Petitioners
William W. Wolf, a resident of 1004 Orr Circle, S.W., addressed the Council stating that he
would be out of town on June 24 and would not be able to attend the workshop on the proposed zoning
changes. Mr. Wolf said that he understands why businessmen and women do not want to see any
zoning legislation enacted that could possibly limit the value or the future potential of their commercial
real estate holdings, but we must all realize that for the betterment of the community, we must have
limitations on our real estate holdings. We live in a community that is destine to become a densely •
populated area and we must set controls today in order that we may be able to live with the future
growth. The historic section of Leesburg is attractive today, because the zoning ordinances were
enacted and enforced. The zoning regulations should be designed for the community and not for one
or two of the wealthy business landowners. Mr. Wolf hopes that when Council makes their decision
on this matter, Council will look at the welfare of the people of Leesbirg and think of the quality of
life that Council's zoning decision will give us.
Rowland Carlson, a resident of 1105 Nickels Place, S.W., stated that he read, in detail, the
proposed special exceptions and wished to commend the employee who wrote this legislation. It is a
fine piece of work, it is very detailed, well organized and is presented very well. He stated that he is
very probusiness for Leesburg. He buys Leesburg whenever possible, and encourages other people to
buy Leesburg. He feels that Leesburg is a wonderful place to live and we should support our local
merchants. Mr. Carlson said that in the long run, if we support these proposed changes, it will make
Leesburg a more attractive place to work, a more attractive place to shop and will encourage more
people to want to open up businesses here in Leesburg. Mr. Carlson supports the proposed special
exceptions.
Tom Muir a resident of 1108 Bradfield Drive, S.W., addressed Council by stating that he
believes the workshop is an excellent indicator of the way Council has worked with the citizens of
Leesburg and encourages the Council to continue this type of activity. Mr. Muir wished to take a
conceptual approach to this special exception issue and explained that approximately 2 years ago,
citizens in his subdivision had a problem with a particular zoning, that had taken place about 10 years
ago, and is now going to be implemented. The development of the land at the end of Bradfield Drive
was going to negatively impact the standard of living of the people in this subdivision. He found that
during this time, Council and the Planning Commission lacked the tools to implement what the people
of this neighborhood wanted, which he found disappointing. He said that the residents, actively
petitioned the Council for action. Mr. Muir found that over the past two years, people do not passively
petition for action. He believes that the people of Leesburg are very much for the special exceptions
and applauds the Town Council and Planning Commission for taking a good stand on this issue and
believes that it is an excellent document. The Council and Planning Commission is showing a great
deal of responsibility to the citizens who elected them.
Mrs. Muir a resident of 1108 Bradfield Drive, S.W., addressed the Council explaining that about
a year ago Leesburg had an election, where many citizens worked very bard to see the face of the Town
Council, changed. In this election, there were two major issues that surfaced. One Sue is that the
people of Leesburg wanted to control development. The town has put together a document, which gives
the Town Council and Planning Commission the tools that are needed to properly plan and develop the
town. This document is highly overdue. The second issue is that the Town Council shifted, from a
council that was basically cold to the people of this town, to a council who is very concerned about the
497
Minutes of the regular Town Council meeting of June 13, 1989 - Page 2
people of this town. Mrs. Muir obtained a copy of the document, made several copies and distributed
them within the Country Club area. She then polled the citizens and received a general comment, and
quotes "we elected these people last year to do just this and I don't understand why now that they are,
they are being criticized, rather than commended." This is the general theme of the people that she
has spoken to.
Councilmember's Comments
•
Mr. Mulokey - thanked the citizens for coming to the meeting tonight and expressing their
views. People do not often speak out about things that do not affect them directly and many people
do not realize how much these special exceptions can affect them.
