Episcopal
Church
in

going
to
give
just
two
short
prayers
from
our
book
of
common
prayer.
Today,
one
for
local
government,
but
first
for
a
birthday
I
understand
we
have
at
least
one
birthday
in
the
room.
Is
that
right?
Could
you
raise
your
hand
if
you
have
a
birthday
today?
B
Let
me
pray
for
commissioner
heart
and
others.
B
Oh
God,
our
times
are,
in
your
hand,
look
with
favor.
We
pray
on
your
servants
as
they
begin
another
year,
grant
that
they
may
grow
in
wisdom
and
Grace
and
strengthen
their
trust
in
your
goodness
all
the
days
of
their
lives
through
Jesus
Christ,
Our
Lord,
amen,
amen,
almighty
God,
our
heavenly
father
send
down
upon
those
who
hold
office
in
this
County,
the
spirit
of
wisdom,
charity
and
justice
that,
with
steadfast
purpose,
they
may
Faithfully
serve
in
their
offices
to
promote
the
well-being
of
all
people
through
Jesus
Christ,
Our,
Lord,
amen,.
A
So
the
first
item

Thank
you,
sir.
The
board
has
adopted
resolution
in
1989
intending
to
maintain
the
order
and
Decor
above
the
governmental
process.
A
copy
of
that
is
found
here
to
my
right.
The
ethics
commission
has
asked
us
to
remind
speakers
of
public
comment
that
lobbyists
include
those
who
seek
to
influence
public
policy,
and
lobbyists
must
register
in
advance.
Floor
has
been
open
for
public
comment.
J
First
from
persons
in
the
meeting
room
who
may
begin
making
their
way
to
the
microphone
and
then
those
joining
virtually
all
speakers
must
identify
themselves
and
whether
speaking
as
an
individual,
we
will
be
allocated
two
minutes
or
a
designated
representative
of
a
group.
Will
you
be
allocated
five
for
those
attending
virtually
virtually
may
wish
to
press

or
use
the

your
hand
function

They
will
be
identified
by
the
last
four
digits
of
your
phone
number
or
screen
name
and
unmuted
one
at
a
time.
J
K
I
want
to
real
quick
thank
the
exiting
Commissioners
for
all
of
your
time
and
effort
that
has
been
placed
in
our
County
and
to
the
incoming
Commissioners.
Hopefully
we
can
all
work
together
between
citizens,
business
owners
and
the
county
in
order
to
create
a
better
accounting.
So
the
reason
I'm
here
today
is
that
I'm
a
concerned
citizen
as
well
as
a
business
owner.
My
name
is
Kevin
marilat
I'm,
the
owner
of
Maryland
pools
located
in
Owings
Maryland,
we've
been
there
for
47
years.
K
Recently,
the
county
has
added
additional
policies
that
are
extremely
devastating
to
production
and
workflow
of
jobs
within
Calvert
County
I've
been
bringing
up
the
issues
that
the
public
works
department
has
been
placing
upon
us
and
their
interpretation
of
Maryland
state
storm
water
management
code
that
is
now
requiring
any
Calvert
County
citizen
to
obtain
an
engineered
building
permit,
regardless,
if
that
project
is
under
5
000
square
feet
or
over
five
thousand
square
feet,
which
is
the
mark
on
that?
K
In
addition,
I
wanted
to
bring
up.
You
know
a
couple
of
examples
so
that
way
we
can
see
a
project
in
Calvert
County
versus
maybe
a
project
in
St,
Mary's
or
Charles
or
Anne
Arundel,
so
one
back
in
back
last
year.
I
just
want
to
give
the
really
good
example.
First,
a
job
was
taken
to
the
permit
office
on
3
2
21,
and
the
permit
was
issued
on
3
25
21..
K
K
The
point
of
the
story
is
I've
been
standing
up
against
this
policy
because
it
is
unfair
not
to
me
as
a
business
owner,
but
to
my
homeowners
and,
more
importantly,
to
the
gentleman
sitting
behind
me.
The
workers
that
work
on
the
jobs
so
I
would
like
to
start
this
fresh
year
with
a
real,
honest
understanding
of
why
we
have
these
policies
and
how
destructive
they
are
and
how
much
they
cost
a
homeowner.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
Good
morning
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Bob
Estes
and
I'm,
representing
the
friends
of
Hunting
Creek.
Today,
first
of
all,
I
hope
you
all
had
a
great
Thanksgiving
and
for
commissioner
Hans,
a
good
harvest
along
with
the
rest
of
the
Agricultural
community
in
Calvert
County
of
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
hard
work
and
in
particular
those
that
will
be
leaving
the
the
board.
We
appreciate
what
you've
done,
not
just
in
this
room,
but
also
for
the
the
Boy
Scouts
and
the
Girl
Scouts
during
their
eagle
and
gold
ceremonies.
L
We've
always
been
a
fixture
there
and
it
really
means
a
lot
to
us
and,
lastly,
for
your
work
and
moral
fortitude
in
rejecting
the
Prince
Frederick
phase,
II
Expansion
and
other
expansions
as
well
like
I,
live
around
here.
So
that's
the
one
I
look
at
so
that
phase
two
is
essentially
dead.
L
I
I
know,
there's
probably
a
few
more
votes
and
a
few
more
signatures
that
have
to
happen,
but
but
there's
still
an
awful
lot
of
land
out
there,
even
land
in
the
in
the
Prince
Frederick
Town
Center
that
can
still
be
developed
at
the
high
rate
of
high
density
of
14
units
per
acre.
L
There's
a
40
acre
chunk
just
west
of
the
Calvert
Hills
Apartment
site
that
is
I,
guess
in
the
town
center
and
could
end
up
being
the
same
size
as
a
chat
line,
place
and
beech
tree
combined,
there's
enough
room
for
that
and
that
land
is
fairly
fairly
flat
as
flat
goes
in
Calvert
County
that
you'll
you'll
end
up
with
560
high
density
units,
there
1500
people
and
potentially
a
thousand
more
commuters.
L
It's
going
to
be
tied
to
sewer
so
there's
that
issue,
and
also
there
will
be
roughly
a
million
dollar
per
year
deficit
and
operating
budget
expenses,
and
that's
every
year
from
the
time.
The
thing
is,
it
goes
and
that's
using
the
the
average
I
know.
Commissioner
gadway
has
issues
with
that,
but
those
are
the
numbers.
L
I
was
given
and
I
I
seriously
doubt
that
there's
room
in
your
budget
for
an
extra
million
dollars
here
in
a
million
dollars
there,
because
there's
hundreds
more
Acres,
as
you
know,
that
can
either
be
developed
as
high
density
or
even
four
units
per
acre
density,
close
to
the
town
center
and
right
now
you
know
the
new,
adequate
public
facilities
coordinates
and
the
rules
rules
embodied
in
it
can
can
slow
down
the
growth.
But
it's
just
a
six
year.
L
Speed
bump,
as
you
all
know,
and
I'm
still
hoping
that
eventually
you
all
can
get
some
Provisions
for
really
controlling
growth.
That's
targeting
the
growth,
not
just
a
byproduct
of
you
know.
In
addition,
you
know
maybe
increase
the
limits
on
what's
really
buildable
by
looking
at
both
soil
types
and
slope
together,
because
they
both
count.
L
So
a
five
percent
slope
can
it
is
made
of
sand,
will
erode
just
like
any
other
slope,
that's
higher
and
lastly,
and
looking
over
a
the
draft
public
facilities,
ordinance
I
noticed
something
that
that
followed
me
to
some
extent,
and
that
is
that
and
it's
on
page
14
15,
that
all
you
do
need
to
do
is
submit
a
development
application
to
get
a
placeholder
that
will
allow
you
to
basically
go
with
the
old,
adequate
public
facilities
rules,
not
the
new
ones,
and
you
get
a
12-month
12
month,
Buy
on
that,
and
then
you
can
put
in
your
concept
site
plan
to
me.
L
That's
too
big
a
loophole
and
should
potentially
be
reconsidered.
Right
now,
the
developers
and
contractors
out
there
they.
They
know
that.
There's
changes
in
the
adequate
public
facilities
and
in
the
comp
plan
they
know
that's
out
there
and
they've
known
it
for
months.
They've
got
many
more
months
to
you
know
scab,
together
some
sort
of
a
plan
to
play,
make
that
place
older
and
I.
L
Remember
months
ago,
we
were
worried
a
little
bit
about
that
when
we
considered
a
moratorium
on
on
high
density
building,
but
consider
that
and
see
if
there's
something
in
there
that
maybe
could
be
done
to
they
reduce
that
to
two
or
three
months
or
something
along
those
lines.
I'm
not
an
expert
at
these
things
but
looks
like
a
big
loophole
to
me
again.
Thank
you
and
it's
good
to
see
you
all
again
and
you
all
that
are
be
leaving
the
board.
L
I
hope
we
still
see
you
active
in
in
County
business,
because
you've
got
the
experience
and
the
will
to
to
make
this
a
better
place
and
happy
birthday
Mike.
Thank
you.
M
Good
morning
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Joseph.
Come
here,
you
all
had
a
wonderful
Thanksgiving,
Happy
Birthday
to
commissioner
Hart.
There.
You
guys
got
a
full
schedule
today.
I
just
want
to
express
again
my
comment
on
the
Cigar
Lounge
ordinance
change.
I
think
we
should
be
changing
the
ordinance
to
remove
the
ability
for
anywhere
in
the
county
for
there
to
be
indoor
smoking.
It
just
doesn't
make
sense.
M
M
If
we
let
them
have
indoor
smoking
and
alcohol
consumption
and
bring
your
own
snacks,
it's
going
to
open
it
up
for
all
restaurants
to
go
back
to
smoking
and
that's
not
something
we
want
in
our
County
I
hope
that
you
guys
think
about
all
the
things
you're
doing
today
and
how
it's
going
to
affect
the
growth
and
as
Bob
was
talking
about.
You
know
more
development
is
going
to
bring
in
more
people
which
is
going
to
be
more
schools
and
we're
at
the
seams
on
a
couple
of
them
right
now.
M
I
hope
that
you
just
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
it,
and
two
minutes
is
not
enough
time.
So
I
hope
the
next
board
allows
for
a
little
bit
longer
public
comments
so
that
people
who
have
things
to
say
like
Mr
Merlot,
have
time
to
say
it,
and
if
you
had
meetings
that
weren't
at
10
o'clock
in
the
morning,
maybe
in
the
evening
we'd
have
more
people
show
up
or
call
into
these
things.
So
that's
something
to
think
about.
Otherwise,
good
luck
today
and
have
a
good
afternoon.
J
N
Good
morning
my
name
is
Michael
Cox
I'm,
a
sixth
generation
farmer
on
a
farm
in
Buzzard,
Island
Creek.
The
farm
is
completely
in
a
critical
area.
When
I
acquired
the
property,
there
was
a
trailer
on
the
property.
Actually,
we
lived
there
when
we
first
got
married
and
in
the
process
of
trying
to
replace
that
trailer
with
a
stick
built.
Building
we've
been
in
constant
opposition
with
this.
Since
we've
started
we're
pursuing
trying
to
get
this
project
completed
just
in
March,
we
came
to
a
part
or
February.
