Place: Leesburg Town Hall
25 West Market Street
Lower Level7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Virginia Knolls Community Meeting

Note: The Town of Leesburg Planning Commission meets on
April 7 at 7:00 with Crescent Parke on their agenda. You will
have the opportunity to speak at the podium in front of the planning commission regarding this development. If you are not
comfortable doing so, your presence at the meeting will speak
volumes.

Topic: Crescent Parke Development

Crescent Parke is a very large development
planned on the 53 acres behind Food Lion and
adjacent to Izaak Walton Park.

We plan to have the developer, his land use manager and engineer present for this meeting.
Dulles Greenway Extension: The Town of Leesburg
has on its Master Plan a mandate by VDOT for the
Greenway to exit to Leesburg on an elevated roadway over Gateway Drive continuing to Harrison
Street. This roadway is one lane in and one lane
out and is oriented with a ZERO clearance between
YOUR fence line and the roadway. 12 ft. Concrete
sound walls have been discussed. There is talk that
the roadway will not be built, HOWEVER, VDOT refuses to allow Leesburg to remove the item from
the Master Plan. So YOU DECIDE!

What you should know:

We share the property line

There is a 90 foot reserve area from YOUR

rear fence line to the beginning of their
buildings

The entire area will be clear cut

There will be a road from Food Lion on S.King

Street through this development that exits
on to Gateway Drive

The developer plans:

207 Single Attached Dwelling Units (South Side)

More Areas of Concern:

Sharp increase in traffic on Harrison Street and Gateway

Drive. Developers traffic study projects an additional
3,000 vehicles daily throughout the area.

Proposed 45 story buildings on top of 11 ft. higher

site grading.

Run-off and storm water impact on Virginia Knolls.

Stream restoration throughout the development

Storm water retention to mitigate to the 100 year flood.

96 (2 over 2) Style Townhomes (South Side)

96 Multi-family Units Over 1st Floor Commercial
