Dear GHCA Members and Friends:
PLEASE TAKE NOTE
An important Pre-submission Zoning Meeting will take place at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church on Tuesday, July 30 at 6:00PM. Here is the link to the announcement:
As you will read, the petitioners are seeking a Conditional Use for an “Outdoor Athletic Facility” on their property. Local sources say they have apparently installed a paved racetrack/raceway on their land without permits from Howard County. This has not been independently confirmed, but neighbors have witnessed asphalt trucks entering and leaving the subject property. Now, after the fact, they appear to be seeking approval.
We strongly encourage as many of you to attend this meeting as possible in order to learn more about the petitioners’ plans and what effect they may have on the local quality of life.
As was brought home clearly to the community recently: once granted, a Conditional Use remains attached to the property, not the ownership. This can lead to unexpected consequences for the community.
We hope to see you on July 30.
