MINUTES OF THE
HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY
April 2, 2025
The Washington County Historic District Commission held its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday,
April 2, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in the Washington County Administrative Complex, 100 W Washington Street,
Room 2001, Hagerstown, MD.
CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
The Chairman called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
Commission members present were: Lloyd Yavener, Chairman; Ann Aldrich, Michael Lushbaugh, Justin
Bedard, Tyler Milam, and Greg Smith (arrived at 6:42 pm). Staff members present were: Washington
County Department of Planning & Zoning: Meghan Jenkins, GIS Coordinator and HDC Staff member and
Debra Eckard, Office Manager.
MINUTES
Motion and Vote: Ms. Aldrich made a motion to approve the minutes of the March 5, 2025 meeting as
amended. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bedard and unanimously approved.
NEW BUSINESS
13215 Smithsburg Pike [2025-006321 Permit Application
Ms. Jenkins presented a residential addition -alteration permit application for property located at 13215
Smithsburg Pike. The majority of the renovations will be to the interior of the structure; however, the
permit also includes a few exterior renovations, which includes rebuilding of the front stoop, replacement
of the roofing material, and reconstruction of the previous dormer on the cottage. The proposed materials
are consistent with the existing house. The dormer windows will be of similar scale and design of the
existing windows in the house. Staff recommends approval of the permit application as presented.
Motion and Vote: Mr. Lushbaugh made a motion to recommend approval of the permit application as
presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bedard and unanimously approved.
22420 Old Georgetown Road [2025-009091 Permit Application
Ms. Jenkins presented a residential addition -alteration permit application for property located at 22420
Old Georgetown Road. Staff believes the application is consistent with the applicable Secretary of Interior
Standards for new construction as well as the County's Design Guidelines and the design criteria listed in
the County's Zoning Ordinance. The environment will be unimpaired by the structure's removal. There
will be no impact on contributing structures in the Rural Village and the design is compatible in form, scale
and proportion with existing structures in the neighborhood. The building setbacks are consistent with
the previous structure. Staff recommends approval of the permit application as presented.
Motion and Vote: Ms. Aldrich made a motion to recommend approval of the permit application as
presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lushbaugh and unanimously approved.
1230 Mount Aetna Road [2025-010801 Demolition
Ms. Jenkins presented a demolition permit application for property located at 1230 Mount Aetna Road.
The applicant stated in his application that there is a squatter on the property and he wishes to remove
the structure. The property includes a smaller house and several other outbuildings that are not proposed
for demolition at this time. Ms. Jenkins noted there is a preliminary consultation on file for the property.
She asked the property owner, Mr. Wieland, if there is any intent to pursue the development of the
property. Mr. Wieland stated it would be possible to have a small house on the property, but it is doubtful.
Ms. Jenkins noted that the demolition contractor, Mr. Merrbaugh, has indicated that he has spoken to his
regular sources regarding re -use of materials in the structure; however, no one has expressed any interest.
Ms. Jenkins explained she has not received any information from the property owner or from any of her
research that this property has any historic significance with any person or event. In 1978, the property
owner at the time indicated that the structure was of the pre -Civil War era; however, there are no records
to confirm this claim. The current property owner believes that the structure was built sometime between
1910 and 1920. Ms. Jenkins noted there are some materials that could be salvaged and reused such as
the windows, slate from the roof, and possibly some of the pillars. Mr. Wieland stated that he explored
the option of having the house dismantled prior to demolition; however, the cost would be $45,000 which
he cannot afford. It is his intent to remove the sashes, doors, and other smaller items prior to demolition.
Mr. Bedard asked if the inventory could be updated so there is a more complete history of the structures.
Ms. Jenkins suggested she could contact MHT to see if she can submit updated photos for the record. Mr.
Wieland expressed his willingness to also contribute photos.
Motion and Vote: Mr. Bedard made a motion to support the demolition permit with the updated photos
being supplied for the inventory. The motion was seconded by Ms. Aldrich and unanimously approved.
[Mr. Smith arrived at 6:42 p.m.]
Draft of Town MOU for Historic Structures Review
Ms. Jenkins presented the draft MOU for historic structure review for municipalities. This would allow the
HDC to review tax credit applications for citizens within the municipalities. Mr. Bedard noted one
typographical error in the introduction paragraph.
There was a brief discussion how to implement the MOU after its approval by the BOCC. Members
suggested inviting the municipalities to attend a meeting to introduce the program, discuss the benefits
to homeowners within the municipalities, and how the program would be implemented. It was also
suggested that we follow-up with a letter to all the municipalities.
Consensus: It is the consensus of the members to forward the draft MOU to the Board of County
Commissioners with the one change as noted by Mr. Bedard.
OTHER BUSINESS
Preservation Month 2025
• Christiana from Preservation Maryland has agreed to provide a presentation entitled
"Researching Your Historic Property". This presentation will be held at the Hagerstown Public
Library at 5:30 p.m. on May 7th in room 304. The presentation will be promoted on the County's
website. Ms. Jenkins suggested moving the regular meeting of May 7th to the Library to be held
immediately following the presentation.
Consensus: Hold the regular meeting of the HDC on May 7th at the Library following the
presentation, which begin at 5:30 p.m.
• The County Commissioners will present a proclamation on May 6th for Historic Preservation
Month.
• The Public Relations Department will help to create a historic scavenger hunt. Members discussed

