Be there or be square! The next PHED Session will focus on Land Use Issues. That means density. The staff report is broken out in sections according to development properties. From what I can read there is no attention to existing surrounding neighborhoods that will be heavily impacted by these discussions and decisions.
The staff report was prepared by Marlene Michaelson, Senior Legislative Analyst, and is available online, here. This session will be televised. Please send letters to the council and comment on this staff report. I was surprised to see that after two years of working on this plan and dozens of hours of meetings, testimony, and letters from residential property owners, the only 'testimony' addressed in the staff report was from the developers, with one exception, Natalie Goldberg, a property owner in the White Flint Garrett Park Estates neighborhood.
Is this really how the Montgomery County, Maryland government works? Your choice, these are the people you voted for. If you are a residential property owner with concerns, write and email the council; call them at 240-777-7900.
