Open Session Item
SUBJECT: Olden Rural Legacy Program (RLP) Easement
PRESENTATION DATE: August 25, 2020
PRESENTATION BY: Chris Boggs, Land Preservation Planner, Dept. of Planning & Zoning
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the Drew S. Olden RLP Easement project, in the
amount of $546,360.00 for 184.12 easement acres, paid for 100% by the Maryland Department of Natural
Resources, and to adopt an ordinance approving the easement purchase and to authorize the execution of
the necessary documentation to finalize the easement purchase.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The Olden property is located at 3702 Rohrersville Rd., Rohrersville, and the
easement will serve to permanently preserve a valuable scenic, environmental and historic property in the
County. The parcel is mostly hay, cropland and woodland. It lies in a part of Washington County that
was heavily trafficked during the Civil War and the Battle of Antietam. It borders DNR’s historic Rails
to Trails line and is within the viewshed of Elk Ridge and the Battle of South Mountain.
The farm is contiguous to other preserved farmland near Antietam Battlefield and will aid in expanding
the current block of protected lands. Fourteen (14) development rights will be extinguished with this
easement.
DISCUSSION: Since 1998, Washington County has been awarded more than $23 million to purchase
Rural Legacy easements on more than 7,000 acres near Antietam Battlefield in the Rural Legacy Area.
RLP is a sister program to the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program (MALPP) and includes
the protection of environmental and historic features in addition to agricultural parameters. RLP uses an
easement valuation system (points) to establish easement value rather than appraisals used by MALPP.
For FY 2020, Washington County was awarded RLP grants totaling $1,502,982. The Olden RLP
Easement will use part those funds. Easement applicants were previously ranked based on four main
categories: the number of development rights available, the quality of the land/land management
(agricultural component), natural resources (environmental), and the historic value.
FISCAL IMPACT: RLP funds are 100% State dollars, mainly from DNR Open Space funds. In
addition to the easement funds, we receive up to 3% of the easement value for administrative costs, a
mandatory 1.5% for compliance/monitoring costs, and funds to cover all of our legal/settlement costs.
CONCURRENCES: Both the State RLP Board and the State Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
staff have approved and support our program. A final money allocation will be approved by the State
Board of Public Works.
ALTERNATIVES: If Washington County rejects State funds for RLP, the funds will be allocated to
other counties in Maryland.

Open Session Item
SUBJECT: Consensus - Application for Zoning Map Amendment RZ-20-001
PRESENTATION DATE: August 25, 2020
PRESENTATION BY: Travis Allen, Comprehensive Planner, Department of Planning and Zoning
RECOMMENDED MOTION: The purpose of this agenda item is to reach a consensus to either
approve or deny the applicant’s request to rezone property.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Application is being made to rezone four properties totaling 11.64 acres along
Hopewell Road from the current Highway Interchange (HI) to Residential Transition (RT).
DISCUSSION: The applicant Jone L. Bowman Residuary Trust and Linda Lou Ebersole Family
Irrevocable Trust seek a map amendment for four properties located at 11107, 11111, 11115 and 11119
Hopewell Rd. The factors to be considered in a request for a map amendment are listed in Article 27.3
of the Washington County Zoning Ordinance. Primarily, the applicant must demonstrate that there has
been a change in the character of the neighborhood since the time of the last comprehensive zoning
plan, or a mistake made in the zoning designation placed on the property at that same time. For these
two properties, the Comprehensive Rezoning of the Urban Growth Area in 2012 is the point from which
“Change or Mistake” should be evaluated. The applicant is claiming a “Mistake” was made in 2012 in
their request to rezone the property to HI.
This item was presented to the Washington County Planning Commission at a Public Information
Meeting held on May 18, 2020. It was then brought back for recommendation at the June 1, 2020
meeting, where the members unanimously recommended for approval of the proposed map
amendment.
Thus far, one written public comment has been received in favor of the proposed rezoning. No public
comments were made during the Public Information Meeting.
The Public Hearing for this item was presented to the Board of County Commissioners on August 11,
2020. No action was taken by Commissioners on the request at that time.

