   1. 7:00 -- Special permit for commercial recreation
   • Proponent: Sara V. Mariska, Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh PC
   • Action: Special permit application (SP 2015-SU-080) to allow a commercial recreation use in an existing building
   • Location: Fairfax County Tax Map Reference 24-2 ((1)) 12A (13996, 13998, 14000, and 14002 Park Center Road)
   
   The Subject Property is currently improved with four (4) buildings that are zoned to the I-5 District and used for office use, warehouse use, and establishments for production. The Applicant leases four (4) bays that are addressed as 13996, 13998, 14000, and 14002 Park Center Road.
   The Applicant currently operates an establishment for production and processing with associated retail within the four (4) bays, but is now requesting a special permit to allow up to 7 sports courts within the four (4) bays that total approximately 35,520 square feet. The courts will be used primarily for practices or volleyball matches for leagues in the area. There will also be a small snack bar and accessory retail space for the convenience of athletes. No exterior construction is proposed and the Applicant intends only interior improvements to allow use of a space when most other uses in the industrial park are not operational. This use will fill a vital community need.
   The special permit is scheduled for a hearing before the BZA on July 29
   2. 7:20 -- Special exception amendment related to a service station (Westfields Sunoco)

   The application is scheduled for a Planning Commission hearing on September 30.
   3. 7:50 -- PCA for Timber Ridge
   • Proponent: Sara V. Mariska, Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh PC

   • Location: Dulles Suburban Center, Land Unit D-3, Timber Ridge (Tax Map Parcel 24-4 ((1)) 6B4). The Timber Ridge development project is located on the west side of Centreville Road, north of Wall Road and east of the HP campus.
   
   In attempt to get feedback on their proposal, the developers met with residents of Franklin Farm and Chantilly Highlands communities, whose developments are located on the east side of Centreville Road. The notes from the 15 April 2015 meeting, as well as site plans and aerial views of the parcel, are posted on the Chantilly Highlands website.
   In April, county staff briefed the SDC on the BOS own motion to allow the approved office use to be replaced with residential uses -- specifically town-homes. We indicated we would not object to the plan amendment, however, we still have concerns about the overall impact of commercial to residential land-use conversion in western Fairfax County.

   27 Apr -
   25 May - Tentative: Sully Legislators Report From Richmond
   22 Jun - Tentative: State of Sully by Sully Supervisor
   • Suggestions from the League of Women Voters regarding our Second Quad-annual Sully District and Fairfax County Candidates Night in October:
   • For the other districts, we have handled the large-numbers problem by inviting the candidates for Supervisor and District School Board to have speaking roles. Usually, we give each candidate time for a 3-minute self-introduction, then have a question and answer session in which the candidates have equal chances to answer the questions.You have 2 candidates for the first office and 3 for the second, so there is intrinsic interest in the races and you may have many questions just about Sully District concerns.
   • Then we let the other candidates know that they will be welcome to attend as observers and to meet the public and hand out literature during the informal period at the end. That is the "Meet and Greet" part. The candidates for the Constitutional offices and Soil and Water do have a speaking event of their own. The Chair of the Board of Supervisors and the At-large School Board candidates also have a speaking event of their own.
   • Of course, you have held these events many times and know how you want them to run. We will abide by whatever your Board decides. We just thought you might be interested in what other districts are doing.

7. Old Business
• Phase II of the Fairfax Center Area Study
• Starting this summer a working group for Phase II of the Fairfax Center Area Study was created, with three representatives each from Sully, Springfield, Braddock and Providence districts. The Sully representatives are Mark McConn, Jeff Parnes and Jim Katcham
• The presentation slides from the first meeting on 7 July are posted to the meetings page for the Fairfax Center Area Study. The meeting summary will be circulated for review and posted when complete.
• Topics for the next meeting on 29 July will include a presentation of the submissions received during the open submission period, a review of some prior notable Plan amendments in the Fairfax Center Area, as well as some information on Plan amendments that have been previously authorized outside of the study process.
8. New Business
• Dominion Electric Power Line Alignment - Poland Rd 230kV Transmission Line & Substation Project
• Loudoun County continues to experience rapid growth in electrical demand, particularly by the commercial/high-tech sector. The County's attraction to the business community has resulted in the need to build new transmission line and substation facilities located in the Dulles community.
• On 15 July 20165, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed an initiative opposing Dominion's proposed routes for the Poland Road plan, which would put in a four-mile, above-ground, high-voltage power line and a substation.
• One of the alternatives suggested by the Loudoun BOS for the power line (Alternative 3) provides power from a substation in Fairfax County thereby requiring the installation of transmission lines from that site to the proposed data center site (in Loudoun). The suggested route would be through or adjacent to Cub Run Stream Valley Park.
• This proposed route will require 100ft towers erected adjacent to the Pleasant Valley community to support the transmission lines. It is expected that Fairfax County officials (staff & elected) stay close to this situation, to oppose Alternative 3 in the strongest terms and to keep the residents of Fairfax informed.
