A regular meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in the Council Chambers , 10 West Loudoun Street , Leesburg , Virginia , on May 23, 1973 at 7 :30 P.M. The meeting was called to order by the Mayor, with a prayer being offered by Councilman Wallace . Those present were : Mayor GclDewey Hill, Councilmen Walter F . Murray , Robert A. Orr, Her- bert L. Ridder, C. Terry Titus and John A. Wallace , Jr. ; also Acting Town Manager .Robert C . Forbes and Town Attorney George M. Martin. Ab- sent from the meeting was Councilman John W. Pumphrey . The Minutes of the regular meeting of May 9, 1973 were approved as written. A large group of residents from Ayrlee Subdivision was present at the meeting, protesting the opening of North Ayr Street from that Subdivision as an entrance to the rear of the new Hospital. Mr. Don Huckleberry, acting as spokesman , said that a .Petition to this effect had been submitted to Council. He felt that this is a residential area and could see no reason for opening this street to trucks , etc . to come through this area . Mr. Larry Browne asked if there is any good reason for such an entrance - it would seem inconvenient to approach it from that entrance when there are two other entrances . The streets in the subdivision are fairly narrow and there are always parked cars . He also called attention to the fact that there are 14 or more chil- dren playing in the area and riding bicycles . He said if there were some good reason for this entrance , he might be happy to have it. Mr. Dan Baker, who resides on Ayrlee Avenue and says he is not di- rectly affected by such a street , protested the manner in which a $7 ,000,000 addition to the Hospital is being constructed. He cited the fact that, instead of running power lines into the front of the building , they were taking them into the back and utilizing land of those in the back of the Hospital without permission. He came home one day and found a pole sunk on the back of his lot and, the next day , the wires were up, all done with no thought to those people it might affect. Mr. Delano Jenkins also could not see this as an ex- pedient entrance to the Hospital, believing that either from Route 7 or the road going by the water tower would be better entrances than going through Ayrlee Subdivision where so many turns would have to be made. Mrs . Stanley T . Greene , Sr. said such a street would depreci- ate the value of hers and other properties , since it would be a con- venience for screaming ambulances and for maintenance men. She said she is against it and she intends to stand there and see that it is not done . Councilman Titus explained that the plan calls for major access to the Hospital off of Market and Cornwall Streets . Councilman Orr said he understood this was to be an emergency exit only and he could not see that there would be a lot of truck and high-speed traffic. It is only to serve the parking lot . Mayor Hill said that, when he returned the original Petition to Mrs . Greene , he understood that she merely wanted to add a few names and then return it, which she did. Mrs . Greene said that former Mayor Rollins' had promised there would be a hearing before this street was opened. Mayor H•xll said this street has always been on the drawing boards as a through street, which would have meant a street about 60 to 70 feet wide , with probable higher speeds , as well as much more traffic than it would have this way. He said he had talked with Colonel Valentine after Mrs . Greene called and asked them to do nothing until these people could be heard. The plans presented to the Town stated that this was needed for an emergency fire exit and Colonel Valentine said it is incumbent for them to have it there . The only thing it can be now is a service street. The only time ambulances would be using it would be if they were serving someone in that neighborhood, for which residents might be glad if they were the one being served a little faster because the street was there . Mr. John Byers asked if this street is to be open all around the building and said they are saving the beauty of the Hospital by hav- ing the garbage and other service trucks go in the back way. He sug- gested the use of Gibson Street for this purpose. Councilman Titus explained that there is no direct access from Gibson Street. This is not a through street and will eventually be closed off. Councilman Murray said that, when the Hospital 's plan was presented and it was 65 MINUTES OF MAY 23, 1973 MEETING. ' found that the building encroached on the future Ayr Street, as shown on the Major Thorofare Plan, the Planning Commission was asked to study this as to whether or not the Town wanted to close off"Ayr Street completely or continue it around the Hospital. It was the Commission 's recommendation to Council that it not be closed off entirely . Mr. Byers thought this a bad move and asked that "Slow" signs at least be provided for the children. Councilman Orr said the front