I can cue.

Good evening, Rockville.

Welcome to meeting number 12 25 of the Rockville Planning Commission.

My name is Shion Solhidina.

I'm a commissioner filling in today as chair.

As our regular chair, Jamie Espinosa is out today.

We're joined, uh, we're doing this all virtually today.

Um, and so we're joined online today by uh Commissioner Susan Pittman, Commissioner Eric Fulton, and Commissioner Mengsun.

Um and as usual, this is being broadcast uh via this webcast as well as on Rockville Channel 11.

Uh nobody hopefully is in chambers today waiting for us to show up because that's not going to happen.

Um this should be a pretty quick one.

Uh we have a single item on the uh review and action list, and that is the final record plat for application plt 2025-00643.

And then that'll be uh followed by our regular slate of commission related items.

Um with that, I will uh turn it over to Mr.

Wazilak to take us through our very first uh our first and only uh review and action item, and that is final record plat application PLT 2025-00643 to resubdivide lot to block A of the City Center Subdivision as lot three, block A to allow for redevelopment and dedication of a public right of way located in the MXNC that is mixed use neighborhood commercial zone at 622 Hungerford Drive.

Mr.

Wazlack.

Uh thank you, Mr.

Chair and members of the commission.

Uh, this is a final record plat that will uh implement a site plan that you approved earlier this year for the redevelopment of 622 Hungerford Drive.

And this evening we have uh senior planner Christopher Davis to make the staff presentation after I swear him in.

Mr.

Davis, uh, will you identify ourselves for the record?

Yes, Christopher Davis with community planning development services.

And will you provide truthful testimony this evening?

I will.

Thanks.

Please proceed.

Okay.

Can everyone see the presentation?

Okay, great.

So as Mr.

Wasserlect indicated, this is a final record plat application, PLT 2025 00643.

So the subject property is outlined in black on the screen at 622 Hunger for Drive.

Um, it the property has a land use designation of office commercial residential mix and a zoning uh classification of mixed tease neighborhood commercial.

The property is approximately 2.15 acres in size, and the property has existed as an office uh with surrounding surface parking uses.

As Mr.

Rosswight indicated, this project did come before the planning commission earlier this year in February, where the commission did approve a level two site plan for the subject redevelopment.

Uh the property was approved for a residential condominium uh development of 48 2 over 2 townhouse style units.

Um, and so the applicant has brought forth this record plat to implement uh the necessary uh uh steps for that development.

So you can see the proposed record plat on the screen uh to the right.

Uh so specifically the project will be resubdividing the property from lot two to be lot three of block A of the city center subdivision.

Um as you can see, the um through this process, the applicant will be dedicating uh a portion of the property to the abutting right-of-way along Maryland 355, highlighted in yellow.

Um, that will be approximately 755 square feet.

Um, in addition, um, the applicant will establish new easements to facilitate the development um by way of access and infrastructure easements.

So there are no uh required findings that the commission must make with a final record plat.

Uh staff has reviewed this particular application in accordance with the standards uh of chapter 25, uh the city's zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations and found that it meets all the necessary requirements.

Uh therefore staff does recommend approval of this final record plat subject to the conditions outlined in the staff report.

Um should the uh commission wish to proceed.

Uh there the outline motion is on the screen.

Um, other than that, Mr.

Chair, that uh concludes staff's presentation.

All right, thank you, Mr.

Davis.

Um, do we have is there uh an uh a presentation from the applicant?

Or is that not something that's gonna happen today?

No, there's no specified uh uh uh presentation by the applicant.

They are here if you have any questions.

Okay.

Uh so with that, then I'll open it up to the commission.

Anyone have any questions, thoughts, comments?

Uh hearing nothing, uh would anyone care to make a motion?

Uh Mr.

Chair, before you do that, if you could call for any member of the public that might want to testify, testify.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, absolutely.

Uh do we have anyone online that would like to testify, testify?

If you do, I think you can use the uh raise hand button on the bottom of your screen.

Uh in the event that we do, just know that uh if you are looking to testify, um, we will uh we will allow three minutes uh for public testimony, three minutes per person.

