Residents seek to sink lake development

Louisa County:
“Some residents at Lake Anna are hoping the sun will set on a rezoning application for Sunset Coves, which is being marketed as an “aging in place” community that is coming before the Louisa County Board of Supervisors on Monday, May 5.

The applicant, Gary Griffith, wants the county to rezone a 77-acre property adjacent to Maple Springs from its current R-2 zoning to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) so that lot sizes can be reduced to between one-third up to three-quarters of an acre for some parcels.

According to Griffith, the developer, Paul Koenig, is proposing the smaller lot sizes so that houses can be clustered onto half the property near the lake, and maintenance such as grass mowing and snow shoveling can take place with greater ease.

Based on the county’s current zoning regulations, the developer can build by-right 77 homes on the property on one-acre parcels.  But clustering the homes, he said, also allows for 35 acres as parkland, which would include walking trails and wooded acreage.”
