TRAPPE, MARYLAND — Trappe's Town Council and Planning Commission will meet together Tuesday morning, Nov. 10, to discuss the Lakeside Development.

The special meeting starts at 10 a.m. in the upstairs meeting room at the Trappe Fire Department. The town's website lists the site as the Trappe Firehouse, 4001 Powell Ave. According to the town's notice, the purpose is "to discuss the Lakeside Development with all interested parties." The notice lists no other business.

Lakeside has been before both bodies since August. At its Sept. 15 meeting, the Planning Commission heard a complaint about where trees were going in under Lakeside's landscape plan, including trees planted directly in front of houses and next to stop signs and light poles. James Cook of Rauch told the commission that GMB was requiring the developer to follow the submitted plan, with trees 40 feet apart, and would not approve a variance. The minutes say Town Administrator Erin Braband would schedule a meeting to discuss the landscaping. The Nov. 10 notice does not say whether this is that meeting.

At its Aug. 18 meeting, the commission unanimously accepted five building plans from Maronda Homes, which told the commission it had bought 45 lots in Lakeside's Phase 1D.

The council's Nov. 4 agenda also set a 4:30 p.m. workshop on Lakeside net project sewer revenue, with the same item listed on that evening's order of business.

The council regularly meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. at Town Hall. The Nov. 4 agenda listed the Planning Commission's next regular meeting for Nov. 17. Questions go to Braband at clerk [at] trappemd.net or 410-443-0087.
