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=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>27427-2012-0 (Addition, Interior Alterations to Existing Building) on 9/4/2012<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>27427-2012-1 (Revise Mechanical, Electrical, and Fire Permit) on 11/13/2012<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>37675-2012-0 (Site Concept) on 12/4/2012<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><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><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The applicant also was also informed that even for permitted uses there was a series of required documents that they had not produced including all relevant building and site plan information necessary to show compliance.
