Chesapeake Beach Developers Plans Decided Upon

By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
The Planning and Zoning Commission
met last Wednesday at 7 p.m. to discuss the
proposed site plans created by Gerald Donovan and his team regarding his expansion of
the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa and
the development of the Harbor Vista South
Apartments across the street on Harbor
Road.
The Chesapeake Beach town hall was
packed with residents, forcing many to
stand. Among the residents were town
council members, Gerald Donovan, his attorney, and all of the experts on the project
for traffic, environment, engineering, and
architecture.
The meeting started with the discussion
of the Harbor Vista South Apartments.
One of the lead architects Janey Gregory
from the architectural and design firm Little,
which is handling both of Donovans projects, said that the apartment building will
have five levels, two for parking and three
residential with 58 units in total. According
to Paul Woodburn the engineer on the project, the property sits on about 2.8 acres with
the building reaching 60 ft. 2 inches and, according to Gregory, there will be bike racks,
storage units, boat slips for all apartments,
a wellness and fitness center, it will be pet
friendly and have outdoor grills, a picnic
area, and high security parking.

They are considering making the top floor
senior only, but have not come to a final decision on the matter.
Gregory said they want people to know
its high end on their first impression, they
want to keep with the local aesthetic, and
their targeted demographic is the baby
boomer generation and the families on the
go that want to live next to the water.
The preliminary approval was given for
the project after looking over many factors.
The state highway administration will be rebuilding the bridge and expanding the intersection of 261 and Harbor Road which will
help the extra traffic flow easily in and out
of the development. According to Donovans
traffic expert, the traffic will move at a level
B or higher during peak hours.
Storm water management already exists
on the property, which handles runoff and
will help meet the Critical Area Commissions requirements.
They have still have thousands of square
feet of land to mitigate, however this will be
handled with in lieu of fees or by mitigating
another piece of property within the town.
The commission does encourage mitigating
another piece of property, which Donovan
and his team did not object to.
The only conditions to this preliminary
approval was that they turn in a lighting and
signage plan and consider a public access
easement through the property in the form

of a sidewalk.
Donovan and his team did object to the
public access easement as, according to the
attorney, it could cause many legal problems. The planning and zoning commission
will be asking the town attorney to look into
the matter.
The second part of the meeting dealt with
the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa.
According to Gregory, there will be a
crab house, a terrace, Rod and Reel will
be moved and redone, there will be an improved wedding venue, a ballroom, a meeting room, retail shops, a caf, a glass atrium,
an arcade, another restaurant, a separate
three level parking garage that will be covered with translucent artistic frames, and
about 65 more hotel rooms.
This part of the Donovans project was
hit with much more difficulty and did not
receive its preliminary approval.
According to Woodburn, unlike the other
site, no storm water management is in effect.
This needs to be planned before construction can take place.
The commissions main concern was that
the traffic coming out of the garage onto
Mears Avenue would cause issues with the
intersection and the people coming out of
the Chesapeake Station shopping center.
Other concerns included lighting, sound,
signage, safe travels across the site for pedestrians, and once more they asked for a public
access easement on a part of the property.
With both projects, the public had mixed
reactions.
Donovan stressed to the public that he

wants to be a good neighbor.
We hope to produce something in the
town that everyone can be proud of, said
Donovan.
The planning and zoning commission,
Donovan, and members of his team will
be meeting next month to go over the plans
once more with the concerns addressed.

Legislative Leadership
Announces Transparency
In Transportation Agenda
Common Sense Legislation Will
Create More Transparency And
Accountability In Transportation
Funding And Decision-Making
Speaker of the House Michael E.