Dear Sir or Madam:
I represent the Linda Lou Ebersole Family Irrevocable Trust and the Jone L. Bowman
Residuary Trust (collectively referred to as the "Applicant"). On behalf of the Applicant, please
accept this letter as the required Justification Statement for the requested rezoning (i.e. down -
zoning) of the Property (defined below) from its current HI (Highway Interchange) classification
to an RT (Residential, Transition) classification. All referenced exhibits are hereby incorporated
as part of this letter.
The Linda Lott Ebersole Family Irrevocable Trust is the title owner 11119 Hopewell
Road, Hagerstown, Maryland 21740 ("Lot 1"). The Jone L. Bowman Residuary Trust is the title
owner of 11115, 11111, & 11107 Hopewell Road, Hagerstown, Maryland 21740 ("Lot 2",
"Lot 3" & "Lot 4" respectively). For purposes of this letter, the term "Property" shall
collectively refer to Lot 1, Lot 2, Lot 3, and Lot 4. The Property is described on Tax Map 48 as
Parcel 246, and is more accurately described on Plat No. 6462 attached as Exhibit 1.
Situated upon Lot 1 is a fully restored historical farmhouse and outbuildings (known as
the Chapman Farm) originally built circa 1820. The farmhouse has been used by Mr. and Mrs.
Ebersole as their permanent residence for the last twenty (20) years.
Current Zoning
A vicinity map showing the current HI zoning classification of the Property as well as the
zoning classifications of the adjacent and surrounding properties is attached as Exhibit 2.
The Property's current HI zoning was granted during the 2012 Comprehensive Rezoning
(hereinafter the "2012 Rezoning"). The County originally proposed RT zoning for the Property
in connection with the 2012 Rezoning. The County's original proposal is shown on page 5 item
#22 on the spreadsheet entitled Requests and Comments to County Commissioners Received
During UGA Public Hearing July 26, 2011, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3. However,
the Applicant requested that the Property be rezoned HI rather than RT. This request was set
forth in the July 26, 2011 letter to the Washington County Board of County Commissioners
(hereinafter the "Request Letter") attached as Exhibit 4.
The Request Letter set forth three (3) main arguments justifying Applicant's request that
the Property be zoned HI: (i) HI zoning of the Property would be consistent with the adjacent
property to the North' (hereinafter "Parcel 24511); (ii) the Property is in close proximity to
Interstate 81; and (iii) the Applicant anticipated that the most likely use of the Property would be
commercial development in conjunction with the adjacent property to the South2 (hereinafter
"Parcel 695"). Based upon the arguments set forth in the Request Letter submitted by the
Applicant, the County rezoned the Property HI as pail of the 2012 Rezoning.
Mistakes in 2012 Rezoning
The Applicant now contends that the HI zoning assigned to the Property as a result of the
2012 Rezoning constituted a good -faith mistake. The Applicant has submitted a Zoning
Ordinance Map Amendment Application respectfully requesting that the Property be rezoned
(i.e. down -zoned) from HI to RT.
As per Maryland case law, to sufficiently demonstrate "mistake" the petitioning party
must show that existing facts, or reasonable future projects or trends, were not taken into
consideration at the time of the zoning. See generally, Boyce v. Sgmbly 334 A.2d 137, 142-143
(Md. App. 1975); and White v. Spring, 109 Md. App. 692, 675 A. 2d 1023 (1996). Moreover,
with regard to the question of original mistake, "when the assumption upon which a particular
use is predicated proves, with the passage of time, to be erroneous, this is sufficient to authorize
a rezoning." Mayor and Council of Rockville v. Stone, 271 Md. 655, 662 (Md. 1974).
In this case, at the time of 2012 Rezoning, the County (and Applicant) did not take into
account (i) the existing fact that substantial road improvements would be necessary to make the
Property suitable for commercial development; and (ii) the existing fact that public water is
generally unavailable to the Property. In addition, the County's reliance upon the assumption
that the Property would most likely be developed in conjunction with Parcel 695 has proved to
be erroneous with the passage of time. These three (3) mistakes are set forth in greater detail
below.
Substantial Road Improvements
Access to and from the Interstate, suitable for large commercial vehicles, is a critical
component of commercial development consistent with HI zoning. As per the Washington
County zoning ordinance, HI zoning was established for commercial activities that "serve
highway travelers" and for uses "that have a need to be located near the interstate highway
system to facilitate access by a large number of employees, or the receipt or shipment ofgoods
by highway vehicles. "
Interstate access to and from the Property may be achieved from I-81 Exit 3 (Virginia
Ave) or 1-81 Exit 5 (Halfway Blvd). The Property is located 1.74 miles (9,189 L.F) from Exit 3
111159 Hopewell Road, Hagerstown, Maryland 21740 (Map 48, Parcel 245), which Is currently zoned HI.
2 36 +/- acres fronting Hopewell Road, Hagerstown, Maryland 21740, (Map 48, Parcel 695), which is currently

