Historic Preservation Officer 1 Maryland Historical Trust' La 100 Community Place i ; 0 2;011 Crownsville MD 21032-2023 y1,tr",P�i ��Sre I t.;ouN'N Dear Mr. Little: p( ,,, U't i'a l L i'AH I M N'1 Introduction and Project Description This letter serves to inform the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) of the Maryland State Highway Administration's (SHA) proposed Project No. WA351A21, which is an intersection geometries improvement project on US 40 Alt., Poffenberger Road, and Garis Shop Road in Washington County. SHA seeks to establish the project's Area of Potential Effects (APE) and to provide information about the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility of historic standing structures within the APE. SHA's assessment of archeological potential is also provided. The project involves widening US 40 Alt. to include -a bypass lane in the west bound direction, adding acceleration and deceleration lanes in the eastbound direction, realigning the - intersection of Poffenberger Road with US 40, and adding a roundabout to Poffenberger Road. US 40 Alt. would be ground and resurfaced through the project limits. Right-of-way acquisition will be required for this project. Project plans are included as Attachment 1. Funding Federal funds are anticipated for this project.

Street 'Baltimore, Maryland 21202 • Phone:.410-545-0300 , www.nrnrylandroads.com Mr. J. Rodney Little US "040 Alt. at Poffenberger Road Page Two Area of Potential Effects In determining the Area of Potential Effects (APE) for this project, SHA considered direct and indirect impacts to historic properties. The Area of Potential Effects (APE) is defined as the Limits of Disturbance and the adjacent parcels, as indicated on the attached SHA quadrangle map for Funkstown (Attachment 2). The archeology study area consists of the worst case limits of disturbance. Identification Methods and Results Potentially significant architectural and archeological resources were both researched as part of the historic investigation instigated by the proposed intersection geometric improvements project. Architecture: SHA Architectural Historian Jennifer Goold assessed the potential of the APE using the SHA-GIS Cultural Resources Database, the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties (MIHP), State of Maryland Real Property Records, and U.S. Census data, semi-final plans, and various secondary and internet resources. A site visit was completed on November 4, 2010. In order to consider the area or areas within which the project may directly or indirectly cause impacts to historic properties, the APE was defined to encompass the worst case limits of disturbance (LOD) for the project and adjacent parcels. The APE is located on the Old National Pike, in the vicinity of Funkstown. Funkstown was founded in 1767 as Jerusalem, Maryland. Water power from Antietam Creek, which surrounded Jerusalem on three sides, fueled the town's early success as an industrial center, which included a flour mill and powder mill, a paper mill, a sawmill, a woolen mill, a wagon yard, and several inns and taverns. The town's early 19th century commercial success was cemented when the National Pike was constructed through Jerusalem in 1823, making the town a popular stop for travelers. This boom period was truncated, however, because the B & O Railroad opened a mile west of Jerusalm in 1832. The town was chartered as.Funkstown in 1840, for its founding family. The APE is located at the intersection of US 40 Alt., Gaiis Shop Road, and Poffenberger Road, one mile south of Funkstown. Historically, Poffenberger Road led to Claggett's Mill. Established as a flouring mill in the 18th century, Claggett's Mill was one of the largest and most successful milling operations in the area, as evidenced by the remaining house at the site, Valentia (WA -I-231). The first property developed in the project area was 19202. Poffenberger Road, the George and Margaret Garis House, which was built in ca. 1870. Through the remainder of the 19th century, George Garis ran a blacksmith operation at the site, which would have been ideally located to capture travelers along the National Pike, those doing business at Claggett's Mill, as well as those living in Funkstown. By 1900, Garis had retired from sniithing and was farming. The project area largely attained its current appearance in the early 20th,century Mr. J. Rodney Little US 040 Alt. at Poffenberger Road Page Three when farmers in the area began to make small subdivisions of their agricultural properties for additional house lots along the road. Two four-square houses, a bungalow, and a Dutch Colonial house were all constructed in the area in the first decades of the 20°i century. In the mid 20th century, one additional house was built at the intersection of Poffenberger Road and Garis Shop Road and a light-industrial/commercial building was constructed at the rear of the Garis House property, continuing the tradition of commerce at this site. There is one previously recorded standing structure in the APE. The Dutch Colonial style house at 10224 Old National Pike has been previously evaluated for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and was determined not eligible for the NRI-IP on June 29, 1994. SHA conducted an intensive survey of the APE and identified seven (7) previously unidentified resources that are fifty years old or older. These resources consist of two late 19"i century houses, two early 20`h century four-square houses, one early 20`h century bungalow, one early 20°i century utilitarian structure, and one mid 20th century house. None of these resources are recommended eligible for the NRHP. 19202 Poffenberger Road, the George and Margaret Garis House, is a ca. 1870, brick, center hall I -House with Italianate detailing. Alterations consist of a ca. 1900 front porch, a ca. 1920 rear addition, and interior alterations for late 20th century rental usage. The building is suffering from deferred maintenance and is in fair condition. George Garis, a German-born blacksmith, built this house to serve as his dwelling and it was a part of an industrial and agricultural buuilding complex at this site. The property is associated with the important historic context of German settlement in Western Maryland and industrial development coupled with agriculture and the National Road. The house is also a nicely detailed example of its architectural type. However, the house falls short of exemplifying this type due to 20th century alterations. 19202 Poffenberger Road is recommended as not eligible for listing in the NRI-IP, because the property does not retain sufficient integrity to have an important association with its historic context (Criterion A). The house is an altered example of a relatively common type and does not retain sufficient material integrity to embody the distinctive characteristics of its type, period, and.method of.construction (Criterion C). The house does not have an important association with a significant person (Criterion B) and was not evaluated under Criterion D. SHA prepared a Determination of Eligibility (DOE) forms for the Garis House, which is provided in Attachment 3. Mr. J. Rodney Little US 040 Alt, at Poffenberger Road Page Four The remaining 6 residential properties include 19207 Poffenberger Road,.10110 Old National Pike, 10210 Old National Pike, 10221 Old National Pike, 10227 Old National Pike, and 10152 Garis Shop Road, all in the Funkstown vicinity. These properties are all altered or common house types. They are not associated with historic events (Criterion A) or significant persons (Criterion B), and they are not significant for their design or construction (Criterion C). The above properties do not have historical or architectural significance and are recommended not eligible for the NRHP as documented in the Short Forms for Ineligible Properties included in Attachment 3. SHA has determined that there are no NRHP eligible or listed architectural properties within the APE for this project. - Archeology: SHA Archeologist Carol A. Ebright assessed the archeological potential of the project through consultation of the SHA-GIS Cultural Resources Database, aerial photographs, historic and environmental maps, archeological site forms, semi-final plans and various secondary and internet resources. A field visit was conducted on November 22, 2010. The project is located in the Great Valley in a region characterized by karst topography, and deep, well -drained, fertile soils. Antietam Creek lies about 0.8 km to the west. The project vicinity includes some of the oldest primitive roads in the region, which formed a major Euroamerican migration route beginning in the 1720s and 1730s (Wallace 2001). Ancestral US 40 Alt. probably dates to at least the mid -18th century and was likely in place by the 1760's when both Hagerstown and Funkstown were founded. Griffith's 1794 map shows a road alignment through the project vicinity that was later incorporated into a turnpike, chartered in 1797, to connect Baltimore, Frederick, and Hagerstown (Scharf 1882). This was later part of the National Pike, improved in 1823. Poffenberger Road probably dates to the founding of a mill at the Antietam crossing, at least by 1794 (Griffith). Ancestral US 40.Alt., Poffenberger Road, and Garis Shop Road were all present by 1859 (Taggart). i • Both the 1808 (Varle) and 1859 (Taggart) maps suggest that the proposed realignment duplicates the original alignment of Poffenberger Road during the 1St half of the 19th century, with ancestral Garis Shop Road extending all the way to ancestral US 40 Alternate. By 1877 (Lake, Griffing and Stevenson), the intersection configuration was close to the current alignment. Residences, and wagon/blacksmith shops, are shownin the project vicinity only after the mid 19th century (Macomb 1863; Lake, Griffing and Stevensonl877; and USGS 1912, 1941). A field visit. conducted on Nov. 22, 2010 showed that the APE contains agricultural land, wooded tracts, residential yard areas, and small-scale rural industry.. A berm observed.on the. east side of US 40 Alt. could be a remnant of an earlier alignment of the Boonsboro Pike. Although the mid -I 9th century realignment of Poffenberger Road has disturbed portions of the Mr. J. Rodney Little US 040 Alt, at Poffenberger Road Page Five project area, subsequent use of the former road location for residential and rural industry purposes has superimposedits own potential archeological deposits on the landscape. A stone foundation is present adjacent to the Garis house, and other intact historic archeological deposits. are likely to be present in. the limits of disturbance. The study area contains no recorded archeological sites and has not been previously surveyed. Potential for intact prehistoric archeological sites is highest in the agricultural fields and on the relatively level terrain along Garis Shop Road. Prehistoric sites, especially of earlier periods, are sometimes associated with relict karst features (Curry and Stewart 1986). Smaller campsites and special purpose sites may be present on these uplands with deep, well -drained soils.' Historic archeological potential is high due to the age of the roadways in the APE, dating to at least the mid -18th century. Archeological deposits are also likely to be associated with the present and former mid -to -late 19th century structures. Phase I archeological survey will be required for this project. The results of these investigations will be forwarded to MHT when they are available. Review Request Please examine the attached maps, DOE forms, and Eligibility/Status Table (Attachment 4).

