THE MONTCLAIRION • MARCH 2015


President’s Message Here’s another item addressing the revised state regulations applicable to Lake Montclair. We recently updated Montclair’s Emergency Action Plan (EAP) as required. Among other things, this plan shows the actions and responsibilities for protecting the residents, structures, etc. downstream from Lake Montclair’s dam in the event of any dam failure. A meeting with state and county officials is being arranged. A copy of the revised and state approved EAP will be provided to the county zoning officials at that time. The revised state dam regulations require the county share in the responsibility for any damage to items approved for placement in the flow area shown in Montclair’s current inundation plan after receipt of Montclair’s revised EAP. Again let me emphasize your dam is properly maintained and frequently inspected. These inspections include the inside of the 135-foot outflow pipe and the gate located at the end of the pipe at the bottom of the lake 54 feet below the lake surface. The concrete structure you see at the dam with its gate opening

Ned Greene, President

mechanism is tested and inspected from top to bottom 60 feet down. This area is the most critical component of the dam. And the earthen part of the dam also gets close attention. Tom, Heather, Buck and I attended another state sponsored dam workshop in preparing to address any alterations to Montclair’s alternative spillway determined necessary after the state review of it’s probable maximum precipitation (PMP) requirements. Delegate Scott Lingamfelter issued a response with an update on the PMP requirements, which can be found on page 6. Scott, thank you for all the meetings and time that you’ve spent with us in addressing this important situation in Montclair. Thank you for your continued support of the community of Montclair in the many messages you have taken forward on our behalf. Your advice is always valued. Prince William County Police arrested two individuals for the mailbox vandalism. Make sure that Officer Kim Chinn is aware of the other vandal activities including the auto windows shot with BB guns and the theft from autos. Your reports are necessary as the officers investigate the rash of petty crimes in our community. Others could be involved. As justice is addressed and a price is paid hopefully those involved in these crimes will be receptive to the counseling and dedicated efforts by those professionals trained to help redirect wayward teens. Bill and Marie are preparing safety programs presenting things we can do to discourage these crimes and protect our families and property. This community has come together remarkably providing assistance and love to a family confronted with the loss of their home and contents resulting from a devastating fire. Thanks to those that lead our desires to help, and a special thanks to Connie. Don’t believe the groundhog - spring and all of Montclair’s beauty will be bursting out shortly. In the meantime, I am turning up the heat.

Do you have other experience that would contribute to your success as a board member? Professionally, I have served on a variety of interagency boards and working groups.

I am not one to sit back, whine, and complain about things that need to get fixed.

Give a brief statement of views on what you feel you can contribute to the community and what you would like to see done in Montclair. There are several issues I would like to address. The volume of traffic on Waterway, the need for better crosswalks at the schools, and the security of our neighborhoods are primary issues. The dam issue needs to be resolved, and I am concerned about the increase in traffic and noise from 234. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10

THE MONTCLAIRION • MARCH 2015


No Dogs on Montclair Beaches MPOA Guidelines prohibit dogs on beaches in Montclair primarily because pet waste contributes to degradation of water quality and introduces risks to human health. There are many incidents of dog owners either leaving dog feces on the beach; covering it up with sand (even worse because a child could dig it up unknowingly); or throwing it into the lake. There have been instances of unleashed dogs running well ahead of their owners on the beach or in common areas abutting the lake where owners cannot see what their dogs are doing.

Probably the greatest health concerns associated with feces are pathogens. Many of these pathogens can infect humans if ingested. Organisms such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia, and Salmonella can induce symptoms ranging from skin sores to chest pain. E. coli, which causes diarrhea and abdominal gas, has been the source of disease outbreaks in several states. Dog feces often contain roundworms and other parasitic nematodes. Infection by just a few roundworms usually causes no problems, but more severe infections may cause fevers, bronchitis, asthma, or vision problems.

The health of residents, especially small children digging in the sand, far outweighs the inconvenience of not walking ones dog on the beach. Keeping the water and sand clean for all to enjoy is everyone’s responsibility. Lake Management Committee The Lake Management Committee meets on the third Monday of each month, 7:30 p.m. at the MPOA office.

