AFTER a second try at a public hearing—the first attempt was terminated by legal questions— and after hearing almost four hours of testimony, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals rejected a use permit application by E.B. and Ruth Updike, to operate a landfill on 36.92 acres on Route 522 between Culpeper and Sperryville. ■*
A resolution supported by all Board members concluded that the "site is unsuitable for its intended use,” and referred the request back to the Board of Supervisors for “appropriate resolution.”
Fanning Baumgardner, the county engineer who conducted an investigation of the proposed site, reported that he thought only about five acres of the sight “might” be suitable for a landfill. Baumgardner told Zoning Appeals Board members that his findings were “pretty much the same” as those of H.G. Epperson, soil extension specialist with the Agronomy Department at VPI. Epperson had concluded that only three or four acres might be suitable.
Nearby landowners, however, thought that the entire site was unfeasible, and through their attorneys, and in personal testimony, they outlined their objections at length.