N
We
came
to
a
time
where
the
permit
would
have
been
two
years
old,
so
I
came
to
the
county
and
said
I
needed
to
extend
this
permit.
So
I
could
continue.
The
work.
I
didn't
hear
anything
back
until
March.
When
I
went
down
to
look
what
was
going
on.
There
were
two
stop
work.
Orders
placed
on
the
building.
I
came
up
here
to
the
planning
zoning
building,
to
ask
what
was
going
on
and
met
Christopher
B
love
in
the
parking
lot.
He
said
he
knew
I
was
becoming
up
there.
N
He
stated
that
there
wasn't
anything
he
could
do.
He
had
to
talk
to
the
superior,
so
I
went
to
Joe
hawkhurst
and
talked
to
him
for
a
while,
and
he
said
there
was
nothing
he
could
do.
I
had
to
go
to
his
Superior
I
went
to
his
Superior
to
talk
to
Mary.
Beth
cook
talked
to
her
for
a
while
and
said.
Well,
basically,
she
was
working
under
the
direction
of
the
Commissioners.
So
that's
why
I'm
here
today,
I
need
something
results
on
this
project.
N
I
just
went
last
week
and
had
a
long
two
and
a
half
hour
meeting
with
planet
and
Zoning
trying
to
resolve
this
issue
and
they
stated
I'm
in
the
process
of
getting
Mound
system
designed
for
this.
It's
in
surveyor's
office
right
now
has
gone
through
review
twice
with
environmental
health.
It's
going
through
another
review,
Once
that
is
in
place.
I
will
try
to
get
an
application
in
for
a
house
permit.
N
In
the
meantime,
I
can't
work
on
this
building.
I
was
in
the
process
of
putting
windows
in
it
and
the
Tyvek
has
rubbing
off
of
it.
So
that's
my
plea:
I
need
time
to
work
on
this
building
until
I
can
get
the
permit
secured,
and
it
would
be
nice
if
I
could
get
it
resolved
back
to
the
original
House.
Permit
that
originally
applied
for
with
this
project.
I
think
it
would
simplify
a
lot
of
things.
I
appreciate
your
time
and
attention
and.
G
G
My
land
is
100
in
the
critical
area.
One
parcel
is
in
the
flood
plain
and
large
portions
are
in
the
ever
widening
buffers
in
we
didn't
choose,
no
one
would
to
farm
here.
This
land
was
entrusted
to
us
to
enrich
for
the
next
generation.
Is
it
environmentally
sensitive?
Yes,
which
is
why
we
practice
sound
stewardship?
The
point
is
we
cannot
avoid
building
in
the
critical
area.
It
is
our
only
option
where
a
small
scale
sustainable,
non-subsidized,
Family
Farm
we
raise
produce
asparagus
to
zucchini
selling
at
the
local
farmers
market.
G
Customers
expect
produce
to
be
washed
sorted
back
in
order
to
do
that,
we
needed
a
building,
so
my
husband
Michael
built
a
small
structure
using
wood
from
tobacco,
barns
that
were
scheduled
to
be
bulldozed
and
burned
to
make
way
for
subdivisions.
He
installed
recycled
cooling
units,
keeping
more
items
out
of
the
landfill.
How
many
trees
were
cut
zero?
The
building
was
tucked
under
existing
trees
and
more
were
planted.
How
much
erosion
is
caused
absolutely
zero?
All
runoff
is
absorbed
by
leaf
mulch
trees
and
perennials.
Does
this
building
negatively
impact
the
environment?
Absolutely
not?
G
In
fact,
it
significantly
contributes
to
our
ability
to
form
sustainably.
Why
didn't
we
apply
for
a
permit?
We
understood
that
agricultural
buildings,
less
than
300
square
feet
were
exempt.
Why
didn't
we
build
further
from
the
edge
fields
of
reserved
for
crops?
Other
buildings
are
the
same:
no
trees
cut,
no
runoff
constructed
with
recycled
salvaged
material.
All
are
agricultural,
except
for
my
children's
bike
shed.
Some
of
these
buildings
now
in
the
critical
area
may
not
have
been
there
when
they
were
constructed
nearly
20
years
ago.
Lines
and
rules
have
changed.
G
We're
guilty
of
not
getting
permits,
so
are
a
great
many
other
farmers
and
residents
all
of
Calvert
county
is
essentially
critical
area,
touching
the
bay,
the
Patuxent
or
a
tributary.
Yet
we
are
targeted.
Remember
we're
talking
about
Minor
sheds,
we're
not
processing
Mercury,
but
melons.
We're
not
refining
plutonium.
We're
raising,
produce
we're,
not
a
giant
faceless
agribusiness,
but
your
local
farming
neighbor
we're
not
opposed
to
sensible
regulation,
but
the
penalties
we're
facing
are
out
of
proportion
to
the
size
and
use
of
the
building.
G
We
tried
to
comply
by
applying
for
after
the
fact
permits,
which
launched
us
into
a
mind-boggling
of
indecipherable
regulations,
impractical
restrictions
and
endless
red
tape,
specific
problems
communication.
We
were
never
told
vital
pieces
of
information.
Our
request
for
an
appeals
hearing
wasn't
processed
because
no
one
told
us
it
had
to
be
in
writing.
Complexity,
County
Personnel,
admit
they
don't
understand
the
rules
either.
One
clerk
told
us
It's,
All
Greek.
To
me
we
don't
speak
Greek.
Let's
have
plain
English
contradictions.
Getting
something
in
writing
is
nearly
impossible.
G
Recording
devices
aren't
allowed
so
things
that
we
were
promised
were
later
invalidated
confusion.
All
this
adds
up
to
a
great
deal
of
frustration.
One
critical
area,
worksheet
alone,
had
to
be
filled
out.
Three
separate
times:
cost
fines
fees,
bonds,
four
exceed
the
building's
worth
and
are
more
than
we
earn
raising
vegetables.
When
we
pointed
this
out
to
Planning
and
Zoning,
they
asked,
then,
are
you
willing
to
remove
these
buildings?
G
We
can't
Farm
without
our
buildings.
If
our
packing
Shack
is
gone,
where
do
we
ban
asparagus
in
April,
where
do
I
arrange
flower
bouquets
in
May
and
speaking
of
finances?
How
much
money
is
the
county
wasting
on
my
children's
bike?
Shed
continuation
there's
no
end
in
sight.
We
jump
through
one
hoop.
They
hold
out
two
more
for
nine
months
of
the
year.
We
are
highly
focused
on
planting
Harvest
selling.
The
short
period
when
we
can
work
on
projects
is
often
squandered
due
to
obstructions
common
sense.
G
Critical
area
rules
do
make
allowance
for
Farmers
to
harvest
crops,
otherwise
remove
no
vegetation,
wouldn't
permit
us
to
cut
hay,
pull
weeds
or
pick
strawberries.
If
there
is
an
agricultural
allowance
for
crops,
then
there
should
also
be
leeway
for
farm
buildings
to
process
and
store
crops.
The
rules
say
no
impermeable
structures
or
surfaces
without
a
permit,
and
we're
told
now
that
includes
structures
of
any
size.
Even
a
dog
house
how
many
Calvert
County
residents
got
a
permit
for
their
dog
house
and
includes
even
non-permanent
buildings.
G
Like
my
Greenhouse
Planning
and
Zoning
say
they
have
to
impose
this
on
us
because
it
has
state
in
federal
law,
but
there
is
to
stretch
discretion
given
to
local
enforcement.
Do
I
really
need
a
permit
for
every
impermeable
surface
if
I
have
to
get
a
permit
for
the
dog
house,
why
not?
The
dog
dish
clothes
line?
Poles
firewood
stack
of
hay,
the
children's
trampoline?
Let's
have
common
sense
conclusion.
Look
at
the
big
picture
where
a
small
farm
practicing
sound
stewardship.
There
are
more
trees
here
than
30
years
ago.
G
We
practice
crop
rotation,
build
soil
tilt,
provide
vital
habitat
for
Raptors
that
the
county
bands
here
have
extensive,
pollinator
plantings
and
engage
the
Next
Generation
in
ecologically
minded
activities
such
as
Monarch
watch,
butterfly
tagging.
We
have
a
wide
buffer
zone,
Turtles
come
ashore
to
lay
eggs,
songbirds
Thrive,
Eagles
and
Ospreys
soar
honeybees
find
nectar.
If
you
force
Farmers
off
their
land,
you
lose
all
that
when
you
outlaw
our
buildings,
you
destroy
our
ability
to
farm
keep
Calvert
country,
let's
honor
our
sustainable
agricultural
Heritage,
by
allowing
Family
Farms
to
thrive
instead
of
hauling
them
into
court.
G
J
A
O
Two
public
hearing
items
on
the
agenda.
The
first
is
environmental
health
fees
and
charges
background,
as
defined
by
the
Maryland
annotated
code.
Health
General,
article
section
3-201,
the
Calvert
County
Board
of
County
Commissioners,
is
the
designated
ex-officio
Board
of
Health
for
Calvert
County.
The
local
Board
of
Health
is
empowered
to
set
any
fear
charge
in
connection
with
its
rules
and
regulations.
O
Maryland
anecoted
to
annotated
code,
Health
General,
article
section,
3-202,
C1,
discussion,
Dr
Larry,
polsky,
Calvert,
County's
Health
officer,
is
proposing
recommended
changes
to
Calvert
County's
environmental
health
fees
and
charges
to
adjust
annually
with
inflation
through
proposed
schedule
of
fees
and
charges
was
advertised
in
a
paper
of
General
circulation
for
two
consecutive
weeks
prior
to
the
public
hearing
fiscal
impact.
Not
at
this
time
conclusion
recommendation
staff
requests
that,
upon
conclusion
of
the
public
hearing,
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
closed
the
record
and
adopt
and
enact
the
recommended
changes
to
the
environmental,
health
fees
and
charges.
O
We
did
not
receive
any
public
comments.
Via
mail
or
via
phone
has
made
available
in
the
resolution.
There
is
a
sheet
there.
If
anyone
wants
to
come
forward.
O
P
I
have
a
brief
statement
if
that
would
be
okay,
sure
the
environment,
the
Calvert,
County,
Health,
Department
requests
approval
of
the
environmental
health
fee.
Changes
for
2023
fees
have
been
static
for
at
least
15
years.
Despite
significant
changes
in
costs
of
basic
operations,
the
new
fees
are
necessary
to
maintain
adequate
Staffing
in
the
department
without
proper
Staffing.
We
risk
major
disruptions
to
vital
services
for
homeowners
and
businesses
across
the
county.
One
year
ago,
eight
of
our
13
staff
resigned
in
a
four-month
period
to
take
higher
paying
jobs
elsewhere.
P
These
jobs
are
both
in
the
private
and
public
sectors.
We
were
down
to
two
staff
to
cover
all
of
the
well
and
septic
needs
for
our
entire
counties.
County
for
homeowners
and
businesses.
With
failing
septic
systems,
we
were
unable
to
inspect
and
approve
applications
in
a
timely
fashion.
We
had
almost
no
ability
to
respond
to
requests
for
new
systems.
In
response
to
the
rapid
Exodus
of
Staff,
we
were
able
to
petition
the
Maryland
Department
of
budget
management
to
raise
calories,
some
more
competitive
levels
over
the
next
six
months,
we're
able
to
hire
new
staff.
