LOUDOUN STREET AND S. CHURCH STREET PROPERTIES, MAY 23 , 1979 . A regular meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in the Council Chambers, 10 West Loudoun Street, Leesburg, Virginia, on May 23, 1979 at 7 : 30 P.M. The meeting was called to order by the Mayor, with the invocation being given by Mr. Tolbert, and fol- lowed with the Salute to the Flag led by Mrs . Hill . Present were: Mayor Kenneth B. Rollins, Councilmembers Glen P. Cole, Stanley D. Herrell, Jr. , G. Dewey Hill, Jr. , Marylou Hill, Walter F. Murray and John W. Tolbert, Jr. ; also Town Manager John Niccolls , Assis- tant Manager Jeffrey H. Minor, Director of Finance Donald O. Taylor and Town Attorney George M. Martin. The minutes of the regular meeting of May 9 , 1979 were approved as written. PUBLIC HEARING ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SINGLE PURPOSE GRANT APPLI- CATION FOR FAIRVIEW SUBDIVISION STORM DRAINAGE. Mayor Rollins invited speakers on the storm drainage project in Fairview Subdivision, for which the Town will be making final 0 application for the $81, 000 grant. He stated that a second hear- Ch ing on this matter will be held on Tuesday, May 29th at 7 : 30 P .M. There being no-one to speak on this matter, Mayor Rollins closed the hearing. He noted that, at the second hearing, a committee of Q five members from the Fairview Subdivision will be appointed to serve as liaison in the planning, development and administration of this project. PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED SUBDIVISION AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGU- LATIONS . There was no-one to speak on the Proposed Subdivision and Land Development Regulations. Mayor Rollins, therefore, concluded the hearing. Mrs. Hill said these changes place subdivisions in one section and site plans in another for clarification. Mayor Rollins asked that formal action on this Ordinance be placed on the Agenda for the next Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED REZONING OF E . LOUDOUN AND S . CHURCH STREET PROPERTIES. Mayor Rollins said it is proposed to rezone these properties of Charles E. and Georgianna Newton and Joseph A. and Lois W. Francis from "M-1" to "B-2" zoning. There was no-one to speak concerning these rezonings and the hearing was concluded by the Mayor. He asked that action on this matter be placed on the Agenda for the next Council meeting. Mrs. Margie Harrison was recognized by Mayor Rollins. She re- quested that Council consider doing the whole Fairview Subdivision project at one time - the grant has been approved for the storm drainage, so why not spend tax dollars to do the sidewalks, curb and gutter now. Mr. Minor advised that the $81 , 100 is for construc- tion costs only - the engineering and other costs will be paid from tax dollars . Mrs. Harrison said this will certainly be a help, but it would be appreciated if the rest of the work could be done at the same time . PETITIONERS: 111 Ms. Linda Olinger, owner and operator of Linda ' s Boutique at the corner of Market and Wirt Streets, expressed concern over the proposed removal of 10-hour parking meters on the Municipal Parking Lot and replacement with 3-hour meters . There are a good many paople who need these 10-hour meters, however, a lot of them are not aware of this proposed action. Doctors, dentists and those who are in Court all day need these spaces . She objected to the 14 Town employee park- ing spaces and felt these people, who are not paying to park, could walk up from the new parking lot. Town Police also occupy a lot of spaces. She also felt that walking from the new parking lot with a bag of money is too far for a female. Mr. Herrell said the Town parking lot is for the convenience of the people downtown. The 35.5 MINUTES OF MAY 23, 1979 MEETING. Downtown Business Association asked the Town to buy another lot for all day parking so that this lot could be used for shoppers, etc . A lot of money has been spent on this lot and so far about 45 all- day parking permits have been sold. He was not in favor of 10-hour parking - he didn 't believe it could take anybody 10 hours to shop or take care of business in Leesburg. The Town does not have an obligation to provide parking for private businesses - the parking lot is to make money. He was not in favor of all the Town employees parking in this lot - only those who