STATE LIBRARY aXCBBOHB V>* W* 19 ' V‘\ • \ >. ■ j,\N 13 I fifteen cents t Amissville re-zoning Supervisors approve after lively hearing ELMER JENKINS’S request to rezone two lots on the Amissville area from agriculture to business was approved by Rappahannock’s Supervisors at their meeting last Thursday. A majority of persons attending the crowded public hearing seemed to be in favor of the rezpping, but Jenkins’s request brfljiht strong opposition from M^^sarah Latham, an adjoining landowner, and her daughters. The lively hearing on Jenkins’s request began at 9 a.m., but the Supervisors’ decision didn’t come until after 1 p.m. In the meantime, nearly a score of people commented on the request; the Planning Commissioners retired to the back room to deliberate, returningfAn hour later with a 2-1 recommendation to approve thte rezoning; a*nd the Supervisors went to Amissv, ville for an “on-site inspection.” Jenkins asked to have the two lots, amounting to a little over an acre, rezoned so he could relocate his gasoline station and service garage business. His existing station in Amissville has been condemned by the State Highway Department to four-lane Route 211. Jenkins maintains that he has been deprived of his livelihood by the Highway Commission’s action. He wants to relocate his business in the Amissville area, not far from his current location, since he caters to local customers in his repair business. This property was the only site he eould find along Route 211, he, and later spokesmen for him, said. MRS. LATHAM opposed the rezoning because it would devalue her property, she said. When the Highway Commission claimed her house along Route 211, she built a new house on property she bought next to the lots where Jenkins wants to build his new station. She had bought the land with the understanding that it and the land around it was zoned for agriculture. She said she had invested $60,000 in her new house and land around it. Mrs. Latham brought photographs which she presented to the Planning Commissioners and Supervisors. The pictures illustrated'; she said, the untidy appearance of Jenkins’s current business establishment. She noted specifically '•junk cars.” Mrs. Latham showed the pictures to several of the Planning Commissioners and Supervisors, asking if they’d want such a business located “in front of” their house. Planning Commissioner A. V. Stokes said "no;” Walter Masterson said "I guess not;” H. B. Wood gave no reply. Pete Luke See Page 4 Norton to Resign at end of school year SUPERINTENDENT of Schools 0. A. Norton, lias informed the Warren and Rappahannock County School Boards that he plans to retire at the end of the current school year. Norton has served as superintendent of the two counties since 1961. Norton began his educational career in 1933 as a teacher in the West Point High School, where he subsequently became principal. He then served as principal of the Amelia County High School. Norton came to the Warren and Rappahannock Systems from the Superintendency of the Amelia County Schools. The Rappahannock Medical Clinic located in Washington opened for service last Monday. Drs. Jerry Martin and Werner Krebser have invited the public to open house this Saturday afternoon from 2 until 5 p.m. for a tour of the building and refreshments. His educational career was interrupted during World War II while he served with the U.S. Air Force from 1942 to 1946. A native of Deltaville, Va., Norton attended public schools there and in Huntington, West Virginia. He received the BA Degree in science from Marshall University, the Masters in Education from the University of Virginia and completed additional graduate work at Duke. WHEN NORTON joined the Warren and Rappahannock System, public school enrollment in Warren was less- than 2,400 pupils. The enrollment during the past year exceeded 4,000. Rappahannock County has witnessed the consolidation of seven smaller and older elementary schools into one modern facility since 1967. In announcing his retirement Norton expressed appreciation for having the opportunity to work with the people of the two counties. He stated that he had been privileged to work with two fine school boards and had enjoyed the co-operation that had existed between the administration and the total staff of both counties. NORTON STATED that his plans following retirement have not been decided, except that he plans to relax and do some of the things that have been postponed during the past few years. Mr. and Mrs. Norton reside in Front Royal with their youngest daughter Ellen, a junior at Warren County High School. Their three other daughters reside in the Charlottesville area.D

