Accordingly, Chairman Hanley moved that the Board direct staff to invite Mr. Greenlief to appear before the Board to recognize his achievement as a public service advocate. Vice-Chairman Hyland seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room.
24. LETTER FROM VIRGINIA POWER COMMENDING THE STAFF OF THE DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND RESCUE (Tape 5)
Chairman Hanley called the Board's attention to a letter from Robert F. Rigsby, President and Chief Operating Officer, Virginia Power, about the exceptional work of the Department of Fire and Rescue Services in responding to the Virginia Power substation fire on April 1, 2000. Chairman Hanley commended staff for their service.
25. NATIONAL FOSTER CARE MONTH (Tape 5)
Chairman Hanley stated that May is nationally recognized as National Foster Care Month. In conjunction with federal observances, the Fairfax County Foster Care Association has requested that the County also observe May as Foster Care Month.
Accordingly, Chairman Hanley moved that the Board direct staff to invite representatives from the foster care community to appear before the Board at the May 8, 2000, meeting to receive a proclamation. Supervisor Connolly seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room.
26. DIVERSITY MONTH CELEBRATION (Tape 5)
Chairman Hanley expressed appreciation to all County employees, including members of the Diversity Choir and Anthony H. Griffin, County Executive, who helped make the Second Annual Diversity Month Celebration in the Government Center on Wednesday, April 12, 2000, a success. She also recognized the fifth and sixth grade "Franconia Singers" for their musical drama. She announced that the final event of the celebration, "A Taste of Fairfax's Diversity," will be held on Friday, April 28, 2000, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the Government Center.
Chairman Hanley expressed her appreciation to William Spencer, Director, Office of Equity Programs, and Martha Villanigro and the rest of the staff of that office for their efforts in coordinating the month long celebration.
27. MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS MONTH (Tape 5)
Chairman Hanley stated that the month of May is traditionally recognized as Motorcycle Awareness Month. In conjunction with State observances, the Olde Dominion Chapter of American Bikers Advocating Training and Education (ABATE), has requested that the County help promote motorcycle safety.
Accordingly, Chairman Hanley moved that the Board direct staff to invite representatives from the Olde Dominion Chapter of ABATE to appear before the Board at the May 8, 2000, meeting to receive a proclamation declaring May as Motorcycle Awareness Month in Fairfax County. Supervisor Connolly seconded the motion.
Following a brief discussion, the question was called on the motion, which carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room.
28. ELDERLY AND DISABLED FARE STRUCTURE DISCREPANCY FOR METRORAIL-TO-BUS TRANSFERS (Tape 5)
Chairman Hanley stated that it had come to her attention that there may be a discrepancy in the Elderly and Disabled Fare structure as it relates to Metrorail-to-bus transfers. She reminded Board Members that on March 22, 1999, the Board approved the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Association and Fairfax Connector Fare Simplification Plan. As part of this package, rail-to-bus transfers became free for eligible senior citizens and disabled riders and 25 cents to all other riders. She said that there may be some confusion about whether that applies to transfers to Connector buses. She noted that the Board advocated improved mobility of elderly and disabled citizens as evidenced by the inclusion of the Senior Transportation Initiative in the recently approved budget.
Noting that she wanted to ensure that staff understands that the intent of the Board was to make the rail-to-bus transfers free to eligible elderly and disabled riders on the Fairfax Connector service and that the fiscal impact is less than $6000 per year, Chairman Hanley moved that the Board direct staff to take the necessary action to implement this as soon as possible. Supervisor Kauffman seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room.
29. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF MERRIFIELD (Tape 5)
