Good
evening,
I'm
Mary
Beth
cook,
director
of
Planning
and
Zoning
I,
didn't
prepare
a
list
of
Staff
but
I'll
try
to
catch
everyone
with
us
this
evening
is
the
Planning
Commission
administrator,
Tamara
Blake
Wallace
and,
with
her
is
Lisa
Shepard,
who
is
filling
in
as
our
moderator
we
have
Becky
Parkinson
as
the
Planning
Commission
Clerk.
We
also
have
John
Mattingly,
as
serving
as
our
County
attorney
for
the
Planning
Commission
and
Jenny
Plummer
Welker
long
range
planner.
D
So
the
purpose
of
this
public
hearing
is
to
provide
a
help,
the
public,
an
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
proposed
changes
to
the
2019
comprehensive
plan.
This
hearing
is
being
held
per
the
Border
County
Commissioner's
adopted
guidelines
for
conduct
at
public
hearings
and
meetings
per
resolution.
6-89.
This
hearing
has
been
properly
advertised
as
required
by
law.
The
board
adopted
a
resolution
in
1989
intending
to
maintain
the
order
and
decorum
of
governmental
processes.
A
copy
is
found
on
the
table
back
outside
the
door.
D
The
ethics
commission
has
asked
that
we
remind
speakers
at
the
public
comment
that
lobbyists,
including
those
who
seek
to
influence
public
policy
and
lobbyists,
must
require
an
advance.
Since
this
public
hearing
is
being
held
virtually
and
in
person,
the
public
can
attend
by
viewing
the
live
stream
on
the
County's
website.
However,
if
you
wish
to
speak,
you
must
either
sign
in
on
the
sheet
to
my
left
or
use
the
raised
hand
function
if
you're
attending
by
Zoom
or
you
can
call
in
at
888-475-4499
or.
D
Speakers
who
are
providing
comments,
as
individually
will
be
allocated
two
minutes
comments
being
made
by
designated.
Representatives
of
a
group
will
be
allotted
five
minutes
and
I'll
be
sitting
right
next
to
the
microphone
with
the
timer
and
we'll.
Let
you
know
when
you
have
about
30
seconds
left
at
this
time,
Jenny
Plummer
Walker
is
going
to
take
us
through
the
presentation.
F
The
proposed
amendments
would
reduce
or
eliminate
the
future
expansions
of
the
Town
centers
for
Huntington
Lusby,
Prince,
Frederick
and
Solomons.
The
board
of
County
Commissioners
held
two
work
sessions
in
June
2022.
It
was
SATs
with
staff
to
discuss
the
proposed,
discuss
amending
the
comprehensive
plan.
F
The
proposed
amendments
as
directed
requested
comments
on
the
proposed
amendments
and
inform
the
agencies
in
adjoining
jurisdictions
that
the
public
hearing
would
not
be
held
prior
to
November.
1St
and
I
just
want
to
mention
for
the
memorandum
that
you
have
this
evening.
That
includes
the
public
hearing
notice
the
table
listing
the
proposed
sections
for
the
Amendments
comments
that
were
received
from
the
agencies
by
October
14th
comments
received
from
the
public
by
October
14th
procedures
for
public
comment
and
the
presentation
slides.
F
Since
then,
for
the
comments
that
we
received
between
October
15th
and
close
of
business
yesterday,
you
received
those
from
both
and
then
the
comments
that
we
received
between
close
of
business
yesterday
and
close
of
business.
Today.
Those
comments
will
be
included
in
the
planet
commission's
future
November
agenda
packet
so
that
they'll
be
available
for
the
public.
To
view
also
now
to
begin
the
presentation
by
staff,
the
comprehensive
plan
identifies
nine
Town
centers.
Two
of
them
are
the
municipalities
of
North
Beach
and
Chesapeake
Beach,
which
have
their
own
Planning
and
Zoning
Authority.
