MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL, JUNE 14, 1967.
A regular meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in the Council ; I
Chambers, 12 W. Loudoun Street, Leesburg, Virginia, on June 14, 1967 at 7:30) W)
P.M. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Kenneth B. Rollins, with prayer ..1„.
by Councilman Fishback. Others present were Councilmen C. A. English Cole, _
C. Maloy Fishback, Maurice R. Lowenbach, Jr. , Walter F. Murray, Robert A. Orr
and John W. Pumphrey; also Town Manager James W. Ritter, Jr. and Town Attorney
George M. Martin.
• • The_ Minutes of the regular meeting of May 24, 1967 were approved as written. .
Town Manager Ritter reported on the following:
(1) - With regard to Item 3 on the Agenda, this Resolution provides for
two more needed items on the Applications for Water and Sewage Service, (1)
to require easements and (2) to control tap-ons. ,
(2) He asked that Item 4 on the Agenda be held over until the next meeting
in order to make additions. This deals with regulations tightening up the rules
on the building of streets in subdivisions.
•
v (3) Item 5 on the Agenda deals with a $1,200.00 appropriation for the
W. & 0. D. Railroad license for the right-of-way for the interceptor sewer
nj line. This price has been set by VEPCO, one of the potential buyers of this
C'J land if the Railroad is allowed to be abandoned. They will go along on a 12
foot basis, but say that 20 feet from the right-of-way line would possibly
interfere with their future development. It looks like we will have to go
along with this, rather than go on private property, which could prove far
more expensive.
(4) With regard to Item 7 on the Agenda, this is the same resolution pre-
sented at last meeting, with an additional phrase added at the end.
(5) On the Alberts ' easement , Mr. Ritter said he had written to Johnson
and Williams, the Water Control Board and the Health Department re the dumping
of industrial waste into •the sewage system. Both Johnson and Williams and the
Water Control Board are sending model ordinances, which should be here by the
next meeting.
(6) The Kincaid Agreement was received on Monday, however , there are two
items in question : (1) We tentatively agreed to give him two free hook-ons, he
has included the right to additional connections to this same line; (2) This
deals with the rights of the property owner within the 30' sewer line easement.
The agreement says that the Seller will have full use and enjoyment of the ease-
ment, which could allow him to do anything, and we certainly would not want
buildings 'within the easement. Both of these items will have to be discussed
further.
(7) It looks like we are bogged down again on the sewer plant. He talked
to Johnson and Williams and the Water Pollution Control Agency in Charlottes-
ville, who 'say they are not holding it up, they just have a lot of requests to
get around to. Mr. Ritter said he told them that we are concerned about the
$446,000 grant. He said he was assured that there is no problem here. The plans on
the plant left the Health Department last week and went to the Water Control
Board. This could be another three or four months if they follow the same pat-
tern as the plans on the two Interceptor Lines.
Mayor Rollins reported the following:
(1) The suits filed against Chantilly Aviation, Inc. and the individual
members were heard in Circuit Court this week and settlement was reached in this
matter, so apparently there is some harmony within the Corporation again. •
(2) Mr. Dew will be here around 9 :00 P.M. to bring proposed plans of a
new Town Office Building for Council to look at and discuss.
(3) He•read a letter from Mr. Thomas J. Murrin, Group Vice President of
Westinghouse (letter attached hereto) , which letter was in response to one written
by him to the President of Westinghouse sometime ago. He said that Mr. Beggs,
Vice-President in charge of the Baltimore Office, Mr. Kirkpatrick of the Board

J , of Supervisors and he met with Mr. Clark of the DECO office and decided that a
committee of the Council and the Board of Supervisors would meet with Mr. Clark
and Mr. Beggs to see what can be worked out with regard to utility facilities
for the new plant.. This meeting has now been scheduled for June 21stat 9:30
A.M. Mayor Rollins appointed the Utility Committee as the committee from the
Council and said_ that he was sure any other members wishing to attend would be
welcome. He asked this committee to report back to Council. He also made
reference to the invitation extended to members of Council to visit the Balti-
more Plant on June 27th, the group to meet at the Court House at 12:30 P.M. ,
and asked how many planned to attend.

