A special meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held on January 5, 1988 at 4:30 p.m.,
in the Council Chambers, 10 Loudoun Street,S.W., Leesburg,Virginia pursuant to notice thereof having
been delivered to all councilmembers prior thereto, for the purpose of considering legislation with
respect to Sections 1 and 7 of the Tavistock Farms Planned Residential Neighborhood, as well as the
proposed school site. The meeting was called to order by Councllmember Tolbert. Present were:
Councilmembers Arl Curry, Brian Kelley, Hunter Leach and John Tolbert, Jr. Absent were Mayor
Robert E. Sevila, Charles Williams and James E. Clem. Also present was Town Manager Jeffrey H.
Minor.
Mr. Minor stated that town staff has been working for several months with the Tavistock
Farms, Signature Communities people and the Board of Education with respect to development,
primarily of the new elementary schooL Under the proffers of the Tavistock rezoning, there are certain
conditions that need to be met before the property can transfer from Tavistock Farms to the school
board.
All parties have been working together to resolve the engineering issues related to Section 1
and Section 7, which relate to the Tavistock school site. The town prepared a letter agreement on the
school site for engineering comments on the construction drawings. This agreement has been executed
by the town and by the school board. The town has issued a similar agreement, today, for Section 1
and will probably issue another one for Section 7, by Thursday.
To help move this process along, we have two items of legislation that deal with Tavistock. The
first is legislation that deals with Sections 1 and 7 of Tavistock, the second deals with the school board.
On motion of Mr. Kelley, seconded by Mr. Leach, the following resolution was proposed and
unanimously adopted.
