MINUTES OF THE
HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY
March 5, 2025
The Washington County Historic District Commission held its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday,
March 5, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in the Washington County Administrative Complex, 100 W Washington Street,
Room 2001, Hagerstown, MD.
CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
The Chairman called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
Commission members present were: Greg Smith, Chairman; Lloyd Yavener, Vice -Chair; Ann Aldrich;
Michael Lushbaugh, Brianna Candalaria and Tyler Milam. Staff members present were: Washington
County Department of Planning & Zoning: Meghan Jenkins, GIS Coordinator and HDC Staff member.
MINI ITFC
Motion and Vote: Ms. Aldrich made a motion to approve the minutes of the November 6, 2024 meeting
as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Yavener and unanimously approved.
NEW BUSINESS
RZ-25-001 — 6821 Sharpsburg Pike
Ms. Jenkins presented a rezoning application for property located at 6821 Sharpsburg Pike. The owners
are requesting the application of the Rural Business (RB) floating zone over 1.68 acres of land in the
Preservation zoning district with the Antietam 2 overlay. Ms. Jenkins noted there is currently a MET
(Maryland Environmental Trust) easement on the property which was not referenced in the current deed.
To date, there have been no comments from MET regarding this application. She stated that a new
building was constructed on the property as an ag building; however, the owners have been running a
business out of said building without permits which is not allowed without the proper zoning on the
property.
Discussion and Comments: Members discussed vegetative screening of the building from the road so it
does not detract from the viewshed. They also discussed the outdoor storage of equipment and any
signage that may be used. Ms. Jenkins stated that if/when the owners apply for a sign permit, the permit
application would be reviewed by the HDC because the property is located within the Antietam 2 overlay
zone. She will recommend in her comments to the Planning Commission, that the owners should follow
the Design Guidelines for signage. Members believe the deed should be updated to include the MET
easement. Members discussed the RB overlay being extinguished on properties within the AO1 and AO2
zoning districts when the property is sold. This issue would need to be discussed with the Zoning
Administrator and would require a text amendment to the County's adopted Zoning Ordinance.
Consensus: Ms. Jenkins will provide a letter to the Planning Commission with the following
recommendations:
• Owners should provide substantial vegetative screening to minimize visibility of the business
building from the roadway.
• The RB overlay should not applied any closer to the roadway than depicted on the application.
• If/when signage is erected, the property owners should adhere to the County's adopted Design
Guidelines.
• To the extent feasible, all business -related storage should be kept to the rear of the building.
• In response to #4 of the application, the MET easement and scenic value should be mentioned.
• The owners should consider updating the property deed to include the MET easement.
• The nearby RB overlay was in existence and is more appropriately buffered from the viewshed.
OTHER BUSINESS
HTC-24-002 — Williamson —1004 The Terrace
Ms. Jenkins stated that Mr. Williamson provided equivalent documentation from the State of Maryland
MHT Tax Credit application for additional tax credits on his property located at 1004 The Terrace. The
project included the installation of gutter guards over the existing gutters that are minimally visible from
the ground.
Certified Local Government Annual Report
Ms. Jenkins announced that the Annual Report has been submitted with updated information that was
provided by the members.
AP2024-053 — 21406 Mount Lena Road
Ms. Jenkins stated that a letter was sent to the Board of Zoning Appeals with the Commission's comments
regarding the special exception for a contractor storage yard at the above location. Members reviewed
this request via e-mail and a consensus to comment was received from Mr. Bedard, Mr. Milam, Mr. Smith,
Ms. Aldrich and Ms. Candalaria.
