Rappahannock Commonwealth Attorney George Davis informed the Supervisors at last Thursday’s Board meeting that the county does not have to meet state requirements on adopting a Comprehensive Plan by 1980. Rappahannock already has such a plan, said Davis. “If you read the statute, you’ll see that a comprehensive plan consists of a zoning ordinance, subdivision ordinance, maps on flood plains and maps that show residential, agricultural and conservation areas. We have every bit of that in our ordinances,” claimed Davis.
Davis’s remarks were occasioned by a report from Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke on a request from the county Planning Commission for a joint meeting with the Board.
Luke told the Board that the Planners wanted guidance on how they should proceed in their work. The Planning Commission, when created in 1962, was charged with the collection of data for formulating a comprehensive plan as a general guide for county growth, said Luke.
“Now, wait a minute,” interrupted Davis. “You wait a minute. I’ve got the floor now. I’m the chairman anyway,” Luke responded. He continued with a warning that the time allowed for completion of a comprehensive plan was rapidly disappearing. “We’re running out of rope. We’re right at the end of the rope. . .Let’s start doing our homework.”
