Bill 71-11, Condominiums


Sponsor: Bevins
Benefitted: Waters Landing PUD, Manekin, developer

Provides exceptions to bulk regulations for certain condo projects in DR within Chesapeake Bay Critical Area.

Weakening of any restrictions in the Critical Area is a pretty good indication that this is being done to benefit one developer, to the detriment of the environment.

This bill was to grease the skids for the Waters Landing PUD in Middle River being developed by Manekin, a Columbia-based developer.
