Bank parking lot rejected after flood scare
Frederick County National Bank lost its bid to build a 10 car gravel parking lot in a flood plain when the City Board of Aldermen rejected the proposal by a 4-1 vote after floodwaters from Oct 9. The Planning Commission had previously rejected the plan and urged no change. Alderman DeLauter supported the parking lot, saying residents were overreacting to the flood. The board left the issue dead, with the Planning Commission's stance reaffirmed.