• Councilman Cole asked Mr. Ritter to explain the correspondence with John III
-
` son and Williams to Council. Mr. Ritter said that, on May 9th, Mr. Steve Hall
of the Water Pollution Control Agency in .Charlottesville called Johnson and
Williams and asked for .certain information concerning the Grant Offer, which
consisted of a break-down oh various aspects, and also they wanted the stream
flows on Goose Creek and Tuscarora Creek. On May 18th, Mr. Ritter said he re-
ceived a letter from Johnson and Williams, outlining this request and stating
that, if we had no objection, they would send this information. Of course, we
had no objection. A couple of weeks after , Mr. Ritter said he called Charlottes-
ville to see what the hold-up was on our Federal Grant and they said they were
still waiting on Johnson and Williams. Today, he called Johnson and Williams,
who, in turn, called Charlottesville and then called us back and said this defi-
nitely was not holding up the grant, but that they have the information all ready
but have not yet had time. to type it up. Mr. Ritter said he called Charlottesville
to be sure of this and was assured that this was not holding up the grant. At any)
rate, the point is that the Federal Government thought enough of this project
to make the telephone call to Johnson and Williams and it took them nine days
to even ,gym ite us regarding it, this is just another hold-up that we do not like.
At this time, a Public Hearing was held on the Proposed Budget for 1967-
1968, with no-one being present to speak either for or against it.
Upon motion of Councilman Murray, seconded by Councilman Lowenbach, . the Pro-
posed Budget for 1967-1968 was unanimously adopted. (Copy attached hereto)
At this time, Councilman Cole stated that when the Budget was .made up
(and he and Mr. Ritter discussed this this afternoon) , there was no account-
ing for the surplus which was left over at the end of the year. He said we now
. have $29,000 in the General Fund and roughly only two weeks to go. There will
be, by Mr. Ward 's estimate, between $15,000 and $20,000 left over. Therefore,
he said he could see no justification for raising the tax rate. He said he had
not seen a year when there was not a surplus since he had been on Council. He
said he had no argument with the utility raise. Councilman Fishback also said
that if we have the money, he could see no point in raising taxes.
Upon motion of Councilman Orr, seconded by Councilman Cole, the following
Ordinance was unanimously adopted :
BE IT ORDAINED by the Town Council for the Town of Leesburg, that the
following taxes be and they are hereby levied for the fiscal year.be-
ginning July 1, 1967 and ending June 30, 1968 for the support of the
municipal government, the payment of interest on municipal debts and
other municipal purposes as follows:
1. The tax on all taxable real estate shall be at the rate of Sixty
Cents ($.60) on every One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the assessed
value thereof.
Upon motion of Councilman Orr, seconded by Councilman Cole, the following
• addition to the above Ordinance was unanimously adopted: •
2. All tangible personal.property, including the tangible personal
property separately classified by Sections 58-829.1, 58-829.2 and
58-829.3 of the Code of Virginia, excepting therefrom household goods
and effects, shall be taxed at the rate of One Dollar ($1.00) on every

