Myersville Comprehensive Plan Page 1-2 Overview The Myersville Comprehensive Plan (the Plan) is an official public document prepared by the Myersville Planning Commission and adopted by the Myersville Planning Commission and the Mayor and Council of Myersville. The Plan is a long-range guide for land use, transportation, public facilities and sensitive area protection. It will provide direction and guidance for public policy and decision making for the Town over the next 20 years. The Comprehensive Plan is the premise for review of development proposals, rezoning, annexations and public works projects. The Myersville Comprehensive Plan is not a development ordinance but rather an instrument that provides direction for revision of existing ordinances and for establishing new ordinances. The Comprehensive Plan provides the framework for making consistent decisions. The Plan gives succeeding administrations a better idea of what values have been voiced and institutionalized through the public planning process. A Comprehensive Plan is valuable to the staff planners, the Town Planning Commission, the elected officials, and the citizens. The planners and Planning Commission use the plan to evaluate land use proposals, make recommendations and to advise property owners about appropriate areas for development. The elected officials use the plan to make decisions, which are consistent with an adopted course of action and to make progress on issues, which are identified as needing action. The citizens can use the Plan to judge the decisions of the planners and elected officials and to gauge the progress made in important areas of concern. Another purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to coordinate planning activities with other levels of government and regional planning agencies. State of Maryland Background and Requirements The State of Maryland, through the Maryland Economic Growth, Resource Protection and Planning Act of 1992, requires plans to be updated at specified intervals and to include elements in the plan which will follow the eight (8) visions which were prepared in the wake of 1987 Chesapeake Bay agreement. The eight visions, which are stated in the Act, are as follows: EIGHT VISIONS FOR MARYLAND 1. Development is concentrated in suitable areas, 2. Sensitive areas are protected, 3. In rural areas, growth is directed to existing population centers and resource areas are protected, 4. Stewardship of the Chesapeake Bay and the land is a universal ethic, 5. Conservation of resources, including a reduction in resource consumption, is practiced, 6. To assure the achievement of 1 through 5 above, economic growth is encouraged and regulatory mechanisms are streamlined, 7. Adequate Public Facilities and Infrastructure under the control of the County or Municipal Corporation are available or planned in areas where growth is to occur*, and 8. Funding mechanisms are addressed to achieve these visions Myersville Comprehensive Plan Page 1-3 * Does not apply to plans, ordinances or policies enacted or amended before October 1, 2000. In addition, as further statewide legislation is adopted that dictate additional requirements for Comprehensive Plans, the Myersville Comprehensive Plan will endeavor to include them. On October 1, 2006, the Maryland General Assembly enacted legislation that affects the laws governing municipal annexation and the makeup of municipal and county comprehensive plans. HB 1141, Land Use-Local Government Planning, amends Articles 23A and 66B, Annotated Code of Maryland. It created new responsibilities for municipalities and counties related to annexations, and established new mandatory elements in all municipal and county comprehensive plans, the provisions of which take effect on October 1, 2009. A few of the legislation’s key components are listed below. 1. Every municipal comprehensive plan must have a Municipal Growth Element and annexations must be consistent with these elements. 2. All municipal and county comprehensive plans must have a Water Resource Element. 3. Sensitive Areas Elements must address agricultural and forestlands intended for resource protection or conservation as well as wetlands. A. Twelve Visions of State Planning History and Visions for Planning The Twelve Visions are the foundation of state growth policy, existing Smart Growth programs and offer an important measure for implementing these visions. The Twelve Visions represent broad state policy goals that each municipality will strive towards by implementing its own sound planning and growth policies. The Town of Sykesville has always considered these visions in its previous Master Plan updates and land use policies and has addressed each of the new visions through policy recommendations in the respective chapters of the Master Plan. 1. Quality of Life and Sustainability: A high quality of life is achieved through universal stewardship of the land, water and air resulting in sustainable communities and protection of the environment. 2. Public Participation: Citizens are active partners in the planning and implementation of community initiatives and are sensitive to their responsibilities in achieving community goals. 3. Growth Areas: Growth is concentrated in existing population and business centers, growth areas adjacent to these centers, or strategically selected new centers. 4. Community Design: Compact, mixed-use, walkable design consistent with existing community character and located near transit options is encouraged to ensure efficient use of land and transportation resources and preservation and enhancement of natural systems, open spaces, recreational areas, and historical, cultural, and archeological resources. 5. Infrastructure: Growth areas have the water resources and infrastructure to accommodate population and business expansion in an orderly, efficient, and environmentally sound manner. Myersville Comprehensive Plan Page 1-4 6. Transportation: A well-maintained, multimodal transportation system facilitates the safe, convenient, affordable and efficient movement of people, goods and services within and between population and business centers. 7. Housing: A range of housing densities, types, and sizes provide residential options for citizens of all ages and incomes. 