EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Introduction Introduction
The EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan is a refinement ofthe 1997 Anne Arundel County General Development Plan.
The purpose ofthe EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan is to enhance the quality oflife in EdgewaterlMayo, to help implement the goals and recommendations of the General Development Plan, and to promote citizen, business and County cooperation in the planning and development process.
The Plan's development was a collaborative process involving the EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Committee, stafffrom the Office ofPlanning and Zoning, other County agencies and the public. Together, the Small Area Planning Committee and staff have held public forums, conducted regular committee meetings, sent out and received questionnaires and focus group surveys, and have spoken with and listened to area residents to help identify assets, issues, and opportunities and to formulate a vision for the future oftheir area. They have discussed areas where pedestrian and road improvements may be needed; various land uses that may be appropriate and their possible locations; and issues regarding the design of residential and commercial uses and their overall potential impact on the function and appearance ofthe area and how this impacts this environmentally sensitive area.
This Plan for the EdgewaterlMayo consists of a document and maps. The document addresses community history and character, land use, zoning, circulation, natural and historic resources, utilities, community facilities and community design. The maps show existing and proposed land use and zoning. Together, the text and maps amend the General Development Plan and serve as a basis for comprehensive zoning ofthe Planning Area.
The Small Area Plan Process Starting with the appointment ofcommittee members and ending with the adoption of a long range plan for the community, the Small Area Plan process was designed to maximize public participation, build consensus and present the best plan for the future ofthe small planning area. All committee meetings have been open to the public. In addition, two public forums were held, one near the start ofthe process to hear from the community about issues, opportunities and a vision for the future and one near the end to present draft recommendations on the various subject areas ofthe plan as well as a draft land use map. Once the Committee and staff formulated their draft plan, it was presented to the Planning Advisory Board (PAB) for further review and comment by the public. Comments from the P AB were provided to the County Executive for consideration prior to introducing the Small Area Plan to the County Council for public hearing and adoption.

4 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Community History and Character Community History and Character
Community History Historically, the Woodland Beach area ofEdgewater was the site ofLondon Town, the Anne Arundel County seat ft-om 1684 to 1695. Designated by the "Town Act of 1683," it became an important trade and tobacco shipping center and was considered as the potential site ofthe colonial capital ofMaryland. The town was laid out on 100 acres ofland obtained from William Burgess. By 1720, London Town was thriving with several houses, taverns, warehouses, and shipyards. It had reached a size and economic vitality that rivaled the colonial capitals of Williamsburg and Annapolis.
The town's excellent geographic location was perhaps the main reason for its success as a commercial center. It was situated along a deep, freshwater river that could admit large vessels, usually transatlantic ships that arrived to deliver goods and pick up tobacco shipments. In addition, London Town served as a focal point for overland traffic on the colonial road network. Several early roads converged at its ferry crossing on the South River which served as a vital link in north-south travel. A second, "upper" crossing ofthe South River was established in the mid-18th century at the present location ofRiva Road.
In 1747 the Maryland General Assembly limited tobacco export to designated ports and did not include London Town among them. This resulted in the decline ofthe area's economy and popUlation in the 1760s and 1770s, which was exacerbated by an economic depression during the American Revolutionary War. By the end ofthe war, London Town was nearly abandoned. However, it continued to function as a ferry crossing to and fl:om Annapolis well into the mid 19th century.
Today, Anne Arundel County owns 25 acres of London Town which is operated as pali ofthe county park system in partnership with the London Town Foundation. The William Brown House, built between 1758 and 1764 by William Brown, a ferry-master, tavern-keeper, and cabinetmaker, is designated as a National Historic Landmark. The William Brown House was purchased by Anne Arundel County in 1824 for use as an almshouse, a use which continued until 1965. Almshouse Creek was named after this historic structure. Extensive archaeological investigations, conducted by Anne Arundel County, are underway in search ofthe lost town. Future plans include reconstruction of some ofthe buildings, including Rumney's Tavern as well as an archaeological learning center. Funding is being provided by the State ofMaryland and Anne Arundel County.
While London Town served as the market and trade center for the parish, All Hallows Church, located at the intersection ofMD 2 and Brick Church Road, was the religious center of parish life. Built in 1727, All Hallows is listed in the National Register ofHistoric Places. Nearby, on South River Clubhouse Road, is a small building from which the road derives its name. The
5 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Community History and Character
South River Club, established in the late 17th century by local planters and merchants from London Town, is the oldest operating social club in America.
Several plantations stretched along the Edgewater and Mayo peninSUla. Early occupants included the families ofBrewer, Beard, Lee, Burgess, Collinson, Linthicum, Mayo, and Selby. The community ofMayo derives its name from that family, the most noted ofwhich was Captain Isaac Mayo who was influential in locating the U. S. Naval Academy in Annapolis in 1845. African Americans were also early settlers of the region, first as slaves and some free blacks, working on neighboring plantations. After the Civil War, they made their living as farmers and watermen. Hope Memorial Methodist Church, located on Muddy Creek Road, was established after the Civil War. The present structure, built in 1960, is the third church building on the site.
By the late 1800s, steamboats plied the Chesapeake Bay, transporting produce, oysters, crabs and fish to commercial markets and passengers to recreational opportunities. Many wharfs were established on the County's waterways, one ofwhich was located at White's Point in Riva on the South River. Another, on the Rhode River at Carr's Whart: served the Mayo area. Germantown, on Whitemarsh and Bear Neck Creeks, was established in the 1880s and 1890s by German immigrants who made their livelihood as watermen. Many ofthe waterfront communities that line the shores ofthe Edgewater and Mayo peninSUla toady had their origins as summer recreational communities of small cottages and houses.
By the beginning ofthe 20th century, the seafood industry and truck farming, a method of farming using seasonal immigrant labor, were the main economic activities in the area. The popularity of the automobile and the construction and improvement ofhighways greatly added to the influx of people from urban areas, particularly Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Beaches, such as Beverly and Triton were developed in the 1930s as family amusement centers. Today this large waterfront area is part ofthe County park system.
Lee Airport, a prominent place in the heart ofEdgewater, was established in the late 1930's and early 1940's. According to Lee family legend, a pilot landed in their cornfield and proclaimed it a good place for an airport. The Lees complied. Florence Parlett, an early female aviator, started the flying school at the airport. Lee Airp01t still maintains an important role today in providing a strategic location for general aviation in the County.
Community Character The communities ofEdgewater and Mayo lie south of Annapolis on a narrow peninsula bounded by the South and Rhode Rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. Populated by approximately 9,800 residents, Edgewater is located on the south shore of the South River. Its commercial core is situated in the triangle formed by MD 2, MD 214 and MD 253. The residential community associated with Edgewater is concentrated on the nearby peninsulas extending into the South
6 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Community History and Character
River. Mayo, a dispersed residential community ofnearly 6,000 people, is located southeast of Edgewater where the peninsula begins to narrow. The center of Mayo is marked by the post office and elementary school on Central Avenue (MD 214).
The EdgewaterlMayo Small Planning Area extends along both sides ofRiva Road to the west to the tip ofthe Mayo peninsula to the east. The northern boundary ofthe planning area is the South River while the southern boundary is formed by Central Avenue, extending south of MD 214 to include the South River Colony residential planned development. A large portion of the planning area is located on or near the South River, Rhode River and the many creeks that extend into the communities on the peninsula.
The Riva Road area includes the residential communities of Sylvan Shores, Hambleton Estates, South River Heights Annapolis Landing, Aisquith Farms, and Waterford. This area also contains the Riva Post Office, the Riva Fire Station and a small local neighborhood convenience store.
Along Central Avenue, in the western part ofthe planning area, is the residential community ofWithemsea. In the area south and east ofBeards Creek and west ofMD 2, are the residential communities ofEdgewater Beach, Chestnut Hills, Southdown Shores, Southdown Estates, Hazelwood and Steuart Level. The Southern District Police Station, Lee Airport and numerous commercial enterprises are also located within this area.
East ofMD 2 to Glebe Creek is the largest concentration ofhousing in the planning area. This area includes the communities ofLondon Towne, South River Landing, Pine WhiffBeach, South River Park, Londontown and South River Colony. South River Colony includes townhouses as well as a community shopping center with a grocery store, discount department store and various convenience shops. Commercial businesses are located along MD 2 and MD 253 (Mayo Road). The Mayo Road commercial area includes many small businesses such as restaurants and service oriented uses. A government complex, including the Edgewater Library, Senior Center, and Post Office is located in this area along Stepney's Lane. The Edgewater Elementary School and Edgewater Park are located near the intersection ofMayo Road and Oakwood Road.
South ofCentral Avenue is the single family component ofthe South River Colony development, which also includes an I8-hole golf course. The South River Educational complex is also located in this area and includes Central Elementary School, Central Middle School and South River High School.
In the area east ofMuddy Creek Road (MD 468) to Loch Haven Road are the communities of Glebe Heights, Turnbull Estates, Loch Haven Beach, Cape Loch Haven, and Coxby Estates. This area also includes the Loch Haven Park and South River Farm Park. A small commercial area is located at the intersection of Loch Haven Road and Central Avenue.
7 EdgewaterlMa,yo Small Area Plan Community History and Character
East ofLoch Haven Road to the end ofthe Mayo peninsula are the communities of Selby on the Bay, River Club Estates, Holly Hill Harbor, Ponder Cove, Carrs Wharf, Turkey Point, Shoreham Beach, Saunders Point, Mayo Beach and Beverly Beach. There are many marinas in this part ofthe peninsula, especially in Turkey Point, due to the large number ofcreeks and coves located there. A small commercial area is located at the intersection ofMayo Road and Triton Beach Road. One of the County's largest parks, the Beverly-Triton Beach park, is also located in this area.
Overall, the Edgewater/Mayo Planning Area may be characterized as a blend ofrural and small town uses, with several water-oriented communities and moderately accessible community commercial uses.

10 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Plan Vision A Vision for the Future
This represents a vision ofthe future for EdgewaterlMayo, what it can be ifthe goals and recommendations ofthe plan are implemented
The Edgewater and Mayo area is comprised mainly ofwaterfront communities. Many of these communities are embraced by extensive greenspace in South Anne Arundel County. The area provides an overall impression of mixed use rural with controlled growth within the environmentally sensitive peninsulas. The Mayo Road Corridor between MD 2 and MD 214 is a local commercial and tourist center. Businesses entering the area introduce new commercial services and restaurants and support the growth ofthe local economy. Some visitors arrive in Edgewater to view the grounds ofthe National Historic landmark at the restored Colonial port town ofLondon. Other tourists admire activities at the historic Lee Airport.
Residents ofEdgewaterlMayo live in this area because of its proximity to the Chesapeake Bay. Access by the communities and the general public is provided by private and public piers and marinas. Local residents enjoy many natural features associated with proximity to the water and woodland areas. The local community and County manage collaborative programs designed to protect and preserve the delicate balance oflife and health ofthe rivers and creeks. As a result, waterfowl, fish and wildlife are abundant. Active and passive parks provide recreation opportunities for local residents as well as places to view wildlife in a natural setting.
Residents appreciate the small town atmosphere ofEdgewaterlMayo where residences have access to nearby walkways, bike trails and services along or near the revitalized Mayo Road commercial village area, where the post office, fire station, police station, senior center and library are located. Nearby is the Mayo public square where music can be heard during warmer weather and where families enjoy the comfort and beauty ofthe outdoor plantings and fountains. In other parts ofthe EdgewaterlMayo area, small village centers at Riva and Mayo provide easily accessible, limited convenience services to nearby residents.
The entryway into the area is by the picturesque MD 2 and 214 boulevards, both tree lined, pedestrian and bicycle friendly roads. Solomons Island Road (MD 2) and Mayo Road (MD 214) provide safe, uncongested travel along the Mayo peninsula for cars, bikes and pedestrians. Access into and out ofneighborhoods and businesses is provided in a safe and convenient manner. Bike and walking paths are provided along MD 2 and MD 214 with linkages to award winning neighborhood parks, community open spaces and waterfront areas, providing safe, easy access for nearby residents.
Homes in the EdgewaterlMayo communities consist mostly of single family homes and come in a variety oftypes and pllce ranges, and a diverse population lives in the area. Public services and facilities are ofa high standard. Edgewater and Mayo residents are proud of their
11 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Plan Vision quality schools including the Blue Ribbon Mayo Elementary School and South River High Schoo1. Communities are well served by emergency and public safety services.
12 Edgewater/Atfayo Small Area Plan Plan Concept Plan Concept
The Plan Concept for the EdgewaterlMayo Small Planning Area is for revitalization of existing commercial areas along Mayo Road, MD 2, and the Pike Ridge Road triangle to serve the nearby residential communities. The Plan Concept also includes access roads on the east and west sides ofMD 2 to help facilitate the flow of traffic to local businesses. Connections to all parts of the Edgewater and Mayo area, especially local and community parks, will be by bicycle and pedestrian trails. The character ofthe Mayo peninsula will be maintained as low-density residential.
Commercial Revitalization Mayo Road and MD 2 are two ofthe busiest roads through the EdgewaterlMayo area. They are also the most developed commercial corridors in the area. These two roads constitute the central business district of Edgewater. Their continued vitality is important to the health and stability ofthe area. The Small Area Plan calls for improvements along these two corridors.
Along MD 2, improvements to the road began in 2000. Sidewalks, street trees and a bike lane are planned for this roadway from the South River to just south of Pike Ridge Road. With these public improvements comes an opportunity for business owners to improve building facades, signage and parking; and to reduce the number ofcurb cuts by interconnecting driveway and parking facilities; and to create an attractive gateway to South County. While this Small Area Plan does not provide specific details ofsuch a plan, property owners, community volunteers and County staff should take the initiative to malce this happen.
On the Mayo Road corridor from MD 2 to Stepneys Lane, and especially from Oakwood Road to Stepneys Lane, there is an opportunity to create a true village center for Edgewater; within walking distance ofhundreds ofresidents. It is envisioned that Mayo Road could become a pedestrian friendly roadway through the "center of town," with sidewalks forming buffers between businesses and on-street parking. On-street parlong would be supplemented by convenient off-street parking areas adjacent and to the rear ofbusinesses, interconnected by intemal driveways and access roads. As with MD 2, there would be opportunities for businesses to make improvements to their building facades and signage.
The Pike Ridge Road commercial area, a triangular area formed by MD 2, MD 214 and Pike Ridge Road, provides another opportunity for commercial revitalization. With homes on the west side of the triangle and a shopping center on the east side, it is envisioned that this area can link the two, with complementary uses, such as housing and offices, located in between.
13 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Plan Concept Access Roads Access roads should be considered along the east side ofMD 2 between Pike Ridge Road and Mayo Road and on the west side ofMD 2 from the existing access road on the Lee property to Mayo Road. In order to avoid additional traffic in residential neighborhoods, the access road on the west side ofMD 2 will not extend north to Virginia Avenue and will not extend south to Southdown Road.
Bicycle, Pedestrian and Transit Connections The EdgewaterlMayo area has an abundance ofpublic parkland, but little in the way of bicycle and pedestrian access to these natural areas. All along the peninsula there are parks such as Edgewater Park, the School Complex, Loch Haven Park, South River Farm Park, and the Beverly-Triton Beach Park. South River Farm Park and Beverly Triton Beach Park are currently open, but limited to permit holders only. Plans for Beverly-Triton are being developed. It is envisioned that safe, convenient pedestrian and bicycle access can be provided all along the peninsula.
With the future improvements planned for the Londontown Archaeological Area, there is also an opportunity to provide some form oflocal transit within the planning area as well as regionally from outside the planning area, such as from Annapolis and South County. This would include residents from the Edgewater and Mayo areas taking advantage oflocal weekend shuttle service from points within the planning area to points outside, such as the Annapolis Mall, Downtown Annapolis, the BWI Airport and other destinations.
Residential Communities The planning concept for the future envisions maintaining the character ofthe area in general. The goal is to provide a balance of housing types in the planning area that is in keeping with the character ofthe area. Residential communities in Edgewater will include a mix oflow density communities of single family homes and medium density communities closer to the MD 2 commercial conidor. Additional townhouse development in the future should be discouraged. The Mayo area, on the other hand, is spread out in a more suburban/rural pattern of development and will continue to maintain low development densities. Services in this area should be located at already existing commercial nodes along MD 214.
14 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Plan Highlights Plan Highlights
The following are some ofthe key recommendations for the EdgewaterlMayo planning area.
Business RevitalizationlLand Use • Establish a private nonprofit redevelopment organization to assist businesses with redevelopment and expansion needs, assisting small home businesses with relocation needs.
• Provide incentives to facilitate growth and expansion of businesses in the Pike Ridge Village area.
Transportation • Provide access roads to businesses parallel to and on both sides ofMD 2 to reduce driveway access directly onto MD 2, and discourage approval ofany new direct entrances onto MD 2.
• IdentifY specific improvements that can be implemented as soon as possible to improve safety along MD 214, including but not limited to shoulders, widening at intersections, and tum lanes. Also, identifY potential improvements to improve safety along Riva Road.
• Provide off-road bikeways and pedestrian trails to popular destinations on the peninsula and vicinity, such as Beverly Triton Beach Park, South River Farms Park, Loch Haven Park, Annapolis, etc.
• Install a pedestrian bridge over MD 214 at the South River School site, or implement other solutions to increase the safety for pedestrian crossings.
Environment • Establish a South RiverlRhode River Watershed Association, or utilize an existing organization, to help implement the adopted plan, monitor the strategies, and provide unity in issues that affect the EdgewaterlMayo area. The committee should be composed of area residents, environmentalists and County staff.
• Provide information on the impact to shallow wells from buildout. Develop a groundwater management plan to ensure that current water quality does not decline below acceptable standards.
15 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Plan Highlights
• Take proactive and aggressive steps to locate reforestation sites in EdgewaterIMayo. Use reforestation funds to create larger buffers, forest open space, or reestablish native plants. Retain or create corridors between isolated forest patches.
Community Facilities • Expedite completion ofall recommendations in the Fire Department Water Supply Master Plan pertaining to EdgewaterIMayo in order to address water flow deficiency issues.

