The Maryland Office of Planning was requested to help the Planning Commission and Town Council update its 1975 Plan due to growth-related issues and problems facing the Town in the near future. The 1996-97 Update of the Boonsboro Comprehensive Plan was mandated via the Maryland Economic Growth, Resource Protection and Planning Act of 1992 henceforth referred to as the 'Planning Act of 1992'. The Town of Boonsboro receives its authority and guidance for planning and zoning from the State of Maryland through enabling legislation know as Article 66B. Article 66B specifies areas that a comprehensive plan should address to provide for orderly and economical growth of a community. The Planning Act of 1992 added several new requirements for local government comprehensive plans. The new requirements of Article 66B are as follows: Section 3.05(a)(1)(iii) The transportation plan element shall also provide for bicycle and pedestrian access and travelways. An estimate of the probable utilization of any proposed improvements shall be included. Section 3.05(a)(1)(vi) 1. Streamlined review of applications for development, including permit review and subdivision plat review within the areas designated for growth in the plan; 2. The use of flexible development regulations to promote innovative and cost-saving site design and protect the environment; and 3. Economic development in areas designated for growth in the plan through the use of innovative techniques. Section 3.05(a)(1)(viii) A Sensitive Area element that contains goals, objectives, principles, policies, and standards designed to protect, from the adverse effects of development, sensitive areas, including the following: 1. Streams and their buffers; 2. 100-Year Floodplains; 3. Habitats of Threatened and endangered Species; and 4. Steep slopes Section 3.05(a)(2) The sensitive areas element adopted under paragraph (1)(viii) of this subsection may also include other areas in need of special protection, as determined in the local plan. Section 3.06(b) In addition to the requirements of subsection (a) of this section, the Commission shall implement the following "Visions" through the plan described in 3.05 of the Article: -i- 1. Development is concentrated in suitable area; 2. Sensitive areas are protected; 3. In rural areas, growth is directed to existing population centers and resource areas are protected; 4. Stewardship of the Chesapeake Bay and the Land is a universal ethic; 5. Conservation of resources, including a reduction in resource consumption, is practiced; 6. To assure the achievement of paragraphs (1) through (5) of this subsection, economic growth is encouraged and regulatory mechanisms are streamlined; and 7. Funding mechanisms are addressed to achieve these visions. Section 3.06(c) 1. Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, the authority to adopt regulations concerning the implementation of subsection (B) of the section in a plan shall be vested solely in the legislative Body of the jurisdiction that has adopted the plan. 2. This subsection does not limit the Office of Planning, the State Economic Growth, Resource Protection, and Planning Commission, or any subcommittee of the Commission, from exercising any authority granted under the State Finance and Procurement Article. In addition to addressing the State mandates, the 1996-97 Update provides the Town with an opportunity to update background data (Part I) and to make revisions and additions to the goals, objectives, and recommendations to the Comprehensive Plan (Part II) outlined in the 1991 Plan. The update to Part I and II of the Plan, other than those required by the Planning Act of 1992, are the result of reflecting upon accomplishments by the public and private sector and the re-evaluation of the Town's goals resulting from changes in philosophy and environs that have occurred over the past five years. Changes in most of the goals of the Town's comprehensive plan will be subtle in many instances as the Visions are not a new concept. The inclusion of the Visions offers an opportunity to enhance the Plan in areas previously only touched upon in a broad sense. HISTORICAL INFLUENCE PAST AND PRESENT Boonsboro is a town steeped in history and yet stalked by the future. This historic old Western Maryland municipality began as a small settlement in the late 1700's and was incorporated 1831. The completion of the National Pike (now U.S. 40 Alternate) to Boonsboro in 1810 at the terminus of Shepherdstown Pike (now Maryland Route 34) gave the Town the beginnings of a regional -ii- accessibility that made it a major commercial center. Other major roads were

Landscapes documented through the CLI are those that individually meet criteria set forth in the National Register of Historic Places such as historic sites, historic designed landscapes, and historic vernacular landscapes or those that are contributing elements of properties that meet the criteria. In addition, landscapes that are managed as cultural resources because of law, policy, or decisions reached through the park planning process even though they do not meet the National Register criteria, are also included in the CLI. The CLI serves three major purposes. First, it provides the means to describe cultural landscapes on an individual or collective basis at the park, regional, or service-wide level. Secondly, it provides a platform to share information about cultural landscapes across programmatic areas and concerns and to integrate related data about these resources into park management. Thirdly, it provides an analytical tool to judge accomplishment and accountability. The legislative, regulatory, and policy direction for conducting the CLI include: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 USC 470h-2(a)(1)).

    Porch Program” Series to Begin at Newcomer House in April

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: March 29, 2016 Contact: Rachel Nichols, Newcomer House Manager: [email protected] Web: www.heartofthecivilwar.org New “Porch Program” Series to Begin at Newcomer House in April Keedysville, MD – The Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area (HCWHA) will begin a new series of monthly public programs at the Newcomer House, HCWHA’s Exhibit & Visitor Center at Antietam National Battlefield, in April. These programs will be free and family-friendly, taking place on the porch of the historic house if weather permits. The first three programs of the 2016 season will cover diverse topics including music of the Civil War era, the role of women at Antietam, and fostering a love for history across generations. Programs taking place July-December are currently under development. April 23: Songs and Stories of the Civil War (11:00 AM, 1:30 PM & 4:00 PM) Through period songs, excerpts from actual letters, and anecdotes both humorous and poignant, Matthew Dodd takes listeners back in time to feel what it was like to be a soldier, civilian, loved-one-at-home or escaped slave in the Civil War era. Dodd will bypass the stories of the generals and the battle movements and concentrate on the feelings of individuals on the home front and seeking freedom. Dodd will play acoustic guitar, harmonica, banjo and mandolin in an informal, story circle setting. May 7: Women of Antietam (11:30 AM and 1:30 PM) Civil War medicine expert Betsy Estilow will discuss the role of nurses and other women at the September 1862 Battle of Antietam on the porch of the Newcomer House.
