Verbatim Transcript

Carl Sadler presented the plan:

I’m Carl Sadler. I’m the owner. It’s just a garage for my excavating business. I have been in business since 1968. The building was built around 2000 and we almost had it completed the last time but a bad snow storm collapsed the roof in. Then the permit ran out so that is why I had to come back through the DAC meeting again. So, all the septic is done and everything is done except for the roof on the building.

Bill Snyder – Volunteer Fire & EMS

Carl Sadler – Ok, no problem.

Robin Wales – Department of Emergency Services

I spoke to Mr. Sadler and went to the site and visited with him.

The addresses of panhandle lots shall be displayed at the entrance within 10’ of the public roadway, at least 3 feet high, & at each driveway to indicate the proper lane of access for each property.

If the business is not operational 24 hours a day, Department of Emergency Services must have a list of 3 (three) emergency contacts for notification and response purposes.

Patrick Jones – Soil Conservation District

Sir, you don’t have any intention of doing any more grading or anything.

Carl Sadler – No

Patrick Jones – Then, I have no comment.

John Resline – Health Department

This plan proposes construction services/supply and commercial vehicle and equipment storage on 60.52 acres. The proposed structure will be serviced by a well and an on-site disposal system (OSDS). Soil percolation testing was conducted on October 1, 2002.

At this time the plan as submitted cannot be approved. In order for the HCHD to continue its review, the below information must be submitted:

1. All OSDS must be located on the plan and indicate which structures they service.

2. All existing wells to remain in service must have the type of well construction indicated and what structure they service. Well construction labels may include such descriptions as a drilled well, pit drilled well, buried well, or hand dug well. If the well is drilled, the consultant and/or developer needs to indicate if a well tag is present and, if present, the tag number must be provided on a plan to this office. Once the type of well construction is determined for the existing wells, this office will determine what wells can remain in use or must be replaced by a new well. Any existing well to be removed from service must be properly abandoned.

3. Please indicate the nature of the business and the proposed uses of the property. Business hours of operation, number of employees, and if the general public will have access to the water supply either for consumption or hand washing.

4. Please indicate if there will be a restroom facility for public use.

5. Please indicate the purpose of the tanks located behind the existing block building.

6. Please indicate if any bulk fuel product or waste oil will be stored on the commercial area of the property.

Upon receipt of the above information, this office will update our comments.

Mike Rist – DPW Engineering

1. Sediment control and stormwater management must be addressed if land disturbing activities exceed 5,000 square feet.

Rich Zeller – State Highway Administration

The MDOT SHA has no objection to Site Plan approval as the existing access on MD 23 is adequate to serve this use. No entrance or road improvements will be required at this time.

Jenni Daniels – Planner

1. The property is zoned AG (Agricultural) and totals 60.52 +/- acres. This plan proposes to utilize an existing site for storage of commercial equipment and to operate a construction services and supplies business.

Number 5811.

4. No exterior lighting has been proposed or shown on the site plan.

5. All proposed signage shall conform to the Sign Code and will require permits from the Department of Planning and Zoning.

6. The Board of Appeals Case Number and approval date given under the notes section of the Site Plan are incorrect.
