There's
one
public

for
this
evening
at
6
30.,
it
was
duly
advertised
and
the
certificate
of
publication
is
made
part
of
the
record
for
this
hearing.
So
this
is
we're
invited
to
provide
comment
on
any
or
all
of
the
hearings.
After
each
presentation
has
concluded,
the
hearing
may
have
a
separate
comment
period
following
a
brief
presentation.
Anyone
here
must
sign
in
at
the
sign
up
sheets
next
to
the
entry
door.
C
Thank
you
good
evening.
My
name
is
Jenny
Plummer
Welker
long
range
planner
with
Calvert
County,
Planning
and
Zoning
I'm
joined
this
evening
by
Mary
Beth
cook,
director,
Carolyn,
Sunderland,
deputy
director
for
planning
and
then
also
the
other
long-range
staff,
Jessica,
gatano
and
Kat
long
excuse
me
Lockwood,
who
greeted
people
at
the
front.
C
The
purpose
of
this
public
hearing
is
to
receive
comments
regarding
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
Calvert
County
comprehensive
plan,
which
was
adopted
in
August
2019..
The
proposed
amendments
would
reduce
or
eliminate
the
expansions.
The
future
expansions
for
Huntingtown
Prince,
Frederick,
Lusby
and
Solomons.
C
The
board
of
County
Commissioners
held
two
work
sessions
in
June
and
directed
staff
to
pursue
amendments
for
those
four
Town
centers
and
decided
to
retain
the
future
expansions
for
Dunkirk
Owings
and
St.
Leonard
staff
met
with
the
Planning
Commission
in
July
to
inform
the
Planning
Commission
of
the
board's
directive,
and
then
staff
returned
to
the
Planning
Commission
in
August
to
seek
the
planning
commission's
Direction
to
move
forward
with
the
proposed
amendments.
C
The
Planning
Commission
held
its
public
hearing
on
November,
2nd
In,
This,
Very
Room
and
at
the
conclusion
of
the
testimony,
the
Planning
Commission
voted
to
close
the
record
and
then
to
find
the
proposed
amendments
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
to
accept
the
proposal
and
move
it
forward
to
the
County
Commissioners.
The
planning
commission's
resolution
states
that
the
Planning
Commission
quote
recommends
that
the
board
of
County
commissioners
of
Calvert
County
adopt
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
Calvert
County
comprehensive
plan.
C
You
have
the
staff
memorandum
that
you
received
in
advance
of
the
meeting.
It
includes
the
public
hearing
legal
notice,
the
draft
ordinance
that
would
adopt
the
proposed
amendments
and
Exhibits
a
which
is
the
markup
copy
of
the
Amendments
and
exhibit
B,
which
is
the
clean
copy,
plus
tonight's
presentation
slides.
C
So
at
this
point,
I
will
begin
the
slideshow
presentation
we'll
follow
that
with
public
comments.
People
are
invited
to
sign
up
if
they
have
not
already.
The
sign
up
sheet
is
on
the
podium
in
the
hearing
room
and
then
staff's
recommendation
in
the
board's
action,
so
we're
holding
the
public
meeting
this
evening.
So
that's
number
one
at
the
conclusion
of
the
public
testimony.
The
board
has
two
options.
C
You
can
close
the
record
or
keep
the
record
open
for
a
set
amount
of
time
that
you
determine
then
to
discuss
the
discuss
the
Amendments
and
then
take
action.
As
I
mentioned
this
morning,
you
can
vote
to
approve
the
proposed
amendments
to
modify
them
to
send
them
back
to
the
Planning
Commission
or
to
reject
the
amendments.
C
This
is
a
map
of
the
county
with
the
town
centers
highlighted
I'd
like
to
note
that
North,
Beach
and
Chesapeake
Beach
are
considered
Town
centers,
but
since
they're
municipalities
with
their
own
Planning
and
Zoning
Authority,
the
County
Commissioners
do
not
have
authority
in
what
happens
in
the
town
centers,
the
other
ones
move
on
to
the
next
Slide.
The
Commissioners
decided
to
keep
Dunkirk
Owings
and
St
Leonard,
as
adopted
with
the
expansion
areas
and
to
change
Huntingtown
Prince
Frederick,
lesbian
Solomons
I
will
note
with
the
comprehensive
plan
the
call
for
the
future
expansions.
C
C
C
C
Moving
on
this
is
where
we
move
into
the
changes
Huntingtown
and
the
adopted
plan.
The
map
on
the
left
is
a
close-up
from
the
plan.
Huntingtown
would
no
longer
be
expanded
to
the
east,
so
the
area
in
the
hatch
screen
would
be
removed
from
the
expansion
area,
so
Huntingtown
would
stay
on
the
west
side
of
Maryland
2-4
there'd
be
some
minor
adjustments
to
follow
property
boundaries.
C
Prince
Frederick.
This
is
a
close-up
of
the
map
from
the
comprehensive
plan
and
then
on.
The
left
is
also
a
map
from
the
comprehensive
plans
showing
in
the
dark
purple.
The
current
Town
Center
plus
phase
one
expansion,
which
was
zoning,
that
was
employment
center
around
the
town
or
residential
and
then
the
light
purple
which
would
expand
it
out
to
the
Stafford
Road
area
and
then
area
to
the
southeast,
which
is
between
765
and
Maryland
2-4.
C
The
map
on
the
right
is
the
proposed
map
that
reduces
the
expansion
area.
The
light
purple
is
the
area
that's
immediately
adjacent
to
the
town
center,
then
also
some
adjustments
to
property
boundaries
to
follow
the
property
boundaries
on
this
map.
It
shows
the
close-up
from
the
comprehensive
plan
on
the
left,
with
Lusby
and
Solomon's,
and
the
hatched
area
showing
the
potential
future
expansionary
between
those
two
on
the
right.
C
The
green
hatched
area
are
the
areas
that
are
proposed
to
be
removed
from
the
future
expansion,
so
that
includes
the
area
between
Solomons
and
Lusby,
Town
centers
and
then
also
the
east
side
of
the
Dow
Peninsula.
That's
currently
not
in
the
Town
Center
that
would
be
removed
from
the
future
expansion
area.
The
area
on
the
north
side
of
Lusby
would
be
retained
for
a
future
expansion,
and
that
includes
Patuxent,
Business,
Park
the
park
and
ride
and
the
storage
area.
So
it's
that
area
between
765
and
Maryland
2-4.

