A regular meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in
the Council Chambers, 10 West Loudoun Street, Leesburg, Virginia
on October 28 , 1981 at 7 : 30 p.m. The meeting was called to order
by Mayor Pro-Tem G. Dewey Hill, with the invocation by Mr . Tolbert
and followed with the Salute to the Flag led by Mr. Willis. Pres-
ent were: Mayor Pro-Tem G. Dewey Hill , Jr . , Councilmembers Charles
A. Bos, Stanley D. Herrell , Jr. , Marylou Hill, John W. Tolbert, Jr.
and Howard M. Willis, Jr. ; also Town Manager John Niccolls, Assist-
ant Manager Jeffrey H. Minor, Assistant to Town Manager for Com-
munity Development Marc Weiss, Director of Finance Donald 0. Tay-
lor and Town Attorney George M. Martin. Absent from the meeting
was Mayor Kenneth B. Rollins .
The minutes of the regular meeting of September 23 , 1981 were
approved as written.
MANAGER' S REPORT:
Mr . Niccolls said a written Activity Report went out Monday -
he had no further comment on that.
COUNCILMEMBER INQUIRIES AND COMMENTS :
Mrs. Hill asked what is wrong with Leesburg Gardens and Leesburg
Village on the cable TV? Mr. Niccolls thought Leesburg Gardens wanted
a portion of the fees from the cable TV and he did not know the de-
tails of the others - he will get this information. Mr . Hill had re-
ceived calls from a couple of people in the trailer park - they could
not understand why they can ' t have it. Mr. Minor said Leesburg Gar-
dens had the unfortunate experience of being the first one hooked up
to the old Transamerican franchise and the owner will not give them
an entry agreement. There has been no cooperation at all from the
local manager of Leesburg Village. The owner manager in Washington
has been a little more cooperative, but they are in no hurry to do
anything about it. On the trailer park, they are getting a lot of
calls from people who want it, but they are referring them to the
owner of that park.
Mr. Bos congratulated the town on the Stewardship of the Land
Award - he felt this Council and the previous one, as well as the
staff and the various departments, can all be very proud of that.
It shows the town can do some things that no-one else can. We have
every right to be proud of what has been going on. Mr. Niccolls
said it is a paper award and suitable for framing - it is in his
office.
Mrs . Hill , on behalf of some of the citizens from Loudoun House
Apartments, presented $61. 00 collected by these people to be used
for something at Plaza Park - they are very proud of this park and
want to be a part of it. Mayor Pro-Tem Hill accepted this money on
behalf of the Town, saying this is a fine gesture. Mr. Niccolls
said they will each one be thanked for this contribution.
Mrs. Hill thanked Mr. Niccolls for including the Board of Ar-
chitectural Review activities in the Activity Report, but asked
that these be identified as to business or association or whatever .
Mr. Herrell asked what has been done concerning the termites
and/or post beetles in the Odd Fellows building and the log cabin?
Mr. Niccolls said both buildings have been treated, which involves
adding chemicals - it is supposed to last for a long time. He
learned with sadness that the Odd Fellows building has a minor roof
defect - it will probably involve some flashing around the chimney.
Mrs. Hill said they asked her to have the Fire Department check it
and find out why the flue is plugged up - they can' t have heat up-
stairs if it is to stay that way. Mr. Bos said that, regardless of
what the lease says, there are some on-going maintenance problems
with both buildings - it is up to the town as to whether they stick
to the lease or whether it is to the town ' s benefit to keep these
buildings preserved as far as exterior repair is concerned. Mr.
Hill felt it might be a good idea to make a survey of the buildings
to see what condition they are in and what we can be expected to do

