APPREHENSION about future sewage problems, school enrollment, and pollution has prompted the Madison County Board of Supervisors to call an indefinite halt to subdivision development.*The same thing has occurred in Culpeper County, where a moratorium on development has also been declared.
How fortunate we are that Rappahannock County officials have had the foresight to provide, up to this point, adequate zoning and subdivision legislation — rules and regulations which have been responsible for orderly development, thus far.
It is not too soon, however, to re-study and reevaluate Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision ordinances. These are presently being studied, re-worked and updated, article by article, with a large committee of local residents headed by Rosser Payne, a development consultant.