Uh please do adhere to that to three minutes.

We will enforce it.

Uh if you are speaking on behalf of a neighborhood, like an organization, like an HOA or something like that, we can afford you up to five minutes regardless.

Um time will be observed uh and we appreciate your compliance with it.

Um with that anyone, uh Mr.

Chair, I'm not seeing anyone who uh has made an indication that they would like to test.

Okay, spoke too quickly.

All right, so who do we have?

We have uh Antoine Angouva.

Uh sir, if you could uh unmute yourself first.

Hello, can you hear me?

Yes, yes.

So I am Henriette Engoulevant, and I'm part of the board of the community of town house that lives just by the development.

And I just wanted to um remind you that we're following closely of course this development, hoping that um everything is going to work well because we have uh a street that uh is on the side of the development that um is uh or private street.

So we are really I mean following closely what's happening.

This was just to let you know.

Okay, appreciate it.

Um do we have anyone else that cares to offer testimony today?

Once again, please use the uh raise hand button at the bottom of your screen.

If the raising if you're having a problem with the raise hand button, please do drop a note in the chat and we can try to solve it.

Okay, I'm seeing nothing, I'm hearing nothing.

So with that, uh anyone on the commission care to offer any thoughts or a motion commissioners.

I can try to make a motion.

Um it can you um share the the screen?

Thank you.

All right, I move to approve the final uh record plat PLT 2025-00643 to resubdivide load two block A of the city center subdivision to lot three block A and provide the dedication of public right of way at 620 to a hunger for the drive, subject to the conditions in the STEM report.

Do we have a second?

Second.

All right, all those in favor.

I second say aye.

Aye, aye.

Do we have any opposed?

All right, that passes unanimously then.

Thank you very much.

Um that moves us on to our regular schedule, regularly scheduled uh commission administrative items.

Uh Mr.

Wozlack, do we have a staff liaison report to share?

Uh yes, thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Uh, just looking ahead to your next meeting, which will be on October 8th, two weeks from today.

Uh there are a series of plats that will implement the Shady Groove Neighborhood Center project, uh, phase one of that project.

Um that will be on your agenda.

Uh there's also the site plan that will implement the project plan that the commission saw for the loft units at uh the Boulevard 44 building in town center, and then also a ZOOR work session, which will essentially mirror the mayor council's ZOR work session that is being held this coming Monday, the 29th.

So uh fairly um robust agenda uh for your next meeting.

I did want to let you know that uh I told you last time that uh Ricky Barker, our director, has retired from the city, and we now have an acting director, and that is Craig Semeno, uh, who is or has been our the city's director of public works for a number of years, and he is now our acting director, and uh Jim Woods, who is who has been deputy director of of public works, is now the acting public works director.

So um also uh there will be an acting deputy director.

Uh many of you remember Jenny Snap who attended your meetings.

She has moved on to Montgomery County, and so we expect an appointment of an acting deputy director uh very soon, and I will keep you up to date on that.

And that concludes my report for this evening.

Great, awesome, thank you.

Um does anyone have any old business?

Hearing nothing, let's move on to new business.

All right, and this week um Mr.

Wazlock, we had no minutes to approve.

Is that correct?

That is correct, yes.

Okay, perfect.

Um, any FYI correspondence that you care to share?

Um I shared a piece of correspondence with you all uh earlier this evening, and uh, if you have any questions about that, uh please let me know.

Um I don't think it will affect anything, but just wanted you to be aware of it.

Um actually did receive uh some testimony on uh one of the proposed rezonings in the comprehensive free zoning.

Um that is came in came into the mayor and council and and planning commission as well.

So that was one thing that was received, and uh will be included in the public record uh when that comes forward to you.

Yeah, I think that was it.

Great, thank you.

Um that concludes our uh scheduled agenda.

Um, do we have anything else anyone would like to add or a motion to adjourn?

I move we adjourn.

Aye second.

All right, all those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Perfect.

That's a wrap then.

Thank you, Rockville.