and 1.768 miles (9,338 L.F) from Exit 5. This distances from Exit 3 and Exit 5 are generally
described on the drawing attached as Exhibit 5. Access to the Property fi-om Exit 3 is the most
desirable; however, this route is restricted by the one -lane bridge4 on Hopewell Road located
near the intersection of Hopewell Road and Wright Road. Due to this one -lane bridge, access to
the Property from Exit 3 by large commercial vehicles would be impractical. Moreover, large
portions of Hopewell Road located between Exit 3 and Exit 5 consist of a narrow two-lane road
without shoulders. Specifically, a 2,981 L.F portion of Hopewell Road located between the
Property and Exit 5 lacks shoulders, and a 3,673 L.F. portion of Hopewell Road between the
Property and Exit 3 lacks shoulders. The lack of shoulders on large portions of Hopewell Road
makes access to the Property by large commercial vehicles impractical. Due to these existing
conditions, the Applicant contends Hopewell Road is currently inadequate for commercial
development of the Property consistent with HI zoning.
Following the 2012 Rezoning, the Applicant consulted an engineering firm for the
purpose of determining the extent of road improvements necessary to achieve commercial access
to and from the Interstate via Exit 3. The engineering firm produced the "Concept Plan"
attached as Exhibit 6 and Exhibit 7 and incorporated as part of this letter. The Concept Plan
reflects the construction of a new road of 4,750 L.F with an 80' R.O.W cutting through Parcel
695 and Parcel 245. The Concept Plan requires: (i) the crossing of a 100 year flood plain
(stations 11+50 thru 18+50); (ii) 548 L.F of stream realignment; (iii) the disturbance of 9,615 SY
of wetlands5 (stations 11+50 thru 18+50); (iv) the removal and relocation of portions of Wright
Road; and (v) the cooperation of the owner of Parcel 245. The forgoing are depicted on the
drawings attached as Exhibit 8 and Exhibit 9. The Applicant contends that the road
improvements depicted -on the Concept Plan would cost in excess of one million dollars
($1,000,000), and could be restricted or prohibited by environmental issues.
The Applicant also contends that Interstate access to and from the Property via Exit 5
would also require substantial road improvements. At a minimum, in order to accommodate
access by large commercial vehicles, shoulders would need to be added to the 2,981 L.F portion
of Hopewell Road between the Property and Exit 5. Moreover, the Applicant also anticipates that
upgrades to the railroad crossing located to the North of the Property would be likely.
In sum, the extent of the road improvements required for the commercial development of
the Property are largely impractical. The Applicant contends that the County (and Applicant)
made a good -faith mistake, by not considering the extent of road improvements that would be
required to make the Property suitable for commercial development, when it granted the HI
zoning in connection with the 2012 Rezoning.
General Lack ofPublic Water Service.
A consistent and reliable source of public water and sewer are critical components to
commercial development consistent with HI zoning. Reliance on a water well and/or septic
system for commercial development would be highly undesirable (if not impossible). While
public sewer service is available to the Property through the County, public water is generally
4 This one -lane bridge crosses Semple Run.
s Designated by the National Wetlands Inventory.
unavailable. Public water to the Property can only be provided by the City of Hagerstown (the
"City"). Unfortunately, the Property is located outside of the boundaries of the City's Medium -
Range Growth Area. Map 4-2: Water and Wastewater Priority Areas, depicting the Medium
Range Growth Area is attached as Exhibit 10. According to the City of Hagerstown Water and
Wastewater Policy (hereinafter the "Policy") the City "will not extend water or wastewater
services beyond the Medium -Range Growth Area" unless a special exception applies. A copy of
the Policy is attached as Exhibit 11.
At this time, the Property does not qualify for any special exception under the Policy.
The only possible route to obtaining public water from the City would be to qualify for the
"Economic Development Project" exception. However, given the relatively small size of the
Property, it is unlikely that a large scale industrial end user, with enough political clout to justify
the Policy exception, would have interest in the Property.
In sum, the Property's lack of access to public water makes commercial'development
consistent with HI zoning impractical. Conversely, reliance on water wells and/or septic systems
for light residential development consistent with RT zoning would not be impractical.
The Applicant contends that the County (and Applicant) made a good -faith mistake by not
considering the general unavailability of public water to the Property when it granted the HI
zoning in connection with the 2012 Rezoning.
Development Assumption Proved Erroneous with Passage of Time.
As set forth in the Request Letter, the Applicant originally assumed that the Property
would most likely be commercially developed in conjunction with Parcel 695. The County relied
(in -part) upon the Applicant's assumption when it granted the HI zoning in connection with the
2012 Rezoning. In the seven (7) plus years that have passed since the 2012 Rezoning, despite its
best efforts, the Applicant has had no success in procuring a commercial end user for the
Property or the Adjacent Parcel 695. This failure is largely attributable to the commercial
development issues described above (i.e. the requirement of extensive road improvements and
general lack of public water). In addition, family members of the Applicant have expressed
interest in building single family homes on the Property.
The issues associated with the commercial development, combined with the family
member's interest in utilizing the Property for residences, has caused the Applicant to abandon
its intent to commercially develop the Property. The Applicant contends that the original
assumption, that the Properly would be developed in conjunction with Parcel 695, has proved to
be erroneous with the passage of time. Therefore, the County's (and Applicant's) reliance upon
this errant assumption constitutes a good -faith mistake.
6 The Policy makes an exception for Economic Development Projects of an industrial and/or non -retail nature. The
proposed Economic Development Project requires recommendation of the County Commissioners, the City and
County Economic Development Directors, and the Directors of Utilities to, and approval by Mayor and Council.
Additional Material Facts Supporting Amendment
The Applicant respectfully requests that appropriate consideration be given to the
additional facts numerated below supporting the requested change in zoning from HI to RT.
1. Mr. and Mrs. Ebersole (whose primary residence is located on Lot 1) would like
to give their daughter and son-in-law (Samantha and Nick Bodnar) Lot 2 so that they may build a
single family home for their residence.
2. The Property is currently configured for residential use. In the year 2000, the
Applicant subdivided the Property into four (4) parcels intended for single family homes. Please
see the plat attached as Exhibit 1. The plat depicts future homes on Lot 2, Lot 3, and
Lot 4.
3. The 2012 Rezoning transformed the Ebersole residence upon Lot 1 into a
non -conforming use. The Rezoning of the Property from HI to RT will act to correct this
anomaly.
4. RT. zoning of the Property is appropriate and consistent with the surrounding
neighborhood. Numerous adjacent parcels located to the North and West are zoned RT. Please
see Exhibit 2.
Conclusion
The Applicant respectfully submits that a piecemeal rezoning of the Property is justified
due to good -faith mistakes; and that a change in the current zoning of HI to RT is appropriate.

