26. SCOOTERS AND MOPEDS (
Chairman Connolly stated that law enforcement
today is facing the problem of the proliferation of small gas-powered mini-motorcycles
known as “pocket bikes” and gas-powered scooters. Motorized scooters resemble the push scooter
of old except for the engine mounted over the back wheel. Existing codes prohibit children under 16 from
operating these on public roads, but many parents are unaware of this law.
There are children on County roadways operating these scooters in excess
of 20 miles per hour. He asserted that this is dangerous for not only
the operator, but also for pedestrians and other drivers.
Chairman Connolly said that the Police Department
is developing a brochure which will present a comprehensive review of existing
legislation so that stores selling mopeds and scooters, parents, operators,
and police officers will be aware of the laws that govern their use.
Unfortunately, the police must deal with a myriad of often confusing
and overlapping codes. He stated that the County needs legislation
that is up-to-date, clear, consistent, and easily understood by buyers, dealers,
and the police.
Accordingly, Chairman Connolly moved that the
Board refer to the Legislative Committee the need for comprehensive legislation
which would address the requirements for mopeds and motorized scooters and
that the Board direct staff to bring that legislation before the Legislative
Committee for its review and recommendation to the Board. Supervisor Kauffman seconded the motion.
Following discussion, Supervisor Hudgins asked
to amend the motion to direct staff to work with the brain injury community
on this issue, and this was accepted.
Chairman Connolly asked unanimous consent that
the Board direct staff to also review the County’s helmet law. Without objection, it was so ordered.
Following further discussion regarding scooters
for persons with disabilities, the question was called on the motion, as amended,
which carried by unanimous vote.

from local synagogues and those active in Jewish community organizations,
to appear before the Board on September 13 to receive a resolution proclaiming
September 2004 “Jewish Heritage Month” in Fairfax County and to mark this celebration

Chairman Connolly stated that the Virginia Department
of Transportation (VDOT) recently held two public meetings on June 29 and
30 to solicit the public comment on two additional proposed build alternatives

the Board direct staff to write to VDOT and advise it that the Board will
be briefed on the Beltway project at the July 19 Transportation Committee
meeting and request that the County be allowed to provide its official comments
soon after this briefing. Supervisor

32. ATHLETIC SERVICES
APPLICATION FEE (
Supervisor Hudgins noted that the athletic services
application fee was included in the County’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 Budget
to partially offset the cost of scheduling and coordinating community use
of County-owned public fields and facilities. This fee and its implementation were developed
by the Department of Community and Recreation Services (CRS), the Athletic
Council, and, in part, the athletic community.
Supervisor Hudgins said that upon adoption of
the FY 2005 Budget, the Board directed, “CRS staff to perform an evaluation
of the fee’s implementation, its subsequent impact on the various athletic
organizations and on field maintenance at the end of one year. This evaluation will include involvement from
County athletic organizations.”
Accordingly, Supervisor Hudgins asked unanimous
consent that, when making that evaluation of impact, the Board direct the
County Executive and CRS staff to take into consideration the documented contributions
made by individual sports organizations and clubs in support of County fields.
Without objection, it was so ordered.

encourage other supervisor districts to undertake similar projects, especially
to preserve the oral and visual history of the growth of the County.
Supervisor Gross acknowledged for the record
that the video contained a small mistake.
A brief discussion ensued about the launch of
a history project and capturing oral living history.

Supervisor Kauffman stated that pending Proffered
Condition Amendment Application PCA C-448-31 and Special Exception Application
SE 2004-LE-015 are applications for minor improvements and a building expansion
at the existing mini-golf/driving range facility located in Kingstowne.
Supervisor Kauffman pointed out that the applicant
requested permission to begin concurrently processing the necessary site plan.
Given the absence of any significant community or staff concerns that
cannot be resolved, he moved that the Board authorize staff to concurrently
process the site plan and other engineering approvals associated with pending
Proffered Condition Amendment Application PCA C-448-31 and Special Exception
Application SE 2004-LE-015. Approval of this motion shall in no way prejudice
or affect any ongoing staff review and should not be construed as support
for the application by the Board. This
motion, the second to which was inaudible, carried by a unanimous vote.

