[0:09] Leading the order

[0:12] for the Queen Annes County Planning Commission

[0:14] on July 9th, 2026.

[0:17] We'll start with the Pledge of Allegiance.

[0:19] I pledge allegiance to the flag

[0:22] in the United States of America and to the republic.

[0:25] She stands one nation under God, indivisible, liberty

[0:30] and justice for all

[0:36] public comments.

[0:40] We had no one signed up.

[0:41] Okay. Updates legislative and legal matters.

[0:51] Oh, you're right there. Sorry. Yeah, good morning.

[0:55] Move one over. Hmm. You wanna move one over?

[0:58] I'll just Scoot. That's it. Yeah.

[1:03] Good morning, Amy Mordoff, planning director.

[1:05] I have a few updates.

[1:08] As you know, we had a a long list

[1:10] of citizen sponsor text amendments.

[1:12] Three of them were approved on the 9th of June

[1:15] and will become effective on the 25th of July.

[1:19] Those were amendments to the airport,

[1:23] Kent Island Gateway District

[1:25] and the WVC had two text amendments.

[1:29] Those will become effective in July.

[1:32] As I said, two of them,

[1:37] 26 0 6, 26 0 5, 26 0 6 is the

[1:41] suburban commercial proposal

[1:44] to change the impervious surface limit from 45 to 80%.

[1:49] And then the proposal to alter the supplemental gas

[1:54] standards relative to the setback from an intersection

[1:57] and how you measure that setback.

[1:59] Those two text amendments

[2:02] had their public hearing on the 30th of June

[2:05] and are potentially up

[2:08] for a vote at the commissioner's next meeting,

[2:11] which is on the 14th of July.

[2:15] The other two text amendments

[2:17] that are still hanging out there are relative

[2:20] to the open space provisions, both in the TDR

[2:24] and NCD districts.

[2:28] Those projects have had a, they,

[2:33] those two text amendments had their public hearings on May,

[2:36] May 26th, and then on the 9th of June when they may have

[2:40] been voted upon, the commissioners were considerate

[2:44] of comments that were received relative

[2:47] to maybe narrowing down non-agricultural uses

[2:52] that are permissible in open space specific to

[2:57] projects that have been subject to the,

[3:00] the lot line adjustment as proposed.

[3:03] So the commissioners requested that staff

[3:08] put forward an amendment for their consideration.

[3:11] So they are going to introduce an amendment

[3:15] that is substantive enough

[3:17] because we are looking to change what is permissible

[3:22] in the open space.

[3:25] So at their next meeting, which is the 14th of July meeting,

[3:29] that amendment to the two amendments,

[3:32] which is really one amendment which will apply to both

[3:35] because the open space provisions are in one table.

[3:40] So the TTDR

[3:41] and NCD provisions are sit in the same place in terms of

[3:45] what is permissible in open space.

[3:47] So that amendment will be presented

[3:50] and introduced at the 14th of July meeting,

[3:52] and we'll come back to you for recommendation.

[3:55] So that one's taking a little

[3:57] longer to go through the process.

[3:59] In terms of general updates, just to let you know,

[4:04] I had mentioned to you the Turning Point Energy case,

[4:08] which is three co-located community solar projects

[4:14] that total almost 10 megawatts

[4:17] and is cited in the town of Centerville's growth area.

[4:22] I had mentioned that we were going to intervene in that case

[4:25] and Lindsey on our behalf filed that petition

[4:29] to Intervene, which was entered into the

[4:32] record on the 8th of June.

[4:34] And we are just continuing to participate

[4:37] in the public utility law judge

[4:40] and the Public Service Commission's

[4:42] consideration of that case.

[4:44] There are several dates that are relative

[4:47] to submitting testament testimony and briefs

[4:51] and Lindsay's just been keeping up with that.

[4:54] And we will be making comments

[4:56] and going on the record as appropriate to represent

[5:00] what we feel is the correct interpretation of our code

[5:03] and the state's renewable energy provisions.

[5:08] Additionally, we had

[5:13] canceled our August meeting for the Mako Conference.

[5:16] There was a thought

[5:17] that we might hold a special meeting in August if we had any

[5:21] items for the agenda, but we do not.

[5:23] So our next meeting will be on the,

[5:27] on the seventh in s September.

[5:30] I was trying to get the date, but, so no August, okay.

[5:32] Hmm, no August, no August.

[5:34] But at the Mako Conference, which is the 12th

[5:36] through the 15th of August, just to let you know that

[5:41] I'll be representing the county on a panel

[5:44] that is discussing building the bigger picture,

[5:48] and that is the county's,

[5:50] I'll be the county voice on a panel discussing a lot

[5:53] of the state provisions that impact development

[5:57] and how the county can leverage some of its resources

[6:01] and its own zoning to maximize some

[6:05] of the positive aspects of that partnership.

[6:09] As we've seen a lot of legislation

[6:11] that impacts our local zoning codes.

[6:14] Additionally, the Maker,

[6:16] the Mako Planners affiliate will hold a work session

[6:19] and I'll be chairing that session as the president

[6:22] of the Planners affiliate for Mako.

[6:25] That it, That's everything.

[6:27] Miscellaneous staff items,

[6:28] Those were my miscellaneous items.

[6:30] Okay.

[6:31] Alright. Major project. Thank you.

[6:37] Thank you. Reliable Development Company.

[6:43] Steve? Yes,

[7:01] Good morning.

[7:02] I'm Steve Johnson, senior Planner with planning and zoning.

[7:04] It's good to see everybody again.

[7:06] I want to thank Rob for filling in for me last month.

[7:08] I hope he didn't give you too much of trouble

[7:13] as stated by the the chair.

