41chevy 9,175 Posted March 15 (edited) Just got home from my Unincorporated Villages Zoning Board. My appeal to their non zoning list of demands/ requirements was denied. Got the approval from the Federal EPA and ACE, got approval from the Common Wealth of Virginia, got the approval from Fluvanna County but the village want 60% solar and they want the residents to be anybody in instead of Disabled Vets. There is no out side money, there is no banks, there is only my outlay. All 34 houses were to be built and paid for by me and my wifes life insurance monies. Only requirements were 10 years residency in the house, utilities, up keep and taxes. So now I may just sell the entire 1140 acres to a developer or since it is zoned as residential / heavy commercial I my just turn it into an 1100 acre 24/7 sand and gravel pit mine.

Equipment, house kits and tradesman are set to go, everything is mapped out both plat wise and legally. 23 disabled Vets and their families are tentatively chosen to be given the first homes. I will not take stupid "green" requirements by some power mad town employee. Monday I will be at the local news channel and start my push back and get my vets homes or I will bankrupt the town.

Mack Technician 725 Posted March 16 WOW! That’s the stuff legacies are made of Paul !!! My only thought is put up a sign on the construction site which reads........ “Future 1,140 acre mass grave for soul-sucking green bureaucrats” and see if they go away? These mini-potentates are going to be the ruin of this country. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kscarbel2 3,660 Posted March 16 Your problems with Virginia Paul pale in comparison to the money state taxpayers will be giving Amazon to locate there. Virginia has crashed since Her Majesty lost control of this colony. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A five-member panel of the Arlington County Board will vote on whether Amazon will receive the estimated $51 million, a fraction of the $481 million promised by the county. Five percent of the incentives are direct. Amazon has also been offered a $750 million package by the state that the Virginia General Assembly approved with little opposition. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-amazon-com-headquarters-vote/amazons-second-headquarters-faces-new-blocks-in-virginia-funding-vote-idUSKCN1QX08V Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mack Technician 725 Posted March 16 After reading about your town I can’t picture what the locals think they have to lose if you build? Maybe I’m misinterpreting the “big plans” they have for the area. Whole place seems basically as Podunk, USA as the economically sleepy town I grew up in.

gxbxc 126 Posted March 16 sell to developers and let the wayward town suffer and have to pay for new schools every year to make up for the thousands of new kids, .then the police dept will have to be enlarged as well as the Fire Dept .And now almost 20 years after the 9/11 attacks the fed is not quite as free with dolling out the cash.

Give ‘em hell Paul. The Veterans of our country deserves this.

JoeH 71 Posted March 17 Contact locals and see how many you can get to show up to raise hell at the next town meeting. And the meeting after that. And keep on filling the town meetings with angry citizens until you get your way! It sounds like the start of a great community, solidarity is important for people. Sounds like a neighborhood where families will be very close. Problem with Virginia is the wind blows Washington DC garbage out to ruin local's dreams. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Veterans groups and media cuts them no slack with the burden of public outcry waking the head of zoning and gaining some sensibility or my NYC property lawyers bankrupt them in court and I buy the village.
