On 17 October 1986, the thirteenth meeting of the CIA Traffic Advisory
Committee was held in the offices of the Virginia Department of Highways
and Transportation (VDH$T). Enclosed are the minutes of that meeting.
Subsequent to the meeting, the plans as presented were delivered to
VDH$T for implementation. Although the design review process has been
completed, we will advise members of the TAC if any significant issues
develop regarding the off site road improvements during the coming months.
Sincerely,

1. On 17 October 1986, the thirteenth meeting of the CIA Traffic
Advisory Committee (TAC) was held in the offices of the Virginia Department
of Highways and Transportation (VDH&T). The Chairman called the meeting to
order at 10:10 a.m. He gave a brief summary of the activities which had
taken place since the last formal TAC meeting, including agreements reached
at two special meetings with the residents of Evermay Section 7. He then
introduced Mr. John Fowler of Dewberry and Davis.
2. Mr. Fowler gave an overview of the project with emphasis on design
features which were incorporated as a result of the special meetings noted
by the Chairman. The new items noted were a traffic signal at Merchant's
Lane, a seven-foot precast concrete barrier finished with exposed aggregate
on both sides, and retention of existing desirable trees with a substantial
amount of supplemental plantings.
3. Mr. Maxfield asked whether there were plans to extend the present
pathway along Rt. 123 westward. No one present could answer the question.
The Chairman stated this was outside the scope of the TAC meeting.
4. Mr. Fowler stated he had a complete set of design plans at the
meeting available for review.
5. Mr. Maxfield asked how large the largest traffic sign will be.
Mr Fowler stated that the largest signs were 5 feet by 5 feet and 4 1/2
feet by 8 feet. No sign would be larger than any of the signs presently in
the area.
6. Mr. Maxfield asked how mature the provided vegetation would be.
Mr. Fowler responded that several varieties of pines would be planted which
would be approximately 8 feet in height. He thought that in 5 years they
may reach a height of 12-14 feet. Certain trees would be smaller depending
on the species since certain varieties do not transplant well when more
mature.
7. Delegate Andrews inquired as to how this plan ties in to the other
improvements planned for Rt. 193. Mr. Farley of VDH&T stated he did not
know the present status because there have been complications due to the
discovery of archaelogical artifacts in the area. He stated he would
advise the attendees of the status of the projects. Delegate Andrews also
asked whether the jogging/walking path would be extended from the Langley
High School area to join up with the path provided near the Fairfax County
ballfields. Mr. Farley stated he thought that plans might be on file with
VDH&T regarding that issue. He and Delegate Andrews were to discuss this
issue after the TAC meeting. The Chairman stated that whatever the case
may be, this issue is outside the scope of the TAC.

8.-_ Mr. Maxfield asked for the status of the additional lane on 1-495.
Mr. Long stated that there will be a public hearing on the issue in
May 1987 and that bids for the project are scheduled to be opened in
July 1988,-The Chairman stated that CIA has committed to provide $500,000
in funds in FY 88 for this project.
9. Mr. Bozarth stated that several meetings ago, residents asked that
the excess right-of-way somehow be preserved as open land. He asked
whether the State had indeed made such a commitment. Although a firm
answer could not be given, several members of the TAC indicated that they
had seen some correspondence to that effect. (N.B. A copy of VDH&T letter
dated 5 March 1986 which states that the area will be retained as open
space is attached to these minutes.) Mr. Bozarth stated that the CIA
offsite road improvements program needed to be brought before the National
Capital Planning Commission. There ensued a discussion between the
Chairman, Mr. Bozarth, and representatives from VDH&T regarding procedural
issues required to allow VDH&T to advertise the project without further
delay. It was decided that these procedural issues would be discussed
after the formal meeting and that all parties will work towards a solution
which would not further impact the project schedule.
10. The Chairman adjourned the meeting at 10:55 a.m.

At the January 29 CIA Traffic Advisory Committee Meeting, a question was raised about
what the Department would do with the excess right of way on the north and south sides
of Route 123 once the road improvements to Route 123 are completed.
We have reviewed this matter and the Department will retain these areas for open space
as suggested at the committee meeting. Please advise the members of this decision at
the next meeting.
Very truly yours,
