OPENING

1. Calling the Roll.

The Meeting was called to Order by Mayor Donley, and the City Clerk called the Roll; all Members of City Council were present except Councilwoman Eberwein.
Council Action:_________________________________________________________

2. Public Discussion Period.

(a) Jack Sullivan, 4300 Ivanhoe Place, spoke to the INOVA Alexandria Hospital plans for expansion. He addressed the August 1987 agreement with the Hospital. He asked that the City request the Hospital representatives to sit down with the representatives of the neighbors and the Seminary Hill Association and work things out. Last Wednesday, the Seminary Hill Association passed a resolution setting up a special task force to negotiate with the Hospital. If they find that there is no interest in compromise, they will be forced to take appropriate action.

Mayor Donley indicated that he will talk with the Hospital to get them to sit down and effectively negotiate an agreement between you that will cover future expansions. Expansion, particularly of the Emergency Room, is necessary with the closure of hospitals around the region that serve this community as well as INOVA. He noted that the City's EMS Units are constantly on reroute.

Councilman Speck questioned the inclusion on the Seminary Hill Association Inc.'s Board Meeting agenda for Thursday, June 14, the following language: All non-SHA members are requested to leave the meeting at this time. This included guests, the press, and past SHA members who have not paid their 2001 dues prior to 6/14/01. Councilman Speck indicated that he was surprised to see this and questioned if this has always been the regular practice of the Association.

Treasurer Sullivan indicated that he could not speak to that since he had nothing to do with the rulings, and he would have to look at the by-laws. He noted that the Association should be as open as possible.

OPENING (continued)

(b) Nancy Kincaid, 400 Madison Street, #1408, president, Y-ME NCA Breast Cancer Support and Information Organization, noted that since she last spoke before the Council that she has been re-diagnosed with breast cancer which was found by a mammogram. She urged every woman over fifty to have a mammogram, and those under age fifty who are at high risk for breast cancer to have one. She explained the services provided by the Y-ME Organization and spoke to the Resource Guide for Breast Cancer Patients in the National Capital Area. This Resource Guide, which is available at no cost, can be obtained by calling 703-461-9595. She also encouraged persons to call the 24-Hour HOPEline at 703-461-9616 or 1-800-970-4411 which is operated by trained breast cancer survivors. Ms. Kincaid also encouraged women to perform breast self-examinations as an aid to detect breast cancer. Early detection is so important in treating breast cancer.

(Material pertaining to the above is on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council.)

(c) Judy McVay, 207 North Columbus Street, representing the Coalition for A Sensible Bridge, noted that something has come to its attention recently that concerns the Coalition, and that is it has heard that the Federal Government is in negotiations with the owners of the Hunting Towers buildings to buy the complex. The Coalition is very much concerned about what's going to happen to the two buildings that are not scheduled to be demolished should the Government succeed in this effort. The Coalition asked the Council to monitor this and to speak on behalf of the 320 apartments in each of the buildings, particularly the ones that are not scheduled to come down, to work on their behalf to keep these buildings and to maintain these apartments as affordable housing.

Mayor Donley reported that the City Manager, the Vice Mayor and the Mayor meet with the bridge consultants, and they have discussed Hunting Towers. It is the understanding that the intent is at this point that just one building is coming down, but he does believe that they are working to acquire the whole property. Their intent at this point is to maintain the two remaining buildings as housing. Mayor Donley is not aware of any plan that they have to raze the other two buildings.

(d) Margo Tolliver, 300 Wythe Street, #811, resident of Ladrey High-rise, spoke to a total breakdown of communications with the Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority management and its lack of concern for the residents. She noted that this is affecting the lifestyle of the residents living there. They have attempted on more than one occasion to bring their concerns to the attention of the Executive Director of ARHA. Mr. Dearman has been asked to attend their meetings to address their concerns, and he has never attended but sends Dr. Morris whom they feel is not relaying their concerns to Mr. Dearman. She noted that many people are afraid to speak up because they fear retaliation.

OPENING (continued)

Mayor Donley reported that the Vice Mayor and he meet with the ARHA Board once a month to address issues. He stated that he will raise at the next meeting the lack of communication between ARHA staff and the residents of Ladrey in listening and addressing your needs. Mayor Donley requested Ms. Tolliver to contact his office to let him know when the Ladrey residents would like the ARHA staff to come to meet with them. He indicated that he is going to ask specifically that Mr. Dearman and his staff attend, and, the Mayor will also attend. He said that if Ms. Tolliver and any other resident who is here today that speaks or doesn't speak feel that they have in one way or another, direct or indirect, experienced any retribution because you've come to exercise your right of freedom of speech and your ability to address your grievances to this legislative body, he asked them to call his office to let him know the specifics. This is something that this Council will not tolerate. He noted that Council does not have direct oversight over ARHA, but it does over the ARHA Board. If it does occur, he wants to know about it.

