Many items which are outlined in greater detail in other sections of this report are directly related or reflect some aspect of the implementation of the policy and goals of the Comprehensive Plan. During FY 1995 the Planning Commission worked to implement the polices of the Comprehensive Plan through adoption of amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance, and completion of the rezoning process for Group II of the Highway Interchange Comprehensive Rezoning. The Planning Commission's focus remains to facilitate development within the Urban and Town Growth Areas while preserving agriculture and historic areas within the County's rural landscape. Direction of the Planning Department Staff to look at creating a "rural development policy" along with development of amendments to the Comprehensive Plan for inclusion of the "Seven Visions" and a "Sensitive Area Element" in accordance with the Planning Act of 1992 reflect this objective. Work toward updating of the Transportation Element also continued during this Fiscal Year. The Consultant for this project Bellomo-McGee, Inc. prepared a draft plan for the Non -Urbanized areas of the County. Ordinances and procedures were also reviewed by the Planning Staff for areas where possible streamlining could occur. It is I anticipated that streamlining review, in accordance with the Planning Act of 1992, will be a high priority during FY 1996. Since the Comprehensive Plan adoption in 1981, the Planning Commission and the Planning Staff have worked continuously to implement its strategies for growth management and improvement of the quality of life in Washington County. The adopted work program for FY 1996 is designed to continue that effort along with meeting the requirements of the Planning Act of 1992. 2 I 0 at p� 3 U W A 0 u 0 E Rr . w VJ b d , ID rn U w� w U W ' A 7 E U O 0% F 4.

The Program was established and is regulated by Agricultural Article, Section 2-501 through 2-515 of the Annotated Code of Maryland. It is administered through a Planning Commission staff member, by the Washington County Agricultural Land Preservation Advisory Board, the County Commissioners, and the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation of the Maryland Department of Agriculture. The Program encourages landowners to voluntarily enter into an Agricultural Land Preservation District in which it is agreed that the land will not be developed for a period of at least five years (to receive County tax credits, the landowner is required to commit his property to agricultural use only, for a period of ten years). In return for that restriction, the landowner receives protection frog► nuisance complaints and becomes eligible to sell a Development Rights Basement. A landowner may exercise the option of selling a Development Rights Easement to the Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation provided that his offer to sell is recommended by the County's Advisory Board and the County Commissioners. At the local level, the Agricultural Advisory Board will review and rank easement applications, assigning point values to such items as farm size, soil quality and development pressure indicators on its easement checklist. Each farm's total point value will assist the Board in determining which farms to recommend for easement purchase and in what order of priority. The Board of 4 County Commissioners makes the final local decision based on Advisory Board recommendations and data gathered at the required public hearing. If purchased by the State of Maryland, the easement will remain effective in perpetuity. During FY 1995, total acreage in the program increased to 22,500 acres with a total of 161 agricultural districts. In the Easement Purchase Program, contracts were issued during FY 95 for two more farms, bringing total easement properties in the program to 18, equalling, 3,934 acres. The Agricultural Preservation Advisory Board is continuing to work with the Planning Commission to monitor the success of the easement program and to consider other options for the long term success of the Agricultural Land Preservation Program. So far we have preserved about as much agriculturally significant acreage through the easement program as we have lost (enclosed chart). In addition, Federal Transportation/State Open Space (ISTEA) funds have purchased easements on over 2,400 acres at Antietam Battlefield. While these easements have been a tremendous boost to our program, remaining funds will buy easements on less than 1,000 additional acres. With the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program continuing to face chronic funding shortages, the Planning Commission directed staff to develop options to permanently preserve agricultural lands. A "Rural Area Development" Plan was drafted and is currently being reviewed by the Planning Commission, Advisory Board and Farm Bureau. The Plan would address the one (1) acre zoning on agricultural lands with provisions to allow greater 5 densities with clustering provisions or the presence of public services. Meetings will be held over the next year to evaluate this plan as well as other options, with recommendations coming from the above listed organizations. 0 AGRICULTURAL SIGNIFICANT LAND CONVERTED TO DEVELOPMENT 1980 TO JUNE 30, 1994 Total Developed Total Converted 23.6% of the land developed between 1980 and June 30, 1995 has been converted from agriculturally significant land. *Reporting period of 18 months was used to change the Planning Commission's Annual Report from a calendar year to a fiscal year. 7 ACREAGE LOTS ACREAGE LOTS %CONVERTED 1980 1,359.6 365 487.8 95 36.0 1981 1,137.1 332 251.3 59 22.0 1982 964.9 150 194.4 33 20.1 1983 895.3 22.0 305.6 127 34.1 1984 1,092.3 235 409.6 68 37.5 1985 1,144.6 231 439.8 65 38.4 1986 946.9 250 138.8 60 14.6 1987* 2,254.6 995 363.1 94 16.1 1989 1,714.8 770 301.3 86 17.5 1990 1,769.1 820 318.6 102 18.0 1991 1,115.4 339 321.6 104 28.8 1992 1,246.9 565 203.5 46 16.3 1993 793.5 1,005 156.8 45 19.8 1994 833.2 312 121.0 42 14.5 1995 461.9 202 178.1 53 38.6 TOTAL 17,730.10 6,791 4,191.1 1,079 23.6 23.6% of the land developed between 1980 and June 30, 1995 has been converted from agriculturally significant land. *Reporting period of 18 months was used to change the Planning Commission's Annual Report from a calendar year to a fiscal year. 7 Metropolitan Planning Organization During FY 1995 the County Commissioners sat as the governing body for the Hagerstown Urbanized .Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, with Staff being provided by the City and the County. During this period, the Long Range Transportation Plan for the MPO has been under development for both the urbanized and non -urbanized areas of the County. A draft for the non -urbanized area was submitted for review. This draft along with the plan for the urbanized area will be synthesized to create the new Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Staff spent a great deal of time working with the consultant to develop traffic zones for transportation modeling purposes. Projections of residential growth and employment were completed and assigned to the traffic zones by the Staff. These projections will become the bases for future land use development forecasts through the year 2020. During FY 95 public input was solicited at 5 meetings held in West Virginia and Maryland prior to the start of development of the Long Range Transportation Plan. In addition, public comments were solicited at two meetings on an existing condition report compiled by the Consultant. It is anticipated that both the urbanized area plan and the new transportation element will be completed in FY 95. During this time the Staff also worked with the City of Hagerstown, Maryland DOT, District 9 in West Virginia, and West Virginia DOT on reorganization of the MPO. E Town Planner Assistance Program The Assistance Program is nearing its fourth year of service and assistance to municipal governments in Washington County., The Town of Boonsboro continues to be active in the program and has found the program to be a viable option to employing a full-time staff person. The Town Planner organizes the monthly agenda, analyzes and coordinates the review of development proposals and assists in long term or comprehensive planning goals of the Town. In FY 1995, the Boonsboro Planning Commission completed a comprehensive rewrite of the Zoning Ordinance. The two year plus project is scheduled for public information meetings and public hearings in early FY 1995. The ordinance has not been significantly amended since it was adopted in 1975. The Commission anticipates minor amendments in the future as a result of the Comprehensive Plan Update (mandated by the Planning Act of 1992) which is currently being worked on by staff. The most significant development approved by the Commission during the fiscal year was a 24 unit expansion for alzheimers patients at the Reeder's Memorial Home. Development continued at the Crestview subdivision as infrastructure for Phases 2 and 3 was completed with staff time devoted to administrative oversight of inspection services and construction bonding. The Crestview subdivision with 82 approved lots represents the first major subdivision to occur since the mid - 19801s. The Town Planner also assisted the Utilities Commission on water and wastewater planning issues. The Town Planner continues to provide assistance to the Mayor and Council and Town Manager on various projects. �i The Town of Smithsburg also participated in the Town Planner Assistance Program for the first time in FY 1995. The focus of the Smithsburg Planning Commission's efforts this year has been the updating of the Comprehensive Plan. The staff's responsibilities were the development of a request for proposal for the Update, participation in the consultant selection process, and Project Co- manager with oversight duties on the drafting of the new Plan. The Town Planner at the direction of the Smithsburg Mayor & Council developed a fee schedule for various land development activities. The fee schedule is scheduled for public hearing in -the early part of FY 1996. WSJ Forest Conservation Program Washington County continues to implement the local version of Maryland's Forest Conservation law. Through the inventory of existing forest on development sites and the calculation of minimum forest cover based on existing forest and proposed development, the law is designed to slow or stop the loss of valuable forest land in the State of Maryland. The County's FY 93-94 annual report to the Maryland legislature indicated a small net gain in forest cover as a result of the law. That gain was at a very high cost. The payment of "in lieu of" fees, a frequently used alternative to planting new forest, resulted in a substantial pool of funds for reforestation. The fund is currently channeled to Antietam National Battlefield and the recreation of the West Woods. To date, the National Park Service has used $8,184.14 from the reforestation fund to reforest the first 4 acres of the West Woods, a cost of $2,046.04 per acre. In this case, spending fee in lieu of funds equivalent to 1.88 acres produced 4 acres of new forest. It must be noted that the labor was volunteered. In the past fiscal year Washington County processed 237 subdivision and site plan applications covering 4310.61 acres of land. 205 or 86% of those applications were exempt from the requirements of the Forest Conservation Ordinance (FCO). An additional 23 exemptions were granted for timber harvest activities which are not considered development activities. The chart below indicates the number and type of exemptions granted in the past fiscal year. 11 A. < 40,000 SQUARE FOOT PARCEL 8 B. SIMPLIFIED PLAT 59 C. APPLICATION BEFORE EFFECTIVE DATE 10 D.

