Accordingly, Chairman Connolly asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to invite Lieutenant Hargus to appear before the Board to receive recognition for his heroic efforts in overcoming critical injuries, for his demonstration of personal strength and courage, for his leadership, and for his commitment to his fellow officers and his department.

46. SYNTHETIC TURF FIELD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (
Chairman Connolly noted that the Athletic Council recently worked with staff from the Department of Community and Recreation Services (DCRS) and the Park Authority to develop procedures for the new Synthetic Turf Field Development Program. This program, established through the redirection of fee revenue from the athletic services application fee, will enable sports organizations to submit proposals to match County funds up to $483,000 to install synthetic turf on selected fields.
Accordingly, Chairman Connolly moved that the Board direct the Park Authority staff to work with staff from DCRS and the Department of Management and Budget to explore opportunities to use Park Bond funds to leverage the $483,000 currently set aside for this program. A plan to make those funds available for the installation of additional turf fields should be developed and presented to the Board and the Park Authority Board. Supervisor Smyth seconded the motion.
Supervisor Smyth asked to amend the motion to include in this plan the stormwater management implications of these turf fields, and this was accepted.

In addition, in Fairfax’s ongoing quest to make County government more efficient and cost effective, Chairman Connolly said that the Board reviewed and strengthened controls over the County’s travel policy and office furniture purchases, thereby further reducing costs.
Supervisor Hyland raised the issue of the parking garage nearest the judicial center (courthouse) and asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to provide signage at the end of the street indicating “no public parking.” Following input from Mr. Griffin, without objection, it was so ordered.
With reference to the savings for the vehicle fleet, Supervisor Gross asked unanimous consent that when the Board considers retiring vehicles in the next cycle, it revisit the criteria of only mileage. She noted that some vehicles, such as a “farm truck” for

50. “CREATING A COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE” (
Chairman Connolly outlined several steps the County has undertaken to improve its pedestrian infrastructure, but noted the need for more.
Accordingly, Chairman Connolly moved that the Board direct staff from the Department of Transportation and the Department of Planning and Zoning to report with a list of recommendations to better incorporate bicycle facilities as part of the transportation infrastructure, including, but not limited to:
·
The creation of a Countywide bicycle facilities map and a cost estimate for its creation and printing.
·
The establishment, potentially, of a staff position with substantial responsibilities devoted to bicycle facility planning, implementation, and coordination.
·
The examination of roads in the County that may accommodate on-road bike lanes without substantial construction.
·
The creation of a pilot program in a specific area of the County for the establishment of an interconnected bicycling network.
Chairman Connolly added that in making its recommendations, staff is asked to note the State’s role, through the Virginia Department of Transportation, in constructing and maintaining transportation facilities, and to examine possibilities for partnerships with the State and/or other entities. Vice-Chairman Bulova seconded the motion.
Following discussion regarding previous work on the subject, the question was called on the motion, which carried by unanimous vote.
Vice-Chairman Bulova returned the gavel to Chairman Connolly.

55. AGING POPULATION (
(BACs) Supervisor Kauffman said that baby boomers will start turning 65 in 2011. Today the County is home to more than 80,000 seniors, but by 2020, their numbers will have swelled to about 139,000.
Supervisor Kauffman said that in response to the Board's request, staff presented its initial findings in Anticipating the Future, which outlines both the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly increasing senior population. He noted that this demographic shift has serious socioeconomic implications for the County.
To prepare the Board and staff to respond to coming challenges and opportunities of the growing senior population, Supervisor Kauffman asked unanimous consent that the Board work with the County Executive to create a new, standing Committee of the Whole to focus on creating and maintaining an aging-friendly County. He outlined some pros and cons of a booming senior population as well as some research on the subject.
Supervisor Kauffman said that in a County which still overwhelming favors a suburban land use approach, there are questions as to how seniors who may no longer be able to drive safely get to their medical appointments, the supermarket, libraries, recreation, and other important elements of daily life. Other questions he raised include:
·
How does the County work with aging populations who find themselves isolated because of language and culture?
·
How does the Board allocate general fund resources between the need to educate the next generation-and the pressing needs of the older generation?
Acknowledging that these are difficult issues that cut across many County agencies, and authorities, boards, and commissions, Supervisor Kauffman asked unanimous consent that the Board direct the
Chairman Connolly stated that he would create a new committee, and a chairman, when he appoints Board committees in January.

56. TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) (
Jointly with Supervisor Smyth, Supervisor Kauffman said TOD is a term that is being used more frequently in the County, and for many years to come, as
However, Supervisor Kauffman said that this concept has not been taken from a working-level definition to something easily understood or quickly translatable to the average citizen. He said that TOD must be understandable and, to the extent possible, standardized and verifiable. Cumulative impacts of such projects near individual transit stations and along service corridors must also be taken into account.
Jointly with Supervisor Smyth, Supervisor Kauffman moved that the Board direct staff to provide a more refined, standardized definition or set of principles of what it takes to be a TOD in the County. These principles should provide the flexibility to deal with unique circumstances surrounding each station area. He suggested that staff could include this as a part of the ongoing Transportation Plan Review or some other means to move toward an answer soon, while allowing for public comment and refinement. Supervisor Hyland seconded the motion.
Following discussion regarding

Therefore, Supervisor Hudgins moved that the Board authorize expedited processing for Development Plan Amendment Application DPA 85-C-088-05 and Proffered Condition Amendment Application PCA 85-C-088-07 in the name of Boston Properties Limited Partnership. She expressed her hope that these applications be scheduled for public hearing before the Board on
61. FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE STATEMENT OF
Supervisor Hudgins noted the fiftieth anniversary of the statement of defiance by Ms. Rosa Parks.
62. PERMITS TASK FORCE (
Supervisor Smyth said that, on average, the County is receiving three permit applications each week for home additions that are actually newly constructed homes on existing foundations. The current guidelines of what constitutes a new home, versus an addition, do not adequately address the variety of circumstances encountered in the current building and remodeling climate. Thus, a clear definition is needed to address the discrepancy. Ideally, any such policy would be incorporated into legislation to provide enforcement with sufficient leverage to achieve compliance. In addition, policies need to be established that will ensure proper safety inspections, code compliance requirements, and overcome code enforcement challenges. Present trends indicate an increased number of similar applications each week due to the lack of land availability, economic conditions, and the rising cost for new homes.
Therefore, Supervisor Smyth asked unanimous consent that the Board:
·
Establish a cross agency task force to clarify the above mentioned definition, determine inspection and code compliance needs, including when residential use permits are required; and identify which agency/branch will be responsible for issuing these types of permits.
·
Direct staff to lead and guide the task force process and include the agencies and organizations that are deemed appropriate to this process.
·
Direct the Permits Task Force to provide the Board with a written report of the issues that were identified and resultant recommendations within one year from the date of approval of this Board.
Without objection, it was so ordered.
Supervisor Gross asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to determine how this request will impact the work plan of staff and if there are any budgetary implications for the Fiscal Year 2007 budget. Without objection, it was so ordered.

The parcel associated with this rezoning application went through the recent North County APR Cycle. The pending rezoning application was submitted pursuant to the approved comprehensive plan changes and is scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission on
Therefore, Supervisor Smyth moved that the Board direct staff to accept for expedited and concurrent processing the site plans and other related plans associated with Rezoning Application RZ 2005-PR-020. 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 application in any way. Supervisor Bulova seconded the motion and it carried by unanimous vote.
65. MERRIFIELD MIXED USE LLC –
Supervisor Smyth said that Merrifield Mixed Use LLC is preparing to file a rezoning application for its proposed development of a portion of the
Therefore, Supervisor Smyth moved that the Board direct staff to include a total of approximately 12,646 square feet right-of-way adjacent to Tax Map Parcels 49‑3 ((l))-80A and 80B, in the Merrifield Mixed Use LLC rezoning application. 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 anyway. Chairman Connolly seconded the motion and it carried by unanimous vote.
66. "BY RIGHT” DEVELOPMENT (
Supervisor Smyth referred to a situation regarding the “by right” development of a house being built. She said that the plans approved by the County were modified without notifying the County. She noted that staff informed her that it was very difficult, if not impossible, to check on the height of a structure and that there are no standards for taking measurements around the foundations to get the calculations for the average grade plane.
Therefore, Supervisor Smyth asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to review the situation and report its findings. Without objection, it was so ordered.

