If the property owner is attempting to obtain permits to open a
Donut Shop on this property, why is there Mayor and Council of
Riverdale Park planning to introduce an Ordinance on Monday night
to condemn and seize the property. It does not make sense.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">To address a couple of comments on this
property:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The CSX crossing negotiations are
continuing and the bridge will happen or the Cafritz project
does not move forward. One of the primary reasons the
developer of Cafritz withdrew and is resubmitting is that they
ran out of time to satisfy mandatory conditions (of which the
bridge is a key element). The traffic and transportation
studies indicate increases due to the Cafritz build-out are
primarily at points on E-W Highway and North (Route 1 and
Kenilworth). This proposed ordinance has been discussed over
the last two years and three resolutions were passed to this
end: 2011-R-24, 2011-R-27, and 2012-R-17. I am completely
unclear as to why this is now being linked with
traffic/transportation issues – especially as they pertain to
other projects a mile up the road. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Audrey, however, brings up a valid
discussion point that requires some additional background
information. According to DER records there were three
permits filed on this property over the last 6 months:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Site Concept plan that was filed for on
12/4/2012 was for a convenience store not a Donut Store or
other Quick Service Restaurant (i.e. Dunkin Donuts). The
presentation made to DER at the time preliminary permits were
applied for did not contemplate a coffee shop or donut store;
all evaluations were done on a convenience store alone. It is
unclear what the applicant’s true intent is at this point.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A presentation was made to the RPBA on
1/9/2013 at which time it was communicated that the permits
were mostly signed off. PG County DER cannot sign off on any
permits without M-U-TC review which has not happened. The
applicant presented their thoughts to the M-U-TC committee and
a liaison from Park and Planning on 2/6/2013. At that time it
was disclosed by the applicant that they intended on a Dunkin
Donuts at that site. Park and Planning at that time indicated
that this was the first official notice that they had received
that the applicant’s intent for the property was not for the
use applied for in fall/winter 2012. They also informed the
applicant that under Section 27-547 a Dunkin Donuts is not a
permitted use and only allowable with an approval of a Special
Exception in accordance with Part 4 of that Subtitle. <o:p></o:p></p>
