could get a special permit for a specific event and maybe even charge an admissions tax which would go to the county.
She also said that meals should not be advertised on signs for B&BS.
County Administrator John McCarthy said he felt these suggestions for changes to the proposal were good because he did not want to have to get into a situation, as Zoning Administrator, where he had to act like a cop, spying on how many meals were being served and who was eating them.
Mr. Stone also said that he felt the acreage and right of way issues for the proposal should be dealt with on an individual permit basis.
However, Mr. McCarthy said that if you’re going to have an acreage size there should be a minimum standard so people will know up front what they need.
He will draw up a new proposal for next months meeting.
In other business, the Commission approved a request to convert the Dorothy T. Taylor property in Sperryville from a two-story dwelling to a duplex, with the stipulation that the duplex have at least four parking spaces.
The Commission noted that the request is a good use for the property and that there is a need for good lowincome housing in the area.
The Commission also approved a request by Pat Saltonstall for a boundary adjustment to two existing 25 acre parcels provided that the final survey should show that the lots should not be less than 10 acres each.
The properties each have a duplex on them now and the objective is to divide them into a little over 10 acre lots and adjust the area boundary into the balance of the farm, Points of View.
In old business, the Commission discussed a proposal by Mike Massie, Board of Supervisors representative to the Planning Commission, concerning amendments to the Conservation Zoning District Land Development Regulations.
Mr. Massie proposes four changes: Change the minimum density in the Conservation “C” zone from one house per 25 acres to one house per 50 acres; Eliminate the slope calculations (this is no longer necessary given that the density has changed); Change the definition of “lot” in the “C” zone to any parcel of less than 100 acres (it is important to note that when developing, a special exception would be required for more then three lots cumulative since 1973 as the Zoning Chapter currently states); and require the owner of the land in the “C* zone to submit an E&S Plan only if more than two acres is cleared for the homestead area (exclusive of driveway).
The last part of Mr. Massie’s proposal regarding the amount of land which can be cleared was a point of some disagreement among Commission members.
Mr. Massie said, “I don’t mean to circumvent all the work that has already been done but it seems there should be a simpler process for people to buy land and make a proposal themselves for clearing and building on it.”
It was decided that Mr. McCarthy should draw up Mr. Massie’s proposal and include it in next month’s agenda when the Commission will look at the two proposals together and try to come up with a final proposal on the issue.
