Lot widths shall be measured at the building line."
(6 ) Amend Section IV A b3 so that as amended it shall read
as follows : _
"3. Sidewalks on both sides of each street, whether in the
State system or not, composed of concrete or brick not less
than 3 feet wide and installed according to town specifica-
tions, but shall be required only as to the side of the street
owned by the subdivider or developer. This requirement 3
shall not apply in any area beyond one (1) mile from the Town
Corporate limits."
Mr. Harrison commented briefly upon the effect of the pro-
posed amendments and advised that the amendments were the result
of further study by the Town Planning Commission and of confer-
ences held with other interested persons, including the Chairman
-of the-Loudoun County Planning Commission.
The next person who addressed the chair was Mr. Stanley Brown,
Chairman of the Planning Commission for Loudoun County. Mr. Brown
stated that in general he approved of the amendments suggested by
Mr. Harrison, Chairman of the Town Planning Commission, and stat-
ed that in his opinion, they. would, if adopted, improve the ordi-
nance as proposed. He stated, however, that in his opinion two
further amendments should be made ; one, that the proviso clause
at the end of Section I B, if amended as suggested by Mr. Harri-
son, shouldbe eliminated for the reason that the Master Plan of
the Town of Leesburg had not been adopted and therefore it would
be impossible to tell what the requirements of the Master Plan
might be, and therefore, since the Master Plan was not in effect,
no provision could be made at this time for putting its provis-
ions into effect; and, second, that a provision be added in Sec-
tion II, Paragraph B 4, which would require a certificate of
approval by the County Health Officer, and in particular, sug-
gested
that- the language in the present County Subdivision Ordi-
- rance be adopted.
Mr. Brown then stated that if the amendments suggested by
Mr. Harrison were adopted and the twoamendmentswhich he. had
just suggested were adopted, he would personally approve of the
ordinance and would wholeheartedly recommerd.its approval by the
Loudoun County Planning Commission and by the Board of Super-
visors of Loudoun County.
When upon inquiry by the Chairman as to whether or not any
other person present desired to express their views with respect
_ to the proposed ordinance, or as to the amendments as suggested,
_. .no one indicated such a desire and the Mayor declared the hearing
_ closed and advised that the Council would take under consideration
the ordinance as proposed and publish the amendments as. suggested -
at this hearing. *----7,:-"ta- /