AND REVITALIZATION ISSUES IN THE HERITAGE/ANNANDALE AREA OF BRADDOCK DISTRICT
(
(BACs) (NOTE: Earlier in the meeting, the Board established a Coordinating
Council on Gang Prevention. See Clerk's
Summary Item CL#18.)
Supervisor Bulova stated that at the
Approximately 300 people participated in the Community Dialog on Gang
Activity and Revitalization. At the
first meeting on
In addition to the Community Dialog series, the Braddock District office
hosted a weekend "Community Engagement" exercise, which was held
Supervisor Bulova said that the Community Dialog ended on June 9 with
the adoption of a slate of five top recommendations. The
Supervisor Bulova said that detailed recommendations from the Dialog are
attached to her written Board Matter. In
short, they are:
·
Revitalize Heritage/Annandale neighborhoods
and the defunct community association structures.
·
Establish stronger school-community
partnership.
·
Coordinate communication and outreach
to the community for understanding gang activity and promoting awareness of
intervention and prevention resources.
·
Establish job/employment programs
for young people in the
·
Increase and enhance community policing/presence
in the Heritage/Annandale area.
Supervisor Bulova said that these recommendations very closely reflect
the direction the Countywide anti-gang initiative is taking. Already a number of activities, focused in the
Heritage/Annandale area, are underway as a result of the Community Dialog.
Therefore, Supervisor Bulova asked unanimous consent that the Board direct
staff to:
·
Circulate the recommendations of the
Dialog to County agencies and departments that can assist with following up
on these efforts.
·
Invite the core group of 50 "voting
members" of the Dialog to appear before the Board at the soonest appropriate
date, to be thanked for their significant investment in the community.
Without objection,
it was so ordered.
45.
(BACs) Supervisor Bulova referred to a letter from the FA-DSB regarding
emergency management.
Therefore, Supervisor Bulova asked unanimous
consent that the Board direct staff to follow up on the recommendation to
direct all County agencies and offices involved with emergency preparedness
and management, including volunteer programs, to set up town hall meetings
with persons with disabilities. These
meetings should share what current policies and plans are in place for all
aspects of emergency preparedness and management, offer a forum for individuals
with disabilities and organizations/agencies that work with them to provide
recommendations for needed revisions, and develop plans to incorporate those
recommendations. Without objection, it was so ordered.
46. IVY DEVELOPMENT LC (SULLY DISTRICT) (
Supervisor Frey referred to his written Board Matter and said that Ivy
Development LC has submitted a nomination as part of the 2004 North County
Area Plans Review (APR) Cycle for properties identified among the tax map
reference 65-1 ((1)) 15 and 16.
Supervisor Frey reviewed the history of the
property and noted that the Board is scheduled to consider the 2004 North
County Cycle Plan Nominations in June-July of 2005. In the meantime, the applicant intends to reactivate
Rezoning/Final Development Plan Application RZ/FDP 2002-SU-042 for the nominated
property this fall so that it may be evaluated to coincide with the Board's
action on the APR nominations. Given
the amount of time it has already invested in the development of the property,
the applicant has requested the ability to concurrently process subdivision
plats, site plans, architectural drawings, and other development plans as
may be necessary with Department of Public Works and Environmental Services.
Therefore, Supervisor Frey moved that the Board direct the Director of
the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services to accept for concurrent
and simultaneous processing subdivision plats, site plans, architectural drawings,
or other development plans, and any other plats or documents as may be necessary,
in conjunction with the processing of Rezoning/Final Development Plan Application
RZ/FDP 2002-SU-042 by Ivy Development LC.
This motion does not relieve the applicant from complying with all
regulations, ordinances, or adopted standards, and does not prejudice the
consideration of the rezoning applications or future abandonment/vacation
requests in any way. Supervisor McConnell seconded the motion and
it carried by unanimous vote.
47. OUT-OF-TURN
PLAN AMENDMENT S00-III-UP2 (SULLY DISTRICT) (
Supervisor Frey stated that an out-of-turn plan
amendment was authorized several years ago for land known as the Middleton
Farm. The proposed plan amendment and
a related development application were indefinitely deferred due to staff
and community issues. Rather than reactivate
this long deferred item, property owners were encouraged to submit Area Plans
Review (APR) nominations as a way to update their proposal and bring it back
for community review.
Supervisor Frey moved
that the Board rescind its authorization of Out-of-Turn Plan Amendment S00-III-UP2
so that APR items submitted for properties located south of
48. CENTREVILLE HISTORIC DISTRICT (SULLY DISTRICT) (
Supervisor Frey stated that he had been approached recently by a number
of property owners and interested citizens about protecting and enhancing
the Centreville Historic District. In
discussions with staff and members of the community, it appears that the most
effective means of accomplishing this goal may be to expand the boundaries
of the Historic District.
Therefore, Supervisor Frey moved that the Board direct staff from the
Department of Planning and Zoning to review the current boundaries of the
Centreville Historic District, as well as the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance
related to the District, to determine whether expansion and/or modifications
are appropriate at this time. He added
that he hoped the Board will be able to authorize a Board's Own Motion rezoning
application on
Supervisor Frey said that there have been three Area Plans Review (APR)
