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 Johnson Lane, in Newport Magisterial District and the application of Rae Parker, Jr., owner, and Daniel Keusal, prospective owner, fora change in zoning classification from A-1, Agricultural Limited, to C-A-2, Conditional Agricultural General, approximate 1 [J 1 BooK 14 ~~::-?11 180 acres and to C-R-1, Conditional Residential Limited, approximately 120 acres, and to C-R-2, Conditional Residential General, and to C-R-3, Conditional Townhouse District, approximately 250 acres, a total of approximately 590 acres of land, looted on the east side of Route 665, between Route 712 and Johnson Lane, in Newport Magisterial District..
