1. 7:00 — Retreat at Westfields (RZ 2019-SU-009)
• Proponent: Mike Van Atta, McguireWoods
• Proposal: Follow up presentation and discussion for the Retreat at Westfields (RZ 2019-SU-009) on behalf of Elm Street Communities, which is scheduled for public hearing on January 15, to provide an overall update to the group.
• Location: Tax Map 43-4((1))16
• Exempt: Is
• Read Statement: Not Applicable
The Planning Commission hearing date is scheduled for 1/15/2020. The staff report is available with a favorable recommendation.
The proponents have submitted revised proffers for RZ 2019-SU-009.
• The following questions are expected to be asked by Mary Cortina on Fairfax County staff at the public hearing:
  1. What building envelope/construction methods or acoustic materials are proposed to mitigate noise for this development? I don't see anything proposed and you've stated that general construction using typical materials is adequate for sound levels that can reach 70 decibels. Also, I am not knowledgable in this area, but when we soundproofed a room in our house (drums...) there were two types of standards — the sound transmission for interior spaces and the outdoor to indoor standards (OITC). Did the sound report use the OITC? Unless I missed it, I don't see the report in our PC materials, but I believe it's in the online materials for staff.
  2. If a prospective purchaser signs away their rights in an avigation easement, are they eligible for FAA/MWAA soundproofing mitigation in the future? Typically, avigation easements are purchased by a locality or airport to compensate the property owner for loss of property value or, alternatively, they can participate in sound mitigation programs that replace windows, outside doors, outside walls with acoustic treatments.
  3. What sound mitigation is provided for the outdoor areas? I don't see anything proposed.
  4. Tree canopy, tall trees in particular, provide additional sound mitigation in addition to the other air quality, water quality and quality of life benefits. This application is not meeting the tree preservation target requirement, even though 70% of the site is wooded. How can the site be adjusted to meet the tree preservation target?
  5. This pertains to Stormwater Determination Letter: I am confused about the timing of construction phases on this project - the site plan is from 2000, so would that have expired in 2005? What is the 2014 general construction permit for? Elsewhere on the Westfields campus?
     Sheet 12 shows the pond design based on 82.6 acres. Does the applicant need to provide the impervious conditions for the 82.6 acres to provide a comparison that the pond design is adequate? In other applications that are part of a larger phased development, the cumulative totals are tracked to ensure there is no increase in impervious from the design parameters. Can this be provided?
     Also, will your sound expert be available at the hearing to speak?
• In response, this comment was offered by Carol Hawn: the FAA residential soundproofing program (RISP, I believe) cannot be used to insulate new construction. If the building didn't exist by a certain year (at the start of the program in about '87 '91 or so), the building is not eligible for funding.
• This summarizes the positions taken on the proposed rezoning:
  • Sully District Council of Citizens Associations:
  • The Sully District Council of Citizens Associations has objections to this rezoning.
  • Although the plan amendment allows residential development within the noise contours, each rezoning needs to be evaluated individually.
  • In this instance, the council does not believe that attached single-family residential development, i.e., townhouses, is appropriate under the busiest runway of the busiest airport in Fairfax County.
  Approved by a vote of 3 yea and 1 nay
  • Western Fairfax County Citizens Association:
  • The Western Fairfax County Citizens Association believes the rezoning should be denied.
  • If the application goes forward then the map of the noise contours lines as proposed by Michael Cooper of MWAA should be furnished to prospective lot purchasers
  Approved by a vote of 2 yea, 1 nay and 1 abstention
2. 7:45 — Proffer Condition Amendment application for Dulles Auto Park
• Proponent: David Houston, Bean Kinney & Korman, PC
• Proposal: Proffer Condition Amendment application to change one proffer from 1999 governing the existing Dulles Auto Park. The applicant is the Dulles Auto Park Owners Association, Inc. and all owners within the Auto Park have consented to the application. The application requests the modification of a portion of a single existing proffer (Proffer #3) to eliminate the sentence that establishes a cap on the number of total vehicle sales buildings at 10. The overall maximum permitted density of 0.20 FAR will not change. No new construction is proposed.
• Location: Dulles Auto Park, 4105-4175 Auto Park Circle, Chantilly, VA
• From the On-line Land Use and Transportation Committee Presentation Registration Form:
• Exempt: Is not

Zoning Application and Proffered Condition Amendment Application.

  Neither the SDCCA nor the WFCCA had any objections to this Proffer Condition Amendment

   Topic: Fairfax County Economic Development Authority
   • Speaker — President and CEO, Victor Hoskins
   • Next month's Joint Sully Land Use and Transportation Committee is scheduled for Monday, 10 February 2020. This meeting will be held on the 2nd Monday of the month in lieu of the third due to the observation of the President's Day Holiday and be held at the Chantilly Highlands Community Center.
   1. 7:00 — Germain Property Rezoning and Special Exception
   • Proponent: David S. Houston, Bean Kinney & Korman, PC
   • Proposal: Rezoning and Special Exception application to rezone 12.06 acres from I-3 Industrial to C-8 Commercial to allow the development of up to three buildings on the Property (95,000 SF) for use as vehicle sales, rental and ancillary service establishments. The subject property abuts the existing Dulles Auto Park and has specific Comp Plan language to be used for the intended uses. (RZ 2019-SU-021 and SE 2019-SU-022)
   • Location: South side of Lee Jackson Memorial Highway approximately 1,200 feet west of its intersection with Stonecroft Boulevard (TM 033-2-((01))-0006 (part))
   • Exempt: Is
   • Read Statement: Not Applicable
   The subject property is known as the Germain Property and has frontage on Route 50 just west of the existing Dulles Auto Park (my other pending case). Attached is the Initial Distribution by the Department of Planning and Development which includes the location map, application forms, Statement of Justification and Generalized Development Plan/Special Exception Plat.
   Essentially, this application is to rezone 12 acres to allow up to three auto dealerships. The Comprehensive Plan has specific guidance for this property that recommends the proposed uses as a natural extension of the existing Auto Park.
   2. 7:45 — Single-issue proffered condition amendment (PCA) to modify proffer for an already approved new vehicle storage site on Old Lee Road
   • Proponent: David Gill, Wire Gill LLP
   • Proposal: This case is a single issue PCA to modify 1 proffer for an already approved new vehicle storage site off of Old Lee Road. The proffer is to remove the requirement the storage yard use pervious paving as that does not work for vehicle storage. Instead the applicant is expanding their underground SWM facility so the result is improved stormwater management over their existing approval.
   • Location: 14800 Old Lee Road. The original approval was 2016-SU-015.
   • Exempt: Is
   • Read Statement: Not Applicable
   Because single issue PCAs are expedited, our PC is Feb 26th but my hope is it is not a controversial application. .
   

Respectfully submitted,

Jeffrey M. Parnes
First Vice President