Annual Inspections to Begin The Covenants Department will be performing Annual Inspections beginning in late March. The purpose of annual inspections is to help improve on the enforcement of the MPOA Declarations and Guidelines. Regular inspections are also key to maintaining property values and to keep Montclair a pleasant and beautiful neighborhood for all residents to enjoy. The process entails a detailed inspection of the entire property for every home and lot. With nearly 4,000 homes in Montclair, this process can last through the fall. What is the process for Annual Inspections? When inspections begin, Covenants Inspectors will walk every street in Montclair inspecting each individual home and lot. Any items found to be in violation of the community’s covenants will be noted and the owner will be sent a Notice of Non-Compliance. This letter will provide the owner the nature of the violation and two weeks to correct the violation. If the violation has not been corrected within two weeks, the Covenants Inspector will return to reinspect and a second

Notice of Non-Compliance will be issued. At that time, the owner will have two weeks to correct the violation. If the violation still has not been corrected, the inspector will issue a third Notice of Non-Compliance, known as a Hearing Opportunity. Owners will have the opportunity to request, in writing, a hearing before the Board of Directors to discuss their violation. If a homeowner chooses to waive the Hearing Opportunity with the Board, fines may be assessed if the violation remains uncorrected. Extensions for correction of violations are considered on a case-by-case basis. If you have any questions about your letter, please call our office at (703) 670-6187. Will someone be on my property? Covenants Inspectors, Bridget Geiger and Jon Bradford, as well as Covenants Manager, Kristie Upperman, will be on homeowners’ property conducting Annual Inspections. Inspectors will perform most inspections from public areas, but have the right to go onto property to evaluate potential violations. Before entering rear yards, inspectors will first notify the resident. All Covenants Staff members are assigned specific MPOA shirts

and will be wearing identification badges. If you have any questions regarding inspections or notices, they are available to assist you. Preparing Your Home Article 5 of the Community Guidelines is available for download at MontclairVA.com and contains information on what items are and are not permitted and what can be considered a violation. Some of the most common violations can be addressed prior to Annual Inspections to prevent receiving a violation notice: • Check for mold, dirt, or other discoloration on siding and gutters; • Inspect all window, door, and other miscellaneous wood trim for mold, discoloration, or rot; • Make sure trash and recycling containers are stored out of public view, except on trash days; • Prune any overgrown landscaping and, in the warmer months, cut grass regularly; • Keep all items on the entire property stored in a neat and orderly fashion; • Ensure that house numbers are affixed to both the mailbox and the house. Website & Facebook Updates Be sure to look out for Annual Inspection updates on the MPOA Facebook page and website. We will be posting a week-by-week schedule to indicate which streets will be inspected, weather permitting.

Scouting

Boy Scout Troop 35 By Aidan Clarke, Troop Scribe February is the time for love, romance and chocolates, but not for the scouts of Troop 35. It was time for some cold, hard, fun camping. February 13th-15th was the Valley Forge Encampment. The scouts hiked and reenacted the turning point of the Revolutionary War. They did all this in the freezing cold weather (but probably not as cold as it was back then, because we have more modern conveniences for camping in cold weather). The following day, February 16th, was Presidents’ Day. Remembering amazing leaders, after reenacting a turning point in history, made for a great end to the weekend.

Community Yard Sale is scheduled for April – perfect timing for Spring Cleaning !! Stay tuned for details on how to sign up for a space.

On February 21st, the scouts completed an activity that lead up to their favorite thing, MULCH!!! To be exact, mulch flyer delivery. The scouts delivered the mulch flyers to the Montclair community announcing the next opportunity for supporting the biannual fundraiser with Troop 189. Mulch delivery is scheduled for March 21st, so don’t forget to send in your order.

