Board approves 45‑unit townhome development over neighbor objections
Summary
The board approved a conditional use permit for 45 townhomes on under 9 acres after a lengthy public hearing. Neighbors urged denial or stronger year‑round screening, citing privacy, noise, and density concerns.
The Board of Supervisors approved a conditional use permit for a 45‑unit townhome development on a parcel zoned R1, following public testimony from adjacent homeowners and a staff presentation that emphasized revisions to the proposed site plan and required buffers.
The applicant's representative, Corey Sedler of Rogers Schall Inc., described the project as "geared towards the elderly" and said lighting and landscaping specifics would be addressed during the site‑plan phase, with photometric limits and a 15‑foot maximum pole height. Neighbors voiced strong concerns: "I respectfully request that you deny the application for the conditional use permit," one nearby resident told the board, citing proximity, privacy loss, and nighttime lighting. Board members debated comp‑plan alignment (staff noted the area is shown as a commercial/growth corridor in the 2021 comprehensive plan), the sufficiency and enforceability of vegetative buffers, and HOA responsibility for long‑term maintenance. The motion to accept the CUP passed by roll call after the developer agreed to additional buffering and photometric requirements.