The George and Margaret Garis House is recommended as not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). In ca. 1870, Garis built the house as his home in part of an industrial, agricultural, and residential complex that was associated with the significant historical context of 19th century German settlement in Western Maryland as well as industrial development coupled with agriculture and the National Road during the period. However, the original blacksmith shop and other 19th century outbuildings. are all now gone and the house alone does not retain sufficient integrity reveal its historical association with its historic context. Thus the house does not meet Criterion A for listing in the NRHP. The house does not have an important association with a significant person and does not meet Criterion B for listing in the NRHP. The George and Margaret Garis House is a good example of a ca, 1870, center hall I -house with a rear ell, which is a relatively common type. However, due to 20th c, alterations, it does not retain sufficient material integrity to embody the distinctive characteristics of its type, period, or method of construction, nor does it possess high artistic value or represent the work of a master and it does not meet Criterion C for.listing in the NRHP, MARYLAND HISTORICAL TRUST REVIEW Eligibility recommended Eligibility not recommended Criteria: A B C D Considerations: A B C D E F G I MHT Comments; Reviewer, Office of Preservation Services Date Reviewer, National Register Program Date NR-FILIGIBILITY REVIEW FORM WA -I-886.

The house is set close to the Old National Pike (US 40 ALT) at the comer of Poffenberger Road. The house retains its original hall and parlor form. A 1 -story shed -roofed porch with a concrete deck and wood posts extends across the front ?f the house. A recent, 2 -story, shed -roofed addition extends across the back of the house. A recent, 1 -story, screened porch projects from the south elevation, The house is sheathed in replacement siding and has asphalt roofing. It retains original two - over -two wood windows, a four -panel wood front door, and wood porch posts. Two early 20th century, wood -framed, shed -roofed outbuildings and two recent outbuildings are located behind the house. 19207 Poffenberger Road is located on a parcel that was historically a part of the George Garis property (see WA -I-886). It is not clear precisely when this house was built or for whom it was constructed, although its form and features suggest that it dates from the fourth quarter of the 19th century. In 1867, George F. Garis purchased the property where 19202, 19207 Poffenberger Road, and 10210 Old National Pike are located (then almost 8 acres) from John H. Claggett, owner of Claggett's Mill. By 1870, the Census shows Garris (sic) in residence in the area, presumably next door at 19202 Poffenberger Road. Garris died in 1919 and the executor of his estate sold the property for $6000 to Clinton L. Martz, By 1930, the Clinton Martz and Roy Martz families were living in two houses at this location, Clinton Martz died in 1946 and his executors sold the then 5.1 -acre portion of the property including the Garis Tenant house to his son Roy W. Martz and Roy's wife Carrie for $800. In 1970, widow Carrie Martz sold the 2.38 -acre remainder of the property to Luther J. and Betty J. Timmons, The Timmons divorced and Luther Timmons became the sold owner in 1978. The current owners, David and Diana Gilroy, purchased the property from Timmons in 1984.