Busch, Senate President Thomas
V. Mike Miller, Jr, and legislative
leadership today announced common sense legislation to create more
transparency and accountability in
deciding how Maryland taxpayer
dollars are spent on transportation
and transit.
The state spends billions on
transportation and transit, said
House Speaker Michael E. Busch.
We need better transparency and
accountability to ensure tax payer
dollars are spent wisely to rebuild
our infrastructure and support our
economy.
People dont mind paying for
road improvements or improved
transit as long as the funding goes to
reducing congestion and commute
times, getting cars off the road, and
creating jobs and economic development opportunities. Getting rid of
the mystery of how, why and where
roads get built in Maryland will
only increase citizen confidence in
the process. stated Senate President
Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
The legislative package introduced today includes:
SB908/HB1013 - Maryland Open
Transportation Investment Decision
Act of 2016 (Senator DeGrange,
Delegate Beidle):
Long-term planning and funding
decisions are made by each administration with the input of local jurisdictions but without transparency or
objective decision-making process.
Virginia recently passed bi-partisan
legislation to take the politics out
of transportation funding decisions
and this bill proposes that Maryland
follow a similar process.
This legislation would create a
new process to objectively screen
and rank the priority of transportation projects based on their anticipated benefits including reduced
congestion and increasing economic
development. Funding lower scoring projects ahead of higher scoring
alternatives is not prohibited but doing so requires the Governor to provide a rationale for any deviation.
HB1010 - Maryland Transit Administration Oversight and Planning
Board (Delegate Lierman):
The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) is the countrys 13th
largest transit system with more
than 370,000 trips taken each day
by the elderly, disabled and school
children on bus, light rail, metro

subway, and trains. The MTA does
not currently engage in long-term
planning, and does not produce
regular performance and reliability
reports for the public. Furthermore,
the MTA does not have a mandated,
permanent forum for addressing
concerns of transit riders, business
leaders and the public.
Similar to other State transportation modalities, the bill would create
the Maryland Transit Administration Oversight and Planning Board
made up of transit riders and citizens
appointed by the Governor, Presiding Officers and the County Executives in MTA service area. The
Board would provide a forum for the
public to be represented and heard
by MTA officials and would report
back to the Governor and General
Assembly on the MTAs spending,
performance, policies, and progress
towards strategic goals
SB907/HB672 - Harry W. Nice
Memorial Potomac River Bridge
Replacement (Senator Middleton/
Delegate Jameson):
The Harry W. Nice Bridge will
reach the end of its 75 year life span
in 2025. It is a critical evacuation
route and the only logical alternative
to I-95 across the Potomac River.
After a replacement plan was in
place, the construction of a bridge is
currently stalled, and unless legislative action is taken, the bridge will
reach the end of its lifespan without
a new bridge being completed.
The legislation requires the Maryland Transportation Authority undertake all the necessary steps to
begin construction of the Harry
Nice Bridge replacement in the near
future.
HB1012 - Income Tax Credit Commuter Benefits - Eligibility and
Credit Amount (Delegate McCray):
As MTA, MARC and DC Metro
fares, parking and carpool expenses have increased, the tax credit to
businesses offering commuter benefits to their employees has not kept
pace. Offering employees commuter
benefits has become less and less attractive to the states employers.
This legislation would double the
commuter benefits tax credit from
$50 a month to $100 and reduce carpool eligibility from 8 riders to 6 riders to encourage more carpooling.

Patuxent Business Park

Finally Gets Tenants
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Dominion Cove Point will be building
a combined office space and warehouse in
Patuxent Business Park (PBP) on one of 14
lots, according to the Calvert County Department of Economic Development.
According to a press release, the building
will be 50,000 square feet.
According to Angela Walters the spokesperson for the Department of Economic
Development, Dominion approached them
in fall of 2015.
County Commissioner Evan Slaughenhoupt Jr., said that he heard the news about
two to three weeks ago.
Slaughenhoupt said that Dominion decided to build because they had underestimated the staff they needed for the Dominion Cove Point project. This new building
will provide office spaces for the overflow.
Slaughenhoupt said that the project is
already underway as they have submitted
their plans for the permit process and the
hope to finish construction by summer of
2016.
The park was built in 2002, however
nothing has been constructed to date.
According to Walters and Slaughenhoupt, there had been much interest over
the years and a lot of work done, but all potential developers had backed out.
According to Walters, Dominion was not
actually the first to purchase a lot in PBP,
in 2006 lot No.10 was purchased by Osprey
Property Company.
Slaughenhoupt said that the reason for
lack of development he believed was cause
by two broad issues, financing for the company and issues with the state.
Walters said it was definitely an issue of

financing and a downturned economy.
Its wasnt like we were not trying, said
Walters. It was a situation handed to us by
the economy.
Slaughenhoupt said that the original plan
for PBP was for businesses to either move
or expand into. This is exactly what Dominion is doing.
Slaughenhoupt said he is happy that this
will bring new jobs to the county for the
people constructing and working in the
building.
Slaughenhoupt said he hopes that this
will into be the first step for more development in PBP.
Of course, we are very happy that Dominion decided to build this new facility in
Patuxent Business Park, said Linda Vassallo, Director of Calvert County Department of Economic Development. The sale
of that lot, and the announcement of the
parks first construction project is great
news for Calvert County, the state of Maryland and our work force. We are confident
this is the beginning of business growth in
the PBP.