71. WILDWOOD COMMUNITY – VACATION OF A PORTION OF
Supervisor Hyland referred to his written Board Matter and moved that the Board authorize incorporating the vacation of that portion of Wildwood Street located north of Midway Place in the Community of Wildwood as generally identified in the rezoning application filed in the name of Calvert Homes located on Tax Map 107‑2-((2)). Approval of this motion would in no way prejudice the substantive review of the rezoning application. Supervisor Bulova seconded the motion and it carried by unanimous vote.
Supervisor Frey said that during the 2004 North County Area Plans Review (APR) process, APR 04-III-7BR was submitted for Tax Map parcels 54-4 ((2)) 2‑7, 8A, 9A, 10-14, and 49-57. This nomination requested consideration of a density of 5-8 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). APR Item 04-III-7BR was deferred indefinitely by the Planning Commission on
As a result of the Centreville Historic District analysis, significant Civil War earthworks have been identified on parcels within and adjacent to the area of APR Item 04-III-7BR. To provide an opportunity to fully consider these earthworks in the evaluation of the potential Plan change, Supervisor Frey moved that the area nominated by APR 04-III-7BR be expanded to include Parcel 54-4((4)) 4.
Accordingly, Supervisor Frey moved that an Out-of-Turn Plan Amendment be authorized for this larger area which will now encompass Tax Map Parcels 54-4 ((2)) 2-7, 8A, 9A, 10-14, 49-57 and 54-4 ((4)) 4. Staff is directed to consider residential use up to 3 du/ac with provisions that address the preservation of these Civil War earthworks. Chairman Connolly seconded the motion and it carried by unanimous vote.
73. DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (DEIS) FOR THE
Jointly with Chairman Connolly, Supervisor Frey said that on September 26, the Board endorsed comments regarding the DEIS for the Manassas National Battlefield Bypass. The essence of the comments was the need for additional information, particularly concerning the preferred alternative D as it had been modified.
Since that time, Supervisor Frey convened a meeting with staff from the Fairfax County Department of Transportation, the Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA), the Federal Highway Administration (FHA) and the National Park Service to further clarify the issues of concern. The two major issues were the impacts on recently acquired County parkland and the Battlefield Bypass' compatibility with the
At its November 15 meeting, the Commonwealth Transportation Board endorsed the West Two alignment for the
Supervisor Frey said that this is a unique opportunity to further two goals which are often at odds with each other - historic preservation and protection of parkland, and transportation improvements. Removing Route 29 from the middle of the national battlefield park not only will ensure that it remains the treasure that it is, but also represents the only way Route 29 will ever be widened to alleviate the tremendous bottleneck that occurs every day.
Therefore, jointly with Chairman Connolly, Supervisor Frey moved that the Board endorse Alternative D modified for the Manassas National Battlefield Bypass, and direct the Chairman to sign the letter on behalf of the Board. This alternative has FHA support, the support of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, and the Fairfax County Park Authority. This support is based on the commitments that have been made by the FHA and the National Park Service to continue to work with County and FCPA staff through the final design process to minimize any potential negative impacts. Chairman Connolly seconded the motion and it carried by unanimous vote.
74. RECESS/CLOSED SESSION (
Supervisor Gross moved that the Board recess and go into closed session for discussion and consideration of matters enumerated in Virginia Code Section (§) 2.2‑3711 and listed in the agenda for this meeting as follows:
