p
to use the available space. There is no restriction on the income for ten- O 9
ants, except on the 20 percent - they must have available 20 percent of the
total number of units to rent to tenants who have less than 80 percent of the
median income - around $27,000 to $28,000.
Mr. Gheen asked if there has been a survey as to the probable family mix?
Mr. Marshall said the one-bedroom units would be rented to one or two people.
If more than two people, they must go to two bedrooms. The market survey de-
mand was heavier for one-bedroom and two-bedroom heavier than three. They had
only about seven to eight percent demand for three-bedroom units. Mayor Sevila
asked if this market survey could be made available as part of the public hear-
ing? Mr. Marshall said it can be. Mayor Sevila emphasized that it is Council's
t Iresponsibility to consider whether or not, in fact, the need exists, so this
information would be very helpful. He asked if Mr. Marshall is aware that Coun-
cil is also considering the same type of financing for Fort Evans apartments.
Mr. Marshall saw no real competition from this - the demand was way above this
figure. Mayor Sevila said it would be helpful to have all this information avail-
able to Council.
Mr. Niccolls said staff is preparing a report on the broad question of this
type of financing for multi-family projects . They have learned so far that Council
is free to impose almost any type of requirement on applicants for this type of
approval. They are securing copies of regulations from the Alexandria Housing
Authority and should have that available for next week's meeting. The appli-
r- cant in both cases should be advised that the town will be considering require-
ments on the project and one of the most obvious is that they will want a detailed
W description of the project and the amenities proposed - standard requirements for
landscaping, screening, parking requirements, etc. - a written architectural pro-
m gram having perhaps some schematics of such things. Council should have this in-
Q formation so they can consider this - not just a broad approval. Mr. Marshall
said they will have this information available. '
Mr. Mike Rich, of 159 Edwards Ferry Road, felt Council has asked a lot of
very good questions, but he questioned the real need for additional subsidized
apartments in Leesburg - he hoped they will look at this very closely. We have
seen the results of bad management. It has been a while since any apartments
have been built and there possibly is a need, but he hoped Council will weigh
I very carefully the need for this type of financing and 'its restrictions. Mr.
Willis said these are not Section 8 apartments - there is a difference in those
and the ones proposed here. Mr. Rich said there is an income restriction on
20 percent of the units though and he wants Council to look carefully at this.
Mr. Bos asked if they could build these apartments without going to the
Housing Authority and have a product that will rent for what people can pay?
Mr. Marshall said they are required, under this program as well as others, to
go to the private sector lenders in a community before putting in an applica-
tion to ascertain if it would be feasible to go through the private sector fi-
nancing - they did this and the rents would be astronomical for two reasons.
The bond rate is 10.78 and may be 12 before they would get to it. The cheapest
private sector they have found anywhere is 131/2 percent, with either 10 ;2, 3 or 4
points and the damaging part is that it is short term - the most they have found
is 25 years and you have to get into the millions to get that kind of loan. If
you have to amortize that amount of money at that interest rate over such a short
period of time, the rents would be $900 to $1,000 a month. People just couldn't
afford to rent them.
Mr. Gheen asked what radius they covered in making their survey of the pri-
vate sector - did they go to New York, to Washington or where? Mr. Marshall said
they used the local banks right here. The savings and loans will not even talk
this amount of money. They have to put this in a letter of declination to them
and say that if they were to loan it, it would be at 131 for 13 or 15 years, 5
points, flexible rate, guaranteed for six months only. They will not tie them-
selves down for a long period of time. They have three or four letters from
banks in the Leesburg area.
Mayor Sevila declared the public hearing closed and referred this matter to
the workshop on May 2nd.
COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS:
Mr. Bos visited part of the Environmental Advisory Commission meeting last
night - one of their interests is attending council and town board meetings and
Mrs. Frey is here tonight. One of their ideas was to find out the scope of exist-
ing town ordinances and legislation to give them the framework from which to work.
1
MINUTES OF APRIL 25, 1984 MEETING.
90 There was interest last night in sign and fence ordinances. They were very in-
terested in the town's litter program. They are an enthusiastic group and he
thinks we will be hearing some suggested action programs for consideration.
Mr. Tolbert visited the airport today - the flight service station seems
