Derrick's Addition
Background
Derrick's Addition is planned
for the northeast corner of the
New Hampshire Avenue and Route
108 intersection in Ashton,
where the Freestate gas
station and Kimball's
Servicenter were located.
It will feature a gas station,
convenience store, a
retail store, and
offices. SSARPC's concern is that the
design maintain the rural
character of the area, as
outlined in the
Sandy Spring-Ashton Master Plan,
and that it be compatible with
the design of Aston
Meeting Place, across
the street and being
built by the same
developer.
Derrick's Addition
(Northeast Corner)
February 21, 2008
Derrick’s Addition is
planned for the lot on
the northeast corner of
the intersection of
Route 108 and New
Hampshire Avenue, where
the Freestate gas
station and Kimball’s
Servicenter were. The
original design included
a gas station, a car
wash, convenience store
and a commercial
building. The car wash
has been eliminated
since the zoning does
not allow for it.
The gas station
design now has five gas
pumps (reduced from
six), two cars per pump.
The convenience store
will be attached with a
roof to the gas pump
area. The convenience
store will now have an
entrance from New
Hampshire Avenue, making
it an active store front
on the street, as called
for in the Sandy
Spring-Ashton Master
Plan. The lighting will
be low intensity will
use cutoff fixtures
which are the types that
cause less light
pollution than other
types. There will be
landscaping partially
blocking the view of the
gas pumps from Route
108.
The design has a
commercial building
north of the gas station
located in the middle of
the parking lot. This
is not an active store
front on the street and
so is not in conformance
with the Sandy
Spring-Ashton Master
Plan. The SSARPC
Steering Committee has
proposed an alternative
design that brings the
building to the street
so that it is in
conformance with the
Master Plan, but the
developer has rejected
it.

County Park and Planning before the
developers can submit their plans
for consideration.