• Photos of members at a historic structure are due by April 18th to Ms. Jenkins.
Correspondence
Ms. Jenkins reminded members there have been two initial tax credit applications received. She has
contacted the applicants regarding their applications and the deadline for submission in order to receive
tax credits in the coming fiscal year. The applicants stated they are not ready to file their final applications.
The Lehman's Mill cell tower project is moving forward. A site plan has been submitted to the Department
of Planning & Zoning. This project was previously reviewed by the HDC.

A. The proposal does not substantially alter the exterior features of the structure.
B. The proposal is compatible in character and nature with the historical, cultural, architectural, or
archeological features of the site, structure, or district and would not be detrimental to

cultural value.
D. The proposal is necessary so that unsafe conditions or health hazards are remedied.
E. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating
Historic Buildings and subsequent revisions are to be used as guidance only and are not to be
considered mandatory.
2. In reviewing the plans for any such construction or change, the HDC shall give consideration to and not
disapprove an application except with respect to the factors specified below.

structure and to the surrounding area.
C. The general compatibility of exterior design, scale, proportion, arrangement, texture, and
materials proposed to be used.
D. Any other factors, including aesthetic factors, that the Commission deems to be pertinent.
3. The HDC shall be strict in its judgment of plans for those structures, sites, or districts deemed to be

scale, proportions, materials and details of the adjacent contributing structures or landscapes.
3. Consideration of the ratio of built versus open space of the site or the adjacent landscape should be given.

siting new construction if those characteristics contribute to the historic site or its landscape. This includes
circulation routes, fences, walls, and yards, etc.
5. Locate new construction and new accessory buildings so that the existing significant visual and special
characteristics of the property are maintained.

enhanced.
7. See also Key Themes. (p. 57)
Staff Report:
This project is in the Leitersburg Historic Rural Village which is located primarily at the intersection of Leiter
Street and Leitersburg Smithsburg Road. Leitersburg is on the National Register of Historic Places and
Washington County Historic Sites/Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties and was last surveyed in 2003
(WA -I-174) The survey includes 147 contributing buildings, 5 sites and 3 structures for a total of 155 historic
resources. There are 72 non-contributing resources. The district construction characteristics include brick,
stone, wood and concrete exteriors with roofing of asphalt, metal or slate. The architectural styles include
vernacular, federal, Greek revival and more. The period of significance is 1815-1926 and its qualifying criteria
for the National Register are Criteria A (association with events) and Criteria C (Distinctive construction).
The project is located along Leiter Street approximately 545 feet northeast of the main square of Leitersburg.
As you face the fire hall building there is a vacant lot to the right of the fire hall owned by the fire company
which is the proposed location of this pavilion and to the right of that is another non-contributing structure at
21423 Leiter Street.
The proposed pavilion is to be located approximately 152 feet from Leiter Street, nearly in line with the rear
of the existing firehall building to its northeast. The pavilion is proposed at 33 feet by 62 feet with a majority
of its area enclosed for storage and approximately 15 feet by 30 feet proposed to remain open pavilion
space. The proposed materials are metal siding and metal roofing. There are proposed windows in the
enclosed spaces.
Staff Analysis:
The project is setback from the streetscape significantly and will minimize its visibility except to those
structures directly across the street. The properties directly adjacent are non-contributing and therefore
would have minimal impact as is preferred by both the SOI Guidelines and local Design Guidelines. The
building size and scale are consistent with adjacent structures in the district. The application appears
consistent with the applicable criteria in the Zoning Ordinance as well. As there is a minor site plan associated
with this permit, there is a potential for native vegetative screening requirements, however, the

