Individuals requiring special accommodations are requested to contact the Washington County Planning Department at 240- 313-2430 to make arrangements no later than ten (10) days prior to the meeting. Notice is given that the agenda may be amended at any time up to and including the meeting. MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY September 1, 2021 Due to severe weather-related conditions, the Washington County Historic District Commission held its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, September 1, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. virtually using Zoom software. No physical meeting took place. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL The Chairman called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Commission members present were: Tom Clemens, Ann Aldrich, Vernell Doyle (joined the meeting at 8:00 p.m.), Edie Wallace, Michael Lushbaugh, Greg Smith, Lloyd Yavener, Kourtney Lowery and Ex-officio County Commissioner Jeff Cline. Staff members present were: Washington County Department of Planning & Zoning: Meghan Jenkins, GIS Coordinator and Debra Eckard, Administrative Assistant. MINUTES Motion and Vote: The minutes of the July 7, 2021 meeting were approved by acclimation. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Clemens announced that Linda Irvin-Craig, Ralph Young and he attended a meeting of the Board of County Commissioners on August 17th to discuss the Demolition Policy changes. He noted that currently there is a $50.00 charge for a demolition permit and if a structure is demolished without a permit, the County can seek a $100 penalty in court. It was decided that the HDC, the Historical Advisory Committee and the County Commissioners would hold a workshop at a future date to further discuss proposed changes. Discussion and Comments: Todd Hershey of the County Treasurer’s Office reached out to staff with regard to mailing information, such as the tax credits, to citizens Mr. Yavener suggested that the proposal for the fine should include language for an inflation adjustment. This would create flexibility in the future. There was a brief discussion regarding demolition by neglect. The County currently does not have such a policy and this is something that should be considered in the future. Demolition by neglect is being addressed in the Comprehensive Plan update and staff will be gathering input from members when we get to the recommendation stage of the process. Mr. Clemens noted that Commissioner Terry Baker has been hospitalized and expressed concern for his health. Staff Report Ms. Jenkins gave a brief update on the following: • A staff report was distributed prior to the meeting. Ms. Aldrich asked if a column could be added for the HDC’s recommendation/action. Design Guidelines Ms. Jenkins stated that a draft was sent to members prior to the meeting. These guidelines will be made available to the public after adoption. Ms. Jenkins gave a brief outline of the process to adopt these guidelines. There would be a public hearing with the HDC which would need to be advertised two times. Staff is anticipating a public hearing by the end of this year or the beginning of next year. We began a brief review of the document. • We need a photograph of an Italianate structure (members did not have any specific structures in mind, but suggested South Prospect Street) • Ranch style homes – Robinwood area or Fountain Head area • Art deco structures – center of Hagerstown, just off the square • Gas stations – need style and characteristics of gas stations (in rural areas, gas stations were called cube and canopy) – it was suggested to look in Weverton and on Lappans Road close to the railroad tracks • Accessory structures – want to find a new photo for a detached summer kitchen – suggested North Main Street in Keedysville • Spring House – suggested Townsend Road (Mullendore Farm) • Churches – southern end of Brownsville • Add a section on Schoolhouses (restored Beaver Creek school, Ft. Frederick) There was a brief discussion regarding the documentation as an alternative for a demolition permit. This needs to have further clarification. Members believe there needs to be a standard for final documentation. Ms. Jenkins clarified that the alternative documentation would be at the level of an architectural historian; this should be to MIHP standards. It would not simply be the documents submitted with the demolition permit. Ms. Lowery asked that in the section entitled “A Short History”, first paragraph, last sentence, replace the word “Ukranian” with Bohemian. Ms. Aldrich asked if information about the African Americans should be included. It was suggested we include information such as slave quarters. ELECTION OF OFFICERS Ms. Aldrich made a motion to nominate Mr. Smith as the Chairman and Mr. Yavener as the Vice-Chairman. The motion was seconded by Ms. Wallace and unanimously approved. UPCOMING MEETING Our next meeting is scheduled for October 6, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. ADJOURNMENT Mr. Smith as the new Chairman adjourned the meeting at 8:50 p.m. Respectfully submitted, _______________________________________ Jill L.

The pole barn is proposed on a separate parcel. Even though you own both of those parcels, you cannot place the building over the property line on the parcel that is separate from the house as the properties are currently platted. You can place the building on the adjacent parcel if you do one of the following: Zoning Merger: Nothing needs to be done on your end except you tell us that you would like to complete the merger. This allows you to place the building over the lines and it combines them, but you will more than likely not be able to reseparate them. You will have to provide and updated plot plan showing the building over the property lines. Re -plat: You can contact a surveyor and they can complete a replat to vacate the property line that separates the two parcels. You will more than likely not be able to reseparate them. I have attached the map showing the line that would either need to be vacated or you would need to place your pole barn on the line for the zoning merger. Please let me know if you have any questions.

To: Herb Holloway Subject: RE- 1137 Weverton Road Building Permit Good morning, Thank you for the additional information, let us first discuss the issue with the property plot plan. It is very unfortunate there seems to be questions about the property lines with the Tax Assessment Office, however since I do not have a registered plat of the property I am not able to verify your property lines, i will need a professional survey of the property to be able to verify the permit for zoning. Once you obtain this you can add the location of the detached garage to survey and submit it for your building permit_ I would also advised to have the surveyor include the well and septic on the survey as the Health Dept. will require that information for their review of the building permit. P will not able enter the application until the survey is received. Hopefully you will also be able to utilize the survey to clarify the property with the Tax Assessment Office. As for the question about dwelling and or detached garage with finished space, not having the laundry hook-ups or closets will not change the consideration of the building type. The structure has the elements of a dwelling per the zoning code and building code standard, however if we change the room designation from bedroom to office the structure would no longer be considered a dwelling it would be a detached garage with finished space. The removal of the wall between the bedroom/office and the living room would not be required if the room is designated as an office. By having the structure considered as a detached garage with finished space you will not have to pay excise tax on the structure nor would there be a future issue of having to get approval from the Board of Zoning Appeals for two dwellings on the property. I hope this helps clarify what is needed to continue with this project, please let me know what additional questions you may have.

