INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Invocation was delivered by Commissioner Bowers, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag by the full assemblage. ROAD NAME CHANGE Motion made by Commissioner Roulette, seconded by Shank, to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation to change the name of Basswood Drive, in St. James Village, Sect. D., subdivision, to Olivewood Drive, due to the fact that there is a road with a similar name currently in the County roads system. Unanimously approved.

INTRODUCTION OF NEW EMPLOYEE Paul Prodonovich, Director of Permits & Inspections, introduced Norm Long, who was recently hired as Inspector in the Permits & Inspections Department. REZONING CASES RZ-419 - RZ-426 RZ-419 - FINDINGS OF FACT Applicant: John R. Oliver Company, Inc., Property Owner: John R. Oliver Company, Inc., Albert Warren and Corrine Colton, to rezone 52 acres +/-, located on the east side of Maryland Route 60, approximately one mile north of the Longmeadow Shopping Center, from A- Agricultural to RZ-Residential Suburban. Motion made by Commissioner Roulette, seconded by Irvin, to accept the following definition of Neighborhood for Rezoning Case RZ-419 as proposed by the County Attorney: "The neighborhood of the subject parcel is bounded on the west by Marsh Pike, on the north by Longmeadow Road at its intersection with the Leitersburg Pike, on the east by the property zoned "Industrial -Mineral", and on the south by those properties at the intersection of the Marsh Pike and Leitersburg Pike". Unanimously approved. Motion made by Commissioner Roulette, seconded by Downey, to accept the following Findings of Fact for Rezoning Case RZ-419 in accordance with Section 27.3, Zoning Ordinance of Washington County: (a) The report and recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The report and recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission have been read and considered by the Board of County Commissioners in making the decision in this case. It is noted that the Washington County Planning Commission on July 10, 1989 voted to recommend the rezoning of the property owned by John R. Oliver Company, Inc., Albert Warren and Corrine Colton, from "A" - Agricultural to "RS" - Residential Suburban. (b) Population change in the area of the proposed change. Population has increased substantially in Election Districts 18, 27 and 9 in which the subject property is located or close by. It is expected that the population in all three election districts, 18, 27 and 9, will grow steadily between 1980 and 1990, and thereafter. (c) Availability of public facilities in the area. Water and sewer will be available to the subject property within the next five to ten years. Fire protection is provided by the Longmeadow Volunteer Fire Department located in Paramount, Maryland. The closest bus service is at Longmeadow Shopping Center approximately one mile South of the subject property. The schools servicing this property would include Paramount Elementary School, Northern Middle School, and North Hagerstown High School. It is expected that the enrollments at the various schools will increase steadily over the next few years. OCTOBER 17, 1989 MINUTES, CONT'D. (d) Present and future transportation patterns in the area. The Leitersburg Pike, Maryland Route #60, which fronts on this subject property is an intermediate arterial highway according to Washington County Highway Plan and the average daily traffic count for 1987 shows 8,150 vehicles per day at this location. The Washington County Engineer has stated that he has no objections to the proposed rezoning. It is expected that the traffic on Maryland Route #60 will increase steadily as the northeastern portion of Washington County continues to develop steadily in the near future. (e) Compatibility with existing and proposed development of the area including indication of neighboring site identified by the Washington County Historic Sites Survey and subsequent revisions or updates. The subject property is zoned currently "Agricultural" and an adjacent property is also zoned "Agricultural". Further south of the site is a large expansive IM - Industrial Mineral property also currently being farmed. Nearby the site is a large expansive primarily undeveloped land zoned "RS" which is under development at this time. There are no historic sites located on the subject property although there are four historic sites located within a .5 miles radius of the proposed rezoning. In 1981 the piece of property directly adjacent to the subject property was rezoned from "Agricultural" to "Business Local" (RZ-231). It is believed that the proposed rezoning would be compatible with existing and proposed development in the area. (f) The relationship of the proposed change to the Adopted Plan For the County, Development Analysis Plan Map and Policies. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan indicates areas to be targeted for growth inside the urban growth area as is this parcel, and it encourages higher densities to make the most of investments and infrastructure. (g) That there was a substantial change in the character of the neighborhood where the property is located. Yes. (h) That there was a mistake in the existing zoning classification. No. (i) Whether there was a convincing demonstration that the proposed rezoning would be appropriate and logical for the subject property. Yes. RZ-419 Motion made by Commissioner Roulette, seconded by Downey, to APPROVE Rezoning Case RZ-419 based on the testimony given at the public hearing, the Findings of Fact adopted by the County Commissioners and the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Unanimously approved. REZONING CASE RZ-420 - FINDINGS OF FACT Applicant: Charles Milburn, Property Owner: U.S. Silica Company, to rezone two parcels of land, located on the east side of Seavolt Road and bounded on the east by the Western Maryland Railroad, 4 miles southwest of Hancock, zoned "IM" - Industrial Mineral to "A" - Agricultural (Parcel 7) and "C" - Conservation (Parcel 48). Acreage - Parcel 7 is 344.839 acres and Parcel 48 -137.044 acres. Motion made by Commissioner Roulette, seconded by Shank to approve the following definition of neighborhood as part of the Findings of Fact for RZ-420: "The neighborhood of the above parcel of land is four miles southwest of the incorporated town of Hancock, and the parcels lie on the east side of Seavolt Road with approximately 2,300 feet of frontage. The properties are bounded by the east side by almost 8,000 feet of frontage of the abandoned Western Maryland Railroad right-of-way which also lies adjacent to the C & O Canal and the Potomac River. The neighborhood would consist of those properties approximately one-half mile on either side of the subject properties. The property is located in the very rural area which is mostly wooded in nature." Unanimously approved. Motion made by Commissioner Roulette, seconded by Irvin, to adopt the following Findings of Fact for RZ-420 in accordance with Section 27.3, Zoning Ordinance of Washington County, in the above case: (a) The report and recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The report and recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission have been read and considered by the Board of County Commissioners in making the decision in this case. It is noted that the Washington County Planning Commission recommended approval of the requested rezoning. OCTOBER 17, 1989 MINUTES, CONT'D. (b) Population change in the area of the proposed change. The subject site is located in Election District 5 and population growth in this district has been minimal and is projected to be small in the future, meaning, no more than 2-3% increase in population between 1990 and 1995. (c) Availability of public facilities in the area. No public facilities are existing or planned in the future for this subject site which is classified by the Washington County Water and Sewage Plant as W-7 and S- 7. There are no existing public facilities in the area and use of public water and sewer facilities would require extension from the municipality of Hancock which is over four miles to the northeast. Emergency fire and rescue services are provided by volunteer forces in Hancock, Maryland. (d) Present and future transportation patterns in the area. No traffic counts are available for the roads going by the subject site. Seavolt Road and others in the area are classified as local roads by the Washington County Highway Plan. The closest road of a higher classification is Maryland Route 144 which is a major collector. Most of the roads in this western portion of Washington County feed into Maryland Route 144. The Washington County Engineer has testified that Seavolt Road is 13-15 feet wide and is considered to be totally inadequate for any additional traffic. Orchard Road from Maryland Route 144 to Seavolt Road is also a local road and is in reasonably good condition having recently been overlayed. (e) Compatibility with existing and proposed development of the area including indication of neighboring site identified by the Washington County Historic Sites Survey and subsequent revisions or updates. This area of Washington County has been inactive as far as development is concerned and the change in zoning is not seen as a conflict with any existing uses in the area since all adjacent properties are zoned agricultural or conservation. Development after a rezoning would permit uses on this property which are already permitted on adjacent properties. There are no identified historic sites on the property or in the immediate vicinity. (f) The relationship of the proposed change to the Adopted Plan for the County, Development Analysis Plan Map and Policies. No plans have been submitted regarding planned activity on this site so that one cannot judge the compatibility of any planned activity on this site with the Comprehensive Plan. Since there are apparently no mining plans for the property, it would not be inconsistent to remove the Industrial -Mineral zone. The Comprehensive Plan does not address the Agricultural and Conservation zones specifically; it addresses particular categories of use. A rezoning to the Agricultural and Conservation zones in this area of the County, which is considered to be rural and agricultural by the Comprehensive Plan, can be considered consistent. (g) That there has been a substantial change in the character of the neighborhood where the property is located. No. (h) That there was a mistake in the existing zoning classification. Yes. (i) Whether there has been a convincing demonstration that the proposed rezoning would be appropriate and logical for the subject property. Yes. (j) Neighborhood. The neighborhood of the above parcel of land is four miles southwest of the incorporated town of Hancock, and the parcels lie on the east side of Seavolt Road with approximately 2,300 feet of frontage. The properties are bounded by the east side by almost 8,000 feet of frontage of the abandoned Western Maryland Railroad right-of-way which also lies adjacent to the C & O Canal and the Potomac River. The neighborhood would consist of those properties approximately one-half mile on either side of the subject properties. The property is located in the very rural area which is mostly wooded in nature.

Unanimously approved. TEXT AMENDMENT RZ-425 Motion made by Commissioner Shank, seconded by Roulette, to APPROVE Text Amendment RZ-425, as proposed, to amend Ordinance Section 5.1(k) to add the requirement of a site plan for principal permitted uses in this Section.

The City Council proposed that the EDC staff be increased by one position, Promotion Coordinator, which would be tailored to coordinate the promotion of downtown Hagerstown and to serve in a staff support role for the DAD Board of Directors. The DAD Board would continue to exist under the Ordinance of the City of Hagerstown and would continue to raise taxes for promotion activities which would be collected by the City of Hagerstown.
