In a recent government meeting, community members voiced strong opinions regarding a proposed RV park on Manassas Road, raising concerns about zoning and potential commercial development in a primarily residential area.

One resident suggested that the property owner could convert his existing home into an RV park, emphasizing that the property is already commercial and could accommodate numerous RVs. This proposal was met with skepticism from others, including Peggy Norton, who argued that approving the RV park would set a dangerous precedent for future commercial developments in the area. Norton highlighted that the zoning board had previously voted against the proposal, with only two members supporting it, and insisted that if the property is to be classified as commercial, it should adhere strictly to commercial regulations.

Concerns were also raised about the adequacy of the septic system for the proposed RV park, with discussions indicating that the current setup may not meet the required standards for wastewater management. The property owners expressed their willingness to comply with necessary upgrades and modifications to meet code requirements, including potential enhancements to the driveway and civil engineering aspects of the project.

As the meeting concluded, the community remained divided on the issue, with many residents advocating for the preservation of the residential character of the neighborhood while others supported the potential economic benefits of commercial development. The outcome of this proposal will likely have lasting implications for zoning regulations and community standards in the area.
