[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is the water sale didn’t create a timber lane island. Boom, facts.[/quote]

You seem to think an island existed simply because the Timber Lane area is on the other side of Route 7. The boundaries still would have looked odd given the then-existing boundaries of Falls Church City, but I don’t think it was literally an “island” until the area on the other side of Route 7 near Haycock Road was transferred to FCC.

The land that was sold didn’t have any homes on it and is closer to Shrevewood ES than Timber Lane ES. The Giant strip mall across from the land that was sold is still Fairfax County.  I guess we would have to look at an old map to see for sure but, from the ground, the timber lane area is always an island because of the commercial area and major road between it and the rest of the McLean area.[/quote]

That Giant strip mall on Route 7 is in the City of Falls Church, not Fairfax County. The new West Falls Development and Meridian/Mary Ellen Henderson are also in the City of Falls Church - that was the land swap area from the water district sale. I believe that area used to be zoned to Haycock, although there were no houses there.

Timber Lane borders Shrevewood ES's boundary, the City of Falls Church, Pine Spring ES and Graham Road ES. It does not border or touch any McLean HS ES boundaries. It almost touched Haycock ES boundaries before the land swap. [/quote]
