Fairfax Supervisors
Reject Falls Church
Joint zoning Proposal

The Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors yesterday disapproved
proposal of Falls Church for
joint control of zoning of land with
in two miles of that town but at
the same time paved the way for
further discussion of the problem.
In taking action, the board made
it clear that it did so to make it
legally possible to start negotia-
tions with the town on the plan.
T. j. Stockton, county planning
engineer, explained that under the
Virginia subdivision control law en-
acted in 1916 a county first must
be notified Of the intention of a
city or town seeking joint zoning
control. If the county fails to take
action within As days, he explained,
the proposed amendment automati-
cally is approved.
Cites Own Opposition.
Mr.. Stockton indicated his own
opposition to joint control, however.
He presented a map showing that
five towns in Fairfax County would
overlap in zoning jurisdiction, in
some cases, if each sought control
over surrounding areas within 2
miles of their borders. He said he
believed such control should be
limited only to cities of the first
class-none of which are in Fairfax
County-and indicated an amend
ment to the law would be sought at
the General Assembly which con-
venes Wednesday.
The board declined to join with
Falls Church in opposing proposed
contract for Arlington County to
supply water to the Kings Kitchen
housing development that lies part
ly in Arlington and partly in Fair
fax County. The board took the
position that it had nothing to do
with the water contract. Falls
Church opposes the contract because
it already has a six-inch main into
the development.
Unanimous approval was given a
lCpuC VI odllltoAy G1lSAA1CSA coAiCo
j. Corbalis, jr.. requesting the Legis-
lature to clarity existing laws gov
erning sanitary districts. In addi-
ton, Mr.. Corbalis' report called for
new legislation to enable the county
to levy tax to purchase utility
system and to permit special assess
ments on benefited properties to
finance the cost of purchase.
Carper Renamed Chairman.
Wallace Carper was reelected
chairman of the board, Maurice
Fox of Dranesville district was
named acting chairman in the ab-
sence of Mr.. Carper, who is i'll. Yes
terdays meeting was the first for
C. B. Runyon and Arthur l. Shaffer,
who we're elected in November.
The board voted to ask the State
Legislature to raise the pay of Elec-
toral Board members and of district
registrars.
The board appropriated $1,000 for
stocking the county with quail and
wild turkeys. The appropriation was
made from the dog tax fund.