Existing Conditions
Chesapeake Bay Critical Area In 1984, the Maryland General Assembly passed the Critical Area Law in response to the environmental decline ofthe Chesapeake Bay. This law created a special planning area encompassing all wetlands, land, and water areas within 1000 feet ofthe landward boundaries of the mean high tide or the edge oftidal wetlands as designated on the State Tidal Wetland maps. The Critical Area Commission was also created to formulate protective criteria for the use and development ofthis area and to oversee the programs developed by local jurisdictions, which were required by the State law to develop their own Critical Area Programs based on the Commission's criteria.
Anne Arundel County's Critical Area program was developed in 1988 to manage land use in these sensitive coastal areas. Pursuant to the State's criteria, the County designated three development categories within the Critical Area. The delineation of the development categories was based on the existing development and available public services as ofDecember 1, 1985. The three categories are listed below.
• Intense Development Areas (IDAs): areas of20 or more contiguous acres where development predominates and where there is relatively little natural habitat. IDAs can be developed with high density housing, commercial or industrial uses, according to the underlying zoning designation.
• Limited Development Areas (LDAs): areas developed at low or moderate intensity. Additional development must not change the prevailing established land use, and must improve water quality and conserve areas ofnatural habitat. LDAs can be developed with medium density housing at a maximum of 4 units per acre, commercial and small industrial uses according to the underlying zoning designation.
• Resource Conservation Areas (RCAs): areas characterized by nature-dominated environments such as forests, wetlands, or agriculture. New residential development is limited to a density of one dwelling unit per 20 acres.
Within the Critical Area, there is a 100-foot wide minimum protected buffer from tidal waters, streams and tidal wetlands. Development in both the RCA and LDA designations also requires that impervious surfaces be limited to 15 to 25% ofthe site. Clearing of forested lands is limited and there are specific requirements for reforestation. Moreover, development ofLDA or RCA lands that are not forested includes a requirement to establish 15% ofthe site in forest.
17 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
The State's criteria also required the County to designate Habitat Protection Areas (lIPAs) within the Critical Area. These include historic waterfowl staging and concentration areas, colonial water bird nesting sites, threatened and endangered species and species in need of conservation, anadromous fish spawning areas, existing riparian buffers, forested areas used by forest interior dwelling birds, nontidal wetlands, Natural Heritage Areas, and other areas oflocal significance.
The EdgewaterlMayo Planning Area covers approximately 7785 acres. Approximately 55 percent ofthe land area lies within the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area, as shown in Map 1. Almost 50 percent (2,253 acres) ofthe Critical Area is classified as LDA, based on its land use in 1985. Several Resource Conservation Areas totaling approximately 1,979 acres are scattered through the area. The largest RCAs are along Beards Creek, Glebe Creek and Glebe Bay, Bear Neck Creek, and Beverly Triton Beach Park. Around 520 acres are designated as Intensely Developed Areas, the majority ofwhich fall in the Londontown community.
Forest Cover As of1995 approximately 3,788 acres in the EdgewaterlMayo area were forested, comprising nearly 44 percent ofthe total land area. The extent of forest cover contributes significantly to the area's character. Although much ofthe forest cover is fragmented into small patches, some large contiguous areas remain, especially north and south of Loch Haven Road, around Beverly Triton Beach Park, and in and north of Camp Letts.
Existing regulations limit clearing and cutting oftrees both inside and outside the Critical Area. However, forest loss and fragmentation does occur as a result of development, especially outside the 100-foot Critical Area Buffer. The County administers a Forest Conservation Program in accordance with the requirements ofthe State Forest Conservation Act. Under this program, development proposals submitted to the County for approval must include a Forest Conservation Plan which identifies and classifies wooded areas on the site and establishes limits of disturbance and areas offorest retention. The Forest Conservation Ordinance specifies conservation and afforestation thresholds according to the type and density ofland use. Development plans that propose clearing ofexisting forested areas must retain at least this minimum threshold, or else the developer will be required to reforest portions of the site or, as a less desirable alternative, to reforest areas offsite. Ifa developer can demonstrate that reforestation on or offsite cannot be reasonably accomplished, a fee in lieu may be paid to the County's Forest Conservation Fund, to be used by the County in reforesting sites as they become available.
Streams and Water Quality A watershed is an area ofland that is drained by a single stream or other body ofwater. Most ofnorth and east EdgewaterlMayo lies within the South River watershed, while the south and southwest portions lie in the Rhode River watershed. Most streams in Edgewater/Mayo are short, with small drainage areas that flow to the bays and creeks along the South and Rhode

Rivers. Beard Creek and Glebe Creek are longer streams with a more extensive network of small tributaries. Map 2 indicates the major hydrologic features in the Planning Area, and the subwatersheds draining to individual tributaries ofthe South and Rhode Rivers are shown on Map 3.
Overall water quality in the South River watershed is fair, according to the 1996 Maryland Water Quality Inventory. SUliace waters are suitable for swimming and fishing, but shellfish harvesting is prohibited in many areas because ofelevated bacteria levels. Elevated bacteria levels are attributed to runoff, boating activities, failing septic systems, and poor flushing (due to natural causes) in the main stem ofthe South River. Input ofnutrients and suspended sediments to surface waters are mostly due to urban runoff.
Streams in EdgewaterlMayo are classified as "slightly degraded," according to biological information in the Maryland Biological Stream Survey and Anne Arundel County studies. The fish community is poor with pollution-tolerant fish being the most abundant.
The Maryland Deprutment ofNatural Resources (DNR) is the lead agency for the Tributary Strategies Program, a comprehensive approach to reducing nutrient pollution in Maryland's ten tributary basins to the Chesapeake Bay. Both the South River and the Rhode River watersheds are sub-watersheds ofthe Lower Western Shore Tributary Basin. The Lower Western Shore Tributary Team members represent constituency groups located throughout the watershed.
Presently, watershed management master plans are being prepared for the County's 12 major watersheds. The first ofthese plans was specific to the South River watershed. This master plan identified ·areas currently subject to adverse impacts ofstormwater runoff, and areas that would be subject to stormwater runoff impacts under future conditions if full build-out of current zoning was realized. Specific problems addressed included soil erosion and sedimentation, flooding, and nutrient and heavy metal transport. Management alternatives to address current and potential impacts were then identified and proposed for implementation. Many ofthese recommendations are being addressed via the County's Capital Programs. A similar plan for the Severn River watershed was initiated in February 2001.
Warehouse Creek Watershed Study Warehouse Creek, a tributary to the South River, has been the subject ofa more intensive watershed study focusing primarily on effects of stormwater runoff as land uses in this subwatershed change. This watershed study was completed in the Fall of2001 and included recommendations for stormwater retrofits and stream restoration projects in targeted areas ofthis subwatershed.
The study began as a response to citizens concerns regarding the widening ofMD 2 and the impact that it would have on Warehouse Creek. Residents in the vicinity ofthe
22 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
creek observed erosion and sedimentation in the creek and its tributaries.
The Study's objectives were to look at the existing conditions of Warehouse Creek, with attention paid to factors that affect its health, to describe the physical conditions of the creek and assess the influence of existing development, to use modeling techniques to provide stream flow and water quality and quantity information based on existing conditions and realistic future development, and to develop management plans to minimize the decrease in stream quality as a result of existing and future development.
The Study was conducted by the County in conjunction with local citizens groups. It is hoped that the study can be used as a pilot to detennine the potential impacts of a vatiety ofpossible future development and management scenarios on a small watershed like Warehouse Creek.
The Study used modeling to determine stormwater volume, discharge rate and pollutant loadings based on different scenarios including forested conditions, existing developed conditions, and future developed conditions.
The results ofthe study found that in the Warehouse Creek watershed there is poor aquatic habitat in streams, degraded stream stability and eroding stream banks, high sediment load and deposition exists, and there is a high percentage ofimpervious coverage (approximately 30%). As a result of the study, the following management strategies were recommended:
• Stabilize in~stream stability and habitat degradation problems through stream restoration.
• Identify and recommend homeowner Best Management Practices (BMP) options.
• Retrofit existing stormwater BMPs to provide for improved water quality management.
• Implement new, small scale stormwater BMPs in developed areas cUfl'ently discharging unmanaged stormwater runoff.
• Develop guidelines and criteria for future development to ensure water quality management, quantity management, and stream channel protection for the Warehouse Creek watershed.
Stream buffers The term riparian refers to the areas bordering streams. Riparian buffers are vegetated
23 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
areas that help protect streams fi'om disturbances. Effective riparian buffers have many environmental benefits:
• They enhance water quality by trapping' sediment and removing pollution from run-off and the air,
• They assist in flood protection by reducing water flow energy,
• They protect the overall stream environment by moderating temperature and light, and
• Depending on their width, they can provide impottant habitat for wildlife. They also assist in deterring invasion by non-native and undesirable plant species.
These benefits also have important economic value in terms of avoiding the cost of repairing damaged streams and engineered approaches to removing pollutants.
Effective buffers are typically between 35 and 100 feet wide, although widths ofup to 300 feet may be recommended for wildlife habitat. Forested buffers are typically the most beneficial, although in some situations it is recommended that the outer zone of the buffer include grasses. Forested buffers should include a diversity ofnative, noninvasive trees and shrubs.
The existing extent and condition offorest buffers in EdgewaterlMayo has not been documented. Review of aerial photographs and forest cover maps plus spot field checks suggests that buffers may be intact along many ofthe stream miles in the planning area. However, a more thorough review including more extensive field checks is needed to determine actual conditions. Many riparian areas are on private property and landowner permission would be needed for a complete survey.
Within the Critical Area, stream buffers are protected through the required 100-foot wide buffer. However, in much ofEdgewaterlMayo the buffer is not intact because it was developed before the Critical Area regulations took effect. Beard Creek, Sellman Creek, the downstream portion of Glebe Creek, and other scattered locations have some buffer protection under the Open Space (OS) zoning. Development in this district is quite restricted and structures must be located outside the "natural drainage system" which includes lands within the coastal floodplain, wetlands, and uplands with a slope over 15 percent. Outside the OS districts and the Critical Area in EdgewaterlMayo, no additional buffer from streams is required beyond the county and state-required minimum 25-foot buffer to non-tidal wetlands.
24 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
Septic Systems and Groundwqter Pollution from septic systems has been identified as an issue of concern. In addition to environmental health concerns from failing systems, a major concern is nitrogen percolating from drain fields adding excess nutrients to ground water and surface water.
Most of Edgewater/Mayo's older communities were established on septic systems. Many ofthese systems failed and have been replaced with public sewer systems or other types of shared systems. It is estimated that fewer than 10 percent ofEdgewater/Mayo 's homes now use septic systems. Some areas such as Edgewater Beach are designated for future sewer service (extended only for reasons ofpublic health or safety), but extending public sewer to other areas with septic systems may be cost prohibitive and could have other consequences, including opening up areas that are not developable or are planned for low density development to pressures for more intense development.
Nitrogen-removing septic systems are available, and can remove nitrogen in comparable amounts to biological nitrogen removal systems at wastewater treatment plants. Around 300 ofthese systems have been installed in Anne Arundel County. One subdivision in Gingerville is part of a national on-site sewerage treatment system demonstration. These systems are more expensive than traditional septic systems and require more frequent maintenance by homeowners.
Most ofEdgewater/Mayo's homes have private water supply wells, although nearly all ofthe new development of South River Colony will use the public water supply system. In addition, an amendment to the Master Plan for Water Supply and Sewer Systems was introduced in the Fall of2001 that will change the water service category in Edgewater and Londontown from a No Public Service category to the Planned Service category, allowing the area to be served by public water in the future should these communities choose to petition for extension of public water service. The quality ofgroundwater in the area is generally good. However, in shallow wells near the shoreline, some cases of saltwater intrusion have been detected. Due to poor maintenance and overflow ofseptic systems, some nitrates have also been detected in water supply wells. Although there have been some isolated incidences of contaminated well water, the Health Department has found no area-wide pattern or source ofcontamination.
The Maryland Department ofthe Environment (MDE) monitors groundwater levels and reports that the groundwater level in the Edgewater/Mayo area is in good supply. Problems with ground water supply have been reported in other parts ofthe county, relating to falling well-water levels and salt-water intrusion. No reports of such problems have been reported in EdgewaterlMayo. Even though there have been no reports of problems, there still is a concern that additional development could cause failures.

