Is Your Facilities Pass
Ready for Pool Season?
The Kingstowne pools will open May 26–are you
ready? Review this simple checklist and make
certain you are ready to be first in line when warm
weather hits. For pool rules, see page 13.
1. Do you have a facilities pass?
If yes, skip to question 3. If no, go to question 2.
2. Do you know where to get them?
Facilities passes, which allow unlimited personal
use of the fitness centers and pools, are issued
without charge to Kingstowne residents only at
the Thompson Center business office (not at the
swimming pools) during its normal business hours.
Passes issued to property owners automatically
remain valid and do not need to be renewed for use
in 2012, except that renters’ passes become invalid
on the date of lease expiration on file in the business
office. To ensure continued access to recreational
facilities, renters must bring a copy of their latest

not, please bring a copy of the latest lease to the
business office, both to obtain the passes and to

PLEASE
CLEAN UP
AFTER
YOUR PET
One-year-olds need facilities passes, too.
6. Do you have children 12 years or older?
They need their pictures on their passes. The photo
identification means they can go to the pool unsupervised.
7. Does your property have ARC violations?
Pool privileges may be suspended by the KROC
Board of Trustees if the owner’s property has current ARC violations.
8. Are your assessments current?
Pool privileges may be suspended by the KROC
Board of Trustees if assessment payments are delinquent for two months.
9. Can you bring guests?
Do I have to stay with my guests?
Absolutely and absolutely. The resident must
purchase guest passes online (see page 9 for information) or at the business office. The only way guests
may remain in the pool area is that the resident host
remains with them.
10. May children use the pool?
Children 11 years of age and under must be accompanied by a responsible person, 16 years of age or
older, while in the pool area. Groups of children
who are under 10 years of age must be accompanied by one adult, 21 years of age or older, for every
group of four or fraction thereof to be admitted to
the pool area.

2012 Pool Rules
The “official” pool rules are posted on the

they say in language that can be remembered. The rules pertain to both pool
facilities. Following these guidelines

enjoyable experience at the pools. Please
take a few minutes to review them with
the family.

Springtime Look at Your Yard
Every home in Kingstowne had
a landscape bed with foundation
plants when it was new. Over the
years, the original plants may have
died or become overgrown and that
landscaping is no longer as attractive as it was when it was new. Answer these questions as you inspect
your yard and landscaping.
• Have plants died and
not been replaced?
The dead or missing plants should
be replaced. Consider installing
evergreens so the landscaping is
attractive all year round.
• Are your plants overgrown?
Does 50% of the plant appear to be
dead?
Shrubbery needs to be trimmed to
maintain its shape. A rule of thumb
is to keep your shrubbery trimmed
Page 14
Kingstonian
May 2012
below the windows. As shrubbery
matures, it is normal for some areas
to eventually die off. When a plant
is 50% dead, it is time to replace
the plant.
• What is the condition
of your stone edging
and/or retaining wall?
Edging and retaining walls need
annual maintenance to keep them
structurally sound. They should
have a professional appearance and
should not be falling apart. Well
maintained edging and retaining
walls can enhance the landscaping
but only if it is in good condition.
• What is the condition
of the trees on your
property? Do they need
to be trimmed or removed?
Make sure the branches of the tree
in your front yard do not encroach
on the common sidewalk. If you
have an aging tree such as a Bradford Pear and Leyland Cypress, you
may want a landscape professional
to inspect the tree to make sure it is
not a liability. Removing a large tree
can be expensive. Spring time is a
good time to take inventory of the
trees and shrubs in your yard and
plan for expenses such as large tree
removal. Remember tree removal
requires Architectural Review Committee approval.
Great Examples of Lovely
Yards on Every Block!
Well maintained landscaping enhances the curb appeal of a home
and the entire neighborhood. There
are great examples of well-maintained yards on every block. Take
a walk and steal some ideas for
your home.

A Call for Memories
Attention history buffs!
KROC will be celebrating
Kingstowne’s 30th
anniversary in 2015.
In preparation, the Board
of Trustees has begun
the search for items to
document our community’s
history.
We are looking for
newspaper articles,
photos, stories, or any
other items chronicling
Kingstowne’s history and
growth. Please contact
the KROC Business Office
via email at kingstowne@
kingstowne.org or call
703-922-9477 if you
have any materials you
could share with KROC.