This message originated from an External Source. Please use proper judgment and caution when opening attachments, clicking links, or responding to this email. Any claims of being a County official or employee should be disregarded_ Good morning, M5- Rathvon - Thank you for your response and the questions you raised. There is already a driveway apron on the property. The GIS outline you have is not accurate- The southern property line actually runs along the white fence you can see between us and the next tract (near the bright blue building) - A5 far a5 the tract shape, the GIS tract outline includes two separate tracts. They have historically been owned together, but our deed when we bought the property in 2018 specifically states that we do not own the second tract, which makes up the back portion of the GIS image. We are still paying the property taxes on the whole property, however, since the tax assessor would not accept our deed as proof that we don't own the second tract. So I guess we'll just proceed as if we do own it, and try to get the question cleared up and possibly the tract included in our deed at some point in the future. We will draw up a new site plan including both tracts, matching the tract shape as shown on your GIS outline. As I mentioned in the phone message I left you on Monday {5/3), we want to modify our plans for the garage enough that it will not be considered a dwelling, so that there are no issues when we apply for the renovation permit for the existing stone house in the near future. The plan for the garage as drawn has no laundry hook-ups and no closets, two elements that I would think are essential for a dwelling. In our revised plans we were thinking we would remove the wall separating off the rbedroom", and just label that whole area as an office/workshop, since that will be its true purpose. I don't know if it matters since the finished space will not be a dwelling, but the electric window unit will provide both A/C and heat. There will be no other heat source. Thank you for your time. Any additional guidance you can provide to facilitate this process would be much appreciated.

See below the GIS map outline of the property- I will need a valid scaled plot plan showing me all the property lines and where the new dwelling will be located. It also appears that you do not have a driveway apron on your property- If that is the case an entrance permit ($25) will also be required which includes a 1, 500 cash bond or surety bond. I will also need a copy of the deck plans as it is shown on the elevation of the building plans but no additional information it provided.

It is very unfortunate there seems to be questions about the property lines with the Tax Assessment Office, however since I do not have a registered plat of the property I am not able to verify your property lines. I will need a professional survey of the property to be able to verify the permit for zoning. Once you obtain this you can add the location of the detached garage to survey and submit it for your building permit_ I would also advised to have the surveyor include the well and septic on the survey as the Health Dept. will require that information for their review of the building permit. I will not able enter the application until the survey is received. Hopefully you will also be able to utilize the survey to clarify the property with the Tax Assessment Office. As for the question about dwelling and or detached garage with finished space, not having the laundry hook-ups or closets will not change the consideration of the building type. The structure has the elements of a dwelling per the zoning code and building code standard, however if we change the room designation from bedroom to office the structure would no longer be considered a dwelling it would be a detached garage with finished space. The removal of the wall between the bedroom/office and the living room would not be required if the room is designated as an office. By having the structure considered as a detached garage with finished space you will not have to pay excise tax on the structure nor would there be a future issue of having to get approval from the Board of Zoning Appeals for two dwellings an the property. l hope this helps clarify what is needed to continue with this project, please let me know what additional questions you may have Thank you Katie Rathvon 2orting Coordinator, Division of Plan Review and Permitting 8B West Baltimore Street, Hagerstown, MD, 21740 P: (240) 313-24B4 krathvon wa5hco-md_net From: Herb Holloway <herbholloway53gmail_cortn> Sent: Wednesday, May 5, 2021 10-01 AM To: Rathvon, Kathryn B. <krathyo.n washco-rnd.net> Subject: Re 1137 Weverton Road Building Permit WARNING!!

Any claims of being a County official or employee should be disregarded, Ms. Rathvon - Thank you for your response and the questions you raised. There is already a driveway apron on the property, The GIS outline you have is not accurate. The southern property line actua Ity runs along the white fence you can see between us and the next tract (near the bright blue building), As far as the tract shape, the GIS tract outline includes two sepa rate tracts_ They have historically been owned together, but our deed when we bought the property in 2018 specifically states that we do not own the second tract, which makes up the back portion of the GIS image_ We are still paying the property taxes on the whole property, however, since the tax assessor would not accept our deed a5 proof that we don't own the second tract, So I guess we'll just proceed as if we do own it, and try to get the question cleared up and possibly the tract included in our deed at same point in the future_ We will draw up a new site plan including both tracts, matching the tract shape as shown on your IS outline_ As I mentioned in the phone message I left you on Monday (5/3j, we want to modify our plans for the garage enough that it will not be considered a dwelling, so that there are no issues when we apply for the renovation permit for the existing stone house in the near future. The plan for the garage as drawn has no laundry hook-ups and no closets, two elements that t would think are essential for a dwelling. In our revised plans we were thinking we would remove the wall separating off the "bedroom", and just label that whole area as an office/workshop, since that will be its true purpose. I don't know jilt matters since the finished space will not be a dwelling, but the electric window unit will provide both A/C and heat. There will be no other heat source, Thank you far your time. Any additional guidance you can provide to facilitate this process would be much appreciated_ Sincerely, Herb Holloway On Tue, Apr Z7, 2021 at 10'51 AM Rathvon, Kathryn 8_ <krathvon@washco-md.net> wrote: Good morning, While reviewing your building permit it appears the plot plan you have provided 1S a different lot shape than what I have- See below the GIS map outline of the property.