The house has a traditional four-square form with a one-story porch addition extending from its south elevation. A hipped roof porch wends across the primary facade and a hipped roof dormer pierces the front roof slope. The first story of the house is sheathed in brick, the second story is sheathed in wood clapboard siding, and the house has an asphalt shingle roof. The house displays a conventional four-square fenestration pattern with balanced asymmetry on the primary facade and window openings that relate to the interior room uses on secondary facades. It retains original three -over -one and four -over -one wood windows and wood doors. A garage is located south of the house, which the current owner uses as a blacksmith's shop. A 1 -story, wood -frame secondary structure that is set on CMU piers with an end gable roof and a row of two -over -two windows is located behind the house. In 1927, Raymond and Anna Myrtle Grossnickle purchased this property from Benjamin and Sarah Sowers, By 1930, Raymond (aged 36) - a mechanic at an auto factory- lived at 10110 Old National Pike with wife Myrtle (aged 32), son Eugene (aged 9), and daughter Corinne (aged 7). The Grossnickles owned the property until 1952 and the house has had three owners since that date.

The house has a traditional bungalow form. A 1 -story, shed -roofed, porch extends across the front facade and a front -gable dormer pierces the :front roof slope. A I -story addition and shed -roofed dormer extend across its rear elevation. The house displays a conventional 'bungalow fenestration pattern with balanced asymmetry on the primary facade and window openings that relate to the interior room uses on secondary facades. The house is in the middle of a DIY remodeling project and standard one -over -one replacement windows and picture windows have been installed in most window openings. Aluminum siding is partially installed over asbestos shingle siding and insulation and construction paper remains exposed in some areas. The house retains original wood doors and original molded concrete block and wood porch posts. 10221 Old National Pike is located on a parcel that was historically a part of the Frank Brewer farm, The Brewer's lived in Funkstown and farmed the neighboring property. In 1922, the Brewers sold this parcel to Charles and Orpha Ramsburg. In 1920, Charles Ramsburg (aged 38) - a railroad carpenter - lived in a rented house on Maryland Avenue in Hagerstown with his wife Orpha. By 1930, the Ramsburg's were living in this house and the census valued their property at $3000. Charles was working as cabinet maker in a mantle factory. Because he was a carpenter, it is very possible that the Ramsburgs built the house and that the house could be a kit house, such as a Sears house.

The house has a traditional four-square form with a one story -addition extending from its south elevation. A hipped roof hood covers the entry door and a hipped roof dormer pierces the front roof slope. The first story of the house and addition is sheathed in brick, the second story is sheathed in wood clapboard siding, and the house has an older asphalt shingle roof. The house displays a conventional four-square fenestration pattern with balanced asymmetry on the primary facade and window openings that relate to the interior room uses on secondary facades.

A turn of the 20th c. iron fence with stone posts and light post also remain on the property. 10210 Old National Pike is located on a parcel that was historically a part of the George Garis property (see WA -I-886). It is not clear precisely when this house was built or for whom it was constructed, although its form and features suggest that it dates from ca. 1930. In 1867, George F. Garis purchased the property where 19202, 19207 Poffenberger Road, and 10210 Old National Pike are located (then almost 8 acres) from John H. Clagget, owner of Clagget's Mill. Garris died in 1919 and the executor of his estate sold the property for $6000 to Clinton L.

It has a refined version of a vernacular, center -hall I - house form with a 2 -story rear ell. The Garis House is in fair condition, due to deferred maintenance and has early 20th century alterations, The house was once part of a house, blacksmith shop, and farm complex. Associated historic industrial and agricultural buildings are now gone and a mid- to late -20`h century industrial building is now located at the back of the property. Although the house is a good example of a relatively common type, it does not retain sufficient material integrity to embody the distinctive characteristics of its type, period, or method of construction, nor does it possess high artistic value or represent the work of a master. The George and Margaret Garis House is associated with the important historic context of 19`h century German settlement in Western Maryland and industrial development coupled with agriculture and the National Road during the period. Constructed in ca. 1870 on a subdivided parcel of Valentia (NR -listed), the Garis House was a component of a residential, industrial and agricultural complex. George Garis, a blacksmith, developed the property just south of Funkstown (NR -listed), and his shop was located on the Old National Pike, immediately adjacent at the intersection of Poffenberger Road and Garis Shop Road. However, the house alone, without the associated 19`h century industrial and agricultural buildings, does not retain sufficient integrity to link the property with its historical association with its historic context. •Maryland Historical Trust Marylandilnventory of Historic Properties Form Inventory No. WA -1-886 1.

