Town of Warrenton:
“A developer is suing Warrenton because he claims that the
town's Planning Commission acted unlawfully when considering his proposal for a
subdivision off of Winchester Street. Jeffrey Rizer wants to build 72 homes in
a development called Winchester Chase, and the Warrenton Planning Commission in
August voted 5-2 in favor of the project ... eventually.
Commissioners weren't pleased with the design of the
project, though. They turned down several preliminary designs for Winchester
Chase. The land is zoned for what Rizer wants to do, but commissioners worried
where 72 families' worth of vehicles would go.
During the August vote, Commissioner John Kip said, ‘I
cannot accept an entrance on Winchester Street. I think it is a potential
hazard. It defaces the existing community on Winchester Street and there are
opportunities to interconnect the property in two other directions.’”
