1 southbound radar data was collected on March 15, 2006 at the intersection of Bennett Point and Greenwood Creek Road.

Results of the radar tests indicated an average southbound speed of 43.1 mph and northbound speed of 85th 44.3 mph. The percentile speed was 50 mph, which indicates that 85% of the motorists travel this portion of Bennett Point Road at or below 50 mph and 15% drive in excess of 50 mph.

Based solely on the 85 percentile findings the speed limit of Bennett Point Road known as section “C” may be increased up to but not exceed 50 mph, therefore 40 mph and 45 mph are acceptable posting alternatives.

In discussions with SHA regarding the 2006 findings, SHA recommended any increase in speed limit should also include new signage alerting motorists to school bus stops.

The SHA findings were presented to the Commissioners on March 23, 2006. At that time no action was taken to revise the speed limit on this portion of Bennett Point Road.

27th A new 85th percentile speed limit study was completed on February and 28” of 2018 at the same location of 2006 SHA study. Results of the radar tests indicated an average southbound speed of 44.9 85th mph and northbound speed of 47.4 mph. The percentile speed was 50 mph, which indicates that 85% of the motorists travel this portion of Bennett Point Road at or below 50 mph and 15% drive in excess of 50 mph. These results are consistent with the 2006 percentile study.

The 2018 85th percentile findings were presented to the Commissioners on March 13, 2018. At that time no action was taken to revise the speed limit on this portion of Bennett Point Road.

We have reached out to the Board of Education and for the 2019-2020 school year there are 11 elementary, 6 middle school and 14 high school eligible school bus stops on Bennett Point Road. In addition, attached for your review is the Office of the SherifVs Law Enforcement and Statistical Overview for Bennett Point Road for the period of January 2016 — January 2019 which includes accident and exceeding the posted speed limit data.

Both the 2006 and 2018 radar studies indicated that motorists travel this section of Bennett Point Road at 85th an approximate average speed of 45 mph with an percentile speed of 50 mph. Based solely on the percentile findings the speed limit of Bennett Point Road known as section “C” may be increased up to but not exceed 50 mph, therefore 40 mph and 45 mph are acceptable posting alternatives.

Dear Mr. dough,

Thank you for conveying the Town’s Annexation Plan and Notice of Public Hearing. The County understands that the petition for annexation includes four (4) County parcels totaling approximately 83 acres located on the east side of MD Route 313 and adjacent to the Town of Barclay. The land which is the subject of the proposal is zoned Agricultural, and the County recognizes that the Town wishes to annex and reclassify three (3) parcels as Industrial and one (1) parcel as Residential. To that end, the County is also in receipt of the Town’s request for approval of that change in the form of a waiver of the 5-year hold on that zoning classification.

This item was discussed at the 13 August 2019 Commissioner’s meeting and has been conveyed to the Planning Commission for review and findings of Comprehesnive Plan and zoning consisentency at its 12 September 2019 meeting. This means that the earliest date that the Commissioners may act on this item will be at the 24 September 2019 County Commissioner’s meeting.

Unfortunatley, th County review process noted above will not allow the County to offer comment prior to the Town’s 21 August 2019 public hearing. We ask that you consider this correspondnce as acknowledgment of the Town’s proposal and as commitment on the part of the County to offer comment within the timeframe outlined above

Please do not hesitate to contact Principal Planner Amy Moredock at 410.758.1255 should you have any questions about this correspondence.

