In 2002, the City established the Water and Sewer Allocation System to make certain that adequate treatment capacity for potable water and wastewater is in place for new growth prior to approval. In 2012, Ordinance G-12-13 was adopted which updated the allocation process and combined it with it the Impact Fees payable for water and sewer service. The City adopted an Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO) in 2007 that allows development to proceed only after it has been demonstrated that sufficient infrastructure exists or will be created in the water and wastewater systems.

BRIAND, ET AL : ...o0o... MEMORANDUM Plaintiff, Lise Linton, instituted this suit in Frederick County Circuit Court with her husband, David Linton, claiming negligence and loss of consortium arising out of a car accident that occurred on August 10, 2003 on Maryland Route 140 in Frederick County, Maryland. The Lintons sued Michael Briand (“Briand”), the driver of the automobile, Donita Rockwell (“Rockwell”), Briand’s girlfriend and passenger in the car, and their own insurance company, Progressive Casualty Insurance Company (“Progressive”). The defendants removed the case to this court based on diversity jurisdiction. In an amended complaint, David Linton was dismissed as a plaintiff and named as a defendant. Due to her physical and emotional injuries, Lise Linton sued the defendants for $1,500,000 in compensatory damages, plus interest and costs of the suit. Both David Linton and Progressive filed a cross-claim against Briand and Rockwell for contribution and indemnification. Now pending before the court is defendant Rockwell’s motion for summary judgment as to all claims, cross-claims, and third party claims. This matter has been fully briefed and no hearing is necessary. See Local Rule 105.6. For the reasons stated below, Rockwell’s motion will be granted.
