(WDBJ) - The proposed Fotheringay development is returning to the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors Tuesday after an error in the agenda for an October meeting.Supervisors were expected to vote on the proposal in October after hearing from more than 30 people at a meeting that lasted past midnight. But the agenda item omitted 47 acres of property included in the proposed rezoning.The upcoming agenda has been amended to include the missing acreage. The county says the rezoning still affects 263 acres, and the developer plans to build up to 349 homes.The proposal calls for the homes to be built on roughly 276 acres of the 659-acre property. Residents expressed differing views about the project at the October meeting.One supporter said the development would provide an opportunity for planned growth while protecting the area’s history.“It makes sense, it’s planned growth, and it gives the external government an opportunity to move forward. We can protect our history while building a future where our schools remain strong, our children have opportunities, and the next generation can choose to live and raise families here,” the speaker said.Another resident said the development would be out of place in the rural community and raised concerns about property values and assessments.“The 350 homes, 125 of which are highly dense townhouses, is not appropriate for a rural village. I’m concerned that introducing higher-priced homes into our area could influence surrounding property values and future assessments,” the resident said.The Fotheringay item is listed as new business for Tuesday’s meeting.</div></body>
