Council backs letter supporting Backtown Road Water & Sewer plan amendment request, pending Planning Commission
Summary
Attorney Lyndsey Ryan presented a request from Zach Smith on behalf of property owner Brian Hause asking the Town to support a Talbot County Water & Sewer Comprehensive Plan amendment to change a Backtown Road parcel to S1/W1; council approved providing a letter pending Planning Commission recommendation.
The Trappe Town Council on Sept. 4 approved a request to provide a town letter of support for a Talbot County Water & Sewer Comprehensive Plan amendment affecting a Backtown Road property.
Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan said she received the request from Zach Smith on behalf of property owner Brian Hause, who is seeking a designation change to S1/W1 for his Backtown Road parcel. Attorney Ryan told the council Mr. Hause has no concrete plans at present but has previously presented an 11‑lot industrial subdivision concept to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Walter Chase moved to approve the request for a letter of support pending recommendation from the Town’s Planning Commission; Commissioner Jeremy Newnam seconded the motion and the council approved it unanimously.
The council did not record specific conditions on the letter; the motion ties the town’s support to the Planning Commission’s forthcoming recommendation.
The item will return if the Planning Commission issues a recommendation and the county application proceeds through Talbot County review procedures.
