MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL, JANUARY 12, 1972 .
• A regular meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in the Coun-
cil Chambers, 10 West Loudoun Street, Leesburg , Virginia, on January 12,
1972 at 7 :30 P.M. The meeting was called to order by the Mayor, with
Councilman Pumphrey offering the prayer. Those present were : • Mayor
Kenneth B. Rollins , Councilmen G. Dewey Hill, Walter F . Murray, Robert A.
Orr, John W. Pumphrey, C. Terry Titus and John A. Wallace, Jr. ; also
Town Manager James W. Ritter, Jr: and Town Attorney George M. Martin.
•
Councilman Titus called attention to one correction to be made in
the Minutes of the meeting of December 22 on the second page, last para-
, • graph, fourth line to read as follows : "objected to the way it was
handled last week. t' The Minutes , as corrected, were then approved.
Town Manager Ritter reported the following :
(1) There are a number of appropriations on the Agenda to Dewberry ,
• Nealon and Davis , most of which will come out of the 1971 Bond Issue.
Broken down, there will be $14 ,570 from the 1971 Bond Issue, $738.60 from
the Utility Fund and $4, 557 .50 from the General Fund, or a total of
$19,866 . 10 . A good portion of that paid from the General Fund will be
paid back to the Town from subdividers or developers .
tP
CD (2) The appropriation in Item 4 on the Agenda has not been before
ry • the Finance Committee but , in the interest of saving time, it is recom-
4 mended that this amount be appropriated in order to go ahead with our
4t applications to the County for Commission Permits for our Potomac Water
Facility and for Country Club Subdivision, Section 3 . It takes about two
months for these permits to be processed.
(3) The purpose of Item 7 on the Agenda is to permit Town of Lees-
burg Police officers to assist County officers in emergency situations ,
and also so that each man will not have to post a $10 bond as an auxiliary
officer.
(4) The matter of the return of the certified check to Mr. DeHart
I
for physical improvements in Raefield Subdivision has not been before the
Committee, however, these improvements have been made and the check should
be returned.
(5) The resolution attached tb the Agenda was prepared while the
Agenda was being run . It concerns the determination of flood control
-lines along the Tuscarora Creek and the Town Branch within .the Town and
within the one mile outside of Town. In a meeting with Mr. Les King
of the Loudoun Soil and Water Conservation District last Friday, it was
found that they would like to make application for us to the U . S. Corps of
Engineers , who it is understood would do this work at no cost to the Town.
He felt that we should have wording in the resolution to this effect,
however.
(6) The letter attached to the Agenda from Fitton Investment Com-
pany should be disregarded. A later letter from them. states theyhave
terminated their contract to acquire the property and are withdrawing
their request to appear before the Council . •
(7) The appraisal on the Bastien property came in after the Committee
meeting , however, a copy of Mr. Kline ' s appraisal is attached and he feels
that, in the interest of saving time and in order not to hold up the con-
tractor, this offer should be made immediately .
(8) Wendell Kline is working on the appraisal of the Rust easement
•
I
on Route 7 .
(9) - Southern Line Cleaning Co . started work on flushing out the
• sewer lines on North and Harrison Streets this afternoon . This has to
be done before the TV inspection of the lines .
(10) He has been working on the application for final payment on our
Federal Grant on the Sewer Program . It looks like we should get around
$119 ,000. The final cost of our sewer projects was $2 ,063 ,739, of which
$619,121, or 307, is reimbursed by the Federal Government .

