1
00:15:01,010 --> 00:15:03,330
Good morning,

2
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:16,340
everyone. The time is now 10.05, and I will call the February 12th, 2021, signing board

3
00:15:16,340 --> 00:15:19,610
meeting to order.

4
00:15:21,860 --> 00:15:24,980
We have the following board members with us today, Vice Chair Gerardo.

5
00:15:25,420 --> 00:15:31,700
Good morning, everyone. Commissioner Corrier, morning. I am Chairman Barnes. We will now move forward

6
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:37,120
with the business of hand. Please note that the deadline for all participation, pre-registrations

7
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:44,460
and for all submission of material that exhibits for us 12 noon or Tuesday before the planning board meeting.

8
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:52,100
Please note that a whole walk-in speaking sign-up is no longer permitted. We will now move over to today's agenda.

9
00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:58,540
But before we move on to today's agenda, I'd like to take a moment of silence and a point of privilege

10
00:15:58,540 --> 00:16:06,280
to recognize an extraordinary woman that meant so much to the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission.

11
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:13,360
And I, with all condolences to her family, I'd like to share the passing of Mary Wells Farrell.

12
00:16:14,780 --> 00:16:20,620
Former Director of MNCPPC Department of Parks and Recreation here in Prince George's County.

13
00:16:21,140 --> 00:16:27,260
A former commissioner with MNCPPC, Montgomery County Planning Board,

14
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,780
Ms. Wells Harley served more than 40 years with the Department of Parks and Recreation.

15
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:38,060
She became a director in 1996, and throughout her distinguished career, she earned numerous

16
00:16:38,060 --> 00:16:43,100
accolades at the National State and local levels for her leadership, and professional

17
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:48,720
accomplishments including being named when a girl is top 100 women in 2024.

18
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:56,060
May we take this one minute of silence to honor her life and her legacy Mary Wells.

19
00:16:56,060 --> 00:16:56,720
All right.

20
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:30,460
The place is for today's meeting with Jenny's follows, items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and

21
00:17:30,460 --> 00:17:31,120
9.

22
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:36,320
First item on the agenda is item 2, draft minutes of February 5th, 2026.

23
00:17:37,420 --> 00:17:38,440
I look forward motion.

24
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:44,860
Mr. Chair, move that we approve the minutes from February 5th, 2026 meeting?

25
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,660
Sir, you asked the second.

26
00:17:47,060 --> 00:17:50,640
To improperly move the second, I will now call the roll by Mr. Durardo.

27
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,580
Good morning, Mr. Chair, and thank you to members of playing board. This is Deborah

28
00:18:12,580 --> 00:18:18,680
Borden. I am the general counsel for the commission. I have a few bills here that we will

29
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:25,040
ask you for a position on and a couple of bills that we are just going to submit informational

30
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:31,520
testimony on. So I'll get right to it. Jordan indicated that she was on her way to

31
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:38,060
anapolis right now so she can't join us. So I will get started,

32
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,980
titled Marilyn beverage container,

33
00:18:47,980 --> 00:18:58,820
recycling refund and litter. So this would establish recycling refund and litter reduction program

34
00:18:58,820 --> 00:19:06,840
to increase the reuse and recycling of beverage containers statewide. We think this is generally

35
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:15,740
a good idea because it would help us to reduce litter in our parks. We spend a lot of money

36
00:19:15,740 --> 00:19:24,120
picking up litter and keeping our parks free of refuse and we think this would be generally

37
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:14,780
Would help to avoid these bottles going into our waterways, because that's a big problem. They get washed into sewer drains and storm water drains and they end up in our waterways.

38
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:24,680
So, we have prepared information for this one and let's see.

39
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:35,600
Yes, so we are proposing just an informational sheet for this one, so no position required and no no motion required.

40
00:20:35,740 --> 00:20:39,600
I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about it.

41
00:20:39,660 --> 00:20:40,900
Any questions?

42
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,340
I have a question.

43
00:20:43,780 --> 00:20:44,260
Okay.

44
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,680
The next bill is the,

45
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:56,780
House Bill 654, natural resources Maryland had heritage areas of authority, funding, and grants.

46
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,900
Of course, anytime we see the word funding and grants, we get our ears per cup.

47
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:12,440
So this one would decrease the percentage of program open space funds transferred to the Maryland heritage areas authority financing fund.

48
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:20,380
So, this one we are a bit concerned about this because it would decrease the amount of money

49
00:21:20,380 --> 00:21:33,280
available for non-capital historic preservation grants and so we would like to put in some

50
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:41,380
information about the use of these funds that we have made over the years.

51
00:21:42,780 --> 00:21:49,540
So would decrease the percentage from 10% to 7% of program open space funds transferred to

52
00:21:49,540 --> 00:21:51,460
this financing fund.

53
00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:03,540
And we have, let's see, identified that the Parks Department has received funding through

54
00:22:03,540 --> 00:22:07,260
program several times in the past, both parks departments.

55
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,460
We had intended, at least on the Montgomery

56
00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:18,060
side, to apply to the non-capital grant program to conduct necessary research and archaeological

57
00:22:18,060 --> 00:22:27,440
fieldwork at the new Ednors, the soapstone quarry park. Limiting this funding really limits the

58
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:33,380
sources that exist for this type of study, you know, non-capital meaning,

59
00:22:35,660 --> 00:22:36,080
non, you know,

60
00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:44,400
building, construction, renovation funds that don't result in a capital asset. So getting

61
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:50,720
funds for like a study or design work can be very difficult. And this is the kind of funding

62
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:57,860
that they're looking to lower. So we would like to submit again another

63
00:22:57,860 --> 00:23:05,080
informational statement for that. And so no motion required for that.

64
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:06,160
Any questions?

65
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,620
I don't know.

66
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:08,380
You may proceed.

67
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,120
Okay. Next we have.

68
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:17,220
We've got this House Bill 778.

69
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,120
This is Land Use Middle Housing Options Requirements.

70
00:23:22,420 --> 00:23:30,960
This is another bill focused on housing and increasing the supply of housing as a way

71
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,920
of creating more affordable housing in the state.

72
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:43,100
So this bill would require local governments to do comprehensive plans and planning to

73
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:49,960
evaluate the suitability of certain commercial or industrial land for housing use.

74
00:23:50,780 --> 00:23:56,200
It also alters the requirements for the housing element within our comprehensive plans.

75
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:10,240
It requires us to promote and encourage building middle housing units with their talking

76
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:21,000
And it would also give us basically the affirmative duty to study these areas.

77
00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:31,000
We would have to do a survey, basically, to create an inventory of vacant land and land

78
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,960
that could be used for housing in the future.

79
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,260
And we would have to do this as part of our comprehensive planning.

80
00:24:39,260 --> 00:24:47,300
So as part of master plans, as part of general plans, we would have to include an inventory of vacant land.

81
00:24:49,930 --> 00:24:52,890
So we had some suggestions for this bill.

82
00:24:54,950 --> 00:24:59,010
We do think, you know, this is this is kind of the.

83
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:13,380
The kind of thing that we are doing somewhat anyway, we're all looking for ways to make housing more available and more affordable.

84
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:28,360
So this is not necessarily such a wrenching change. We do have some suggestions for clarifying certain areas of the bill.

85
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:36,060
And we are proposing that we support the bill with amendments.

86
00:25:37,580 --> 00:25:45,660
So I can go through those amendments, or I can ask James, if he wants to hit any of those amendments, or highlight them, if you have any questions.

87
00:25:47,590 --> 00:25:51,750
Now, any questions? I haven't done what I'm doing.

88
00:25:52,310 --> 00:25:52,590
Interesting.

89
00:25:53,870 --> 00:25:58,130
Okay, so I would need a motion to support this one with amendments.

90
00:25:58,750 --> 00:26:05,930
Mr. Chair, I moved that we support House bill 777A with amendments proposed by our General

91
00:26:05,930 --> 00:26:06,910
Council.

92
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:07,910
Mr. Chair, second.

93
00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:09,370
It's been properly moved.

94
00:26:09,570 --> 00:26:09,730
Second.

95
00:26:09,850 --> 00:26:11,750
I will now call the World Vice Chair, Gerardo.

96
00:26:11,750 --> 00:26:12,370
I vote aye.

97
00:26:12,550 --> 00:26:13,650
Commissioner Coye.

98
00:26:14,010 --> 00:26:14,810
I vote ayes.

99
00:26:15,090 --> 00:26:15,630
Well.

100
00:26:16,510 --> 00:26:17,070
Okay.

101
00:26:17,850 --> 00:26:20,370
The next bill is

102
00:26:22,830 --> 00:26:27,570
SB 158, and I will put that up.

103
00:26:27,570 --> 00:26:33,350
SB 158 is construction of sidewalks and crosswalks, safe alternative routes to public schools.

104
00:26:33,770 --> 00:26:37,350
We are proposing an informational sheet for this one.

105
00:26:38,950 --> 00:26:51,030
We do recognize that, so what this bill does, I'll start there, is that it requires the county counties, boards of education,

106
00:26:51,030 --> 00:26:57,770
and each year to prepare and post a certain manner of a report that identifies pathways that

107
00:26:57,770 --> 00:27:03,050
public school students use to travel to school, using safe alternative routes.

108
00:27:04,130 --> 00:27:13,170
So it requires our boards of education to, you know, identify safe routes, any gaps

109
00:27:13,170 --> 00:27:20,690
in sidewalks, crosswalks that need to be installed that are not currently there, it basically

110
00:27:20,690 --> 00:27:29,110
requires them to take a look at the access the pedestrian access to their schools to make a plan

111
00:27:29,110 --> 00:27:36,070
for making sure that all of those access areas and all those alternative routes are in fact

112
00:27:36,070 --> 00:27:46,510
safe. So it really places a spotlight on pedestrian access to public schools in the state. So

113
00:27:46,510 --> 00:27:52,330
think that's a great idea. We do think it's going to take a bit more time than the bills

114
00:27:52,330 --> 00:27:57,970
suggests for all of that coordination to happen. And certainly once the coordination is done

115
00:27:57,970 --> 00:28:03,570
and the plans are done and the plans are made, it's going to take even more time to actually get

116
00:28:03,570 --> 00:28:10,250
the infrastructure installed. So, you know, they may need to coordinate with SHA to put in

117
00:28:11,350 --> 00:28:17,970
sidewalks, they may need to put in crosswalks, there may need to be a lot of cross coordination

118
00:28:17,970 --> 00:28:28,430
in order to get these walkways and sideways and access points up to what we would consider

119
00:28:28,430 --> 00:28:37,370
a safe standard for kids to access the schools. So great idea and we just want to give a little

120
00:28:37,370 --> 00:28:40,310
for national sheet on this one.

121
00:28:41,010 --> 00:28:42,150
Happy answering questions.

122
00:28:43,150 --> 00:28:47,470
If we think it's a great idea, why are we supporting it?

123
00:28:48,030 --> 00:28:51,210
Well, we try to stay in our lane in the sense

124
00:28:51,210 --> 00:28:57,090
that this really is mostly on the school systems,

125
00:28:57,910 --> 00:29:03,530
to do, you know, the requirements are mostly on the school

126
00:29:03,530 --> 00:29:10,030
systems to initiate this, to report out on it, to execute it.

127
00:29:10,930 --> 00:29:16,050
So we want to be a good partner, we want to say to them, you know, we think, you know,

128
00:29:16,270 --> 00:29:21,930
that, yeah, this coordination is probably a really good idea, and, you know, we want

129
00:29:21,930 --> 00:29:22,650
to be supportive.

130
00:29:23,150 --> 00:29:27,790
And so we don't know if our counties are going to support this, we don't know if our

131
00:29:27,790 --> 00:29:31,950
county school systems are going to say this is going to be too expensive for them.

132
00:29:31,950 --> 00:29:33,390
we don't know that at this point.

133
00:29:33,730 --> 00:29:35,750
So we don't want to get in the middle of that.

134
00:29:37,070 --> 00:29:38,430
All right, thank you.

135
00:29:38,530 --> 00:29:39,870
We're going to need other questions.

136
00:29:40,290 --> 00:29:41,550
What does it say or not?

137
00:29:43,050 --> 00:29:43,450
Oh, thank you.

138
00:29:44,610 --> 00:29:45,650
And thank you.

139
00:29:45,670 --> 00:29:50,850
And the final one that we have is Bambi.

140
00:29:51,250 --> 00:29:52,950
SB 267.