to be coming along very well - it is coming out of the ground now, with most of
the siding on.
MAYOR'S REPORT:
Mayor Sevila reminded members of the Special Olympics on May 8th. Also,
the dedication of the little league fields at J. R. 's Goodtimes this coming
Saturday at 11:00 a.m. - this is an excellent example of the private and public
sectors working together - this is also a good opportunity for candidates to
meet the public. Next Tuesday is election day in the town - this is a right,
a privilege and probably the most valuable that we have as Americans.
MANAGER'S REPORT:
Mr. Niccolls reported that Don Taylor, Andy Shope, Randy Shoemaker and he
are interviewing five consultants qualified to perform engineering services during
the construction?the wastewater treatment plant - this is a major engineering ser-
vices contract and they are putting this together in very sophisticated proposals.
They hope to indicate to Council by next Wednesday which two of the firms should
be ranked first and second in terms of the presentations and the proposals. This
contract should be awarded fairly quickly -_ the grant from the Water Control Boardi,
has a limitation to award the contract by OEtober 1, with provisions for a 90-day
extension. Each of these firms has been given a set of plans and specifications
and some have already made some very valuable suggestions for revisions. It has
been a valuable process and one that will lead to a better project and a better
managed project. This contract should range from over $300,000 to as much as
$500,000on an $8,000,000 project. This sounds like an easy task, but consider-
ing the federal regulations and the detail involved and the importance of making
sure every dollar the town spends is eligible for 75 or more percent of reimburse-
ment, this is a very important contract.
An ad has been placed in the Times-Mirror this week to advise everybody
that if they haven't received a notice of the street renumbering, they should
call the office. They are hand-carrying individual notices to tenants in the
apartment projects.
He called attention to the colored version of the combined zoning map.
The Town Plan draft which was released by the Task Force recently is at the
printers and there will be 100 sets available for distribution in ten days or so.
It will be submitted to the Planning Commission and Council at that time.
Street repairs are beginning again - there are a number of areas needing work.
He gave an in-depth report on contractual changes on the flight service sta-
tion at the airport. Moss Associates, Inc. , with whom the town has a contract in
the amount of $1,038,000 to construct the flight service station, is building two
or three other projects in the state and has requested a time extension to and in-
cluding June 1 for this project (this would extend the time for which the liqui-
dated damages of $450 a day would begin running.) A communication was received
from Moss last week voluntarily declaring itself in default of the contractual
agreement and declaring its intention to work with the bonding company as surety
to complete the contract as a construction manager. The bonding company, Fi-
delity and Casualty, and Moss Associates has already taken steps to pursue the
work and complete it in a timely way. There have been two meetings, in which
they have worked out an understanding on this project,.which he described in de-
tail. While the work may not be finished by June 1, he has told the bonding com-
pany
that the town will not modify the contract and will consider whether addi-
tional extensions are appropriate if needed. In consideration of not expelling
the contractor, they have insisted that Mr. Moss take personal charge of the con-
tract and more closely supervise the work - he has agreed to spend at least two
days a week on the job. The town has also insisted that obligations to subcon-
tractors and suppliers are to be met on a timely basis by the surety - this is
both a performance and a subcontractors ' payment bond. Moss is not in financial
trouble - the problem has to do with other operations of his corporation. We
could stop the project, but see no reason to do so in light of the cooperative
spirit and the obvious interest of the surety to move it forward and their com-
mitments to date. Formal notice has been sent to the bonding company today (Mr.
Martin has reviewed it) andygave asked them to respond to the terms we have set.
MINUTES OF APRIL 25, 1984 MEETING.
Mr. Bos asked what Moss ' corporate problem is? Mr. Niccolls said he 9 1
asked him if anything on this job is putting him in finahcial jeopardy and
his reply was that it is not any financial problem related to this job. Ap-
parently other jobs are causing his problem. He has declared default on all
three of his jobs. We received his notice on April 18th. Mayor Sevila asked
that all this information be sent to councilmembers. Mr. Coffey asked if they
have agreed to this? Mr. Niccolls replied that Mr. Moss and a representative
from the insurance company were here yesterday and agreed to all this. We ex-
pect to receive a letter saying how they will proceed with this work.
84-0-14 - ORDINANCE - AMENDING THE LEESBURG ZONING MAP IN RE IIZM-45.