Dear Sire:
My name Is William L, Rankin and I am writing In reference to The property
that I own at 16827 National Pike. Parcel ID numbsr24.003078. This property is
zoned'IG'. Every since 1 bought this property In 2002, there has been talk of
rezoning this area to 'HI 1'. 1 am asking you to vote on this and In fool change
this zoning to 'HI 1' For the following reasons:
Thebullding on this propoitywes put up around f972, and the business
was ttoland's Chain Saws. They also sold Cub Cadol lawn tractors. This was
defmllety a retail business. When 1 opened Ranliln's Used Golf Cada, I was told
that I could not operate a retail business because of Ihu'IG' zoning. It had to be
mraufacludag. Flnallythey allowed me to open because I did do some
rebuilding of golf carts.
Last eurmher 1 was forced to close that business due to Iha poor economy
and I lei my business license expire. Between my property taxes, insurance, and
electric bill, R costs me over $10,000 per yearjuel to keep this property and I
have no income at all. I have put my property on the markel for sale or lease, but
again the zoning has been a delerienL So, just to try and keep my head above
valor and pay these bills, mywife and 1 have decided to try and open a'Flea
Market'.
In hying to do the right thing and be a law abiding citizen we went to
Zoning to apply for a permit and license for Ilia Flea Market. Again ilia zoning
Issue came up. We cannot do stall business under'IG' zoningll Pointed out
j that this property has been retail for ilia lesl40 years, but I was told that the
{ zoning was forrranufacluring.I have talked with Leroy Myers, Ruth Anne
Callahan, and Robert Mandley about this problem. They have suggested that 1
write this request to you, end also attend the hearing set for July 2e at 7 Phi.
1 would like to point out that Boo feel west or my property tho'HI 1' zoning
Is present and continues to Howells Cross Roads. In that area there are many
retell businesses. Also, since I have been there, i have never recolvad any
complaints about my business, So I am requesting That Ilia zoning be changed to
'HI 1, If, for some reason this cannot be dono, I would ask that you issue n'text
amendment' as you did for the Washington County Free Library to allow me to
oonllnus my Flea Markel, Also I would request that you put me, on your agenda
to speak at the July 26" hearing.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours
f�lla,vflw

Water Resources Element
Introduction
This element establishes policies to guide theprovision of furore wastewater and water
service to, and the management of nonpoint source nutrient loading from the City and its
Medium -Range Orowth Area (MRGA). It complies with the Water Resources Element
requirements of Article 66B of the Annotated Coda of Maryland, §1.04.b.1 (ui)-as
modified by Maryland House Bill 1141, passed In 2006. Figure41 delineates water and
wastewater service arras in of 2007 (the baseline year for WRE data).
At the time of publication of this Water Resources Element, Washington County was
evaluating options to complete the countywide Winer Resources Element requirements.
The City anticipates working closely with the County to achieve their comma. Water
Resources goals. This Water Resources Element, adopted in 2010. replaces the Water and
Wastewater Element of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan.
Wastewater Service
Goals for Wastewater Service
1. Ensure that adequate wastewater capacity exists to serve future growth.
2. Consistently meet all regulatory requiremems to help protect public health and the
environment, in particular reducing the environmental impact on Andetam Creek.
Wastewater Issues Addressed by this Element
1. As a result of ntednginto a couseni judgment with the Maryland Department of the
Environment (MDE) in January 2005, the City must limit pmvislon of new
wastewater service until its wmiewaer treatment plat ()N'wTP) upgrades are
complete in 2011.
2. Upon resolution of the consent judgment, the City will have a limited supply of
unused sewage treatment capacity. The City must therefore maximum the efficiency
of its wastewater system, and needs to make long -ter wastewaterallocation
decisions that support its growth management and annexation policies.
3. State policy' Limits wmlewaler trea nenl capacity based on the total amount (or load)
of nitrogen and phosphorous discharged into a receiving water body. Hagerstown
discharges treated effluent into Antietam Creek. which is a tributary to the
Chesapeake Bay, and is thus subject to a nutrient discharge cap. Ilagerstown's
wastewater policy needs to focus on minimizing or reducing discharges.

Annexation and Water and Wastewater Service
As destibed in the RereorRelevant Policies section of the Plan IDtrOddctiOD, the 2009
Annexation Policy defines the mlationahip between annexodon and the provision of City
services, such as wassewater and wnkr service• tnordertorecciveneworexpanded
water, service, or pmptay owner mug agree m be anowced into the City. Property owners
outride of the Consolidated GSA's Designated Area (Figure 1-11) must also agree, to
snourstion in order to receive new or expandr4 wastewater service, subtle property
owners inside the Designated Area are exempt from this requirement for wastewater
service. Properties that cannot be amexed because they are mot adjacent to City
boundaries must sign nproannexadon agreement Some of these parcels art shown in
figure 2.4.
'11te 2008 Annexation Policy's goal is fro the City of Rogers[— to become the full
provider of municipal services is the Hagenlown UGA. Hagcalorm alrradyprovides
waterservice on the mdre UGA, ban the Annexadon Policy's god is nut likely to be
achieved for wastewater service.
Hagerstown and %Vrmhingtoa County have a Flow Transfer Ag[eeoseat that allows the
transfers of some wastewater flow from City wastewater collection system to the
Conocoeheague WW1P via the Newgate imareptor. Maximum use of the flow instanter
system mold enpture w much u 5,000 Equivalent DsvellingUnim (EDU 2 of upaeily For
the Hagerstown %VWTP, reducing unused capacity at the Conomcheague W WPP by an
equal amount' Approximately 300.000 gallons per day (gpd) of wastewa[er are comedy

