Recap of Worksession #2
To provide protection, an imperviousness level of approximately 8% should be maintained for the watershed Alternative 2 was selected by the Board which allows greater density and imperviousness on the Pulte and King properties than was recommended in the PH Draft Use the Rural Neighborhood Cluster zone on the Pulte and King properties Discussed TDRs, but final resolution is needed Review Redlined text of Introduction, Planning Context and Plan Concept

Replace Text and adjust heading style to refer to entire planning area Add language to reinforce the importance of service to the Historic District Affordable connections rely on gravity service via the Miles/Coppola property Comprehensive facility planning is needed for a solution that meets the needs of all the properties east of I-270 and the County properties Sewer for Pulte and King properties can be pursued separately.

Implementation
Plan recommends imperviousness caps10 percent on PulteKing properties; 8 and 4.5 percent on county-owned properties; 25 percent east of I-270
Staff recommends overlay zones similar to those used in Upper Paint Branch and Upper Rock Creek
The purpose of these zones is to preserve and protect sensitive natural resources in the watershed by reducing the amount of land disturbed for development. Limiting impervious surfaces enables natural filtering of water runoff, and creates undeveloped open space that can be forested, which can help support cooler water temperatures and a diverse population of insects and invertebrates within streams.

Special provisions for small properties in overlay zone and for county properties Will need to draft overlay zone prior to PHED Committee

Implementation
East of I-270

Staff recommends
Facility plan to solve permanently sewer service issues for Historic District Planning should encourage private participation should Miles-Coppola properties develop early Facility plan for MD 355 Bypass to evaluate transit station location Evaluate impacts on historic Clarksburg School and existing elementary school appropriate rights-of-way for Observation Drive (A-19)

Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission

MONTGOMERY COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT

Planning for the Bypass

Serious issues remain about the location of the 355 Bypass 1994 Plan route:
Is more direct and functions better as a bypass for 355 Involves significant impact to the elementary and the historic school Has significant topographic challenges

The alternative route

Takes advantage of existing roadways Avoids most school impacts Is more circuitous as a bypass

The interaction between the CCT and the BRT is unknown at this time The location of the transit station depends on the route of the bypass
Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission

MONTGOMERY COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT

Parameters for a 355 Bypass facility plan

Clearly define Bypass function balance regional demands with local impacts Bypass cannot be a barrier to the rest of the Clarksburg Town Center must also advance community building goals Both the Bypass and MD 355 through the Clarksburg historic district must be designed as great streets Define ROW widths and designs that are responsive to multimodal functions while minimizing environmental impacts Employ a complete streets approach with a focus on traffic calming

Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission

MONTGOMERY COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT

Fire Station
Given changes in land use assumptions in support of community building goals: Suggest a fresh look at the currently approved fire station plan Consider an approach that better integrates the station and its design into the context of future development Consider including other co-located public uses and functions

Implementation

Staff recommends
Working with the property owners to identify a natural resourcebased Neighborhood Park during regulatory review of new development Creation of forest banking program that would offer credit to landowners in Rural Zone and Ag Reserve for planting unforested buffer areas
