[RP TownTalk] M-U-TC Committee meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2008

[Alan Thompson and Sarah Wayland]

The Mixed-Use Town Center (M-U-TC) Architectural Review committee will meet 
tomorrow ("today" by the time most of you see this note) in Town Hall, 5008 
Queensbury Road, at 7:30 pm.

There are two items on the agenda.

The first is to finalize approval of work on many of the properties in the 
historic core of Riverdale Park's town center owned by Douglas Development. 
Much of this work was completed under a permit issued before the M-U-TC 
zoning was in place, but a renewal request on the permit triggered M-U-TC 
review in June.  The committee approved the plan in June, finding that it met 
all applicable mandatory technical standards, but the plans were not stamped 
and signed at that meeting.  Dineene O'Connor (staff liaison with the Maryland 
National Capital Park and Planning Commission) will provide answers to a few 
questions raised by committee members regarding the plans approved in June.

The second agenda item is to consider an application to approve an 
already-constructed deck attached to the S&J Tavern at 6108 Rhode Island 
Avenue.  Because of the size (square footage) of the deck in comparison to 
the size of the tavern, a review of the entire site (not just the deck) must 
be performed.

Members of the public are welcome at the meeting.