consideration of site distance for apparatus leaving the firehall and general traffic from the adjacent park
may make this problematic. Exterior lighting should be restricted to the side facing the existing
firehall/alleyway and avoid illuminating the building on the Leiter Street side and the adjacent residential
structure to the West. Exterior lighting should be low, shielded and downward facing to the extent
practicable meeting the site plan and zoning ordinance requirements.
Staff Recommendation:
Recommend approval of the Non -Residential New Construction Permit/Commercial, 2025-01173, for pavilion
on concrete slab with the consideration that the following be addressed with SP -25-012: that native
vegetative screening be considered on the property facing Leiter Street while being sympathetic to the site
distance requirements at the nearby entrance; and also that exterior lighting on the building be mounted
low, shielded and downward facing to the extent practicable meeting site plan and zoning ordinance
requirements; illuminating only the side facing the existing fire company building.

MEMORANDUM
To: Washington County Historic District Commission
From: Meghan Jenkins, GISP, GIS Coordinator - Historic District Commission Staff
Date: April 24, 2025
Subj: Residential Demolition Permit, 2025-01407
Staff Report and Analysis
Property Owner: SHORTEN, DAVID
Applicant: David Shorten
Location: 19133 GEETING Road
Tax Account ID: 19007308
Map/Grid/Parcel/Lot: 0076/0012/0282/
Legal Description: 2.44 ACRES19133 GEETING ROAD
Zoning: Preservation
MD Inventory of Historic Places (MIHP): 110314
Project Description: Demolition of 1,224 sq. ft. single family dwelling including
foundation and demolition of out building
Applicable Law and Review Criteria:
The Historic District Commission shall review demolition permits using the Review Procedures
adopted by the Board of County Commissioners as amended on July 17, 1990. "The policy does not
provide for approval or disapproval of the demolition permit. These permits are issued solely on the
basis of meeting technical requirements of applicable code."
The review criteria for demolition permit are the same as the evaluation criteria in the Washington County Design
Guidelines for Historic Structures.
1) The application shall be approved by the HDC if it is consistent with the following criteria:
a) The proposal does not substantially alter the exterior features of the structure.
b) The proposal is compatible in character and nature with the historical, cultural, architectural, or archeological
features of the site, structure, or district and would not be detrimental to achievement of the purposes of
Article 20 of the County Zoning Ordinance.
c) The proposal would enhance or aid in the protection, preservation and public or private utilization of the site
or structure, in a manner compatible with its historical, archeological, architectural, or cultural value.
d) The proposal is necessary so that unsafe conditions or health hazards are remedied.
e) The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings
and subsequent revisions are to be used as guidance only and are not to be considered mandatory.

HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
2) In reviewing the plans for any such construction or change, the HDC shall give consideration to and not disapprove
an application except with respect to the factors specified below.
a) The historic or architectural value and significance of the site or structure and its relationship to the historic or
architectural value and significance of the surrounding area.
b) The relationship of the exterior architectural features of the structure to the remainder of the structure and to
the surrounding area.
c) The general compatibility of exterior design, scale, proportion, arrangement, texture, and materials proposed
to be used.
d) Any other factors, including aesthetic factors, that the Commission deems to be pertinent.
The HDC shall be strict in its judgment of plans for those structures, sites, or districts deemed to be valuable according
to studies performed for districts of historic or architectural value. The HDC shall be lenient in its judgment of plans
involving new construction, unless such plans would seriously impair the historic or architectural value of surrounding
structures.
County Design Guidelines for Historic Structures
Demolition Permit Application Requirements
1. Written description and history of the building or structure to be demolished.
2. Detail drawings, such as construction or trim details.
3. Floor plan for each floor level, drawn to approximate scale or fully dimensioned.
4. Applicant's plan for the recycling of waste generated
5. A report or narrative analyzing the following alternatives (listed in descending order
of preference) as to the feasibility. The report shall consist of thorough, deliberative
analyses of each of the alternatives, explaining why each alternative is or is not
feasible and additional photographs should be provided in support of the analysis. In
cases where a permit may involve multiple structures, each structure must have its
alternatives documented.
(a) Redesigning the project to avoid any impact to the structure or its setting;
(b) Incorporating the structures into the overall design of the project;
(c) Converting the structure into another use (adaptive reuse);
(d) Relocating the structure on the property;
(e) Relocating the structure to another property;