The City included a "sunset' cleuse in the Flow Transfer Ape meal, whereby all but a
small amount of the Flow Transfer Sys km $ capacity would be tetud»ed to the City upon
expiration of the Flow Transfer Agreement in 2023.
Limitations on Current Wastewater PAtocetlon
Hagerslown'a ability to grant new wastewater service was significantly limited when the
City entered into a ConsenlJudgmeat with the Maryland Department of the Eavimnmeal
(MDE) on January 12, 2005.The Consent Judgment came in response to a suits of
discharge violations that had allowed partially treated waslewatcc to tnkr Antietam
Creek from the Hsgemstosn W TP. The Consent Judgment identifies specific project
to resolve Inflow and InCduation and treatment problems in the City's collection system
and upgrade the W W1P's headworks and disinfection systems. As part Globs state'$ Bay
Restoration legislation, the City must also implement ENR at the facility. Dating these
upgrades, the City will also expand the MVTP's capacity to 10.5 MGD. This capacity
camesponds to the 1VR7P's noruicnt discharge cap (see discussion below).

Wastewater System Overview
Hagerstown provides wastewater treatment service a all customers within the City's
corporate boundaries, u well u some unincoaporated portions cif Washiogtoa County.
The Commlidated General Sell— Agreement of 1997 (GSA) delineates the postions of
the County that reeelve, selvage treatment service from Hageaslowa. This agreement is
described in tha Receat Relevant Policies aecdon of the Plan Introduction,
Wilhin Hageaslowm's corporate boundaries, sewage [tows through approximately 140
miles of City -owned wastewater lines and 27 pumping stations, and is mated at the
Hagerstown Wastewater Tseaament Plan (WWJP). The Hagerstown WNVTP is loomed
on Antietam Creek near Frederick Street, and bar a aunent design capacity of 8.0 million
golions perday(MOD). Itdischarges to Antietam Creek (via a sbuatsegmenl of an
unnamed tributary). Annual average daily flow between 2005 and 2007 was 6.9911GD,
although this figure includes a substantial volume of Inflow and Infiltration (Vlyee
discussion below). After upgradesore complemd in 2010, the Hagerstown W WTV will
process wastewater using Embanced Nutrient Removal (ENR) technology, the best
available technology far reducing the nitrogen and phosphorus concemtradons in
discharged effluent.
Portions of On Hagerstown Urban Growth Area (UGA—collectively the City, Medivas-
Range and Loog-Term Gmwtb Arm), arc served by Washington County's

lire end of 2011. Some flows from Hagerstown are also transferred to the
Conocochrague WWrP per the Flow TtansfecAgreement(see discussion below). The
(Sty and the County may continue to 1mk for additional flows that could be transferred in
the future. Figure 4-1 shows Ore areas saved by the Hagerstown And Conococlicagae
plans. As the 6gurc shows, the Hagentown WSVTP totals all sewage from the City, our
well as some are4s outside the corporate boundmun. In these uutaeorporrred areas,
orsauship of wastewater lines is split between the City and Washington County.
]ire City does out allow new wastewater tOWIECODD5 outside of the 2008 Annexation
Policy Area (the 2002 Hagerstown VGA), ucept in specific circumstances set forth in
the City's Annexation Policy and in Water and Wastewater Policy (see the Recent
Relevant Policies section of the Plan Introduction). Thtst exceptions include case
where the ston•m rriclpal water or wastewater system dues not meet healtls and safety
standards —such as failing septic syslems—cases where service extension won] of
improve systems -wide operations or efficiency.

Ciry of Hagerstown. Maryland 2001 Comprehe,ssim Plan
While. WWTP upgrades — being implemented, the Consent Judgmaol requires
Hagerstown to set separate annual limit on allocations of new, wastewater treatment
capacity for new development and existingdevelopmeat Existing development is
defined as development project in the City or Washington County that received site plan
or final plot approval prior to January 12, 2005, infill lot, and incarnated service to
existing son.residential cuslomcm.
Tito City prepares and submit to MDE an annual Sewer Capacity Allocation Plow
(SCAP) to guide the allocation of new rapacity. For sew development the Consent
Judgment caps annual new allocadons at t20,000 gallons per day (GPD). Tbc 2009
SCAP (the most recent available) divides this aliacadon into four categories:
I. Discretionary res o--City and County pmjret(15.000 GPD)
if. Couatypmjrm(25,000'GPD)
IN. City residential projects (50,000 GPD)r
Iv. City non -re ddendal project (30.000 GPD)
The CousentJodgmem doer not specifically cap allocations for existing devclopmeoL
The 2009 SCAP allocates 116.00D GPD for existing development, diiided into three
categories:
i. County project (46,000 GPD)
IL City uesidmdal projects(40.000 (APD)
ice. City nee-rtsidmtial pmjecla (30.000 GPD)
In(loW and Infiltration Concerns
Upgrades to the City'a%VAVTP"Improvements to thecollection system will intswac
the treatment capaeiry of Hagerstown's wastewater system. These upgrades and
improvement will particularly help toreduce the loge volumes of stomlwruer and
groundwater that enter the City's collection system, causing On system to experience,
high flow rates. In 2003, far example, wastewater customers, discharged an average of 4.A
MOD into the swage collection system, but the actual flows )ate On W WTP averaged
11.2 MGD—blgher than the plant's 8.D MGD capacity as the time. In especially wet
weather, Ibis flow has peaked at 30 MGD s
This undesired exnancous flow, known as "Inflow and Infiltration" (M), lakes up
wastewater system opacity that should be reserved only for wa seiner, effeedvely
limiting the system's overall capacity. Much of the El flow is caused by damaged
xvastewmer litter or lealdng manhole covers. In come cases, roof drains and sump pumps
ore also illegally cowrcted la the wauewater coUeMion system inslesd of the storm
water collection system. The City estimates that eppaximAtely 1400(1,OM gpd (5,0W
JEDU) of Irl flows were present in the wastewater collection system in 2007, of which as
' $00 gpd ¢arc rnrwerd due la nsvrege iax0os.

