Subdivision Reaching A Deadline

Since then there is a new owner of the property who is interested n continuing with the development of the property. Other necessary letters of no objection have been provided by McDOT and the Health Department. However, the stormwater Engineer found several issues that need attention before a letter of not objection can be issued. Updates to the County Stormwater Management Ordinance in the intervening years require significant changes to the proposed plat. If another one-year extension is granted it is necessary that it be met or the subdivision file could be terminated...
