Supervisor s representative on the Planning Commission.
“I don’t agree with Col. Luke’s opinions but I think we’re lucky to have a man of his integrity...honest enough to speak out on the issues,” Ramona Neal responded.
All Above Board . “I don’t think the community has done Mr. Goode a disservice if his rezoning is denied,” she continued. “It’s all been above board. The developer goes into this knowing the regulations he has to meet...I’ve heard innuendos that Mr. Goode could...sue the county. I don’t think so,” she concluded.
“Whether it was Mr. Goode’s fault or the Zoning Offices fault, why did they let him go this far before telling him he needed a rezoning?” asked Herbert Foster. “He’s spent a considerable lot of money...I’m not opposed to this one subdivision here. I do think from here on, the Zoning Office should tell a developer he has to rezone from agriculture to residential before he spends a lot of money.”
Litigation May Bo
Unavoidable
Rappahannock Commonwealth Attorney George Davis, reading at length from county ordinances, advised the Board that they could deny the rezoning if Goode’w proposal didn’t conform ter the language of the ordinances. Davis noted that the developer hai a right to appeal rezoning denial to the circuit court and if the rezoning is approved, any county landowner has the right to appeal. “So I don’t think we’re going to avoid litigation,” he said.
“We can get it either way,” commented Supervisor H. B. Wood.
"Any threat of litigation is absurd,” Davis continued. “As absurd as saying the county doesn’t have a comprehensive plan...lf the Supervisors decide the application conforms to the purpose and intent of the ordinances, they should approve the rezoning. If not, they should deny it.”