street will be a tremendous one of three levels , with one level being for a service entrance . He said he had looked at Ayr Street yesterday and knew it would mean more traffic , however, he compared this with circumstances in his own neighborhood, Prospect Hills, where Catoctin Circle is be- ing cut through and will connect Route 7 and Route 15 . He said that it is necessary that the Hospital have this street for an emergency entrance and exit for fire protection. There was some discussion re- garding the possibility of various types of signs being placed at this location. Mr. Byers could not understand why Gibson Street, which is on the Hospital property , would be closed. Councilman Titus ex- plained that it is a public street and belongs to the Town and Coun- cilman Orr said it will lead only to the old Hospital, not the new one . The temporary gravel road will be closed - the Hospital' has sold this piece of land for a future medical building, however, perhaps this could be negotiated with the Hospital . Co Councilman Orr suggested that a spokesman from the Hospital be invited to come and talk with these people . Mayor Hill said he had tried unsuccessfully to do this tonight. He referred this matter back to the Street Committee and asked that they see if they can se- cure a spokesman from the Hospital to meet with the Committee next Tuesday. It was also suggested that some of these people might like to be present for this meeting . Mr. Roger Caulkins asked if there was any assurance' that no further work would be done on opening the street . Mayor Hill said the Town will do all that the Town Attorney advises they can do . Acting Town Manager Robert Forbes reported as follows : • (1) Mr. Ritter is out of intensive care and progressing satis- factorily. He is expected home next week. (2) The State Highway Department has mailed out a list of ten- tative allocatiorgof interstate , primary and urban construction funds for the next fiscal year. $2,700,000 is shown as a supplemental al- location to continue dual-laning of the proposed By-Pass and Rt . 7 west, $75 ,000 as the initial allocation for Market Street from Ca- toctin Circle to the east corporate limits and $75 ,000 a supplemental allocation for King Street from Catoctin Circle to the By-Pass . (3) Mr. Sam Thomas called this week and said the number of dis- abled veterans eligible for free Town stickers is estimated to be 12 to 15 . Their eligibility is determined by a Veterans Affairs Com- mittee and they are issued cards . Only those presenting cards to the Treasurer would be eligible . (4) Arrangements have been made to have Special Police to ac- company the sewer line inspection crews being furnished by the Build- er 's Advisory Committee next Wednesday night. Councilman Ridder reported that Mayor Hill, Mr. Forbes and he attended a meeting today at the Northern Virginia Planning District Commission in Falls Church to discuss regional planning for sewer fa- cilities. Leesburg is a part of this area under consideration, which area includes Western Fairfax , Dulles Airport,- Herndon and Reston. Attending this meeting were representatives from the State Water Con- trol Board, staff members of NVPDC, Fairfax, Mr. Hallett of the Loudoun ,County Sanitation Authority and a representative of the Interstate Task Force. A plan was presented for approaching this study and to • complete it, which basically included four (4) steps, as follows : (1) an analysis of the Blue Plains situation, particularly to determine - what sewage is allotted to the various Virginia jurisdictions - this would take approximately two months ; (2) an analysis of treatment methodology - a study of how treatment can be effected - what sites are available , how much land would be required if they go to a sprayy irrigation system, which takes large areas of land - this study would take about four months ; (3) development and analysis of alternatives , 66 MINUTES OF MAY 23 , 1973 MEETING. which would take about six months after the first two steps have been completed; and (4) Plan preparation once the best approach is deter- mined. He said if Leesburg can be a study area by itself, presumably we could go ahead (probably this would be determined at the end of four months of this study) . However, the State Water Control Board indicated that, in such an eventuality, they would have to be. strongly convinced that this is the way it would have to be. If these ideas don 't work out, they will have to determine what is the way for us to go. Hopefully, this entire study can be completed in a year, but a lot of this depends on other jurisdictions turning in the' required information, such as population projections , so that amount of sewage requirement can be decided. It is felt that some of the jurisdic- tions down in the Fairfax area are not in any tremendous hurry for this this is a perfect way to stymie growth by not cooperating. He felt that this study effort, with the helpof the Executive Di- rector, Mr. John