Petitioners
Stanley Caulkins - addressed the Council regarding the draft subdivision ordinance. He referred
to the section in the ordinance that notifies adjoining property owners of land that is to be subdivided.
He understands that this provision is to be deleted and stated that the proper government restraints,
should include notification of adjoining property owners. These sections should be left in the proposed
ordinance. Mr. Curry asked Mr. Caulkins if he was proposing that the owners be notified. Mr.
Caulkins stated,yes and spoke of a particular land owner that was not notified until the day of the final
hearing. Staff asked the property owner to make a decision in two hours, when staff had been working
on this project for approximately 4 months. Mr. Minor stated that his understanding is that this
version of the subdivision amendments, recommended by the Planning Commission, had the notifiration
requirements in it. Martha Semmes recalled that the Planning Commission did not recommend it, but
that staff does support some type of notification, at least at the preliminary plat stage.
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER REVISED AMENDMENTS TO THE SUBDIVISION AND LAND
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS REGARDING CRITERIA AND PROCEDURES FOR SUBDIVISION
PLAT APPROVAL, FEES FOR PRELIMINARY/FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND THE
DEFINITION OF REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Mr. Minor - explained that the Planning Commission and staff have been working very hard
on the revised amendments, both in terms of the planning staff and the engineering staff, in an effort
to strengthen the towns subdivision ordinance with respect to planning elements and engineering
construction drawing elements.
Martha Semmes - stated that the draft does include, under the preliminary plat contents, a
suggested item that includes notification at the preliminary plat stage of all adjoining property owners.
These amendments are part of comprehensive amendments to the Subdivision and Land Development
Regulations. These particular amendments apply to only subdivision plats and the construction
drawings that are associated with subdivision plats. Ms. Semmes briefly explained the three major
items that staff was trying to accomplish, first and most importantly in terms of the immediate
assistance to the development community is to better articulate the e1winperina 1pna'tmpnt'n
construction standards for the construction drawings that go with the subdivision plata The second
item being a process item, we revised the time frames associated with the review of subdivision plats
and construction drawings to better correspond with the State Code requirements. The State code gives
the town 60 days to review and take action on subdivision plats and development plans. The third item
is the institution of a process to better screen the applications when they come in and make sure that
they are complete before being passed on to the Planning Commission- Finally, staff has formalized
a preapplication procedure.
Mr. Mason - Briefly elaborated on the construction drawing requirements contained in the
revisions proposed to the subdivision and land development regulations. One of the concerns of the
development community is that the town needs a public facilities manual with more information on

what is required in the way of engineering design and construction standards. Mr. Mason also
mentioned the term "required specifications", stating that these requirements refer to a list of current
state, federal and local regulations, such as FEMA regulations, state erosion and sediment control
regulations, state highway and state health department regulations, as well as a number of the town's
adopted plans and master plans.
On motion of Mr. Curry, seconded by Mr. Clem, Council unanimously voted to refer this item
to the Finance and Administration Committee for further consideration.

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER REZONING APPLICATION #ZM-80 BY ALAN I. KAY OF
BETHESDA, MARYLAND
Martha Semmes - presented a brief staff report explaining the rezoning application. The
property is located in the southwest quadrant of Route 643 and Route 654. It is also adjacent to the
north runway extension of the town's airport and next to the Richlynn Airpark Building G, which is
under construction. The applicants have asked that this 51 acre parcel be rezoned from County A3 to
PDIP. The Planning Commission on January 7, 1988 recommended approval of this application subject
to several conditions. One of them being that the applicant comply with the Airport Commission's
recommendations regarding restricting certain airport related uses, which was done for the Richlynn
rezoning. Also, the applicant must contribute its fair share to offsite transportation improvements. The
town has not received signed proffers for this application, therefore,it will be necessary to have another
public hearing on this application. Mrs. Semmes then briefly summarized the draft proffers that were
received in November. The applicants have asked for a special exception for this property to be
approved as part of the rezoning to permit office use. They have agreed to donate a strip of land,
which is necessary for the town's northern runway extension. They have asked that they be credited
the value of the dedicated property towards the transportation pro rata contribution. They have agreed
to airport noise restrictions and finally, they have agreed to preserve some existing tree cover on the
property. Staff is still working with the applicant on a number of issues including addressing
architectural guidelines, and a donation for a fire-rescue service.
Mr. Steve Robin - representing the applicant, addressed the Council stating that Mrs. Semmes
has covered a lot of the points, which he had sketched out. The applicant is proposing a 51 acre project
minus the land that will be dedicated to the airport. We have asked for a 50/50 split between light
industrial and office use. The master plan calls for land around the airport to be employment,
therefore, there is no conflict. Presently, there is water and sewer to the property and we are being
asked to bare a share of the water infrastructure in this area, in which the share for this water is above
and beyond the normal tap fees collected. The applicant is giving a frontage improvement of two lanes
across the property frontage, which is estimated at approximately $200,000.00. In addition, we are going
to assist with the Miller Drive connection, and assist in the creation of a connection between the Ward
property through Stratford to the Battlefield Parkway. We are prepared also to give a donation by way D
of proffer to the road network. We do have some problems with the amount that has been suggested
in the guidelines. The contribution is $1.64 per square foot, which translates into a very substantial m
increment in terms of the value of this land. If the town continues to ask for this kind of contribution N
from industrial and office properties, the town will make office and industrial land non-competitive in
the Leesburg area.
Mr. Curry - asked Mr. Robin why he felt this was not competitive with other properties. Mr.
Robin stated that the contribution works out to be approximately $1 million for a 51 acre parceL This
is a tremendous amount for a 50 acre parceL When this amount is added to the land cost, it bares
a high percentage relationship to the land cost. Mr. Robin stated that he is not familiar with any land
in the County, that is this high.
Mr. Curry stated that the town's figure was based on the traffic generated by this property,
making it competitive with any other land in the Town of Leesburg.
Mr. Minor compared this cost to availability fees stating that the town looks at what it will cost
to provide service and what the new development and new growth should pay and then tries to collect
this amount, but at the same time we want to be competitive with the rest of northern Virginia.
Mr. Clem stated that this application appeared before the Airport Commission and was well
received. This plan should be "married" in with the other plans so that we can look at the road
network, as a whole. He further stated that the town does have a water problem in this area. The
fire flows are a major concern and would have to be addressed.
On motion of Mr. Kelley, seconded by Mr. Clem, Council voted unanimously to refer this item
to the Finance and Administration Committee meeting of March 15, 1988.