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Guest editorial Trash co-operation in county needed BY E.P. LUKE ? Chairman, Board of Supervisors THE RECENT removal of the dumps from behind the courthouse in Washington, Va., has caused a furor. They were removed because the citizens who were using them were indiscriminately throwing the trash all over the lot in back of the courthouse and it was fast becoming the county dump and not in keeping with the character of the courthouse grounds. Action is being taken to relocate the dumpsters in the town of Washington where they will not be a blight on the court house. Most people in Rappahannock County do not understand the vital necessity for strict discipline with regard to trash collection and^lisposal in this county, We do not have a landfill or any recycling station in the county. None of the counties that border Rappahannock will let us use their landfills. We were fortunate during the last contract negotiation period to obtain a contractor who could dispose of our trash in the Orange County landfill. This costs us money—transportation to Orange and return, plus a fee to Orange County for using their landfill. It costs us $20 each time our contractor goes through the gate to Orange. When the initial contract was signed irL^®Ptember 1973, we contracted mr dumpsters to be placed at various locations in the county to take care of 98 cubic yards and for these to be emptied twice a week for a total of 196 cubic yards. It soon became obvious this was not enough volume, so 34 additional cubic yards were added, bringing that total to 264 cubic yards removed each week. Initially, the basic cost of the contract was $1,833 per month for 196 cubic yards. It is now $2,381 for 265 cubic yards, an increase of 30 percent. BECAUSE people have been careless and indiscriminate in handling their trash, the county has been paying $300 to $500 extra each month to have the trash on the ground picked up by the contractor. This costs the county $5 for each cubic yard picked up. Since last April, our trash bills have been averaging $2,600 per month. As reported i^ theRappahan nock News last April, citizens disposing refuse in Rappahannock must adhere to a few basic rules if we are to keep the cost of trash removal at some reasonable level. (1) Burn all paper, boxes and wood. Do not put trees and weeds in the dumpsters. This was done at the courthouse recently and is done at Scrabble School almost every week. Contractors should not use the dumpsters in disposing refuse from new construction or rehabilitation projects. Proper disposal of refuse of this type falls under the contractor’s cost of doing business and should not take up dumpster space. The county cannot afford to subsidize private business ventures. (2) Remove the tops and bottoms of all tin cans and mash them flat. This is important because it makes a dramatic change in the space the can takes up. If the above steps are taken the volume of a normal soup can may be reduced more than six times. The reduction in volume is one way to make a big impact on our trash problem. The following aluminum cans have monetary value: Miller High Life, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Carling Black Label, Budweiser and Coors. (3) Break all glass containers put in dumpsters. (4) Do not put wet garbage in the trash containers. This is in violation of the county ordinance published elsewhere in the Rappahannock News. Put your garbage on your Compost pile. In most areas of county financial affairs, the ordinary citizen does not have the opportunity to cause savings to be made. However, in the disposal of refuse everyone can help. Your action on this problem means dollars in your pocket. INDISCRIMINATE neglect will cost all of us money by an increase in future taxes to pay the larger trash bill. The county needs your concern and positive action on this matter if we want to keep Rappahannock Beautiful. P.S. Anyone interested in taking the leadership and working out the details for a spring clean-up in the county, or establishing a recycling station or finding a suitable landfill, should call me at 987-8386.C “Close-ups” The closeup photo for the issue of the Rappahannock News published December 26 was the stylus (arm and needle) of a phonograph or record player.

