MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL, JANUARY 28, 1987
The regular meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in the
Council Chambers, 10 Loudoun Street, SW, Leesburg, Virginia on January 28,
1987 at 7:30 p.m. The meeting was called to order by the Mayor with the

PUBLIC HEARING ON THE AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE REGARDING H-1
REGULATIONS
Mr. Minor explained that this pertains to the overhaul of the present
zoning ordinance. There has been intensive review of these amendments by
both the Planning Commission and the Board of Architectural Review and at
this time Mr. Minor introduced Susan Sherman to give a more detailed
overview.
Susan Sherman stated that this draft began at the staff level, moved to
the Board of Architectural Review level where there was intensive review and
additional clarifying language incorporated. Following this a consultant
from the National Trust for Historic Preservation reviewed the document with
both the staff and the BAR. It then went on to the comprehensive plan
committee of the Planning Commission where several concerns were addressed.
These revisions were incorporated into the draft and the Planning Commission
has approved this document. The document will provide a clearer
understanding for both residents and developers as to their rights in the
Old and Historic District.
Since there was no one from the public who wished to address Council on
this issue, the public heari*g was closed and referred to the Council level
at this time.
On a motion by Mr. Williams and seconded by Mr. Curry, it was
recommended that this be referred to the Finance and Administration
Committee for further consideration.
Aye: Councilmembers Curry, Kelley, Pelkey, Tolbert, Williams and
Mayor Sevila
Nay: None
At this time Dr. Stephen Mayo entered the meeting and Mayor Sevila
presented him with the following proclamation:
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, the future is, to a large measure, dependent on the good
health of our children and youth, the citizens of tomorrow; and
WHEREAS, good health, physical and mental, can be achieved through good
health habits learned early:
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that I, Robert E. Sevila, Mayor of the Town
of Leesburg in Virginia, do hereby proclaim the month of February as
CHILDREN'S DENTAL HEALTH MONTH
MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 28, 1987 MEETING :4 2 3
in the Town of Leesburg and urge that all citizens and all community
organizations join in the observance.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
the Town of Leesburg to be affixed this 28th day of January, 1987.
Dr. Mayo thanked the Mayor on behalf of the Leesburg and Loudoun County
dentists and the members of the American Dental Association.
PUBLIC HEARING ON IZM-76 BY A.C. ECHOLS, JR. , AND J. LYNN CORNWELL, JR.
As in the past, Mayor Sevila requested that Vice Mayor Williams chair
the discussion on this request.
Vice Mayor Williams stated' this was the second public hearing on this
rezoning request, and asked Mr. Minor to present the staff report.
Mr. Minor stated that this evening there were signed proffers offered
to the town. These are involved in the Gateway project. A more detailed
V^ site site plan for the northern part of Davis Avenue will be presented. The
second hearing was required because of some changes to the original applica-
N tion. Mr. Williams asked the applicant to step forward at this time for
W the applicant's presentation.
QRichard Thoesen, a professional engineer and partner in the firm of
Bengtson, DeBell, Elkin and Titus, presented some background information and
explained the changes that have been made to this'plan to date. In 1985 a
preliminary development plan was submitted. In March of 1986, with the
1 adoption of the new Town Plan, the transportation and land use issues were
1 revised to make this development comply with the land use regulations of
this parcel of land. The Town Plan now allowed high density residential use
for this area with an intensity of six to ten dwelling units per acre and
one corner designated as office/limited commercial. With changes to the
road network in the area the corner designated high intensity is more
appropriate in another portion of the parcel. Under application this
evening is the Lokey project which is an apartment complex. Present zoning
is B-2 and R-3 and the application requests a B-1 rezoning. The extension
of Davis Avenue eliminates some rights-of-way and buffer zones. A decision
must be made on the transportation issues in the area to determine where the
most appropriate spot would be for certain developments. The B-1 zoning for
the south side is for the development of a shopping center. The north side ,.
should incorporate a transitional use between the existing residential area
of Brandon and the new office/commercial use designated for the south side.
The use being applied for is an apartment complex with generous buffer zones
and many amenities being offered. The architectural treatment will be a
style compatible with the adjoining neighborhood. Traffic patterns proposed
would generate minimal trips per hour through existing developments.
Peter Ralaris an attorney for the developer, addressed the following
points: Pertaining to the proffers, the character of the condos will be in
compliance with existing residential development; the land will be donated
for the building of the roadways and there will be no additional condominium
development in this particular area.
Fred Hetzel differentiated between condominiums and apartments. This
will be a condominium project in which the units will be purchased by
individuals. This project will provide a good transition between the Lokey
development and the proposed commercial development.