P
We
now
need
the
means
of
covering
these
new
expenses.
Failure
to
adopt
to
the
realities
of
the
job
market
will
lead
us
to
where
two
other
Maryland
counties
currently
are
collapsed.
Environmental
health
departments
with
no
means
of
processing
permits
our
options
are
to
draw
General
taxpayer
revenue
or
adjust
user
fees.
It
is
our
goal
to
avoid
shouldering
the
general
taxpayer
with
the
provision
of
these
Services.
The
proposed
fee
adjustments
bring
us
to
within
one
percent
of
our
current
costs.
There
is
no
profit
for
the
health
department.
P
The
second
item
in
the
proposal
is
an
automatic
adjuster
that
should
prevent
our
current
dilemma
from
repeating
in
both
the
private
and
public
sectors,
costs
inevitably
increase
over
time.
Having
small
incremental
fee
adjustments
tied
to
the
Consumer
Price
Index
will
have
minimal
yearly
impact
on
local
businesses
and
prevent
potential
the
potential
for
unpredictable
sticker
shock
in
the
future.
Maintaining
an
adequate
and
well-trained
environmental
health
Workforce
is
necessary
for
the
economic
functioning
of
Calvert,
which
is
more
dependent
on
septic
systems
than
any
other
County
in
Maryland.
For
this
reason,
we
ask
that
you
support
the
proposal.
C
A
And
we've
you
know,
as
as
you
can
imagine,
we
hear
lots
of
concern
about
the
cost
of
fees
and
doing
business
and
the
time
that
it
takes
I
think
we
had
this
discussion
earlier
when
you
were
having
employee
issues
about
timing,
and
so
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
impact
of
this
has
on
timing
of
processing?
Well.
P
P
One
is
just
having
the
number
of
staff
that
we
need,
but
the
more
hidden
aspect
is
that
those
staff
are
well
trained
and
what
we've
seen
for
year
after
year
after
year
is
that
people
come
in
fresh
out
of
school,
that
most
people
don't
understand
that
in
order
to
be
hired
as
Environmental
Health
Specialists,
you
need
a
college
degree.
So
most
people
come
in
fresh
out
of
school.
They
work
with
us
for
a
year
or
two.
P
A
Q
About
it,
yeah
absolutely
I
mean
that's
part
of
the,
and
you
are
my
name.
Q
Health
director
of
Calvert,
County,
Health,
Department,
vision
of
environmental
health
and
apologies
for
not
introducing
myself
but
yeah
I
wanted
to
Express
how
like
a
well-trained
staff,
can
really
help
negotiate.
When
you
bring
someone
in
new
and
you're
constantly
trying
to
train
them,
you've
got
the
rule
book,
and
so
you
end
up
referencing
the
rule
book
strictly
when
you
have
well-trained
staff
that
know
how
to
negotiate
and
navigate
through
the
regulations
but
still
keeping
in
compliance.
This
helps
us
help
our
citizens
stay
in
compliance,
but
yet
move
through
the
process
more
expeditiously.
Q
And
it's
on
the
application,
the
complexity
of
it.
So
it's
all!
It's
all
variable.
You
know
the
commercial
site
plan
is
going
to
take
us
a
whole
lot
longer
to
review
than
you
know,
building
permit
for
a
shed.
So
you
know
we
train
our
staff
to
try
to
prioritize
these
things,
the
low-hanging
fruit,
what
we
call
and
move
the
less
complicated
projects
along
quickly
so
that
you
know
that
we're
not
bogged
down
into
some
stack.
Q
C
C
Unfortunately,
when
you
don't
know
the
job
and
you're
fresh
out
of
school,
you
don't
know
what
you
can
do,
and
that
is
a
big
disconnect,
because
you
have
people
that
work,
a
certain,
a
certain
industry
or
a
certain
field
and
they
go
hey
for
20
years.
We've
been
doing
this,
you
know
my
pop-up
used
to
come
up
on.
It
was
fast
pass
or
I
forgot.
What
was
the
Express?
What
was
it
called?
Fast
restaurant
Fast
Track?
C
C
Really,
don't
you
hear
retention
and
everything
in
the
medical
field
to
everything
everyone
is
struggling
with
retention
as
long
as
you
know,
with
with
fees,
obviously,
no
one
likes
that
we're
seeing
it
and
every
when
you
go
out
to
the
gas
pumps
you
know
so
like
in
my
world.
C
Every
distributor
I
have
now
has
a
gas
surcharge,
I've
seen
it
in
the
past
and
then
I've
seen
it
go
away
and
I've
seen
it
come
back
and
we're
just
seeing
it
in
every
single
facet
from
the
grocery
store
to
everything
and
unfortunate
I.
Don't
know
where
the
end
in
this
tunnel
is
you
know
when
you
live
long
enough?
You
see,
you
know
inflation
come
and
go
and
stuff,
but
on,
unfortunately
we
we
seem
to
be
at
a
Crossroads
where
it's
everything
at
one
time.
C
It's
it's
it's
a
lack
of
help,
I
mean
when
you're
here
and
you
can't
get
nurses
and
you're
hearing
law
enforcement
having
record
low
numbers
of
people
coming
out,
it's
a
mess.
It
really
is
and
to
try
to
maintain
some
type
of
Sanity.
Some
one
thing:
I've
asked
our
department
before
and
I'll.
Ask
you
guys?
You
know,
obviously
some
things
are
federally
mandated.
Some
things
are
State
mandated.
You
know
Calvert
you're,
either
up
a
cliff
or
you're
under
water,
so
there
is
a
whole
lot
in
the
critical
area
here.
C
That
I
would
ask
if
there
are
things
that
maybe
are
our
discretion,
that
you
feel
that
maybe
is
Antiquated
that
we
just
don't.
You
know
we
just
don't
address
that
anymore,
especially
when
you
know
with
man.
Hours
are
going
to
be
a
Ultra
Ultra
Premium,
you
know
and
to
have
to
go
out
and
look
at
a
shed,
or
so
you
know
what
I
mean
and
and
like
saying
and
I,
don't
know
enough
to
speak
to
hey
how
many
feet
is
you
don't
have
to
do
that
anymore?
C
To
you
know,
I
mean
me
and
Mary
Beth
have
had
discussions
and
and
I
tell
you
mark
corrected
me
on
one.
There
was
a
gentleman
come
in
and
he
was
talking
about.
We
we
stopped
work
or
order
on
him
because
of
the
length
of
the
stairs
and
I
called
Mark
and
I
said
that
is
the
dumbest
thing.
I've
ever
heard.
I
can't
believe
we
were
measuring
it
down
to
a
couple
inches.
Well,
my
whole
life
I've
used
a
hand,
cart
and
I've
bounced
them
downstairs
and
I
mean
everywhere.
C
C
Those
stairs
I
got
the
scars
to
show
it
and
I
called
him
up
and
I
said
God,
because
I
had
told
us
that
Mark
this
is
so
stupid,
so
I
understand
some
things
are
to
protect
us
from
ourselves
like
me,
but
then
going
back
to
a
common
sense
approach
and
that's
I'm
sure
you
guys
are
dressing
it,
but
just
asking
that
same
question
you
know
as
well
that
I
think
going
forward
as
businesses
adapt.
That's
something
we
need
to
adapt
to
that.
If
we
don't
need
it
anymore,
just
let
it
go
away.
A
But
the
issue
is
you
know,
we
just
heard
a
family
talk
about
the
situation
that
they're
in
you
know,
I
farm.
My
farm
has
been
in
our
family
for
over
100
years,
I'm
in
critical
areas.
You
know
the
government
comes
along
and
changes
the
rules
and
we
have
to
abide
by
those
rules.
But,
as
commissioner
Hart
says,
there's
got
to
be
some
common
sense
in
play
here
that
you
know
I
understand
the
rule
says
what
it
is,
but
I
also
understand
that
you
have
some
leeway
and
what
I
think
gets
lost.
A
A
You
know
this
is
about
customer
service
and
working
with
our
citizens
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
we,
you
know,
follow
rules
and
regulations,
but
use
some
common
sense
yeah,
and
so
that's
all
we're
asking
of
you
and
that
you
know
I
understand
that
you
know
you
need
fees
to
run
the
operation.
We
don't
want
a
revolving
door
for
employees,
hopefully
that'll
correct
that
and
15
years
is
certainly
a
reasonable
period
of
time
for
an
increase
in
some
fees.
A
A
Q
E
Q
A
And
the
Common
Thread
is
always
communication.
People
need
to
understand
why
the
rule
or
regulation
is
in
place.
They
need
to
hear
back
about
why
they
need
to
hear
about
what
they
need
to
do.
If
there
are
delays,
they
need
to
hear
that
also
people
get
very
frustrated
when
they
don't
get
a
response
back
yeah.
So
you
know
you
just
happen
to
be
in
the
seat
at
this
time
to
hear
this,
but
I
say
the
same
thing
to
our
staff.
You
know
we're
in
the
customer
service
business
and
it's
all
about
communication.
A
A
Is
there
any
other
discussion
sure
so
I
have
a
motion
and
a
second
that
we
approved
a
doctor
resolution
enacting
the
recommended
changes
to
the
environmental
health
fees
and
charges
effective,
January
4th
2023..
Any
other
discussion
on
the
motion
hearing.
None
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries.
Thank
you,
gentlemen.
A
E
O
Either
so
it's
never
too
late,
you
might
have
introduced

staff
requests
that,
upon
conclusion
of
the
public
hearing,
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
close
the
record
and
adopt
and
enact
the

O
Okay,
we
have
no
one
signed
up
and
we
have
not
received
any
written
public
comments
or
over
the
phone.
Do
you
have
any
questions.
A
O
Well,
These
funds
I
mean
we
I
will
say
this
whole
process
involves
a
lot
of
collaboration
within
the
community
procurement
for
these
and
fortunately,
Our
Community
Resources
office
works
very
closely
with
a
lot
of
these
minority
business
groups.
They've
applied
for
non-profit
their
nonprofits
themselves,
they've
applied
for
non-profit
funding,
so
communicating
to
them
has
gone
very
smoothly
and
we
do
hope
they
are
responding
to
these
proposals.
T
U
So,
last
month
we
were
here,
and
we
spoke
about
the
draft
Consolidated
Transportation
program
or
the
CTP
for
the
fiscal
year
2024
to
2028.
We
went
over
the
funding
that
Calvert
received
and
which
projects
would
remain
on
hold
or
underfunded.
So
I'm,
just
gonna
jump
into
the
memo
background.
Each
year
the
Calvert
County
Board
of
County
Commissioners
bocc,
submits
a
transportation
priority
project
letter
to
the
Secretary
of
Maryland
Department
of
Transportation.
U
The
purpose
of
the
letter
is
for
annual
annual
consideration
to
be
included
in
the
state's
upcoming
six-year
Capital
Transportation
budget.
The
cut
the
Consolidated
Transportation
program
or
the
CTP
highlights
from
the
fiscal
year
23
to
28
draft
CTP
included
funding
for
intersection
improvements
along
Maryland,
231,
Corridor
and
funding
for
A
needs
assessment
study
for
a
new
Transit
transfer
station
counties
determine
their
priorities,
prepare
local
and
Regional
priority
letters
and,
in
the
spring,
submit
the
letters
to
the
state
for
Budget
deliberation
over
the
summer.
