Summer-Ready
Decks and Patios
It is that wonderful time of year again, the time for backyard picnics
and barbecues. Decks and patios have become a vital part of homes.
Whether it is a place to catch a breeze or to host the “10th Annual
Smith Family Backyard Bash,” decks and patios get a lot of traffic
during the warmer months. Before you get the planning team
together, make sure to perform routine maintenance and check for
structural soundness, especially if you have an elevated deck.
n Check for signs of rot and replace any floorboards or posts that
appear affected.
TIP: Areas of rot that are no bigger than a silver dollar can be
removed with a chisel, and the hole can be treated with wood
preservative. Larger areas may require the structural member to
be replaced.
n Check for wobbling posts and railings. Look for cracks that, over
time, may have developed around fasteners, such as nails or
screws.
TIP: Loose connections can be fixed by drilling pilot holes and
adding galvanized lag screws.
n Make sure to inspect all the hardware underneath, especially joist
hangers, and replace any that are severely rusted. Check for signs
of rot on the posts and joists.
TIP: If the framing can’t be easily removed and replaced, reinforce
it. For example, if a joist shows areas of rot, add a splint of
comparable pressure-treated lumber alongside it attached with
two or three 3-inch deck screws every 12 inches. Then chisel away
the rotten area and paint the raw wood with preservative.
n Patio structures are easier to maintain thaºn decks, but they still
require routine maintenance such as checking for loose pavers and
cleaning the structure.
TIP: Hose off the patio and scrub stains using a detergent such as
dishwashing liquid. To remove dark brown or black spots on patios
in shady or damp areas, scrub with a solution of bleach and water.
This method will help remove moss, mold, and mildew. Never
use a wire brush on concrete patio as it can leave rust stains and
scratch the surface.
Deck and patio maintenance will protect your investment, help
predict future maintenance and repairs, and make those summer
backyard activities more enjoyable.

Proposed Guideline Amendments – Signs
Photos by Ashley Jo
ord
hnson, Covenants Co
inator
Public Hearing Set for May 20 at 6:45 P.M.
Signs, Signs, Everywhere
Currently, the community signage
guideline addresses real estate signs.
Residents have shown a need to place
signs for security, solicitation, yard
maintenance, etc. As a result, the
Architectural Review Committee has
made the following recommendation
to the Board of Trustees to amend the
sign guideline.
Proposed Amendments to
Sign Standard Guidelines
• Residents may only install signs on
their own lot.
• Signs advertising businesses,
either home-based or off-site, are
prohibited. This includes contractor
signs.
• Signs must be self-supporting.
No sign shall be attached to any
structures, fences, traffic posts,
Kingstowne owned sign posts
in common grounds, trees, or
mailboxes.
• All signage must be maintained
in an orderly manner and in good
condition at all times.
• Any temporary sign, other than
real estate, shall be removed upon
termination of the purpose (e.g.,
after the yard sale, etc.) and shall
be limited to fourteen (14) days,
unless the sign is for a political
campaign. Political signs may be
displayed (a) 30 days before the
primary election, general election
or vote on the proposition and up
to (b) seven days after the primary
election, general election, or vote
on the proposition per state law.
• Real Estate Signs: Only signs
advertising a property for sale or
rent may be displayed. Such signs
must meet applicable county
regulations with respect to size,
content, and removal. Signs may
only be placed in the front yard of
available properties and removed
once the property is sold.
• Security Signs: Each property is
allowed to post up to 2 security
signs, each not exceeding 64 square
inches. Only one such sign may
be posted forward of the front
plane of the home. The approved
location shall be at or near the
front entrance. A second sign may
be posted at the rear of the home.
Signs shall be located within 10 ft.
to the immediate left or right of the
front or rear entrance and no more
than 2 feet forward on the front
plane of the dwelling.
Public Hearing Is May 20
Comments regarding the proposed
revisions to the signage guidelines
can be submitted to kingstowne@
kingstowne.org or residents can
present comments in person at the
public hearing on May 20, at 6:45 P.M.,
in the Thompson Center Board Room,
2nd floor.

