ST. MICHAELS, MARYLAND — The St. Michaels Planning Commission will take up draft rules for accessory dwelling units when it meets Thursday, Nov. 5, at 10 a.m. at the Boy Scout Cabin, 407 St. Mary's Square.

The agenda lists "Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's). Draft Zoning Text Amendment Legislation" under new business. In September, the town's commissioners had Ordinance No. 578, an accessory dwelling unit zoning text amendment, before them, and town staff recommended referring the draft ordinance to the Planning Commission.

The commission will also continue its discussion of Chapter 13 of the town's Comprehensive Plan, which covers the implementation schedule and priority projects. Minutes from the Oct. 1 and Oct. 15 meetings are up for approval, and the agenda includes time for public comment. The meeting will be streamed on Zoom.

The Historic District Commission meets the same day at 3 p.m. in the Boy Scout Cabin. Its draft agenda lists two new cases: a full gutter replacement at 411 Water St. (HD-26-1017) and a fence at 106 E. Chestnut St. (HD-26-1018). Two cases return as old business, a fence at 108 W. Chestnut St. (HD-26-1011) and a pool and patio at 106 E. Chestnut St. (HD-26-1013). Commissioners are also set to discuss a courtesy review at 104 Carpenter St., a staff approval of a roof at 411 Water St., mailboxes and temporary tents.

The Historic District Commission's next meeting is listed for Dec. 3.
