City approves flood plain gravel parking lot by 2 vote
The Board of Aldermen voted two to none to allow a gravel 10 car parking lot in a flood plain at the corner of Shookstown Road and Rosemont Avenue. The Frederick County National Bank proposal, previously rejected by the Planning Commission, faced objections from City Engineer Michael E. Pue Jr. over flood risk and precedent. Attorney Glenn C. Michel urged amending the ordinance for conditional use or case by case review, noting the site sits idle much of the year. The measure remains tied to further consideration by the Board of Appeals and other officials.