over

now,
I
serve

I

speaking
on
its
behalf
here
tonight,

owns
over
1600
acres
in
The,
Parkers,
Creek
Watershed,
just
a
little
south

east
of

and
we
have

E
E
Aclt
has
specifically
expressed
concerns
about
the
adverse
impacts
on
County
streams,
wetlands
and
steep
slopes,
so
we
hope
that
you'll
follow
through
with
your
initiative
that
was
started
a
few
months
ago.
Adoptees
proposed
changes
to
the
comprehensive

you

much.

My
thanks
to
the
Commissioners
for
this
night.
During
the
preparation
of
the
plan,
Consultants
heard
loud
and
clear
that
rural
lands
at
Chesapeake
and
waterways
were
the
things
that
they
that
citizens
most
loved
about
Calvert
County
check
up
page
five.
Six
traffic
congestion
was
one
of
the
biggest
concerns
on
page
seven,
three
of
the
plan.
F
Yes,
that's
on
page
14
of
the
transportation
plan
through
the
whole
comprehensive
planning
process,
controversial
Transportation,
Transportation
plan
process,
Consultants
never
came
up
with
a
feasible
plan
to
address
daily
traffic,
congestion
or
God
forbid
and
emergency
evacuation,
and
that
was
before
all
the
additional
households.
The
comprehensive
plan
is
the
County's
most
important
policy
document,
but
it
is
not
Implement
itself
in
abundant
sections
of
the
planet
suggests
that
zoning
planning
and
infrastructure
changes,
but
it
also
notes
in
many
places
at
the
public
will
have
it
say
before
the
policy
suggestions
are
put
in
place.
F
G
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Frank
McPhillips
1611,
Meadow,
Oaks
Lane
in
Huntington
I'm
representing
the
friends
of
Hunting
Creek,
the
friends
of
Hunting
Creek
support
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
2019
comprehensive
plan
which
will
reduce
or
eliminate
the
expansion
of
several
Town
centers
of
Calvert
County.
My
comments
were
largely
focused
on
Prince
Frederick,
given
its
impact
on
the
hunting
Creek
Watershed.
G
G
G
That
we've
seen
along
Prince,
Frederick
Boulevard
and
the
soon
to
be
Magnolia,
Ridge
and
other
plan
developments
nearby
do
not
really
fit
that
bill,
and
the
bulk
of
the
businesses
that
have
been
attracted
to
the
area
are
not
really
major
employers
and
largely
do
not
contribute
to
local
Revenue
they're,
generally
retailer
fast
food
and
mostly
accessed
off
the
main
artillery
arterial,
that
is
Route
four,
which
has
made
traffic
only
worse.
There's
only
there's
also
well
known
that
the
fees
and
taxes
that
dwelling
units
contribute
to
revenues
do
not
equal
the
services
consumed
by
their
residents.
G
G
In
some,
we
request
that
the
county
commissioner's
support
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
comp
plan
regarding
the
reduction
of
the
Town
Center
expansions.
We
also
ask
that
the
county
seriously
consider
evaluating
future
planned
growth
with
greater
consideration
of
the
lasting
negative
impacts
that
may
come
along
with
it,
along
alongside
any
perceived
benefits.
Thank
you.

Good
evening
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Joseph
Cormier
I'm
at
920,
when
Sam
Owings,
Place
knowings
Maryland
I,
want
first
want
to
thank
you
for
having
an
evening
meeting
it's
great,
to
see
a
room
full
of
other
counting
people
here
to
to
voice
their
things,
gets
kind
of
lonely
with
just
me
and
Bob
On
A
Tuesday
meeting
at
10
o'clock.
As
far
as
this
plan
to
push
everything
back,
I
agree
with
it.
H
I
would
just
say
about
the
hunting
Town,
not
including
Huntingtown
high
school,
and
that
plan
I
don't
agree
with
because,
as
you
say,
commissioner
Hart
every
time
somebody
has
to
touch
a
pen
or
a
piece
of
paper.
It
costs
us
money
if
we
can
include
them
in
the
Town
Center
to
keep
us
from
having
to
apply
for
a
waiver
later
and
that's
one
less
piece
of
paper.
We
have
to
pay
for
someone
to
push,
but
otherwise
my
wife
grew
up
here,
a
recent
transplant
of
the
last
eight
years.
I
Members
of
KCC
applaud
the
changes
you
will
be
making
by
removing
the
expansions
of
the
four
Town
centers
from
the
comprehensive
plan.
Commissioner
Hance
on
at
least
two
occasions
you
have
longingly
shared
with
me.
What
life
was
like,
as
you
were
growing
up
in
Calvert
County?
Sadly,
those
days
are
gone.
Commissioner
Hart
you
share
often
about
your
children
growing
up
and
playing
ball
here
in
the
county.
At
this
very
moment,
the
future
of
the
county
is
in
your
hands.
