MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL, OCTOBER 9, 1974.
A regular meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in the
Council Chambers , 10 West Loudcun Street , Leesburg, Virginia, on
October 9, 1974 at 7 : 30 P.M. The meeting was called to order by
the Mayor, with Councilman Orr offering the prayer, and followed by
the Salute to the Flag . Those present were : Mayor G. Dewey Hill,
Councilmen Charles E . Bange, Mary Anne Newman , Robert A. Orr, Her-
4 bert L. Ridder, James A. Rock and C. Terry Titus ; also Town Manager
James W . Ritter , Jr. , Deputy Town Manager E . Wesley Devero and Town
Attorney George M. Martin .
The Minutes of the regular meeting of September 25 , 1974 were
approved as written .
Mr. Paul McDonald, an announced candidate for the Thirty-Third
Senatorial District of Virginia , addressed Council , presenting his
philosophies of government and seeking the support of Council -mem-
bers and others present in the coming Senatorial election. Mayor
Hill stated that this Council gives equal time to all political can-
didates , although it is not a political forum.
Town Manager Ritter was welcomed back from vacation by Mayor Hill .
Mr . Ritter commended Deputy Town Manager Devero for a very good job
while he was gone and felt that both he and the Town 'are fortunate to
have him. Mr. Ritter reported as follows :
(1) Yesterday , three staff members from HUD, along with Mrs .
Pendergast of Johnson and Williams , were here to investigate the im-
pact that the Potomac River Project might have on historical and cul-
tural properties , with interest being centered on Exeter and the down-
town historical district. After visiting Exeter, the site of the Po-
tomac water facility and the site of the Carr standpipe , they were
all unanimous in feeling that construction of the project would have
no adverse effect on the historic and cultural properties in and a-
round Leesburg .
(2) Investigations are proceeding on the drilling of a new well .
A proposal has been received from Sydnor Hydrodynamics and a letter of
recommended procedure from the State Geologist. Three sites have been
selected. One in Virginia Knolls , Section 3-A is being investigated.
It is possible that a site may be donated by the developers . A study
is also being made on other sources of water and a report will be made
on November 4th to the Public Works Committee .
(3) The Environmental Impact Study on the Potomac Water Project
has been completed by Johnson and Williams and was delivered yester-
day. It is a very comprehensive and voluminous study, consisting of
34 pages with attachments . It is here for those who might want to
read it. If there are no objections , he will sign it and send it on
to HUD.
(4) We have not yet received the break-down on the Potomac fa-
cility . The estimated cost in 1970 was $2 .4 million, with the present
day cost being $5 . 8 million . He has requested this information from
Johnson and Williams .
(5) At yesterday 's Chamber of Commerce meeting , the Chamber
voted to turn over to the Town the $5 ,000 grant from the Virginia
Historic Landmark Commission for the purpose of log cabin restoration .
(6) A new Police officer, Robert A. Bangle, reported for work on
September 16 - he fills the additional officer position provided for
in the Budget . Mr. Bangle is a former State Police officer and was
an M. P. for 32 years . He has had six months training in the State
Police School and lives in Middleburg . Also , David R. Simpson will
report for duty on the 16th of October - he replaces Officer Van Woody ,
;.r: who resigned to accept a position with the Town of Herndon at $2,000
more annually. This is a problem, not only in the Police Department ,
but in other areas of personnel as well. Officer Simpson has been a
police officer for the Town of Middleburg for 32 years and has gradu-
ated from Central Police School at Richmond.
( a
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 9 , 1974 MEETING .
(7) A letter has been received from VEPCO, ' stating that they
have erected "No Trespassing" signs on the old W. & 0 . D. right-of-
way. They have authorized us to stop and evict any person we find
unlawfully on their property .
(8) Curb, gutter and sidewalk has been completed, except that
portion in front of the Library, where work will start next Monday .
Town -Forces are now removing the old stone curb and resetting the
water meters . A fire hydrant will have to be moved back and replaced r
with a new one .
(9) A snag has been thrown into the Fisher-Bishop storm sewer
project . The Fisher easement expired about two weeks ago. The
Fishers have refused to sign an extension and now want a change in
alignment to move the pipe to the property line . This would mean
another survey and revised drawings by DND and would add another
15 feet of pipe to the line. An additional structure would have
to be provided and we would have to secure another easement from
Mrs . Spates , the adjoining property owner. This matter will be
discussed at the Public Works Committee meeting .
(10) A pre-construction conference was held yesterday with the
contractor on the Route 7 Urban Project. We have two more water lines
to be moved yet and Perry will start on these tomorrow, with comple-
tion to be the middle of next week . Hazel Construction Company, con-
tractors , plan to start work next week. They are definitely inter-
ested in the Fisher-Bishop job.
Councilman Ridder felt that the traffic problem at King and Mar-
ket Streets should be studied further by the Public Works Committee .
East-west traffic runs smoothly but there is a good deal of tie-up
on Route 7S because of left turns onto Route 15 . It was suggested
that the same situation on Loudoun Street be considered. Mr. Ridder
asked that the Police Department take part in the discussion on this
matter.
Councilman Titus said that one or two members of the County Board
of Supervisors will probably inquire as to how the Council feels a-
bout the rezoning of the Stowers tract known as "Coburn . " He felt
that the Comprehensive Plan states the Town ' s feeling , as well as
the fact that the Town has a serious water and sewer problem. Mayor
Hill said the Town is up to the top of the bracket now at the present
Plant and, if any more sewer capacity becomes available , it will go
to those inside the Town before it would be shared. He did not feel
that Council should be brought in on any decision concerning zoning
outside the Town - he felt this should be decided by the County .
Councilman Newman reported that she had been contacted by a
representative of an organization desiring to plant trees in the
median strip leading up Memorial Drive to the Hospital . On investi-
gation , it was found that the sewer line runs directly down the
center, so it is impossible to plant trees . Councilman Titus said
a similar request had been received and turned down in the Ayrlee
area because of utility lines . He suggested that perhaps a policy
should be set up on this and provide space for planting .
Mayor Hill reported that he had received a complaint concerning
the fact that the garage at the corner of Market and Liberty Streets
is parking used cars and cars under repair all along the block between
Market and Loudoun Streets . He asked the Town Manager to contact
these people and ask them to leave this area for those who are resi-
dents of the street or those who park for just a short time.
Mayor Hill read a letter from Police Chief Kidwell to the Police
Committee , said letter recommending that Corporal Hickman and Officer
Evans be commended for their outstanding performance in connection
with a recent breaking and entering case at Summit Hill Restaurant.
Mayor Hill said he felt the Police Force is deserving of all the
praise it can get , as well as everyone else working for the Town . He
then presented Certificates of Commendation to Corporal Douglas C.
Hickman and Officer Reginald B. Evans . for their action in this inci-
dent .

