Months after the county planning commission rejected a proposal to place a mixed
use commerical project on 14 acres of disused farm land in Hollywood the developer
has filed an action with the countys Board
of Appeals to reconsider the ruling.
The hearing is scheduled for June 9.
The project, called the Hollywood Commercial Center, would sit at the north bound
corner of the intersection of Route 235 and
Sotterley Road and would eventually include a CVS Pharmacy, a commercial site
that could be large gas station and another
retail element, according to planners.
The project, to be built out over three
phases, would be located on an old farm
plot and is expected to generate almost
13,000 vehicle trips a day.
The plan calls for entrances at Route
235, Route 245 and Old Three Notch Road
which runs roughly parallel to Route 235.
The planning commissions main point
of contention against the plan was not so
much with the project but with the traffic
plan.
The Commissioners of St. Marys County approved a land easement Tuesday for
a new water tower in Charlotte Hall with
some assurances from the Metropolitan
Commission (MetCom) that it would only
be used to provide more water for fire suppression in the northern end of the county
for the near future.
Civic association leaders and residents
have been worried that an additional water tower would be a harbinger of increased
residential growth before the county
could complete a town center plan for
Charlotte Hall that would strictly control
construction.
The promulgation of a plan, the first of
its kind for Charlotte Hall, has become a
greater issue for county commissioners,
especially since traffic problems on Route
5 in North County have continued to grow
worse.
These traffic problems for a time meant
there was nearly a defacto moratorium on
development in Charlotte Hall.
Commissioner John OConnor, was particularly concerned that MetCom Executive Director Scott Bundy give assurances
about the present purpose of the water
tower.
The water tower is a real point of contention in the northern part of the county,
OConnor said.
We have no intentions right now to
put mains [main water lines] in under the
road, Bundy said, apparently satisfying
commissioners.
Thats the openness I was looking for,
OConnor said. Theres no veiled secrecy
here.
Bundy told commissioners that it would
be about a year before the water tower, slated to be constructed just off of Route 235.
Commissioner Mike Hewitt said he believed that both projects could be completed concurrently.
Hopefully by then well have this plan
done, Hewitt said.
Commissioner Tom Jarboe said it was
important to understand that the water
tower would be used to help further growth
in North County some time in the future.
To say its only going to be used for fire
suppression is a bit disingenuous, Jarboe
said. That growth wont occur until the
plan is complete.

the property that were leaking as well as replace heating and air conditioning systems.
That was a one-time thing, Butt said.
That wont happen again.
Butt continued by saying that the association has developed a five-year business
plan to make the museum self-sufficient after receiving help from the county; one of
the key components of which is to reduce
its energy consumption.
Mainly its keeping both buildings energy efficient, Butt said, adding that energy useage was the museum propertys
biggest expense.
He estimated that between the two buildings the electricity cost alone was between
$60,000 to $80,000 a year.
But with just over 300 members and
revenues coming in from admissions, donations and historical preservation grants
from the state, he said he was confidant the
association could make the museum viable.
We are absolutely committed to this,
Butt said. Our intention is not to go back
to the county for money, ever.
At the commissioner meeting Commissioner Mike Hewitt questioned Butt about
the museums finances.
Hewitt served on the association board
before being elected to the commissioner
seat.
Weve been a little concerned about
funding, Hewitt said, asking if the musuem had enough funding on hand.
Were paying the bills, Butt answered.
Were doing fairly well.
We have money in the bank.

Were running out of growing days.
In his 42 years of farming he has never
seen these kinds of conditions.
Ive never seen it this wet here, he said.
His latest corn crop is sprouting above
ground just a few inches, while other plants
are still underwater in other places.
That corn should be at least two feet
tall, Bowles said as he looked out over his
fields.
His farms are not the only ones to feel
the pressure of all the rain as other farmers from around the county have reported
similar problems.
It hurts everybody, Bowles said.
Were all in the same boat.
Corn and soybeans are
among the chief crops of
county farmers as they are
often sold on the Eastern
Shore as feed for the poultry industry.
The produce is sold to
other industries around
the nation as well as animal feed.
Being the most profitable, they are also the
most in danger, Bowles
said.

The Maryland State Board of Education today selected Dr. Karen B. Salmon
as the States next State Superintendent of
Schools, effective July 1.
Dr. Salmon will begin serving as Acting Superintendent on June 1, and take the
helm as State Superintendent one month
later. She will succeed Interim State
Superintendent Jack Smith, who earlier
this year was named the next Superintendent of the Montgomery County Public
Schools.
The State Board voted unanimously to
elevate Dr. Salmon to the State Superintendent position, pending final contract
negotiations.
I am committed to collaborating with
all of our stakeholders to ensure a worldclass education for every Maryland public
school student, Dr. Salmon said. I want
to build on Marylands past accomplishments, streamline programs at the Maryland State Department of Education, and
articulate a shared vision for educational
excellence.
State Board President Guffrie M.
Smith, Jr., said Dr. Salmon comes to the
position well prepared to lead the States
system to continued improvement.
Dr. Salmon knows our State, understands our challenges, and has a track
record of developing effective solutions
to educational issues through collaboration, Mr. Smith said. The Board looks
forward with great confidence to working alongside Dr. Salmon as we move our
schools and our students toward new levels of success.
Dr. Salmon has spent the vast majority
of her career in Maryland public education. She joined the Maryland State Department of Education last August as Assistant State Superintendent for College
and Career Readiness before taking over
as Interim Deputy Superintendent for
School Effectiveness earlier this year.
Prior to joining the MSDE staff, Dr.
Salmon served as Superintendent of the
Bay Shore Union Free School District in
2016
