As residents of Rappahannock
County we are urging the Board of Supervisors to deny The Fletcher Conference Center/Resort application for a special exception for the reasons outlined below. Approval of this application will diminish property values and adversely affect the peace and eryoyment of neighbors for miles around. It also stands to set a precedent which would allow similar commercial operations county-wide.
The conference center/resort is a commercial enterprise that has no place in the FT Valley one of the most historic and beautiful areas of Rappuhannock County and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
This is a special exception application - not a use permitted by right. As such, our elected Board of Supervisors must consider the precedent that will be set should this application be approved. Rappahannock County has carefully crafted and preserved zoning laws - our bulwark ugainst inappropriate development such as the proposed Conference Center.
This application fails to satisfy the following general standards required in the Zoning Code that are the minimum level required as a test for consideration and aoDroval.