141
00:29:53,290 --> 00:29:56,410
So let me put this on the screen.

142
00:29:58,170 --> 00:29:59,130
SB 267.

143
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:14,460
I miss Jordan. Okay. So, this is Mako's housing bill, known as Bambi, the Bambi Act, building affordability

144
00:30:14,460 --> 00:30:22,500
in my backyard is the acronym that they came up with. And this bill covers a lot of the same areas

145
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:32,140
that the governor's housing bill, the silvers and silver and starter homes Act, covers. So we

146
00:30:32,140 --> 00:30:38,040
We have put together, again, a support with amendment bill, because we support the concept.

147
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:46,460
We support the efforts to get affordable housing more housing supply, as well as affordable housing in the state.

148
00:30:46,620 --> 00:30:49,200
We realize this is a huge, important push.

149
00:30:50,600 --> 00:31:01,980
And we want to be a partner in trying to make sure that the bill that is passed is going to incorporate sort of

150
00:31:01,980 --> 00:31:07,860
best practices and so we think that there are some best practices in this bill and we want

151
00:31:07,860 --> 00:31:19,080
to highlight those. We've also put together a few comments to clarify certain items in the bill

152
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:30,460
and but what we expect from the bill is that the or from the legislature is that they will

153
00:31:30,460 --> 00:31:33,260
compile everything into one bill.

154
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:38,440
We do not expect all of these bills to actually pass.

155
00:31:38,620 --> 00:31:41,960
What we will see over the next several weeks

156
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,360
is that the bills will become consolidated.

157
00:31:45,700 --> 00:31:48,040
And it's very likely that they will become consolidated

158
00:31:48,660 --> 00:31:50,600
in the governor's bills.

159
00:31:52,180 --> 00:31:55,420
So we hope we'll be a part of that process

160
00:31:55,420 --> 00:31:59,420
of sort of whistling down and amalgamating these bills

161
00:31:59,420 --> 00:32:08,220
And we do hope to see some of the items in Bambi actually incorporated into the governance

162
00:32:08,220 --> 00:32:08,520
bill.

163
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,640
That's what we would expect to see.

164
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,460
Because we don't think all of these bills covering exactly the same area are not going

165
00:32:15,460 --> 00:32:16,200
to be necessary.

166
00:32:16,300 --> 00:32:22,160
They're going to pick one and then they're going to revise it so that it reflects what will

167
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:22,700
pass.

168
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:40,500
So that, knowing that we've put together some really basic comments about Bambi and I can go through them, I can defer to James, who knows much more about this than I do, and I'll stop there and see if you have any questions.

169
00:32:41,620 --> 00:32:44,700
James is good. Any questions?

170
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,580
I don't know. I would love on the.

171
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:51,740
There.

172
00:32:52,740 --> 00:32:54,360
I'm all shooting for our amendments.

173
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:55,060
Yes.

174
00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:01,880
Mr. Chair, I move that we support SV261 with amendments as proposed by Council.

175
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:03,460
I'll second on that.

176
00:33:04,020 --> 00:33:06,460
It's actually a Senate bill 267.

177
00:33:06,460 --> 00:33:07,340
It's 67.

178
00:33:08,660 --> 00:33:09,180
67.

179
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,600
I'm going to move this second.

180
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,520
I will now call the World Vice-Chair Gerardo.

181
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:14,560
What I.

182
00:33:14,620 --> 00:33:15,260
I'm answering the question.

183
00:33:15,620 --> 00:33:16,480
What I can have.

184
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:17,940
What I as well.

185
00:33:18,740 --> 00:33:19,680
Thank you.

186
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,600
And that concludes my legislative update.

187
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:23,460
And we.

188
00:33:24,620 --> 00:33:29,960
There are motion to approve the legislative update on Senate Bill 267.

189
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,460
Senate Bill 156158.

190
00:33:32,460 --> 00:33:38,820
I'll spell 778 Senate Bill 342 and I'll spell 654.

191
00:33:38,940 --> 00:33:39,840
I think we're ready.

192
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,000
I probably need to do them all.

193
00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:45,560
Because some of them were just for information information.

194
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,060
I don't, um, they're on council because you need a second motion.

195
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,480
I don't.

196
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:55,040
I don't.

197
00:33:55,060 --> 00:33:55,360
All right.

198
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,060
Thank you so much.

199
00:33:57,460 --> 00:33:58,460
Thank you.

200
00:33:58,460 --> 00:34:01,180
We'll now move on to the consent agenda.

201
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,360
Is there a motion?

202
00:34:04,380 --> 00:34:11,260
Mr. Chair, if the consideration of the record for item 4A, I move the adoption of staff's

203
00:34:11,260 --> 00:34:16,380
findings and approval of the items on the consent agenda, the accordance with the recommendations

204
00:34:16,380 --> 00:34:17,740
of staff.

205
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:19,080
I'll second my motion.

206
00:34:19,420 --> 00:34:22,900
That probably moved to something I will now call the roll, Vice Chair Daroddo.

207
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:23,400
Oh, aye.

208
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:24,040
Mr. Daroddo.

209
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:30,840
And I apologize, well, now we want you to read the agenda items, the first item on the

210
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:37,160
agenda item five details, I plan to be in T dash two zero two four days one zero.

211
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:43,900
I'm sorry, zero one zero, I'm pretty bad, I'm pretty glad we will now hear from Mr.

212
00:34:44,420 --> 00:34:44,480
Smith.

213
00:34:52,340 --> 00:34:57,620
Being Mr. Chairman and members of the Planning Board for the record and on son with

214
00:34:57,620 --> 00:34:58,800
over in these on-section.

215
00:34:59,680 --> 00:34:59,940
I've been...

216
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:11,860
Number 5, it details a plan DT-2024-010 for enclaves at brandy 1 phase 2. The details in plan is for development of 36

217
00:35:11,860 --> 00:35:18,240
time-house-dwelling units and associated infrastructure. The property is located within the residential

218
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:24,760
single-family attached the zone. The property is located on a west side of General Lafayette Boulevard,

219
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:31,020
approximately 850 feet southwest of its intersection with CHAP4DRIVE.

220
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:38,560
As a matter of how keeping prior to February 10th, known deadline, the applicants submitted one

221
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:45,440
exit. As with exit 1, outlines a revised step report findings and revised conditions proposed

222
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:51,700
by the applicant. The first request seeks flexibility in how the applicant may demonstrate

223
00:35:51,700 --> 00:35:57,360
conformance with the gateway signage requirements. The secondary requests were

224
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,300
pond revisions to the findings and condition related to the calculation of

225
00:36:01,300 --> 00:36:06,500
the transparency percentage of the building for that. Staff and agreement with

226
00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:11,120
applicants proposed revisions for both defining and conditions. Based on

227
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,800
evaluation and analysis, nobody then staff recommend that the planning board

228
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,600
adopt the findings of this report with revisions proposed by the applicant and

229
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:29,140
with the Palm Best Staff, the Applicants Act B1 and the Proceeded Health Set Plan DT-2024-010

230
00:36:29,140 --> 00:36:39,520
and Type 2 3-Connovation Plan TCP2-2025-0189 for unplayed ads on the one-based 2.

231
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,340
Subject to the recommended conditions of approval will be in the technical staff report.

232
00:36:44,340 --> 00:36:49,220
And the revisions proposed by the applicant and a greater palm by staff in the

233
00:36:49,220 --> 00:36:52,520
accident, applicants expected one.

234
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,100
This concludes staff from the presentation.

235
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:56,300
Thank you.

236
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,300
Any questions from the prime board?

237
00:36:59,580 --> 00:36:59,900
Have a look.

238
00:37:00,300 --> 00:37:05,140
See, and we will now hear from the office against the firm, just a whole thing.

239
00:37:07,730 --> 00:37:08,230
Thank you.

240
00:37:08,390 --> 00:37:10,450
Good morning, Mr. Chairman and members of the.

241
00:37:10,450 --> 00:37:17,990
It's starting to get too thorn in and we have that maybe a 10 day on given testimony in the

242
00:37:17,990 --> 00:37:18,390
size.

243
00:37:18,810 --> 00:37:19,470
Thank you.

244
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:22,000
Yes.

245
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,420
The testimony about receive is to turn.

246
00:37:29,550 --> 00:37:30,670
Again, good morning, Mr. Chairman.

247
00:37:30,670 --> 00:37:31,390
Members of the Board.

248
00:37:31,550 --> 00:37:35,750
Thomas Aller and attorney with offices here in Largo and I'm representing the applicant in this

249
00:37:35,750 --> 00:37:36,270
case.

250
00:37:36,310 --> 00:37:37,230
Sage Ventures Inc.

251
00:37:37,510 --> 00:37:39,230
Sage is also the owner of the property.

252
00:37:40,110 --> 00:37:43,330
We have representatives of our engineering firm, Sultez,

253
00:37:43,710 --> 00:37:47,390
it's here to state a beckle, and then we also have a representative of

254
00:37:47,390 --> 00:37:48,690
sage online as well.

255
00:37:48,850 --> 00:37:49,550
There are any questions.

256
00:37:50,890 --> 00:37:54,830
The application before you has a long history, we've been in front of the board with two

257
00:37:54,830 --> 00:37:59,090
part of preliminary plans, a subdivision, two part of detailed site plans, and I realize

258
00:37:59,090 --> 00:38:02,750
looking back at my notes that only Commissioner Geraldo was here for those

259
00:38:02,750 --> 00:38:04,170
prior applications.

260
00:38:04,170 --> 00:38:09,890
But if I could ask staff to pull slide seven up on the PowerPoint presentation,

261
00:38:13,740 --> 00:38:14,120
I just wanted

262
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:24,260
to note that this case has taken time to bring to you because it is a fairly rare example

263
00:38:24,260 --> 00:38:28,720
of a project that started under the old ordinance and is now transitioning to the new ordinance.

264
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:34,620
And I want to thank staff, everybody in Urban Design, for working with us.

265
00:38:34,620 --> 00:38:42,760
People with far more attention to detail than I have helped to figure out how to marry the old ordinance with the new ordinance

266
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,220
And that's what this is an example of and if you look at the slide that

267
00:38:47,220 --> 00:38:48,460
Staff is pulled up

268
00:38:48,460 --> 00:38:55,160
You can see in the in the white shaded area the area of the project that was approved under to phase one

269
00:38:55,700 --> 00:39:01,160
preliminary plan of subdivision phase one detailed site plan and then the area where the

270
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:12,520
The amber area where the townhouses are located are the additional 36 units, which are being added as part of the new zoning order and as part of phase two.

271
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,240
And once this site plan is approved,

272
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:21,460
the project will be able to be completed and will look like a full development.

273
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,640
I think when I was here last, which was the last April,

274
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,120
I said that they were getting ready to start development of phase one.

275
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:36,440
They are now 100 development of phase one and are grading the property and so the timing ended up

276
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:42,420
working such that they'll be able to move seamlessly from phase one into phase two, which will allow for no disruption

277
00:39:42,420 --> 00:39:43,980
into development of the project.

278
00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:47,060
So again, I wanted to thank staff for their assistance.

279
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:55,620
As F mentioned, we did propose two minor revisions in the exhibit that we submitted and

280
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,900
and staff are in alignment on that amendment as I would request approval.

281
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,320
All the detailed site plan by the planning board with those revised conditions.

282
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,840
But I can't show any questions if it's fast.

283
00:40:09,140 --> 00:40:10,460
Let's get to it.

284
00:40:10,780 --> 00:40:13,740
Are there any questions for Mr. Howell?

285
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,880
I don't believe any of why it's signed up in our position.

286
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:19,960
Is there a motion?

287
00:40:20,220 --> 00:40:20,940
Yes, Mr. Chair.

288
00:40:21,220 --> 00:40:26,880
I'm moved that we adopt the findings and recommendations of staff as detailed in the staff report.

289
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:37,900
and as further modified by applicants exhibit number one and approve DET2024-010 detailed site plan

290
00:40:37,900 --> 00:40:48,680
I'll include at Brandywine Phase 2 as well as the Type 2 3 Conservation Plan TCP2-2025-0089.

291
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:54,360
It's been approximately moved a second. I will now hold a roll of ice chair to roll though. I vote aye.

292
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,020
Mission of 4. Yeah. I vote aye as well.

293
00:40:58,020 --> 00:41:05,180
The next item when a gen is item 6, detail site playing DSP, dash 1025, dash 01017,

294
00:41:05,740 --> 00:41:07,900
I'd land it. It's spur.