have to come and go all day - and he felt Council should address this situation shortly. Ms . Olinger said the Town waits until it is too late before they do something about such situations. What will the people do 10 years from now? It is hard to keep a business downtown now. She was in favor of a parking garage, even though it would cost a lot of money. Mr. Herrell said the obligation of the Town is to see that these parking lots are making money. Ms . Olinger felt her money is as good as anyone else ' s, she ' s putting money in the meters every day. Mr. Herrell also felt it is up to the County to provide parking for their employees. Mr. Murray had some very serious reservations about removing all the 10-hour meters . Mr. Frank Watkins, of 57 South King Street, asked if anything else is being done about the needed storm drainage in that area? He understood that Fairview will be getting theirs, but that this would ►I: " increase their problems on King Street. Mr. Niccolls said engineers d' are currently preparing plans on the right of way - this will im- `V prove their problems. These should be before the Council in the next 30 days . The Town has to enter into agreements with VEPCO and the Park Authority in order to do this work. There are funds in the 1980 Budget to start construction 10 to 12 months from now on the channel itself. The project should be completed in 1980 . . Mayor Rollins said the Fairview work will not be completed before this work is done, in fact, they hope it will be completed simultaneously. Mrs . Lois Armstrong, a resident of Cornwall Street, read to Council a letter signed by some 27 residents of the Old and His- toric area, requesting the issuance of permits for residential parking in this area. Most of the houses in this area have no driveways and the residents must depend on parking on the streets . When these spaces are empty, they are taken by workers in the ad- jacent areas and who park there all day, thus leaving no place for the residents to park when they return from errands, etc. It was felt that now is a good time to give this permit parking a trial while the Town is making permit parking for workers in the area available in the new Vinegar Hill Parking Lot . There were some 10 to 20 residents of this area in attendance. Mr. Stanley Caulkins , a representative of the Downtown Business Association, said the DBA is a liaison between the business community and the Town Council to help in solving, problems. The DBA has been working with Mrs. Hill, who is a member of that organization , as well as a Council member, to try to reach a workable solution to the parking problem. The proposed recommendation is the general feel- ing of those who regularly attend the DBA meetings . He felt it will soon be time to start making arrangements to convert the rest of the old Bryant property into additional parking. You cannot stymie or expect a business community to grow without providing some place for the cars - we must continue the search for additional parking. He invited Ms. Olinger and others to join the DBA. Mr. Murray asked if the business community has ever discussed the idea of coming up with some additional capital to provide additional parking? Mr. Caulkins said they have had representatives from Winchester come to a meeting and discuss their mall and parking garage - they have discussed the double-decking of either this lot or the Vinegar Hill lot and the possibility of private enterprise building a garage and running it, but this would take the revenues from the town. A garage would be at least $5, 000 , 000 and obviously the business community could not do this alone. The DBA did demonstrate good faith by putting up the escrow down payment for the Vinegar Hill lot . There is no other open space other than the Firemen ' s-Field or the school yard lot . Mr. Murray felt that, if there is no open space, what will generate additional parking in the downtown area? He felt they should be talking about some alternatives. Those people who have • r Affiki MINUTES OF MAY 23 , 1979 MEETING . 