not approach the intensity of use of the auction house.
Dr. Krebser said that he felt the site plan inadequate for the decision-making process, and Mr. Frazier said that he agreed and also suggested adding conditions to make the application more palatable to opponents.
Mr. Junk said that he thought this “a commendable use,” but that the right-of-way concerns make a decision difficult.
With the assistance of Administrator John McCarthy, the Commissioners developed conditions for the application that include: a prohibition on lights and signage; the requirement that softball-related equipment be removed when use ends; a final site plan approved by the Commission or by the Administrator; and a review of the permit by June 1 of 2006. The Commission unanimously approved a positive recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
Comprehensive
Plan review
The first order of business at the Planning Commission meeting was to take comments from Jackson District residents on the County’s Comprehensive Plan.
Chairman Junk permitted comment until the scheduled hearings on the two applications and expected to resume Comprehensive Plan discussions after their conclusion. The duration of those hearings, however, precluded any further discussion, and Mr. Junk said that the Commission would return to Amissville sometime in the spring to continue the plan review process.
Only a few residents had an opportunity to speak, and the tenor of their comments was that the existing Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance do not promote development and housing sufficient for the County to retain its young people.
Bobby Carter said that the reported lack of growth in Rappahannock since the 1930’s indicated that “something here is out of balance,” and he suggested a reduction in the 25acre zoning would be an appropriate fix.
John Ferdetta said that the existing Plan only discourages development and protects things as they are, and he suggested that one goal be to provide housing.
Libby Whetzel joined the chorus of those seeking to reduce the minimum from 25 acres, and asked if a referendum could be conducted to determine what the County’s citizens desire.