• Upon motion of Councilman Fishback, seconded by Councilman Pumphrey,
,V Council unanimously adopted the following resolution:
N
C1/4/ WHEREAS, the Town Council , at its meeting on January 3, 1962,
�►y adopted a resolution approving forms entitled "APPLICATION FOR
WATER AND SEWER SERVICE, REQUIRING AN EXTENSION OF EXISTING FA-
V CILITIES," and
WHEREAS, it has been• found necessary to amend said forms in order
to require easements• to be submitted, and setting.forth a policy
that would control tap-ons,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of
Leesburg, that the following amendments be adopted :
After the first sentence in Section 1, add: "and that easements
are to be submitted to the Town before pipe lines are installed.'.'
Also, a new section is to be added, titled Section 10, as follows :
"No tap-ons or connections are to be made without prior approval
of the Town Council on those utility lines outside of the corporate
• limits, and no tap-ons are- to be made without prior approval of the
Town Manager on those utility lines that are located inside of the
corporate limits. "
•
Mr. J. 0. Clark, General Manager of the DECO Communications Department of._
the Westinghouse Corporation, addressed Council at this time, assuring Council
that Westinghouse has every intention of building its new facilities at this
location, contrary to the impressions they may have received. He said that,
from their viewpoint, there is more involved than Westinghouse, the Town and
the County; there are also the property owners to be considered, certainly
the one that they intend to lease from is involved. He said they would like
to work together with local governmental agencies and the various people in-
volved and try to come up with a solution agreeable to everybody. He said
there are some things on the property that are not obvious to the casual ob-
server, they involve a part of the work that they do. As a consequence, it
will be necessary to consider these and they would like to sit down with some
sort of a -working committee and come up with some solutions that could be put
before the committee for consideration.
•
Councilman Cole asked several questions of Mr. Clark, one being is Westing-
' house committed to the leasing of a- particular piece of real estate and if it is
outside of the Town, to which Mr. Clark replied "Yes. " He asked if they would
consider leasing in Town. Mr. Clark said not to his knowledge, that he would
hesitate to make positive statements about anything. He said the one positive
statement he could make was that they have every intention of building the plant
here in Loudoun County. Mr. Cole asked where, specifically, this plant would
be built. Mr. Clark said on the acreage between the current building and the
Edwards Ferry Road, that they are in general agreement with the owner of the
7n

property on this. Mr. Cole asked how far it would be from Fort Evans Road. He
said about 450 ' .from Edwards Ferry Road, he did not know how far from Fort
Evans Road. He said the current plans call for construction to start this year
and he drew a sketch as to the approximate Iodation of the new proposed building.
He. said. he..could. probably arrange to show Council sketches of the proposed build-
. . ing. . . . _
.Upon.motion of Councilman Fishback, seconded by Councilman Lowenbach, the
following resolution was placed on the floor for discussion:
•
WHEREAS, construction.plans for the Dry Mill Interceptor Sewer show
a longitudinal occupancy of the W. & 0. D. right-of-way for a distance
of approximately 900 ' in the vicinity of Rt. 15, and
WHEREAS, studies .and surveys have proven that this location for the
proposed -Sanitary Sewer is the most feasible over other locations,
and .
WHEREAS, the W. & 0. D. Railroad has advised the Town of Leesburg by
letter that this encumbrance reduces the value of the land by $1,200.00,
and
WHEREAS, the W. & 0. D. Railroad requires the payment of $1,200.00
consideration for the license to place these facilities on Railroad
property,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of
Leesburg, that payment be made to the W. & 0. D. Railroad in the a-
mount of $1,200.00 for the necessary license.
Councilman Fishback explained that the Utility Committee and the Town Manager
have hadcorrespondence with. the Highway Department and VEPCO to try to get
this right-of-way. . They demanded payment for this right-of-way when we changed
our plans to stay away from the back yards of the houses in Monroe Manor and
the Committee figures that this is still .cheaper than going through. those back
yards. . Town. Attorney Martin called Council 's attention. to the fact that if you
get only a. license, then .it .can be revoked. Councilman Cole asked what would
. be the. position if the Highway Department takes this over. Councilman Lowen-
bach asked if. we..pay $1,200..for a license, rather. than an easement, and they
revoke it , wouldn't the Town recover part of this $1,200. Mr. Ritter said
that. VEPCO. is_ willing to give a permit only, he did .not know about an easement.
Councilman Cole suggested that we explore the possibility of getting an ease-
ment if the Highway Department or VEPCO takes this over. Mr. Ritter explained
that this $1 ,200 check would be made payable to the W. & 0. D. Railroad. The
rider was placed on this by VEPCO. Upon motion of Councilman. Murray, seconded
by Councilman Cole, it was decided unanimously. that this matter be tabled until
the next. meeting, and Mr. Ritter was asked to look into this.
Upon motion of Councilman Pumphrey, seconded by Councilman Cole , the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously adopted :
WHEREAS, in the summer of 1966, Tri-County Asphalt placed a resurfac-
ing course on Liberty Street between Loudoun and Market Streets, and
on Wirt Street between Royal and Market Streets, and
WHEREAS, said pavement has failed because of inferior subgrade ma-
terial , and
WHEREAS, Tri-County Asphalt Co. has agreed to furnish the necessary
labor, provided the. Town will pay for the asphalt required, which is
estimated to cost approximately $2,000.00•
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of
Leesburg, that Tri-County Asphalt Co. be authorized to proceed to
repair the pavement that has failed on the following basis :
•
(a) Excavate all areas that show signs of failure, including. the
removal of all unsuitable material, down to a depth satisfactory
with the Town Manager.

