Rod and Reel Planning & Zoning Review
Previously the Town of Chesapeake Beach had announced a special Planning and Zoning meeting on August 30 to consider the final plan for the first phase of the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa expansion. However that meeting was subsequently cancelled.
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Town Planning and Zoning Commission is this Wednesday, September 13 @ 7:00PM at the Town Hall. P&Z review of the RNR site plan is on the agenda for this meeting.
Since the expansion of the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa will have known and unknown effects on Chesapeake Station, we urge CSHOA residents and owners to stay informed and attend this meeting.
Bridge Construction Update
The Town has announced a public meeting on September 19 @ 6:00PM in the Town Hall to discuss the Fishing Creek Bridge project. State Highway personnel will be present to update the community on the plans, schedule, and any forseen interruptions to traffic.
Yard Sale!
A Chesapeake Station Community Yard Sale has been scheduled for September 16 (Saturday), 8:00-12:00. If you would like to participate, all you need to do is get your “treasures” out on your driveway by 8:00AM.
Even if you only have a few items it will be a nice event to meet some of your neighbors. This would also help the traffic by advertising as a community. The more the merrier.
We plan to advertise on the Internet, Craigslist, Facebook, the newspapers, and with signs.
Planning is also in place for a special pick-up two days later on September 18th by Purple Heart, National Federation of the Blind, American Red Cross, and St. Vincent’s for those few items not sold. Just put your items in boxes, sacks, etc. with the name of the charity you wish to donate to and place them at the curb on the 18th by 7:00 am. Jean Muller will be collecting names and addresses of people wishing to donate at our Annual Owners Meeting on September 9 and during the yard sale on September 16.
If you have ideas on how to make this event more successful, contact Jean Muller at [email protected] or 410-257-3572.
CANCELLED!
We have just received word that the August 30 Special Meeting of the Town Planning and Zoning Commission to consider revisions to the site plan for the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa expansion has been CANCELLED.
The next regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled for September 13 at 7:00PM in the Town Hall. However, we have no information on the agenda at this time and don’t know whether the RNR project will be discussed on September 13.
Rod and Reel Planning & Zoning Meeting
The Town of Chesapeake Beach has announced a Planning and Zoning meeting to consider revisions to the site plan for the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa expansion. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 30th at 7:00PM in the Chesapeake Beach Town Hall.
As a neighboring resident/owner, many of you have probably already received a written notice from the Town of this meeting. If not, you can find it here.
Since the expansion of the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa will have known and unknown effects on Chesapeake Station, we urge CSHOA residents and owners to stay informed and attend this meeting.
Happy Hour Update
At last we have the perfect Sunday, August 27th for another happy hour! With a great turn out in July, we are encouraged to continue the fun. If you missed it, we had up to 20 people in July with great food that we ended up sharing, and everyone bringing their own beverage.
But most importantly it was wonderful company! The best part was the mix of new residents with those of us who have been here awhile! A great way to get to know your neighbors!
We will begin at 5 pm on Sunday down by the beach and everyone is welcome! Bring a chair and food and drink for yourself.
See you there!
The annual Chesapeake Beach fireworks will be held on July 2 this year with a rain date of July 3. As usual, CSHOA, with assistance from the Town and County Sheriff’s Department will be closing the north and south C St. entrances to Chesapeake Station. Beginning at 4:00PM, vehicle access to Chesapeake Station via C St. will be restricted to those vehicles that have a valid Chesapeake Station sticker or carry a one-day parking pass. Up to four one-day passes will be available for Chesapeake Station households starting June 13 on a first-come, first-serve basis from Penny Schmidt (410-474-2802) for Band Shell Ct. residents, Cathy Diggle (301-785-1784) for Overlook residents, or Dave Ferguson (703-624-8354) and Charlie Pritchard (301-325-0512) for other residents. Requests may also be made by email to [email protected]. So as not to overload our parking areas, the number of passes issued will be limited to 260.
Chesapeake Station receives a lot of visitors on that day so please ask your guests to consider carpooling. If your guests are arriving early, consider having them park in public areas and walk into Chesapeake Station. Passes are not required for pedestrians. If your guests don’t have a parking pass, their vehicle will not be admitted even if you vouch for them.
Parking is permitted in private driveways, with permission of the householder, or in the street. However, please be considerate and do not park in a location that blocks a driveway or road access. Remember that you are responsible for the conduct and safety of your guests. And a final reminder: use of fireworks is prohibited on public and private property. Please instruct your guests that they may not set off firecrackers, rockets, or explode anything anywhere in Chesapeake Station, including your own yard.
Be aware of the traffic plan that the Town will put in place for that day. The traffic plan is set up to eliminate all left hand turns on a portion of Route 261 going through the Twin Beaches, enabling traffic to flow with minimal stopping. The centerline of Route 261 will be blocked with delineation devices that will prohibit vehicles from making U-turns. Traffic north of Route 260 along Route 261 on the east side of Route 261 must make right turns and exit left on 5th Street to Boyd’s Turn Road to Route 260. Traffic on the west side of Route 261 must make a right turn and exit on 27th Street to G Street to Route 260. Traffic south of Route 260 along Route 261 on the east side of Route 261 must make a right turn and must turn left onto Route 260. Traffic on the west side of Route 261 must turn right and continue along Route 261 to Summer City Blvd or continue south to Ponds Wood Road and proceed to Maryland Route 4.
Thanks for your cooperation and help, and we hope you have a wonderful Independence Day celebration.
