[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Then, the county used money from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund to develop Rock Creek Hills Park. Whenever those funds are used to acquire or develop a park, that land can then never be transformed to non-park use without providing land of equivalent recreational value to the community.

Kensington, please stop spreading inaccurate info. The County has reclaim rights, over and done. The only party that disputes this at present is the neighborhood organization. This is getting tiresome. [/quote]

I think you're right.  MCPS has decided the matter and is moving forward. That decision, however, does not eliminate the issue in future litigation after MCPS selects the site (and yes, after a feasibility study and the haphazard application of unweighted criteria, it's clear that it is selecting the site).  DNR, as the agency charged with enforcing the POS law, clearly has discretion to implement the statute.  It cannot do so, however, in contravention of the statute's express terms.

The bottom line is that I, too, don't understand why people are arguing this issue in this forum.  It's like arguing which horse is going to win the Kentucky Derby.  When the site is selected, and litigation ensues, the matter will be decided in court.
