George Creed Talks Comments (1)
From the Connection...Residents Reflect on Tysons Future, Planning Process:
George Creed, Vienna "They’re hearing our voices, but are not listening. I believe the planners’ minds are made up. We keep asking questions about transportation and those are not being addressed …. at least, not so far. "The first thing they have to fix is the problems we have now. "To make any of this planning work, you need Metrorail and right now, that’s questionable. I don’t think either of those plans [A or B] will work without rail, preferably underground. "We need the higher amount of green space and civic amenities."
That clarified everything. Thanks George. When you hear the noble George speak out in the local paper don't forget his conflict of interest and self serving use of the government to benefit his grandkids.

George Creed Votes For His Wife's Financial Well Being at Green Hedges School Comments (16)
Green Hedges School in Vienna recently came forward with a program for an expanded school in a residential area. They appeared before the Planning Commission and lost on a unanimous vote. George Creed, who is on the Planning Commission recused himself on the vote because his wife works there (and since he was being filmed). Green Hedges then scaled back the plan and went before the Planning Commission again. Since there were no cameras this time, Creed voted and the school project passed. What a way to give your wife financial security! Creed should be tossed off this Board immediately for knowingly committing a gross conflict of interest. Anyone who has seen this moron speak in public knows we are not exaggerating. Georgie boy, you better watch yourself, conflicted politicians often get in trouble with law enforcement.

Political Dirty Trickster George Creed Slimes Vienna Election
Well, you had to expect that dirty tricks would really heat up and they have as the 2006 Election winds down. The infamous George Creed, a Vienna Planning Commission Member, is now actively floating a rumor that a Town Council challenger is not legally on the ballot. Even after Creed was told by the Board of Elections that he was mistaken, he is still out there looking for ANY angle to keep his incumbent buddy Laurie Cole on Council. Does the Town of Vienna really need a guy like this on the Planning Commission?

Lacking Competence: George Creed Comments (0)
George Creed sits on the Town of Vienna Planning Commission. In 2003 he voted to not allow 5 properties to be removed from the historic district. In 2006 he voted against allowing 1 property out of the historic district. All Vienna citizens assume he has some basic competence to sit on that board and make those decisions. Right?
Seemingly unrelated to the historic district, Creed voted in March 2006 to allow a single property in Vienna to be subdivided into three parcels. Nothing unusual there, the majority voted for it. There was no opposition. Where is this property? It is three blocks outside the historic district near Louise Archer School. However, right when it seems something should be simple in Vienna, it gets stupid. Watch Creed's question at the end of this property sudivision meeting:
Why is Creed ruling on people's lives and their property rights when it comes to the historic district when it is clear he is not cognizant of the basics? He doesn't know the boundaries of the historic district, but regularly rules on boundary changes?! Some people have complained that this site is too hard on some people personally. That is nonsense. George Creed wants power over people's lives and loves sitting on the Planning Commission to exert that power. Pointing out that Creed may be incompetent or that he is a political crony is not personal. It is a political reality that needs to be rectified. And if you watched the faces of other members on the Planning Commission that night, it is clear many would agree with our sentiments.

Planning Commission Votes 5-3 Comments (0)
The Planning Commission voted 5-3 tonight to not allow a property to be removed from the Windover Heights Historic District. The debate before the vote clearly showed a Planning Commission not in agreement as to what the Historic District law even says. Planning Commission member George Creed of course voted against the petition. It is clear where Creed's political bread is buttered.

The Green Hedges School 'Lobby' Comments (1)
The Windover Heights Historic District has a rather curious group of supporters with extremely close ties to the ultra-private Green Hedges School located behind the Amphora restaurant. Green Hedges School (aerial photo) just so happens to sit next to the border of the Windover Heights Historic District, but not in it. This group is extremely active behind the scenes in backing the Windover Heights Historic District. Consider their politics:
1. George Creed's wife is a teacher at Green Hedges School. Creed is on the Vienna Planning Commission. He voted in 2003 to not allow 5 properties to be removed from the Historic District. Litigation is pending now. In 2006, Creed still thinks the District is "fine" even after reading this website. On the other hand, does Creed support an expanded Green Hedges? Will he recuse himself when its time to vote on the school?
2. Sherry Dart is a teacher at Green Hedges School. Dart is virulently opposed to the removal of properties from the District. She read this letter at a community meeting in 2003. Dart's house touches the border of the District, but is not in the District. She lobbies for others to be in it, but she doesn't want in herself. Lastly, Dart's house at 331 Lewis Street, NW is on this list of so-called historic structures.
3. Sharon Kallio and Gloria Runyon both have an association with Green Hedges School (Runyon is a Trustee). Both are also Board Members of the Malcolm Windover Heights Civic Association. They have ignored all problems with the Historic District. They have refused to stand up as Board Members of the Civic Association and do anything toward the resolution of the Historic District mess.
4. Green Hedges School is currently planning a monster addition in the middle of a residential neighborhood (off Windover Avenue, NW). How many of these students reside in Vienna? How many teachers reside in Vienna? How is it appropriate to force the neighbors who live in the neighborhood to deal with the increased traffic the expanded school will bring?
5. Chuck and Laura Anderson have a long history with the Windover Heights Historic District. For example, their new home was added to the Historic District in 1998 for no cogent reason. They also happen to be big supporters of Green Hedges School. Laura Anderson, for example, is Vice-Chair of the 2005-2006 Board of Trustees for the school. It should be noted that Chuck Anderson argued against this house being built in 2004 saying it was too "massive". But apparently the new Green Hedges School, only three houses away from the one Anderson opposed, will not be "massive"?
6. Church Street Closed with Barricade. Any expansion of a school in a residential neighborhood will be a burden on the people who live there. While Laura Anderson, a Green Hedges School Trustee, thinks it's fine to burden neighbors with the increased traffic, she had no problem keeping Church Street behind the Marco Polo closed to one-way traffic. Anderson was instrumental in making sure this silly barricade (see yellow square on picture) is the only one of its kind in Vienna. For those not recognizing the location, the red square is the Post Office, the green square is the Marco Polo restaurant and the blue square is Chuck and Laura Anderson's house. How many times have you ever wondered why that barricade is there? Blame Laura Anderson for creating her own private road.

George Creed Opines Comments (0)
George Creed at the January 25, 2006 Planning Commision public hearing declared in the following video clip that everything about the Windover Heights Board of Review was "clear" to him:
George Creed, Town of Vienna Planning Commission Member
How can Creed say this when there are no rules, standards or guidelines?