Water Service Issues Addressed by this Element
1. Recent growth in Hagerstown and ire surrounding communities hat incrwcd water
demand requiring an evaluation of and potential upgrades to the fity's water
tuettmentand disuibutioninfmstructore.
Water System Overview
The City of Hagerstowu is the primaryprovider of potable water to all ruideofid,
commercial, and industrial customers in 1heHagersmwn UGA, a well as some
customets outside the UGA, puiiculariy in the blardns Crossroads area. Hagerstown
also provides potable water to the towns of Smltinbwg, Williamsport, and Fualslown
whieb own, operate, and maintain their own disUabulloo systems. The waver servicearea
u of 2007 (excluding Smitbsburg), is chovn in Fgare 4-1.
The City owns and operates two potable water treatment plants: the R.C. Willson rout
(WTP) and the \Y.hL Breichner Plant (BTP). The WTI' draws its water from the
Potomac River in TVilgastutport. and is the City's main source of water. %VTP has a
maximum treatmenteapaciay of 20 MGD, with a permiutd appropriation for surface
water from ibe Porootac Riverof IS MOD. However, the WTP's transmission Bum can
only awevas odate 13.5 MOD. The HIP draws its water from the Fdgemont Reservoir
near Sanithsbdrg, and is primarily used to supplement production during high demand
periods and when system maintenance reduces available supplies from the 1V7P. The
BTP bas a mnxihoum mtalmaol eapsrlty of 4.5 MOD and a permitted appropriation for
surface wafer from theEdgemont Reservoir of 700,000 gpd.
The City's was" distribution system is comprised of approximately 400 miles of water
mains. Currently, drew are over 2,000 firs hydrants throughout the distribution system,
used for both the suppression and system maintenance.
in 2003, Hagerstown produced and delivered I I MGD of water, almost all of which was
drawn froth the Potomac R)vm Gf that total, Il pemenL (approximately 1.98 hf(ID) is
"unaccounted for" or system water loss —water that is distributed but notmsed at a
metered location. This is in excess of the 10 percent system water lea benchmark
established by MDB policies.

Not to the adoption of The2009 Comprehensive Plan, the City carmnided water service

Annexation Policy. As of Doeember 31, 20M. outstanding commitments remain for
approximately 1.690 dwelling unite (338,000 gpd) end approximately 22 EDU's (4,407

as adequacy or mitigation program approval under the County Adequate Public Faciudes
Ordinance, peouri ing construction in begin In die near future as the ahength of the
housing ro arket permits.
While the Plan recommends that no additional nets, service be provided beyond the
MRGA before 2038, a possible exception is identified for employment centers in the
County's cc000mJc development target areas at the Airport and Friendship Tecbndosy
Perk (I-70 at )ID 632). If the City and The County determine that the provision of water
service is critical for projects in the target arras and therefore adopt special service
agreements for these areas, the anticipated demand for water servict from the
undeveloped land in the two target areas, as of August 200$ is approximately 175 EDU's
(350 vacant sacs at Friendship and 10D vacant acres at the Airport with an estimate

Annexation and Water service
As described in the Recent Relevant Policies section of the Plan Introduction, the 2008
Annexation Pohey defines the relatiomhip between annexation and the provision of
water service. In order to receive new or expanded water service, a property owner must
agree to be annexed into IhaCky. Properties that crosnot be annexed because they me not
adjacent to Ciry boundaries must sign a preanaexation agreunen4 Some of these parrels
are shown in Figure 2.4,
Projected Water Demand and Capacity
The Hagerstown watersystere Ices adequate capacity to meet current water demand: the
combined water treatment appropriation for the WTP and BTP Is 15.7 MOD, white peek
daily water demand is 13 MOD during summer months (fuly-September). Average
annual daily demand is it I.IOD.
The demands for senice on the Hagerstown water supply are anticipated to increase as
the gmwib of nearby towns creates additional water demand. Table 4-6 sbows the permit
and usage atfivity for the tbree towns cumnily utilizing the Hagerstown water supply.
Hagerstown anticipates that the To" of Smithsburg wilt request additional water
allocations from than doubling the Tower's current allocation) its order to semmmodate
the growth projections in their 20DI Comprehensive Plan. Holh fdtnkstown and
Williamsport have experienced minimal growth in recent years (the average dotty water
usage to 2007 was npproximaldy 60% of p—tided withdrawal) and era not anticipating
substantial growth is Lhe narfutarc This suggests that existing waterpermitellocation

As the City accommodates the growth demands of Smtbshurg and explores the
provision of water service to otber towns with water deficiencies in our region, the
demands on the Hagerstown water supply could increase further.
Potential Ultimate Water Demand and Capacity
While existing water supplies ere adequate to serve some projected development, they ere
not adequate to serve the total potential development (i.e.,'buildom") In the City and
MRGA. Table 4-8 shows a potential dofelt of approximately 16,237 EDU (or 3.2 MOD).
In addition, the Infrastntctume Commission report shows a deficit of mom than 27,000
EDUs throughout lhsUGA (including the City, MRGA, and LRGA). Buildout would
not occurnotil wellbeyond 2028 (if al all). However, it is important to highlight this
imbalance so that Washington County—wbme zenmg regulations govern the bfRGA—
can use is own WRB to evaluate and, if o cearton alter laud use policies in the hIRGA.

row wider appropriation, and upgraded treatment and distribution systems will be needed.
In addition, [he following projects in the City's apitat Improvement Program can
improve overall system efficiency and narrow the gap between buildoul demand and
supply.