[7:14] We are here to discuss SP 26 dash oh two dash 0 1 72

[7:20] for Reliable Development Company LLC, who is proposing

[7:23] to construct a 40,040 square foot building for the design

[7:26] and fabrication of specialty vehicles

[7:28] and is requesting major site plan approval.

[7:32] This project did receive concept plan approval

[7:34] in December of last year.

[7:37] What you're about to see is essentially the same as

[7:39] what was presented then.

[7:42] Project's located in Stevensville south of Route 50

[7:44] and East Pier One Road behind the target.

[7:48] More specifically tax map 56 parcel 20 lot 1 0 9 totals

[7:52] 4.411 acres

[7:54] and is located off of Ellendale Farm Lane in Stevensville.

[7:57] The target is the large white building you see

[8:00] at the center of your screen there.

[8:02] And as you can see by the area,

[8:03] the property is currently utilized for agricultural use

[8:08] Property zoned urban commercial

[8:09] and is located within the Chester Stevensville growth area.

[8:12] It's also located in the priority funding area,

[8:14] which is not shown on the screen.

[8:19] Property's partially located within the RCA

[8:21] designation of the critical area.

[8:22] This is the dark green sliver property

[8:24] on the east side there.

[8:26] That area is subject to an easement that limits use

[8:28] to passive recreation planting

[8:30] and landscape landscaping associated,

[8:32] not associated with the proposal.

[8:35] No part of this proposal encroaches upon

[8:37] that area as required.

[8:40] All chapter 18 landscape requirements are met

[8:42] with this proposal that includes on onsite parking lot,

[8:45] street buffer and screening plantings.

[8:48] There are 0.189 acres of non-Title wetlands

[8:51] and 0.52 acres of the associated buffer buffer on site.

[8:55] These are the bright green areas

[8:56] at the center of your screen.

[8:58] The applicant is proposing to disturb 0.188 acres

[9:02] of wetlands and 0.435 acres of buffer.

[9:05] This disturbance has been authorized by MDE

[9:07] and a copy of that authorization

[9:09] was included in your packets.

[9:11] There are 0.40 acres of woodlands on site

[9:14] of which the applicant is proposing to clear 0.15 acres

[9:17] that is delineated on your screen

[9:19] as the hatch brown and white area.

[9:22] Forest conservation has been addressed

[9:24] with the original subdivision

[9:25] and there are no steep slope streams, erosion hazard areas,

[9:28] endangered species or areas

[9:29] of a hundred year floodplain on site light.

[9:34] Here's a look at the site plan.

[9:36] Access is taken off

[9:37] of Thompson Creek Road shown

[9:38] circled in yellow on your screen.

[9:41] All uc, district non-residential development standards are

[9:44] met with this proposal including floor area

[9:46] and imper area, which are both well

[9:47] below the maximum permitted all chapter 18 parking

[9:52] requirements met with this proposal and stormwater will be

[9:56] provided on site and has been reviewed and approved by DPW.

[9:59] Should you have any questions

[10:00] regarding the stormwater on site there

[10:02] as a representative from DPW here

[10:04] to answer any questions you may have.

[10:09] Property will be served by public water and sewer

[10:11] and the project meets the requirements

[10:13] of the adequate public facilities ordinance.

[10:15] A copy of the A PFO approval letter was included

[10:18] in your packets as well.

[10:20] There is a overhead flight easement that runs

[10:22] through this property, which restricts structures

[10:24] and plantings to a maximum height of 35 feet.

[10:27] This proposed development will comply with that restriction

[10:30] as the building is proposed to be 34.8 feet in height

[10:33] and all plantings will be kept below 35 feet.

[10:37] It should be noted that the airport manager does support

[10:40] conditional approval of the project subject

[10:42] to the conditions that were included.

[10:43] It's in the staff report.

[10:47] There are road improvements

[10:49] proposed as part of this development.

[10:50] They include milling, resurfacing, res striping,

[10:53] and minor widening along the south

[10:55] side of Thompson Creek Road.

[10:56] There in the dark dark ray that you see on your screen,

[10:58] that is to supply a full width shoulder and curb.

[11:05] During concept plan review,

[11:06] the planning commission had concerns with truck turning

[11:11] movements in and out of this site.

[11:13] To address that, the applicant has developed a truck turning

[11:15] exhibit that was included in your packets.

[11:17] This is a snippet from that.

[11:19] This is the inbound traffic coming into the site.

[11:22] The trucks are shown as light blue

[11:24] and the paths they take are shown as purple on your screens.

[11:30] And this is what outbound turning movements may look like.

[11:33] It's my understanding that the applicant has brought

[11:35] their traffic engineer here.

[11:36] So if you have any questions,

[11:37] they should be able to address those.

[11:41] Here's a look at the renderings of the building.

[11:43] This is looking towards the south.

[11:45] This is the entrance of the front of the building.

[11:48] This is looking towards the northeast shows, the west side

[11:52] and the rear of the building.

[11:55] This is looking towards the northwest,

[11:57] which is the east side of the building in the rear again,

[12:01] and this is looking towards the southwest.

[12:04] With that, before I turn it over to the applicant,

[12:07] I do want to thank them.

[12:08] They were a very good partner in this review,

[12:12] the app, both the applicant

[12:14] and the engineer worked really well with us and,

[12:17] and I, I wanted to give him a compliment for that.

[12:28] Good morning. Good morning.

[12:30] My name is Tim Glass Land Engineering

[12:33] and to my far right is John Brians with Tech Ops.

[12:36] Remember seeing him before and

[12:38] to my immediate right is Dorsey Schultz

[12:40] with reliable real estate Development.

[12:43] Mark Keeley, as Steve mentioned, is also behind me

[12:45] with traffic concepts

[12:47] and Genevieve McFarlane is also here as well.

[12:51] Thank you Steve. That was pretty comprehensive on

[12:54] what we could or discuss any further.

