Romine,
Upon motion made by Mr. Wilson and seconded by Mr.

hereby unanimously approve the subdivision request of Pembridge
Heights, Section III, for the division of eight lots (4.5185 acres)
for single - family detached cluster dwellings. This property is
located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Routes 642
and 647, just north of Albin Village, in the Opequon District.
Subdivision Application of Frederick Woods for the division of 91
lots (33.50 acres), zoned RP, for single - family detached cluster
dwellings in the Opequon District.
Action - Approved
Mr. Charles W. Maddox, Jr., project engineer with G. W.
Clifford & Associates, noted that the owner had agreed to
contribute to the Route 642 improvement project. He said that the
plan also provides connectors to adjacent properties.
It was pointed out that when the right -of -way is
established for Route 642, the 15% open space for the development
would not be met.
The staff felt that Lots 12, 13, 14 88 and 89 were
® questionable building lots due to the size and shape of the
permitted building area. Mr. Maddox presented a handout of house
3122
•
plans that could be constructed within the building area of the
questionable building lots.
Some Commissioners were hesitant about approving the
questionable building lots because of the situation that could be
created for potential future homeowners. Chairman Golladay felt
that a legal situation could be created if the Commissioners denied
the subdivision based on suspicious building lots, because the
applicant had demonstrated that the lots were buildable. Although
the commissioners felt they could not dictate to the developer the
house size for the lots, they felt that the Planning and
Inspections Departments needed to be coordinated so that setbacks
were met.
Upon motion made by Mr. DeHaven and seconded by Mr.
Wilson, the Commission voted unanimously to make Mr. Maddox's
handout regarding housing types that could be built on the
questionable lots a part of the official record. (Attachment at
end of minutes.)
McDonald,
Upon motion made by Mr. Thomas and seconded by Mr.
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does
hereby approve the subdivision application of Frederick Woods for
the division of 91 lots (33.50 acres), zoned RP, for single - family
detached cluster dwellings. This property is located at the
southeast corner of the intersection of Routes 642 and 647, just
north of Albin Village, in the Opequon District.
The vote was as follows:
