Duiiaing tne garage several years ago. “You agreed that if I put the garage back in the mountain, you’d have no complaint," he said, noting that he’d bought an additional piece of property so he could comply with Parrish’s wishes. ‘‘Now what’s your complaint?” Settle asked.
For Garage
Speakers in favor of the ordinance amendment likewise limited their comments to Settle’s garage. “I don’t see how it would hurt anybody to let the man have what he asks for,” said Brown Compton who lives directly in front of the site.
Speaking for herself and her husband, Mrs. David Compton added her support. “We’re all for it. 1 don't see how it will hurt anybody.”
“You’re going to have a permit with rules laid down that you’re going to have to follow,” said Joyce Settle. “I see no reason why with a use permit, a person can’t go about his business...There are not too many places in the county where you can make a living,” she said, adding that two-thirds of Rappahannock’s residents have to leave the county to find jobs.
“I’m in favor of the garage," stated Mrs. Hazel Cook.
“I’m in favor of the garage too, as long as we have some controls,” interjected Parrish.
Commissioner David Fannon emphasized that if the ordinance amendment is adopted by the supervisors, it will only give Settle the right to apply to the board of zoning appeals for a permit, not automatic authorization for his garage and used car sales. He pointed out that the BZA can attach “stringent conditions" to the permit, even going so far as to require that the site be screened.
“I understand what you’re saying,” Settle replied. “I’m after new dealers tags and state inspection station and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get it.”
Like Miller, Fannon said he too had reservations on the proposed ordinance amendment, particularly the allowance of used car sales. “But I think it can be handled," he added.
J. R. Latham, representing the supervisors at the planning commission meeting in the absence of E. P. Luke, was asked to comment. The amendment “implicates more than this one case of Mr. Settle’s. I think that’s what we’ve got to look at,” he responded.
With no further discussion, the vote was unanimous to recommend approval of the proposed ordinance amendment to the supervisors.
