[ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS]
EVENING CHAIR CALLS THE ORDER ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS FOR ZONING APPEAL.CASE NUMBER 59 OR EXCUSE, YEAH.
59 55 TABERNACLE OF FAITH CHURCH.
UM, MS. MACKENZIE, I UNDERSTAND YOU WANTED TO SPEAK THIS EVENING.
UH, IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME FORWARD, MR. YOUNG, UH, MR. YURIC, AS I'M SURE YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH, UH, EACH OF EACH SIDE WILL HAVE 15 MINUTES TO PRE, UH, PRESENT YOUR CASE.
AND, UH, YOU MAY WANNA RESERVE SOME TIME AT THE END FOR REBUTTAL.
AND MS. MACKENZIE, YOU AND MR. YOUNG WILL BE SPLITTING 15 MINUTES.
SO, UM, WHICHEVER ONE OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO START FIRST, PLEASE.
MY THOUGHT WOULD BE THAT SINCE MS. MCKENZIE FILED THIS PRO SE, SHE WOULD GO FIRST.
MR. URIC WOULD THEN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND AND THEN I COULD GO THIRD.
MS. MACKENZIE HAS THE, UM, PERSON WHO FILED THE REQUESTER FINAL ARGUMENT WILL HAVE THE BULK AT THE TIME FOR OUR SIDE.
WE DO NOT ACCEPT THE FINDINGS.
WE DO HAVE A COMPROMISE WITH A FULL BORDER ON BOTH SIDES, AND IT SHOULD BE EIGHT FEET TALL SO WE CAN HAVE PRIVACY FROM THAT MAN.
ALL THE NEIGHBORS AROUND US AROUND HIM HAVE WARNED US ABOUT THE PASTOR AXL.
WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN THE GUN SHOP, OWNER JACK WAS THE PERSON THAT TOLD US THAT HE BUILT ON THIS PROPERTY WHEN NOBODY WAS LIVING THERE.
PASTOR AXL HIMSELF TOLD US THAT HE COULDN'T GET ALONG WITH ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS.
WE WERE ALSO TOLD BY THE NEIGHBORS NEXT TO US THAT HE LIKED TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S KIDS WHEN THEY GOT OFF THE BUS EVERY DAY IT'S A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS.
PASTOR AXEL CLAIMS THAT HE GOT PERMISSION TO CUT DOWN TREES AND BUILD THE DRIVEWAY ACROSS OUR PROPERTY, BUT THERE IS ZERO LEGALITY TO THAT.
WE PAID TO HAVE A FULL SURVEY DONE AND THAT PROVES THAT HE BUILT ON OUR PROPERTY AT LET'S SAY ENCROACHMENT.
THEN PASTOR AXEL STARTED SCREAMING AT MY HUSBAND, TOM, THAT HE WILL NOT HELP FIX THE DAMAGE THAT HE CAUSED ON OUR PROPERTY.
THAT HE WOULD SUE US AND TAKE ALL OF OUR MONEY, AND THAT HE CAN PARK ANY CARS ON OUR PROPERTY, ON NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY ACROSS THE STREET AND ANYWHERE THAT HE WANTS TO, WHICH HE CANNOT.
WE KNOW WE ARE BEYOND GETTING HELP FROM HIM IN FIXING THIS ENCROACHMENT DAMAGES, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE A FENCE BUILT BETWEEN OUR PROPERTY, THE FULL LENGTH FROM THE ROAD TO THE CORN, THE REST, OTHER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, SO WE CAN HAVE PRIVACY FROM THAT.
WHEN YOU GO HOME TONIGHT, LOOK AT ALL THE CHURCHES AROUND AND SEE HOW MANY CHURCHES HAVE GATED LOTS WITH ALL OF THEIR LIGHTS OFF LIKE HIS CHURCH DOES.
I MAY COUNCIL THE ZOE BOARD CAN'T, CAN'T GO AROUND AND START LOOKING AT OVER PLACES.
I'M ONLY TIMED, I'VE NEVER, NEVER SEEN A CHURCH LIKE THIS.
HE PUTS CINDER BLOCKS ALONG THE EDGE OF THE ROAD, SO PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN USE IT AS A TURNAROUND.
IF THEY PASS A ROAD OR PASS WHERE THEY'RE TRYING TO GO TO AND HAVE TO TURN AROUND, THAT'S NOT COOL.
IT'S VERY SUSPICIOUS HOW HE MAKES BOLD CLAIMS ABOUT GIVING FOOD FROM THE MARYLAND FOOD BANK.
BUT SINCE HE HAS STARTED, YOU CANNOT FIND THAT LOCATION LISTED ON THE MARYLAND FOOD BANK'S WEBSITE FOR FAMILIES IN NEED.
YOU CAN FIND FAMILIES IN LIST EVERY OTHER PLACE EXCEPT THAT CHURCH.
I THINK THAT'S A LITTLE WEIRD.
HE HAS NUMEROUS DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT MOW HIS LAWN.
HE ALWAYS HAS TO GET DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT MOW HIS LAWN BECAUSE HE DOESN'T PAY THEM AND HE HAS TO ALWAYS GET UNWORTHY PEOPLE TO DO IT.
HE LITERALLY TOLD ONE LAWNMOWER PEOPLE THAT THAT CORNER OF OUR PROPERTY WAS HIS AND TO COME OVER AND TAKE ANY FIREWOOD.
HE'S LITERALLY LIED ABOUT EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE THAT HE HAS MENTIONED US.
IN HIS 25 PAGE APPLICATION, HE MADE A FALSE POLICE REPORT, LIED TO THE POLICE, HAD THEM LOOKING FOR MY HUSBAND WITH A FALSE NAME FOR OVER A WEEK FOR A PEACE ORDER THAT HE COMPLETELY LIED ABOUT.
I SHOULD BE THE ONE GETTING A PEACE ORDER AGAINST HIM TO PROTECT MY KIDS FROM HIM.
HE ALSO HAD FRITZ FROM MR. FRITZ FROM FRITZ'S NURSERY COME OUT THERE AND MAKE CLAIMS ABOUT NOTHING GROWS ON OUR PROPERTY OR ON THE LINE WHEN THEY, I SAW THEM OUT THERE, THEY WERE OUT THERE IN THE RAIN.
YOU DID NO SOIL SAMPLES OR ANYTHING.
SO ANY CLAIMS THAT MR. FRITZ FROM FRITZ'S NURSERY HAS ARE 100% INVALID CUZ HIS PROPERTY IS IT GATED AT THE FRONT.
HE HAD LAWNMOWER PEOPLE DRIVE THROUGH OUR YARD TO THE CORNER OF OUR PR.
FINAL STRAW IS THAT HE'S, WE'VE SEEN HIM TAKING PICTURES OF OUR KIDS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS, AGES FIVE AND TWO.
THERE NEEDS TO BE A PRIVACY FENCE.
SO WE HAVE PRIVACY PROTECT OUR KIDS FROM HIM.
[00:05:01]
THAT'S IT.THIS IS A STRAIGHTFORWARD LEGAL MATTER.
THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER ISSUES BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
UM, BUT I'D URGE THE COUNSEL TO BE FOCUSED ON THE DECISION THAT WAS ISSUED BY MR. CAHO.
MR. CAHO, UM, REVIEWED THE APPLICATION, WHICH REQUESTED TWO VARIANCES.
THE FIRST VA VARIANCE WAS FOR A SIDE BUFFER DOWN FROM 50 FEET TO 10 FEET.
AND THE SECOND VARIANCE WAS TO NOT HAVE A LANDSCAPING BUFFER, UM, IN THAT AREA BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THEY WOULD NOT GROW.
NO VEGETATION WOULD BE ABLE TO GROW IN THAT, UH, VEGETATIVE BUFFER OR, OR 10 FEET, WHICH WAS, UM, THE REQUEST TO HAVE IT PRODUCED DOWN TO THE PROPERTY TO MEET THOSE REQUESTS HAS TO BE TWO LEGAL, UH, STANDARDS.
THE VERSE OF THE PROPERTY HAS TO BE FOUND.
MR. CAHO FOUND THAT THE PROPERTY WAS UNIQUE BECAUSE THERE'S EXCESS DRAINAGE, UH, DOWN TO THIS PROPERTY.
IT SITS BELOW A LOT OF THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES WITH A GENERALLY SIGNIFICANT BREED.
AND AS A RESULT OF THAT, THERE IS A SAND MOUND ON THE PROPERTY.