MINUTES OF OCTOBER 9, 1974 MEETING.
Chief of Police Kidwell then introduced the two new Police offi-
cers , Robert A. Bangle and David R. Simpson . These two men were wel-
comed to the Force by Mayor Hill .
Councilman Orr said that Colonel Valentine is out of town and
could not be present to address Council tonight on their request for
a waiver of business license to operate a snack bar at the Hospital.
This request was , therefore, deferred until the next meeting .
On motion of Councilman Kidder, seconded by Councilman Bange,
the following resolution was proposed:
WHEREAS, the sanitary sewer line located on the James Hut-
chison property on Morven Park Road was sealed by Southern
Line Cleaning as part of the Town of Leesburg 's infiltration
program, and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the Town Council that the above-
mentioned sewer line should be replaced as defects in the pipe
still remain which were unsealable,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Manager is here-
by directed to advertise for bids for the replacement of the
existing sewer line on the Hutchison property , pursuant to
specifications set forth by the Director of Public Works , and
that such bids shall be submitted to the Town Council for
its action .
A roll call vote , which defeated the resolution, is shown below:
Aye : Councilmen Bange , Orr and Ridder.
Nay : Councilmen Newman, Rock and Titus .
Abstention : Mayor Hill .
On motion of Councilman Ridder, seconded by Councilman Bange, the
following resolution was proposed:
WHEREAS, a request has been received from the Lesluke Cor-
poration to obtain the amount of $4 ,275 .00 of off-site storm
sewer charges collected by the Town to be used for improve-
ments on lands owned by the Lesluke Corporation,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council , that the
Town Manager is hereby directed to release $4 ,275 .00 to the
Lesluke Corporation upon receipt and approval by the Town
Council of a bond in an equal amount that is conditioned upon
the physical construction of storm sewers for which the off-
site monies were collected .
Mr. Brownell, representing Lesluke Corporation, asked if Mrs . Carr
would be allowed to post her own surety . After some discussion, it
was pointed out that the Town 's policy is to accept a surety bond ,
an escrow account or a cashier 's check in the amount of 150 per cent
of the project cost . Discussion continued at length concerning a
release of any funds at this time . Town Manager Ritter pointed out
that a good deal of money has been collected from developers on the
south side of Edwards Ferry Road that is due Mrs . Carr, however, no
policy has ever been set as to the time for such payment , for example,
should it be paid on presentation of a bill for engineering or wait
until such time as the actual physical improvements have taken place .
An amendment to add at the end of the above resolution was presented
by Councilman Ridder, as follows : "on the condition that if construc-
tion is not completed within five years , the money shall be returned
or the bond shall be forfeited. " However, there was no second to
this amendment. Town Attorney Martin recommended that the type of
bond be determined. On motion of Councilman Rock, seconded by Coun-
cilman Newman , Council voted 5 to 2 , as shown below, to return this
matter to the Public Works Committee for clarification :
Aye : Councilmen Newman , Orr, Rock, Titus and Mayor Hill .
Nay : Councilmen Bange and Ridder.

