A

Well, the session ended in annapolis. uh Lots yet to be figured out. I say the dust is.

A

Not really settled yet until the governor signs or not signs or vetoes or whatever happens there.

A

But it does give us an understanding of some of the challenges we look at as we finish.

A

Up our budget, you know, will we be having to do additional early voting centers, where we have to.

A

You know change the way we vote. There was a lot of controversy up there, so we got some clarity.

A

On that last night we signed up hopefully with the governor's actions coming next and there won't be.

A

A special session least we'll have a probably eight nine months, ten months to figure out.

A

You know what's going to happen next, but congratulations.

A

Senator bailey delegates, morgan and crosby and clark for I'm sure you guys, are tired.

A

I'm sure you were up late last night and glad you're glad you got it done. Planning commission.

A

Last night they held off on that hearing on the uh what used to be the thigh call plant.

A

Is what term I used for? I served on the board of appeals back from 2001 to 2006.

A

And we that case came before the board of appeals and it was about munitions that back in the 50s.

A

Instead of disposing of them properly or whatever properly meant back, then they just dug big holes.

A

And buried them and figured well they're out in the middle of nowhere. No one ever find them well.

A

Back in the about 2005, when we looked at this, we we came up with a way to maybe try to find.

A

uh Image residencing was a term whatever that means bottom line was it was a technology that.

A

Could maybe look into the ground and find out what was down there? I went to the applicant appealed. It.

A

To the circuit court judge come back and said: hey look. You guys, gonna have to find something else.

A

Out I remember we ended up giving the approval for them to build homes there, but they were never.

A

Built 2008 came along that all changed, don't know where this I thought it was a proposal from the.

A

Property owner to look at a change in zoning, hey anybody who owns property. They can ask for changes.

A

If they own it and as property rights advocate, they should, if they think they should doesn't mean.

A

You'll get it, but you should be able to ask, but I'm concerned that it came out of the county and.

A

I'm surprised that something that controversial wouldn't be run past the commissioners first, so.

A

I'll be interested to hear from the land use and growth management director and how that worked out.

A

Lastly, the critical areas: commission, last week we had a meeting and st mary's county uh town.

A

Of leonardtown had their plan approved good for them, and uh we got an extension on this.

A

Critical area of change that we're talking about doing um got until may 18th to approve it not long.

A

But if people want to get something done and want to be able to be grandfathered under the old rules,.

A

Now is the time to get it in we've had two years to do this. It was a little trepidation from some.

A

Of the members, but I think what they did, they gave us local courtesy. I made the motion for the.

A

Request- and it's not about me, but usually when the representative from that area, makes that request.

A

The other members will grant it because it's local courtesy, so, let's hope anybody who has any plans.

A

For property in the critical area, if you're planning about thinking about doing it, get.

A

It in now it's very important easter was great got to visit with all my grandchildren.

A

Children some in-laws and outlaws- I shouldn't call them that but family, it was good family time tell.

A

Me time for everybody, and hopefully you had a great easter too. Thank you.
