ApDearances
a. Concept Site Plan for a proposed YMCA - Lot 19-D, Vincit Street and Little Kidwell Avenue
o
Kevin Shearon, DMS & Associates, Inc.; Robbie Gill, CEO for YMCA of the Chesapeake; and Bill Sieg,
Becker Morgan Architects were in attendance and provided the following information:
r
The site is located on Vincit Street just south of the Queen Anne's County Planning and Zoning office
building. The property is 18.78 acres and is zoned primarily C-2. The proposal is for a 52,400 square
foot YMCA facility with indoor swimming pool, wellness/senior center, daycare, and gymnasium.
.
A majority of the parking is to the side and rear of the building with a small amount of parking in the
front. Two access points on Vincit Street will provide traffic circulation for the site.
' Maximum occupancy for this building is close to 800 people which would translate the amount of parking
required by the Town of Centreville code to 391 spaces which is far in excess of what is needed bythe
YMCA. There are provisions in the code to allow the Planning Commission the ability to reduce the
number of parking spaces required. 234 spaces are shown on the site plan.
o
Mr. McCluskey stated this is a unique use that is serving the community, having this minimal amount of
parking in front of the building is realistic.
o
The YMCA will work with Queen Anne's County concerning the construction of a Little Kidwell Avenue
extension to Vincit Street.
o
A right-of-way for future use across the rear portion of the properfy, phasing of parking lots and site
lighting to be shown in future submittals.

Miscellaneous Business / Correspondence
a Kip Matthews, Director of Public Works stated two companies approached the Town to install fiber for Town
residents. This is not a Town project but staff worked very hard to create a permit process to allow installation of
utilities in the right-of-way. This permit was to protect not only the Town's infrastructure but other infrastructure
already in place by other utilities. One of the companies has begun installing in the Northbrook neighborhood.
Both companies have shared ideas that they do want to supply serice to the remainder of the town. Utility poles
are owned by Delmarva Power and Verizon. The fiber companies would have to acquire permission from the
pole owner to place fiber there, a pole is not a right-of-way.
