Summary
At its June 15 meeting in Martinsburg, the Berkeley County Planning Commission approved a 168 sq. ft. addition for Forbes Dental, granted a waiver allowing uncovered decks to extend up to 10 feet at Boyd’s Crossing, approved the Stoney Ridge final plat contingent on a $274,303.50 surety, and voted to advertise a public hearing for Bridle Creek Phase 7.
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — The Berkeley County Planning Commission on June 15 approved several land-use items that advance housing and commercial projects in the county.
The commission approved a detailed site plan for Forbes Dental (File# 2503-065), a proposal to add 168 square feet to an existing building on Tavern Road. Planner Monique Boots read the staff description and applicant representative Steve Cvijanovich was present; the commission closed the public hearing and approved the plan.
The commission granted a waiver to Section 504 of the Berkeley County Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (2025) for Boyd’s Crossing — Phase 1, Section 4 (File# 2605-277 tied to 2601-029). The phase proposes 51 townhome lots and one single-family lot on about 9.21 acres. The waiver permits uncovered decks to extend up to 10 feet into the rear yard setback for lots 100–146. No project representative attended; staff presented the item and the commission voted to approve the waiver.
The final plat for Stoney Ridge, Section 6 (File# 2503-073) was approved contingent on receipt of a surety in the amount of $274,303.50 and execution of a Developer’s Agreement. The plat covers 17 single-family lots on roughly 5.3 acres served by public water and sewer. Counsel Jeff Mauzy reminded the commission the project had been tabled previously; the commission voted to un-table the item before approving the plat with the noted conditions.
For Bridle Creek, Phase 7, Section 1 (File# 2606-322), staff described a proposal for 60 townhome lots on 12.44 acres. The commission accepted staff’s recommendation to advertise a public hearing on the final plat for the July 20, 2026 meeting.
Other business included the routine approval of the agenda and meeting minutes, an announcement of Comprehensive Plan pop-up events scheduled for June 24, and adjournment at 6:13 p.m. Motions to approve the agenda and several of the land-use actions were made and seconded by commission members Eric Goff and Dan Gantt and carried as recorded in the minutes.
The commission’s minutes for the June 15 meeting were signed by Planner I Sarah Sandri and will be part of the official record.