Wetlands The majority ofwetlands in Edgewater/Mayo are tidal and non-tidal riparian wetlands, according to mapping from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps. However, there are other small, isolated wetlands scattered throughout the area. The NWI maps are a general guide to the presence ofwetlands but are not definitive, and wetland delineations have to be performed on an individual site basis to definitively establish their presence and extent.
Wetlands have long been recognized as an important component in the health ofthe Chesapeake Bay. They provide numerous environmental benefits that include filtering sediment and nutrients from upland runoff, controlling flooding and shoreline erosion, providing nurseries for shellfish and finfish, absorbing nutrients from the water column, and providing valuable habitat for many aquatic and terrestrial species ofplants and animals. Tidal wetlands are important to commercial and recreational fisheries because many ofthe Bay's commercial fin and shellfish spend some portion oftheir lives in this environment. The aesthetic value oftidal wetlands is demonstrated by the many residents who want to live on or near the water.
The County protects tidal wetlands through implementation and enforcement ofthe Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Program. Through the County permit process, any proposed impacts to tidal wetlands are assessed by the permit reviewer to determine compliance with Critical Area requirements.
Nontidal wetlands are areas that are characterized by an ample water supply, saturated or hydric soils, and hydrophobic vegetation. These characteristics distinguish wetlands from upland areas and provide the framework for the regulatory definition of non-tidal wetlands used by the State and the Federal government. There are many types of nontidal wetlands, such as forested wetlands, scrub-shrub wetlands, and wet meadows to name a few. Nontidal wetlands provide many ofthe same environmental functions as tidal wetlands, including habitat for fish and wildlife, maintaining water quality and flood control, reducing nutrients from runoff, and enhancing groundwater recharge.
The County protects nontidal wetlands through the implementation and enforcement of the Critical Area Program, the Sensitive Area Criteria in the County Grading Ordinance, and cooperation from Maryland Department ofthe Environment and the u.s. Army Corps of Engineers. An applicant proposing to disturb nontidal wetlands within the Critical Area needs to obtain not only a building and grading permit and State andlor Federal Permit approval, but also a variance to the Habitat Protection Area criteria cited in Article 28 ofthe County Code (Zoning Ordinance). The State and county require a minimum 25-foot buffer to all non-tidal wetlands.
Floodplains Floodplains are the areas adjacent to a stream or river that are subject to flooding or inundation during storm events. Floodplains are designated by the Federal Emergency
26 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
Management Agency (FEMA) as non-tidal, tidal, and coastal high hazard, and are frequently defined in terms of the likelihood offlooding in a given year. For example, the 100-year floodplain is the area adjacent to a stream or river that floods, on average, every 100 years. The major streams draining to the South and Rhode Rivers and the 100-year floodplains ofthese streams are delineated on Map 2. These floodplains have been identified through the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) and through specific floodplain studies. The non-tidal floodplains on the FEMA maps are based generally on the existing land use as of 1983. The county requires that new developments recalculate the floodplain based on current development plus future development based on zoning.
Most floodplain in EdgewaterfMayo is tidal floodplain consisting of areas that are susceptible to flooding by high tides, hurricanes, storms, and steady on-shore winds. Coastal areas ofEdgewaterfMayo, also extending up the creeks, are in the FEMA 100-year tidal floodplain. The entire southern end ofthe peninsula is in the FEMA 100 to 500~year tidal floodplain. Small areas along Beard Creek are in the 100-year non-tidal floodplain, where flooding could be caused by downstream flow overflowing the riverbanks.
Anne Atundel County first began protecting streams and floodplains in the early 1950s when platting oflots in the 50-year floodplain was prohibited. However, much ofthe legislation protecting floodpalins was not adopted until the late 1960s and early 1970s. Therefore, early development review did not account for impacts from increased stormwater runoff from individual sites or the cumulative impacts ofstormwater runoff in a drainage basin. This resulted in stream bank and streambed erosion in many ofthe County's streams.
Development is generally prohibited in the nontidal floodplain. Through implementation ofthe Floodplain Management Ordinance (Article 21 ofthe County Code) and provisions of Article 26 (Subdivision) ofthe County Code, requirements for development in or adjacent to the 100-year floodplain are set forth. Currently, developers are required to delineate the 100-year floodplain and the County prohibits lots from being platted in that floodplain. The floodplain is the be retained in or restored to its natural state and dedicated and deeded to the County as part ofthe development process. Although the floodplain may be deeded to the County, the developer reserves an easement to the community or homeowners association for the right to use the area in a manner not inconsistent with the maintenance and preservation ofthe 100-year floodplain.
In tidal floodplain areas, development is permitted provided buildings and structures are designed to minimize flood damage. The key criterion is for the lowest floor to be elevated at least one foot above the base flood elevation.
Sensitive Species and Habitat Protection Threatened and endangered species are protected by federal and state regulations. The bald eagle is a threatened species and there is one mapped and at least one unmapped bald eagle nesting site (near Cedar Point) in EdgewaterfMayo.
27 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
The entire EdgewaterlMayo shoreline is a designated waterfowl staging area. These are areas that serve as stopover sites or arrival or departure areas for migrating waterfowl. These areas are protected through some Critical Area program criteria.
Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) is considered critical to the Chesapeake Bay as it provides important nursery areas, food and habitat for a wide range ofbay species. Periodic surveys of SAVs are conducted in the Bay and indicate one individual SAV bed in Brewer Creek. Citizen field observations have identified the presence of SAV (mostly eelgrass and widgeon grass) at numerous locations in EdgewaterlMayo including several locations along Beard Creek.
The Natural Heritage Program under the State Department ofNatural Resources maintains lists ofboth State and Federally listed rare, threatened, and endangered animals and plants. The overriding issue for the protection of species is habitat preservation. The habitat of rare and endangered species is evaluated on a case by case basis as development occurs.
The sensitive areas shown on Map 2 include upland natural areas, natural heritage areas, habitat protection areas, and colonial nesting sites.
Steep Slopes and llighly Erodible Soils Steep slopes are defined in the County Code as slopes characterized by an increase in runoff, erosion, and sediment hazards and that (1) have an incline greater than 15% and (2) in the Critical Area have an incline equal to or greater than 15%. Generally, steep slopes cannot be disturbed unless the disturbance will improve an existing erosion problem. Moreover, slopes with an incline greater than 25% must have a 25-foot buffer between the top ofthe slope and any land disturbing activity. Development may occur within the designated steep slope areas as per the provisions of Article 21, §2-302 of the County Code. These provisions include allowing development if at least 30% ofthe parcel to be developed has less than 15% grade and is contiguous to a County road that allows direct car access to the principal structure.
Steep slope areas in Edgewater/Mayo comprise around 970 acres or 11 percent ofthe planning area. Most steep slopes occur along Beard Creek, Glebe Creek and the South River shoreline. Some areas, especially in the northern part of the planning area, have slopes with inclines ofover 25 percent. Steep slopes help create the rolling terrain that characterizes much of EdgewaterlMayo and contributes to its attractive character.
Large areas of western EdgewaterlMayo contain highly erodible soils. Disturbing highly erodible soils, especially on steep slopes, can result in increased sediments in stream channels, water turbidity, and additional nutrients.
Shoreline Edgewater/Mayo's extensive shoreline is the area's dominant environmental feature. Shoreline erosion is a regional problem. According to the DNR approximately one third of
28 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
Maryland's tidal shoreline is eroding at various yearly rates. Shoreline erosion results in the loss ofland and the reduction ofbuffer areas and wildlife habitat, and is also a major contributor to sedimentation, which increases pollution and degrades water quality.
The extent ofshoreline erosion in EdgewaterlMayo has not been documented in studies, but is an acknowledged issue ofconcern. Boat wake is considered a major contributor to shoreline erosion, especially with the long fetch across the South River. Enlarging existing no wake zones may conflict with recreational boating activity.
Erosion in many locations can be controlled using non-structural shoreline stabilization techniques to create protective, vegetative buffers. To enhance and stabilize the County's tidal shoreline, the County promotes the planting of native emergent shore grasses through the Emergent Grasses Program. This program provides native wetland plants to homeowners for re vegetating tidal wetland and shoreline areas. County staff work with the homeowners, providing planting instruction and assistance. In some cases, merely curtailing practices such as mowing to the water's edge can stop erosion. Structural shore erosion control methods typically are used to manage higher rates of erosion. The Department ofNatural Resources Shore Erosion Control program provides technical and limited financial assistance to property owners in resolving shoreline and stream bank erosion problems.
Historic and Archaeological Resources Hjstoric Resources An historic site or property is a site, building, structure, district, or object that is significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, and culture and is generally 50 years old or older. An historic property usually possesses integrity oflocation, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. It may be ofvalue to the nation as a whole, or important to the State ofMaryland; Anne Arundel County, or simply the community in which it is located. An historic property must possess at least one ofthe following criteria:
1. Association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history;
2. Association with the lives of persons significant in our past; 3. Distinctive characteristics ofa type or period of architecture, method of construction, or the work ofa master architect; high architectural value; or representative of a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or
4. Potential to yield or have yielded information important in prehistory or history.
29 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
Historic resources in Anne Arundel County reflect the County's over 300-year history. The Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties in Anne Arundel County lists over 800 historic resources Countywide. These resources include a diversity ofsites and/or properties such as dwellings, agricultural buildings, cemeteries, churches, commercial buildings, industrial and engineering structures, bridges, maritime resources, military structures, small villages and towns, and scenic and historic roads. Most of the County's historic resources are privately owned; fewer than a dozen are open to the public. Within the County, 35 historic properties totaling 636 acres are protected by historic preselVation easements that are held either by the Maryland Historical Trust or the National Trust for Historic PreselVation.
Within the Edgewater/Mayo Small Area, there are a number ofHistoric Sites and Buildings. The identification ofthese sites and buildings can be found in Table 1, while Map 4 shows the relative locations ofthe documented sites. Among the several historic buildings in the area are the William Brown House at Historic London Town and Gardens, South River Club on South River Clubhouse Road, All Hallows Church on MD 2, Gresham on Central Avenue, and Margaret's Fields on Shoreham Beach Road. The County offers protection to these historic sites through Federal and State regulations, as well as County legislation.
Archaeologjcal Resources In addition to the documented historic resources, Anne Arundel County has more recorded archaeological sites than any other county in Maryland, with many more sites still to be discovered. These sites span the entire 13,000 years ofhuman presence in the area and represent a unique and non~renewable piece ofcultural heritage. The assessment of archaeological potential for unknown sites is generally based on topographic and environmental settings. Several nationally significant prehistoric resources, located in the County, include the 13,000 year old Higgins site, the earliest undisturbed site in Maryland; the Garman Site with the oldest fireplaces excavated in the State; and the Adena Site which contains exotic and unexplained artifacts from the Ohio River Valley. The highest potential for prehistoric sites is along the Bay shoreline and its tributaries or the Patuxent River and its tributaries.
Significant historic archaeological sites include the house sites ofthe County's first European settlement at Providence in 1649; the Steward Colonial Shipyard burned by the British in 1781; and the lost town ofLondon on the South River. While the oldest of these sites are clustered along navigable watetways, later archaeological and historic sites can be found in more wide-ranging locales such as farmsteads or homes along old roads or railroads. In order to preserve and protect archaeological sites, exact locations ofthese resources are not released to the public.