Minor Amendment Adopted to
Privacy Screening Guideline
The Board of Trustees have adopted a minor amendment to the privacy screening guideline. This
amendment clarifies the intent of the guideline to
apply to both single family homes and townhouses
and to incorporate the use of composite material in
the construction of screening.
The adopted amendment follows. The amended
portions are in bold and italics.
PRIVACY SCREENING: Privacy screening
for elevated decks must be constructed only of
cedar, redwood, or pressure treated lumber, either
of framed alternating board-on-board construction
identical to that of ground level town home fences,
or consisting of heavy duty three quarter (3/4”)
lattice-framed 2 inch by 4 inch (2” x 4”) lumber or
composite material. Privacy screening composed of
both wood and composite material must be a single
color matching the color of the deck.
Screening must extend upwards from the walking
surface of the deck, except for lattice-framed screening, which may be affixed to the top of deck railings.
Screening height must be a uniform six feet (6’)
above the enclosed walking surface, or the height
of screening constructed by the builder, whichever
is greater, except that a 45 degree corner bevel is
permitted at the ends of side screens furthest from
the house. Lesser heights are permissible for latticeframed screening affixed to deck rails. To protect
adjacent neighbors’ sight lines, town homeowners
may not screen the rear of their decks, nor install
side screening which extends more than eight feet
(8’) from the rear wall of the house. Variances may
be granted if the application includes a description
of extenuating circumstances.
The screening across the back of this deck could be approved
with a variance if there were special circumstances.
Screening can provide privacy from
neighbors, streets, and parking areas.

Spring Community Yard Sale–Sat. May 5
Newcastle resident Russ Peter, in a neighbor’s Dunman Way garden, works hard
to keep it looking great for all to enjoy!
This is the time to clean out your garage, attic, basement, and your
bedroom closet. This is one of two authorized yard sales in this community, the other being in the fall. The association will publish these
events in the Washington Post and the local periodicals.
Dumbarton Spring Clean
Up and Potluck–May 12
The Annual Community Yard Sale will be held on Saturday, May 5,
8 A.M. until 5 P.M. (Rain date-Sunday, May 6, 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.)
If you would like to post other signs for your sale, please make sure
they are removed at the end of the day (5 P.M.). Residents may place
their sale items along Summer Ridge Road, Kingstowne Commons
Drive, Park Village Drive, Lake Village Drive, Greendale Village
Drive, Horgan Court and Castlewellan Drive. Please remember,
Community Centers and the surrounding areas are not authorized
sale areas-there may be paid events occurring during this time.
Good luck and have fun!
The HOA does not maintain the naturalized areas of Kingstowne. We all either
have naturalized areas in our back yards
or at the end of our streets. If you walk
around you will see a lot of trash in the
naturalized areas. I know we all want
our neighborhood to look good. Therefore, I hope you will participate in the
Dumbarton spring clean up on Saturday,
May 12, 3 P.M.
After the clean up, we will have a
neighborhood potluck at 5 P.M. The
meat will be provided. We will need attendees to bring a side dish, dessert, sodas, etc. For further information, please

Redevelopment of Older Commercial and Industrial Areas
Much of Fairfax County’s future will be redevelopment of
our older commercial and industrial areas. In June of 2010 the
Board of Supervisors approved a new Comprehensive Plan
for the redevelopment of Tysons Corner. Despite the severe
economic downturn, over a dozen applications have been
working their way through the pipeline.
The Transforming of Tysons, to include four new Metro Stations, will be a long-term redevelopment process. To keep
up-to-date on what is happening in Tysons, you can visit the
Fairfax County Website at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/
tysons/.
The Evolution of Fairfax
To those of you who may be wondering what the fascination
is with Tysons–or for those of you are fascinated and want to
hear more–I hope you will save the following dates in June for
my upcoming series The Evolution of Fairfax that I think you
will enjoy: Wednesday, 7:30-9:30 P.M. June 13, 20 and 27, location still to be determined. The series will track the history of
growth and development in Fairfax County and will conclude
with a collective peek into our county’s future – where are we
going? Where do we want to be? I’m really excited about this
series and hope you will be able to join me!