UM, TO BE ABLE TO TOOK UP SOME OF THAT WATER WHILE IS OUR POSITION THAT THAT'S A VERY UNIQUE, UH, STANDARD FOR UNIQUENESS.
WE BELIEVE THAT ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IN DECISION 51 0 1, THE PROPERTY HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ADJUDICATED TO BE UNIQUE THAT THE PROPERTY IS UNIQUE.
THE SECOND FACTOR THAT HAS TO BE MET IS IT HAS TO BE FOUND THAT THE APPROVAL WOULD NOT HAVE A MATERIALLY ADVERSE IMPACT ON THIS PROPERTY.
UM, IT WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE NEIGHBORS.
YOU'VE JUST HEARD FROM MS. MCKENZIE FOR REASONS WHY SHE BELIEVES THAT THE IMPACT AS APPROVED WOULD HAVE A GREATER ADVERSE IMPACT ONTO HER PROPERTY THAN WHAT SHOULD BE APPROVED, UM, BY THE BOARD.
SPECIFICALLY, SHE HAS SAID THAT THE MR PAYMENT DETERMINED THAT THE PROPERTY SHOULD HAVE A FENCE OF SIX FOOT IN HEIGHT ALONG THE NEW PARKING LOT AREA ONLY.
THIS PROPERTY IS A LITTLE BIT UNUSUAL AS TO WHERE THE PARKING LOT IS PROPOSED TO BE LOCATED BECAUSE WE HAVE THE MAIN ROAD.
YOU ACCESS A PARKING LOT WITH A DRIVE THAT BORDERS MS. MCKENZIE'S PROPERTY, AND THEN YOU MAKE A A SHARP MONTH TURN IN THAT 10 RIGHT AT THAT 10 FOOT BUFFER, UM, TO GET BACK TO THE NEW PARKING LOT.
SO ONLY THE PORTION BEHIND MS. MACKENZIE'S PROPERTY WILL HAVE THAT SIX FOOT FENCE.
WHAT SHE HAS JUST REQUESTED IS THAT YOU ALSO REQUIRE THERE TO BE A FENCE ALONG THE DRIVE FROM THE MAIN ROAD ALONG THE DRIVE TO ACCESS THAT LEFTHAND TURN SO THAT THE FULL PROPERTY IS SCREENED AND NOT JUST WHERE THE PROPOSED USE WOULD BE IMPOSED.
GENERALLY, IF THE CODE REQUIRES THAT WHEN THE USE IS EXPANDED, THAT WOULD BE THE PORTION WHERE THE FENCE WOULD BE ESTABLISHED.
YOU ALSO HEARD A REQUEST, AN EIGHT FOOT FENCE BECAUSE IT'S HER BELIEF THAT DUE TO THAT SLOPE, A SIX FOOT FENCE WOULD BE INSUFFICIENT AND THAT AN EIGHT FOOT FENCE WOULD BE REQUIRED.
THE DETERMINATION OF THE VEGETATIVE BUFFER WAS SUPPORTED BY MR. PERS TESTIMONY, AND SO WE DON'T CONTEST THAT.
I BELIEVE THE ISSUE BEFORE YOU IS HOW FAR OF THE FENCE WILL HAVE TO EXTEND AND THE HEIGHT OF THAT FENCE WE WOULD SUBMIT ON THAT.
UH, MR. YOUNG, YOU HAVE NINE MINUTES REMAINING.
UM, MR. JERK, GOOD AFTERNOON OR EVENING RATHER.
THE FIRST COUPLE MINUTES, YOU HEARD A LOT OF THINGS THAT WEREN'T EVER IN THE RECORD AND WERE NOT DISCUSSED BEFORE THE HEARING.
THIS, THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT REALLY HERE.
I'M NOT GONNA SPEND TIME ADDRESSING IT OTHER THAN SAY THAT THIS CHURCH HAS A VERY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL THE NEIGHBORS EXCEPT ONE.
THEY'VE BEEN ENTERED INTO AGREEMENTS, THEY'VE BEEN INTO WRITTEN AGREEMENTS.
THEY'VE WORKED VERY WELL WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEY'RE A CHURCH THAT SERVES PEOPLE.
THEY'VE BEEN THERE SINCE 1990.
THEY'VE BOUGHT A BUILDING ALREADY IN EXISTENCE.
THEY DID NOT BUILD IT WHEN NO ONE WAS THERE.
THIS WAS A FUNCTIONING CHURCH BEFORE.
AND SINCE 1990, THEY'VE BEEN THERE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.
YOU'VE, THE RECORD TALKS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE EVENTS.
THEY'RE BESIDES JUST CHURCH SERVICES.
THEY'VE HAD FINANCIAL TRAINING SESSIONS OVER THE YEARS.
THEY'VE HAD FORECLOSURE SESSIONS.
ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO, THEY STARTED A FOOD BANK JUNCTION WITH THE MARYLAND FOOD BANK, UH, WHICH IS A NONPROFIT THAT IS QUITE EASY TO FIND.
UH, IF YOU DO ANY SEARCHING, THEY, THEY ONCE A MONTH BRING IN A TRUCK, UNLOAD IT, AND THEN PEOPLE COME AND PICK UP FOOD.
THIS, OVER THE YEARS, HAS EVOLVED BECAUSE OF THE LOGISTICS.
THIS LOT THAT THEY'RE ON IS ONLY ABOUT 2.4 ACRES AND IT'S IN A VERY ODD SHAPE.
IT'S SORT OF LIKE AN UP UPSIDE DOWN L IT'S NOT RECTANGULAR.
IT'S NOT, UH, A A UNIFORM TYPE OF LOT.
[00:10:01]
THE SPACE IS VERY LIMITED.IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH WAS THE ORIGINAL PARKING LOT, WHICH HOLDS ABOUT 30 TO 32 CARS.
THEIR ROADS AROUND IT ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR PARKING ALONGSIDE THE ROAD.
UH, THEY'VE TRIED TO RUN THE CHURCH TO NOT INTERFERE WITH THE TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD OR CAUSE HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS.
UH, WHAT THEY FOUND WAS THAT THE TR FOOD TRUCK NEEDS TO COME IN AND UNLOAD.
UH, THEY EVENTUALLY DEVELOPED A DRIVE THROUGH SERVICE WHERE THE VOLUNTEERS WOULD SHOW UP IN THE MORNING.
UH, THEY'D PARK OFF TO THE SIDE WHERE THE PARKING LOT NEW PARKING LOT IS LOCATED.
IT HOLDS ABOUT 10 TO 15 CARS AT MOST.
THEY PARK THERE TO LEAVE THE MAIN PARKING LOT FREE.
THE TRUCK COMES IN WITH NO CARS IN THERE.
IT PULLS AROUND AND STOPS IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH.
THEY PUT THE FOOD THERE, AND THEN THE TRUCK LEAVES.
AS THEY COME IN, THEY PARK TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE ROAD.
THEY DIRECT TWO CARS AT A TIME UP FRONT.
THEY DRIVE THROUGH, THEY PICK UP THEIR FOOD, THEY DRIVE OUT.
THIS HAS BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFUL USE OF THE PROPERTY, GIVEN THE LIMITATIONS OF IT.
THAT'S ABOUT THE ONLY WAY LOGISTICALLY THAT IT CAN BE DONE.
THE UNIQUENESS OF THE PROPERTY IS CAUSED WHAT CAUSES THEM TO ADJUST IT.
BUT TO DO IT THIS WAY, UH, THE BACKSIDE, AS MR. CA WHO CAHO POINTED OUT AND SAW, HAS A GROUP OF SAND MOUNTS AND SEPTIC, UH, FACILITIES THAT LIMIT EVEN MORE THE AMOUNT OF USABLE SPACE ON THIS LOT.
UH, THAT IF THOSE WEREN'T THERE, THERE WOULD BE MORE SPACE TO MAYBE PARK CARS ELSEWHERE.
BUT THEY'RE VERY LIMITED TO A VERY SMALL AREA.
IT IS A ONE THAT THE UNIQUENESS CAUSES PROBLEMS. UH, THE WAY THAT THEY USE IT ALLOWS THEM TO MAKE USE OF IT TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.
THEY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 200 PEOPLE WHO COME THROUGH EVERY MONTH, UH, TO RECEIVE FOOD.
UH, THE LOT ITSELF WOULDN'T BE CONDUCIVE TO ANY OTHER USE.
THE INITIAL COMPLAINT WAS ABOUT THE SETBACKS.
