Traffic Calming Project For Cobra and Kinross

By Diane Mahoney

The Traffic Calming Project for Cobra and Kinross is once again moving forward! Last year we canvassed the homes in our neighborhood asking homeowners to sign the official Fairfax County petition in order for a community task force to be formed to develop a traffic calming plan. We were successful in this endeavor and obtained the required 75% of households to sign the petition. Over 730 households signed the petition. This indicates overwhelming sup-port for this project but we have a long road ahead to see this project through to completion.

As we begin the next phase of this project, we would like to ask you to attend a meeting on Monday, June 9th at 7:30 pm at the Community Center. If you are con-cerned about the safety of those living in our neighbor-hood and you would like to support the community task force, please come to this meeting to find out what you can do to ensure the implementation of traffic calming in our neighborhood. Neighborhood support is key to a successful outcome. Please let us know that you will be attending by sending an email to trafficcalming@chha.org .

Some background information to better under-stand the Traffic Calming Process

To qualify for Traffic Calming, a study of volume and speed must be performed by FCDOT. The Traffic Calm-ing review was done on May 9, 2006 just over two years ago. On that day over 3200 cars traveled on Cobra at an average speed of 30-32mph with an 85th percentile speed of 38-39mph. On Kinross there were two test areas. In one area, volume exceeded 1400 cars and in the second area volume was almost 1100 cars. Speed was in the same range as on Cobra. Our neighborhood was accepted into the Traffic Calming program as Cobra and Kinross exceeded both the volume and speed guidelines. Since

Minutes are tentative and will be reviewed and approved at the upcoming Board of Directors meeting.

Board Attendees: Larry Miller, Wendy Hunt, David Howlett, Greg Zilberfarb, Michelle Doucette, Paul Thurneysen, and Brian Keagy

Absent Board members: Imrana Umar

Homeowner attendees: Two

Paul Thurneysen called the meeting to order at 7:45pm.

The meeting minutes for the last Homeowners Meeting were submitted and approved.

Treasurer’s Report: The CHHA balance sheet, budget report to-date, and accounts payable by vendor were passed out to the board and reviewed.

Community Facilities: Crystal Aquatics was paid to drain the pool due to algae. We need to add an addi-tional drain and need to replace some whitewash on the interior of the pool. The motor failed and that is being estimated for repair/replacement.

We received one viable bid for the handyman position. A motion was made to approve the Class A, Chantilly-based company to do handyman jobs for the neighbor-hood on an as-needed basis. The motion was approved.

Land Management: No new business at this time.

Architectural Control Committee: The board has re-ceived several complaints about homes with yards that have not been mowed. The ACC has contacted people where it was appropriate.

Community Activities: The Community Yard Sale will be held on May 10th. Signs and advertisements have been placed strategically.

Civic Affairs: A motion was made that CHHA join the Fairfax County Federation of Citizens Associations again this year. The motion was approved.

Neighborhood Watch: No new business.

Communications - Newsletter and Website: We are fol-lowing up on last month’s meeting and are requesting a draft contract from our current webmaster. We dis-cussed procedures to make sure we had a backup for our database.

Long Range Planning: We are researching companies to

Chantilly Highlands Homes Association Board of Directors’ Meeting

Thursday, May 7, 2008 Submitted by Wendy Hunt

do the long range plan.

Old Business: No old business addressed at this time.

New Business: Residents attended and proposed to put signs that say “No Dumping” in common grounds where dumping activity has increased. A similar re-quest was made for dog signs to encourage owners to clean up after pets.

Archived records will be addressed and anything with personal information will be shredded.

Meeting Adjournment: With no additional new business to discuss, Paul Thurneysen made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Brian Keagy seconded it. The board unanimously approved the motion and the meeting was adjourned at 9:07 pm.

UNPAID HOA DUES Households with unpaid HOA Dues will be restricted from us-ing the pool and other community facilities until paid in full, including any late fee and additional assessments.

then, cut-through traffic has increased significantly in our neighborhood especially with the additional light on Cen-treville Rd. Traffic and speed will only continue to in-crease with the added development to our surrounding area.