smaller aggregate.
(c ) Base Course shall have a minimum compacted thickness of 6".
(d) Entire 3 block area to .receive a tack coat, followed by 11"

Councilman Fishback said he believed that we should tell them that they will be
responsible for this for one year. It was discussed that a Bond should be put
up by contractors who build streets, said Bond to be for one year.
Upon motion of Councilman Lowenbach , seconded by Councilman Fishback, the
following resolution. was adopted by a vote of 6 to 1 , Councilman Cole casting
the dissenting vote :

ment, and by the adoption of this resolution, the Town gives final ap-
proval to the sewer line as constructed,

' this resolution, that the Town accepts the above sewer line as be-
ing a part ,of, the Town Sewerage System, and demands that easements
and line be conveyed to the Town according to .the terms of said
agreement by July 15, 1967, and free of the tap-on rights reserved
by grantors of easements and, if not conveyed by then, that said
line be disconnected from the Town Sewerage System.
Upon motion of Councilman Murray, seconded by Councilman Cole, the follow-
ing resolution was placed .on the floor for discussion :

Town of Leesburg, Virginia
Upon motion of Councilman Fishback, seconded by Councilman Pumphrey, the
following resolution was placed on the floor for discussion:
WHEREAS, the State Highway Department is now constructing a street
widening project on N. King Street between North Street and Union
Street, together with curb and gutter and storm drainage, and
WHEREAS, 525,000.00 has been appropriated by the Highway Department
for this project , which terminates at a point 100' from Union Street,
and approximately 250' from North Street, and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that, in the interest of public
safetyand in order to have a uniform alignment in the new curb
and gutter, it will be necessary that the curb and gutter and side-
walk construction be continued to North Street,
78
MINUTES OF JUNE 14, 1967 MEETING.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of
Leesburg, that the Department of Highways be notified that the proj-
ect be extended to the North Street intersection, and also to the
• Union Street intersection, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that should the above $25,000 allocation be
insufficient to complete the project as outlined above, the Town of
Leesburg will pay the remaining difference.
Discussion followed with regard to this project , with Mayor Rollins calling Coun-
cil 's attention to the fact that difficulties will be encountered in that the
III curb and gutter and sidewalk will be higher than the properties, therefore, there
will be problems with drainage, with driveway entrances, etc. He also called at-
tention to the fact that the road was off-center and the alignment is going to
be thrown off at the. corners of King and Union and King and North, more particu-
larly at the North Street intersection. After discussion of this, upon motion
of Mayor Rollins, seconded by Councilman Fishback, .Council deleted from the next
to the last paragraph of the proposed resolution the following: "and also to
the Union Street intersection, " Mayor Rollins also moved to amend the resolu-
tion by adding after North Street in the third paragraph "and constructed in
Cq such a manner as to .be properly aligned with the intersection at King and North
N Street. " However, he withdrew this motion. Councilman Cole referred to the
CQ fact that the. Town had no easement to allow it to go upon the property of Mrs.
C7 Robert Fletcher to clean out the storm drain which runs through her property.
U Mayor Rollins asked Mr. Cole to contact Mrs. Fletcher about obtaining this ease-
° ment. The motion, as amended, was then unanimously adopted.
Upon motion of Mayor Rollins, seconded by Councilman Murray, the following
resolution was .unanimously adopted:
BE IT RESOLVED by the Town of Leesburg, that the Public Works Com-
mittee be and it hereby is authorized and empowered to act for and
on behalf of the Town in all matters connected with the North King
Street Project, which includes but is not limited to decisions con-
cerning the individual property owners and the approach design at
the North and King Street intersection.
Councilman Cole suggested that there should be one more member on this committee.
Mayor Rollins appointed him (Mr. Cole) to serve the first week, t4•; Murray the
second week and Dr. Orr the third week.
Mr. Ritter explained to Council that he is in the midst of going over these
situations with property owners and that , under this set-up, he cannot do any-
thing, he would have to wait until the committee could meet. Mayor Rollins said
• that this was meant to apply only where the property owner and the Town Manager
could not agree. Council agreed to this.
Mayor Rollins said that the Judge had set over until next Wednesday any argu-
ment to be had regarding the injunction proceeding filed against the Town today
enjoining the Town from any further work on the sidewalk in front of the IGA
Store. Councilman Pumphrey said he believed that the people who lease to the
IGA could come here and look over this situation and know what we are talking
about. Mr. Ritter said the contractor has been very obliging so far and that
when he finishes all but this portion in question, he will have to pull out. He
is willing' to leave and come back when this matter is settled. Mr. Cole sug-
gested that the crown of the road be taken down. Councilman Lowenbach explained
that, when the W & L Corporation bought this property, the store was designed to
suit the tenant, with a 10-year lease and a 5-year option. He said he entered
into this venture and that he understands his duty as a Councilman, but he feels
that he must. also protect his own interest. He said he would like to find some
solution for a nice smooth sidewalk. He said he felt the Corporation would give
the easement for drainage. After further discussion, it was suggested, , and the
general consensus of the Council , that Mr. Walter L. Phillips , Jr. be secured
as an engineer to make suggestions for a solution to this problem.
Mr. Ritter called attention to a memo attached to the Agenda dealing with
the sign and lights erected on the Times-Mirror Building, that he and Pair. Forbes
feel that the Times-Mirror is in violation of the Zoning Ordinance by not having
requested a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Board of Architectural Re-
view since this property is located in the Old and Historic District of Leesburg,
74;
MINUTES OF JUNE 14, 1967 MEETING. . .
and also a Zoning Certificate from the Zoning Administrator , but they are not clear
as to how they should proceed legally. He- said that they had discussed this with
the Town Attorney and he, Mr. Martin, suggested that a letter be written to the
Times-Mirror about this and , if no reply is given, that they then .talk. with Mr.
Arundel about the matter.
Mr. Martin pointed out that contractors must put up a Bond for any work in
excess of 52,500.00 and that• he understood Chantilly Construction has not put up
any such bond. He said he did not think that the Town had any valid contract
with Chantilly and believed a resolution requiring the contractor to provide this
. _ bond should- be adopted, said bond to be approved by the Town Attorney.

