Elections: The Mount Vernon Farms Civic Association will be holding their annual elections. Nominations will be accepted from the floor. [Held until the end of the meeting]

Old Mount Vernon Rd. / Mount Vernon Highway Redesign (Y intersection): The no left turn sign was taken down by VDOT but somehow another one was put up. Rose Lambert has been advised by VDOT that the new one will come down. The redesign of this intersection is on hold by the County’s Department of Public Works due to lack of agreement by various citizen groups. Also, Rose Lambert reported that according to staff substantial right-of-way would be required if the intersection were to be properly reconstructed and this would not fall under the "spot improvement" program.

Parkside of Mount Vernon: The MVCCA has passed a resolution to remove the traffic diverter at main entrance to Parkside at Route One. According to County Transportation Staff, the rationale for the diverter was that the future plan includes a concrete median on Route One. The county feels that if they remove the diverter the residents will get used to entering the subdivision through the main entrance instead of using Central Ave. The suicide lane on Route One allows people to go both directions and turn in to the diverter which sends mixed signals to drivers and could jeopardize safety. VDOT needs to determine if Central Avenue meets the warrants for a traffic light . Don Hamlin said that the people living in Parkside and the Summerville Assisted Living facility want the diverter removed. The Mount Vernon Council’s Transportation Committee has prepared a resolution to have the diverter removed. Rose Lambert recommended to the Acting Chair of the Transportation Committee that the MVCCA Transportation Committee invite Kathy Ichter and Chuck Almquist to the Transportation meeting to discuss alternatives to help correct the problems created by the diverter and when the traffic light at Central could be expected.

Also, a playground is being built in the County Park on Central Ave. none of the new homeowners at Parkside, Ryan Homes, or the MVFCA knew about this. We are trying to gather background information on this project. Rose Lambert will research the details of the new tot lot being built in the County park . Kris Amundson had been concerned about this but seems to have resolved her issues.

Paving of Colonial -- County staff is working on responsible parties for repaving the upper end of Colonial (towards Old Mount Vernon Road.

Other Planned Sidewalks are underway. [Mount Vernon Highway in front of Seven/11 and South almost to new houses.]

Central Ave: Some preliminary work has recently begun on this road.

Proposed Development of Dawson Property on Nalls Rd.: The public hearing for this project before the Planning Commission will be held June 28^th at 8 p.m. This development of 10 cluster homes, in the $500k range, is being proposed for the property at the western end of Nalls Rd. (Nalls Rd. is directly across from Mt. Vernon High School). [Staff reports were distributed. There is a problem with some properties that could be left with two front yards. The builder will put in a spite strip to help alleviate the problems. This development is cluster homes. Four houses will be entered to from Nails, and 6 will have an entrance off Gibb Street.]

South County Center: This project has been approved by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors but the transportation issues are still being worked out.

Planning and Zoning – Charles Becherer – Dawson went through P&Z and will now go to Planning Commission. Nothing on the church at Rib Rack, the Mt. Vernon Chamber spoke against it.

Dean Norton brought up the fact that the Mount Vernon P&Z had voted to postpone the hearing on the SCC until they could review the plans. Rose Lambert pointed out that the Council’s request to defer was brought up as a motion by Supervisor Hyland, but died for lack of a second.