295
00:41:14,690 --> 00:41:19,930
When he meets the chair and the member are planning for. For the regular, my name's Emery Fong.

296
00:41:19,930 --> 00:41:20,990
to the United States.

297
00:41:21,390 --> 00:41:22,930
I didn't know.

298
00:41:23,950 --> 00:41:26,250
The best possible in our manner.

299
00:41:26,610 --> 00:41:28,210
We just want to.

300
00:41:28,570 --> 00:41:28,770
That's a shame.

301
00:41:29,250 --> 00:41:30,650
Good for the way, man.

302
00:41:30,910 --> 00:41:36,250
With all those who attend on given testimony on this item, please reach right and.

303
00:41:37,370 --> 00:41:37,690
Please.

304
00:41:38,030 --> 00:41:40,250
We're informed that the testimony about it.

305
00:41:40,630 --> 00:41:41,870
Give is the truth.

306
00:41:42,090 --> 00:41:43,590
I do me.

307
00:41:43,670 --> 00:41:44,410
Mr. Chairman.

308
00:41:44,790 --> 00:41:45,930
Father, I'm also your procedure.

309
00:41:45,930 --> 00:41:50,430
any preliminary motions that are requested need to be made prior to staff's presentation.

310
00:41:50,810 --> 00:41:56,450
So I appreciate your indulgence to address you before Mr. Young provides his presentation.

311
00:41:57,490 --> 00:42:02,790
In your additional backup, which we received yesterday when it was posted online, there appears

312
00:42:02,790 --> 00:42:08,590
to be a correspondence or some type of work documentation. We have somebody with respect to

313
00:42:08,590 --> 00:42:13,750
this item. I would respectfully request that the Board consider striking that from the record

314
00:42:13,750 --> 00:42:20,070
in this case for a number of reasons. One, it's not signed. It's not even type-signed.

315
00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:25,190
So we have no ability to authenticate or even indicate who presented this. I'm sure there's

316
00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:28,970
a way of documenting that through the email that it came through, but that's not provided

317
00:42:28,970 --> 00:42:32,730
on the actual document that's submitted. Under your rules of procedure, all documentation

318
00:42:32,730 --> 00:42:37,490
that's submitted to you and writing must be sworn, and it's implied that it's sworn

319
00:42:37,490 --> 00:42:42,830
once it's filed, however, without any type of signature of the sort, there's no way

320
00:42:42,830 --> 00:42:50,070
authenticate that. Second, it is completely unreliable. If you look at what's been presented in that document,

321
00:42:50,710 --> 00:42:58,210
it references to a ZMA-2022-005, which is not the subject of this application.

322
00:42:59,330 --> 00:43:03,490
That case number is referenced to the zoning map amendment. For this property,

323
00:43:03,890 --> 00:43:09,770
however, that was approved more than two years ago, that record is closed and that approval is

324
00:43:09,770 --> 00:43:17,390
final and unappealable. Third, if you look at the context of the written document itself,

325
00:43:18,010 --> 00:43:23,930
it references approximately 300 residential units and approximately 121 acres. This property

326
00:43:23,930 --> 00:43:30,570
was approved for 1200 units and it was over 468 acres. So it's not even relevant to the actual

327
00:43:30,570 --> 00:43:36,050
property that's the subject of this hearing. For all those reasons and this unreliability,

328
00:43:36,050 --> 00:43:41,930
It's not probability value and the potential prejudice that I would call my client to have this in the record

329
00:43:41,930 --> 00:43:43,830
We would ask that it be struck. Thank you

330
00:43:45,030 --> 00:43:52,040
Did that's what I am glad to see that you have done your homework and your research. Yes, sir, and I will agree with you

331
00:43:53,110 --> 00:43:56,080
And have you got stricken out from this please

332
00:43:57,390 --> 00:43:58,730
Mr. Hung

333
00:44:01,510 --> 00:44:06,250
The Morning Missaging and the Memlem Planning Board for the Raker, my name is Emery Fong,

334
00:44:06,390 --> 00:44:18,670
with Southern Design sections. I have number 6 is the SLS-P-S-P-S-P-S-P-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S for infrastructure,

335
00:44:19,250 --> 00:44:25,770
impumant, including property stream, water, sewer, stone, drain, and the stone water management facilities.

336
00:44:25,770 --> 00:44:34,710
The subject property is located on the northwest side of the Piscartaway road and it's

337
00:44:34,710 --> 00:44:41,350
intersection with the steel road and it's within the residential plant development zone.

338
00:44:41,390 --> 00:44:42,670
As a matter of housekeeping,

339
00:44:44,730 --> 00:44:48,710
as the attorney for this application prior to the Tuesday

340
00:44:48,710 --> 00:44:54,590
And on day by step, we see one exhibit from Mr. Jerome Tidwell, President of the Branch

341
00:44:54,590 --> 00:44:59,810
here, Hong Honourance Association, which is title-opposition-issip to one.

342
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:24,100
However, this document was originally next to the prepare for the zoning map amendment. The M8-2022-005 to address concerns related to transportation and the railway impacts, safety and emergency response, schools and public facilities and storm water, water shed and environmental strain.

343
00:45:24,100 --> 00:45:34,420
This zoning amendment was approved by the District Council on November 8th, 1824 concerns

344
00:45:34,420 --> 00:45:40,280
allies in this document relate to adequacy and war subsequent to the e-variate through

345
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:49,400
Sotypocator of adequacy ADQ-203-032, approved by the planning director and the premium

346
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:58,580
planning of the subdivision, PPS-2023-016, approved by the planning board in October 2025.

347
00:45:59,700 --> 00:46:04,620
Subject detailed pipelines, including the engineering details for construction,

348
00:46:04,620 --> 00:46:11,380
the street, sewer, stone drain, and the stone water management facilities need to support

349
00:46:11,380 --> 00:46:17,720
future residential and non-residential development and address the several of the previous

350
00:46:17,720 --> 00:46:24,620
race infrastructure related concerns. Based on the finding present in the technical step report

351
00:46:24,620 --> 00:46:30,660
of the design staff recommended the planning board adopt the findings of this report and the

352
00:46:30,660 --> 00:46:44,400
detailed site plan DSP-2025-0017 and type 2-3 conservation plan TCP2-2025-005-3 for high-landing

353
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,920
subject to the recommended condition of the approval within the technical step

354
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,560
before and this concludes that. Thank you.

355
00:46:52,620 --> 00:46:56,740
Good job. Are there any questions from the planning board?

356
00:46:56,740 --> 00:46:57,440
I have nothing.

357
00:46:57,940 --> 00:46:58,500
Seeing none.

358
00:46:58,820 --> 00:46:59,300
Mr. De Desk.

359
00:46:59,820 --> 00:47:00,100
Thank you.

360
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:01,480
Mr. Chairman.

361
00:47:02,060 --> 00:47:02,500
Thank you.

362
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,000
Mr. Wong for your presentation.

363
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,300
Mr. Chairman, with me this morning from Hyde Field Act position, which is the subsidiary

364
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:11,580
of NBR Inc. is Mr. Pat Donahue.

365
00:47:11,980 --> 00:47:15,540
And I would just ask that if you could just acknowledge yourself for the board's recognition.

366
00:47:16,340 --> 00:47:21,580
From Rogers and Sulton, who have Mr. Case Anderson, Charlie Hal, Christine Gillette, and Rob Swayham,

367
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,900
from that heart trafficking consulting, although they're not here in person, but online, Mr.

368
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:30,040
like Len Hart, and from G.S. Brockton Associates, Mr. Minuro Harrison, is with us as well.

369
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,900
And for my office online is the Ms. Danielle Lockhart, who is our senior

370
00:47:33,900 --> 00:47:39,460
of Lane Planner. I want to thank staff for its review and presentation. It's recommendation

371
00:47:39,460 --> 00:47:43,600
in this case. I'm going to start off by saying that we have no request and modifications

372
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:48,600
in any findings or conditions. We are in alignment and an agreement with staff's recommendations.

373
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,800
As staff is indicated, we are here on infrastructure-only detailed site plan

374
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:58,780
for the former Washington executive airport and standing gravel mine, which is to the Northwest

375
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:04,220
for Washington, because of the way raired and stayed raired. As you know, Mr. Chairman, this is not

376
00:48:04,220 --> 00:48:09,040
and in terms of the board, this is not a new reasoning case. That was approved over two years ago.

377
00:48:09,420 --> 00:48:14,280
It's not a case about increasing density. The plenary plan was approved by UOL just like this past fall

378
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:20,560
in September of 2025. It is not a request to revisit prior approvals. All approvals are

379
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:27,820
final and beyond appeal. This is our first step at implementing the project that is

380
00:48:27,820 --> 00:48:30,920
undergone years in, in fact, decades of public review.

381
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:38,020
Highlanding is a transformative 425 acre long-distance land into a

382
00:48:38,020 --> 00:48:42,680
fall-fully planned residential community that delivers significant public benefits.

383
00:48:43,620 --> 00:48:49,020
Those public benefits, as you all know, include 109th and 32 acres of permanent stream

384
00:48:49,020 --> 00:48:51,280
park land that will be conveyed to the Commission.

385
00:48:51,900 --> 00:48:58,160
Far from succeeding in the mandatory dedication requirement, 7,370 linear feet of trails

386
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:03,560
integrated into Tinker's Creek, Shream Valley, in fact on Monday of this week we had a comprehensive

387
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:07,160
meeting with the Department of Parks and Recreation on these trail networks.

388
00:49:08,100 --> 00:49:14,020
Shared use pass on both on bike lanes on both sides in Maryland 2203 and Steadrad, 5,000

389
00:49:14,020 --> 00:49:19,800
square foot community clubhouse with gathering and space for the community. Major, intersection

390
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:24,340
and frontage improvements along Maryland at 223 and State Road, improvements spearheaded

391
00:49:24,340 --> 00:49:29,300
by the applicant, with consultation and buy-in from the community after years and years of

392
00:49:29,300 --> 00:49:35,560
community engagement. This is responsible redevelopment, reclaiming a full-more-mind and airfield

393
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:41,100
and replacing it with environmental preservation, multimodal connectivity, and long-term public

394
00:49:41,100 --> 00:49:41,980
open space.

395
00:49:42,620 --> 00:49:45,980
What's before you today is our first attempt and step at the infrastructure.

396
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,220
Proceeding this will be a subsequent detail site when it's for actual phases of development.

397
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:56,620
This planning include public streets including the Master Plan C518, 518, utilities,

398
00:49:56,980 --> 00:49:59,940
and strong water management facilities, sidewalks, and so on.

399
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:25,200
Reuse pass and environmental protection measures. No building architecture is before you today, no new density is proposed. Staff has evaluated this application under Section 27-365E and finds that it incorporates all prior conditions of approval, preserves regulated environmental features of the full-successant possible, conforms to the approved RPD-basic plan approval, and meets all Apple development standards.

400
00:50:25,780 --> 00:50:33,740
We agree. Mr. Chairman, I could go on. I just want to conclude by providing that this

401
00:50:33,740 --> 00:50:39,840
component of the project represents the culmination of years of public process and inter-APC

402
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:44,740
review, as well as tremendous amount of public outreach. I have previously and other hearings

403
00:50:44,740 --> 00:50:48,900
gone through the lengths that this applicant and this development team have gone through

404
00:50:48,900 --> 00:50:53,000
with respect to public outreach to include creating a stakeholder group of all community

405
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:57,580
leaders in this area. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it, but I don't need a

406
00:50:57,580 --> 00:51:00,700
belabor because I think you're well aware of the efforts of this particular applicant

407
00:51:00,700 --> 00:51:03,300
in this application as a relates to that outreach.

408
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,160
This plan, however, nonetheless,

409
00:51:08,260 --> 00:51:13,420
implements the lawfully approved rezoning. It implements the lawfully approved

410
00:51:13,420 --> 00:51:17,120
preliminary plan and subdivision that you all approved just a few months ago.

411
00:51:18,180 --> 00:51:21,560
It implements a significant environmental preservation and public

412
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:26,740
Parkland dedication, and we agreed that staff is carefully reviewed the record and recommends approval

413
00:51:26,740 --> 00:51:31,160
of this application and the Associate Institute, too, and as I mentioned before, we agree.