UH, THE DEPARTMENT CAME OUT, LOOKED AT IT, AND THEY, THEY AGREED THAT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO CHANGE THE SETBACK FROM 50 TO 10 FEET.
UH, BUT THEY WANTED, AS THE CODE REQUIRES A VEGETATIVE BORDER, UH, THE AREA WHERE THE WOULD THIS WOULD BE NEEDED IS REALLY NOT A GOOD PLACE TO GROW THINGS.
MR. FRITZ FROM FRITZ'S FARMING, UH, AS AN EXPERT, HE WAS ON CONTRADICTED.
MR. CAHO ACCEPTED THAT THIS WAS UNCONTRADICTED AND THAT VEGETATION WAS NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION HERE.
SO HE RE REQUIRED, ASKED THAT THE CHURCH PUT UP A FENCE THAT WOULD SERVE AS A OB OKAY.
SCREEN TO BLOCK THE VIEW OF THE NEW PARKING LOT.
I THINK THAT HE DID A WELL RECENT, UH, OPINION.
THERE'S NO WAY TO SATISFY EVERYBODY, BUT HE DID SOME COMPROMISES, UH, THAT ARE VERY APPROPRIATE.
AND IN NO WAY COULD YOU SAY THAT HE ABUSED HIS DISCRETION IN HIS ANALYSIS AND HIS RECOMMENDATIONS.
UH, I WOULD ASK YOU TO AFFIRM HIM, GO WITH HIS RECOMMENDATIONS.
UH, HE, YOU'VE GOT THE REPORTS OF THE DEPARTMENT.
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WAS RAISED WHEN THE A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WAS THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBLE ENCROACHMENT, UH, THE DEPARTMENT LOOKED INTO THAT.
THEY REQUIRED THE CHURCH TO PROVIDE A PLOT MAT, UH, AS TO ACCESS THROUGH THE FRONT PARKING LOT INTO THE BACK.
UH, THAT IS IN THE CHURCH, PROVIDED ONE, UH, IN MY PACKET.
THE ONE THAT'S IN THE COURT RECORD.
THERE WAS NOT NUMBERED FOR SOME REASON.
UH, BUT IT SHOWS HOW PEOPLE ACCESS THE PARKING AREA.
IT AND DO NOT NEED TO ENCROACH UPON OR CROSS ANYONE ELSE'S
[00:15:01]
PROPERTY.UH, IF THE, WOULD THE COUNCIL ELECTED TO SEE THIS, IS IT IN THE PACKET NOW, MR. KE? THAT IS ACTUALLY IS IS THE EXHIBIT FROM THE PACKET.
BUT ANYWAY, IF YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT, THE, THE ACCESS IN AND OUT IS QUITE, THERE'S QUITE ADEQUATE.
THE CHURCH RECONFIGURED THE AREAS THAT THERE WAS A CLEAR ACCESS TO THE SMALL PARKING AREA IN THE BACK.
AND FOR NOW, I THINK I'LL STOP THERE AND I'LL JUST ASK YOU TO GO ALONG WITH MR. CALE.
YOU STILL HAVE EIGHT MINUTES, 50 SECONDS FOR ANY TYPE OF REBUTTAL IF YOU NEED IT.
UM, MR. YOUNG, NOTHING FURTHER.
UM, WE DON'T ACCEPT THE FINDINGS.
BOTTOM LINE IS HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BUILD ON OUR PROPERTY TO BEGIN WITH, AND HE DID IT ANYWAY AND HE LIED ABOUT IT.
UH, IT'S JUST HE'S SHOWN THE TYPE OF PERSON HUMAN BEING THAT HE IS, LIKE HIS TYPE OF CHARACTER.
I DON'T THINK HE'S A MAN OF GOD, MS. MCKENZIE.
I DON'T, WE WE NEED PRIVACY FROM THAT MAN.
AND HONESTLY, I THINK IT'S A FRAUDULENT CHURCH.
I DON'T THINK IT'S ACCEPTABLE THAT HE'S ALLOWED TO BE DOING THIS.
I, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PARKING LOTS, BUT HE BUILT OVER OUR PROPERTY 100%.
IT'S NOT A, NOT A CLAIM OF MAYBE AN ENCROACHMENT LIKE HE DEFINITELY DID.
AND WE ARE HERE BECAUSE WE TRUST THE SYSTEM.
WE WANT IT DONE AND OVER WITH.
MR. URIC, ANYTHING ELSE? EXTREMELY BRIEFLY CUZ I REALLY THINK MOST OF THAT DOESN'T EVEN NEED COMMENT ON THE CHURCH HAD ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHERE THEY HAD AN EASEMENT TO DRIVE ACROSS THE CORNER.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE CHURCH DID NOT REALIZE THAT WITH AN EASEMENT YOU HAVE TO FILE IT WITH THE LAND RECORDS OFFICE TO MAKE IT APPLICABLE TO LATER OWNERS OF THE SAME PROPERTY.
SO ONCE THE PROPERTY WAS SOLD, THE EASEMENT WAS NO LONGER VALID.
HOWEVER, THE INITIAL EASEMENT WAS DONE AND NEGOTIATED BETWEEN TWO FRIENDLY NEIGHBORS PUT IN WRITING.
THEY GOT ALONG VERY, VERY WELL.
ANYTHING FURTHER THEN THIS WILL, UH, CONCLUDE, UH, ZONING APPEAL CASE 59 55 AND WE WILL TAKE IT UP AT ANOTHER MEETING.
AND WE'RE GONNA TAKE A SHORT RECESS.
[1. CALL TO ORDER]

HE ASKED ME TO EXPRESS AGAIN THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE FILED IN THE COURT OF HARVARD COUNTY GOVERNOR FILED BY HARFORD COUNTY GOVERNMENT, NOT BY THE HARFORD COUNTY COUNCIL.

AND WHEREAS THE HARTFORD COUNTY CAUCUSES OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN LEADERS WERE FORMED IN 2018 TO ADVOCATE FOR FAIRNESS, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN THE COUNTY.
THEY WORKED DILIGENTLY WITH OTHER COMMUNITY GROUPS TO TEACH AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY, RAISE SOCIAL JUSTICE AWARENESS AND PRONE EVENTS THAT INSPIRE FUTURE LEADERS.

WE SHOULD ALL COMMIT TO THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE IN ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES.
WE KNOW THE ONLY THING MORE EXPENSIVE THAN EDUCATION IS IGNORANCE.
I'VE READ WITH GREAT INTERESTS ABOUT THE PLAN TO PETITION THE MARYLAND SUPREME COURT TO POST POSTHUMOUSLY ADMIT EDWARD GARRISON DRAPER TO THE MARYLAND BAR.
HE WAS DENIED ADMISSION IN 1857 BECAUSE HE WAS NOT A FREE WHITE CITIZEN.
JUDGE Z IS COLLINS LEE, A FIRST COUSIN TO GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE EXAMINED HIM AND FOUND HIM TO BE QUALIFIED IN ALL ASPECTS.
TOO OFTEN AFRICAN AMERICANS LIKE MR. DRAPER, THOUGH QUALIFIED, HAVE BEEN DENIED, DIMINISHED, AND DISMISSED IN THEIR PURSUIT OF EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, HOUSING, THANK YOU.

UM, AND THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM, IF WE CAN GET TO THE SECOND SLIDE, UH, IS SIMPLY TO, UH, REDUCE, TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF VIOLATIONS AND IMPROVE, UM, SAFETY TO STOP PEOPLE FROM PASSING BUSES, UH, WHEN THEY'RE, UH, PICKING UP OR DISCHARGING CHILDREN, UH, AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE CHILDREN TO AND FROM, UH, SCHOOL.
UH, WE HAVE SEEN THIS AS AN ISSUE IN OUR COMMUNITY, UH, SOMETHING THAT THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD HAS DISCUSSED MANY TIMES AND WE CAN SKIP SKIP TO THE NEXT ONE.
IN 2014, THE COUNCIL, UM, PASSED, UH, BILL THAT GAVE THE SHERIFF THE AUTHORITY TO, UH, ESTABLISH A AUTOMATED, UH, SCHOOL BUS STOP, ARM CAMERA PROGRAM.
UH, WE WORKED, UH, WITH THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD OVER SINCE THAT TIME.
UM, LOOKING PARTICULARLY AT A COMPANY, UH, PREVIOUSLY, AND I THINK WE SPOKE ABOUT IT HERE DURING ONE OF OUR TRAFFIC SAFETY, UH, BRIEFINGS CALLED BUS PATROL.