All residents within the local & surrounding community are welcome to join the Pattie PTCO Facebook Group to keep abreast of school events and so local residents can help to support our school – attending Spirit Nights

Troop 35 ended the month with respectful service to the country by collecting flags. They helped collect old American Flags at the landfill’s Flag Drop project. The flags were collected so that they may be retired in

Semper K9 Assistance Dogs Semper K9 Assistance Dogs, a local nonprofit in Prince William County, is currently looking for candidates in need of a service dog. Semper K9 provides Assisted-Living K9s for wounded, critically-ill and injured members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. They are also looking for ideal canine candidates to become service dogs in training. “We are in the process of obtaining our 501c3 status from the IRS,” says Christopher Baity, Semper K9’s Executive Director. “During this waiting period we will begin training and preparing our program for success.” Semper K9 Assistance Dogs will focus on finding ‘rescue dogs’ from various organizations throughout the United States to give these unclaimed K9s a new leash on life and allow them to help a service member. They are looking for dogs that will meet certain requirements to enter their training program. A list of these requirements can be found on their website, www.SemperK9.org.

Semper K9 Assistance Dogs currently has a GoFundMe account as well as an Amazon. com wish list to assist them with training and supplies. They help qualifying post 9/11 Marines, Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen, and reservists with amputations, spinal cord injuries, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), severe Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), burns, blindness, other physical injuries, or those suffering from life-threatening illnesses. Interested applicants can submit a needs assessment form under “Apply For A Service Dog” on their website. “There are a lot of organizations like us throughout the country; however we are trying to keep our efforts as local as possible while rescuing dogs in the process.” To find out more about Semper K9 Assistance Dogs, including how to apply for a service dog or how to donate future service dogs, services or supplies, please visit their website at www. SemperK9.org.

“It takes at minimum 6-9 months to train a young adult dog to become a service dog. This gives us time to locate and match a service member with their future service dog, who’s training is tailored to meet the new handler’s specific needs.” stated Baity who is a veteran Marine Corps dog handler and kennel master. With 6 overseas deployments during his eight year career, Baity recognizes the overwhelming need for help of veterans suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD).

Supervisor Caddigan’s Message Dear Montclair Neighbors, Dam Safety There are serious concerns about Dam Safety regulations as they pertain to Lake Montclair. Marc Aveni, Chief of our Environmental Services Division has responded to these concerns and the regulation’s impact on our dam. The Virginia Dam Safety Act was last revised by the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board in 2012. That revision increased dam safety certification regulations state-wide with no provision for “grandfathering” older dams. Prince William County, during the public comment period for these regulations, expressed concerns similar to those by the MPOA and Montclair residents. The regulations were subsequently passed by the General Assembly. The MPOA has been in discussion with Delegate Lingamfelter seeking his assistance. It has been suggested by Mr. Aveni that grant opportunities available through the Department of Conservation and Recreation be explored to provide assistance in upgrading the dam to current standards. This subject is extremely important to all of us and I will continue to monitor it along with our homeowners association. Secondary Road Maintenance The Board of County Supervisors held a joint meeting with our delegation in December. During that meeting I shared with the delegates the need for maintenance of our secondary roads. Delegate Lingamfelter and Senator Barker subsequently submitted bills (HB1407 and SB1274) that would increase available funding for secondary road maintenance. The County’s Legislative Director, Tracy Gordon, in a memo dated January 28th has conveyed to the Board of Supervisors “good news” concerning one of the county’s top priorities for the 2015 session of the General Assembly. The Supervisors visited our delegation in Richmond on February 5th. Results of this visit are available on my web page, on Facebook and through one of my E-Grams.

Maureen Caddigan Potomac District Supervisor

Eagle Scouts On December 9th James ( Jimmy) Young and Benjamin Arrighi received the highest level of scouting achievement and were awarded the rank of Eagle Scout. Both boys are residents of Montclair and I was proud to attend their Court of Honor Ceremony and present them with a commendation from the Board of Supervisors expressing our admiration for their years of service to scouting and the community. These two young men have bright futures and are our future leaders. Contact You can always receive updated information through my web page at www.potomacdistrict.com, my E-Grams or through Facebook. My telephone number is 703-792-4645 and email mcaddigan@pwcgov.org. As always I encourage you to let me know of your concerns and encourage you to share your thoughts.
