Please attend the Reston P&Z Meeting on Campus Commons

Please attend the Reston P & Z Meeting  on Campus Commons     Monday  Sept. 16th @7:30 pm              North County Government Center

The Campus Commons developer is seeking another vote on its proposed
development at Wiehle and Sunrise Valley this coming MONDAY at the next
Reston Planning & Zoning Committee meeting. The P&Z meeting starts at 7:30
and will first review another project on the agenda first before moving on to the
Campus Commons presentation.

PLEASE ATTEND if you can and wear YELLOW! It is critical to have a good
community turnout for this important hearing since the developer’s project is still on the Fairfax County Planning Commission agenda for 25 September. Your voice is important!

While the developer has just offered to consider a pedestrian bridge at the
Wiehle-Toll Road intersection as well as minor adjustments to building heights,
these are tentative proposals that do not alter the serious concerns over the size, scale, and impact of this large proposal on the residential communities in South Reston and beyond. Further details on those issues can be found in the attached PDF summarizing the questions raised at the 5 September community meeting, along with developer responses and comments.

And please SHARE this announcement with your neighborhoods and clusters to ensure all are informed and to encourage as many affected residents as possible to attend.

Thank you!

Vote for sound leadership of the Reston Community Center!

Don’t let your special Reston Tax Assessment Continue to be Wasted!

Elect Laurie Dodd and Bob Petrine in the Reston Community Center (RCC) Board Preference Poll

 Voting opened Sept. 3^rd (three days ahead of the previously announced Sept 6^th start date) and will run to 5:00 PM, Friday, Sept. 27^th

• As a Reston resident or business, you pay an extra tax of 4.7 cents / $100 RE assessed evaluation to support RCC. This equals $140 on a $300,000 or $235 on a $500,000 home every year! Are you getting value for your hard-earned tax dollar?
• Reston Community Center is owned and run by Fairfax County, but Reston alone pays for it.  
• The RCC Board of Governors has not been a sound steward of our tax dollars and needs new leadership.

Here’s How to Take Action:

• Reston residents should receive one ballot per household in the mail. Ballots can be mailed in or dropped off in boxes at Hunters Woods or Lake Anne Centers.  Or vote online @ RCC’s website (http://restoncommunitycenter.com/home) using code printed on your ballot.  NOTE:  Mailed ballots MUST be received by Thursday, Sept. 26^th to be counted.

• Because 3 seats are to be filled in this election, the 3 candidates with the highest number of votes will win.  Three incumbents advantaged with name recognition are running again.  For this reason, please consider voting ONLY for Bob Petrine AND Laurie Dodd.  Voting for 3 seats may well defeat Laurie and Bob’s efforts to represent a NEW perspective on this Board. 

 
LAURIE AND BOB WILL WORK TO MAINTAIN RCC’s FACILITIES & PROGRAMMING AND PROMOTE A LOWER TAX RATE.
