IN
LOUDOUN COUNTY, VIRGINIA
PRESENTED May 10, 1978
78-75 ADOPTED May 19~, 1978
OPPOSING A VARIANCE TO MADISON HOUSE FOR PRIVATE
WATER FACILITIES
RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg, Virginia,
as follows:
The Town Council for the Town of Leesburg does hereby oppose
the granting to Madison House Associates by the Leesburg Board of
Zoning Appeals of a variance for private water facilities on a
parcel of land containing 5 acres on the south side of Monroe
Street and, as grounds for such opposition, sets forth the fol-
lowing:
(1) There is nothing exceptional or peculiar about this
property not shared by all other unimproved parcels of land in
the Town of Leesburg.
(2) The granting of such variance would be contrary to the
public interest, and be a substantial detriment to the public good,
because it would deprive the Town of much needed revenue for opera-
tion of the water and sewer system.
(3) The Town Council, in adopting the existing Zoning Ordi-
nance, and in particular Section 4-B-1-3, imposed a requirement
that a multi-family dwelling located in a R-4 District must be
served by town sanitary sewers and town water facilities; there-
fore, the granting of the requested variance would fail to observe
-2-
the spirit of the Zoning Ordinance as now in force and would, in
effect, be an amendment to Section 4-B-1-3 of the Zoning Ordi-
nance, setting a dangerous precedent for all future multi-family
developments in Leesburg.
PASSED this 10th day of May , 1978.