Councilman Euille echoed what the Mayor has said and appreciated all of the residents who came to the meeting. He asked them if they have gone before the ARHA Board to express themselves as they have before Council this morning.

Ms. Tolliver reported that they had and that they were laughed at.

Councilwoman Woodson reported that she personally had attended a meeting where she had addressed one of the staff members because they were being rude. This was during the time she was a member of the ARHA Board. She directed questions to Ms. Tolliver and others present as to what type of retaliation are they afraid of and what has actually happened.

Mayor Donley again requested when their next meeting is to be held. He will be there unless something required prohibits him from being there, but he also wants the other Members of Council to at least have the opportunity to attend as well.

(e) Virginia Murphy, 835 North Henry Street, expressed concern about the condition of the public housing unit in which she is living. She reported her concern about rats, termites, sink drain, floors and steps to ARHA and received no response. She then reported them to Code Enforcement which took care of the problems. She indicated that she receives no cooperation from ARHA.

Mayor Donley will bring her specific complaint to ARHA's attention.

Councilman Speck thanked all of the persons for their courage and coming before the City Council to express their issues and concerns with the Housing Authority.

(f) Charles Williams, 300 Wythe Street, #1103, spoke to his concerns about problems with the Housing Authority and the resident manager at the Ladrey Apartments;

OPENING (continued)

(g) Otis Weeks, 300 Wythe Street, #413, president, Ladrey Advisory Board, expressed the concerns of the residents of Ladrey Apartments whom he represents relative to setting up a meeting with ARHA Executive Director Dearman to try to open the lines of communication between the residents and the management of the Housing Authority; and

(A copy of Mr. Weeks’ statement is on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council.)

Councilwoman Woodson questioned the item Mr. Weeks spoke about with respect to the two residents at Ladrey not having chairs to sit in while waiting to be transported for dialysis, and asked if whether this was an ADA violation.

City Attorney Pessoa stated that there may well be a requirement for reasonable accommodation for these tenants. He noted that without looking further into the width of the corridor and a host of other issues, he could not be certain but would be glad to look into it with Code Enforcement if Council requests.

Mayor Donley stated to Mr. Weeks that Council has his letter, and he will take it up with ARHA.

(h) Arnette Jones, 58 Kennedy Street, a Section 8 participant, expressed her concerns about the management of the Housing Authority, and noted that in March of this year, she had received a letter from her landlord stating that the landlord had not received the Housing Authority’s portion of the rent since September 1999.

(A copy of Ms. Jones’ statement is on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council.)

18. SPECIAL USE PERMIT #2001-0043
1218-1224 PRINCESS ST
HOPKINS HOUSE

Public Hearing and Consideration of a request for a special use permit amendment to add a day nursery in a school building and to increase the hours of operation until 7:00 PM; zoned RB/Residential. Applicant: Hopkins House Center for Children and Families, by Harry P. Hart, attorney.

COMMISSION ACTION: Recommend Denial (Mr. Dunn recused himself.) 3-3

Mayor Donley directed questions to Mr. Hopkins, Hopkins House president, about accreditation rules and how they apply and how those standards are employed under the current operating arrangement at Hopkins House. Mr. Hopkins responded to his concerns.

Mayor Donley asked Mr. Hopkins if he was making a representation that under the current configuration that fifty-five (55) students would be the maximum that could be there and that the only way that would change would be a change in the configuration of the building, i.e., more space.

Mr. Hopkins indicated that’s correct. In the three rooms that we have, plus the accounting office, making a total of four (4) rooms under the current configuration, the maximum that Hopkins House envisions and the maximum that we can have legally, and the maximum that we can have under our accreditation is fifty-five (55) children of ages from six (6) weeks old to five (5) years old.

Mayor Donley further questioned Mr. Hopkins and asked unless you were to materially change the building and how you use space, under current accreditation standards and licensing standards, you couldn’t have any more kids.

Mr. Hopkins stated that’s correct, unless we made some changes, and we’d have to come back here before we did that. To give you an example, if Hopkins House were to desire to change one of its rooms on the second floor into a preschool, which we have no interest in doing, but if we were, that would both require a SUP process, plus we would have to do major renovation and reconfiguration there. That would be an example if we wanted to increase beyond fifty-five (55), but we have no desire to do that.

Councilman Speck requested a friendly amendment, similar to the one that was made at the last public hearing, to insert some language to revise the way the wording of condition no. 22 where it says “the director has received a request from any person to docket the permit for review.” He stated that Council built in some language that if there is a complaint that rises to the level of a violation that the special use permit would be docketed for review. Councilman Speck suggested, unless there is an argument against, that that be standard language any time we have this particular type of condition that’s added.

