Culpeper’s environmental experts concern. “We don’t want to be the new kids on the block,” Howard said, referring to the unfamiliar treatment facility. “Tbo much risk.” A similar treatment plant failed at a site in Canada, he added.

Culpeper’s Planning Commission previously voted unanimously against the project, but a number of changes have been made to bring it more closely in compliance with Culpeper’s Comprehensive Plan.

“They have listened to a lot of the county’s ideas,” said Samuel A. McLearen, Culpeper’s zoning administrator.

Now, McLearen said, the project is “fairly close” to what the Comprehensive Plan calls for.

The Centex project makes up just a portion of the Clevenger’s Village vision Culpeper has planned for its northern tip. It is “just one piece of the total village center,” Howard said. He noted that whatever water treatment facility is used, it will serve future elements of the village. When fully developed, Culpeper County expects up to 4,000 homes to be built in the area.

Culpeper supervisors have several options. They can reject the application, postpone their decision or approve the application without the treatment plant. That last option would require a later upprovul of the plant.

As for transportation, it is estimated that 766 houses would put 7,660 vehicle trios per day on surrounding roads. Many South Wales residents already work in Warrenton or points east, und travel through Fauquier to get to their jobs or shopping

Culpeper County officials said the division on Clevenger’s Comer will likely be deferred.
