Telecommunications Tower Proposed at Washington Irving Middle School, Balloon Flying Scheduled
T-Mobile Northeast and Milestone Communications have submitted an
application to Fairfax County to construct a 115 foot “monopine” (a
monopole disguised as an evergreen tree) at the rear of Washington Irving
Middle School in the vicinity of the existing baseball diamonds.
A copy of this application has been provided to the office. Although the
school is located in the Springfield Magisterial District, any impact
would be largely on Braddock District neighborhoods. Any resident
affected by this proposal who would like an electronic copy of the
application, or would like to comment on this application can e-mail
Braddock@fairfaxcounty.gov
The applicant will fly a balloon on the school grounds at this location
at the proposed height on Saturday, June12 between 8 a.m. and noon, with
a rain date of June 19. Residents can use the balloon to envision the
height and location of the pole. The Planning Commission will hold a
public hearing on this proposal on September 23.
Planning Commissioner Suzanne Harsel and Supervisor Cook look forward to
hearing from you. David Marshall from the Department of Planning and
Zoning is the staff coordinator for this project, and is available to
respond to your questions at 703-324-1261 or by e-mail at
David.Marshall@fairfaxcounty.gov.
Community Information Meeting for Proposed Bryce Estates Rezoning
Christopher Land, LLC has submitted an application (RZ-2010-BR-003) to
Fairfax County to develop a 3.4 acre parcel on the west side of Burke
Lake Road about 1,800 feet north of Burke Center Parkway. The property is
currently developed with one home, and the applicant proposes to put 10
single family detached residences on the site which is currently planned
for 2-3 homes per acre. Access to the parcel will be through a signalized
entrance that would line up with the existing signal at Shiplett
Boulevard.
Supervisor Cook invites interested residents of the area to a community
meeting, which will be held on June 15, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. in Braddock
Hall at 9002 Burke Lake Road. Prior to that time, this application can be
reviewed in the Braddock office. The purpose of this meeting is to give
neighbors an opportunity to meet with the applicant, ask questions, make
comments and raise any concerns that they may have.
A Planning Commission Public Hearing on this application has been
scheduled for October 6, 2010. A Board of Supervisor’s hearing will be
set following the Commission’s recommendation.
