as president for 2015.
Jeanne McCarroll joined the Board
in 2006. She will continue as the
secretary/treasurer into the new year.

Trash Removal Holiday Changes
If you usually have trash removed on Thursdays, please keep in mind trash is not
collected Thursday, New Year’s Day (Jan. 1). The trash will be picked up on the
next regularly scheduled pickup day, which is a Monday. Please help spread
the word, so everyone can spend these holidays resting—and not looking into a
street lined with trash bags and recycling bins.
If weather conditions prevent the safe collection of curbside garbage or recycling,
please remove your waste from the street by the end of the day. On your next
regularly scheduled collection day, up to two times the regular amount of waste
will be collected at no extra charge. Place extra garbage in securely tied plastic
bags, labeled, “GARBAGE” next to your usual garbage can.
When in doubt, please check www.
kingstowne.org to see whether waste
removal has been delayed or cancelled.
Yard Debris
and Holiday Trees
Yard debris pickup ended December
24. Holiday trees can be left at the curb
for a special tree pickup the first two
Wednesdays in January, Jan. 7 and 14.
Please remove all decorations from the
trees before leaving at the curb.

Refinancing Your Home?
If your lender or financial institution
requests a “Lender PUD Questionnaire”
or “Insurance Declaration page,” please
visit www.condocerts.com. If you require
specific wording on the KROC Insurance
Declaration page, please contact www.
EOIDIRECT.com as CondoCerts will not
be able to provide that service. Currently,
these are the only available ways to
obtain these documents. A fee is charged
by both companies.
What to Bring:
Tenants: Photo ID and current lease. Facilities
passes will only be issued to residents named
on the lease. Passes will automatically be
cancelled at the end of the lease term. A
new lease must be presented at the business
office to update the passes.
New Homeowners: Photo ID and the HUD1
settlement paper. Homeowners will need to
authorize other residents of the household
to receive passes. This can be done in person
or in writing. (Homeowners do not need to
renew their passes.)
Homeowners with a Facilities Pass: No need
to update your facilities pass unless you
lose it or the information you provided has
changed.
Safety First This Winter
Please do not sled or ski near roads. Help
prevent accidents by reminding friends
and family to avoid roads, ponds, and
construction sites.
For updates on local land use projects,
visit www.kingstowne.org, click on the
“Resident Resources” drop-down menu,
and select the “Community Information”
section. Then click on “Land Use & New

Why Do I Need a Facilities Pass?
A valid facilities pass is needed to access
the fitness centers and some residentonly events. If you are renting a home
in Kingstowne, or if your personal
information has changed, please stop
by the KROC Business Office to update
your facilities pass. The office is open
9-5:30 weekdays and until 8 P.M. every
Wednesday. All residents age one and
over must have a facilities pass, and those
who are age 12 and over must have their

Recycling After

Holiday Trash vs. Recycling
The holiday season can generate a lot of trash from shipping boxes to
wrapping paper to pretty bows. It may be easier to just throw it all in
the trash, but please take some time to recycle those items that can be
processed through the recycling center.
Christmas morning–children excitedly open their gifts...
Know What’s Good to Go and What’s Not
Did you know that laminated and coated gift bags cannot be recycled, yet
sparkly wrapping paper can? Be in the know!
Plain or sparkly wrapping paper, tissue paper, holiday cards, and plain paper
gift bags are always accepted at the recycling center.
Ribbons, bows, coated gift bags, cellophane, and packing peanuts cannot
be recycled, so please dispose of them with your regular trash, or better
yet, reuse them!
Recycle all boxes whether they are gift, shoe, or shipping boxes—but not
plastic shipping bags. These can be recycled with your grocery bags at your
local food store.
Soon, paper, ribbons,and boxes are scattered about...
Combined Material
Do you ever wonder what to do with the packaging that’s a combination
of plastic and cardboard? Simply separate the two materials and put the
cardboard in your recycling bin; throw the plastic window portion in the
trash. In order to recycle these types of packages, please take some time to
separate.
Even the Tree!
Last year’s brown holiday tree that
someone threw in the woods behind
your house sure does look awful.
That’s because it takes years to
decompose. Place your holiday
tree curbside on January 7 or 14 for
pickup. Make sure it’s removed
from any bag and undecorated.
Sorting TRASH from RECYCLABLES during cleanup saves time!
The tree will be ground into mulch and available to you and other county
residents at no charge! Free mulch can be picked up at both Fairfax County
landfills and various park sites. Call 703-324-5665 for a location near you.
Recycling Is a Good Habit to Practice!
Make recycling a priority and a new year’s resolution for 2015! Recycling is
not that hard to do, and once you start it will become a habit. Remember