F
In
the
work
sessions
held
on
June,
7th
and
June
28th,
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
decided
to
retain
the
future
expansions
for
Dunkirk,
Owings
and
St
Leonard,
and
then
directed
staff
and
they're
identified
in
the
red,
whereas
the
ones
that
are
not
changing
do
not
have
proposed.
Changes
are
in
blue.
The
ones
in
red
are
proposed
to
be
amended.
Huntingtown,
Prince,
Frederick,
lesby
and
Solomons.
F
They
are
a
formal
process
that
must
be
followed
to
make
those
amendments
through
the
updates
to
the
town
center
Master
plans
and
their
Town
Center
Maps,
plus
the
county-wide
zoning
map.
So
first
we'll
review
the
town
centers
very
briefly
with
no
changes
that
includes
Dunkirk.
So
the
future
expansion
to
the
Northwest,
which
is
the
Dunkirk
District
park
in
the
Northeast,
stay
the
same
for
Owings.
The
future
expansion
across
Maryland
260
stays
the
same
and
for
St
Leonard.
F
The
future
expansion
which
was
approved
in
the
St
Leonard
Master
Plan
update,
would
stay
the
same
now
for
the
ones
that
are
proposed
to
be
amended,
we'll
look
at
Huntingtown.
First,
the
map
shows,
on
the
right
hand,
side
on
the
east
side
of
Maryland
2
for
the
area
in
the
hatched.
Green
is
the
future
expansion
area.
That's
proposed
to
be
removed.
F
That
area
includes
land
that
zoned
rural,
commercial,
residential
district
and
rural
community,
and
it
includes
the
Huntingtown
high
school
as
noted,
and
continue
South
to
the
church
property
at
the
southeast
corner
of
Maryland.
24
and
Cox
Road,
so
in
this
case
it
would
remove
the
expansion
in
its
entirety.
There
would
be
some
minor
adjustments,
as
noted
on
the
west
side,
for
following
parcel
boundaries.
F
F
The
dark
purple
area
is
the
current
Town,
Center
boundary
plus
phase
one
and
the
light
purple
is
the
future
expansion
for
phase
two
moving
on
the
map
on
the
right
is
the
map
we
just
looked
at.
So
that's
the
adopted
map.
The
map
on
the
left
is
the
proposed
change,
so
it
reduces
the
amount
of
expansion
area.
F
The
bright
purple
is
the
current
Town
Center
area
and
the
light
purple
is
essentially
the
phase
one
that
would
be
the
future
expansion
area
plus
a
little
there's,
a
small
sliver
on
the
east
side
of
Prince
Frederick,
Boulevard,
South
of
Stokely
Road,
and
then
there's
some
Parcels
that
are
currently
split
by
the
utility
Corridor.
Those
would
be
on
the
southwest
side.
They
would
be
included
in
the
expansion
moving
on
to
Solomon's
and
Lusby.
The
map
on
the
left
is
from
the
county-wide
map.
F
In
the
comprehensive
plan,
the
hatched
area
between
lesbian
settlements
is
the
potential
future
expansion
area.
The
County
Commissioners
requested
that
that
be
removed.
They
were
interested
in
retaining
the
future.
The
expansion
area
to
the
north
east
of
Lusby,
which
is
the
Patuxent
Business
Park
the
park
and
ride
and
the
storage
units,
so
that
area
is
surround
I
want
and
then
for
Solomon's.
F
F
This
table
shows
the
proposed
amendments.
In
each
section
they
include
the
executive
summary
where
there's
a
map.
The
table
of
contents,
which
mentions
phasing
of
Prince
Frederick
chapter
3,
has
the
majority
of
the
proposed
amendments
they're
both
text
amendments
and
map,
Amendment
for
two
maps
and
then
Transportation.
It's
the
functional
Road.
Excuse
me:
the
functional
Road
classification
map.
There
are
no
proposed
changes
to
the
classifications.
It's
just.
The
map
includes
silhouettes
of
the
future
expansion
areas,
so
that
would
be
reduced.