Wafer Conservation
Water conservation is a low-cost option for extending the fife of existing water supplies.
The Maryland Water Conservation Plumbing Fixtures Act (MWCPFA) requires that new
plumbing fixtures sold or installed as part of rasv cousuuction am designed to cousme,
water. Future efforts to upgrade the watts distribution system will conuibute to water
conservation by reducing system water loss due to leaks.
Beyond these regulatory requirements And major capital projecu, We City could also
proactively promote water conservation through a concerted public eduation program,

FSD ud ether stormwaler management policies contained in the Stormtvaler
Mnagement Act of 2007.
As one of Maryland's oldest cities, Hagerstown is a location that the state's longstanding
Smart Growth policies identifies as otherwise ideal for mew development and
redevelopment. Although the City intends ro comply with (be 2007 Act, thereare
substantial concern that We 2007 SLarinwater Act and subsequent guidance published by
MDE may inhibit edcvelopmem in Hagerstown.
The 2007 Act requires "new" development to meet substantially more stringent

In addition, the City is renamed about application of new FSD standards to multi -phase
developments. In many of [hest eases, site -wide smmewater systems that compiled with
previous mormwatu regulations have already been instilled, and overall project
financing is based no the previous generadon of moranwater requirements. Requiring
such developments to change long-established infraswemre, designs mould make such
pmjeets financially infeasible, thus discouraging otherwise sortable development
While the City appreciates and supports the &[ace's overall intend on of reducing nmpoint
source pollution of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, it is the City's contention that
seine reduction of tmakou and otherpollumnts (as would he achieved with less stringent
stormwaty requirunents) is preferable to no improvemant At aD (es would be the case if

Goals for Nutrient Loading
1. Enure chat the Ciry's env)ronmeaml and development ordinances reflect the most
recent state stonnwater and oodpolnt source pollution policies.
2. Use monpoint aoura nvtrient modeling to godde the location, amount, and type of
development in and —ad the City.
Nutrient Loading Issues Addressed by this Element
1. Sure regulation regarding slornw•ater ata0agrunemt have been updated since
adoption ofthe 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The Cicy'adevelopmemto[dfnantes
should be updated to reflect state policy.
2. Development in Hagerstown and [be surrounding communities contributes nonpoirn,

important to esdmate this nutrient lending and the effect dim future development
could have on water quality.
Programmatic Assessment of Nonpoint Source Poltcles
Nonpoint sources (NPS) ofuonitot pollution include smrmwater runoff from roads and
lawns, erosion and sediment from construction, agricultural sunff, atmospheric
deposition, and say other source other than an ootfall pipe. These sowces ere called
noopoitil because they involve widely dispersed Activities, and hence ere difficult to
mea.ule. Ali ran -point sourcesofpoltotion eventually reach the waists of the
Chesapeake Bay unless filleted oc raained by some structural system or non-stuctuml
techniques.
Nsibienl reduction technologies for nonpaint source pollution are generally referred 10 as
'Best Mnagement Puctlas' (BhIPS). Examples of these lechoongnm can include
vegetated (or "green") roofs, brorournion areas within landscaping beds, permeable
pavement, and erosiom controls. Non-structural eonrols, such as vegetated butfots
around streams and at the edge ofpaved areas, are awasnaly effective in redociog the
amount of pouummts that reach waterways.

Impervious Surface Coverage
Impervious surfaces arc primarily human-modesurfac", such m roads, moRops. and
sidewalks, which do not allow rainwater to toter die ground. The amount of impervious
surface Ina watershed is akey indicator of water quality. In areas wish large amounts of
impervious surface, stormwater leads to carry larger loads of pollutants (including, but
not limited to enuients) late nelrby siremu. at bigher vclumts, contributing to excess
erosion and high" water 4mperamres. Wet ipsi ily in streems unds to decliot as
impervious surfaces approach seven to ten percent of the total area of a watersbed. Water
quality drops shatply as impervious surface approaches 25 potent of a given watershed.

As night be etpeUed in a developed area, impervious surface percentages in lbe MRGA

However, a few factors must be considered. Fint, the MRGA accounts forless than LS
percent o€ the Intel combined area of Lho Aatctem Qeel.•, Cormcecheague Caeek, and
Marsh Run watersheds. Second, the adverse envimmucnnl impacts of impervious