Three Trees To Try–ParT 3
Past articles have discussed the
Paperbark Maple, the Bloodgood
Maple, and the Crape Myrtle as options.
Let’s add the Mary Nell Holly and Little
Leaf Linden as excellent choices for
single-family homes and the Okame
Cherry for townhome lots.
Mary Nell Holly
Are you looking for an anchor tree
for the large bed you have in the yard
or for a tree that will give you some
screening? Look no further than the
Mary Nell Holly. This evergreen tree
Okame Cherry
has a pyramidal growth habit; large,
shiny leaves; and a maturity of 30
feet tall.
Little Leaf Linden
If you are searching for a tree
with a uniquely shaped canopy
and compact growth within the
canopy, the Little Leaf Linden is
a great selection for single-family
lots. Due to its dense canopy, the
Little Leaf Linden can provide deep
shade when mature. It also features
fragrant flowers in June and July,
and the tree will slowly grow to 60
feet tall at maturity.
Silver Maple
In the October and November issues of
the Kingstonian, there were tips shared
for planting trees based on the new
setback requirements that are part of
the amendment to the Landscaping
and Tree Removal guidelines. In
addition, options for trees to plant
were listed based on the updated tree
replacement list. In this article we will
continue the conversation with some
additional trees to consider and a few
to leave off that list of options.
Little Leaf Linden
ar
Bradford Pe
Mary Nell Holly
Banned Trees
Okame Cherry
If you have the Bradford Pear or
Silver Maple on your list of trees to
consider—contemplate no more, as
they are on the list of Kingstowne’s
prohibited trees.
If you live in a townhome and want a
tree that will contribute some color
to your landscape, consider the
Okame Cherry. This tree produces
beautiful blooms in the spring
providing color for your landscape.
It is a moderate to faster growing
variety but only grows to 25 feet at
maturity.
Remember, there are new setback
rules for the installation of trees, and
as always when considering planting
or removing trees, you are required
to fill out the Application for Home
Improvements and Modifications,
which can be found on www.
kingstowne.org.

The Who’s Who on Snow
Plowing in Kingstowne
Whether we want it to or not, this
winter is predicted to have more snow
than last winter!
The standard for KROC contractors
to begin plowing is when two or more
inches of snow have been recorded at
Reagan National Airport. The size and
duration of the storm will determine
how the streets will be plowed. When
the storm is dropping snow at a high
rate and for a long period of time, the
plowing crews will concentrate on
opening up one lane until all the private
streets have been opened. After the
snow has stopped, crews will follow
up with additional efforts to open as
much of the street as possible. Plowing
efforts may require more time during
these larger storms.
During plowing operations, efforts
will be made to minimize snow piles
at the mailboxes and behind vehicles.
Icing typically requires no plowing;
salt applications will be sufficient.
The staff and plowing crews maintain
a list of “hot spots” or areas where
snow and ice are a particular problem
due to shade, rapid freeze-thaws, or
steep grades. These areas are typically
pretreated with salt or special deicing
materials and treated more often after
a snow event.
Who’s Responsible?
There are two organizations
responsible for snow plowing on the
streets throughout the Kingstowne
community. Public streets are
maintained by the Virginia Department
of Transportation (VDOT) and are listed
below.
Maintained by VDOT (703-383-8368)
• Castlewellan Dr. • Hayfield Rd.
• Horgan Ct. • Greendale Village Dr.
• King Centre Dr.