Josh Kurtz: Rights and Wrongs

By Josh Kurtz
Editor of Environment & Energy Daily
On the day state Senate Democrats voted to override his veto

of legislation restoring voting rights to 44,000 parolees and probationers, Gov. Larry Hogan (R) ordered Bipartisan Crab Soup
at Chick n Ruths deli in Annapolis.
Cornered by reporters in the cramped governors booth as
he ate with Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford (R), Hogan was quick
to condemn the vote and suggested that there could be political consequences for the senators who went against his wishes.
Some, he predicted, wont survive the vote.
Minutes later, like clockwork, Change Maryland, Hogans
political organization, listed the 29 Democrats who had voted
to override the veto, accusing them of ignoring an overwhelming majority of Marylanders and suggesting that they be targeted for their votes. In the days that followed, angry Marylanders let these lawmakers know how they felt sometimes in
intemperate, threatening ways.
Can we please, please discard the notion, symbolic culinary
preferences notwithstanding, that Hogan is a bipartisan governor? Even when he delivers a State of the State speech full of
bipartisan platitudes, as he did two weeks ago, Hogans words
are almost immediately contradicted by the biting rhetoric and
bare-knuckle tactics of Change Maryland as if this organization, which Hogan built specifically to crap on Democrats
and get himself elected governor, is somehow a separate entity
from the man atop state government. Senate President Mike
Miller (D) blamed Change Maryland for the hostile messages
he and his colleagues have received and hes got a point.
And when is someone going to have the temerity to suggest
that some of the rhetoric emanating from the governors fullthrottle political operation is, intentionally or not, a dog whistle
to some of the whiter communities in the state and some of the
darker elements of the conservative movement who see every
taxpayer dollar going to places like Baltimore city and Prince
Georges County as money wasted on undeserving minorities?
It is increasingly possible to see a link between the anti-gov-
ernment message that Hogan employed to great effect in 2014

and the intolerance thats routinely coming from the Republican candidates for president. Hogans is just delivered with his
affable smile.
Whether Hogans opposition to the voting bill is another
example of Republican attempts at voter suppression, as some
Democrats charge, is hard to say. Undeniably, given the state of
the modern American criminal justice system and Marylands
population, many of the 44,000 ex-offenders who will now see
their voting rights restored on an accelerated basis are AfricanAmerican and Latino. And they are more likely than not to vote
Democratic, making this nominally blue state just a tad bluer.
Yet Democrats are casting this measure as an expansion of
democracy which it is and are soft-pedaling the partisan
implications.
Change Maryland isnt directly mentioning the partisan implications, either. But as it ostensibly targets all 29 state Senate
Democrats who voted to override Hogans veto, it is really only
targeting a handful the Democrats representing districts that
Hogan carried in 2014. So look out John Astle and Ed Kasemeyer and Ron Young and Bobby Zirkin and yes, Mike
Miller.
Can 44,000 newly-enrolled voters put Democrats over the
top in 2018? Can Change Maryland sustain the ire against the
vulnerable Senate Democrats long enough to defeat them in
2018? Here are examples #1,047 and #1,048 of why the 2018
election is already well under way.
But on the issue of expanding democracy in Maryland, the
Democrats are not without their contradictions and hypocrisy,
either. If a purer, more robust democracy is truly the goal, then
the Democrats ought to go along with Hogans bid to reform the
redistricting process in Maryland as it is or with variations.
There is, of course, a partisan element to Hogans push for
redistricting reform though he wont cop to it. After all, if
Maryland Democrats arent gaming the process, Republicans
stand to gain.
And Democrats are right to point out that Republican abuses
of the redistricting process in a handful of other states are just
as bad as Democratic gerrymandering in Maryland. Some

