Reston Residents Outline Fairway Flaws To County Planning Commission, Reston Patch, July 8, 2011

Lots in this article from Restonians who stayed passed midnight to be heard.  Among those who spoke were Barbara Byron representing RA's Design Review Board, Diane Blust representing Fairfax Coalition for Smarter Growth,  and Tammi Petrine as co-chair of Reston 2020. 

Here is what the article said about Reston Citizens Association (RCA) President Marion Stillson's presentation:

RCA president Marion Stillson says Fairway is extremely important because it will set a precedent for about two dozen other neighborhoods that may next be in line for redevelopment.

"Why is Fairway so dangerous?" she said. "Because it breaks the rules at a time and in a manner that could spoil Reston. Fairway is the first residential neighborhood in Reston to seek development. If it gets the greenlight for this, what will stop the others?

"This proposal is dense in scale, urban in design and does not belong next to a golf course," she said. "It is unacceptable and violates Reston's values. Please reject it."
