an adult care facility at 549 Valley Mill Road, came forward to speak regarding this application.
Mr. Collins said that he generally opposed all proposed development in this district until the roads
could adequately handle the traffic. Mr. Collins felt he was not properly notified of the public

Frederick County consider the project as residential.
