4. Membership Presentation:
   • State of Sully by Michael Frey, Sully Supervisor

5. Land Use and Transportation will be scheduled as required:
   1. 8:30
      • Proponent: Edward L. Donohue, Donohue & Stearns, PLC
      • Action: Planned upgrades for Crown Castle Hunter Mill DAS network
      • Location: Hunter Mill Road
        Crown Castle is planning upgrades on certain DAS nodes in the Hunter Mill network to accommodate 4G LTE service by AT&T.
        The completion of this project will bring faster data speeds and increased network capacity to the areas served by the network, allowing these residents and mobile users access to cutting-edge wireless technology. The locations to be changed are highlighted in the attached slide deck.
        The work at each node involves removing the existing node cabinet and replacing it with a new-generation 4G cabinet which is similar in overall volume to what is currently permitted and installed. There will also be some replacing of cables and antennas contained within the existing shrouds and risers. Nodes 5, 6 and 7 are moving into initial construction and will be installed with this configuration under the current County building permits. While minor in nature, this work is a critical part of Crown's routine and continuing efforts to keep its DAS networks operating at peak performance.
        Crown expects to commence this activity as soon as weather and availability of our construction crews permit. Work at each node will be fairly brief, and Crown will manage traffic in conformance with its VDOT maintenance permit for occasional ROW work. Because this work involves (i) a "like-for-like" swapping out of components with no change in function, and (ii) no significant change in size to the permitted equipment and enclosures, Crown does not require and is not seeking any County approvals for this work. But, in the interest in being a good community partner and keeping you and the staff informed about our activities in the area, we wanted to provide you with this information ahead of our work in the field.
        The attached presentation provides a list of the locations to be improved, sample "before" and "after" pictures of the cabinets, and a profile drawing of the new installation. We wanted to let you know about this work ahead of time so that you would be fully informed in case there are any resident inquiries to you or the Supervisors' offices.

   • Proposed Sully District Council resolution regarding Schneider Crossroads improvements
     • From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schneider_Crossroads,_Virginia
       Schneider Crossroads is an unincorporated community in Fairfax County, in the U.S. state of Virginia.[1]State Route 620 and State Route 609 cross here and it is located 5.3 miles northwest by road from Centreville.[2] It contains little more than a florists' and a site called Cox Farms.[2] Pleasant Valley Golf Club lies to the northeast. The crossroads is a major traffic bottleneck, with traffic flow currently managed by four-way stop signs. There has been some discussion to improve the current configuration, by adding turn lanes and a light. VDOT had proposed a traffic circle several years ago, but cost of acquiring the additional property was prohibitive. Another major concern is that the intersection floods after heavy rains, and that any improvement would need to deal with that problem. In 2012 Loudoun County, just west of the crossroads, offered over a million of the county's funds to pay for the intersection upgrade as it is their residents that are inconvenienced the most by the traffic problem, although the intersection is completely in Fairfax County. Even with a state match of the funds, the amount offered would not cover the costs of both the road and drainage improvements.
     • VDOT has proposed adding state money to that offered by Loudoun county to build a one-lane roundabout at the intersect and held a public information meeting on the topic in May 2013.

8. Items of General Interest:
   • At its 25 May meeting the Fairfax County Transportation Advisory Commision was given an update on the I495 Express Lanes

       • It was suggested it's a move to rob Northern Virginia of our money to boost Hampton Roads.

     • Public Works reported on snow removal.
       • FDOT worked up a good deal with VaDOT to trade 11 miles of road for snow ploughing responsibilities
       • It was vetoed in Richmond so Fairfax will need to add $250,000 for snow ploughing or wait three extra days to get it done.

   • Region Using Federal TIGER Funding to Improve Reliability and Convenience of Bus Transit
     • Several transportation agencies in the Washington region are using grant funding awarded under the federal TIGER program to make bus transit a more reliable and convenient travel option for area residents.
     • The 16 projects funded under the grant are located mainly along key transportation corridors connecting residential, commercial, and employment centers. The projects all aim to improve the quality of bus service through such improvements as new lanes and priority signals that allow buses to bypass auto traffic and move more quickly through intersections, real-time arrival information displays, and new and upgraded bus stops and stations.

           • Proponent: James D. Turner, Esq., Law Offices of Thomas, Ballenger, Vogelman and Turner, P.C
           • Action: Crilley Warehouse, LLC Amendment to change SUP 2003-SU-012
           • Location: 14810 Murdock St, Chantilly, VA
             On the docket with the BZA on July 31, 2013 at 9:00 a.m.
             The property is now being utilized as a lacrosse facility and is run under the name of Nova Field House by Pat Stewart. Mr. Stewart runs a lacrosse league and has hundreds of youth participants in the community. Nova Field House has the appropriate Non-Rup (non-residential use permit) as required by the County. Mr. Stewart has a company called Triple Edge Lacrosse (link to: http://www.tripleedgelacrosse.com/About_us.html)
             In our letter of justification, we confirmed that we are seeking minor changes. The first change is to have the SUP in the name of the property owner (Crilley Warehouse, LLC) and to allow the permit to run with them. Nova Field House is a co-applicant. However, if they terminate their lease my client, Crilley Warehouse, LLC, wants to be able to substitute another Lessee in without going back before the board. This is a typical practice within the County for properties with SUPs.
             Next, as it stands now, there are no hours listed in the actual SUP. We would like to continue with this provision. As you are probably aware, the area is an industrial area zoned I-3. It has no nearby residential and has the distinction of being one property away from the Police Shooting Range. Noise is not an issue with the facility. The activities are inside the building except for the parking. We are not seeking to change the amount of car trips, capacity or anything else.
             Please feel free to call me or email me with any questions. I am sure Pat Stewart will allow any interested party to visit and walk around the facility. It would be best to either call me or Mr. Stewart prior to arriving to ensure there are not events which prohibit access.
