AMENDMENT TO AGENDA Chairman Del -laven suggested a rearrangement of the agenda in order for the Commission to discuss thetwo requests for estensions of sewer and wa ter services first, in the interest of saving time for those citizens present for their requests. Upon motion made by Coin in1ssioner Morris and seconded byCommissioner Gochenour, the Commission unanimously agreed to the rearrangement of the agenda items. r1 LJ Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of February 5, 2003 Page 101 1 - 3 - DISCUSSION ITEMS Request for Extension of Sewer and Water Services, submitted by Tim B. Thomas and Denise L. Thomas, for the extension of water and sewer to approximately one acre of land. This is a request for extension of water and seweroutside of the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). The property is located on the cast side of Double Church Road, immediately east of the Hartwood and Woodside subdivisions and is identified with Property Identification Number 86 -A- 71A in the Opequon Magisterial District. Action - Recommended Denial Commissioner Unser stated that he would abstain from all discussion and votin_ on this request, due to a possible conflict of interest. Planning Director Eric R. Lawrence reported that the staff has received a request from Mr. Tim B. Thomas and Ms. Denise L. Thomas to consider the extension of water and sewer services to a one -acre parcel of land outside ofthe County's Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). He said the property is located on the east side of Double Church Road, immediately east of the Hartwood and Woodside subdivisions. Director Lawrence stated that the request was reviewed by the Comprehensive Plans & Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) on January 13, 2003; however, the CPPS did not support the request, primarily because it was an extension of the sewer service outside of any of the service areas in the UDA. He said in addition, the CPPS noted that the property is currently in use as a residence with a functioning health system; they believed there was not health issue that required the extension of sewer and water service to the subject property. Director Lawrence added that in the Spring of 2002, a number ofSWSA expansion scenarios were presented to the Board of Supervisors; the project was termed the "277 SWSA Expansion" and included the area east of Double Church Road, which included the subject site. He said the Board approved a SWSA expansion scenario which did not include the subject property. Mr. Tim B. Thomas and Ms. Denise L. Thomas were available to answer questions from the Commission. Commission members had concerns about the precedent that may be set to keep moving the SWSA boundary in this location. They commented that unless there were sonic other plans for the property besides residential, they saw no reason to extend sewer and water service, at this point in time, as long as the Thomas' had a functioning health system and were not having problems with their system. The Commissioners concurred with the CPPS's recommendation that the request was inappropriate. Upon motion made by Commissioner Light and seconded by Commissioner Rosenberry, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously reconunend the denial ofthe request for extension of sewer and water services, submitted by Mr. Tim B. Thomas and Ms. Denise L. Thomas, for the extension of water and sewer outside of the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). • Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of February 5. 2003 Page 1012 -4- ( Please Note Commissioner Unger abstained from voting.) Request for Extension of Sewer and Water Services, submitted by Robert Trenary, forth c extension of water and sewer to approximately 80 acres of land. This is a request for extension of water and sewer outside of the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). The property is located on Forest Lakes Drive, south of Fairfax Pike and Hudson Hollow Road, and is identified with Property Identification Numbers 86 -A -211 and 86 -A -212 in the Opequon Magisterial District. Action - Recommended Denial Planning Director Eric R. Lawrence reported that the staff has received a request fi Mr. Robert Trenary to considerthe extension of waterand sewer services to an approximate 80 -acre parcel of land outside of the County's Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). He said'the property is located just southeast of the County park and is accessed off of Forest Lake Drive. Director Lawrence stated that the request was reviewed by the Comprehensive Plans & Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) on January 13, 2003; however, the CPPS did not supporrthe request, primarily because it was an extension of the sewer service outside of any of the service areas in the UDA. Director Lawrence added that in the Spring of 2002, a number of SWSA expansion scenarios were presented to the Board of Supervisors; the project was termed the "277 SWSA Expansion" and included the Hudson Hollow Road area. He said the Board approved a SWSA expansion scenario which did not include the subject property. Again, as with the previous request, the Commissioners had concerns about the precedent that may be set to keep moving the SWSA boundary in this location. They concurred with the CPPS's recommendation that this request was inappropriate at this time. Upon motion made by Commissioner Ours and seconded by Commissioner Kriz, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend the denial ofthe request for extension of sewer and water services, submitted by Mr. Robert Trenary, for the extension ofwater and sewer outside of the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). PUBLIC HEARINGS Rezoning #02 -03 of the Winchester Medical Center, submitted by G. W. Clifford & Associates, Inc. to rezone 50.0540 acres from B2 (Business General) to B2 (Business General) with revised proffers, and 51.9676 acres from RA (Rural Areas) to MS (Medical Support). This property is located north and U Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of February 5. 