Mr. Brown said that he understood that originally there had been an intention to continue the road through to Route 622, which goes back into Harris Hollow. He said that most of the people who lived on the road can’t afford to pay money to fix the road.

Mr. Estes sugested that the supervisors “take this under advisement and research it.” The members agreed to do that and try to have an answer for Mr. Brown by its December meeting.

In other action, the board:

• approved amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to require 10-foot setbacks on the sides and rear of new residential construction on commercially zoned property, to allow administrative approval for temporary mobile home permits rather than requiring approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals, to require 40-foot rather than 25-foot right-ofway easements for power lines in new subdivisions and to specify that only the county could operate a sanitary landfill in the county. They tabled all recommendations concerning subdivision roads to allow the Planning Commission more time to work on them.

• voted to turn down the highway department’s offer of $317 for 3,925 square feet of county property needed to improve Route 639 to the landfill site and instead donate the. land.

• appointed John Borgens, an Amissville resident and licensed clinical social worker in private practice, to the Social Services Board.

• met Dr. John Bums, the new director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Health District. Dr. Bums replaces Dr. John Einarson, who has retired.

• accepted awards for safety from their insurance coverers for workmen’s compensation and general and auto liability.