F
This
is
the
current
future
land
use
map
in
the
adopted
plan,
and
then
this
is
the
proposed
future
land
use
map
in
the
for
the
proposed
amendments.
So
the
areas
that
were
previously
noted
as
the
town
center
around
Prince
Frederick,
they
would
either
be
identified
as
residential,
which
is
identified
already
for
some
of
the
areas
outside
the
expansion
area
or
in
the
case
of
the
employment
center
along
Stafford
Road
as
an
industrial
area.
F
F
F
That
concludes
our
look
at
the
maps.
I
will
note
for
the
functional
land.
Excuse
me:
functional
Road
classification,
there's
a
minor
adjustment
for
the
Prince
Frederick
area,
so
it
matches
that
large-scale
map
there's
a
few
little
slivers
on
the
Southeast
and
Southwest
side
that
need
to
be
corrected,
so
it
matches
that
larger
Scale
map.
F
At
this
point,
I
just
want
to
note
the
next
steps.
These
don't
necessarily
happen
all
tonight.
It
depends
on
what
the
Planning
Commission
wishes
to
do,
but
between
now
and
when
you
make
a
recommendation
to
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
to
hold
the
public
hearing.
So
that's
what
we're
doing
this
evening
and
then
at
the
conclusion
of
oral
testimony
to
decide
whether
to
close
the
record
or
to
keep
it
open.
F
If
you
keep
the
record
open,
you
need
to
identify
how
long
you're,
keeping
the
record
open
at
some
point
close
the
record
discuss
the
comments
and
the
proposed
amendments
and
then
vote
on
the
proposed
amendments.
The
Planning
Commission
would
approve
them
and
then
you'd
recommend
adoption
by
the
County
Commissioners
so
that
we,
our
agendas,
are.

F
I
I
must
have
gotten
here
too
early
I
didn't
expect
to
hit
lead
off
tonight,
but
good
evening
Commissioners
and
County
staff.
My
name
is
Ron
clauda
I
live
at
1401
Foxtail
Lane
in
Prince,
Frederick
and
I've
been
a
County
resident
for
over
40
years.
I
love
the
place.
I
love
Pleasant
Peninsula
as
a
moniker,
for
it
I
serve
on
the
board
of
directors
of
the
American,
chestnut
land
trust
and,
as
was
said
earlier,
I
am
speaking
tonight
on
its
behalf.
I
The
American
chestnut
Land
Trust
owns
over
1600
acres
in
The,
Parkers,
Creek,
Watershed,
just
south
and
east
of
here,
and
we
have
more
than
750
member
families
from
all
over
Calvert.
County
aclt
is
very
grateful
to
the
current
Board
of
County
Commissioners,
who
initiated
these
changes
to
the
comprehensive
plan
that
we
were
speaking
about
tonight.
I
I
E
J
Good
evening
I'm,
Greg
Bowen
and
my
address
is
1235
Mallard
Point
Road
Prince
Frederick
I'm
speaking
as
an
individual.
There
are
two:
there
are
two
people
who
have
since
moved
to
Florida
who
had
big
plans
for
Calvert
County.
They
never
lived
long
enough
in
Calvert
to
learn
of
its
beauty,
resilience
strength
as
a
rural
Peninsula,
with
a
Patuxent
on
the
west
and
Chesapeake
Bay
on
the
east.
Calvert's
natural
assets
are
proximity
to
the
beautiful,
deep
waterways
to
marshes,
coves,
steep
woods
and
good
farmland.
J
Both
had
a
growth
growth
fast
scheme,
both
pursuited
hard.
Even
if
the
public
didn't
agree,
I
think
that
the
Planning
Commission
at
the
time
attempted
to
honor
their
wishes
and
I
hope
that
it
will
honor
the
wishes
of
the
current
Board
of
County
Commissioners.
Now
Calvert
had
Maryland's
first
County
Land
preservation
program,
the
first
countries
transferable
the
Roman
rights
program.
It
was
one
of
the
first
to
Cluster,
Lots,
the
first
to
stop
strip
commercial
development
along
main
highways
and
create
Town
centers.