2003 Page 1013 - 5 - adjacent to Route 50 and west and adjacent to Route 37, and is identified with Property Identification Number 53 -A -68 in the Gainesboro Magisterial District. Action - Tabled for 30 Days Deputy Planning Director Christopher M. Mohn presented the staff s review and analysis of the proposed rezoning. Mr. Mohn acknowledged that the zoning districts proposed through the application were fundamentally consistent with the provisions ofthe Comprehensive Policy Plan, specifically the Round Hill Community Land Use Plan (Phase 1) and the Route 37 West Land Use Plan; however, issues of concern remained, primarily regardingthe projeetdesign and transportation, which he explained to the Commission in detail. In summary, Mr. Mohn reiterated that the application lacks substantive project design standards to facilitate conformance with the corridor design objectives of the Round Hill Community Land Use Plan and con cernsremain regard ingthetransportationim pacts of the proposal. He noted again that the Comprehensive Policy Plan sought no less than a Level of Service "C" on roads adjoining new development. He said the transportation improvements proposed with this application do not attain fulfillment of this critical policy objective. Mr. Charles E. Maddox, Jr., P.E., V.P. with G. W. Clifford & Associates, Inc., the representative for the Winchester Medical Center, stated that it was his pleasure to workwith Mr. C. Douglas Rosen and the Winchester Medical Center Board in developing this proposal over the last two years. Mr. Maddox said the purpose of this plan is to integrate additional lands into the Winchester Medical Center Campus to ensure that capacity will exist for the facility well into the future. Mr. Maddox spoke about the Winchester Medical Center's commitment to good transportation, noting that their existing facility was an absolute testament to good transportation, and that the cohesivenatureoftheplanningontheexistingfacility will be carried forward on this new campus. He also pointed Out the importance of integrating this plan with the proposed W W W development proposal, located west ofthis site, and to coordinate facilities, both public and private, in order to provide the resources necessary to build the capacity into the system. Mr. Maddox proceeded with an in -depth discussion ofthetransportation proposal and proffered improvements forthis site; he also described the proposed uses planned for the site. One of the biggest concerns voiced by numerous Commissioners was the issue of design standards for the Route 50 corridor. They pointed out that the applicant's proffer regarding landscape design for the business and commercial development and the protective covenants was vague. 'rhe Commissioners were interested in seeingan overall architectural/design plan forthe commercial and business developmentthat would meet the particularly high visual standard that the Winchester Medical Center and the Valley Health Systems have previously established in order to maintain an overall cohesive appearance along the Route 50 corridor. Mr. C. Douglas Rosen, Senior Vice - President with Valley Health Systems said he was responsible forconstruction throughout the entire Valley Health System and assured the Commission that the Board of Directors for Valley Health Systems insist on visually- appealing construction that would match the existing Winchester Medical Centercampus. In response to a question from the Commission, Mr. Rosen said the Valley Health Systems Board would have direct oversight of the B2 area and would control how the properties are developed. Mr. Rosen stated that their primary interest initially is a hotel that could be used by patients' families from out of town. Commission members suggested the establishment of an architectural review board. • Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of Cebaiary 5, 2003 Page 1014 6- The other major concern of the Planning Commission was the transportation issues involved with the project and, specifically, that the Level of Sery ice of the transportation system servin g the site more than likely will diminish from the current "C' to "D" upon completion of the first phase of the proffered transportation plan. They pointed out that the applicant has committed to do a transportation study at 50% build -out, butregardless ofthe study results, there are no triggers in place to stop development or to implement some type of improvement in the situation. Mr. Maddox believed these issues could be worked out without a major problem and suggested a tabling of the rezoning for 30 days. Mr. Jerry Copp and Mr. Ben Lineberryfrom VDOTwere available to answer questions from the Planning Commission. Questions from the Commission included whether or not a Level of Service "D" was acceptable; and, whether or notthe hospital's interchange off Route 37 was built with the assumption there would not be a western end. In response to the first question, Mr. Copp said thatthe desired Level of Service is "C," however, the level of service will fall to "D" attraffic lights duringcertain times ofthe day. Regarding