Mr. Mulokey stated that this is his first Council meeting since his return from europe and that
one of the things he did in europe was to visit the east German border and to see the extent of the
fortifications that the communists have set up to keep their citizens in. This is really a testament to
the success of the Marshall plan. The economic vitality of western europe and the "fence", basically
is a testament to the greatness and the foresight of Leesburg's most famous citizen, General Marshall
Mr. Mulokey further stated that he was very proud to play whatever part he could in saving Dodona
Manor and preserving it as a testament to General Marshall.
Mr. Mulokey noted that Channel 14 is now broadcasting the Town Council Agenda A number
of citizens at Saturday's Listening Session indicated some frustration at not being able to tell what the
agenda of the Planning Commission was. He hopes that with the restoration of the cable's service, the
town will be able to publish all town agendas on a continuing basis.
Mr. Clem - had no comments.
Mr. Kimball - noted that there were approximately 6 residents present at Saturday's Listening
Session, who shared their concerns about the Town Branch and the possible cutting of trees.
There is an opening on the Planning Commission, where recently the terms for Planning
Commissioners has been reduced from 4 years to 2 years. Letters of interest are being received
through the Clerk's office.
Mrs. Forester- thanked the citizens for their comments and encourages all citizens of Leesburg
to get involved, not only with the zoning ordinance but with all things that the Planning Commission
and Council do.
The Planning Commission had an informal discussion of the Capital Homes project. A site visit
will be made by the Planning Commission to see what is happening in terms of the trees, tree
preservation and the impact on the neighborhood.
Mrs. Forester congratulated the seniors at all the high schools in the county. Graduation is
Saturday evening. She also congratulated the groups who are involved with the all night graduation
parties.
Mr. Tolbert - was glad to see the support of the citizens at the meeting tonight.
Mayor's Report
Mayor Sevila - wished to follow up on his and Mr. Tolbert's visit to Chestertown and shared
some photographs taken during their visit three weeks ago. The purpose of their visit was to restate
the importance of the 1990 census, which preparations are underway for right now. The census bureau
will have a booth at August Court Days to try to promote the importance of their upcoming census.
The Mayor explained that Governor Schaffer said "for every uncounted person in the census, it costs
local government, municipalities, and counties up to $1500.00 for every uncounted person"
Manager's Report
•
Mr. Minor - reported that the Council did receive the written Activity Report on Monday and
noted a couple of items that were not included in this report.
First, the Welcome to Leesburg brochure, is at the typesetters and should be ready to go to the
printers, within one week.
The next item has already been touched on this evening, and that is the zoning ordinance. Kat
Imhoff, myself, the comprehensive planning staff,the zoning administrator as well as the town's special
counsel met for almost ten hours, straight on June 12 to work on this document, in an effort to do
what the Planning Commission asked. This was to sift through the significant comments that have
been received from a diverse group of people, in writing, through hearings and through the media. The
298
Minutes of the regular Town Council meeting of June 13, 1989 - Page 3
document will be available late Thursday or early Friday, at no cost to the media and to any member
of the public. The document is not a complete radical departure from the other ordinance but there
are major changes. Preparing this document has taken a lot of effort on the part of the town's
planning staff, and the town's legal counsel
.Mr. Minor clarified for the third time at a public meeting, that the town retained legal counsel,
not to defend the ordinance or to thwart the concerns of the business community, but rather to address
those concerns.
This document is something that is staff recommended, it predicts and incorporates what we
think the values of the Planning Commission and Council are. The key point is that this is not the
end of the review process but really, an important beginning.
Mr. Kimball - acknowledged the effort of Mr. Minor and town staff in preparing the Historic
District Parking Map, which is an excellent effort that the citizens, shoppers and DBA can use on a
continuing basis.
Mayor Sevila - is very supportive and greatful for the job that town staff has done on the
parking situation and hopes this will help to relieve the parking crunch in the downtown area. He
further suggested taking another look, to locate additional spaces. He mentioned a couple of loading
zones and asked Mr. Minor to look into these possibilities.
