Re; Appeal Application #12 -05 of Donald Conrad
May 11, 2005
Dear Frederick Co. Board of Zoning Appeals,
I'm writing about the appeal for Donald Conrad for the property at 712
Dicks Hollow Road. There as been problems with this arrangement since day one with
him and my mother who lives in the house next to him at 626 Dicks Hollow Road. I have
spoke to him on problems in the past and he doesn't even care about any issue that you
may have. It's always about him and what he wants and if it doesn't work for you, oh
well. He will go out and run his trucks for HOURS at a time and the diesel smells are
really bad. The trucks are parked right next to the fence that was put up to keep some of
the odor away and for him to stop running his big trucks across our yard and grooving the
ground which isn't his. The fence, which he also complained about, does stop his trucks,
but since he parks them right next to it, does nothing for the fumes. He knows of this
problem but shows no concern as he continues to do it. My mother who lives in the house
and has since my father built it in 1975 has a lot of health problems, more than even I
could start to list. The list may be shorter if I was able to tell you what she doesn't have.
My family, which now is just my mother has lived there for 30 years and I do not think
this trucking problem should be allowed. My great grand father, Freeman Boyce, owned
all the land on both sides of Dicks Hollow Road in the area where these properties are for
many turns along this road. This area as always been for the quiet families and as a Rural
Area for all my life and then some. I hope that you will leave it as it is and not allow the
trucks to be there and continue to cause the problems they do. I also hope the other
people who have been complaining in the area will speak up. My mother suffers the most
because she is the closest to him. Her health should also be a great consideration in
making this decision. She should not have to make changes and live her life out in more
pain and discomfort, or be asked to move somewhere else for better health and living
conditions after she as already invested 30 years where she is. I'm sorry I had to be out of
town this week and couldn't attend your meeting. I thank you for accepting my letter and
I hope you will keep the land as it has been for many years. Since it is the last piece my
great grand father owned, I with my family plan to live there in the future and we too
would hope we didn't have these problems. Our health is good now, but who knows
about later. I will close, and hope this letter and any other comments you may have heard
will help save this land from being turned into everything you get from the "big city life ".
Th s a ain,
Richard L. Hawkins Jr.
RA land owner of 626 Dicks Hollow Rd.

RE: Appeal statement 712 Dicks Hollow Rd. Dump trucks
I am appealing the decision of this office related to a complaint made 3/25/05. The complaint that was
made was most likely the work of a nosey neighbor who was actually upset over a prior incident in which
my stepdaughter was in her yard attempting to catch her dog after the last snow. This incident resulted in an
argument and thus the reporting of my trucks which have never bothered her for the last year and a half.
I
I do not operate an illegal business and fully comply with State and Federal guidelines. I am an upstanding
member of the community and hard - working small business owner. I am well known and have a good
reputation in the construction industry which I feel could be damaged by your decision and this complaint.
I am not interested in keeping a fleet of trucks here, only two. My prior experience with rerrulte storage of
vehicles has convinced me that constant monitoring during non - working hours is crucial due to the ever -
increasing costs of insurance, repairs from vandalism, fuel, high taxes and fees on everything possible.
Solely, this is the machinery that is responsible for my family's well -being and prosperity.
My company, family, and I have done nothing, but attempt to do good for our neighbors and community.
As a hard - working businessman that helps our community thrive, l urge you to reconsider any further
action.
Thank you for your serious consideration in this matter.
Donald Conrad, Jr.