REPLATS 56 TOTAL EXEMPTIONS 228 32 plans remain that must comply with the Forest Conservation Ordinance in some other manner. There are several choices such as no clearing or clearing to a predetermined "break even" point, both of which require no additional planting. New planting to reach a minimum level of forest cover (afforestation) and replanting to compensate for forest removed below a calculated minimum (reforestation) are also available choices. Payment of the fee in lieu of planting or placing existing forest on or off site under permanent easement are also options Payment of the fee in lieu of planting is chosen most often. In mid 194 Washington County adopted an amendment to the Forest Conservation Ordinance to create the Express Procedure which allows applicants, under certain conditions, to choose the payment in lieu of rather than pleading for approval by the Planning Commission. Of the 32 plans not exempt, 16 used the fee in lieu of planting choice. 14 of those were eligible to use the Express Procedure. The payments generated an additional $ 35,028.49 for the 12 Reforestation Fund which, at this time, is earmarked for additional reforestation of the West Woods at Antietam National Battlefield. The fee is payment for 350,284.90 square feet or 8.04 acres of forest that was not required to be planted on the development sites. 14 plans required no fees or planting because there was sufficient forest on the site to allow some clearing with no mitigation or no clearing was proposed or necessary. The final method of compliance is new planting, either to provide a predetermined minimum or to replace existing forest removed during development. Three development proposals used afforestation to satisfy FCO requirements. A total of 8.78 acres of new forest will result on the sites of these development proposals. All methods of compliance generate a pian review fee. There is no fee when a plan is exempt. The Planning Department collected $ 4,095.00 in Forest Conservation Plan review fees during the past fiscal year. 13 Water and Sewerage Plan The Planning Department did not receive any requests for individual amendments to the Washington County Water and Sewerage Plan during FY 1995. The State mandated update of the Plan that was completed by the Planning Department and adopted by the County Commissioners in FY 1994 was approved by the Maryland Department of the Environment in January 1995. The next update of the Plan will be due in 1997. 14 Highway Interchange Study During FY 95 the Board of Commissioners took action on Group II of the Highway Interchange Comprehensive Rezoning Project. Group II included the I-81 and Mason-Dixon Road (Stateline) Interchange, I-81 and Showalter Road Interchange, and the 1-81 and Maugansville Avenue Interchange. It is anticipated that the comprehensive rezonings for the remaining three interchange groups will be completed during FY 95. 15 Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance The Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO) which became effective on December 1, 1992, was assessed by the Planning Commission for need and recommended for continuance. During FY 1995 a series of amendments to the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance were approved. In essence these amendments provided for: a. clarification of the standards to be used for the construction of new public roads; b. identification of the County policy to be used for determining adequacy of existing County roads; c. extension of the APFO to cover State maintained roads; and d. utilization of the School Districts capacity rating of a school instead of the IAC rating to determine adequacy. These amendments were primarily associated with the road adequacy provisions of the APFO and as a whole were very significant in clarifying regulatory intent as well as filing the void associated with the extension of the APFO to State roads. It is anticipated that amendments in FY 1996 will be oriented toward the school adequacy provisions. 16 Park Planning Park Planning for FY 1995 encompassed a variety of projects and activities. Forest sampling was done at the Washington County Agricultural Center site, and a detailed Forest Stand Delineation report prepared to assist the development plan process. Forest sampling was also done at the Pinesburg Ballfields site and an industrial park development site. A concept plan was developed for a new 90 acre soccer/little league complex on land north of Hagerstown that would be leased from a local company. Plan revisions were coordinated and presented to the Parks Board based on comments from the Board, soccer league representatives and the Engineering Department. Assistance was provided to the Parks Department by obtaining park sign setback variances from the Board of Appeals and permits and exemptions from the Permits office and State Highway Administration. Significant effort was directed to development of background information and draft language for a Sensitive Areas Element addition to the County Comprehensive Plan. As mandated by the 1992 Maryland Planning Act, the Element requires protection from the adverse effects of development for streams and their buffers, 100 - year floodplains, endangered species habitats and steep slopes. State agencies were contacted to determine availability of specific sensitive area data layers to aid in plan review. 