Along with Federal and State laws protecting archaeological resources, the County Code also protects such sites during the review of residential and commercial subdivisions, clitical area allocations, and zoning change requests.
Scenic and Historic Roads In 1997, the County Council passed Resolution No. 45-97 which requested the County Executive to establish a program to protect, preserve, and recognize the County's scenic and historic roads by restricting changes to their alignment, appearance, and character. The program would have the following components:
1. Procedures for designation and classification ofscenic and historic roads,
2. Establishment ofmeasures for protection of designated roads including development ofabutting land and improvements to designated roads, and
3. Implementation of measures for (a) preservation, (b) protection, and (c) recognition based on the classification ofthe road.
Along the border or just outside of the EdgewaterlMayo Small Planning Area, there are two roads and a portion of one State road proposed for Scenic and Historic Road designation. They are Brick Church Road, South River Clubhouse Road, and a portion of Solomons Island Road (MD 2). While the importance ofprotecting the scenic and historic aspect ofthese roads is clear, their protection must be balanced with the need for safe roads and for appropriate development.
Annapolis. London Town, andSouth County Heritage Area In 1996, the Maryland General Assembly established legislation for the creation of a Maryland Heritage Preservation and Tourism Area Program. Designed to assist communities in Maryland through economic development and enhancement ofheritage tourism, it also provides mechanisms for the protection, preservation and promotion of historic, cultural, and natural resources. This legislation is intended to help Maryland compete in the heritage tourism industry, an industry in which the neighboring states of Virginia and Pennsylvania have enjoyed great economic success.
In the summer of2001, the Maryland Heritage Area Authority certified the Annapolis, London Town and South County Heritage Area as the third such area in the State. The heritage area encompasses the area ofthe county south of Sandy Point Park to the Calvert County line and from Solomons Island Road on the west to the Chesapeake Bay on the east, including Annapolis and London Town, two of the County's most popular tourist destinations. The Heritage Area Program holds the potential for enhancing and strengthening the tourist experience and for improving the quality oflife for the residents and businesses in the County that benefit from tourism. As a Certified Heritage Area, the
33 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
County will receive financial incentives and assistance in developing the area as an important heritage tOUllst destination.
Issues Related to Natural Resources Based on public input received at the forums, the overall concerns related to the natural environment center around preserving woodlands, natural areas, wildlife habitats, open space, and wetlands on the EdgewaterlMayo peninsula. The area's natural resources are one ofthe most important qualities to many ofthe residents, and there is concern that these may be lost in the future.
Below are listed several issues ofconcern that were frequently discussed during the planning process and that are addressed in the recommendations that follow.
Loss offorested areas: A strong desire was heard at the public forums and among the Small Area Plan Committee to limit the loss of trees and forested areas on the EdgewaterlMayo peninsula and to prevent fragmentation oflarge tracts of forested lands. Although developers are required under the County's Forest Conservation Law to provide compensation for areas cleared, this requirement is often met by payment of a fee~in-lieu rather than by actual reforestation. When funds are spent on reforestation projects, the sites' are often located in other parts ofthe County, so that the benefits of the forest conservation regulations are not seen locally by area residents. There is a desire to introduce more reforestation in EdgewaterlMayo, particularly within Critical Areas, whenever trees are cleared for development.
Water quality in area streams: Another area of concern is that ofwater quality in the South, Rhode and West rivers and their tributaries. Residents attending the forums voiced concerns about the lack of stormwater management facilities in older communities, a need to control runoff to prevent shoreline erosion, and the prevention ofany fiuther pollution ofthe bay. It was noted that river water quality is noticeably worse during boating season, possibly due to a lack ofenforcement ofholding tank laws and general stirring ofthe bottom due to increased boating activity during the summer.
Groundwater supply and qUality: Wellhead protection has been another concern voiced frequently, since much of the EdgewaterlMayo peninsula utilizes private individual water supply wells. While some problems with groundwater supply, related to falling well water levels and saltwater intrusion, have been reported in other parts ofthe County, groundwater supply and quality in EdgewaterlMayo is generally good, according to the Health Department and the Maryland Department ofthe Environment, with the exception ofsome isolated cases of contamination that have been detected. However, although current studies do not show a draw down ofthe groundwater in the area, residents are concerned that added development will unduly stress the supporting aquifers and cauSe salt water intrusion. Experts in this area have presented mixed opinions.
34 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
Failing septic systems: Pollution from septic systems was also identified as an issue of concern. In addition to environmental health concerns from failing systems, a major concern is nitrogen percolating from drain fields which adds excess nutrients to ground water and surface water.
Air quality: Air quality is a regional issue of concern to many County residents. The Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area, including Anne Arundel County, is a designated Non" Attainment Area for ozone levels, according to federal criteria. Both the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, ofwhich Anne Arundel County is a member, and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments encourage local jurisdictions to adopt policies to reduce ozone levels which are primarily the result oftraffic congestion. Local residents in the Edgewater area have also voiced concerns about localized air emissions during the winter due to the large number homes using wood burning stoves.
Goals and Recommendations
Goal: Promote and demonstrate respect for the environment Respect for the environment is needed through education in order to understand the sensitive nature ofthis area and its peninsulas. Approximately 55% ofthe EdgewaterlMayo area is in the Critical Area, within 1,000 feet from tidal waters and wetlands. Over-development can destroy valuable environmental assets. An understanding of the EdgewaterlMayo peninsula's limitations is needed.
Recommendations: 1.1 Create an awareness ofvaluable environmental assets in the community.
l.2 Coordinate efforts with groups such as the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to improve water quality.
1.3 Continue to implement recommendations made in the South River Watershed Management Plan to improve waterways in the South River watershed.
1.4 Prepare a Watershed Management Plan for the Rhode River watershed.
Goal: Protect the health ofcitizens by adopting policies and plans that serve to protect air and water resources. Concern for the existing communities and the effects that over development can have on the health ofits residents is needed to avoid diminishing the quality oflife in the EdgewaterlMayo
35 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
area. This must weigh heavily against developers' interests. The Small Area Plan should establish guidelines for growth in this area to avoid impacting the ground water and air quality that are essential to the health and well-being ofthe residents.
Recommentlations: 2.1 Potential build out in the EdgewaterlMayo area should be used to determine the limitations of future development. Current projections estimate a build out capacity of approximately 4,200 dwelling units in the Mayo area and approximately 6,100 units in the Edgewater area.
2.2 Conduct a study to assess air quality impacts due to wood stove emissions.
2.3 Work with other jurisdictions in the Metropolitan Baltimore Air Quality Control Region to establish and implement regional policies and measures to reduce ozone levels in the Non Attainment Area.
2.4 Provide information on the impact to shallow wells from buildout. Develop a groundwater management plan to ensure that current water quality does not decline below acceptable standards.
Goal: Protect the environment from degradation that can result from increased population and development. EdgewaterlMayo is comprised ofmany peninsulas that must be protected from over development. The Small Area Plan should be used as a guideline for development during the next two decades. Petitions for increased density must be examined by assessing the effects on the community as a whole.
Recommendations: 3.1 Establish a South RiverlRhode River Watershed Association, or utilize an existing organization, to help implement the adopted plan, monitor the strategies, and provide unity in issues that affect the EdgewaterlMayo area. The committee should be composed of area residents, environmentalists and County staff.
3.2 In order to protect sensitive areas, the Critical Area Law as well as State and Federal wetlands regulations should be adhered to strictly. Growth allocation should not be applied in the EdgewaterlMayo area.
3.3 Amend Subdivision Regulations to consider sensitive areas earlier in the development process. Consider higher bonding requirements for sediment control in sensitive areas.
3.4 Support development that protects and enhances open space and forest.
36 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
3.5 Identify specific wildlife habitats that need protection.
3.6 Parldand uses in the Critical Area must be environmentally sensitive. Parks located in Resource Conservation Areas should be limited to passive activities in order to keep land disturbance to a minimum.
3.7 Improve stormwater management and erosion control for highway and commercial projects through stricter enforcement.
3.8 Protect rivers and streams from new septic systems. Where it is more practical than extending sewer into the critical or sensitive areas, use specially designed septic systems for new construction.
3.9 Properly maintain Mayo sewer system to manage gray water.
3.10 In communities with failing septic systems and high nitrogen levels, promote public support for sewer installation.
3.11 Provide citizens with results ofriver pollution studies.
3.12 Provide communities in the area with information and incentives on methods that can be used by homeowners and businesses to reduce lawn and chemical usage. Develop a plan to educate residents on the positive steps that can be achieved for area water quality, native plants, wildlife habitat and air quality.
3.13 Support State enforcement of holding tank laws for boats. Monitor boaters for compliance and notify them ofpump out stations, and encourage greater use of spot checks by the Department ofNatural Resources.
3.14 Provide increased recycling oppoltunities in the community, including recycling of hazardous wastes and other recyclable material.
Goal: Enhance the environment through activities such as reforestation, restoration Of natural areas, and education. Most communities in the Edgewater/Mayo area are waterfront communities. They often have community-owned "common areas" that can be restored to a more natural state that will provide increased habitat to animals and native plants. A second benefit would be to improve the quality ofthe creeks and streams by enhancing shoreline and stream buffers.
Recommendations: 4.1 Take proactive and aggressive steps to locate reforestation sites in EdgewaterlMayo. Use
37 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
reforestation funds to create larger buffers, forest open space, or reestablish native plants. Retain or create corridors between isolated forest patches.
4.2 Establish a stream buffer restoration program for EdgewaterlMayo.
4.3 Create a neighborhood program to identifY community sites where native vegetation can be planted to increase shoreline buffers.
4.4 Reestablish colonial nesting sites for waterfowl in neighborhood communities.
4.5 Create a Heritage and Environmental Center along MD 2 to encourage, educate, and enhance environmental and historic elements. One possible location for such a center is the County police station at the comer ofMD 2 and Virginia Avenue, once the new police station is constructed on Stepney's Lane.
Goal: Improve stormwaier management to reduce and, where possible, eliminate the negative environmental impacts ofstormwater runoff.
Recommendations: 5.1 Implement a watershed approach to stormwater management, land use planning, development, permitting, and capital improvement program planning and execution to ensure that potential cumulative impacts ofland use changes are fully addressed prior to implementation ofthose land use changes.
5.2 Ensure all engineering design for stormwater management facilities is site appropriate and strictly adheres to the Maryland Stormwater Design Manual or County Stormwater Design Manual, whichever is more stringent.
5.3 Encourage, to the maximum extent possible, the use ofinnovative approaches to stormwater management and low impact development site design in the land development process.
5.4 Continue and, ifpossible, accelerate the County's ongoing effort to comprehensively identifY, analyze and, where needed, retrofit stormwater management problem areas.
5.5 Account for and minimize impacts to the 100-year floodplain with respect to stormwater runoff increases from new development. Where comprehensive or site-specific rezoning is expected to result in increases in runoff, the need for additional stormwater management, or retrofits to existing facilities, should be determined and accommodated.
5.6 Establish a comprehensive stormwater infrastructure preventive maintenance and
38 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
management program that reduces environmental degradation and extends infrastructure useful life.
5.7 . Aggressively pursue incentive-based approaches (e.g., state grant funds) to achieve retrofitting ofareas in need of improved stormwater management. Offer tax incentives to businesses and homeowners for retrofitting their property with modern stormwater management.
5.8 Ensure that all government-sponsored land use projects adhere to the highest environmental regulations and standards with regard to site design and stormwater management facilities, thus setting the environmental standard to be followed.
5.9 Implement, where possible, a minimum 100-foot riparian buffer to all perennial and intermittent tributary streams in the County to minimize impacts of stormwater runoff sheet flow to these systems.
5.10 Foster community education about stormwater issues through cooperation with local citizen groups, public and private schools, park and recreation programs, and use ofthe Internet.
5.11 Develop' and implement, on a continuing basis, a program to stencil storm drains to enhance community awareness that these storm drains direct runoff to tributaries ofthe Chesapeake Bay.
Goal: Improve water quality in the Warehouse Creek Watershed and other watersheds in the EdgewaterlMayo Small Planning Area.
Recommendations: 6.1. Stream Restoration - reaches 2,3,5 and 7 have been identified in the Warehouse Creek Watershed Stormwater Management Master Plan (WCWSMMP) Draft, dated October 3, 2001, as candidates for stream restoration. Opportunities to implement stream restoration in these areas should be pursued through capital, developer, and/or community projects.
6.2 Individual Homeowner Opportunities - homeowners should be encouraged to implement one or more of the following techniques to manage stormwater on-site: • install rain barrels, cisterns, bioretentionlrain gardens or dry wells. • stabilize areas ofexposed soils with grass or other vegetative cover to prevent contamination of stonnwater runoff. • disconnect impervious surfaces to direct stormwater runoff to lawns, depression areas, infiltration trenches, cisterns, drywells or rain gardens to reduce the impact on the rate and amount ofrunoff.
39 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
• adopt lawn care methods consistent with the Maryland Cooperative Extension Service for the Prince George's County Department ofEnvironmental Resources (1993).
6.3 Existing Stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP) Retrofits - the Warehouse Creek Watershed Stormwater Management Master Plan draft identified three existing stormwater management BMPs in the watershed as water quality retrofit opportunities. These include the Giant Food Pond, the State Highway Administration Access Road Pond, and the North Mayo Road State Highway Administration Pond. Opportunities to implement BMP retrofits in these areas should be pursued through capital, developer/property owner, and/or community projects.
6.4 BMPs for Existing Developed Propel'ties - ten green space areas were identified in the WCWSMMP as potential BMP sites for existing developed properties. These green spaces offer potential candidate sites for implementation ofinnovative, source control stOlIDwater BMPs such as vegetated swales, infiltration trenches and dlY wells, rain barrels, alternative pavement, and bioretention. These environmental and landscape enhancements can provide stormwater management quality and quantity management. These areas are located near the Safeway and Giant food stores, along Mayo Road between Marlboro Road and Ridgeville Road, along MD 2 between Mayo Road and Dental Road, and along Mayo Road in front ofEdgewater Elementary School. Opportunities to implement BMPs for Existing Developed Properties in these areas should be pursued through capital, developer/property owner, and/or community projects.
6.5 New Development SWM Regulations - new developed sites and redevelopment areas present another opportunity for improved stormwater management. Development in the Warehouse Creek watershed must comply with all new stormwater management regulations. New development and redevelopment in selected subbasins is encouraged to meet additional requirements to reduce pollutant loads, increase water quality volume storage, and limit imperviousness as recommended in the WCWSMMP draft dated October 3,2001.
Goal: Encourage preservation ofarchaeological and historic sites by increaSing County resources.
Recommendations: 7.1 Strengthen existing County codes and regulations to protect historic and archaeological resources, including scenic and historic roads.
7.2 Protect historic sites and structures by adding them to the Maryland Inventory ofHistoric Properties and the National Register ofHistoric Places. .
40 EdgewateriMayo Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources
7.3 Protect archaeological sites by adding them to the Maryland Archaeological Site Survey and the National Register ofHistoric Places.
7.4 Establish incentive programs, including tax deductions or credits, grant and loan funds, and technical assistance for property owners that protect and preserve significant historic and archaeological resources.
7.5 Promote and utilize opportunities in the Maryland Heritage Preservation and Tourism Program, including tax incentives and other funding sources, for preservation, renovation, and revitalization. This program includes the identification, protection, and promotion of significant historic and cultural resources that contribute to the development oftourist related functions.
Goal: Establish and implement a Countywide Scenic and Historic Roads Program.
Recommendations: 8.1 Encourage the County Executive to implement, as a priority project, the Countywide program recommended by the Scenic and Historic Roads Commission and by the County Council.
8.2 Incorporate the regulatory tools necessary to fully implement the scenic and historic roads program, as set forth in Resolution No. 45-97, into the zoning laws, the subdivision laws, the transportation master plan, the road design manua~ the landscape manual, the forest conservation ordinance, and other land use laws.

EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Transportation Transportation
Existing Road Network The existing road network serving the Edgewater/Mayo area is shown on Map 5. The area is served by two major north/south arterials, Solomon's Island Road (MD2) and Riva Road. Solomon's Island Road serves as the major arterial providing a gateway between Annapolis and the southern Maryland counties as well as a link to Central Avenue (MD 214), US 50/301,1-97 and the Parole Town Center. Riva Road provides the other major north/south arterial roadway in the planning area, providing a connection to the Parole Town Center, US 50/301, Aris T. Allen Boulevard, 1-97 and Central Avenue. The major east/west traffic movements in the Edgewater Planning Area are provided by Central Avenue and Mayo Road (MD 253). Central Avenue is the major east/west connection in the planning area providing direct linkage from the Mayo Peninsula to Prince George's County and I-951I-495 along the Washington Beltway. Mayo Road provides an alternative to the congested Solomon Island Road-Central Avenue-Mayo Peninsula route as well as access to the Mayo Road retail corridor.
The capacity and safety problems experienced along MD 2 prompted the Maryland State Highway Administration to provide funding for widening and safety improvements for MD 2 between Pike Ridge Road and Virginia Avenue. The project includes adding additional lanes in each direction and left tum lanes at all major intersections, and additional roadway space to accommodate bicycle use as well as sidewalks. The estimated completion date for this project is 2002. The limits ofthe MD 2 improvements project are shown on Map 6.
In addition to the above State project, the County's Capital Program for fiscal year 2002 includes funding for improvements to the intersection ofMD 214 and Muddy Creek Road (MD 468). This project includes construction ofan additional lane along northbound MD 468 to provide for a double left turning movement with adequate receiving lanes along westbound MD 214, and construction of a left tum lane along westbound MD 214 at MD 468.
Public Transit Service Scheduled transit service is not provided in the planning area. However, there are four major transit routes providing service to the Annapolis area. The MTA #14 route originates at the Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, stops at several locations in Anne Arundel County and terminates service at the Patapsco Light Rail Station. The MTA #210 originates at the Kent Island Park and Ride, stops at various locations in Anne Arundel County including the Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium and terminates service in downtown Baltimore City. The MTA #9210riginates at the Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, has several stops on West Street in Annapolis as well as the Harry S. Truman and Davidsonville Park and Ride lots and terminates service at the New Carrollton Metro Station. The MTA #922 originates at the Kent Island Park and Ride, follows the same route as the #921 but proceeds directly into Washington, DC from the