356 businesses in the outlying shopping areas provide parking at a pre- mium price - their tax bills are based on this . When it snows, they clean it themselves. They generate the same sales tax as those down- town. Those downtown don ' t want to put up any money - they want the Town to build or develop parking space. When the Vinegar Hill lot is sold out, then that money should be spent to increase parking. He said he would be the last to vote for the taxpayers to put up more money until that lot has proven itself. He was not convinced that any appreciable amount of extra parking will be needed in 10 years. Mr. Herrell felt Mr. Murray is wrong - if we don 't need more parking, then why are we building a $5, 000 , 000 water plant? Mr. Caulkins said the most heard complaint is about parking in down- town Leesburg. Mr. Murray felt they should create a Parking Authority. Mr. Caulkins again emphasized that the DBA wants the Town to know they are working with the Council . Three residents of Wildman Street, Mrs . Theodore Leland, Mr. James Petrucelli and Mr. Jerry Tierney, requested the status of a reply to a letter from the residents of Wildman Street concerning increased traffic because of the Little League softball field on the Paxton Home property. Mayor Rollins said this is the first meeting of Council since the letter was received. He advised O them that the Board of Supervisors would have no control over this cn matter, Wildman is a town-owned street. Mr. Niccolls advised that O the gate is owned by the Town - it was probably put in many years ago for access to the town ' s well . However, we do not control that gate - C the owner of the land is Paxton Home. Mr. Petrucelli said Paxton does not want the Little League to use their access off of Route 15, in fact, one of the conditions of allowing use of the softball field was that the gate off of Wildman Street be used. Mr. Herrell said this is not really a dead-end street because Paxton owns the land at the end of it. They may some day liquidate some of this land - someone could build on it and the street would be extended. If there is a speed problem, then the Police should take care of this - perhaps speed limit signs should be erected. This is a public street and anyone can use it. Mr. Tierney complained that none of the resi- dents were contacted about the ball field. Mrs. Leland said there is a "Dead End" sign at Wildman and North and that is one reason why a lot of people bought on this street. Mr. Tolbert noted that their letter said the Paxton Home Board had denied their request to meet with them. Mrs . Tierney said she has talked with Rev. Buchanan, Mr. Rogers Fred and Mr. Huntington Harris and they feel the problem is with the Town, not with the Home. The Little League feels that if they go to the Paxton Home, they will close down the field. Mr. Murray felt there should be a meeting with a representative from Wildman Street, one from the Little League and someone from the Town with Mr. Buchanan regarding this problem. Perhaps Paxton would let them come in through their entrance from Route 15 and they could exit from Wildman Street. Mayor Rollins felt the Town could close the street off and stop it, but what is a second alternative? Mr. Tierney said they do not want to do this - one of their concerns is that they were not consulted concerning this access to the field. Mr. Niccolls said the Town was advised that it would be opened up and a representative of the Little League called and said Paxton Home was allowing this. The Town ' s agreement with Paxton Home requires the Town to keep the gate closed when we are using the well . The original agreement allowed us to use the Route 15 entrance until Wildman Street was opened. Wehave no authority or control over the access - we are a tenant of Paxton Home just as the Little League is . Paxton owns the driveway and other property abutting the street. They are like any other property owner and he didn' t see how we can tell them how I to use their property. Mrs. Tierney said none of them want to deny the children the use of the field. Mr. Hill felt there should be some pressure on the Little League people themselves - they have created the problem. Mrs. Tierney had talked with them and they were advised that they would be coming before Council tonight. Mrs. Hill suggested a 15 mph sign. Mr. Niccolls said 25 is not an unsafe speed. The most effective way to slow them down is to post an officer there from time to time. Mayor Rollins asked that Mr. Niccolls contact Mr. Huntington Harris and invite him to the next Public Works committee meeting. Perhaps we can impose upon him to get access from Route 15. If not, someone else from the Paxton Home. He suggested perhaps a member of their group from Wildman Street. He also asked that the Police patrol this street as frequently as possible. XF { XXX MINUTES OF MAY 23, 1979 MEETING. 