Zoning “Slipped In” The commercial zoning on Moore’s 300 acres "slipped in unknown” when the Supervisors adopted the county’s revised zoning map in 1973, interjected Miller. (In ’73, Miller was chairman of the Rappahannock Board and representative from Hampton Magesterial District in which the ski area property is located.)

Miller noted that he had been very much involved in zoning and subdivision ordinance adoption proceedings and added that there had been no discussion at that time of commercial zoning for the ski area.

Conspicuous by its absence during the marathon meeting was any reference to the opinion of Commonwealth Attorney George Davis that the ski area special use permit application is unnecessary. Davis relayed his contention to BZA members at a special meeting held the previous week at Herbert Barksdale’s residence in Flint Hill.

According to Davis, Moore already has the right to do everything he’s asking for in his application — from horseback riding to snowless sledding. This would appear to raise the question of who would represent the county should the BZA deny the application and Moore petition the circuit court for a reversal.
