“My feeling at the end of the meeting was that there weren’t really any sticking points,” said Mr. Fisher.
• Discussed making the town’s trash collection, now a $4,000-peryear budget item, self-sufficient by charging for it. No action was taken.
• Were updated by council member Ray Gooch that the monthly recycling program is scheduled for 9 a. m. Saturday, July 20.
“We keep getting more and more volume, which is terrific,” said Mr. Gooch.
• Repeated that the joing public hearing on the town-county boundary adjustments will be held at 7 p.m. Aug. 5 with the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors.
• Were informed by Mr. Reynolds that title work on the so-called stub streets may be finished in time for the August meeting.
• Authorized Mr. Fisher to make a inspection on the old library building, soon to become the Washington Town Hall.
• Held a long discussion on the search for a back-up town well. The council decided to hold off on drilling any more wells following several fruitless wells. Other strategies were suggested.
• Heard a report from Mr. Miller on the town’s scenic vistas and historic setting. Mr. Miller proposed restricting the ability of developers to serve new subdivisions around the town with gravel driveways.
“It’s possible that most if not all” new developments would end up with gravel roads that VDOT would refuse to take into the state road system, said Mr. Miller.
He proposed an amendment to the zoning ordinance that would require all lots within one mile of Washington smaller than 25 acres be required to have frontage on a statemaintained road or a private road to be built to state specifications.
The motion will be transcribed and discussed again at the council’s Aug. 14 meeting.
