The Chairman then requested the meeting to proceed with
the Public Hearing on the petition of Interstate Orchard,IInc.
Mr. Wayne A.,Whitham announced that he represented the
petitioner and Mr. Delmer Robinson, Jr., President of the company
was also in attendance. The petition was read and the plat
presented to the Commission and explained by Mr. Whitham and
Mr. Robinson.
A general discussion was held concerning the request to
re -zone 8.2 Acres of the petitioner's land, bounded by InI
Route 81 on the West, U. S. Route 11 on the East, the Virginia -
West Virginia boundary on the North, Virgiria Secondary Route 669
and Rest United Methodist Church on the South from A -2 to M -1 for
a truck stop or truck.terminal. During the general discussion
concerning the petition the Chairman pointed out to the petitioner
that M -1 does not permit truck stops or truck terminals that
this could only be done in M -2.
Whereupon, the petitioner informed the Commission that
they would discard the request for the use of this land as a truck
stop or truck terminal, but still requested it to be re -zoned M -1;
that the adjoining land in West Virginia was without zoning
requirements and that this land was ideally situated for M -1 zoning.
The remaining land in West Virginia on this tract contains
approximately 5.8 Acres.
.Whereupon, there was motion made by Mr. Ritter, seconded
by Mr. Perry that the following resolution be adopted:
® "BE IT RESOLVED, that the
recommend to the Board of Supervisors
petition of Interstate Orchard, Inc.
Planning Commission
the adoption of the
for re- zoning of 8.2 Acres
described in said petition and shown on the attached
plat from A -2 to M -1. Motion passed.
Mr. James R. Wilkins and Mr. James L. Bowman appeared
on behalf of themselves for petition to re -zone lots in Madison
Terrace lying partly or wholly in Frederick County just East
of the City Limits of Winchester, and North of Woodstock Lane,
and West of Interstate Route 81.
A general discussion was held concerning the revised
plat of H. Bruce Edens which was filed with the petition.) After
some discussion it was discovered that the revised plat w made
for the purpose of properly describing the arcs of the curves
at the entrance to the Allen Street off of,Woodstock Lane, and
correcting the length of Lot 12 fronting on Woodstock Lane.
It was further then discovered that the deed of dedication and
amended deed of dedication were recorded only in the City of
Winchester, and not in Frederick County.
Whereupon, the Commission again decided to defer action
on the petition until the deed of dedication was recorded in
Frederick County, it having appeared that it had been approved
by the Board of Supervisors in November, 1967 and July , 1969.
It then appeared that the Board of Supervisors had referred back
to the Planning Commission the re- zoning of lots of Milton Valley
Subdivision fronting on the West side of Paper Mill Road from
Boones Lane to Weems Lane for the reason that the adjoining
property owners and property owners across the roadway had not
been personally notified as required by statute as this was on
motion of the Planning Commission.
Whereupon, the Zoning Administrator, Mr. Jennings,
was requested to supply the Secretary with the list of names and
addresses of property owners and those occupying property
adjoining the proposed area for re- zoning in order that they may
be properly notified pursuant to the statutes of the Public Hearing
upon said zoning.
On motion duly made and seconded and passed, it was
resolved that the next Public Hearing and Meeting of the Planning
Commission would be held at 3:30 P.M., October 8, 1969 in the
County Office Building for the re- zoning of the aforesaid area
on Paper Mill Road from R -2 to B -2, and for the re- zoning of Lots
7 and 8 in said area from M -1 to B -2.
In regard to the Rey Boyce property along Route 11 in
�• Stonewall District and abutting the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad it
was determined that Boyce had filed an amended petition with the
I
i13
Planning Commission ad not with the Board of Supervisors,
and that said petition was not signed.
On motion duly made and seconded, the Secretary
was directed to bring this to the attention of Mr. Boyce's
attorney and have the same referred to the Board of Supervisors
and then m ferred to the Planning Commission for re- zoning of
the entire Boyce tract. The discussion revealed that this
would eliminate the necessity for the Commission to notify
by registered or certified mail the adjoining property owners.
i
There being no further business to come before the
meeting the sane was thereupon adjourned.
Respectfully,
ph A. Massie, Jr. ", Secretary