8. Economic Development: Economic development that promotes employment opportunities for all income levels within the capacity of the State's natural resources, public services, and public facilities is encouraged. 9. Environmental Protection: Land and water resources, including the Chesapeake Bay and it’s coastal bays, are carefully managed to restore and maintain healthy air and water, natural systems and living resources. 10. Resource Conservation: Waterways, open space, natural systems, scenic areas, forests and agricultural areas are conserved. 11. Stewardship: Government, business entities, and residents are responsible for the creation of sustainable communities by collaborating to balance efficient growth with resource protection. 12. Implementation: Strategies, policies, programs and funding for growth and development, resource conservation, infrastructure, and transportation are integrated across the local, regional, State and interstate levels to achieve these visions. Local and Regional Coordination The Plan provides the vehicle for equally important coordination with County planning efforts since much of the public facility planning is controlled at the County level. Coordination with Town plans will enable the County to attempt to provide public facilities sufficient to meet the needs of the populace. Myersville History The location and history of Myersville are important to the community and therefore must be considered in the context of planning. Regional Location and Context Myersville is located on a ridge in the foothills of South Mountain in western Frederick County, Maryland, just 14 miles south of the Pennsylvania state line, seven miles west of Frederick City and ten miles east of Hagerstown. Interstate 70 and U.S. Route 40 run thru the Town from southeast to northwest and Maryland Route 17 runs north and south. Catoctin Creek also traverses the eastern border of the Town flowing south to the Potomac River, which is twenty-two miles downstream.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database. In addition, for landscapes that are not currently listed on the National Register and/or do not have adequate documentation, concurrence is required from the State Historic Preservation Officer or the Keeper of the National Register. The CLI, like the List of Classified Structures, assists the NPS in its efforts to fulfill the identification and management requirements associated with Section 110(a) of the National Historic Preservation Act, National Park Service Management Policies (2006), and Director’s Order #28: Cultural Resource Management.

  • Chapter 7 WATER RESOURCES ELEMENT
    Middletown Burgess & Commissioners Approved – 3/8/2010 Chapter 7 WATER RESOURCES ELEMENT Purpose The purpose of this plan element is to coordinate the Town of Middletown’s land use and water resources planning efforts. The plan is organized around the following three components: drinking water; wastewater; and stormwater. Included within those components are discussions of the watershed resources of the Town; the quality and quantity of drinking water supplies with respect to planned growth; the treatment capacity of wastewater treatment facilities and disposal of treated effluent; a review of Frederick County’s stormwater management and non-point source pollution programs; and recommendations for environmentally sound land and water management practices that contribute towards the health and sustainability of our major watershed system and our residents. This water resources element was prepared to serve as the Town’s Water Resources Element mandated through House Bill 1141 by the Maryland State Legislature in 2006. This plan is required to be submitted to the Maryland Department’s of Planning and Environment for review in 2009. Water Resources Goals Achieving the Town’s water resources goals will take a coordinated effort by its citizens, the town’s government, and its businesses. Each has a role to play in protecting the Town’s water resources for future generations. The overarching goals for the Town of Middletown’s water resources are: 1. Maintain a safe, secure and adequate drinking water supply to accommodate the needs of the current population as well as future generations. 2. Protect and enhance the quality of the Town of Middletown’s surface waters, ground water resources, and wetlands, with the goal of exceeding all environmental regulatory requirements.

  • A Historic Context for the Archaeology of Industrial Labor in the State Of
    A Historic Context for the Archaeology of Industrial Labor in the State of Maryland Robert C. Chidester Masters of Applied Anthropology Program Department of Anthropology University of Maryland at College Park Submitted to the Maryland Historical Trust In Partial Fulfillment of a Maryland Heritage Internship Grant December 2003 Revised Version, March 2004 Abstract This report presents a historic context for industrial labor in the state of Maryland. Industrial labor is defined as the socially-governed activity of transforming nature for the purpose of the efficient processing and manufacture of commercial goods. Labor’s heritage as represented in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties, the Maryland Archaeological Site Records, and selected secondary sources is surveyed following the geographical and chronological guidelines presented in the Maryland Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan (Weissman 1986). Types of industry and labor, class relations, the labor movement and the social and domestic lives of industrial laborers are all considered; additionally, industrialization in Maryland is linked to other important themes in the state’s history. An overview of the archaeology of industrial labor is given for each of Maryland’s 23 counties and Baltimore City, emphasizing important excavations. An analysis of the state of labor archaeology in Maryland is given, along with suggestions for important research themes that have been thus far unaddressed or poorly addressed by Maryland archaeologists. i Table of Contents Abstract.....................................................................................i