[12:58] I will just simply mention to you that with regards to

[13:03] the SHA approval

[13:04] and access we have, we've checked all the boxes there.

[13:07] Essentially where we're at right now is submitting

[13:09] for final bond estimates for surety

[13:11] and submitting the app, actual application.

[13:14] I mean, we're through that, that process with them.

[13:16] And also I think Steve just mentioned that we have the

[13:20] MDE letter of authorization for the little bit

[13:23] of non-Title wetland buffer

[13:24] permits that we'll need for this.

[13:25] That's ha that has been issued.

[13:29] Quick note on drainage

[13:30] and stormwater management, just the site's been designed to,

[13:35] you know, meet the needs of really the site layout,

[13:37] what the, what the owner needs to have accomplished on

[13:39] that site that conduct his business effectively as well

[13:44] as circulation and stormwater drainage features.

[13:47] So we on site we have one microbio retention area,

[13:50] which is an ESD practice as required,

[13:52] and two submerge gravel wetlands to not only capture

[13:55] that runoff directly from all the impervious areas,

[13:58] but to store it, treat it, attenuate it,

[14:00] and reduce flows ultimately

[14:02] and total off of the site per requirements.

[14:04] So that in a nutshell is as a stormwater,

[14:07] it does provide more than required

[14:09] of the environmental site design volume, which is a volume

[14:13] of water that you have to capture, hold, treat, filter,

[14:15] and then treat before it's released.

[14:17] So we, we do comply with, with those requirements as well.

[14:22] And Steve mentioned also, I mean, we're prepared

[14:24] to essentially, you know, take care of any minor technical,

[14:28] there's a couple of minor comments we got from sanitary

[14:31] district about some notes and specs and pipe material

[14:33] and some things like that that's already listed in there

[14:36] in their standard details and, and construction criteria.

[14:41] But they wanted us to kind of dot the,

[14:44] i's cross the T's on the plans.

[14:46] There's a couple of minor technical

[14:47] notes we've gotta deal with there.

[14:49] And then we've got sureties

[14:50] and cost estimates that are, that are produced

[14:52] and prepared, ready to submit back to DPW

[14:54] so we can get the maintenance and inspection

[14:56] agreements recorded for stormwater.

[14:57] These are all kind of the finish line items that have

[14:59] to be done on all these commercial jobs Anyway, so we're,

[15:03] we're prepared to wrap all this up, close this out

[15:08] and help John get moving forward with

[15:10] what he intends to do with this site.

[15:13] And with that, I think, John,

[15:14] if you might wanna say a few words about, about the project,

[15:17] who you are and so forth, that'd be helpful.

[15:19] John Brianna, I'm the president at Tech Ops Specialty

[15:22] vehicles that have been there for nine and a half years.

[15:24] I'll let go. What, what Steve said.

[15:27] You know, I think working on a project like this in any

[15:30] county is, is difficult.

[15:31] And I think the amount of teamwork that's needed over time

[15:34] and, and it does take time, is important.

[15:38] And the county, both Steve

[15:40] and Rob have been great in coordinating with us.

[15:42] Numerous site visits, a lot of engagement about

[15:45] how we comply, but also, you know, kind

[15:48] of meet the needs of the business.

[15:49] And, and as we evolve,

[15:51] I'll mention just a couple things about the business itself,

[15:54] the physical location, the actual, you know, can, can island

[16:00] location itself and, and some

[16:01] of the people involved in the business.

[16:03] The best way to describe what we do,

[16:04] and I think most people know,

[16:05] but it's to just kind of like talk about some examples

[16:09] of projects that we do.

[16:10] We do a lot of work for the US government and a lot of state

[16:13] and local, a lot of Maryland centric work.

[16:17] Everybody kind of knows about FIFA World Cup

[16:19] and that the fact that that's going on the most

[16:23] of the first half of this year,

[16:24] our business was involved in designing

[16:26] and building three quarters of the vehicles

[16:29] that are being used at FIFA World Cup for a lot of the,

[16:31] the drone defense, nature

[16:33] and security aspects of what they're doing.

[16:36] That's, that's an example of it, right?

[16:38] It's trucks and trailers

[16:39] and they're being used to kind of track

[16:41] and mitigate threats from a security standpoint to,

[16:45] you know, high profile events,

[16:48] national level security events around the country.

[16:50] That's some of the work we do.

[16:52] Our biggest customers tend to fall within the US government.

[16:55] Homeland Security is a principal customer of ours.

[16:58] And, and the agencies, the,

[17:00] the departments within Secret Service,

[17:02] Homeland Security Investigations,

[17:04] federal Protective Service groups like that.

[17:08] The, so that's kind of a little bit of what we do.

[17:10] We have engineers, we have technicians,

[17:12] a lot of trades in the building.

[17:14] And then typical kind of front

[17:15] office administrative support.

[17:17] The physical location ends up being

[17:19] very important for the business.

[17:21] And I'll give it just a couple examples of it.

[17:23] One, in dealing with our customers, you know,

[17:25] the US government and kind of a lot of the, the management

[17:28] of projects like this tend

[17:29] to be headquartered outta the DC area.

[17:32] The ability for those customers to come to us physically

[17:35] think about building a house, right?

[17:37] You wanna sit down with an architect

[17:39] and look at the review, put your hands around it

[17:41] as the house is getting built, you want to visit it, see

[17:44] how it's going with the overall intent to,

[17:46] to serve the US government

[17:47] and give them what they need to do their job.

[17:51] The physical location facilitates a lot of that progress.

[17:56] So being close to the DC you know, metro area.

[17:58] In addition to that, we serve a lot of military groups.

[18:01] Aberdeen Proven Ground is a customer of ours,

[18:03] PAX River area, Webster outlying

[18:05] Field as a customer of ours.

