Cheverly Planning Board Meeting Minutes
March 2, 2021
PB Attendees: Barbara Brown, Jeremy Coon, Megan Kiel, Margaret MacDonnell, Fred Price, Joyce Tsepas; Kobie Pruitt as potential member
- Minutes from February meeting approved.
- Ernest Williams, Prince George’s County liaison to Hospital Site Redevelopment, provided an overview of the status of the Hospital Site Redevelopment.
- The anticipated timeframe is for an RFP in late Spring to select master developer. A concept plan will be provided in the RFP. The entitlement process will follow in 2022, with an anticipated groundbreaking in 2 years.
- The connections being proposed are to benefit the town of Cheverly, though the County understands that it is important to explain feasibility considerations as well as pros/cons and demonstrate best practices in street design.
- A shuttle could be explored but it will depend on connectivity and ridership.
- The type of amenities will depend on the density of development, and different density scenarios are being explored.
- This is the beginning of the process and RDA will be engaging the community throughout.
- Joyce volunteered to develop a Greater Cheverly Sector Plan implementation tracking sheet for the PB. The PB is interested in forming a focus group around trail planning to help implement recommendations in the Greater Cheverly Sector Plan. Margaret has received interest from members of the community.
- A snapshot of potential annexation zones and considerations will be discussed at April’s PB meeting.
- Joyce will coordinate with the Green Infrastructure committee and share a recommendation for parks and the “Reserved Open Space (ROS)” zoning designation with the M&C for the revised zoning amendment process (completed on March 15th).
- Maglev DEIS comments are due on April 22nd (note that they were extended to May 24th).
- PB roles: We need a volunteer for secretary.