414
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,180
And in further support, we would just incorporate an adopt our justification statement, which

415
00:51:36,180 --> 00:51:40,880
isn't your back if a page is 1, 3, 4, E, A. With that, Mr. Chairman, obviously we're happy to

416
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,140
answer any questions, but I would conclude there, and just respectfully request your continued

417
00:51:45,140 --> 00:51:49,660
support of this very important project, and the words approval has recommended by staff.

418
00:51:49,780 --> 00:51:50,800
Thank you.

419
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:51,800
Are there any questions?

420
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:52,340
We'll miss it.

421
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:53,060
Let's go.

422
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:54,240
I have none.

423
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,160
A little.

424
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,160
And I see that there is nine in opposition.

425
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:00,120
There's their motion.

426
00:52:00,500 --> 00:52:00,940
Mr. Chair.

427
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:01,900
I moved that.

428
00:52:01,980 --> 00:52:07,800
We adopt the findings and recommendations with staff as detailed in the staff report and approve

429
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,360
DSP 2025 dash.

430
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:21,160
1-7 detailed site plan, high landing and type 2-3 conservation plan, TCP-2-2025-0053.

431
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:23,600
A second on this job.

432
00:52:24,060 --> 00:52:25,140
I'm probably moving to second.

433
00:52:25,340 --> 00:52:26,200
I will now call the roll.

434
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:27,040
Thanks, Chair.

435
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:27,880
You're all done?

436
00:52:28,020 --> 00:52:28,660
But I...

437
00:52:28,660 --> 00:52:29,380
Mission to the core.

438
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:30,280
You're leveled up.

439
00:52:30,540 --> 00:52:31,380
And I'll go and I as well.

440
00:52:31,620 --> 00:52:32,420
Thank you so much.

441
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:35,960
The next item on the agenda is item number 7.

442
00:52:36,820 --> 00:52:37,340
Extention.

443
00:52:37,340 --> 00:52:40,820
requires for preliminary plan for the2210121

444
00:52:44,460 --> 00:52:47,680
in multi-family apartment. We will now get

445
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,060
fund must be there. Thank you, Speaker.

446
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:52,900
Morning Mister chair and members

447
00:52:52,900 --> 00:52:54,940
of the boards for the care. My name is

448
00:52:54,940 --> 00:52:55,440
myself,

449
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,440
I think this is the subdivision section. Item

450
00:52:58,440 --> 00:52:59,880
number seven, a

451
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:03,940
gender is an extension request for the preliminary plan

452
00:53:03,940 --> 00:53:04,920
of subdivision

453
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:10,660
for dash 2201 through titled the Hermann Wolfi family apartments.

454
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:17,620
This preliminary plan of subdivision was approved by the planning board on January 18, 2024,

455
00:53:18,260 --> 00:53:25,640
and was valued through February 8, 2020. The property is in the residential single-family

456
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:35,040
RSF-65 and RSF-8A zones however the preliminary plan of subdivision was reviewed under the

457
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:42,900
prior one-family detached residential R-55 and one-family semi detached and two-family detached

458
00:53:42,900 --> 00:53:50,240
residential R-35 zones. It's located in the on the north side of a year old,

459
00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:59,820
Approximately 2,500 feet south east of its intersection with MD410 East West Highway.

460
00:54:00,260 --> 00:54:07,700
The preliminary plan for dash 22012 approved two parcels for development of 145

461
00:54:07,700 --> 00:54:16,420
multifamily during units. By later dated on December 18, 2025, the applicant requested

462
00:54:16,420 --> 00:54:23,340
the one-year extension of the plan's approval and if this request in the approved preliminary plan,

463
00:54:23,720 --> 00:54:34,920
will be valid through February 8, 2007. Section 24-119B of the prior subdivision regulations

464
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:41,360
authorizes the planning board to grant an extension to the normal exploration of the preliminary plan

465
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:49,540
subdivision when certain criteria are met. These criteria and all the findings are listed in the

466
00:54:49,540 --> 00:54:55,860
staff's number and them. Staff has not received any exhibits or correspondence prior to the

467
00:54:55,860 --> 00:54:59,220
Tuesday noon deadline February 10, 2020.

468
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:15,380
In conclusion, staff, we commend that the planning board adopt the findings of the staff's memorandum and approve the one-year extension request of the preliminary plan of subdivision for that to 201-2.

469
00:55:15,540 --> 00:55:18,240
These concludes the staff's presentation. Thank you.

470
00:55:18,240 --> 00:55:21,060
Richard, are there any questions from the claimants?

471
00:55:21,260 --> 00:55:22,200
I'd love to.

472
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,000
And I'm Mr. Tedesco.

473
00:55:24,300 --> 00:55:25,520
I'll leave.

474
00:55:26,300 --> 00:55:26,620
Let's go.

475
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,640
So I'm still promised to tell the truth.

476
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,420
Good morning, Mr. Chairman, for the recommendation.

477
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,960
Tedesco, law, season, rainboat.

478
00:55:35,260 --> 00:55:38,180
Here on behalf of the applicant and owner

479
00:55:38,180 --> 00:55:40,340
housing and community housing initiative

480
00:55:40,340 --> 00:55:43,160
in Mousa, and Pentecostal Church of Washington DC,

481
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,760
on the line virtually with us

482
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:51,320
representatives of Community Housing Initiative, Joe Byrne, Robert Byrne, and Pat Byrne, and from

483
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:58,560
Land Tech, Kim Morgan, I want to thank Ms. Von Duys for her review and also Ms. Scoop, we had

484
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:04,240
a number of four responses back and forth with respect to this request and I want to thank

485
00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:09,800
them for their analysis and their review. I'm happy to submit on our letter that was submitted

486
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:15,400
in support of this. We certainly agree with staff's recommendation to grant the one-year extension

487
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:21,120
The detailed site plan is in the process of certification and the plat has been prepared.

488
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:28,180
So we do expect that the one-year extension will be sufficient of time to bring this project to completion,

489
00:56:28,420 --> 00:56:36,180
or at least the entitlement to completion, so that we can deliver affordable housing inside the buttway and high bill.

490
00:56:36,240 --> 00:56:37,340
Thank you Mr. Chairman.

491
00:56:37,340 --> 00:56:39,540
And are there any questions from Mr. Tedes?

492
00:56:39,580 --> 00:56:41,040
I have none.

493
00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:45,140
And is there, I don't believe any one is signed up in our position?

494
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:47,980
Is there a motion?

495
00:56:48,500 --> 00:56:53,660
I move that we adopt the findings of staff Mr. Chair and recommendations of staff as

496
00:56:53,660 --> 00:56:59,720
detailed and staff report and approve the one-year extension of the preliminary plan for

497
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:06,300
preliminary plan for dash 2201 to the Hermann-Moltag family accounts.

498
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:08,320
That's the second of us, Chairman.

499
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,260
It's been properly moved to second.

500
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,460
I would now call the road by steer of the road.

501
00:57:12,740 --> 00:57:13,180
Oh, aye.

502
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:14,420
Commissioner for four years.

503
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:15,080
I don't go to that.

504
00:57:15,300 --> 00:57:16,780
And I go to that as well.

505
00:57:17,140 --> 00:57:18,040
Thank you so much.

506
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:19,880

my name is Jason Bartlett with the subdivision section. Item number eight on the agenda is

517
00:58:07,670 --> 00:58:10,230
preliminary plan of subdivision.

518
00:58:13,610 --> 00:58:19,870
Cornerstone Commons PPS-2025-002. This subdivision

519
00:58:20,970 --> 00:58:30,160
proposes 166 lots and 33 parcels for development of 116 townhouse dwellings and 8,720 square feet

520
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,040
of existing community service use.

521
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,120
Before I continue, as a matter of housekeeping,

522
00:58:37,860 --> 00:58:41,300

subdivision. In addition, the planning board received two letters from

535
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,880
and through his homes, front on vision.

536
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Dried, expressing support of the proposed development and the in-opposition to the connection of the

537
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:12,360
bishops' drive to gently land. These letters have been entered into the record as part of the case

538
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,440
back up. Next slide,

539
01:00:21,470 --> 01:00:26,410
continuing with the presentation, this second slide shows general indication

540
01:00:26,410 --> 01:00:32,790
of the property in the central western part of Prince George's county within planning areas

541
01:00:32,790 --> 01:00:36,850
72 and council district seven. Next slide please

542
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,700
Mr. Flanagan. Next slide.

543
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:55,440
More specifically,

544
01:00:56,140 --> 01:01:01,900
the site outlined in purple is located on the south side of central avenue and east of hill road.

545
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:03,200
Next slide please.

546
01:01:11,490 --> 01:01:13,050
I'm in some technical difficulties.

547
01:01:14,730 --> 01:01:17,390
There it is.

548
01:01:17,830 --> 01:01:21,890
A designing map shows a site outlined in red and lying in the residential multi-family

549
01:01:21,890 --> 01:01:24,050
20 or RMF 20 zone.

550
01:01:24,450 --> 01:01:28,150
It further shows a property is surrounded by land predominantly zone residential.

551
01:01:28,730 --> 01:01:29,650
Next slide, please.

552
01:01:38,860 --> 01:01:43,540
This slide shows a property also lies with if in military insulation overlay zone for height

553
01:01:43,540 --> 01:01:46,480
associated with the joint base androids of protein but

554
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:51,760
or clearance of 50 to one that will be reviewed at the time of detailed site plan.

555
01:01:52,420 --> 01:01:53,220
Next slide, please.

556
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,480
The mass plan right-of-way map shows that the property has

557
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:06,400
front-inch on central avenue, a master plan classified arterial roadway, requiring residential

558
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:12,460
loss be plated with the minimum block depth of 150 feet. It further requires the applicant

559
01:02:12,460 --> 01:02:18,700
demonstrate through a noise study that the transportation generated noise is less than or can be

560
01:02:18,700 --> 01:02:28,360
to be less than 55 DBA during high-time hours and 65 DBA during daytime hours at the proposed location.

561
01:02:30,140 --> 01:02:37,660
The 150 foot lot depth requirements and noise requirement will be discussed in more detail in upcoming slides.

562
01:02:38,180 --> 01:02:39,080
Next slide, please.

563
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:46,020
The slide provides a bird's eye view of the property showing the property is currently

564
01:02:46,020 --> 01:02:52,340
improved with a 300-seat church and associated parking located along the frontage of central

565
01:02:52,340 --> 01:02:57,880
avenue, which is proposed to remain. It additionally shows existing single-family detached

566
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:04,200
development, a long-juntary lane that abuts the subject property on three sides. As further

567
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:09,220
shows the property is surrounded by land developed with single-family detached homes to the north

568
01:03:09,220 --> 01:03:12,880
and west sides and sparsely to the east.

569
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:31,800
We would like to note at this point that all remaining slides in this presentation have been rotated clockwise to provide a larger viewing image, which orientates the site with central avenue shown to the left and the north end of the site to the right.

570
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:48,100
This overall view of the preliminary plan of subdivision shows a layout of the proposed 186 lots and 33 parcels for the development of 186 townhouse dwelling and the existing church.

571
01:03:48,100 --> 01:03:51,600
The boundary of the proposed subdivision is outlined in red.

572
01:03:51,980 --> 01:03:56,580
The primary management area, protecting steep slopes and environmental

573
01:03:56,580 --> 01:04:02,540
excessive areas, such as the stream and floodplain, is outlined in bright pink.

574
01:04:03,380 --> 01:04:06,680
The existing public rights of way are highlighted in blue.

575
01:04:06,980 --> 01:04:12,640
The area proposed to be dedicated as public right away are highlighted in orange.

576
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,960
Private roads and alleys are highlighted in gray.

577
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:22,520
The two parcels that will preserve the existing church and its parking are highlighting yellow.

578
01:04:23,820 --> 01:04:32,300
The residential lots are outlined in black, and the proposed stormwater management ponds are outlined with bold black lines.

579
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:34,660
No, I don't say that.

580
01:04:35,580 --> 01:04:41,260
You went up to the site. Access is provided via two points along central avenue.

581
01:04:41,980 --> 01:04:43,400
If you could go back please.

582
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,540
of the

583
01:04:47,940 --> 01:04:52,000
site access is provided via two points along central avenue.

584
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:59,660
One is from the existing public right of way of gantry lane, which terminates into a proposed

585
01:04:59,660 --> 01:04:59,940
is the right way.

586
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:10,160
Private Street at its northern end, and which serves two additional proposed private streets and alleys. The site's second access is from a proposed private road that

587
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:22,100
biceps and serves the existing church property and extends into the development, serving lots and connecting to other proposed internal private roads and alleys in the eastern portion of the site.

