While I agree with the commissioners’ new tactics, I would hope that the three commissioners who in the past have wanted more acreage in Tier 4 are not using this delay and law suit proposal as their tactic to miss the 12/31 deadline for a submittal of a map by the county as you suggest. County staff provided a draft, draft 6, based on the meeting with the State Department of Planning in August and it shows 75 percent of the county in Tier 4. Videos of this meeting and the Commissions meeting where the vote was held can be viewed from links on the Cecil County Patriots and the Cecil County Townhall Facebook pages.

FYI: For some reason Harford County has a similar map, in percentage of their county in Tier 4, as does our draft 6, which is apparently their proposed submittal map. It can be found at their Planning and Zoning Internet site.

Fortunately, before the December 31st deadline, we will have charter government which will allow the executive to correct any error on the part of the present Board of Commissioners. At the CCP candidate forum it was not clear to me the position on SB236 held by all of the candidates. With this new position of the Board of Commissioners, we citizens need to know each candidate’s position on this issue; and not submitting a Tier Map is not an option.
