Message from Scott York: Report From BOS Meeting 5.16.06

[Lee]

Report of the Tuesday, May 16, 2006 Board of Supervisors' Business
Meeting


Dear Friends,

I must apologize but due to personal business commitments this report
is coming to you a week late. Nevertheless, I hope you will find the
information from the past meeting of interest. Once again, the items
before us were extremely varied in scope and reflect the growth
pressures on the County. Your input has been very valuable to me and has
certainly illuminated some facets of legislation that needed further
review. For that I say "Thanks!"

One item worth noting: I have asked for a Staff report to be presented
to the full Board of Supervisors concerning the actual costs and path
forward for the proposed high school, HS-3, on the Fields Farm site
north of Purcellville. The meeting will be held Thursday, June 1st at
6:30 at the Government Center in Leesburg. At the present time there is
just not enough solid information available on this site to sufficiently
assess the viability of this property.

The next regularly scheduled Board meeting will be on Tuesday, June 6th.


Sincerely,

Scott K. York
Chairman

3c. Process Applicant's CPAM Recommendations - The Crosstrail applicant
would propose policy language for amending the Comprehensive Plan to be
advertised at the next available Planning Commission public hearing.
Review of the language would be concurrent with the review of the
rezoning applications. Timeline: The CPAM would track as closely as
possible with the rezoning. Implications: The proposed language would
be advertised prior to staff review, public consideration, and
discussion of the issues. Depending on the scope of subsequent
deliberations and direction given by the Planning Commission, the CPAM
may need to be re-advertised and a second public hearing scheduled.

planning effort in the other remaining areas on the JLMA. This process
should begin after the Crosstrail CPAM/rezoning application.