Summary The George and Margaret Garis House, at 19202 Poffenberger Road, is a ca. 1870, 5 -bay x 1 -bay, brick, Italianate-style dwelling. It has a refined version of a vernacular, center -hall I -house form with a 2 -story rear ell. The Garis House is in fair condition, due to deferred maintenance and has early 20'h century alterations, The house was once part of a house, blacksmith shop, and farm complex. Associated historic industrial and agricultural buildings are now gone and a mid- to late -20'h century industrial building is now located at the back of the property. Architectural Description The George and Margaret Garis House, at 19202 Poffenberger Road, is a ca. 1870, 5 -bay x 1 -bay, brick, Italianate-style dwelling. It has a refined version of a vernacular, center -hall I -house form with a 2 -story rear ell. The Garis House features painted brick exterior walls, and a deep wood modillioned cornice with returns supported by scrolled brackets. The house retains it original fenestration pattern and openings have arched lintels and wood sills. It also retains original wood two -over -two and six -over -six windows and a paneled wood front door with transom, The shadows of shutters, now gone, appear alongside the window openings. The house's front porch was replaced in the early 20"century and features molded CMU pillars supporting Carinthian columns. Recent sheet metal sheathing covers the roof of the house while the porch has asphalt shingles. The primary facade of the Garis House faces east onto the Old National Pike. The five bay elevation is bilaterally symmetrical with the entry bay centered on the front facade. Window openings are elongated and the front facade has a finely tuned balance between brick wall and window openings. The north and south secondary elevations of the Garis I -house are one bay with the window opening towards the rear of the house. Two small window openings frame the interior chimney stacks at the attic story. A shed -roofed two-story rear ell extends from the north side of the rear elevation, The rear ell has porches at both levels, At the I" floor, the porch has been infilled with wood siding. At the 2"d floor, an exterior stair has been constructed to lead to the 2"d floor door, presumably so that this level of the house can act as a separate apartment. Openings on the ell have brick jack arches and six -over -six wood sash windows. An early 20'h century, I -story, 4 -bay x I -bay, wood -frame addition extends from the west end of the Garis House's rear ell. The addition appears to have provided two additional housing units for the property, The addition has wood German siding, wood six - over -six windows, and wood four light over three panel wood doors, The interior of the Garis House was not accessed for evaluation, Interior views of the house through the porch windows suggest that the interior of the house has been altered to serve as inexpensive rental units, but that much original fabric remains under superficial improvements. The Garis House is in fair condition, due to deferred maintenance. Paint is peeling, wood is rotting, and gutters have not been properly maintained, which has led to water damage. The house was once part of a house, blacksmith shop, and agricultural complex. Associated 19°i century structures are now gone. A small CMU industrial building is located at the west end of the Garis House property, which does not contribute to the significance of the property. This building has a complex form that implies that the structure was constructed in multiple phases. It is not currently known what the building was constructed to house. Its most recent use was a potato chip distribution business in the last quarter of the 20°i century. 8. ,SigtlifiCance), Inventory No. WA -1-886, Period Areas of Significance Check and justify below _ 1600-1699 X agriculture _ 1700-1799 _ archeology X 1800-1899 X architecture 1900-1999 _ art 2000- _ commerce _ communications _ community planning conservation _ economics — health/medicine _ performing arts education X Industry _ philosophy _ engineering _ invention _ politics/government _ entertainment/ — landscape architecture _ religion recreation• _ law _ science ethnic heritage _ literature _ social history exploration/ maritime history — transportation settlement _ military — other: _ Specific dates n/a Architect/Builder n/a Construction dates ca. 1870, ca, 1900, ca. 1920 Evaluation for: National Register Maryland Register not evaluated Prepare a one -paragraph summary statement of significance addressing applicable criteria, followed by a narrative discussion of the history of the resource and its context. (For compliance projects, complete evaluation on a DOE Form — see manual.) Summary Signifrcance The George and Margaret Garis House is associated with the important historic context of 19th century German settlement in Western Maryland and industrial development coupled with agriculture and the National Road during the period. Constructed in ca. 1870 on a subdivided parcel of Valentia (NR -listed), the Garis House was a component of a residential, industrial and agricultural complex. George Garis, a blacksmith, developed the property just south of Funkstown (NR -listed), and his shop was located on the Old National Pike, immediately adjacent at the intersection of Poffenberger Road and Garis Shop Road, However, the house alone, without the - associated 19th century industrial and agricultural buildings, does not retain sufficient integrity to link the property with its historical association with its historic context. Although the house is a good example of a relatively common type, it does not retain sufficient material integrity to embody the distinctive characteristics' of its type, period, or method of construction, nor does it possess high artistic value or represent the work of a master, Narrative History • George F. Garis purchased the property where 19202 Poffenberger Road is located (then almost 8 acres) from John H. Claggett, owner of Claggett's Mill, in 1867. The property is located along the Old National Pike, one mile south of Funkstown, Maryland, and at the road leading to Claggett's Mill, thus ideally located to capitalize on both a local market and to serve those travelling on the National Road. Funkstown was founded in 1767 as Jerusalem, Maryland. Water power from Antietam Creek, which surrounded Jerusalem on three sides, fueled the town's early success as an industrial center, which included a flour mill and powder mill, a paper mill, a sawmill, a woolen mill, a wagon yard, and several inns and taverns. The town's early 19th century commercial success was cemented when the National Pike was constructed through Jerusalem in 1823, making the town a popular stop for travelers. The stream of commerce along the 'roadway in the early days of the Turnpike was a wonder. The whole wheat crop of Washington County was milled into flour locally. Teams of 4 to 6 horses passed along the roadway carrying wagons loaded with barrels of flour, as well as corn, clover seed, rye, whiskey, and dried fruit, from Hagerstown to Baltimore. When the pike was opened to the west, these local wagons were supplemented by the line teams loaded with produce and dry goods going west. On the trip back, wagons could sell western products in Hagerstown and load up with flour for the remainder of the trip. Passenger coaches carrying as many as sixteen people travelling between Baltimore and the steamer landing in Wheeling joined the continual bustle that passed through Funkstown and filled the pockets local tavern and inn keepers, store keepers, and small-scale industrialists (Williams, 156-158). This boom period was truncated, however, because the B & O Railroad opened a mile west of Jeruselum in 1832. The town was Chartered as Funkstown in 1840, for its founding family. Funkstown was noted as an especially Germanic settlement within Washington County. Scharf notes that German traditions, including flower gardening, wine -making, easter-egg hunts, extravagant Christmas celebrations, and the telling of scary tales, like those from Grimm, were all popular in the town (J. Thomas Scharf, 1280- 1281). Maryland Historical Trust Maryland. Inventory of Inventory No. WA -I-886 Historic Properties Form Name Continuation Sheet Number..,.t. Page 1 The Garis House is located at the intersection of US 40 Alt., Garis Shop Road, and Poffenberger Road, one mile south of Funkstown. Historically, Poffenberger Road led to Claggett's Mill. Established as a flouring mill in the 18'century, Claggett's Mill was one of the largest and most successful milling operations in the area, as evidenced by the remaining house at the site, Valentia (WA -I-23 1). By 1870, the Census shows Garris (sic) in residence at this location, George Garris (aged 40) was a Bavarian -born blacksmith, The Garis' emigrated in 1857 and by 1870 they were already fairly prosperous with real estate holdings valued at over $16,000 and personal property valued at over $3500. At that date, he shared the house with wife Margaret (aged 37) — also German-born, and their 5 children, Adam (aged 11), Charles (aged 8), Elizabeth (aged 5), Catherine (aged 3), and Amelia (aged 1), all born in Maryland, By 1880, Adam was a student, Charles was also working as a blacksmith, and two additional children had joined the family, George (aged 8) and Ella (aged 3). The property's period of use a blacksmith shop / residential complex appears to be limited to the 19`" century, By 1900, only one child remained at home, Sarah (aged 22), and George, then 70 years old, had retired from blacksmithing and was. farming. By 1910, George was a widower and is a farm operator. Garris died in 1919 and the executor of his estate sold the property for $6000 to Clinton L. Martz, At the beginning of 1920, the Martz family was still living in rented quarters. Clinton L. Martz (aged 61), the son of a local farmer who. had previously worked as a tenant farmer, was working as a day laborer. He lived with his wife Maryella (aged 60), two daughters Tenna (aged 24), a laborer in a knitting mill, and Catherine (aged 16), and a granddaughter, Dora (aged 5). By 1930, they were living at 19202 Poffenberger Road. Martz was farming and Maryella, Tenna, then a stitch locker at an underwear mill, and Dora remained at the house. Martz died in 1946. Since 1946, the property has changed hands numerous times, The tradition of small scale industry/commerce at the site continued through the 20!",century— the mid 20'" century commercial structure at the back of the property was last operated as potato chip distribution center.

