My apologies. This is the first time in the 14 years i have been on the Planning Commission that the town commissioners have proposed an amendment to the zoning ordinance. Every other time it's been the other way around! So guess we will have a discussion on the amendment on December 19th and then make our recommendation to the Town Commissioners. Whether or not you want to be there is up to you. i still think a FAQ sheet for us to hand out might help calm down some of the rhetoric in town. if you can get that to Crissy (the town clerk) before the Dec. 19th meeting, we will see that copies are made available to those who show up that night. Thanks for pointing out to me that the Planning Commission has to review the proposed amendment to the zoning ordnance. Let me know if you have any other concerns.

Can you please see the attached? It says that amendments to the zoning ordinance originated by Town Commissioners must be sent to the Planning Commission for a report.

From: Susan Elter Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2019 5:06 PM To: townadmin@atlanticbbn.net Subject: Re: Racetrack? Hi Jo, have some concerns with the zoning for the Pastrana project. The portion of the Leager farm that is on the east side of the railroad track is zoned multiple use but the portion on the west side of the track is zoned single family. If the Pastrana project is considered outdoor commercial amusement, there is nothing in the table of permitted uses for that in the SF district. i was planning on suggesting for that line in the table of permitted uses. Also, why did the town commissioners decide to add the language for a detention center to Fire or Rescue Service rather than Public or Governmental Building? The definition for Government facility certainly fits the detention center. Sue Sent from my iPhone On Dec 10, 2019, at 2:12 PM, wrote: Hi Mr. Mrs. Schmidt. The motocross track project is being reviewed by the Planning Commission over the next few months as the site plan is developed. The Town does not have a requirement to notify abutting property owners of development, they can make notification as a courtesy. Since there is not a change to the zoning ordinance to allow this project, there is no need for a public hearing. The procedure for a project like this is as follows: review and approval with a possibility of specified conditions by the Planning Commission; review and approval by the County for erosion control, impact fees, and Fire Marshall; review and approval by SHA for entrance to a state road; review and approval by the Town's Engineer and Utility Coordinator for approval of design and connection of water and sewer; and - review and approval by the Town's inspection Agency for approval of design with regards to acceptable code standards. Once all of these approvals are received and any questions/concerns addressed, the Town Zoning Officer will then approve all permits and allow the project to begin. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. i will try to help in any capacity. Have a nice day.

To answer your question, a Delegate from Montgomery County has said he plans to introduce a bill this year that would disallow private illegal immigrant detainee detention centers. The legislature comes back to Annapolis January 8. Whether or not this bill would pass is anyone?s guess at this point, and we will have a better idea in March or early Aprii. Will the Planning Commission be issuing its positive report to the Town Commission before the Jan. 8 hearing on the bill? Thanks for all of your help. Bernie Bernie Cornerstone Government Affairs Vice President 410.501.5032 202.744.8933 On Dec 21, 2019, at 9:31 AM, Susan Elter wrote: Hi Bernie, The meeting went okay. At the beginning I announced that had withdrawn its interest in a detention center because ICE had not issued a RFP due to the budget uncertainty. Therefore, no one from the detention center was in attendance and so not available to answer any questions. At that point a lot of the crowd left. We did our usual business, then I opened the meeting for public comment and stated that town residents would be allowed to speak first. No town residents spoke. Then the non?residents spoke. Jay Falstad (Queen Anne's Conservation group) wanted to know if the Town Commissioners would vote on the Zoning ordinance change at the public hearing in January. Ron Ford said it depended on the situation at the time of the hearing. Raven Bishop, a resident of Church Hill asked to read a prepared statement on the detention center as she would not be able to be present at the public hearing. We allowed her to read her statement. it was an emotional appeal to not allow a detention center where children would die from lack of medical attention like 34 children have died at the holding facilities at the border. When she finished, I pointed out that there would be no children at our detention facility and that about 50 of the employees would be medical personnel. One other person asked when our meeting times were and another couple asked about the deeded open space provision on the Cal Gray property. I referred them to the town attorney as i did not know the status on that. Then the Planning Commission reviewed the zoning ordinance and, except for a change on the date of the Planning Commission review, referred the ordinance back to the Town Commissioners for action. Then we adjourned. I saw a lot of people at the meeting that I know do not live in town. I heard that there's a lot of chatter on Facebook about the detention center. also heard that there is a law in the Maryland legislature right now that would ban privately owned detention centers. Do you know if this is true? Ron Ford is going to contact Steven Arentz, our representative, to see what is going on.

