The meeting of February 2, 1977 of the Leesburg Town Council was ' reconvened in the Council Chambers, 10 West Loudoun Street, Leesburg, Virginia at 7 : 34 P.M. on February 9, 1977 at the call of the Mayor. Present were: Mayor Mary Anne Newman, Councilmembers Charles E. Bange, Glen P. Cole, Stanley D. Herrell , Jr. , C. Terry Titus and John W. Tolbert, Jr. ; also Town Manager John Niccolls , Assistant to the Manager Jeffrey H. Minor and Town Attorney George M. Martin. The invocation was given by Mr. Herrell and followed with the Salute to the Flag. Absent was Councilmember James A. Rock. The minutes of the regular meeting of December 22, 1977 and pub- lic hearing. on Charter Amendments were: approved as written. Public Hearing on Amendment to Sec. 10-83of the Town Code re one- way streets. Mayor Newman opened a Public Hearing on the proposed amendment to Sec. 10-83 of the Town Code re one-way streets. The Notice of said hearing was read by the Clerk. Judge Archibald Aiken, a resident at Church and Cornwall Streets, was in tavor of making Church Street one-way southbound between Mar- ket and North Streets (rather than northbound as proposed) - he felt ^, that the residents in this area were due some sort of "parole" from the traffic northbound resulting from construction and other opera- tions of the County; also, the Sheriff' s Office personnel could S reach Route 7 -much faster if Church Street were one-way southbound. Miss Nancy Bradfield, a resident of Cornwall Street, felt that perhaps Judge Aiken' s suggestion to make Church Street one-way south- bound is a good one - she has frequently almost collided with Sher- iff' s Department vehicles. Mr. Bange felt that, if Church Street were made one-way south- bound, it would become a very dangerous intersection requiring a traffic light and this would have to be cleared with the Highway Department. Mayor Newman felt that a light at this intersection, along with the one at Routes 7 and 15, would impede the flow of traffic through town. Mr. Edgar Carter, also a resident of Cornwall Street, felt that the Sheriff' s Department is the major user of Church Street and that it would be better to make Church Street one-way southbound. Mr. Bange felt the Sheriff' s Department should adhere to the streets as set up, regardless of their direction. Mayor Newman declared the public hearing closed. 77-0-1 - Ordinance - Amending Sec. 10-83 of the Town Code. re one- way streets. On motion of Mr. Bange, seconded by Mr. Herrell, the following ordinance was proposed: ' BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the Town. of Leesburg, Vir- ginia, as follows : SECTION I. .

(b) The manager is authorized and directed to pro- vide such signs on the one-way streets designated in sub- section (a) as will apprise an ordinarily observant person of such one-way streets. SECTION II, That this ordinance shall be in full brce and effect from its passage. • On motion of Mr. Titus, seconded by Mr. Tolbert, the following amend- ment was proposed: • Sec. (a) (1 ) to read as follows : Church Street, between Market Street and the north property line of Archie Newton, for southbound traffic. with the request that this be changed to a distance from Market Street when it has been measured. • After some little discussion, the amendment was unanimously adopted: Aye: Councilmembers Bange, Cole, Herrell, Titus, Tolbert and Mayor Newman. Nay: None. The ordinande, as amended, was then unanimously adopted: Aye: Councilmembers Bange, Cole, Herrell , Titus, Tolbert and Mayor Newman. • Nay: None. • Discussion concerning parking on one side only on Cornwall Street. Mayor Newman asked for comments concerning removal of parking on Cornwall Street from the north side, this having been a recom- mendation from the Fire Chief. She said Council has discussed this and feels they should proceed with this recommendation, however, she felt that residents of Cornwall Street should express their views at this time. The letter of request from Fire Chief John W. Fiske was read by Town Manager John Niccolls, this letter explaining that re- sponse time, access, water supply and other factors are a problem with parking on both sides of the street. ' Mr. Edgar Carter said there is not enough space for all resi- dents to park in this block now. When he learned that itis the Fire Department that is requesting this , he did some measuring - the street is 24 feet wide, the normal car is 6 feet wide, one car was set out 6 to 8 inches from the curb due to