City attorney says daycare plan on Whippsmill Road adjusted; commission to notify nearby residents
Summary
City Attorney Stephen Porter told the Bellemeade commission June 9 that the Leaf Spring group made a minor revision to a proposed Whippsmill Road daycare involving the retention pond; the city will invite a project representative to present and contact affected residents about potential impacts.
City Attorney Stephen Porter told the Bellemeade City Commission on June 9 that the Leaf Spring group's proposed daycare project on Whippsmill Road has been revised slightly to change the retention pond. Porter said he will serve as the city’s point of contact on the project, and Mayor James Martin said he will invite a project representative, Matt Ricketts, to a future commission meeting and notify Whippsmill Road residents about potential effects on their properties.
Commissioner Burt Deutsch said he plans to discuss the project with neighbors and local contacts, including Brian Lavin and possibly Matt Ricketts, to offer his personal observations. Commissioner Cindy Oppel said she received strong responses to a Facebook post about the project, and she will provide details from the developer's public meeting to Mayor Martin so the commission can post them on the city website and Facebook page.
No formal action or vote was taken on the project at the June 9 meeting. City Attorney Porter characterized the change as "slight" with respect to the retention pond; the transcript does not specify engineering or hydrological details. The commission agreed to keep nearby residents informed and to schedule a presentation by a project representative for a future meeting.
The commission did not set a date for the developer presentation at the June 9 meeting. Residents seeking more information were directed to the mayor and the city website once materials from the public meeting are available.