items filed which incorporate portions of the existing Centreville Historic
District and which propose slightly different visions for the area. He added that it would be appropriate to ask
the Planning Commission to pull those items from the APR process. He said that depending on the outcome of the
rezoning application and possible Zoning Ordinance amendments, amendments
to the Comprehensive Plan will be needed for consistency and clarity. He noted that at the appropriate time, he will
ask the Board to authorize an out-of-turn plan amendment for the appropriate
area.
Supervisor
Hyland seconded the motion and it carried by unanimous vote.
49. CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO THE 2004 NORTH COUNTY
APR (PROVIDENCE DISTRICT)
(
Supervisor Smyth stated that in Tysons Corner, 21 APR nominations (20
in Providence District and 1 in Hunter Mill District) have been submitted
for consideration during the 2004
The Citizen's Guide to the 2004 North County APR indicates that
the Planning Commission may defer a group of nominations if, in its opinion,
these items represent complex issues that should not be evaluated on an individual
basis.
Therefore, Supervisor Smyth moved that the Board:
·
Request the Planning Commission to
consider deferring all Tysons Corner nominations, except for any nominations
which are not linked to rail related redevelopment.
·
Direct the Department of Planning
and Zoning to outline possible schedules and parameters for a Special Study
to review the deferred Tyson Corner rail-related nominations.
Additionally, Supervisor Smyth said that it is critical that this Tysons
Corner Special Study include a transportation analysis and urban design evaluation,
which will require consultant assistance.
Therefore, Supervisor Smyth moved that Board direct staff to:
·
Include as a consideration item in
the Fiscal Year 2004 Carryover Budget Package funding to support an analysis
of transportation and urban design issues as part of the Tysons Special Study.
·
Develop the scope and estimated cost
of this consultant assistance.
Supervisor Hudgins seconded the motion and it
carried by unanimous vote.
50. BOARD POLICY
REGARDING THE CREATION OF NEW BICYCLE LANES DURING MAJOR ASPHALT MAINTENANCE
ON THE ROADWAYS (
Supervisor Smyth stated that the County does
not have a policy on creating new bicycle lanes during major asphalt maintenance
on the roadways. Rather than investigate
this matter as it relates to only one road in the Providence District, she
suggested that the Transportation Committee review the policy and procedures
associated with planning bicycle lanes and coordinate with the Virginia Department
of Transportation (VDOT) on this effort.
Therefore, Supervisor Smyth asked unanimous
consent that:
·
This matter be referred to the Transportation
Committee for review.
·
If warranted, the Department of Transportation
and the Non-motorized Transportation Committee, as well as VDOT, be involved
in this review and that the Committee report the whole of its findings to
the Board.
Without objection, it was so ordered.
51. NOISE VARIANCE PROCESS (
Supervisor Smyth stated that she was contacted by a constituent who endured
the noise associated with 6.5 hours of night work (from
the County, and, in this case, the constituent was fully supportive of
doing this work at night.
Supervisor Smyth said that in this case only four days of notice were
given to the community and to her office.
She said that as part of the noise variance being granted, staff suggests
that the contractor "limit the amount of backing up of vehicles and equipment."
Unfortunately, in this case much of the backing up noise occurred in
the early hours of the morning and kept residents from sleeping.
Supervisor Smyth noted that the process by which Supervisors' offices
participate in evaluating sections of road for night work is adequate. This motion serves only to evaluate and possibly
refine the notification process for affected residents.
Therefore, Supervisor Smyth moved that the Board direct:
·
Staff to evaluate the noise variance
process as it relates to notification of affected residents.
·
The
Without objection, it was so ordered.
52. RESOLUTION
IN SUPPORT OF GRANTING AN EXCEPTION TO THE OCCOQUAN RESERVOIR (MOUNT VERNON
DISTRICT) (
Supervisor Hyland
referred to his written Board Matter regarding the granting of an exception
to the Occoquan Reservoir Shoreline Easement Policy for an expansion of a
boathouse.
Therefore, Supervisor Hyland moved that the
Board convey its support for this exception to the Fairfax County Water Authority.
Supervisor Gross seconded the motion and it carried by unanimous vote.
53. VACATION AND
ABANDONMENT OF MHI
Supervisor Hyland stated that the motion to
authorize vacation and abandonment of MHI Huntington LLC is proposing to rezone
property located along
Therefore, Supervisor Hyland moved that the
Board authorize the inclusion of an approximate .58 acre portion of Foley
Street in a rezoning application to be filed by MHI Huntington LLC on property
identified among the Fairfax County tax map records as 83-1 ((1)) 56, 57,
62A, 62B, 63-65, 67-74, 76, 76A, 78-80, 82, 83, 85; 83-1 ((18)) 1-4; and 83-3
((1)) 95-99. This motion should not
be construed as a favorable recommendation by the Board on the proposed application
and does not relieve the applicant from compliance with the provisions of
all applicable ordinances, regulations, or adopted standards.
Supervisor McConnell seconded the motion and it carried by unanimous
vote.
54. MORTGAGES (
Supervisor Hyland referred to an article in
The Washington Post regarding a new targeted-financing
concept called "neighborhood champions" mortgages for teachers,
public safety workers, etcetera.
Supervisor Hyland asked unanimous consent that
the Board direct staff to contact Fannie Mae and request information it has
that can be distributed to appropriate individuals. Without objection, it was so ordered.
Chairman Connolly relinquished the Chair to
Vice-Chairman Bulova and asked unanimous consent that the Board direct:
