        The school has attempted to contact local communities regarding their expansion.
        Even though the building is proposed to be 25 feet from the property line, Staff has a concern regarding grading and how it might affect both the on-site trees and off-site trees. They are agreeing to a development condition the wording of which needs refinement which would address their concern. Staff also proposes to include a condition that requires a bond so that if one of the trees dies, it will be replaced by the Applicant or the bond will not be returned. They do not have that wording as yet.
        The revised plat shows several changes including a refinement of the clearing and grading lines, fencing around the play area, the sidewalk from the building to the parking lot (now flagstone), a reduction of parking spaces which will help ensure that the trees in the front are more likely to live.
        See the following new handouts:
        • Special Exception Plat
        • Site Plan
        • Parking Tabulation

It had previously been thought to be Armstrong Management, which is still listed in the real estate assessment records. Ten citizens were contacted and one has responded within a timeframe so that they can address the questions raised. The Armfields Farm Management Company will be sent a cover letter and a copy of the Special Exception plat.

        They revised their proffer statements twice based on our and staff's comments, first on 6 June and again on 21 June.
        As the committee was concerned about Adult-related retail sales the developer reports that it is not allowed by proffers. We also were concerned about the Eastern architectural elevation which they have revised as per our recommendation. The revised GPD shows smaller buiilidng, since the a portion of the travelway at the vicinity of the RPA was in floodplain. Now everthing is outside the foodplain limit.

         Governor Kaine has set a goal of conserving 400,000 acres of land during his tenure. The legislature has provided some funds for this purpose but not enough to reach the Governor’s goal. There are many strategies that can be used to ensure that land is conserved and protected for future generations.
         Fairfax County carries out its land conservation program primarily through NVCT­in addition to proffers and other avenues. The County is fortunate that nearly 10 percent of its land area is open space, which is its goal. The Park Authority tries to acquire land as it becomes available to add to its park system. Hear about how the Virginia program can benefit landowners and future residents and how NVCT and FCPA carry out their land conservation programs.