Preservation Month 2025
Members discussed several ideas for Preservation Month including the following:
• continue the Love Historic theme — challenge citizens to take photos of their favorite
historic structures around the County and submit them on Facebook/Instagram to be
posted to the County's website
• have HDC members take a photo of themselves at their favorite historic structure
• have an updated group photo of members at a historic structure
• coordinate with the HAC project
• have a Preservation Maryland presentation
• have a photo scavenger hunt of historic structures
• cross promote a geo-cash trail
• host a Museum Trail in 2026
Grimes — 7661 Dam Number 4 Road
Ms. Jenkins explained that the Grimes family purchased Woburn Manor late last year. The insurance
company was concerned by the HP overlay and the implications of what would be required if a
catastrophic event took place and the historic structure was lost. Would the structure have to be rebuilt
exactly as it was? Ms. Jenkins provided a letter explaining review authority of the HDC, the use of modern
materials, and that the HP overlay could be removed, if necessary.
Staff Report
• A written report of staff reviews for the past month was provided to members in the agenda
packets.
• 250th Update: The historic subcommittee continues to meet and review historic dates of events.
The County will be holding a July 4th celebration at the County's Ag Center. There will be a drone
show, live music and vendors. The Historic Subcommittee is also working on a publication with
the help of the municipalities to obtain facts about historic places, people and events.
• September 6th there will be a celebration for the County's anniversary. Members suggested that
the HDC should have a booth at this event.
• Historic Structures Grant Update: The County Attorney 's Office has determined that State
legislation will be required. This will be on hold until October 2025 when new priorities for
legislation will be set.
• The first draft of the MOU for Town permit reviews was sent to members. No Towns have been
approached about the MOU. This will be on the agenda again for the April meeting.
• Price's Bridge is listed in the County's CIP; however, it is listed for complete demolition.
• Comprehensive Plan Update: The Planning Commission has recommended keeping the
Preservation Policy Areas on the Land Use Map. They also recommended that the Environmental
Conservation Policy Area should be 100' from the centerline of the stream. The Planning
Commission voted to forward the draft document with the most recent changes as listed above
to the Board of County Commissioners.
• A letter has been submitted to the CLG Training Program signed by the County Commissioner
President John Barr to have a successful application by Preservation Maryland to hold some
workshops with the Campaign for Historic Trade Staff or other historic trades people in
Washington County.
• Financial Disclosures are due on April 30, 2025. Please submit them electronically or by mail to
our offices.

Applicable Law and Review Criteria:
The HDC is enabled through Article 20 of the Zoning Ordinance for Washington County, MD. Specifically
Section 20.3.a states: "The Commission shall act upon all applications as required by Section 20.6,
Historic Preservation district, Section 5D.4, Rural Village District and Article 20A, Antietam Overlay
District of this Ordinance."

architectural significance of the site or structure, any portion of which is visible or intended to be visible
from a public way. It does not consider any interior arrangements, although interior changes may still be

subject to building permit procedures.
1. The application shall be approved by the HDC if it is consistent with the following criteria:
A. The proposal does not substantially alter the exterior features of the structure.
B. The proposal is compatible in character and nature with the historical, cultural, architectural, or
archeological features of the site, structure, or district and would not be detrimental to
achievement of the purposes of Article 20 of the County Zoning Ordinance.
C. The proposal would enhance or aid in the protection, preservation and public or private
utilization of the site or structure, in a manner compatible with its historical, archeological,
architectural, or cultural value.
D. The proposal is necessary so that unsafe conditions or health hazards are remedied.
E. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating
Historic Buildings and subsequent revisions are to be used as guidance only and are not to be
considered mandatory.
In reviewing the plans for any such construction or change, the HDC shall give consideration to and
not disapprove an application except with respect to the factors specified below.
A. The historic or architectural value and significance of the site or structure and its relationship to
the historic or architectural value and significance of the surrounding area.
B. The relationship of the exterior architectural features of the structure to the remainder of the
structure and to the surrounding area.
C. The general compatibility of exterior design, scale, proportion, arrangement, texture, and
materials proposed to be used.
D. Any other factors, including aesthetic factors, that the Commission deems to be pertinent.
The HDC shall be strict in its judgment of plans for those structures, sites, or districts deemed to be
valuable according to studies performed for districts of historic or architectural value. The HDC
shall be lenient in its judgment of plans involving new construction, unless such plans would
seriously impair the historic or architectural value of surrounding structures.
