mostly pickup trades to haul firewood and mulch, and that is no different than what a resident or fanner would be allowed to drive on the road and park at the property.
Alvin Henry, who represents the Hampton District, painted out that piles of wood and mulch are agricultural commodities and are therefore permitted without a permit in the agricultural zone.
Henry also said that comparisons between Williams and B&S Site Development’s failed attempt for a permit on Seven Ponds Road are not appropriate. Williams’ business blends more with the agricultural properties on Ben Venue than the B&S did with the residential neighborhood in Amissville, he said.
Commission Chairman Charles Strittmatter represents Wakefield District where Williams business is located. Strittmatter suggested attaching a review process to Williams’ permit to ensure that the operation accommodates neighbors’ concerns.
Commissioners agreed that the business’s permit should be • up for review in five years, and recommended the permit for approval by a vote of 6 to 1.
Jackson District Commissioner Raymond Brown was the only Planning Commission member to oppose the application. Brown said Williams’ operation has outgrown his lot and he should find a different location for the business.
The County Board of Supervisors will consider Williams’ application at its monthly meeting at 7 pun. an Monday.
