Sometimes it seems like a new development is proposed every day. Often, these proposals are inconsistent with existing zoning, Small Area Plans and General Development Plans and require variances and special exemptions contrary to community interests. What can the average citizen or community do to protect their quality of life and the environment, and ensure that development follows the law?
The Magothy River Association (MRA) and the Chesapeake Legal Alliance (CLA) are co-sponsoring a presentation which will address these very issues.
Here is your opportunity to:
– Find out how to get involved from the beginning to the end of proposed developments
– Learn about the legal requirements for development
– Become aware of legal tools citizens can use to influence decisions
– Learn about the legal requirements for development
– Become aware of legal tools citizens can use to influence decisions
Russ Stevenson will lead this presentation, including local examples where citizens have made a difference, followed by a question and answer period. Russ is MRA Vice President for Government Affairs and Chairman of CLA.

Please plan to be there! It is critically important to understand the development process in order to have an influence upon it.