Applicable Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation:
• A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal
change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
• The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of
distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a
property will be avoided.
• Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes
that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or
elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken.
• Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained
and preserved.
• Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship
that characterize a property will be preserved.
• Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in
design, color, texture and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be
substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.

Washington County Design Guidelines for Roofs (P.66)
• Avoid altering the roof pitch and shape.
• Exposed roof rafters and soffits should not be cut back.
The size, color, reflectivity, reveal, and material of roofing and flashing should be maintained
through repair. If replacement is necessary, roofing materials should have similar
characteristics.
Missing or severely damaged towers, dormers, finials, cresting, chimneys and other character -
defining roof elements should be replaced based on documentary or photographic evidence. If
no evidence of the appearance of the element exists, a new element should be designed to be
compatible with the overall character of the building.
New skylights, mechanical and service -related equipment or pipes, chimneys or other
projections, including solar panels should be located so that they are not visible from a public
right-of-way. If able, roof mounting of mechanical equipment and solar panels should be
avoided. If ground mounted these systems should still not be visible from the public right-of-
way.
• Existing dormers should not be resized or have architectural features diminished.
Preservation Brief #4 — Roofin& for Historic Buildin&s
Note: Staff did not include the Design Guidelines for Windows (P.63) or Porches (P.68) but these may be
referenced by members as well in their discussions.
Staff Report:
This parcel is located approximately .4 miles south of the intersection of Rowe Road and Smithsburg Pike
(State Route 64) on the East side of Smithsburg Pike. The permit is associated with all portions of the
house which is a multi -part stone dwelling. The dwelling's main portion is 2 -story stone construction with
a date stone of 1810 in the west end wall. Extending to the north of the main portion, is a 1 14 -story three
bay stone cabin built over a large spring. This spring emerges into a large stone walled pond behind the
house. According to the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties (MIHP) documentation, it is estimated
this northern portion was built in the late 18t" century and was traditionally known or associated with
"Peter Mong's Cabin". There is also a stone portion extending east of the main portion that is 1 %2 -story
five bay wing that was built in 2 stages (the cottage).
The portion of work for this permit that is reviewable by the HDC includes the return/addition of a dormer
to the cottage section on both of its roof faces. The proposed construction of the dormers will be the
same roofing materials as proposed for the overall new roof and the siding will be German wood lap. The
structure previously had at least one dormer in the documentation photos from the 1970's in the same
location as the one proposed. The owners have not decided on final window placement in the dormers
but they have indicated a wood window similar to the construction of those existing in the remainder of
the house may be used and possibly located on the end of the dormer. The project also proposes the
rebuild of the front stoop. The owners uncovered the foundation of the original stoop in their stabilization
project. The stone portion has already been rebuilt for the base of the stoop during the stabilization
project. The remainder of construction will be mahogany of the same construction as the previous porch
rebuild (2024-00996). The stoops roof pitch will be reconstructed using the outline still visible on the stone

facade and will be similar in ornamentation for posts, rails and pickets to that of the Newcomer House
porch upon completion. Existing wood windows of the house are being repaired rather than replaced as
project timing and resources allow. No replacement of existing windows is proposed. The roof is to be a
standing seam aluminum metal roof. The chimneys are also to be rebuilt as needed during roofing work.
Staff Analysis:
The work proposed by this phase of the project (roofing, stoop and dormers), favors the themes of the SOI
Standards of Rehabilitation which include repair when feasible and replacement with in -kind materials
when necessary, using evidence of the past such as photos, in the case of the dormer, or the outline of the
porch in the case of the stoop. The application seeks to improve the usable space of the structure by
providing the needed headroom in the cottage area. The proposed work follows the County's Design
Guidelines for Roofs to ensure cohesive, sound, similar roofing material, repair of damaged chimneys and
trim materials rather than replacement and replacing a prior dormer to improve the livable space.