588
01:05:22,100 --> 01:05:26,720
The street connectivity will be discussed further into this presentation.

589
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:32,400
This preliminary plan is associated with an approved certificate of adequacy,

590
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:41,240
ABQ-2025-005, which was approved in accordance with the subdivision regulations to ensure

591
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:46,440
the infrastructure necessary to support the proposed development are adequate in accordance

592
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:48,280
with established levels of service.

593
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:49,720
Next slide, please.

594
01:05:52,380 --> 01:05:59,020
This slide provides an illustrative exhibit showing the types of townhouse units being provided

595
01:05:59,020 --> 01:06:01,940
and their proposed locations within the development.

596
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:03,220
Next slide, please.

597
01:06:06,010 --> 01:06:14,690
The applicant requested a variation from Section 24-4102C1 of the subdivision regulations to allow

598
01:06:14,690 --> 01:06:19,110
three lots be plated that do not meet the 150 foot lot depth requirement.

599
01:06:19,990 --> 01:06:26,490
This line exhibits the three-seventic lots outlined in black, as well as a 150-foot lot

600
01:06:26,490 --> 01:06:32,390
depth dimension line for reference. It further shows the noise contours and proposed mitigation

601
01:06:32,390 --> 01:06:39,310
measures to reduce noise to the required levels. Given the proposed mitigation and the analysis

602
01:06:39,310 --> 01:06:47,070
of variation criteria outlined on pages 7 through 10 of the technical staff report, staff recommended

603
01:06:47,070 --> 01:06:48,610
approval of this variation.

604
01:06:52,700 --> 01:06:57,220
This side provides an excerpt of the preliminary plan

605
01:06:57,220 --> 01:06:59,980
showing the existing public right away of Bishop

606
01:06:59,980 --> 01:07:02,160
Dride's entry lane in blue.

607
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:07,580
The area in yellow represents staff determination of the area

608
01:07:07,580 --> 01:07:11,140
which should also be dedicated as public right away

609
01:07:11,140 --> 01:07:13,020
to complete the street connection.

610
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:18,180
The applicant currently proposes a portion of the area

611
01:07:18,180 --> 01:07:23,880
in yellow as private road sea without connection to Bishop Drive.

612
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:30,440
Staff's determination is supported by the three code section shown on this slide and discussed

613
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:39,720
in finding three and seven of the technical staff report on pages 5 through 7 and 16 through 18 respectively.

614
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:50,140
Specifically, Section 24-4201, D of the subdivision regulations, states that all proposed

615
01:07:50,140 --> 01:07:57,960
streets shall comply with the standards in Section 27-6206, vehicular access and circulation

616
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:03,580
of the zoning ordinance, and be continuous and an alignment with existing and plated

617
01:08:03,580 --> 01:08:10,720
streets and enjoying subdivisions, so as to create a network that is functional and easily

618
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:16,720
understandable, staff find that in accordance with this section, existing and platted

619
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:21,460
Bishop Drive is in alignment with Jim Prelain as shown in this exhibit.

620
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:28,140
His connection would make these streets continuous and provide a functional street network

621
01:08:28,140 --> 01:08:33,560
that is easy to understand thereby conforming to this section of the subdivision regulation.

622
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:44,840
Section 27-6206-H1 of the zoning ordinance states that the arrangement of streets in a single

623
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:51,260
family residential subdivision shall provide for the alignment and continuation of existing

624
01:08:51,260 --> 01:08:57,020
or proposed streets into a joining lands, where the joining lands are developed and include

625
01:08:57,020 --> 01:09:02,900
opportunities for such connections, staff find that this regulation applies as the

626
01:09:02,900 --> 01:09:07,740
adjoining land where Bishop Drive-ins is developed and the opportunity to make

627
01:09:07,740 --> 01:09:18,180
this connection exists. Section 27-6206i provides two parts, part one states, the

628
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:23,040
pro street layout, shall be coordinated with the existing street system and

629
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:28,060
surrounding areas, staff find it in conformance with this part, connecting

630
01:09:28,060 --> 01:09:32,800
gentry lane to Bishop Drive is a proper coordination of the existing

631
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:38,080
street system which was intended to connect as evidenced by the existing

632
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:43,160
right-of-way dedication shown on this slide. Part two states of the

633
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:48,960
existing street shall to the maximum extent practical be extended to provide

634
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:54,540
access to adjacent developments and subdivisions and to provide for additional points of

635
01:09:54,540 --> 01:09:55,940
the ingress and egress.

636
01:09:56,780 --> 01:09:59,580
Staff again find that the connection is clearly practical.

637
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:13,400
As the existing, dated right away extends over the applicant's proposed private road, staff further fine, that the street connection supports the complete street policies of the master plan of transportation,

638
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,920
in connecting multiple transportation networks.

639
01:10:18,220 --> 01:10:20,600
Staff would like to further highlight the importance

640
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:23,560
of complete and connected neighborhood streets

641
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:28,880
and the wide behind the requirements of the policies exist.

642
01:10:30,420 --> 01:10:33,740
Connected streets create additional points of access

643
01:10:33,740 --> 01:10:37,920
through neighborhoods which supports emergency access and circulation.

644
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:44,820
They create mutually beneficial connections to neighborhoods serving uses.

645
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:52,140
In this case, in particular, there are existing neighborhood datecares, community center,

646
01:10:52,220 --> 01:10:55,480
a school, as well as a church on the subject property.

647
01:10:57,970 --> 01:11:04,090
And the loud neighborhood circulation without having to go onto central avenue, a higher

648
01:11:04,090 --> 01:11:11,890
speed roadway and the re entering, I'm sorry, and the re entering other neighborhood street

649
01:11:11,890 --> 01:11:17,190
and then re entering other neighborhood streets, creating additional points, a potential

650
01:11:17,190 --> 01:11:18,550
traffic conflicts.

651
01:11:19,970 --> 01:11:25,270
In applicants exhibit one, the applicant expresses their disagreement with staff that such

652
01:11:25,270 --> 01:11:31,030
a connection is required, appropriate, or in public interest for this project.

653
01:11:31,030 --> 01:11:39,110
The African states that staff places undo weight on a generalized policy preference for street connectivity.

654
01:11:40,270 --> 01:11:47,410
However, staff contend that applicants exhibit one places undo weight on the traffic analysis adequacy

655
01:11:47,410 --> 01:11:52,470
and the fact that the community outreach established that the connection was not desired.

656
01:11:53,310 --> 01:11:59,830
However, staff finds that none of these factors were intended to be addressed by the cited code sections.

657
01:11:59,830 --> 01:12:05,850
In fact, the site has already met atocacy by evidence of the approved certificate of atocacy.

658
01:12:06,630 --> 01:12:10,490
This requires for all preliminary plans prior to planning board approval.

659
01:12:11,370 --> 01:12:16,330
Staff contend that these particular sections of the subdivision regulations and zoning ordinance

660
01:12:16,330 --> 01:12:23,150
were intended to address street patterning and the continuation of streets into other neighborhoods

661
01:12:23,150 --> 01:12:28,190
that create a functional and sensible street system throughout the county.

662
01:12:28,190 --> 01:12:31,430
separate from the traffic adequacy.

663
01:12:31,790 --> 01:12:35,210
Staff further contend that creating a connection

664
01:12:35,210 --> 01:12:37,570
such as the one between

665
01:12:38,330 --> 01:12:40,670
Gentry Lane and Bishop Drive,

666
01:12:41,590 --> 01:12:44,070
which is clearly practical, feasible,

667
01:12:44,510 --> 01:12:46,290
and even envisioned with the development

668
01:12:46,290 --> 01:12:49,010
that dedicated Bishop Drive to public use,

669
01:12:49,450 --> 01:12:52,610
is exactly what his co-sections intended to ensure.

670
01:12:53,870 --> 01:12:56,170
Staff further contend that to allow this connection

671
01:12:56,170 --> 01:13:02,610
to go unbuilt is clearly contrary to the requirements of the zoning ordinance and conformance

672
01:13:02,610 --> 01:13:05,930
with the master plant. Next slide please.

673
01:13:12,570 --> 01:13:14,550
This slide shows a Type 1 Tree Conservation

674
01:13:14,550 --> 01:13:20,730
Plan with a pose on-site woodland preservation areas highlighted in green and stormwater

675
01:13:20,730 --> 01:13:26,770
management ponds and structures outlined with bold black lights. The applicant has requested

676
01:13:26,770 --> 01:13:34,310
of variance from section 25-122B1G of the Prince George's county code, which requires preservation

677
01:13:34,310 --> 01:13:35,590
of specimen trees.

678
01:13:36,670 --> 01:13:43,070
This preliminary plan of subdivision proposes a removal of 57 specimen trees on site.

679
01:13:44,090 --> 01:13:49,750
Due to the number of trees requested for removal, they are indicated on this slide in general

680
01:13:49,750 --> 01:13:54,170
areas of tree clusters to be removed outlined with red cloud lines.

681
01:13:54,170 --> 01:14:00,130
staff recommend the planning board approve this variance request, which is supported by required

682
01:14:00,130 --> 01:14:05,850
finding for approval and discuss further in the environmental findings on page 26 through 29

683
01:14:05,850 --> 01:14:08,090
of the technical staff report.

684
01:14:08,730 --> 01:14:09,850
Next slide, please.

685
01:14:13,420 --> 01:14:16,140
This slide shows a proposed impact to the PMA.

686
01:14:16,460 --> 01:14:18,310
There are two types of impacts or what?

687
01:14:19,220 --> 01:14:21,640
The periary impacts and permanent impacts.

688
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:29,500
The temporary impacts are generally for grading during construction that will be allowed to regenerate afterwards and no longer be considered impacts.

689
01:14:30,340 --> 01:14:34,940
The permanent impacts are generally for road crossings, water and sewer line easements,

690
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:40,660
outfall structures and the light that will be installed and remain in place.

691
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:45,640
The three temporary impacts are identified on the slide as T133.

692
01:14:46,380 --> 01:14:50,420
The five permanent impacts are identified as A through E.

693
01:14:50,420 --> 01:14:55,940
staff recommend the planning board to prove the requested PMA impacts as further be

694
01:14:55,940 --> 01:14:59,700
told staff analysis on page 32 through 34.

695
01:15:01,100 --> 01:15:02,960
The next slide please.

696
01:15:11,420 --> 01:15:30,320
The slide shows a location of open space and recreation areas. The active recreation areas are highlighted in red. The past recreation areas are highlighting yellow. The natural features in light purple and required landscape areas counting toward open space set aside our highlighting green.

697
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:43,080
The applicant exceeds requirements for open space set aside which includes active recreation areas as further discussed in staffs analysis on page 35 and 36 of the technical staff report.

698
01:15:43,480 --> 01:15:44,320
Next slide please.

699
01:15:48,450 --> 01:15:52,610
This slide shows an analysis of the connectivity index for the site.

700
01:15:53,370 --> 01:16:03,750
As previously discussed, the preliminary plan proposes two full movement access points along central avenue that feed into the proposed internal private roads and alleys.

701
01:16:03,750 --> 01:16:06,010
to serve the lots and parcels.

702
01:16:06,510 --> 01:16:10,090
Staff note that four of the links shown on this exhibit

703
01:16:10,090 --> 01:16:12,370
do not meet the definition of a link

704
01:16:12,370 --> 01:16:14,270
as provided in the zoning ordinance.

705
01:16:14,930 --> 01:16:17,050
However, with their removal,

706
01:16:17,350 --> 01:16:20,090
the site still meets the minimum connectivity index

707
01:16:20,090 --> 01:16:21,670
of 1.5.

708
01:16:22,370 --> 01:16:25,190
Revisions to the findings in the technical staff report

709
01:16:25,190 --> 01:16:27,370
related to the connectivity score

710
01:16:27,370 --> 01:16:29,870
will be provided in the final resolution.

711
01:16:30,590 --> 01:16:32,590
Staff further note that the connection

712
01:16:32,590 --> 01:16:37,930
of Bishop Drive to Gentry Lane should also be provided as previously discussed.

713
01:16:38,930 --> 01:16:39,870
Next slide, please.

714
01:16:42,390 --> 01:16:47,150
In conclusion, the subdivision staff recommended that the platform board adopt the findings

715
01:16:47,150 --> 01:16:54,550
and approve the preliminary plan of subdivision, pps-20205-002, type one tree conservation

716
01:16:54,550 --> 01:17:04,170
plan, tcp1-20205-0032, as well as the variation request to section 24-404.