Epling , would be tailored so that something a little more final might be determined in a few months . They are also look- ing for a study area whereby Leesburg could be dropped out and deter- mine what kind of treatment plant would be neededfor the Leesburg area . A consultant may be hired within a month. The cost is esti- mated to be upwards of $60,000. for this study. He said they are semi- encouraged - not discouraged, but not elated either. He thinksthey are making some progress , but will not know anything more for another four months . Mr. Forbes said this could be as much as five months, since it will be another month before they hire consultants . Council- man Titus said it was his understanding that the Northern Virginia Planning District Commission and the State Water Control Board do not agree . Mr. Ridder said the Water Control Board is not convinced that breaking Leesburg out to itself is the most cost effective way to do this. If Leesburg cannot be broken out to itself, then there will be no alternative but to put up the money ourselves . Mayor Hill said we would still have to meet the requirements of quality, etc. of the Water Control Board, even if we put up our own money. Mr. Ridder said we still do not know where we stand with regard to our priority list, nor how long before funding would be available if we told our consultants to go ahead with plans . Councilman Wallace reported that the Airport Advisory Committee met last week - they are an eager, knowledgeable and good business group of people and he believes it will be a very productive group. They spent Monday afternoon going over the facilities and will be getting together again to start finding their objectives . He hopes they will come back with some ideas about the Master Plan of the Air- port. Councilman Titus asked that Mr. Blackwell attend the next Street Committee meeting to go over the various projects on which he has been working since he will be leaving that firm shortly. He also compli- mented Mr. Hyatt and Mr. Keyes and their crew on the night work they have done on the inserting valves - he believed these men deserve credit for the work they have done . Mr. Titus also asked where we stand with Mr. Parker insofar as the Health Department problem and the junk cars are concerned. He personally feels it is time to take some action. Town Attorney George Martin said he had talked with Mr. Rollins , as Trustee , and he has said he will try to come up with a solution. The Trustees are in control of the corporation that owns the property. Mr. Titus asked if the Health Department does not have the right to take some action in a situation of this kind. Mr. Forbes said if it jeopardizes a water supply , the Health Department would let the Town know they are going to take some action. A water and sewer line in the same ditch is just not permitted. Mr. Martin suggested that Mr. Rollins meet with the Utility Committee on this matter, he thinks it better to handle this through the Trustees , rather than by legal action. Mayor Hill said the Health Department has more power than we realize and they can do as they did a couple of months ago, shut off the whple Town. Mr. Titus suggested that we resort to legal action if we can ' t get some other action on this. Mr. Titus also asked if we have had any response on the Country Club standpipe yet. Mr. Forbes said Johnson and Williams picked the wrong elevation, therefore, the size of the tank would be affected. They are going to look at it again and contact him and he, in turn, will have to contact Mr. Jennings . He sent out bids on a 3 m.g .d. tank and. chances are that this would be larger than necessary. He will continue to work with them on this . Mr. Titus said they should meet on the Potomac standpipe at the next meeting without further delay. 6t MINUTES OF MAY 23 , 1973 MEETING. . On motion of Councilman Ridder, seconded by Councilman Murray, the following resolution was placed on the floor for discussion : BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg, that Johnson and Williams be authorized to proceed with plans for interim treatment measures at the Leesburg Water Pollu- tion Control Facility, while awaiting the development of a regional plan by the Northern Virginia Planning District Commission. Councilman Titus explained that this is the study Johnson and Williams is supposed to do on the chemical treatment at the Sewage Treatment Plant. He has met with the Water Control Board and is going to go ahead with this as an interim measure until the NVPDC decides what we an going to do. He asked if we have a proposal from Johnson and Williams on this . Mr. Forbes said we have not. Mr. Titus thought this left an open door unless it is tied down. He also said, if we can ' t get any action from them on this, then perhaps we should get another consultant . He did not think we should spend the taxpayers ' money like this. Mr. Forbes did not know if they had been requested to submit a proposal . Both Councilmen Murray and Ridder withdrew Cfl their motion and, on motion of Councilman Wallace, seconded by Coun- CC cilman Ridder, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg , that Johnson and Williams be requested to submit a proposal setting forth the estimated cost of engineering and construc- tion plans for interim treatment measures at the Leesburg Water Pollution Control Facility, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this proposal be submitted in writing to the Street Committee by May 29th for their recom- mendation, and • BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this proposal set forth a time schedule for completion of various stages for this proposed project. On motion of Councilman Titus , seconded by Councilman Wallace, the following resolution was proposed: WHEREAS, a Builders Advisory Committee on Water and Sewer has been formed by Leesburg developers , and WHEREAS, the said Builders Advisory Committee on Water and Sewer has offered its services to the Town to inspect the sewerage system and locate points of excessive infiltration of storm water, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg, that permssion be andrthe same is hereby granted to The Builders Advisory Committee on Water and Sewer to conduct an inspection of the sewerage system and report its findings to the Council . On motion of Councilman Titus , seconded by Councilman Wallace, the following amendment was offered, to add at the end : "If private property is to be :entered, an agent of the Town will accompany .any member of the Committee." Councilman Murray believed that an agent of the Town should be with these people at all times , not just on private property. Mayor Hill explained that the Special Police will be out that night - this is just a one-night stand. This is something that is unheard of - people who are trying to do business with the Town wanting to help with their problems . They will be bringing in 12 crews of at least two men each, • who will attempt to inspect every manhole in Town. This Committee will report back what they find and make recommendations as to how we should correct the problems they find - they are well acquainted with the problems found in manholes . It would take the Town a long time and be very costly to conduct this study. He explained that it b 8: MINUTES OF MAY 23 , 1973 MEETING. is being done at night because there is a drastic drop in flow be- tween the hours of 11 :00 P.M. and 5 :00 A .M. and most of what they see should be infiltration. Councilman Ridder suggested that some publicity on this projest would probably be helpful. It was de- cided that the n Pasflf4`sY$ublicize this , as well as the radio sta- tion even though it is short notice for the Times-Mirror for this weekis paper. The amendment was then unanimously adopted, and the resolution, as amended, unanimously adopted. Councilman Titus asked if a member of Council could act as an agent for the Town. Town At- torney Martin said he could. On motion of Councilman Murray, seconded by Councilman Orr, the following resolution was unanimously adopted, although Mayor• Hill said he had received some calls concerning the last carnival held in Vir- ginia Village and perhaps we should make free licenses contingent on leaving the grounds in as good a condition as found : BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the -Town of Leesburg, that the license tax fee required under Sec. 21-33 of the Mu- nicipal Code be waived for The Central Loudoun Little League on May 28 through June 2 , 1973 . On motion of Councilman Titus , seconded by Councilman Ridder, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg, that the Acting Town Manager be and he is hereby authorized to engage the fine of Loudoun Engineering and Surveys to prepare a plat and legal description of the Richard Clark property proposed for street widening . On motion of Councilman Wallace, seconded by Councilman Ridder, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg, that the following appropriations be made : • $21, 349.40 - Southern Line Cleaning, Inc . - Utility Fund- Capital Outlay. 1,076 .00 - C . E. Nance & Sons , Inc. - Invoice #1936 - Utility Fund-Capital:0utlay. 1, 179.00 - C. E.