357 Mrs. Armstrong asked if any consideration or thought has been given to a paid parking ticket at a nominal fee for those people living on side streets - they would be happy to do this . MANAGER' S REPORT: (1) The Evergreen Mill wells will be tested on schedule prior to June 1 and will be available to the Town ' s system within a week after that. There are several items that need to be completed, in- cluding brick work on the building and installation of some special- ized control devices . The wells will be operational and the chlori- nation and fluoride facilities will be operable. (2) The Street Department has begun sidewalk, curb and gutter repairs. They began on S. King Street because this street is scheduled to be repaved this spring. Further work will be done on this activity over the next two months or so. (3) The bid date on the Potomac River project has been moved up to June 27th. The General Assembly amended the "error in bidding" statute, so we don ' t have to hold the bids three days, just for 24 hours. 11: COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES : It N Mr. Tolbert recommended that Council give the town employees a vote of confidence for the work they are doing. He felt they should "look at both sides of the coin, " give credit when it is due and criticize when necessary . Both Mr. Hill and -Mr. Murray agreed. PROPOSED ORDINANCE REVISING PARKING METER TIME LIMITS FOR THE MARKET STREET MUNICIPAL PARKING LOT AND ESTABLISHING PERMIT PARKING ONLY FOR THE VINEGAR HILL PARKING LOT. On motion of Mr. Herrell, seconded by Mr. Tolbert, an ordinance ' revising parking meter time limits for the Market Street Municipal Parking Lot and establishing permit parking only for the :Vinegar Hill Parking Lot was proposed . Mr. Murray had reservations about not keeping some of the 10-hour parking meters . He felt we have an ob- ligation to anyone who comes into town. We don ' t have one for the employees of the County, but we do for those who have business with the County - certainly these people should not be restricted by a three-month parking permit at Vinegar Hill . The east side of South King Street between the VEPCO right-of-way and Royal Street is one of the most dangerous places in Leesburg - he hoped we would keep this in mind as an option. Mr. Herrell agreed with this - he would like to see perhaps 10 spaces left for 10-hour parking. Mrs . Hill asked if we have any spaces for handicapped parking? Mr. Herrell felt perhaps there should be 5 to 7 spaces for this purpose. Mr. Murray said adverse' comments are that we--.are tak- ing the 10-hour spaces away in order to force the Vinegar Hill parking lot. He felt we might leave some of these 10-hour spaces until any remaining spaces are metered on the Vinegar Hill lot. Mayor Rollins said this parking lot is owned by all of the people in Leesburg and he is not sure it is in the best interest to ex- clude these people from parking there all day if they want to. He felt we must balance the equities of all the people. Mr. Tolbert asked why we have to change the system at all? On motion of Mr. Murray, seconded by Mr. Hill, it was proposed to amend paragraph (4) of the ordinance to read : (4) Municipal parking area between Wirt Street, King Street, Loudoun Street and Market Street for three- hour parking, except spaces designated for permit- only parking and such spaces as designated for 10- hour meters. Mr. Herrell felt some direction should be given to, the Manager to- night. Mr. Niccolls was concerned about removing too much of, the 10-hour parking also. He said about 25 of these spaces are being - Wit MINUTES OF MAY 23, 1979 MEETING. 358 used by people formerly using the Times-Mirror lot. .Roughly 50 spaces are being created at Vinegar Hill , but the discussion to- night indicates removing clo:;e to 100 10-hour spaces. It costs $6 . 