He  stated that the developers request to the City of Hagerstown to change the zoning from R-2 to R-1 will have little impact and asked the Commissioners to continue to deny their approval. Allan Powell, a resident of Brightwood Acres, indicated that there is little difference between the R-1 and R-2 City zoning and that the density AUGUST 31, 1999 PAGE TWO resulting from the multi-family units which are planned would not be compatible with the existing neighborhood. Chuck Buhl expressed his concerns about the compatibility of the planned unit development (PUD) planned for the proposed development on Mt. Aetna Road. Don Allensworth argued that the change from R-1 to R-2 zoning is a minor change of 1,000 square feet. William Wantz, local attorney, stated that he represented a number of property owners in the Mt. Aetna Road area at the annexation hearing before the City of Hagerstown and the debate regarding the zoning classification. Mr. Wantz stated that the distinction between R-1 and R-2 zoning with a PUD overlay is a distinction without a difference. Eric Bender expressed concerns about the impact the proposed development would have on the roads in the area as well as on the class sizes at the local elementary school.

Dick Gruber of Triad Properties stated that the development represents an upgrade to the community. Earl Huyett indicated that he was originally opposed to the development but, after looking at the site plan and model, has changed his mind and now feels it is a wonderful concept. Kent Oliver, the attorney representing Triad, referred to the memorandum he submitted to the City and stated that he is confident in their legal position on the issue of the compatibility of the zoning. Mr. Oliver stated that he believes this development is an appropriate use for the property  under the Countys Comprehensive Plan. ANNEXATION & REZONING - TRIAD The Commissioners discussed the request made by Triad that they reconsider  their decision to deny express approval of the proposed annexation and rezoning of 36.69 acres on Mt. Aetna Road. Richard Douglas, County Attorney, noted that the developers originally proposed that the property be annexed into the City of Hagerstown with an underlying R-2 zoning with a PUD. That proposal has now been amended to an R-1 zoning with a PUD. Mr. Douglas quoted Maryland Code, Article 23A, Section 9(c) regarding annexation. He explained that the law provides that no municipality annexing land may, for a period of five years following the annexation, place the annexed land in a zoning classification which is substantially different as set forth in the current master plan without the express approval of the Board of County Commissioners. He stated the current County zoning for the property is Agricultural. The Commissioners discussed their positions on the matter. Commissioner Snook stated that Commissioner Swartz has asked that his opposition to the request be included in the record. Motion made by Commissioner Wivell, seconded by Iseminger, to deny the  express approval of the Board provided for in Md. Code, Article 23A, Section 9(c), to the annexation and rezoning to R-1 proposed by Triad Properties in the City of Hagerstown (Case No. ZM-99-02) for the following  reasons: 1) the proposed zoning classification is substantially different than that set forth in the County Comprehensive Plan as specified in the Zoning Ordinance, under which it is now an Agricultural zone; 2) incompatibility with the surrounding area; 3) creation of additional traffic through an already congested area, including the intersection at Mt. Aetna Road and Robinwood Drive; 4) the opposition by residents of the neighborhood surrounding the property to be annexed; and 5) the creation of a multi- family structure in an area surrounded by single-family dwellings. Motion  carried with Commissioners Wivell, Iseminger and Snook voting AYE and  Commissioner Schnebly ABSTAINING.
