MINUTES OF THE
HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY
November 3, 2021

November 3, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. at the Washington County Administrative Complex, 100 W. Washington
Street, Room 2001, Hagerstown, Maryland.
CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
The Chairman called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
Commission members present were: Greg Smith, Chairman, Lloyd Yavener, Vice Chairman, Ann Aldrich,
Vernell Doyle, Michael Lushbaugh, and Edie Wallace. 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.
MINUTES
Motion and Vote: Mr. Yavener made a motion to approve the minutes of the October 6, 2021 meeting
as presented. The motion was second by Ms. Aldrich and unanimously approved.
NEW BUSINESS
Demolition Permit 2021-04260 —16822 National Pike
Ms. Jenkins presented for review a demolition permit application for property located at 16822 National
Pike also known as the JR Fridinger/Dickinson Farm. The application is proposing the demolition of 2
dwellings, 2 barns, 2 garages, and 2 sheds. The property is currently zoned PI (Planned Industrial). Ms.
Jenkins noted that the property owner has acknowledged there have been some significant changes over
time to the original structure, such as: the roofline of the main house, an addition to the rear of the house,
and interior renovations; however, all buildings appear to be in good condition and sound. She noted that
the State Highway Administration will require an entrance permit if the site develops which will require a
Section 106 review of the property. MHT will be involved in the Section 106 review.
Mr. Mark Dickinson, property owner, Trevor Frederick from Frederick, Seibert & Associates, the
consultant, and Joe Franek and Brian Stahl from Northpoint Development were present at the meeting.
Mr. Dickinson stated that most of the interior was recreated in the 1980s with the exception of the stone
walls which were original to the house as referenced in the Maryland Inventory of Historical Places. He
noted that Northpoint Development has offered various aspects of the structures to individuals for
repurposing, such as the stone from the walls. Mr. Dickinson stated that some of the stone will be
repurposed on site by Northpoint at the entrance. The owners of Rockland Estates on Sharpsburg Pike
have expressed an interest in some of the stone to build a monument on their property recognizing the
Underground Railroad. They have also expressed an interest in 3 or 4 doors in the house and barn
materials to repair the bank barn on Rockland Estates. Northpoint Development has agreed to honor
these requests and to donate the materials to Rockland Estates. Mr. Dickinson stated that if other people
are interested in repurposing parts of the structures, he would be willing to coordinate those efforts.
Mr. Dickinson explained restrictions on the property which make it necessary to demolish the structures
in order to meet the needs of the proposed development. He noted that the property between the two
buildings is bisected by a high voltage power line subject to an easement of 100 feet in width on each
side. On the west side, there is a stream which borders the property. Northpoint Development will retain
28 acres of forest on the northwest side of the property to meet Forest Conservation mitigation
requirements. Therefore, this portion of the property will not be developed.
Mr. Dickinson noted that Northpoint Development has entered into a pre -annexation agreement with the
City of Hagerstown. Extension of water and sewer services would serve an additional 29 properties. He
believes the proposed development would create a great economic benefit for the County and its citizens
by creating jobs and a generous tax base of more than $1 million per year.
Mr. Brian Stahl and Mr. Trevor Frederick briefly discussed the current stage of construction. A grading
permit was applied for in August 2021. A mass grading plan has been submitted to the County and is
currently under review. The grading permit should be approved and issued in December. A site plan will
then be submitted to the County in the Spring of 2022. Building permits and SHA widening work should
start in the late spring of next year. A traffic impact study has been completed and has been approved by
both the State and the County. This study generated some off -site improvements which Northpoint is in
the process of completing as part of this project.
Mr. Frederick explained that Northpoint has applied for a permit through MDE for work within the
wetlands buffer and FEMA flood plain. Public notices have been sent to neighboring property owners.
Permits from MDE are expected by the end of November or December. A permit from SHA will be required
for the two proposed entrances.
Discussions: There was a brief discussion regarding the Section 106 review. Commission members
expressed concern that the buildings would be demolished and the project would be abandoned thereby
leaving the County without its historic resource. The applicant does not foresee any obstacles that would
cause them to abandon the project.
Commission members were also concerned that the MHT review would not happen before the structures
are demolished. The MHT review would provide a more thorough investigation of the property and its
history. There was a brief discussion between the applicants and the Commission members regarding a
pro -active approach of obtaining all information that would be necessary for the MHT review and moving
forward with the review process ahead of the SHA permit application process.
Motion and Vote: Mr. Yavener made a motion to support the demolition permit with the understanding
that the Section 106 review will occur prior to demolition of the structures, if possible. The motion was
seconded by Ms. Doyle and unanimously approved.
MD SHA Consultation, Bridge 2100200, Project No. 23878
Ms. Jenkins presented a request from MD SHA to review the proposed removal of graffiti from Bridge No.
2100200, MD 34 over the Potomac River and the C & O Canal National Historic Park (NR-12/MIHP No. WA -
VI -48). The State is seeking concurrence from the HDC that there will be no adverse effects on the historic
properties and an acknowledgement of MDOT SHA's de minimis finding of concurrence.
Motion and Vote: Ms. Aldrich made a motion to support the removal of graffiti from Bridge No. 2100200
as presented. The motion was seconded by Ms. Wallace and unanimously approved.

