access points of off Vincit Street and a possible future connection to Little Kidwell Avenue extended. The
majority of the parking is to the side of the building. There is a drop-off area atthe front of the building along
with handicap parking. Future phases would be extending parking to the back, connecting onto Little Kidwell
and an outdoor pool.
o
Site Access: DPW and the county on Little Kidwell extended. Currently doing engineering for that section
of road that was not built. Currently they do not have the funding to build it. The County and the YMCA are
working out whether the YMCA builds it and then gets reimbursed. The pledge is that it will get done as part
of this project. Todd Mohn, Queen Anne's County Administrator: Little Kidwell extended was part of the
original project for the Development. The road was preliminarily designed before which is now being
wrapped up and will work with the YMCA to get that connection done. Utilities are there and some
landscaping is on both sides so it is just a matter of finishing up that work. Completion of the extension is
hoped to be completed within the next couple of years during the construction of the YMCA.
' After discussion regarding Green Street extended it was agreed upon by the Planning Commissioners that it
should not be on the site plan.

members.
o
The applicant is not requesting an exemption to the Tree Canopy requirement of l5o/o but for a deferral until
the property is developed beyond the proposed agricultural use. This request does not constitute a waiver
which would require off site planting or a fee in lieu. It is based on the limited amount of impervious surface
cover, the location outside of the public's general view and the proposed perimeter privacy fence. Upon
application of a permanent on-site building with associated parking the l5o/o tree canopy plan will be provided
for the site.