17 Solid Waste and Recycling Planning Updating of the Solid Waste Management Plan and the Recycling Plan was begun. For the first time, both plans will be updated at the same time, and combined into one document. Benefits will include a consistent review and update schedule, a more integrated planning tool and a streamlined preparation and public review and comment process. Public information meetings were held in Clear Spring, Smithsburg, Boonsboro and Hagerstown to encourage comments and input, and a mail survey was sent to EPA registered hazardous waste generators in the County, to help determine the approximate amount of hazardous wastes generated in the County. Following review of comments received, drafting of the new Solid Waste and Recycling Plan was begun. It is anticipated that the Plan will be completed and adopted by February or March of 1996. Historic District Commission The Commission continued to exercise its assigned duties from the Zoning Ordinance by reviewing several building permits in the Historic Preservation overlay zone. Three out of the four applications were for minor modifications and of small consequence. However, the Commission conducted an intensive review, leading to denial, of one application to encase in brick a frame and clapboard National Register listed property. The decision was not appealed. Three tax credit applications were received and approved during the past fiscal year. All three are located within the City of Hagerstown. $ 6,227.12 worth of property tax credits were granted to projects which represented over $75,000.00 worth of restoration. The total credit granted since the program began is now close to $40,000.00. Over several years the Commission has loaned staff time to the volunteer efforts to prevent demolition of Antietam Station, a turn of the century train station located on the outskirts of Sharpsburg. This phase of the project was finally completed with receipt of a check for $8,506.00 as reimbursement from a Maryland Historical Trust Preservation grant. The funds produced a Reuse Feasibility Study and connected the structure to the public sewer system. Staff was also on loan to a citizen group interested in establishing a new museum. This effort was completed with the incorporation of the Heritage Museums Association as a non-profit organization. 19 The Commission reviewed several large development proposals for their effects on adjacent historic sites and structures. It continued its review and comment on demolition permits and is encouraging disassembly and reuse of materials rather than demolition and disposal. The Funkstown Historic Resource Inventory, the Commission's FY 94-95 CLG project was begun during this past fiscal year. The Commission also received notice that its FY 95-96 CLG project, a Rural Community Survey would not be approved due to a lack of State funds. 20 Development Activity Development proposals were reviewed by the Planning Commission in both concept and final form. The Commission reviewed and approved 113 residential, commercial, industrial or institutional subdivision plats involving 203 lots representing 199 units on 463.4 acres. In addition, the Commission approved 19 site plans and held 14 preliminary consultations. Some of the conceptual forms have not resulted in a firm design while others have proceeded through final approval. There was only one subdivision of significance ( final approval of twenty or more lots or units) granted during FY 95 and it was Potomac Manor, Section G, Phase 2 which contained 36 lots. Site plans representing significant private investment within the County were approved for: JRA Executive Hanger at the County Airport, Burger King along Sharpshurg Pike, Bowman/Trendlines in the Intra -State Industrial. Park, Allegheny Dental along Virginia Avenue, ICC along Old Forge Road, Blue Seal Feeds along Hopewell Road, BFI along MD 63 and Magic Tunnel Car Wash off of Eastern Blvd. Site plans were also approved for public projects including the new Agricultural Center on Sharpsburg Pike, an Amphitheater at HJC and an addition to Old Forge Elementary School. 21 Rezoning Cases and Ordinance Amendments Between July 1, 1994 and June 30, 1995, the Planning Commission acted on 10 applications. Joint hearings with the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners were held regularly on a quarterly cycle or special hearings were held as necessary to provide for efficiency in the hearing process. The Commission rendered recommendations on 3 Zoning Ordinance text amendments and 7 map amendments including comprehensive map amendments for Group II of the Highway Interchange Study. In addition, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a text amendment to the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance.
