Mrs. Doris Donal, first speaker for the opponets, read from an article appearing in the April 21 Washington Post reporting on a denial of an application from the Unification Church for a campground.
She followed it up with a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Oren Bruton who live on Route 622, a mile from the N.P.E.A. camp. The Brutons proposed that the pavillion be enclosed and insulated to remove a “public nuisance from a quiet, residential community” and that trailer hook-ups be disallowed. Without these restrictions, they wrote, land values in the area will deteriorate.
Mrs. Donal maintained that people should have been given the right to voice opposition before the initial approval for the campground was given to N.P.E.A. “The project was well underway before we could find out what was being built,” she said.
Admiral Gardiner noted that no approval for the structures on the N.P.E.A. property or for camping facilties had been given by the BZA, that the issue had never before been brought before the BZA.
“We were in touch with McNear while this was going on,” Mrs. Donal replied in reference to the zoning administrator.
“McNear is not a member of this board,” stated Gardiner.