U
This
following
the
The
Following
fall
MDOT
publishes
a
draft
CTP
allocating
funds
for
the
next
fiscal

cycle
from
no
October
to

the
Secretary
of
MDOT
and
the
heads
of
mdot's
five
business
units
and
one
Authority
tour,
Maryland's
23
counties
in
Baltimore
City
to
present
the
proposed
budget
and
discuss
yearly
initiatives.
U
U
The
draft
priority
list
is
attached
fiscal
impact.
None
conclusions
and
recommendations,
we're
asking
that
the
Board
review
and
discuss
the
draft
priority
list
and
once
the
board
has
finalized
the
priority
list,
direct
staff
to
move
forward
with
updating
the
Calvert
County
priority
project
letter
foreign.
U
U
Obviously
we
don't
have
enough
money.
2
million
is
what
we
got
last
year.
U
Next,
we
will
move
to
the
Maryland
two
four
expansion
phases:
3A
3B
north
of
Fox
Run
to
north
of
Stokely
road,
to
conclude
the
widening
project
through
Prince
Frederick,
Town
Center,
and
then
we
are
asking
for
consideration
for
adaptive,
signal,
control
technology
and
Prince
Frederick
and
in
Dunkirk,
so
just
to
go
into
that
a
little
bit.
Currently,
the
lights
are
synchronized
and
Prince
Frederick,
but
they
have
not
been
updated
since
the
widening,
so
that
was
discussed
when
the
state
was
here
last
month.
That's
something
that
they're
working
on
is
updating
that
synchronization.
U
Then
we
have
another
outstanding
priority
for
the
road
work
and
safety
enhancements
along
the
corridor,
just
north
of
the
Calvert
County
Line
at
the
intersection
of
Maryland
258
and
the
Maryland
4
intersection,
and
the
next
two
priorities
on
the
public
published
list
which
are
improvements
at
Maryland
261
and
Beach
Drive
and
Maryland
260
at
Harrison
Boulevard,
the
Ridgefield
station
intersection.
After
further
review
and
discussion
with
the
Department
of
Public
Public
Works.
We
believe
our
concerns
at
those
intersections
have
been
adequately
adequately
addressed
and
we'd
like
to
actually
remove
those
from
our
list.
I.
U
U
We
are
asking
for
some
sidewalk
extensions
on
Main,
Street
and
that'll,
be
between
old
Field
Road
and
Calvert
Town
Road,
just
to
complete
That
Sidewalk
down
Main
Street
and
another
one.
That's
was
on
the
previous
list,
we'd
like
to
keep
on
our
list,
which
is
the
Lusby
Towner
Town
Center
streetscape
from
Maryland
760
from
East
of
Maryland
765
to
west
of
Maryland
765,
just
filling
in
gaps
between
developments
already
completed.
T
A
I
think
we're
good.
It's
everything.
We've
talked
about
for
the
past
two
or
three
years
and
I
do
want
to
take
this
time
to
publicly
thank
MDOT
for
adding
Dunkirk
to
the
signal
light
synchronization
list.
We
threw
that
on
them
at
the
last
minute,
I
got
an
email.
They
are
going
to
do
that.
So
we
appreciate
that,
but
I
don't
think
we
have
anything
else
to
add
to
the
list
at
this
time.
Okay,
I
think
that's
good!
Okay.
Thank
you.
Thank.
U
T
R
Good
morning,
Commissioners,
the
purpose
of
the
first
work
session
is
to
review
and
discuss
the
proposed
text.
Amendment
22-03
to
allow
possible
Cemetery
accessory
uses
and
preparation
for
this
evening's
joint
public
hearing
background
a
text.
Amendment
application
was
received
in
July
from
the
Chesapeake
Highlands
Memorial
Gardens.
The
request
to
allow
crematoriums
and
funeral
homes
as
accessory
uses
to
existing
cemeteries
prior
to
the
zoning
ordinance
update
in
2006
crematoriums
and
funeral
homes
were
permitted
by
special
exception
in
the
district
of
what
is
now
known
as
the
farm
and
forest
district.
D
R
R
And
this
is
the
recommended
change
to
go
back
to
allowing
crematoriums
and
funeral
homes
be
permitted
through
a
special
exception
approval,
as
long
as
the
crematorium
be
an
accessory
to
the
funeral
home
and
that
the
funeral
home
shall
be
accessory
to
existing
public
Cemetery.
As
of
the
adoption
of
this
ordinance,.
R
Hnc
comments
receive
include
comments
from
the
county
attorney's
office,
recommending
a
definition
be
added
to
distinguished
private
versus
public
cemeteries.
We
did
add
a
definition
for
public
Cemetery.
A
public
cemetery
is
one
used
by
the
general
Community,
a
neighborhood
or
a
church,
while
private
cemetery
is
used
only
by
a
family
or
small
portion
of
the
community
and
that
the
actual
public
use,
rather
than
the
ownership
to
turn,
determines
whether
a
cemetery
is
public
or
private.
S
T
There
was
a
large
update
to
the
entire
zoning
ordinance
in
May
that
was
adopted
in
May
2006.
A
lot
of
staff
that
is
currently
in
the
department
was
not
here,
then
so
we're
not
exactly
sure,
but
it
might
have
just
got
lost
in.
T
S
T
T
C
That
was
kind
of
borderline.
My
question
of
why
the
change
I
mean
there's:
is
there
something
that
I
mean
some
type
of
disturbance
or
anything
like
that?
I
mean
to
me.
It
just
seems
like
it's
just
part
of
doing
business.
Yeah.
D
Well
and
if
I
may
Mary
Beth,
please
the
traditional
form
of
burial,
as
has
changed
in
my
opinion,
there's
more
Cremations
as
opposed
to.
C
C
I'm
doing
I'm
having
my
organs
donated.
If
that
poor
soul
we
get
to
get
those
but
and
then
I'm
getting
cremated
I
mean
that's
yeah.
So.
T
T
D
C
And
this
one
I
need
to
recuse
myself.
T
R
Good
morning,
the
purpose
of
this
work
session
is
to
review
and
discuss
a
proposed
text,
amendment
22-04
to
allow
for
cigar
lounges
within
the
neighborhood
commercial
sub-district
of
the
Lusby
Town
Center.
In
preparation
for
this
evening's
joint
public
hearing
background
text,
Amendment
application
was
received
in
August
from
Mr
Lincoln
Lawrence
to
request
to
allow
for
cigar,
allows
cigar
lounges
within
the
neighborhood
commercial
sub-district
of
the
Lusby
Town
Center.
Currently
lounges
are
already
permitted
within
the
village,
commercial
and
Village
edge
sub-districts
of
the
Town
Center.
R
This
is
a
map
showing
the
proposed
location
of
the
Cigar
Lounge.
It's
within
a
strip
mall
off
of
Town
Square
Drive
behind
the
post
office,
and
this
is
a
map
showing
the
sub-districts
of
the
Lusby
Town
Center.
You
can
see
the
neighborhood
commercial
is
kind
of
divided
in
between
the
village,
commercial
and
Village
Edge
sub-districts.
R
R
And
this
is
the
proposed
change
to
add
a
p
for
the
neighborhood
commercial
allowing
Tavern
night
nightclub,
lounge
and
dance
halls
be
permitted
within
that
sub
District.
The
board
of
County
Commissioners
did
request
staff.
Take
a
look
at
seeing
if
it
made
sense
to
expand
this
use
in
the
other.
Town
centers
staff
did
take
a
look
at
all
the
other
Town
centers,
where
it
there's
already
a
level
of
permittability
and
Lusby
was
actually
the
most
restrictive.
R
Agency
comments
received
from
the
Calvert
Health
Department
division
of
environmental
health,
clarifying
that
the
health,
the
Calvert
Health
Department
in
cooperation
with
the
Maryland
Department
of
Health,
enforces
the
Clean
Air
Act
CIAA.
The
CIAA
prohibits
smoking
in
indoor
areas
open
to
the
public
Within
with
open
to
the
public,
with
the
following
exceptions,
which
includes
retail
tobacco
business
that
is
sold
priority,
prioritarship,
limited
liability,
company,
Corporation
partnership
or
other
Enterprise,
in
which
I
the
primary
activity
is
the
retail
sale
of
tobacco
products
and
accessories
and
double
I.
The
sale
of
other
products
is
incidental.
R
R
There
it's
it's
divided
by
usually
by
the
category
of
uses
found
within
that
sub-district
neighborhood
commercial
is
usually
small
business,
but
they
are
very
similar
and,
as
you
can
see
with
from
the
oops
I,
don't
know
how
I
did
that
going
back
to
the
Lusby
is
kind
of
an
interesting
case,
because
the
neighborhood
commercial
is
actually
split
into
three
separate
pieces
and
it
kind
of
encomp.
R
It
goes
around
Village
commercial
I,
don't
know
why
that
was
done,
but
that
that's
the
way
that
it's
always
been
I
think
when
we
probably
get
to
the
Lusby
Town
Center
we'll
be
definitely
be
taking
a
look
of
that.
A
look
at
that
and
seeing
if
that
makes
sense
with
regarding
with
what
uses
are
located
there.
D
And
and
if
I
may
be
so
bold,
could
the
the
question
is
the
the
zoning
ordinance
could
that
be
modified
during
that
process
as
well?
The
yes.
T
A
T
Think
so
that
if
you
can
see
where
the
village
commercial
is,
it
has
a
Village,
Residential
office,
use
behind
it
or
I
guess
to
the
east
I
think
it's
somewhat
of
a
buffer
to
the
higher
larger
type
uses.
So
the
village
commercial
is
where
the
center
is.
That
has
the
large
Weiss
in
it
and
those
might
not
necessarily
be
permitted
in
the
neighborhood
commercial
as
you
get
closer
to
residential.
So
you
always
have
a
core
where
the
higher
larger
uses
are
permitted
and
then
the
further
out
you
get
lesser
uses
are
permitted.
D
And
we're
slightly
digressing,
but
going
back
to
the
origin
of
the
Lusby
Town
Center
I'm,
going
to
take
up
probably
1993
94-ish
time
frame
and
that
Village
commercial.
E
R
It's
an
it's
an
old
map
that
was
pulled
when
the
latest
or
the
last
rendition
of
the
zoning
ordinance
was
put
together.
So
it
is
not
a
today
aerial,
no.
S
T
A
T
It
that
can
be
a
whole
discussion.
Another
discussion
we
can
have
with
the
Commissioners,
but
how
we
handle
dispensaries
Today
medical
dispensaries
is
that
we
permit
them
anywhere.
You
can
have
retail
commercial,
so
retail
commercial
is
a
use,
so
it
would
be
very
easy
to
do
the
same
for
recreational
marijuana
to
permit
them
anywhere.
You
allow
retail
commercial
because
it's
sales
you.
N
N
D
If
I
could
be
so
bold
with
you,
sir,
we
have
not
received
any
legislative
Direction,
because
the
the
bills
I
mean
the
meat
of
the
matter
is
forthcoming.
The.
W
I
D
T
T
T
Mary
Beth
cook,
director
of
Planning
and
Zoning.
Today
we
are
going
to
be
going
over
the
adequate
public
facilities
requirements
that
we're
proposing
and
will
be
discussing
at
the
Joint
public
hearing
this
evening,
So.
