Prince William County Board of County Supervisors (BOCS) meeting on January 10 at 7:30 p.m, regarding the Oaks III rezoning request

Wed, 4 Jan 2012 20:15:33 -0500

HistoricOccoquan.com encourages everyone to attend the Prince William County Board of County Supervisors (BOCS) meeting on January 10 at 7:30 p.m., to oppose the Oaks III rezoning request.

The meeting is being held at:
Prince William County McCoart Administration Building
Board Chambers
1 County Complex Court
Woodbridge, VA.

At this meeting, the future of the Town of Occoquan, as we know it today, is expected to be decided by the BOCS by their decision about property along the western edge of Tanyard Hill Road outside of town boundaries. The developer never consulted with the town before submitting plans to the County and the Planning Commission. After learning of the project late in the process and realizing its likely negative impact on the town, the Town Council of Occoquan adopted a resolution opposing the rezoning (see below).

The Town Council and members of the town community firmly believe that this development will exacerbate the severe storm water impact on the town as the property is part of the Ballywhack Creek watershed which flooded the town earlier in the year. It is also believed that this commercial development will significantly impact the cut-through traffic in Occoquan as the one and only exit from the commercial property will be on Tanyard Hill Road.

Happy New Year!

Wishing you good health, happiness and prosperity in 2012!