AND, UM, THAT COMPANY TOLD US A LOT OF GOOD THINGS.
WE MOVED FORWARD, UM, WE WERE DEVELOPING AN MOU WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD, UH, FOR THAT COMPANY.
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, UM, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THE FINE AMOUNT WAS $125 AS ESTABLISHED BY CODE, UH, THEY DECIDED, UH, TO, AT THE LAST MOMENT AFTER THE PROGRAM WAS ANNOUNCED TO DECIDE THEY COULD DO IT FOR NO LESS THAN TWO 50.
UM, I HAVE SAID FROM THE OUTSET, I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF AUTOMATED ENFORCEMENT, UH, IN A LARGE AMOUNT.
UH, THERE'S A PERSPECTIVE OUT THERE, AND I UNDERSTAND IT A LOT THAT, UH, WE ARE NOT ABOUT POLICING FOR PROFIT.
AS I SAID ON THE SECOND SLIDE, WE ARE ABOUT IMPROVING PUBLIC SAFETY, UH, AND THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN, AND THAT IS WHAT ENFORCEMENT SHOULD BE TARGETED FOR, NOT FOR, UH, MAKING MONEY.
SO WHEN THEY CAME BACK WANTING TO MAKE TWICE AS MUCH MONEY, UH, WE PASSED ON THEM.
UH, THANKFULLY, UH, ANGEL TRACKS, WHICH ALREADY HAD THE SCHOOL CONTRACT FOR THE CAMERAS ON THE BUSES, UM, THAT MONITORED THE INSIDE THE BUS.
THEY HAVE DEVELOPED THEIR OWN STOP ARM PROGRAM.
AND, UH, AFTER, UH, WORKING AGAIN WITH THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD AND WE'VE, THIS, WE WERE ABLE TO GO LIVE ON THAT JUST LAST WEEK.
AND IF WE CAN SKIP TO THE NEXT SLIDE, UM, STARTING LAST WEEK ON THE 15TH, ANYONE WHO PASSES, UH, ONE OF, UH, 20 20% OF THE FLEET, A HUNDRED BUSES OUT OF 500, IS THAT RIGHT? CORRECT.
HAVE BEEN OUTFITTED WITH THE STOP ARM CAMERA.
UM, THAT WAS DONE AT NO COST TO HARTFORD COUNTY OR TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.
SIMPLY A, UH, A CONTRACT WHERE THE SCHOOL BUS, WE CAN SKIP THE NEXT ONE.
UM, WHEN THE CAM, WHEN THE CITATIONS ARE REVIEWED, HALF OF THE FINE AMOUNT OF $125 GOES TO THE VENDOR TO PAY FOR THE EQUIPMENT THAT'S ON THE BUSES.
AND THE OTHER 50% COMES BACK TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, WHICH WHAT WILL BE, UH, IN TIME A, UH, A FUND THAT ALLOWS US TO HIRE SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT THESE.
RIGHT NOW, SERGEANT EATON IN OUR TRAFFIC SECTION HAVE THE ADDITIONAL DUTY, IN ADDITION TO HANDLING MANY, MANY REQUESTS FOR, UH, ACTUAL ENFORCEMENT, UH, PUTTING A DEPUTY OUT OF THE SCENE.
OUR FIVE PERSON TRAFFIC UNIT, UH, HAS, HAS THAT FOR THE ENTIRE 440 SQUARE MILES OF OUR COUNTY.
SO THIS IS AN ADDED RESPONSIBILITY ON THAT UNIT.
WE HOPE TO HIRE AN ADDITIONAL PERSON WITH THE FUNDS, ANY SURPLUS FUNDS BEYOND WHAT IT COSTS FOR THAT POSITION WILL BE USED TO IMPROVE, UH, TRAFFIC SAFETY OR PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, UH, HERE IN THE COUNTY AS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD ARE PARTNERS ON THAT.
UM, I DO HAVE A VIDEO THAT WE HAVE PULLED, AND THIS WAS FROM THE FIRST DAY OF ENFORCEMENT, I BELIEVE.
AND IF YOU CAN SEE THE STOP ARMS EXTENDED, 1, 2, 3.
UH, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE STOPPING.
THIS IS PHILADELPHIA ROAD, UH, ROUTE SEVEN, WHICH IS A WELL TRAVELED ROAD.
AND JUST FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS, ALTHOUGH THAT FIRST BUS, THAT FIRST CAR DID PASS IT, THE FIRST CAR DID NOT GET A CITATION.
IT WASN'T CLOSE ENOUGH FOR US TO, TO FEEL THAT THAT WAS A CITATION, BUT OB, THE SECOND TWO, A HUNDRED PERCENT GOT IT.
UH, THE, THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE RECEIVES $125 CITATION IN THE MAIL.
[00:45:01]
UH, IT'S, IT'S A LONG OVERDUE, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE AGAIN, WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, WE ARE FINALLY HERE.AND WITH THAT, I'M GONNA LET MS. SPEND TAKE THE REST.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME HERE THIS EVENING.
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED THAT THIS IS UP AND RUNNING.
UM, AGAIN, IT IS A LONG TIME COMING, BUT IT'S REALLY, UM, A TESTAMENT TO THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION OF EVERYONE, UM, FOR STUDENT SAFETY.
UM, SO OUR PARTNERS IN THAT SAFETY PROJECT HAVE BEEN, AGAIN, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
THANK YOU TO SHERIFF GAYLOR FOR ALL OF HIS DEDICATION TO THIS, THE TRAFFIC UNIT, UM, MARYLAND STATE POLICE, AND THEN AGAIN OUR TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD AND THEN ALSO OUR, UM, HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL BUS CONTRACTORS AS WELL.
UM, THEY WERE ALL PART OF THIS, UM, REALLY AN EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT YOU JUST SAW, UM, IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REALLY TRY TO, UM, ELIMINATE HOPEFULLY ALL TOGETHER.
UM, THE OTHER GREAT THING WITH THIS PROGRAM IS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT MORE TARGETED ENFORCEMENTS.
SO WE'LL HAVE THE DATA, UM, TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
THEY CAN ALSO SEE THE INFORMATION, UM, BECAUSE AGAIN, THE FINE IS ONLY $125 IF YOU ARE, UM, CAUGHT ON CAMERA.
HOWEVER, UM, IF YOU ARE STOPPED BY AN OFFICER, THE FINE, UM, IS MUCH GREATER AND THERE ARE POINTS ASSOCIATED WITH US.
DOES THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THEM TO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND REALLY TARGET STATE SPECIFIC, UM, TIME SPECIFIC FOR THOSE ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS.
UM, SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
THAT'S REALLY ALL WE HAVE FOR YOU THIS EVENING.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? WE ARE AVERAGING 20, I THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY AT ERIC ROBBIE, CRUCIAL SHALL WE'RE ARE AVERAGING ABOUT 21 VIOLATIONS A DAY, UH, IN 21 A DAY.
21 A DAY ON ONLY THE A HUNDRED BUSES ON ONLY A HUNDRED BUSES.
SO ONLY ON ONE OUT OF EVERY FIVE BUSES.
UM, IS IT LIVE STREAMED TO, IS IT A LIVE FEED THAT THEN GOES TO THE, UH, THE POLICE OFFICE OR IS IT, IS IT, UM, ANGEL TRACKS TAPE AND THEN SENT IN? ANGEL TRACKS ACTUALLY DOES THE DOWNLOAD.
THE, THE COMPANY THAT WE'VE CONTRACTED WITH, WITH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM'S CONTRACTED WITH, THEY, UM, NOTE THE VIOLATIONS AND THEY WEED OUT ANYTHING THAT THEY DON'T FEEL IS A VIOLATION.
AND BY CODE, SOMEONE FROM THE HARFORD COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, UH, CAN BE A SWORN OR CIVILIAN EMPLOYEE HAS TO REVIEW THAT BEFORE THE CITATION, WATCH THAT VIDEO AND FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THE CITATION IS APPROPRIATE AND IS IN THE VIDEO.
WE SAW, UH, WHEN THAT HAPPENED, THE, THE SECOND TWO VEHICLES WERE BOTH CITED, SO IT'S SAVED.
SO THAT IN CASE, OKAY, THAT WAS MY FIRST QUESTION.
SECOND QUESTION IS CAN PEOPLE CHALLENGE THAT? UM, AND IS THERE ANY PRECEDENCE FOR COURT FOR THIS? WHAT WOULD THE, YOU KNOW, IF THEY, IF THEY GET A CITATION, DO THEY THEN CHALLEN, CAN THEY CHALLENGE IT? SURE, THEY COULD CHALLENGE IT FOR SURE.
