Questionnaire
Please answer each question and, if desired,
provide explanations in a brief statement following all of the questions and
answers.
1. The Fairfax County Planning
Commission voted unanimously to reject a proposal to increase the population
cap in Reston's Planned Residential Community (PRC) areas to a number
greater than 13 persons per acre. The Board of Supervisors then voted
unanimously to "indefinitely defer" action on this
proposal.
Do
you agree with the Planning Commission that there should be no increase in the
overall density of the PRC? YES___ NO____
2. The Reston Master Plan
specifically supports there being two full sized (18 hole) golf courses in
Reston. Fairfax County guidelines also call for at least two golf courses
in Reston.
Do you support maintaining a firm and unwavering
line on maintaining existing zoning laws that will ensure Reston has adequate
open space, specifically to include two 18-hole golf courses?
YES___ NO___
3. The Fairfax County Master Plan
specifically emphasizes the vital need for citizen input on land use
issues.
Do
you support having a balanced composition (local private citizens and local
business persons) to any task force, working group or similar committee
dealing with land use and development matters? YES___ NO___
4. In recent years a number of
development applications have requested and been
granted waivers to zoning and other regulations and guidelines
meant to promote safety, accessibility, and the quality of life and
esthetics of Reston. This has resulted in the loss of open space,
crowded roadways, noise and light pollution and unaesthetic
buildings.
Do
you support the elimination of granting such waivers as a matter of common
practice and requiring strict compliance with building and zoning
ordinances to preserve the essential nature of Reston and the remainder of
Fairfax County? YES___ NO___
5. A position on the Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors is a demanding and time -consuming undertaking.
If
you are elected to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will you resign from
all other jobs and make the County Supervisor position your exclusive and full-time
job? YES___ NO___
6. One of the key concerns for residents of
Reston and the Hunter Mill District more generally is the delay between the
approval of developments and the availability of funding and implementation of
planned infrastructure and schools to support the increased number of residents
associated with the approved developments.
If
you are elected to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will you support
legislation by the Virginia General Assembly to authorize Fairfax County to
more effectively maintain infrastructure in phase with development? YES___ NO___
