MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL
April 13, 1988
A regular meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in the Council Chambers, 10
Loudoun Street, S.W., Leesburg, Virginia on April 13, 1988 at 7:30 p.m. The meeting was called to
order by the Mayor, with the invocation given by Councilmember Tolbert and the Salute to the Flag
led by Councilmember Clem. Present were: Mayor Robert E. Sevila, Councilmembers James E. Clem,
Arl Curry, Hunter Leach, John W. Tolbert, Jr., and Charles Williams. Absent was Councilmember
Kelley. Also present were: Town Manager Jeffrey H. Minor, Assistant Town Manager Steve Brown,
Director of Finance Paul York, Director of Planning, Zoning and Development Martha Mason Semmes.
On motion of Mr. Williams, seconded by Mr. Leach, the minutes of the regular meeting of
December 9, 1987 were unanimously approved.
Petitioners
Mr. Bill McDonald, a resident of 306 West Market Street addressed the Council, concerning the
rapidly developing land, which surrounds his residence. One main concern was the method used in
determining the width of lots. He offered a proposed revision to Section 15-4 of the town's Zoning
Ordinance, which proposes that the width of the lot be taken, beginning at the setback line of the
street.
He questioned whether the width of a lot should be determined by a member of the town staff rather
than by a builder or developer. This is one of the ways that residents can preserve the beauty and
open spaces in their neighborhood.
Dr. George Poehlman, a resident of 18 Morven Park Road also addressed the Council on this
same issue. He specifically addressed two areas of town, proposing an average setback for each. They
are; West Market Street, with an average setback of 115 feet, Morven Park Road, with an average
setback of 45 feet. He encourages the Town Council to consider this proposal and to implement it as
soon as possible.
Mayor Sevila asked Ms. Semmes what the width of Morven Park Road will be after it has been
widened, including curb and gutter. Ms. Semmes stated that the ultimate right-of-way for Morven
Park Road is 60 feet with 36 feet of pavement section.
This item was referred to the Finance & Administration Committee of April 19, 1988 for further
discussion and consideration.
PUBLIC HEARING - POTOMAC CROSSING SOUTH CONCEPT PLAN BY POTOMAC CROSSING
L. P./KMWM CORPORATION, TO AMEND THE TOWN PLAN
Martha Semmes presented a brief staff report stating that the property is located on Edwards
Ferry Road and is proposed for rezoning to the planned residential neighborhood category. Under the
concept plan, the applicant is proposing a total of 530 dwelling units on 117 acres. The entire property
is approximately 130 acres. This results in a residential density of 4.5 units per acre. The proposed
housing mix is 43% single-family, 35% townhouse and 22% multi-family units. The Planning
Commission on February 18, 1988 recommended to Council, denial of this application, unless a number
of conditions were met. Ms. Semmes briefly explained each condition.
Mr. Tom Nails, representing the applicant addressed the Council explaining that the applicant
is at the first stage of a 3 or 4 step process. The applicant is working hard on this project to bring it
in line with town requirements. Mark Montgomery, the developer of this project, then reviewed the
layout of the concept plan.
Mr. Dennis, addressed the Council explaining that Mr. Montgomery has made several
concessions to concerns that were raised in earlier meetings. A. matter th Etta' cc=M-n^ Mr. Dernis
is the question of density.
Ms. Mary Harris, resident of the Cattail Run Farm on Edwards Ferry Road addressed the
Council by stating that she is against any amendment to'the Town Plan to allow increased density of
dwelling units.
Mr. David Gripp, a resident of 303 Heritage Square, and the Vice President of Corporate Affairs
for the Rehau Corporation, raised an issue on the alignment of the Battlefield Parkway. Rehau owns
approximately 25 acres, south of the proposed Potomac Crossing Plan. If the alignment is accepted as
shown on the project, Rehau would lose approximately one third of its total acreage. Rehau's first
concern is to preserve their existing acreage. "1

Minutes of April 13, 1988
Mr. Hubbard Turner, a resident of Leesburg addressed the Council explaining that the town
has spent considerable effort to arrive at a Town Plan and a density level that is acceptable to everyone.
He believes that the town should abide by the density established in the Town Plan and concluded by
requesting that the Town Council abide by the Town Plan.
Mrs. Carra resident of the Fort Evans Farm, explained that if the Battlefield Parkway
alignment is moved to the west it would go right through the Fort or possibly through her home. She
stated that the town needs Mr. Montgomery to put in the water and sewer lines, a lift station and
Battlefield Parkway. For the sake of the tax payers in Leesburg, the Council would be doing a grave
injustice to withhold Mr. Montgomery's application, for theoretical density.
The public hearing on this item was dosed. Mayor Sevila said the Council will receive public
comment in writing for a period of ten days. On motion of Mr. Williams seconded by Mr. Clem, this
matter was referred to the April 19, 1988 Finance and Administration Committee.

of real property in Leesburg has gone up to approximately 22.9%. The proposed tax rate remains the
same, 18 cents. The budget for all funds is approximately $30 million, $10 million more than last year.
This increase is due to the town's progress anticipated on the capital projects. To help finance these
projects, a bond issue of $2.4 million is proposed. General fund expenditures are slightly over $7
' million, which is a 12% increase over last year. The projected fund balance for the end of this fiscal
year is $212,000. The availability fees for the utility fund will total more then $4 million. Capital
improvements for 1989, for all funds is approximately $19 million. The budget proposes 12 new