Hagerstown, MD Address 21742 Applicants Signature Denzil Cotera Subscribed a d sworn before me this /U day of 2011. My commission expires on /> ,?61V Notary Public Background and Purpose Security Quarry was opened as a limestone quarry in 1903 in the small area known then as Security, Maryland, and has operated continuously since that date, In 1908 a 1,000' barrel/day cement kiln was built to supply the flourishing Baltimore and Washington areas under the name The Maryland Portland Cement Company. The company was merged with the Berkeley Limestone Company to become Security Cement and Lime. Through the years the site has been owned by a number of companies and in 1985 it was bought by St. Lawrence Cement, a group company of Holcim Ltd. headquartered in Switzerland. In 2007 Holcim (US) purchased the minority shares of the shareholders of St. Lawrence Cement and in 2008 the plant was transferred to Holcim (US), a group company of Holcim, Ltd. The cement plant has been a partner in the community for over 100 years and in 2005 achieved the "Made in Washington County" award by the Chamber of Commerce for its contributions to the community over the years. Today the Hagerstown Plant has a capacity in excess of 600,000 tons of cement annually and employs 89 people with an annual payroll and benefits cost in excess of $8,000,000. Good paying jobs with excellent benefits for employees, retirees and their families have been a hallmark of the plant. The plant supports local organizations, businesses, contractors, and suppliers in its everyday activities and contributes to local events and organizations that enhance the quality of life in Washington County. The manufacturing process for cement begins by mining limestone in the Quarry. The limestone is crushed, processed in the kiln at 3,000 degrees, creating a product called Clinker. Clinker is cooled, pulverized with gypsum and converted into the finished product, cement. Cement is stored in silos and as needed, transported by tanker trucks to customers. Cement is a cornerstone of our society and infrastructure, a very versatile product that is all around us. Add sand, gravel and water to it and you have concrete. Holcim's product is used in roadways, patios and walkways, foundations and blocks, precast panels, airports, parking garages, schools, homes and skyscrapers. In a multi -year effort, Holcim has worked with Washington County on a relocation of Old Forge Road that will connect with the proposed Eastern Boulevard Extension. Since 2007 along term vision has been developed by Washington County, the City of Hagerstown, and Holcim (US) and was formalized in an agreement finalized in 2009. The concept will: • Allow for the extension of Eastern Boulevard on property donated by Holcim, • Allow Holcim uninterrupted access to its properties to the north of the quarry, • Create an improved route into the Hagerstown City limits by residents to the west with the relocation of Old Forge Road, and • Provide the county with a park on land leased for 99 years. The property for which the rezoning request is submitted, Tax Map 38, parcel 16, and the adjoining 13 acres, is located immediately north of the current permitted Security Quarry operations. It is zoned agricultural and the request is to rezone most of Parcel 16 and the adjoining 13 acres with an industrial mineral overlay zone. This will allow new limestone reserves for future operations. This will offset to some extent reserves given up by the donation of property for the Park. This is a natural progression for the quarry to move northward to take advantage of the limestone reserves available. This also moves it away from current residential areas located along Leitersburg Pike. This rezoning fits into the Washington County Land Use Plan. It moves the current industrial mineral away from the more intense uses associated with the Urban Growth Area and Hagerstown City limits and will utilize in the future reserves that are farther away from the UGA and from existing rural residential development. Holcim values corporate social responsibility and communication is a key component of that responsibility. Since 2005 the Holcim Hagerstown plant has worked with a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) a committee comprised of members representing housing developments surrounding the plant and various activities in the community. The CAC meets regularly with Holcim for discussions regarding the plant's activities. As with other important topics members have been well informed and supportive of this project to relocate the Old Forge Road and the rezoning effort. Thus it can be seen that, through a collective effort by the Company, the County and City Governments and the neighboring community this rezoning supports the County Comprehensive plan and provides compatibility with existing land uses. Our presentation sets forth how the property to be rezoned will be utilized by the Company in the overall operations. The Narrative Statement (Exhibit C) and Concept plan (Exhibit F) illustrate how the property will be used and reclaimed after active quarrying is completed. These and the other exhibits will demonstrate that the planned use can and will be conducted in compliance with all of the requirements of the Washington County zoning ordinance and within the requirements of the Maryland Department of the Environment as determined and permitted by the State of Maryland. I Exhibit C NARRATIVE STATEMENT Holcim (US) Inc. Security Quarry ARTICLE 15 "IM" INDUSTRIAL MINERAL COMPLIANCE The following is a list of the Article 15 IM, Industrial Mineral District, requirements as set forth in the Washington County Zoning Ordinance and a brief summary of our compliance with these provisions. These responses should be considered along with other maps and documentation included with this application. Section 15.1: Principal Permitted Uses and Accessory Uses Mining is a permitted use in IM district. Applicant proposes to construct the protective berms referenced in Section 15.5 (a) and to mine the subject property. No other activities, other than those associated with the above, are planned for the subject property. Section 15.2 Special Exceptions "Any other use the Board ofAppeals finds is functionally similar to any permitted use or special exception listed in the Article. The Board ofAppeals shall not grant any special exception that is inconsistent with the purpose set for the district. " No special exceptions are requested in this application. Further, the extractive minerals from this property can and will be performed without the need for any variances from Article 15. Section 15.3 Establishing a New IM District "The Industrial Mineral District is afloating zone established for the rural areas of the county. A new "IM" District may not be established within the adopted urban growth area, town growth areas, or rural villages." The new IM district requested by this application is within a rural policy area, is not within any adopted urban growth area or any rural village. Applicant submits that the existing quarry and future expansion are compatible with the Washington County Comprehensive Plan. The existing comprehensive plan recognizes that mineral resources exist at this location and the Industrial Mining is and has for some time been permitted at the current Security quarry. Further the plan identifies the IM area of the existing quarry. While it is hard to tell due to the scale of the map, Comprehensive Plan Map 31 seems to take in the area of this property as land planned for Industrial Mining. The subject property is in an area where there is no residential development existing or planned. The subject property is compatible with the Mineral Resources chapter of the Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 6, page 93) and satisfies the policies of a) encouraging the expansion 'of existing quarries, and b) protecting existing quarries from encroachment by area land uses that would be incompatible with future expansion of existing quarries. "In its deliberation on an application for an "IM" District, the Planning Commission shall consider the purpose of the "IM" District, the applicable policies of the Comprehensive Plan, the compatibility of the proposed district with the adjacent lands, and the effect of the mineral extractive operations on public roadways. The evaluation of these criteria shall result in findings of fact as part of a recommendation on the application to the Board of County Commissioners. At the time of application for rezoning, the applicant shall submit a concept plan that includes: (a) A vicinity map at 1 "=2000' showing the location of the proposed "IM" District in relation to its surroundings." A vicinity map is included as Exhibit D. (b) "The boundary, acreage and current zoning of the tract. The boundaries, acreage and current zoning are shown. (c) "Minimum topographic information sa fficient to determine surface drainage patterns and principal drainage areas. " Topographic information is shown in Exhibit E. (d) "Adjacent land uses and zoning and the location of adjacent structures on adjacent lots within 1,000 feet of the property line. " Adjacent land uses are shown. (e) "The location of adjacent geologic formations and other environmentally significant features." Adjacent geologic formations are shown. Applicant is not aware of other environmentally significant features. 