Charlottesville Tomorrow reports: Proposal to expand Redfields recommended for denial
Three thoughts:
1. I doubt the developer is going to just accept this recommended denial.
3. It depends on what “open space” means …
“We agree there is confusion about what open space means,†Blaine said to the commission after the public hearing. “Does there need to be a major re-education of our real estate agents? Yes, I think we have heard that tonight.â€
I wonder who he’s referring to … “our” real estate agents meaning the agents representing the developer or the buyers agents representing the buyers …
I’m making no judgements here. If a space is represented as open space, is it reasonable to expect buyers to verify that the property is deeded as open space?

Thank you for posting this 🙂
Don’t developers typically propose the biggest, most extreme version of their proposals, only to get denied, then come back with a a much more likely version, aka: what they intended in the first place?Â
Pretty much. It’s all a negotiation. What’s really interesting to me is that the definition of  “open space” is so variable. Reminds me of “it depends what the meaning of is is.”
