Residents oppose rezone for town land at 520 E Rockingham St
Six residents spoke against rezoning from R-8 to R-6 amid a land swap plan with the Michael Brothers for 4.4 acres at 520 E Rockingham St. They argue it amounts to spot zoning and question need for more storage units while town officials consider sewer-extension costs. In other news, the council reappointed Jay Dean as vice mayor.

Shenandoah Town Council awarded the December 2014 Community Enhancement plaque to John and Brenda Borus for home additions at 408 Seventh Street. The council adopted a resolution to add High Knoll Terrace to the VDOT maintenance system and plans a July 14 vote to add Locust Dale Loop. A moratorium on water and sewer connections was lifted for Forest Knolls subdivision after paving and VDOT approval, and Matt Yoder asked to lease the moratorium for home construction. Chamber president John Robbins reported on marketing to boost tourism and urged funding from the board of supervisors, with plans for a hotel discussion and a March job fair. The town prepared for a spring cleanup April 6-17 and listed pickup details with a deadline. Public comments on the 2015 Comprehensive Plan were opened with a Feb. 18 Planning Commission review. A “Resolution of Respect” was adopted for former Councilman Gleen D. Kite who died January 5. The Shenandoah River Bay Day event is slated for April 18, and the Shenandoah Computer Center marks its 10th anniversary March 6. The Lions Club thanked the town for Christmas Cheer support. The police car sale netted $1,280.99 for equipment, and police cages were authorized for the explorer donated by the sheriff. 2015 Shenandoah Volunteer Fire Company officers were approved. A Junior Warriors softball donation request was tabled pending more data. Parks upgrades include more lights at Big Gem Park and a potential tree lighting at the shelter. Portable stairs with handrails are being quoted for Veterans Park. The Shenandoah Industrial Corporation plans a Jan. 28 meeting to discuss reorganization and broader town traction.
