Staff presented the plan and said the project met zoning and subdivision standards, that public roads would serve the parcel, and that the proposed lots complied with design standards and cluster-layout requirements. Staff also noted prior reviews by technical agencies, an earlier water-and-sewer amendment for Phase 1, and outstanding litigation related to a subsequent water amendment for Phase 2; the judge had taken summary judgment and a written opinion had not been issued.

Applicant Dean Beck told the commission the litigation outcome will determine whether the county commissioners must vote on the water-category change. Commissioners asked for clarification about how the 55-and-over occupancy restriction interacts with surrounding non‑restricted sections and whether the lots would have individual wells and septic systems. Staff and counsel explained the occupancy restriction would be recorded as a covenant on the record plat and in deeds so that the lots are restricted to occupants aged 55 or older, and that the 19 lots would use individual wells and septic systems absent the water amendment.

During discussion several commissioners said they preferred a clear decision from the county commissioners and regretted that the water‑category request had moved to litigation; others said they did not want to delay the applicant further. One commissioner said approving the plan would not preclude the applicant from seeking a different approach later. The motion to approve carried 4–3; three commissioners recorded nay votes.

Planning staff said the project is in the Commercial Marine zoning district and had been reviewed during prior TEC cycles. Staff found the project could meet the four criteria required by section 60.5.3 of the zoning ordinance, that public sewer service is available, and that the lodge and restaurant structures would be elevated to meet flood-hazard zone AE requirements. Staff noted the project would reduce impervious surface by 830 square feet overall and that additional engineering and final design work would define remaining adequacy-of-facilities issues.

Applicant representatives said they would consolidate four existing site entrances to two and add state-highway acceleration/deceleration lanes on Route 249 per State Highway recommendations. Project engineer Dave Woodbury said the proposal includes stormwater treatment beyond existing site conditions, additional buffering and landscape plantings, and a relocated and resized grinder pump to serve the site’s sewer connection. Owner/developer Chuck Kimball confirmed a new drilled well is proposed to replace the existing well and that restrooms and showers would be provided for marina users; Kimball also said all lodge rooms would be handicap accessible.

A motion to approve the concept plan carried unanimously.

Department staff reported no outstanding issues for Phase 9 and said the project had received prior approvals and technical-agency clearances. Phase 9 was presented as ready for final approval with findings of adequate facilities, including stormwater management and sewer EDU adjustments the Maryland Department of the Environment granted in December 2006.

John Norris, representing the applicant, spoke in support and thanked the commission and prior review agencies for work on the roughly 800-acre development; he noted that a public sewer system now serves the community. After staff presentations commissioners moved and seconded approvals. The Phase 9 final plan motion was made and seconded; the commission voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously.

For Phase 10, staff likewise reported that required technical-agency approvals were in place and that Phase 10 represents the final section of the development. A motion to approve the final subdivision plan for the 21 lots passed unanimously.

The denial followed staff recommendations and legal analysis indicating the request did not satisfy several zoning-ordinance criteria.

Staff reaffirmed the contents of its April 23, 2007, staff report and recommended deferral or denial. The deputy county attorney provided a legal memorandum, cited by staff, that influenced commissioners' readings of the ordinance.

A commissioner moved to deny the application, citing more than ten deficiencies listed in the staff report and the ordinance's interpretation rules. One commissioner referenced the county zoning-ordinance interpretation provision that the most restrictive provision prevails (identified in the record as section 11.205) and said that sections 32.1 and 32.2 prohibit residential density in the OBP designation relied upon by the applicant. Based on that reading and counsel's memorandum, the commissioner said denial was the only appropriate outcome.

The motion received a second and the commission voted in favor of denial. The chair announced that the motion to deny had been accepted.

The transcript records the commission accepting the staff report, hearing legal argument, and then adopting the motion to deny; the record does not include a roll-call breakdown of individual yes/no votes in the transcript beyond the chair's announcement that the motion was accepted.

The applicant, represented by John Norris of NGNO Engineering, asked the commission to continue the hearing so the developer could “further address the comments of staff in the staff report.” Norris told the commission he and his client would meet with residents who signed the public comment sign-up sheet before the continued hearing to address concerns.

Bob Boles of the Department of Land Use and Growth Management said staff also recommended a continuance. Boles said the Board of Education “would be in receipt of property for a school site from this development” and that continued discussions would be beneficial before the commission received testimony and staff responses.

Several members of the public were in attendance and asked whether testimony could be heard that night. The chair said the commission would open the public hearing but would not take testimony until the continued session; the chair asked residents to use the sign-in sheet so the applicant could contact them beforehand.

The commission recorded the continuance rather than taking public testimony or making a zoning recommendation at the May 29 meeting. The continued public hearing was scheduled for July 9, 2007, at 6:30 p.m. in the same room.

The continuance leaves unresolved staff comments in the application record and preserves the commission's opportunity to review revised materials and any Board of Education input before making a recommendation to the county.
