Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, representing Dr. Rish, said that since the owners of these lots would share an interest in the remaining 113 acres, that land should be considered part of the five lots.

Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser maintained that in computing allowed density 50 acres should first be subtracted for the golf course and 20 acres subtracted for the lodge, creating a residue of 68 acres, which would allow only two more lots to be created.

County Administrator John McCarthy disagreed with that reading of the zoning ordinance, but said the residue would constitute a lot, and that therefore only four houses could be built. All agreed that they would need a slope analysis of the property to determine allowed density.

The planners asked Dr. Rish to provide further information, specifically a slope analysis, and responses to a number of concerns raised in the public hearing for the March meeting and warned him that they still may not feel able to vote on his proposal at that meeting.

Earlier, the planners re-elected Allen Stokes as chairman and David Fannon as vice chairman. They also recommended approval for a special exception for a two-acre parcel on J. Clifford Miller’s farm outside Sperryville, a special use permit for Mrs. Arland Welch to construct a building for the Huntly Post Office, and a special use permit for Mrs. Virginia Dodson to construct a family apartment in a separate building on her property for her daughter.

They also approved Robert Metcalfe’s request to withdraw his special exception application for the Flint Hill packing shed “without prejudice.” That means that he can reapply at any time.

There were no public comments on the Capital Improvements Plan, and the planners voted to adopt it as advertised except that they dropped the library’s request for $100,000 for next year and added $10,000 for land acquisition for a new school.

The planners also voted to add, as a requirement for family subdivisions, that a person must own the land for five years before applying for a family subdivision.