J
The
first
Secretary
of
AG
came
from
Calvert
County
and
in
fact
three
out
of
the
five
three
out
of
the
nine
secretaries
of
AG.
Have
come
from
Maryland's,
smallest
county,
we
have
a
proud
planning
and
Leadership
history
of
innovation
and
creativity.
We
have
good
schools
and
communities,
High,
volunteerism
and
kind
thoughtful
people.
J
I
will
say
that
we've
recently
hired
a
couple
of
planning
firms
that
were
not
let's
say:
good
fits
for
Calvert
County
and
ignored
planning
principles,
Calvary
Planning
Commission,
please
approve
the
changes
drafted
by
staff,
then
go
back
to
the
old
planning
processes,
listen
to
Citizens
and
make
great
plans
that
utilize
and
protect
our
natural
assets.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
K
Hi,
my
name
is
Frank
McPhillips
1611,
Meadow,
Oaks
Lane
in
Huntington
and
I'm
representing
the
friends
of
Honey
Creek
members
of
the
Planning
Commission,
the
friends
of
Hunting
Creek
support
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
2019
comprehensive
plan,
which
will
reduce
the
expansion
of
several
Town
centers
in
Calvert
County.
My
comments
will
mostly
focus
on
Prince
Frederick,
but
our
comments,
or
our
concerns
go
well
beyond
there.
K
There
have
been
demands
for
affordable
housing
for
many
years
here,
but
recent
apartment
complexes,
townhouses
and
so
forth
that
we've
seen
across
along
Prince,
Frederick,
Boulevard
and
the
soon
to
become
Magnolia,
Ridge
and
other
plan
developments
nearby
do
not
really
address
that
need.
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
are
generally
retail
or
fast
food
and
mostly
accessed
off
the
main
artillery
arterial.
That's
all
right
that
is
Route
four,
which
has
made
traffic
only
worse.
K
It's
also
well
known
that
the
fees
and
taxes
that
dwelling
units
contribute
to
revenues
do
not
equal
the
services
consumed
by
the
residents
in
Calvert
County.
The
shortfall
that
has
been
estimated
by
the
county
to
is
about
two
thousand
dollars
a
year,
depending
on
the
type
of
dwelling
unit.
So
this
is
not
growth
paying
its
own
way.
K
K
The
sediment
from
all
the
storm
water,
that's
poorly
managed,
washes
out
our
highly
erodible
soil,
along
with
all
the
pollutants
of
various
types,
including
sometimes
overflow,
from
the
sewage
treatment
facilities,
and
it
all
eventually
makes
its
way
to
the
Bay,
impacting
its
health.
Growing
Prince,
Frederick,
Town,
Center
and
really
any
new
development
in
the
county
without
taking
important
preceding
steps
of
managing
storm
water
consistently,
is
only
going
to
accelerate
the
decline
of
our
most
precious
resource,
the
beauty
of
the
land
and
the
water
that
surrounds
us.
K
In
some,
we
request
that
the
plan,
a
commission
and
ultimately
the
County
Commissioners
support
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
comprehensive
plan
regarding
the
production
of
the
Town
Center
expansions.
We
also
ask
that
the
county
seriously
consider
evaluating
future
plan
growth
with
a
greater
consideration
of
the
lasting
negative
impacts
that
may
come
with
it
alongside
any
perceived
Financial
benefits.
Thank
you.
L
L
Address
for
the
record
James
Schaefer
420,
Leach,
Road,
Tracy's,
Landing
Maryland
for
myself,
yes,
I
was
a
Calvert
County
resident
for
over
20
years.
I
went
through
the
public
school
system
here,
I
do
build
homes
in
the
county
and
I
field.
Many
phone
calls
from
County
residents
where
former
County
residents
that
can't
move
back
home,
including
me,
was
one
of
those
people
so
I
think
there
is
a
need
for
some
building.
Calvert
I
think
there's
a
way
to
do
it
with
smart
growth.