Hearing no objection, the friendly amendment was accepted.

Planning Commission (continued)

Councilman Euille spoke to condition no. 21 and asked the status of his request with respect to parking in the 400 block of North Payne Street from the March 2000 Public Hearing Meeting. He noted that in the Boys and Girls Club block that the reason the street is narrow and there is parking on just one side is because on one side of the street the sidewalk extends out into the street. He stated that you could cut off five or six feet of that sidewalk and widen that street. He noted that is costly, but it is something that can be considered and could provide parking on both sides of the street as a result. He queried whether this matter has been discussed with the Inner City Civic Association.

Transportation and Environmental Services Director Baier reported that it can be done, but it has not been designed out nor allocated in this budget. Mr. Baier indicated that he spoke with a couple representatives of the Inner City Civic Association but had not discussed the proposal with the entire association.

Mr. Baier was requested to proceed to discuss this proposal with the Inner City Civic Association.

Mayor Donley queried Planning and Zoning Deputy Director Ross about the process regarding the proposed Environmental Learning Center. He indicated that it is Council's understanding, as it stands right now, that it would not require coming back through the process for a special use permit.

Planning and Zoning Deputy Director Ross responded in the affirmative.

City Council approved the staff recommendation for approval of the special use permit, with the following amendments: with the elimination of condition no. 21, and with the request that staff is to include some language in condition no. 22 that says something to the effect: "that if the director has received a request from any person to docket the permit for review, it should be as a result from a complaint that rises to the level of a violation."

2700 JEFFERSON DAVIS HY
AFGHAN RESTAURANT

Public Hearing and Consideration of revocation of a special use permit for the existing restaurant business; zoned I/Industrial. Staff: Department of Planning and Zoning.

COMMISSION ACTION: Recommend Revocation 7-0

Councilman Speck noted that condition no. 25 which talks about how long you can operate after the closing hour means a midnight closing and that everyone is gone by 1:00 a.m.

City Council overturned the Planning Commission revocation with the following changes in conditions: Change condition no. 4 to read as follows: “4. The hours of operation shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. to Midnight.”; deleted condition no. 11, and substituted a new condition no. 11 that states: “11. No live entertainment shall be allowed except for scheduled wedding ceremonies approved in a list submitted to the Director of Planning and Zoning, by 5:00 p.m., June 20, 2001.”; changed condition no. 14 to read: “14. Private security guards shall be provided from 10:00 p.m. to one hour after the closing hour.”; and changed condition no. 24 to read: “24. The Director of Planning and Zoning shall review the special use permit and shall docket the matter for consideration by the Planning Commission and the City Council no later than December 31, 2001.

21. VACATION #2001-002
1601 CHAPEL HILL DRIVE
Public Hearing and Consideration of a request for vacation of a public right-of-way, zoned R-20/Residential. Applicant: Thomas A. Davis and Jerri Davis, by Duncan W. Blair, attorney; and appointment of viewers for same.

COMMISSION ACTION: Recommend Denial 7-0

Councilwoman Pepper asked if there is a condition or covenant that indicates that this will always be green grass.

Attorney Blair stated he has indicated that, and he will make sure that an ordinance has that in it that there will be a covenant “that the front vacated portion shall not be built upon.” That is a statement, and it is a proffer which will be in an ordinance.

Mr. Davis, applicant, noted that the request was not for 10 feet.

City Engineer Baker spoke to maintaining a 50 foot right-of-way.

Transportation and Environmental Services Director Baier explained the intent of the staff.

REPORTS OF BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES (continued)

Planning Commission (continued)

City Attorney Pessoa pointed out that the next docket item is the ordinance to carry into effect this vacation, if Council adopts it. That will be back at the last legislative meeting for public hearing and final passage. It’s worded now that we vacate 10 feet. If that needs to be adjusted or Council wishes to adjust it when we have it on the last Tuesday, we certainly can do so.

Mayor Donley asked that two things occur between now and then to the extent that we can preserve the fifty-foot right-of-way, because we’re not talking about a whole lot of dollars here, but at any rate, to the extent that we can we will attempt to do so. The Mayor requested Mr. Davis to check with his architect to get FAR calculations and compare it and contrast that with his proposed addition so that Council will have a little more certainty from his side of the fence. He stated that staff will look into the fifty-foot right-of-way, and Council can make any adjustments to the ordinance when it comes back along with the viewers’ report at the June 26 Legislative Meeting.

City Attorney Pessoa stated that staff also needs to determine the fair market value.

City Council moved to overturn the Planning Commission and to vacate 10 feet, subject to any amendments that come back. Rodger Digilio, chair, Ross Bell and Bill Brandon were appointed as Viewers.
Council Action:_________________________________________________________
