Staff opened the meeting by presenting eight items on the consent agenda, ranging from minor site-plan changes to final-plat revisions and a temporary holiday event.

The first consent item was a minor site-plan alteration at Jonathans Grill (Marylands Commons) to add a concrete patio seating area and a small pervious-turf play area on the side of the building. Presenter (Speaker 2, Staff member) said the turf is pervious to avoid muddiness in rainy conditions. A board member (Speaker 3) asked whether the string lights would be turned off when the business closed; staff answered yes.

Final plats were presented for Parkside at Brant Haven, Phase 2 Section 2 (19 lots) and Section 3 (20 lots); staff said the preliminary plans for these sections were previously approved in January 2024. The filings include a perpetual scenic easement within open-space parcels (labeled 2d, 2e and part of 2b). Staff and engineering clarified that none of the lots are in the floodplain and that some lots show a lowest-floor elevation (LFE) based on an engineers hydraulic study used to set an LFE above the predicted 1% (100-year) storm level.

At 1569 Mallory Lane a previously approved lot split created Lots 203 and 205; Blue Pearl Pet Hospital sits on Lot 205. The applicant proposes a dumpster enclosure that would remove three parking spaces. Staff said the parcel would remain above the minimum required parking after the change and that the enclosures materials and height will match an existing generator.

A minor site-plan alteration for a monument sign at the Tiburon subdivision (9809 Sam Donald Road) was presented with a landscaping plan. Staff said the sign meets sight-triangle, height and square-footage limits and that engineering has approved required sight distances. Colored elevations show brass lanterns and a planting plan.

Staff presented a repeat limited-duration event, Santas Trees, at the Hill Centers US Bank site, with a tent and one storage shipping container; the event dates were listed as Nov. 5 through Dec. 30.

A revised final plat for Envirotest Systems (the athletic gym site) proposes reducing an ingress/egress easement from 50 feet to 34 feet to allow additional parking shown on a pending site plan. Staff said the applicant researched the easement, cleared the change with a neighboring property owner and included owner signatures on the final plat. The transcript did not specify the exact number of added parking spaces; staff estimated roughly five or six but did not provide a definitive count in the record.

A revised final plat for Meadowlake (Lot 149, 5215 Meadowlake Road) would abandon part of an existing 20-foot drainage easement and create a new easement that follows the actual drainage channel. Staff requested removal of an accessory storage shed to conform with zoning limits that allow one accessory structure per lot. A hydraulic study was provided to set building setback lines relative to the theoretical 100-year event; staff said the change aligns recorded easement lines with existing conditions and that adjoining properties are developed.

Members asked procedural questions about vesting and expirations: staff explained vesting for final plats typically takes effect upon recording and is commonly a three-year vesting period from the date of approval. The consent-agenda presentations in the transcript did not show a recorded vote or final action; the items were presented for the bodys consideration.