the following resolution was proposed:
WHEREAS, the Crestwood Construction Corporation has requested
that the surety bond covering physical improvements in Crest-
wood Hamlet , Section 3-A , be extended to November 21, 1975 ,
and
WHEREAS, the Town Council is in receipt of a letter from the
Broyhill Insurance Agency , Inc . , indicating that the said
bond has been extended to that date,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED , that the Town Council hereby
agrees to the extension of the said surety bond to November
21 , 1975 .
It was pointed out by Mr . Forbes that the extension of the bond is
worth nothing unless the agreement (PC-2) to construct the physical
improvements within one year has been extended also . Councilman
Titus moved to amend the resolution by adding at the end the follow-
ing :
"conditioned upon the receipt of an amended PC-2 for improve-
ments noted above . "

mittee .

ning Commission would be with respect to valid preliminary plats on
those projects rejected on the Priority List. Councilman Titus said

Nay : None .
On motion of Councilman Titus , seconded by Councilman Rock, the
following resolution was proposed :
WHEREAS, the Town of Leesburg is experiencing moulting costs
and delay in the construction of the proposed water filtra-
tion plant on the Potomac River and attendant appurtenances ,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Council of the
Town of Leesburg hereby directs the Town Manager to (1) im-
mediately contact the Virginia State Water Control Board and