[18:06] So some of the military installations

[18:08] around the Maryland area also facilitate

[18:11] just good business practice

[18:12] and the ability to host customers when needed and,

[18:17] and have them be a part of the project

[18:19] and get what they need ultimately to support their mission.

[18:24] The businesses has been growing.

[18:26] I've been there nine and a half years

[18:28] and we've, we've nearly grown every year I've been there.

[18:31] KRM has been an am an amazing host. They're great.

[18:35] The business park is in high demand

[18:38] and the facility itself wasn't necessarily set up for

[18:41] what we do as a business.

[18:43] You know, larger doors

[18:45] to bring vehicles in and out of the building.

[18:48] Efficient work that's associated with that.

[18:50] The, the height of the building, you know, inside in order

[18:52] to do some of the testing we do on some of the vehicles.

[18:56] It it, and it just wasn't set up for that.

[18:58] So they have a backlog of, of requirements.

[19:00] We've been able to scale and grow there recently,

[19:02] but the reality is, is we need to find a new home.

[19:05] And this headquarters, you know, is, is,

[19:09] is in support of that.

[19:11] In addition, there's sensitive nature in some of what we do.

[19:14] So the ability to secure vehicles on our lot,

[19:16] not have it be such an open area, things like

[19:18] that end up facilitating what we do.

[19:20] And also allow us to consider more confidential work

[19:23] with the, for the, for the government.

[19:26] The people in the building are, are critical to what we do.

[19:29] It's a, it's a Maryland business.

[19:31] It's a Maryland LLC, it's owned by Marylanders,

[19:35] numerous Naval Academy graduates in that group.

[19:37] We are a veteran-owned small business.

[19:40] And then we pull from both the western

[19:41] and eastern shore of Maryland to support what we do.

[19:45] Head of engineering is the United States is a Maryland

[19:48] University of Maryland grad.

[19:50] Our front office, you know,

[19:53] somewhat comes from the western shore,

[19:54] some from the eastern shore, but a lot

[19:56] of our technicians in trades do come from Queen Anne County.

[19:59] And that's critical to what we do.

[20:02] The maritime industry is a nice

[20:04] sister industry to what we do.

[20:05] If, if you understand boats and working in engines and,

[20:09] and tinkering with tractors

[20:10] and et cetera, you tend to to be able to pick up what we do.

[20:14] And that's important for us to be able to continue to grow,

[20:17] to continue to find labor that we need to support

[20:20] what we do right here in the county.

[20:24] So I say all that just to say that it, it's, you know,

[20:26] we're, we're a business that's on the move and successful

[20:28] and it's, it's in many respects

[20:30] because of where we're located and it's as much a,

[20:33] a Maryland and Queen Anne County story as anything else.

[20:36] And I think our ability to continue to be here,

[20:38] to grow here is important.

[20:40] And I think, I think that's a, a large amount of pride

[20:43] that everybody can take in, in the success of this business,

[20:45] but a collective success of a

[20:46] Maryland and Queenland County business.

[20:51] Thank you, John. I guess at this point, you know,

[20:54] we would, we would entertain any questions you guys have,

[20:57] we'll be happy to answer those.

[20:58] Otherwise, you know, we would respectfully request your

[21:01] approval of the final site plan so that we can

[21:04] button this project up

[21:05] and like I said,

[21:07] get John moving in the right direction here.

[21:10] Questions Madam Chair?

[21:12] Go ahead, Ben. Steve, can, can you give us some sort

[21:16] of graphic of where the runway is

[21:18] for Bay Bridge Airport in relation to the building?

[21:22] Yeah, I, I might have

[21:23] to pop outta my presentation real quick.

[21:26] I'm curious as to whether the building's directly in the

[21:29] approach path to use a pilot term or whether it's offset.

[22:08] Okay, so the, the property in questions here

[22:10] that's highlighted in blue and here

[22:13] You're, here's your, that tells me

[22:14] what I, what I'm asking. Okay. Yep.

[22:17] Slightly offset. Yep. Thank you. Sure. Oh, I need,

[22:22] I have a question regarding your traffic patterns.

[22:25] I don't know if you wanna bring up your traffic person

[22:27] or if you can address that.

[22:28] And primarily it is,

[22:31] and I'll give the county department heads up

[22:34] that they'll be asked probably to weigh in on their opinion

[22:35] as well, looking at the, What we're calling this,

[22:40] your traffic post sign for outbound trucks leaving

[22:44] the proposed project going westbound or eastbound on on 50

[22:50] and recalling the conversation we had about ingress

[22:52] and egress out of this particular property at

[22:54] that intersection with Route 18 or eight south.

[23:00] And so why are the westbound

[23:06] traffic exiting your property crossing

[23:12] a a thoroughfare that's in a car sometimes challenging.

[23:17] And why are we sending, we you suggesting they

[23:22] go left outta there speaking specifically about larger

[23:24] trucks, tractor trailer scale

[23:26] and not going eastbound on that access road to the turnabout

[23:30] and coming back to get in the queue.

[23:34] So we have 45% of our traffic trucks

[23:39] and passenger car vehicles

[23:43] traveling westbound over the bridge so

[23:46] that traffic would exit the site making a left

[23:50] and then a right onto to Maryland eight

[23:53] and using the interchanged access 50.

[23:56] Right. But why not?

[23:57] Because that's a tricky exit coming off the property

[24:00] and onto that access road, whatever that name is,

[24:05] versus turning right, going down

[24:06] to the circle and coming back.

[24:09] So if you go to the circle,

[24:11] then you're turning right onto us 50

[24:14] and you've gotta go down and no,

[24:15] No, no, you go around the circle

[24:16] and come back to get in the queue. I'm just curious.

[24:20] Yeah, I mean that that,

[24:21] That's an, it's, it's a, it's an alternate route.

