Fields at West Creek Update as of October 3, 2007

 

Last night the Goochland Board of Supervisors voted unanimously in favor of the zoning ordinance allowing soccer fields at the West Creek Office Park! The ordinance will allow fields under a CUP (Certificate of Use Permit) which can be renewed after five years.

 

This is great news and puts us only one vote away from realizing our goal! On November 7th the Board will vote on the specific nine conditions laid out in the Strikers CUP.  As you may remember the Goochland Planning Commission, (a separate body of the government), has already passed both the ordinance and the CUP conditions.  While this has been a lengthy process and required the support of the whole club, it looks like we are rounding the final corner!

 

Thanks to the Striker board members and parents who attended last night’s meeting!

 

More to come in November.
