MONTHLY MEETING AGENDA
DATE: Thursday, January 28, 2016 TIME: 7:30 p.m.
LOCATION: Development Services Building, Room 107 A&B
AGENDA ITEMS
Introduction of and Remarks by Supervisor Ruth Anderson, Occoquan District
Section A. Project Reviews
#1 – Project Title: Proposed New Elementary School @ the Chinn Center
Representative: Mr. Dave Cline, Associate Superintendent for Finance & Support Services Mr. Dave Beavers, Supervisor of Planning and Financial Services, Office of Facilities Services 703-791-7312 (office) 571-722-6751 (cell) [email protected]
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The school system is proposing a new elementary school at the Chinn Center to reduce overcrowding at Vaughn ES. The school would consist of 44 classroom accommodating approximately 924 students. Approximately 20 acres is needed for an
elementary school site. There was one public meeting in November 2015 and one on January 7, 2016. Mr. Beavers stated they looked at 12 different sites (9 private and 2 public).Primary concerns expressed by those in attendance:
Transportation – Originally (at the November meeting) access to the site was planned to be Troupe Street and/or Chinn Park Drive. This puts tremendous pressure on the roads due to the build-out of the final section of the Glenn
(Chic-fil-A, the Tribute, and eventually the Apple Federal Credit Union). It appeared as though students that would be coming to this new school would be coming, predominantly, from the

south so using Troupe and Chinn Park doesn’t make sense. At the meeting on January 7th, a new site configuration was shown proposing that access to the site would be via a new road coming off the southern portion of the site (a portion of which would be across private land the school system would have to purchase) and onto the Prince William Parkway at Kenwood Drive, a signalized intersection on the Parkway.
Parks and Open Space – There is already a paucity of park space for Occoquan District residents. Ms. Kim Hosen of the Prince William Conservation Alliance (formerly the Occoquan District Planning Commissioner) stated there are approximately 5 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents in the Occoquan District which is far below the standard. The topography of the proposed site is also challenging with wetlands and streams running through the site. One resident offered that each year the Chinn Center drains the pool into a neighboring creek using only gravity to emphasize the point that the land is challenging to build on.
Transparency – The general perception was that there has been little contact and interaction with the general public despite the November meeting that was sparsely attended. Citizens would like more information on the 12 sites that have been looked at and requested that time be provided for their input on other potential sites now that we have a better idea of the problem (overcrowding at Vaughn ES) that is trying to be solved.

#2 – Project Title: Proposed Verizon Monopole (SUP 2016-006 Verizon Wireless)
Representative: Ed Donohue, Donohue & Stearns, PLC, 201 Liberty Street SW, Leesburg, VA 20175 [email protected] Frank Stearns, Donohue & Stearns, PLC, 201 Liberty Street SW, Leesburg, VA 20175 (703) 726-2547 [email protected]
PROJECT: Verizon is proposing a monopole project in Coles District. The site is located on Prince of Peace Methodist Church property at 6299 Token Forest Drive (see aerial view below). It is 144' monopole with a compound at the base. This project will go to the Planning commission on February 17, 2016.

#3 – Project Title: LIDL Grocery Store at Tackett’s Village
Representative: Mr. Jay du Von, Attorney, Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh PC , 4310 Prince William Parkway, Suite 300,Prince William, VA 22192 (703) 680-4664,Ext. 5128 Fax: (703) 680-6067 [email protected]
Ms. Jessica L. Pfeiffer, Planner, Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh PC, 4310 Prince William Parkway, Suite 300,Prince William, VA 22192 (703) 680-4664,Ext. 5119 [email protected]
PROJECT: This will be a review of the Tackett's Village proffer amendment (for the Lidl grocery store). This is the same proffer amendment that was presented at our March and October, 2015 meetings. The applicant’s representative told us at the October meeting that they would come back with their transportation consultant, Gorove/Slade, to answer transportation related questions.
The following are concerns shared by LOCCA and OLRCA and expressed at past meetings:
1. The parcel of interest is a prime location on the border of the Regional Employment Center with great potential for a small scale office building. Chris Price from Planning was going to confirm if this is a proffer amendment or requires a proffer and Comp Plan amendment for this intended use.
2. The building size is too large a footprint for this parcel.
3. There are concerns that peak rush hour traffic may be negatively impacted due to left hand turns onto the property possibly causing backups to spill over onto Old Bridge Road. A traffic study is highly encouraged to determine if the location is suitable

#4 – Project Title: Marquee Hospitality Hotel – Shoppers Best Way
Representative: Sherman Patrick, Jr. AICP, Compton & Duling, L.C., Parkway East at County Center, 12701 Marblestone Drive, Suite 350, Prince William, Virginia 22192-8307 (703) 565-5134 (703) 298-7265 (Cell) [email protected]
PROJECT: This is a request for a proffer amendment. The parcel is currently zoned B-1, General Business which allows hotels by-right. However, the applicant needs an increase in the allowable FAR which is capped at 0.3 by the proffer. The applicant is requesting an increase to 0.5. The normally required FAR in the B-1 is 0.4 so this is also a modification. They are also requesting a height of 75 feet. The normally required maximum height in the B-1 is 45 feet.

Project Review Checklist

This checklist is used as a gauge to determine if the development being reviewed contains those features and design elements that embody community expectations of green building & LEED design, energy independence, "livability," "quality-of-life," historic preservation (including enhancement, tourism, and education), schools, parks, open space, trails, transportation connectivity, and functionally-oriented design concepts. It is not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather highlight those aspects of a development that, over the years, have come to signify the expectations of the community.
