MINUTES. OF REGULAR MEETING OF LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL, NOVEMBER 22 , 1972 .
A regular meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in the
Council Chambers , 10 West Loudoun Street , Leesburg , Virginia , on No-
vember 22 , 1972 at 7 :30 P.M. The meeting was called to order by the
Mayor, with the prayer being offered by Councilman Hill. Those present
were : Councilmen G. Dewey Hill, Walter F . Murray, Robert A. Orr, John W.
Pumphrey, C. Terry Titus and John A . Wallace, Jr. ; also Acting Town
Manager Robert C. Forbes and Town Attorney George M. Martin.
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of November 8, 1972 were approved
as written .
Mr. Robert Harris appeared on behalf of Wolman Construction Com-
- pany with regard to the sewer easement needed across the Steffey tract .
This sewer route has been surveyed and an offer made to Mr. Steffey
in the amount of $3 ,500 .00 for the easement required. Mr. Steffey in-
formed Council that the previous contract purchaser dropped his contract
and he now has another contract, which looks like it will be acceptable ,
although it may take a week or ten days to work out the details . He
pointed out, however, that the purchaser would want to be in the driver 's
seat insofar as the location of a sewer line is concerned. The contract
is , of course , subject to zoning by the County , and the contract purchaser
would want six months to apply for this rezoning and 12 months to get it "
zoned, so they would be talking about 18 months at the very minimum. Mi':
Harris said this tract of land has been under similar circumstances for
considerable period of time and he feels that , in all fairness to the
contract purchasers of the Holden tract, as well as in the interest of
consistent planning and land use , some action should be taken by the Coun-
cil . He asked that Council institute the necessary proceedings for the
acquisition of the easement in order that this sewer line might be in-
stalled, then the contract purchaser of the Steffey property would be
buying subject to this easement. Councilman Hill asked how they arrived
at the value of the taking of this easement . Mr . Harris said this land
is in a flood plain and they feel they would be enhancing the land and
have made a good offer for the portion needed. Councilman Murray asked
Town Attorney Martin what alternative the Town would have other than
condemnation proceedings . Mr. Martin said there are a lot of serious
problems involved, however , he believes it could be condemned under
early taking . Mr. Steffey said the building of this sewer line could
be of service to any developer if he had the site plan and the trunk sewer
were built in accordance with the taps he would require, however, it
could be detrimental if the taps were not in accord with his plans . Mr.
Harris said he understands that engineering on this line has been done by
consultants for the Town (Dewberry , Nealon and Davis) . Mr . Williamson,
of Wolman Construction Co. , said the line has been designed by the Town ' s
consultants for the entire watershed, so it could not be too small for
Mr. Steffey ' s clients to tap into . Councilman Wallace felt that this
property has been held up long enough, however, this is a rather complex
situation . He would like to see it go back to Committee with respect to
possible condemnation proceedings . Councilman Murray said he would go
along with this , but he would like to give Mr. Steffey 30 days to be sure
he has a buyer. Mr . Harris said they would be willing to go along with
the 30-day period , but would like to see a resolution adopted by Council
after that period of time . The matter was discussed further by Council,
with the general consensus being that , if Mr . Steffey does not have some-
thing more definite by the next Council meeting , Council will determine
what legal action might be taken.
Acting Town Manager Robert C . Forbes reported as follows :
(1) Mrs . Kidwell , mother of Acting Chief of Police Jimmy Kidwell ,
passed away this morning . Funeral services will be held at 2 :00 P.M.
Friday at the Baptist Church .
(2) Mr . Ritter is in the office approximately three hours each day
now.
(3) On November 15th, Mr . Chaves , Dick Blackwell and he met with
representatives of the Highway Department to discuss the proposed Urban
Project on East Market Street from Catoctin Circle to Sycolin Road.
Since the second Urban Project requested by the Town will utilize a full
90-foot right-of-way and will tie into the Sycolin Road-Catoctin Circle
Project, the Highway Department representatives were at first reluctant
to go along with the plan by Dewberry, Nealon and Davis . This plan shows
225

only a part of the existing 80-foot right-of-way being utilized. After
it was explained that the project was a stopgap measure to create an
additional lane on East Market Street and to widen Catoctin Circle to
alleviate an immediate traffic problem, the Highway Department repre-
sentatives accepted the plan with some minor changes .
(4) The design of the traffic signals at the intersection of Market
Street and Catoctin Circle should be an integral part of the above-men-
tioned Urban Project , and it was suggested by Mr. Hawkins of the Urban
Division that a request be made for the design. A resolution to this ef-
fect is on the Agenda .
(5) Since the second Urban Project from Sycolin Road east to the
By-Pass will require 90 feet of right-of-way, of which we have only 80
feet at the present time , five feet of additional right-of-way will be
required on each side . The Highway Department will obtain this if re-
quested to do so , and the resolution on the Agenda authorizes them to
do so . Also , there is a letter before Council members , explaining in
detail the meeting of November 15th .
dr (6) Mrs . Buchanan from the Paxton Home called on November 14th
0 with regard to a large hole in the field approximately 400 feet north
,.. of the Paxton Well . She was concerned for the children in the area and
Cz, the possibility that it had some connection with the Well . He and Mr.
Chaves investigated this with Mrs . Buchanan, Mr. Les King and Mr.
�-+ Goldston at the site , and found the earth had caved in, leaving a hole
at the ground surface approximately 5 feet in diameter and extending to
a depth of about 15 feet . This cave-in poses an immediate danger to
the children and to hunters in the area. It was recommended that it be
filled in as soon as possible , however, It explained that he is not author-
ized to expend funds outside the corporate limits, but suggested that
the Paxton Home Board discuss the matter with Council. If the Council
authorizes , he can make available a backhoe and truck with men to assist.