UM, YOU KNOW, AND THAT WOULD REALLY BE UP TO OBVIOUSLY THE JUDGE AT THAT POINT, UM, HOW THEY WOULD WANNA PROCEED WITH THAT.
AND I'LL, I'LL GO TO COURT AND THEN, UM, THE, I GUESS THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE, YOU MENTIONED THAT IT'S POINTS, UM, THAT ARE ASSOCIATED.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY POINTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT? I BELIEVE IT'S A THREE POINT VIOLATION, RIGHT? IF A, IF A OFFICER SEES SOMEBODY INCITES THEM.
NOT WITH THE AUTOMATED ENFORCEMENT.
NOT WITH THE AUTOMATED AUTOMATION STRICTLY $125 CIVIL FINE.
UM, I, I'VE JUST TESTIFIED IN COURT THE OTHER DAY ON A RED LIGHT ON A, UH, STOP SCHOOL BY STOP MY FIRST TIME TESTIFYING IN COURT IN ABOUT 15 YEARS AND IT WAS A STOP ARM AND I, WE HAD A VISITING JUDGE, $300 AND THREE POINTS TO THE VIOLATOR.
I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY QUESTIONS I HAVE.
UH, I JUST HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT UPDATE, THE RESPONSIBILITY.
WOULD THAT BE ON ANGEL TRACKS AS WELL? UH, UPGRADES AND SOFTWARE AND THAT, SO THAT IS ALL PART OF THE CONTRACT WITH THEM, THAT THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.
AND THEN THE STORAGE FOR THE VIOLATIONS FOR COURT, IS THAT SOMETHING THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE OR IT'S JUST IN A CLOUD FOR ANGEL TRACKS.
SO WE DO HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM THAT THEY HAVE TO RETAIN THAT FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME JUST IN CASE THERE WOULD BE A CHALLENGE TO THAT.
SO THEY, THEY DO RETAIN THAT FOR A YEAR.
SO MR. ROB, I SAW YOU JUMP UP TO THE FRONT DESK HERE.
I'M SURE YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD,
MR. RILEY, DO YOU PLAN ON EXPANDING THIS PROGRAM? IT WOULD BE OUR HOPE TO, AND I, I THINK THE EARLY RESULTS ARE SHOWING, UM, HOW MUCH IN NEED IT IS AND I, I THINK DRIVING BEHAVIORS, UH, IN TODAY'S WORLD HAVE BECOME SO MUCH WORSE.
DISTRACTED DRIVING PHONES, UH, AND AGAIN, WE JUST TOOK ONE DAY TO PULL YOU THAT SAMPLE OF THREE CARS GOING BY THAT BOX, SO I, YEAH, WE CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH THAT VENDOR, UM, TO EXPAND IT AS THE SCHOOL SYSTEM DEEMS APPROPRIATE.
UM, YEAH, YOU HAVE A HUNDRED OUT OF 500, 500 BUSES.
[00:50:01]
YEAH, SO WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 500 BUSES INCLUDING SPARES.SO THERE'S 400 DON'T HAVE, CORRECT.
AND YOU GET, YOU SAID YOU'RE GETTING 21 A DAY ON AVERAGE RIGHT NOW ON AVERAGE.
I WAS JUST DOING SOME QUICK MATH AND, UH, SO 21 A DAY TIMES 400, IF YOU HAD ALL THE BUSES, THAT'D BE 8,400.
HOW MANY DAYS ARE YOU USING ONE? BECAUSE IF YOU GOT, IF YOU'RE, YOU'RE SAYING YOU GIVE 21 A DAY TO A HUNDRED BUSES, SO IF YOU ADD 400 BUSES TO IT, YOU ADD 21 A DAY, THAT'S 8,400.
SO THAT'S, SO COUNT COUNT THREE, THAT'S, THAT'S 21 TOTAL OUT OF THE 100 BUSES, RIGHT? 21 CITATIONS TOTAL A DAY.
YEAH, BUT YOU SAVE 21 FOR A HUNDRED, SO THAT WOULD BE 21 FOR EACH ONE OF THE OTHER HUNDREDS.
IF, IF YOU HAD 400, IF YOU HAD ALL THE BUSES WITH CAMERAS ON, 'EM, YOU WITH ME? OKAY.
YOU MAKING YOU DO MATH ON A, UH,
THERE'S WRONG, YOU KNOW, ANY QUESTION I, I THINK KEEP IN MIND HERE TOO THAT THE, THE WAY THE BUSES THAT WERE SELECTED, THE SCHOOL SYSTEM DOES A SELF-ASSESSMENT SURVEY EVERY YEAR.
SO THE BUS DRIVERS FOR ONE WEEK, THEY'LL GO AROUND AND THEY'LL ACTUALLY REPORT THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS OR VEHICLES THAT ACTUALLY RAN THAT STOP ARM.
SO THOSE 20% OF THE BUSES ARE ACTUALLY THE BUSES WHERE THEY'RE, SEE WHERE WE'RE SEEING THE MOST VIOLATORS THAT ARE OCCURRING.
WE EXPECTED TO SEE THE MOST VIOLENCE.
SO IS THERE, IS THERE, UH, UH, ARE YOU PLANNING TO, UH, AT SOME POINT IN TIME, UH, UH, HIT ANOTHER HUNDREDTH AND ANOTHER A HUNDRED AND ANOTHER A HUNDRED? I THINK WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS WE'LL ASSESS IN A YEAR AND SEE WHERE WE ARE.
THE HOPE IS THAT WITH THIS TYPE OF PROGRAM, THAT THERE WOULDN'T ULTIMATELY BE A NEED FOR THIS, BUT IF THE NEED CONTINUES, THEN WE WOULD DEFINITELY LOOK FOR, OH, I THINK YOU ALWAYS NEED A NEED.
I MEAN, I SEE IT ALL, I SEE IT ALL THE TIME.
I, I, I STOPPED BEHIND THE BUS, YOU KNOW, AND DROP OF TOWN, UH, JUST ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND, UH, GUY COME BEHIND ME AND BLEW THE HORN, YOU KNOW, AND I WAVED AT HIM, BUT I DIDN'T USE ALL MY FINGERS.
UH, ONCE THE PUBLIC BECOMES AWARE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S LESS VIOLATIONS.
SO HOPEFULLY THE DETERRENT FACTOR DRIVES THAT NUMBER DOWN.
MR. BROWN, DO YOU HAVE A HIDA NUMBER FIVE? NOT REALLY, BUT I JUST WANTED TO THANK, UM, SHERIFF GAYLOR FOR WORKING WITH US.
UM, YOU KNOW, KATHY'S BEEN GREAT, UH, WORKING WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, JUST LAYING OUT THIS PROGRAM AND JUST STICKING THROUGH ALL THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS WORKING WITH THE VENDOR, UM, THAT DIDN'T, UM, POST AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD.
THE BOARD, THE SUPERINTENDENT IS JUST EXCITED THAT, UM, WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO START THIS PROGRAM AND AS WE START LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, THE RESULTS, UM, THE IDEA IS WITH OUR SPECIFICATIONS THAT WE WOULD, UM, EXPAND THAT AND MAKE IT A REQUIREMENT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
UM, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN THE, UM, YOU KNOW, BUSING ENVIRONMENT WITH ELECTRIC BUSES AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.
SO, UM, WE HAVE A LOT TO CONSIDER WHEN WE LOOK AT THE EQUIPMENT, THE TYPE OF EQUIPMENT, BUT SAFETY IS AT THE FOREFRONT.
SARGE, ANYTHING? NO, NOT AT ALL.
UH, COUNCILMAN, ANY OTHER COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

JOHN MALMO, FOLLOWED BY VERNA WHITE.
NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE, SIR.
GOOD EVENING TO YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES.
JOHN P MIMO 24 0 2 EAGLEVIEW DRIVE, BELLAIRE, MARYLAND.
MORE BACKGROUND NOW FOCUSING ON THE AIRPORT OWNER'S OPERATION.
EXHIBIT SUBMITTED TO THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS IN CASE 58 14 TO PROVE THAT NO MORE THAN 50% OF THE COMMERCIAL OPERATION IS CONDUCTED IN THE AG DISTRICT.
TWO OCTOBER, 2013, 16 MONTHS AFTER THE AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN WAS CONSTRUCTED.
