1. 7:00 — 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. .
The Joint Commmittee had no objections to this proposal
2. 7:35 — Airport noise contours.
   • The discussions regarding Dulles Airport noise contours was well-documented by Bonnie Hobbs, a reporter for the Centerwiew, and can be found in its 19 February edition on pages 3, 6 and 7.
   • This statement was distributed to county staff, supervisors and planning commissioners:
     On 10 February 2020, the Joint Sully District Land Use and Transportation Committee (JSDLU&TC) heard several presentations. This summarizes the position taken on the Retreat at Westfields (RZ 2019-SU-009).
     At the last JSDLU&TC meeting in January 2020At this month's meeting, the JSDLU&TC as an entity unanimously recommended that, if, despite its previous recommendation that the rezoning not go forward, it does go forward, that two illustrations, one showing the updated contour map as of 2019 and the other showing Elm Street's proximity to the runways and the flight paths of arriving planes, be included in the developer's latest proffer as documented in the 28 January 2020 letter to the Planning Commission from Emma Estes, DPDZED, subject RX/FDP 2019-SU-009, so prospective homebuyers would have this information. The indicated illustrations are included in this document below.
     In addition the JSDLU&TC supports MWAA's request that the Fairfax County Department of Planning and Development notify them in cases where homes, schools, childcare or eldercare uses are proposed in contours of 60 decibels and above or within a specified distance of the end of a runway.
   • As reported by Bonnie Hobbs, on Feb. 12, the Planning Commission approved Elm Street's application.
