MASTER DEVELOPMENTS PLANS

single- family detached housing lots, open space, and state maintained roads
in the Opequon Magisterial District.
ACTION - Approved
Mr. Horne gave the background information.
Mr. Christopher Moulden of Valley Mortgage and Investment
Corporation came forward to represent this application.
Chairman Brumback inquired if all engineering work had been
completed for water runoff. Mr. Moulden stated that additional improvements
have been completed and the Highway Department consulted.
Mr. Golladay inquired if the storm water retention pond would be
built with the first phase of development. Mr. Golladay also inquired about
the minimum open space required. Mr. Horne replied that the retention pond
would not necessarily be completed with the first phase of development and he
felt the second phase would probably create greater stormwater runoff than
the first phase. He added that the minimum open space required for this
housing type is 15% and the applicant is meeting those requirements.
Mr. Golladay stated that he received a phone call from Mrs. Ritchie,
President of Fredericktowne Homeowners' Association, and the homeowners are
concerned about traffic problems on Route 642 and Caroline Drive. Mr. Horne
recommended that this road be referred to the Transportation Committee for
study.
Upon motion made by Mr. Golladay, seconded by Mr. Romine, and passed
unanimously,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby
approve Preliminary Master Development Plan #002 -84 of Albin Village for 219
