June 28, 2007 Planning Staff Report Online

 

Late Monday the Montgomery County Planning Department of the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission (MNCPPC) made public the staff report on Ashton Meeting Place (AMP).   The staff report finds AMP to be non-compliant in the areas of

  • Zoning Requirements

  • Sandy Spring-Ashton Master Plan
  • Subdivision Regulations
  • Encroachment into wetlands, wetland buffers, and stream valley buffers
  • The locations of buildings, structures, and pedestrian and vehicular circulation systems not adequately safe and efficient

 

The full Staff Report is available here.  It is a very large set of scanned documents and has been found difficult to print by many people.   The MNCPPC web site offers some tips to help with printing.

In order to help those who have trouble with printing or perhaps do not with to read the entire document, we have extracted the Executive Summary, pages 1-18, Appendix F (Environment), and the Staff Recommendations.

The documents are all PDF files.  If you do not have Adobe Reader 8, you should obtain it here.

If you need assistance, write to help@ssarpc.org.

Some files are PDF format.  Adobe Reader is needed to read them.
