Longlea is a Planned Unit Development (PUD), located in the Boston Village Center. The property is owned by the American Security Council Federation (ASCF).
Residential development of . Longlea is capped at 1,000 total dwelling units, with each type of residence capped at specific levels, according to John Egertson, Culpeper County planning director.
The breakdown includes:
Homes built on one-acre and onehalf acre lots, 75 units each; one-quarter acre lots, 150 units; one-sixth and one-eighth acre lots, 100 units each.
Townhomes, 350 units; villas, 150 units; apartments, 50 units; cottages; 90 units; and assisted living, 60 units.
Also planned at the upscale development are a country club, golf course, tennis courts and an equestrian center. A 200-room conference center was also approved.
Build out was projected at 20 years.
The sewage treatment plant currently serving the ASCF property would have to be upgraded from 15,000 gallons per day to 450,000 gallons per day, and disposing of waste water, once again, is the most critical problem faced by the developers.
If Longlea is to be developed, ASCF will have to attract additional investors who can share in the cost of upgrading the waste water treatment facility.
While the Hazel River, which runs alongside and through Longlea should be protected, some county residents, including Mrs. Mello, fear that highdensity development along its banks will ultimately cause the river to become polluted.
Mrs. Mello does not believe that Culpeper’s County’s Village Center zoning will work as planned, and is skeptical about the creation of new towns and large, high-density developments.
“This is a quality of life issue for those of us living here now,” she said.
