Sevila with the invocation given by Mr. Tolbert., followed by the Salute to the Flag led by Chip Sevila. Present were Mayor Sevila; Councilmembers James Clem; Christine Forester; Donald Kimball; Claxton Lovin; William Mulokey and Vice-Mayor John Tolbert, Jr. Staff members present were Town Manager Jeffrey H. Minor; Assistant Town Manager Steve Brown; Thomas A. Mason, Director of Engineering and Public,Works; Jay Hicks, Principal Planner; and Peter Stephenson, Planner. There were no minutes of previous meetings to be approved. PETITIONERS Peter Dunning and Judy Ferguson gave a brief overview of First Night Leesburg, presenting the Mayor and Council with brochures and buttons and making available copies of the Loudoun Times-Mirror editorial regarding the event. Mr. Dunning expressed appreciation to the Council and to Town Manager Jeffrey Minorand the town staff for the support which they offered. As yet there is no final accounting, but the event did end in the black; a final report will be submitted after all bills have been received. They did share some statistics regarding attendance, performing groups, volunteers, and supporting organizations, all of which showed a marked increase over the previous year. He also expressed pleasure over the fact that the County joined in supporting this effort this year, providing, along with the Town, a seed fund grant. What started as a Leesburg project, has grown into a "Leesburg as the Seat of Loudoun County" project. The Reverend Howard M. Wilson was presented a certificate of appreciation by Mayor Sevila for his service on the Environmental Advisory Commission from January. 1985, to June, 1988. PUBLIC HEARING ON AMENDMENT TO THE LOUDOUN COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE FOR REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT Peter Stephenson reminded those present that the Town Council initiated this amendment to the Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance as adopted and administered by the Town of Leesburg on September 27, 1988. He reported that this legislation would delete all reference to floor area and other ratio requirements for PD-H: Planned Development - Housing Districts, replacing these with standard maximum density, minimum open space and minimum recreational space requirements and definitions. Minimum lot size,width, and yard requirements have also been added, and the use requirements have been modified by deleting single-family detached and semi-detached dwellings from the permitted principal uses and deleting industrial and office building uses, services, and commercial uses from the permissible uses. The Planning Commission recommended approval of these substantive changes as well as other formatting changes on November 17, 1988. Staff remains supportive of the proposed amendments, which will actually be a part of the proposed comprehensive residential zoning ordinance revisions presently under review by the Planning Commission. Therefore, prior to the adoption of the PD-H amendments by Council, additional re-formatting will be necessary to ensure consistency with the other proposed residential districts. There are presently 57 acres of undeveloped PD-H zoning left in the town in the annexation area. This amendment would directly affect one project, Tuscan Hills which is in the development process at the moment. 1 Mark Weiss, representing Amurcon of Virginia, the owners and developers of Tuscan Hills, provided brief background information regarding this proposal. He was accompanied by Jim West, the director of development for Amurcon. Approximately two (2) years ago, Amurcon approached the Town Council regarding changes in the floor area ratio requirements. At that time it was agreed that changes should be made. However, since a comprehensive overhaul of the ordinances was planned in the near future, they agreed to wait for this to take place. Their intention in requesting the change in the ordinance is twofold: (1) to be able to build larger units; (2) to be able to build more townhouses than multi-family units. Finally, last fall they contacted the staff regarding the intended revisions. At that time they were told that it looked like it would be quite a bit longer before these revisions could be made and encouraged Amurcon to make a formal request for a specific change in the floor area ratio for this district, which they submitted to the town staff. Amurcon supports the staff draft and hopes for quick adoption, since they are very close to being able to move along with their project. The public hearing was closed at this time and moved to Council level for consideration. On motion by Mr. Clem, seconded by Mr. Lovin this item was referred to the Administration and Public Works Committee, February 8, 1989, for further consideration. AYE: Councilmembers Clem, Forester, Kimball, Lovin, Mulokey and Tolbert and Mayor Sevila jq4 • Minutes of the regular Town Council meeting January 24, 1989 - page 2 NAY: None COUNCILMEMBERS COMMENTS Mr. Mulokey reported on a positive meeting he had with Mark Jennings, Vice-president and general manager of Metromedia regarding Cable TV. Mr. Jennings indicated his intention to attend the Cable Commission meetings each month and report to them. Mr. Mulokey pointed out two items on the agenda which he found especially noteworthy. (1) the request for more staff in planning and zoning and (2) the item in the EDAC goals regarding plans for a citizens handbook Mr. Lavin reported on the unique Listening Session on January 21, 1989, held in his car. Five persons participated. He will get a report of results to the town staff. He reported that the Board of Architectural Review had met on Monday, January 23, 1989, and elected a new chair, Sally Rich, and vice-chair, Calloway Jones. Mr. Clem complimented the Police Department on the fine Annual Report. He also commended Officer Madigan, on the way he conducted himself during a recent high speed chase, giving his utmost concern and attention to public safety. He also commended the level of cooperation between the Leesburg police and Loudoun sheriff's department in this case. Mr. Kimball, who has been out of town, remarked what a great place Leesburg is live. He did express concern at the proliferation of new development community's signs which greeted him on the bypasa Ms. Forester reported that the Planning Commission is working diligently on the revised ordinances and should be finalized and ready to move to the Commission level when they meet next week. She expressed the hope that letters of interest for the openings on the Planning Commission will be forwarded to Mrs. Rosen. There are also two openings on the Board of Architectural Review. Mr. Tolbert reported that his Commission had met with 100% attendance. They are meeting their goals. They are working with Parks and Recreation on plans for an Arbor Day Celebration planned for April 17, 1989, at Ida Lee Park. MANAGER'S REPORT Mr. Minor highlighted several items in the written Activity Report which the Council received on Monday. He introduced Carole Poland who began as Deputy Town Clerk on Monday, January 23, 1989, replacing Sandy Wanless, who is now Secretary to the Director of the Parks and Recreation Department. He also mentioned that the Town has received its third Government Finance Officer's Association award for Distinguished Presentation for its fiscal year 1988 budget. Paul York will be accepting this award in the near future. He brought attention to the report regarding January Performance Awards, naming all recipients and highlighting some of the recipients and the situations, actions and accomplishments which led to their being chosen for this honor. A luncheon is planned for Thursday, January 26, to honor these employees. Mr. Minor shared information on the one percent income tax surcharge for transportation improvements proposed by Governor Bellies. Mr. Minor emphasized that this item is critical for Leesburg, as for all towns in Virginia which have severe transportation burdens and responsibilities. This would result in revenue being generated for Loudoun County by citizens of Leesburg, while the town would receive nothing in return for maintaining the roads within its jurisdiction. Senator Waddell has said that he intends to attempt to put language into the bill to protect towns so that they could participate in the revenue generated by this bill Indications from County government are that.the County would be willing to cooperate with the town to share the funds but this could not be done without legislation. Some remedy needs to be found for the apparent void in the proposal where towns are concerned.
