A Suggestion to Improve Lighting in Lakeport: A well-lit community is one of the most basic measures we can take to ensure the safety of our residents and our property. The Board has had the streetlights brought into good working condition and, as you know from the announcement of the upcoming Special Owners Meeting, will be replacing all the bollards in Lakeport soon.
One suggestion that has been made to further the goal of safe lighting is for residents to leave their lights on at night, especially those in end units with corner lights, which according to long-time Lakeport residents used to be standard practice. This is of course voluntary, but doing this small thing would be a gracious contribution to the overall safety and attractiveness of our community.
Julie Bitzer, our current South Lakes District Director, is running for re-election; her opponent is Tammi Petrine. Information about both candidates (plus the at-large candidates) can be found at https://www.reston.org/AboutRestonAssociation/Governance/BoardElection/tabid/630/Default.aspx.
Hearings Canceled on PRC Zoning Ordinance Amendment: The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has postponed the scheduled dates for two public hearings on the proposed Planned Residential Community (PRC) zoning ordinance amendment: https://www.restonnow.com/2018/03/06/county-schedule-for-proposal-to-increase-population-density-in-reston-delayed/?mc_cid=0ec209e146&mc_eid=f7819b59fd
The county is seeking to amend the zoning ordinance to allow for an increase in the number of residential units permitted within the PRC district. The current Reston PRC ordinance limits the population to 13 people per acre for properties within this zoning district. The county wants to allow for up to 16 persons per acre to add an additional 12,257 multifamily residential units. This growth is focused in the Town Center, Village Centers, and the Transit Station Areas (TSA) around the three Metro Stations.
Please monitor local news for the dates of the rescheduled hearings if you want to have a say in this important matter for the future of our community.
See “The Density of Reston” elsewhere in this newsletter for more helpful information on this topic.