2050 Countywide Transit Network Study
The Fairfax County Department of Transportation has
launched its 2050 Countywide Transit Network Study to determine the type of transit systems needed to accommodate
desired economic growth throughout the county over the next
several decades. The study will develop recommendations
for where Metrorail should be extended, where streetcars,
light-rail or other transit modes are appropriate, and where
dedicated lanes that allow buses to move faster could be built.
The study will recommend transit improvements in various
corridors that work together to improve/facilitate movement
throughout the county, as well as how these transit modes can
be phased-in and funded over time.
To participate in the 2050 Countywide Transit Network Study
survey, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fcdot/2050transitstudy.
There will be additional opportunities for public involvement
throughout the duration of the study. The study is anticipated
to take approximately 18 months, with an estimated completion of Summer 2013.

Message from
Lee Dist. Supv. McKay
Report from
Sen. Barker’s Office
Jeff C. McKay, Lee District Supervisor
George Barker, Senator, 39th District
When I was growing up in Lee District, Springfield Mall was
a modern retail center with stores like Garfinkels and W. Bell
Company. I spent a lot of time there and have fond memories.
Times changed; other malls were developed and redeveloped,
yet Springfield Mall’s 80 acres of stores and restaurants remained
fixed in time with an absentee owner who saw no reason to invest
in his property. The results were predictable–B-list retailers, less
than adequate security, and customers who preferred to spend
their retail dollars at Tysons, Pentagon City–any place that wasn’t
Springfield Mall.
With the partisan debate over the state budget still underway (although possibly resolved by the time this
goes to print), and with what promises to be a contentious campaign season in front of us, I thought it beneficial to share a story about one of my bills this year.
This is a bipartisan story.
We’ve been waiting–since 2006 when Vornado originally put the
mall under contract; since 2009 when Fairfax County approved its
development plan; through the end of 2010 when Vornado finally
purchased the property outright. The great recession did its part
to slow things down. The county has expedited every element
of the mall project; it’s been the private sector that has not acted.
Finally, it looks like our waiting is over and construction is about
to begin.
Tenants–with the exceptions of the anchors Macy’s, Target, and J.
C. Penny–have been given three months’ notice to vacate to make
way for a full renovation of the mall to begin this summer. The
first phase will take about two years and will completely redo
the interior of the mall, including a movie theater, food court and
one central entrance instead of the confusing multiple entrances
of the old mall. Later phases of the renovation will complete the
town center with a mix of retail and commercial uses, a hotel,
pedestrian plazas, and recreational facilities. Transportation and
pedestrian improvements are key parts of this renovation.
This is the most important redevelopment project in Springfield.
I’m pleased that it’s finally moving forward and I’ve already pulled
together a county team to ensure that Vornado moves through the
county’s final permitting process as quickly as possible.
I’m looking forward to two Christmases from now when my children will be sitting on Santa’s lap at a revitalized Springfield Mall.

I introduced SB 217 on the first day of session, and it
didn’t pass until the final day—the closing hours of
the final day, actually. The bill would make it easier for
children living in kinship care arrangements to attend
the school district where they live. As a proud foster
parent myself, I know how important it is for a child to
grow up in a loving home, and when there is a family
member in the picture, that’s often the best place for
the child to be.
Opponents of this legislation contended that easing
this process could lead to school shopping. They said
that parents would send their children to live with
grandma, because grandma lived in a county with a
better school system. We addressed this concern, but
in order to get the bill passed and help the children
across the Commonwealth who needed help as soon as
possible, it was clear that we would need a broad and
bipartisan coalition behind it.
The Senate passed SB217 on a 23-17 vote; voting yes
were five Republicans. Debate continued in the House
of
Delegates,
but there the bill
passed
86-14;
voting yes was
nearly every single Republican
R.E. LEE HIGH SCHOOL
and Democrat.

The story goes
on from there,
but the point
that I want to
highlight is that
in spite of what
we read in the
papers, and as
much as we disagree with those
of the opposite
political party,
it is possible to
work together.