11 sites should be included as a possible source of water, the resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted, as shown :
Aye : Councilmen Bange , Newman , Ridder, Rock, Titus and Mayor
Hill
Nay : None.
On motion of Councilman Titus , seconded by Councilman Rock, the
following resolution was proposed :
WHEREAS , the Town of Leesburg fully supported the adopted
plan for sanitary sewage treatment for Study Area 1 of the
Northern Virginia Planning District Commission , which con-
tained recommendations for a permanent sewage treatment
plant at Leesburg , an interim sewage treatment plant at
Herndon and fulfillment of contractual agreements with the
District of Columbia for sewage capacity in the Blue Plains
Treatment Plant for both Loudoun and Fairfax Counties , and
WHEREAS , the State Water Control Board, based on a study by
its consultants , subsequently adopted a Water Quality Manage-
ment Program for Study Area 1 , which called for a single sew-
age treatment plant on the lands of the Dulles Airport to
serve all parties concerned and "back-up" sewage capacity in
Blue Plains , and
aWHEREAS ; the SWCB , subsequent to the adoption of the said
Water Quality Management Program, has called a Public Hearing
on a policy designed to implement the said program, said
policy calling for a "modest" interim expansion of the pres -
ent Leesburg Sewage Treatment Plant , ultimate abandonment of
that Plant , Leesburg ' s use of the single sewage treatment
plant at Dulles Airport at the time of said abandonment,
Leesburg to get its treatment plant to operate within its
certificate limits and for Leesburg to have an active pro-
gram to eliminate infiltration,
82
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 9, 1974 MEETING.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the
Town of Leesburg that (1) the Town remains fully committed
to the adopted plan for sewage treatment for Study Area 1
of the NVPDC and does not support either the SWCB ' s Water
Quality Management Program or its proposed implementation
policy ; (2) the Town feels it is , at present , operating its
sewage treatment plant within its certificate limits ; (3)
the Town will continue its infiltration abatement and re-
construction program which has been on-going for about two
years ; (4) the Town will be put under severe financial hard-
ship if it ultimately has to abandon its sewage treatment
plant, which would result in a loss in revenues to pay out-
standing debt of over $1,000,000 on the said plant ; and (5) the
Town feels that , at the time of approval of its present plant,
strong indication was given to the Town by the SWCB that ex-
pansion could take place and the Town did, in fact, construct cer-
til
portions of the plant that make it readily expandable , and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor is hereby requested to
present to the officials of NVPDC, Loudoun and Fairfax Coun-
ties and the Town of Herndon the Town of Leesburg ' s original
position regarding the SWCB ' s Water Quality Management Pro-
gram (as stated at the attendant SWCB Public Hearing) and
supplement it with the above ideas of the Town, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor also convey to the
said officials the desire of the Town of Leesburg to join
any effort to again fully support the recommendations of the
NVPDC, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that , upon completion of the presen-
tation to the abovementioned officials , a resolution incor-
porating the ideas contained herein and any other pertinent
ideas be presented to the Council at its next meeting for a-
doption and formal presentation at the SWCB hearing of Oc-
tober 29, 1974 .

Councilman Titus said he and Mayor Hill met with the people named a-
bove and discussed the possibility of the three jurisdictions joining
in a presentation to the Water Control Board. He felt that Loudoun
County , Fairfax County and the Town of Leesburg all disagree with the
Water Control Board 's program and they have had strong indication that
EPA will not approve this program until some recommendation of local
government has been made concrete . This group of people feel they
should "stand up and be heard" and now is the time to do it . Mayor
Hill referred to the term of the Virginia Municipal League conven-
tion "Localism" or "stand up and be heard, " to which this resolution
speaks . He fully supports the NVPDC resolution and will fight for
it . He felt that we should indicate that the Town of Leesburg will
respond at the October 29th Public Hearing. The resolution was then
unanimously adopted, as shown :
Aye : Councilmen Bange , Newman , Kidder, Rock , Titus and Mayor
Hill.
Nay : None.
Mr. Thomas W. Malls , attorney, and Mr . William D. Chamberlin,
engineer, both representing Manna Partnership #1 , requested that
Council consider their problem concerning a sewer allocation at this
time . It was understood that subject partnership had been allotted
capacity for six lots in Waverly Heights Subdivision at the time the
original Policy Statement of March 28 , 1973 was adopted . This prop-
erty had been rezoned to Commercial sometime before that , and their
question is :Can the capacity for these six lots be transferred to be
used as one tap on the large tract of land? They have met with the

Public Works Committee several times on this matter, but no deter-
mination has ever been made . They were delayed in any construction ti
on this property due to waiting for a . reply from the Town 's attorney . •
in Fairfax . Mr. Nails stated that the "Acknowledgment" form required ' •
. for the present Priority List had been submitted in order to insure
their being on the forthcoming list should the original allotment not
be transferrable . A portion of this form had been deleted by Mr. Nails
and it was felt by some members of Council that this would negate
Manna Partnership being placed on the Priority List - at all . Council
discussed the matter at great length, with no decision being reached
and with several questions to be answered. Mayor Hill referred the
matter to the . Public Works Committee for recommendation to the Council
at the next meeting .
On motion of Councilman Ridder, seconded by Councilman Rock, the
meeting was adjourned at 11 :40 P.M.