First, would like to express their sincere gratitude to the entire Sudlersville community. We all have been quite impressed by your desire to drive investment and economic development, create employment opportunities for your citizens, and by the transparency you have exhibited in all of your communications with and me. Unfortunately, ICA is compelled to formally pause its plans to construct a new facility in your community due to circumstances beyond our control. Unfortunately, it appears as though the current Federal budget impasse will cause a substantial delay in the Federal government's ability to solicit for a new facility in the State of Maryland. This delay has hindered ICA's expansion efforts and will cause ICA to pause plans to construct a new facility in Sudlersville. At this point, will not be moving forward with purchasing land in Sudlersville. Therefore, there will not be representatives from at the Dec. 19 or Jan. 8 meetings. is extremely thankful for the exceptional business friendly partnership demonstrated by Sudlersville. Should the Federal government budget situation be reconciled so a facility is possible, would welcome the opportunity to partner with Sudlersville to pursue its investment in your community. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks.

Also, thanks to Tom, Beth, Peter Bourne, and Peter Johnston for attending. I appreciate you all taking time from your busy schedules to discuss this opportunity. There were several questions that I wanted to answer for the group. 1. Several folks asked if there were any drawings to show how a potential facility would look. Attached are model images that were prepared for a similar RF in Illinois. These images will give you a better image of a potential facility. 2. Commissioner Comegys asked how long has been in operation in Virginia. ICA has been transporting detainees for ICE since 2008, and the Farmville detention facility was opened in 2010. 3. Commissioner Leager asked about the approximate size of a facility. estimates a facility would be approximately 125,000-150,000 square feet. As we discussed, the land needed is approximately 30-40 acres, but the properties available in Sudlersville are each over 90 acres. 4. One of the Commissioners asked about married detainees. Men and women detainees are never in contact with each other at this type of facility. If a married couple was detained at one facility, the man and woman would be held in separate sections of the facility. 5. Peter Jonnston asked where the current employees of the Farmville facility live with respect to the facility. is working to get an answer to this, and I will circulate it when I receive the answer. 6. Peter also asked if we knew which and how many businesses (restaurant, gas station, etc.) developed around the Farmville facility. has already contracted with an independent ?rm to conduct this study, and expects to have a report in the next few weeks. Thanks again for meeting with us. If I can answer any more questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks.

Good afternoon. I talked to the Town's attorney about the zoning issue for the Cal Gray property. He stated we needed to do a text amendment because detention facilities are considered institutional. So what do I need to present to the PC this week for this change. Do we want to extend the commercial ?oating zone, which I still think makes more sense because it allows for anything to be considered. So if we are going to extend this zone what is it I need this? I would like to present at least a draft of the amendments at Thursday night?s meeting to get this ball rolling. Here's another project that may come to Sudlersville, on the 300 property which is the annexed property on the north end of Town. I am meeting with a realtor and agents of a company that would like to construct a moto-cross track on that property. So I may need to extend the ?oating zone to cover that property too. If I extend the ?oating zone to cover both properties I only need to share the moto-cross track and keep the other project con?dential at this point.

