The Dulles Area Association of REALTORS® (DAAR) provides this update on their website:

The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors (LCBOS) continued their review and consideration this month of a Limestone Overlay District (LOD) intended to place land use restrictions on 1,200 property owners on 14,000 areas north and south of Leesburg. The LCBOS Transportation and Land Use Committee (TLUC) met on November 18th to discuss the proposed regulations and concerns raised since the public hearing on the issue in September.

At this juncture, the TLUC has approved modifications to the provisions related to the disclosure notice, garden sizes and structures size exemptions. The TLUC will meet on December 16th to discuss further modifications to the proposal which may be considered during the LCBOS business meeting on Tuesday, January 5th, 2010. To express your views on the proposal to the LCBOS, visit www.limestoneboondoggle.com.

The Dulles Area Association of REALTORS® provided an update on this critical issue on October 29th. DAAR strongly opposes this potential regulation as an advocate for homeowner property rights and the potential negative impact on property value. Here's an excerpt that includes a call to action:

On Monday, October 26th, the TLUC met and discussed several issues raised at the public hearing and at the September 28th TLUC meeting.  The proposal may be considered by the full LCBOS as early as their business meeting on Tuesday, December 1st.  For more information, visit the new DAAR call-to-action website on this issue - www.limestoneboondoggle.com