Currently
the
Calvert
County
zoning
ordinance
is
where
the
regulations
exist
for
schools
and
Roads,
and
the
language
from
section
7-105
is
on
the
screen.
T
So
in
1988
the
adequate
public
facilities
regulations
were
adopted
and
were
actually
contained
in
the
subdivision
regulations
from
1988
to
2002,
then
in
2003
they
were
adopted
in
the
zoning
ordinance
and
remained
there
today.
Amendments
for
adequate
public
facilities
for
schools
were
done
in
2003,
2008
and
2018,
and
there
have
also
been
minor
edits
done
for
the
adequate
public
facilities
for
roads.
T
So
we
are
going
to
review
and
discuss
the
proposed
amendments
prior
to
tonight's
joint
public
hearing,
the
existing
adequate
public
facilities,
regulations,
which
I
said
were
for
schools
and
roads
will
be
removed
from
the
zoning
ordinance
as
and
as
shown
in
your
attachments
as
text
Amendment
22-05.
So
we
are
deleting
those
and
providing
a
reference
to
the
new.
What
will
be
the
new
chapter,
3
of
the
county
code,
any
new
regulations
adopted
will
become
the
part
of
the
development
review
process.
T
So
the
department
of
Planning
and
Zoning
twice
a
year
does
an
analysis
in
cooperation
with
Calvert
County,
Public
Schools,
and
then
we
release
a
report
in
April
and
November
on
the
status
of
the
schools,
whether
they're
open
they're
closed
and
whether
or
not
subdivisions
can
be
recorded
that
hold.
If
there
is
a
subdivision
proposed
in
an
area
that
where
our
school
is
closed,
they
that's
subdivision
cannot
be
recorded
for
six
years,
which
is
consistent
with
our
CIP,
so
that
if
an
additional
school
would
need
to
be
built,
we'd
have
time
to
accommodate
that.
A
X
C
C
C
C
So
I
build
I,
build
a
something
that
generates
a
hundred
additional
cars,
and
maybe
the
roads
can
support
it
and
the
water
and
sewer
can
support
it,
but
the
school
can't
and
I'm.
Commissioner
Williams
can
correct
me
I
believe
the
90s
was
the
one
school
a
year
decade
and
now,
all
of
a
sudden,
you
know
our
portion
before
the
cost
of
goods
went
crazy
somewhere
was
hovering
around
35
million
dollars.
So
now
all
of
a
sudden
taxpayers
are
going
to
put
on
a
35
million
dollar
bill
teachers.
C
It
takes
to
do
that,
the
custodians,
the
everything
that
comes
involved
with
this
and
the
cost
to
the
business.
That's
incurring
this
extra
expenses-
hey
I,
worked
within
your
rules
and
this
is
what
it
said.
So
guess
what
I
want
my
money
see
you
later
and
we've
seen
that
and
that's
been
told
my
face.
J
But
six
to
seven
years
has
been
what
the
what
the
Supreme
Court
has
generally
said
is
an
acceptable
time
that
you
can
make
somebody
wait
without
it
being
a
taking
that.
J
C
If
that
I
don't
know
if
there's
correct
terminology,
but
I
mean
it's
just,
it's
just
unfair
to
and
I
look
I'm
not
about
taking
money
out
of
somebody's
pocket,
but
I'm,
not
a
I'm,
not
a
fan
of
somebody
costing
somebody
and
some
money
either.
You
know
I
mean
as
much
as
a
person
wouldn't
want
to
be
damaged
by
our
action.
The
taxpayer
shouldn't
be
damaged
by
somebody
else's
action,
that's
just
fair
play,
and
so
the
six
years
I
get
it
and
I
understand
it.
But,
like
I,
say,
I
mean
I.
C
Think
the
big
coming
to
Jesus
meeting
with
me
is
when
God
looked
me
right
in
the
face
and
said:
I
want
my
money
and
I.
Don't
care
and
I
mean
I
really
broke
it
down
to
me.
I
was
like
wow,
you
know
we
all
talk
on
the
surface,
how
much
we
love
the
county
and
we
love
this
that
and
the
other,
but
not
when
it
comes
to
that
pocketbook.
When
it
comes
that
wallet,
that's
out
the
door
and
pay
me,
but
I
don't
want
my
taxpayers
to
have
to
eat
it.
J
There
are
two
ways
to
impose
fees
or
taxes
on
development.
The
county
currently
has
an
excise
tax
that
you
impose
on
each
new
residential
unit,
where
they
contribute
towards
schools,
Recreation
and
Roads.
That
number
can
be
modified
with
public
hearing,
there's
also
the
opportunity
which
does
not
require
State
legislation
to
impose
an
impact
fee.
As
long
as
you
can
draw
a
direct
Nexus
between
where
that
fee
is
collected
and
how
it's
spent,
you
don't
need
State
legislation
to
impose
a
regulatory
fee.
C
Can
that
be
individualized,
though,
because
sometimes
with
these
things,
you
know
you
say:
well,
you
put
this
fee
in
and
the
guy's
going
hey,
wait
a
minute
wait
a
minute.
All
we
need
for
this
to
happen
is
I
need
a
fence,
and
the
fees
here
is
there.
Is
there
a
way
to
where?
Okay,
if
you
hit
this
category,
the
fee
may
be
this,
but
if
you
hit
that
category
it
could
be,
that
is
that
is
that
legal,
like.
J
T
And
I
also
wanted
to
talk
about
the
November
2022.
Adequate
public
facilities
for
schools
is
out
and
there's
only
one
Elementary
School
closed
and
that's
as
a
direct
result
of
transfer
students,
so
I
mean
I
know
that
we
started
doing
that
analysis
at
the
request
of
the
Border
County
Commissioner
several
years
ago
to
show
the
rest
of
the
schools
are
closing
in
on
90
percent.
I,
don't
think
it's
going
to
Never
Say
Never,
but
it's
that
one
school
and
the
transfers
that
are
causing
the
problems
currently.
C
So
go
back
in
time
when
Patuxent
High
School
was
brand,
new
trailers
were
out
back
immediately.
It
was
supporting
the
rest
of
the
county
and
the
the
notion
was
well
we're.
Building
these
other
schools
we're
trying
to
keep
up
once
they
got
there
and
those
kids
now
were
put
out
there.
Then
just
what
you
see
came
into
play
all
the
different
transfer
stuff
transfers
are
there
for
a
reason:
people's
workplace
things
of
that.
C
That,
but
that
wasn't
what
the
case
was
on
a
lot
of
these
things
and
then
and
then
my
direct
back
then
conversation
with
the
board,
Ed
I
was
told
plain
and
simple.
You
don't
get
to
make
that
call
and
I
said
well.
How
do
you
take
a
kid
on
deers,
Beach,
Road
and
shoot
them
up
the
road?
How
do
you
take
a
kid
out
of
White
Sands?
They
go
to
school
down
south.
You
know
at
appeal
at
Southern
and
then
You
Yank
half
them
up
there,
so
that
has
been
but
I.
C
T
Yeah
and
I
I
can
get
you
a
copy
of
the
report
and
it's
also
available
online
on
the
Planning
and
Zoning
website.
C
T
Y
Good
morning,
Commissioners
Carrie
Dahl,
director
of
Public
Works,
okay.
So
what
we
did
here
is
you
can
see
the
current
status
talks
about
maintaining
a
level
surface
of
C,
except
in
the
town
centers,
where
D
is
acceptable.
What
we've
tried
to
do
is
shape
this
to
where
we're
actually
talking
about
the
approach
lanes
and
a
method,
the
highway
capacity
method,
to
actually
shaping
how
we
get
to
a
level
of
service.
Y
Now
right
now
we
still
have
the
C
basically
generally
outside
of
the
Town
centers,
but
we
get
to
a
level
of
service
D
within
the
town
centers,
and
then
we've
taken
the
the
the
calculations
of
each
lane
approach
of
any
roadway
already
operating
of
service
of
E.
Before
the
impacts,
then
we're
talking
about
being
able
to
mitigate
that
down
now.
Y
Y
Totally
agree,
sir:
we
actively
engage
with
State
Highway
quarterly
to
to
address
those
concerns
and
those
issues
we
do
it
all
the
time
and.
C
And
but
what
I
think
is
is
if
we're
looking
at
a
project-
and
we
say:
okay,
the
the
the
existing
area
is
already
a
d.
Then
that
kills
it
right
there
I
know
we
can't
force
the
state
to
bring
it
up
to
a
sea
level
or
B
level.
But
if
we're
looking
at
on
our
end
and
say
Well
they're
already
at
a
d
and
now
we're
just
going
to
add
more
pressure
to
it,
that
to
my
20,
that
should
just
kill
it
right
there.
Y
A
Y
Y
I
mean
I
I,
don't
think
you
in
there.
That's,
obviously
not
the
way
it
should
be.
We
should
collaborate
and
try
to
get
what
we
need
out
of
those
those
those
meetings
and
those
interactions
with
them.
The
other
thing
that
we
added
to
this
is
we
talked
about
impact
studies
so
right
now,
currently
it's
a
requirement
to
have
400.
You
know:
traffic
movements
per
whatever
the
time
period
is
we're
reducing
that
to
number
250..
Y
So
what
we
want
to
do
is
basically
require
more
impact
studies
when
we
actually
do
a
development,
so
we're
not
we're
going
to
lower
that
threshold
from
400
to
250
to
increase
the
amount
we're
doing
so.
We
get
a
better
look
because
normally
it
wouldn't
trip
until
you
talked
about
400
trips
being
a
concerned.
So.
P
Y
A
And
I
think
our
goal
in
all
this
was
that,
at
least
in
my
time,
Mr
Williams
has
much
more
time
than
I
do
I've.
Yet
to
see
an
impact
study
come
back
and
say
there
was
an
impact
and
when
we
see
him
dumping
500
cars
on
these
little
two-lane,
roads
and
I
just
can't
get
through
my
head
that
there's
no
impact.
Y
And
sure
I
will
tell
you
that
my
staff
and
myself
have
been
challenging
some
of
those
impact
studies
that
they've
come
in
the
ones
that
we
have
seen
as
they
have
come
in
and
said
there
is
no
impact,
and
then
we
basically
take
them
the
task
on
that
to
make
it
make
them
prove.
Why
that's
the
case
so.
A
Y
Sir
understood
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
along
okay
public
sewer,
this
one
right
here,
they're
already
designed
thresholds
required
by
the
state
Maryland
Department
of
the
environment
when
you
exceed
80
percent
over
a
three-year
period.
Okay,
that
you
then
have
to
basically
get
into
a
design
piece
where
you've
actually
increased
the
capacity.
That
is
a
requirement
that
already
exists.
Y
However,
what
we
did
here
is
that
we
enumerated
90
percent
as
an
anything
above
90
is
considered
to
be
inadequate
and
the
reason
that
we
have
90
there
is
because
we
felt
that
enumerating
was
a
requirement
I've
seen
and
as
I
stated
this
before
I've
seen,
counties
go
as
high
as
95
percent
and
I've
seen
counties
talk
about
talk
around
what
the
actual
number
is
as
far
as
what
it
is.
So
this
is
black
and
white.
It's
ninety
percent
is
deemed
inadequate
and
80
actually
kicks
us
into
a
design
threshold.
