[0:05] >> Good morning.

[0:08] The time is Now 9:30.

[0:18] Today is August 28th, 2026.

[0:22] My name is --

[0:39] I would like to remind everyone that this is a virtual meeting.

[0:43] Please keep your microphone muted when you're not speaking.

[0:45] Please be aware that this meeting is being recorded

[0:49] and the recording will be available on our website

[0:51] for review after the meeting.

[0:53] And I want to share with you that today

[0:57] is my last day serving as SDRC Chair starting next week.

[1:05] Monk will be taking over.

[1:08] It's been a great experience sharing this --

[1:15] chairing this meeting.

[1:16] And I really appreciate everyone support and cooperation

[1:19] during My time as SDRC Chair.

[1:23] And I'm sure monk will do a great job.

[1:27] Today's agenda includes only one case.

[1:28] We have only one case.

[1:39] Preliminary plan for subdivision.

[1:42] And this case.

[1:45] You can start your presentation.

[1:48] >> Before I begin may I ask if the applicant and their team are

[1:53] present today?

[1:56] >> Hi, Hannah.

[1:58] This is Eddie Diaz Campbell.

[2:01] I'm here along with Esco from Elite Engineering.

[2:04] >> I will get started with a brief introduction and then I

[2:07] will move on to comments.

[2:08] This case is minor preliminary plan

[2:10] Of subdivision, PPS-2025-007 Titled Loring addition

[2:22] to high bridge.

[2:27] The project is located on the north side of Wood Edge Drive,

[2:34] approximately 250ft east of its intersection with Highbridge

[2:37] Road.

[2:38] The applicant is proposing four residential lots, one parcel

[2:41] and one Outlot.

[2:42] It consists of 4.57 acres of land.

[2:45] This property is located within the residential rural zone

[2:48] under the current zoning order, which

[2:51] is also known as the RR zone.

[2:55] There was a subdivision done by deed and book 51868 page 505

[3:01] in November of 2025, and Division of land unless exempt

[3:06] under certain circumstances requires the approval of a PS

[3:09] and a final plot per section 24.1.401 of the subdivision

[3:15] regulations.

[3:16] This division did not meet any of the allowed exceptions

[3:19] in section 24-1404.

[3:22] This preliminary plan is subject to the adequacy standards

[3:24] of the current subdivision regulations,

[3:28] requiring the approval of a Certificate of Adequacy, or ADQ,

[3:33] which has been assigned To case number ADQ 2025-016.

[3:42] The applicant submitted a request for variance to section

[3:51] 25-122-B1G to allow the removal of five specimen trees.

[3:56] With that introduction I would like

[3:58] to get started with staff comments

[4:00] beginning with transportation.

[4:05] >> Good morning.

[4:06] This is Noel Smith speaking.

[4:10] First, Although the right of way is shown on the planning sheet,

[4:16] if we could also get that alignment

[4:17] shown along the frontage of the property.

[4:23] And two, just ensure that the sidewalk will be Ada compliant

[4:28] and there are ADA compliants.

[4:41] In a subsequent applications to ensure that

[4:45] the driveway meets the code requirements.

[4:46] That is it for me.

[4:49] >> Department of Parks and Rec.

[5:00] I will come back.

[5:02] Special projects.

[5:10] Environmental planning.

[5:15] >> Good morning.

[5:16] This is Christian Muhly with the environmental Planning section.

[5:20] The project will have a companion type one tree

[5:25] conservation plan.

[5:26] As you mentioned, we have the variance request

[5:29] for the specimen tree removal.

[5:31] As part of the new notification requirements for subtitle 25

[5:36] we will need mailings done to notify for the tree conservation

[5:41] plan.

[5:42] So we will need an affidavit of those mailings and a sample

[5:46] letter.

[5:47] We have some technical corrections on the TCP one.

[5:56] The one we wanted to bring up here

[5:57] is that there are woodlands proposed to be

[5:59] retained on lots 2, 3 and 4.