Mr. William B. Dew, Jr. presented and explained to Council -plans and
sketches for the basement, first and second floors of a new proposed Town Office
Building (including two plans for the second floor) , along with two sketches of
the front of the building. Council discussed these plans for approximately an hour.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 100::/35 P.M.

The Honorable Kenneth B. Rollins
Mayor
Town of Leesburg in Virginia
Leesburg, Virginia 22075
Dear Mayor Rollins:
Mr. Burnham has asked me to reply to your
letter of May 22 .
Thank you very much for calling to our attention
a situation where obviously the policies of the
Westinghouse Electric Corporation have apparently
not been clearly stated.
First, let me say that it is our intention
to retain and expand our operations in the Leesburg
area. We look forward to a long and prosperous
relationship with the people of Leesburg and of
Loudoun County. As you know, since we acquired
the Deco Company, we have expanded this operation
and our desire is to improve upon it in every way.
We do believe that it is in the interest of
Loudoun County, the Town of Leesburg and Westinghouse
to explore all possibilities of obtaining the necessary
sewer and water services which will be required not
only by our current expansion but also our future
needs . We certainly believe that a satisfactory
accommodation can be reached which should be of
substantial benefit to the community. To accomplish
- i -
this, we have asked Mr. J. M. Beggs and Mr. J. 0. Clark
to meet with you, the Leesburg Council and the Super-
visors of Loudoun County to review all of the
possibilities available .
We appreciate very much your interest in our
activities. We intend to work with your office to reach
a satisfactory solution.
Sincerely,
T 41 '= s J. Murrin
