Planning Commission Regular Meeting/Work Session

Paul CunninghamThank you, mr. Chairman I guess sticking with the first issue, I will congratulate you in terms of the noise issue in locating immediately across the street from a fire station, which I know when emergency vehicles have to operate, don't tend to observe the hours of quiet or other things when they are in a hurry. So there probably are many offenders in this area that we've had to live with for a fairly long time. Secondly, I guess I would like to congratulate Mr. Vanderhaar on having the most effective crew that he is ever going to have. Because I think what I heard him just say is that they're never going to make a mistake. They're never going to cause the line to back up in the stacking lane because of a mistake or an order or somebody fumbling with it.

Paul Nabtistaffby voicecouple things of interest they adopted a resolution establishing the housing and healthy communities advisory board this was one of the recommendations of the homelessness task force they adopted the Fairfax Circle small area plan by a vote of four to two authorized the purchase of the GMU Commerce Center site which is directly south of fire station three this site can be used for future expansion of the fire station while that study has not fully been completed it is known that the the additional space will be needed. They had a discussion on the green building policy that initially focused on tax incentives. However, that option was not preferred. And staff is going to explore options looking at zoning incentives.