IT WAS CONSTRUCTED BY THE FIRM OF THE OWNER'S EXPERT, LAND PLANNER AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT.
THIS IS THE AIRPORT OPERATION THE OWNERS REQUESTED.
WE NOTE THAT THE COMMERCIAL OPERATION INCLUDES ALL BUILDINGS, PAVEMENT AREAS, AIRCRAFT, PARKING AND STORAGE AREAS, AND ONLY ONE RUNWAY APPROACH.
PATHS ARE 500 AND 800 FEET, YET RESPECTIVE ENDS OF THE RUNWAY.
NO TRAFFIC PATTERN, NO ACCESSORY USES.
THESE ARE OBVIOUS DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN AND THE OPERATIONS EXHIBIT.
THE HAR HEARING EXAMINER FOUND THE HARFORD COUNTY ZONING CO CODE REQUIREMENTS REQUIRED IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE COMMERCIAL OPERATION BETWEEN AG AND GI DISTRICTS WAS MET BASED UPON THE OPERATION EXHIBIT, REVIEWING THE CODE REQUIREMENTS AIRPORT APPROACH AND LANDING PADS AND AIRFIELD DESIGN CRITERIA MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF PUBLIC USE AIRPORTS AS SET FORTH IN THE RELATED CURRENT CODE OF MARYLAND REGULATIONS.
THE HEARING EXAMINER FOUND THIS REQUIREMENT MET BASED ON TESTIMONY FROM THE AA REPRESENTATIVE AND THE APPLICANT'S EXPERT AVIATION PLANNER, BOTH OF WHOM TESTIFIED IN ZONING CASE 58 14, THE COMPANY OF THE AIR EXPERT AVIATION PLANNER DREW THE AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN.
THE AA REPRESENTATIVE APPROVED THE AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN.
MR. G AND JARNELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON TERM LIMITS AND THE N R D BUMP UP AND YOUR CANDOR.
SIR, YOU HAVE PUBLICLY CONFIRMED MY SUSPICIONS THAT YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES LACK A FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF ZONING HARFORD COUNTY LAND USE PRACTICES AND ITS ZONING CODE.
MY GREAT FEAR IS THAT YOU AND A WILL BE MAKING DECISIONS ON ZONING AND LAND USE THAT WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT HARTFORD COUNTY WELL AFTER YOUR TERM OF SERVICE ENDS.
AFTER ALL, IT'S NOT HOW LONG YOU SERVICE, IT'S WHAT YOU DO WHILE YOU SERVE GOODNIGHT.
LINDA FLINT STEIN, FOLLOWED BY HOLLY MCCOMAS.
NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
UM, I'M LINDA STEIN FLINT FOR THREE WINSLOW DRIVE IN BELLAIRE.
UM, AND I'M TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT TERM LIMITS.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, I I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN TERM LIMITS.
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR PARTY IS, I'M A FIRM BELIEVER, BUT IT MUST BE DONE RIGHT.
UH, WE'VE HEARD THAT THERE MIGHT BE A BILL FOR ONE TERM OR EVEN TWO TERMS, AND THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE LOSE QUALIFIED PEOPLE AND IT SHOULD BE UP TO THE CITIZENS TO VOTE FOR WHO THEY WANT TO REPRESENT THEM ON THIS COUNCIL.
UM, YOU KNOW, AS A COUNCILMAN, IT CAN TAKE A YEAR OR TWO, UM, TO GET TO KNOW YOUR AREA AND WORKING IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND WE ALSO HAVE TO TAKE AN ACCOUNT, THE 10, THE THE 10 YEAR MASTER PLAN AND, AND ALL THESE OTHER PLANS THAT WE, UM, DO EVERY 10 AND EIGHT YEARS.
I MEAN, I'VE BEEN STILL LEARNING IT AND I'VE BEEN INVOLVED FOR A WHILE.
UM, AND A LOT OF CITIZENS DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS PROCESS, BUT THE CITIZENS HAVE A RIGHT TO ELECT THEIR COUNCIL MEMBER.
LIMITING TO ONE OR TWO TERMS IS NOT THE BEST INTEREST.
CITIZENS WILL VOTE OUT THE COUNCIL MEMBER AFTER A TERM OR TWO IF THEY'RE NOT DOING THEIR JOB.
WHEN I AM SUGGESTION IS THAT YOU TAKE A LOOK AND WHAT BALTIMORE CITY OF ALL PLACES, UM, BALTIMORE CITY HAS DONE, BUT THEIR QUESTION CAME THAT THEY PASSED THIS PAST ELECTION THAT WON, UH, WITH MORE THAN 70% OF THE VOTE.
IT CREATED TERM LIMITS FOR THE, UM, THE MAYOR, THE COMP OF THE CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT, AND THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
AND IT, UM, LETS HIM RUN WITH THREE CONSECUTIVE TERMS IN THE SAME POSITION, AND THEN YOU CAN RUN FOR SOMETHING ELSE IF YOU WANT, AND THEN YOU TAKE A FOR YOUR BREAK IF YOU WANT, AND THEN IF THE THE VOTERS WANT YOU BACK, YOU CAN COME BACK IN ON, ON THE COUNCIL, BUT WE NEED TO DO THIS, RIGHT? IT CREATED OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNGER OR OTHER COMMUNITY LEADERS TO SERVE AND, AND SO THEY, THEIRS DOESN'T TAKE EFFECT UNTIL 2024.
SO, UM, I JUST WANT, I'M JUST ASKING THAT YOU CONSIDER THIS.
[01:20:01]
I DID EMAIL, BUT, UM, COUNCIL MEMBERS PENMAN AND, UM, WILL SAS DON'T HAVE EMAIL ON THE WEBSITE, SO, UM, I DID SEND IT TO THE GENERAL BOX.UM, SO I'M JUST ASKING TO, UM, LET THIS BE DONE RIGHT AND, AND NOT PUSH SOMETHING THROUGH, UM, BECAUSE YOU, YOU WANNA MAKE A MARK.
UM, WE GOT TWO OTHER LITTLE QUICK THINGS.
ONE I HAD CONCERNED BECAUSE, UM, YOU KNOW, I HELP OUT A LOT IN THE WOOD 40 AREA AND, AND JUST RECENTLY THERE WAS A, A WOMAN WHO DOESN'T HAVE A CAR, AND, UM, SHE WAS STUCK AT THE GROCERY STORE IN EDGEWOOD BECAUSE THE, THE TRANSIT BUS WOULD NOT LET HER GET ON THE BUS BECAUSE SHE HAD MORE THAN FOUR SHOPPING BAGS.
AND SO SHE HAD TO CALL A FRIEND OF MINE TO HAVE HER COME PICK HER UP FROM THE GROCERY STORE BECAUSE SHE HAD MORE THAN FOUR SHOPPING BAGS, VERY FULL.
AND, YOU KNOW, THESE PEOPLE DEPEND ON THE BUS AND, AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S MAYBE THE DRIVER OR IF THAT'S A POLICY FOR THE BUS, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED AS WELL AS THE HOURS THAT THE BUS RUNS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THAT USE THE BUS, THEY DON'T HAVE TRANSPORTATION.
SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING ELSE TO CONSIDER.
AND ONE QUICK THING THAT WE JUST LEARNED THAT I'M VERY CONCERNED, ESPECIALLY SINCE I'M GETTING READY TO HAVE KNEE SURGERY, HARFORD, UM, UPPER CHESAPEAKE, UM, IS REPLACING THEIR DOCTORS.
UM, AND THEY, UM, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AND IS, WAS JUST PUBLISHED THAT THE TERMINATED, UM, UH, 98% OF THEIR WORKERS IN GOING INTO, PLEASE BRING YOUR COMMENTS TO A CLOSE MS. FLY.
GOOD EVENING, HOLLY MCCOMBS, 1826 PARK BEACH DRIVE, PERRYMAN.
I HAVE, UH, PROVIDED YOU ALL WITH A HANDOUT OF PICTURES.
UM, OUR GOOD HISTORIC OLD PHILADELPHIA ROAD GETS A HUGE SHOUT OUT TONIGHT, A COUPLE TIMES.
UM, JUST LETTING YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT YOU TO BE AWARE OF.
ON ROUTE 40, THERE'S A SIGN THAT CLEARLY SAYS NO TRUCKS OVER THREE QUARTER TON ON SOUTHBOUND OLD PHILADELPHIA ROAD.
