Trappe council adopts resolution to join 'Stories of the Chesapeake' heritage area
Summary
The Trappe Council unanimously adopted Resolution 4-2024 on Aug. 7, 2024 to amend the town's 2020 Comprehensive Plan and incorporate the Stories of the Chesapeake Heritage Area Management Plan; the Planning Commission had already recommended the change and no public comment was received at the hearing.
The Trappe Town Council voted unanimously Aug. 7 to adopt Resolution 4-2024, amending the town's 2020 Comprehensive Plan to incorporate the Stories of the Chesapeake Heritage Area Management Plan into Trappe's planning documents.
President Schmidt read the resolution at the public hearing; Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan told the Council the Trappe Planning Commission had reviewed the proposal and adopted its own recommendation to amend the Comprehensive Plan. With no public comment, Commissioner Rose Potter moved to adopt Resolution 4-2024; Commissioner Walter Chase seconded the motion and the minutes record the vote as unanimously approved.
The change brings Trappe into the Stories of the Chesapeake Heritage Area, which the minutes note as an addition that the town had not previously joined while other Talbot County towns had. The Council's action integrates that management plan into Trappe's planning framework and clears the way for any cooperative heritage-area projects that depend on Comprehensive Plan alignment.
The Council's minutes state the public hearing received no public comment and record the adoption as final action taken at the Aug. 7 meeting.
