Update on Farquhar land 'swap' property

This past week I spoke with a staff member of the Montgomery County Planning Department to get an update on the Pulte property which may be the subject of the ‘land swap’ for construction of the new Farquhar Middle School. The Planning Department has received the plats for the development from the engineer for Pulte, the developers and owners of the property. Staff reviewed the plats and determined that the plats do comply with the Preliminary Plan and with the Site Plan. This is not a recordation of the plats; those have to be approved by the Director of the Department of Permitting Services (DPS). That process can take up to 3-4 weeks.

The Planning Board is scheduled to hear the staff report on Thursday, February 9th, 2012. The item is on the Consent Agenda, which means it will be part of a group of items the Planning Board will hear and vote on. Usually there is no discussion with Consent Agenda items.

The Planning Board agenda for February 9th is here. The staff report is also up on the Planning Board website, you can read it here.
