PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED.AIRPORT MASTER PLAN UPDATE
Assistant Manager Steve Brown reported that the Airport Commission has been
working hard the last few months to come up with a plan for the Airport - they
are experiencing a lot of growth. The Commission has contracted for an up-date
of the Master Plan with the firm of Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendoff, who
are specialists in aviation planning. Mr. Wilke said they have been engaged in
the study and preliminary research for nearly a year and have presented ways
and recommendations for meeting this tonight. He gave a presentation on what
was present at the Airport at the time they started and said the big issue is
the toll road. Urbanization could result in land uses causing numerous con-
cerns later. The toll road might lead to rapid urbanization. This is one of
the very few facilities that could accommodate the whole range of general avia-
tion aircraft and'this could become a reliever airport - this is a very important
consideration. This part of the country could soon be well under development
or be committed to development. They need to decide its future capabilities
and look at its economic impact . General aviation is really two separate seg-
ments. The majority are saying that the business community is increasingly
finding it attractive - there is an increasing demand in the .corporate world
for alternative aviation facilities. There are two types of aircraft - piston
and turbine. Piston represents private or personal and turbine aircraft repre=
sents generally the business side. Turbine aircraft plays a small but important
part. What would be the economic impact of that activity? Approximately 60 per-
cent of the demand for corporate aircraft was based on having a 60-40 split.
Growing from three turbine-engine aircraft to 30 in 20 years is a two percent
annual growth rate. It is projected to run at about five percent, so this is
a very strong growth rate. They believe that, with the recently extended runway
and availability of first-class fixed base operators, Leesburg will be on an equal
with Dulles-Manassas. It is really quite strong. The majority of lines is ex-

petted to grow at about one and one-half percent - about fifty percent higher
than the Commonwealth' s . What does that mean in terms of facilities? The
major facilities are t-hangars, apron areas and conventional hangars. There
is a demand for a private flier (piston engine) aircraft - they are at about
70 now. They would expect there would be a demand for about 72. If growth
goes as projected, but is modest , they would need almost 100 hangars by the
end of the planning period. Where do they put t-hangars? There appears to be
enough apron area now to accommodate the demand, but it isn' t always in the
ideal place. Conventional hangars are the type just put up by Janelle Avia-
tion - where major aircraft could be based out of the weather. There are two
levels of facilities - a recent one of about $30,000, also with future and pro-
posed aids, which would bring it to about $45,000. There is a significant
growth in facilities. The runway is well designed to do what it is meant to
do - he did not see any aids of assistance. They want to develop a plan.
He asked what factors are to be considered that might make certain types of
improvements harder? Leesburg is unique in that it is so small it is closely
oriented to the runway, where many aprons would have that much space around
the airport . They need to look at what they might need in accordance with
their desires . They looked at a lot of land development - these people were
concerned about how much of the airport property would be necessary for growth
and for its most recent effect on the environment . They recommended very se-
vere restrictions in other areas . There are encumbrances on development poten-
tial and developers may not be able to develop that property. They might be
subject to negotiation. They looked at general aviation growth. This could
be developed for similar aircraft - it was a plan recommended and endorsed by
the FAA. They were to talk with neighboring landowners to see how they felt
about it . They are in the process of cooperating with Ward Corporation more
toward the middle of the field. From a capacity point-of-view, they both have
the same special capacity - they are equal. They would have to taxi to either
end. The prevailing wind is from the north - something like about 60-40 to the
north. Instrument landing systems would be from the north to the south. The
final modification would be to look at what could be accommodated using the
Ward Company' s in that same location. In overall capacity, this concept could
accommodate the same aircraft and others based on the other side. There is a
fuel firm on the west side of the Airport and another one would like to be in
existence. This leaves us with a recommended concept on the south side, but
leaves some objection to other possible arrangements. We would be looking at
some costs - like a lot of money. Assuming a total package is opted - look
at total acreage of a lot of 100 to approximately 102 acres - limited construc-
tion - $8 million dollars. Almost 50 percent would be the Town's share. FAA
would pay for 90 percent , the State of Virginia 5 percent, leaving the Town
with a 5 percent share. The airport is keenly interested in this project . It
would seem like a five-year time frame might be reasonable. The town might
also have to look at this as a "multi" item. Once the concept is developed,
you need to go into a funding operation. Circulation will be improved the
interchange over. You want to be sure the airport is consistent with the town.
