OF THE
FREDERICK COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION
Held in the Board of Supervisors' Meeting Room, September 12, 1978
PRESENT: C. Langdon Gordon, Chairman; Frank Brumback, Vice Chairman;
Manuel DeHaven; James Golladay, Jr.; W. French Kirk;
Thomas Rosenberger; Elmer Venskoske
ABSENT: Herbert L. Sluder
The Chairman called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.
The Commission proceeded with a general discussion of the progress on
the zoning maps to date and each commissioner gave his views. The consensus
was that the work so far was correct and the Commission should proceed,
however, several members emphasized that the progress should not be too hasty
and the public should be given ample opportunity to comment. Mr. DeHaven
reiterated his view that down zoning of paid zonings could cause many lawsuits.
The Commission then proceeded to discuss letters received to date regarding
the maps. The request by Winchester T V Cable Company that parcel 53(A)60
remain zoned Business, B -2, was considered and the Commission agreed that the
request should be granted.
The request by Clinton L. Ritter that parcels 40(A)94A and 94B be kept
industrial for the purpose of operating a sawmill was deferred to another meeting
so that the flood plain on Hogue Creek could be studied.
The requests by Ben Butler and Gantt Miller that the Hackwood property
remain zoned R -4 for a planned unit development was deferred to another meeting
so that more information could be gathered.

The letter from Glaiae Development was also deferred so that the Commission
could discuss the plans of the Sanitation Authority with Mr. Jones, Engineer
Director.
The Commission then proceeded to discuss corrections to the maps. The
single lot designated as 55(A)42 that was proposed R -3 rather than R -6 was
corrected. The .80354 tract of H. S. White fronting Route 614 was inadvertently
left off the maps and the Commission requested that it be put on the map.
The Commission next discussed areas that were still in question on the
maps. It was decided that parcels 74(A) 37, 39 and 40 should be B -1, that
the Lakeside Estates townhouses should be R -2, and that nothing should be
decided on Route 50 east until the Sanitation Authority could be consulted.
It was also decided that at least one more meeting should be held to complete
all the areas in question before the Commission meets again with the Board of
Supervisors.
There being no further business, the Chairman adjourned the meeting.
Respectfully Submitted,
H. Ronald Berg, Secretary Of
