Plant permit denied
The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday denied a special exception request from a Michigan-based company that wanted to build a $2 million lumber treatment plant in t ie southern part of "the county.
In voting 5-0, three of five supervisors said they opposed the Universal Forest Products Inc. plan to erect a 4,00-square-foot plant near Bealeton because the treatment process would use a hazardous chemical, copper chromated arsenate.
In opposing the UFP application, Board of Supervisors Chairman John B. Adams (Scott District) said he believes approval of the special exception permit might set the dangerous precedent of attracting similar industries to Fauquier.
Vice Chairman David A. Botts (Cedar Run District) and Samuel M. Butler (Lee District) said they voted against the UFP plan because the plant posed a potential health “risk” to Bealeton area residents.
Clustering approved
The Fauquier Board of Supervisors Tuesday granted two special exceptions to Delmarva Properties Inc', to cluster 61 lots on 606 acres in southern Fauquier.
The West Point, Va.-based company initially requested special exceptions to subdivide two parcels into large lots. But last month, the county Planning Commission recommended cluster development for the 486-acre and 120-acre sites, which are about four miles apart near Goldvein.
At issue was how to protect the two heavily wooded areas. Delmarva, represented by Remington lawyer Robert Niles, said the timber would best be protected by large lots. The planners argued that such a natural resource would best be preserved by clustering homes and dedicating the remainder of the two parcels to noncommon open space.
The supervisors followed that recommendation duster both parcels.