The Southern Line Cleaning bill was discussed and it was explained that the above amount is for work already done . However, Mayor Hill : ... asked that it be impressed upon these people that, if they can ' t com- plete the contract , we will get somebody else that can. On motion of Councilman Wallace, seconded by Councilman Orr, the following resolution was unanimously adopted after explanation by Mayor Hill of the many advantages that could be derived from belonging to such a group : WHEREAS, an organization has been formed for all Mayors of Incorporated Towns in the County of Loudoun, which will dis- cuss the common problems of the various towns , and 69 MINUTES OF MAY 23 , 1973 MEETING . - WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg feels that this organization will be helpful to the Town and the County _as,well, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town • of Leesburg, that the Mayor be and he is hereby authorized to join the Loudoun County Council of Mayors . • On motion of Councilman Wallace, seconded by Councilman Titus , the following resolution was unanimously adopted : BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg, that the Acting Town Manager be and he is hereby authorized and directed to have published in the Loudoun Times-Mirror on May 31, 1973 and June 7 , 1973 , for Public Hearing on June 13 , 1973, the tentative Budget and tentative tax rate shown as $1.00 on real estate, $1.00 on personal property and $ .80 on bank stock. On motion of Councilman Wallace, seconded by Councilman Murray, ' the following resolution was unanimously adopted : O BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg, that the Acting Town Manager be and he is hereby authorized and directed to have published in the Metro-Virginia News C: on June 3, 1973 , OMB Form 48-R0503 , showing a proposed use of $38 ,913 .00 in Revenue Sharing monies , as designated by the Council. On motion of Councilman Orr, seconded by Councilman Murray, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg, that the accounting firm of Yount, Hyde & Company , Certi- fied Public Accountants , be and the same is hereby author- , ized to conduct the annual audit for the Town of Leesburg . On motion of Councilman Ridder, seconded by Councilman Murray, the following resolution was offered : BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg, that the Town Treasurer be and he is hereby authorized to accept payment from Green Acres Associates for sewer availa- bility fees to serve seven (7) lots in Loudoun Hills Sub- division, Section 1 , numbered 11, 12 , 15 , 16 , 123, 128 and 129, at the rate of $300.00 each for sewer. Mr. Forbes said these were not all under contract and Councilman Titus explained that several of these are under contract at the present time, however, all were written after Februarx With. He said Mr. Spain is due a hardhip because he is hooked on?is paying water bills . The Committee put this on the Agenda for the Council to vote on, but he did not believe the Committee was unanimousi in its feelings . Councilman Ridder said this is a case that falls in the "gray area as to how it should be handled - it doesn ' t particularly follow the guidelines set up by Council. If a man is hooked on and using water and sewer and paying his bill, it would seem that there is an im- plied idea that he has been approved for water and sewer - he didn ' t see that this could be done any other way.H He said he did not know how it was handled in the office but, if the man has water and sewer and is using it, he does not see how the developer could be blamed for this . Councilman Orr moved to table this until they know more about what is going on in this case, however, this died for lack of a second. Mr. Chaves said they would have to find out- how this was paid. Mr. Spain said the construction was done in 1971 in sequences of 10 houses , then 11 houses and then 7 houses . In September of 1972, Mr. deLashmutt hooked into water and sewer because he was putting in other improvements . They paid for all water taps in Section 1 and for four in Section 2 in September. - Mr. Creeger was paying $400 for sewer taps at the time of settlement. He said they had stated to the Committee on two occasions that he felt it unethical for the Town to cut these off - the connections were functioning way before February 14th. He said they have paid the Town a great deal• of money, which is being held. Councilman Wallace was not pleased that these situa- tions seem to be handled one way and then another. Mayor Hill asked if this could happen again and it was pointed out that Mr. Forbes 70 MINUTES OF MAY 23 , 1973 MEETING . . could not issue a Zoning Certificate until all fees are paid. A vote of 5 to I adopted the above resolution, with Councilman Wallace cast- ing the dissenting vote. On motion of Councilman Orr, seconded by Councilman Ridder, the following resolution was offered : BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg, that the Acting Town Manager be arid he is hereby authorized to engage the firm of Dewberry, Nealon & Davis for the pur- pose of preparing a preliminary plan on moving of utilities within the right-of-way of the proposed By-Pass and submit- ting a cost estimate to the Highway Department before June 15 , 1973 . (Dewberry, Nealon & Davis ' cost not to exceed $2,000) . Mr. Forbes explained that the Highway Department requires that this cost estimate be submitted by June 15th. It entails the moving of water and sewer lines to the south of Dry Mill Subdivision, as well as involving the work we propose to do to the Myers Well. The engi- neers will advise: the Town and check with the State Health Department to determine how the well house is to be