L
I,
don't
think
you
stop
growth
totally
most
people,
my
age
cannot
afford
to
live
in
Calvert,
County
and
I.
Think
it's
going
to
be
a
detriment
in
the
future
to
the
economics
here.
So
I
think
everyone
needs
needs
to
take
that
into
consideration
with
the
economic
impact
of
these
changes
will
be
after
such
a
short
time
of
them
being
instituted.

Think
that
I
didn't
see
any
reporting
in
the
the
paperwork
of
you
know
what
the
economic
outfall
would
be
over
the
next
20
years,
so
I
think
we
should
take
that
into
consideration
and
the
younger
demographic
that
needs
to
come
back
to
the
county,
to
support
it
school
systems,
and
everything
like
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.

My
name
is
Susan
dezurek
and
I
live
at
4215
Weeping
Willow
Lane
in
Huntington
I'm
commenting
this
evening
as
the
vice
president
of
Calvert
citizens,
united
Calvert
citizens,
united,
is
in
complete
agreement
with
the
Town
Center
reductions,
as
proposed
by
the
Commissioners,
and
some
of
our
reasons.
Why
are
as
follows?
Throughout
the
comprehensive
plan
adoption
process,
the
citizens,
input
and
requests
were
totally
ignored
case
in
point.
The
majority
of
Calvert's
tax,
paying
citizens
asked
repeatedly
not
to
expand
the
town
centers.
Finally,
Four
County
Commissioners
are
listening
and
taking
action
to
write
the
previous
wrongs.
M
We
hope
this
is
not
a
short-lived
election
campaign
tactic,
but
rather
a
well-educated
change
in
the
County's
priorities.
One
citizens
asked
from
the
beginning
of
the
comprehensive
plan
process
for
the
county
to
follow
the
American
Planning
Association,
best
products
protocols.
These
protocols
instruct
planners
to
perform
a
full
assessment
of
existing
conditions
to
our
knowledge,
the
county
failed
to
do
that.
M
Citizens
knew
the
statistics
were
untrue
and
took
things
into
their
own
hands.
After
all,
they
were
living
the
traffic
intersection
backups
firsthand
during
their
commutes.
They
contacted
State
Highway
and
submitted
Shaw's
empirical
data
on
our
intersections
to
the
county,
which
has
been
ignored.
Two,
the
county
refused
to
do
a
cost
analysis
of
the
expansions
once
again
taking
matters
into
their
own
hands.
M
That's
a
half
a
billion
dollars.
Their
document
was
submitted
to
you
with
my
written
comments.
Three,
let
me
single
out
the
last
debacle,
The
County's
proposal
to
build
a
poop
line
from
Prince
Frederick
to
Solomon's,
to
accommodate
the
builders
developers
intended
build
out
at
the
January
meeting.
You
approved
a
budget
budget
item
of
37
million,
seven
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
for
this
project
without
knowing
or
understanding
any
of
the
any
of
its
ramifications.
M
After
hearing
County
Administrator
Mark
Willis's
perspective
of
the
project
at
the
March
Planning
Commission
meeting,
thankfully,
the
citizens
of
Calvert
citizens
united
performed
their
due
diligence
by
contacting
the
Maryland
Department
of
environment.
We
were
told
that
no
application
of
substitutive
value
had
been
submitted
by
the
county.
That
mde
is
not
a
banking
institution
with
40
million
dollars
to
give
any
County
and
the
County's
one-page
information
would
not
be
considered
through
the
citizens
own
due
diligence.
We
confirmed
what
we
all
knew
at
the
first
comprehensive
plan.
Public
Workshop
had
the
county
completed
their
comprehensive
assessment.
M
First,
they
would
have
concluded
the
following
as
well.
Our
roads
can't
handle
additional
traffic.
We
can't
financially
or
environmentally
afford
the
costs
associated
with
massive
expansions
of
the
Town
centers,
and
that
includes,
but
is
not
limited
to
our
sewage
treatment.
