Third time not a charm

Posted on: August 8, 2024

A  decision on a proposed 302 residential development by Pulte Homes on Contee Road was delayed for the third time on July 16 during the city of Laurel Planning Commission meeting.

Chairwoman Mitzi Betman announced at the meeting that the developer requested more time to revise its original plans to submit to city staff for consideration. City staff will then need time  to respond to those revisions.The matter remains on the table until the commission’s next meeting on Sept. 10.

“We are all thankful and hopeful that the work behind the scenes is getting done,” Betman said, to those in attendance. “We are hopeful the materials will be up in plenty of time for you to review those and we obviously invite you back to speak.”

The proposed development has met resistance from local residents and the nonprofit Laurel for the Patuxent over concerns about increased traffic and the loss of parkland.
