Mr. Romine said that he would be announcing two more additions to the area's industrial community in the near future. Final Subdivision Plat of the Mark Jon Tenenbaum Land to subdivide 12.5 acres into an 8.5 acre parcel and a 4 acre parcel in the Shawnee District. Action - Approved Mr. Watkins noted that the lot in question did not have frontage on a state - maintained road. He said that the subdivision ordinance requires that lots front on a dedicated road. He explained that the applicant is re- establishing a lot that previously existed on the original JIC subdivision plat. He said that, at one time, this lot was added to the larger tract and now it is being divided back off. Mr. Watkins further explained that an industrial access request is currently pending for the section of right -of -way that would go from this area back to Route 728, which would be relatively close to the Tenenbaum lot. He said that the industrial access request is currently tied up because one of the property owners on Route 728 has not yet dedicated a small triangle of property for the radius for the entrance on Route 728. Mr. Watkins felt that the industrial access question needed to be resolved and a road constructed back to this area in the industrial park. Mr. Stiles said that if a response is not received from the property owner on the acquisition of the triangle of property needed for the radius, the Board would proceed with condemnation. Mr. Mark Tenenbaum, the owner, explained to the Commission what was proposed for this lot. Upon motion made by Mr. DeHaven and seconded by Mr. Romine, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously approve the final subdivision plat of the Mark Jon Tenenbaum Land, zoned M -1, for the subdivision of an 8.5 acre lot and a 4 acre lot from the existing 12.5 acres 2861 located north of Route 728, at the intersection of Route 50 and Route 728, in the Shawnee District. Final Subdivision Plat of Lenoir City Company of Virginia land, zoned M -1, for the subdivision of two lots, Parcel D -3 (0.9242 acres) and Parcel E (11.0166 acres) in the Stonewall District. Action - Approved Mr. Watkins said that an application for industrial access has been applied for on this right -of -way and the Board of Supervisors has passed a resolution on it. He said that the staff recommends approval of this subdivision with the understanding that this road is being provided through the industrial access process. Mr. Tom Gilpin, with Lenoir City Company of Virginia, explained that they were in a "Catch -22" situation in that the County Ordinance states that before subdivision can occur, access to a state- maintained road is needed and the State Highway Access Program prohibits applying for access funds if there is access to a state - maintained road. Mr. Gilpin said that they had to subdivide the property in two different parcels. Mr. Gilpin noted that this lot is for Century Graphics.
