Public Hearings:
6.(a) Joint Public Hearing - Rezoning Application #ZM-116 Stratford in Leesbur~
Planning Commission Chairman Mervin Jackson indicated that there was quorum.
Ms. Imhoff addressed the Council presenting a brief staff report. She said that this application
has been properly advertised and is a request for a proffer and plan amendment, It represents 4~7
acres, Planned Employment Center and Planned Residential Community districts. The request for an
amendment ~me about for two reasons. One, there was an increase, since 1988, in the airport dear
zone. It went from 18.5 acres to 54.1 acres. Secondly, this property has been one of the properties
considered for the Loudoun County government complex which has also impacted where the land uses
are located internally. Ms. Imhoff briefly reviewed the amended proffers.
Ms. April Young, Senior Vice President of NVR Development, addressed the Council. She
briefly reviewed the new design. A report is expected back from the National Wetlands Inventory - we
will deal with whatever issues arise. The transportation study indicates traffic will be well above the
levels of service. There were only minor changes to the proffers. Building heights did not conflict
with the FAA. Planning Commissioner Vaughan asked what the purpose for increasing the lake was.
Ms. Young said that the project needed some additional character. Mr. Vaughan asked if there would
be any impact on the townhouses located near Sycolin Road. Ms. Young answered no. Mr. Kimball
asked what the anticipated residential population would be. Ms. Young said approximately 2,600-3,500.
Mr. Kimball asked why the church site was eliminated. Ms. Young said that they basically ran out of
Minutes of June 13, 1990
space - it was hard to give up 35 acres for the airport clear zone.
At approximately 8:20 p.m., Officer Doug Hickman told Mr. Minor that there has ~een un
apparent bomb threat. Mr. Minor asked everyone to evacuate the building. Mayor Sevila announced
that the meeting would continue in the parking lot. The public hearing then continued.
Mr. Templar Titus addressed the Council and asked if the Council was aware of the condition
of Route 621 as it is now. Mayor Sevila said that a traffic study of that area is underway.
Planning Commissioner Williams asked how many residents were proposed on the west side
of the Toll Road. Ms. Young said 600.
Mr. Mike Breal, representing the Bellewood Commons Condominiums, asked if a copy of the
transportation study could be made available to the public. Mayor Sevila said yes. Ms. Young said the
plan proposes a better interchange. Mr. Breal asked how many of the units would be multi-family and
rental. Ms. Young said about half and half.
The public hearing was closed. Mayor Sevila said the Council will receive public comment in
writing for a period of ten days. On motion of Mr. Tolbert~ seconded by Mrs. Forester, this matter was
referred to the Planning Commission to be referred back to the Planning and Zoning Committee after

Nay: None
Absent: Councilmember Lovin
6. (b) Joint Public Hearing - Nonconforming lots of record
Planning Commission chairman Mervin Jackson indicated that there was quorum.
Mr. Minor briefed the Council on the matter and noted that legislation was proposed following
the public hearing. He explained what the proposed ordinance would do and said that this matter has
brought about much citizen and Council concern. The text modification will eliminate the ability to
reduce side yards on undeveloped nonconforming lots of record to 10% of the lot width or five feet~
whichever is greater. Instead side yards will be required to meet the applicable zoning district
standards. This will ensure that the BZA must consider any reduction of side yards below the required
side yard on nonconforming lots.
Mr. Terry Titus said that it was difficult to believe that legal counsel would advise this. Mr.
Minor said that sideyards create hardships - and with this the BZA can act appropriately. In most
instances this will not be a problem.
Mr. Eric Snyder, of the Land Services Group Limited, said that this does create hardship on
the owners of the 25 foot lots and asked if this would be consistent with other applications. Mayor
Sevila said it would be a case-by-case basis. Mr. Snyder asked why couldn't the Planning Commission
make the decision. The Town of Leesburg wants affordable housing but now the town is taking this
mechanism away. Don't make the individuals go through the BZA. Mr. Snyder then questioned the
legality of this matter.
Ms. Katherine Campbell, owner of several lots on Wilson Avenue, addressed the Council saying
that the Town of Leesburg has changed the side yard requirements five times. She would like to know
what she can do with her lots or if she sells them what can she tell the buyer. She strongly objects
to this proposal.
Mr. Greg Marsh, addressed the Council, stating that he has just purchased one of the 25 foot
lots and to go through the BZA would cost too much. It is not illegal to build a nice home.
The public hearing was closed. Mayor Sevila said the Council will receive public comment in
writing for a period of ten days. Planning Commissioner Jackson said due to the public input at this
hearing he requested that this matter go back to the Planning Commission. On motion of Mr. Clem,
seconded by Mr. Tolbert, this matter was referred to the Planning Commission.

6. (c) Public Hearing - Rezoning Application #ZM-82 by DelashmuttfEngle
Mr. Imhoff reviewed the staff report.
Mayor Sevila questioned the proffers that preserve the present slopes and asked what could be
done on 25% or greater slopes. Ms. Imhoff said building construction, some grading and filling. The
applicant has provided a tree preservation plan that will mean something. The Mayor questioned
buffering and noted that it was recommended but has not yet been addressed. Ms. Imhoff said that
the applicant is proffering to have more than a 20 foot setback. Mayor Sevila asked if the proffers were
contingent on PDCH. Ms. Imhoff said O-1. The Mayor referred to proffer number 4 and expressed
Minutes of June 15, 1990
some concern with it being a conditional proffer. He asked if this language could be removed. Mr.
Marc Weiss, representing the applicant, believed it could but requested additional time to review it.
The public hearing was closed. Mayor Sevila said the Council will receive public comment in
writing for a period of ten days. On motion of Mrs. Forester, seconded by Mr. Clem, this matter was
referred to the Planning and Zoning Committee of July 5, 1990.

Ms. Imhoff reviewed the s~ff report and noted that this was the first special exception
application since the adoption of the new Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission approved this
application and staff has received no negative comments.
Mrs. Seccombe, the applicant addressed the Council, showing the plan that was drawn up by
Calloway Jones.
Mr. Clem said it was a good idea. The Mayor asked if the lot could be subdivided some time
in the future. Ms. Imhoff said yes.
Planning Commissioner Fred Williams said that he lives in the neighborhood and expressed his
support of this request.
The public hearing was dosed. On fnotion of Mr. Clem, seconded by Mrs. Forester, this matter
