It is a heck of a lot cheeper and easier to be a pro-active society than a re-active one. But thats just me... and has nothing to do with the association-- as BC pointed out I am treading on awful personal ground for an organization. I want to see the county run as a business, not as government. It is good business to plan for the future, even if it so far in the future that you are unable to contemplate the leap it would take to make it there, today. Oneday - w/proper management you'll be there. And glad you paived the way. But ~ I hear ya Toni. Toni,

You lost me there, what's the purpose of enacting something without enforcing it? The biggest concern I have is that this will open up the county to lawsuits, because its not mandated by the state and as such can be challenged legally. What Accomack County doesn't need more of, is lawsuites. It costs money to defend them and if the litigant wins, who knows where that leads. Considering we all have more on our plates this day and age, I see no reason to enact an optional ordinance that will cost the county to implement and enforce, and may result in litigation. I believe there are people already with attorney's hired ready to fight the fight. Application of this ordinance to future / unapproved subdivisions may be okay, but applying it to recorded subdivisions may become pandora's box. AND it still doesn't do anything about the greatest polluters of all. Voluntary "best management practices" don't work. Unenforced laws are useless, so why do it?