SUBJECT: Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchase (INTG-20-0038) – Lease/Purchase of One (1)
Used D8T Dozer and One (1) New Excavator for Solid Waste Department
PRESENTATION DATE: August 25, 2020
PRESENTATION BY: Rick Curry, CPPO, Director of Purchasing and Dave Mason, P. E., Deputy
Director of Solid Waste Department
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize by Resolution, the Solid Waste Department to
purchase one (1) used CAT D8T Waste Handler Dozer, and one (1) new CAT 336 Excavator from
Carter Machinery Company, Inc. of Baltimore, MD and to utilize another jurisdiction’s contract
(#032119-CAT) that was awarded by Sourcewell (formerly National Joint Powers Alliance) to
Caterpillar, Inc. and contingent upon approval of the final Lease Agreement by the County Attorney’s
Office.
Equipment Vendor Bid Amount
One Used (1) D8T Carter Machinery Annual Lease
Dozer Waste Handler Company, Inc. Payment for 5 Years
Baltimore, MD $170,820.66 / Yr.
One New (1) 336 Carter Machinery Annual Lease
Excavator Company, Inc. Payment for 5 Years
Baltimore, MD $84,231.89 / Yr.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The department has rented equipment from various companies to handle
emergency situations and equipment breakdowns. Depending on the pump size, delivery, pick-up
charges and the duration of the situation the rental fees can be expensive. The proposed dozer and
excavator will meet the department’s needs in handling the day-to-day operations; the units are
designed to be used in waste handling operations. With the lease/purchase of the dozer and excavator
the department will realize a savings in having the units readily available. The equipment will perform
functions such as increasing production because the unit will be available 24/7 and the department will
experience less downtime as well. The dozer, excavator and articulated dump truck will replace four
(4) existing pieces of equipment; a 2000 model year, CAT 400E Articulated Dump Truck, 2002 model
year John Deere 850K Crawler, 2015 model year 330LX Link Belt Excavator, and a 2002 model year
CAT 621F Motor Scrapper (motor grader). The existing equipment will not be sold on GovDeal
because the equipment was used as a trade-in against the purchase of the new/used equipment.
The Code of the Public Laws of Washington County, Maryland (the Code) §1-106.3 provides that the
Board of County Commissioners may procure goods and services through a contract entered into by
another governmental entity, in accordance with the terms of the contract, regardless of whether the
Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland
Agenda Report Form
County was a party to the original contract. If the Board of County Commissioners determines that
participation by Washington County would result in cost benefits or administrative efficiencies, it could
approve the purchase of the equipment in accordance with the Code referenced above by resolving that
participation would result in cost benefits or in administrative efficiencies. The County will benefit
with direct cost savings in the purchase of the equipment because of the economies of scale this large
buying group Sourcewell has leveraged.
DISCUSSION: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $350,000 are budgeted in the department’s account 21-
21020
CONCURRENCES: Division Director of Environmental Management
ALTERNATIVES: Do not award the purchase of the equipment.

SUBJECT: Student Learning Center
PRESENTATION DATE: August 25, 2020
PRESENTATION BY: Andrew Eshleman, Director of Public Works; Jaime Dick, Deputy
Director of Public Works, Parks & Recreation
RECOMMENDED MOTION: To be determined
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Many local schools will start the year in a distance learning platform,
including Washington County Public Schools. For many essential County personnel teleworking
will not be an option, and therefore, those employees may need to seek alternate arrangements
for their children to participate in order for them to perform their job duties.
The idea was preliminary presented during Commissioner Staff Comments on August 18 due to
a need and interest from employees affected by distance learning that are not afforded the same
flexibility as employees who can telework. Those Divisions include Emergency Services,
Sheriff’s Office, Environmental Management, Public Works, Plan Review and Permitting, and
Construction, however the service could be used by other County Divisions as well.
The County has qualified part time staffing in its Parks and Recreation Department to support
one distance learning center with up to 15 participants. Volunteer participation could be used for
special activities, but the background and clearance process could not be completed in time for
volunteers to assist with operating the program in lieu of staff. It is not anticipated that the
County could scale this service in the time needed to offer multiple group sites for the public
when schools start August 31.
DISCUSSION: The cost to operate a student learning center operating 10 hours a day is
approximately $2,200 week. The preferred location is anticipated to be in the downtown office
buildings including the computer lab. Staff would provide before school care and will move into
distance learning support from 9-3 with a break for lunch. After school care and activities would
be provided to the end of the work day. The County would follow the policies and procedures
that were in place for its Summer Camp Program related to COVID and social distancing
measures.
For the program to be cost neutral to operate for the County, full participation would be required
and a daily or weekly fee equivalent to $150/ week per student charged. After following up with
multiple interested employees, this cost is too high to ensure that all available spots would be
filled and that the program would be self-supporting. For reference, the subsidized County
Summer Recreation Camp program fee is $75/ week.

Agenda Report Form
Other local Student Learning Centers offer similar services around the $150/ week per child rate,
and due to greater scale in enrollment numbers can also accommodate a wider range of operating
hours that would be needed for our employees’ work schedules. It is not anticipated that the
program would be successful as a service to County employees versus other options at the $150/
week rate. A fee around $75/ week would need to be considered and the program offered as an
employee benefit to level the playing field for those employees that can’t telework for the service
to be preferred versus other available options.
Each employee’s family, work, and childcare situation is unique. In the absence of an
employee’s children participating in a supervised home or supported learning center, employees
should communicate with their supervisor any special requests or considerations that may need
to be considered so job responsibilities are still fulfilled. If the employee anticipates taking
extended leave they shall coordinate with their Department Director and Human Resources to
complete the necessary Families First Coronavirus Response Act paperwork. In some instances it
may be in the employees’ best financial interest to take the extended paid family leave versus
working and paying for the cost of childcare.
FISCAL IMPACT: $2200/week with offsetting revenue depending on enrollment fee and
participation.
CONCURRENCES: County Administrator, HR
ALTERNATIVES: Do not provide the service; employees enroll in program offered elsewhere
or take extended leave
