SUMMARY OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION AND HISTORIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE JOINT WORKSHOP December 1, 2021 The Washington County Historic District Commission and the Historic Advisory Committee held a joint
workshop meeting on Wednesday, December 1, 2021 at 5:30 p.m. at the Washington County
Administrative Complex, 100 W. Washington Street, Room 2001, Hagerstown, Maryland.

Historic District Commission members present were: Greg Smith, Chairman, Lloyd Yavener, Vice
Chairman, Ann Aldrich, Vernell Doyle, Michael Lushbaugh, and Kourtney Lowery. Historic Advisory
Committee members present were: Linda Irvin-Craig and Ralph Young, Co-Chairpersons, and Tom
Clemens. Staff members present were: Washington County Department of Planning & Zoning: Jill Baker,
Director; Meghan Jenkins, GIS Coordinator and HDC Staff member; and Debra Eckard, Administrative
Assistant.
Demolition Permit Review Procedures Discussion
Ms. Baker gave a brief history of the draft demolition permit review policy. This policy was first presented
by the HAC to the Board of County Commissioners in 2019. At that time, the BOCC requested input from
the Washington County Planning Commission. Unfortunately, the Planning Commission did not provide
any feedback to the proposed policy changes. Subsequently it was presented again to the BOCC earlier
this year at which time the County Commissioners suggested that they should hold a workshop meeting
with the HAC and HDC. It was decided that a joint workshop with the HDC and HAC should be held prior
to meeting with the Commissioners in order to provide a united proposal.
Two topics of discussion that need to be focused on are the delayed review period and premature
demolition and fines. Ms. Aldrich expressed her opinion that the permitting process needs to be reversed
so that a demolition permit cannot be issued before development plans are approved. She asked if there
is a way to reverse the process and hold the demolition permit on historic structures until all other permits
are approved. Ms. Baker stated there is not a way to reverse the process because the demolition permit
is its own independent process and is not necessarily associated with a development project. She noted
that included in the Design Guidelines, which will be approved by the HDC independent of the BOCC, staff
is proposing a requirement that when a demolition permit is applied for, the applicant must have a case
file number from MHT. This will ensure that MHT will be able to review the application and comment on
the historic structures prior to demolition.
Ms. Aldrich asked if MHT’s requirements for documentation will be cited in the Design Guidelines. Ms.
Jenkins stated that MHT’s standards and guidelines for architectural and historical investigations would
be a suggestion in the Guidelines. It will not be a requirement since it can be quite costly to have a
professional assessment completed. This could be a deterrent for people to apply for a demolition permit
and go thru the process whereby the HDC can make comment and provide alternatives to the property
owner, such as reuse, rehabilitation or salvaging of materials.
Currently in the Zoning Ordinance and in Maryland State Law, there is a requirement for the HDC to render
a decision within 45 days of receipt of a “completed application”. There currently is no demolition
application with the HDC; there is only the permit application. There was a brief discussion regarding the
definition of a “completed application”. Members suggested defining the “completed application” in the
HP zone. One suggestion would be to consider the application completed when it is presented for the first
time to the HDC during its monthly meeting. That would give the HDC 45 days to review the application
and work with the applicant to find alternatives to demolition. There was some discussion as to whether
a public hearing could be incorporated into the process to give the public an opportunity to comment or
give testimony on the history of a property, potential environmental impacts, etc. If a public hearing could
not be integrated, members suggested having a way to get public comment. Ms. Baker explained that
public comment is only used when there is going to be an amendment or a change in the use of a property
that is not expected. For example, a change in zoning on a specific parcel of land. She reminded members
that we are discussing a building permit and noted that the County does not take public comment on a
building permit. Ms. Baker expressed her concern that by taking public comment, we would give the public
a false sense of hope when we cannot deny the demolition permit. The HDC’s authority is only for the
support or non-support of a demolition permit. The HAC would like to be included in the review process
when the HDC receives the “completed application”. It was suggested that the HDC agenda packet should
be sent to the HAC at the same time it is sent to the HDC members.
Consensus: Define “completed application” in the Design Guidelines.
It was decided that the Chairman of the HDC and the Co-chairpersons of the HAC will exchange e-mails to
discuss the premature demolition permit and fines.
ADJOURNMENT
Ms. Aldrich made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:50 p.m. The motion was seconded by Mr. Yavener
and so ordered by the Chairman.
Respectfully submitted,

