Foirfox Planners Aqree
On 1-Acre Rural Lot Size

All acre lots were taken out OF
the urban area where sewers are
available. Mr.. McHugh had rec
commended some acre lots in the
urban area.
2. The commission voted tc
permit half-acre lots anywhere in
the county where there is a sewer
system approved by the State
Water Control Board and the ap-
propriate county agency. This
does not include septic tanks
This would give the supervisors
strong control over allowing new
subdivisions in the rural area
since the water board has adopted
q new policy of not approving
new sewer systems until locali-
ties approve plans for the SUBJ
divisions they are to serve.
3. Some half-acre lots served
by septic tanks may be per-
mitted in this way: An OWNER
can sell two half-acre parcels for
development with septic tanks
but anything divided into three
parcels of less than five acres
would constitute a subdivision
and could not use septic tanks.
4. All land within the rural
two-thirds that can't meet the
two previously mentioned quail
dcations will be restricted to one
acfe development.

The Fairfax County Planning
| Commission finally agreed on
Il-acre lot sizes for the rural two
thirds of the county last night
as it continued to shape up a
master plan that has been under
study for 10 months.
Minimum lots of 3 and S acres
had been recommended for the
rural area by Francis Dodd Nc
Hugh, planning consultant re-
tanned by the commission four
years ago to draft a master plan.
A majority of the commission
concluded that 1-acre lot re-
Istrictions-with certain excep-
Itions permitting ka-acre lots
would suffice to keep dense de-
Ivelopment out of the rural two
thirds of the county.
Represents Compromise
The l-acre recommendation
represents a compromise between
those who wanted to stick TO
Mr.. Hugh's s. and 5-acre lots
and those who argued that there
should be no larger lot require
ment than a half-acre.
Three votes were cast against
the l-acre compromise. Voting
against it were Mrs. Anne Will
kins, representative of the Board
of Supervisors on the commits
sion: Curtis johnson and Mrs.
Ruth Ellen Mccormick. All three
favor larger lot sizes. Fourteen
Of the commissions Is members
were present at the meeting.
The lot sizes represent this
second major part of the master
plan agreed on by the planning
commission. Earlier it approved
a sewer plan along the lines
recommended by Mr.. McHugh.
Recommendations on a highway
play, business zones. school To-
cations and other details remain
to be worked out before the
planning commission will be
ready to present a master plan
to the Board of County Super
visors. 1t has been estimated
this will take until July.
The Board of County Super
visors, impatient over the lack
of action by the planning COM
mission. meanwhile is going
ahead with a maneuver to place
Mr.. McHugh's lot-size recon-
Imendations in effect. Next
Wednesday the supervisors plan
to set a date for a public hear
ing on coming amendment that
would embrace the McHugh rec
ommendation.
Action at Meeting
The planning commissions
action last night was taken in
Executive session. but members
said this is what took place:
/. Lot sizes throughout the
urban area--called the close
area by Mr.. Nc
Hugh-were approved along the
lines recommended by Mr.. Nc
Hugh, except that some half
acre lots were reduced in size.
