Public informational meeting set for two Kent Island properties seeking public sewer after failing septic systems
Summary
Property owners at the end of Great Neck Road asked to amend the county master water‑sewer plan to allow connection to the public sewer (S‑2 limited) after Environmental Health documented failed septic systems; owners would extend and pay for the main to Route 8. A public hearing will be held in two weeks.
Queen Anne’s County held a public informational session Aug. 12 for two Kent Island properties owned by the Brennan/Krevnoski applicants seeking an amendment to the county comprehensive water and sewer plan to allow public sewer service.
County staff described the request as an amendment from “no planned service” to an S‑2 limited designation to address failing on‑site septic systems documented by Environmental Health. Staff said the properties are at the end of Great Neck Road and that Environmental Health had issued a letter stating there was no suitable area for replacement septic systems after multiple Perc tests.
The applicants would extend the public sewer main down Great Neck Road to Route 8 and tie in to the Mattapeak system (applicant to pay for the main extension), a county staff member said at the meeting. Alan Hyatt, counsel to the property owners, said the amendment is not sought to enable subdivision or to obtain additional lots but to preserve and allow legitimate residential use of the existing properties.
Hyatt said the applicants understand that an S‑2 designation does not automatically confer sewer allocation; the property must later seek and obtain allocation through the county’s allocation process. The county will hold a formal public hearing on the amendment application in two weeks, at which the Planning & Zoning Department and Environmental Health will consider testimony and the application record.
Commissioners asked a few clarifying questions about the exact locations and whether additional development is planned; applicants and counsel reiterated the intent is to serve existing houses and not to enable future subdivision.
The Planning & Zoning exhibit referenced in the meeting packet shows the properties and the proposed main extension route (packet: tab 7, page 4). Staff invited interested residents to attend the scheduled public hearing for formal testimony and comment.