Weather blamed for mishaps MONDAY’S unexpected snow created a driving hazard and seviral traffic mishaps resulted. IYooper John Watson investigated i skidding crash on Route 211 ?ast of Sperryville when Roger Vlorton of Culpeper operating a 37 Pontiac skidded in the snow, vent down an embankment and hrough a fence on the property ){ John Marshall Clark. Only minor Jamage resulted and there were no njuries. Last Friday, the morning mist roze on bridge spans and caused several accidents in Rappahannock ind Culpeper counties down Route '29. According to Trooper W.A. Buntin, Frank Kinsey of Amissville sustained injuries when his jickup skidded on a bridge and struck a guard rail. He was treated it Culpeper Memorial Hospital Mr lacerations of his face and aossible fractured arm. The bridge is located near Estes and damage :o the 1966 Chevrolet truck was gstimated at $350. Campbell T. (Buster) Hitt of Woodville driving a 68 Oldsmobile on January 2, at 5:10 a.m. struck and killed a horse on Route 522. The animal was owned by William Lewis Aylor of Sperryville. Hitt sustained glass cuts to his hand and face, said Trooper Buntin, who estimated damage to the car at $800, a total loss. Aylor valued the horse at $1500. ON DECEMBER 21 in the early afternoon two vehicles were involved in a collision on Route 729. Charles Rucker of Brightwood driving a 69 Ford truck belonging to William Pickett of Amissville and a 72 Ford Pinto operated by Victoria May Laing of Amissville were involved. According to Trooper Buntin, the vehicles met on a hillcrest and the Laing car went off the right shoulder of the* road. She lost control and struck the left rear of the truck. There was no damage to the truck and the Pinto damage was set at $350. No injury resulted.u New Accident report rules The Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles reminds motorists that beginning January 1, the driver of a vehicle involved in an accident will be required to make a written report to DMV if the apparent extent of property, damage amounts to $250 or more. Currently, drivers are required to report all accidents involving apparent property damage of $100 or more. DMV Commissioner Vern L. Hill said that the new amendment continues the requirement of a written report for all accidents resulting in the injury or death of a person, regardless of the amount of property damage. All reports must be made to DMV within five days after an accident, on forms available at any DMV office or vehicle insurance agency. □

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Trash problem worries Supervisors “THE TRASH problem” has become almost a standing item on the Rappahannock Supervisors’ agenda, and talk about “the dumpsters” ensued at their January meeting last Thursday. Chairman Pete Luke told the Supervisors that the dumpsters for the town of Washington had been removed from in back of the courthouse. The reason, Luke said, was that the area had become a dumping site not befitting the courthouse grounds. “The Judge was particularly concerned about this,” Luke said, “and he suggested it. So I waited about a month and moved them.” One dumpster has been placed behind the country store, he said and the others were taken to Amissville, where the amount of trash regularly exceeds space in the dumpsters. But the problem wasn’t solved, Luke acknowledged. Washington residents need more dumpsters in town and some people are still leaving trash behind the courthouse, even though the dumpsters are gone. A new location will have to be found. “WE GOT a letter from Judge Snead,” Luke told the Supervisors. “And he has suggested that wherever the dumpsters are located, they should be policed, screened and kept clean. He also said he’d appreciated notice of the new location before it went into effect.” Supervisor Clarence Baldwin shook his head. “If we can’t control them here, right behind the Wool payment deadline near THE 1974 Wool Marketing Year ends December 31. The deadline for filing wool incentive payment applications is January 31, 1975. Area producers are urged to bring in their sales documents and make applications for incentive payments as soon as they have completed their sales of wool and unshorn lambs for the year. Producers who have filed one or more applications and later made additional sales are asked to go by the County ASCS Office and file a supplemental application so that they will receive payment for the additional sales. Timely ^filing of these applications is encouraged so that data from virtually all sales can be included in determining the natMASTER’S DEGREE Charles J.

Main St., Culpeper, Va. (Rt. 211) Amissville, Va. courthouse and under the eye of the sheriff’s department, where t can we put them?” he asked. Other Supervisors nodded in agreement. Earlier in the meeting, Pete Luke had noted that the county received a bill from Community Trash of Culpeper for emptying the dumpsters. The county had been charged extra for 26 cubic yards of trash that was scattered outside the dumpster at Huntly. Under the agreement with Community Trash, the county pays extra to have debris outside the dumpsters picked up, at the rate of $5 a cubic yard. Herbert Foster thought the Supervisors should wait before paying the extra amount. He just didn’t believe that much extra trash had been outside the dumpsters this past month, though he acknowledged there’d been a problem there in the past. ‘‘I’ve been keeping a pretty good watch on it lately,” Foster said. “And it’s just not there.” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis thought the dumpsters should be located on county property. He suggested the school bus garage yard. Others objected, noting that the elementary school playground is quite near that site. Davis thought the fact the dumpsters would be in full view of the highway and school might help keep them neat. BUT LUKE and others disagreed. “If we can’t police them with John Walker sitting right over them, I don’t know how we can do it. No reflection on John Walker,” he added. “I think he’s doing his job.” But the people using the dumpsters aren’t doing their job, Luke said. The Supervisors agreed to ask Community Trash about the extra trash outside the Huntly dumpsters before paying the bill. And everybody agreed to think about a new location tor the Washington aump, sters. Turning to other business, the Supervisors refused to pay dog fund claims for Fred Welty and J.W. Fletcher. Dog Warden Jack Bruce said he wasn’t sure that either calf kill had been made by a dog. Welty’s calf might have been born dead, Bruce said. He could tell it was at the site where it was born, though it was cut up. “But the cow had gone on back with the herd.” The Fletcher calf might have also been born dead, Bruce said. “Though when I got there it was torn to rags. I just can’t tell on these cases. But this was just a baby calf; it’s feet were soft as can be.” The Supervisors agreed not to pay the claims, since their policy is to follow Bruce’s advice and he wasn’t convinced dogS had made the kills. BRUCE told the Supervisors that the deadline for buying dog tags is the end of the month. With their permission, he’d like to “run a few ads.” The Supervisors told him to go ahead. Pete Luke said the county needs to think about finding a place to dispose of the stray dogs that Bruce kills. Bruce said he’s been throwing the dead dogs in his back field. “This year I’ve picked up 184 dogs and I expect 164 of them are over in my back field.” The smell is “enough to gag a maggot” in hot weather, Bruce said. In other business, the Supervisors appointed Kermit Weakly of Washington and Dr. Jerry Martin of Flint Hill to serve on the Health Planning Advisory Committee for District Nine. Beverly Massie was reappoirited to the Chapter 10 Mental Health Board. Pete Luke was reelected chairman of the Boa rd of Supervisors. □ You are invited to an OPEN HOUSE Saturday, January 11, 1975 Rappahannock Clinic Washington, Va. 2 p.m. lo 5 p.m. Dr. Jerry Martin Dr. Werner Krebser

Amissville re-zoning is approved From Fage 1 nodded his head when Mrs. Latham said, "Now, you’ve already told me you wouldn’t want it.” ELMER JENKINS was also armed with photographs. Several of them showed that Mrs. Latham's nqjy house is within sight of his existing garage, he said. Other pictures showed the distance between the proposed location of his new station and Mrs. Latham’s house. The difference wasn’t much; her house couldn’t be much closer .to his new business than it is now, he concluded. During the hearing, W.G. Eastham Sr. spoke in favor of the rezoning, saying Jenkins needs to relocate in the Amissville area to stay in business and Amissville people needed the services he could provide. Furthermore, Eastham added, he would not object in the least to having the station in front of his house. Mrs. Latham’s daughter, Sally Mann, commented: “We’ll sell you some^land.” REAL ESTATE broker J. Newbill Miller spoke at Mrs. Latham’s request. Noting that he was not speaking either in favor or against the rezoning, Miller said it was his “professional opinion” that the location of Jenkins’s garage on the lots for which he requested rezoning would devalue Mrs. Latham’s property by $15,000. Her property lies partly behind the lots Jenkins has bought. Roger Batchelder said he had helped Jenkins try to find property on which to relocate his station. After a year-long search, Batchelder said, he could only find two sites. At one site, the owners were only willing to sell 100 feet of road frontage and the county zoning ordinance requires 250 feet of frontage for a service station. The other site was the property next to Mrs. Latham. Mrs. Latham wanted to know why Jenkins insisted on locating COMPLETE ONE-STOP Building Supply Hardware Paint Millwork Lumber (VARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC. ON Trt£ BY-PASS WARRENTON Phone 347-1400 along the main road, since he and some of his supporters had said most of his business was with local people. Mrs. Latham's daughter, Nancy Hoadley, asked why Jenkins couldn’t build the service station on land he already owned along Viewtown road. Franklin Woodward, Jenkins's son-in-law, said that Jenkins's gas sales depend partly upon tourist traffic and passersby on Route 211. His repair service customers, except for emergencies, were local residents. The farm that Jenkins owns is on a secondary road, not heavily traveled, he said. He would suffer a loss in gas sales. CAPTAIN L.B. Stuart said he was in favor of the rezoning and presented the Supervisors and Planning Commissioners two letters and a petition, all in favor. One was a letter from Douglas W. Kanney, pastor of Amissville United Methodist Church. Kanney said that the new garage would be directly across from the church and he knew of no opposition in the congregation to Jenkins locating it there. The other letter in favor of the rezoning was from Thomas ^P.G. Liverman of Amissville. Liverman emphasized the “importance” of Jenkins’s business to the Amissville Community. “I suggest to deny Elmer Jenkins’ request would impose a hardship on our community no less than on Mr. Jenkins himself,” Liverman said in the letter. The petition which Stuart presented was signed by "approximately 250 people” in the Amissville area. The petition stated that those who had signed it favored rezoning for several reasons: "(1) his present garage and service station has been taken by the process of eminent domain by the Virginia State Highway Commission with no compensation for the business, only for his land and buildings. (2) His repair service is now the only such service in the Amissville area. (3) His gasoline service is the only one between Warrenton and Washington, Va., carrying his brand. (Exx-on). (4) The location proposed is the only location he could obtain