. MINUTES OF JANUARY 12 , 1972 MEETING.
(11) On the VEPCO easement for the Douglass Relief Sewer, Mr. Flint
called from VEPCO this afternoon and said he has the executed easement,
however, he has been instructed to pick up the check when he delivers the
Deed. : Therefore, they would like to write the check tomorrow.
•
-Councilman Wallace asked to whom the dirt belongs that is piled up
in a pocket next to the W. & O. D. Railroad and Dry Mill Road, and said it
is standing full of water now. Mr. Forbes said this land belongs to Mr.
Curry . —_
Councilman Wallace also asked how the $500 ,000 was invested. Mr. •
Ritter said First and Merchants gave the highest rate of interest of the
three Banks contacted. The money was, therefore, invested with them,
the interest rates being 4 . 28% for $2501000 for 120 days, and 4 . 53% for =y
$250,000 for 180 days.
Mr. Wallace also said he had observed Chamcey Smith directing traffic
•
at Catoctin Circle and the Route 7 intersection with Fort Evans Road, and
he believes this situation should be corrected. Mr. Ritter advised that
Chancey Smith is no longer working this traffic , he had too many complaints
regarding his attitude and the way in which he was handling traffic: They
have no substitute at this time.
Councilman Titus asked the status of the Master Plan funds . Mr.
Ritter said Joe Lake called today and we have received no written notice ': _
from Richmond at all. They met with the State Planning Board about a month or so ago and were told verbally that we could not get any money,
but we have nothing in writing . Joe is going to make a request through
HUD, he feels this is the next step. If we get nothing from than , then
they will go back to Richmond again. •
•
Councilman- Titus also asked if anything has been done about getting
Christmas decorations for next year. Mr. Ritter said we have looked
at the magazines, but have gotten no prices yet .
Mr. Titus asked that the Street Committee, at its next meeting,
discuss the possibility of what will have to be done if and when they
find that roof drains are coming into the sanitary sewer where we are
having the lines cleaned. Mr. Ritter said he thinks we will make these
people take them out.
Mr. Titus also xiim asked about Mr. Parker ' s cars , whether Mr. Engle
is going to have them moved or not . Town Attorney Martin said he is go-
ing to have to bring him into Court. -
Mayor Rollins asked for an explanation of the story in the newspaper
about the Police officers and said he is not too concerned about what hap-
pened, but he is concerned as to how the press got it and thinks it is
very derogatory. Mr. Ritter said he is concerned as to how the press got
it too, but they knew the whole story when they called him and just wanted
it confirmed. He then explained to Council just what happened between the
officers and the fact that both had come to him about it, both separately
and together. He said they were suspended for one day. Councilman Wal-
lace believed the press might have gotten this story since it went out
over the Police radio to the Sheriff 's Department. Mr. Rollins said he
did not think this type of thing should be in the paper, but should be
handled privately. If they are going to be fired, it should be done in-
ternally - whatever. it is , it should not be blasted across the paper -
he thinks somebody was guilty of leaking this to the press . Perhaps Mr.
Wallace was right about how this got out. Councilman Murray said the
press has a monitor, but Councilman Hill said they do not get this kin
of information on the radio . He asked if there is any real friction
between the Town Police and the Sheriff 's Department. ' Mr. Ritter said
there is none that he knows of and he, feels that they work well together.
Mayor Rollins aske that Mr. Chaves make certain that, whenever de-
velopers, homeowners , orVPown, or whoever digs a trench for water or sewer
lines, it is compacted so that we do not have sinking like we have had in
the past several years . He cited Prospect Hills as an example, where there
is a washboard effect . He asked that Mr. Chaves see that these ditches are
properly compacted.

MINUTES OF JANUARY 12, 1972 MEETING.
. A Public Hearing was held at this time on Application Number ZM-6
by James T. and Esta P. .Jackson to have rezoned from R-2 to B-1 a parcel
of land containing 3. 2572 acres , located on the south side of Gibson
Street . Dr. James T. Jackson said that the purpose of the rezoning is
to provide space for doctors ' offices near the Hospital. This property
joins the Hospital on the west and on the north, separated by Gibson
Street on the north. Several months ago, the Hospital Administrator
said this would be a wonderful place for a doctors ' office building and,
since that time, several doctors have come to him, asking that he try to
arrange for an office building on this property. There are two or three
I
men interested in building such a building , but the zoning. has to be
changed in order to do this . He feels that it would be an advantage to
have the doctors nearby , particularly since there are. no resident physi-
cians at the Hospital . It would also be advantageous to the Town since
the laboratory and emergency facilities would be close by. There is space
for ample parking for both doctors and patients in this area. The pres-
ent plan would be for one two-story building , but there is space enough
for two buildings. These buildings would be built in accordance with
Town regulations . There are six properties adjoining this property and
he has talked with all the residents adjoining it, as well as those on
Cornwall Street from Ayr Street to Liberty Street . No-one has any ob-
eP C jection to this office building and a good many of these ?eople are very
much in favor of it . He said he would appreciate Council s consideration.
hCouncilman Titus asked if he is going to develop the property himself.
a He said he would have ultimate control over how the land is developed,
p but he is going to lease it . Mayor Rollins said he understood that the
Loudoun County Health Department would move into this building . Dr. Jack-
son said he knows nothing about this . Primarily , the lease specifies that
it is to be an office building for doctors, but will possibly include a
pharmacy and other professional offices . Councilman Orr said he thinks
the building is definitely needed - Doctors Cavanaugh, Boone and Roberts
are all in crowded quarters and need a place to go - and there will be
new doctors coming in also . Councilman Pumphrey said Gibson Street is an
unimproved street and something will have to be done about this . He asked
whose responsibility it will be to surface this street . Mr. Forbes ex-
. plained that this is a Town street and was built by the Town. He explained
II that the Town bought the land where the standpipe is adjacent to the Hos-
pital several years ago and the Council actually subdivided the land into
8 square foot lots and kept the area in the center for the standpipe,
providing for a 50-foot right-of-way which is now Gibson Street. At a
later date, a future Council decided that they :should not be in the sub-
division business , so they vacated all of the lot lines , with the excep-
tion of the area around the .standpipe and a 16-foot road from the stand-
pipe property to Old Waterford Road. They dedicated 104 or 15 feet for
the widening of Old Waterford Road and 50 feet .for-Gibson Street. The
balance of the land wassoldto the Hospital. There were no objections
to this rezoning application.
On motion of Councilman Wallace, seconded by Councilman Orr, the
following Ordinance was offered :
WHEREAS, Rezoning Application #ZM-6 by James T. and Esta P.
Jackson has been duly processed, in accordance with the re-
quirements .of the Leesburg Zoning Ordinance and the 1950 Code
of Virginia , as amended, and
WHEREAS, the proposed rezoning has been determined to be in
the, best interest of the Town of Leesburg ,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Council for the Town of
Leesburg , Virginia, that the Leesburg Zoning Ordinance be and
the same is hereby amended by changing the Zoning Map as follows :
From R-2 to B-1, the land of James T. and Esta P. Jackson, con-
taining 3 . 2572 acres , located on the south side of Gibson Street,
bounded by Gibson Street on the north, Mrs . Carrie Valentine and
Mrs . Grace C. Frye on the east, James T. and Esta .P. Jackson, Mr.
•
and Mrs . A. S. Jenkins , Jr. and Mr. Brewster Cornwell on the south
and the, Loudoun Memorial Hospital on the west. .
Mayor Rollins asked if this land goes as far west as the location of the
present road going into the Hospital . Dr. Jackson said it goes as far
as the east end of the Hospital, about 15 or 20 feet to the east of the
present road. There was some discussion as to access to this building