Workgroup Charge and Timeline The QAC \Vorkgroup will be charged with the completion of the tasks outlined in the University of Maryland’s guidance document as follows (staff has attached a Roster and Charge document to accompany the appointment letters): • Understanding County Assets. An inventory that characterizes the county’s social and built environment characteristics will be completed. The results will show what defines the county as being unique, both positively and negatively. The assets will be categorized and prioritized. Timeine: August 2019 — September 2019 • Determining Goals and Objectives. Once the social, and built environment characteristics are identified, many of the goals and objectives will start to emerge and allow the workgroup to finalize priorities and timelines for short-, medium-, and long-term solutions. This will also include the framework for financing that will become more robust in future phases. Timeline: September 2019 — October 2019 • Developing the Elements of a Plan. The counties will prioritize individual and collective climate actions. Timeline: October 2019-December 2019 • Gaining Feedback, Review and Approval. Once the Resilience Plans are drafted, they will be shared with stakeholders across all of the counties and include engaging state and federal partners. There will be a summary of collaborative opportunities identified where the counties can promote cooperation and collaboration as they pursue joint funding and financing. Timeline: December 2019 - January 2020. • Future Step: Resilience Financing. After the Plan has been vetted by county stakeholders and finalized, the financing information obtained from steps listed above will be used to develop the framework for a financing strategy for each countx- along with opportunities identified and developed for all participating counties. The second phase beginning in early 2020 will primarily focus on financing and will result in a clear understanding of each county’s financial capacity of needs relating to their implementation strategy. It will also include sharing lessons learned from the process with other counties in Maryland, as well as other states in the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. Timeline: January 2020-December 2020.

MOTION: I move to approve the list of suggested workgroup participants and send appointment letters to each member and to approve the workgroup charge and project timeline.

To Whom it May Concern,

Queen Anne’s County is pleased to announce its participation in the University of Maryland’s Resiliency Planning and Financing project for Global Sustainability. This initiative is directly connected with the MD Climate Leadership Academy. Each participating county is charged with forming a local Workgroup. The intention is to bring county staff and community leaders together to prioritize local goals and objectives and to produce Resilience Plans. The Plans will become a combined Resiliency Planning Resource and will place Maryland at the forefront of climate adaptation planning. A key component of this effort is to identify means of financing resiliency efforts.

QLleenAnne’s County is lucky to have staff and residents who are already leading the charge to address climate change and resiliency planning head on. The County has enacted a dynamic Hazard Mitigation Plan, as well as a Sea Level Rise and Coastal Vulnerability Assessment and Implementation Plan. On the horizon, the County will be reviewing its Comprehensive Plan which will fold many of these resiliency efforts into this update.

Because of your leadership role and expertise in resiliency planning efforts, the County would like to invite you to join the Queen Anne’s County Workgroup. Your input is essential in ensuring the County’s success to fulfill this project Charge by pulling a diverse panel of experts together to best-inform this essential next phase of our resiliency planning efforts: financing them.

The Workgroup roster and charge is included for your information. It would be greatly appreciated if you will contact Principal Planner Amy Moredock at 410.758.1255 as soon as possible to confirm your willingness to participate on the QAC Workgroup. The Workgroup’s kick off meeting which will be held on Thursday, 22 August 2019 at 9 am in the Conference Room located at 110 Vincit Street.

We thank you for your commitment to resiliency planning efforts in the County and in the State. Your dedication to this effort and its postive outcome would be greatly appreciated.

23 1. The project is proposing to create up to fifteen (15) new full-time jobs within 36 months of completion of the project, exceeding the minimum of twelve (12). 2. The project has an estimated cost of $3 million, which exceeds the minimum increase required by the Ordinance of $25,000. The current base value of the property according to SDAT records is $966,900. The overall estimated assessed value is $4 million.

This property is not within the designated Queen Anne’s County Enterprise Zone and therefore not eligible for the commercial real property tax credit under that program. Should the tax credit be approved, the Department will monitor the project for compliance with job creation requirements through annual employment reports.

SUGGESTED MOTION:

I motion to approve the request for a Commercial Real Property Tax Credit for the project known as Dogwood Acres Pet Retreat on property owned by Reichardt Kent Island, LLC, at 1220 Sonny Schultz Boulevard, Stevensville, MD with the condition that the project results in the creation of at least 12 new full-time positions within 36 months of completion.

30 • Keeping Office current will take the burden off of ITstaff to regularly update this application.

County ITstaff put out a Request for Quote to get the best price and received 23 responses. They ranged in price from $104,328 annually to $75,840. The least expensive quote was from ‘inova Consulting Group out of Kansas for $75,840. We will be working with a local vendor for implementation.

Funds for this project are available in the County ITInfrastructure capital project. If approved, this licensing will be added in as an FY21 operating expense.