reasonably close to his present establishment and is adjacent to the new home of the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department whose vehicles he frequently services. (5) The proposed location is within 100 yards of where another garage and service station were operated prior to Highway Commission acquisition. (6) W e consider that granting this permit would not be detrimental to the area in question since there are three other businesses now operating in the immediate vicinity. (7) We believe it is only justice that the county cooperate New and Used Cars and Trucks PIEDMONT fChevrolef-Oldsmdbile/ Inc. 814 N. Main St. Phone 825-2161 Culpeper, Va. in permitting Mr. Jenkins to continue his service to the public, a service which he has faithfully performed over a period of 27 years, rather than to join the Virginia State Highway Commission in wiping out a business and service greatly desired by the community.” AFTER presenting the letters and petition, Captain Stuart noted that he had served on the Rappahannock County Planning Commission when the first zoning ordinance was drawn up in 1961. At that time, Amissville was not zoned as residential-business district like the communities of Sperryville, Flint Hill and Woodville, because it was stretched out farther along the highway , was not as compact or densely developed. It was the thinking of the Planning Commission at that time, Stuart said, to let the community develop slowly without interference, at its pace, instead making it a “strip zone” from the start. Under the ordinance, in effect when this action was taken, Stuart said, it was fairly easy for land- . owners to open a grocery store of service station in the area. Stuart said that he felt the new ordinance “had messed that up.” Captain William Keim said he^ was very much in favor of the re-* zoning. Although he is usually opposed to the concept of “spot zoning,” Keim said that extenuating circumstances made Mr. Jenkins's an exceptional case. This rezoning was very much merited, he said. Keim added that he thought commercial aras should develop along major highways, like 211. Rural roads should remain rural. Keim introduced himself as "a friend of Mr. Jenkins and, 1 hope, Mrs. Latham.” Several other speakers did the same thing. W.G. EASTHAM SR. said he also thought Jenkins’s garage was important to the Amissville community. He made a little speech, saying that people can’t afford to buy new things much anymore, and they need a garage like Jenkins's to help them keep what they’ve got in good repair. Bobby Carter, Paul Polling and William Printz all stated that they were in favor of the rezoning, too. Bill Lyne said that the planners and Supervisors couldn’t possibly come to a decision that would satisfy everybody, but he hoped they could make a decision for the good of the public. Roger Batchelder asked Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale if the audience at the hearing could be polled on their opinion about the rezoning. A count of 54 people in favor was made by a show of hands. Approximately 7U people were present. MRS. LATHAM’S daughter requested that a poll should be taken of only those affected. “But we're all affected,” Barksdale said, adding that whatever was decided ■ would become a precedent that might be applied anvwhere in the county. Mrs. Latham’s daughter, Nancy Hoadley, said she would like to see a poll of those directly affected. BuKa second poll was never majl^ George /Davis said something aboutNjje'nearing be coming a popularity contest. Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale then closed the hearing and the Planning Commissioners retired to the back room to deliberate in private and make their recommendation. Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke said he wanted to be sure that Mr. Jenkins knew the outcome that afternoon. The planners, chairman Herbert Barksdale, Allan Stokes, Walter Masterson, and Pete Luke, who serves as the Supervisors’ representative on the Planning Commission, stayed in the back room for nearly an hour. Herbert Barksdale was clearly against the rezoning request, a point he’d made at the November meeting of the Planning Commission when Jenkins appeared to ask for a hearing. Barksdale felt the rezoning would amount to “spot zoning” for commercial use in an agricultural district. “That's something we’ve been against all along,” he said. But Barksdale said the public was cleanly in favor in the rezoning. A. Stokes hadn’t been at the Planning Commission meeting in October when the rezoning request was first discussed. He wasn’t sure how he felt. Walter Masterson, attending his first hearing as a Planning Commissioner since his appointment in December, leaned against the rezoning. BUT PETE LUKE was in favor, He had said so at the earlier meeting. Luke felt that the Highway Department had put Jenkins out of business and the county had some responsibility to see that he could continue to make a living. Luke didn’t feel that the rezoning fit the usual connotation of spot rezoning. It wouldn’t, he argued, actually change the character of the Amissville community. Although Amissville was zoned as agriculture, it already had a “commercial character.” Between Lombardy’s Restaurant and Early’s Carpet Sales business, there are 24 houses and 12 business, Luke said. It is more spread out than other villages like Flint Hill, Sperryville or Woodville, but it is already a business strip, Luke said. With Stokes undecided and Masterson and Barksdale opposed to the rezoning, Luke said that he would offer a recommendation of his own, supporting the rezoning request, if the other Planning Commissioners voted against it. Luke drew up the recommendation and the vote was called. Stokes and Luke voted in favor and Walter Masterson voted against it. Herbert Barksdale didn’t vote, since the chairman is required to vote only in the case of a tie.

