Residents of F.T. Valley Road this week are getting what may be a preview of things to come at Miller Farm. On Saturday morning, the farm’s owner, James W. “Bill” Fletcher, had a trailer placed on the edge of his 800acre property.
Fletcher has an application for a conference center and events venue at the form’s 8,000-square-foot manor house pending before the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. The supervisors are scheduled to consider his application for a specialexception permit on May 5.
He also told the County Planning Commission in February that he is exploring the possibility of developing affordable housing at the property.
The trailer currently on the farm is being used as an agricultural storage building for items such as fence posts, salt and animal feed. But when asked if he plans to put more trailers on the property as part of an affordable housing development, Fletcher answered, “That’s still open. Fm just waiting to see what goes on at the next hearing" in May.
“A friend of mine had [the trailerl and found it for me," Fletcher said. “They found me two or three others at a reasonable price."
He said the trailer will not remain at its current location.
“It was wet on Saturday, so I didn’t want to move it through the field a lot," Fletcher said.
He added that he will have to move it anyway to bring other trailers onto the property.
