May 1. The crowd was so large the hearing was canceled by order of the Sheriff because of fire codes.
A subsequent forum arranged by RLEP at The Theatre in Washington was well attended, and everyone had an opportunity to express their opposition to the Kellerco plan.
The Planning Commission adopted a motion opposing the Kellerco plan and decided to hold another open forum to solicit public views on the county’s future. This was a part of the ongoing effort to upgrade the county’s Comprehensive Plan. Following that forum, the planners set up a series of additional public forums focusing on specific issues.
E-911
After years of planning, Enhanced 911 was finally implemented in Rappahannock County in December. Road signs were put up, residents notified of their new addresses, and eventually the system was hooked up.
The county ran into unanticipated difficulties with both companies supplying local telephone service. Bell Atlantic said it would not give permission to switch their Culpeper customers until Culpeper has its own E911 system, presumably some time in 1996. The company has also said it will not switch over Sperryville customers on the 987 exchange until 95 percent of them have notified the company of their new addresses.
Sprint-Centel has cooperated in switching its customers, both those with 675 exchange numbers and those from the northern part of the county with 635 and 636 numbers, but they attempted to have a contract drafted that would assign liability to the county for any problems caused by the system. State law prohibits the county from assuming such liability. The actual contract assigns such liability to the county “to the extent allowed by law.”
Village Proposal
Throughout the spring there were rumors of a huge development planned for Sperryville on land owned by the Miller family. Finally in mid-summer the plan became public. J. Clifford Miller III believes that if the Comprehensive Plan calls for development to be put in the village areas to keep most of the county open for farming, Sperryville, with a centralized sewage treatment plant, is a logical place for development to go.
His plans include shopping, up to 100 houses and community recreational areas. This proposal has met
