Planners recommend denial of SPCA
Planning Commission recommends denial of conditional-use permit for SPCA
Date published: 6/18/2009
BY JONAS BEALS After months of discussion, debate and sometimes-heated presentations from the public, the Stafford County Planning Commission finally voted last night to recommend denial of a controversial conditional use permit for an SPCA. The permit would allow a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals on 10.2 agriculturally zoned acres off Andrew Chapel Road owned by local businessman Bill Hoyt. The Board of Supervisors will have final the final say on the request. For more on this story, see tomorrow's Free Lance-Star.

Once there, click on Bill Hoyt's letter dated April 7 2009, then
also read Michelle (K. Clay's) response (rebuttal) to Mr. Hoyt's
letter.
One last idea

Hey Bill , you could re-zone the land and raise the neighbor's taxes to the point where he'd have to sell out.
I'd sue the county if they won't enforce the easement.
another bright idea

Hey Bill, Now that I have thought about it, a pig farm might just work. Or maybe a beef cattle stock yard operation. I believe or stick in the mud next door may prefer beef dung odor to Pigs. I believe shep to be the most pungent though. Maybe throw in a rooster or two to wake the neighbors. It is after all zoned AG land. The way I see it, teh neighbor has to live up to prior agreements (easements) or risk a lawsuit. Sue the fool!
Much needed support

Hat's off to Bill Hoyt. I guess the old addage no good deed goes unpunished runs true. I just hope the Dems on the County board can think about the benefits this could bring. The issue I believe is with runoff, and pre-existing covenants. Although I doubt it is true, I hope bill turns it into a real manure pile just to thank his neighbor who originally approved the deal with previous owners. Bill was sold a bill of goods when acquiring the land. If there is no legal basis for denial, it should pass.