Materials consistent with those appropriate the construction of the house will also be used for any
necessary replacements.
Staff Recommendation:
Recommend approval of residential addition -alteration permit 2025-00632, which includes the rebuild of
the front stoop, replacement of the existing metal roofing with an aluminum standing seam roof, the
reconstruction of previous dormers on the cottage and other related work as stated in the permit
description for the reasons stated in the Staff Analysis.

Guidelines for New Construction and Accessory Buildings
1. New construction should be sited to avoid demolition of contributing structures.
2. The design of new construction or new accessory buildings should be compatible with the form,
height, scale, proportions, materials and details of the adjacent contributing structures or landscapes.
3. Consideration of the ratio of built versus open space of the site or the adjacent landscape should be
given.
4. Existing setbacks, landscaping or site grading of adjacent historic resources should be preserved
when siting new construction if those characteristics contribute to the historic site or its landscape. This
includes circulation routes, fences, walls, and yards, etc.
5. Locate new construction and new accessory buildings so that the existing significant visual and
special characteristics of the property are maintained.
6. Locate new construction and new accessory buildings so that significant viewsheds are maintained or
enhanced.
7. See also Key Themes. (p. 57)
Staff Report:
This project is in the Cavetown Rural Village which is located primarily at the intersection of Mapleville
Road and Cavetown Church Road directly west of the Town of Smithsburg. The rural village survey
district contains 59 contributing resources and 10 non-contributing for a total of 69 items surveyed.
Most of the contributing resources are buildings within the district's period of significance ranging from
1820 to 1950. The primary criteria for significance for the National Register according to the MIHP
nomination would be "Criteria C" though this district has not been placed on the National Register at
this time. Most of that architecture is vernacular and typically 2 stories in height. This project is located
to the west of the intersection of Old Georgetown Road and Mapleville Road. The site was previously
improved with a mobile home which was removed and listed in the survey documentation as outside
the period of significance. The existing block garage is to be retained. The property was recently
subdivided (S-24-033, MSA#11853) to divide 22429 Goose Street (a contributing structure) and this
property onto their own respective lots as historically used.
The plot plan for this project proposes construction set back approximately 50 feet from Old
Georgetown Road to place the building in line with the southern facade of the existing garage. Most
structures that do contribute to Cavetown's survey are located between 15 and 30 feet from the edge
of the roadway. However, this structures proposed set back meets current zoning requirements and is
closer to the previous mobile home's set back. The orientation of the building is consistent with the
surrounding structures, having its front entrance facing Old Georgetown Road. The structures size of
approximately 30 feet wide and 40 feet deep is consistent with other structures within the Rural
Village. The proposed 2 -story form is also prevalent in Cavetown. The proposed structures materials
include vinyl siding and asphalt shingles, both of which can be found in this rural village. The roof pitch,
as well as the door and window arrangement are not inconsistent with the adjacent contributing
structures.

HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
Staff Analysis:
This project is consistent with the applicable SOI Standards for Rehabilitation in that the new work is
compatible and does not destroy any historic materials or spatial relationships. The environment would
also be unimpaired by its removal in the future. The project is consistent with the County Design
Guidelines for Historic Structures for New Construction and Section 5D.5 Architectural Review of the
Washington County Zoning Ordinance in that it does not impact existing contributing historic
structures, the design is compatible in form, scale, proportion, and materials. The setbacks are
consistent with the previous structure on the property and current zoning regulations as well as
distinguishing this structure from the contributing structures in the district.
Staff Recommendation:
Recommend Approval of the Residential New Construction Permit/Stick Built Home, 2025-00909,
located in Cavetown Historic Rural Village based on the information provided in the Staff Report and
the Staff Analysis.

HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
Staff Report:
This structure is on the Washington County Historic Sites Inventory/MIHP as a large frame house, WA -
1437, with survey documentation completed in 1978. The documentation for the property includes only
the T-shaped main house. The property also consists of several outbuildings and a secondary dwelling.
These additional structures are not proposed for demolition with this permit. This structure is located
at the end of a long gravel driveway and is secluded behind tree rows which flank the property on all
but the eastern most side which slopes down toward Colonial Park East subdivision. The structure faces
west and includes a deep overhanging two-story porch supported by massive columns. The inventory
information has very little regarding the history of the property and the construction time period is not
fully known. There is a conflict in the owner's statement at the time of last documentation that the
property was "Pre -Civil War", but the appearance is of an early 20th century structure. Several of the
outbuildings and the additional dwelling appear to be early 20th century as well. The roof is slate and in
decent condition, however, there does appear to be significant deferred maintenance and changes to
the exterior since documentation. These include the enclosure of the front door, the enclosure of the
south facing two story porch and various exterior moldings and trims which are failing including
portions of the front porch columns. Staff sent a standard letter to the demolition contractor who has
indicated they will pursue salvage where possible, however, at the time of email on 3/25/2025 no
interested parties have come forward requesting materials. No contact with the owner has been made
for this permit. There is a Preliminary Consultation (PC -24-005) which occurred for the property on July
9, 2023, for proposed new construction of 52 semi-detached dwelling units on the 12.85 acres. The
minutes for that meeting which staff attended, are attached for reference. Staff resent the initial
contact letter requesting details for the structure as certified mail on March 26, 2025.
Staff Analysis:
This permit application has insufficient information for review by the Historic District Commission. The
owner/contractor has not supplied any information to determine the historic value of the property
ahead of demolition. Demolition alternatives have not been examined by the owner and supplied to
staff. The requests made by staff at the time of Preliminary Consultation have not been followed or
addressed via this demolition permit.

Staff Recommendation:
Recommend review of demolition permit 2025-01080 be tabled until the property owner can supply
adequate information related to the demolition permit review criteria outlined in the Design Guidelines
for Historic Structures with strong encouragement to delay demolition until an approved plan exists for
the property.

PRELIMINARY CONSULTATION
PC -24-005 — Beryl Wieland Age Restricted Residential Concept
A preliminary consultation was held on July 9, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at the Washington County
Administrative Annex, 747 Northern Avenue, Conference Room 124, Hagerstown, MD. A concept plan
was presented for the proposed new construction of 52 semi-detached dwelling units on 12.85 acres.
The property is located at 1230 Mt. Aetna Road and is currently zoned RS (Residential Suburban).
The following were in attendance: Washington County Department of Planning & Zoning: Misty Wagner -
Grillo, Planner; Adam Tressler, GIS Technician; Travis Allen, Senior Planner; Meghan Jenkins, GIS
Coordinator and staff to the Historic District Commission; and Debra Eckard, Office Manager; Washington
County Division of Engineering: Rebecca Calimer, Chief of Plan Review and Heather Williams, Senior Plan
Reviewer and Flood Plain Manager; State Highway Administration: Chris Reed, District 6, Access Permits;
Fred Fredericks, Frederick, Seibert & Associates, engineer/consultant; and Doug Karn, Berkshire Hathaway
Realty.
Department of Planning & Zoning
Ms. Wagner -Grillo stated that a HOA will be required for maintenance of the open spaces. She asked
what type of open spaces are planned. Mr. Karn stated the open spaces will be kept simple and would
probably include walking trails. Ms. Wagner -Grillo noted that sidewalks and screening are recommended.
She asked if any signage is proposed. Mr. Frederick believes there will be a small sign at the entrance.
Forest Conservation
Mr. Allen noted there are no plans at this time for forest easements. For high -density residential projects
such as this one, a portion of the forest conservation requirements should be accomplished on -site if at
all possible. Street trees offer one option of accomplishing mitigation on -site if there isn't room for a larger
forest easement. Mr. Frederick stated there is no existing forest on the site; however, a portion of the on -
site forest conservation would be accomplished using street trees and in a 35 -foot screening buffer around
the perimeter. The remaining mitigation would be met using the payment -in -lieu of planting option. Mr.