The next steps in the Traffic Calming process 1) Development of a Traffic Calming Task Force –

comprised of representatives of FCDOT, local district supervisor’s office, VDOT and Fire and Rescue; approxi-mately 4-5 homeowners, and 1 representative from an adjacent neighborhood (Franklin Farm)

2) Formal Field Walk by the Task Force – discuss types and possible placement of traffic calming devices; develop proposed plan

3) Review of Proposed Plan by VDOT 4) Residents directly affected by the placement of a

traffic calming device must agree to the device 5) VDOT finalizes Plan 6) Community meeting to discuss Traffic Calming Plan 7) Community vote on Traffic Calming Plan - ballots are mailed/delivered to residents with a

Yes or No vote option

TRAFFIC from page 1 - 50% of the ballots must be returned within a speci-fied time period (e.g. 4 weeks)

- of the ballots received on time, 60% must vote in favor of the plan

8) If the community votes yes, it is about 3-6 months be-fore the Fairfax County Board votes on the measure (technicality – must vote to make it official) and VDOT installs the devices. • If the Traffic Calming Plan fails, VDOT and Fairfax

County requires a 2 year waiting period. We would then have to start at the beginning of the process with canvassing the petitions door-to-door.

Where we are in this process We have established the Community Task Force under

Step 1 but we would like additional homeowners to help and support the Task Force. We are currently in the proc-ess of Step 2 and are looking for ideas and input from our neighbors. Input from more than just a few homeowners is imperative in order to develop a successful plan. It is our goal to put the plan to a vote before the end of the year.

Our neighborhood is simply too large for just the few on the task force to accomplish this task. Please strongly con-sider helping with this process by attending the meeting on June 9th. If you plan on attending, or have questions, email trafficcalming@chha.org .

June 21 from 8-10pm—Teen Pool Party July 19 from 8-10pm—Teen Pool Party October 25 at 2pm—Halloween Parade December 6 at 7pm—Winter Garden Lighting December 13 - Winter Wonderland

On July 2, you can help save lives while you cheer on the Chantilly Highlands Dolphins at our home swim meet. The Chantilly Highlands swim team will be host-ing an Inova blood drive at the community center from 3:30 - 8:30 PM.

If you are in good health, at least 16 years old, and weigh at least 110 pounds, then you are eligible to donate blood. Just one pint of blood can help save the lives of several people—among them, newborn babies, cancer patients, burn victims, and open-heart surgery candidates.

Inova Blood Donor Services estimates that an average of 200-300 donations are required every day to meet the demands of the 15 hospitals that they serve in the DC metro area . If you are able to donate blood on July 2, please call 1-866-BLOODSAVES (1-866-256-6372) or e-mail robyn.kaplan@inova.org to schedule an ap-pointment. Appointments are appreciated although walk-ins are welcome.

Make sure to drink plenty of fluids the day of and the day before the drive. Also, enjoying an iron-rich diet in

Teen Pool Party 8-10 PM

the days before the drive will assure an elevated iron count. An iron count that is too low can keep many other-wise eligible donors from being able to participate. Due to travel restrictions, less than 40% of the area's popula-tion is currently eligible to donate blood. Please help keep a safe and adequate blood supply in our local hospi-tals by registering to donate.

CHANTILLY HIGHLANDS POOL FACILITY

2008 RULES AND REGULATIONS These rules and regulations were approved by the Community Facilities Committee in coordination with the Board of Direc-tors. Their purpose is to assure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time at Chantilly Highlands Pool. All Homeowners, their families, and guests must abide by these rules. Revisions may be made at any time by the Community Facilities Committee. The safe operation of the pool depends on every parent being responsible for his or her own children and that the Pool Man-ager has adequate enforcement authority. These rules are not intended to replace or diminish the parents’ responsibility for the safety of their children. Non-swimmers and novice swimmers require special attention of their parents. Children using the baby pool, which is not guarded, require constant supervision. Throughout these rules, the term “Pool Manager” will be used to denote the actual Pool Manager or, when not present, his/her designated assistant. A “Responsible Person” is defined as a parent, guardian, or other individual, 14 years old or older, designated by a parent.