the hospital's interchange on Route 37, Mr. Copp replied that because the Route 522 and Route 50 interchan are so close and due to the weaving motions that exist, a configuration to the West will probably network. He explained thatthe Commonwealth Transportation Board would first have to approve Frederick County's desire to have the break and then VDOT would have to approve the design. Other questions directed at VDOT representatives concerned who was responsible for road construction. Mr. Copp explained that VDOT will not fund the construction of roads; VDOT will maintain the road after construction. He said that construction of roads are paid for by the people who desire the road. It was pointed out that Frederick County does not pay for the construction of roads. Mr. Ben Lineberry added that in past occasions in Frederick County, phases of road construction have been paid for by the developers who desire the road. Mr. Copp agreed that this is how things get done. Chairman DeHaven called for public comments and the following persons came forward to speak: Mr. Dennis Booker, a restaurant owner in the Round Hill Community, expressed concern aboutthe fact thatwaterand sewer for the Winchester Medical Center and the W W W would stay on the north side of Route 50 and would not serve any homeowners on the south side. Mr. Booker said the residents on the south side of Route 50 are going to be impacted by this development and w i l l not be getting access to the water and sewer that they need. Likewise, he commented thatthere has been discussion on Route 50 traffic heading west, but no consideration of the traffic heading east. Ms. Nancy Johnson was concerned about losing portions of her property to provide additional travel lanes for Winchester Medical Center's proposal. Mr. John Good, Jr. of Stonewall District and Vice President of the Farmers' Livestock Exchange, Inc., located just across Route 50 from the subject site, stated that the Farmers' Livestock Exchange, Inc. wishes to supportthe Winchester Medical Centerand their efforts 100 %. Mr. Good believed the Winchester Medical Center greatly contributes to the community and deserves the community's support. Mr. Good next recalled some earlier comments made concerning the appearance of the 7/11 structure, which sits on land owned by the Farmers' Livestock Exchange, Inc. Mr. Good stated that his Board is completely • Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of February 5, 2003 Page 1015 -7- satisfied with the Southland Corporation's development of the site; he noted that South land's business is an integral part of tile survival ofthe Farmers' Livestock Exchange, Inc. to serve theagricultural community; he said the Livestock Exchange's Board would not have suggested that Southland change their corporate colors. Commission in embers recognized the applicant's willingness to work with the staff oil some of the issues of concern. Therefore, a motion was made by Commissioner Rosenberry and seconded by Commissioner Straub to table the application for 30 days. BE ITRESOLV ED, "fhatthe Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously agree to table Rezoning #02 -03 ofthe Winchester Medical Center, submitted byG. W. Clifford & Associates, Inc. to rezone 50.0540 acres from B2 (Business General) to B2 (Business General) with revised proffers, and 51.9676 acres from RA (Rural Areas) to MS (Medical Support), in order to allow time for the applicant to address issues raised by the Planning Staff and the Planning Commission. DISCUSSION OF THE NORTHEAST LAND USE PLAN Action - Recommended Approval Chairman DeHaven announced that any discussions of the specific Slaughter/ Shockey/ or McCann proposals may present him with a conflict of interest; therefore, he would abstain from participation in those discussions and he passed the Chair over to Commissioner Light. Planning Director Eric R. Lawrence stated that on June 12, 2002, the Board of Supervisors directed the Planning Staff to re- examine the land use policies associated with the Northeast Land Use Plan ( NELUP). Director Lawrence reported that the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) began reviewing and discussing the NELUP over the last six months and, attheir December 9, 2002 meeting, forwarded a recommendation thatthey believed addressed the concerns identified by the Board of Supervisors; this plan was identified as Revised NELUP, Alternative #I. He also noted that four citizens from the Stephenson area of the County were appointed to the CPPS and participated with the other 13 members. Director Lawrence presented the revised plan to the Commission as a discussion item for consideration and direction as appropriate. Director Lawrence reviewed the Five points that the Board of Supervisors specifically requested to be addressed. He also pointed out that at the beginning of this project, the Planning Staff learned that the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation (SVBF) was undertaking a study of various battlefield Clusters in the Valley. He said that although the SVBF has not yet issued an official recommendation, they did specify that the Stephenson Depot area was viable for preservation. Accordingly, the CPPS recognized the area initially identified by the SVBF as a Developmentally Sensitive Area (DSA). He stated that the CPPS also received three requests from property owner groups within the study area, which included: 1) the Shockey /Slaughter property owners to consider 1,300 acres as a mixed residential land use and to consider expansion of the UDA; 2) the Redbud Road Property Owners Group, located