MINUTES OF JUNE 28, 1967 MEETING.
Town Manager Ritter explained that Item No. 2 on the Addition to the
Agenda was a request from the contractor to be paid for that portion of the
work already completed on the curb, gutter and sidewalk in order that he might
take a discount on his materials. He said he would recommend that we pay• the
amount set forth. in the proposed resolution, holding back $2,000 for the re-
maining work to be done.
•
Regarding the IGA sidewalk situation, Mr. Walter L. Phillips, Jr. was en-
gaged to make a survey, at the- Council 's direction, and they take the position
that the curb and gutter is in the right place and, if the sidewalk is built
to fit the entrance on a level position, there are several arrangements which
could be made. One would be a grass plot between the sidewalk and the curb;
another wouldbe to build a step behind the curb. The low point would be just
west of the brick column and the water would go through a catch basin, then
through an . 8-inch pipe, to spill out on the ground. This would mean an easement
from the IGA, to which they have agreed. He presented a sketch, showing a level
walk at the entrance into the building, and with a guard rail just behind the
curb 3' high to keep small children from crossing over it. This would begin at
the east end of the building and run to the entrance to the parking lot. This
would be to keep people from crossing in this area, which would be a liability
to the Town. This is a suggestion only. He added that the IGA is, naturally,
anxious to have this problem solved.
He reported that the Kincaid Agreement was received from Mr. Nickels ' of- •
fice this afternoon and it is apparently finally worded suitable to both sides.
If the Agreement is satisfactory to the Council, they would like to close this
transaction. This will require a $60,000 appropriation to settle.
Mr. Ritter. reported that recently all the streets in Town were logged in
order to determine how many of the streets would meet State Highway Department
Standards, forwhich we would receive State payment. We picked up another 1.8
miles thatwe did not. have before, and we findthatwe now have 14.18 miles of
secondary streets which will qualify for maintenance and 3.91 miles of primary
streets, for which the State would pay us $53,280.00 per. year, .or $13,320.00
every three months. Some of the' streets do not qualify because of encroach-
ments and for other reasons. Mr. Ritter named someof these streets and
added- that approximately 95% ofthe streets do qualify.
The plans and specifications on the Sewage Treatment Plant have finally
passed the Water Control Board and are in the hands of the Water Pollution Control
Board in Charlottesville. They state that they recommend 24.-hour operation at
the sewer. plant, which is going to be rather expensive, but this - is because there
are so many motors, pumps, etc. at the plant. We also have the long awaited bill
from Johnson and Williams in the amount of 837,031.25. Mr. Ritter pointed out that
this is based on the estimated cost of the plant at $790,000. Using their per-
centage fee of 6.25, the bill is $49,375, but they are only charging 75 per cent
of that fee at this time, the rest will be paid during construction. This will
be handled by the Finance Committee.
•
Mayor Rollins reported that three members of Council went to the Westing-
house plant in Baltimore yesterday and spent about four hours going through their
plant. He said it was very enjoyable to see what is done there in the way of
manufacturing, equipment and various aspects of their program. He said he ap-
pointed the Utility Committee at the last meetink to negotiate on behalf of the
Town with the .County and Westinghouse on the water and sewage utilities prob-
lem and that they did meet and Mr. Fishback will report on this meeting. A
question has apparently arisen regarding some sort of cooperation with the County
and he would like the same committee to handle all negotiations in this regard
and report back to Council.
Councilman Fishback reported on the meeting with the County Board of
Supervisors and others regarding the Westinghouse water and sewer facilities.
The engineer presented three plans (which most of those present had seen be-
fore). Two of these would serve the DECO plant only. The other (Edwards Ferry
Road) would serve the entire watershed from Route 15 north down through the bal-
ance of Mrs. Carr 's land and probably most of the old Trundle property. The
estimated cost of this line was $274,000.00, but the engineer decided that the
size of this line was too small to start out with. The Board of Supervisors said
that, as far as they are concerned , the entire responsibility for anything the
County would do would be in the hands of the Sanitation Authority. The final
77
MINUTES .OF JUNE 28, 1967 MEETING.
conclusion at this meeting was that anything either the-Sanitation. Authority
or. the . Town .would be interested in would be the $300,000 line. It was turned
over to thesetwo bodies to come up with some proposition for the installation
.of this sewer line. The two bodies met again. The Sanitation Authority said
that, if the Town is not interested in taking over this project, they would be
interested in entering into a contract with the Town to bring the water to the
corporate line , where a meter and valve would be installed. They would take it
from there on and put in the rest of the lines, the pump house, the forced line
and .run a gravityy line from there to our interceptor sewer. They would meter
thesewage coming into our line and pay the Town for their part and the water
as it comes into this line. Under this agreement, they would naturally want
control of that entire watershed, it would be their lines serving this water-
shed. We• would::pay each other for the use of the lines. They want to know
whether the Town wants to make a study or whether we want them to have the
study made. They want- a contract and agreement before they turn it over. Council-
man Lowenbach added that they were very frank about bringing water closer to
Leesburg, and the. same would eventually be true of the sewer lines. Council-
man Fishback pointed out that, in future years, once they have put the water
and sewer lines in and come into this system and extended it over this entire
watershed, they will naturallywant to branch out- otherwise, and they will have
a foothold. They will cut us off at the Town limits, so that we would not be
able to annex, which would make the tax base so low that we could not support
CQ it. He said that, unless the Town can spread, they are dead tax-wise for future
�► generations. What they are proposing at the onset is about the size of the Town
now. He said he believed the Town should take a long hard look at this before
V they turn it over to the County. He said he believed the Town should hire a con-
sulting engineer to see if there is any way possible that the Town could handle
this matter. Councilman Murray reminded Council that the resolution wherein the
Town would assume up to $35,000 of this cost is still on the books. This matter
was discussed and it was decided that it would be continued until the next meet-
ing.
•
Councilman Cole asked Mr. Forbes how the houses in the diZerega Subdivision
got so close to the road. Mr. Forbes says they are in accordance with the Zon-
ing and Subdivision Ordinances and the Master Plan, that the side yard restric-
tion is 10 feet, however , in this case, the Planning Commission put a restric-
tion of 20 feet on this particular side. They are dedicating 10 feet of land,
so he is 30 feet from the existing street.
Councilman Fishback asked if there is no difference in the set-back line
on secondary and primary roads. Mr. Forbes says the Zoning Ordinance is the
only control and this was drawn up before annexation. Councilman Fishback said
he thinks the set-back should be further back on primary roads. Mr. Forbes
says you deal first with the Subdivision Ordinance, then the Zoning Ordinance,
and all are in. accordance with the Master Plan. Upon motion of Mayor Rollins,
seconded by Councilman Fishback, Council voted unanimously that the Planning Com-
mission be requested to give serious and immediate consideration to set-backs
off the primary roads within the corporate limits of Leesburg .and report back
to the Town Council.
Councilman Fishback also asked Mr. Forbes if the Council did not send back
to the Planning Commission for further study the apartment zoning of Mr. Walter
L. Phillips, to which Mr. Forbes replied that Council did send it back. Mr.
Fishback said that the Planning Commission has ruled that this is a new appli-
cation entirely and that Mr. Phillips has to pay a $100 application fee again,
which he (Mr.. Fishback) does not think is right. If the Council ordered it back
to the Commission, then the study should be made free of charge. Upon motion of
Councilman Lowenbach, seconded by Councilman Fishback, Council voted 6 to 1,
Councilman Pumphrey voting against, that the Planning Commission consider Mr.
Phillips ' rezoning request near Exeter Hills Subdivision, and .that .the Planning
Commission be requested to waive the $100.00 application fee, because it is the
feeling of the Council that this was referred to them on the Council 's motion and
not at the request of Mr. Phillips.
Councilman Lowenbach said that, within the past two or three weeks, two
separate matters have come before the Board of Architectural Review, one re-
garding a sign and lights attached to the Times-Mirror Building, for which no .
application was made to the Board , the other a case where formal application
was made, but where the work was performed two days prior to the Board's meet-
ing. He said the Board has no rules and regulations to go by, no-one to turn
to to say how they can enforce the requirements of the Board. He asked if they

