Greene Supervisors to take action on Route 33 Holdings rezoning after August deferral

The Greene County Board of Supervisors are scheduled to take action this evening on a rezoning in Ruckersville for land around the site of a mobile home community meeting.

The five elected officials will meet at 5:30 p.m. in the administration building at 40 Celt Road. They’ll hold a closed session first followed by an opening meeting at 6:30 p.m. (meeting overview)

There will be two presentations.

One is on an update of the county’s bond ratings. This is not yet available in the meeting overview.

The second is a community resources update from the director of Greene County Social Services. This is not yet available in the meeting overview.

The consent agenda includes a letter of support from the Town of Stanardsville for renovations of the William Mills House. This is not yet available in the meeting overview.

There are no public hearings.

There are two action items. One is to take action on a rezoning deferred after a public hearing on August 12, 2025 for a rezoning for a portion of an 18.55 acre property in Ruckersville owned by Route 33 Holdings. The request is to rezone 0.29 acres of land from Residential-2 to Business-2 and 6.14 acres from Residential-2 to Business-3.

At the August 12 meeting, one member of the public appeared to express concerns about displacement of people who live in mobile homes there.

“[Ms. Patricia McCoy] highlighted the emotional and financial stress caused by the situation, pointing out that the promises of of help or alternative housing had not materialized, and that many residents now face the prospect of homelessness,” reads the minutes for the meeting.

So many stories to write and I feel like I failed by not writing this one in detail at the time. Supervisors opted to defer a decision until more information is received. Milestone Partners has provided a letter with more information about the trailer park constructed in the 1970’s by Ricky Daniels.

“At the time, there was little government oversight,” writes Frank Stoner, managing partner at Milestone Partners / Route 33 Holdings. “The park sewage was directed to septic fields but there was no requirement at the time to provide backup fields, as would be required today.”

The letter explains that septic fields showed signs of failure six years ago and the company purchased land for a second lot to accommodate residents. A plan was crafted to add this project to public water and sewer but this proved to be too costly. There’s a lot of detail in the letter and I hope to write about this after a vote is taken.

The second is to designate a representative to cast proxy votes at the upcoming Virginia Association of Counties conference.
