The case of the
i disappearing
ordinance
One can hear the sounds of grumbling here in
Rappahannock. The lighting ordinance, or lack
thereof, has gotten more and more play as of late. r Citizens want to know what happened to it and why—the lighting ordinance was first drafted more than a year ago by the Planning Commission and dent to the Board of Supervisors in November of 2001, feut it still has not seen the light of day. * The first appearance of the lighting ordinance at a JJoard of Supervisors meeting was in December of $001. At that meeting, the Board agreed to delay a bpblic hearing on the ordinance, at the request of Hampton District Supervisor Bryant Lee, “until Board representatives meet with businesses that may be impacted by the lighting ordinance to obtain their views.” !* The last mention of the lighting ordinance was in March of 2002 when the Board agreed, at the request ijfMr. Lee and Jackson District Supervisor Ron Crazier, to delay advertising of a hearing on the ordinance “so that discussions could be held with constituents and business owners.” ;» Come on Board. Sufficient time has passed to have those discussions, and it is high time to come through. *JV Put the ordinance on the agenda, vote it up or flown as you see fit, and bask in the glory or take your lumps (or both, more likely) ... but do something.