• Kingstowne Commons Dr.
• Lake Village Drive • Park Village Dr.
• Sir Viceroy Dr. • Kingstowne Blvd.
• Summer Ridge Rd.
• South Van Dorn St. (from Franconia
Rd. to Telegraph Rd.)
• Kingstowne Village Pkwy. (from
South Van Dorn Street to Beulah Street)
Maintained by KROC
All private roads within the
community are maintained by KROC.
Questions or comments about KROCmaintained roads can be directed
to the Kingstowne Business Office
weather emergency number at
571-255-8662 or emailed to roberta@
kingstowne.org. During periods
of heavy snow, your patience is
appreciated.
What Can You Do to Help?
• Shovel your sidewalks and
driveways.
• Park in garages, in driveways, or
along main thoroughfares so trucks
can plow more efficiently.
• Keep your mailbox area clear from
snow buildup or the postal carrier
may not deliver mail. (See details in
graphic below.)
• Pretreat private lot areas that are
prone to ice buildup with ecofriendly
products.
• Townhome residents: move
shoveled snow to common turf
areas instead of the street.
• Most important, please be
considerate of your neighbors
regarding the placement when
shoveling snow.

Snowy roofs in Northampton neighborhood during blizzard of 2009.
Snow on Your roof? MaYbe ThaT’S a Good ThinG!
Insulate Your Head
Winter weather is here. Cold winds
blow and sometimes snow falls. If
your plans take you outside, likely
your attire includes a hooded jacket
or hat to cover your head. Wearing
a heavy coat and leaving your head
uncovered is a sure way to become
cold quickly once you’re outside.
Insulate yourself from top to bottom
to stay warm while you’re out in the
elements.
Insulate Your Roof
The same principal applies to our
homes! Taking measures to keep
cold air out and warm air in will make
for a comfortable and cozy home
throughout the winter season. You can
caulk windows and install draft guards
on the bottoms of doors to help
eliminate cold air’s entrance. What
about keeping the warm air inside?

neighbors’ roofs around you. If you
notice snow has melted off your roof
faster than your immediate neighbors’
roofs, you may want to check the
amount or type of insulation in your
attic. Poorly insulated attics will allow
the heat that rises inside your home to
escape much faster!
Is Your Insulation
Keeping the Heat in?
Insulation comes in many different
shapes, sizes, and quantities.
Determine where the insulation will
be installed and research your options.
You may choose to do this project
yourself or hire a contractor. This is
one way to keep heat in and energy
bills down.
The next time it snows, take a look at
your roof for a quick and easy way to
tell if the insulation upstairs is keeping
heat in.

As many are aware, Fairfax County is dealing with a troubling case
involving the 2013 death of John Geer. I’ve spent a good deal of time
during the first days of December responding to questions about
the federal investigation into this case and why it is taking so long.
Ordinarily a police-involved shooting in Fairfax is referred to the
commonwealth attorney’s office and is handled in a relatively
short time. In this case, however, the commonwealth attorney’s
office asked last January for the federal government to assist. That
investigation is still ongoing.
Interpreting the facts in order to discover the truth of what
happened is often difficult. There are the bare facts of what
happened: the police were called and a man was shot. Then there is
the interpretation of what happened. Or what one thinks happened.
Or what one heard happened. Why and how it happened.
Individuals view information differently through their own cultural
prisms and backgrounds. The interpretation part is never simple.
That is the job right now of federal investigators.

The violent loss of a life is tragic, whatever the circumstance.
In fairness to everyone involved and affected, it is critical that
information obtained through the investigation be carefully
vetted and corroborated prior to its release at the conclusion of
the process. The county has provided all of the information and
materials requested by federal investigators.
Our Board does not interfere with, or insert itself into, a criminal
investigation. We have, however, expressed our frustration
and deep concern with the length of time this investigation has
taken. Once the process is completed, I am committed to a review
of Fairfax County’s own internal policies and procedures to make
sure we are working with all levels of law enforcement so that
justice is served in a timely manner.

