HomeMy WebLinkAboutH_1984 Annual Report:1■:-•• March 19, 1985 Board of County Commissioners Court House Annex Hagerstown, Maryland Gentlemen: The Planning Commission is pleased to forward for your use its 1984 Annual Report. This report, submitted pursuant to the provisions of Article 66B of the Annotated Code, summarizes the activities the Commis- sion was involved in throughout calendar year 1984. In addition to the routine review and approval of subdivisions and site plans, the Commission continued to implement the Comprehensive Plan that was adopted in 1981. The various elements of the Plan addressed by the Commission in 1984 are described in this report. Of particular sig- nificance is the effort that continues between the Commission and the incorporated towns for establishing the Town Growth Areas similar to the Urban Growth Area developed with Hagerstown, Funkstown, and Williamsport. Meetings with Smithsburg are currently being held, and the outlook for positive policies mutually beneficial to the town and the County is most encouraging. Meetings with Boonsboro will begin in the spring of 1984. The Commission continues to meet with the Economic Development Com- mission on matters of common interest. Two meetings were held in 1984, one on the availability of industrial land, the second on future road corridors between Valley Plaza and the Washington County Industrial Park. Valuable direction has always stemmed from these meetings that assure the implementation of sound planning from the perspective of both an economic enhancement and wise land use.

The creation of this committee is recommended by the Plan in the following manner: A Joint Study Committee or Task Force should be appointed for each growth area to include county and municipal repre- sentatives. Such groups should include citizen members, public agency members, and elected officials. Among the functions of these groups should be: i. Identify issues and areas of mutual concern related to growth management; ii. Identify areas of conflict and produce a statement of each point of view; iii. Evaluate alternative approaches to resolve areas of conflict; iv. Report findings and recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners and to municipal elected officials. Smithsburg is the first of the four incorporated municipalities that will delineate a Town Growth Area. The Study Committee, composed of representatives from the Town and County, will continue to meet monthly until completion of this project due to culminate in May of 1985. At that time, the Committee will publish its findings and make presentations to the Mayor and Council of Smithsburg and the Board of County Commissioners. 4 Identification of the Smithsburg Town Growth Area and concomitant recommendations are aimed at improved and expanded facilities in the planned growth area which will accommodate future population. In this way, develop- ment can be served effectively and without excessive costs by the taxpayers, County and Town. I: r PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT The new PUD article for the Zoning Ordinance was completed in 1984 and was taken to public hearing on September 17. Following that the Plan- ning Commission, in formulating a recommendation for the Board of County Commissioners, decided to further address the question of density in the Robinwood area and appointed a special PUD Study Committee to review and recommend density ranges for this particular section of the County. That Committee has completed its task and as of this report is prepared to pre- sent to the Commission its findings and recommendations. It is expected that the Planning Commission in turn will forward its recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners sometime in February 1985. The PUD article will replace the existing PR article of the Zoning Ordinance and will expand upon that existing article to include particular criteria and performance standards designed to benefit both the developer and the public. I AGRICULTURAL LANDS STUDY The Agricultural Lands Study was completed during the early part of 1984. A public review meeting was held in April to allow all interested parties a chance to comment on the Study and the resulting Agricultural Lands Inventory Map. Comments were favorable and the Map was adopted in June by the Board of County Commissioners. Thereafter, the map was printed and distributed to agriculturally related organizations, appropriate state and local governmental agencies, the Board of Realtors, Homebuilders, and the press. Several requests for the inventory map have been made since the initial distribution and the Planning Staff will continue to direct copies to those who express interest in its use. The Agricultural Lands Inventory Map has been developed to accentuate the importance of prime and productive agricultural lands and as an infor- mational source to be used in assisting public agencies in future planning projects. It can be used as a reference for the Agricultural Land Preser- vation Board in its decisions and will be beneficial in formulating policies about future growth in the Rural/Agricultural Areas of the County. 7 PARK PLANNING In 1984, park planning included a wide variety of projects and activities. A concept plan and materials cost estimate for Woodland Way Park was prepared for use by the Parks Department. This park project initiated the development and use of a maintenance impact statement (MIS) for new park development. As recommended by the Parks and Open Space Plan, the MIS provides an estimate of annual maintenance costs. This will assist in anticipating and budgeting for park maintenance needs and in preventing the loss of recreational and aesthetic values. A concept plan and materials cost estimate for the Wilson Bridge picnic area was developed and has been approved by the Parks Board. It is anticipated that site development will begin during 1985. Documentation in support of acquisition of the South County Park site was produced after final site selection by the County Commissioners. Preliminary concept planning was begun with final concept planning, design and construction expected in 1985. The development of maintenance plans for each of the County parks was initi- ated this year. These plans should serve as useful tools to help provide effective and efficient management of park operations and maintenance. Other park planning activities included researching and drafting guidelines and requirements for tot lots and landscaping