5. Membership Presentation Topic: As the Sully District Council membership does not meet in the summer, our next meeting is scheduled for 28 September. See the most recent minutes and agenda.
6. Land Use and Transportation Committee:
• In light of the recent amendment to the Code of Virginia, the county has provided us with a statement be to read when our land use committee meets with a prospective applicant for a rezoning or proffer condition amendment (PCA) for new residential development and/or new residential use in areas of the County that are not exempt from Virginia Code Section 15.2-2303.4. It is recommended that if our committee is meeting with more than one applicant to read this statement for each rezoning/PCA.
• All times estimates are provided as a courtesy, presentations will start after the completion of the proceeding presentation, however long it takes. Recommend that presenters be ready at least 30 minutes prior to their scheduled time.
1. 7:00 -- Dominion Power Elklick Switching Station (Case No. PUE-2016-00056)
• Proponent: Tim Sargeant, Dominion State and Local Affairs
• Action: Case No. PUE-2016-00056
• Location: existing site between Bull Run Post Office Rd and Pleasant Valley Rd, near the Richardsons house
In order to accommodate an expansion of Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative's ("NOVEC") existing Pleasant Valley Delivery Point ("DP") and to comply with mandatory NERC Reliability Standards, the Company proposes to construct four structures supporting new double-circuit 230 kV tap lines ("230 kV Tap Lines") from its existing 230 kV Bull Run-Loudoun Line #295 to a proposed new 230 kV Elklick Switching Station.
There is no local approval needed but there is a public hearing in Richmond with the St. Corporation Commission in Sept.
2. 8:00 -- Costco Gas station (PCA 95-Y-016-06/SEA 95-Y-024-06)
• Proponent: Sheri L. Akin, AICP, Senior Land Use Planner, McGuireWoods LLP for Costco
• Action: PCA/SEA
• Location: Chantilly Crossing Shopping Center, Lee Road just south of RT 50
Costco is seeking to add a fuel station to their shopping experience. They originally appeared before the LU&T committee in February. At that time the committee had no objections, but ask that they come back with more information and the results of the staff report.
7. Old Business
   • The Preserve of Westfields
   • Secretary Jim Neighbors reports that the construction started at The Preserve of Westfields; the walking path between Westfields Blvd and Lee Road is closed probably for at least a year. Please forward to others that an interest in this residential development or use the walking paths in the Westfields Business Park.
   • See attached graphic
   • From a pedestrian's viewpoint, as there is no sidewalk on the west side of Stonecroft Blvd, it'd be better for the sidewalk to be open from Lee Road to the point of construction then to force folks to walk the better part of the distance on grass and the narrow area along the bridge. Can't something be done about this?
   • Dulles Suburban Center Study
   • All submissions have been posted online on the Dulles Suburban Center Study website: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpz/dullessuburbancenter/
   • The submissions will be reviewed by a Community Advisory Group which will be formed in the coming months. Their work will begin in the fall. Updates about the review process and schedule will be forthcoming over the course of the summer.
   • It is expected that the Community Community Advisory Group will meet twice a month in excess of six months. Those Sully residents willing to serve on the Community Advisory Group should contact Laura Floyd of Sully Supervisor Smith's staff no later than 2 August 2016.
   • Monster Mini Golf presentation
   • The proponent of the Monster Mini Golf presentation made to the SDC LUT Committee in June indicated that it was created only for use at the District meeting.
   • They requested that it be removed, as it was their intention to explain who we were and provide details to the council members at the meeting only.
   • Shape Factor ZOA
   • We received confirmation that our comments regarding the ZOA Shape Factor in the R-C District were received by the Planning Commission Office.

8. New Business
   • The Exxon fuel station at the NW corner of McLaren and Centreville roads has filed special exception amendment SEA_92-Y-016.
   • This SEA requests the removal of restrictions which we recommended that were imposed when the facility opened, such as the sale of alcoholic beverages, the varieties of food, and the use of a microwave to cook things onsite.
   • The SDCLUT has indicated to Supervisor Smith's office that it wasn't necessary to refer the removal of the ban on selling alcoholic beverages to the committee, as a matter of course, as we would no longer object to sales of alcoholic beverages.
   • As this case involves the removal of restrictions on the sale of other items, the SDCLUT will need to determine whether it wishes to hear cases like this in the future or whether the removal of the additional restrictions could be considered pro forma, and not require a rehearing.
   • On-line form to register to make presentations to the Land Use and Transportation Committee
   • At last month's board meeting, it was proposed that the council attempt to create a page for each case to provide information about the case, and indicate whether or not they are within the exempt areas, and if not, that they acknowledge that they have downloaded and read the prepared statement rather than our re-reading it each time.
   • The webmaster's proposed page is available on line, please be prepared to speak to it our meeting.

1. 7:00 -- Evaluate the land development process in fulfillment of the County's Economic Success Plan
• Proponent: Rick McBride, Regulatory Initiatives Staff, Office of the County Executive
• Action: Evaluate the land development process in fulfillment of the County's Economic Success Plan, specifically, Goal 3: Improving the Speed, Consistency and Predictability of the Land Development Process
• Location: Countywide
Rick McBride, working for Fairfax County, is helping to evaluate the land development process in fulfillment of the County's Economic Success Plan, specifically, Goal 3: Improving the Speed, Consistency and Predictability of the Land Development Process. They have been working with an outside consultant, Gartner, and are prepared to share Gartner's recommendations in each district to update interested citizens. His thought is that our land use committees provide the most logical opportunity and the committees could help advertise to interested citizens. The presentation will be similar to the one provided at the Development Process Committee on May 24. He expects to need 45-60 minutes to provide good opportunity for questions. He would like to begin the meetings in late July.