Chairman Hanley stated that it was her understanding that the First Baptist Church of Merrifield must file a site plan in conjunction with approved Special Permit Amendment Application SPA 87-P-073-2. The Board had previously authorized a waiver of the site plan application fee for this church, but no site plan has been submitted for approval. Because no site plan has been submitted and this represents an extension of a previous site plan application fee waiver, Chairman Hanley moved that the Board waive the fee associated with this site plan application, if permissible. Supervisor Kauffman seconded the motion.
Following input from David P. Bobzien, County Attorney, who ruled that this action was NOT permissible for religious organizations, Chairman Hanley withdrew her motion on advice of counsel and asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to research the Board's previous action regarding this item and that she would raise this issue at a future meeting if found to be permissible. Without objection, it was so ordered.
30. NATIONAL PAUSE FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE PROGRAM (Tape 5)
Chairman Hanley stated that the National Flag Foundation and the National League of Cities have requested that the Board encourage all citizens to participate in the Twenty-first Annual National Pause for the Pledge of Allegiance Program. Accordingly, she moved that the Board direct staff to issue a press release to encourage all communities in Fairfax County to Pause for the Pledge of Allegiance at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 14, 2000, and to widely disseminate the contact information for the National Flag Foundation to obtain materials for Flag Day programs. This motion, the second to which was inaudible, carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room.
31. LETTER FROM THE FAIRFAX COUNTYWIDE NON-MOTORIZED TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE (Tape 5)
(BACs) Chairman Hanley called the Board's attention to copies of a letter she had received from Mike Shannon, Chairman, Countywide Non-Motorized Transportation Committee, which discusses the role of proffers in the County regarding construction of trails and sidewalks. While the County has provided badly needed funding for trails in recent years, most trails and sidewalks are built as a result of the requirement that builders provide public improvements when a project is constructed.
Chairman Hanley said that on July 12, 1999, the Board directed staff to examine the County's methodology for establishing the amounts to be escrowed and the possibility of establishing a larger trail fund or funds. She said that the committee is concerned about changes in the way this program is currently operated.
Accordingly, Chairman Hanley asked unanimous consent that the Board direct the County Executive to respond to the issues raised in Mr. Shannon's letter. Without objection, it was so ordered.
32. LETTER FROM THE ELECTORAL BOARD REGARDING THE SALARY OF THE SECRETARY OF THE ELECTORAL BOARD (Tape 5)
Chairman Hanley called the Board's attention to copies of a letter from Diane McIntyre, Vice-Chairman, Electoral Board, regarding a request to increase the salary of the Secretary to the Electoral Board by raising the step of the incumbent. Following a clarification from Anthony H. Griffin, County Executive, Chairman Hanley moved that the Board authorize approval of the request. Supervisor Gross seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room.
33. INFORMATIONAL NOTEBOOK FROM THE PARK AUTHORITY (Tape 5)
(NOTE: Earlier in the meeting, the Board briefly mentioned this item, but deferred its discussion. See Clerks Summary Item CL#20.)
Chairman Hanley called the Board's attention to the notebook of information provided by the Park Authority. It contained details of all the properties the Park Authority is requesting that the Board transfer to the Park Authority. As part of the County's negotiations with the School Board, Chairman Hanley asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to forward this information regarding the larger parcels to the School Board for its review as a possible trade in connection with the Pine Ridge site.
Supervisor Mendelsohn asked to amend the request to direct staff not to include those parcels that are currently active playing fields, and this was accepted.
Supervisor Frey asked to amend the request to direct staff not to include parcels that are in a floodplain, and this was accepted.
Without objection, the request, as amended, was so ordered.