to be amended to the Zoning Ordi- nance, preparation of a cost estimate for the Halfway Park swimming pool, and site evaluation of property offered for purchase near Camp Harding Park. I THE AGRICULTURAL LAND PRESERVATION PROGRAM Washington County's effort to preserve valuable farmland via the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program began in April of 1978 and has continued through 1984. The program was established and is regulated by Agricultural Article, Section 2-501 through 2-515 of the Annotated Code of Maryland. It is administered through a Planning Commission staff member by the Washington County 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 de- veloped for a period of at least five years. In return for that restriction the landowner receives protection from nuisance complaints and becomes eligible to sell a development rights easement. A landowner may exercise the option of selling a development rights easement to the Agricultural Land Preservation Foun- dation provided that his offer to sell is recommended by the County's Advisory Board and the County Commissioners. At the local level the Agricultural Advisory Board will review and rank ease- ment applications, assigning point values to such items as farm size, soil quality, and development pressure indicators on its easement checklist. Each farm's total point value will assist the Board in determining which farms to recommend for ease - 9 memt purchase and in what order of priority. The Board of County Commissioners makes the final local decision based on Advisory Board recommendations and data gathered at the required public hearing. If purchased by the State of Maryland, the easement will remain effective in perpetuity. However, after a period of twenty-five years, the State Foundation may approve the owner's request to be released from the easement's restrictions on development if the property can no longer support a viable agricultural operation. 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. The total acreage of productive farmland in preservation districts rose from 3187.46 acres in 1983 to 3388.01 acres at the close of 1984. Two additional appli- cations were reviewed in late 1984 and have not yet completed the review procedure. District application activity is listed below. Name and No. Farm Type Acres Status Suzanne E.

In mid calendar year 1983 available Fiscal Year 1984 funds were deter- mined. Settlement procedures are still to be completed on the one easement purchase made in Washington County with FY '84 funds. Only after conclusion of settlement is the landowner's identity available for general publication. Available FY '85 funds were also identified in mid 1984. The Foundation saw one of its largest available balances for easement purchases which resulted in Wash- ington County also realizing the largest available fund in the seven year history of the program. Funding activity occurring in 1984 is detailed as follows. 11 Year General Allotted Funds County Contribution (Optional) 40% State Total Contribution Available 60% FY'84 $ 82,796.95 $20,132,05 $30,198.07 Allocated Mid -1983 FY'85 $119,413.61 $50,657.18 $75,985.77 Allocated Mid -1984 AGRICULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT LAND CONVERTED TO DEVELOPMENT IN 1984 PLANNING SECTOR I E.D. _ ACRES NO.OF LOTS NEW USE* 2 4.8 1 IN 9 1.1 1 R 10 45.9 5 R 13 3.8 1 IN 13 6.5 1 R** 18 4.1 2 R Total 66.2 11 PLANNING SECTOR II E.D.

The staff is in the process of making a revision to the Plan which was adopted in 1982. However, due to a major revision made to the 1982 document, the changes detailed in the current update should not be extensive. The most noteworthy items whichwill appear in the update is the following status of the work accomplished in solid waste management within the County as recommended by the 1982 Plan. A separate area with a greenbox has been designated to receive all incoming trash from residential vehicles. This safety improvement was made to prevent residential vehicles from depositing trash at the working face of the cell. I Weighing of incoming commercial, residential, and industrial waste is being done on a regular basis. This information will be valuable to the update of future solid waste manage- ment plans. A rubble fill has been established. I The amount of cars entering the landfill is now being moni- tored. The allowance for tire disposal is four tires per resident and commercial tires must be sliced before they're accepted. I A landfill study has been completed in 1984 which details available land for future landfill sites. 14 LANDFILL STUDY The Landfill Study was completed over a number of months in 1984. Essentially, it was an investigation of areas in the County that are environmentally favorable, geological sound, and otherwise suitable for the location of future landfill sites. The site selection pro- cess consisted of the development of criteria which indicated the degree of desirability of a.site for a landfill. Several sites were ranked, analyzed, and eliminated if they were not suitable for the siting of a landfill. Of the sites evaluated, twelve desirable sites remain. Each of these sites will be presented to.the Board of County Commissioners for their perusal. Further evaluation of the twelve desirable sites will require technical review, such as borings and site development cost data, before a final selection could be made. Completion of this task has addressed all recommendations made in the 1982 Solid Waste Management Plan. 15 WASHINGTON COUNTY REGIONAL AIRPORT In 1984, lands of and surrounding the Washington County Regional Airport experienced major changes in zoning classifications. These changes are a result of first, significant additions to the text of Article 21, "AP" - Air- port zone of the Zoning Ordinance and resulting revisions to the zoning desig- nations placed on individual properties. On October 4, 1983 the County Commissioners approved RZ-262 which removed the "P" - Public Owned Lands zoning designation from all properties in Washing- ton County except the Airport. The designation was abandoned because there were no development guidelines for that district. Occasionally, public agen- cies would transfer properties to private individuals. These parties would have no guidelines in the subsequent development of their land and in fact were restricted from development until the "P" classification was changed. Public agencies have continued to acquire properties since the 1973 comprehensive zoning. These new acquisitions retained their previous zoning which also cre- ated inconsistencies. The lands of the Washington County Regional Airport retained its Public designation during RZ-262 because the Planning Commission felt that it warranted a much closer review than could be made when considering the other 16,000 acres of "P" zoned lands. There was also a need to revise the text of the "AP" zone. It contained only 3 short paragraphs and did not provide any guidelines for future development, something that was anticipated following the County's acqui- sition of the facility from the City of Hagerstown in May, 1981. 