Planners back Schley Farm annexation near Frederick
Frederick Planning Commission approved a 124 acre Schley Farm annexation request citing conformity with the city plan. Five commissioners supported the proposal with Alderman Sally Murphy abstaining, endorsing 130 dwellings on 26 acres adjacent to Monocacy Village and related developments. The Schley property is identified for annexation and development in the plan, with the land owned by the Schley family for over 160 years and proposed to be rezoned with flexibility for future use. A 43 acre proposal detailed by attorney Seymour Stern aims to avoid a bowling alley style project while focusing on housing numbers. The county staff had recommended annexation approval pending further details.
