Board of County Commissioners
Court House Annex
Hagerstown, Maryland
Gentlemen:
The Planning Commission is pleased to forward for your use the 1983
Annual Report. This report, submitted pursuant to the provisions of
Article 66B of the Annotated Code, summarizes all the activities in which
the Commission was involved throughout calendar year 1983.
The Comprehensive Plan continues to be implemented. Throughout 1983,
the Zoning Ordinance was amended to reflect new provisions for surface
mining in the County. The Planned Unit Development concept was developed
in draft form with a date set in early 1984 for public review; that change
to the Ordinance is expected to be implemented by mid -1984. Significant pro-
gress was made on Agricultural Preservation in the County, and further action
on this matter will be taken by both the Planning Commission and the Board of
County Commissioners in the current year. The completion of the Urban Growth
Area Study was of particular significance; priorities were set and endorsed
by the political jurisdictions of the County, the City of Hagerstown, and
Funkstown for policies of mutual interest. Those priority items are now being
worked on by various parties within the City and County with the objective of
achieving more effective government.
Continuing with the trend begun several years ago, the Annual Report is
designed not only as a narrative documentation of the Planning Commission's
activities, but it is also intended to provide important statistical data for
subdivisions, zoning changes, and loss of agricultural land. The compilation
of these data is intended to be of aid not only to the Commission and the
elected officials but to other government agencies and the public as well.
Sincerely,
William E. Wolfo4, A.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Planning Commission continued with its implementation
of the Comprehensive Plan throughout calendar year 1983. The
elements that were worked on are shown on the Comprehensive Plan
implementation Schedule and will be found in the 1982 Annual
Report. The items that were of prime priority throughout 1983
were the Urban Growth Area Study, the Planned Unit Development
Text for the Zoning Ordinance, the Agricultural Preservation Stu-
dy, and Mineral Extraction. A detailed summary of each of these
tasks is given on the following pages. The 1984 calendar year
work program has been adopted by the Planning Commission as of
this writing and is included here for reference.

URBAN GROWTH AREA STUDY
The Urban Growth Area Study Committee completed its task
and published the results of its findings on March 24, 1983.
This report from the Committee was then presented in joint ses-
sion to the Planning Commissions of Washington County,
Hagerstown, Funkstown, and Williamsport on March 21. Subsequent
presentations were then made to the Mayor and Council for the
City of Hagerstown and to the Board of County Commissioners
throughout the first half of the calendar year. Following that,
both the Board of County Commissioners and the Mayor and Council
of Hagerstown endorsed the Urban Growth Area Study and agreed
to work for solution of the problems summarized by the Committee.
A summary of the principal components of concern in the
study and the status of the resolution of those concerns as of
the end of calendar year 1983 are as follows:

Following the adoption of the Urban Growth Area Boundary
two items for consideration came before the Planning Commission
in relation to this boundary. The first was a mandatory exten-
sion of a public water line north of the Huyett's Crossroads
intersection along Md. Route 63 to serve homes in the Martin's
Crossroads area where polluted wells were discovered by the
County Health Department. After consideration of the impact
this new water line would have on the immediate area the Plan-
ning Commission adopted a position and forwarded this to the
Board of County Commissioners stating that the Urban Growth
Area Boundary should not be shifted westward from its original
position to include the Martin's Crossroads area and that any
development in the Martin's Crossroads/Cearfoss area should be
limited to that which can be supported by the new water line
and present zoning density limitations. A second consideration
was later given for extending the water line from the Huyett's
Crossroads area westward as far as the Conococheague Creek. The
Planning Commission adopted a similar position stating that the
Urban Growth Area Boundary should remain as adopted.
4
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
The proposed text for the Zoning Ordinance for a Planned
Unit Development was completed in the last days of 1983. This
proposed text was submitted to all local consultants, as well
as other concerned parties, for comments. The proposed text, as
of this writing, has been scheduled for additional review by the
Planning Commission prior to taking it to public hearing in the
second quarter of 1984. This text, if adopted by the Board of
County Commissioners, will provide for increased flexibility in
residential development in the Urban Growth Area and will replace
the existing PR Section of the Zoning Ordinance.
3
AGRICULTURAL LANDS STUDY
In January of 1983, the Planning Commission appointed four-
teen individuals in the community to work with the Planning Staff
to develop an Agricultural Lands Inventory Map. This map would
define, delineate, and designate the Prime and Productive Agricul-
tural Lands in Washington County. The initial purpose of accom-
plishing this task was to implement the Comprehensive Plan Policy
which states that the County should define and preserve prime
agricultural land. However, after much of the research had been
done, it was, obvious to the staff and the Task Force that the map
could also be a valuable resource to the County.
The Task Force's monthly meetings consisted of review of
productive soils, current lands farmed, and evaluation of deter-
minants to agricultural activity which would hasten conversion of
the land from an agricultural use to a developmental use. The
study progressed with guidance from the Planning Staff and, using
the best data available, is the most comprehensive and thorough
agricultural study undertaken by the County.
The Planning Commission recognizes the work of the Agricul-
tural Land Study Task Force as having produced a resource that is
beneficial to future planning efforts within the County. The map
will be a valuable resource to local agencies in guiding growth in
the County and will provide a tool to foster appreciation and respect
for the quality of the prime and productive lands necessary for the
3
rural character of the County to prevail.
It is hoped that the map will be finalized and adopted by
the County Commissioners early in 1984.