[24:24] So turning, turning right, going

[24:27] around the circle and then coming back.

[24:29] Correct. Because the, the design

[24:33] of the access as shown with the auto turn exhibit shows

[24:38] that you can, I, I

[24:41] wb 67 I think was the truck that we used,

[24:46] which is the largest tractor trailer can negotiate that. I,

[24:50] I have no question about the engineering involved in a,

[24:52] a truck being certified to make a particular turn.

[24:55] Yeah. Fantastic. Thank you for all that information

[24:58] and data I'm just talking about logistically speaking,

[25:01] I come at a target and I often wait several minutes in a car

[25:06] to turn left to go to that same intersection.

[25:08] And I'm just wondering as a tractor trailer driver in a

[25:11] circum under a similar circumstance that that would be

[25:14] that much more challenging.

[25:16] I'm just curious to why we're directing traffic

[25:18] to the left coming out of your this

[25:20] facility versus going right.

[25:21] Yeah, I just, I think that's, you know,

[25:23] a professional truck driver is gonna take the easiest route,

[25:26] I don't think going down to the roundabout

[25:28] and trying to Well,

[25:30] Well there's easy and they're safe and practical.

[25:33] So I'm just, we we talk about this a lot about yeah. Right.

[25:36] Specifically case in point are mining

[25:39] extraction facilities here in the county.

[25:41] Yeah. We require them to go way out

[25:44] of their way roundabout over the hill through the woods

[25:46] to avoid certain intersections

[25:48] or certain parts of town that are school bus heavy

[25:51] or business heavy or you know,

[25:52] soft shoulder, whatever the reason is.

[25:55] I understand what you're saying. We

[25:56] Can direct traffic where we choose to direct traffic

[25:58] and I'm just wondering if that, if we're currently under

[26:01] that yellow arrow that's proposed, if that's the safest

[26:04] egress from your property.

[26:05] I get what you're saying, it's a left, we're trying

[26:08] to eliminate left turn to where Well

[26:09] It's, it's a short, it's a short run there too, but

[26:12] I don't think,

[26:13] and maybe John can answer this is not really

[26:20] a, a large truck generator.

[26:22] I mean the trucks come in, deliver parts. There's

[26:25] One a day or something was per Joe's I

[26:26] Think.

[26:27] Yeah. And I'm not sure. So we, an I analyze

[26:30] traffic engineers analyze peak hour.

[26:33] I don't know exactly when your truck's coming in,

[26:36] but I probably not during peak hours.

[26:41] I know deliveries try not to come to facilities

[26:46] during peak time period.

[26:47] So I would suspect your truck traffic is not gonna arrive

[26:52] during that seven to 9 46 mid morning

[26:55] Later in the morning, sometimes afternoon.

[26:57] And I think that probably the, the small number

[27:00] of trucks accessing this site

[27:03] and then not being peak hour trips, I would think mitigates

[27:09] any, any conflicts with the commuting public.

[27:14] Okay. I see engineers representing the department,

[27:17] public works and roads.

[27:18] Do you have any, can you reaffirm these comments

[27:21] or alleviate my concerns Mr.

[27:25] Ger or Mr. Moore about egress of truck traffic on

[27:28] that stretch of road there?

[27:30] That's pretty congested at most times.

[27:33] Also Henry here, the state highway.

[27:35] That, that the state highway road, you might

[27:38] Chime in.

[27:39] That's fine. I, I defer to you as to

[27:41] who con addresses the concern and it's not a major one.

[27:45] It just seems like there's an alternate route

[27:47] that might be safer and better

[27:48] and why that's not being pro proposed as option A.

[27:52] I don't know, is my question.

[27:56] I mean, I can take it back to our

[27:57] Traffic.

[27:58] I think you're gonna need to be on a mic,

[27:59] sir, if you don't mind.

[28:03] I would add just quickly in support of Mr.

[28:06] Lay's reservations, I'd hate to be the sheriff that has

[28:10] to enforce unless enough space is there to clear the turn.

[28:16] I don't think that road sign

[28:18] that you proposed is particularly effective

[28:20] and in support of Commissioner Lay's position, I'd like

[28:23] to see something that says no right

[28:24] or no left turn right for trucks.

[28:28] Well again, we, we ran the auto turn

[28:30] and there's, it's, there's adequate space

[28:33] for the largest truck to, to turn left

[28:37] If there's no other traffic.

[28:39] Right? Well it's, it's, you wait for a gap.

[28:41] It's just, I mean these are professional truck drivers,

[28:43] they're gonna wait for a gap.

[28:44] Yeah, no, I understand that. And they're gonna proceed.

[28:48] I mean, you're also gonna have conflicts with traffic

[28:51] with a truck trying to negotiate the, the roundabout.

[28:55] Yes. So I, I think the safest way is to make,

[28:59] wait for a gap in traffic.

[29:01] It's gonna be off peak hour, make a left

[29:03] and then use, use the state road

[29:07] to access us 50.

[29:09] I think that's the safest, most efficient route for

[29:14] Trucks.

[29:15] Is that the state's position as well, sir?

[29:17] To the best of my knowledge, yes.

[29:18] And like I said, I can take it back to our traffic engineers

[29:21] and tractor division in the office

[29:24] and if what their thoughts are on trying to send tractor

[29:28] to trailers up to that roundabout,

[29:30] that is a very small roundabout to try

[29:32] to make a u-turn within it basically.

[29:35] Well if you're coming eastbound, you're take,

[29:36] you're cutting a u-turn on that,

[29:38] that's the proposed entrance route for eastbound traffic.

[29:41] Right? Sure. You're not coming off again.

[29:46] It, it, it also suggests it's a little weird that

[29:49] you're not, you're you're going out one way

[29:53] but you're not coming in that same way.

