lution was then unanimously adopted, as shown:
Aye: Councilmen Bange, Newman, Orr, Ridder, Titus and Mayor Hill.
Nay: None.
On motion of Councilman Titus, seconded by Councilman Ridder, the
following resolution was proposed:
WHEREAS, the Town Attorney reported to the Public Works Com-
mittee that the uncertain status of areas on plats of townhouse
"subdivisions where common parking and recreational areas are
described should be cured by requiring appropriate language
either in the Deed of Dedication or on the plat, indicating
that all of the lots have a common and joint eastment in such
areas ; and
WHEREAS, the Town Attorney advised that the Town loses control
of such areas by permitting the areas to be conveyed by the sub-
division owner at a later date to the Homeowners Association, and
that the Town has no mechanism to monitor that such conveyance
is or will ultimately be made,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission be
and it is hereby requested to consider amendments to the Subdi-
vision and Zoning Ordinances to provide for appropriate easements
running with the lots on plats of subdivisions involving townhouses
for the common use of the parking areas and other designated areas
by all of the lots in said subdivisions .
Town Attorney Martin cited a recent case involving Huntland Homes. The
Judge stated that, had there been an indication on the plat that all lots
had an easement to use these areas for parking, there might not have been
a problem. Mr. Martin said the Town has no cont-i-ol- as -to whether or not
these lots are ever conveyed to a Homeowners Association and he felt that
appropriate language should be on the plat, stating that all lots have a
right to use the adjoining and parking- areas. This would be true of recre-
ation areas as well . The resolution was then unanimously adopted, as shown,
Aye: •Councilmen Bange, Newman, Orr, Ridder, Titus and Mayor Hill.
Nay: None.
Councilman Titus said he understands that handicapped entrances have
to be provided where curb, gutter -and sidewalk are -installed and he feels
the Town' s Construction Standards should be amended to reflect this provi-
sion. He asked that this be placed on the Public Works Agenda.

lowing resolution was proposed:

Legislature adopted, in the 1975 Session,:, Section 15.1503. 2 of

cent decision of the Supreme Court, careful consideration of this
Code provision should be given to determine the legal status of
the Old and Historic District- section of the Town Zoning Ordinance,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission be and
it is hereby instructed to consider the implication of said Code
provision and report to the Council. .
Town Attorney Martin felt that perhaps the Town of Leesburg has notl-legal
ly established its Old and Historic District and its Board of Architectural,
Review and that the Planning Commission should study this very quickly.
Councilman Newman called attention to an article in the VML magazine con-
cerning this legislation.: Mr. Forbes said that some of the buildings in
the Old and -Historic- District have already been designated by the Historic
Landmarks Commission. He, therefore, felt that this would be no problem.
Mr: Martin felt that perhaps this should be re-adopted. On motion of
Councilman Titus, seconded by Councilman- Ridder, the following amendment