ice, and there were still 11 feet between the cars. The fire engines are 8 feet wide and the trash truck the same. There are no fire hydrants within this block. He, therefore, could not • see that there is a problem. Miss Nancy Bradfield said the engines had no trouble getting down this street when a house in the next block down was on fire - she was against parking on one side only unless it could be proven that the fire trucks cannot get down that street. She noted that the south side of the street is the hardest on which to park and the ice stays on that side longer. Judge Aiken said there is No Parking in the area of the fire hydrant on the corner where he lives, so there should certainly be no problem of access to this hydrant. He also said there is a I67 MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 9, 1977 MEETING. problem with speeding over week-ends when there are not all the com- muters parked in this block of Cornwall Street and this would be an even bigger problem if there is parking on one side only. Miss Bradfield also spoke for Mr. Sam Engle, who could not be present for this meeting. He has two small c'lirdren and felt that parking on the north side of the street would be a hazard to them. Mr. J. B. Anderson of the Fire Department saidtheir aim is response and effectiveness in fire fighting, which is dependent on how quickly then can get there. He, explained that it takes an extra six feet to get the, equipment spread out from the ladder truck, as well as other tactics involved with this truck and the pumpers. This is the reason for their request. He cited as an example the methods used to fight the fire in the Dr. Gable property on Cornwall Street between Slack Lane and Ch h Street last summer. He also explained that the town is replacingY!ire hydrants with ones that will give more pressure one by one. Mr. 0. R. Dube, Loudoun County Fire Marshal , said he basically supports the Fire Department, however, he asked if any specific sur- vey has been made as to where the residents can park. Mr. Titus asked if those parking there are residents or those working in the Zr: downtown area. Mr. Carter said it is pretty well divided. Mrs. r, Carter said there is a problem with unloading groceries because someone is waiting for a parking space when you leave. Ms. Nellie Thornberry also complained about the distance to carry groceries - she suggested that the commuters park in the parking lot. Numerous ways of restricting parking for residents were dis- cussed. Mayor Newman said it was not Council ' s intention to make any decision tonight and thanked the residents of Cornwall Street for coming. This matter will be discussed at a workshop meeting. It was felt, however, that the Police Department should be instructed to enforce speedingiEgulations on both Cornwall and North Streets. On motion of Mr. Titus, seconded by Mr. Bange, Council voted unanimously to go into executive session to discuss legal matters and land acquisition with Attorney James H. Chamblin at 8 : 23 P.M.

Mayor Newman reported that, on reading the Water Control Board brochure, it is noted that Leesburg was again in violation of its sewer permit in September - this means we were in violation for four.. months. She asked why? Mr. Niccolls explained that the old testing procedures for a trickling filter plant were revealing BOD counts in excess of permit requirements. This testing procedure has now been changed so that samples are taken from the chlorine tank. The January report was signed today and is well within the permit limits. In addition, an application has been submitted, at the re- quest of the Water Control Board, to raise the BOD limits for the plant - they are uncertain why the lower limits were imposed 'on our plant. Our change in method of testing has been done with the Board' s permission. The inspectors and officials reviewing the records from the plant are highly pleased with its operation, re- gardless of the BOD excesses which occurred last summer. Mayor Newman felt that this is the kind of information that should be fur- nished the Council since the Council is responsible for the opera- tion of the treatment plant. -reported - - - Mr. Herrell asked that, with regard to the/violation of the Zoning Ordinance by the Colonial Beauty Salon, Council be consulted before any legal action is taken - he felt that this is not the only violation of this kind - it is a broader issue than this. 77-23 - Resolution - Granting a waiver of site plan requirements.