Allen stated that the landscaping for the buffering must be on a separate parcel and not on the back of
individual lots.
Washinaton County Historic District Commission
Ms. Jenkins explained there is a historic structure on the property that is listed on the Washington County
Inventory as well as the Maryland Inventory of Historic Places. Documentation suggests this structure is
pre -Civil War or of the Civil War era. The HDC would recommend that alternatives to demolition of the
structure should be explored, including site integration. Alternatives are listed in the Design Guidelines
found on the County's website. If the site design cannot accommodate retention of the structure, the HDC
recommends updated documentation because of the structure's age. It is also recommended that a Phase
I archaeological study be completed. Justification for non -retention of the structure will be required if it
is to be demolished. The HDC prefers that the project goes through the site plan process prior to applying
for a demolition permit.
Division of Engineering
Ms. Calimer stated that the stub off of North Colonial Drive does not show up as part of the County's road
network; however, the Real Property Administrator is researching the issue. Mr. Frederick believes the
road is shown on a plat with an offer of dedication, but he is not sure if the road was accepted by the
County. It appears that the existing apartment building has an easement/right-of-way per Liber 6794,
Folio 254 where residents are currently parking. Mr. Frederick asked what would happen if the
development were approved. Ms. Calimer stated if the County owns the roadway, this issue will need to
be resolved appropriately.
Ms. Calimer explained that the proposed number of lots will exceed the Highway Adequacy policy
exemption; therefore, a traffic study will be required. The traffic engineer may submit the scope of work
to the County; the County will coordinate with the State Highway Administration. Ms. Calimer noted that
storm water management areas are being reserved; however, a separate [SD storm water concept plan
must be submitted and approved prior to submission of a preliminary plat. Sidewalks must follow ADA
and accessibility requirements and will be owned and maintained by the HOA; a note will be required on
the plat. Ms. Calimer expressed concern with the bulbed cul-de-sac on the turn at proposed Lots 13 thru
18 and recommends a different design, such as a mini roundabout. Mr. Frederick asked if a T -intersection
would be acceptable and Ms. Calimer stated it would be. Mr. Frederick stated there is only one access to
the development; however, the developer owns a narrow strip of land that goes to Mt. Aetna Road. This
will be used as an emergency access only.
State Highway Administration
Mr. Reed agreed that a traffic study will be required.
Addressing
Mr. Tresler noted addresses will be assigned during the site plan phase. Birch Knoll Road will be extended
into the development. The two cul-de-sacs will need to be named. Mr. Tresler asked if the emergency
access from Mt. Aetna Road will be gated. Mr. Frederick stated that a gate could be installed and a knock
box provided for emergency services. Mr. Tresler explained if the access is gated and not for public use,
the road will not need to be named. There is a prohibitive names list and a roads name list that should be
followed when choosing road names. A total of six road names will be required.
Washington County Health Department
A representative was not present at the meeting; however, the following written comment was
submitted.
• Water and sewer allocation forms will be required.
Washington County Soil Conservation District
A representative was not present at the meeting; however, the following written comment was
submitted.
• A copy of the soils map, from the hard copy and/or digitized version of the Soil Survey, with
boundaries clearly delineated must be provided (the Web Soil Survey does not have an accurate
stream layer). Evaluate any streams and/or drainage ways, sinkholes, steep slopes, etc. and
provide any and all required documentation. If buffers are required, please incorporate them into
your design and include it with your next submission. Please ensure any required buffers are
shown on the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, particularly if affected by the proposed
project and/or are within close proximity to the project area.
Washington County Department of Water Quality
A representative was not present at the meeting and no written comments have been received.
City of Hagerstown Water and Sewer Department
A representative was not present at the meeting; however, the following written comments were
submitted.