are just an advisory board for those who want to come before them, or do they
have some recourse if application is not made to the Board. He said the Board
would like to know just where it stands, .as to how' much authority .it..has..
Town. Attorney George Martin says an injunction proceeding may be filed against
those not acting in accordance with Town regulations. Mr. Forbessays anyone
turned down by the Board (although no-onehas yet been turned down) may appeal
to Council if the Board disapproves his application. Councilman Pumphrey said,
as an example, he would cite the neon sign located in front of a Church on
Edwards Ferry Road , which is entirely too bright and quite disturbing. It was
brought out by Mr. Ritter that he expected to talk to the parties involved about
this sign.
Mayor Rollins presented the following resolution and, there being no ob-
jection to it being considered tonight, it was seconded by Councilman Orr and
unanimously adopted :

Upon motion of Councilman Fishback, seconded by Councilman Pumphrey, the
following resolution was placed on the floor for discussion:
WHEREAS, the Town Council , at its meeting on September 8, 1965, adopted
a set of Standards governing the design and construction of streets,
and
WHEREAS, it has now been found necessary to revise these Standards
to provide for a thicker application of Plant Mix in order to assure
the ' Town of getting a more durable street,
•
041, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of
Leesburg, that the above Standards be amended to read: •
"The contractor shall have an authorized consulting firm to take
cores of the subgrade as directed by the Town Manager at such lo-
cations that would be representative of the material present. The
cores shall be tested to determine an analysis of the soil' and the
results of the analysis shall be given to the Town Manager, with rec-
ommendations from the consulting firm as to remedy of unsuitable ma-
terial. The following is a suggested design for a soil consisting
of a minimum CBR value of 10:
Uponcompletion of the subgrade to the satisfaction of the Town
Manager, compaction tests shall be made by a recognized consult
ing firm, and subgrade re-rolled if necessary, including the -sub-
grade over previously excavated ditches for water, sewer, storm
drains and other utilities, in order to obtain at least 95% of maxi-
mum theoretical density.
All of the above shall be at the expense of the contractor.
After completion ofthe subgrade to proper density and shape, a
sub-base consisting of crushed stone, Grading C or Type 21, shall
be placed with a compacted thickness of 5". Should the CBR value be
less than 10, additional thickness of sub-base and/or black base
will be required.
The sub-base shall receive a prime coat of RCO at the rate of 0.3
gal. per sq. yd. Cover material shall .be applied at .the discretion
of the Town Manager.
Black base shall consist of 214" compacted thickness of B-3, and 11¢"
compacted thickness of S-4. • A tack coat of RC-2 shall be placed be-
tween the two courses. The above material shall meet the Virginia
Department of Highways Specifications and shall be placed in accord-
ance with their Standards.
•
The contractor shall furnish, prior to final acceptance of any con-
struction, a defect bond to run for a period of one year from date
of final acceptance of such construction, guaranteeing the Town
against any defects in material or workmanship. The amount of the
bond shall be for the amount of the contract."
•
Mr. Ritter explained that the purpose of this resolution would be to give the
Town a better road, both -by subdividers and streets let out to other contractors.

unanimously that this resolution be amended by changing the first paragraph to
read as follows: •
"The contractor shall have cores taken of the subgrade as directed
by the Town Manager, etc. "