23 per meter to make these changes . There would be close to 150 meters to be changed. He suggested that we might phase down the reduction of 10-hour spaces and see what happens, rather than doing it all at one time. There was discussion concerning leaving the two-hour meters, rather than changing them to three-hour ones . It was pointed out that the DBA feels the three-hour meters would be a great help. Mayor Rollins felt that, if some of the 10-hour meters are to be left, they should be specifically designated. On motion of Mayor Rollins, seconded by Mrs. Hill , Council voted by unanimous roll call vote to refer this ordinance back to the Finance and Administration Committee so that they can, with particularity, designate where these 10-hour meters will be and how many there should be: Aye : Councilmembers Cole, Herrell , D. Hill, M. Hill , Murray, Tolbert and Mayor Rollins . Nay: None. O PROPOSED RESOLUTION CONSENTING TO PARKING REGULATIONS FOR SECTIONS OF EAST LOUDOUN STREET AND SOUTH HARRISON STREET. CC On motion of Mrs. Hill , seconded by Mr. Herrell , a resolution C consenting to parking regulations for sections of East Loudoun Street and South Harrison Street was proposed. Mr. Niccolls explained just where this would be. Mrs. Hill and Mr. Herrell said the committee felt this should be metered to limit it to 2-hour parking. Mayor Rollins felt meters were unnecessary in these locations, a sign could be posted and the tires could be marked. Mr. Hill was in agreement with limiting parking on Harrison Street between Market and Loudoun Streets , but he felt there should be no parking at all between Loud- oun and Royal Streets. On motion of Mayor Rollins, seconded by Mr. Herrell, Council voted unanimously to re-refer this resolution back to the Finance and Administration Committee: Aye : Councilmembers Cole, Herrell, D. Hill , M. Hill, Murray, Tolbert and Mayor Rollins. Nay: None. 79-77 - RESOLUTION - ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING PROGRAM. On motion of Mrs . Hill, seconded by Mr. Tolbert, the following resolution was proposed: RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg, Virginia, as follows : SECTION I . (a) No person shall park a vehicle for more than two hours at the same location, except as otherwise provided herein, on any street designated by the Council for residents ' permit parking between the hours of 10 : 00 A.M. and 3 : 00 P.M. , Monday through Friday. (b) The provisions of paragraph (a) above do not apply to medical, service or delivery vehicles when used to provide services or deliveries to dwellings on streets designated for residents ' permit parking. (c) The provisions of paragraph (a) above do not apply to vehicles displaying a valid parking permit. (d) The penalty for violation of this reso- lution shall be as set out in Sections 10-161 and 10-162 of the Town Code, as amended. SECTION II .

The permit fee established in Section III herein shall be prorated to $2 . 00 . 0 On motion of Mrs . Hill, seconded by Mr. Hill, it was proposed to amend Section IV to read "Cornwall Street from Liberty Street and Slack Lane" . Col . Michael Grenata, a resident of 33 West Cornwall Q Street, requested that North Liberty Street from West Cornwall to Market Street be included in this test area. Mrs. Hill explained that Cornwall Street has been selected as a test area for a 90-day period. Mr. Herrell said the cars will just move over to another street, thus setting a precedent, and everyone else that does not have a driveway will want the same thing. He felt this would be letting themselves in "for a real bag of worms . " There followed extensive discussion on the problems that this might create. Mr. Murray said he is going to vote for this, but with the full knowl- edge that Council will be receiving more and more requests, and he will not continue to approve more streets. The amendment to Sec- , tion IV was approved by a vote of 4 to 3 : Aye : Councilmembers Cole, D. Hill, M. Hill and Murray. Nay: Councilmembers ,Herrell, Tolbert and Mayor Rollins. roll call The resolution, as amended, was then adopted by a vote of 5 to 2 , with Section IV reading as follows : SECTION IV.

Nay : Councilmember Herrell and Mayor Rollins. • 79-78 - RESOLUTION - APPROVING A TENTATIVE BUDGET AND TAX RATE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30 , 1980 AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET.

A tentative budget and tax rate for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1980 , as set out in the draft "Public Notice and Summary of the Proposed 1980 Budget" , dated May 18, 1979 and filed with the Clerk of Council is approved.