Supervisor Hudgins said that Geography Bees are an exciting and instructive part of social studies education. Students are thrilled when they win their classroom, school, or county geography bee. She said that Stephen Young, an eighth grader at Hughes Middle School in Reston, is representing the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Supervisor Hudgins moved that the Board recognize Stephen Young for his winning the Virginia Geography Bee and that it wish him well while competing at the national competition on May 23 and 24, 2000, at the National Geographic Society's worldwide headquarters in Washington, DC. Supervisor Hyland seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
36. REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION FOR MR. MAURICE A. SOVERN (Tape 6)
(BACs) Supervisor Hudgins said that Mr. Maurice A. Sovern served fourteen years on the Criminal Justice Advisory Board. Mr. Sovern enjoyed working with the County's Criminal Justice System and representing Hunter Mill District.
Therefore, Supervisor Hudgins moved that the Board direct staff to invite Mr. Sovern to appear before the Board to be recognized for his dedicated service to the Criminal Justice Advisory Board and Fairfax County. Supervisor Hyland seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
37. APPOINTMENT TO THE RESTON COMMUNITY CENTER (RCC) BOARD (Tape 6)
(APPT) Supervisor Hudgins said that the RCC Board of Governors requests that the Board of Supervisors approve its recommendation for the appointment of the RCC Board of Governors teen member. The RCC Board has selected Ms. Kelsey Johnson to be the teen Board member following the resignation of Mr. Brendan Ranson Walsh.
The RCC Board of Governors has chosen to deviate from the procedure of appointing candidates from the previous Preference Poll to fill vacancies. Four teens sought election with only two receiving votes. The Board of Governors thought it important to identify a committed and involved teen to fill the vacancy. Ms. Johnson is a sophomore at South Lakes High School and is actively involved with the RCC's Teen Council and teen events. She is an excellent student and involved in school events.
Supervisor Hudgins moved approval of the RCC recommendation to appoint Ms. Kelsey Johnson as the RCC Center Board of Governors teen Board member. Chairman Hanley seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
38. EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICES (Tape 6)
Supervisor Gross noted that Early Intervention Services are an important part of the Community and provide critical services for youth and their families. Fairfax County can join other jurisdictions in proclaiming May as Early Intervention Month, and provide a needed spotlight on these services and the people who can provide them.
Supervisor Gross moved that the Board proclaim May as "Early Intervention Month" in Fairfax County and invite the appropriate individuals to be recognized before the Board at the May 22, 2000, Board meeting. Supervisor Connolly seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
39. REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION FOR MR. BILL BAILEY (Tape 6)
Supervisor Gross announced that Mr. Bill Bailey is stepping down as president of the Broyhill Crest Citizens' Association after serving in that position for the past ten years. Broyhill Crest is one of the County's largest civic associations, representing 1200 homes in Mason District, and Mr. Bailey is known to this Board as president of the Fairfax County Federation of Citizens Associations.
Therefore, Supervisor Gross moved that the Board direct staff to prepare a Certificate of Appreciation to be delivered to Mr. Bailey at the Broyhill Crest Annual Meeting. Supervisor Connolly seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
40. REQUEST FOR CONCURRENT PROCESSING FOR ALD GROUP, INCORPORATED - REZONING APPLICATION 1999-PR-021 (Tape 6)
Supervisor Connolly said that ALD Group, Incorporated submitted a rezoning application for an .86 acre parcel on Blake Lane. The applicant has worked closely with County staff and the neighboring homeowners association to address a number of issues with the initial application. The applicant has successfully received a recommendation of approval from staff, the Planning Commission, and the Blakelee Homeowner's Association.
Therefore, Supervisor Connolly moved that the Board direct the Director of the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services to concurrently process the subdivision plans. This action does not prejudice the consideration of this review in any way. Chairman Hanley seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.