Action Items: Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance was introduced, copies are available upon request. A public hearing will be held at the January meeting. Changes to the zoning ordinance 2019?05 were read. Zoning Administrator- Charles Leager made a motion to appoint Dave Rufner Temporary Zoning Administrator, it was seconded by Larry Leonard. Amended FY 2019 Budget Resolution has been put on hold to clarify dates. Public Comment: Cannon asked what the new projects are she is hearing about, President Ron Ford told her about the Farmville Center and the tour he and Dave Rufner got of in Farmville VA. This facility will bring more monies to the town, and possibly make it so that the fee for Town water and sewer will not have to be raised over the next 5 possibly 10 years. He explained that this center was a civil holding center, very well maintained, with great medical staff, food, and security. The people housed here during detention are kept here between 50 and 75 days. They met with the mayor of Farmville, he told them he was adamantly against this facility at first but has since come around it has been the best thing that has happened to their town. The mayor also states there has been no escapes and no trouble from this facility. in fact, most residents of the town donot even know what this facility is, that?s how unobtrusive it is. This facility has done nothing but good for their town as it will ours. These centers will offer high paying jobs (about 200 to 250) to the town and surrounding areas. They have their own security, medical staff, cooks, house keeping Not a federally run facility but a federally paid wage facility. Mrs. Cannon then asked about the project for the other end of town, President Ford explained this is an entertainment project. That will bring commerce and put the Town of Sudlersville on the map, It is a rally/ motor cross project. Faye Williams spoke next with her comments, concerns, and grievances. She does not think the townspeople have been informed correctly and need clarification, President Ford explained that the people involved with this project would be at the next commissioners meeting for a question and answer session. Mrs. Faye also stated that she did not think that a fee increase, and a tax increase were the same thing. The commission passed both of these and she does not feel this can be done. She also commented on the way meeting were held to introduce the prospective new project from the she feels she being on the commission was blind sided by the news at the Planning Commission meeting and could not accurately respond to the project. She also asked if the Commissioner Workshop meetings were published? President Ford requested the clerk Crissy Talty to make sure they were and if not to please post the day and time on the Town?s website. Chris Stant spoke, he let the Commissioner's know the report given on the new project was lacking. There are no facts to substantiate the findings. Are the citizens expected to go off the word of the commissioners? Need more information on the project. Peter Bourne from KCI indicated that people to answer the questions would be at the planning commission meeting.

Although you can waive a fee if you find that the information sought is in the public interest, you are not required to do 50.

However, please note that the Public Information Act does not allow the Town to charge a fee for the first two hours that are needed to search for the public records and to prepare them for inspection. If the time involved to respond to the request is less than two hours, the fee waiver request is moot. Thomas N. Yeager, Esquire Law Office of Thomas N. Yeager 203 Maple Avenue PO.

First, ICA would like to express their sincere gratitude to the entire Sudlersville community. We all have been quite impressed by your desire to drive investment and economic development, create employment opportunities for your citizens, and by the transparency you have exhibited in all of your communications with ICA and me. Unfortunately, ICA is compelled to formally pause its plans to construct a new facility in your community due to circumstances beyond our control. Unfortunately, it appears as though the current Federal budget impasse will cause a substantial delay in the Federal government's ability to solicit for a new facility in the State of Maryland. This delay has hindered lCA's expansion efforts and will cause ICA to pause plans to construct a new facility in Sudlersville. At this point, ICA will not be moving forward with purchasing land in Sudlersville. Therefore, there will not be representatives from ICA at the Dec. 19 or Jan. 8 meetings. is extremely thankful for the exceptional business friendly partnership demonstrated by Sudlersville. Should the Federal government budget situation be reconciled so a facility is possible, ICA would welcome the opportunity to partner with Sudlersville to pursue its investment in your community. if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks.

We will do that under New Business because the Planning Commission needs to review the zoning ordinance amendment presented at the last Town Commissioners meeting. Under Article 13-2, when the Town Commissioners propose a change to the zoning ordinance, the Planning Commission needs to report its recommendations to the Town Commissioners including any additions or modifications to the original proposal. This is covered under the item for "Discussion of permitted uses for Single Family Residential." So Crissy, could you make sure that copies of the proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance are put into each Planning Commission member's notebook? Thanks.

ICA indicated that they wanted to come discuss the detention center and at last month's meeting, the people building the race track said that Mr. Pastrana wanted to come to discuss his plans for the race track. Can we put one of them off until January 2nd? Has the Pastrana group contacted you to be put on the agenda for Dec. 19? Same with the ICA group? Do you have any sense as to which one is further along in their planning? I want to be fair to both sets of developers and give each group the full attention they deserve. That might not be possible if we get a big crowd on Dec. 19. What do you know about the possibility of both groups wanting to present on the 19th?