Lou Dilda, resident of 327 Nansemond Street and President of the
Leesburg Square Community Association, spoke against the condominium
project in this area. He said that they believe that the Lokey apartments
will be sufficient for this area. Several problems have already arisen
because of the increased development in the area. Will the roadway be
sufficient to carry the increased traffic? Also, Leesburg already has too
many rental units in relationship to the rest of Loudoun County. He asked
for the preservation of the present zoning for this piece of land.
424 MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 28, 1987 MEETING
Eric Strom, resident of 107 Nottoway Street, agrees that a higher
density zoning for the area is not what the residents want. The opening of
Harrison Street has already caused a signficant increase in traffic and
created a traffic hazard.
Charles Smith, president of the Virginia Knolls Homeowners' Associa-
tion, stated the issues they are concerned about. Density and traffic are
the primary concerns. Some of the owners of townhouses in this area are
directly contiguous with this new development. These areas would be
concerned about the sale of this property and if the zoning .would be sold
with it. The Harrison Street traffic situation and what alternatives can be
offered is another issue. The Associationwould support a development plan
that coordinates all the issues but would be against a plan that has not
addressed the issues in a manner considering current residents in the area.
Mr. Williams asked what the stand of the Association was and Mr. Smith
replied that it really depends on the location of the resident. The
Association represents all the residents in that area and some are more
affected than others.
Alton Echols reflected back on seven years ago when a high density
development was proposed for this area. He said that to this time the •
density of the area was not increased, but actually decreased. Meetings
have been held with the residents most affected by this development and the
owners of this land. He stated that commercial development for this area . :
would generate less traffic than a condominium unit. He urged that the data
be collected accurately and that the residents are kept -up "to 'date on the
progress of this development.
Since there was no further comment from the public, the hearing was
closed at this time and referred to the Council level.
On a motion by Mr. Kelley and seconded by Mr. Pelkey the application of
ZM-76 was referred to the Finance and Administration Committee for further
consideration.
Aye: Councilmembers Curry, Kelley, Pelkey, Tolbert, and Vice Mayor
Williams
Nay: None
Abstain: Mayor Sevila
Councilmember Kelley asked for a five minute recess at this point
Upon reconvening, the Council moved on to the next agenda item.
COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS
Mr. Williams commended the town street crews that worked so hard in
the recent snow removal effort. Mayor Sevila echoed these sentiments and
asked that Mr. Minor relay the commendation from the entire Council to the
town staff involved.
Mr. Pelkey, having missed the last Councilmeeting, expressed his
sentiments regarding the appointment of Mr. Bos to the. Board of Supervisors.
He stated that he will be greatly missed on the Council and wished him much
success on the Board of Supervisors. He went on to say that there is now
the vacancy on the Council and gave a brief overview of the duties of a
Councilmember. He encouraged all interested citizens to become involved.
Mr. Curry reported on the last Planning Commission meeting at which
the_ Commission approved the following: building addition to 302 S. King
Street, preliminary and final development plat for an office building on
Liberty Street, preliminary and final development plan for Wendy's, final
development plat for a one lot subdivision for AT&T, and the final plat for
Section I, Roxbury Townhouses. The staff gave a presentation on the
development review process.

Mr. Kelley further commented on the snow removal recently undertaken
stating thatthetown also had to take on expanded boundaries and more
streets than in prior years. He especially commended the staff for removing
the snow on undedicated streets even though they are not requ4red to do so.
Mr. Tolbert briefly commended staff on snow removal.
Mayor Sevila commended the Finance-staff for their recent audit which
was accepted by the State. Also, the Mayor received a letter from the
Rescue Squad thanking the town for their recent contribution. He attended
the Planning Commission meeting and commended staff for their fine
presentation. Lastly, he mentioned a letter received from Board of
Supervisor Chairperson, Betty Tatum, in which she asked that the Council
reconvene the Joint Policy Committee with the Board to look at issues
relating primarily to transportation, specifically the toll road. At this
time the Mayor asked Councilmember Kelley to expand on the recent meeting of
this task force.
T Mr. Kelley stated that there are 13 members of this task force, with
0) the town having one member. There are two committees within this task
force, the finance committee and the basic transportation policy committee.
Basically they are looking at the broad transportation picture of Loudoun
County, presenting both a ten-year and twenty-year plan for the transpor-
tation issues. A draft report should be available in about two weeks.
CO
Q MANAGER'S REPORT
Mr. Minor highlighted some items from the activity report. He
mentioned that the streets that were plowed were not private streets but
were streets where the dedication had been made but the public facilities
had not yet been accepted.
The town's effort to address the development review process is an
effort to not only simplify this process for the development community, but
also to keep the review committees up to date on all changes that occur in a
more timely fashion. Increasing manpower involved and redetermining
responsibilities are helping to streamline this process.