[29:55] Right? So if you turn the page, you're suggesting

[29:57] that eastbound traffic go all the way down to that circle,

[30:00] do that hairpin u-turn that we just mentioned

[30:02] and coming back into the facility.

[30:04] Why are you not getting off the exit ramp right off the

[30:07] bridge and turning right and then merging over?

[30:11] Well it's, I mean you're talking about going down

[30:13] and turning a truck, turning around

[30:18] the entire roundabout.

[30:19] If you're coming from westbound 50, you don't need

[30:23] to traverse through the entire roundabout. It's you're,

[30:26] But it's arguably a, a similar if not tighter turn,

[30:30] at least on the map we're looking at. I mean,

[30:32] If you're, if you're going all the way

[30:33] around the round the roundabout,

[30:34] the truck's gonna be dragging its wheels through the center

[30:37] of the roundabout if you're trying to,

[30:40] Which I believe is built for that.

[30:42] Yeah, it's, it's built for that.

[30:43] But again, you know, the analysis shows that

[30:47] and State Highway reviewed the study.

[30:49] They reviewed the trip distribution and the number of trips

[30:52] and they approved it and then they, they asked

[30:56] for the truck turning radius, which we provided them.

[30:59] And then we're, we're designing the access specifically

[31:04] for trucks to exit and enter.

[31:06] Again, I understand all the

[31:07] design, engineering, and forethought.

[31:09] Fantastic. Thank you. Appreciate that.

[31:10] No problems, no issues. It's the simple logistics of why

[31:14] you still haven't answer my question

[31:16] to why are we bringing trucks in one way

[31:18] but not the same way out.

[31:20] It seems to me that would be, if if your argument is

[31:23] where you want to position yourself, that's fine,

[31:26] but it seems contradictory to me this

[31:29] Way.

[31:30] So I think what he's talking about is this here.

[31:34] Right. So I yeah, we,

[31:38] we have distributed the traffic.

[31:40] There are 25 inbound

[31:45] AM trips from, from northbound.

[31:50] I'm on page 17.

[31:52] I'm looking at this, this exhibit here,

[31:54] this color coded wrap mount.

[31:56] Yeah,

[31:59] Yeah, that's, that exhibit's not my study.

[32:01] And one page has you

[32:03] leaving one way and the other way it's,

[32:05] If I may add, this was an exhibit

[32:07] that we put together internally

[32:08] and coordination with, with tech ops to coordinate with

[32:12] that study the count study that's in your packet as well.

[32:16] This is not meant for everyday traffic like we're talking

[32:18] about the larger trucks.

[32:20] That's what this is, is meant for.

[32:22] This will be an internal kind of logistics plan just

[32:25] for the trucking.

[32:26] It sounds like, you know, based on the time of arrival,

[32:30] what we've done from the study, it's gonna be off peak hours

[32:32] as Mark mentioned that left turnout of the site isn't

[32:36] as much of a conflict

[32:37] because there won't be as much,

[32:39] much cuing at that time of day. Yeah.

[32:41] But then why Okay then well, okay, fine, fine. Thank you.

[32:44] Addressed and answered. Still have,

[32:47] I'm waiting clarity on why inbound trucks coming from the

[32:51] Bay Bridge are going under the underpass to go to

[32:54] that roundabout to come back

[32:55] and instead of getting off at the exit,

[32:57] That's not happening.

[32:58] And I didn't do that in my study.

[33:00] All the traffic that's entering this site, if,

[33:05] if you, I don't know if you have the study, it's on page 17,

[33:08] they're arriving, they use the interchange

[33:13] to access eight

[33:14] and then they turn left onto Thompson Creek Road.

[33:21] So this, you're talking about the long rundown and

[33:23] Then I'm talking about this exhibit right there

[33:25] that has him going past your facility, coming back to it

[33:29] through the roundabout that we've been talking about.

[33:31] Why is that the preferred means of entering

[33:35] for eastbound traffic instead of getting off the exit,

[33:38] immediately coming off the Bay Bridge

[33:40] To reduce one left turn in that,

[33:42] that lane at the intersection of Route eight

[33:45] and Pine Creek route.

[33:47] Okay, we can, I'm, I'm hearing con contradicting,

[33:50] contradicting to ions on, on

[33:54] from an expert, traffic expert

[33:58] who says trucks are gonna take the path

[33:59] of release resistance and then

[34:01] the next comment is they're gonna go down underneath this,

[34:04] go around, skip through Maloo and come back.

[34:06] Okay. I, I just, I'm, I'm, I need, I still,

[34:09] I'm still not super clear on why we're not doing

[34:12] So can I.

[34:13] Same entrance and egress pathways.

[34:15] I, I, when I do a study, I try to take the

[34:19] worst case traffic scenario

[34:21] 'cause it's the easiest path for me to get

[34:24] Approved.

[34:25] Sure. Human nature. Yeah.

[34:25] So I had all my trips from coming across the Bay Bridge

[34:31] using the interchange

[34:32] and then as I said, coming down south,

[34:36] The shorter run.

[34:37] Yeah, right. The more logical Right.

[34:39] Direct route. And we, so then we did the auto turn just

[34:42] to make sure that truck traffic could do

[34:45] what I'm showing in the study and they can,

[34:48] and then I guess Dorsey had an alternative.

[34:53] I I don't think it's a good idea to say no left turns.

[34:56] I mean I think the best access is to, to keep

[35:02] the full access movement.

[35:04] 'cause again, this is a very limited

[35:09] generator in terms of tractor trailers.

[35:12] And again those tractor, the tractor trailer

[35:15] that will visit the site is most likely not gonna

[35:19] happen during the peak hour

[35:21] To the next page.

[35:23] I I hear you and I, I don't necessarily agree with you,

[35:26] but it's just from a presentation.