NEW BUSINESS
Demolition Permit 2021-04892 – 20463 Jefferson Boulevard
Ms. Jenkins presented for review a demolition permit application for property located at 20463 Jefferson
Boulevard. The property owners, Mark and Patricia Clegg, and Jonathan Harris of Total Home
Improvements were present at the meeting. The applicant is proposing to demolish a lean-to addition on
the right side of the tea house (WA-I-283). This is an early 20th century structure; however, the date of the
portion to be demolished is unknown. The door (and windows surrounding it) on the tea house is a notable
architectural feature that should be retained, if possible. It appears that the lean-to addition is sitting
directly on the ground which has caused a lot of rot and decay on the siding. Several windows are damaged
or rotted.
Discussion and Comment: Mr. Lushbaugh asked if removing the lean-to would cause any damage to the
tea house. Mr. Clegg believes there will be no damage to the original structure. Mr. Harris stated that all
of the siding will be replaced on the tea house as well as many other improvements will be made. The
property owners intend to keep the door with surrounding windows. Ms. Aldrich encouraged the
applicant to retain the original siding in order to keep the architectural character of the tea house. Ms.
Aldrich asked if the windows will be re-purposed. Mrs. Clegg said they will be kept and re-used if possible;
however, they must meet building code requirements. Members provided several suggestions for reuse
of materials.
Motion and Vote: Mr. Lushbaugh made a motion to support the demolition of the lean-to addition as
presented. The motion was seconded by Ms. Aldrich and unanimously approved.
Certified Local Government FFY 21 Annual Report
Ms. Jenkins presented a draft of the FFY21 Annual Report for the Certified Local Government. This report
includes the goals for the coming year and continuing education of the members.
Discussion and Comments: There was a brief discussion regarding the education trainings and sessions.
Ms. Jenkins will verify that this section is updated and complete.
Motion and Vote: Ms. Aldrich made a motion to approve the FFY21 Certified Local Government Annual
Report with the modifications as discussed. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lushbaugh and unanimously
approved.
OTHER BUSINESS
Staff Report
• Staff Reviews: Ms. Jenkins stated a written report was provided with the agenda packets.
• Staff Updates:
o Dickinson Property – MHT does not keep a contractor’s list for documenting properties.
MHT has received the file from the consultant for this property, MHT File #202104484.
MHT will reach out to the HDC for comments on this application. Following a brief
discussion, members decided they would like to see the application and any new
information that is submitted.
o MAHDC Training will be held on December 7th from 6 to 8 pm. This is an optional training.
o CAMP training is scheduled for December 6th and 8th from 9 am to 1 pm.
o Design Guidelines are still a work in progress. Staff is hoping to have the new draft
available for the January meeting.
o 21612 Jefferson Boulevard – This property changed ownership at the same time the
historic structure was demolished so we are still trying to find who the new owners are.
Staff continues to check on this matter.
o Food for Thought – Meghan made a presentation to this group regarding the HDC
Demolition permit process.
o Town of Sharpsburg – Ms. Jenkins reported that the municipalities, excepting the City of
Hagerstown because they have an HDC equivalent, do not qualify for County tax credits
per the Ordinance. County tax credits can be applied on properties with the HP (Historic
Preservation) or AO (Antietam Overlay) zoning districts. County tax credits could extend
to the municipalities (per the BOCC minutes) that have an equivalent zoning to the HP
zone, which includes adopting language of the HDC, and the ability to approve or deny
permits for historic structures. There was a brief discussion that the HDC could perform
the reviews for the municipalities under an MOU; however, there are several outstanding
projects that need to be considered before we could consider this idea.
UPCOMING MEETING
The next meeting is scheduled for January 5, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.

Mr. Lushbaugh made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:15 p.m. The motion was seconded by Mr.