and Councilman Hill asked where the main entrance would be. Dr. Jackson
said this would be from Gibson Street. Dr. John Wynkoop said he is very
much in favor of this building , there is an advantage to having:an office
building this close to the Hospital. The above Ordinance was then unani-
mously adopted by a roll call vote .
A Public Hearing was then held on proposed amendments to the Lees-
burg Zoning Ordinance relative to a time limit on the validity of Zoning
Certificates and site plans . No-one spoke either for or against this
amendment and, on motion of Councilman Pumphrey , seconded by Councilman
Wallace, the following Ordinance was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, the following amendments to the Leesburg Zoning Ordi-
nance have been duly processed, in accordance with the require-
ments of the Leesburg Zoning Ordinance and the 1950 Code of Vir-

the Certificate was obtained has not been initiated by that time ,
said Certificate must be renewed. "
Amend Section 9-2-1 by adding a new paragraph, as follows :

There was a great deal of discussion with regard to these bills , especi-
ally as to why so many of these plans were reviewed by Dewberry , Nealon
and Davis , rather than by the Public Works Department. Explanations were ,
given by Mr. Ritter on most of these . Councilman Titus asked for progress
reports on several Public Works projects under study by Dewberry, Nealon
and Davis , and Mr. Ritter brought, Council up-to-date on these. Also,
Councilman Wallace asked about the Urban Project on Route 15 . The above
C resolution was then unanimously adopted.
Cz, On motion of Councilman Pumphrey, seconded by Councilman Hill, the
r^. following resolution was offered:
G
BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg,
that Johnson and Williams be authorized to proceed with a
"Water System Study, " to include the entire area of the com-
prehensive plan, at a maximuth cost of $10,500, in accordance
with their letter of December 21, 1971 .
A proposal submitted by Dewberry, Nealon and Davis on this project was
also discussed. Mr. Williams of Johnson and Williams was present and
said he had been to Leesburg three times on this project and had, at the
request of the Council, met once with Mr. Chaves , Mr. Forbes and Mr. Rit-
ter to determine just what would be included in this study. Council
members asked various questions of 'Mr. Williams as to just what their
study would include and he explained in detail . On motion of Councilman
Wallace, seconded by Councilman Orr, Council voted by a roll call vote of
6 to 1, with Mayor Rollins casting the dissenting vote, to table this
matter at this time, to be brought before the next session of Council with
a recommendation from the Utility Committee .
Mayor Rollins asked Mr. Williams if he had set up a meeting with HUD
on the possibility of a Federal Grant for the Potomac River Water Project.
Mr. Williams said they had not been able to ' find out anything and he has
not set up this meeting so far. Mayor Rollins said he had talked with
someone in HUD, who said they needed more information from Johnson and
Williams and from the Town, and that it would take about 30 days after
they get this information . Mr. Williams said he would set up a meeting
with them.
•
Councilman Pumphrey again brought up the proposal on the Water Study
and called attention to the fact that Johnson and Williams ' proposal was
to do this work in six months , whereas Dewberry, Nealon and Davis said
they could do this work in 90 days . Mr. Williams , at this time, said he
was considering withdrawing their proposal, he does not feel that this
type of study should be done on a competitive basis and he believes the
Town would be better off to select an engineering firm in which they have
confidence and then negotiate with them. He then definitely withdrew
their proposal. He said he could not do this job in 90 days and do it
like he thinks it should be done . Mr. Ritter said we have had a lot of
experience with both firms and he would not recommend one against the
other, it is up to Council to make the decision. Mr. -Williams said if
Council cannot negotiate with the other firm, then they will be glad to
talk with them about it again . No further action was taken on this mat-
ter.