MOTION:

I move that we approve the recommendation of County ITStaff to move to email in the cloud and a subscription based model for Microsoft Office using funds from the County IT Infrastructure project for FY20then Operating funds for FY21 onward. co a

Mr. James Moran IN REPLY REFER TO CASE NO.: 19-03-1103A President, County Commissioners Community: Queen Anne’s County, Maryland Queen Anne’s County (Unincorporated Areas) 107North Liberty Street Community No.: 240054 Centreville, MD 21617 Map Panel Affected: 24035C0320D Map Effective Date: November 5, 2014

219-70-I CO*iISS]DNER’SdOri1 OFFI Dear Mr. Moran:

This responds to a request dated May 3,2019, that the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) determine whether the structure located on the property described below is within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), an area subject to inundation by the base (1-percent-annual-chance) flood.

4 Property Description: Lot 5, Marling Farms, Section 10, as described in the Deed recorded as Document No. 245070, in Liber 0684, Folios 272, 273, and 274, in the Office of the Clerk of Circuit Court, Queen Anne’s County, Maryland

Street Address: 1900 Bayside Drive (Detached Garage)

Flooding Source Crab Alley Bay and Eastern Bay

FEMA issues Letters of Map Amendment (LOMAs) upon determining that properties on natural ground are no longer within an SFHA. The procedures that result in the issuance of LOMAs are provided in Part 70 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations (copy enclosed).

A review of the technical data submitted with this request indicates that the existing structure on the property referenced above was constructed with its lowest floor (including enclosure) below the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) without sufficient flood openings. This is a potential violation of Subparagraph 60.3(c)(5) of the NFIP regulations, which states that fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access, or storage in an area other than a basement shall be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the entry and exit of floodwaters. A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area are required. In addition, the bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade and openings must permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters.

1 2

We have notified our Regional Office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of this situation. Your community should contact Ms. Sarah Wolfe of the FEMA Region III Office, by telephone at (215) 931-5532 for guidance on the specific actions required to resolve this issue.

It should be noted that the lowest adjacent grade (LAG) elevation for the structure is below the BFE. For FEMA to remove the SFHA designation from a structure, NFIP regulations require the LAG elevation to be at or above the BFE.

We will not continue processing this request until the issue is resolved with our Regional Office. This determination is based on the flood data presently available.

Sincerely,

Patrick “Rick” F. Sacbibit, P.E., Branch Chief Engineering Services Branch Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration

MDTA BOARD APPROVES PUBLIC HEARINGS, COMMENT PERIOD FOR NEW TOLL PAYMENT OPTIONS Lower Toll Rates, New Discount and New Payment Option Part of Third Package of Toll Relief Under Hogan Administration

BALTIMORE, MD — With a toll modernization system coming online next year, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Board today voted to seek public comment and hold hearings on a package of toll payment options that would provide cost savings for customers. Last week, Governor Larry Hogan outlined how this toll relief package would save Marylanders more than $28 million over five years.

“We’re making this technology work for Marylanders, saving our families money and time and providing the best possible servicc to our customers,” said MDTA Chairman and Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) Secretary Pete K. Rahn.

The public comment period begins Aug. 1 for the new tolling options proposed during the MDTA Board’s monthly meeting. These proposals include:

• Pay By Plate. This new payment method allows tolls to be automatically hilled to credit cards at the same rate that cash customers pay today. For the all-electronic Intercounty Connector/MD 200 and I- 95 Express Toll Lanes, customers who use this method will pay 20 percent less than the Video Toll rate. Pay By Plate benefits infrequent toll customers as well as those who do not want to maintain a prepaid E-ZPass balance. This option would be available by June 2020.

• New vehicle classes with lower rates. Toll rates would be reduced 50 percent for motorcycles, and would be cut 25 and 17 percent, respectively, for “light” vehicles towing one- and two-axle trailers, such as those used for watercraft or landscaping equipment. These new categories would take effect by September 2020.

