Work Session Scheduled Again
Rappahannock’s Planning Commissioners and members of the Board of Supervisors will meet again in joint work session September 19 to discuss more revisions of the county’s proposed zoning ordinance. The decision to conduct another work session was made by the joint board August 31 following a two-hour meeting on the ordinance.
Some text revisions were made; more revisions are expected during the next work session, according to Planning Commissioner Newbill Miller, who chaired the August 31 session. (See feature, this page.)
County officials believe the work sessions are necessary to prepare for a series of community meetings to be scheduled by district around the county. Dates for the community meetings on the proposed ordinance have not yet been announced.
Some of the more-than-60 citizens who attended the August 31 work session blasted county officials for the proposed coument, saying it's too long and too restrictive. Three people asked, county officials to drop the proposed zoning ordinance and start over. Said Ron Frazier of Amissville: “We want to work with you, use the Comprehensive Plan and revise the 1973 Zoning Ordinance.”
Future work sessions and the community meetings, when scheduled, will be advertised in the Rappahannock Newt two weeks in advance, officials said.
