Zoning Testimony Concludes In Frederick Appeals
Testimony closed before a court appointed commissioner in two zoning appeals over 50 apartment units planned by Alton Homes and Stuart Bainum in north Frederick. The commissioner will submit findings on property valuations and traffic hazards as 150 residents object. Capt. Magaha testified traffic on Motter avenue and 14th street would rise with the development, and a proposed cut off road could funnel more traffic past the Motter–14th intersection, heightening hazards.