717
01:17:04,170 --> 01:17:13,030
We want to see and the variance request from section 25-122B1G subject to the findings and conditions

718
01:17:13,030 --> 01:17:14,990
in this technical staff report.

719
01:17:15,650 --> 01:17:17,650
And this concludes the ask for the patient.

720
01:17:18,150 --> 01:17:19,210
Morning, good job.

721
01:17:19,770 --> 01:17:19,990
Very good.

722
01:17:20,890 --> 01:17:23,750
Today must be Matthew to Desco Day.

723
01:17:26,570 --> 01:17:35,530
One of the first his family role in the session is, we're about all the time to the, my late father's birthday, so it's a good one.

724
01:17:35,930 --> 01:17:42,410
It all persists and sending on given testimony on this item to stand and raise their right hand.

725
01:17:42,950 --> 01:17:47,330
These, where are a firm that the testimony you about to get is the truth?

726
01:17:47,330 --> 01:17:55,550
I do. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, in terms of the board. It's nice to be over for you for the third and final time today.

727
01:17:56,150 --> 01:18:01,760
I appreciate your indulgence in your accommodations.

728
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:09,920
With me this morning from NBR Inc. Who is the applicant for this case. I've seen Matthew Cinesco.

729
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:14,100
As law officers, law officers enact me hoes any green belt on behalf of the applicant in VR.

730
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,760
From MBR, we have Mr. Paddoni here. If you can just acknowledge yourself,

731
01:18:19,260 --> 01:18:25,140
Ms. Nuschen, Mirpur, and from MCB Real Estate, we have, and you're with us as well,

732
01:18:25,900 --> 01:18:33,380
making up the full applicant team. Rogers Consulting is the civil engineering environmental planning team

733
01:18:33,380 --> 01:18:39,200
for this case, Charlie Howe, Christine Gillette, Rob Swannimer with us, also Casey Anderson,

734
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,320
and there's doing this for this one as well.

735
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,720
Then her traveling insulting, Mike Lenhardt online,

736
01:18:45,980 --> 01:18:47,320
from my office to New Yorker,

737
01:18:47,740 --> 01:18:51,420
to the founding locker, from our office as a student

738
01:18:51,420 --> 01:18:53,860
and land planner, and from G.S. Park and Associates

739
01:18:53,860 --> 01:18:55,760
from Mr. Miro Harris, and here's the Indian audience

740
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:56,640
with us.

741
01:18:57,380 --> 01:18:59,320
As always, I do want to thank Mr. Barley

742
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:00,780
and Ms. Gupta for their review,

743
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:03,900
and Mr. Barley has come to be expected

744
01:19:03,900 --> 01:19:08,300
to very thorough, well presented case this morning,

745
01:19:08,300 --> 01:19:18,600
as well as a very thorough staff report, and we agree with 99.8% of it. I'm happy to say that.

746
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:24,800
And I think we all knew going into this case very early on with respect to what the major issue is going to be.

747
01:19:25,100 --> 01:19:30,020
And I'm going to get into that in a moment, Mr. Chairman, but if you can just give me just a little bit of indulgence,

748
01:19:30,180 --> 01:19:34,700
I do want to go through a couple of high points before we get to the main attraction.

749
01:19:36,140 --> 01:19:43,140
As Mr. Bradley indicated, we're here on Plenary Plan of Television, PPS2-025-002 for cornerstone

750
01:19:43,140 --> 01:19:43,580
comments.

751
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:48,800
This is another NBR I thoughtfully and Rogers consulting, thoughtfully designed, context,

752
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:55,600
sensitive, townhouse community on approximately 29.3-2 acres, along central out in the arm of

753
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:59,660
them to use this permitted. This project conforms to the...

754
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:04,860
General plan, sub-reason for a master plan, and we saw adequately see requirements for

755
01:20:04,860 --> 01:20:10,880
a significant environmental resources, as meaningful onsite recreation, which will be further highlighted

756
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:15,940
in the detailed site plan. It invests millions of dollars into this community along central

757
01:20:15,940 --> 01:20:20,620
avenue in the blue and corridor, an area specifically earmarked and flag for redevelopment

758
01:20:20,620 --> 01:20:25,560
and reinvestment by the county, this commission, and the administration. It reflects

759
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,400
extraordinary responsiveness to neighborhood input.

760
01:20:30,660 --> 01:20:32,260
As I mentioned before in the staff

761
01:20:32,260 --> 01:20:36,720
in the care, there's only one actual issue before you today, on this case. The staff

762
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:41,140
recommendation to extend this and drive into this community. I will address that later

763
01:20:41,140 --> 01:20:44,740
and respectfully in the presentation here in a moment.

764
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:50,180
Turning to Plan 235 in the master plan, this property is located within the established

765
01:20:50,180 --> 01:20:54,580
community's growth policy areas. The recommends and encourages context-sensitive

766
01:20:54,580 --> 01:20:59,380
in full development, reinforcement of existing neighborhoods, and infrastructure supported

767
01:20:59,380 --> 01:21:00,100
development.

768
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:05,280
The sub-region for, in 2010, sub-region for master plan recommends medium-high density

769
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:10,800
residential uses for the property that equates to 8 to 20 dwelling units per acre.

770
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:16,780
The application before you propose a 7.1 dwelling unit per acre, slightly below the master plan

771
01:21:16,780 --> 01:21:21,460
range, but intentionally designed to create a transition to the surrounding single-family

772
01:21:21,460 --> 01:21:24,440
it was while preserving the environmental features on the property.

773
01:21:25,260 --> 01:21:28,600
The density is not maximized in this case, it is moderated.

774
01:21:29,140 --> 01:21:30,980
To respect existing neighborhood character,

775
01:21:31,860 --> 01:21:34,280
it's not over-development, it's responsible planning.

776
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,040
This project in this property is very unique.

777
01:21:38,220 --> 01:21:40,540
It has significant challenges.

778
01:21:41,660 --> 01:21:44,120
Environmental stewardship was at the heart of the layout.

779
01:21:45,020 --> 01:21:48,780
Balancing that in the features to accommodate what's needed in this area,

780
01:21:48,780 --> 01:21:51,020
in favor of the value of the quarter.

781
01:21:52,260 --> 01:21:57,560
The site contains significant woodland, streams, buffers, associated tributaries.

782
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:03,940
Approximately 8.75 acres of priority force within the stream valley, the development

783
01:22:03,940 --> 01:22:08,760
however preserves the stream valley and protective easements, concentrate the development outside

784
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:13,300
of the PMA, and utilize the environmental site design and stormwater management techniques,

785
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,160
and includes aforestation and re-forestation measures.

786
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:21,600
The impact of sensitive areas are very limited and mitigated as supported by staff and I want to

787
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:24,320
thanks staff and the environmental planning section for each review.

788
01:22:24,700 --> 01:22:29,480
They worked hand-in-handly for some of those elements of this project and I want to thank them.

789
01:22:30,780 --> 01:22:37,380
This is an environmentally sensitive redevelopment, a previously developed church property and not a reinforced

790
01:22:37,380 --> 01:22:38,920
sprawl development.

791
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:45,900
As Mr. Brullard indicated, it should be an advocacy,

792
01:22:46,140 --> 01:22:49,200
demonstrating a conformist to all public facility, out of two findings,

793
01:22:49,420 --> 01:22:50,640
says previous events proved.

794
01:22:53,570 --> 01:22:58,690
Turning to the applicants and its consulting teams efforts

795
01:22:58,690 --> 01:23:03,770
with respect to outreach and kind of what frames the issue before you this at this morning.

796
01:23:04,830 --> 01:23:08,830
Mr. Chairman, today marks seven months and two days since your first hearing.

797
01:23:09,470 --> 01:23:15,850
I think I've stood before you at least on 25 cases during that time period, maybe more.

798
01:23:16,110 --> 01:23:16,770
Little more.

799
01:23:16,890 --> 01:23:18,070
Just a little more.

800
01:23:18,070 --> 01:23:18,770
Just a little more.

801
01:23:19,850 --> 01:23:28,550
Um, long before your mandate on that July 10th date with respect to outreach, which you made very clear from the very first case that you had that right.

802
01:23:28,790 --> 01:23:30,390
I was your second case that day.

803
01:23:31,450 --> 01:23:33,470
This team has been demonstrated.

804
01:23:33,470 --> 01:23:42,750
And Tom and Tom again, with the help of G.S. property associates, myself and others, stakeholders,

805
01:23:44,010 --> 01:23:47,590
we endeavor to embark upon as much outreach as we possibly can.

806
01:23:48,310 --> 01:23:54,630
That occurred eight and nine, ten months before we even sat in the chair.

807
01:23:55,550 --> 01:23:59,230
And it's continued up until, as recently yesterday, as a matter of fact, because we've

808
01:23:59,230 --> 01:24:06,170
to represent it as a bishop drive here, who, one of whom most speak this morning, we did

809
01:24:06,170 --> 01:24:11,970
not simply comply with the statutory nose requirements. The team connect there with two dozen

810
01:24:11,970 --> 01:24:16,870
meetings and engagements over the past year or more. These efforts predate, as I mentioned,

811
01:24:17,130 --> 01:24:19,890
predated your mandate to applicants and zoning attorneys.

812
01:24:22,260 --> 01:24:23,700
In addition, if you see on your screen,

813
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:27,720
just so that you've east of Hillary and on the projects of the Marion Project, which you

814
01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:31,380
recently for the same development team was involved in that application so we were

815
01:24:31,380 --> 01:24:34,280
out in this community and that project has already gone through preliminary

816
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:37,520
planers are going through detailed sites. So it's about a year or more ahead of this

817
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:42,860
project. We hadn't been out in this community for years before we even got to

818
01:24:42,860 --> 01:24:48,620
the first documented outreach that we provided in the applicants exhibit to

819
01:24:48,620 --> 01:24:53,920
I guess it will be. And when we heard preliminary because we said hey we've got this

820
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:57,520
project at this project we've got other projects on the corridor. We heard very

821
01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,540
I can see something like that.

822
01:24:59,720 --> 01:24:59,960
We better...

823
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:11,140
I'll make a connection to Mr. Drug, because there's folks I'm not going to be too happy. So when we were in our planning stages and preparing plans for an otherwise we kind of knew from the get-go that that was probably going to be an issue.

824
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:23,760
We've since learned after actual directed engagement with folks on Mr. Drug and within the peppermint of those communities, there's a reason that, but we had understood the future would, in fact, be true.

825
01:25:24,740 --> 01:25:30,100
From the very first and middle we made, we did not show the connection a bit of drive

826
01:25:30,780 --> 01:25:33,260
based upon that feedback that we received.

827
01:25:34,620 --> 01:25:39,660
Staff rightly so, and as expected, even at the pre-acceptance stage record,

828
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:41,940
we showed that connection on the point where we were writing.

829
01:25:42,380 --> 01:25:45,740
We explained in multiple letters as well as our justification to say,

830
01:25:45,860 --> 01:25:47,420
why we were not going to do that.

831
01:25:48,020 --> 01:25:51,880
It wasn't in an effort to not be responsive to staff.

832
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:53,940
It wasn't an effort to pick a fight.

833
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:59,320
It wasn't an effort to do anything other than to do what you mandated, which was created when

834
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:00,000
when.

835
01:26:00,500 --> 01:26:04,940
When we have an opportunity, and not every case limits itself to these types of opportunities,

836
01:26:05,580 --> 01:26:13,600
but when we have an opportunity to accommodate the community's desires, I promise you I'm

837
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:14,700
going to do that.

838
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:21,500
If it results in a longer hearing on a Thursday of a results in staff having to provide a longer

839
01:26:21,500 --> 01:26:27,580
presentation or results in me having to provide written testimony to support that, we will do it and staff will respond.

840
01:26:28,180 --> 01:26:30,520
And that's what you have, of course, it's not me, of course, then.

841
01:26:31,300 --> 01:26:33,040
It's not the community versus the applicant.

842
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:39,460
Some cases, the things that we are asked to do we can't do.

843
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:41,520
Sometimes they are cost prohibitive.

844
01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:46,500
Sometimes the property just doesn't allow us to do it, we may want to, we just can't.

845
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:48,360
In this instance, we had an opportunity.

846
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:54,280
We had an opportunity to listen, we had an opportunity to build a trust, we had an opportunity

847
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:55,200
to be responsive.