The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed change to the Zoning Ordinance at our meeting on December 19, 2019. A change to the date that the Planning Commission reviewed the ordinance is recommended to reflect the review on December 19, 2019. Otherwise, the Planning Commission returns Town Ordinance 2019-5 to the Town Commissioners for action. Susan Y. Elter Chair, Planning Commission Town of Sudlersville Planning Commission Meeting December 19, 2019 Call the meeting to order Pledge of Allegiance Acknowledgement of guests. Those in attendance were Ron Ford, Peter Bourne, Carrie Comegys, Mike Arentz from Senator Andy Ha rris?s office, Jay Falstad, and many other guests and children. Minutes from November 17, 2019 meeting were approved with corrections. Motion to accept amended minutes made by Reese Coleman seconded by Faye William motion accepted by a vote of 5?0. Sue Elter announced to guest and that had backed out due to no Federal budget standoff/ non passing they have withdrawn interest in Sudlersville, and the Pastra na projects were not. Most left. Jay Falstad asked if the ordinance would still be changed, Sue stated that the Planning Commission has 60 days to make changes and recommendations to the Commissioner?s and that questions about that could be answered during the public hearing on January the 8th'and the Planning Commission would not accept public comment about an issue they knew nothing about. Reports: Code Enforcement No new violations Building Permits? no new permits Old Business: No old business. New Business: Sue requested Crissy drop off resolved issues from the reports for future review, not to add the rental permit report as the Planning Commission has nothing to do with this. A motion to additional meeting at the beginning of the month as needed was made by Molly Lukehart second by Kimble a vote was entered 50 passed. The Planning Commission reviewed the Table of permitted uses, deciding to fill in the blanks under each category so it could be reported to the Commission and would be ready when new prospective projects were interested. The holes can be filled with for Conditional, for Exception, for not allowed, for Permitted. Additions are reflected in the report to be recommended to the Commission for a vote. Sue had a map that was made in 2007 when the housing development was thought to be coming to Sudlersville. This map is a way to move traffic away from the center of town, and the planning commission may want to have this already in place so potential developers would be responsible for building it. Sue Elter is checking to see if the map was recorded by the County. Table for discussion at next meeting. Public Comment ?Jay Falstad insisted on coming to the front saying he was asking the Planning Commission about Ordinance 2019?05 when he was recognized he addressed the Commissioner?s in the audience and not the Planning Commissioner?s, he was told this was a Planning meeting and if he wanted to address the commissioners to attend the next scheduled meeting. Kristine Hyland from Church Hill shared information on other detention center incidences. Michelle Beville asked about the Norwood deeded open space, Chair Sue explained this would be a question for the Town?s attorney and directed her to speak with Tom Yeager. Adjournment With no further business to address, a motion to adjourn the meeting was made at 8:45 by Faye Williams, a second by Kimble, a vote of 5?0 was entered.

Yeager, Esq.; ?Peter Johnston'; Beth Hussein Peter Bourne Cc: Joseph Stevens Subject: ICA update Town of Sudlersville Commissioners, Planning Commissioners, and staff, 1 wanted to provide an update to you regarding Immigration Centers of America?s efforts in Sudlersville. First, ICA would like to express their sincere gratitude to the entire Sudlersville community. We all have been quite impressed by your desire to drive investment and economic development, create employment opportunities for your citizens, and by the transparency you have exhibited in all of your communications with ICA and me. Unfortunately, ICA is compelled to formally pause its plans to construct a new facility in your community due to circumstances beyond our control. Unfortunately, it appears as though the current Federal budget impasse will cause a substantial delay in the Federal government's ability to solicit for a new facility in the State of Maryland. This delay has hindered lCA's expansion efforts and will cause ICA to pause plans to construct a new facility in Sudlersville. At this point, ICA will not be moving forward with purchasing land in Sudlersville. Therefore, there will not be representatives from ICA at the Dec. 19 or Jan. 8 meetings. ICA is extremely thankful for the exceptional business friendly partnership demonstrated by Sudlersville. Should the Federal government budget situation be reconciled so a facility is possible, ICA would welcome the opportunity to partner with Sudlersville to pursue its investment in your community. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks.