Section I. ENFORCEMENT OF RULES The Pool Manager has complete authority and responsibility for the safety and orderly operation of the pool. He/She may deny the

use of a section of the pool to any person of any age that does not exhibit adequate proficiency for that section. Any situation not covered within these rules will be subject to the judgment of the Pool Manager. Failure to obey the direction of a lifeguard is cause for removal from the pool facility. If you see a rule infraction please bring it to the attention of the Pool Manager and if the situation isn’t resolved immediately, please contact (posted out front) the Pool Company’s Manager or Larry Miller so that it can be dealt with and corrected.

The Pool Manager has complete authority to eject anyone at any time from the pool enclosure for the remainder of the day. Such action will be documented on a special form and reported to the Community Facilities Committee within a timely manner. If the offender is under 13 years of age, he/she must stay within the pool enclosure until a Responsible Person is contacted.

Serious or repeated infractions of the rules and regulations will be documented in a log and will result in dismissal from the pool for the remainder of the day. A second dismissal will result in a one week suspension from the pool. A third dismissal will result in suspension from the pool for the remainder of the summer. Parents will be notified after each incident resulting in dismissal.

The penalty for extreme incidents may include suspension of pool privileges for the individual or the entire household. Any matter requiring immediate action should be discussed with the Pool Manager. Homeowners with comments or complaints

about the operation of the pool should submit them in writing to: Paul Thurneysen -Board of Director’s President Larry Miller, Board of Director’s Liaison Jeff Boehlert, COMFAC committee member

The photographs of each lifeguard with their names, The Pool Company Manager , Larry Miller and Jeff Boehlert’s as well as phone numbers will be posted at the entryway into the pool. Any incidents or comments can be directed to the Pool Company Manager and/or Larry Miller. If the need is immediate or there is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed the Pool Com-pany Manager or Mr. Miller can be called.

Section II. MEMBERSHIP Membership is available to all persons whose primary residence is located in Chantilly Highlands. Membership privileges will be

withheld for all persons residing in a home for which the homeowner’s dues (including late fees) are not fully paid, pool guest fees are unpaid, or failure to complete registration. Funding for the Pool comes directly from homeowner’s dues.

Community Rules Reminders Keep lawns mowed and edged per CHHA policies, and out of respect for your neighbors. Make ar-rangements for someone to mow for you if you are out of town. No Dumping on common grounds, which includes the common grounds which are not mowed—this is a viola-tion of ACC policy. Pick up dog poop on common grounds as well as on per-sonal property of others. Dogs are not to be off leash when off your property, no matter how well-behaved—Fairfax County law.

Vacation Tips Have neighbors look after your house and pick up mail & newspapers for you, or have your mail held at the Post Office and suspend newspaper delivery while you are away. Make arrangements for someone to mow your lawn while you are on vacation so that it is not obvious you are not home. Set light timers for both outdoor and indoor lights to make it appear that you are home. Leave a phone number with a neighbor in case they need to contact you.

VANDALISM IS EVERYONE’S PROBLEM

With the nice weather usually comes an increase of vandalism. Kids get bored. However, parents are still responsible for their children.

A resident wrote in to inform us that her home was vandalized in early May by three teenage girls with toilet paper, syrup, and cottage cheese. When the resident heard noises, saw the girls in the act, and confronted them, the girls ran. This resident had a young child and does not know why their house was targeted.

While you and your child may think that toilet-papering and other acts of ‘mischief’ are playful and harmless, they may be considered vandalism. Did you know that mailbox destruction may result in a fine or even jail time?

You may be responsible for any costs associated with such acts, and there may be legal consequences as well. Have a talk with your youth to make sure they realize the possible consequences, and to find out why they would engage in such behavior. Provide other outlets for teens and their friends. Be a good role model for our youth.

As always, report suspicious persons or activities to the police at the non-emergency number (703) 691-2131.