there. Mr. Niccolls said the architect might have some infor-
235
mation to share with us . He will look into this and see where
we stand.
Mayor Pro-Tem Hill said he has been talking with Mr. Marvin
Belles concerning the Edwards Ferry Mews development. He under-
stood the Planning Commission has given approval to the prelimi-
nary plat. Mrs. Hill said she met with him today - he does not
agree with the mean averaging width and has talked to Geological
Survey and several engineers - none of them agree with this. He
thought perhaps he should talk with legal counsel - perhaps we should
get an opinion from our legal counsel . Mr. Bos had talked with him
also. We have a staff to make such determinations and somebody has
to interpret the ordinance. Other councilmembers have talked to him
as well. Mr. Hill said there are no restrictions or control on these
off-street projects. Mr. Bos said perhaps we need a section in the
Subdivision Ordinance to deal with these odd-shaped lots. Mr. Hill could
accept what he has done in "Brown ' s Meadow" but, in this case, there
is a chance that the residents could not even get into their garage.
He felt we should give the owners in such an area a "fair shot. "
Mr . Bos felt the issue is that the neighbors in this area are opposed
to the way it is being subdivided. Possibly three houses could be
acceptable here, but he has stretched it - regardless of how many,
O they will be odd-shaped lots. Mr. Niccolls said we have had odd-
shaped lots before - as an example, at the end of each cul-de-sac.
They have been measured just as these proposed lots have been and
are in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance. It would be difficult
Q to change the rules now and he did not know how they could be changed -
a the ordinance specifies "the lot width" - if it meant "frontage" it
should have clearly stated this. We have been consistent, but per-
haps the result is illogical . His earlier plan with rectangular
lots to the rear made more sense, but these were not allowable under
the ordinance. Now he has to do these angular lot lines to meet the
intent of the ordinance. If we are going to permit lots of that type
anyway we should permit the best configuration of those lots and not
force him into angles, curves, etc . The staff drafted some provisions
re pipe stem driveways and the number of tiers a lot could go back,
but the committee voted unanimously that our present regulations
were satisfactory. Mr. Herrell felt if this is the way the Zoning
Administrator says it has to be done, then this is it. This is what
he told Mr. Belles . Mrs . Hill said this is the way the Planning Com-
mission voted for the preliminary plan - Mr. Forbes is the authority.

81-143 - RESOLUTION - DIRECTING PREPARATION OF .MARKET AND
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE LEESBURG MU-
NICIPAL AIRPORT.
On motion of Mr. Willis, seconded by Mr. Herrell , the follow-
ing resolution was proposed:
RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia
as follows :
The manager shall secure proposals from qualified firms for
the preparation of a market and economic analysis of the
Leesburg Municipal Airport.
Mr. Bos said this was discussed in the Finance and Administration Com-
mittee - they felt this was the reasonable thing to do. Mr. Hill
asked if anyone has talked with the County? Mr. Bos said this is
part of the proposal - to have some liaison with the County to see
what everybody perceives might be the future for the airport. They
will have to wait until everybody gets through with the plan over
there. Mr. Niccolls felt they would have to take into account County
zoning actions and know the history of possible runway extensions and
other expansions at the airport, and know the kind of opposition that
O surfaced in 1975 and 1976 - these will be important ingredients in
rq. the final mix. Mr. Hill said, when he was on the committee, he men-
tioned something about an industrial park facility and one of the
County planning people said this woul0 never pass . Mr. Niccolls
Q said they have already zoned some of/ DIP. The resolution was unani-
C mously adopted:
Aye : Councilmembers Bos, Herrell , M. Hill, Tolbert, Willis
and Mayor Pro-Tem D. Hill .

