Former Pine Shore Golf Property Eyes Rezoning To Allow For 80 Homes

BERLIN – Plans to rezone the former Pine Shore Golf facility on Beauchamp Road will move forward after the proposal earned the support of the Worcester County Planning Commission last week.

The planning commission voted to pass a request to rezone the property residential on to the Worcester County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation. Stephen Nichols told the commission his family purchased the foreclosed property in 2014.

“Our intention was to take a depressed property and develop it in a reasonable manner,” Nichols read from a statement submitted by Charles Nichols.

Mark Cropper, the family’s attorney, said the property should be rezoned from its current E-1 estate zoning to R-1 residential because the existing classification was a mistake and because the neighborhood had changed since the zoning was assigned.

There's nothing depressed about that property at all. Depressed properties are all the track housing Worcester county allows. The planners need to take a trip and some lessons from Fauquier Co VA on how to do things right instead of the shoddy way they are doing things. WorCo looks like it is dotted with Projects and public housing instead of a charming agriculture/tourist area.

So let's develop and build more homes and let them sit vacant like the rest of the houses being built right now. Makes sense...