Democrats have called for federal redistricting reform to level
the playing field and thats a desirable goal, in theory.
But as long as the drawing of congressional and legislative
district boundaries remains the purview of states, the solution
to a stilted process ought to be found at the state level. Whatever the motivations, Hogans recommendations to put redistricting in the hands of a nonpartisan commission seem modest
and come, for the Democrats, with minimal risk.
How many Democratic-held congressional seats in Maryland would flip with a fairer redistricting process? One or two?
How many legislative districts would change hands? Not many.
Why are the Democrats ceding the moral high ground here to
Hogan and the Republicans?
Last fall, the Florida Supreme Court threw out that states
heavily-gerrymandered congressional map, which favored the
GOP. The end result? Democrats may pick up a couple of seats.
Less than two weeks ago, a federal court threw out North
Carolinas congressional map, which may be the most gerrymandered in the nation even though that states primary is
just a couple of weeks away. A new map could yield a couple of
seats for the Democrats, at best.
How long till someone finds a legitimate legal argument to
upend Marylands misshapen political map?
Yes, if Democrats go along with Hogans redistricting plan,
Hogan wins. But guess what if Democrats resist and obstruct
it, Hogan wins, too.
Just last week, in a triumphant, nostalgic return to the statehouse in Springfield, Ill., where his political career began in
1997, President Obama made a full-throated cry for redistricting reform. In another statehouse, several hundred miles away,
Democrats should take his words to heart.

A Friendly Reminder From The County Times of St. Marys & Calvert
Commissioners Corner
Whats Next?
Several columns in this newspaper presented insights into the workings of the
Calvert County government. Also for the
past few months, similar presentations
were presented to the public during Work
Sessions at various Tuesday meetings of
the Board of County Commissioners. The
information presented is unprecedented as
even the various county department directors indicated this years budget build process; presented as Service Based Budgeting permitted them insight into their own
departments not previously known.
This approach has several objectives;
most noteworthy is Transparency for
our citizens. The information is available on line at: http://www.co.cal.md.us/
index.aspx?nid=1965 and those work sessions may be viewed at: http://www.co.cal.
md.us/index.aspx?NID=1501
There are nearly 500 Services and Functions identified which the county government does and explains why so many
weeks were needed to present this information. The Services are those activities
that directly serve the citizens and the
Functions are those activities that support
the Services. Since this information is
now available, an obvious question to ask
is Whats Next?
Each of these Services and Functions
are documented, along with estimated
cost information for each within a spreadsheet. The various department directors identified a relative priority for their
Services and Functions. Currently, the
County Administrator is reviewing these
from an overall across-county government

perspective. Soon, this listing will be provided to each county commissioner who
will individually vote on these priorities.
They may simply accept the priority recommended by the county administrator,
or submit a higher or lower ranking score.
The scores will be averaged and then the
spreadsheet will be sorted based upon the
rankings.
No doubt, the listing that will be produced will show cost information for
Services and Functions that exceeds the
amount of expected incoming revenue.
This scoring should conclude about the
time the budget and finance staff is ready
to produce a staff recommended budget.
At that point in time, the commissioners
will weigh all options and use spreadsheet
for providing guidance to the budget staff
for producing the final budget.
This process is new; the first time for
our staff to build a budget this way, with
lessons learned that could be applied for
subsequent years. It also is new for our
citizens who were and are welcomed to
weigh in with their views and concerns.
The next few months will be interesting.
Stay involved and make sure your voices
are heard. Recommend that citizens present their views via email to commiss@