adjacent to the Shockey /Slaughter property along Redbud Road, to consider this area for mixed residential land use and inclusion in the UDA; and, 3) Woodsmill Estates Property Owners Association, also adjacent to the Shockey /Slaughter property, and to consider their area for mixed residential land use and inclusion in the UDA. • Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of February 5, 2003 Page 1016 R Director Lawrence advised thatthe CPPS did not endorse any ofthe proposals. He reported that the consensus of opinion throughout the CPPS' s d iscussions was that the primary area which needed to be addressed with in the NELUP was the area South of Old Charles Town Road and East of Route I I; and, to determine what was the appropriate use for that area of the County. Director Lawrence continued, stating that the CPPS concluded their discussions and by a majority decision, recommended that the existing Land Use Plan for the Northeast Study be forwarded to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors with only one change; the one change was the SVBF's recommendation for anex pan dedDSA around Ste phensonsDepot. He said the CPPS also requestedthatstaff bring two ofthe other alternatives to the Comm ission and Board for information and to show some ofthe other thoughts that were circulated at the table. The only significant change to Alternative #2 was to remove the Industrial land use designation and move back the S WSA, with the DSA enlarged; and, Alternative #3, which was strongly supported bythe citizen liaisons, specified reduced amounts of industrial and commercial land use, increased DSA and rural areas, and provisions to extend water and sewer to various rural community centers. Procedural issues were next discussed bythe Commission. Some ofthe Commissioners were under the impression that public meetings throughout the community were supposed to be held prior to the submission ofthe N ELUP to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. Other Commissioners noted that representatives ofthe Stephenson community were involved at the subcommittee level; they also noted that public meetings would definitely be apart ofthe adoption process for the land use plan, after some of the alternatives were narrowed down. Director Lawrence advised that the presentation to the Board of Supervisors is a progress report and to provide staff with direction. Another issue raised by the Commission concerned the Board of Supervisors' impending decision on Route 37 and the effects of that decision on land use in the northeast. It was noted that the transportation impacts of County decisions will be greatly affected by whether or not Route 37 is in the Primary Road Plan or not. Comments on the industrial portion ofthe NELUP were also madeand particularly, a report that indicated the County's industrial developmentto be woefully behind where it should be in order to assist with the County's tax base and tax rates. In addition, some members believed the Commission should entertain discussion on the homeowners associations' requests regarding the extension ofthe S WSA because of septic field problems. Commissioners believed these relevant issues needed to be addressed forthe citizens in this area and direction from the Board was needed on how the NELUP was to be viewed. Commissioner Rosenberry made a motion to send the NELUP back to the CPPS for the purpose ofplanningpubIic meetings for pub IicinPut. This motion was seconded by CommissionerGochenour. The motion failed by the following vote: YES (TO APPROVE MOTION TO SEND BACK TO CPPS) Straub, Gochenour, Rosenberry NO: Watt, Unger, Morris, Ours, Kriz, Fisher, Triplett, Light ABSTAIN Del-laven The majority ofCommission members believed that public meetings would occur as a partof this process, however, their interest was to receive directive from the Board on what is needed to be looked at • Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of February 5, 2003 Page 1017 -9- specifically. 40 Upon a motion made by Commissioner Morris and seconded by Commissioner Fisher, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby agree to forward the CPPS's original recommendation, the current, adopted Northeast Land Use Plan within the Comprehensive Policy Plan, along with all four of the proposed alternative plans, as well as the recent Shockey/ McCann/ Slaughter proposals, to the Board for further review and guidance. The vole was as follows: YES (TO APPROVE MOTION TO SEND FORWARD TO THE BOARD) Triplett, Fisher, Kriz, Ours, Light, Morris, Unger, Watt NO: Rosenberry, Gochenour, Straub ABSTAIN DeHaven Commissioner Light relinquished the Chair back to Chairman DeHaven. Chairman DeHaven pointed out that there were three individual, formal requests from citizen groups for consideration of an amendment to the Comprehensive Policy Plan and he asked the other commissioners if they would be willing to have these representatives publicly present their requests to verify what the, are proposing and why. The consensus of the Commission was that they would be willing to hear from the citizens present. Chairman DeHaven called for any citizen member who wished to speak. Mr. Glen Penton, of Stonewall District, believed that the public in the Stephenson area has been systematically left out of the process. Mr. Penton said the citizens of Stephenson don't care what the County believes; they do not want certain things, even though it was zoned that way five or ten years ago. He said the citizens of Stephenson want to participate in the process and they want public meetings, in order for this plan to go forward with their