92 3. Limitations on Building in Flood Plain
The applicant will construct no principal or accessory structures upon
the property which is the subject of ZM-45 that lies within the 100-year

termined by the Town Engineer and by the United States Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) .
4. Transportation Access
Primary access to and from the subject parcel will be along Exeter
Drive as shown on the two alternate plans attached hereto and made a
part hereof as Exhibits 112 and #3, respectively. Said plans depict the

15 by-pass is obtainable only via Balls Bluff Road. The applicant will
construct said Exeter Drive in accordance with alternative one, above,
if allowed, and in accordance with alternative two only if not allowed
to build alternative one. The construction of said Exeter Drive in either
case shall be to standards approved by the town and shall be substantially
completed prior to the obtaining of any occupancy permits for the residen-
tial units built upon the land which is the subject of ZM-45.
5. Transportation Dedication

by-pass, or up to 2.2 acres of land as shown on the plan attached hereto
and made a part hereof as Exhibit #5 for the purpose of the construction
thereon of a portion of a grade-separated "diamond" interchange at said
location depending on whether a "cloverleaf" or a "diamond" interchange
is required at that location by the town. However, such dedication will
revert to the applicant in the event there is a decision by the Virginia
Department of Highways and Transportation and the town not to require ac-
cess
from the Exeter Project to the Route 15 by-pass via a grade-separated
interchange located at the eastern terminus of Exeter Drive. And provided
further that no land shall revert to the applicant upon which public road-

1 tional facilities and buffering set forth in the January 19, 1984 draft of
the Proposed Amendment of the Leesburg Zoning Ordinance to provide planned
development regulations, provided that such requirements are not substan-
tially amended after January 19, 1984 and provided further that the appli-
cant may continue to rely on any approvals, such as subdivision, site plan
and related approvals, granted to applicant, or otherwise materially re-
lied upon by applicant pursuant to the approval by the town of ZM-45.
SECTION II. This ordinance shall be in effect upon its passage.
Mr. Bos asked if there are any changes from what was discussed at workshop? Mayor
Sevila replied that the date of the draft of the PD ordinance has been changed
to reflect the April 18th date. Mr. Bos understood the applicant is prepared to
make a PD application for the rest of the Exeter development fairly soon after
that ordinance is adopted by Council. Mayor Sevila asked Mr. Robin how badly
it would impair his client if this matter were carried over to the next meeting,
thereby allowing the May 2nd workshop meeting for further discussion of the PD
ordinance? Mr. Robin replied that the whole purpose of coming to Council with
ZM-45 was to move forward with a construction schedule this year - unless there
are some substantial changes that would very much negatively impact this project,
they will still be coming back under the PD concept. They would much rather not
wait until May 9th - they would like to get the process going. Further discus-
sion revealed that Council would rather wait until the PD ordinance is approved
to act on this matter. However, Mr. Robin felt Mr. Kuchta would want Council to
vote on this matter tonight and take that particular qualifier out of the proffer -
he wants to move forward on this. They will rely on the PD ordinance as they

eventually pass it and proffer to bring it in under that ordinance; also, to 93
allow the town another month for adoption of the PD ordinance. He is the au-
1 thorized agent for Mr. Kuchta for this purpose and will make those changes.
These changes were made by Mr. Robin.