Dear Property Owner,
Your property(PROPERTY INFORMATION) (PROPERTY INFORMATION) (PROPERTY
INFORMATION) has been identified as being within a designated County Growth Area and having
structure(s) identified on the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties (MIHP) that may be threatened
by non-compatible zoning or land use. Your property has been previously identified through survey and
included on the MIHP survey (RESOURCE DETAILS)(RESOURCE DETAILS)(RESOURCE DETAILS). The
Historic District Commission (HDC) is hoping to provide citizens with resources for the continued use of
the historic structure and its protection. The HDC acknowledges that these Growth Areas have rapidly
evolving land uses, which may require proactive approaches to resource retention. There have been
several demolitions of structures included on the MIHP in recent years both in and out of these growth
areas. The goal of the HDC is to ensure that a dialogue exists prior to a demolition application involving
these resources and to hopefully minimize these demolitions through collaboration with property
owners.
The HDC would encourage property owners interested in retention of their MIHP resources to
consider the County’s Historic Preservation Zoning Overlay (HP Overlay). This Overlay persists through
changes in ownership and provides property owners the ability to apply for local historic preservation
tax credits for qualifying exterior projects or new construction in the amount of 10% or 5% respectively.
These tax credits are available if the work follows the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
You can review more details on the program, including additional State and Federal credits that can be
combined at this link: https://arcg.is/e5jCW . The HDC highly encourages that interested property
owners place this overlay if they wish for the historic structure to have more protections during
comprehensive plan and project reviews in the future as well.
Since your property contains a structure on the MIHP, the HDC also wanted to determine if
there were any additional programs or assistance that could be provided to help with the retention of
the resource. The HDC website has a Customer Resources page available covering a variety of topics.
Please reach out using the included contact information with any suggestions or considerations that the
HDC should undertake.
Thank you for your stewardship of a historic resource in Washington County. The HDC looks
forward to working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
Meghan Jenkins

Re: National Pike Logistics Center
Washington County, Maryland
MDOT SHA EAPD No. 3848
MDOT SHA Tracking No. 21APWA012XX
Dear Mr. Franek:
Thank you for providing the Maryland Historical Trust (Trust) with information regarding the above-referenced project.
We understand that the project may require an Engineering Access Permit from the Maryland State Highway
Administration (MDOT SHA). Therefore, we have assessed the effects of the undertaking on historic properties in
accordance the Maryland Historical Trust Act of 1985, as amended, State Finance and Procurement Article §§ 5A-325
and 5A-326 of the Annotated Code of Maryland.
As noted in your correspondence, NorthPoint Development proposes to construct two large warehouses with internal
roadways, parking, and stormwater management ponds. Construction of the industrial buildings will necessitate the
demolition of one property included in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties (MIHP) known as the J.R. Fridinger
Farm (MIHP No. WA-004). The Trust believes that this property is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic
Places.
According to Article §§ 5A-325 and 5A-326 of the Annotated Code of Maryland, demolition of properties listed in the
Maryland Register of Historic Properties/National Register of Historic Places constitutes an adverse effect that requires
consultation and development of feasible and practicable means to avoid, mitigate, or satisfactorily reduce the adverse
effect. After reviewing the proposed plans, the Trust has determined that the project must complete additional avoidance
and mitigation measures to satisfactorily reduce the project’s adverse effects. It appears that the existing tenant/spring
house may not be impacted by the proposed construction activities. We strongly recommend NorthPoint Development
explore options to retain and incorporate the tenant/spring house into the proposed development. Finally, the Trust has
determined that the project’s adverse effect will be satisfactorily reduced by NorthPoint Development carrying out the
following mitigation measure:
MIHP Addendum Form for the J.R. Fridinger Farm (MIHP No. WA-004)
• NorthPoint Development will complete an Addendum to the existing MIHP record for the J.R. Fridinger Farm
(MIHP No. WA-004). The Addendum will provide an updated architectural description and historic context for
the property and include high quality digital photographic documentation of structures and landscape prior to the
commencement of demolition and construction activities. Photographs should include images clearly showing all
facades of primary buildings, all accessory buildings and structures, all significant landscape features, and the

general landscape and context of the property. Photographs must be either traditional black-and-white images
prepared in accordance with the Standards and Guidelines for Architectural and Historical Investigations in
Maryland (2019), or digital images prepared in accordance with the standards for submission of digital images
(Appendix B in the Standards and Guidelines). NorthPoint Development will provide digital photo files, a photo
key plan, photo log and the MIHP Addendum form to the Trust for review and acceptance.
Please sign the concurrence line provided at the end of this letter if you concur with the Trust’s stipulation and provide the
Trust and the MDOT SHA with copies. If NorthPoint Development does not agree with these stipulations, further
consultation will be necessary to conclude the historic preservation consultation.
Inclusion of this signed letter with the MDOT SHA Access Permit application is evidence that NorthPoint Development
agrees to satisfactorily comply with Article §§ 5A-325 and 5A-326 of the Annotated Code of Maryland and also satisfies
the responsibilities of MDOT SHA under the Maryland State historic preservation law.
If you should have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please contact Tim Tamburrino at
tim.tamburrino@maryland.gov or Beth Cole at beth.cole@maryland.gov. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Hughes

effect of this undertaking and fulfill NorthPoint Development’s responsibilities under Article §§ 5A-325 and 5A-326 of
the Annotated Code of Maryland.