16 The rezonings of and at the Airport were accomplished with the approval of RZ-291 and 292 on October 2, 1984. RZ-291 drastically modified the text of Article 21, "AP" - Airport District in several ways. It split the zone into two categories. The AP/C - Airport Clear zone which is a non-traditional zoning category, limits structure height inside a specified area adjacent to the Air- port and also limits development at the ends of the runways. The limits of the zone are three-dimensional and coincide with Federal Airport Regulations. The second and more traditional category of zoning in the new text is the "AP" - Airport zone. This section is very similar to the "PI" - Planned Indus- trial district in its development guidelines with the addition of height restrictions to protect flight patterns at the Airport. It also provides a list of permitted and prohibited uses that will allow development on the Airport property. A sampling of permitted uses includes normal airport activities, air- craft related services such as sales and repair, air freight handlers, training schools and uses of a light industrial nature. This revision provides another area in which economic development activities would be appropriate. Once the new text was in place the designations on the properties had to be changed to correspond with the new land use guidelines. The "P" - Public Owned Lands designation was removed from the Airport property and is now no longer found on any Washington County Zoning Map. In its place the "AP" District was assigned to all land in County ownership related to the airport. Other land in private ownership surrounding the Airport which had "AP" zoning has now been assigned the ."A" or "HI" District which is much more appropriate for the actual use. 17 All lands in the Airport vicinity received the AP/C overlay zone to pre- vent airspace intrusions regardless of its actual use. The height restrictions are tied to the base airport elevation of 704 feet above sea level. The AP/C zone is oval shaped in its plan view, approximately 6 1/2 miles long (east to west) and 3 1/2 miles wide (north to south). Height restrictions within the zone depend on the proximity to the Airport runways; greater restrictions apply the closer a use is to the runway. In addition to complete abolishment of the "P" zone, establishment of the "AP" zone and development guidelines rearranging the individual property desig- nations accordingly, the Airport rezoning accomplished several items from Washington County's Comprehensive Plan under Air Transportation policies. The Plan states that the "AP" zone should be expanded and amended to permit trans- portation industry related uses, height limitations and residential development guidelines. It also states that development should be subject to site plan review. These two items have been completely satisfied by the Airport rezoning cases. Consideration of the Airport as an area of planned industrial development and support of efforts to "preserve, maintain and improve" the airport have in part been accomplished by the zoning changes and also in part as a result of the County's purchase of the Airport. The establishment of an Enterprise Zone around the Airport by the State of Maryland has also supported these Comprehen- sive Plan policies. The major revisions to the Zoning Ordinance concerning the Airport District and adjacent lands is believed to provide the appropriate protection and develop- ment guidelines originally intended and necessary to maintain the Washington County Regional Airport as a safe and economically viable asset to the County. 18 TRANSPORTATION PLAN The Transportation Plan also identified as the Unified Planning Work Program is an element of the Planning Commission's annual work program that primarily stems from a requirement of the State and Federal levels. Both State and Federal law require that the Unified Planning Work Program be put together each year to document the short range and long range planning activities of the community relating to transportation where State and Fed- eral funds are involved. The elements of the Unified Planning Work Program are the Transpor- tation Improvement Program, which is the State's designation for capital projects; an Accounting element and Census Date element compiled by the Transportation Commission; a Transit Service element that is to reflect the current status of the Mass Transit System; and the Transportation Plan it- self that documents all the short range and long range transportation activities using the 1977 Hagerstown/Washington County Transportation Plan as its base. Aside from satisfying the Federal and State Transportation offices, the Unified Planning Work Program is a useful document for monitoring and planning all elements of transportation important to Washington County. Unfortunately, much of the annual update of this work program is repetitive because of State and Federal regulations that specify certain formats. Given the nature of the existing State requirements, however, there doesn't seem to be any immediate hope for reducing this extra work that often does little more than satisfy State Bureaucracies. 19 REZONING CASES In 1984 the Planning Commission acted on twenty-five rezoning applica- tions. Sixteen of these cases were for map amendments, four of which were withdrawn, and the remainder were for text amendments. Joint hearings with the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners are now being held regularly on a quarterly cycle, or as special hearings are called, in order to improve the overall efficiency of the hearing process. A detailed listing of the County Commissioners recommendations and the Board's action for the cases heard in 1984 are as follows: TYPE OF PLANNING COUNTY CASE APPLICANT AMENDMENT AREA REQUEST COMMISSION COMMISSIONERS RECOMMENDATION DISPOSITION RZ-273 Bernard Ostrow Map 56.84 Ac.
