Description
ATV's monthly conversation with County Board members on the major issues discussed at October's Board meeting.
A
B
C
You
know
in
many
ways
this
is
sort
of
a
Back
to
the
Future
concept,
because
there
what
there
is
a
swimming
pool
that
exists-
that's
been
that's
been
closed
down,
but
it
was
actually
active
in
the
60s
through
the
90s,
the
the
old
veterans
YMCA.
There
was
an
active
swimming
pool
there
very
important
in
the
nox
in
the
Nok
neighborhoods
history
and
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
C
It
just
hasn't
been
operating
and
the
Macedonia
Baptist
Church,
which
owns
it
now
wants
to
reopen
it
for
community
use
and
also
to
have
a
partnership
with
the
Polo
Water
Polo
Association,
and
as
part
of
that
they
have
plans
for
a
seven
million
dollar
pool
that
they're
gonna
work
with
a
private
investor
to
go
ahead
and
build,
and
it's
gonna
create
new
swimming
facility.
Seven
new
swimming
facilities
also
make
it
a
four
season,
pull
by
putting
a
a
dome
on
top
of
it
and
then
also
constructing
a
two-story
building.
C
That's
going
to
have
facilities
to
service
the
pool,
locker
showers,
as
well
as
a
floor
of
community
rooms,
which
is
always
necessary.
So
you've
got
a
really
interesting
project.
That's
going
to
serve
a
lot
of
needs,
re
reopening,
a
pool
that
many
people
remember
fondly
providing
much-needed
pool
space
in
Arlington
but
at
the
same
time
also
providing
some
good
community
space
as
well
and.
A
C
You
look
at
it
on
balance.
There
are
a
lot
of
investments
that
have
gone
on
in
the
Nok
neighborhood
over
the
last
15
years
or
so.
I
was
fortunate
to
be
a
part
of
the
planning
process
for
many
of
them
and,
quite
frankly,
you
never
knew
when
those
were
going
to
happen,
and
so
you
know
what
we're
looking
at
our
in
the
aggregate.
B
Exciting
is
that
these
uses
all
really
complement
and
enhance
each
other
actually
not
entirely,
unlike
what
we
were
just
talking
about
in
Crystal
City,
when
we,
we
also
took
an
action
that
actually
required
us
to
amend
their
zoning
ordinance
to
allow
ourselves
the
very
flexibility
that
we
then
turn
around
and
exercise
on
setbacks,
etc.
To
enable
this
pool,
and
as
we
thought
about
that
in
kind
of
community
appropriateness,
the
fact
that
that
that
knock
is
an
area
is
home
to
not
only
this
pool
but
to
so
many
other
compatible
Civic
uses.
Well.
B
That
makes
good
planning
sense
in
very
literal
ways,
for
example,
the
fact
that
it's
Macedonia's
Baptist
Church
will
be
the
the
owner
and
manager
of
this
pool,
as
well
as
the
church,
as
well
as
the
facility
that
a
new,
relatively
new
speaking
preschool
all
in
that
same
block.
It
allows
them
to
manage
the
parking
better,
even
better.
So
even
these
are
those
kind
of
very
literal
planning
ways
these
uses
are
compatible
and
then,
of
course,
in
terms
of
building
a
community
right.
B
The
opportunity
for
you
know
churchgoers,
to
be
part
of
this
community
facility
in
the
pool.
The
opportunity
for
kids
at
the
preschool
to
learn
to
swim
the
opportunities
for
families
to
come
for
a
baseball
game
and
swim
lessons
on
the
same
day.
It's
just
you
really
see
the
opportunity
for
people
to
build
their
lives
around
the
institutions
in
their
community
and
that's
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
do.
A
C
You
know
one
thing
we
didn't
even
mention
was
the
major
institutional
Civic
institutional
facility.
They
are
drew,
drew
school
which
is
soon
going
to
become
a
neighborhood
school
again
and
with
this
Poole
online,
it's
going
to
be
one
of
the
probably
going
to
become
the
elementary
school
and
closest
proximity
to
a
pool
where
potentially
there
could
be
some
partnerships.
So
all
sorts
of
interesting
things
that
are
afoot.
