Topic: |
|
A
Resolution to Authorize Fauquier County to Maintain a
Proposed Trail to be Located in the Virginia Department of
Transportation Right-of-Way Along a Portion of Bear Wallow
Road, Adjacent to the Silver Cup Subdivision |
|
Topic Description: |
|
The residents of the Silver
Cup Subdivision and SYG Associates, Inc., developer, have
requested that the trail shown on the approved Final
Constructions Plan in the subdivision’s common open space be
relocated into the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
right-of-way, in order to alleviate concerns expressed by
the residents of the Silver Cup Subdivision. While County
staff and VDOT support this proposed location change, VDOT
has advised that it will not maintain the trail and will not
accept the location of the trail within the right-of-way
without an agreement from Fauquier County to maintain the
trail. If the Fauquier Board of Supervisors agrees to
assume the maintenance of the trail, the County will need to
make a permit application with VDOT. Construction of this
segment of trail by SYG will complete an essential link in
the County Trail Plan. |