Supervisor Bulova moved that the Board direct staff to:
This motion does not relieve the applicant of its obligation to comply with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and other regulations not expressly waived by the Board or staff. Moreover, this motion in no way prejudices staff, Planning Commission, or Board review of the applications in any way. This motion, the second to which was inaudible, carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
43. MARKET PAY STUDY AND APPEAL PROCESS (Tape 6)

(A) Supervisor Frey stated that Landmark Property Development LLC is pursuing an application to rezone 2.95 acres from R-1 to R-3 to permit six single family detached homes. The applicant is working closely with the Virginia Department of Transportation to resolve transportation issues related to the existing road network. The Planning Commission public hearing was held on March 22, 2000, and action on the recommendation was deferred until April 26, 2000. To try to compensate for the delay, the applicant has requested the scheduling of the public hearing to be held before the Board and the authorization of concurrent processing of the zoning application and necessary engineering plans.
Accordingly, Supervisor Frey moved that the Board direct:
Supervisor Frey noted that the applicants understand that this motion will not prejudice the consideration of the application in any way.
Supervisor Bulova seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
45. CONCURRENT PROCESSING REQUEST FOR COSCAN WASHINGTON SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPLICATION SE 00-Y-018 (Tape 7)
Supervisor Frey stated that Coscan Washington, Incorporated, has submitted a Special Exception Application SE 00-Y-018 to permit a cluster subdivision on 40 lots on 201 acres located near the intersection of Pleasant Valley Road and Braddock Road in Sully District. Given the location of the property, the low density nature of the request, and the fact that the application is consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, the applicant has requested that the Board authorize concurrent processing.
Accordingly, Supervisor Frey moved that the Board direct the staff of the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services to process the site plans concurrently with the consideration of Special Exception Application SE 00-Y-018. He noted that the applicants understand that this motion will not prejudice the consideration of the applications in any way.
Supervisor Bulova seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
46. CENTREVILLLE-PICKWICK, LLC (Tape 7)
Supervisor Frey said that Centreville-Pickwick, LLC has submitted a Special Exception Amendment Application and a Generalized Development Plan Amendment for a drive-through pharmacy at Pickwick Road and Route 29 in Centreville. This site is currently approved for a pharmacy with a double-lane drive-through; however, because a new tenant is now slated for the location and because of changes in the industry, a single-lane drive-through is desired by the applicant. Unfortunately, this change and other minor modifications to the plan cannot be achieved by an administrative interpretation, and necessitate these applications.
Therefore, Supervisor Frey moved that the Board:
Supervisor Frey noted that this motion does not relieve the applicant of its obligations in any way.
Supervisor Kauffman seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
47. PARKING REGULATIONS (Tape 7)
Supervisor Kauffman stated that at the 2000 session of the General Assembly, Senator Toddy Puller and Delegate Thomas Bolvin each introduced legislation to permit the Board to adopt an ordinance that would allow communities to prohibit the parking of boat trailers, motor homes, and camping trailers on public streets. The governor signed the legislation and this new enabling authority will become effective July 1, 2000.
Noting that the parking of such vehicles in residential neighborhoods has prompted numerous complaints, Supervisor Kauffman moved that the Board direct the County Executive to return to the Board with staff recommendations on implementing a parking regulation program modeled on the existing residential permit parking district program that would allow communities to prohibit the parking of such vehicles in specifically designated residential districts. Supervisor Frey seconded the motion.
Supervisor Gross asked to amend the motion to direct staff to take the necessary steps to amend the ordinance before implementation of such a program, and this was accepted.
Supervisor Frey asked to amend the motion to direct staff to also examine the possibility of returning with a program recommendation similar to the one prohibiting the parking of commercial vehicles. Such a program would be an administrative regulation. This was accepted.
Following discussion, the question was called on the motion, as amended, which carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.

Anderson Award for Distinguished Public Service for creating the "one-stop shop" for tax collection services during staff reduction and budget cutbacks in the 1990s.
Accordingly, Chairman Hanley moved that the Board direct staff to invite Mr. Greenlief to appear before the Board to recognize his achievement as a public service advocate. Vice-Chairman Hyland seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room.