• Discount for Early Payment of Video Tolls. A 15percentdiscountfor VideoTollingcustomerswhopay the toll beforetheir invoicesare mailedwould take effectby December 2020.SinceMDTA won’t have to send out a bill,the agency canpass these savings on to the customer.

“in addition to lower toll rates, a new discount and an entirely new way to pay. these options address a concern we’ve heard from our customers for years being able to set rates that better reflect the size of vehicles and their wear-and-tear on our roads,” said MDTA Executive Director James F. Ports, Jr.

Beginning Aug. 1, customers can visit mdta.maryland.gov to submit comments online regarding the new toll payment proposals, or can download a comment card to be mailed. In September, a series of nine public hearings will take place in Harford, Cecil, Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Queen Anne’s, Prince George’s, Charles and Montgomery counties and in Baltimore City. Dates, times and locations will be advertised online and in local media.

The public comment period will close at 5 p.m. Oct. 3. A Toll Hearing Final Report will be submitted Oct. 31 for review by the MDTA Board and will be posted at mdta.maryland.gov for additional public comment. The Board is scheduled to vote on a final recommendation at its Nov. 21 meeting.

The new package of $28 million in savings would be the third round of toll relief during the Hogan Administration, resulting in total savings to customers of up to $344 million. Previous measures included a 2015 toll rollback to save Marylanders $270 million by 2020, and a 2018 initiative for free E-ZPass transponders designed to save drivers S46 million over five years.

all 18 10. Instead, on or about several days after the sewage back-up and after mold and mildew began to set into the walls, framing, materials and furniture of plaintiffs, the County merely handed out a ridiculous notice entitled “Sewer Backup Information” (“Notice”), apparently to more than one property owner as it was addressed generically, admitting “the recent sewer backup that has affected your property”, and to consult the “yellow pages” (which no longer exist in any widely distributed print) to

“immediately arrange for the cleanup of your property”. (Exhibit A, attached hereto).

11. The County Notice admitted the plaintiffs “inconvenience and damage” caused by the

County sewer backup.

12. Written notice of claims pursuant to the Local Government Tort Claims Act, Cts. & Jud.

Proc. § 5-304 has been provided to the Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County (Exhibit B, attached hereto).

13. In good faith the Plaintiffs have extended requests to resolve the matter with the County

Defendant in care of is agent at Local Government Insurance Trust, yet they have been rebuffed by

Defendants and told that causation is disputed.

14. The County Defendants have failed and refused to enforce standards and ordinances regarding the proper maintenance and control of its sewage system infrastructure, and this failure is a continuing nuisance causing damages to Plaintiffs’ and their property.

COUNT I

Negligence

15. Plaintiffs incorporate the allegations in paragraphs 1-14 as if fully set forth herein.

16. On or about April 14, 2019 the County Sewage system overflowed into the home of plaintiffs at 812 Kimberly Way, Stevensville, MD 21666 causing significant property damage and emotional distress.

17. The County had a duty to ensure that the sewer lines and system were maintained and

19 sufficiently working to handle the wastewater effluent such that it would not back up into the home of plaintiffs.

18. Furthermore, the County had a duty to ensure that any blockages of said sewer lines were quickly and permanently removed and that the sewer lines and pumps were maintained and repaired in such a mamier as to ensure the residents such as Plaintiffs did not have a continuous danger of the possibility of additional sewer back-ups into their home.

19. Additionally, the County knew or should have known that prompt and immediate cleanup should have been ordered by the County for cleaning plaintiffs’ home.

20. In all of these aforesaid duties, the County breached its obligations to Plaintiffs and caused them significant harm and damage in their persons, and real and personal property.

21. Particularly, the County’s raw sewage and raw sewer water filled with potentially deadly bacteria, harmful substances and diseases, backed-up into the first-floor of their home and flooded the entire floor, causing great damage and harm to their persons, real and personal property.

22. But for the negligence of the County in failing its aforementioned duties to Plaintiffs being the proximate cause of the sewer lines backing up raw sewage into their home, no sewage would have flooded Plaintiffs’ home nor caused them any harm.