building materials;
(g) Documenting the structure as a whole and its individual architectural features in
photographs, drawings, and/or text
6. A site plan illustrating any proposed development or introduction of plantings
following demolition (if applicable)
Staff Report:
This structure is on the Washington County Historic Sites Inventory/MIHP as a stuccoed log cabin complex. The
description notes there is a 3 bay brick surfaced house, possibly a veneered log structure with unknown dates. The
houses are not visible from Geeting Road and are back an approximately 900 ft. long driveway. The land has been
subdivided up over several decades with only one dwelling on the subject parcel. The buildings subject to this

HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
demolition permit are on an approximately 2.4 acre piece of land. The dwelling is described in the inventory as a brick
encased log, however, when staff visited the site, it is wood sided with a metal roof and only one of the chimneys
pictured in the inventory photo remains with evidence of the others being removed due to variations in the metal
roofing. There is a portion that is log based on the owner provided photos but there is no evidence of brick. The
structure has been added to both in height and in width based on the integration of framing and log visible on interior
photos. The porches have also been removed and there are very few remaining windows. The foundation is fieldstone
and there is a basement. The outbuilding subject to this permit is a small 2 -story barn with vertical wood siding and a
corrugated metal roof. This structure has a significant lean to it. Not subject to the permit, there is a small building
covering the well for the property to the rear of the house. All of these buildings appear to have been in disuse for
several years with exposure to elements. The new property owner did provide photos, a rough floor plan of the
interior and a narrative discussing conversion, relocation and ultimately the plans for demolition of the structure.
Staff Analysis:
The structures subject to this permit lack integrity of the exterior design elements such as windows, porches, and
doors as the majority have been removed previously or have significant deterioration. The owner has indicated their
intent to reuse any viable materials for other purposes on the property including log, metal roofing, dimensional
lumber and fieldstone. The owner has also provided a brief narrative outlining the lack of feasibility for relocation or
conversion and the intent to use this property for a single-family home. The structures also appear to be unsafe as
evidenced by lean and deterioration due to exposure.
Staff Recommendation:
Recommend support of the residential demolition permit 2025-01407 for the reasons stated in the staff analysis.

-log stacked walls are rotted in various degrees (some may be recyclable)
-roof rafters are in various degrees of deterioration and damage and are not structurally sound
-metal roofing is missing and rusting through in multiple places
C) Converting the Structure
-Converting the structure is not practical as the structure is not sound.
-plan for the property is a new single-family home, this structure is located on the northwest
corner of the lot and would offer no practical use.
-Cost prohibitive as structure would need to be rebuilt from the ground up