PANTHER TALES Cindy Cumins Our Christmas snow came a little late this year when it finally decided to fall last Monday, but better late than never. School was called off Wednesday and this time it really did feel like Christmas vacation. Even though school was called off, Tuesday night’s basketball game wasn’t. The game was at Luray High School. Neither Rappahannock team brought home a victory. The J.V. game was a close one with our Rappahannock Panthers staying only a few points behind the Luray team until the last quarter when they couldn’t quite catch up with the Bulldogs. The varsity team played a good game the first two quarters but was un3bje to catch up with the Luray score in the final two. Last Eriday our Rappahannock teams played the Elkton Elks in a home game and our JV team was a bit luckier when they defeated the Elks. They played a really fine game. That makes a total of three wins for the season. Mid-term exams will begin next Friday and will continue through Monday and Tuesday. Kathy Dwyer has been selected to receive this year’s DAR Good Citizen award.

Amissville re-zoning is approved From Page 4 room, the audience was anxious. At one point, H.B. Wood left his seat and went to the door of the room where the Planning Commissioners were sequestered. Wood stuck his head in the room, apparantly to ask how the planners were coming along, nodded, closed the door and returned to his seat. When the Planning Commissioners finally emerged, Chairman Herbert Barksdale said they were ready with a recommendation, and he’d ask the man who drev£ it up to read it. So Pete Luke read it aloud: “The Planning Commission recommends that (a) lots 8"9 and 90, Section 33. Rappahannock County Zoning Map. be rezoned Business B-2 for the purpose of building and operating a service station-garage, subject to the approval of the health officials for the intended purpose; (B) That the applicant not violate the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance with establishment of an automobile graveyard or junkyard; (c) Lots 89 and 90 be screened within one year after construction is initiated, on the north and east, with trees, preferably evergreens, and set back from Route 211 one hundred feet or at a distance determined by the zoning administrator and in accordance with the Rappahannock County zoning ordinance.” LUKE SAID the recommendation for approval of the rezoning request was made on the condition that the screening be carried out. The county has no site plan ordinance, which permits some control over landscaping, design and location of a business. But the Planning Commission had tried to TRAIN TO BE A LIVESTOCK BUYER No experience necessary. However, you should have a farm background and enjoy working with livestock. Earn a good living and have a secure future in a growing industry. Learn to buy cattle, hogs and sheep. If you have a sincere interest in becoming a Livestock Buyer, write today with your personal background. Send your name, age, address and phone number. A personal interview will be scheduled in your area. No phone calls, please. AMERICAN CATTLE CO. 175 W. Jackson Bhrd. — 614 Chicago, Illinois 60604 come up with something that would help influence the type of business that would be located on the rezoned lot. “What was the vote on that?” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis asked of Pete Luke. “I think the Supervisors are entitled to know if it was not unanimous.” Luke said he and Stokes had voted for it, Masterson had not and Barksdale didn’t vote. “Well, there should be an onsite inspection, by the governing body,” Davis said. “If I’m going to have to defend the governing body in the courts, I want to be in the best possible position to do so.” “I’ve been out there myself a number of times and looked it over,” Pete Luke said. “What do you want us to look for—what criteria?” Supervisor Herbert Foster said he’d like to go. “Just to look at the lot, see what end of the building is where. The Supervisors’ meeting was recessed until 1 o’clock. The Supervisors and a number of onlookers, including Jenkins, went to Amissville. Comments made by several supervisors at the site indicated they would vote for the rezoning