  • Staff Report PA 2017-CW-4CP
    THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK STAFF REPORT FOR PLAN AMENDMENT PA 2017-CW-4CP BACKGROUND On July 9, 2013, through the approval of the 2013 Comprehensive Plan Work Program, the Board of Supervisors authorized annual consideration, if needed, of a Comprehensive Plan amendment to update information pertaining to Heritage Resources in the Comprehensive Plan. The amendment will primarily incorporate current information relating to historic properties in Fairfax County. Heritage Resources information in the Comprehensive Plan was last updated in September 2016 to reflect updates through 2015. Since that time, two properties have been added to the Fairfax County Inventory of Historic Sites (Inventory), the historic status of two properties has been revised, and seventeen have been removed. The Inventory is maintained by the History Commission. ANALYSIS The revisions include additions and removals to the Inventory of Historic Sites to reflect History Commission actions, editorial revisions to language which describes Historic Overlay Districts, and updates to references to county departments. The two new sites added to the Inventory are: 1) Hannah P. Clark/Enyedi House (c. 1876), a vernacular farm house in the Mount Vernon Supervisor District, Lower Potomac Planning District, added to the Inventory by the History Commission in October 2017; and 2) the Fort Belvoir Military Railroad Historic Corridor (1810-1993), also in the Mount Vernon Supervisor District, Lower Potomac and Springfield Planning Districts, added to the Virginia Landmarks Register, and therefore added also to the Inventory, in June 2016. Seventeen sites listed in the Inventory of Historic Sites are currently noted in the Plan tables with an asterisk to show the resource as demolished.

    Conflict and Courage in Fairfax County Sites and Stories of the Civil War Battle of Ox Hill (Chantilly) September 1, 1862 www.fairfaxcivilwar.org At the Center of the Conflict From the Occoquan River below Washington, DC to the upper Potomac to the north, Fairfax County laid in the path of all Federal armies advancing into Northeastern Virginia. Some of the earliest engagements of the Civil War took place in Fairfax County. When John Quincy Marr died in a skirmish at Fairfax Court House on June 1, 1861, he became the first Confederate officer killed in the war. A couple of miles away and just four days earlier, Peyton Anderson was the first Confederate soldier to shed his blood for the Confederacy when he was wounded near today’s Lee Highway and Blake Lane. Three days before the Battle of First Manassas/Bull Run, over 35,000 Union troops marched through Fairfax County on their way to the first bloody battle of the war. The first heavy fighting occurred at Blackburn’s Ford, on the western edge of the county. John Q. Marr Blackburn’s Ford The Battle of Ox Hill (Chantilly) The most intense period of the war in Fairfax County occurred in late August and early September 1862 during the Second Manassas/Bull Run Campaign. This was a period of constant troop Take the audio tour movements, maneuvering and fighting as Pope’s Union army retreated from Manassas to Centreville and Fairfax Court House. Stonewall Jackson flanked the Federal forces and fought a bloody battle with Pope’s rear guard at Ox Hill/Chantilly near today’s Route 50 and West Ox Road.
