Supervisor Bulova
said that during its deliberations on the FY 2005 Budget, the Board adopted

at Carryover, or as part of the Third Quarter Review, and not required for
the Revenue Stabilization Fund or for critical County expenditures, be considered
for one time requirements, including the creation of a replacement reserve
for school buses and computers. The concept of the reserve was based on Board
discussions with the School Board regarding the School Division's long-term
unfunded needs.
Supervisor Bulova said that the FY 2004 Carryover Review includes a recommended reserve of $5 million for school computers and buses. She moved that the Board:
·

16. A-2 – LOCATION
STUDY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE WIDENING OF THE CAPITAL BELTWAY
(I‑495) FROM THE
Supervisor McConnell moved that the Board concur
in the recommendation of staff and approve the draft letter from Chairman
Connolly to Secretary of Transportation Whittington Clement transmitting the
comments and recommendations to the Virginia Department of Transportation
(VDOT) regarding the Location Study and Environmental Impact Statement for
the widening of the Capital Beltway (I-495) from the American Legion Bridge
to the Springfield Interchange, as follows:
·
Access to and from the High Occupancy
Vehicles (HOV) (10-lane alternative) or High Occupancy Toll (HOT) (12-lane
alternative) lanes into the Tysons Corner area is important to encourage the
use of HOV and accommodate improved transit service to the area.
An access from the Beltway to
·
Intermediate access points between
the general purpose lanes and the HOV or HOT lanes should be considered to
provide more opportunity for their use. Operational issues need to be considered to
ensure safety, but by only constructing ramps from the general purpose lanes
to the HOV or HOT lanes some of these concerns might be reduced while still
providing increased access.
·
To make the HOV or HOT lanes part
of a regional network, direct connections to the I-95/I-395 HOV facility need
to be included through the construction of Phase VII of the Springfield Interchange.
·
Continued coordination with the State
of
·
The need to provide adequate sound
walls is essential to any improvement to the Capital Beltway.
·
Connections to I-66 outside the Beltway
need to be compatible with future improvements to I-66 now under study as
part of the I‑66 Multimodal Transportation and Environmental Study so
that adjacent properties are impacted only once. These improvements need to be coordinated with
the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's proposed redevelopment
of the Dunn Loring Station.
·
VDOT must study ways to improve pedestrian
and bicycle access across and along the Capital Beltway to minimize the effect
that it has as a barrier to these non-motorized transportation options.
Pedestrian and non-motorized transportation needs to be accommodated
at all existing crossings of the Capital Beltway and connections made to adjacent
existing and planned trails.
·
In addition to the Building Alternatives,
VDOT should study ways to improve capacity and safety on the Capital Beltway
through the development of short and mid-term projects that could realistically
be funded if the development of alternative funding for the entire project
is not possible. These projects should address critical areas
of the Capital Beltway including the segment between Route 50 (
Supervisor Bulova seconded the motion.
Supervisor Smyth asked to amend the motion to
add another bullet to read as follows:
·
Convey to VDOT that the Board is concerned
about impacts of access ramps, both from traffic and physical standpoints.
The Board urges VDOT to provide a detailed analysis of traffic impacts
during the development of this project, where these ramps connect from/to
the Beltway and the physical impacts caused by access ramps on homes and businesses. This information should be made available to
the public for review and comment during the next phase of this project.
Following discussion regarding the ramps, Supervisor
Gross moved to amend the motion to modify the fifth bullet to read as follows:
·
Adequate sound walls are essential
to any improvement to the Capital Beltway and must be provided in the widening
project.
Supervisor Kauffman seconded the
amendment to the motion.
Following discussion, with input from Douglas
S. MacTavish, Capital Projects Section, Department of Transportation (DOT),
regarding sound walls on the Capital Beltway, the question was called on the
amendment and it carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor DuBois being out of
the room.
Supervisor Kauffman asked to amend the motion
to add the following bullet:
·
Virginia Department of Rail and Public
Transit must work with VDOT to ensure that transit is an integral part of
any significant improvement to the Capital Beltway.
This was accepted.
Supervisor Smyth asked to amend the motion to
modify the first sentence of her amendment to the motion as follows:
·
Convey to VDOT that the Board is concerned
about impacts of access ramps, both from traffic and physical standpoints
in the HOT lane proposal.
This was accepted.
Discussion ensued with input from Young Ho Chang,
Director, DOT, regarding the ramps, and he stated that the HOT lanes pertain
to the Capital Beltway's Environmental Impact Statement project.
Therefore, Supervisor Smyth's modification reads
as follows:
·
Convey to VDOT that the Board is concerned
about impacts of access ramps, both from traffic and physical standpoints
in this project.
The Board urges VDOT to provide detailed analysis of traffic impacts,
during the development of this project, where these ramps connect from/to
the Beltway and the physical impacts caused by access ramps on homes and businesses.
This information should be made available to the public for review
and comment during the next phase of this project.

46. CARRYOVER BUDGET CONSIDERATION ITEM REGARDING
BURKE CENTRE
(NOTE: Earlier in the meeting, the Board proposed other consideration items for the Carryover Review Budget. See Clerk's Summary Item CL#14.)
Supervisor Bulova
said that throughout the past year, her office has been working with the Burke
Centre community on two projects. One
is to build a new library on property the County acquired at
Supervisor Bulova reported that for the structured parking (garage) project, a community task force spent several months working with her office and County staff to address issues such as design compatibility, enhanced non-motorized access to the new garage, and operational challenges during the construction phase of the garage. The last item was especially difficult. County and VRE staff grappled with how to provide alternative parking when most of the more than 400 commuters now parking at the lot will be displaced by the staging of construction equipment. No options were viable.
Supervisor Bulova said that members of the community task force suggested an innovative solution to the problem of parking during construction. They pointed out that the County will be building the new Burke Centre Library a short distance away while the VRE garage is under construction. The task force recommended examination of the feasibility of using the future library parking lot for temporary satellite parking for displaced VRE commuters.
Supervisor Bulova stated that staff visited both sites and explored the community proposal. The timing for construction of both the library and garage are very close. By building the library parking lot first and potentially delaying construction of the library building, if necessary, a commuter satellite lot could be ready by spring of 2006, in time for construction to begin on the VRE garage. By summer of 2007, the new garage, while not completely finished, would be available for construction equipment to be moved inside, freeing up sufficient parking spaces for displaced commuters to return. Construction of the library building could then commence. Staff estimated that this strategy would cost $585,000 over the cost of the basic library parking lot.
Supervisor Bulova said that if the funding were approved at the Carryover Budget Review, work could begin soon after the hoped-for approval of the Library Bond Referendum. Once plans for the garage are approved, staff would seek to recover the $585,000, since VRE garage plans, paid in large part with federal monies, would have built-in funding to address displaced parking.
Accordingly, Supervisor Bulova moved that the Board direct staff to include $585,000 as a Carryover Consideration Item for temporary parking relief measure, including construction of a temporary satellite VRE parking lot, during the construction of the Burke Centre VRE parking garage. Supervisor Kauffman seconded the motion.
Chairman Connolly noted that as with all Carryover Budget Consideration Items, there is no guarantee that it will be funded.
The question was called on the motion, which carried by unanimous vote.

51. CENTREVILLE
HISTORIC OVERLAY DISTRICT (SULLY DISTRICT) (
(BACs)
(R) Supervisor Frey said that on
Supervisor Frey said that to expand the Centreville Historic Overlay District boundaries, a number of actions must occur, including:
· The preparation of a report, as required by the Zoning Ordinance, that outlines the district's boundaries as well as the historic, architectural, archaeological or cultural significance of buildings, structures, or sites to be protected.
· A rezoning application to amend the boundaries of the historic district.
· A Comprehensive Plan amendment that reflects the changes to the historic district boundaries and evaluates the overall vision for the Historic District.
In addition to changing the district boundaries, Supervisor Frey said that consideration should also be given as to whether the existing Centreville Historic Overlay District regulations contained in the Zoning Ordinance should be amended to reflect the changed circumstances that have occurred in the Centreville area in the 18 years since the District was established. He said that it is his intention to establish a task force including property owners, affected residents, and interested citizens to provide input throughout the process. He asked that anyone who is interested in participating in this task force contact his office. He added that he hoped to have the task force established by November 1.
To implement these actions, Supervisor Frey moved that the Board direct staff to:
· Research the properties outlined on the map relative to their appropriateness for inclusion in the Historic District, prepare the written report as required by the Zoning Ordinance, and ensure that the resultant report is coordinated with all appropriate Boards, Authorities, and Commissions.
· Work with the task force to process and evaluate an out-of-turn Comprehensive Plan amendment for the map and text changes which may result from this process.
· Initiate a Board's own rezoning to adjust the boundaries of the district, if such is recommended by the report, by adopting the Resolution contained in his written Board Matter.
Supervisor Frey noted that the Board may need to amend the Comprehensive Plan to ensure that references to the Centreville Historic boundaries, in both text and maps are consistent with the action of the Board. Supervisor McConnell seconded the motion.
Following discussion of the motion, the question was called on the motion and it carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor Bulova, Supervisor Frey, Supervisor Gross, Supervisor Hudgins, Supervisor Hyland, Supervisor Kauffman, Supervisor McConnell, Supervisor Smyth, and Chairman Connolly voting "AYE," Supervisor DuBois being out of the room.

Supervisor McConnell said that Gesher was hopeful that the new location of the septic field could be approved administratively. It has come to Gesher's attention that an administrative approval is not possible and a special exception amendment application will be necessary. It appears there are no planning issues associated with the proposed amendment. As Gesher is under time constraints to commence construction, a request has been submitted for expedited and concurrent processing. Given the limited scope of the special exception amendment application, it appears this is a reasonable request.
Therefore, Supervisor McConnell moved that the Board direct staff to:
· Expeditiously process Special Exception Amendment Application SEA 01-S-028 to be filed by the Gesher Jewish Day School of Northern Virginia on property identified as 4700 Shirley Gate Road, tax map reference 56-4((1))19B and 56-4((3))1.
· Accept for concurrent and simultaneous processing a site plan, architectural drawings, and any other plans or drawings as may be necessary in conjunction with Special Exception Amendment Application SEA 01-S-028.