Annapolis Transit ofthe City ofAnnapolis provides transit service in the greater Annapolis area but does not provide service south ofthe South River Bridge. Trailways bus line operates limited intercity transit service to Annapolis on a layover basis.
The only pru-Ic and ride facility located in the planning area is the Baptist Church lot west ofthe MD 2/MD 214 intersection.
Issues Related to Transportation The following transportation issues were identified at public forums and by committee members.
Traffic congestion: Traffic congestion was one ofthe most frequently heard concerns at public forums. The MD 2 corridor and Mayo Road are the most congested roadways in the area, although MD 214 and Riva Road also experience problems with traffic congestion. The widening ofMD 2 through Edgewater currently underway by the State Highway Administration should alleviate problems along that heavily-congested stretch ofhighway.
Lack ofbike paths, sidewalks, and connections between activity centers: Residents expressed a need for improved bicycle and pedestrian connections between residential, recreational, and commercial areas, particularly on Mayo Road, MD 2, and portions of Central Avenue. The Countywide Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan currently underway should identify the missing links and new connections needed to complete a bicycle/pedestrian system in the EdgewaterlMayo area.
Safety and ease of access are major concerns along Mayo Road. Although no capital projects are currently planned for this road, consideration should be given to the issues of off street parking, driveway access and sidewalks. A plan to consolidate the existing driveways along Mayo Road and redesign substandard parking areas to eliminate vehicles from backing onto Mayo Road should be implemented in cooperation with Anne Arundel County and the State of Maryland. Where feasible, improvements should be made as soon as possible. However, these improvements may take place over an extended time period as changes in business ownership or major property improvements occur. The benefits that would occur include increased vehicular and pedestrian safety, a decrease in traffic congestion and an easily identifiable and accessible retail area.
Lack ofalternative transportation modes: There is little or no alternative transportation service available in the EdgewaterlMayo area. There is interest in initiating a weekend shuttle service connecting the planning area with retail centers in Parole and the City ofAnnapolis. This
45 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Transportation
can be explored in a joint City/County transit development plan as part of the planned Annapolis Regional Transportation Study or the Maryland Comprehensive Transit Plan.
Potential demand may exist for additional park and ride locations to service traffic destined for the interstate highways or Washington, DC A park and ride lot in the South River Colony complex should be considered if the aforementioned shuttle service is initiated. An effort should be made to make the public aware ofthe existing park and ride lot and ridesharing opportunities in the area.
Safety concerns along MD 214: Shoulders on MD 214 are needed to provide safe access for emergency vehicles, bicycles and children walking to school. A pedestrian overpass or safe crossing over MD 214 at the South River Educational Complex should be provided. Additionally, the intersection of Loch Haven Road and MD 214 was identified as a dangerous intersection.
Goals and Recommendations
Goal: Integrate land use and transportation planning to control growth and development
Recommendations: 1.1 Improve coordination between the County and the State relative to transportation and land use projects early in the review and approval process.
Goal: Reduce traffic congestion.
Recommendations: 2.1 Manage traffic through greater use ofIntelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures as alternatives to expansion of the highway system.
2.2 Establish the option oftransit use for special events in the short term, and work toward supporting a true transit system in the long term linking Edgewater/Mayo to Annapolis.
2.3 Design and construct a bikeway linking communities within the Edgewater and Mayo areas to parklands on the peninsula.
46 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Transportation
Goal: Improve road safety.
Recommendations: 3.1 IdentifY specific improvements that can be implemented as soon as possible to improve safety along MD 214, including but not limited to shoulders, widening at intersections, and turn lanes. Also identifY potential improvements to improve safety along Riva Road.
3.2 Install a pedestrian bridge over MD 214 at the South River School site, or implement other solutions to increase the safety for pedestrian crossings.
Goal: Minimize transportation impacts on the environment
Recommendations: 4.1 Provide off-road bikeways and pedestrian trails to popular destinations on the peninsula and vicinity, such as Beverly Triton Beach Park, South River Farms Park, Loch Haven Park, Annapolis, etc.
4.2 Ensure that precautionary measures to protect the environment, including silt fencing and monitoring of clearing, grading and construction, are taken before, during and after all road construction projects.
Goal: Transportation projects should improve existing economic centers.
Recommendations: 5.1 IdentifY specific transportation improvements such as roads, transit, pedestrian and bicycle ways, that can be incorporated into plans for redevelopment ofthe Mayo and Pike Ridge Village Centers.
Goal: Improve public awareness oftransportation programs andprojects.
Recommendations: 6.1 Improve ways to coordinate and disseminate information on transportation issues and projects to community residents and business owners.
Goal: Reduce driveway access along MD 2.
Recommendations: 7.1 Provide access roads to businesses parallel to and on both sides ofMD 2 to reduce
47 EdgewaterlMqyo Small Area Plan Transportation
driveway access directly onto MD 2, and discourage approval of any new direct entrances onto MD2. Access roads should be considered along the east side ofMD 2 between Pike Ridge Road and Mayo Road and on the west side ofMD 2 from the existing access road on the Lee property to Mayo Road. In order to avoid additional traffic in residential neighborhoods, the access road on the west side ofMD 2 will not extend north to Virginia Avenue and will not extend south to Southdown Road.
7.2 Obtain rights-of-way or easements from property owners as soon as possible to begin planning for these access roads.
7.3 Leave open the option ofrealigning the runway at Lee Airport to facilitate the location of a access road on the west side ofMD 2 in the vicinity ofLee Airport.

EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Land Use, Zoning and Business Revitalization Land Use, Zoning and Business Revitalization
Existing Land Use The EdgewaterlMayo Small Area contains 7,785 acres. Most ofthe developed land area consists of single family residential homes. Major commercial concentrations are located along MD 2 and Mayo Road in Edgewater, Maryland 214 and Loch Haven Road in the Mayo area and at various commercial marinas, especially in the Turkey Point area. There is very little industrial land use in the planning area. Vacant and agricultural land account for about 2,730 acres, or 35% ofthe total land area ofEdgewaterlMayo. Existing land use is summarized in Table 2 below and is shown on Map 7.

Residential Land Use The predominant land use in EdgewaterlMayo is residential. There are approximately 3,160 acres devoted to residential use. The largest user of residential land is single family housing. This land use category accounts for approximately 41 % ofall ofthe land in the planning area, or about 3,130 acres.
The development ofthe neighborhoods are oriented around the South River and Rhode River and their tributaries. Small, cottage type communities are tucked between waterways, recreation areas and preserved open space areas. New construction and renovations have changed the look ofmany communities.
The neighborhoods in this area are comprised ofold and new with varying housing types and a diverse economic population. The area is well served with schools and recreation areas. The atmosphere of the EdgewaterlMayo area could be classified as rural in nature with assets like the Chesapeake Bay, Historic Londontown, and park areas such as Beverly Triton Beach, Mayo Beach Park and South River Park which promote wildlife and provide open space.

Small areas ofmedium density homes comprised oftownhomes are located in the South River Colony subdivision between MD 2 and Stepneys Lane, and along Mayo Road. This growth area focuses new residential housing near existing commercial development where existing and planned public facilities will have the least impact on the environment and surrounding communities and encourage walking and traveling shorter distances for community and commercial services.
Commercial and Industrial Land Use Retail and office uses together account for 3.3% of all land in EdgewaterlMayo, comprising a total of about 250 acres. Industrial land uses comprise less than 1% of all land uses.
The amount ofcommercial and industrial floor area by category is shown in Table 3. Retail trade accounts for 56% of all commercial and industrial floor area. Most retail trade is in the form ofshopping centers. There are three shopping centers in the EdgewaterlMayo Planning Area.
Commercial development is concentrated along the MD 2 corridor between the South River Bridge and Central Avenue (MO 214). This commercial corridor provides a variety of retail and office uses serving the EdgewaterlMayo area, as well as surrounding neighborhoods. Other small community centers provide convenience shopping and are important elements in maintaining the "small town" atmosphere.

Recreation, Open Space and Other Land Uses Recreation uses, such as community parks, account for 1.6% or 123 acres. Open Space and Natural areas, which include floodplains and some natural park areas such as Beverly Triton Beach Park and South River Farms Park, comprise 11% or 864 acres ofthe land in the planning area. The largest park in the area is Beverly Triton Beach Park located on Triton Beach Road.
Utility (roads, water and sewer facilities) and government uses (schools, libraries, etc.) take up 7.9% of all land, comprising 610 acres. Vacant and Agricultural land accounts for about 35% ofthe land area in EdgewaterlMayo, comprising 2730 acres.
A major attraction to the EdgewaterlMayo area is water. The Chesapeake Bay and wide rivers suitable for boating have brought a mix ofyoung and old to settle in the older water oriented communities. Because ofthis natural resource, communities are focused on preserving the charm of their neighborhoods, keeping them safe and working towards improving their environment.
1997 GDP Land Use The County's current General Development Plan (GDP), as adopted in 1997, maps out a land use plan for the entire County that reflects desired future growth patterns over the next 10 to 20 years. The GDP Land Use Map is depicted in Map 8 for the EdgewaterlMayo Small Area. In general, the current GDP land use plan for the EdgewaterlMayo area consists ofthe following elements: • Low Density Residential land use covering all ofthe residential communities and vacant land on the Mayo peninsula, north and south ofMD 214,
• Low-Medium Density Residential land use covering the residential communities in the core of Edgewater, including Edgewater Beach, Southdown Shores, South River Park, South River Landing, Woodland Beach, Londontown, portions of South River Colony, and the Pike Ridge Road area.
• Medium Density Residential land use between MD 2 and Mayo Road in Edgewater,
• Commercial centers along the MD 2 conidor, Mayo Road corridor, in small centers scattered along MD 214, and in the Market at South River Colony,
• Rural Agricultural land use between Pike Ridge Road and Riva Road, and in the western portion of South River Colony, and
• Natural Features land use covering Beverly Triton Beach Park, Camp Letts, South River Farms Park, the stream valleys and floodplains ofBeards Creek, Glebe Creek, and other tributaries, and local parks.

The GDP also adopted a new land use category called Mixed Use and specified general areas where this type ofland use will be encouraged in the County. The concept of mixed use development allows residential, commercial, employment, open space, recreation, and community uses to be combined in close proximity to one another. The concept generally promotes not only a mix ofuses but also a mix of development densities, with higher densities used to concentrate development into more compact areas, thereby reducing the amount ofland consumed by development. Other benefits ofthis type ofdevelopment include shorter travel distances between home, work and shopping, thus reducing commuter times and auto emissions~ better pedestrian access; and creation of a stronger sense ofplace and of community. Examples of existing mixed use communities in the County include downtown Annapolis, Ferndale, Shady Side, and Crofton. Design criteria which are strongly encouraged in mixed use areas are compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods, quality design, improved pedestrian circulation, public open space, plazas, parks or recreation areas, and improved access to public transportation.
The GDP outlined four different types ofmixed use areas with varying levels ofuse and intensity. The four mixed use types are Employment Mixed Use, Transit Mixed Use, Commercial Mixed Use, and Community Mixed Use. The GDP identified one general area within the Edgewater/Mayo Planning Area where mixed use development would be encouraged and should be studied in greater detail dUling the Small Area Planning process. This area, which was designated for Residential Mixed Use (formerly called Community Mixed Use), is bordered by MD 2 to the east, MD 214 to the south, and Pike Ridge Road to the west, and is referred to as the Pike Ridge Village. The intention ofa Community Mixed Use designation was to provide for predominantly residential uses with some community-oriented commercial services and office uses in a location served by major roads. Recommendations regarding this area are discussed in more detail in the following sections.
The GDP also designated the Mayo Road corridor in Edgewater as a Commercial Revitalization area. This commercial corridor is one ofseveral in the County that has been targeted for revitalization or redevelopment. Planning efforts in this area should focus on creating opportunities for enhancements to buildings and parking areas, landscaping, streetscape improvements and signage, and better pedestrian access, as well as opportunities for redevelopment.
Existing Zoning Zoning is one ofthe primary planning tools used to regulate the use and intensity, development, and preservation ofland in the County. All land in the County is classified in one or more zoning classifications. Since much ofthe land in the Edgewater/Mayo area is developed, the zoning reflects, for the most part, what exists. Current zoning in the Planning Area is depicted in Map 9. Zoning classifications include agricultural, open space, residential, commercial, industrial, and maritime.

The RA, Rl and R2 residential zoning classifications account for 63% of all land zoned in Edgewater/Mayo, with almost 1120 acres (14%) zoned RA, 1993 acres (26%) zoned Rl and about 1803 acres (23%) zoned R2. The RA, Rl and R2 zoning classifications are considered rural and low density residential categories and allow single family homes on lots of one to 112 acre in size. The medium density housing range, land that is zoned for five to ten homes per acre, accounts for 21% or about 1670 acres.
Land zoned for commercial uses accounts for about 4% ofEdgewaterlMayo and covers approximately 241 acres, mostly concentrated along MD 2 in Edgewater. Industrial zoning covers less than 10 acres and accounts for less than 112 of 1% ofall zoned land.
Land zoned for Open Space takes up nearly 844 acres and accounts for 11% ofzoned land in EdgewaterlMayo. Most ofthe vacant land in the planning area is zoned for residential use.
Proposed Land Use and Zoning Changes This Small Area Plan proposes a new Land Use Plan for the EdgewaterlMayo area that attempts to refine the 1997 General Development Plan by more accurately reflecting both cun'ent development patterns and desired future growth over the 10 to 20 year planning period. Map 10 depicts the proposed Land Use Plan, and the proposed changes in zoning are depicted on Maps 11 through 13 in Appendix C, Table 5 lists the specific locations as well as the rationale for each of the proposed land use and zoning changes. In general, the land use pattern reflected in the GDP is carried forward in this Plan. The proposed changes outlined in Table 5 are discussed individually in the following sections.

In addition, during the Comprehensive Zoning process for Edgewater/Mayo, property owners, community associations and others were provided an opportunity to request or oppose a change in zoning of any property in the planning area. There were 85 applications received. A list of all applications and the Plan recommendations with regard to these is included in Appendix B.
Lee Property The Lee Property is recognized as a very important parcel ofland that serves as a buffer and transition to the community of Edgewater and also constitutes a gateway to the entire South County. Historically it has served as open space and as a buffer between more intensely developed areas to the south and the surrounding residential communities. Much ofthe property is located in the critical area and is environmentally sensitive.
As the new MD 2 access road bisects this property, it is recognized that continued residential zoning on that area bounded by MD 2 to the east and the access road to the west would not be appropriate. Because ofits unique location, that portion of the property is proposed to be designated for Commercial land use and rezoned C2. The C2 (Commercial Office) zoning category would permit commercial development consistent with existing commercial development along MD 2, such as banks and small businesses. It would continue to offer some transition between the intensely developed commercial areas to the south and the existing residential communities. C2 zoning will compliment the heavily C3 zoned area to the south that consists of gas stations, fast food, convenience stores, groceries and a lumber company. This zoning would also encourage potential professional use and office development that would bring beneficial employment to the area. Access would be limited to the access road, with no additional driveway access on MD 2.
It is recognized that a cohesive, planned development ofthe entire Lee property, north and south ofMaryland Avenue and consisting of approximately 150 acres, not just the area within the proposed access road, would be preferable to unplanned and piecemeal commercial and . residential development on the property. To this end the Plan supports the ongoing collaborative process between the owners and the neighboring communities to develop a land use plan for the entire property that would combine commercial, park and open space, and residential uses in a manner consistent with environmental concerns for affected watersheds. So long as the Lees and the neighboring communities reach a collaborative agreement embodying the terms ofthis Plan, the committee supports this use ofthe Lee property. The collaborative process envisions planned commercial development along both sides ofthe access road and along MD 2, as indicated on the proposed Land Use Map, to a depth ofapproximately 750 feet (being no more than 200 feet west ofthe current access road) north and south ofMaryland Avenue, with passive park/open space and limited residential development on the remainder ofthe property. Design guidelines for the commercial area can assure a cohesive, main street type ofdevelopment, with a mix ofretail and office uses. The guidelines would address building heights, setback appearance, landscaping, signage, stormwater management, and sediment control. The guidelines would include covenants requiring reasonable consultation and approval of any design proposals by the neighboring
60 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Land Use, Zoning and Business Revitalization
residential communities prior to any approval. Big box retail stores, stand alone fast food restaurants and other stand alone or pad site development would be prohibited. Access from MD 2 would be limited to the access road, with no additional direct access onto MD 2 unless existing access points are eliminated. Residential uses behind the commercial area would be clustered on lots no greater than one acre, with no more than nine homes permitted north of Maryland Avenue. In the event that Lee Airport were to close, additional homes could be located on the south side ofMaryland Avenue, otherwise the remainder of the property south ofMaryland Avenue would remain private open space or become parkland available to the public with possible reforestation, bike trails, observation areas and other passive uses. The commercial area south ofMaryland Avenue should be integrated with the Lee Airport site, making the airport a part of the community. It is important that development of the Lee property include retrofitting those portions ofthe property currently developed to control sediment runoff and provide stormwater management.
PiI!e Ridge Village In July 2001 the County Council adopted an ordinance on Zoning - Mixed Use Development Districts. This ordinance will allow implementation ofthe Land Use Plan with regard to areas given a Mixed Use land use designation. The Pike Ridge area, formed by the triangle between MD 2, MD 214, and Pike Ridge Road was designated for Residential Mixed Use in the 1997 GDP. During the Small Area Plan process, this area was further analyzed to determine the feasibility of developing the area in accordance with the adopted Mixed Use Ordinance.
There are currently elements ofmixed use within the Pike Ridge triangle. The area is comprised of approximately 50 acres, ofwhich one-third is zoned C3 or C4 and the remainder zoned Rl. A small residential community, the Stuart Level subdivision, is located in the interior and consists of approximately 27 single family homes on one-half acre or smaller lots. Several businesses and the First Baptist Church complex are located along the perimeter on Pike Ridge Road, MD 214, and.MD 2.
A concept plan was prepared to demonstrate a possible layout ofretail, office and residential uses which would comply with the Mixed Use Ordinance. Mixed Use zoning would encourage a cohesive development plan for the entire area that would offer a mix oflow to medium density housing, employment Oppoltunities, and some retail and service uses that could serve the local communities, as well as promoting opportunities for redevelopment or revitalization ofthe existing commercial areas. The Small Area Plan supports these concepts in general. However, the overall residential densities, types ofunits, and building heights allowed under Residential Mixed Use zoning are more intensive than what would be desired in this area by the residents ofEdgewater. In order to maintain the single family residential character ofthe area and assign zoning consistent with existing and surrounding uses, a change from R1 to R2 is recommended for the residentially zoned area within the triangle. The land use designation within this area is recommended to be Low-Medium Residential. Areas currently zoned for commercial
61 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Land Use, Zoning and Business Revitalization use will be designated as such on the Land Use Map and will retain their current zoning.
Holly Hill Harbor and Vicinity This area is bordered by MD 214 to the north and Bear Neck and Whitemarsh Creeks to the south, and encompasses the Holly Hill Harbor, River Club Estates, and Ponder Cove subdivisions. It is currently zoned R5 and is proposed to be rezoned R2. The area is designated for Low Density Residential land use and is currently developed at a low density with generally no more than two residential lots per acre. An interest in maintaining this low development density has been expressed by some property owners in the area, as indicated in a Comprehensive Zoning Application submitted on behalf ofthe Holly Hill Harbor Civic Association requesting a rezoning ofthat subdivision to R2. There are factors that support the need for maintaining low densities in this area. The majority ofthis area falls within the Critical Area overlay zone, as seen on Map 13 in Appendix C, and is classified as a Limited Development Area. The proposed R2 zoning will be more consistent with the Land Use Map designation and will maintain the CUll'ent development densities overall.
Williams Property This proposal involves a small amount ofacreage located on the west side ofMayo Road, just south of Stepney's Lane, that is proposed to be designated for Commercial land use (currently designated for Low-Medium land use) and to be rezoned from R5 to C4. The property owner, who operates an auto body shop at this location, owns property zoned C4 as well as a small strip of adjoining property to the south that is zoned R5, and has requested through the comprehensive zoning process to rezone this R5 strip to C4. This will allow the property owner a small expansion ofthe business.
Area-wide Land Use Map Changes Several general Countywide changes in Land Use Map categories were made subsequent to the 1997 General Development Plan and are reflected in the Small Area Plan Land Use Maps. These are listed below and reflected on the Proposed Land Use Map for the EdgewaterlMayo area:
• Industrial Land Use categories used in the GDP (Industrial Park, Light Industria~ Heavy Industrial) have been combined into one Land Use category (Industrial),
• The GovemmentlInstitutional Land Use category was used in the GDP to indicate . major Federal and State facilities or land holdings located in the County, such as the Maryland House ofCorrections, BWI Airport, Fort Meade military base, the U.S. Army Depot at Curtis Bay, and the U.S. Naval Station. This category has been expanded and now includes County-owned facilities, such as public schools, and
• Many scattered commercial properties across the County were not indicated on the GDP Land Use Map, due to the significant number ofthese and the small map scale of
62 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Land Use, Zoning and Business Revitalization
the Countywide GDP Land Use Map. Small Area Plan Land Use Maps are prepared at a larger map scale and allow more detail to be included. All properties that are used for commercial purposes and planned to continue as such are now indicated on the Land Use Map with a Commercial designation. Likewise, existing marina uses are indicated with a Maritime designation.
Assets and Issues Related to Land Use Several issues related to land use and business revitalization were identified at public forums and by committee members. There is an interest in creating an Edgewater small business district, one that would focus more on providing neighborhood services than regional services. It is generally felt that there is little or no cohesiveness to commercial areas in Edgewater, and that much ofthe existing commercial development is unattractive. There is a need to focus commercial development in appropriate areas that can serve existing communities. However, most residents expressed a desire to upgrade existing commercial areas instead of creating new ones, and to create opportunities for commercial redevelopment or revitalization as opposed to additional new development. A good nucleus already exists with the Mayo Road commercial area. A strong sentiment exists among many area residents against rezoning ofany additional land to commercial or other uses that would generate additional traffic along the already-congested MD2.
Furthermore, the general sentiment heard is against any land use or zoning changes that would result in increased development densities. Many residents are experiencing the impacts, in terms oftraffic congestion and loss of open space, ofthe densely developed Parole area to the north, and are .determined to maintain the rural character ofthe Edgewater/Mayo peninsula to the extent possible. A desire to limit growth was one of the most commonly voiced concerns at the public forums. In addition, there is a general fear or concern that planned infrastructure improvements, such as highway improvements along MD 2 and the upgrade ofthe Woodland Beach pump station and force main (discussed later in this report) will become incentives to increase development beyond that currently planned. This Plan does not support using infrastructure improvements as justification for increased development densities in the Edgewater/Mayo area.
One ofthe greatest assets this area has to offer is the water. There are miles of shoreline with waterfront homes, marinas, recreation and open space areas, all accessing tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. Access, however, is limited. With such a wonderful natural resource, public access is almost non-existent. The area has several public parks and many marinas, however, the parks are generally reserved for private patties and the marinas only permit slip renters the use of the facility. Additionally, much ofthe shoreline is owned by private communities, and use of the beaches and facilities is restricted to residents. With the abundance ofpublic land, residents and committee members felt there should be more public access.
63 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Land Use, Zoning and Business Revitalization
Public services for the most part are adequate in this area. The library and post office are two new facilities fulfilling the needs ofthe community. Additional ball parks, bike trails and sidewalks are desired to serve local neighborhoods. The area, however, is served with only one Fire Department located on Londontown Road and no paramedic company. The need for better fire and rescue facilities is critical. This is also expressed in the Communities Facilities section of the Plan.
Goals and Recommendations The Mayo Road and MD 2 commercial corridors are the gateways to South County and Edgewater. They are close to many nearby residential communities and provide basic services including grocery stores, restaurants, repair businesses, home and office supply stores, gas stations, and convenience goods and services. The economic health ofthese commercial businesses is vital to maintaining the stability ofthe area. A vibrant commercial area is also consistent with the goals and policies ofthe County's General Development Plan to provide services near to where people live and work to encourage shorter trips for these services. Commercial revitalization is a key policy of the GDP, because it benefits local businesses and property owners.
Redevelopment of existing communities and rehabilitation ofexisting housing is viable in EdgewaterlMayo. This Small Area offers public utilities, public services, natural resources, recreation and open space. The environmentally sensitive and open space areas can be preserved by promoting redevelopment and rehabilitation. Edgewater and Mayo should offer a variety of housing types and prices to accommodate the needs ofpeople at different ages and stages oftheir lives.
The Small Area Plan recommends a number ofstrategies to achieve the goal of revitalization ofthe MD 2 and Mayo Road commercial areas.
Goal: Encourage revitalization ofthe Mayo Road and MD 2 corridor. The commercial corridors along Mayo Road and MD 2 provide diversified services and facilities essential to maintaining a healthy economy. These areas, however, lack coordination of site layout, building design, and pedestrian access. Commercial revitalization efforts should be a priority in these areas.
This Plan recommends redevelopment and revitalization ofthe Mayo Road commercial area. This should be accomplished through a private, community based, non-profit organization. Design guidelines should be developed and applied to building, signage and streetscape improvements. The Plan proposes an overall concept ofa pedestrian village for this area, with the provision of sidewalks, off~street parking to the side and rear of buildings and on-street parking. The business and residential community must be involved throughout the process of redevelopment ofthis area.
64 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Land Use, Zoning and Business Revitalization
Recommendations: 1.1 Establish a private non-profit redevelopment organization to assist businesses with redevelopment and expansion needs, assisting small home businesses with relocation needs.
1.2 The organization should work to establish design standards to be used in implementing the Mayo Road village center.
1.3 The redevelopment organization should assist local homeowners associations, developers, the County, and State in implementing improvements to Mayo Road for the purpose of creating a cohesive village center, parking for the village center, and promoting visitors to historic Londontown.
Goal: Improve access to businesses for vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles. Access to businesses along MD 2 and Mayo Road is a safety issue as well as a business revitalization, land use and design issue. Safe access for cars, pedestrians and bicyclists encourages continued use ofthese businesses.
Recommentlations: 2.1 Eliminate driveways with direct access onto MD 2 and Mayo Road where possible and create access roads to facilitate traffic flow and access.
Goal: Provide appropriate commercial locations for home.. based businesses to expand Many businesses in the Edgewater/Mayo area want to expand, but do not have adequate land on their existing sites to accommodate building and parking improvements. There are some locations available in the area that would be suitable for business growth, such as the area between Pike Ridge Road, Central Avenue and MD 2.
Recommendations: 3.1 Provide incentives to facilitate growth and expansion ofbusinesses in the Pike Ridge Village area.
Goal: Maintain the current density ofdevelopment overall in the Planning Area.
Recommendations: 4.1 Limit commercial zoning to the areas shown on the Land Use and Zoning Maps.
4.2 The design limit ofthe Mayo Water Reclamation Facility is 5,100 EDU, and current build out estimates for the Edgewater area are approximately 6,100 units based on current
65 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Land Use, Zoning and Business Revitalization
zoning. Future residential development in the Planning Area should maintain these development densities in general. Infrastructure improvements provided to serve the existing population should not promote increases in planned development densities.

Water and Sewer Service The EdgewaterlMayo Planning Area is covered by two sewer service areas and is partially served with water ii-om the Broad Creek 210 pressure zone. The communities ofWoodland Beach, Edgewater, South River Colony, Southdown Shores, Annapolis Landing and Riva are part ofthe Annapolis Sewer Service Area (SSA). Glebe Heights, Coxby Estates, Loch Haven Beach, Selby on the Bay and all other communities ofMayo and Beverly Beach are served by the Mayo Water Reclamation District.
Water Supply Facilities and Capital Projects The area provided with public water service is within the Broad Creek 210 Pressure Zone. The County operates and maintains five wells in one well field in the Broad Creek area that can produce 6.9 million gallons per day (MGD) which the Broad Creek Water Treatment Plant system is capable oftreating, with a storage capacity of4.2 MGD to meet an average daily demand of2.1 MGD. Within the EdgewaterlMayo Small Planning Area, only the communities of Riva, Southdown Shores and South River Colony are served with public water from the 210 pressure zone. There are two plivate community well systems in this area. One serves Sylvan Shores and the other serves South River Landing. Map 14 shows areas designated for water service per the County's 1999 Master Planjor Water and Sewer.
There is one capital project in the Broad Creek 210 Pressure Zone that affects the EdgewaterlMayo planning area. This project is a 16-inch transmission main (project W-7537) along MD 2 that provides two crossings ofthe South River and ensures continuous service and improves fire flow capabilities to those customers on the south side of South River. This project has been recently completed and is in service.
Sewer Service and Facilities Map 15 shows areas designated for sewer service pel' the County's 1999 Master Plan jor Water and Sewer. The EdgewaterlMayo Small Planning Area is served by two separate sewer collection systems. The Riva, Edgewater, Woodland Beach, South River Colony areas are part of the Annapolis SSA while the Mayo Peninsula, Glebe Heights, Loch Haven areas complise the Mayo Water Reclamation Distlict.
The Annapolis Sewer Service Area Collection system is a composite ofgravity and force mains that convey wastewater flows to the Annapolis Wastewater Reclamation Facility (WRF) located on Edgewood Road across from the Villages ofChesapeake Harbour. The Annapolis WRF is a conventional system utilizing an anaerobic activated sludge process and is permitted to process 10 million gallons per day (mgd). This facility has recently been upgraded to meet the State's most stlingent biological nutrient reduction (BNR) requirements. A planned 3.0 mgd