848
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:56,620
And that's what we did.

849
01:26:57,300 --> 01:26:58,160
And that's all we're doing.

850
01:27:00,580 --> 01:27:03,140
I wouldn't go through this in great detail.

851
01:27:03,540 --> 01:27:08,020
I'm sharing the board noticed the amount of outreach that occurred in this case.

852
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:13,940
From the sense of coalition to meetings with the Peck Mill Civic Community Association,

853
01:27:14,500 --> 01:27:19,580
to numerous meetings with Miss Young and her neighbors who live at the end of this

854
01:27:19,580 --> 01:27:26,880
drive to include actual door-knocking, dropping literature,

855
01:27:27,860 --> 01:27:32,140
all to the residents on gentry lane to request meetings with them so that they

856
01:27:32,140 --> 01:27:35,920
knew things were going to change. This property is armed in this arm of

857
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:39,780
20zone. It's actually contemplated for even higher density development than

858
01:27:39,780 --> 01:27:44,320
what to propose to the tune of multifamily arm office, residential multifamily.

859
01:27:44,620 --> 01:27:49,460
We came in with front homes, one because one of the things we heard with

860
01:27:49,460 --> 01:27:54,280
Mary and Project, which is a full rental product is, we'd like to have more home ownership.

861
01:27:54,680 --> 01:27:55,560
We said, great, perfect.

862
01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:57,580
I don't know the Project, great down the street.

863
01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:03,960
That's going to provide a few simple town home ownership for continued ownership.

864
01:28:04,340 --> 01:28:06,360
You can see just from this area on that.

865
01:28:06,580 --> 01:28:10,460
One of the issues with the Central Avenue in the blue line corridor, and one of the issues that

866
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:17,580
the future sector plane is endeavoring to accomplish, which you all have a joint public hearing

867
01:28:17,580 --> 01:28:18,680
on that I think in March.

868
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:36,700
is acknowledgement that there is a tremendous amount of single-family detached homes in this area of the county, inside the Broadway, which is wonderful, but we need higher density residential development to spur higher, better commercial redevelopment along this corridor.

869
01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:41,700
This project, as well as other projects on the quarter, do exactly that.

870
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:46,300
And so, but change is hard.

871
01:28:46,820 --> 01:28:50,360
A lot of these residents have lived in this community longer than I've been alive.

872
01:28:53,440 --> 01:28:55,980
I related to these members of the community.

873
01:28:56,180 --> 01:29:00,120
And since I remember Central Avenue as a kid, I remember the driving movie theater on Central Avenue.

874
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:04,320
I remember I know how Central Avenue has changed, but it hasn't always changed for the better.

875
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:09,820
And we've tried to explain and encourage that while changing is hard, it's necessary.

876
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:12,780
We were asked to do two things.

877
01:29:13,580 --> 01:29:14,320
Two things.

878
01:29:15,140 --> 01:29:18,680
Move the units as far as you can from the existing homes on this drive.

879
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:21,480
And please, please, please do not make that connection.

880
01:29:23,570 --> 01:29:26,830
The written testimony that we provided, we've demonstrated how we did that.

881
01:29:27,970 --> 01:29:31,430
We've increased the buffer along that western side of the property.

882
01:29:31,430 --> 01:29:36,570
And the closest house, I think, is 130 feet from the closest existing house on Bishop

883
01:29:36,570 --> 01:29:37,090
Drive.

884
01:29:37,610 --> 01:29:43,590
We moved things from Charlie will smack me, but I think it was like 26 feet or something

885
01:29:43,590 --> 01:29:45,770
to over 120 feet.

886
01:29:46,470 --> 01:29:50,430
That was directly in response to Ms. Young's requesting to mirror her neighbor's request.

887
01:29:50,870 --> 01:29:55,610
And the other thing we did is I promised them that we would not show the Bishop Drive

888
01:29:55,610 --> 01:29:56,070
connection.

889
01:29:56,070 --> 01:29:59,950
And that I would stand before you one day in the future and pound it up.

890
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:10,420
And try to convince you to accommodate their requests by not having that connection made from a vehicular standpoint.

891
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:17,880
Understanding full well that everything Mr. Bartlett said, with respect to the policy, is well-reasoned.

892
01:30:22,700 --> 01:30:27,940
So I want to go through that in a little bit more detail, as far as what the code requirements say.

893
01:30:28,820 --> 01:30:35,740
And again, acknowledge staff recommendation, again, this is not me versus them.

894
01:30:36,440 --> 01:30:43,800
It's reasoned it's based in policy considerations, but we do not believe it's needed.

895
01:30:44,460 --> 01:30:47,820
Nor is it in the immediate communities interests.

896
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:56,740
We believe that you, as a planning board, have the final authority to exercise discretion in this case on a case-by-case basis.

897
01:30:56,740 --> 01:31:03,840
And in support of that app of the applicant's efforts with the community, we will ask you again at this hearing.

898
01:31:04,060 --> 01:31:07,820
So please exercise that discretion.

899
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:15,840
And recommend excuse me, approve this preliminary plan as recommended by staff, but it's not a five by applicant's exhibit one.

900
01:31:21,480 --> 01:31:30,360
The vehicle of connectivity, despite staff recommendation and presentation today, is not mandated absolutely in the care group.

901
01:31:32,670 --> 01:31:39,170
Section 27, that's 626H1, which decided by staff, it's in their staff report of the zoning ordinance.

902
01:31:39,950 --> 01:31:44,750
Stays, that streets shall be arranged to provide continuation into a zoning lanes, quote,

903
01:31:45,550 --> 01:31:47,710
where it is deemed appropriate, closed book.

904
01:31:48,330 --> 01:31:52,530
That was conveniently omitted from Mr. Barrett's presentation, but it's in there.

905
01:31:53,010 --> 01:31:54,190
Where it is deemed appropriate.

906
01:31:54,770 --> 01:31:57,070
That phrase is not mandatory.

907
01:31:57,850 --> 01:32:02,950
It's not mandatory language, it expressly requires a plenty of words to make a judgment call.

908
01:32:03,610 --> 01:32:08,870
Section 27626I provides that streets should be extended to provide access,

909
01:32:09,490 --> 01:32:12,850
quote, to the maximum, extant, practicable, closed quote.

910
01:32:13,930 --> 01:32:16,690
Practicable is also a discretionary standard.

911
01:32:17,190 --> 01:32:26,270
It necessarily allows the board to consider one, whether the connection is

912
01:32:26,270 --> 01:32:29,870
and they were heard in Bax, and whether it meaningfully advances the public interest.

913
01:32:31,790 --> 01:32:39,010
Third, Section 27626E2C explicitly authorizes the planable to waive or modify a cross-access,

914
01:32:39,650 --> 01:32:44,330
where, quote, adequate vehicular access and circulation are provided without such connection,

915
01:32:44,750 --> 01:32:49,110
and the waive or will not adversely affect public safety or mobility.

916
01:32:50,270 --> 01:32:54,910
The traffic impact analysis demonstrates that adequate vehicular access exists via the Maryland

917
01:32:54,910 --> 01:32:57,110
in 2014 in Gentry Lane Access Points.

918
01:32:57,510 --> 01:32:59,450
Emerging the access is accommodated.

919
01:33:00,270 --> 01:33:03,250
The connectivity score exceeds the required thresholds,

920
01:33:03,290 --> 01:33:04,030
and no intersection,

921
01:33:04,030 --> 01:33:05,470
an extreme determination depends

922
01:33:05,470 --> 01:33:06,770
on the fish of your health extension.

923
01:33:08,650 --> 01:33:13,030
Finally, Section 24-421D requires that the street systems

924
01:33:13,030 --> 01:33:16,110
create a functional, easy, understandable network.

925
01:33:16,490 --> 01:33:18,810
We believe that the street network does not.

926
01:33:19,250 --> 01:33:22,990
That section also cites back to 27606 E2C,

927
01:33:22,990 --> 01:33:27,050
which is the waiver provisions, to allow the board to flexibility to modify.

928
01:33:29,530 --> 01:33:35,270
Staff was correct in the sense of the policy reasons, and again, the reasoning is sound.

929
01:33:35,450 --> 01:33:39,510
I don't debate it, but I'm not going to proceed because I made a promise.

930
01:33:39,510 --> 01:33:48,090
So, I stand before you to respectfully request that you and the brewery exercise your discretion,

931
01:33:48,790 --> 01:33:54,790
as recommended by staffs exhibit, and approve this application without the bishop drive extension.

932
01:33:56,710 --> 01:34:00,870
The code sections, as staff indicated in the presentation this morning, said,

933
01:34:00,910 --> 01:34:03,610
that the sections are intended to ensure these connectivities.

934
01:34:03,610 --> 01:34:09,530
I don't have to think that, but it also gives you the ability and the authority to

935
01:34:09,530 --> 01:34:14,150
deviate from that basic point of your discretion that the code gave you, and that's what

936
01:34:14,150 --> 01:34:15,810
we're asking you to do today.

937
01:34:19,300 --> 01:34:24,860
The bill consensus, and so staff doesn't hate me after this hearing, part of the information

938
01:34:24,860 --> 01:34:33,820
that we provided in our written testimony, was a potential concession to bill consensus

939
01:34:35,220 --> 01:34:41,480
to further implement multi-modal access and circulation for the board to consider

940
01:34:41,480 --> 01:34:45,400
possibly a pedestrian connection and not a vehicle connection. They would

941
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:49,220
accomplish all the things that the vehicle connection would do without the

942
01:34:49,220 --> 01:34:52,920
negative impacts of vehicle connection would do that in this bishop. I believe it's

943
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:56,780
here today to test the final. And I do want to thank if I didn't already. I want to

944
01:34:56,780 --> 01:34:59,940
and especially her neighbors, Miss Carter, Mr.

945
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:07,280
Groundman and others who took time many, many times to meet with us, to go over this and to present

946
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:13,990
their letters in support of what I'm here trying to advocate for. If pedestrians in

947
01:35:13,990 --> 01:35:20,970
action would enhance walkability, it would connect to transit along the peppermint road. They provide

948
01:35:20,970 --> 01:35:26,450
safe routes to nearby schools and avoids introducing vehicle or caught through traffic and to an

949
01:35:26,450 --> 01:35:29,050
for residential neighborhood, but as the board

950
01:35:29,050 --> 01:35:30,830
to consider that as a touch of documents.

951
01:35:33,570 --> 01:35:37,610
Your role as repeated before is discretionary.

952
01:35:38,610 --> 01:35:43,190
27-626H1, H1, where deemed appropriate.

953
01:35:44,330 --> 01:35:46,710
626I to the maximum centipractical.

954
01:35:48,450 --> 01:35:50,770
626H2, waivers and modifications.

955
01:35:51,950 --> 01:35:54,890
This makes clear that you are empowered and expected

956
01:35:54,890 --> 01:35:58,030
on a case-by-case basis to exercise that judgment.

957
01:35:58,810 --> 01:36:01,290
Advocacy is satisfied, safety is preserved,

958
01:36:01,670 --> 01:36:03,870
and the community has been meaningfully engaged.

959
01:36:05,070 --> 01:36:06,690
And most of all, the pedestrian compromise

960
01:36:07,370 --> 01:36:11,590
can be imposed as a compromise.

961
01:36:12,850 --> 01:36:14,410
The code authorized is usually approved

962
01:36:14,410 --> 01:36:15,990
if we're playing with Aberquan in the vehicle,

963
01:36:16,350 --> 01:36:17,350
or if it's in a different way.

964
01:36:19,980 --> 01:36:22,360
This matters because the bourgeois is not

965
01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:24,260
to apply policy mechanically.

966
01:36:24,260 --> 01:36:30,920
It's the way the transportation on needs, communities, impact, environmental stewardship,

967
01:36:31,540 --> 01:36:33,400
adequate standards, public interest.

968
01:36:34,140 --> 01:36:40,440
In this case, the VISTA traffic sense which just redistribute traffic will unnecessarily

969
01:36:40,440 --> 01:36:41,800
encourage cut-through traffic.

970
01:36:42,980 --> 01:36:47,460
The project needs every object of objective, adequacy standard, notwithstanding.

971
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:52,120
The connection is not required for safety or performance, and the community has been

972
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:55,700
engaged, a compromised pedestrian solution is offered,

973
01:36:57,840 --> 01:36:59,400
that can be, that can also protect

974
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:00,740
these existing neighborhoods.

