Comprehensive Plan Revision ideas
Presented to County Planning Commission on 5/16/12
1) Ridge Top Development - Phil
2) Biking and hiking trails - Phil
3) Wording that indicates a greater respect for the treatment of historic amenities in the County, such as stone walls - Phil
4) The supervisors passed a resolution requesting VDOT not to white line any more roads in Rappahannock. They have agreed. Please mention in Comp Plan that this is a part of our process to maintain our historic and scenic value. – Phil
5) Maintain and encourage the 13 Shenandoah National Park trailheads that originate in Rappahannock County. A private property owner closed the Big Devil Stairs trailhead access. - Phil
6) Consider eliminating the 3 major billboards located in Rappahannock County. Any billboards in excess of 3’ X 4’ should be considered non-conforming, nor should they be replaced or repaired or have the message changed – Phi
7) Eliminate off-site real estate signs – Ron
8) Special Events in the County. Ron suggested that these not be decided by number of events or number of people but rather on whether they can be policed - Ron
9) More done to protect and enhance tourism. He supported Phil’s idea for protecting trailheads and to ask VDOT to make parking sites available at these locations - Rick
10) Protection of streams and vegetation along streams. What is now in there, is too piecemeal – Bev Hunter