Mayor Rollins called attention to a change on Page E-16 of the Bud- get where the amount should have been changed to $5, 000 for Shop Improvements. Mr. Niccolls said this can be taken care of by amend- ment when the Budget is adopted or it can be taken care of now. The resolution was unanimously adopted : Aye: Councilmembers Cole, Herrell, D. Hill, M. Hill, Murray, Tolbert and Mayor Rollins . Nay: None. 79-79 - RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR DESIGN OF 1979 ADAP IMPROVEMENTS TO LEES- BURG MUNICIPAL AIRPORT AND MAKING AN APPROPRIA- TION THEREFOR. On motion of Mrs . Hill , seconded by Mr. Murray, the following resolution was proposed and unanimously adopted: RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg, Virginia, as follows : SECTION I . The manager is authorized and directed to enter into a contract with Dewberry, Nealon and Davis of Fairfax, Virginia, for engineering design and resident inspection (as required) services for the 1979 Airport Development Aid Program improvements to Leesburg Municipal Airport in line with that firm' s proposal No. 3616 , dated May 8 , 1979 , at a lump sum cost for basic services of $16 , 400 and resident in- spection services at a rate of $21 . 25 per hour, not to ex- ceed $11, 900. SECTION II . An appropriation is made from the Airport Fund to Account No. 30000 . 801 in the amount of $28 , 300 for the fiscal year ending June 30 , 1980 . Aye : Councilmembers Cole, Herrell , D. Hill , M. Hill , Murray, Tolbert and Mayor Rollins. Nay: None . 79-80 - RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE LOUDOUN TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY FOR STORM SEWER ENCROACHMENT. On motion of Mr. Murray, seconded by Mr. Cole, the following resolution was proposed: WHEREAS, the Loudoun Times Publishing Company, Inc . , 9 East Market Street, proposes to construct on their property a foundation wall and building which will intrude into an existing storm sewer easement granted to the town; and WHEREAS, the presence of the foundation wall and building may impede the required maintenance replacement or use of the storm sewer; and WHEREAS,, it is the desire of the parties to provide for the payment of the cost of said maintenance and/or replacement or use of the storm sewer : NOW, THEREFORE, the mayor is authorized to enter into an agreement with the Loudoun Times Publishing Company which 36 MINUTES OF MAY 23, 1979 MEETING. allows for the encroachment and provides for compensation to the town for any additional costs related to the en- croachment and holds the town harmless from any liability or claim as a result of this encroachment. The town attor- ney is to review and approve this agreement prior to execu- tion. Mr. Hill was concerned that this might be a repeat of the Hirst situation and he certainly would not want that. He asked if this extends to another owner? Mr. Niccolls said it does . The agree- ment has been executed and returned to us today - it is to be a recordable instrument. It is 1 to 11 feet from the storm sewer for the footer and Mr. Shope has required the owner to construct the foundation wall in such a way that it will be self-supporting in the event excavation occurs on our side of the wall . Equip- ment could get into it readily, but not as readily as an open field. There is no restriction though - that ' s the purpose of the cost ele- ment - if the line had to be replaced, it would be a simple matter to determine the added cost for work through that area. These costs would be assessed against the property owner at that time. Mr. Hill asked Mr. Martin if he sees any legal problem that could develop in the future? Mr. Martin said he went over the agreement and made some revisions, and he could see no problems . He did not think he would be happy with this though. Mr. Hill could see some problems with it. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 6 to 1 : Aye : Councilmembers Cole, Herrell, M. Hill , Murray, Tolbert and Mayor Rollins . 4..^ Nay: Councilmember D. Hill . 79-81 - RESOLUTION - MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1979 . On motion of Mrs. Hill, seconded by Mr. Herrell , the following resolution was proposed: RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg, Virginia, as follows : An appropriation is made from the General Fund to Account No. 10210 . 202 , Maintenance of Buildings , in the amount of $360 . 00 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1979 . Mrs. Hill explained that this was for carpet cleaning in the Town Office. The resolution was unanimously adopted: Aye : Councilmembers Cole , Herrell, D. Hill , M. Hill , Murray, Tolbert and Mayor Rollins . Nay : None . Mr. Hill was concerned that there has been no meeting yet con- cerning a decision to be made before meeting with the State Water Control Board concerning limits for our sewage treatment plant. He felt such a meeting should be held post-haste with our engineers to receive some guidance on this matter. Mr. Niccolls said he met with Mr. DeFalco Monday and he presented cost estimates for the various alternatives . There will be paper work on the Public Works Agenda for Tuesday ' s meeting and there can be discussion at that time. Mr. DeFalco can be there if Council would like. Mayor Rol- lins felt the question is what standards will have to be met. Mr. Niccolls said Mr. DeFalco has given costs for seven different stand- ards and he felt they have done a good job. Mr. Hill felt there are some other bases to be touched as well and he felt it would be wise to have the engineers present for the meeting Tuesday night. Mrs. Hill asked that the location of Community Development activities be given in the Activity Report. On motion of Mr . Tolbert, seconded by Mr. Cole, Council voted unanimously to adjourn the meeting at 9 : 40 P.M. — / //1.1 � Mayor Clerk of th= Council