[35:29] But when I'm reading this, it sounds like you're

[35:33] proposing two different scenarios

[35:35] and then saying they're both the best, but I'm,

[35:37] I'm not. I'm I'm

[35:38] Saying okay, your team is Yes,

[35:40] Yes. And that,

[35:41] That's, and that's confusing

[35:42] to the people sitting over here that that's who are trying

[35:44] to interpret your intentions. If I,

[35:45] If I can just kind of summarize

[35:46] and bring back, we've got four want, two inbound,

[35:49] two outbound, I Sure, sure.

[35:55] Two inbound, two outbound.

[35:56] And the only route that differs from

[35:58] what was in the traffic report was this one

[36:01] where I show further down right at

[36:03] The circle and coming back through through Yep. Yes. That

[36:05] Was tip only to reduce any left turn at the

[36:08] End.

[36:09] That's not necessarily a preferred recommended route.

[36:11] That's just simply the alternative route.

[36:13] Simply like turning right turn only

[36:15] would be an alternate route. Yes sir. Understood.

[36:17] For the one tractor trailer that,

[36:19] that comes each once a day during off peak hours.

[36:23] Okay, now that, now that's clear. Okay.

[36:25] Thank Sorry for the confusion.

[36:26] No, no, it's, you leave a little, when you leave room

[36:29] for interpretation, you get different interpretations.

[36:34] But I appreciate you that, that Thank you. But

[36:36] I completely addressed Questions.

[36:38] Un unless the county department has anything to add

[36:40] or subtract from that testimony on behalf

[36:43] of Department of Public Works.

[36:45] 'cause you've been involved in this, I'm sure.

[36:49] Good morning. Lee Edgar, chief engineer

[36:52] with the Department of Public Works.

[36:54] I'm not quite as intimately knowledgeable with regard

[36:57] to the exhibit and how that all came together and such.

[37:00] So the applicant is really best to speak to that.

[37:03] But I am hearing the discussion and understand your question

[37:06] and concern and want to provide some insight

[37:08] with regard to that.

[37:10] Commissioner, you're always good to add, ask the question.

[37:12] As always, we're concerned about the safety

[37:16] and, you know, movement for our motoring public and such.

[37:19] In this case, as you brought up the, the matter of

[37:23] extractions and mines

[37:25] and such in the review of this project, the

[37:30] trucks coming in

[37:31] and out serving this are very, very few in number.

[37:35] Whereas with a mine that that product is,

[37:38] you have a vast quantity of vehicles coming in and out.

[37:42] I would tend to agree with the applicant that

[37:46] not restricting this

[37:48] and leaving, leaving the access to

[37:52] and from the site to the discretion

[37:54] of the truck driver would be the best scenario in this,

[37:59] in this case, for example, a tractor trailer and,

[38:04] and I don't know how many tractor trailers they would really

[38:06] have indicate that was kind of the worst case scenario.

[38:11] Making that right turn outta the site, going back

[38:15] to the traffic circle

[38:16] and coming back, the vehicles entering that circle,

[38:20] even though it is marked with a deceleration speed

[38:23] and such would coming off

[38:25] of the state highway would be presumably coming at a much

[38:28] higher rate of speed than, for example, vehicles coming

[38:33] off of Route eight, making that turn

[38:36] onto the road from that light.

[38:39] They have very little time to bring up speed.

[38:41] So I think if I were driving the truck leaving

[38:46] that site, I would likely opt to wait for a clear movement

[38:51] to make a left turn out of the site.

[38:53] To your point, it may take a little while depending on the

[38:57] queuing of vehicles and such,

[38:59] but I think it is very situational.

[39:02] And in this particular instance, the proposal as it is,

[39:06] which does not have signage

[39:07] or restrictions on how those

[39:11] vehicles which are delivering materials to

[39:14] or from the site would utilize their discretion.

[39:18] It would probably very be a very challenging thing

[39:20] to implement, unlike a mine for example, where

[39:24] that is the business

[39:25] and the drivers are very much trained to adhere

[39:28] to a haul route when you have a manufacturing facility

[39:31] and a occasional deliveries which may be coming in

[39:34] and out, different, different drivers

[39:37] and every, it would be very, very difficult if not,

[39:41] you know, really logistically impossible to

[39:44] enforce a haul route

[39:46] and could enter some confusion into that

[39:49] for the drivers who are doing it.

[39:50] So you're, you're very good to ask the question.

[39:53] I think there are valid questions in the terms

[39:55] of the motorist that's going to be pulling out,

[39:58] but I would agree that it's best to be left to the driver

[40:02] for that particular delivery.

[40:03] And so Mr. Edgar, thank you, appreciate that greatly.

[40:05] Good points all, would you, just to clarify your comments,

[40:10] you would not be in favor of a sign suggesting that in,

[40:14] in the application package, quote, attention all trucks,

[40:16] no left turns unless there's enough space

[40:18] to clear the eastbound drive lane.

[40:19] That seems as Mr.

[40:21] Till Commissioner Tillman stated silly to enforce

[40:26] and, and a and a professional trucker should know that,

[40:29] that they shouldn't turn if, if it's not safe, right?

[40:32] I mean what was that a, whose recommendation was that?

[40:35] The, a recommendation of the traffic expert

[40:37] for safety purposes or that

[40:39] That was our internal clarity.

[40:41] Just notify all truck drivers if we supposed

[40:43] to sign on our gate, on the gate

[40:45] of the site as they're leaving.

[40:46] Okay. This wouldn't be an an out

[40:48] On the road.

[40:49] See it's not a legal enforceable traffic

[40:51] sign, it's just a Correct.

[40:52] Hey guys, you're gals,

[40:53] you're coming into a congested area, right? Be

[40:56] Mindful practices. Yes. Okay.

[40:58] That work for you? Yeah. Yeah. Gotcha. Thank you Mr. Greg.