Supervisor Connolly seconded the motion.
Following a brief discussion, the question was called on the motion, which carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room.
28. ELDERLY AND DISABLED FARE STRUCTURE DISCREPANCY FOR METRORAIL-TO-BUS TRANSFERS (Tape 5)
Chairman Hanley stated that it had come to her attention that there may be a discrepancy in the Elderly and Disabled Fare structure as it relates to Metrorail-to-bus transfers. She reminded Board Members that on March 22, 1999, the Board approved the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Association and Fairfax Connector Fare Simplification Plan. As part of this package, rail-to-bus transfers became free for eligible senior citizens and disabled riders and 25 cents to all other riders. She said that there may be some confusion about whether that applies to transfers to Connector buses. She noted that the Board advocated improved mobility of elderly and disabled citizens as evidenced by the inclusion of the Senior Transportation Initiative in the recently approved budget.
Noting that she wanted to ensure that staff understands that the intent of the Board was to make the rail-to-bus transfers free to eligible elderly and disabled riders on the Fairfax Connector service and that the fiscal impact is less than $6000 per year, Chairman Hanley moved that the Board direct staff to take the necessary action to implement this as soon as possible. Supervisor Kauffman seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room.
29. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF MERRIFIELD (Tape 5)
Chairman Hanley stated that it was her understanding that the First Baptist Church of Merrifield must file a site plan in conjunction with approved Special Permit Amendment Application SPA 87-P-073-2. The Board had previously authorized a waiver of the site plan application fee for this church, but no site plan has been submitted for approval. Because no site plan has been submitted and this represents an extension of a previous site plan application fee waiver, Chairman Hanley moved that the Board waive the fee associated with this site plan application, if permissible. Supervisor Kauffman seconded the motion.
Following input from David P. Bobzien, County Attorney, who ruled that this action was NOT permissible for religious organizations, Chairman Hanley withdrew her motion on advice of counsel and asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to research the Board's previous action regarding this item and that she would raise this issue at a future meeting if found to be permissible. Without objection, it was so ordered.
30. NATIONAL PAUSE FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE PROGRAM (Tape 5)
Chairman Hanley stated that the National Flag Foundation and the National League of Cities have requested that the Board encourage all citizens to participate in the Twenty-first Annual National Pause for the Pledge of Allegiance Program.

This motion, the second to which was inaudible, carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room.
31. LETTER FROM THE FAIRFAX COUNTYWIDE NON-MOTORIZED TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE (Tape 5)
(BACs) Chairman Hanley called the Board's attention to copies of a letter she had received from Mike Shannon, Chairman, Countywide Non-Motorized Transportation Committee, which discusses the role of proffers in the County regarding construction of trails and sidewalks. While the County has provided badly needed funding for trails in recent years, most trails and sidewalks are built as a result of the requirement that builders provide public improvements when a project is constructed.
Chairman Hanley said that on July 12, 1999, the Board directed staff to examine the County's methodology for establishing the amounts to be escrowed and the possibility of establishing a larger trail fund or funds. She said that the committee is concerned about changes in the way this program is currently operated.
Accordingly, Chairman Hanley asked unanimous consent that the Board direct the County Executive to respond to the issues raised in Mr. Shannon's letter. Without objection, it was so ordered.
32. LETTER FROM THE ELECTORAL BOARD REGARDING THE SALARY OF THE SECRETARY OF THE ELECTORAL BOARD (Tape 5)
Chairman Hanley called the Board's attention to copies of a letter from Diane McIntyre, Vice-Chairman, Electoral Board, regarding a request to increase the salary of the Secretary to the Electoral Board by raising the step of the incumbent. Following a clarification from Anthony H. Griffin, County Executive, Chairman Hanley moved that the Board authorize approval of the request. Supervisor Gross seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room.
33. INFORMATIONAL NOTEBOOK FROM THE PARK AUTHORITY (Tape 5)
(NOTE: Earlier in the meeting, the Board briefly mentioned this item, but deferred its discussion. See Clerks Summary Item CL#20.)
Chairman Hanley called the Board's attention to the notebook of information provided by the Park Authority. It contained details of all the properties the Park Authority is requesting that the Board transfer to the Park Authority. As part of the County's negotiations with the School Board, Chairman Hanley asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to forward this information regarding the larger parcels to the School Board for its review as a possible trade in connection with the Pine Ridge site.
Supervisor Mendelsohn asked to amend the request to direct staff not to include those parcels that are currently active playing fields, and this was accepted.
Supervisor Frey asked to amend the request to direct staff not to include parcels that are in a floodplain, and this was accepted.
Without objection, the request, as amended, was so ordered.