2 ('B "The proposed routes to be used for hauling mineral products from the site on public roads to their first intersection with a highway which is classified as major collector or above in the Washington County Highway Plan. " There will be no access from the subject property to any public road. Existing access to Eastern Boulevard is by way of Security Road. Further, since this application is intended to provide future reserves and in no way correlates to production, the hauling routes and truck volumes will be the same as they have been for prior years. (g) "An estimate of average daily truck traffic,from the site on roads identified in paragraph (B and the average gross weight of each truck" There is no access from the subject property to any public road. Current levels are an average of 75 trucks per day from the current cement plant with gross weight of less than eighty'thousand pounds (typically twenty five tons). (h) "County roads identified in accordance with paragraph (B shall be adequate in pavement thickness, roadway width and alignment to accommodate the truck traffic from the extractive operation. The proposed routes, once identified and approved by the commission, may not be changed without approval of the commission subject to the same standards as the original review. As part of the site plan approval process, the County may require a performance bond from the applicant where the resulting•vehicular traffic may result in damage to County roads." No change in haul routes will occur. A Bond is already in place and is attached as Exhibit L. (i) "The applicant, unless otherwise determined by an existing study, shall provide evidence as to what effect the proposed use will have .on the groundwater supply and quality of all adjoining properties including determination of a zone of dewatering influence. Applicant provides expert opinion on the determination of a zone of dewatering and effect on water supplies on adjoining property. A hydroaeologic investigation report which supports this opinion, is included with this application as Exhibit I. (j) The applicant shall provide a contingency plan for well replacement whenever a public water supply surface intake, public water supply well or spring, or private water supply well or spring is within the zone of dewatering influence as designated by the State." I F. A water supply replacement plan is submitted as Exhibit K. (k) "The applicant shall provide a plan reclamation of the site once mining has ceased. Reclamation plans, shall be designed to provide suitable and appropriate reuse related uses, which exist or are planned,for the surrounding area. The reclamation plan shall consider providing for the use of any water filled pits as a public water supply. Other proposed land uses for the reclaimed site shall be detailed." The reclamation plan is attached as Exhibit F and G. Since the subject property will be at some point a part of the current quarry the reclamation plan for the existing quarry will be modified to include the subject property. "The Board of County Commissioners may, upon receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission, restore the land to its previous classification upon written request from the landowner and upon successful completion of the required reclamation without another public hearing." Section 15.4: Initiation or Expansion of Operations in Existing IM Districts — Not Applicable to this rezoning. See letter July 3, 2008 from Michael Thompson, I. Washington County Planning Commission Exhibit O. § 15.4 This section does not apply to this rezoning because it is not an application for initiation or expansion of operations within an existing IM District. This rezoning is to overlay on 'A' zoned land an IM classification. It is submitted for the purpose of rezoning land that contains mineral reserves that will I. extend the life of the quarry operations. As such, no Application to the State is pending nor contemplated at his time. The rezoning is also timely in that it fits within the development plans of the Company and the County set forth in their Agreement (Exhibit M) The County Planning Director agrees with the position that §15.4 does not apply. (See Exhibit O) At this time the application for the subject property is for zoning change only. All requirements for an active quarry, both local and state, will be met when property is included in the permit to surface mine. 'Application for the initiation or expansion of operations within an existing IMDistrict shall be accompanied by a complete copy of the application, including all supporting documentation submitted to the State Resources Administration except for those elements identified as proprietary and confidential by State regulations. The application shall include plans for reclamation showing the projected timing and sequence of excavation, the proposed method of site reclamation the resultant landform, and the vegetative cover, The site plan submitted with the application shall indicate methods of compliance with t 4 the standards of Sections 4.11 and 15.5. The application shall also conform to the requirements of Section 15.3('(g) and (h). Section 15.5 Performance Standards for Site Plan Review (a) A person engaging in mineral extraction activities shall locate and conduct those activities on the site in a way that minimizes visual, auditory and any other sensory effects. on surrounding property owners. " Property will have a berm plus fence around active quarry. This will comply with County law and site plan requirements, Maryland Department of the Environment permit, and the terms of the agreement with the County and City. (b) "Extractive operations shall be restricted to the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Saturday." Applicant currently operates quarry operations Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Saturday operations are infrequent, but possible. "Processing operations and non -extractive related activities (i.e., administrative, maintenance, repair), may be carried out on the premises beyond the allowed hours of operation, providing the sound level does not exceed the maximum acceptable limit allowed by the State ofMaryland. " "On Sundays and during atypical business hours, extractive operations will be allowed if expressly permitted by the Zoning Administrator because of an operating emergency or because or local or state need," (c) "Any building or structure housing power driven or power producing machinery or equipment shall be located at least four hundred (400) feet from any lot in an "R"district or any lot occupied by a dwelling, school, church, or institution,for human care not located on the same lot as the said use. " This provision will be complied with and in most places will be exceeded. I (d) "No excavation shall take place, nor shall the slope of the natural land surface be altered as a result of such excavation, nor shall the storage of materials take place nearer than thirtyfeet to any property line or road right of way line. Security fencing and screen plantings may be located within this area. The setback requirement shall not apply where the adjoining property is zoned IM. " 5 This provision will be complied with and in most places will be exceeded. (e) "Extraction operations shall be confined to areas of minimum of one hundred (100), feet from all adjoining property lines in any "A "EC", "P""RB" or "B" District or any public road right of way, or a minimum of two hundred (200) feet from any then existing principal building on an adjoining property." This provision will be complied with and in most places will be exceeded. (f) "Screen planting shall be required where mineral extraction and related activities are visible from adjacent residential, commercial or industrial structures or any public road. Plant materials used in the screen planting shall be of such species, size, and number as to minimize objectionable views, dust and noise. Whenever topography, existing vegetation, or other existing natural barrier makes screen planting either unnecessary or impractical, the Planning Commission may waive this requirement. Any permanent berms shall be designed in such a way as to have a vegetative cover. " Applicant is in compliance with this requirement with current quarry and will continue into the subject property. Current quarry operates with a buffer zone with screen plantings. (g) "Entrance or haul roads providing access to the site for transportation of mineral products or heavy equipment shall be maintained as to minimize dust." Entrance is from applicant's property and not a public road. Dust management plans at the quarry include watering roads to minimize dust generation. (h) "Mineral extraction areas shall be surrounded by a fence no less than eight (8) feet in heig.0 designed to restrict unauthorized entry into the site. Current quarry is:fenced and subject property will have fence installed after permitting. (i) "Vibration control Machines or blasting operations that cause vibration shall be permitted, but in no case may vibrations produce a peak particle velocity of more I 1 I I L I I I I S than two (2) inches per second measured at the nearest principal building on an adjacent lot. The mine operator may be required to maintain a record of each of the three components ofground movement (vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal) for each shot or blasting event, These records shall be made available to the local governing body upon request." Applicant subcontracts blasting operations and employs a third party to monitor all blasts, by seismograph. Blasts are monitored by seismograph for ground vibration as well as overpressure levels and a report generated for each blast to ensure compliance with local and state regulation. Blast reports are submitted to the Maryland Department of the Environment. Copy of all blast reports are submitted to the state. Example report and report of blasting levels for 2009-2010 can be 'viewed in Exhibit J. Blasting is conducted by a contractor. The contractor supplies certified and licensed blasting personnel to supervise and conduct blasting. Explosive material is maintained and stored by the blasting contractor. Plant is licensed by the U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Bureau and is routinely inspected for security. (j) "Storage gfMaterials Material storage shall comply with Section 4.12 (g) Section 4.12 (g) states: No materials or wastes shall be deposited upon a lot in such,form or manner that they may be transferred off the lot by natural causes or forces, nor shall any substance which can contaminate a stream or watercourse or otherwise render such stream or watercourse undesirable as a source of water supply or recreation, or which will destroy aquatic life, be allowed to enter any stream or watercourse. All materials or wastes which may cause fumes or dust or which may be edible or otherwise attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored only if enclosed in containers which are adequate to eliminate such hazards. " Only materials used or produced in the mining operation will be stored on this property. Adequate provisions will be. taken to keep any such materials from contaminating adjacent streams or watercourse. Section 15.6 Prohibited Uses in "IM" Zone "Kilns used or modified for the purpose of incinerating hazardous waste or controlled hazardous substances or recycling hazardous waste for fuel are prohibited. Facilities or structures, for the purpose of receiving, storing, or processing hazardous waste or controlled hazardous substances for the purpose of incineration in kilns on site are prohibited." No hazardous waste or materials as defined by federal regulations will be incinerated in the kiln or stored on site for the purpose of incineration.