Aye : Councilmembers Bos, Herrell, M. Hill, Tolbert, Willis

81-145 - RESOLUTION - ENDORSING CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSING FOR THE
ELDERLY.
On motion of Mrs . Hill, seconded by Mr. Tolbert, the following
resolution was proposed:
WHEREAS, James J. Humphrey Associates, Inc. , 15300 Pine Or-
chard Drive, Silver Spring, Maryland 20906, has requested
town endorsement of a project to construct 55 units of one
bedroom housing for the elderly on the site of Fort Evans
Gardens; and
WHEREAS , the provision of housing for all ages and groups
within the town is supported by this Council;
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg
in Virginia as follows :
238 MINUTES OF OCTOBER 28 , 1981 MEETING.
The application of James J. Humphrey Associates, Inc . , to
the United States Department of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment for assistance in the construction of 55 units of one
bedroom housing for the elderly on the site of Fort Evans
Gardens Apartments is endorsed.
Mrs. Hill asked Mr. Humphrey when he might hear on this application?
Mr. Humphrey said they will not begin until they have endorsement
from the town. They would start proceedings immediately. Con-
struction time would depend on time limit and how much is avail-
able - they might come up with an ulterior situation by which they
would get funds from private investors - it would still be Sec-
tion 8 for the elderly-owned. Mr . Herrell asked if these are for
62 or 65 and over? Mr. Humphrey said it is for handicapped and 62
and over. This is the piece of land to the right of the pool .
The age for handicapped is younger. Mr. Tolbert asked if Madison
House has some two-bedroom units? Mr. Niccolls said there are ten
two-bedroom units . Mr. Tolbert asked why these are all only one-
bedroom units? Mr. Humphrey said most of the elderly require only
one bedroom - they and their maids sleep in one bedroom. Mrs. Hill
hoped that the list for people to sign up will be here in the Lees-
burg area. Mr. Humphrey said this will be just another part of
Fort Evans and will be worked out from that office. Mrs. Hill felt
if the list is here in Leesburg, there is a better chance of some
of our people getting into these apartments - however, HUD regu-
lations will not allow this entirely. The initial list for Loudoun :.
House was not in the Leesburg area and, as a result, when it opened
most of the people were not from here. There is a Northern Virginia
jurisdiction for these HUD funds , so we would not be able to say it
will be all Loudoun people. Mr. Herrell felt this could not be com-
pared to Loudoun House - it is not the same type of development.
He wouldn ' t think he would put the list over in Maryland. Mr. Hum-
phrey said you would be surprised at what others have done. Mrs .
Hill said the initial list is the important one. Mr. Bos was en-
thused about this - he was glad to see someone entering the market
again and hopes it will work out well . Mr. Hill hoped it will be
geared to Loudoun and Leesburg people. Council turned down an ad-
ditional unit for Loudoun House because of the problems there -
they felt these problem; would only be compounded. Since then they
have gotten their place more in order . He felt the concept is good
and the need is here. The resolution was unanimously adopted:
Aye : Councilmembers Bos, Herrell, M. Hill, Tolbert, Willis
and Mayor Pro-Tem D. Hill.
Nay : None.
81-146 - RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT WITH DEWBERRY AND DAVIS
FOR PLANNING SERVICES AND MAKING AN APPROPRIA-
TION FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30 , 1982 .
On motion of Mr. Bos , seconded by Mrs. Hill, the following
resolution was proposed :
RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia
as follows :
SECTION I . The manager is authorized and directed to enter
into a contract with the firm of Dewberry and Davis for plan-
ning, market analysis and financial feasibility services for
the South Harrison Street project in an amount not to exceed
$40 , 000 .
I/
SECTION II . An appropriation is made from the General Fund
to Account No. 9150 . 314 , Land Planning, in the amount of
$40 , 000 for the fiscal year ending June 30 , 1982 .
Mr. Niccolls introduced Mr. Ed Byrne and Mr. Bob Skunda of the firm
of Dewberry and Davis. Mr. Byrne will be the project director for
the work and Mr. Skunda is a corporate officer representing the
firm in the negotiations over the contract. Council is aware of
the procedure used to arrive at the recommendation for Dewberry and
Davis - if there are any questions, they will be glad to answer
them. Mr . Hill felt Mr. Weiss has already answered the question
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 28 , 1981 MEETING. 239
that HUD will approve our going with the higher bid on this . J J
Mr. Bos was anxious to get this going so we can see the possi-
bilities for this area and what options are open. Mr. Hill asked
what time frame we are talking about here? Mr. Weiss said 18
weeks is the time in the proposal - this would put us around
the first or second week in March for the final study. Mr.
Niccolls said during the course of study Council will be consulted
