Commissioners OK vacant-lot assessments for Kent Island sewer phase, approve sewer allocation and easement
Summary
The board approved proceeding with benefit assessments for vacant lots in the Southern Kent Island Phase 4 sanitary project, authorized a public works agreement for sewer allocation at Kent Island Crossing, and executed a sewer easement to serve a single property on Roman Coke Road.
Queen Anne's County Commissioners on Jan. 14 moved forward with several sanitary and sewer actions affecting Kent Island, including setting a schedule for benefit assessments on vacant lots, authorizing sewer allocation for a mixed-use development, and approving a sewer easement for a single property.
The board voted to proceed with benefit assessments for vacant lots in the Southern Kent Island Sanitary Project Phase 4, with assessments scheduled to start April 1 and a public hearing tentatively set for March 11 at the Kent Island Library. "We're in a position now to assess the vacant lots," Alan Quimby, director of public works, told commissioners, adding that community mains and streets will be completed in a couple of months.
Commissioners also executed a Public Works Agreement (PWA) with Cross Island Market LLC to allocate sewer capacity for the Kent Island Crossing development (seven buildings on the former Bell property). The motion to "execute the Public Works grama with Cross Island Market LLC" passed by voice vote.
Finally, the board approved an easement between Gen 3 Real Estate (transcript: "JEM 3 Real Properties"/"Gen 3 Real Estate") and the county to allow maintenance of a sewer lateral serving 1410 Roman Coke Road. Quimby described the item as a cleanup action required to provide public sewer service to a property recently amended into the water and sewer plan.
All three sanitary items passed on voice votes. Staff said the Phase 4 assessment will only apply to vacant lots (not improved properties) and emphasized that assessment proceedings require a public hearing before adoption.