The buildings are set on fairly level ground just east of Marsh Run. The house and barn each face west. The dwelling is a two story, three bay frame structure sheathed with German siding and resting on fieldstone foundations. A two story•ell extends to the rear. The windows and door appear to be arranged symmetrically in the front elevation. They are trimmed with grooved architraves which surround two over two pane sash windows. The centrally located entrance has a transom above the door. It is sheltered by a one story porch with a low hipped roof. The porch is supported by chamfered square posts with dec- orative scroll cut brackets and pendants. The roof is covered with corrugated sheet metal and extends beyond the end walls. Small brick chimneys with corbels at their tops are located inside each gable end. Just west of the house is a stone springhouse with a deep overhang at its north end. Openings into the springhouse have narrow mitered frames with a bead at the inside edge. A brick chimney is located inside the south end wall. Some lattice sheathing remains along the porch or overhang. North of the house is a large frame bank barn with decorative metal ventilator cupolas. Modern concrete block dairy barns and silos have been added. The barn appears to be in good condition while the other buildings are deteriorated. The farm contains 151.79 acres.

Although undated, the frame house and barn are typical of turn of the century period farm buildings. The stone springhouse which stands near the dwelling would appear to be older than the other structures. According to the Washington County Land Records, this farm was purchased by Anna C. Eckstine in 1917 from Frances Loose Smith, et al. (151/109). The farm, containing 151.79 acres was bought for $17,455.85 and was a portion of the estate of Joseph B. Loose who acquired several hundred acres of land in this area in 1854. The property was in the Eckstine family until 1943. It was purchased by the present owner in 1951.

