Mr. McCarthy said they found they would have to eliminate from the plan land between the road that serves the School Board offices and Rappahannock Elementary and the Shade Road because soils in that area will not handle septic systems.
He also said only 20 percent of the land could be covered by buildings. This is much more than is currently used. Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser noted that Fairfax County allows 50 percent of the land to be covered. Mr. McCarthy said having to rely on septic systems meant that 20 percent was the most dense allowable.
Mr. McCarthy said that the land could be used more completely if the area is served by a sewage treatment plant and that the area between the elementary school and the Shade Road could be developed, but that sewage treatment was not financially feasible.
He said that the firm is currently working on documentation to go with the drawings and that after that is completed, landowners in the area will be asked for their comments on the plan.
He also noted that in the “current economic climate” he does not expect much of the plan to be implemented soon.
