Another Review Board Denial

Recently in 2005 the Windover Heights Historic District's Board of Review denied another citizen's request to build. The citizen who was denied by the review board then appealed to the Vienna Town Council. At the appeal he stated:

"I guess I was really unable to find any kind of objective criteria here. I am sure the Council will agree with me that the ordinance does need to have some specificity…. Suffice it to say I thought it was pretty vague for me at least."

Don't take his words lightly. He just happens to be a zoning attorney. The Council ruled against their review board creating yet another inconsistency in the ongoing disaster that is the Windover Heights Historic District.


Mayor Jane Seeman Voted Against the Appeal

More from Seeman from 2004:

"Referring to questions of possible vagueness of the historic district ordinance, Seeman said, "If we need to appoint a committee to look at the guidelines, then that's what we should do."
