Faced with opposition from neighboring landowners and questionable legality under county ordinances, the Rappahannock Planning Commissioners voted unanimously last week to recommend denial of an exception to subdivision regulations requested by Mrs. Luther Stuart and the Amissville Ruritan Club.
Mrs. Stuart and the Ruritans were seeking approval to subdivide an 11% acre lot fronting on the south side of Route 211 in “downtown” Amissville. According to zoning administrator David Konick, Mrs. Stuart wants to split off her house and 3.1 acres and give the remaining 8.66 acres (where the Ruritan ballfields are located) to the club. The larger lot has no frontage on a state road; its only access to Route 211 is over a 20 foot right-ofway, Konick said, adding that Mrs. Stuart proposed to donate 20 more feet to increase the right-of-way to 40 feet.