975
01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:05,140
It can guarantee that discretion, again, is that your exit slides will.

976
01:37:05,620 --> 01:37:10,560
If losing Mr. Chairman, orders to end comments is a $20 million dollar or more private

977
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:13,460
investment in a part of the county that is long never-do.

978
01:37:14,340 --> 01:37:15,400
It's concept-sensitive.

979
01:37:16,800 --> 01:37:18,640
It's an info project inside the boatway.

980
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:20,240
It's environmentally responsible.

981
01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:26,480
fully adequate under the county laws and the product of genuine community collaboration.

982
01:37:27,480 --> 01:37:32,520
The only issue is whether discretionary, vehicular extension, not required for adequacy,

983
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:36,580
should override community supported design and vegetable compliance.

984
01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:39,400
We respectfully submit that it should not.

985
01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:43,560
We would ask that the preliminary claim of subversion be approved as recommended by staff

986
01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:49,200
as modified by applicants exhibit one which we thank you for your reading ahead of time

987
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:54,520
for you to have consideration. With that Mr. Chairman, I think Mr. Young is signed up. She did

988
01:37:54,520 --> 01:38:00,180
indicate to me this morning she would like to be heard. I will submit there and then respond

989
01:38:00,180 --> 01:38:05,550
and closing once again. Mr. Young has the chance to address you. This is a great job.

990
01:38:12,050 --> 01:38:20,570
Chair, the Lisa Colvin Senior Council, I just want to quote a record quote, what,

991
01:38:20,570 --> 01:38:27,350
in 1762, O6H1, actually says in the read-in to entirety, said the board.

992
01:38:27,570 --> 01:38:28,170
There it is.

993
01:38:29,030 --> 01:38:34,310
That bold pose says there are an instrument of streets in a single family residential

994
01:38:34,310 --> 01:38:35,210
set position.

995
01:38:35,710 --> 01:38:41,230
So, provide for the alignment and continuation of existing or proposed streets into

996
01:38:41,230 --> 01:38:42,450
joining lands.

997
01:38:42,810 --> 01:38:47,710
With a join in lands are undeveloped and deemed appropriate for future development.

998
01:38:47,710 --> 01:38:53,990
or are developed and include opportunities for such connections. So there was some language that

999
01:38:55,130 --> 01:39:00,590
it was inadvertently dropped from that, but we wanted to just make a clear subject you have

1000
01:39:00,590 --> 01:39:08,150
that information check. I'm sure it was inadvertent. Are there any questions for Mr. De Desco?

1001
01:39:08,690 --> 01:39:17,310
You know, our council was, that's what I was going to point out as well. In terms of, I disagree as a

1002
01:39:17,310 --> 01:39:22,810
I'd disagree that it's discretionary. I think the idea would, with, especially with an

1003
01:39:22,810 --> 01:39:29,730
zoning code on roads, is that to try to have continuity is important. And it makes more sense

1004
01:39:29,730 --> 01:39:37,250
in this particular case, especially given that you already have the development there. And I think

1005
01:39:37,250 --> 01:39:46,390
you need to have connecting streets. The idea of not is, is not our policy. And I disagree that I don't

1006
01:39:46,390 --> 01:39:50,630
think it's discretionary, especially in this case.

1007
01:39:51,050 --> 01:39:58,270
No, I believe that there is one that is signed up to just a matter of this.

1008
01:40:47,210 --> 01:40:54,050
We had no problem with the development. We just don't want to treat open.

1009
01:40:54,050 --> 01:40:59,030
True. You don't know what, you must, what am I going to say?

1010
01:40:59,730 --> 01:41:02,670
No, thanks. We don't want to help. We just don't want to treat all.

1011
01:41:04,930 --> 01:41:10,550
We have lived there. It's peaceful. The street is not that big as it is.

1012
01:41:11,090 --> 01:41:15,270
We don't want all that extra traffic. We live there.

1013
01:41:15,670 --> 01:41:17,570
And please don't harm me.

1014
01:41:18,290 --> 01:41:18,470
Okay.

1015
01:41:19,290 --> 01:41:21,850
Do you have any questions for me, sir?

1016
01:41:22,990 --> 01:41:23,370
I'm not.

1017
01:41:23,570 --> 01:41:24,430
Thank you so much.

1018
01:41:24,690 --> 01:41:24,910
Thank you.

1019
01:41:25,290 --> 01:41:25,350
Thank you.

1020
01:41:26,270 --> 01:41:27,110
Mr. Dasker.

1021
01:41:31,140 --> 01:41:31,980
Thank you.

1022
01:41:32,060 --> 01:41:32,580
Mr. Sloan.

1023
01:41:32,900 --> 01:41:33,340
Mr. Carter.

1024
01:41:33,500 --> 01:41:33,900
Mr. Cameron.

1025
01:41:35,660 --> 01:41:36,140
Mr. Brown.

1026
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:37,020
Anything for you there.

1027
01:41:37,220 --> 01:41:37,760
We would submit.

1028
01:41:38,440 --> 01:41:39,040
It's been presented.

1029
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:40,440
If there aren't any questions.

1030
01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:41,180
We're going to again.

1031
01:41:41,180 --> 01:41:41,560
Mr. Dasker.

1032
01:41:42,380 --> 01:41:42,800
Mr. Dasker.

1033
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:44,380
Thank you.

1034
01:41:47,700 --> 01:41:48,180
Mr. Brown.

1035
01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:49,380
Mr. Brown.

1036
01:41:49,380 --> 01:41:49,580
Mr. Brown.

1037
01:41:50,220 --> 01:41:50,520
Mr. Brown.

1038
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:56,520
Mr. Chair, move that we adopt the findings and recommendations of staff as detailed and

1039
01:41:56,520 --> 01:42:04,920
staff report and approve PPS2025-002 preliminary plan of subdivision corner storm

1040
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:14,560
comments and type one tree conservation plan and TCP1-2025-003 through a variation from section

1041
01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:24,340
24, 4, 1, 0, 2, C, 1, and variants to section 25, 1, 2, B, 1, G for the removal of

1042
01:42:24,340 --> 01:42:29,500
the specimen trees, subject obviously to the conditions and recommendations of staff.

1043
01:42:30,340 --> 01:42:39,180
And just to hear one thing that I noticed in reading the staff report was the fact that

1044
01:42:39,180 --> 01:42:47,610
that gives it another access point off of central avenue.

1045
01:42:48,090 --> 01:42:50,890
So that all the traffic is not coming out through that one.

1046
01:42:51,130 --> 01:42:53,270
That's helpful, the other is as well,

1047
01:42:53,470 --> 01:42:57,490
is that we have children can now access

1048
01:42:57,490 --> 01:42:59,290
without having to walk on the street,

1049
01:42:59,550 --> 01:43:01,490
on central avenue to go to the school.

1050
01:43:02,170 --> 01:43:07,930
But for that reason, I'll support the staff's recommendations.

1051
01:43:08,950 --> 01:43:09,990
That's the second question.

1052
01:43:09,990 --> 01:43:11,050
at Spring Propagly.

1053
01:43:11,250 --> 01:43:13,090
Moving in the second, I will now call the roll by

1054
01:43:13,090 --> 01:43:13,670
chair, the roll.

1055
01:43:14,650 --> 01:43:15,150
I'm sorry.

1056
01:43:17,190 --> 01:43:18,850
Thank you so much.

1057
01:43:19,290 --> 01:43:22,910
We will now move onto the next and then item item number nine county

1058
01:43:22,910 --> 01:43:24,250
via planning division.

1059
01:43:26,050 --> 01:43:33,670
MRMF-H025-H010 Liberty Sports Park phase 2 parking lot expansion.

1060
01:43:34,010 --> 01:43:35,510
We will now hear from Mr. Ryan.

1061
01:44:10,640 --> 01:44:12,900
I'm Ann Barnes and members of the board for the record.

1062
01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:15,540
This is Benjamin Ryan with special project section.

1063
01:44:15,780 --> 01:44:24,120
Before the board today is mandatory referral MRF-2025-010 Liberty Sports Park phase 2 parking

1064
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:30,360
up. This project proposes to construct a parking facility with one thousand and six new spaces

1065
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:36,620
to support the existing Prince George's County Liberty Sports Park. The Liberty Sports Park

1066
01:44:36,620 --> 01:44:41,220
has become one of the pre-eminent multi-purpose sports facilities in Prince George's County.

1067
01:44:41,700 --> 01:44:47,820
It is a multi-purpose facility for sports and education consisting of 10 athletic fields with

1068
01:44:48,740 --> 01:44:53,800
Project proposals 1,6 new spaces to support the sports park.

1069
01:44:54,480 --> 01:44:59,720
The proposed parking associated with this application ensures that neither of the existing industrial

1070
01:44:59,720 --> 01:44:59,900
Thank you.

1071
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:09,520
Start to the south, nor the south lake residential and commercial development to the north, would be adversely impacted, while events are being held at the sports park.

1072
01:45:10,380 --> 01:45:19,120
Project also proposes improved bicycle and pedestrian features, including a crosswalk crossing French Georgia's Boulevard, sidewalks and bicycle parking.

1073
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:23,920
Can we move to slide 14, please, staff recommendations?

1074
01:45:29,570 --> 01:45:49,210
Staff are also recommending 5% of spaces be reserved for electric vehicle charging stations, as well as continued coordination with the Prince George's County Department of Public Works and Transportation regarding future road improvements.

1075
01:45:49,210 --> 01:45:50,590
Next slide, please.

1076
01:45:54,260 --> 01:45:59,840
Lastly, staff recommendations also include providing additional bicycle parking, formalizing

1077
01:45:59,840 --> 01:46:04,900
the maintenance of traffic plan, widening the proposed shared use path along the site's

1078
01:46:04,900 --> 01:46:09,560
frontage, and providing a street light or other means to highlight the pedestrian crossing

1079
01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:12,920
of printstorges Boulevard, and this concludes staff presentation.

1080
01:46:13,620 --> 01:46:15,540
Are there any questions from staff?

1081
01:46:15,960 --> 01:46:16,320
I don't know.

1082
01:46:16,320 --> 01:46:16,480
I don't know.

1083
01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:17,860
I don't know.

1084
01:46:17,860 --> 01:46:17,940
Okay.

1085
01:46:18,540 --> 01:46:19,180
See you now.

1086
01:46:21,120 --> 01:46:23,220
Mr. Hurr.

1087
01:46:23,220 --> 01:46:24,600
I've got a few instances.

1088
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:26,200
Kevin Kennedy from the Michael companies.

1089
01:46:27,100 --> 01:46:32,440
We're an advisor to Green Branch Sports Management, which is the LSE and Operator of Liberty Sports Park.

1090
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:33,980
You don't want to take too much of your time.

1091
01:46:34,060 --> 01:46:42,320
We just wanted to thank the staff for their efforts and say that the applicant is generally in agreement with their findings and recommendations and we look forward to continuing to work with you all.

1092
01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:43,720
There are any questions.

1093
01:46:44,300 --> 01:46:45,400
You support the recommendations.

1094
01:46:46,980 --> 01:46:48,340
Is there a motion?

1095
01:46:50,370 --> 01:46:51,630
We have to go in.

1096
01:46:52,530 --> 01:46:54,170
That we move.

1097
01:46:54,490 --> 01:46:54,990
Okay.

1098
01:46:55,230 --> 01:47:01,790
Move the adoption of the recommendations and findings of staff for MRF 2025 to 0 0 1.

1099
01:47:02,770 --> 01:47:03,450
A second vote.

1100
01:47:03,730 --> 01:47:04,870
It's not like moving a second.

1101
01:47:04,990 --> 01:47:06,790
I would now follow the road by the chair of the road.

1102
01:47:07,070 --> 01:47:07,530
It's a vote aye.

1103
01:47:07,830 --> 01:47:08,990
Commissioner for you.

1104
01:47:09,410 --> 01:47:10,390
I vote aye.

1105
01:47:10,490 --> 01:47:11,290
Thank you, guys.

1106
01:47:11,410 --> 01:47:11,990
So much.

1107
01:47:11,990 --> 01:47:14,450
That concludes all items on today's agenda.

1108
01:47:15,870 --> 01:47:17,890
We'd like to thank staff for all the hard work.

1109
01:47:18,090 --> 01:47:21,870
It's time is down, we're 11.37, meeting the manager.

1110
01:47:22,170 --> 01:47:22,690
We'll be late.
