2.
Support CB-4-2007!
Tell the Council to vote for CB-4-2007 to close traffic mitigation loopholes & slow rampant development that outpaces our roads system.
3.
Save Some Big Trees!
New developments are required to have Tree Conservation Plans. Sometimes developers cram in more lots by doing off-site mitigation (saving trees not on the property being developed), but they are allowed to log mature trees on the mitigation property every 40 years. The most valuable trees aren't being saved at all!

We have joined PG CTIZN (Prince George's Coalition to Improve Zoning Now) in suing the PG County Council to stop their abuse of zoning power through inappropriate use of text amendments (TAs) to give deals to developers.
We are appealing and litigating three projects.
1. CB-53-2005, District 9 Councilwoman Marilynn Bland's TA allowing Bevard North, a huge subdivision, in Clinton. Consolidated by courts with the Bevard East & West cases.
2. CB-90-2004, the TA that applies to Baig Court in Fort Washington. It allows an inappropriate increase in density, and is tailor-made for that property.
3. TA making the Wal-Mart and Sam's Club at Ritchie-Marlboro Road possible..

Information about Mitigation
We are different from other civic groups in that we are organized to encourage participation by normal people who are fed up with business-as-usual, but have limited time and resources to devote to enacting change.
We meet infrequently, doing most of our business through email or over the phone.
Please join us! Membership is free. To join, or for more information, email Kelly at [email protected]