when they returned. The Supervisors returned to the courtroom shortly afternoon. Pete Luke said the on-site inspection left him more convinced than ever that Jenkins’s station at the new location wouldn’t change the character of the community. “I’m glad we went down there for that,” Herbert Foster said. “There are only a few places you can locate a business on a four-land highway,” Dick Latham said, noting the extensive cuts and fills along the highway. “You’d either be up on a hill or down in a hole.” Since the Supervisors had said they’d reconvene at 1 o’clock, they went ahead with other items of business before calling a vote of the rezoning request. AT 1 O’CLOCK, Luke said he’d written the Planning Commission recommendation to be “as explicit as possible, since we don’t have a site plan ordinance...It was my thinking to specifically require the evergreens for screening, instead of a fence or something, MADISON LIVESTOCK MARKET, INC.

Luke saick that he saw three reasons for jthe Supervisors to vote in favor of the rezoning. “This would not be in violation of the spirit or intent of the law. We’ve been through the procedures. Second, the new location would not change the character of the community. And third, Mrs. Latham’s house is not directly behind The proposed location for the gofrage and is obstructed by existing trees.” Before a vote could be called, Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis said that Elmer Jenkins didn’t have a recorded deed to both lots. “There is a recorded deed for one lot, from Marie Everett, in Jenkins’s name. But there's no deed of record from Banks and heirs to Jenkins,” Davis said. Clerk E.M. Jones thought he remembered that such a deed had been recorded. He’d misled Jenkins if it hadn’t, Jones said, because he thought it had. “I’ve been over there and checked and 1 can’t find it,” Davis said. Jenkins left the room to hurry over to the clerk’s office. Roger Batchedler, who’d helped him obtain the land, followed. Ned Jones also got up to go help them look. Jenkins returned soon. “W’as it down there?” George Davis ask ed. “You’d better believe it,” Jenkins said. Davis looked it over. “I see what the problem is. It’s been recorded but it’s never been set to record. So it wasn’t in the index,” said Davis. “Whew! That had me worried,” Ned Jones said. “Are you satisfied?” Pete Luke asked of Davis. “Yep,” the Commonwealth’s Attorney said. DAVIS HAD some comments about the wording of the recommendation. He thought, as Luke had suggested earlier, that some of the wording was redundant. Davis said that the Supervisors were only asked to rezone the lot. Jenkins would have to apply for a use permit before opening the station. Davis also talked about how a gas station and a service garage are two separate uses. “Conditions will generate at a garage that won’t at a gas station,” he said. Davis said this would have to be considered by the Board of Zoning Appeals when Jenkins applied for a use permit. Luke repeated what he referred to as his “three findings”—procedures had been followed, the rezoning wouldn’t change the character of the community, and Mrs. Latham’s house was already obstructed by existing trees.

BEST OVERALL EPA GAS MILEAGE OF ANY 4-CYLINDER CAR BUILT IN AMERICA. According to reported EPA findings, the 1975 Vega achieved 29 miles per gallon in the dynamometer highway driving test, and 22 miles per gallon in the city driving test, when equipped with the available 140-2 four-cylinder engine. It’s included when you order the Vega GT equipment and available at extra cost on all Vega models. But much of the credit for the ’75 Vega’s money-saving mileage goes to the High Energy Ignition and catalytic converter that are standard on all Vegas! AND 75 VEGA OFFERS NEW SAVINGS ON MAINTENANCE, TOO! That’s right, you can save money through ex-, tended recommended maintenance intervals as compared to last year’s. You get 1,500 more miles between oil changes and chassis lubrications, 3,000 more miles between recommended oil filter changes. And for spark plug replacement, the recommended interval has gone from 6,000 in 74 to 22,500 miles in 75! Tough on our Service Department but great for you! Come in now!
