Donna Robuck and her husband
Robert have lived in a house that overlooks the 10th hole at the Reston
National Golf Course for the past 14 years. She can still recall: “I
walked in the house, walked straight through to the balcony, and me and
my husband thought, ‘this is it. This is the perfect house,’” she said.
“The very next day my mother-in-law called and asked what the kitchen
looked like, and I had no idea.”
Since then, she described living in their house as a dream, but in recent months that dream has been threatened.
“We
cannot stand the thought of someone taking away the golf course away
from us,” she said. “My husband and I have sunk a lot of money into our
town home and we’re waiting for the Metro to come, which will be in
walking distance, and hopefully I can retire early. If that dream gets
messed up, it destroys our life.”
THE ROBUCKS’ DREAM
is in danger due to the Reston National Golf Course owners’ appeal with
Fairfax County’s Board of Zoning Appeals to get residential development
rights for the 166-acre course. . . .
