As you may recall, our comprehensive planning process Fairfax Forward has been undergoing an evaluation to look at how successful the process has been as a replacement to the Area Plans Review process. Two of the main concerns have been the amount of public engagement in the process and the amount of general understanding of the process. Staff has been working with the Planning Commission to draft proposed modifications to the process which bring back elements of the old APR process – namely, bring back a citizen nomination process for site-specific proposals. We would like to discuss these changes with the Sully community.

     • Specific, including intense efforts as the major promoter of a single program or project completed in a finite period of time.
     • Persons whose contributions of time and talent resulted in major accomplishments that have enhanced the quality of life for citizens of Fairfax County, who do not meet the published eligibility standards for the Citizen of the Year consideration, may still be honored by the Federation.

9. Scheduled Meetings/Activities:
• Fairfax Federation Membership Presentation: Neighborhood Forest Management on 19 January 2017
• Jim McGlone, Urban Forest Conservationist, Virginia Department of Forestry, will cover Neighborhood Forest Management
• Neighborhood trees are a major asset for anSy neighborhood. They improve property values, reduce vacancy rates, reduce heating and cooling costs, reduce stress, and improve community cohesiveness. But, it is important that they are properly maintained and cared for during their life and safely removed at the end of their life. Untended trees are a risk to you and your neighbors. Jim McGlone will talk about how to manage your neighborhood trees so they live long and prosper. He will also teach us how to see the signs of their decline so they can be treated or removed safely. Jim McGlone is an Urban Forest Conservationist for the Virginia Department of Forestry, is a Tree Risk Assessment Qualified and Certified arborist and has been helping homeowners in northern Virginia for over 10 years.

A 10' x 25' compound enclosed with 8' tall wood fence at the base for unmanned equipment and propane generator. No employees at site except for technician visiting every 6-8 weeks for maintenance check.
  A request for a Feature Shown for cell site at 6212 Summer Pond Dr. has been filed with Fairfax County Planning Office. Assigned #2232-Y16-42 Jon Bouno is Staff coordinator. Proposal is to replace dome on existing 56' tall silo with a dome 10' taller. Antenna would be inside dome and not visible. At the base outside silo would be a secure 10'x25' compound to hold equipment.
  If Staff agrees it is a Feature Shown there would be no Planning Commission public hearing.