Y
To
actually
that's
a
requirement
for
state
and
again
that's
a
three-year
average
I
will
make
a
note
that
this
is
the
number
I've
briefed
to
you
guys
now
on
three
separate
occasions
into
the
Planning
Commission.
Once
I
will
note
that
the
document
that's
actually
listed,
the
APF
adequate
publicity's
ordinance
actually
has
it
listed
as
80.
That
is
incorrect,
I'm
just
telling
you
that
it's
at
ninety
percent
right
here,
okay,
it's
what
I
briefed
you
the.
Y
We
did
talk
about
the
80
percent,
sir,
and
we
did
talk
about
the
fact
that
it
was
a
design
threshold
that
is
required
by
the
Maryland
Department
of
environment
that
automatically
pushes
us
into
a
capacity
increase
requirement
that
we
must
use
to
actually
to
increase
the
capacity
of
that
wastewater
treatment.
Plant.
Y
C
So
John,
let
me
ask
you
something:
this
brings
up
a
great
example.
So
now
certain
development
comes
in
and
says:
hey
I
want
to
do
x,
y
z,
and
you
say:
well
you
can't,
and
he
says
I'll
wait
my
six
years
and
you
say
well
because
we
don't
have
the
sewer
capacity.
Could
they
be
forced
to
have
to
pay
for
the
expansion
of
that
sewer
capacity,
so
they
can
handle
their
own
project.
J
C
C
C
Well,
yeah
they
do
the
self-supporting.
C
They
and
they
helped
me,
what's
the
Enterprise
fund.
K
Y
There's
an
initial
hookup
charge
if
you
want
to
call.
Y
Right
and
then
there
is
a
fixed
rate
charge
that
is
quarterly
billed
that
basically
accounts
for
each
edu
that
they've
signed
up
for
as
well
as
a
variable
cost
for
their
consumption.
So
the
it
is
a
it
is
a
essentially
a
startup
cost
and
then
an
operations
and
maintenance
cost
that
is
sustained
throughout
the
life
of
that
edu
and.
Y
It
is
designed
by
that
to
make
it
an
Enterprise
fund
and
make
it
a
non-profit
if
you
will
operating
of
that
plant
and
the
entire
system.
C
Y
C
This
I've
made
it
for
13
years
and
and
I
and
I,
don't
I
access
one,
but
that's
just
you
know
how
it
came
with
it.
You
know
what
I
mean
that
was
so
but
I
when
I
think
of
the
cost
of
an
expansion
of
a
sewer
treatment
facility,
I
think
in
the
millions
obviously
correct,
and
if
the
threshold
to
push
that
over
say
was
a
500
unit
facility.
C
Right
right,
but
but
but
now
we're
having
the
government
do
private
businesses
job
see
they're.
Going
back
to
my
statement
was
you
are
responsible
for
your
footprint.
So
if
the
government
has
to
go
and
say
well,
we're
going
to
you
know,
set
Project's
going
to
come
through
we'll
do
grants
we'll
do
late
work.
Every
time
you
guys
move
a
pencil
that
that
meter
is
running.
See
people
forget
that
too.
You
know
it's
not
just
the
private
guy
out
there,
the
engineer
who
costs
money.
C
You
know
staff
costs
money
as
well
and
then
that's
when
the
next
year
the
request
comes
in
well,
we
need
more
Staffing
because
of
XYZ
I
mean
it's
all
Domino's
right.
So
you
know
that's
what
I
say:
I
I
hear
you
and
not
that
I.
C
Just
don't
believe
you,
but
I
just
know
that
if,
if
say
a
500
unit
or
even
a
thousand
pushed
it
over
at
the
top
I,
don't
know
that's
enough
units
to
recoup
millions
of
dollars
not
including
the
upkeep
and
then
there's
the
the
pumps
that
go
bad
and
everything
else.
That
goes
with
that.
That
just
sounds
good
on
paper
say.
Well,
you
know
they're
going
to
pay
for
their
own
thing,
but
but
are
they
I
mean
it's
my
question?
Maybe
they
are,
but
that's
why
I'm
just
asking
the
question.
Y
And
so,
through
the
permitting
process,
you'll
figure
out
how
many
edus
are
actually
going
to
be
charged
for
that
development
site
and
whether
that
would
push
us
across
that
threshold,
and
we
would
have
that
before
we
entered
into
any
type
of
Public
Works
agreement
or
anything
like
that
of
that
nature.
That
would
actually
trigger
us
to
actually
then
begin
that
again.
This
is
a
three
years
three
year
repeated
requirement
of
80
percent.
C
Today,
though,
if
that
pushed
you
over
that
regulation
today,
the
only
recourse
you
have
at
the
end
of
six
years
just
go
ahead
and
do
it
and
go
back
to
the
I
mean
the
general
phone
well,
you'd
have
to
go
on.
Cip
you'd
have
to
go,
borrow
the
money
and
then
I
mean,
but
initial,
be
general
fund
usage
to
pay
that
up
startup
cost.
So
you
don't
have
enough
in
edus
up
front
to
cover
that
it's.
S
Y
I
will
tell
you,
though,
I
have
information
that
you
do
not,
though
okay
so
I'll
just
flat
out,
tell
you
now
that
we
we
are
below
60
in
actual
flow
for
Prince
Frederick
I'll,
just
tell
you
that
right
now,
in
fact,
most
of
the
plants,
all
the
plants
are
blue,
60
percent
and
the
reason
I
say
that
is,
if
you
go
back
and
it's
year-to-date,
we
went
back
and
did
the
math
and
did
the
analysis.
Y
I
can
actually
give
you
a
briefing
on
this
if
you'd
like
in
detail,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
it
turns
out
that
we're
well
below
60
we're
below
60,
and
if
you
compare
it,
people
are
back
at
work
now,
they're,
not
at
home
and
they're,
not
teleworking
and
things
of
that
nature.
That's
the
only
thing
that
we
can
account
for
right
now,
but
we
are
currently
well
below
that
60
threshold
we're
below
68
right
now
when
it
comes
to
flow
and
Prince
Frederick
did
you
say
below
68
or
below
60.
S
Y
Y
S
Y
So
when
I,
when
I
prevented
those
not
presented
those
numbers
to
you
in
April
right,
okay,
I
looked
at
21
and
22,
it
was
66
and
68
respectively
for
21
and
22
April
year
to
date.
Okay,
when
I
went
back
and
I
just
looked,
the
numbers
from
October
I
got
to
remember
the
exact
number
I,
don't
have
it
right
on
the
hand
I
looked
at
it
yesterday,
but
it's
like
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
like
56,
58
and
I'm,
just
being
honest
for
the
same
wastewater
treatment
plants
and
it
correlates
with
the
corresponding
water
data.
Y
Y
Y
And
I'll
pull
up
the
spreadsheet
as
soon
as
I
get
that
but
anyway,
so
this
is
for
sewer.
90
is
the
considered
to
be
adequate,
inadequate
same
thing.
We
correlated
it
with
the
water.
Ninety
percent
is
considered
to
be
inadequate,
okay
and
that
for
all
the
water
systems
that
we
run
in
Calvert
County,
so
storm
drain.
Essentially
without
reading
this
to
you,
it
has
to
be
the
same.
A
Y
If
I
remember
correctly,
it's
Atlas
14
that
we're
using
state
is
still
using
data,
that
is
from
like
the
1950s
or
60s,
but
they're
actually
updating
that
to
what
we're
currently
using
as
the
monitoring
of
those
flows
and
until
a
further
we'll
say,
comprehensive
publication
is
actually
published
by
the
department
of
the
environment.
Then
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
the
one
that's
actually
the
codified
document
that
we're
using
that's.
Y
Y
Y
X
Commissioners,
yes,
sir,
we
talked
Mark
Willis,
County
Administrator.
We
talked
about
the
priorities
as
we
see
then
today
that
we
would
present
to
State
it
could
be.
We
could
have
further
discussions,
as
we
put
as
we
finalize
that
letter
to
make
sure
that
maybe
one
of
our
priorities
is
to
have
a
State
road-wide
analysis
of
any
road
that
is
D
or
higher,
and
what
the
state
can
help
us
do
about
it
into
the
future
Because.
Unless
we
identify
that
as
one
of
our
major
concerns,
it's
never
going
to
be
one
of
their
major
concerns.
X
A
And
we
do
need
to
take
into
account
when
they
do
those
that
they
look
at
the
topography,
because
I
think
we've
got
a
bypass
running
through
the
middle
of
a
major
wetlands
area
that
I'm
not
sure
we
want
to
tackle,
so
it
just
seems
inefficient
to
say
we're
going
to
build
this
bypass
through
you
know,
and
that
ain't
going
to
happen.
You
know
we
should
be
realistic
in
what
we're
projecting
to
do.
A
X
I
realize
we're
actually
covering
two
different
discussions
that
we
already
had
today,
but
the
reality
is
if
we
look
at
what
it
would
cost
for
us
to
put
that
road
through
that
area.
You
just
spoke
of
that's
not
a
necessarily
a
state
contribution.
There
could
be
some,
but
not
necessarily
I
did
digress,
but
if
you
take
that
same
money
that
we
would
spend
and.
X
Yes,
yes,
sir,
and
propose
that
level
of
financial
contribution
to
assist
with
the
state
and
getting
our
roads
down
to
what
we
want.
Maybe
that's
a
catalyst
for
getting
it
moving
forward
at
the
state.
A
A
T
Y
Z
Our
primary
goal
is
to
provide
high
quality
fire
and
EMS
to
the
citizens
in
a
timely
manner.
The
adequacy
for
this
purpose
would
be
to
determine
response
time.
Statistics
measuring
the
time
between
when
a
resource
is
dispatched
until
they
arrive
on
the
scene
response
times
are
typically
in
direct
relation
to
a
distance
from
a
fire
and
EMS
station.
Z
Given
the
rural
demographics
of
the
county
response
times
can
also
be
affected
by
the
availability
of
resources
particularly
times
when
EMS
service
demands
are
excessive
and
or
we
have
significant
wait
times
to
transfer
patients
at
the
local
hospitals
service
response
criteria
would
be
considered
adequate
if
these
standards
are
met.
Z
Each
fire
and
EMS
company's
response
areas
are
sectioned
into
sub
areas
that
we
call
boxes.
These
box
areas
are
in
direct
relation
again
to
the
distance
from
the
particular
incident
from
the
company
station.
There
are
six
main
service
areas,
divided
into
92
boxes,
anywhere
from
10
to
about
26
sub
boxes
for
each
of
those
areas.
The
criteria
that
would
be
to
would
be
applied
to
the
development
of
commercial,
institutional,
industrial
and
major
subdivisions.
Z
Z
In
addressing
Emergency
Medical
Service
response
times
to
First,
do
these
sub
areas
known
as
boxes
areas?
The
development
proposed
would
be
as
follows:
EMS
response
time
to
a
box
where
development
is
proposed
for
basic
life
support
with
a
unit
with
a
equipped
with
an
AED
would
be
within
10
minute
response
time
to
at
least
90
percent
of
the
incidents
dispatched,
measured
on
an
annual
basis.
Z
The
response
time
EMS
response
time
for
a
unit
providing
Advanced
life
support
services
would
be
again
10
minutes
within
at
least
90
percent
of
the
incidences
measured
on
an
annual
basis.
