(Continued from Page 1) division check list drawn up by County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner. He explained that he’d done the project as a flow chart rather than a standard list since many of the items were not required to be done in order but instead occurred simultaneously or depended on previous action. Masterson suggested that Zoning Administrator, Planning Commission and Supervisor activity be colorcoded so responsibility could be easily determined. Masterson and Barksdale both noted the advisability of having a date and signature on an applicant’s first contact with the administrator.

On many occasions, county authorities may be dealing with people who do not understand how to develop, noted Miller. He advised that applicants for subdivision approval be given—or sold—copies of Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision ordinance “and see that they comply with it.”

Burden on Subdivides

“We need to make sure that the ordinances are studied,” Miller continued. “The burden ought to be on the subdivider to comply with the ordinances rather than on the county to lead them around by the hand.” He suggested that each item, or station, in the flow chart check list be numbered and a record kept of the date on which each was complied with.
