    The meeting began at 7:00 PM.
    Minutes The January 26, 2010 minutes were approved with minor modifications.
    Wildcat Road - T Mobile Cell Tower Letter The draft letter to the Hearing Examiner
    regarding the upcoming special exception hearing (June 3) was reviewed and approved
    with minor modifications. The committee discussed whether a tower with internal
    antennae was as effective as one with external antennae. Leslie believed that they were as
    effective but were more expensive.
    Scenic Vistas - The cell tower discussion lead to a discussion of scenic views. Bob and
    Marc felt that scenic views and esthetics are an important aspect of rustic roads that the
    committee should comment on. Fred felt this was a grey area and questioned whether the
    committee was overstepping its bounds in making recommendations. A separate meeting
    or discussion of this topic was suggested.
    Master Plan of Highways (MPOH) Members reported in on their inventories of the
    rustic roads, for which there are currently no descriptions. Most of these are in the
    Potomac area. The general consensus was that many of these roads no longer appear to
    meet the rustic criteria and should be considered for de-listing and in some cases roadway
    improvements. However, rather than take on this large task as part of the MPOH project,
    which was not part of its original scope, the committee will make a statement that many
    of these rustic roads outside the Ag Reserve do not appear to meet the requirements for
    rustic designation.

    Cattail Road Property This development consists of a 116 acre site with one child lot
    proposed with the remainder of the property for the existing home. The only issue for the
    RRAC was access. The committee recommended that the driveway width be consistent
    with the width of the road. However, the Fire Marshall now requires a 20 foot wide
    driveway for shared access, in addition to a staging area near the road. The driveway
    width issue needs to be discussed further with the Fire Marshal.
    The meeting adjourned at 9:00 PM.

    Date Approved: April 27,2010