Message from Lee District
Supervisor McKay
Jeff C. McKay, Lee District Supervisor

This was the year of the town center—Springfield Town Center!
The former Springfield Mall opened its doors on October 17, and
shoppers and diners have been flocking there. Another important
retail addition, Wegmans, is on track and should open this spring.
Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) transit
alternatives study recommending bus rapid transit (BRT) lanes to
Prince William County in the short term, and, in the long term, a
possible extension of Metro’s Yellow Line to Hybla Valley.
We’ve made great strides in transportation. This summer, Jeff Todd
Way (formerly Mulligan Road) opened, connecting Telegraph Road
near Hayfield Secondary to Route One near Fort Belvoir. Besides
serving as an east/west link, the new road includes widening and
improvements for parts of Route One and Telegraph Road.
The $100 million transportation bond referendum that voters
approved on Election Day will help get more turn lanes, traffic
signals, directional signage, and, most importantly, missing
sidewalks, bike lanes, and trails. These improve neighborhood
safety, access to community facilities, like schools and transit, and
link neighborhoods. And, they relieve traffic congestion.
Work on one of our worst transportation bottlenecks—the Van
Dorn/Telegraph/South Kings intersection is almost complete.
Two travel lanes in each direction recently opened and the newly
widened intersection will help drivers using Telegraph Road reach
I-495 via South Van Dorn Street and alleviate the bottleneck east
of the intersection before it splits to Telegraph Road and South
Kings Highway. I pushed for the county to fund this project
because there was no state road money available and we could not
wait any longer.
Enhanced transit on Route One is progressing with the state’s

Update from
Delegate Sickles
once a driver enters the lanes, they are locked into the toll rate
until the next sign.
Mark Sickles, Delegate, 43rd District
703-922-6440
[email protected]
These new rules only apply to the express lanes; once they
end on I-395 just north of Edsall Road, the I-395 HOV lanes will
operate the same as they do today. Even with the E-ZPass,
vehicles that do not meet the HOV requirement when the
HOV rules are in effect on I-395 are required to exit.
The I-95 express lanes are now open from Garrisonville Road
in North Stafford County to the Edsall Road area on I-395 in
Fairfax County. The project is intended to reduce rush hour
congestion by converting the underutilized high occupancy
vehicle (HOV) lanes into higher capacity express lanes.
One of the major changes will be that ALL drivers, including
non-toll paying carpoolers, with the exception of motorcycle
operators, are required to obtain an E-ZPass to continue using
the new lanes free. In other words, HOV-3+ will continue to be
able to use the lanes toll-free as long as they use an E-ZPass
Flex. Hybrid drivers (even those with the “clean fuel plate”) will
not be able to drive on the express lanes toll-free unless they
meet the HOV-3+ requirement.
The express lanes are accompanied by an extensive signage
system to help drivers make an informed decision on whether
or not they want to use the new lanes. There will be two pricing
signs before all entrances to the express lanes. They will show
the cost to travel to a maximum of three upcoming exits.
Although the displayed prices change with the flow of traffic,

Primary Care
Because it will take time for people to get used to these new
rules, the 95 express lanes have agreed to be lenient in the
early days of operation. If you are having any issues, please let
me know. I can always be reached by phone at 703-922-6440
or via email at [email protected].

FY 2016 Budget
Preparation for Fiscal Year 2016 is under way and I strongly
encourage you to follow the budget process. Your schools reflect
your support and your vision of what FCPS should look like. The

has lots of information and the guide is a wonderful resource
prepared by the FCPS Financial Services Department to help the

faced by the School Board and Dr. Garza’s staff as we work to keep
Fairfax County Public Schools a world-class school system.
