Following a public outcry against the ordinance amendments that alledgedly open slopes over 14 per cent to “commercial exploitation," the Supervisors, at their December meeting, requested the Planning Commission to consider revisions to the amendments.
At a special meeting on December 14, the Planners agreed on changes requiring a public hearing and special use permit for commercial outdoor recreation on slopes over 14 per cent (conservation districts). They proposed no revisions to the amendment section that allows commercial recreation by right in business of commercial (B-2) districts. In suggesting the revisions, both the Supervisors and the Planners emphasized that their intent was to allow the Ski Corporation to proceed with its plans to reopen the Harris Hollow site as a year-round recreation venture.
The Planners were to set a date for a joint public hearing on the revisions to the amendments at their regular meeting held Wednesday, December 20. However, with only chairman H. S. Barksdale, Newbill Miller and Walter Masterson attending, there were not enough members present for a quorum, so no action was taken.