Windermere Diversity Potluck Dinner
On March 7, the Windermere neighborhood
held its first “diversity” potluck dinner
at the South Center. Attendance was
very high with 45 guests. Many families
contributed their favorite dishes from their
US home states or countries of origin. It
was quite a treat to try a gourmet feast
featuring American fare stretching all
the way from Louisiana to Pennsylvania;
delicious Italian specialties prepared by
our military neighbors formerly stationed
overseas; and Asian dishes with exotic
spices. We even had an amazing and
exquisite coffee ceremony from Eritrea.
Special thanks to our skilled chefs for
their creativity!
Windermere also extends well deserved
appreciation to our energetic event
organizers and also to the many friends
who cooperated with so many aspects of
the potluck.
After the event, many compliments
were received by the NAB
representatives from guests who
especially enjoyed the celebration of
the diversity of our culinary and cultural
backgrounds. Special mention was
made by many on how they enjoyed the
opportunity to rekindle old friendships
and make new ones. Windermere looks
forward to the next event later on this
year.

Local Gov’t Reports
Monthly Report
from Chairman Bulova
Sharon Bulova, Chairman,
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors
703-324-2321; [email protected]
Budget
Fairfax County staff is preparing for a comprehensive Lines
of Business Review beginning January 2016. This examines
programs and services Fairfax County provides with an eye
toward rightsizing services with a revenue stream that has
never recovered from pre-recession years. The challenge is
to maintain the quality making Fairfax County a desirable
place to live, work, and play.
It will be important to have the community at the table
with us as recommendations are being considered by the
Board of Supervisors.
John Geer
A critical incident that I believe presents us with an
opportunity was Fairfax County’s response to the police
involved shooting death of John Geer. The release of
information in this situation took entirely too long.
Additionally, the process for determining if charges will be
filed encountered conflict instead of cooperation among
the agencies responsible for this decision.
These issues are being addressed, but I believe we have an
opportunity here to make improvements to our policies
and practices involving critical police involved incidents.
On March 3, the Board of Supervisors endorsed my motion
for the creation of an Ad Hoc Police Practices Review

Commission. This 38-member body met for the first time
on March 23, and mapped out their expectations for the
work and results for the commission.
Commission members were selected based on specific
backgrounds and skills in the areas of law, media, law
enforcement, and academia. Additional opportunities for
broader community engagement will be
included in the commission’s work plan. The
commission is chaired by Michael Hershman,
one of our two citizen members of our
Board’s Audit Committee. Mr. Hershman is an
internationally recognized expert on matters
relating to transparency, accountability,
governance, litigation, and security.
Alternatives to Incarceration
Lastly, I am working with Sheriff Stacey
Kincaid, Police Chief Roessler, Fire & Rescue
Chief Bowers, Community Services Board
Director Tisha Deeghan and the Reverend
Jennifer McKenzie to consider alternatives
to incarceration for individuals with mental
illness who have committed a non-violent
crime. Other jurisdictions in Virginia and
the region have established jail diversion
programs and facilities for the mentally ill.
Fairfax County should as well.

