of adjacent property, to the west concerning ultimate land use and prop-
osed development for a large area west of Stonehenge Golf Course, south
of Route 60 and'north of Walton Park.
It is the considered opinion of Planning Staff that this area could
be reasonably developed for appropriate mixed residentail uses under
a controlled planning process. The subject application and prelimi-
nary plan of development presented is in keeping with this controlled.
planning philosophy. Both the rezonings requested and the layout
indicate density and structural arrangement which will have no detri-
mental impact on adjacent Drope~tie~
On March 27, 1972 the Planning Commission recommended approval of a
request to rezone the parcel in question from Agricdltural (A) to
the Townhouse for Sale classification. The application was withdrawn
before the Board of Supervisors heard the case.
APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST IS RECOMMENDED.
CASE HISTORY AND PAST
COMMISSION AND BOARD ACTION
FOR THIS REQUEST
C.P.C. 5 21 74: Hearing of request deferred to the June 18, 1974
meeting to allow concerned area residents an opportunity to
review the request and meet with the applicant.
APPLICANT: 6 4 74: The following letter (accompanying a revised
preliminary Plan) was submitted to Planning Staff:
"Dear Mr. Balderson:
In answer to objections raised during several presentations to
local civic associations, we have made revisions to the Walton
Woods development plan. We want the Planning Commission to be
aware of the changes.
We have relocated the recreational facilities toward the center
of the property. This will serve to keep activity away from
the Stonehenge Golf Course area.
A second change that was made, all development along the golf
course has been set back a minimum of 60 feet from the property
line. This setback would be much greater in most areas due to
the tree line buffer between properties.
Enclosed you will find two copies of the revised plan. Should
you have any questions, please feel free to contact this office.
Very truly yours,
HARDWICKE ASSOCIATES, INC.
(Signed) L. S. Shifflett"

RE: Rezoning Case 74S049
Gentlemen:
We hereby withdraw rezoning case number 74S049.
This case was deferred for 60 days at the request
of Stonehenge Golf and Country Club, in order that
they might have an opportunity to meet with other
adjoining property owners.
,In that the adjoining property owner has requested
several meetings with this Board and not been
granted time and in that the County does not
appear desireous of this type of housing, we
will await further developments of the adjoining
properties.
Sincerely yours,
BON~A-~CO'"{ 3RPORATION
