WOODBRIDGE, Va. — It appears a deal is in the works for residents who were told to leave their homes in a flood-ravaged trailer park in Woodbridge.
Police on Friday told those living in six trailers in the Holly Acres Mobile Home Park off U.S. 1 they had to leave because the homes had been deemed uninhabitable after flood waters inundated the park in September.
Extension cords had been run from other trailer homes to the six “uninhabitable homes” where county zoning officials, and police, targeted last week. Officials cited safety issues and posted no trespassing signs on the side of the affected homes.
Those living in the homes told PotomacLocal.com that they have no place else to go.
Mark Moorstein, who represents Holly Acres Mobile Home Park owner Hank Ridge – who has petitioned Prince William County to rebuild the portion of his trailer park following the flood — said he can’t comment on the specifics of the deal. Moorstein did compliment “the good efforts” of Prince William County Attorney Angela Horan.
The Prince William County Board of Supervisors has blocked Ridge’s efforts to rebuild an area of his trailer park where flood waters took about 10 of the 40 mobile homes in the park. Officials maintain the affected area remains in a floodway of Marumsco Creek, and allowing Ridge to rebuild would jeopardize Prince William’s participation in a federal flood insurance program.
The Prince William County Board of Zoning Appeals voted to allow Ridge to rebuild his park in the flood way prior to the Board filing its lawsuit to halt construction.
