MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL , DECEMBER 11, 1974.
A regular meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in the
Council Chambers, 10 West Loudoun Street, Leesburg, Virginia, on De-
cember 11 , 1974 at 7 :30 P.M. The meeting was called to order by the
Mayor, with Delegate Kenneth B. Rollins offering the prayer, followed
by the Salute to the Flag. Present were: Mayor G. Dewey. Hill, Coun-
cilmen Charles E. Bange, Mary Anne Newman, Robert A. Orr, Herbert 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 November 27 , 1974 were ap-
proved
as written.
Town Manager Ritter reported as follows : - •
(1) He received a call from Mr. Broyhill ' s office yesterday, ad-
vising that they have been in communication with HUD and that they
should have some favorable news in the next few days. Also, Mr. .An-
drews of Daniel A. Robinson & Associates called today and had also
talked with HUD - he had the same message. This has to go through
the appropriate Congressional procedure,- so we will probably hear
first from Senator Broyhill 's office. -
(2) We do not yet know whether or not we can use the full Grant
of $957 ,000 for the smaller Potomac project we are working on, however,
we do know we can use part of it.
(3) We have received construction plans on the reduced Potomac
project, showing the Carr standpipe and the water line leading from
it into Town.. This will be connected at the existing water line
at the corner of Harrison and North Streets. Estimated cost figures
from Johnson and Williams were to have been here today, but we have
not yet received them. Mr. Burt is working with Johnson and Wil-
liams, trying to get everything in order so that we can proceed with
advertisement of bids.
(4) There is nothing new to report on the wells, other than the
fact that the five owners on the other side of Tuscarora Creek want
the Town to build a street from Virginia Knolls (Shenandoah Street
Extended) to a location at right angles to the wells. This street
would be built to Town specifications and would contain curb, gutter
and sidewalk, as well as water and sewer lines. We are talking about
a lot of money here. Apparently this is the dealing point with these
people. He told them to put their request in a letter, but it has
not yet been received. We will probably have to forget this location.
We are working on another location though.
Councilman Titus said that several years ago, a complaint was made
to the FAA and others about planes flying directly over Leesburg, with
nothing accomplished. After the plane crash on Mt. Weather last week,
it is pretty obvious as to what could happen here. He said he in-
tended to voice his opinion to Mr. Fisher when he takes office, and
he feels it is very,necessary that Council take some action, or at
least express its opinion, with the hope that this situation will
stop.
Councilman Titus reported that he had received a complaint from
a citizen on Cornwall Street, who could not park near his house since
the 'One Hour Parking" signs have been erected between Liberty and
Wirt Streets. He wondered if some change could not bemade in this
arrangement to allow residents of this block to park here. After
some discussion on this matter between Mr. Titus and Mr . Bange,
Mayor Hill referred this to the Public Works Committee for study.