(7) The rezoning request of Alpha Associates , Inc . is not on the Agenda
for referral to the Planning Commission due to the fact that there was
acdiscrepancy in the acreage . He informed the attorney handling the ap-
plication, but the necessary corrections have not yet been made .
(8) In accordance with Section 4 .3 of the Charter, he informed Council
that Mrs , Hazel Church began work as Receptionist-Secretary on November
16th .
;(9) He talked with Mr. Bourne of Henningson, Durham and Richardson
about the Master Plan for the Airport, and he assured him that copies of
the Preliminary Phase I Report will be delivered next week.
(10) Mr . Weatherholtz has asked for a price to paint the exterior
of the Coospl Building and the apartment buildings , however, he has re-
ceived only7response , that price being $2 ,564 . 00. It is felt that this
is too high and it is recommended that we solicit bids in the early spring
in order to obtain a better price .
(11) The ceiling tile needed to repair the ceiling in the Council
Chambers will be available next week and it will be repaired at that time.
Councilman Wallace said he had asked Town Attorney George Martin
for an opinion as to the Town 's authority to pass an Ordinance with re-
gard to x-rated movies . Mr . Martin ' s reply was that only cities and
counties can pass such an( ordinance�utbezeZore this is a matter for the
County. Councilman Wallace did rea et er prepared by him to the
Vice-President of the theater, which would put him on notice that the
Town would like for him to cooperate in this matter. Councilman Hill
suggested that the petitioners go to counsel for the Board of Supervisors
to request that such an ordinance be adopted . This matter was discussed
further, with the outcome being that Mrs . Wilson, as spokesman for the
Petitioners , would present this matter to the Board of Supervisors, and
Council agreed that the proposed letter from Mr . Wallace be sent to the
Vice-President of the theater.
Councilman Titus asked Mr . Forbes to check to see if a reply has
been received from the Highway Department Resident Engineer stating that
the encroachment on the sidewalk by Jerry 's Florist will not affect the
Town ' s street maintenance payments .
2.26
MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 22 , 1972 MEETING.
Mr . Forbes reported that a form on the final grant payment had been
received from HUD, however, the amount given was $18 ,000 to $19,000 short
of the expected amount .
Councilman Titus reported that he had received complaints from resi-
dents of Country Club Estates concerning trash and debris on the streets..
Mr . Forbes said the Town has no control over this since it is outside the
corporate limits . Councilman Titus asked that the Town try to work with
the Highway Department on this situation until the streets are accepted
by the State .
Councilman Pumphrey also called attention to the mud on Edwards
Ferry Road left by trucksfrom the construction sites in that area,
particularly in the eastbound lane . Mr. Forbes said we have an ordi-
nance covering this and the Police caught one truck driver today. They
were cleaning it up in a very short while . Mr. Pumphrey said if we cannot
make the person responsible for cleaning it up, then he thinks the Town .
should be responsible for this . He also called attention to- the trucks
that are parked on the street in that area at night, with no lights on
them.
Councilman Orr reported that , with regard to a letter from a resi
dent of Cornwall Street complaining about speeding cars on that street,
Acting Chief Kidwell had set up radar and measured the speed of 80 cars .., =:
The maximum speed was 36 mph and the minimum 18 mph . Mr . Forbes said the
complainant has been notified of these findings , and Councilman Orr said
he had asked the Hospital employees not to speed.
Mr . Frank Raflo, member of the Board of Supervisors , commented that
the County is having the same problem with contractors dropping mud on
the streets and roads in the vicinity of Sterling. He suggested that
perhaps the Town and the County might speak in one voice and something
might be done to stop this .
Mr . Raflo addressed Council concerning the installation of indi-
rect
lighting for the County Court House , citing the beauty of the
building since it has been refinished, as well as the protection and
safety such lights would afford. VEPCO has been contacted and given
a rough cost estimate of $750 .00 for this installation. He also had a
rough sketch for this installation. He requested that Council appoint
a member to work witht} m on this project and stated that the County
would be happy to have/Town contribute . He pointed out that these lights
would be County-owned and be a one -time cost, the cost of the current
being a continuing one . It was the general consensus of Council that a
member be appointed and Mayor Rollins appointed Councilman Titus to work
with Mr'. Raflo on this project .
On motion of Councilman Hill , seconded by Councilman Pumphrey , the
following resolution was offered :
BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg ,
that the application by John C . Wright and Son to connect to
and extend the Town 's Water and Sewer Works to serve 132 motel
units and Club House Complex be and the same is hereby approved,
• subject to the availability charges and tap fees being paid in
full .
There was considerable discussion concerning the extension of these lines ,
with the feeling being that an easement should be dedicated to the Town.
Councilman Titus moved to amend the above resolution by adding at the
end the following : "and dedication of suitable easement to -the Town. "
However, this motion was withdrawn and, on motion of Councilman Titus ,
seconded by Councilman Wallace , the resolution was unanimously tabled.
Councilman Orr left the meeting at this time .
On motion of Councilman Wallace , seconded by Councilman Hill, the •
following resolution was unanimously adopted, after some discussion and
assurance by Mr. Logan Jennings of Jeffrey Sneider & Company that $160,000
will remain in the escrow account until the streets are taken over by the
Town and the Highway Department , as well as the fact that the 275 ,000
gallon standpipe will be built by October of next year :