Supervisor Hudgins moved that the Board recognize Stephen Young for his winning the Virginia Geography Bee and that it wish him well while competing at the national competition on May 23 and 24, 2000, at the National Geographic Society's worldwide headquarters in Washington, DC. Supervisor Hyland seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
36. REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION FOR MR. MAURICE A. SOVERN (Tape 6)
(BACs) Supervisor Hudgins said that Mr. Maurice A. Sovern served fourteen years on the Criminal Justice Advisory Board. Mr. Sovern enjoyed working with the County's Criminal Justice System and representing Hunter Mill District.
Therefore, Supervisor Hudgins moved that the Board direct staff to invite Mr. Sovern to appear before the Board to be recognized for his dedicated service to the Criminal Justice Advisory Board and Fairfax County. Supervisor Hyland seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
37. APPOINTMENT TO THE RESTON COMMUNITY CENTER (RCC) BOARD (Tape 6)
(APPT) Supervisor Hudgins said that the RCC Board of Governors requests that the Board of Supervisors approve its recommendation for the appointment of the RCC Board of Governors teen member. The RCC Board has selected Ms. Kelsey Johnson to be the teen Board member following the resignation of Mr. Brendan Ranson Walsh.
The RCC Board of Governors has chosen to deviate from the procedure of appointing candidates from the previous Preference Poll to fill vacancies. Four teens sought election with only two receiving votes. The Board of Governors thought it important to identify a committed and involved teen to fill the vacancy. Ms. Johnson is a sophomore at South Lakes High School and is actively involved with the RCC's Teen Council and teen events. She is an excellent student and involved in school events.
Supervisor Hudgins moved approval of the RCC recommendation to appoint Ms. Kelsey Johnson as the RCC Center Board of Governors teen Board member. Chairman Hanley seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
38. EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICES (Tape 6)
Supervisor Gross noted that Early Intervention Services are an important part of the Community and provide critical services for youth and their families. Fairfax County can join other jurisdictions in proclaiming May as Early Intervention Month, and provide a needed spotlight on these services and the people who can provide them.
Supervisor Gross moved that the Board proclaim May as "Early Intervention Month" in Fairfax County and invite the appropriate individuals to be recognized before the Board at the May 22, 2000, Board meeting. Supervisor Connolly seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.
39. REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION FOR MR. BILL BAILEY (Tape 6)
Supervisor Gross announced that Mr. Bill Bailey is stepping down as president of the Broyhill Crest Citizens' Association after serving in that position for the past ten years.

The applicant is working closely with the Virginia Department of Transportation to resolve transportation issues related to the existing road network.

Accordingly, Supervisor Frey moved that the Board direct:

Given the location of the property, the low density nature of the request, and the fact that the application is consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, the applicant has requested that the Board authorize concurrent processing.
Accordingly, Supervisor Frey moved that the Board direct the staff of the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services to process the site plans concurrently with the consideration of Special Exception Application SE 00-Y-018. He noted that the applicants understand that this motion will not prejudice the consideration of the applications in any way.

Unfortunately, this change and other minor modifications to the plan cannot be achieved by an administrative interpretation, and necessitate these applications.
Therefore, Supervisor Frey moved that the Board:
Supervisor Frey noted that this motion does not relieve the applicant of its obligations in any way.
Supervisor Kauffman seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.

The governor signed the legislation and this new enabling authority will become effective July 1, 2000.
Noting that the parking of such vehicles in residential neighborhoods has prompted numerous complaints, Supervisor Kauffman moved that the Board direct the County Executive to return to the Board with staff recommendations on implementing a parking regulation program modeled on the existing residential permit parking district program that would allow communities to prohibit the parking of such vehicles in specifically designated residential districts. Supervisor Frey seconded the motion.
Supervisor Gross asked to amend the motion to direct staff to take the necessary steps to amend the ordinance before implementation of such a program, and this was accepted.
Supervisor Frey asked to amend the motion to direct staff to also examine the possibility of returning with a program recommendation similar to the one prohibiting the parking of commercial vehicles. Such a program would be an administrative regulation. This was accepted.