Construction ofthis facility is anticipated to begin in 2002.
The Mayo Water Reclamation District utilizes a man-made natural environment to filter out nutrients from septic holding tank eftluents. The Mayo Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) is part of a large communal treatment system which serves the residents ofthe Mayo peninSUla and is owned and operated by the County. The WRF is located off ofMayo Road between Loch Haven Road and Selby on the Bay. Each residence or business in the service area has an individual below ground septic tank on-site, with the eftluent from the septic tank flowing by gravity or pumped into the collection system. The collected wastewater is conveyed to the central wastewater treatment facility by a series offorce mains and gravity sewer lines. The Mayo WRF was completed in 1988 with a treatment capacity of464,000 gpd. This capacity was based on a projected wastewater flow of200 gpd from 2320 EDUs (equivalent dwelling units). The original Facilities Plan called for the plant to be expanded in phases, with each phase corresponding to the addition of 585 EDUs to the service area, generating an estimated additional flow of 117,000 gpd. In January 1995, construction of the first expansion phase was completed raising the design capacity ofthe treatment plant to 581,000 gpd. The permitted capacity ofthe current facility is 615,000 gpd. The WRF is currently operating at 90+% capacity. The next planned expansion to 870,000 gpd is currently under design and anticipated to begin construction in 2002.
Wastewater Capital Pro;ects There are six programmed capital projects within the EdgewaterlMayo Small Planning Area. They are described as follows:
1. S7697 Mayo WRF Upgrade - present worth analysis for upgrade, operation and maintenance ofthe Mayo WRF and Glebe Heights Sewer Module demonstrates considerable cost savings by converting the treatment technology to a conventional activated sludge design. Design for upgrade ofthis facility will proceed with construction completion anticipated to begin in 2002. Projected ultimate capacity for the service area remains consistent with that originally projected when the existing facility was first approved.
2. S7698 Glebe Heights Sewer Module - design for upgrade ofthe Mayo WRF will include provision for transfer of Glebe Heights flow to the Mayo WRF. This approach for service to the community is selected to provide the most cost effective solution for construction, operation and maintenance ofthe treatment facilities.
3. 87765 Mayo Collection System Upgrade - construction for planned upgrade ofkey pump stations is underway. The upgrade in capacity ofthese pump station is consistent with the original growth projected for the areas served by each.
70 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Utilities
4. S7768 Mayo Septic Tank Retrofit - retrofit and replacement of septic tan1( manways is a mUlti-year project that will continue for several years to correct structural issues contributing to the infiltration/inflow ofsurface and groundwater into the collection system. The project will also be used to explore alternatives for correction ofsimilar infiltration/inflow issues within the privately owned laterals between resident's homes and the County owned septic tanks.
5. S7771 Mayo Interceptor Upgrade - this project has been completed. It involved construction ofa parallel force main along MD 214 which was required to facilitate pumping resultant peak flows during rain events. Excess surface and ground water entering the system, primarily via privately owned on-site plumbing, has historically exceeded capacity ofthe original force main.
6. S7884 Woodland Beach Pump Station and Force Main Upgrade - An upgrade is required to serve planned growth, commercial redevelopment and existing communities with on-site septic tanks who may petition for public service. The pump station upgrade will exceed capacity ofthe existing force main and downstream Parole Pump Station and its force main. Therefore, a new force main and underwater crossing ofthe South River is required. This project., once initiated, will require three years from start to completion.
Issues Related to Water and Sewer Service Several issues were identified at public forums and discussed at committee meetings relative to public and private sewer and water facilities. Salt water intrusion into private wells and excessive drawdown ofthe water table due to new development is of concern in waterfront communities. There is a general desire to have both public sewer and public water serve communities in the area. Uncertainty related to the future capacity of the Mayo WRF, including a moratorium on new service hookups during certain periods, has been an ongoing issue in this area, although the planned conversion of the Mayo WRF to a conventional treatment facility should address this problem. Groundwater contamination from the current wastewater treatment system has been another concern. Residents also feel that more frequent well water sampling is needed, especially after new wells are installed.
Some of the EdgewaterlMayo area is on private septic systems, including the communities of Southdown Shores and Edgewater Beach. Due to clay based soil, high water table and steep slopes, these areas are very difficult for the design ofindividual septic systems, however, in most cases it can be done. The Health Department promotes the care and maintenance of septic systems. Areas that have septic systems are surrounded by waterways and most homes have
71 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Utilities drinking wells. A key maintenance recommendation being promoted by the Health Department is to pump septic tanks every 3 to 5 years, with some needing pump out every two years depending on usage. Usage factors include the number ofhousehold members, washing machines and things ofthis nature.
Recommendations: 1.1 Upgrades to water reclamation facilities should be for improvements to the operations of the facilities and not for expansion to accommodate development beyond the system's design capacity.
1.2 Properly maintain Mayo sewer system to manage gray water.
1.3 In communities with failing septic systems and high nitrogen levels, promote public support for sewer installation.
72 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Community Facilities COMMUNITY FACILITIES
Existing community facilities in the EdgewaterlMayo planning area such as parks, schools, police and fire stations, and libraries, are shown on Map 16.
Recreation and Pari{S Within the EdgewaterlMayo Small Planning Area, major public park sites are located adjacent to Edgewater Elementary School, at the Londontown Public House and Gardens at the end ofLondontown Road, Loch Haven Park on Loch Haven Road, South River Farms Park at the end ofLoch Haven Road, Mayo Beach Park at the end ofHoneysuckle Drive and Beverly Triton Beach Park at the end ofthe Mayo peninsula.
Edgewater Park and Loch Haven Park are active, accessible recreation areas, Mayo Beach Park is an active recreation area accessible by permit only and Beverly Triton Beach Park and South River Farms Park are passive areas where access is allowed only by permit. The South River School complex also provides active recreation areas. Future plans for the Londontown Public House and Gardens include a Visitor Center and Archaeological Center. A master plan was recently completed for the Beverly Triton Beach Park. The master plan calls for shoreline restoration and installation ofoffshore breakwaters, some ofwhich have been completed. The park will be used for passive and active recreation uses, including canoeing and fishing along the water and ballfields and bike trails further to the west ofthe park. Improvements also include a nature center and picnic areas.
Initiation ofa master plan has begun for a 30~acre parcel located on MD 214 that will provide the Edgewater community with additional recreational resources such as ballfields. The project is known as Central Avenue Park. The first phase ofthe master plan will consist ofthe development of a master plan to define the scope ofthe project and its costs.
Immediately adjacent to the Planning Area is the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC). SERC provides a large area offorested open space used by the Smithsonian for environmental research. SERC also provides environmental education programs available to the community. Also, adjacent to the Planning Area is the Riva Area Park located on Riva Road near its intersection with MD 214. The Riva Area Park is currently under construction and is planned for active recreational uses, including ballfields. The park is expected to open in Fall 2002.
Issues Related to Parks and Recreation One ofthe greatest assets this area has to offer is the water. There are miles ofshoreline with waterfront homes, marinas, recreation and open space areas, all accessing tributaries ofthe Chesapeake Bay. Access, however, is limited.

facility. Additionally, most communities are private and the use ofthe beaches and facilities are for residents only. With the abundance ofpublic land, residents and committee members felt there should be more public access.
Other issues identified at forums included the poor condition ofthe tennis courts at the MCA hall and Edgewater Park. Residents expressed the need for a pool for the area. They also would like to see nature trails put in for use by the public. Ballfields are a major need for the area. Some expressed that pedestrian and bikeway links to parks are needed. Another concern was the lack ofyouth programs and a lack of adequate playgrounds.
Recommendations: 1. Design and construct a bikeway linking communities within the Edgewater and Mayo areas to parldands on the peninsula.
2. Provide off-road bikeways and pedestrian trails to popular destinations on the peninsula and vicinity, such as Beverly Triton Beach Park, South River Farms Park, Loch Haven Park, and Annapolis.
3. IdenttiY suitable locations for ball fields and other active and passive recreation facilities in the area.
4. Reinvest and maintain existing tennis courts and ball fields for use by the public.
Public Education The entire Edgewater/Mayo Small Area is served by the South River Senior High feeder system. The schools within this feeder system include South River Senior, Central Middle, Central Elementary, Davidsonville Elementary and Edgewater Elementary. The table below shows the current and ten-year projected enrollments and the utilization percentages for each of the affected schools. This information is based on the July 2001 Educational Facilities Master Plan. The South River Senior projected enrollment includes the students £i'om Crofton Meadows and Crofton Woods Elementary Schools.
There is a "baby boom bubble" currently going through the school system. Most students who are a part of the bubble are in elementary schools now, but will move on to the middle schools, then high schools. There will be a leveling offin about 10 to 15 years.
The Board of Education does not count the relocatables in the total enrollment capacity numbers. The State Capacity numbers used are for the school structure alone. If a new development would put more students in the school than capacity allows, the BOE recommends denial ofthe subdivision. The BOE is currently recommending denial ofnew subdivisions in the
75 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Community Facilities
Mayo Elementary School district. Previously approved subdivisions are included in the projected numbers. New schools andlor school additions are programmed into the County's Capital Improvement (CIP) program based on need. Davidsonville Elementary and Mayo Elementary are in the FY2002 CIP as replacement schools that will increase capacity. The new Davidsonville Elementary replacement school is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in September 2002. The new Mayo Elementary school site is currently being examined. After selection ofa location, completion ofconstruction documents, preparation ofbid documents, bidding, awarding ofbid and construction ofthe school will need to be completed.

Issues Related to Public Education The following education issues were identified at public fOlums and by committee members. It is felt that the local communities should do more to support public schools. Although many local residents feel that schools are relatively good, there is still a perception that the quality ofpublic education in some ofthe schools is not adequate. Pedestrian safety is a concern related to students. Students should be able to walk safely to the Central School Complex.. Some felt that school athletic fields should be made more available to the community. While overcrowding in area elementary schools has been an often voiced concern, the new Davidsonville and Mayo Elementary replacement schools will alleviate overcrowding.
Recommendations: 1. Install a pedestrian bridge over MO 214 at the South River School site, or implement other solutions to increase the safety for pedestrian crossings.
76 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Community Facilities
2. Provide a new Mayo Elementary School.
Public Safety There are four police districts that serve the needs of Anne Arundel County. The Southern District Police Station serves the Edgewater/Mayo Small Area Planning area and is located on MD 2 South just over the South River Bridge. The facility is 48 years old and there are plans to relocate this facility to Stepneys Lane. Design ofthis facility is completed and funds are programmed for constlUction. There is a proposal to redraw the police district lines and create a Central Police District in the future. Edgewater would then become the uppermost northern end of the Southern District.
The Southern District has eight beats that provide coverage 24 hours per day all year round. There are three overlap beats. A beat consists of five officers. Most ofthe patrolling is done by vehicle, however, in some areas the officers are on bicycles. Bicycle patrols are new to the Southern District and plans to expand are being considered. The bicycle program gives the officers an opportunity to get into the communities and communicate and interact with more citizens.
The police department maintains a helicopter program at Lee Airport. The helicopters are used for surveillance, tactical purposes, and for use with sobriety checkpoints. The use ofthese helicopters allows for quicker response.
The County has a memorandum ofunderstanding with the State that identifies areas of responsibility for the major thoroughfares. The County defers calls to the State Police for these routes, however, the County can also respond to these calls for service. In general, the State has full reign of coverage. In South County there are two State troopers assigned to cover the entire area and can respond to any call. If a caller to 911 specifically requests, a state trooper be dispatched it will be done.
Issues Related to Public Safety The following public safety issues relative to police service were identified at public fOlUms and by committee members. There was the feeling that crime was increasing (or that there was an increased need for police assistance), and there was the perception that crime is high in areas where it was previously low.
Recommendations: 1. Maintain a police presence in the area through the use ofvehicle and bicycle patrols.

FirelEMSlRescue Services The Woodland Beach Volunteer Fire Station (WBVFS) is the area's major fire rescue service. This station has a very active volunteer group for nights and weekends. The 1991 Fire Station Location Study identified the need for more fire stations in the County. The study recommended that the WBVFS be relocated to an area near the intersection ofMD 2 and MD 214. This was based on population projections and an average 2.5 mile response distance. The study recommended that a new station be built at the intersection ofMD 214 and Maryland Route 468. Neither of these recommendations is approved as capital projects at this time. The Riva Fire Station, on Riva Road, is the immediate back-up for WBVFS.
The Anne Arundel County Fire Department Water Supply Master Planning Project, Februruy 1995 concluded that Fire Station Number 2 (Woodland Beach VFS) can deliver only 52% ofthe "required fire flow" to extinguish a fire for structures, requiring the 5th largest fire flow in the EdgewaterlMayo area.
Water storage tanks are used in this area for fire suppression. The Department ofPublic Works is responsible for maintaining the tanks that exist now. The APF Ordinance requires them for new subdivisions. With the amount ofwater in and around the planning area, the fire department has been working on a legal agreement that homeowners can enter into which would allow a fire truck access to their property to drop a hose in the water.
Issues Related to Fire and Rescue Service The following public safety issues relative to fire services were identified at public forums and by committee members. An improved water system is needed for fire suppression. In addition, there is a concern that police and fire department response times are being impeded by traffic congestion, particularly along MD 2. There is a perception that more fire protection is needed. Some local roads where on-street parking is allowed become impassable for rescue vehicles such as fire trucks.
Goal: Adequate water supply should be available at all times for response to fire emergencies.
Recommendations: 1. Expedite completion of all recommendations in the Fire Department Water Supply Master Plan pertaining to EdgewaterlMayo.
2. Expedite execution ofFire Department master plan recommendations that require little capital expenditure, such as posting signs and adopting agreements.
3. Actively assist community associations in identifYing and assessing specific community water supply issues.
78 Edgewarer~~oSmanAroaPlan Community Facilities
4. Actively assist in the acquisition and installation ofunderground draft tanks for those communities so desiring.
5. Provide capital funding for the installation of community draft tan1(s.
6. Provide community assistance/funding for the installation of draft pipes at class A open water sources.
7. Construct shoulders on MD 214 southeast ofRoute 468 to allow for emergency vehicles.
Libraries There are 15 branches in the County library system. The Edgewater branch is used as a showcase library due to its architectural design. In order to comply with requirements handed down by the Fire Marshall's Office, a shed was installed to house heavy duty equipment. Recently an ADA station was installed in the library. Also, a new surveillance system and an upgrade to the security system were recently installed. This station has a large print monitor, is wheel chair accessible, and has a powerball (as opposed to a mouse) for greater ease ofuse by a physically challenged patron. In addition, a flower beautification project was completed by the girl scouts.
Some local residents feel that the library hours ofoperation are limited. The Edgewater branch is closed on Friday evening and on Sunday. Many people feel that the hours should be expanded.
Recommendations: 1. Expand the hours of operation ofthe Edgewater branch library.

EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Community Desigl} Community Design
Community design in the Edgewater/Mayo Small Area includes the image and unique features ofthe area, expressed in terms ofthe type and function ofresidential communities (urban, suburban enclaves, rural villages), the type and function of activity centers (shopping, employment, recreation, etc.), and the use and function ofsignificant public spaces (government, park, open space).
Residential Communities There are a variety of residential communities in EdgewaterlMayo. What most ofthese communities have in common is proximity to the water. Because the planning area is a peninsula, every community is within a short walk or drive from a nearby river or creek. Many residents have driveways for their boats as well as their cars. Marinas are also plentiful in the planning area, with clusters located in Beards Creek, the South River near MD 2, Glebe Creek, Pocahontas Creek, Turkey Point, Whitemarsh Creek, and Cadle Creek.
Older waterfront communities are located throughout the peninsula, from Edgewater Beach to Beverly Beach. These communities typically are developed with single family homes on one-half acre lots and larger. More compact communities are also located in the planning area, such as Woodland Beach, platted in the 1930's, and developed with an eclectic mix of single family homes on smaller lots, closer to one quarter acre in size.
Many of these communities were laid out in a grid or quasi-grid pattern and therefore have multiple points of access from a main road, to help collect and distribute traffic.
Newer communities, such as South River Landing and South River Colony, provide a different styles ofhousing than the typical detached homes found in older communities. South River Colony, fore example, is composed of a mix ofsingle family dwellings, townhouses and apartments.
All ofthese individual communities, for the most part, are separate from one another. There are few vehicular or pedestrian connections between communities, often because of boundaries formed by natural features such as streams and creeks.
Activity Centers There are several activity centers in the EdgewaterlMayo area. Activity centers include places where people go for goods and services, such as shopping centers, grocery stores, and marinas. They can also include recreation areas, beaches and parks, although these probably fit more into the category ofpublic spaces.
Activity centers in Edgewater include the Maryland Route 2 commercial strip, the Mayo
80 Edt;ewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Community Design
Road (MD 253) commercial area, the Pike Ridge Road commercial area along MD 214 and the South River Colony shopping center on MD 2.
In the Mayo area, commercial activity centers exist at the intersections of Mayo Road (Route 214) and Loch Haven Road and at the Mayo Road, Triton Beach Road and Cans Wharf Road area. These areas contain small convenience type commercial services.
One other commercial activity center in the planning area is along Riva Road near the Post Office and Fire Station. A small neighborhood convenience store is located in this area.
Each of these activity centers functions as a neighborhood or community shopping area. The Route 2 and Mayo Road centers serve the Edgewater and Woodland Beach area. The Pike Ridge commercial area provides some retail and office employment services in the area for nearby residents. The Riva, Loch Haven and Carl's Wharf centers are neighborhood and community centers serving their immediate communities in Mayo. The South River Colony shopping center serves this area as well as the larger region.
Public Spaces The most significant public spaces located in the EdgewateriMayo area are the Londontown Historic site at the end ofLondontown Road, the Lee Airport on Route 2 in Edgewater, the South River and Central School complex on MD 214 and the Beverly Triton Beach Park at the end ofthe Mayo peninsula.
These public spaces perform a variety offunctions, including tourism, recreation, and education. Most of these public spaces are far enough apart from one another that there is little spatial relationship between them. These public spaces do provide focal points and serve as landmark sites for the communities immediately adjacent to them and for the larger region.
Opportunity Areas The following areas ofEdgewaterlMayo were identified by the community design consultant, AIt Breeding Schwarz, as places where the application of design concepts, including streetscape treatment, landmark site identification, building facade improvements, and pedestrian circulation improvements, could improve the overall function and appearance of the area:
• Riva Road Community Center - provides local services and convenience shopping; opportunity to define entrance and parking in the area through landscaping or curb improvements; opportunity to connect different uses such as post office, fire station and small grocery store; opportunity to improve pedestrian connections to these uses and to nearby neighborhoods,
• MD 2 Commercial Revitalization - from the South River to Pike Ridge Road;
81 Edgewater/Mayo Small Area Plan Community Design
opportunity to provide gateway entrance to South County through the use of landscaping and improved signage; consolidation of entrances to businesses; connection ofinterior parking areas; encourage pedestrian movements at key intersections,
• Pike Ridge Village - triangle between MD 2, 214 and Pike Ridge Road; develop entrance gateway from MD 214 eastbound that could be landmark site or building; develop master plan for the triangle; clean up disjointed uses; improve connections to adjacent commercial and residential areas,
• Londontown Historic Area - improve access and visual gateway to historic area from Edgewater,
• Mayo Road Commercial Revitalization - enhance and improve "central business district" between Oakwood Road and Londontown Road/Stepneys Lane; unify streetscape with landscaping and on-street parking; create continuous storefront sidewalk relationship; create shared off-street side parking areas; promote development oflocal businesses; encourage village character with simple building design guidelines,
• Loch Haven Community Center - provides local services and convenience shopping; define specific limits to the area; provide pedestrian connections across intersections; unify character with simple building design guidelines,
• Carrs Wharf Community Center - provides local services and convenience shopping; define specific limits to the area; provide pedestrian connections across intersections; unify character with simple building design guidelines.
Mayo Road Commercial Area (Edgewater Pedestrian Village) The Mayo Road commercial area offers a significant opportunity for special economic development efforts. The area is comprised mostly ofsmall, locally owned businesses and services that cater to the local community,
The size, scale and local character ofthis area lend themselves to creating a pedestrian oriented shopping village. The area is also in a strategic location as the gateway to one of the County's most significant historic and archaeological sites, Londontown. As Londontown develops with reconstruction ofseveral buildings, and development of an archaeological learning center, the Edgewater Village could serve as an introductory gateway as well as an intercept parking site for Londontown visitors. Steps that should be taken to encourage revitalization of the area are:
82 EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Community Design
1. Create a community based non~profit redevelopment organization,
2. Develop design guidelines for facade renovations and new buildings,
3. Make infrastructure modifications and develop key "seed" projects: a. Sidewalk and streetscape improvements with curbside parking b. Create linked off-street parking on backside of commercial property c. Establish new commercial building lots, encouraging a continuous street facade d. Encourage key "seed" projects,
4. Complete infrastructure and add pedestrian movement enhancements. a. Encourage parking facilities as property becomes available. b. IdentifY site for Community Services Center or Visitor Center.

Adaptive Reuse adapting an older unused structure to accommodate a new use, such as adapting a vacant motel to a residential use or a warehouse to office/retail use
Affordable Housing housing that is available and affordable to households which earn at or below 80% ofthe median household income for the area and for which 30% ofincome is spent on housing costs (example: housing affordability for median household income of $52,400 would not exceed $1,048 per month (52,400 X .80 X .30)
Antiquated Lots lots that were created prior to 1952 that are smaller than current regulations require and which must be combined to form buildable lots
Best Management environmental protection measures applied to land development and Practices (BMP's) agriculture, involving state-of-the-art techniques for maintenance of water quality through effective sediment and erosion control and stonnwater management; also, practices designed to protect, manage and reduce the loss of soils, during periods ofland cover disturbance from erosive forces. BMPs are generally considered as those vegetative, physical or mechanical barriers which reduce erosive impacts caused by the elements. Success of BMPs are dependent upon how management design structures incorporate soil erodibility, vegetative cover, topography and climate
Brownfields contaminated or potentially contaminated and underutilized industrial and commercial sites whose cleanup costs and future liability make it unattractive to redevelop and reuse
Context Context is the sum total ofan environment and the relationship of each piece to the whole. The possible relationship of any piece to the whole spans a spectrum from identical through similar, different to uniquely contrasting.
Continuity G.ontinuity refers to the physical state or the perceptual quality ofbeing connected and coherent. A sense ofrelatedness is critical to our ability to understand a place since we can sense our relationship to the whole by understanding the pattern. A break in the pattern of continuity and its replacement with another pattern (moving fi.-om a neighborhood of single family detached houses to a landscape offarm fields) is readily evident and often the potential source ofpleasure. The lack or loss ofcontinuity can be very disorienting, leaving us unsure ofwhere we are and unclear about what is expected ofus. EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Glossary
Critical Area All wetlands and all land and water areas in the County within 1,000 feet from mean high tide or the edge oftidal waters.
This term compares the relationships between the various physical elements of a town; building size, a setback, land uses, street network, etc. to the physical relationships of a piece ofmateria1. One area may be referred to as having a seamless fabric implying that it is uninterrupted by a contrasting or intrusive element, while another area might be described as having had its "fabtic" ripped apart by such elements.
General a map that shows proposed land use in general terms and in general peyelopment Plan locations in the County and which is used as a guide for future land use Land Use Plan Map and zoning
the end toward which effort is directed
Greenbelt an area with natural features that is targeted for rural and low density development and has limited planned public infrastructure.. generally serving as a buffer between more intensively developed areas
Greenway a system of contiguous open space between communities or through stream valley park land, providing for footpaths or bikeways, passive recreation and wildlife corridors
Hierarchy Hierarchy is the grouping ofthings by order ofrank. Size, importance. Etc. In urban design the principle ofhierarchy is used to establish the relative importance ofplaces within the fabric of a community. It is one of several tools used to help order the world around us. For example, cores and centers are often characterized as having large or tall buildings or buildings ofgreater embellishment or more expensive material - all expressions of hierarchical order that allow us to understand and gain meaning from our environment.
!magt( Interchangeably used with sense of place and character, image refers to our perception of a place. A community can have a positive or a negative image or some ofboth.
Infi1l Lots buildable lots within existing subdivisions
Mass refers to the volumetric size of an object such as a building. Relative mass refers to the appearance of an object such as a building in proportion with its context. EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Glossary
Mixed Use a flexible approach to land use planning, combining a variety ofuses, including housing, employment, commercial and open space uses on a single development site or on adjacent sites within a designated area in accordance with a unified design
Moderately Priced housing units developed under governmental programs or private
Dwelling Units initiatives to assist families oflow or moderate income, which are sold or rented at a cost that does not exceed a maximum price or rental established by the County
Neotraditional Town area planning which emphasizes more traditional layout, Planning such as street grids, rather than curve1inear or cul-de-sac streets, with activity focused in common areas
Qyerlay Zone a superimposed zone with special options, standards and guidelines applied to a given area, over and above requirements ofthe underlying zoning district(s); provides additional control over the type and quality of new development or redevelopment, administrative flexibility and special incentives to achieve defined objectives (as in Town Center Growth Management areas, commercial conidor revitalization projects, historic preservation districts, and the Critical Area environmental overlay zone)
Pattern Similar to rhythm, pattern refers to the aggregate effect of the repetition of similar objects, similarly placed as in a pattern of development. Developing, preserving and enriching pattern is a primary design function ofurban design.
Planned Unit large area planning that allows mix ofuses, with flexible lot size and Development setbacks and integrated network ofroads and pathways for easy access
a definite course of action
Proportion Proportion is the relationship in size, quantity or degree of one part of an object or system to another. It expresses the relationship between elements, one to another, and of each to the whole. Buildings of similar proportions harmonize more readily with one another, essential to generating a common fabric for the community. Whole developments can and should be judged for their proportional fit with their sunoundings.
Residential Cluster large area planning which encourages grouping of dwelling units in Development clusters in order to preserve sensitive areas and open space
Rhythm Rhythm refers to the regular reoccunence of similar elements through time and space. An arcade is a classic example ofa rhythmic architectural element as is the experience ofwalking down a street lined with large shade EdgewaterlMayo Small Area Plan Glossary
trees spaced 30 feet apart. Rhythm is a powerful organizing tool and is useful in developing and maintaining a sense ofplace.
Scale is used interchangeably with proportion. The term human scale refers the proportions ofbuilding and places to the size and proportions of the human body. Traditional architecture, even monumentally large buildings, always referenced the scale ofthe individual both in its materials and in its proportions. Modern technology allowed the creation of scaleless buildings leading in turn to scaleless places. Understanding and creating places that respond to human scale is not surpt1singly proving to be critical to building successful communities.
Sequencing Sequencing refers to the various stages ofmovement and our perception of that movement through space. Included in sequencing are events such as: Approach, Boundary/Border, Gateway/Entrance, and Exit.
Sensitive Areas streams and their buffers, 100-year floodplains, habitats ofthreatened and endangered species, steep slopes, tidal and nontidal wetlands
Small Area Plans plans that are prepared for areas smaller than the entire County that may encompass defined areas such as communities or special planning areas
Smart Growth Smart growth is a way ofpreserving our remaining natural and environmental resources, protecting existing investments and saving taxpayers money by targeting fiscal resources where the infrastructure exists or is planned to exist, supporting more town-centered and transit oriented development and encouraging new development to occur in existing communities.
The space we live in can be numbing undifferentiated or richly imbued with variation and detail. Urban design is concerned with the presence and quality ofpublic spaces in particular including public streets, squares, plazas and parks. The care we expend on creating and maintaining public spaces directly effects our image of a place.
Streetscape Streetscape refers to our image ofthe entire space that starts at the front facade ofthe abutting buildings (often referred to as the street wall) and moves forward to include front yards, landscaping, street trees, signs, public utilities, sidewalks, curbs, parked and moving vehicles and finally, the street bed itself The arrangement and maintenance of each is critical to creating an overall sense oforder and harmony.
Architectural style is the total effect of mass, rhythm, scale materials, textures and decorative details. Neighborhoods of compatible, though not necessarily absolutely identical architecture styles, typically provide opportunity for sustaining a strong sense ofcommunity identity and place.

A Natural and Cultural Resources Existing Conditions Chesapeake Bay Critical Area In 1984, the Maryland General Assembly passed the Critical Area. Law in response to the environmental decline of the Chesapeake Bay. This law created a special planni.ng area enCDmpassing all wetlands, land, and water areas within 1000 feet ofthe landward boundaries of the mean bigh tide or the edge of tidal wetlands as designated on the State Tidal Wetland maps. The Critical Area Commission was also created to formulate protective criteria for the use and development of this area and to oversee the programs developed by local jurisdictions, which were required by the State law to develop their own Critical Area Programs based on the Co:rnmission's criteria. Anne Arundel County's Critical A.rea program was developed in 1988 to manage land use in these sensitive coastal areas. Pursuant to the State's criteria, the County designated three development categories within the Critical ..!\rea. The delineation ofthe development categories was based on the existing development and available public services as ofDecernber 1, 1985. Tne three categories are listed below. Intense Development Areas (IDAs): areas of20 or more contiguous acres where development predominates and where there is relatively little natural habitat. IDAs can be developed with high density housing, commercial or industrial uses, according to the underlying zorung designation. Limited Development Areas (LDAs): areas developed at low or moderate intensity. Additional development must not change the prevailing established Jand use, and must improve water quality and conserve areas of natural habitat. LDAs can be developed with medium density housing at a maximum of 4 units per acre, commercial and small industrial uses according to the underlying zoning designation. Resource Conservation Areas (RCAs): areas characterized by nature-dominated environments such as forests, wetlands, or agriculture. New residential development is l.imited to a density of one dwelling unit per 20 acres. WIthin the Critical Area, there is a lOa-foot wide minimum protected bu:ffer from tidal waters, streams and tidal wetlands. Developm~ in both the RCA and LDA designations also requires that impervious surfaces be limited to 15 to 25% ofthe site. Clearing offorested lands is limited. and there are specific requirements for reforestation. Moreover, development ofLDA or RCA lands that are not forested. includes a requirement to establish 15% ofthe site in forest. 17 Edr:ewater..J.\f(!1,!O Small Area Plan Natural and Cultural Resources !.- .!:; ;'"'\"" .-\..:-- ~ The Stare's criteria also required the County to designate Habitat Protection Areas (HP.o...s) v.ithin the Critical A.rea.. These include historic waterfowl staging and concentration are.aB, colonial water bird nesting sites, threatened and endangered species and species in need of conservation, anadromous fish spawning areas) e:xisti.ng riparian buffers, forested areas used by forest interior dwelling birds, nontidal wetlands, Natural Heritage Areas, and other areas oflocaI signi£cance. The Edgewaterl!viayo Planning Area covers approximately 7785 acres. Appro:rimately 55 percent of the land area lies within the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area, as shown in Map 1. AJmost 50 percent (2,253 acres) of the Critical Area is classified as LDA., based on its land u~ in 1985. Several Resource Conservation Areas totaling approxima:tely 1,979 acres are scattered through the area. The largest RCAs are along Beards Creek., Glebe Creek and Glebe Bay, Bear Neck Creek, and Beverly Triton Beach Park .•tv'ound 520 acres are designated as Intensely Developed Areas, the majority of wruch fall in the Londomown community. Forest Cover As of 1995 approximately 3,788 acres in the Edgewater/!vfayo area were forested, comprising nearly 44 percent of the total land area. The extent offorest cover contributes significantly to the area's character. Although much of the forest cover is fragmented into small patches) some large contiguous areas remain, especially nonh and south ofLoch Haven Road., around Beverly Triton Beach Park, and in and north of Camp Letts. Existing regulations limit clearing and cutting of trees both inside and outside the Critical Area. However, forest loss and fragmentation does occu.r as a result of development, especially outside the lOO-foot Critical Area Buffer. The County administers a Forest Conservation Program in accordance with the requirements of the State Forest Comen,ation Act. Under this program, development proposals submitted to the County for approval must include a Forest Conservation Plan which identifies and classifies wooded areas on the site and establishes limits of disturbance and areas afforest retention. The Forest Conservation Ordinance specmes conservation and afforestation thresholds according to the type and density ofland use. Development plans that propose clearing of existing forested areas must retain at least this mjl1in)lllU threshold, or else the developer will be required to reforest portions ofthe site or, as a less desirable alternative, to reforest areas offsite. Ifa developer can demoostrate that reforestation on or o~te cannot be reasonably accomplished, a fee in lieu may be paid to the County's Forest Conservation Fund, to be us~d by the County in reforesting sites as they become available. Streams and Water Quality A watershed is an area of land that is drained by a single stream or other body ofwater. Most of north and east EdgewaterlMayo lies within the South River watershed, while the south and southwest portions lie in the Rhode River watershed. Most streams in Edgewa:terlMayo are short, 'With small drainage areas that flow to the bays and creeks along the South and Rhode 18 MAP 3 EDGEWATER/MAYO SMALL PLANNlNG AREA SURWA'fEHS]-IFT)S Comprehensive Zoning Applications Edgewater J Mayo Small Area Plan GroU!!
