Rappahannock N*w« Staff Writer — At its monthly meeting last week, the Fauquier County Planning Commission tabled the special exception application of Wakefield School to build a new educational facility at Archwood Farm, south of The Plains.
Wakefield School, which has been operating in its temporary location at Marshall Manor since its eviction from its original site in Huntly, in Rappahannock County, in August of 1991, hopes to make a permanent home at Arch wood Farms.
In a staff report that was presented to the Planning Commission at its July 29 meeting, planner Laura Cox recommended that the vote on the application be tabled until the Virginia Department of Transportation could make a complete recommendation concerning traffic patterns. In addition, county engineer Linda Unkefer submitted a report indicating that the water storage tank on the site may not provide adequate flow for firefighting.
Ms. Cox’s report indicated that the proposal meets all of the other criteria of the Comprehensive Plan.
But utilities may prove to be another glitch in Wakefield’s plan. Because the school lies just outside the service district, the Water and Sanitation Authority cannot extend public utilities to the site without the approval of the Planning Commission.
Under Section 15.1-456 of the Code of Virginia, the Planning Commission must approve extensions of utility lines beyond the service districts unless they are specifically shown in the Comprehensive Plan. If they are not shown, the Planning Commission must determine whether or not the proposed extension is in substantial conformance