Infrastructure
won't
handle
the
population
increase
as
currently
planned.
M
The
Citizen's
goal
has
never
wavered
from
keeping
Calvert
County
the
pleasant
Peninsula
for
the
generations
to
come,
as
envisioned
by
the
likes
of
Senator
Bernie,
Fowler,
Calvert
citizens,
united
requests
that
the
reduction
of
the
Town
Center's
be
approved,
as
requested
by
the
board
of
County
Commissioners.
Thank
you.
N
Not
only
does
this
proposal
move
the
county
backward
from
its
previously
established
goals,
but
it
also
hinders
Economic
Development
moves
several
schools
out
of
the
priority
funding
zones,
forces,
infrastructure,
sprawl
prices,
more
possible
homeowners
out
of
the
market
and
exasperates
the
ongoing
housing
Charities
we're
faced
with
in
our
Calvert
County
in
the
Calvert
County
Economic
Development
strategic
plan
updated
2017-2022..
It
was
determined
that
the
cost
of
living
in
Calvert
county
is
relatively
High
saying
this
is
largely
attributed
to
high
housing
costs.
N
Calvert
County's
media
monthly
homeowner
costs
are
approximately
7.5
percent
higher
than
the
rest
of
Maryland
and
40
percent
higher
than
the
rest
of
the
country.
These
amendments
will
have
a
direct
negative
impact
on
housing,
affordability.
It
will
make
it
more
difficult
for
any
potential
home
buyers
to
move
into
Calvert
County
and
increases
the
financial
strain
on
current
residents
to
continue
living
in
the
county.
We
believe
the
American
dream
of
home
ownership
should
be
available
and
achievable
to
anyone
who
desires
and
works
for
it.
N
Unfortunately,
many
younger
buyers
who
are
born
in
Calvert
County
are
forced
to
move
into
neighboring
counties
because
they
cannot
afford
to
live
in
the
county
where
they
were
raised.
Equally
important
is
the
impact
on
the
current
and
potential
businesses
located
in
Calvert
County.
These
proposed
changes
will
force
County
residents
and
business
owners
to
relocate
and
engage
with
more
business
friendly,
neighboring
counties
that
inevitable
loss
will
result
in
additional
tax
burdens
on
the
remaining
property
and
business
owners
in
Calvert
County,
as
housing
prices
and
rents
continue
to
rise.
N
The
Calvert
County
Citizens
and
government
officials
worked
hard
over
many
months,
developing
the
current
plan
and
now
is
not
the
time
to
drastically
scale
it
back
with
no
alternatives.
People
still
need
a
place
to
start
their
lives,
and
we
worry.
These
amendments
will
force
more
people
to
start
and
grow
in
other
communities
targeting
smart
growth
and
expansion
in
Calvert
County
Town
centers
is
a
good
plan.
Let's
keep
that
strategy,
don't
shrink
the
only
places
in
the
county
where
their
where
growth
is
encouraged.
Thank
you.
O
I'm
Myra,
gowans
and
I
live
at
110
Walnut
Creek
Road
in
Huntington
I'm
speaking
for
myself
this
evening
and
I
want
to
tell
you
that
I
am
glad
that
you
all
are
looking
seriously
and
re-examining
where
the
county
is
right.
Now,
with
regard
to
the
build
out,
the
build
out
is
being
challenged
and
here's
two
things
I
want
to
share
with
you
all
I
sat
in
many
of
these
meetings
with
you
and
a
number
of
issues
were
brought
up
and
no
questions
were
asked.
O
You
did
not
ask
your
Builder
developers
or
your
con
the
people
who
were
coming
and
requesting
something
there
were
no
questions,
asked
of
any
significance.
We're
talking
major
sewer,
major
transportation,
afpos
we're
talking
major
things
here,
and
none
of
you
all
ask
questions,
and
that
was
very
concerning
to
me
and
other
citizens.
