Fauquier supervisors approve airport lease, convenience-site renewals, property sale and several zoning items
Summary
The board authorized a commercial lease at Warrenton-Fauquier Airport for Skydive Maple Grove, renewed convenience-site leases in New Baltimore/Markham/Morrisville, approved a county property sale to Fauquier Health Foundation (Path Foundation) and cleared several special-exception and waiver items including a Verizon tower waiver and a Warranty Equipment LLC special-exception amendment.
At their Nov. 13 meeting, the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors approved multiple routine and land-use items, including airport and convenience-site leases, a property sale to a health foundation and a series of zoning approvals.
Airport lease: The board authorized the county administrator to execute a commercial lease with Skydive Maple Grove LLC (doing business as DC Skydive Center) at the Warrenton-Fauquier Airport. Staff said the current lease expires March 31, 2026; the proposed modification increases office space from 826 to 915 square feet and calls for a 3% rent increase at each renewal.
Convenience-site lease renewals: Staff explained that leases for four convenience sites require renewal. New Baltimore will be a three-year flat-rate lease at $20,000 per year; Markham and two Morrisville sites are five-year renewals with approximately 3% annual increases. The board authorized the administrator to execute the renewals.
Property sale: The board authorized the sale of a county-owned 1.0047-acre parcel at 340 Hospital Drive, Warrenton, to Fauquier Health Foundation (doing business as Path Foundation) for $642,000 after the required public hearing.
Zoning and special exceptions: The board approved a waiver to expand an existing Verizon monopole compound (WAIV 25025524), including a roughly 200-square-foot expansion, replacement chain-link fencing and a future collocation at 85 feet above ground. The board also approved a Category 20 special exception for a private individual sewage treatment system at 5277 Old Alexandria Turnpike and approved an amendment for Warranty Equipment LLC (contractor office and farm-equipment sales) to adapt prior approvals to current use. An item expanding the Morrisville substation was withdrawn earlier in the meeting.
All the items above passed on motions and voice votes during the meeting; no public opposition speakers were recorded for several of the lease and sale items.
