Stormwater Regulations Could Significantly Affect Property
Rights
October 2010 - We all value our physical environment, and value efforts
to clean up our waterways, including the Chesapeake Bay. We also value
our homes, our private property, and the jobs and benefits that accompany
economic development in the County. Balancing economic development,
private property rights and environmental protection is not easy. Fairfax
County does a pretty good job of it, but recent regulations promulgated
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency may disrupt that
balance.
Pedestrian Bridge at Long Branch under Construction, Expected to be
Completed by Early October
August 2010 - Fairfax County is about to replace a 330 foot pedestrian
bridge across the Long Branch stream valley at Pickett Road. The new
bridge will be of fiberglass construction, costing a fraction of a
similar bridge made of steel. It is only the second of its kind to be
used in the county.
Board of Supervisors Pass New Rules on Tysons, but Questions
Remain
July 2010 - During its regularly scheduled June 22nd meeting, the Board
of Supervisors approved a significant Comprehensive Plan Amendment
designed to spur the redevelopment of Tysons Corner. I voted for the
plan, and while I am an optimist, I expressed my significant concern that
it was too cautious and timid, and did not support the broad economic
development objectives of the Tysons Task Force.
Braddock District Land Use Updates
July 2010 - In early June, Fairfax County Public Schools filed a 2232
Application with Fairfax County to construct a bus parking lot on a 1.70

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.

Input Needed on Potential Commercial Parking Limits
July 2009 - I would appreciate your input on a proposal that will soon
come before the Board that would prohibit certain vehicles from parking
on residential streets in the County. Currently, exceptionally
large vehicles like tractor-trailers and dump trucks are prohibited from
parking on residential streets. Recently-passed state legislation allows
counties to broaden the restrictions placed on certain types of
vehicles.

Help Me Clean up Foreclosures
June 2009 - You are familiar with the problem. A bank or financial
institution takes over a property through foreclosure, or maybe the
occupant abandons the property. In any event, the bank is now the
owner. But, it doesn’t want to spend its money maintaining the
property.