O
E
P
Three
Kingfisher
Court
Breezy
Point
speaking
for
myself,
I
had
an
opportunity
last
week
or
take
a
couple
days
off
and
attend
the
Maryland
Department
of
planning's
annual
conference
for
planning,
Commissioners
and
interested
citizens
and
I
learned
something
that
I
had
not
known
before.
That
is
that
in
the
state
of
Maryland,
County
Planning
commissions
have
the
responsibility
to
ensure
that
infrastructure
costs
associated
with
any
planning
and
land
use
recommendations
are
consistent
with
their
County's
Capital
Improvement
plan.
P
P
In
the
absence
of
this,
keep
Calvary
country
came
up
with
their
own
cost
estimates
for
the
new
infrastructure
required
If
Prince
Frederick
Phase
2
was
built
out
to
the
full
proposed
residential
densities.
That
figure
was
500
million
dollars.
It
covers
the
new
schools,
expanded
Water
and
Sewer,
both
new
Loop
roads
and
other
needed
improvements.
P
P
So
unless
the
Planning
Commission
can
demonstrate
to
the
County
Commissioners
that
the
new
infrastructure
costs
associated
with
phase
two
expansion
are
consistent
with
the
comprehensive,
the
Improvement
of
the
capital
Improvement
plan,
I,
don't
see
how
you
can
in
good
conscious
vote
to
ex
support
that
expansion.
So
please
please
vote
in
favor
of
eliminating
phase
two.
Thank
you.
Q
Q
Since
my,
since
my
two
minutes
is
so
short,
I
ask
you
to
look
at
the
handout
I'm
providing
you.
It
contains
detailed
justification
for
my
statements.
First
of
all,
I
support
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
Calvert
County
comprehensive
plan.
However,
I
believe
that
it
has
two
problems
that
you
need
to
correct
before
you
approve
it.
First,
the
plan
fails
to
provide
the
data
necessary
for
you
to
be
able
to
fully
evaluate
the
impact
of
growth
on
County
infrastructure.
Q
The
absence
of
critical
measurables
prevent
you
and
residents
from
evaluating
the
impact
of
growth
on
our
health,
wealth,
safety
and
Welfare.
This
means
that,
without
that
data
such
as
the
number
kind,
size
and
location
of
residences
that
could
be
built
under
this
plan,
neither
you
nor
residents
can
evaluate
whether
the
proposed
new
major
developments
will
adversely
impact
our
roads,
sewage,
water
schools
or
Emergency
Services.
Q
Second,
historically,
County
officials,
especially
the
Planning
Commission,
has
not
used
comprehensive
plan
to
guide
growth
decisions.
You,
if
you
were
to
follow
the
precedent,
this
exercise
to
amend
the
plan,
would
be
a
waste
of
time
for
all
of
us.
Previous
commissions
did
not
use
prior
plans
to
manage
growth,
especially
between
2016
and
2020..
Q
If
you
don't
modify
this
plan
so
that
you
can
use
it
to
guide
decisions
with
additional
information,
it
becomes
a
meaningless
paper
exercise
that
wastes
not
only
your
time,
but
also
that
of
residents
and
County
staff
and
also
wastes
a
lot
of
paper.
You
do
not
have
sufficient
information
to
finalize
the
current
draft
master
plan.
Without
the
measurables,
you
need
to
determine
the
impact
of
future
growth
on
County
infrastructure.
You
cannot
make
informed
decisions
of
the
impact
on
future
of
future
growth
on
County
residents.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
S
Hi
I'm
Robin
trustlow
from
610
Willow,
Way,
Prince,
Frederick,
Maryland
and
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
myself
and
like
Mr
Azusa
I
am
also
a
data
numbers
person
and
appreciate
having
the
data
I
do
feel
like
we
have
a
lot
of
data
out
there.
We
heard
a
good
bit
of
it
from
Mr
McPhillips
and
some
of
the
other
speakers
and
I
believe
that
the
Amendments
proposed
are
solid
ones,
because
the
current
comprehensive
plan
would
really
involve
quite
a
lot
of
expensive
infrastructure
and
detrimental
impacts
to
our
environment.