23. Plaintiffs have directly suffered harm and significant damage because of the County’s breach of its aforesaid duties owed them.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request this honorable Court find for Plaintiffs and against Defendant County, and award:

A. Compensatory (including Consequential) Damages of $400,000;

B. Pain and Suffering Damages of $300,000 for each plaintiff;

C. Attorney’s Fees and costs; and

D. Such other relief as the court may deem proper and just.

20 COUNT II

Nuisance

24. Plaintiffs incorporate the facts and allegations in all preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.

25. Defendant County caused a nuisance to occur over and against the real and personal property of Plaintiffs home known as 8:12Kimberly Way, Stevensville, MD.

26. Specifically, Defendant County committed and omitted acts and activities which caused the County sewer lines to clog, back-up and result in spillage into and upon Plaintiffs’ real and personal property, causing great damage and nuisance to their enjoyment of said property, the value of the same and their peace of mind.

27. Specifically, on information and belief, the County caused a nuisance by approving of new sewer hook-ups without adequate repairs, maintenance and upgrades to the existing sewer lines, or ensuring the sewer system being in working order and to prevent a blockage of its sewer lines, causing raw sewage, gasses, fumes and noxious waste and bacteria to flood the Plaintiffs’ home.

28. Defendant County has not abated said nuisance even though known to it, including but not limited to installing adequate public sewer lines and facilities such as new lines, new vacuum pumps, back-up alarms and effluent back-flow preventers, such that the spillage and back-up is likely to continue in the future.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request this honorable Court find for Plaintiffs and against the County of Queen Anne’s and its Board of Commissioners, in their professional capacity, jointly and severally, and award:

A. Compensatory (including Consequential) Damages of $400,000;

B. Pain and Suffering Damages of $300,000 for each plaintiff;

C. Attorney’s Fees and costs; and

D. Such other relief as the court may deem proper and just.

21 COUNT III

Trespass

39. Plaintiffs incorporate the facts and allegations in all preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.

40. Defendant County caused unlawful and uninvited entry upon the lands of Plaintiffs, namely, 812 Kimberly Way, Stevensville, MD, which entries were a trespass.

41. Namely, Defendant County caused raw sewage to enter upon Plaintiffs lands, made further unauthorized and inadequate sewer line construction changes up to the house leaving piping exposed, and caused great damage thereupon.

42. Said entry of Plaintiffs lands was in no way authorized, permitted, licensed or invited, and as such Defendant committed a trespass, causing Plaintiffs great damages and loss of real and personal property.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request this honorable Court find for Plaintiffs and against the Defendants, jointly and severally, and award:

A. Compensatory (including Consequential) Damages of $400,000;

B. Pain and Suffering Damages of $300,000 for each plaintiff;

C. Attorney’s Fees and costs; and

D. Such other relief as the court may deem proper and just.

COUNT IV

Inverse Condemnation

- Md. Constitution, Deci. Of Rights, Arts. § 5, 19, 24 - (Equal Protection, Due Process, Relief for Injury to Person and Property)

22 ______[k]

48. Plaintiffs incorporate the facts and allegations in all preceding paragraphs as if fully set

forth herein.

49. Defendant County has taken actions and failed to take actions which have deprived

Plaintiffs of their private property rights in violation of the Declaration of Rights, Maryland

Constitution, articles 5, 19, and 24.

50. The actions and failure to act in a reasonable manner has caused severe and painful damage to Plaintiffs and has resulted in the unconstitutional taking of their private real property.

51. Such acts and failures to act by Defendants, has been in contravention to Plaintiffs natural and constitutional rights of equal protection, due process and the ownership of private property.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request this honorable Court find for Plaintiffs and

against the Defendants, jointly and severally, and award:

A. Compensatory (including Consequential) Damages of $400,000;

B. Pain and Suffering Damages of $300,000 for each plaintiff;

C. Attorney’s Fees and costs; and

D. Such other relief as the court may deem proper and just.

PRESENT: Mike Sipes, James (Zeke) Warner, Scott (Rocky) Jones, John Nickerson, Robby Pardoe, Dorsey Patchett

ABSENT: Mike Bozek, Tim Wilson

GUEST: Tom Harlan, Vivian Swinson, Jeff Morgan, Todd Mohn

The meeting was called to order at 9:10 a.m.

