has been drawn. The frontage is approximately 900 feet on Route
277 between Stephens City and Double Tollgate and approximately
6000 feet on Route 522 in Clarke County. He also stated that
there are 1196 acres with approximately 1144 acres in Frederick
County and approximately 50 -60 acres in Clarke County. He further
stated that this appears to be the first application to the new
Zoning Ordinance with someone attempting to rezone from Agricul-
tural to R -5 (Residential - Recreational Community). Mr. Tisinger
added that a requirement of this Section is that a master plan be
presented to the Commission for a recommendation; then sent on to

inger stated that, if approved, that developers will appear be-
fore the Planning Commission with preliminary plans to show how

ed that will provide approximately 135 acres of lake, He further
stated that, as required, 35% of the entire area will be set a-
side for recreational or open space,
Mr, Tisinger stated that some 350 acres, if approved, would
be set aside for recreational or open -land areas.
Mr. Tisinger stated that it is contemplated that the area
will be served by a central water and sewer system to be located
on the property. He said that something may be worked out with
the Frederick County Sanitation Authority if the development it-
self and the neighboring area would justify the extension of
water and sewer lines.
Mr. Tisinger stated that the developers do not anticipate
this becoming a permanent home residence area; but rather, that
it be attractive for those who want a second home.
Mr. Tisinger further stated that forty (40) acres will be
set aside initially for townhouses and multi - family dewllings
(2 areas of 20 acres each). He said the developers will change
their plans should these townhouses not be attractive or compat-
ible, He further-stated that there are two six (6) -acre village
centers planned. He added that the developers intend to preserve
the environment within their application.

The Chairman asked about the "area impact" anticipated with
this project and the amount of time before completion.
Mr. Fred Glaize, III stated that it would be many years be-
0
fore total completion. He also stated that it is too large an
area to submit final plans at this time for the entire tract - -it
will be developed in portions,
Mr. Richard Madigan asked for a Master Plan in relation to
impact. He also asked for a Master Plan in relation to antici-
pated County services required and anticipated County profit po-
tential (taxes less services equalling profit potential) per year,
Mr. Richard Madigan asked about the restrictive covenants.
Mr. Tisinger stated that the only way to provide proper pro-
tection for the people in the subdivision is to put restrictive
covenants in the deed.
James Bowman stated that the plan to put in a sewage system
•
to serve the entire area would include approximately 2000 acres
(everything south of Route 277). He further stated they intend
to ask the Sanitation Authority to build a sewage plant after
guaranteed feasibility is proven. He added that the proven feas-
ibility would have to include adjoining landowners. Mr. Bowman r�s
i
11:M

that would be laid down Route 277,

information of the "concept ". (These are not either prelimin-
ary or final plans.)
Langdon Gordon asked the number of lots planned per block,
etc.
Mr, Tisinger replied that the answer will be incorporated
• in the Flow Process Chart,
OPPOSITION

amendment to the application for rezoning of approximately 6000
feet of frontage in Clarke County.
Mr. Bates asked if the sewage leakage from Sandy's Trailer
Park would contaminate the proposed lake and what would happen
to Sandy's lagoon.
Roy Williams (Health Department) stated that he was not
aware of the contamination problem.
Mr, Bates asked what would happen to the dam if this appli-
cation is disapproved or sewage plant is not approved. He stated
• that Mr. Brad Chewning of State Water Control Board (as of 1:15 PM
today) had stated that there are no State standards for dam struc-
tural specifications and no governing body with the authority of
\ �I
•
approval,

James Giles (sp) stated that the dam has stopped the flow
of water to the stream that is his water source.

Route 636 and adjacent roads,
James Bowman stated that there would be two (2) entrances:
Route 277 entrance and Route 522 entrance, He added that Route
636 is a temporary construction entrance,
Virgil Bates stated that "concepts" are extremely dangerous
•
in his opinion without everything being detailed for decision
makers. He added that the market is declining from second home
projects.
Mr. Bates questioned the theory that security need not be
provided from outside the complex. He stated that the Sheriff's
Department of Clarke County spends 2/3 of its time in Greenway (sp)
District which lies along the Warren County border where Shenandoah
Farms, Shenandoah Shores, Shenandoah River of Lake River Estates
are located. He said that these communities have a great problem
with vandalism and burglary. He further stated that it was his
feeling that the surrounding landowners experienced increased
vulnerability to these crimes without the private security force
of the
complex
for
protection, He
said that
Shenandoah
Farms no
longer
has its
own
security force
because of
the expense.
He
asked if there would be a "binding" for 100 years, for example.
• He also said that a never - ending entity (or comparable) providing
for security may be necessary as well as an explanation of how to
L�
-10-
J finance the security force, He also said that the exceptions
would be bankruptcy and sqecific arrangements with the property
• owners within the subdivision,
Bill Tisinger stated that the .land could be developed in
five (5) -acre tracts and not have to go through this problem,
Richard Madigan stated that they can develop the land in
large tracts without asking for approval and feels that it is
best to achieve the best possible method of development.
Upon motion made by Richard Madigan, seconded by James W.
Golladay, and unanimously approved,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Planning Commission for the County
of Frederick, Virginia, does hereby recommend to the Board of
Supervisors the approval of the master plan for Wheatland Re-
creational Subdivision R -5 with these stipulations:
That they provide information to the Planning Commission
a flow process chart projecting the development stages of pop-
ulation impact tax revenues and cost of services, sectional
development, plans on sewer and water, roads and other amenities
within the subdivision,

PETITION from residents of Lakeside Estates and Immediate
Vicinity to Frederick County Board of Supervisors and dated
August 1, 1975:
We, the undersigned taxpayers and property owners residing in
the immediate vicinity of the site in question, feel the pro-
posed farm implement company is entirely out of character with
our community. We suggest that this sort of business should
not be placed on the site in question nor should the business
be considered for B -1 zoning for the following reasons:
1
1. As evidenced by the following signatures and the many
representative residents attending recent meetings on this matter,
the business is not residentially desirable.
2. A business of---this sort requires heavy _ trucking of
construction and farm equipment w iEc�B- zoned we as resi-
dents will not allow.
3. The business proposed will entertain nuisances far
greater than that presented by the "incidental light and noise
of congregation of people and passenger vehicles" as B -2 zoning
permits.
4. A farm implement company will gain nothing by being
located close to a residential area as many other businesses
would.
5. The residents will have very little if any need in the
services of the proposed business, thereby rendering the bus -
iness useless as far as an improvement from the residential
community standpoint.
• We understand and agree that businesses are inevitable on and
around the site in question, but feel businesses with more resi-
dential desirability, usage, and purpose would be more cor-
rect to consider for this site so closely situated to our homes.
We are most open to compromise and discussion involving consid-
eration of reasonable site usage,
Finally, we feel that approval of this request by Mr, S. Herbert
Shackleford for the construction of a farm implement company
would be unreasonable, partial, and of questionable foundation.