C
Joseph
Joseph
Cormier.
We
are
ready
to
receive
your
comments
good
evening,
Madam
president
Commissioners
County
staff
and
those
present.
My
name
is
Joseph
Cormier
I'm
at
9201,
Sam
Owings
place
in
Owings,
Maryland
I'm,
pretty
new
to
this
process,
but,
as
we've
been
going
through,
these
meetings
I'm
just
confused
as
to
why
Huntington
High
School
is
not
being
kept
in
the
plan,
removing
it
from
the
the
funding
site
for
the
sole
purpose
of
it.
C
Might
let
someone
build
something
on
the
other
side
of
the
street
when
we
can
limit
that
as
far
as
the
reduction
of
all
the
southern
ones,
I
completely
agree,
we
just
had
the
the
state
come
in
and
say,
they're
not
going
to
build
us
a
bridge
any
time
in
the
next
decade.
So
I
can't
imagine
how
building
more
in
the
southern
end
is
going
to
be
productive
for
us,
when
the
traffic
studies
clearly
show
that
we
are
overburdened
in
all
parts
of
the
county
I.
C
It's
just
frustrating
week
after
week
and
month
after
month
to
see
this
process
go
through
and
not
get
the
hard
data
that
the
citizens
are
asking
for.
So
I
hope
that
you
know
we
can
slow
down
this
build
process
and
stop
listening
to
the
special
interest
groups
and
get
back
to
listening
to
the
people.
I
hope
everyone
goes
out
and
votes
between
now
and
November
8th.
Thank
you
so
much
and
have
a
good
evening.
H
R
H
H
R
Thank
you,
as
of
this
evening,
I'm
a
newcomer
I
wasn't
born
here,
but
I'm,
a
military
spouse
and
brat
that
have
served
our
country
every
place.
I
initially
when
I
came,
did
not
understand
keeping
Calvert,
but
I
slowly
began
to
understand
that
what
you
were
trying
to
keep
I
want
to
keep
and
those
of
us
that
have
wasn't
born
here.
We
want
to
do
the
same,
but
what
I
don't
understand
at
this
time
is
it's.
A
comprehensive
plan
is
our
God.
Why
do
we
have
exception?
R
That
should
be
considered
it's
hard
for
you
to
make
a
decision
to
say
no,
but
as
a
newcomer
I
say
we
entrust
you
as
newcomers,
we've
learned
what
you
want
to
keep
and
we
ask
that
you
abide
by
our
comprehensive
plan
that
I
have
so
it
was
hard
for
me
to
understand
how
to
understand
it,
but
sometimes
you're
going
to
have
to
start
saying
no
to
the
things
and
the
growth
that
are
not
in
our
comprehensive
plan
and
that
are
not
us
that
are
residents
of
this
County.
Thank
you
very
much.
F
This
is
Jenny
if
I
may,
looking
back
at
the
next
steps
for
the
Planning
Commission
after
the
conclusion
of
the
oral
testimony,
decide
whether
to
keep
the
record
open
for
the
receipt
of
additional
written
testimony
or
close,
the
record
options
include
a
close
the
record
the
night
of
the
public
hearing
after
the
conclusion
of
public
testimony
or
B
keep
the
record
open
for
a
set
amount
of
time.
For
example,
one
week
two
weeks,
Etc.
R
G
F
T
If
the
commission
wants
to
vote
in
Toto
on
the
proposed
changes,
they
can
do
that
or
they
can
take
each
individual
item
and
break
it
down
into
pieces
and
then
at
the
end
on
each
piece
they
could
vote
and
then
at
the
end
they
could
decide
whether
to
send
it
to
the
County
Commissioners
or
you
could
do
it
if,
if
the
proposal
is
to
your
liking
and
that's
what
everyone
agrees
to,
they
could
do
it
in
one
motion
as
well.
So,
however,
basically,
what
I'm
saying
is,
however,
you
choose
to
do
it
is,
is
acceptable.
