that development and boundary studies were not what they vyanted and cooperation with us would not be forthcoming.
During the course of the fall and winter of 1999, drafts of work were furnished to Mr. Brown for review and comment. We also furnished drafts of community surveys to be mailed out to citizens to get their opinions on development, boundaries, water, zoning and any needed commercial services. We were instructed by Mr. Brown not to send out these surveys but to continue the work on the plan.
The original schedule set by the planning commission was to complete the development studies by April 2000. On March 17, I mailed draft copies of a Commercial Area Plan for Amissville with Village Boundaries and Community Improvements to Mr. Raymond Brown and the other Planning Commission members. The plan was designed to try to give the planners options for selecting boundaries and commercial locations that would serve present and future needs of Amissville.
For example: Option #1 village boundary is approximately the unofficial village of about 143 people that exists today. Nothing would change. This option was not discussed in the article in the Rappahannock News.
This project was done at the direction of and for the Planning Commission. For any one other than them to release it publicly is irresponsible, especially when all the facts were not presented completely and accurately.
We all love our community, so let’s work together to make it a place we can all be proud of.
