From the Editor . . .
It’s hard to believe, but Summer is just
around the corner! As things get into
full swing again, the Association staff is
planning several events, including our
annual Summer Kick Off, Community
Yard Sale, and more.
Once again, the Association will be holding its Spring Community
Yard Sale to help residents sell some of those buried treasures
in their attics/garages/etc. The Yard Sale is scheduled for Saturday,
May 14th, so you still have plenty of time to get ready for it. We
will be advertising the sale in the local papers to bring out lots
of buyers! Take a look at page 9 for more details and registration
information.
Staff and volunteers are also hard at work on plans for our
Summer Kick Off event. This year, it is scheduled for May 28th
from 4 - 9 PM. This is always a great event for the entire family
to attend! We will have some new restaurants coming this year with
all of their specialties, along with lots of your old favorites. There
will be a live band playing throughout the evening. For the kids,
there will be all kinds of rides, moonbounces, games, and much
more! Zambelli Fireworks will be back again with their incredible
fireworks display. (Please note that portions of Windmill Drive
will be closed during the event, so you will need to plan ahead.)
(set up tents/tables/equipment, selling tickets, working security,
running games, helping clean-up, etc.), we need you!! please
email Rachel at [email protected] or call the Association Office at
703-729-6680 to volunteer.
Don’t forget that you can always sign up for our Association
email alerts! Just go to our website and enter you email address
on the form on the home page. It only takes a minute, and it will
keep you up-to-date on everything in Ashburn Farm!
Until next month . . . Happy Mother’s Day!

Board Briefs
This complete draft of the BOT meeting minutes will be
reviewed and voted on at the next BOT meeting. The
complete set of minutes may be viewed at the Association Office.
At the regular BOT meeting held on April 5, 2016, the following items
were discussed:
• President, Tim Hughes, called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.
• A motion passed (6/0/0/1) to approve the March 1, 2016
minutes, as submitted.
APPEALS
• 43615 Plantation Terrace, Appeal of 55-513 Hearing Committee – The homeowner did not attend the meeting. A motion was
made to approve the appeal for the shed on the property at
43615 Plantation Terrace. The shed is already in place. It was
noted that, had the owner applied for the shed before building it,
the shed would not have been approved because it does not meet
the Architectural Standards. The motion failed (0/7/0/0).
• 42836 Crossbow Court, Appeal of Late Fees - A motion passed
(7/0/0/0) to grant the appeal to waive the $25 late fee and $5
administrative fee. The homeowner paid the assessment on the
26th, but Summit did not clear the payment until the 2nd, resulting
in the late fee. The homeowner has made all other payments on
time.
COUNTY SUPERVISOR’S ADDRESS - RALPH BUONA
• On April 21st, the Traffic Calming vote will be taken at the
Supervisor’s meeting. Once approved, the traffic calming will
be implemented in Ashburn Farm. Belmont Ridge Road will be
widened to 4 divided lanes and construction will start mid-summer
from Gloucester Parkway to Croson Lane (near Briar Woods HS),
and should be completed by 2018. Supervisor Buona discussed
students crossing Hay Road while walking to and from school. A
public hearing will be occurring on April 27th regarding the “road
diet” to decrease the lanes on Hay Road to allow a safer crossing
for the students.
• He discussed the problems experienced by the County during
“Snowzilla”, and stated that “Ashburn Farm just got forgotten …
and VDOT screwed up”. He noted that the surrounding communities were passable long before Ashburn Farm. This was due to
issues that VDOT had with some of its snow removal sub-contractors. Supervisor Buona has worked with the County and State to
ensure that these issues do not happen again in the future.
• Metro to Ashburn is on schedule to be handed over to MWAA in
August of 2019. He said that three parking garages will be built,
holding approximately 5,000 vehicles each.
• The land off Belmont Ridge Road near the interchange with Route
7 was recently found to contain a slave burial ground. That land
is going to be deeded by Toll Brothers to Loudoun County for its
preservation. The new interchange under construction will be
built around that burial ground, and the current Belmont Ridge
Road will become just a gravel access road to the area.
OLD BUSINESS
• Farmingdale Traffic Calming Study – On April 21st, the Traffic
Calming vote will be taken at the Board of Supervisor’s meeting.
Once approved, traffic calming will be implemented in Ashburn
Farm.
•
•
•
does not want to allow trash containers to be stored in front of the
homes. They also feel that the small recycle bins do not work to
keep the trash/recycling from blowing. She would like to have
the community surveyed to see what their recommendations are
because she does not feel like the residents are invested in keeping
the community clean. She would like to have the community use
“blue bags” for recycling instead of clear or white bags or the
recycling bins. The resident will send her survey question ideas to
Jeremy and the Board for review.
Abandonment of Old Shellhorn Road (Route 643) Easement
– A motion passed (7/0/0/0) to approve the abandonment of the
Shellhorn Road easement. The property will be gifted to the Association, and there will be no maintenance needed.

Cushman has proposed increasing the rental fee for the DeLong
Room, in order to pay for the cleaning of the room after each
rental by a professional cleaning service. A motion was made to
approve the Resolution #04052016, including the increase for
equipment fees. It is expected that the cleaning fee may increase
substantially when staff is no longer doing the work. The motion
will be tabled until proposals can be received.