DATE: April 11, 2025
SUBJ: Invitation for Workshop and Review of Memorandum of Agreement
To Whom It May Concern:
In April of 2024, the Board of County Commissioners (the "BOCC") repealed the "Ordinance to
Provide Property Tax Credits for Improvements to Specified Historic Structures in Washington County,
Maryland," the ("Original Ordinance"), and reenacted it with amendments as the "Washington County
Historic Properties Tax Credit Ordinance," (the "Revised Ordinance"). The Original Ordinance did not
contain language allowing municipalities to participate in this tax credit program. The Revised
Ordinance allows for such participation under certain circumstances. Section 1.04 of the Revised
Ordinance establishes and defines how municipalities can qualify. In order for a municipality to qualify
under the Revised Ordinance, Section 1.04 requires the municipality to employ exterior design review
requirements that are equivalent to those in place by the Washington County Historic District
Commission (the "Commission"). The Revised Ordinance also allows a municipality to qualify by passing
an ordinance or by delegating permit review authority to the Commission through a recorded
Memorandum of Agreement ("MOA").
This tax credit program is voluntary for the property owner. However, a citizen is only eligible
for the tax credit as long as the property is located in a "Qualified Municipality" under Section 1.04 of
the Revised Ordinance.
County staff has received numerous requests from property owners within your municipal limits
to participate in these tax credits and would like to discuss executing an MOA between the municipality
and the BOCC in accordance with Section 1.04 of the Revised Ordinance. Attached is a draft MOA for
your review. If the MOA is not acceptable, the HDC would note that there is an additional way to qualify
by amending your local ordinance.
747 Northern Avenue Hagerstown, MD 21742 240.313.2430 240.313.2431 7-1-1
WWW.WASHCO-MD.NET
The Commission would like to meet with municipal representatives on <DATE> to discuss any
questions regarding the Revised Ordinance or the proposed MOA and receive feedback before
presenting a final MOA to the BOCC and municipalities for signature.
We hope you will join us for this workshop to provide your municipality's feedback and we look
forward to offering these voluntary property tax credits within your municipal limits with the qualifying
method that best supports your goals for historic preservation. If you are unable to attend the
workshop, you may provide comments or ask questions via mail to <ADDRESSEE> 747 Northern Avenue,
Hagerstown, MD 21742 or email at askplanning@washco-md.net.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION —Smithsburg, Maryland (Mapleville Road)
Sheetz, Inc. (Sheetz) is seeking federal financial assistance under the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development's Rural Business Service. The purpose of this project is to construct
a new Sheetz convenience store and fuel dispensing station to provide access to both traditional vehicle
fuel options and ethanol fuel options to consumers.
Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as
amended and 7 CFR 1970 Rural Development Environmental Policy and Procedures, an Environmental
Assessment has been prepared to evaluate the environmental impacts potentially associated with the
development of one parcel (Washington County Parcel# 07004230) and a portion of a larger parcel
(Washington County Parcel# 07017154). Sheetz intends to develop approximately 3.4 acres located to the
southwest of the intersection of Jefferson Boulevard and Mapleville Road in Smithsburg, Maryland, for
the review of USDA Rural Development Rural Business Service. The proposed development Site
(latitude/longitude (39.642060°, -77.587368°)) is approximately 3.4 acres total and currently consists of
two two-story residential houses and two detached garages, grass lawns, asphalt driveways, wooded
areas in the north, and a vacant grass field in the south. The Site is located southwest of the intersection
of Jefferson Boulevard and Mapleville Road in the City of Smithsburg, Washington County, Maryland.
The existing Site is composed of two two-story residential houses and two detached garages, grass lawns,
asphalt driveways, wooded areas in the north, and a vacant grass field in the south. Initial installation of
some utilities needs to be completed. Sheetz is proposing to construct a Sheetz retail convenience store
and vehicle fueling station. A one-story, 6,139 square -foot commercial building is proposed for the west -
central area of the Site to serve as a convenience store. Total ground disturbance for the building will be
approximately 24,556 cubic -feet to four feet below ground surface (bgs). One (1) approximately 2,300
square -foot proposed underground storage tank (UST) field with two (2) 36,000 -gallon fuel USTs is to be
located in the eastern portion of the Site. Total ground disturbance for the tank field will be approximately
34,500 cubic -feet to 15 feet bgs. One (1) approximately 4,500 square -foot proposed dispenser canopy is
to be located east of the proposed convenience store and west of the proposed UST field and will house
a total of six (6) dispensers that include four (4) ethanol blend dispensers. Total ground disturbance for
the dispensers will be approximately 18,000 cubic -feet to four feet bgs. The installation of product piping
and utilities will disturb approximately 12,000 cubic -feet to five feet bgs. Ingress and egress to the Site is
provided by proposed driveway entrances located from Mapleville Road to the northeast and southeast
and Paden Avenue to the northwest. The remaining portions of the developed Site will consist of paved
parking spaces, paved driving lanes, any required stormwater management facilities (i.e. swales, ponds,
etc.) and landscaped areas.
