PLANNING COMMISSION
Wednesday, July 25, 2007

Present:  Ms. Philippa Proulx, Ms. Emily Hunt, Mr. Mike Harman, Ms. Linda
Russell and Mr. Tommy Harvey (Board Liaison)

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/MR. RILEY JONES - Staff reported that Mr. Jones is
still waiting for his attorney to finalize paperwork.  Commissioners voted
5-0 to continue the permit request until their August meeting.

FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAT/MR. DARYL E. MORSE - The applicant submitted a final
plat to divide 9.66 acres into 4 lots, ranging in size from 2.0 to 2.3
acres, on property located on Lobo Lane (Rt. 734) in Arrington.  The four
lots will be served by a private street with a cul-de-sac.  With no public
comment, Commissioners voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the plat
contingent on the following:

  1. Health Department approval;
  2. VDOT approval;
  3. A permit from VA Department of Conservation and Recreation or a
stormwater management plan as needed;
  4. A land disturbing permit and bond;
  5. Notification to the Planning Director as to when the road is to be
built.

Mr. Harvey questioned whether the conditions are needed since most of the
requirements are from other agencies and the applicant cannot proceed
without those approvals.  Ms. Russell said that adding the conditions to the
motion puts the requirements on the official record and noted that the plat
cannot be signed without the approvals.

ADDITIONS TO AGRICULTURAL/FORESTAL DISTRICTS - Mr. Andy Wright, Chair,
Agricultural/Forestal Districts Advisory Committee reported that the
Committee had reviewed the two requests and makes the following
recommendation:

  1.  Addition of 11.501 acres to the Dutch Creek District - recommends
acceptance; and

  2.  Addition of 17.26 acres to the Davis Creek District - recommends
acceptance contingent on the applicant's submission of a topographic map
prior to the Commission's public hearing on the addition.  Mr. Wright
reported that, while the addition is adjacent to family land already in the
district, a topo map is required by county code and must, therefore, be
submitted as part of the application.

Commissioners voted 5-0 to accept the Committee's report and direct staff to
advertise the two additions for public hearing.

Meeting adjourned.