IF YOU DRIVE SOUTHBOUND ON OLD PHILADELPHIA ROAD, LOOKING LEFT AND RIGHT, YOU SEE TRACTOR TRAILERS, TRUCKS PARKED DIFFERENT PLACES SPORADICALLY.
YOU ALSO WILL NOTICE A FANATICS WAREHOUSE THAT ZONING HAS ALLOWED TO BE THERE.
YOU WILL NOTICE A, UM, GARAGE FOR TRACTOR TRAILERS THAT REPAIRS TRACTOR TRAILERS THAT'S ALLOWED TO BE THERE, UM, OTHER WAREHOUSES.
UM, WHAT IS NOT SHOWN HERE IS AN AMAZON WAREHOUSE.
UM, MY MY QUESTION IS, DO THE TRACTOR TRAILERS ONLY GO NORTHBOUND ON THIS ROAD? THEY'RE TOLD THEY'RE TOLD NOT TO GO SOUTHBOUND, BUT THEY DO.
OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE PICTURES ON THE SECOND PAGE THAT SHOW A LINE OF TRACTOR TRAILERS GOING EACH DIRECTION.
IT'S ALL BOTH THE SAME DAY, BUT THEY'RE GOING EACH DIRECTION AND THEY'RE LINED UP.
UM, I GUESS THE EASY SOLUTION IS TO TAKE THAT SIGN DOWN AND, UM, THEN ALLOW TRACTOR TRAILERS TO GO SOUTHBOUND ON THAT, ON THAT ROAD.
UM, I DON'T THINK IT'S THE RIGHT DECISION BECAUSE IT'S THERE FOR A REASON.
IF I WERE TO GUESS THERE WAS ANOTHER, I WOULD GUESS THERE WAS ANOTHER SIGN ON NORTHBOUND SIDE THAT SAID, NO TRACTOR TRAILER IS ALLOWED ON THAT ROAD.
SO, UM, I I, I JUST ZONING, I THINK JUST NEEDS TO LOOK AT THIS AND, AND BE AWARE OF IT AND, AND WHAT THE HECK.
PAUL LAC, FOLLOWED BY KEN SHANNON.
NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
UH, PAUL FALLACE THREE 20 MARINA AVENUE IN, UH, PERRYMAN.
UM, I, I WANTED TO TALK, OH, I TALKED WITH, UH, JACOB BENNETT TODAY, AND HE, I WANTED TO ECHO HIS THANKS TO PAT ENTE AND THE COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR YOUR OPENNESS TO ASSIST HIM AND CONTINUE TO TALK WITH HIM AS HE WORKS THROUGH HIS LEGAL SITUATION.
AS A, UH, CONSTITUENT IN PERRYMAN, UM, HIS DISTRICT, UM, DURING THE STATE OF THE COUNTY, GLAD TO HEAR THAT PAT MENTIONED THE PLAN TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE CONNECTION OF WOODLEY ROAD AND ROUTE SEVEN 15 AND LOOK FORWARD TO, UH, FURTHER UPDATES AS THAT GOAL PROGRESSES THIS YEAR.
UM, WANTED TO INFORM AND REMIND THE COUNCIL IN LIGHT OF THE PENDING HEARING ABOUT LARGE BUILDINGS IN MARCH.
MR. LAC, WE'RE NOT GONNA GO THERE.
I WAS JUST GONNA, UM, 30% OF THE DRINKING WATER, I'M ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THE DRINKING WATER.
30% OF THE DRINKING WATER FROM HARFORD COUNTY COMES FROM THE AQUIFERS IN PERRYMAN.
THE LAST STUDY OF THE QUALITY OF THAT WATER AND THE LAST BUSH RIVER WATER CHARACTERIZATION STUDY ARE BOTH OVER 20 YEARS OLD, BOTH OVERDUE FOR UPDATE BEFORE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT IN PERRYMAN.
[01:25:01]
UH, I WAS IMPRESSED WITH, UH, TONY G YOU HAVE A FUTURE AS A AUCTIONEER.I THINK WHEN YOU WERE READING THROUGH THOSE, UM, I GOT A COUPLE OF NOTIONS OF YOU BEING AN AUCTIONEER AND, UH, MY OTHER IDEA OF, OF LISTENING TO THE, UH, PRESENTATION TONIGHT ON THE BUSES IS WE COULD USE ONE OF THOSE PARKED ON SPIA ROAD AND MAYBE ONE PARKED ON OLD PHILADELPHIA ROAD TO TAKE PICTURES AS, UH, ILLEGAL ACTIVITY PASSES ON THOSE TWO ROADS.
NAME AND ADDRESS, SIR AND SHANNON 2044 PARK BEACH DRIVE IN PERRYMAN.
TONIGHT, I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT JOBS, UM, IN ORDER TO NOT RUN A FILE, THE RULES ON WHAT COULD BE SAID WHILE LEGISLATION IS PENDING.
I'M GOING TO DO THIS IN THE FORM OF A FABLE.
THERE WERE THREE PRINCES IN A FAR AWAY KINGDOM.
THESE PRINCES WERE RICH, BUT THEY WANTED TO BE RICHER.
THEY HAD A PLAN THAT WOULD BRING THEM TREMENDOUS TREASURE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, IT WOULD DESTROY THE LAND.
IT WOULD COVER THE NATURAL GROUND WITH HARD SURFACES AND NOTHING, NOTHING WOULD EVER GROW THERE AGAIN.
BUT THEY KNEW IF THEY COULD CONVINCE EVERYONE THAT THEIR PLAN WOULD CREATE JOBS FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE, THEY MIGHT BE ALLOWED TO COVER THE FERTILE EARTH WITH HARD SURFACES, ALONG WITH THE JOBS WOULD COME, NOISE AND DIRTY AIR.
THE RICH PRINCES DID NOT WANT THIS NEAR THEIR CASTLES, SO THEY LOOKED FOR A DIFFERENT KINGDOM WHERE THEY COULD GO FORWARD WITH THEIR PLAN.
THEY KNEW A BARRON AND ANOTHER KINGDOM WHO WAS WILLING TO LET HIS LAND BE SPOILED IN ORDER TO MAKE MONEY.
THE RICH PRINCES KNEW THAT THE RICH LAND BARRON WOULD SUPPORT THEIR PLAN SINCE HE HAD DONE SO BEFORE.
AND THEY HAD ALREADY RUINED MUCH FERTILE LAND TOGETHER BEFORE THE RICH PRINCES COULD BEGIN THEIR PLAN.
THEY WERE REQUIRED BY THE LAWS OF THE KINGDOM TO ALERT THE COMMON PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGE NEAR THE RICH LAND BARRENS PROPERTY.
AT THE MEETING, HUNDREDS OF COMMON PEOPLE CAME TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR DISPLEASURE WITH THE PLAN.
THE COMMON PEOPLE ALSO APPEALED TO THEIR KING TO STOP THIS PLAN THAT WOULD MAKE THEIR LIFE IN THE VILLAGE LESS HAPPY AND MORE DIFFICULT.
BUT THE ARROGANT KING WOULD NOT LISTEN.
THE RICH PRINCES AND THE RICH LAND BARRON HAD GIVEN THE KING GIFTS, AND THE ARROGANT KING HAD NO CARE FOR THE VILLAGE, WHICH WAS THE POOREST IN ALL THE KINGDOM.
SO THE COMMON PEOPLE MET WITH THE WISE ADVISORS TO THE KING TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY DID NOT WANT THIS PLAN TO GO FORWARD IN THEIR VILLAGE.
AND EVERY WEEK THAT THE WISE ADVISORS MET, THE COMMON PEOPLE WENT TO THE MEETING AND SAID THEY DID NOT WANT THIS PLAN TO GO FORWARD.
THE COMMON PEOPLE NEVER ASKED FOR JOBS AT THE MEETINGS.
IN FACT, NO ONE EVER CAME TO THE MEETINGS OF THE WISE ADVISORS AND ASKED FOR JOBS.
RATHER, THEY ASKED THAT THE PLAN OF THE RICH PRINCES BE STOPPED AND THE LAND PROTECTED.
SO THE RICH PRINCES MOVED FORWARD WITH THEIR PLAN, BUT THE COMMON PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE CONTINUED TO OPPOSE IT.
AT THE SAME TIME, THE RICH PRINCES CHANGED THEIR PLAN SO THAT INSTEAD OF THE THOUSANDS OF JOBS THEY HAD CLAIMED FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE, THERE WOULD ONLY BE HUNDREDS OF JOBS.
THE JOBS WERE NOW ONLY ONE THIRD OF WHAT THE RICH PRINCES HAD ORIGINALLY SHOWN.
