Top issues during term (11)(Development)
Countywide data center prohibition (Text Amendment 26-31)
Staff identified no direct fiscal impact so far, but data centers elsewhere on the grid could drive up residents' electric bills.
Permitting and bond calculation frustrations
Permit fees are due at application, and faster reviews could save homeowners contractor time and carrying costs on their projects.
Old Anchor Farm intrafamily lot removal request
The owners must buy five TDRs or pay the equivalent into the county's Purchase and Retirement fund to get a two-year head start on selling.
West Side on Maine density and grandfathering dispute
Traffic and infrastructure costs fall on the county; the developer covers project infrastructure, but county review costs and road impacts remain.
Lusby apartment project and 2018 MOU dispute
Owner Johnny Gott testified he has roughly $2.5 million invested, pays $13,000 monthly in base tap fees, and estimates $4-5 million in spending to vest before September 2027.
Skaggs building two occupancy resolution
Approval lets the owner operate both buildings, with parking reduced 15% and shared with adjoining Meadow Run Park Lot 4.
Potential Data Center and Regional Park Proposal
Speakers warned data centers could drive up electric bills for residents, schools and businesses, while the county eyes significant tax revenue.
Natelli Land Negotiation Transparency Questions
Testimony referenced nearly $100 million in potential future water and sewer debt discussed at prior enterprise fund workshops.
Proposed Wawa filling station in Solomons Town Center
The developer would bear any road mitigation costs; the state, not the county, controls the affected roads.
Main Street Prince Frederick townhomes and wetland buffer impacts
About 15,000 square feet of buffer disturbance, mitigated with 2-to-1 replanting; a rejected design would have added a county-owned pump station with long-term operating costs.
Dunkirk flex space development
