PUBLIC HEARING ON REZONING ZM-58, RICHLYNN DEVELOPMENT INCORPORATED
Mr. Minor stated that Mrs. Semmes would be giving the staff comment on
this proposed rezoning.
Martha Mason-Semmes , through use of a map, pointed out the parcel which
is near the Leesburg Airport. The rezoning from A-3 to PD-IP (Planned
Development-Industrial Park) is proposed. They would also like to add, as
part of the rezoning, office and warehouse use and limited accessory commer-
cial uses. The general industrial rezoning request is in conformance with
the draft town plan, and the annexation agreement.
. John Harris of Patton, Harris , Rust & Associates, a representative of
Richlynn Development Corporation, gave an overview of the rezoning request.
A total of 77.76 acres, split by Route 643, is the area in question. On the
east side of Route 643 they are also asking that modular structures be
allowed. Warehouses., office areas and possibly restaurants and financial
establishments could also be included in this development area. A setback
reduction was requested. Additional screening and berming would be
provided. The various proffers were described.
Mr. Tolbert asked about the personal service establishment. Mr. Harris
explained it would be something like a dry cleaner, shoe repair store, etc.
Mr. Bos asked about the access lanes for Route 643. Mr. Harris said they
were approximately 700 feet. The concern is that if the road is made into
four lanes, too many access points would pose a safety hazard. Mayor Sevila
had a question about the pro-rata share agreement. Because of the prof-
fering agreement, an actual pro-rata share agreement may not be necessary.
The future transportation issues must be addressed now and these proffers
assure that the development will take this into consideration.

2}MINUTES OF THE SEPTEMBER 11 , 1985 MEETING
Alton Echols showed a sketch to the Council relating to the Route 643
corridor. In the year 2005 Route 643 will have the second highest traffic
count according to Highway Department projections. He proposed that at this
point in time access from the Bypass southward past the airport"be limited
to this road. The mistakes made on Route"7; e:g. the excessive access to
the eastbound lanes , should provide an example of what to consider. It was
stated that the proffers should have been published or available to the
public well in advance of the meeting so. that people could come before the
meeting and speak intelligently on the subject matter.
The public hearing was closed at this point. On a motion by Mrs. Hill
and seconded by Mr. Williams, ZM-58 was referred to the Finance and
Administration Committee for .further consideration.
Aye: Councilmembers Bos, Hill , Kelley, Tolbert, Williams and Mayor
Sevila
Nay: None
COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS
Mr. Bos, referring to the Activity Report, stated that the Board of
Architectural Review did meet last Thursday to consider the signage at
Market Station. Because of the variety of this development, there would be
varied styles of signs. The signs inside the building would not be subject
to the strict review process, but could also be reviewed.
Mr. Williams attended a school board meeting on Tuesday of this week,
along with staff and the Mayor, concerning the traffic signal at Dry Mill
Road and Catoctin Circle. The school board voted to require the town to
install a traffic signal in accordance with their prior agreement.
The Environmental Advisory Commission met on August 27 and elected new offi-
cers. They also recommended ,approval of the draft sign ordinance, however
they did feel that too many legalmeetings were involved and a regulation to
summarize this should accompany the document. The adoption of a leash law ,
similar to the county's was recommended along with reconsidering. improve-
ments on the Carrvale wall and the enforcement of the junk car ordinance.
Mrs. Hill reported on the Cable Commission meeting of the previous
evening. There are 17 new installations. this month bringing the total to.
2055. The top pay channel is HBO.
Mr. Kelley spoke about the EDAC committee meeting.. and its dedication
to provide exceptional service. He also stated that without the help of
staff members Owen, Semmes. and.Minor, the committee would__not. have
accomplished as much as it has.
Mr. Tolbert reported on the Airport Commission meeting of the previous
evening.
Mayor Sevila expanded on the school board meeting. The police force
had always controlled traffic at the intersection and the request for signa-
lization is not a reflection on this service, merely a result of a written
agreement for the extension of Catoctin Circle West.
•
The following proclamations were then read':by the Mayor:
WHEREAS, it is the privilege and duty_ of the American people to com-
memorate the 198th anniversary of the drfting' of the Constitution of the