• City water is available and may be extended from the existing mains in Colonial Drive and Birch
Knoll Road. A pre -annexation agreement will be required for water service.
• Water and wastewater allocation may not be available until issues with the Health Department
regarding allocation outside city boundaries have been resolved.
• Gravity sewer service can be extended from the existing stub in Birch Knoll Road assuming grades
permit.
Discussion and Comments: Mr. Frederick asked what the priority designation for water and sewer is for
the property. Ms. Jenkins stated the property is currently in priority designation W -1/S-1. Mr. Frederick
asked if the development is in the sewer service area of the County or the City. Ms. Wagner -Grillo stated
it is in the City.
Closing Comments
All reviewing agencies will receive a copy of the written summary. If there are any discrepancies in the
written summary, the Department of Planning & Zoning should be notified immediately. The summary
will also be submitted to the Planning Commission for its review and comment. Planning Commission
comments will be made a part of the record and should be addressed by the developer as the plan moves
through the approval process.
Respectfully submitted,

Received. Thank you. I will touch base with the owner and inform them of this. As the permit
applicant I will be at the requested meeting on April 2. As always on my end I have contacted
all of my Amish, Mennonite, and antique dealers about this property and as of right now none
of them have any interest in any of the items currently available on the property of the
residential house being demolished. As we tear the building down we will take our time
looking for unknown historic items that we think has potential value to be reused or salvaged
and put them to the side as needed to save. I have submitted the permit application for
demolition. I have submitted my notice of intent to demolish to the mde. I have contacted miss
utility and they have marked all underground utilities. The owner is disconnecting cutting and
capping all the utilities. If you need anything else just let me know. Thank you !

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION TAX
CREDIT ELIGIBILITY
BETWEEN
THE TOWN OF
AND
THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY,
MARYLAND
This Memorandum of Understanding for Historic Preservation Tax Credit Eligibility (the
"MOU") is made this day of , 2025 (the "Effective Date") by and
between the Town of , a Maryland municipal corporation (the "Town"),
and the Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland, a body corporate and
politic and a political subdivision of the State of Maryland (the "County"), for Historic
Preservation Tax Credit Eligibility for the purpose of making certain properties within the
County eligible for a historic preservation tax credit where the property qualifies as a historic
structure, and where the property is located in a qualified municipality as further explained this
MOU. The Town and the County may collectively be referred to as the "Parties."
RECITALS
A. On April 23, 2024, the County enacted Ordinance 2024-23 (the "Ordinance" or the
"Tax Credit Ordinance"), an ordinance designed to further expand a 1990 County
ordinance which granted a County property tax credit to certain historic structures
located in specifically defined districts within the County.
B. The purpose of the Tax Credit Ordinance is to expand its eligibility to all citizens
within the County who possess Historic Structures which may be eligible for a
property tax credit.
C. The Tax Credit Ordinance provides that a Historic Structure situated within a
"Qualified Municipality" may qualify for the property tax credit granted by the
Ordinance.
D. A "Qualified Municipality" is defined as a municipality with exterior design
requirements that are equivalent to those established by the Historic District
Commission.
E. A municipality may also become a "Qualified Municipality" if the municipality
executes a Memorandum of Understanding whereby the municipality grants permit
review authority to the Historic District Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, each of which is
incorporated in and made a substantial part of this MOU, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the
Parties, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties hereby covenant and agree as
follows:
Consistent with Section 1.04b(i) of the Tax Credit Ordinance, a municipality may
become a Qualified Municipality by granting permit review authority to the County's
Historic District Commission.
2. The Town hereby agrees to grant the Historic District Commission the authority to
review and apply exterior design review requirements to applicants seeking property
tax credits for their Historic Structures.
3. The Historic District Commission agrees to review applications for properties located
within the Town, and to use the same exterior design review standards that it uses for
all Historic Structures within the County.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this MOU to be duly executed and
delivered.