treated within the median strip, if necessary to put it there . It is possible that a vault can be constructed, rather than a house , so that we would have access to the well itself, with the chlorinating equipment off of the right-of- way . The engineers are well aware that time is of essence and they can get this job done by June 15th. These lines have to remain in operation at all times , so it involves a lot of work. The roadways will have to be depressed add the sewer line lowered approximately 6 feet. He said the Highway Department indicated they would pay for the actual physical moving of the utilities , but they did not say they would pay for the engineering costs . Councilman Wallace asked Mayor Hill to write a letter to the Highway Department , requesting that they pay for these engineering costs . There was some discussion about these costs , however, it was felt this is a necessity, even if they will not pay for them. Mayor Hill said we would not want to argue with them too much over this , since it took 1' days to sal- vage the Myers Well, which they wanted to abandon. Councilman Titus asked that Mayor Hill include in his letter a request that easements for the Town to get to the Well property be given by the Highway De- partment . The above resolution was then unanimously adopted. On motion of Councilman Titus , seconded by Councilman Ridder, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg, that the proposal by Sydnor Hydrodynamics , Inc . dated April 30, 1973 to rework the Myers Well be and the same is hereby accepted, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proposal by Sydnor Hydro- dynamics , Inc . , per telephone conversation on May 10, 1973 , to furnish a 40 horsepower pump, pipe and strainer and labor for installation for $6 ,400 be and the same is hereby accepted. On motion of Councilman Murray, seconded by Councilman Wallace, the following resolution was offered for consideration: BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg , that the Town Treasurer be and he is hereby authorized and directed to issue a check to Hand Properties , Inc. in the amount of $400 for refund of a portion of the water and sewer availability fees charged for Medical Buildings on Gibson Street . There was a great deal of discussion concerning the above and it was pointed out that no drawings of the interior plans of the buildings had been furnished to the Town from which to figure the number of fixture units in the buildings . . Mr. Alderman had claimed he was late in submitting his claim for hardship because he did not know about a deadline for such submission ; also, he felt he was due this considera- tion because he was , in effect, already hooked into the line before the moratorium. It was found that the tap he had was for construc- tion use only . Mr. Alderman said the smaller tap was made at that If MINUTES OF MAY 23 , 1973 MEETING. - time because the proper size tap was not available . He said he had paid charges in the amount of approximately $7 ,000, and figured he had a refund of approximately $3 ,000 due him. A. recalculation of figures , based on the number. of units the Committee understood were in the buildings , yielded the figure of $400 as a refund. CouncilI. - man Murray offered the following amendment to the above, to. be added at the end: "said refund due to an overcharge in previous amount. paid. " -: However, this was not seconded and was later withdrawn by Mr. Murray. Further discussion revealed that more fixture units were found to be present on inspection by Mr . Chaves , and the amount was again recal- culated. Mr. Chaves also pointed out that the set of plans the Town has does not agree with the number of fixtures . There was also a question as to whether Mr. Alderman is subject to the new rate. On motion of Councilman Murray, seconded by Councilman Titus , Council voted unanimously to call for the question. It is pointed out, how- ever, that Councilman Orr left the meeting at approximately 9: 20 P.M. , thereby leaving only five (5) members present. A roll call vote on the resolution above unanimously defeated it and Mayor Hill suggested that this be refigured and properly billed. On motion of Councilman Wallace, seconded by Councilman Ridder, the following resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of 3 to 1, and. one abstention, Mayor Hill voting against it and Councilman Titus abstaining: O BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg , that the Town Treasurer be and. he is hereby authorized to accept payment from Sidney Z. Mensh and Co. , Inc . for sewer and water availability fees to serve 24 lots in Leesburg Es- tates Subdivision, Section 3 , numbered 1 through 12, and Section 4,, numbered 1 through 12 , at the rate of $300 each - for sewer and $300 each for water. On motion of Councilman Wallace, seconded by Councilman Titus, the meeting was adjourned at 9:55 P.M. .r/H.I Mayor �G%''� Lar,...,--e-, //reS Clerk o the Council . • . . • ii. . .