[6:05] But woodlands retained on lots less than one acre

[6:08] have to be counted as cleared and shown in the worksheet as

[6:14] cleared.

[6:15] The plan will need to be revised to recalculate

[6:18] the woodland conservation requirements.

[6:20] Those are our environmental comments.

[6:22] There are no geotechnical comments at this time.

[6:27] >> Thank you.

[6:28] Moving on to historic preservation.

[6:31] >> Good morning.

[6:33] Jennifer Stabler with the historic Preservation section.

[6:36] There are no historic sites or resources located on or adjacent

[6:39] to the property.

[6:40] Through the pre-application process,

[6:42] staff had asked for an archeological survey

[6:44] to be done on the property, which

[6:46] the applicant has completed.

[6:48] We have reviewed the report.

[6:50] There were a few prehistoric artifacts

[6:52] that were found on the property, but it wasn't

[6:54] enough to constitute a site.

[6:56] We are now going to ask for any further work.

[6:59] There are no historic preservation

[7:00] or archeology issues.

[7:04] >> Thank you.

[7:05] Community planning.

[7:09] >> Hi.

[7:11] I am Owen from Community Planning Division.

[7:16] The subject property is in the 2022 improved booth

[7:19] Mitchellville and Senate Master Plan.

[7:22] This master plan recommends residential low land use

[7:28] for this site which is defined as residential areas

[7:31] up to 3.5 and eight dwelling units per acre.

[7:34] Single family detached dwellings,

[7:36] and the master plan also recommends

[7:39] and recommendations related to transportation and environment,

[7:42] and include these in our recommendations,

[7:45] including ecological connectivity and the site

[7:47] and adding sidewalks along Woodridge Drive frontage.

[7:50] Both of these issues are already tabled in the application.

[7:54] The details of our recommendations are in our memo.

[7:57] We have no major issues with this application.

[8:02] >> Thank you.

[8:05] Urban Design.

[8:07] >> Good morning.

[8:08] This is Dexter Kolbert with urban Design.

[8:11] We have no major issues.

[8:13] We wanted to note that a detailed site plan will be

[8:16] required per section 27-3605A1.

[8:26] >> I'll go back to Parks and Recreation.

[8:29] >> Good morning.

[8:31] This is Ivy Thompson with parks.

[8:35] The property is subject to 24407 and 24601 mandatory dedication

[8:48] of parkland.

[8:49] EPR will recommend CMU for this minor subdivision.

[8:53] >> Let's try special projects one last time.

[9:05] >> This is Tom..

[9:06] I'll have a follow up on this.

[9:11] >> Thank you.

[9:12] That concludes comments that are internal to MNCPPC.

[9:19] Now I'll move on to comments from external agencies

[9:23] starting with DP.

[9:26] >> Good morning everyone.

[9:30] We have a case under review.

[9:33] And we would provide comments, but at this moment

[9:39] my question is--

[9:41] I thought this was an application for three lots

[9:45] because they already contain all the four-- the last slide is

[9:54] shown as an existing.

[9:57] So we'll regard our comments and send back to you.

[10:04] I'll give it to my colleague in case he has any traffic issues.

[10:10] >> Good morning.

[10:13] No comments.

[10:15] Thank you.

[10:16] >> I did want to ask if any additional right of way

[10:20] dedication is going to be required per the site

[10:22] development approval letter that was provided.

[10:27] Marwan.

[10:30] >> Again, we will clarify that one too in our response.

[10:38] >> Thank you.

[10:40] All right, moving on to DPW and T. Health Department?

[10:56] >> I just received the plans today.

[10:58] I will be giving you a write up later on today.

[11:03] >> Thank you.

[11:05] Moving on to fire department.

[11:12] State highway.

[11:22] WSSC.

[11:29] Any utility companies?

[11:37] Soil conservation district?

[11:44] And the city of Bowie.

[11:55] That concludes all external agencies.

[11:59] I will now move on to comments from the subdivision section.

