The State Roads Commission

were to be knocked down SO

Most Of the 10 families sold
out and moved. Some sold to the
State Roads Commission which
now rents the homes. others to
transient families who in turn
eventually will sell to the COM
mission.
Some stayed. waiting and
hoping that they might not have

Fairfax EsuglRigylgN
May Fire Planners
Won't Master
Scheme, Think
Time Is Out

The new Fairfax Board Of
County Supervisors is thinking
about firing the county planning
commission unless it comes up
with a satisfactory master plan
in hurry.
A joint conference has been
called by the, supervisors for
January % "toldiscuss the status
of the master plan and other
matters"
All Is members of the planning
commission were appointed by
the former Board of County
Supervisors. Only two of the
former board members remain
on the new board. and ma
jority of the new supervisors
mission has had ample time to
platform.
Several supervisors and Keith
Price, who is chairman of the
planning commission. confirmed
reports Of the dismissal move
lment.
Time Thought Ample
Master plan minded super
Ivisors think the planning COM
mission has had ample time to
adopt a plan. Francis Dodd
McHugh. planning consultant.
presented his master plan rec
ommendation to the planning
commission in the fall of 1854.
One phase of the master plan
covering sewers has been APP
proved by the planning COM
mission. Mr.. Keith said he
would tell the supervisors at the
conference when they could ex-
Ipect other stages of the plan.
The most controversial portion
deals with population density.
The McHugh plan would con-
fine most close, urban-type de-
Ivelopment to the eastern third
of the county and restrict de-
Ivelopment in the remainder to
lots of to 5 acres.
Even a stepped-up time table
may not diminish the hopes of
some new supervisors for another
planning commission. They have
discovered that it is the planning
commissioned the supervisors
that adopts a master plan.
The supervisors have authority
Ito approve. or disapprove, but
cannot draft a master plan in
dependently, according to county
legal advisers.
| Legal Snag Appears
| In their discussions about re-
placing the planning commission,
the new supervisors have struck
a snag: The general planning
law under which the planning
commission was set up specifies
that appointments are for four
years. and makes no provision
for abolishing the commission.
If the supervisors tried to rescind
the resolution establishing the
planning commission, they might
affect the validity of existing
coming regulations, they learned.
There might he another way,
however. Several supervisors
have located an Enabling Act
permitting counties that meet
certain requirements to set up a
planning commission. Some SUI
peryisors think it might be pos
slble to re-establish the planning
commission under this act-and
appoint new members-without
running the risk of invalidating
coming regulations. Terms of
the new planning commission
could be set up to coincide with
those of the supervisors.
