Chairman Bradby called for citizens to speak in favor of or in opposition

Steven.Romeo, Langley and McDonald, appearing on behalf of H. W.
Roberson .Company, Tnc., stated there have not been any interested parties in
developing commercial ventures on the property. since 1988 and the highest and
best use. for the land should be residential as it is surrounded by residential
development and by jurisdictional .wetlands around part of its perimeter. The
community impact assessment prepared indicates that there will be no burden of
school-age childrento the County's school system as this proposal will generate
only approximately twenty-six (26) students. The traffic impact of a residential
development verses a commercial development would be less of a burden on the
intersection of Cantebeny Lane and the Route 10 and .the- infrastructure for this
project is already in place: The developer has. also agreed to amend the proffers
previously submitted to provide for no more than forty-four (44) residential lots
as opposed to .forty-eight (48) residential lots and to offer a cash. proffer of
$2,000 per lot.
Chairman Bradby called for comments from-the Board.
County Attorney Crook statedthe Board would need the proffers submitted.
in writing before the Board takes action on the application. County Attorney
Crook noted the applicant has addressed the concerns of the Planning
Commission concerning the number of lots and the. sliding. scale on cash proffers;
however, the Planning Commission did express concern that it did not want to
see this commercial tract become a residential area noting the large. number of
existing residential. lots which remain undeveloped in the existing subdivision.
He stated the applicant did explain to the Planning Commission that they have
not been. able to market the commercial: area and there is a market for residential
lots.
Supervisor Cofer stated based on the proposed price range and lot sizes, he
believed the proposed twenty-six (26) students would be substantially. more and
there is still undeveloped residential acreage whichcould bedeveloped on the
property and .moved the Board concur with the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and deny the application of H. W. Roberson Co,, Inc. The motion