The
meeting
of
the
90
time
threshold
comes
from
working
with
our
partners
in
technology,
Services,
GIS
mapping
for
each
of
the
fire
departments.
First,
two
areas
and
almost
almost
exclusively
all
the
areas
are
within
10
minutes
of
a
posted.
We
use
the
posted
speed
limit
plus
10
miles
per
hour
as
a
as
a
factor
from
the
station
to
the
outskirts
of
all.
Z
The
areas
is
almost
within
10
minutes
with
a
few
few
exceptions
and
those
are
in
low
population
density,
low
call,
density
areas
next
slide
or
the
response
for
fire
would
be
the
same
criteria.
With
the
exception
of
the
the
initial
company
arrival
would
be
measured,
the
fire
will
be
again
10
minutes
within
at
least
90
percent
of
the
incidents
dispatched
measured
annually
and
an
additional
criteria
for
fire
would
be
fire
flow
and
duration.
We
currently
have
in
the
County's
fire
prevention
code,
chapter
44,
section
15.
water
supply
is
where
development
would
be.
A
T
T
Z
We're
currently
working
you,
you,
you
receive
response
statistics
on
a
monthly
basis
for
the
major
box
areas
and
we've
been
spending
a
lot
of
time
with
the
software
development
to
do
it
in
the
sub
subsections
and
hopefully
we'll
have
that
wrapped
up
pretty
soon
in
in
the
major
population
density
areas.
It's
it's
not
an
issue
in
the
further
away.
The
other
Factor
comes
into
call
volume
and
usage.
I'll
give
you
an
example.
Z
Yesterday
morning
we
probably
had
six
calls
simultaneously,
four
or
five
of
which
were
in
the
actually
I
think
all
six
were
between
St
Leonard's
and
Solomon's
I
mean
literally,
it
was
just
unbelievable
and
then
the
the
ER
wait
times
and
and
Calvert
Health
Medical
Center
is
very
good
at
working
to
do
this.
Z
But
it's
not
unusual
that
you're
you're
waiting
a
significant
amount
of
time
to
offload
a
patient
and
it
could
be
upwards
of
over
an
hour
where
an
EMS,
unit's,
waiting
and
and
like
I
said
again,
I'll
give
credit
to
Calvert
Health
as
being
very
good.
But
it's
a
it's
a
systemic
problem
across
the
country
right
now,
Jim.
C
You
bring
up
a
great
point
that
I
had
forgotten
about
in
your
spot
on
people.
Think
that
ambulance
rolls
in
and
it's
drop
off
and
go
get
the
next
and
you're
absolutely
right.
The
wait
time
and
I'm
not
putting
this
on
the
hospital
right,
but
the
wait
time
and
even
with
law
enforcement.
When
law
enforcement
brings
someone
over
I've
heard
and
I'm
not
kidding
you
eight
to
ten
hours
in
some
incidents
that
law
enforcement
sitting
there
with
somebody
and
that
comes
into
play
going
back.
C
I
said
earlier
today,
I
know
when
we're
talking
about
but
like
there's
a
shortage
of
nurses,
things
of
that
nature.
It's
it's
and
all
these
things
come
into
play.
Commissioner,
hands
is
exactly
right,
I,
don't
know
how
you
put
that
into
verbiage
when
you're
putting
it
on
a
document
to
where
this
is.
This
is
part
of
your
ordinance,
because
I
mean
you,
you
know
firsthand
I
mean
you
drive
an
ambulance
up
there
and
you've
got
three
more
calls
to
get
to,
but
you
can't
leave
exactly.
Z
Great
a
great
degree
excuse
me
a
great
degree
to
continue
to
monitor
all
the
hospitals
and
it
wouldn't
be
unusual
for,
in
the
southern
end
of
the
county,
to
go
to
St,
Mary's
and
and
or
into
the
northern
end
of
the
counties.
But
we'll
we'll
have
factors
where.
Obviously,
if
we're
doing
that
and
that's
a
common
practice
and
it's
and
it's
acceptable
that
the
urban
areas
are
bringing
patients
into
Calvert,
County
and.
C
I've
heard
that
especially
a
lot
during
covet
and
I,
don't
know
how
you
so
to
speak,
regulate
that
I
mean
because
they
are
a
private
business.
You
know
they're,
not
a
county
business,
so
I,
don't
know
how
you
say
well,
who
you
taking,
who
you
don't
take
and
or.
Z
Are
it
all
become
because
under
come
our
title
30
as
far
as
for
EMS
operations?
So
we
have
the
ability
to
place
the
hospital
on
reroute,
which
would
mean
that
that
we
would
def
if
we
were,
if
we
have
patients
waiting.
C
Z
A
lot
of
it's
not
able
to
be
predicted,
I
think
a
lot
of
times
the
the
Monday
after
a
holiday,
I.
P
Z
Sure
holiday
is
usually
busy
families
in
in
the
town,
but
again
we're
dealing
with
emergencies,
because
so
you
can't
necessarily
predict
when
somebody's
going
to
fall
or
have
a
heart
attack,
or
something
like
that.
So
you
know
it's
it.
I
can
certainly
say
that
daytime's
a
lot
busier
than
night
time.
People
are
up
and
more
active,
but
is
as
far
as
it's
a
flip
of
a
coin.
Sometimes
you
know
I
mean
I
could
say
right
now
and
we
could
have
no
calls
or
we
could
have
six
going
on
right
now.
Z
Z
AA
C
At
nine
for
one
and
then
at
11
for
another
I
mean
it's
all
like
say
six
at
the
same
time,
I
mean
right
and
all
these
things
you
know
come
into
play
and
hence
why
we're
talking
about
it
today
and
really.
This
discussion
probably
needed
to
happen
20
years
ago,
when
we
were
building
schools
all
the
time
like
that,
somebody
should
have
pulled
the
crystal
ball
out
and
go
well.
This
is
great,
but
then
what.
Z
C
Z
What
department
is
from
I
want?
It.
C
Here
now,
but
here's
the
thing
with
that:
okay,
great
right,
Amos
gets
there
because
Hospital
dimwit
I
mean
riding
the
back's
great
and
we
got
a
lot
of
facilities.
This
is
not
the
same
ambulance
that
was
your
grandfather's
ambulance.
I
get
that
right,
but
but
the
tools
and
the
Machinery
they
need
is
inside
that
big
building.
Well,.
Z
Z
C
Z
C
And
that's
just
the
purpose
of
this
whole
discussion
is
that
in
my
book
we're
already
there
I
mean
you
know
everybody
keeps
trying
to
find
some
loophole.
Well,
you
know
if
we
jockey
this
around
you're
already
there
so
as
to
how
not
to
make
the
Next
Generation
hate
living
here.
How
do
we
protect
this
way
of
life
that
that
we've
enjoyed,
and,
but
you
know
and
and
anybody
wants
to
push
back
on-
that
is
hey
everybody's-
got
their
own
opinion,
but
to
me
the
quality
of
life
trumps,
it
all.
E
V
We
discussed
the
last
time
we
presented
this.
This
proposed
amendment
isn't
isn't
one
that
you
can
take
like
Public
Works,
where
you're
you're
looking
ahead
of
time
to
say
this
is
going
to
impact
this
way.
This
is
really
after
the
fact,
similar
to
the
fire
and
rescue
proposed
amendments
where
we're
going
to
look
after
the
fact
and
do
an
analysis
to
see
what
the
impact
was
to
see
if
we're
still
adequately
staffed.
So
we
used
National
organizations
that
have
Staffing
models
as
our
recommendation
we're
recommending
that
the
number
one
Center
is
considered
adequately
staffed.
E
W
Brent
Parrott
with
the
Sheriff's
Office,
as
presented
before
to
Garner
our
information.
We
use
a
deputy
sworn
staff
ratio
to
a
thousand
residents
of
1.5.
That
information
was
garnered
at
a
previous
Staffing
study
with
those
with
that
formula.
At
this
time,
there's
no
identify
commercial
data
to
assist.
With
this
recommendation,
the
Calvert
County
government
continues
to
receive
a
residential
commercial
development
applications.
W
W
Using
this
particular
formula
would
necessitate
138
sworn
deputies
within
our
agency.
We
currently
are
sitting
at
about
168,
and
that
gives
us
about
a
ratio
of
1.82
deputies
per
thousand
residents
that
does
include
our
Court
deputies.
W
Last
year
of
2021,
we
ran
approximately
74
000
calls
for
service
sorry
service,
I
know
last
time,
commissioner
Hans
you
had
asked
about
a
response
time.
That's
something
we'd
have
to
work
on,
there's
so
many
different
variables,
as
mentioned
with
emergency
services,
that
we
would
need
to
come
to
that
conclusion.
What
that
data
would
be,
it's
really
all
I
have.
If
you
have
any
questions
for
me,.
T
Mary
Beth
cook,
director
of
Planning
and
Zoning
joining
me
now,
is
Jenny
Plummer
Welker,
our
long-range
planner,
to
discuss
the
public
hearing.
The
Commissioners
are
holding
tonight
at
6
30
regarding
the
reduction
of
town
center
expansions
that
were
proposed
in
the
adopted
Calvert
County
comprehensive
plan,
good.
AA
AA
So
tonight
is
the
scheduled
public
hearing
on
the
proposed
amendment
to
the
Calvert
County
comprehensive
plan.
We
held
work
sessions
with
you
at
your
request
in
June
and
so
I'm,
going
to
briefly
go
through
the
slides
and
I'll
probably
spend
a
little
more
time
this
evening
on
them
because
we'll
probably
have
a
larger
audience,
but
the
steps
I
want
to
review
briefly
the
steps
in
the
adoption
process
to
change
the
county
comprehensive
plan.
The
board
of
County
Commissioners
are
scheduled
to
hold
the
public
hearing
this
evening
and
then
at
the
conclusion
of
the
oral
testimony.
AA
You
have
a
decision
to
make
whether
to
keep
the
record
open
and,
if
so,
for
how
long
or
to
close
the
record
that
night
after
that
decision,
you
can
then
discuss
the
proposed
amendments
and
then
take
action
on
them
based
upon
state
law.
You
can
modify
those
or
adopt
them,
as
is
send
it
back
to
the
Planning
Commission
for
modification
or
just
reject
the
proposed
amendments.
Those
are
your
four
options:
County
comprehensive
plan
sets
forth
the
vision
and
is
the
County's
overall
policy
document.
AA
We
talk
about
the
seven
Town
centers
I
will
just
note,
there's.
Actually
nine
North,
Beach
and
Chesapeake
Beach
are
considered
Town
centers
in
the
County's
comprehensive
plan,
but
because
they
have
their
own
Planning
and
Zoning
Authority.
They
don't
come
under
the
County's
purview,
the
commissioner's
purview,
so
the
ones
that
the
Commissioners
talked
about
in
June,
the
Commissioners
decided
to
make
to
direct
staff
to
pursue
amending
the
comprehensive
plan
for
four
of
the
Town
centers.
The
three
that
are
Commissioners
decided
not
to
pursue
changing,
are
Dunkirk
Owings
and
St
Leonard.
AA
Owings
Town
Center,
the
expansion
that
would
eventually
happen
based
upon
the
adopted
comprehensive
plan,
is
that
Owings
would
extend
across
Maryland
260.
for
Saint
Leonard.