as to its content and will be seeing the drafts from the planners
and meeting with them. The citizens advisory committee members will
be seeing the drafts as well. Council will be seeing where the
facilities are to be constructed as part of the grant project -
where they will be located, what they will look like, how they
will be used and then how best to market the industrial land that
will be developed. Mrs. Hill asked at what point would someone
who has an idea for a building come in? Mr. Niccolls said immedi-
ately - we would like any contacts to come in early. He said they
have been talking with one for over a year - we are looking for
contacts. It will be essential to have two or three people inter-
ested when we get the finished study - this will make the numbers
look pretty good. Mr. Hill asked where we are going to get the
money? Mr. Niccolls said we get a "letter of credit" - we submit
a request for this letter of credit and about three days later (or
whatever time we designate) they wire money to our bank. If we
Q have a big payment to be made on the 15th of next month, for ex-
ample, we can send in the request in advance of that and the funds
-) will be there in the bank for it to be made. The resolution was
Q unanimously adopted :
Q Aye : Councilmembers Bos, Herrell , M. Hill, Tolbert, Willis
and Mayor Pro-Tem D. Hill .
Nay: None.
81-147 - RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT WITH LANDSCAPE STRUC-
TURES FOR PLAY EQUIPMENT.
On motion of Mr. Tolbert, seconded by Mr. Bos, the following
resolution was proposed:
RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia
as follows :
The manager is authorized and directed to execute a purchase
order in favor of Landscape Structures, Inc . in the amount
of $15, 059 . 40 for playground equipment.
Mr. Niccolls said we will be installing this equipment with our own
forces. The resolution was unanimously adopted:
Aye : Councilmembers Bos, Herrell , M. Hill, Tolbert, Willis
and Mayor Pro-Tem D. Hill .
Nay: None.
81-148 - RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING REPLACEMENT OF THE ROOF OF THE
CONTROL BUILDING AT W.P.C.F .
On motion of Mr. Tolbert, seconded by Mrs . Hill, the following
resolution was proposed :
RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia
as follows :
SECTION I . The manager is authorized and directed to nego-
tiate the contract proposal with Anderson Sheet Metal Works,
Inc. for the replacement of the existing control building
roof at the W.P .C .F . at a cost not to exceed $7 , 129 . 00 which
includes the contractor ' s two year written warranty.
SECTION II . An appropriation is made from the Utility Fund
to Account No. 5300 . 710 in the amount of $7 , 129 . 00 for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1982 .
2"O MINUTES OF OCTOBER 28 , 1981 MEETING.
Y Mr. Niccolls said this was on a bid basis. The next bid was
$2 , 000 higher - $9 , 150 - there were only two bids out of five
sent out. Mr. Hill felt maintenance down the line might not be
a bad idea - flat roofs leak. We might have the same thing five
or six years from now. The resolution was unanimously adopted:
Aye : Councilmembers Bos , Herrell, M. Hill , Tolbert, Willis
and Mayor Pro-Tem D. Hill .
Nay: None.
81-149 - RESOLUTION - RECEIVING AND REFERRING THE APPLICATION OF
RANDALL W. AND DELORES Y . DeHART FOR REVISION
OF ZONING DISTRICT MAP TO THE PLANNING COM-
MISSION FOR PUBLIC HEARING UNDER CHAPTER 11,
TITLE 15 . 1 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA, AS
AMENDED.
On motion of Mr. Herrell , seconded by Mr. Tolbert, the follow-
ing resolution was proposed:
RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg, Virginia
as follows :
The application of Randall W. and Delores Y. DeHart for
revision of the zoning district map, assigned No. ZM-37 ,
is received and referred to the Planning Commission for
public hearing and recommendation under Chapter 11, Title
15 . 1 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended.
Mrs. Hill explained that this is a request for B-1 - it is the
land on either side of Memorial Drive and could be used for 26
town houses. Mr. Niccolls said the per lot cost to the present
owner is less than $12 , 000 for a duplex lot. He thought the
market might be able to support $12 , 000 in land costs per dwell-
ing unit in that neighborhood, so it may be feasible to divide it
into 13 duplex lots. The resolution was unanimously adopted:
Aye: Councilmembers Bos, Herrell , M. Hill , Tolbert, Willis
and Mayor Pro-Tem D. Hill .
Nay : None.

Mr. Taylor said $10, 000 is enough now - they will probably be back
for more in another month. Mr. Niccolls said they will keep track
of this - we are collecting it now at $600 . 00 per day. Mr . Hill
said we are in pretty good stead in this suit. Mr. Niccolls said
he will ask Mr. Ney to come out in about a month to give an update
on the case. Council was in agreement with this . The resolution

ished the final grading. When weather permits and the earth has
dried, they will have to reshape the earthen shoulder.

initiate the inclusion of pay for members of some of the Boards
the town has. He would like the staff to draw up a proposal on
this.
