More ’73 Ordinances Available
Additional copies of the 1973 Zoning Ordinance and the county's subdivision ordinance now are available at the Treasurer's Office at a cost of $6 and $3, respectively.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke ordered 30 copies of each of the county’s current ordinances when he discovered supplies had been depleated. In confirming availability of the documents, County Treasurer Francis Foster said, “I’m sure people have been asking about them.”
Foster also said copies of the proposed zoning ordinance are available to the public for $8 each.
Treasurer’s Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
• Litigation Discussed By Supervisors
Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors convened in executive session September 10 to discuss possible litigation. No statement in regard to the litigation was made when the supervisors reconvened in public session.
Just prior to the executive session, Jim Grehan of Amissville complained to the board of a neighbor who shoots guns outside “all the time.” Before moving into executive session, supervisors indicated it was Grehan’s concern they needed to discuss.
• Ordinance Consolidation Planned
Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors hopes to consolidate and update what could amount to numerous ordinances soon: Some have been on the books since 1833 and may be outdated or out of compliance with state codes.
Supervisors say it’s a big job, one they’ve assigned to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. Luke discussed the status of researching the ordinances dining the supervisors’ September 10 meeting.
Luke said he had applied earlier this year with Rappahannock and Fauquier counties to get a student who could begin the arduous task of tracking ordinances through stacks of minutes to past supervisor meetings. The response: No student was qualified.
Historical Society volunteers picked up the task, Luke explained, and have begun the process. Their problem, according to County Clerk Diane Bruce: Trying to figure out if something is an ordinance or not. ‘They have a thousand questions,” Bruce noted.
The goal is to consolidate ordinances, revise them where necessary, then reproduce them in pamphlet form. Supervisor Nelson Lane said he’d support a “modest appropriation” to get the job done this year, although a specific amount of money for the project was not discussed.
Supervisors made no fiirther recommendations or decisions on the project.
