Planning commission certifies Magnolia Ridge Phase 1 final subdivision plat
Summary
At its April 16 meeting the Calvert County Planning Commission approved final subdivision plat SDFP 143192 (Magnolia Ridge Phase 1), finalizing conditions of preliminary approval granted May 15, 2024; the motion passed 6-1.
At its April 16 meeting the Calvert County Planning Commission voted to approve the final subdivision plat in the case SDFP 143192, Magnolia Ridge Phase 1, a townhouse development covering Lots 1 through 57. The motion passed 6-1.
The approval certified that the conditions attached to the commission's preliminary approval on May 15, 2024, had been met. Blake Wallace, secretary to the planning commission, presented the certification to the body and advised commissioners that staff recommended either certification and approval, conditional approval with recommended changes, deferral for additional information, or disapproval.
Christine Fenimore, principal planner with the Department of Planning and Zoning, summarized the project as submitted: Magnolia Ridge Phase 1 includes townhouse lots 1–57, open-space parcels (A, F, G, H), Tempest Court (private), and related parcels along Gold Dust Road, Red Hair Place and Eclipse Place. Fenimore noted the parcel and replanning references included in the staff packet and confirmed the record of agency review.
After considering the certification, a commissioner moved to approve the final subdivision plat. The motion carried 6 to 1. The lone recorded no vote was cast by Commissioner Christopher Gadway.
The commission’s approval completes the formal county-level subdivision review steps specified in the staff report and allows the applicant to proceed toward final plat signature and subsequent phases of construction and lot recording, subject to any remaining signature or ministerial steps called for in the staff conditions.
Details recorded in the staff packet and cited in commission discussion include the May 15, 2024 preliminary approval date and the list of affected roads and open-space parcels. The commission did not add new substantive conditions during the April 16 vote.
The commission will include the project's final plat and any required recordation notes as the applicant completes the ministerial steps for final approval.
