The planning commission during its regular meeting April 17 recommended approval of an application for a building permit submitted by Eric Kvarnes.
Kvamea, who lives in Gid Brown Hollow and traditionally has operated his glassblowing business there, recently purchased property on Route 211, one mile west of Sperryville. He is in the process of transferring his business to the new site, formerly Charles K. Estes’junkyard.
In a letter to building inspector Emiel Smet, Kvarnes states that he wants a “building permit to close in a building on his property in Sperryville.” His intention is to “create a crafts village for the use of craftspeople as studio space” and he would eventually open the area to the public on weekends.
Kvarnes writes that his plan will benefit everyone involved. “It will provide income for me, workspace for craftspeople....and it will tie down an industrial zone that could have been utilized by all kinds of unpleasant businesses.” Also, “it will provide an area that will draw businesses into the Sperryville area as well as the rest of the county.”
Kvarnes requests a 9-month deferral of the development plan, which zoning laws require be submitted to the BZA before a permit can be issued.
