Andy Sustair, landowner in the County, requested again the
Board's assistance in getting Route 646 hard surfaced as soon as
possible because of the narrow road and pot holes. Mr. Sustair
stated a meeting had been held with the community people and the
Department of Transportation. All the property owners will
donate a 10 feet additional right-of-way width except one.
Following discussion, Mr. Sustair agreed to meet gain with that
person and try to obtain the necessary right-of-way. Mr. Sustair
distributed pictures to the Board members depicting the
conditions of Route 646. Mr. Sustair further stated there would
be one resident along Route 646 who would experience a hardship
if he were required to donate a 10 feet right-of-way because his
house is near the roadway.
R. W. Coates, Resident Engineer, Department of
Transportation, stated the proposed road improvement was not in
the "Six Year Plan", it is over four miles long, the cost would
be approximately $1,000,000 and the traffic count was low. Mr.
Coates continued saying the road could be built on 40 feet width,
but it would not be as good. Right-of-ways need to be obtained
and the Department of Transportation would proceed if the Board
of Supervisors would provide the needed funds, he stated..
Rev. Vincent Thomas thanked Mr. Coates for cleaning up the
brush on the bad curve on Route 10 in Rushmere and asked for help
in obtaining a proper chemical to keep the brush down. Mr.
Coates suggested that since the Highway Department has cut the
brush down, perhaps the Rushmere citizens would keep the brush
under control. However, if they have problems the Highway
Department will lend a hand, he stated.

OooK 14 ~~~~210
growth, whether the proffered conditions were enforceable and the
expansion of Hampton Roads Sanitary District sewer lines into the
County. Supervisor Edwards stated the people do not want this
project.
' Supervisor Ross stated he was opposed to too fast growth and
urged the Board members to vote against the application.
Supervisor Bradshaw spoke in favor of the application noting
that progress is necessary and change•is inevitable. He referred
to his travels abroad and how slums in Korea are being replaced
bX high rise apartment buildings. He referred to his experience
' with his father in farming and how he had to threaten to leave
home to take a job with the Virginia Game Commission in order to
persuade his father to change to "combining peanuts" and employ
more advanced technology in their farming enterprise. By going
to the more advanced equipment they were able to reduce farm
employees from 25-30 to 2-3. He referred'to Fairfax County where
~ a son of his, who is a Major in the United States Air Force,
belongs to a homeowners association and how well that works to
maintain recreation and facilities in a large subdivision
development. He stated he was concerned with the size of this
proposed development, but it appears to be well planned with
homeowners' association controls provided to regulate the
development. Supervisor Bradshaw further argued that Isle of
Wight County needs to plan and regulate development in the
future. He admitted that people had to have affordable housing
but the County is "filling up with trailers". These trailers
cost as much as more permanent housing. He further cited the
City of Cherry Hill, New Jersey as an example of poor planning.
He finally concluded by noting the need for sewerage in both the
Smithfield and Windsor areas of the County. and stated that
approving this proposal will greatly help to finance and bring in
needed sewerage for the northern end of the County.
Supervisor Turner stated that approval of this project will
provide sewerage for the northern end of the County which badly
needs it. It will also enable the County to direct the growth in
• that area which has the potential .for growth. He pointed out
that industry .cannot locate in the area of Route 17 because of
the lack of sewerage. He stated that he had a farm on Route 17
that will perk but most of the land along 17 will not. There is
a great need for sewerage in the area, for the residents. there.
now, and it will open up the area for commercial and industrial
growth. He compared the foresight of the City Council of Suffolk
for putting in water and sewerage to promote industrial growth.
He mentioned that a reporter came to him and said we donut need
1700 lots at one time and he .agreed; however, he told the
reporter that the Count might need the 1700 lots over a period
1 of ten years. Citing his family history of four generations of
farmers, Supervisor Turner pointed out that the farmland in that
area is not good productive farm land. By developing the land in
that area it will reduce the pressure to develop more suitable
farm land for residential growth in the other areas of the
County. He concluded by stating that the proffers in this
proposal are- the first step in the County towards developers
paying their share of the costs to the County.
Chairman Bradby stated that he had voted .against the
proposed development in the Lawne's Creek area because the
developer proposed to have a package treatment plant that would
discharge into-the James River or would drain into the Creeks
going to the James River after land application of the treated
sewerage. He stated he was a Waterman and was well aware of what
pollution had done to the James River and Chesapeake Bay. He
stressed that the County cannot allow small developers to put in
package treatment plants which would add to the pollution
problem. He said he favored Hampton Roads Sanitation District
handling the sewerage in a professional way to minimize
pollution. He concluded that the County needs to look into the
future to conserve the natural resources.
Supervisor Bradshaw moved the Board approve the applications
of Crown Creek Land Trust for a change in zoning classification
from A-1, Agricultural Limited, to Conditional R-3, Conditional
Townhouse Residence District, approximately 90 acres of land
located on the east side of Route 665, between Route 712 and
