Subdivision regulation aims to speed city approvals
Frederick plans a 60 page subdivision code to speed small lot approvals, tighten storm water rules, and control street entrances. The draft, reviewed by the Board of Aldermen after public hearings, would require public funds to be covered by prior contracts and seeks clearer, more practical provisions. The mayor and board sent the draft back to Planning Commission for further study of guarantee methods before final development permitting.

C&P rate hike denied by Maryland PSC
The Maryland State Public Service Commission rejected Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co of Maryland's 10.7 million annual rate increase. The firm promised to file another rate case soon, likely by month’s end, and declined to appeal the decision. The denial follows a past PSC decision that cut basic service boosts and granted a smaller overall increase funded by higher installation and related charges. The utility serves Allegany, Washington, Garrett, Frederick and western Montgomery counties.

Maryland agency approves firehouse site in non flood plain
The Maryland Water Resources Administration ruled the proposed Firehouse site at the former Howard Stop property and its driveway to Baughman Lane are not in a regulatory flood plain, clearing the City of Frederick to relocate the Independent Hose Company. Mayor Ronald N. Young announced planning would proceed, while opposition lawyers indicated possible court action on the referendum petition. The agency said no fill permit is required for the two acre site as it lies above the 50 year flood plain, and construction could proceed, with no hearing needed for the fill request.