Commitment to Veterans
Watch Out for the “Pothole Killer”
Virginia has a strong commitment to veterans. We have one of
the highest percentages of veterans and are one of the few states
where the veteran population is still growing.
Governor McAuliffe is one of a few governors who have committed
to end veteran homelessness by Veterans Day this year. I am one of
a half-dozen legislators who signed on to help the administration in
this effort and to support funding necessary to make this happen.
Already, veteran homelessness has been dramatically reduced, and
I am confident we will achieve our goal.
Building on that initiative, I helped Senator Toddy Puller on bills
to create two veteran care centers, one in northern Virginia.
Virginia has only two veteran care centers, which provide nursing
home level care to veterans, located in Richmond and Salem on
VA hospital campuses. The two places with the most veterans,
northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, currently do not have
centers.
Senator Puller’s bills provided one-third of the funding to construct
centers there, with the remainder requested from the Veterans
Administration. When Senator Puller broke her elbow and had to
miss much of the 2015 session, I took responsibility for her bills and
led the Senate team in the conference committee, ensuring that
development was not slowed or jeopardized.
The governor, working with Virginia Veterans and Defense Affairs
Secretary Admiral John Harvey, amended the bills to expedite the
process and to ensure that the centers are built using state money
if we cannot get federal funding. The northern Virginia center
probably will be built in Prince William. The county is moving to
donate the land, which should get the project moving forward.
We will build a 120-bed facility, with the potential to double to 240
beds. Although the facilities will be built by the state, the federal
Veterans Administration will operate them. This is just one step of
many that Virginia is taking to thank our veterans for their service
to our country.
Winter is finally over and I am excited about the warm weather and
am anxious to get back on my bicycle. Unfortunately, the winter
storms have left us with some severely damaged roads. I personally
have been the victim of a manhole-sized pothole, and we have heard
from many of you about the condition of the roads you travel as well.
Now that the weather has cleared up, the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) is working on the problem. Road crews filled
more than 10,000 potholes across northern Virginia in March alone.
Fortunately, this year our area will be seeing considerable work as
the 2013 state transportation package is generating new revenues.
These new revenues were desperately needed in order to meet
our rapidly expanding infrastructure needs, and to restore VDOT’s
purchasing power by diversifying funding sources that were last
adjusted in 1986.
VDOT now has a budget of $168 million for repaving existing roads
across our region. This includes 31 lane miles of interstates, almost
50 lane miles of primary routes, as well as extensive paving on
secondary roads and neighborhood streets, totaling almost 1,000
lane miles. Crews are also extending the life of more than 110 lane
miles with preventative maintenance such as latex and sealing.
As mentioned, my office has received several complaints about
the condition of the roads and we have been working with VDOT
to ensure that the worst roads in the 43rd District are getting the
attention they deserve. VDOT is now committed to adding South Van
Dorn Street, Kingstowne Village Parkway, and sections of Franconia
Road as top priorities in our area for this year.
Please help us identify other areas that need attention by reporting
potholes directly to my office through my website (www.marksickles.
com) or by email ([email protected]). Potholes can
also be reported to VDOT online (www.virginiadot.org/travel/citizen.
asp) or to operators 24/7 at VDOT’s Customer Service Center at 800–
FOR-ROAD (367-7623). TTY users, call 711.

2015 World Police and Fire Games
Pull out your summer calendars and mark June 26 through July
5. Fairfax County is hosting the second largest international
sporting event—the 2015 World Police and Fire Games. These
biennial games were established in 1985. Montreal, Canada,
will host the 2017 games, and Chengdu, China, is the 2019
venue. You can find out more at http://fairfax2015.com/.
The World Police and Fire Games showcase the athletic talent
of first responders from around the world. We’re expecting
12,000 public safety athletes from 70 countries to compete in
61 sports and 1,600 sporting events. The games will take place
in 53 locations throughout Fairfax County and the National
Capital Region, and I’m really excited that our own Springfield
Town Center will be the venue for the Ultimate Firefighter

And by the way, the World Police and Fire
Games are more than just games. With more
than 30,000 games participants and visitors
expected to come to Fairfax County, stay in
our hotels, dine, and shop, there’s some good
economic news for the county. Hosting these
games is a real win for our bottom line. The
positive economic impact is estimated to be in
the range of $60-$80 million in revenue while
the cost is estimated at $20 million. Many
corporate sponsors, such as INOVA Health
Systems, SAIC, and Northrop Grumman, will
help to offset some of that cost.