Local Lawmakers
Differ On Pension
Tax Credit Bill
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A bill profered in Annapolis this year
could pay big dividends for retirees with
big pension benefits up to $75,000
and while some local law makers are
supporting the measure others are skeptical of its rewards, much less its chances of success.
The bill, HB 311, entered by Del.
Karen Lewis Young, a Frederick Democrat, would exempt state residents who
are at least 70 years old, or those who
suffer from a qualifying disability, from
income taxes on their pensions up to
$75,000.
The maximum allowable exemption
would be phased in over seven years, according to an analysis by the states Department of Legislative Services (DLS.)
The costs to the state would be significant, with a revenue decrease of $16.9
million for fiscal 2017 and $95.8 million
by 2021, according to DLS.
Senator Steve Waugh R-Dist. 29 said
he would support the bill because it was
a tax relief bill and particularly because
this would help seniors, especially retired federal and military personnel, remain in Maryland.
A tax credit is generally a good
thing, Waugh said. The more we can
pass this year the better.
Waugh said despite the good intentions of the legislation it faced a stiff, uphill battle even to get out of committee.
This is going in exactly the direction
Gov. [Larry] Hogan and the Republican
caucus wants to go, and thats to keep
seniors here, Waugh said. But I would
expect both committees to kill the bill.
Youngs bill is currently in the house
Ways and Means Committee, while
Sen. Ron Youngs companion bill is
in the senates Budget and Taxation
Committee.
Ron Young is Karen Youngs husband.
Karen Youngs similar bill died in
committee last year and Ron Youngs
bill is in a committee where there are
just three Republicans, Waugh said.
Weve got to find three Democrats
in the Senate to get it out to the floor,
Waugh said.
Del. Deb Rey, R-Dist. 29B, is the one
local law maker in either Calvert or St.
Marys to offically sponsor the bill.
This was definitely an issue in the
last election, the intention of the bill is to
reduce taxes on our seniors, Rey said.
Usually you dont see Democrats putting forward tax relief.
Im encouraged by the bill.
Rey also believed the chances of the
bill passing were slim but it was still
worth supporting.
If you dont put new ideas out there,
nothings going to change, Rey said.
Todd Eberly, professor of political science at St. Marys College of Maryland,
said the prospect of a such a significant
A tax credit is
generally a good
thing. The more
we can pass this
year the better.
single tax cut would likely gain in popularity but it was not exactly in keeping
with the governors balanced approach
of fiscal discipline and curbing spending.
Tax cuts are popular, but what we
dont like to do is plug holes or cut programs, Eberly said. This blows a substantial hole in the budget.
Eberly said politicians were lining up
to find ways to spend the $449 million
surplus currently had in fiscal 2017 but
that in three years the states structural
deficit was likely to rear its head again.
Eberly also said that seniors, at least
the ones who could retire with a pension
as high as $75,000, were not leaving the
state permanently.
Rather some of them were maintaining a residence here and wintering in
places like Florida.
Trying to compete with Florida to
keep and retain seniors, he said, was
likely to fail.
Florida has no income tax and no
winter, Eberly said. It [HB 311] wont
change much about whether or not people leave the state.
Eberly said both Republicans and
Democrats continued to come to an impass over the states finances: Republicans were loathe to raise new revenues
through taxation but Democrats were
equally guilty of not finding ways to cut
costs or programs.
The two sides are talking past eachother, Eberly said. Adding $100 million
to the deficit is not fiscal discipline.
It speaks to skewed priorities.
Del. Matt Morgan, R-Dist. 29A, was
not fond of the bill, nor its prospects in
the legislature.
He believed Hogans proposals, particularly an earned income tax credit for
middle class residents, made more sense.
It does have some bipartisan support, but I dont particularly care for it,
Morgan said. Its a carve-out for special
people.
One of the bills main problems, Morgan said, was that people who paid into
their retirement funds on their own, such
as with individual retirement accounts,
were not eligible for the exemption.
I just cant see it passing, Morgan
said.

Dropout Rate at an All-Time Low

A higher percentage of Maryland students are crossing the stage to receive their
high school diplomas than at any other time
in the States history, according to data
released today by the Maryland State Department of Education. As the graduation
rate sets new records, the dropout rate has
reached an all-time low.
Each student who graduates from high
school is a success story, and those students,
families, and schools should celebrate that
success, said Dr. Jack Smith, Interim State
Superintendent of Schools. It also is important to remember that a high school diploma is only the first step. We continue to
strengthen our standards to better prepare
each student for life beyond high school
be it further education, the workforce, or
both.
The four-year cohort graduation rate
reached 87 percent in 2015 5 points
better than the 82 percent rate registered
in 2010. The graduation rate jumped .6

