There have been a number of larger properties for sale around my house and it is my fear that whenever one sells they will put up town homes. <br /><br />I did think the zoning would have stopped the density of these houses or town homes but I am not sure how hard it is to change the zoning. <br /><br /><br />It is a shame though. I thought it was a unique area and one of the homes very close to this property is my dream home. <br /><br />Or was. :( 7 Corners 7noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-62576131646180871922016-08-26T17:24:48.967-04:002016-08-26T17:24:48.967-04:00Shhh!

What's missing is the specific language of the covenant on which the residents based their case as well as the Circuit Court's reason for refusing to apply that covenant to bar the proposed construction. Without that information, you're wasting your time in useless speculation. Moreover, pointing fingers at Penny and county bureaucrats is pointless. That's because the resolution of property disputes like this one are the ultimate responsibility of the courts and they've made their final determination in this matter. Although no one wants to see their pristine vistas torn up by developers, the County cannot arbitrarily interfere with the development of private property.

So, face it, the days when the area was a picturesque almost idyllic rural refuge are long over. At the current rate of transformation, most of Mason will soon be urbanized to the same extent as Arlington. The only difference is that many homes in Mason still occupy larger lots. However, as infill progresses, I expect developers to also begin consolidating as many of those as possible to build townhouses.<br /><br />On a related note, does anyone know where there's a copy of the Fairfax Circuit Court's opinion in the Malbrook case? I'd like to review the judge's specific findings of fact as they relate to the legal status of Brooks Place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-82296853856939309002016-08-25T14:10:17.845-04:002016-08-25T14:10:17.845-04:00Deed covenants are worthless in regards to enforci...Deed covenants are worthless in regards to enforcing the rights contained within them.
