The members delayed taking action on Carson and Aline Johnson’s request to rezone about 8.5 acres near Sperryville from Rural Residential (RR) to Village Residential (VR) and Philip Johnson’s request for a special use permit for a family apartment for his brother on property near the Fodderstack Road.
Only the decision on the Santullo subdivision was without controversy.
John Baumgardner reported that he had done the survey work for Mr. Santullo and that the property was irregularly shaped. Normally such a property zoned RR could be divided into two parcels at least five acres each.
Mr. Baumgardner reported that to divide the property equally would result in two lots which were even more strangely shaped. The zoning ordinance allows subdivision that creates lots smaller than five acres if the average density remains one lot per five acres.
No one spoke in opposition to this division, and the planners sent the request for a special exception on to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation that it be approved.

Four bid for
library project
Four companies submitted bids for constructing the new library, ranging in cost from $478,570 to $567,300.
The lowest bid was submitted by Moss Construction Company of Harrisonburg. The next lowest $495,570 was submitted by Nielsen Construction Company, also of Harrisonburg.
Members of the Library Board did not make a decision on awarding the contract at their meeting Monday evening. Some of them have been visiting sites of projects of the two lowest bidders.
The project was advertised under provisions in the Code of Virginia for competitive negotiation rather than by sealed bid, which would have required the owner to take the lowest bid unless that bidder was found to be not responsive or not responsible.