James Feir, President of Leesburg Airport Association, introduced Sharon
Denbo and David Pearce, who spoke concerning an article in the Post on October
5. Ms . Denbo cited the purposes of this association, as follows:
(1) Unifying the interests of all supporters and users of the Airport and,
through such unity, creating a voice more readily heard in all forums;
(2) Encouraging and demonstrating a sense of responsibility on the part
of the users of the airport to the community at large and to the nearby neigh-
bors;
(3) Establishing and maintaining good relations with the town through ac-
tivities conducted by the membership to promote the airport and the Town and
demonstrating through communications, reports and reviews by the media, that
their association and the airport are valuable resources to the Town and the
County.
(4) Furthering the cause of aviation in general, as well as locally, through
participation of the membership in addressing problems of flight safety and
issues associated with proposed regulations and pending legislation.
Specifically, with reference to the noise, assessment has been made and noise
would not be a serious problem. There is a technicality with "assessment" and
"study".
David Pearce said he works at the airport to monitor the safety and to do
the monthly report on incidents and accidents. They keep a close monitor on
activities. Leesburg is known as one of the safest airports in the United
States due to its outstanding control and supervision of pilots. Most of

the little guys park on the large ramps and a lot of them on the south end of
the field. There is a renter's arrangement where the hangars, etc. are owned
by the town. They turn in $49,500 each year to the Town, for which substantially
nothing is used on the south end. This has given the town $495,000 for a lot of
these improvements they made. At Montgomery Airport , it will save waiting on the
list for ten years to get a hangar. At Manassas, the same is true. Unfor-
tunately, this plan cuts out the ability of this airport to build these. Another
problem is with the automatic weather observation stations - Montgomery County, Ma-
i nassas, Winchester and Leesburg all have them. They have excellent products and
turn out excellent pilots . He would recommend they take a long look at that and
see if they can make a compromise. We should go back to FAA for realignment of
our runway for allowing AWOS to cross their patterns. He recommends that Council
pass some reservations on the part of this plan and demand their hands on whatever
land they can - we need this. He has worked as Chief Operator for all the FBO' s
and wants to see the airport bring in some money. Three hundred aircraft would
mean 300 of everything.
Bill Neville of Patton, Harris, Rust and Associates, spoke on behalf of the
Alan I.Kay Company, who own 981 acres west of the airport and are -most di- _
rectly affected by the land for expansion of the airport at the western end. They
are interested in working with the town and want to recognize all that has been
done regarding the toll road. They are generally supportive of this Master Plan.
They have prepared, on a slightly larger scale where he has plotted information
from AT&T. He requested that staff and Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendoff
review this and comment on it . He has someone that might be a business for the
airport - it is the best they have looked at. Mr. Minor will look at this .
Robert Dubeck, Washington Area Manager for Reynolds Metal Company, exhibited
a conceptual master plan(architectural) for the development of the property.
This is zoned PDIP, Special Exception, to allow 50 percent of his buildings .
He has a basic conceptual plan for a particular two-thirds of his facilities.
Mr. Minor said they will look at this. He (Mr. Dubeck) also has flex and indus-
trial buildings on a plan they have developed at Chantilly. On the Master Plan,
he questioned the assumption of the second land cost and what the recorded price was
(the net amount for the lots) in percentage per square foot . This should be looked
at. The plan calls for an extension with instrument landing system. The grade cost
would be extended to 500 feet, with a one to seven ratio - this would take them
out to 640 for a future three buildings along this road; then out to the area west
of Miller Drive, which would be undeveloped. He believed these are issues fairly
important to them and believelthey are important to economic development in the
airport area. If there is any binding decision as to their interest or the prop-
erty, they would be heard and present evidence in common and appropriate form.
Mayor Sevila congratulated Mr. Haynes on the general Airport Master Plan.and
said a lot of hard work has gone into this, with input from a lot of people. The
firm of Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendoff has done a great job and, since these
plans are not cast in stone, they think it is a great plan for the future. He sup-
ports it from the area of management. He would like to make sure they understand
that the approaches to the runway exist today both from the north and south. The
AWOS is a precision instrument to approach available today - he believed it should
be in a special project . There are significant differences on the west side and
the east side of the airport. fie believed we should all be proud that the Airport
was really the catalyst in making all these things possible. He thanked the
speakers and the members of the Airport Commission.
Mr. Lovin presented a statement by Templar Titus - he commended the Town and
Janelle Aviation. He had some concerns with the updated Master Plan that relate
to noise abatement and police protection relating only to the Airport and to air-
craft. The Airport was in full operation in connection with that one incident .
