• Location: 6212 Summer Pond Dr., Centreville, VA
• From the On-line Land Use and Transportation Committee Presentation Registration Form:
  • Exempt: Is Not
  • Statement Acknowledged: Yes
  • Description: T-Mobile Cellular facility to be established by increase of existing 56' Silo dome by 10' and install inside of new siding below dome a microwave dish and initially 6 panel antenna with space for 3 more. 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.
2. Resolution on Metro funding
   • Last month the Mount Vernon Council of Citizens Associations (MVCCA) considered a draft resolution designed to request the Commonwealth to secure a permanent funding source in support of Metro. In their discussion they came to the conclusion that the Fairfax Federation would be in a better position to influence the Virginia legislature than the MVCCA.
   • Their thoughts on the matter are posted on the Federation's transportation page along with the Federation's transportation committee's comments on the MVCCA proposal.
   • Committee members, including several from Sully District, suggested the idea of having multiple civic organizations across the region each submit separate statements on this topic.
   • Lewis Grimm, our 2d VP and a member of the Federation's transportation committee, suggested that we discuss this at our meeting tonight.
   • A draft of the Federation's resolution is available for our consideration and modification

  2. Provide a new map and list of the fifteen mixed-use small areas exempt from the recently adopted Virginia Code §15.2-2303.4;

1. 7:00 -- Riding and Boarding Stable on Bull Run Post Office Rd (return visit)
• Proponent: Keith Martin representing Stonebridge Investments LLC
• Action: SP 2016-SU-090
• Location: Bull Run Post Office Rd
• From the On-line Land Use and Transportation Committee Presentation Registration Form:
• Exempt: Yes
• Statement Acknowledged: N/A
• Description: SP 2016-SU-090 Stonebridge Investments LLC for a riding and boarding stable. This is an existing riding/boarding stable that was grandfathered, but lost its status when the land area was reduced for a residential subdivision and some land added to the adjacent winery
• They have appeared before the Joint Committee twice before in October and November 2016
• Keith reports that they have added acreage to stable the SP and expect to have staff approval.
• Notes from their October appearance:
• How is the subdivision impacted buy this use?
• What is access to this site through the neighborhood?
• How many horses allowed -- by ordinance, so many per acre?
• Will this become a noxious neighbor to the new homes that will be built? Response: NV Homes will write in to the conditions of the new homes contracts
• Need to see trails, how it fits in bigger picture
• After the October meeting At-Large Planning Commissioner Jim Hart posed the following query to county staff:
• Did you all ever get any more information about the equestrian center SP case off BRPO Rd? I had some questions which you all may have asked already. Specifically:
• How do vehicles/horse trailers get to the public road through the new subdivision? I assume all traffic would come from BRPO Rd somehow, rather than up from the winery side? Is there a gravel road or paved road or what? Is there a cut through?
• Does VDOT or OT have any issues with running the vehicular access to a nonresidential use down private roads? Is the entrance near or along any houses?
• Also what is the configuration of the adjacent new houses, and how do they relate to the access road?
• Does the nonresidential use need frontage on a public road?
• Is the site an outlot or a lot, and does that make a difference?
• Also what is the distance between the existing structures and the new homes, and their orientation? Seemed like at least the one building might be close to backyards.
• Also how do the connections to trails work, and where exactly do the trails go? Are they public trails? Is there an easement? Are there going to be gaps through the subdivision, or is it continuous? Can someone go from BRPO Rd to the stream valley/battlefield, and vice versa?
• Has the floodplain been located? It was vague on the drawing.
• I understood from Keith Martin there were no outdoor lights and loudspeakers proposed and would want to confirm that.
• I was at the first meeting with WFCCA and SDC folks, which had a lot of questions and not a lot of answers. I believe Keith Martin is coming back in a couple weeks. I wondered if the discussions with staff had progressed further in the meantime, and if anything had changed.
• Staff responded as follows:
• They did have a meeting with Keith and a representative from the applicant and requested a great deal more information from them. They provided an updated plat and a revised statement of justification, however staff doesn't believe all of its questions have yet been answered. Staff is having another internal meeting about the application and then the application will be presented at the regular staffing meeting. This is to say that staff's understanding of their proposal continues to evolve.
• Staff provided a few answers at this time:
• Their method of access to BRPO Road is in three phases. First, it will continue to be at its current point, next it is proposed to have an interim access point from BRPO Rd. to Delaney Chase Way and Lady Adelaide Court once those streets are constructed for the new subdivision, finally it is proposed to be located via a 30 ft. ingress-egress easement that runs from BRPO Road (just south of the new subdivision), along the southern side of the subdivision, to the riding and boarding property. The final access point will have a commercial grade entrance to BRPO Road and will be paved a minimum of 25 feet.
• The revised plat does show the floodplain and areas of RPA which just cross the edges of the property to the north and west and do not cover either of the barns. However, one of the equestrian trail easements does cross the RPA.
• The revised plat does depict the equestrian trail easements which cross over the "tails" of the subdivision lots. One of the trails leads to the future Delaney Chase Way, one leads north toward the Park Authority trail system, and one leads south toward the winery.
• The riding and boarding property is not directly adjacent to any of the subdivision properties. There are two houses in existence on the adjacent property that are currently occupied by renters, but staff will need more information from the applicant as it understands many of the structures in this area are proposed to be demolished.
• Attached are the revised plat and statement for review.
2. 7:40 -- New Vehicle Storage on Old Lee Road
• Proponent: Keith Martin
• Action: RZ 2016-SU-015 to rezone TM 43-2 ((1)) 2 from I-3 to I-5
• Location: Old Lee Road next to the School Board bus lot
• From the On-line Land Use and Transportation Committee Presentation Registration Form:
  • Exempt: Yes
  • Statement Acknowledged: N/A
  • Description: RZ 2016-SU-015 to rezone TM 43-2 ((1)) 2 from I-3 to I-5 to permit a New Vehicle Storage use on the 5 acre property.
• They have appeared before the Joint Committee before in October 2016
• Keith reports that they have added a service bldg to the rezoning and expect to have staff approval.
