Would the county not benefit more from having a well run ski and alpine slide resort than a housing development? If not run as a resort area, certainly the conclusion is compelling that the area would at best be cut up into 25 acre lots for sale to permanent residents and at worst into an unattractive, repulsive commercial area allowed under the present zoning.
Perhaps the few residents of Harris Hollow who have spoken in opposition to this project, and all of whom, incidentally, appear to have purchased their property AFTER the ski area became a part of this county in 1961, should consider what will happen to this property if the present application is denied.
Rappahannock has developed as a resort and recreational area. Does not a recreational area such as that proposed fit into Rappahannock like a size six hand fits into a size 6 glove?
