TextBraddock District Land Use Updates
In early June, Fairfax County Public Schools filed a 2232 Application
with Fairfax County to construct a bus parking lot on a 1.70 acre parcel
at the corner of Pickett Road and Little River Turnpike adjacent to
Woodson High School. According to the application, which has not
yet been formally accepted by the County, the lot would house vehicles
that serve existing schools in the area and are currently parked on a
site owned by Fairfax City. The Planning Commission will hold a public
hearing on this application on October 28, 2010. The Planning Commission
will make their final decision on this application after the
hearing.
On June 15, Supervisor Cook hosted a community meeting to discuss a
proposal by Christopher Land LLC to place 10 homes on the 3.4 acre parcel
known as Bryce Estates on Burke Lake Road at its intersection with
Shiplett Boulevard. Residents raised concerns about current
transportation problems in this area, and asked the applicant to work on
possible improvements. Issues of buffering adjacent homes and the
intensity of the project were also raised. The Planning Commission will
hold a public hearing on this project on September 30 at 8:00 p.m. A
formal staff report will be published on September 15 and copies will be
available in the Braddock District office for review.
As was reported in last month’s Braddock Beacon, T-Mobile and Milestone
Communications have proposed a new cell tower at Washington Irving
Middle School on Old Keene Mill Road. Although the applicant flew a
balloon at the proposed height of 115 feet in June, they have been
requested to repeat that effort on July 10 between 8 a.m. and 11
a.m. Citizens who wish to view the location and height of this pole
are invited to be present.
The Braddock Office has recently been notified that ATT Wireless has
proposed that the Park Authority allow an application to be filed with
the County to switch out an existing 50 foot light pole at Howery Field
off Braddock Road and replace it with a new light that would hold a 30
foot extension for a cell tower. Before that application can go forward,
it must be considered internally by the Park Authority Board.
Site Plans are being actively pursued by the 7-Eleven Corporation to
construct a new store on Rolling Road at Traford Lane (24637-SP-001-3)
and by Medical Facilities of America to complete a 34,000 square foot
addition to the Burke Health and Rehabililitation Center on Burke Centre
Parkway (25011-SP-001-2). Both applications are being evaluated by the
county staff and are available in this office for review.