Noise abatement should be everyone' s concern. There should be a noise abatement
policy, but whose responsibility would it be? These regulations are badly ignored
over the week-ends. The Airport serves less than ten percent of the population,
but all the money spent in airport development is tax dollars. He hoped the Air-
port Commission will seriously consider his thoughts and beliefs.
Mayor Sevila announced that the record will be kept open for a period of ten
days for additional written comments .
On motion of Mr. Tolbert, seconded by Mr. Clem, Council voted unanimously
to send this matter to the proper committee:
Aye: Councilmembers Clem, Forester, Kimball, Lovin, Mulokey, Tolbert and
Mayor Sevila.
Nay: None.
pee
MINUTES OF OCTOBER 10, 1989.
COUNCILlFMBER CONIMNTS:
Mr. Mulokey alerted citizens to the local origination program on Cable TV.
Multivision has indicated they will be working extensively with Mrs. Farmer and
the Cable Commission to improve local oriented programming. It has moved from
Channel 14 to Channel 37. Channel 15 will now be dedicated completely to Lees-
burg Government. You will be able to see every day' s agendas and see Council
meetings on 15 and all local origination on 37. This brings out the success of
our local government process . Re extending bond for development of Anne Street,
there is a movement of citizens that this need not be changed, but be paved before
winter comes. They have been alerted to the fact that the road has been paved.
Mr. Lovin congratulated Mr. Haynes; he enjoyed the coverage of the± - --
Veteran' s Center at the Airport . He has driven past it and saw the Falcon 50,
or the Rolls Royce of aircraft . Also, two organizations at the high school -
the Key and Keyette Clubs, re the bike-a-thon to go to Dodona Manor. They
raised in excess of $2400 to donate to Dodona Manor by riding their bicycles
from here to Sterling. The Key Club also has a phone-o-thon in the near future
to go toward Dodona Manor.
Mr. Clem said Mr. Tolbert , Mr. Mulokey and he were able to attend the cere-
monies at the Veteran' s Center on April 29th. It was quite an operation. He
thanked the citizens of Leesburg for attending the Fire Company' s Open House.
A special note to the Police Departments of the State, County and the Town.
They have some great programs going with drugs and the apprehension of people
on drugs, as well as fingerprinting of all young children and giving them an I.D.
card. The Police Department makes them and provides them to parents if a child
should come up missing. They were able to have the Medi-Vac helicopter too.
Mr. Kimball called attention to an Economic-.Developnent.-Forun fo-beTheld-in
concert with the Loudoun County Chamber. of Commerce on October 24 at the new armory.
This is the life-blood of our community and we should do whatever we can to sup-
port it.
Mrs. Forester reported that she and Mr. Tolbert held the Listening Session
on Saturday. Mrs . Malacarne and several citizens from Clagett Street were present.
All members of the Planning Commission attended a conference in Roanoke. Now
every member of the Commission is certified or will complete the course in the
spring. Mayor Sevila was present to make a presentation of the Comprehensive'
Plan. She expressed her thanks to all the Commissioners - it is an indication
of their concern and their effort to do this.
Mr. Tolbert reported that Gary Huff attended the Keep Loudoun Beautiful
meeting. He asked Mr. Huff if he will be continuing to attend. Mr. Huff said
it is debatable.
MANAGER'S REPORT:
Mr. Minor reported that staff has been working with consultants , Land and
Community Associates, of Charlottesville to develop a Design Manual. They are
doing this for an area that is not part of the historic area. It is a greater
challenge than they thought . They have been working in step with the consultant
and he believes they will have a very good product for the Council. While the
H-2 District did not receive the popularity, the Commissioner of Zoning Districts did,
there was a fairly articulate group of people expressing some concerns about it.
Prior to the first November committee meeting, they will have a meeting with the
citizens and give them the document a week in advance and share ideas from their
Council and try to incorporate as many of their suggestions and concerns as they
might have. They expect this H-2 design manual and revised ordinance to be on
their desks the first meeting in December.
Mr. Minor distributed some comments made by Peter Stephenson at a previous
meeti.hg. The proposal so far has been that the Town would receive those funds
on an annual basis, based on population. They have used about twenty percent.
He believed initially they would have about $300,000 - that is too small an
amount to address some of the major transportation problems identified in the
CIP and Town Plan. There are some signalizations described in the list . They
won' t occur next year or the next, but will be paid for by VDOT or the development
community. This leaves the town with five or six pieties of correspondence. :here-

way through the By-Pass. We have no word of action by the Transportation Commission
at this time. This really corresponds to the successful decisions Council has made
in listing this as a very worthwhile Council project . There has been some concern
about the overpass at Sycolin Road - it is a multi-million dollar contract and
there are not sufficient funds to pay for this out of fuel dollars .
Mr. Mulokey voiced his concern that it is taking so long to pass the H-2 legis-
lation. Every day driving to work he sees new buildings going up - he hopes they will
get this legislation in place soon.
Mr. Kimball was concerned about the intersection at Sycolin Road and the By-Pass.

He understood that the County School Board has proposed something to the Town con-
cerning this . Mr. Minor advised that he has correspondence both from the School
Board and the County Board of Supervisors . He also has a memo from Calvin Grow con-
cerning this situation. He also advised that this information should be sent to
both bodies by way of a letter. This part of the By-Pass is not the responsibility
of the Town - it is maintained by VDOT. The town, however, does have some responsi-
bility to try to influence some of the decisions made by VDOT. There are no funds
to do a by-pass at this time. Council may wish to do "No Left Turn"s at this time.
Signalization is a certainty there and we do have a contract with VDOT to signalize.
The By-Pass will be signalized. Mayor Sevila asked if Calvin is looking at the pos-
sibility of alteration or modification? Mr. Minor said Yes, he is. Mr. Kimball said
this particular intersection is a problem area - it is a very tricky area there.
He believed the County is right in generating traffic back to Cool Spring School.
It needs some attention now - not in the future. Mr. Minor said it was the town
that first wrote VDOT to start this immediately.
MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Sevila reported that the Citizen' s Advisory ad hoc committee concluced
its work last night. He had the opportunity, along with Carl Johnson, to serve as
a non-voting member. He commended that committee and the outstanding citizens that,
over a 12-week period , have reviewed painstakingly all the proposed amendments and
put together a fairly comprehensive report to be submitted to the committee next
week. He congratulated the committee members and thanked them for a job well done.
The idea was that he would serve as an additional liaison from April 6th to the
round table on June 24th. It was an excellent experience for all of them - he
would not be surprised if it became a regular part of the Planning Committees.
It gives people a chance to be heard. It has been a great week.
He had the opportunity to be a part of one of the programs for Planning Com-
mission seminars put on by Virginia Tech. Our Planning Commission was in full at-
tendance (he believed they were the only jurisdiction with the entire Planning
Commission there, as well as elected offocials. ) He commended them for that sacri-
fice of taking time off from work and doing that job for the Town. He felt their
work shows this. He was proud to be able to attend with them.
Concerning Parks and Recreation - He had the opportunity recently to be the
guest of the Mayor of the Town of Herndon, along with three members of the Town's
staff - (Jimmy Kidwell , John Johnson and Randy Shoemaker) . The four of them man-
aged to do what they have been threatening to do - go down and take from the Mayor
the Mayor' s Cup in golf. The Chief did a great job of carrying out the order.

89-214 - RESOLUTION - MAKING A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FOR CONSULTING
LinULNLhRIf:G SERVICLS FUR PLAN RhVIhW
On motion of Mrs . Forester, seconded by hr. Tolbert, the following resolution
was proposed:
WHEREAS, William H. Gordon Associates, Inc. is currently under contract with
the Town to review construction drawings; and
WHEREAS, the appropriation for plan review services in the FY90 budget is
$150,000.00 and
UHE EAS , the actual cost for review of plans by William H. Gordon Associates,
Inc. is greater than budgeted for and the estimated cost for FY90 is $345,000.00;
and
WHEREAS, the plan review serviceswrovided by William H. Gordon Associates
are essential to the Town in order to meet statutory time limits for review:.
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia as
follows:
SECTION I. An appropriation is made from the General Fund unappropriated
balance in the amount of $195,000.00 to Account #3401.300.020. 200 for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1990.
SECTION II. The upset limit in the Contract with William H. Gordon Associates,
Inc. is increased from $200, 000.00 to $345,000.00.