MINUTES OF DECEMBER 11, 1974 MEETING .
Councilman Rock- ?Berted that he had received a complaint con-
cerning a storm sewer/in the road on E. South Street, and where a
resident had stepped in it. He asked that this be covered or some-
thing done -to correct this problem. Mr. Chaves said this is a storm
sewer problem - it has been studied and a plan worked out for it, it
is a- matter -of getting to it.
Councilman Rock presented proposed Charter amendments for the
Council 's perusal and explained them.in detail . There was discus-
" ., : :sion on the proposed amendments, with Town Attorney Martin suggesting
that there be a provision added at the end of Section 6-1 as follows :
"The Commissioner of Revenue may utilize the assessment of real es-
tate and personal property as found in the land and personal property
books in the Commissioner of Revenue's Office of the County of Loud-
oun as a basis for assessment of the land and personal property with-
in the Town of Leesburg until otherwise changed by the Council. "
Delegate Rollins felt that this should be done so that the assess-
ments by the Town can never be attacked. Also suggested was a
phrase to be added at the end of Section 7-2, as follows : "and
whose duties shall be as prescribed in the Zoning Ordinance of the
Town. " Council discussed Section 3-2 as it pertains to compensa-
tion for the Mayor and members of Council. Also discussed at length
were the powers of the Mayor, with particular attention to the pros
and cons of a veto power for the Mayor. It was felt that no change
should -be made concerning this until such time as an opinion is re-
ceived from the Attorney General . It was suggested that Council
members be given some time to peruse the proposed Charter amend-
ments and discuss them further later in the meeting .
Councilman Ridder asked what progress has been made on the ex-
haust fans to be installed in the Council Chambers. Mr. Ritter said
he has contacted C. J. Payne on this, but has heard nothing further
;'
from him.
Councilman Ridder called attention to the dangerous condition
of the sidewalk on East Market Street (south side) between Church
Street and the Drug Fair Parking Lot . This matter was discussed
and Town Manager Ritter said it will be on thePublicWorks Com-
mittee Agenda next week.
Delegate Kenneth B. Rollins addressed Council concerning the
application of Manor Care, Inc. for rezoning of property on Morven
Park Road between Morven Park Road and the Hospital for a nursing
home. The Planning Commission has turned down this application af-
ter Public Hearing for what he believed are two reasons, namely:
(1) they wanted to be sure a nursing home would be built on this
tract of land if it was rezoned and (2) lack of proper access to
this property. He said the Comprehensive Plan recommends that this
area be rezoned into a new medically oriented zone and he under-
stands this will be considered in the very near future, probably
by the Planning Commission in February and by the Council in March.
Therefore, he requested that this application be held in abeyance
by the Council until a decision has been made on this new zone.
Councilman Titus, member of the Planning Commission, personally
agreed with Delegate Rollins concerning Morven Park Road and added
that the sewer situation also added to the Planning Commission' s de-
cision to turn down this application. He had no objection to Mr.
Rollins ' request . Mayor Hill ruled that this will be held in abey-
ance until such time as it is brought before Council as a regular
Agenda item.
Mayor Hill said he has been approached by Mr. Raflo concerning
a possiblecmeeting between the Council , the Planning Commission and
the Board of Architectural Review with the Board' s architect to dis-
cuss the new County building. He felt such a meeting would be in

order. Mr. Forbes stated that he, as a member of the Board of Archi-
tectural Review, had reservations on meeting prior to the County hav-
ing made application. Mayor Hill said they would be meeting at the
County 's request and this would not be a formal meeting, but an -in-
formative one. After some little discussion, it was decided that
such a meeting will be held on December 17th at 7 :30 P.M. in the
Council Chambers, with Town Manager Ritter to invite the members of
the Planning Commission and the Board of Architectural Review indi-
vidually.
Mayor Hill reported that Mr. Ritter, Mr. Chaves and he met with
the School Board at the Council ' s direction. After lengthy discus-
sion presented by both sides as to how the project has grown out of
financial means, they appointed a committee of Mr . Butt , Mr. Mackey
and Mr. Vorous to med with some members of the Town and try to resolve
some of the knotty issues. Mr. Ritter commented on the School Board's
position that the Town does not pay County taxes. He said the Board,
at one time in the discussion, offered to donate the easement, but
suggested that the Town talk to the Board of Supervisors about any
money needed for this project. He could not understand their whole
position. This project has grown from $20,000 in September to ap-
proximately $88,000 now. He said Mr. Mackey is aware of the urgency
of this project, as well as the physical problems involved, and will
try to meet with the Town as quickly as possible. Mr . Ritter sug-
gested that this meeting be with the Public Works Committee.
Councilman Titus suggested that the Public Works Committee meet
only on December 16th since it is planned to have only one Council
meeting this month.
On motion of Councilman Newman, seconded by Councilman Ridder,
Council voted unanimously that the second regular meeting of Council IIbe suspended for the month of December 1974.
On motion of Councilman Ridder, seconded by Councilman Bange, the
following resolution was proposed:
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town of Leesburg hereby accepts the

property on Route 7 .
Town Manager Ritter advised that the Public Works Committee discussed
this plat and felt it does not meet the necessary requirements - there
are no bearings or distances shown thereon. There followed lengthy
discussionconcerning this problem. On motion of Councilman Ridder,
seconded by Councilman Orr, the following amendment was proposed and
adopted, as shown:

with Mr. Shull of Fairfax on this and it is now up to Council to get
together with Fairfax. He pointed out that there have been changes
