sioner Bob Anderson. “Then he could do what he wants. Who is going to police who rents it? Or control who lives there?”
Mr. Dennis volunteered the assistance of Art Larson, PEC’s staff attorney, to work with Mr. McCarthy on the easement requirements.
“We’d like that input,” Dr. Krebser responded. “We appreciate the help ... If we can get the right arrangement (with Mr. Dwyer), we can certainly point to that (when subsequent cluster proposals are submitted).”
David Chuse, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, asked if there’s a way flood plain and steep slopes could be eliminated before a parcel’s allowable density is determined.
“That’s a good question. That’s one of the biggest problems I see,” said Commissioner Fannon. A means of keeping this undevelopable land from counting towards density must be devised, and soon, he maintained, because “as soon as the big population centers get closer to Rappahannock, we’re going to be inundated with cluster proposals.”
“You could subtract out that undevelopable land,” Mr. Dennis suggested. (Then, for example, if a landowner had 100 acres with 10 in flood plain and 40 on steep slopes, the allowable density would be just two dwelling units, not four.)
To further preclude upping the number of smaller lots with steeply sloped land, Commissioner Krebser proposed that consideration be given to dropping the density in conservation zones to one dwelling unit per 50 acres, what it was before adoption just last December of the revised zoning ordinance.
By consensus, the commissioners agreed to instruct Mr. McCarthy to work with the PEC attorney and to react to Dr. Krebser’s proposal for decreasing density on land with slopes of over 14 percent. The zoning administrator, who was on vacation and did not attend the commission’s meeting, left word that action on Mr. Dwyer’s proposal could be deferred.