percentage points over 2014, from 86.4
percent.
Most student subgroups saw improvement in graduation rates between 2014 and
2015, although gaps in the numbers persist:
Four-year cohort graduation rates for African American, Asian, Native Hawaiian
and White students all improved, as did the
rate for students identifying as two or more
races.
The graduation rate for African American students has jumped from 76.09 in 2010
to 82.3 percent in 2015.
The graduation rate for Hispanic students dipped by .6 percentage points between 2014 and 2015, but has improved by
more than 5 percentage points since 2011,
from 71.7 percent to 76.9 percent.
Among students receiving special services, the four-year cohort graduation rate
rose in two of three categories. Specifically,
both special education students and students receiving free or reduced price meals
improved. But the percentage of English
language learners graduating fell from 54.1
percent in 2014 to 49.3 percent in 2015.
Maryland six years ago moved to the
cohort graduation rate, which follows a
set group of students from freshman year
through their senior year. The four-year
cohort graduation rate has improved every
year since.
Simultaneously, the dropout rate has
been in steady decline. The States dropout
rate, which stood at 11.9 percent in 2010,
dropped to 8.1 percent in 2015.
The new high school and system data
will be available on the updated MdReportCard.org website at noon today.

Historic Wedding
Venue Open
for Business
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Ocean Hall was built in 1703 by wealthy
merchant Captain Gerard Slye.
Owner Jamie Boyd bought the house in
1979 and has dedicated his life ever since
to exploring the history of the house and
restoring it as much as he can to its original glory. Although he and his wife Jenifer
Boyd have done tours of the house, finally, about 37 years later in 2015, they have
opened the house for weddings.
We finally felt like the house was ready
and the way we wanted it, said Jennifer
Boyd.
They have had two weddings on the
property so far, besides their own.
The property, which consists of 11 acres,
offers the best of many worlds. There is a
private beach overlooking the Wicomico
River, a barn, a large open yard,

and a patio.
The venue has a view of
Charles County as well as Virginia and sits across from Stratford Hall where George Washington grew up.
It is also a short walk from the
Bushwood Wharf, a good spot
for photos by the water.
The bride has access to the
bridal suite in one of the upstairs
rooms of the house where she
can prepare for the big day. The suite and
the rest of house can be used for pictures for
the duration of the event.
Jennifer is also on hand to help in anyway she can the evening before and the
whole day of the wedding.
The Boyds offer weddings from April to
October, as the venue is outdoor and winter
Photo by Danny Douglas Photography
months do not cater to this.

This is yours for the day, create your
memories, have your fairytale, said Boyd.
On Sunday, April 3 from noon to 3 p.m.,
Boyd will be hosting a Weddings on the
Wicomico River Wedding Workshop.
Vendors will come to the property and
brides will be able to get a look at the venue
as well as meet local florists, photogra-
phers, and more.

Ocean Hall is located at 36889 Bushwood Wharf Road in Bushwood.
For more information on the event or the
venue, find Ocean Hall on Facebook, call
Jennifer Boyd at 240-925-2163, or email

Month Long, February
Calendar
Art Exhibit Opening: Artists in Action Workshop

Annmarie Sculpture Garden and
Arts Center - 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A few months each year, Annmaries spectacular Main Gallery is
transformed from exhibition space
into artist studios, allowing visitors
the opportunity to appreciate the
artistic process as well as the product. Annmarie seeks artists working
in any media to submit proposals to
set up a working studio space in the
Main Gallery for 1-2 week periods.
These studios utilize the artists own
supplies and equipment. Artists
work in their studios demonstrating their processes and techniques
to curious visitors. Artists are also
afforded space to hang artwork for
sale within the gallery for the duration of their studio time. It is our
goal to expose visitors to the working process of artistsfrom concept to finished product. As such,
this show is ideal for artists working
on a large project or series. Artists
must be willing to speak with visitors informally about their work and
their process. Overnight
accommodations for out-of-town artists

are available on a first-come, firstserve basis. Through this exhibition,
artists gain exposure, sell artwork,
and work in a free studio space in a
beautiful setting. This is a nice occasion for a serene retreat to immerse
yourself in your artwork. Future
group or solo show opportunities
may also be awarded. Dates: Feb.
7-13 and 15-21.