BUT THEY DID NOT STOP THEIR PLAN, AND THEY DID NOT TELL THE PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE OR THE WISE ADVISORS, PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE WORKED TO HELP DEPOSE THE ARROGANT KING AND HIS REGIME, AND TO SEE THAT A NEW KING WAS INSTALLED.
THERE IS HOPE NOW BY THE COMMON PEOPLE THAT THIS NEW KING WILL LOOK KINDLY UPON THE WISHES OF THE VILLAGE.
THIS STORY HAS NOT ENDED, BUT I AM NEAR THE END OF MY TIME BEING A FAVORABLE.
THERE IS A MORAL, IT'S A MORAL THAT WE ALL KNOW AND THAT WE HAVE ALL KNOWN SINCE WE WERE CHILDREN DUE UNTO, UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DUE UNTO, UNTO YOU.
THERE ARE NO MORE SPEAKERS, MR. PRESIDENT.
[16. BUSINESS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS]
WE'LL MOVE TO AGENDA NUMBER 16, BUSINESS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS.UM, MS. ADAMS, WE'LL START WITH YOU.
UM, ON THE TOPIC OF TERM LIMITS, LAST WEEK, THE KNOWLEDGE OF AND PLANNED ACTION TOWARD THE N R D BUMP UP CONCERNS WERE HIGHLIGHTED AS AN OWED TO THE SUPPOSED ADVANTAGES OF LIMITLESS TERMS ON THE COUNCIL.
I'D LIKE TO REITERATE FOR THE RECORD THAT THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE.
I, AS A BRAND NEW COUNCIL MEMBER, WAS THE FIRST TO MENTION THIS MATTER DURING LEGISLATIVE SESSION FEBRUARY 7TH, 2023.
COUNCILMAN GUTHRIE EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IN HIS REMARKS, WHICH FOLLOWED MINE STATING, I WANT TO COMMENT ON SOMETHING MS. BOYLES SAID, BECAUSE I AGREE WITH HER.
I'M GLAD SHE BROUGHT IT UP, AND MAYBE WE NEED TO TALK.
I DO LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH COUNCILMAN GUTHRIE AND OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR PARTNERSHIP, COUNCILMAN GUTHRIE.
UM, ADDITIONALLY, I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO ATTEND THE COMMUNITY INPUT MEETING TO DISCUSS THE REVISED CONCEPT PLAN FOR EVA MARR.
IT'S SCHEDULED FEBRUARY 27TH AT 6:00 PM AT ST.
[01:30:01]
MR. REILLY.FIRST, I WANNA THANK THE COUNCIL FOR APPROVING MY APPOINTMENT, LINDA NORMAN TO THE HARTFORD TV BOARD.
ALSO, UM, I LEARNED ABOUT BATS SEPTIC SYSTEMS, UH, THE LAST TWO WEEKS.
UH, THERE'S A $300 FEE A YEAR FOR INSPECTION.
THERE HAPPENED TO BE A THREE YEAR, UH, WINDOW FOR THOSE FROM 2013 TO 2016.
I HAD A FEW CONSTITUENTS CALL ME ABOUT THAT, AND WE FOUND OUT THAT IT'S REALLY, IT'S A STATE LAW, AND SO WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE STATE LEGISLATION.
I FORTUNATELY HAVE A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH A LOCAL STATE DELEGATE THAT SAYS SHE'LL BE PURSUING THAT LEGISLATION TO CANCEL THAT FEE OR THAT INSPECTION.
ALSO, I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF GOING TO, UH, UH, MASON DIXON BUSINESS ASSOCIATION LUNCHEON.
AND MATT JOHNSON FROM THE HARTFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL SPOKE AND HE'S THE COORDINATOR OF THE APPRENTICESHIP CTE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.
AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT, I WOULD CHECK OUT THE HARFORD COUNTY, UH, PUBLIC SCHOOL WEBSITE, EXCELLENT PROGRAM.
AND I, UH, HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYBODY THAT WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN IT.
UH, FIRST WANT TO THANK, UH, COUNTY AUDITOR CRYSTAL BROOKS FOR CORRECTING ME ON MY STATEMENT LAST WEEK REGARDING THE AUDITING OF THE SCHOOL BUDGET.
I WAS, UH, GROSS, GROSSLY WRONG, AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE.
AND I'D LIKE TO THANK THE, UH, HCPS EMPLOYEE UNION FOR THEIR STATEMENT AS WELL.
UM, I HAVE THE, UH, HONOR WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER, UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER GUTHRIE PENMAN AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT VINCENTI FOR THE, UH, ARC.

UM, SO CONGRATULATIONS TO SEAN, SEAN CROSS AND OUR STAFF.
AND THEN ALSO I WANT TO CONGRATULATE, UH, THE COPPER MINE.
UM, THEY SIGNED A LETTER OF INTENT TO TAKE OVER THE BELLAIRE ATHLETIC CLUB.
THEY'RE GONNA, UH, PUMP IN ABOUT 4 MILLION TO THE CLUB, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GONNA BE, UH, HOPEFULLY UP AND RUNNING IN ABOUT 90 DAYS.
UH, I HAVE A FEW THINGS I'D LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS EVENING ON THE LEGISLATION.
DAY 2227, I DISCUSSED A CONSTITUENT ISSUE WITH DUMP TRUCKS ON OLD MOUNTAIN ROAD CENTRAL.
I INITIALLY SPOKE WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND MOST RECENTLY I SPOKE WITH THE LEADERSHIP OVER AT ALAN MYERS CONSTRUCTION.
UH, COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED WITH ALAN MYERS AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO REDUCE THE DUMP TRUCK TRAFFIC ON THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF OLD MOUNTAIN ROAD CENTRAL.
UH, ALAN MYERS HAS AGREED TO POSE SIGNAGE AT THE ROCK CRUSHER EXIT TO DIRECT TRAFFIC AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AND TOWARDS THE NORTH ENTRANCE OF THE OLD MOUNTAIN ROAD CENTRAL.
UH, THE DISTRICT B OFFICE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS ISSUE REGARDING THE UPCOMING CHICKEN LEGISLATION.
UH, PRELIMINARY DRAFT OF LEGISLATION WAS SENT OVER TO THE DIRECTORS OF PLANNING AND ZONING AND LICENSING A PERMIT TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT ON THEIR RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS ON THE LEGISLATION, UM, BOARD TO COME SOON ON THAT.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MAKE A QUICK STATEMENT ON THE AGRICULTURAL PRESERVATION PROCESS.
AS YOU KNOW, WE HAD SEVERAL RESOLUTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING.
I BEGAN RESEARCHING EACH OF THE REQUESTS AND WANT TO THANK BILL AMOS FROM THE AGRICULTURAL LAND PRESERVATION OFFICE FOR HIS AVAILABILITY TO ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS.
MR. AMOS IS A FANTASTIC RESOURCE AND AN ASSET TO THE COUNTY.
UM, AS I HAVE MAINTAINED DURING MY SHORT POLITICAL CAREER, I SUPPORT, UH, A CAREFUL BALANCE OF GREEN SPACE OR LAND PRESERVATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
ONE OF THE UNIQUE ASPECTS ABOUT THIS PROGRAM IS THAT EACH PROPERTY OWNER DECIDES TO ENTER INTO AG PRESERVATION AND THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE HONORED.
I ONLY WISH THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS WERE EQUALLY RESPECTED FOR EACH ZONING CLASSIFICATION CODE ACROSS OUR COUNTY.
AND WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MR. PRESIDENT.
THANK YOU, MR. PENMAN AND MR. GUTHRIE.
UH, THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT AND DENNIS BULL.
I AGREE WITH YOU EVERY, EVERYTHING, UH, CONCUR WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID, AND I'D BE GOOD GLAD TO WORK WITH YOU AND A COUPLE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS TO FIX THIS N R D BECAUSE IT, IT'S A MESS.
IT'S NOT FA IT'S NOT FAVORABLE TO THE CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTY.
NOT TO BE CAREFUL CAUSE I CAN'T SPEAK TOO MUCH ON IT.
UM, ALSO, UH, UH, COPPER MINE IS BACK AT IT.
AND WE'RE REALLY HAPPY WITH COPPER MINE IN THE COUNTY.
THEY'RE REALLY DOING A LOT OF GREAT THINGS, UH, IN, IN EDGEWOOD THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING THOSE, UH, UH, UH, EIGHT, UH, FIELDS OVER THERE.
