[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we maybe need to get some facts straight.

This proposal would allow up to four residences to be built on a lot where just one residence is allowed.  This would mean that an individual or a developer could purchase a SFH lot when it becomes available and build what amounts to a small set of townhomes.  This ASSUMES that all existing setback and other lot coverage rules are maintained.

It is ALREADY allowed to have accessory dwelling units on a SFH property, either detached or attached.  So already you can have multiple families on a lot.

These individual buildings will be relatively expensive.  We are not talking about large apartment blocks with rent-capped units...but townhomes.  Taxes will be paid.

The valid issues to be addressed are parking and school capacity.  Everything else is catastrophizing.[/quote]

But will the developer (and the planning board) get their fair share of the proceeds? [/quote]

Maryland law makes it practically impossible to create an HOA for very small unit developments. Almost all of these quadplex units will be rentals. They won’t provide ownership opportunities for people. [/quote]