the County and Town growth areas. Members have been asked to review this list to determine if
there are any properties we should actively seek out for the HP overlay and contact the property
owners.
Discussion: Members discussed the potential problems in the demolition permit process that were
encountered at this evening's meeting. Members believe there should be a joint meeting with the HAC
to discuss these issues prior to having a workshop with the BOCC in order to present a united front.

work under this Agreement with the Contractor. The Contractor will provide shop drawings, samples, product data or
other information provided for in this Agreement, where necessary.
4. Subcontractor: Selected by the Contractor, except that the Contractor will not employ any Subcontractor to whom
the Owner(s) may have a reasonable objection, nor will the Contractor be required by the Owner(s) to employ any
Subcontractor to whom the Contractor has a reasonable objection.
5. Work by Owner or Other Contractor: The Owner(s) reserves the right to perform work related to the project, but
which is not a part of this Agreement, and to award separate contracts in connection with other portions of the project
not detailed in this Agreement. All Contractors and Subcontractors will be afforded reasonable opportunity for the
storage of materials and equipment by the Owner(s) and by each other. Any costs arising by defective or ill-timed
work will be borne by the responsible party.
6. Binding Arbitration: Claims or disputes relating to the Agreement or General Provisions will be resolved by the
Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the America Arbitration Association (AAA) unless both parties mutually
agree to other methods. The notice of the demand for arbitration must be filed in writing with the other party to this
Agreement and with the AAA and must be made in a reasonable time after the dispute has arisen. The award
rendered by the arbitrator(s) will be considered final and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with
applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
7. Cleanup and Trash Removal: The contractor will keep the Owner(s) residence free from waste or rubbish resulting
from the work. All waste, rubbish, tools, construction materials, and machinery will be removed promptly after
completion of the work by the contractor.
8. Time: With respect to the scheduled completion of the work, time is of the essence. If the contractor is delayed at any
time in the progress of work by change orders, fire, labor disputes, acts of God or other causes beyond the
contractor's control, the completion schedule for the work or affected parts of the work may be extended by the same
amount of time caused by the delay. The contractor must begin work no later than 30 days after loan closing and will
not cease work for more than 30 consecutive days and completion of the work will be no more the 180 days/6 months
from the date of closing.
9. Payments and Completion: Payments may be withheld because of: (1) defective work not remedied; (2) failure of
Contractor to make proper payments to subcontractors, workers, or suppliers; (3) persistent failure to carry out work in
accordance with this Agreement or these general conditions; or (4) legal claims. Final payment will be due after
complete release of any and all liens arising out of the contract or submission of receipts or other evidence of
payment covering all subcontractors or suppliers who could file such a lien. The Contractor agrees to indemnify the
Owner(s) against such liens and will refund all monies including costs and reasonable attorney's fees paid by the
Owner(s) in discharging the liens. A 10 percent holdback is required by the Lender to assure the work has been
properly completed and there are no liens on the property.
10. Protection of Property and Persons: The Contractor is responsible for initiating, maintaining, and supervising all
necessary or required safety programs. The Contractor must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances,
orders or laws or federal, state, county or local governments. The Contractor will indemnify the Owner(s) for all
property loss or damage to the Owner(s) caused by his/her employees or his/her direct or subtier subcontractors.
11. Insurance: The contractor will purchase and maintain such insurance necessary to protect from claims under workers
compensation and from any damage to the Owner(s) property resulting from the conduct of this contract.
12. Changes in the Contract: The Owner(s) may order changes, additions or modifications (using form HUD -92577 —
Request for Acceptance of Changes) without invalidating the contract. Such changes must be in writing, signed by the
Owner(s), and accepted by the Lender. Not all change order requests may be accepted by the Lender; therefore, the
Contractor proceeds at his/her own risk if work is completed without an accepted change order. The new repair item
must also be included in the allowable repair items.
13. Correction of Deficiencies: The Contractor must promptly correct any work of his/her own or his/her subcontractors
found to be defective or not complying with the terms of the contract.
14. Warranty: The Contractor will provide a one-year warranty on all labor and materials used in the rehabilitation of the
property. This warranty must extend one year from the date of completion of the contract or longer if prescribed by law
unless otherwise specified by other terms of this contract. Disputes will be resolved through the Construction Industry
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