The buildings are reached by a lane which is entered from Antietam Drive; a short distance north of its junction with Old Forge Road. The building complex on the Loose Farm consists of a number of early stone structures which appear to be roughly contemporary with each other and to have been built for a variety of reasons. Among the buildings are a large dwelling house, a two-story stone structure said to have been an early Mennonite Church, severalsmaller two-story stone buildings of as yet undetermined use, although probably dwellings and the faintly discernable ruins of a mill. Numerous small outbuildings are also present. The main building in the complex is the dwelling which is a two-story, five -bay structure constructed of coursed fieldstone at the front elevation and rubble stones at the side and rear walls. Decorative work associated with the wall construction consists of flat stone arches over openings of the front or southwest elevation and the northwest wall. Windows appear to have been spaced evenly in the front and the northwest elevations. They are somewhat more randomly placed in the other walls. At the front elevation, windows contain six -over -six pane double -hung sashes held within wide frames secured with pegs. Windows on the northwest wall have eight -over -eight light sashes, some within narrower frames. Six -over - six sashes are present in the rear elevation. First story windows are flanked with three -panel shutters while louvered shutters are present at th second story level. The main entrance is located in the center bay of the front elevation. T entrance is very simple in appearance and is .tapped with a narrowltransom. At the rear elevation, entrances are present in the second bay from the north corner of the house at the first and second storr..lewels. Both doors have very wide wooden frames with pegged joining. A late Victorian period one-story porch extends the length of the 'front elevation. A two-story porch included under the main roof span is present at the rear elevation. The roof is covered with sheet metal and tezini.nates at'the ends'• with %a 'plain barge. The eaves bpxingjs finished with a band of simple molding. Brick chimneys with several courses of corbeling at.their tops are -present inside each gable end. The house is in deteriorated condition. A series oe outbuildings extend fromrthe east corner of the rear wall. =-. The second building in the complex appears to be the oldest of the struc- tures still standing. It is a two-story, three -bay building'bf courses local fieldstones. The northeast and northwest walls are concealed by deep overhangs which are enclosed by lattice work and siding. Windows are placed, at random with most having segmentally arches heads. Wide wooden framing shows pegged joining. Along the southeast wall of this structure is a de- pression in the ground which appears to have been a mill race. Inside is a wheel and what seems to be pumping mechanism.

Urban Ploming ❑,Other,(Speciy) STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The area of significance of the Loose or Bachtel Farm is its architecture It is also important for its contribution to early commerce in Washington County as evidenced in the milling operation. In addition, the property derives significance from its association with the early Mennonite church r history in the county and with the Bachtel family who owned the property o during most of its history. Architecturally, the many buildings in the complex provide an outstanding ti representation of the area's early vernacular architecture in stone. The u structures reflect a variety of uses, from a large and rather sophisticate) dwelling through a series of smaller, simpler structures. Most of the buildings appear to be roughly contemporary and to date from the late 18th to early 19th centuries. Although deteriorated, they provide an excellent group of examples for historical and architectural study. According to a local historian, the oldest building in the complex, a log structure with z the date 1745 inscribed above the door was torn down in 1911. Among those _ buildings still standing, it would appear that the oldest is the structure designated as building #2. The arched window heads are clearly associated u,l with 18th,century buildings in the area. The main dwelling with its for - W mal facade in the five -bay, center door plan is an example of a Georgian form' farm .dwelling. Such structures of the center door plan and symmetri- cal appearing front elevations comprise a major architectural group in the area. There is no substantiated date from the milling operation on the Loose Farm. However, a grist mill is noted at this location on an 1859 map of Washington County. � Milling was a major occnpatibn in Washington Cot'lnty's early'economic history. Well over a dozen grist mills are shown on Dennis Griffith!s,1794.map of Washington County' on'the"Antietam Creek`albne:" According to Herbert C. Bell's History of Leitersburg District, the pre- curser of Miller's Mennonite Church located near Leiter'Ieburg'(A-I-190) was a building erected by Martin Bachtel on his farm near Fiddlersburg. There were several men by the name of Martin Bachtel from various genera- tions but Bell does not specify what Martin built the church. History of the•Mennonite•church reveals that Samuel Bachtel was a minister in 1770. The church on the Bachtel farm was in use until 1835 when a stone meeting house was, built op Jacob Miller's farm. The property is known as "White Oak Forrest." In Martin Bachtel's will (0/405), dated April 6, 1841, reference is made to White Oak Forest which was described as containing by patent 375 acres. Apparently the land was earlier part of a tract granted to Isaac Simmons who came to Washington (CONTINUED ON ATTACHED SHEET) wA -1-114 ff,,. jt�h.

Small brick chimneys extend from `aside each gable end. The roof is covered with sheet metal and wooden shingles. Several historians believe that this building was used as a Mennonite church during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The third building in the Loose Farm complex is a two=story, two -bay stone dwelling with its main entrance in its south gable end. It is constructed of coursed local fieldstone at the west and part of the south elevation with remaining walls showing rubble fieldstone. What appears to be a seam in the. masonry passes diagonally between the attic level windows of the south elevation. The windows and doors have wide wooden frames which are secured with pegs and hold six -over -six pane double -hung sashes. A brick chimney rises from inside the north gable and a second flue is present near the center of the east wall. The roof is covered with sheet metal. The fourth building in the complex is a small one -and -a -half story stone structure covered with a thick mass of brush and vines. The structure has few windows with its main opening being an entrance in its west gable end. The door is quite heavy with a horizontal band of iron extending across its center. Ruins of the fifth building in the complex show a date stone inscribed A * D 1822. The stone is located above a second story entrance in the west gable end. Its doors snd windows have moderately wide wooden framing with pegged joining. Just west of the house are faintly perceptible ruins of a mill. Two mill stones are lying in a pasture near the site of the structure. • A depression, presumably an old roadbed runs through the complex and crosses the Marsh Run east of the buildings and may link with an old road which appears to have extended along the west bank of the Antietam Creek. The buildings are in deteriorated condition or are in ruins. According to local historians, the barn associated with this complex of buildings was destroyed by fire early in this century. The property contains 257.2 acres. #8 -- SIGNIFICANCE (Continued) County in 1738. Isaac Simmons' daughter married Martin Bachtel thus causing the land to pass into the Bechtel family. White Oak Forrest remained in the Bachtel family until 1854 when it passed into the hands of Joseph B. Loose who was married to Samuel Bechtel's daughter. The Loose family held White Oak Forest until 1950 when it was sold to North American Cement Company.
