Washington Mayor Stu Willis proposed to convene a special meeting on Sept. 29 to air Peter Kramer’s appeal of the ARB’s Mercantile Building/Clopton House decision. In a letter to County Administrator John McCarthy on Aug. 31, Kramer appealed the decisions of Aug. 12 and Aug. 27 by the Washington Architectural Review Board for Historic Resources that approved “the demolition of historic buildings and interesting architectural treatments to historic structures located on the Kramer property and the Clopton House.” The Mercantile Building/Clopton House complex is to be used by Sunnyside Farms, LLC. as retail space for the farm’s products and offices, and plans were presented to the Tbwn’s ARB in August.
In a related activity, the Town Council heard and approved the application by Sunnyside Farms for a Special Use Permit for a retail expansion of the Mercantile Building that would exceed 1,000 square feet (to a total of 1,500 square feet). The motion approving the permit noted that the approval was contingent upon the approvals by the Virginia Department of Transportation of ingress and egress plans, and by the Virginia Department of Health for the retail use of the property.
The Council also approved the granting of a one year extension of the Eldred Special Use Permit that allowed construction of two guest rooms in Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern.