A motion was made by Zeke Warner to approve the May minutes as sent; this was secondedby Robby Pardoe and approved by all. SANITARY DISTRICT: Did not attend.

TOM HARLAN: Z-17-0396 for a lawn irrigation system. Mr. Harlan was notified thathis Zoning Certificate had not been issued due to the fact that a plumber had not applied for a permit to install a backflow device. Mr. Harlan came in to tell the Board why he felt his system wasnot a true “lawn irrigation” system therefore it should not need a backflow device. After Mr. Harlan described and presented pictures to the Board of his system, it was determined that his system did have potential for backflow/backsiponage. Because this system could contaminate his wellit was determined that it does need backflow/backsiponage protection. Mr. Harlan said as that would cost upward to a $1,000, he would disconnect his system.

FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS: Worcester County is looking for support from the Eastern Shore Counties, in hopes of having the requirement for sprinkler systems in single family homes be changed back to being optional. Todd Mohn, County Administrator, Jeff Morgan, Fire Marshall, Vivian Swinson, Zoning Administrator were all in attendance; Mike Bozek joined in by phone as he is out of town. Mr. Mohn stated Queen Anne’s County had been contacted by Worcester County, but because it is early on, he does not know what the Commissioner stance will be. Therefollowed much discussion on the pros and cons of sprinkler systems. It was decided the Plumbing Board should discuss the issue and put in writing to the Commissioners their opinion on the matter.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT: Team Septic is still pushing for a Statewide Septic Installers license, with requirements for apprentice, journeyman and master. Environmental Health Directors are not in support of this license.

CLERK: Had asked about sending out backflow test notice reminders, Todd Mohn saidto move forward with the mailing.

Being no further business the meeting adjourned at 10:20 a.m.

***Attention:*** This email originated from an external source. DO NOTCLICKany links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

MAMSAMembers:

At the recent MAMSAMember Meeting, it was discussed that a ruling from the Maryland Court of Appeals was iminent on the pending MS4 permit appeals and that a notice would be issued when the decision came down. Yesterday afternoon the Court ruled by a narrow majority (4—3) to uphold the MS4 permits as issued by MDE.

The opinion is provided at the link below and it consists of two main parts. The first part, the majority opinion, was authored by Judge McDonald and joined by Chief Judge Barbera and retired/recalled Judges Greene and Adkins. While acknowledging that the counties “raise serious issues” the 4-member majority nevertheless gives tremendous deference to MDEin general and EPA’sChesapeake Bay TMDLin particular. The majority sided with MDEon all issues.

The second part consists of a dissenting opinions. In the main dissent, three judges, one short of the critical 4 votes needed to fix the problems in the permits, adopted the permittees’ positions on the central legal issues. Most notably, they agreed that the Clean Water Act’s “maximum extent practicable” standard is the controlling legal standard for setting the level of effort required by localities. In the words of the 3 dissenting judges, MDEdoes not have the “freewheeling authority to impose on the Counties whatever requirements that it deems ‘appropriate’ no matter how onerous or costly.” (Judge Watts’ Dissenting Opinion at p. 3, in which Judge Hotten and Judge Getty joined). But this view did not prevail.

Interestingly, looking back at their own 2016 ruling in the Anacostia Riverkeeper case on MS4 permits, the judges could not even agree on the meaning of their prior ruling. Four judges said Anacostia Riverkeeper decision supports MDE,and the other 3 said the exact opposite — that it supports the Counties.

The only point on which the 7 judges agree is on the side issue of water quality trading, which has since turned out in the favor of MS4s anyway, through MDE’ssubsequent decisions to issue trading regulations and permit modifications along the lines of the what the permittees had requested in the 2014 permit reissuances.

1 34 The decision is available at: https://mdcourts.gov/data/opinions/coa/2019/5a18.pdf The controlling majority opinion is at the front. You can read the dissents that are extremely critical of majority view beginning at about page 100 or so of the PDFfile. his development will be thoroughly covered at the next MAMSA Member Meeting.