The
comprehensive
plan
says
to
eventually
expand
St
Leonard
to
the
southeast
to
include
what
the
Saint
Leonard
Elementary
School,
and
this
is
as
it
was
adopted
in
the
for
a
future
expansion
in
the
2013
Saint
Leonard
master
plan,
which
had
a
lot
of
public
input.
AA
Moving
on
to
those
that
are
proposed
to
change,
Huntingtown
The
Proposal,
the
Commissioners
wanted
to
see
was
to
remove
the
future
expansion
of
Huntingtown,
so
the
area
in
green,
which
is
across
Maryland
2-4,
would
be
removed
for
Prince
Frederick.
This
is
a
close-up
of
the
county,
comprehensive
plan,
future
land
use
plan
map
and
so
for
Prince
Frederick.
This
is
a
close-up.
AA
The
map
on
the
left
is
from
the
adopted
plan
and
it
shows
in
dark
purple
the
current
Town
Center
plus
phase
one
and
then
phase
two
expansion
out
towards
the
community
college
and
Stafford
Road
is
in
the
light
purple
the
proposed
changes
and
I
apologize.
The
colors
are
a
bit
different,
but
the
the
bright
purple
on
the
right
is
the
current
Town,
Center
boundary
of
town
center
area
and
the
area
and
the
lighter
pink
is
the
expansion
area
as
it.
AA
AA
As
a
result,
the
areas
that
are
immediately
that
were
part
of
that
phase
two
have
been
assigned
either
the
orange
color,
which
is
residential
or
the
blue
color
for
the
areas
out
towards
Stafford
Road,
which
is
an
industrial
category,
the
proposed
in
the
comprehensive
plan
it
talks
about
having
various
types
of
industrial,
including
mixed
use,
so
not
heavy
but
allows
for
office
uses
and
other
uses
that
are
similar
to
the
employment
center.
That
is
there
now
moving
on
to
Solomon's
and
Lusby.
The
map
on
the
left
is
a
close-up
from
the
comprehensive
plan.
AA
It
shows
expansion,
areas
in
between
Lusby
and
Solomons
that
will
go
away
and
the
area
that
is
I'll
move
to
the
map
to
the
right.
Now.
The
areas
in
green
are
areas
that
were
proposed
to
be
expanded
into,
or
at
least
considered
for
that
area
between
lesbian
Solomons,
so
the
green
areas
would
be
removed
from
any
future
expansion,
so
that
includes
the
Eastern
side
of
the
Dow
Peninsula.
That's
currently
not
in
the
Town
Center
it
in
the
adopted
plan.
It
was
to
be
expanded
to
include
now.
It
would
not
thank.
AA
That
no
expansion
between
lesbian
Solomons,
the
I,
would
like
to
point
out
that
the
area
on
the
north
side
of
Lusby,
between
Maryland
2-4
and
that
765.,
that
includes
the
Patuxent,
Business,
Park
and
also
the
park
and
ride
and
the
storage,
contain
storage
units.
That
is
proposed
to
remain
as
an
expansion
area.
For.
C
Lusby-
and
you
know
Jenny,
if
you
remember
this
morning,
Jeff
from
the
museum
was
talking
about.
You
know
all
the
historic
stuff
down
and
down.
That's
why
it's
so
important
too.
You
know
to
preserve
these
things.
You
know
because
Dow
is
very
integral
I
mean
it's,
it's
historic,
it's
the
fabric
of
of
the
county,
and
you
know
so
it's
just
it's
so
important
that
these
distinct
places
stay
to
me
anyway.
You
know
that
so
so
good,
it's
good
news!
Happy
birthday!
Thank
you.
AA
Moving
on
this
table
shows
the
areas
of
the
adopted,
comprehensive
plan
that
are
proposed
to
change.
It
includes
the
executive
summary
there's
a
map
in
there
of
the
future
land
use
table
of
contents.
It
mentioned
about
the
phasing
of
Prince
Frederick.
Well,
they're,
no
longer
be
phasing
they're
just
be
the
expansion
area.
Chapter
3
had
the
most
extensive
proposed
changes,
and
that
includes
both
text
and
maps
and
then
in
transportation.
There
is
a
map
of
the
road
classifications
and
that
shows
the
the
future
silhouettes
of
the
expansionaries.
AA
So
that
was
changed
to
show
that
just
those
that
would
match
these
the
current
map
from
the
plan
and
then
the
proposed
map.
So
it
shows
a
lot
larger
Orange
area
around
Prince
Frederick,
because
that
phase
two
area
goes
away
and
then
also
around
Lusby
and
Solomons,
and
then
I
mentioned
the
industrial
areas.
The
current
map
of
Prince
Frederick
would
change
to
to
this.
I
would
note
that
there
was.
We
retained
a
tiny
little
sliver
that
was
part
of
the
phase.
AA
One
expansion
is
still
part
of
the
expansion,
that's
south
of
Stokely
Road
and
East
of
Prince,
Frederick,
Boulevard,
so
tiny
little
piece
there
and
we
followed
parcel
boundaries
instead
of
splitting
Parcels
on
the
very
Southwest,
which
is
on
the
other
side
of
one
of
the
utility
lines.
P
C
C
So
I
know
this
is
a
little
early
because
it's
not
the
last
meeting
with
this
board,
but
we're
close
so
I
wanted
to
thank
commissioner
gadway.
C
You
know
a
commissioner
I've
only
been
on
two
boards,
commissioner,
leaving
in
the
middle
was
different
for
me,
and
I
was
very
curious
how
he
was
going
to
respond,
because
the
train
doesn't
stop.
You
know
so
I
mean
it
will.
It
always
goes
and
when
we're
not
here,
it
will
keep
going
and
I.
I
was
I,
shouldn't,
say
surprised
after
knowing
Chris
now,
but
knowing
nothing
at
all
about
Chris.
C
How
fast
you
adapted
came
on
asked
a
lot
of
hard
questions,
and
so
a
different
side
of
of
County
government
and
I
thought
you
did
a
fantastic
job.
C
My
personal
opinion
I
thought
that
it's
not
easy
and
I
thought
you
did
a
a
an
incredible
job
of
coming
into
something
that
was
already
moving
and
I.
Think
you
should
be
very
proud
of
the
work
that
you
put
in
to
it
and
I
wanted
to.
Thank
you
for
that.
Commissioner
Weems.
C
D
C
Our
Lady
Star
of
the
Sea
so
and
we
have
a
lot
in
common
in
life
as
far
as
what
we
do
for
a
living
to
our
friends,
family
we
have
so
much
in
common
and
commissioner
Williams,
you
have
been
more
than
a
friend
you've
been
an
example
of
how
to
do
this
job
with
class
and
dignity.
We
joke
that
that
public
comment
is
on
Tuesday's
public
comments,
saying
to
they
know
our
vehicle.
C
You
ask
people
what
Steve
Williams
drives
they'll
tell
you
what
Steve
Williams
drives
and
they
know
if
it's
at
that
store
or
not.
I've
tried
to
think
of
how
many
ways
to
to
put
it
into
word.
Steve
I,
I
still
can't
come
up
with
the
amount
of
work
for
the
eight
years
of
guidance
that
you
have
provided
me
personally
and
it's
funny
because
people
go,
you
and
Steve
are
buddies.
Gosh.
We
very
rarely
ever
vote
the
same
way.
C
You
know
you
know
and,
and-
and
you
know,
I
probably
most
of
the
time
he's
probably
right-
you
know
so
you
know
it's.
We've
had
a
lot
of
discussions
over
eight
years.
He
inspired
me
eight
years
ago
that
this
was
something
that
I
wanted
to
do.
I
didn't
know
if
I
could
do
it,
but
many
many
conversations
you
know
and
help
me
have
the
courage
to
do
it
and
I
mean
I.
C
Tell
you
Steve,
I,
just
I,
don't
know
the
words
besides
friendship,
professional
respect,
I
I
mean
Steve,
your
Class
Act,
you
know,
I
mean
and
I
mean
that
and
and
I
know
your
family
and
I
know
what
they
go
through.
C
Like
I
say
our
lives
are
are
very,
very
similar.
In
so
many
ways
I
mean
we
both
have
three
rescue
dogs.
How
weird
is
that
you
know
I
mean
it's
just
it's
you
just
it's!
It's
I
can't!
Thank
you
enough.
This
County
is
not
losing
you.
Obviously
you
will
still
be
down
the
street.
You
know,
but
but
I
mean
I
I
tell
you
Steve
just
class.
You
know,
I
was
trying
to
think
what
what
word
can
I
put
in
his
class.
C
You,
you
never
disrespect
this
seat
and
you
truly
understand
what
what
it
comes
with
it
I
mean
whether
good
comments
come
at
you
bad
comments.
You've,
never
disrespected
Calvert.
County
or
the
seat
and
I
personally
am
going
to
miss
you
tremendously
I,
just
like
say
enough
words
Steve
and
thank
you
for
everything
you've
done
for
me.
E
S
Commissioner
Hart
thank
you
for
the
kind
words
I'll
I'll
reply
to
him.
In
a
couple
weeks:
okay,
okay
I,
had
the
opportunity
last
week
to
attend
a
Girl
Scout
Advance
advancement
ceremony
with
president
Hance
had
a
great
time
there.
S
They
did
have
cookies
afterwards,
but
they
weren't
Girl
Scout
cookies.
They
were
homemade
cookies.
C
S
D
Yes,
sir
Mr
President,
thank
you
again.
Mike
heartfelt
and
I
too,
want
to
extend
my
condolences
to
the
hook
family
for
their
loss.
That's
all
I
have
sir.
A
So,
as
commissioner
Agway
mentioned
Friday
week
ago,
he
and
I
attended
a
Girl
Scout
ceremony
where
12
young
ladies
got
the
silver
award,
which
is
quite
commendable,
and
they
didn't
have
any
Girl
Scout
cookies.
But
a
birdie
told
me
Sunday
they're,
coming
here
in
March
to
give
us
some
more
cookies.
So
we
just
have
to
look
forward
to
that.
A
I
too,
would
extend
my
condolences
to
the
hook.
Family
Mr
hook
never
taught
me
in
school,
but
he
was
certainly
there
while
I
was
in
school,
so
he
certainly
was
gave
his
life
to
the
educational
system.
Coward
County
a
lot
of
students
helped
them
along
the
way,
so
we're
going
to
miss
Miss
Mr
hook,
as
was
mentioned
earlier
today,
is
commissioner
Hart's
birthday
and
delegate
Jerry
Clark
and
commissioner
elect
Todd,
Ireland
I,
don't
know
what
that
says
about
today.
I'll
hold
my
comments.
E
Q
A
Those
three
individuals,
a
very
happy
birthday
and
put
in
a
plug
for
the
Christmas
event
on
this
coming
Saturday
December,
the
3rd
here
at
Prince
Frederick
at
the
King's
Park
over
on
Church
Street
from
11
to
five
Santa
will
be
there.
They
have
a
lot
of
vendors
last
year.
It
was
a
great
great
event.
It
was
a
lot
of
people
there,
so
I
hope
they
have
good
weather.
We
have
another
good
turnout
and
I
believe.
That's
all
I
have
today
and
remind
everybody.