support. Mr. Penton said the citizen members of the CPPS believed that by including Jordan Springs, W oodsmi I I, and Redbud, these areas would receive the same land use benefits as Mr. Shockey's portion and a more logical SWSA and UDA would be created. However, he said that when the formal requests for inclusion in the U DA were made to the CPPS, each of the requests were voted down and none of the properties were included in the UDA. Mr. Penton said the industrial area was then placed back into theplan, Mr. Penton believed the Board of Supervisors was not being presented with anythingtheycould make a rational decision with. Mr. Penton concluded by imploring the Commission to let the citizens give their input as to what they want in their community because they own the community and they pay the taxes. He said that if they want a certain lifestyle, that's what they want. Chairman DeHaven asked Mr. Penton if the consensus of the homeowners association was that their request to be included in the UDA should only be considered if there's going to be a change in the UDA line. Mr. Penton replied thatall of the citizens lie spoke with would rather not have the UDA anywhere; however, if the UDA is anticipated to be added in some locations, they would rather have it put in everywhere. Chairman DeHaven advised that if the citizens' desire was to have this property included in the UDA only if U Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of February 5, 2003 Page 1018 the Shockey tract is included, then the citizens should submit this in writing to the Planning Staff. Mr. Ron Combs, a resident ofthe Woodsmill subdivision in Stonewall District, agreed with Mr. Penton that if the UDA is going to be included at all, it should be included everywhere. Referring to the plan recommended by the CPPS, Mr. Combs said that if, after six months, all the CPPS did was put the battlefield in, then the CPPS got an "F" for effort. Mr. Combs said the citizens did not want industrial development along the Route I I corridor. He commented about expanding industrial uses in his area and said they are getting trucks up and down their roads and don't need them. He also commented that with Mr. Shockey's development proposal, there's the possibility they would get additional ballflelds to replace those that may be lost by the possibility of the quarry's expansion. Chairman DeHaven next relinquished the Chair back to Commissioner Light. Mr. Evan A. Wyatt with Greenway Engineering came forward to represent the Shockey property owners. Mr. Wyatt said the Shockey proposal is to amend the industrial area, which is somewhat suspect in this area ofthe community, to a Residential Planned Community project. In Mr. Wyatt's opinion, the community meetings and tours they've previously undertaken have been extremely important in this process because it provided the community and the decision - makers with educational opportunities for this new concept. Mr. Wyatt stated that the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Policy Plan, which calls for the expansion ofthe UDA and the modification ofthe industrial land use to Residential Planned Community, is beneficial to the overall community and, primarily, to the surrounding Stephenson community for the following reasons: 1) it provides for control of suburban sprawl; 2) it provides an opportunity for community shopping; 3) it provides for ballflelds and a school within walking distance; 4) it provides for affordable housing forthe elderly; 5) water and sewer infrastructure is available to extend into the Stephenson community area; arid, 6) the mix of housing types within Residential Planned Communities reduces impacts to schools compared totraditional -style subdivisions. In addition, Mr. Wyatt said their proposal does not call for rezoning ofthe core battlefield area; it provides open space preservation for a linear green corridor along Hyatt's Run; and it provides positive tax revenue for schools and other services. Mr. Wyatt next briefly explained the proposal using a display. The Board of Supervisors' representative forthe Back Creek District, Lynda Tyler, provided the Commission with a copy ofheroriginal motion and recommendation bythe Board ofSupervisors to send the NELUP back to the CPPS; she believed the information was somewhat abbreviated in the Planning Commission'sagenda. Supervisor Tyler believed the discussion before the Commission was out of order and she was glad the Commission was sending it forward to the Board for further direction. She said that Item Numbers 1, 3, and 5 were not completed as far as her intent when she made her motion to the Board. Supervisor Tyler next explained in detail to the Commission why she believed each one ofthese items had not been completed by the CPPS and how she wanted them to be addressed. Mr. Doug Cochran, Jr. of the Stonewall District said that he participated on the CPPS as a citizen liaison duringthe discussions on theNELUP and he pointed out what he believed were errors and over- simplification of facts contained in the Planning Staff's memorandum. He believed the over - simplified summarization provided false conclusions thata potentially beneficial exercise was properly carried out. He explained his views on what happened and what was discussed at the CPPS meetings. No one else came forwardto speak and Chairman DeHaven closed the discussion ofthis item. n LJ Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of February 5, 2003 Page 1019 ADJOURNMENT No further business remained to be discussed and the meeting adjourned at 10:30 p.m. by a unanunous vote. submitted, E 'c R.
