Planning commission extends Chesapeake Bay Act exception for Munday property to May 2027
Summary
The commission approved a resolution extending the initial approval period for a Chesapeake Bay Act exception for a single‑family dwelling owned by Danny and Catherine Munday, moving the deadline to commence work to May 2027; staff noted mitigation and a nearby bald eagle nest limit construction timing.
The Westmoreland County Planning Commission approved a resolution extending the initial approval period for a Chesapeake Bay Act exception tied to construction of a single‑family dwelling on tax map ID 39 Parcel 3J, owned by Danny and Catherine Munday.
Staff read the resolution into the record and described the case (identified in the staff text as Chesapeake Bay Extension case number 2505 CBAE‑4) and the factual basis for an extension: the exception had been approved previously, the property changed hands, the purchaser requested additional time to commence construction, and engineering, structural and vegetative mitigation are in place. Staff also said the site contains a bald eagle nest and that timing construction to avoid active nesting was part of the conditions discussed.
The staff resolution extends the deadline to commence the project until May 2027. The Chair called for objections; none were raised, and the commission approved the resolution by voice vote.
Staff noted the extension reflects that developers have already expended time and funds toward the project, and that extension provides reasonable additional time to initiate work. The matter will be reflected in the county record and the extended deadline will govern the project’s commencement timeline.