Mrs. Forester believed the contract with Gordon Associates has certainly helped
the Planning Commission and is just an acknowledgment of our commitment to help
as much as they can. Mr. Minor said that in the committee packet last week there
were several graphics that depicted some of the trend. While the number of appli-
cations is ,of- concern,the time to review is going down dramatically. About ten
months ago, we were at/five to six months between reviews - we are now at 50 to
60 days between. Also, the number of construction drawings approved each month
is three to four, where before it was around one per month. All of this points
to the fact that we are now beginning to realize benefits through this contract.
It is a combination of this contract and our Engineering Department. The trend
was beginning to go down before the contract with Gordon was implemented. She
believed we are optimistic about it going down. We are trying to reduce a backlog
and it has been reduced. This is additional expense. We will have to implement
some procedures that allow us to wean ourselves from the consultants in the next
fiscal year so that we are back to doing the bulk of this work "in house." Mr.
Mulokey felt the other benefit we are getting for our money is improved'adherence
to our standards and improved structures and development . We are helping our
developers and citizens to live in a better town. Mr. Minor felt everyone is
satisfied within the last five years that we have performed the most complete
reviews of any jurisdiction. We are now in a position that we are one of the
faster of the jurisdictions as to how long it takes to review and get complete
comments on a plan. The resolution was unanimously adopted:
Aye: Councilmembers Clem, Forester, Kimball, Lovin, Mulokey, Tolbert
and Mayor Sevila.
Nay: None.

MINUTES OF OCTOBER 10, 1989 MEETING.
89-215 - RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING PUBLICATION OF NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON
VACATION OF BOUNDARY LINES ON LOTS 1-4, BLOCK G, FAIRVIEW
SUBDIVISION.
On motion of Mrs . Forester, seconded by Mr. Mulokey, the following resolution
was proposed:
WHEREAS, the recorded subdivision plat of Fairview Subdivision, Block G,
as recorded in the land records of Loudoun County, shows three boundary
lines separating lots 1-4; and
WHEREAS, these lots do not meet various requirements of the Leesburg
Zoning Ordinance and are classified as non-conforming; and
WHEREAS, the owner of these lots desires that the three boundary lines
separating lots 1-4 be vacated to create a single lot that conforms with
the Leesburg Zoning Ordinance:
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia
as follows:
A notice of public hearing to consider the vacation of boundary lines on
lots 1-4, Block G, Fairview Subdivision, as provided for in Section 15. 1-482
of the State Code, as amended, shall be published in the Loudoun Times-
Mirror on October 26, 1989 and November 2, 1989 for public hearing on No-
vember 14, 1989 at 7 :30 p.m. in the Council Chambers , 10 Loudoun Street,
S.W. , Leesburg, Virginia.
Mr. Clem asked what the time table is on this hearing? Mr. Minor explained that
it can be approved the night of the hearing - it doesn' t affect the timing or
approval of this subdivision at all . The time it would take to submit a new
subdivision, along with review time and approval of Planning Commission, etc. ,
would be a minimum of four months. That process has to go forward. We have
already told the applicant we will use the application that has lot lines that
respond to proposed revised lots . In the past, we have carefully allowed ad-
ministrative policy to align adjustments signed by the Zoning Administrator and
II/
the land development official. Our Subdivision Ordinance and Deputy Town At-
torney' s mind believes that we are better off if it is not precise enough in
contracts where we are citing boundary lines. Here we are totally revising
a subdivision, resulting in more lots . Where there is a vacation, there is
always a requirement for a public hearing. We have forwarded these many times
before where they are mainly related to road vacations, etc. This is a pro-
cedural matter and won' t affect the applicant one way or the other.
Mr. Hicks said the opinion from legal counsel is that , when lot lines such
as these are vacated, it requires that we conduct a public hearing. We have
been furnished a copy of the ordinance tonight . He can' t administratively ap-
prove this tonight - it has to be administratively approved and duly adver-
tised for a period of two weeks. The purpose of this resolution tonight is to
set a public hearing - whether we will act on it that night is questionable
or send it to committee for comments . The important thing is that , in any
event, we can also accomplish this and, in the meantime, the Planning Commis-
sion can go ahead with approval of this subdivision. He has seen this on two
occasions - we have to follow the procedures. They think Mrs . Campbell can
submit a subdivision plat and construction drawings. They anticipate ap-
proval of the revised subdivision plat. Those reviews have to take place
regardless. Mr. Minor will meet with Mrs. Campbell at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow
morning. The resolution was unanimously adopted:
Aye: Councilmembers Clem, Forester, Kimball, Lovin, Mulokey, Tolbert and
Mayor Sevila.
Nay: None.
