Planning Board Case No 458 Reservoir Hills - December 5, 2024
A public hearing will be held by the Planning Board in the George Howard Building, Banneker Room, Ellicott City, Maryland for a 16.02 acre property owned by Danny Andrews. The petition, filed under Senate Bill 236, "The Sustainable Growth and Agricultural Preservation Act of 2012," seeks to approve a subdivision for 6 residential lots, 1 buildable preservation parcel and 2 non-buildable preservation parcels, for a Growth Tier III project in a Rural Residential (RR) Zoning District. The Planning Board's review in this case is limited to two criteria - potential environmental issues or a natural resources inventory related to the proposed residential major subdivision and the cost of providing local government services. Since Howard County has an Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance, according to the State Act, the Planning Board will not consider the cost of providing local government services in its decision.
Additional information as well as the virtual meeting links will be provided below on November 21, 2024.
(Deadline to register to testify virtually is November 20, 2024). If testifying in person there is a sign up at the door.
