Reynolds told the council that if they planned to approve the subdivision, they must state the reason for granting waivers for the drainfields and the right-of-way dedication.

Wickens moved that the subdivision request be denied because of the ordinance provisions not met, drainfields and right-of-way dedication. His motion failed for lack of a second.

Gooch moved to approve the subdivision, subject to the following conditions: that the homeow ners’ association documents be approved by Reynolds, that the right-of-way requirement be met by a five-foot reservation on the two lots fronting Blue Ridge Ave., that the septic field provision be waived in the public interest, that the water line serving the subdivision meet Virginia’s fire code, that drainfield easements for the off-site fields be recorded with their companion deeds, that the bond requirements for road improvements be guaranteed by personal surety and that none of those lots be sold until the improvements are completed.

The subdivision was approved by a 4-1 vote, with Skowronski, Fisher, Gooch and Mrs. Willis in favor, and Wickens against. Mayor Morehouse and Lynch abstained.