[12:04] This PPS layout does not provide vehicular access to parcel A per

[12:09] section 24-4204 and adjustments will need to be made to lots one

[12:17] through four to provide sufficient access.

[12:19] Please show how the required active space is being provided

[12:22] on the open space site exhibit.

[12:25] Combine the Outlot and parcel A into a single parcel

[12:30] and show that it will be conveyed to the HOA.

[12:34] Please provide the net lot area and PM of lot one and two.

[12:39] Show the front building line setbacks for all lots

[12:43] to verify that sufficient buildable area is available.

[12:47] This information may be provided as a separate exhibit.

[12:50] Please label the existing right of way width from the road

[12:55] centerline to determine if additional dedication is

[12:57] going to be required.

[12:58] The W SSC invoice will need to be

[13:02] updated to show the application number.

[13:06] All applications will also need to be

[13:09] updated to include the Matthews as the property owners,

[13:13] as they are partial owners per the book 51868,

[13:18] page 505, as well as the consent letter

[13:22] will also need to be updated to add

[13:25] the Matthews as they are shown as partial owners

[13:28] of the property.

[13:28] And I will provide all technical comments

[13:30] on the plans, which will be provided In the SDRC summary

[13:38] package.

[13:39] All comments are included.

[13:41] Before I go to dates, are there any questions

[13:44] from the applicants team?

[13:48] >> Yes, This is with elite Engineering.

[13:52] A few things.

[13:55] From environmental division, Christian said that --

[14:07] that's not the case.

[14:10] All woodland preservation requirements are just

[14:12] on the hatch parcel.

[14:14] So they designated that woodland Preservation.

[14:24] No wooded area lots have been used to-- that's

[14:29] not the >> Sorry to interrupt.

[14:34] For the design criteria for the lots less than one acre,

[14:38] it has to be counted as cleared.

[14:40] Because I believe the areas right now

[14:42] are identified as Non-credited.

[14:43] I don't believe, and I'll double check,

[14:51] but I don't believe that the design criteria

[14:55] that Non-credited woodland can be identified

[14:58] on lots less than one acre.

[15:00] >> I understand-- but talking about woodland Areas

[15:11] (Indistinct).

[15:14] You can check this.

[15:23] >> I'm sorry to interrupt.

[15:25] We can discuss internally.

[15:30] >> I understand, but usually this meeting happened or did not

[15:35] happen.

[15:36] We don't have enough time to respond and within the deadline

[15:40] that you give to us.

[15:41] So I have another question.

[15:43] SDCP is already approved.

[15:48] So I don't know what's the question about that you're

[15:51] saying-- this is a four lot subdivision.

[15:55] One lot existing house that remains,

[15:58] plus additional three lots.

[16:01] SDCP has been submitted the review, the last thing

[16:06] of questions of a, I believe NRI has

[16:10] been approved as well with PMA and showing with NRI.

[16:14] That's all I have.

[16:16] We'll wait for that rest of comment.

[16:22] >> Any questions from anybody else?

[16:30] >> I just have a question for Dexter.

[16:33] What was that code section you said that would require the DSP?

[16:51] >> Was that 273605?

[17:00] >> Yes, it was.

[17:07] >> So not meeting any of the exemptions?

[17:10] >> You're developing more than one single family dwelling unit.

[17:20] >> Thank you.

[17:22] >> No problem.

[17:24] >> I will now move on to dates.

[17:25] Please note that all dates provided are tentative.

[17:28] The 70 day action limit is November 10th, 2026.

[17:32] I am requesting revised plans on September 4th, 2026.

[17:38] And for staff, please provide your final referrals to me

[17:43] by September 11th, 2026.

[17:45] And these dates as well as any written comments that I

[17:48] have received will be included in the summary package

[17:50] that I will email the applicant later

[17:52] today or no later than Monday.

[17:53] This concludes this agenda item.

[17:55] Thank you for attending.

[17:57] I will give it back to Masa.

[18:01] >> Thank you, Ana.

[18:03] Thank you, Eddie.