PARK PLANNING ACTIVITIES
In 1983, planning for parks encompassed a variety of pro-
jects and activities.
The Clear Spring Park Concept Plan was revised and final-
ized early in the year. Construction was completed in the fall,
and the park will be ready for use in 1984.
The South County Park project experienced an unforeseen
delay due to unique site conditions. After several revisions of
the concept plan it was discovered that the site included a valu-
able wetland area, which precluded active recreational development
of the site.
A comprehensive study was then begun which selected and
analyzed thirty potential alternate park sites. Following a de-
tailed elimination process based on numerical scoring of site
factors, on -site evaluation, and landowner contacts, a list of
7 alternate sites was presented to the County Commissioners. Three
sites were selected for detailed soil and perk testing. It is
expected that the final chosen site will be acquired, planned, and
developed during 1984.
Planning and analysis of property expanding existing parks
was also a part of activities in 1983.
F
A pool site analysis at Halfway Park examined the feasi-
bility of an alternate pool location utilizing acquired property
to provide access from Bower Avenue. A concept plan for addition-
al property at Camp Harding County Park was also prepared for use
by the Parks Department.
Other park planning activities included the concept planning
and design of a large identification sign for Halfway County Park,
fitness trail planning assistance provided to the Washington County
Hospital and the City Parks Department, and site evaluation and
recommendation of a possible new park site along Antietam Creek.
a
MINERAL EXTRACTION
This element of the Comprehensive Plan was implemented in
1983 as a new adopted section of the Zoning Ordinance. The pri-
mary features of this new Mineral Extraction text are:
1. Low volume mineral extraction is provided for in
all zoning districts except residential, moderate
volume mineral extraction requires Appeals Board
approval as a Special Exception, high volume miner-
al extraction, five acres or more, requires the
rezoning process.
2. The IM District, Article 15, sets forth the procedure
for rezoning land to IM. The floating zone concept
is employed whereby the Planning Commission may recom-
mend and the County Commissioners may adopt a new IM
District based on the appropriateness of the applica-
tion in relation to numerous factors. The change or
mistake rule does not apply to this floating zone.
10
THE AGRICULTURAL LAND
PRESERVATION PROGRAM
Washington County's effort to preserve valuable farm-
land via the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program
began in April of 1978. The five -member Advisory Board ap-
pointed by the Board of County Commissioners continued the
effort in 1983. The program is provided for by Agricultural
Article, Section 2-501 through 2-515 of the Annotated Code of
Maryland and is administered through a Planning Commission
staff member by the Agricultural Land Preservation Advisory
Board, the County Commissioners, and the Maryland Agricultural
Land Preservation Foundation of the Maryland Department of
Agriculture.
The program encourages landowners to voluntarily enter
into an Agricultural Land Preservation District in which it is
agreed that the land will not be developed for a period of at
least five years. Once established in a district, a landowner
may exercise the option of selling a development rights ease-
ment to the Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation provided
that his offer to sell is recommended by the County's Agricultur-
al Land Preservation Advisory Board and the County Commissioners.
If purchased, the easement will remain effective in
perpetuity unless, after a period of twenty-five years, the
State Foundation approves an owner's request to be released from
11
the easement's restrictions on development. The owner must then
repurchase the development rights at their current market value.
The decision to purchase a development rights easement
is based on competitive rankings made at the State level using
a formula that compares the easement value as determined by the
State appraisers with the landowner's asking price.
In 1983, settlement procedures were concluded on the
easement purchases made with FY '82 funds. The farms which
sold Development Rights Easements are listed below:
E.D. Name Acreage Farm Type
6 Lloyd B. Ford, et al 178.59 Dairy & Crop
23 Robert E. & Phyllis 241.96 Dairy & Crop
J. Carr
The total acreage of productive farmland in Agricultural
Preservation Districts rose from 2874.64 acres in 1982 to
3187.46 acres in 1983. District applications received for review
by the Agricultural Advisory Board are listed below:

GEOHYDROLOGIC STUDY
This study was completed by the consultants, R. E.
Wright Associates in 1983 and resulted in the adoption of an
On -Site Sewage Disposal Ordinance by the Board of County Com-
missioners with an effective date of November 8, 1983.
Numerous changes were made to the Ordinance as originally pro-
posed by the consultant and resulted in some trade-offs because
of concerns on the part of the State Health Department. In
addition to the Ordinance itself there was also an accompanying
technical manual, both of which will be administered by the lo-
cal Health Department.
15
WATER AND SEWERAGE PLAN
State law requires that Washington County prepare and main-
tain a Comprehensive Water and Sewerage Plan every two years.
The revision and update of the Water and Sewerage Plan was com-
pleted in 1983 by the Planning Commission and forwarded to the
County Commissioners. The County Commissioners held a public
hearing, adopted the document and submitted it to the State
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene for their approval.
Due to a major revision made to the document in 1980, changes
made to the 1983 update were not extensive. Revisions to the text
consisted of an update of statistical information which included
the latest published flow data and the 1980 Census counts. Dele-
tion of finished projects and addition of proposed projects com-
pleted amendment to the text.
The appropriate adjustments were made to the maps and tables
to reflect revised information in the text. After a 90 -day review
period, approval from the State was issued in November of 1983.
16
WATER QUALITY STUDY
The Planning Commission was contacted by the Maryland
Geological Survey in September of 1983 with a proposal to share
costs between the County and the State in a three-year study
that would update Bulletin 24 that was published by the Mary-
land Geological Survey in 1962. The overall purpose of the
study is to update water resources data for the County. As of
this writing, the matter has been reviewed by both the Planning
Commission and the Board of County Commissioners and a tentative
approval at the local level for proceeding with this study has
been given by the Board consistent with available budget for
FY '84 - '85.
17
REZONING CASES
In 1983, the Planning Commission acted on twenty-nine
rezoning applications. Eight of these cases were for map
amendments, two of which were withdrawn, and twenty-one were
text amendments, two of which were withdrawn. Those acted on
by the Commission and forwarded to the Board of County Commis-
sioners are given below. Board action is as of December 16,
1983.
