Topic: A Resolution to Waive a Rezoning Application Fee

 

Fauquier County has been in litigation regarding a subdivision plat and construction plan for the Coles Building Corporation and Ms. Leocade Leighton since 1987.  The subdivision known as Broken Hills Section Five is located near Brookside in Scott District , and the issue dealt, in part, with an illegal platting and an identified grading violation of the Subdivision Ordinance. 

Ms. Leighton has offered to initiate a rezoning application to resolve the lotting issues, with no net gain in subdivision density.  The Department of Community Development and the County Attorney ’s Office agree that this approach to resolve the lotting problem has merit, and recommend that the Board of Supervisors waive the rezoning application fee for Ms. Leighton’s upcoming submission.  Such a County fee waiver and the applicant’s filing represent a good faith effort from both parties to resolve this long standing case, and will be consistent with the Circuit Court’s decree (In Chancery No. 7902; 1987) issued in 1993.

Requested Action of the Board of Supervisors:

Consider adoption of the attached resolution.

 

Financial Impact Analysis:

None required.