[41:00] Appreciate it. You're very welcome. Thank you.

[41:03] I would like to note that art's been among us for a while

[41:09] And if he doesn't connect he may do his vote

[41:11] through me, if that's okay.

[41:13] Okay, sure. Been emailing back

[41:15] and forth as long as you're okay, Lindsay.

[41:16] Yeah, as long as you announce it. Okay. Yep.

[41:20] Okay. Any other questions?

[41:25] Other comment? Sure.

[41:34] I arrived a little late and wasn't able to sign up.

[41:37] If I can, can I submit this for all of the commissioners,

[41:43] commissioners, Jay Aleg, queen Ann Conservation Association.

[41:46] I'm not here to oppose this project,

[41:48] but I did wanna raise just a couple of things for you all

[41:51] to consider and also hope to make an appeal

[41:53] to the applicant himself

[41:55] because there might be a couple of things here

[41:56] that could both be a soft cost savings

[42:00] and also beneficial for the environment.

[42:03] So I did, I reviewed their storm water management plan

[42:10] when it comes to the Chesapeake Bay

[42:11] and Maryland's rivers and creeks.

[42:14] We're making a lot of progress in a lot of areas,

[42:16] but the one area where we continue to fail is storm water.

[42:21] And the applicant is doing what's required right now,

[42:25] but there might be a better way to do this

[42:28] and this would be with a pervious surface

[42:32] within the parking lot.

[42:34] And the document that I've just

[42:36] provided to you was generated off an AI search.

[42:40] What it shows that a pervious parking lot can actually be

[42:43] cheaper than some of the storm water management plans

[42:46] that we currently have in place.

[42:49] And so one of the things that I would really like to appeal

[42:51] to the applicant for is to consider that and look into it

[42:55] because it may be a cost savings

[42:57] and it would certainly be more

[42:59] beneficial to the environment.

[43:01] The other two things that I just wanna mention also,

[43:04] which again appeal an appeal to the applicant when it comes

[43:08] to the landscaping of the property.

[43:11] If you all could make a specific note

[43:13] of planting only native species trees and shrubbery.

[43:19] Planting native is important for a lot of reasons,

[43:21] but especially in the trees.

[43:25] An oak tree, for example, harbors up to 400 different

[43:31] organisms locally and that can be beneficial

[43:34] to the, to our environment.

[43:35] And then very last on your lighting fixtures

[43:39] for your buildings, there's a website called the dark sky

[43:44] Dark Sky effort

[43:46] and it's meant to reduce light pollution

[43:50] in this area of Ken Island.

[43:51] Light pollution is a problem.

[43:53] There are fixtures online that are dark sky compliant,

[43:57] which still provide businesses with the necessary light,

[44:00] but they angle it downward

[44:02] and it's not like the big floodlights

[44:04] that you see all over the place.

[44:06] So three environmental things that

[44:08] I hope the app applicant will consider

[44:11] and it could be something that we could all celebrate.

[44:13] I'd love to see more businesses do these types of things

[44:16] and it's a bragging, it's a bragging right

[44:18] for Queen Anne's County and for the business.

[44:20] And a lot of times many

[44:22] of these things are less costly than some

[44:24] of the other things that are out there.

[44:26] So thank you for your time. Thank you.

[44:29] Any other public comment?

[44:34] Don't have it. Nothing. One line. Okay. Can I get a

[44:39] Just one follow up on that Madam chair?

[44:41] If I may, based on Mr.

[44:42] F Said's comment, I'm looking over at staff.

[44:44] Is this, are the landscaping plans not required

[44:47] or at least in large part to be

[44:49] required to be native plants?

[44:51] I think the majority of these are native on site, right?

[44:53] Their landscape architect is here.

[44:55] Nate Ter Nate, he may be able

[44:56] to answer your question about he on site.

[44:59] No, from my review of the list, they appear largely native,

[45:02] but I, I'm looking to you guys

[45:03] that I think there's actually language in our code

[45:06] that requires, we remember going

[45:08] through this with previous directors.

[45:09] Some, but not all. It's when readily available,

[45:12] some loop in there that allows people to substitute if

[45:16] we can't get stock or something.

[45:17] But that's the intent is to be, if not all,

[45:20] largely in part native plantings. Yes, correct.

[45:25] I did have someone that wanted to make common alive.

[45:27] Okay. Hello?

[45:54] I am allowing her to make comment, but no one

[45:57] Hello?

[46:02] Did they hang up?

[46:03] No, they're still there.

[48:42] Okay, but how many do, would you, do you,

[48:44] if you don't wanna say how many

[48:45] employees you have, that's fine, I guess.

[48:47] No, we're pr it's on site on a given day

[48:50] is probably around 40.

[48:53] But you have people offsite too. The businesses supporting

[48:55] The salespeople.

[48:56] The, the vi my mic's going through. Yeah,

[48:59] But maybe she's not Hearing it on.

[49:02] Oh, it, it is possible if she had it muted on her end.

[49:05] I'm not, I'm not getting any text response.

[49:08] And I've made the meeting available so anyone could unmute

[49:11] and no one's unmuting. So

[49:13] Mr. Lee, in res response

[49:16] Yes. Onsite encourages the use of native species,

[49:21] the encourages the use for the on onsite landscaping guests.

[49:36] to the design standards in the uc zone guide,

[49:39] especially in regard to compatibility

[49:41] with surrounding development such as residential.

[49:44] Apologies that it won't. Let me unmute.

[49:53] and memo along with the package, you know,

[49:59] that are included and extensive with review with staff.

[50:09] It was a, a major topic of conversation during the PLA

[50:13] concept plan phase.

[50:15] And from that approval, we've had no substantial changes

[50:19] to the design of the building

[50:21] and the associated memo and code.
