Verbatim Transcript
Gerry Powell with Frederick Ward & Associates presented the plan:
consisting of two warehouses around 400,000 sf of space. The property is all zoned general
industrial and is approximately 100 acres, the portion that we are developing. The property is
located on Trimble Road next to and behind the Kohls E-fulfillment center developed in February
2011 and was formerly known as the GAP. The GAP was approved for development in August
2007. The portion of the site subject to this meeting is presently undeveloped. However, it
received previous development approval in September 2008. Prior to these approvals as far back
as 1990 the site was cleared and graded for development that looked pretty much like the
development we are proposing today. The development is subject to the conditions of a Board of
Appeals case 3916 for disturbance of the Natural Resource District. The subject property is
presently made up of two lots, lot #2 and lot #3 and remaining tracks. The remaining tracks are
what we are proposing to sub-divide and develop into two lots 4 and 5 with around 400,000 sf as
I previously said of warehouse space. Access is from Fulfillment Drive a public road intersecting
Trimble Road. Fulfillment Drive will be extended as a public road to the limits of the public right
of way ending in a cul-de-sac feature and private access will extend to the individual lots. The
development will be served by public water and sewer. Public water from Trimble Road. Public
sewer from sewer that traverses the property. Stormwater Management Concept has been
submitted to the county more specifically we propose to use the existing stormwater
management pond #2 which is located on lot #2 to intercept and manage the portion of our
development it was designed to capture and manage. We propose to use other methods such as
micro-facilities, sand filters and shallow gravel wetlands to provide quality management receiving
the run-off from the development before conveying the drainage to larger quantity ponds that
control the run-off to match the existing hydrology of the property. Landscape and lighting plan
for the development has been submitted to Harford County for review. At the present time there
are no perspective tenants. That concludes my presentation.

For the site plan: Concept SWM plans have been submitted and reviewed.
An adequate sediment and erosion control plan needs to be approved before a grading permit
can be issued. The sediment and erosion control plan must be integrated with the SWM strategy
at the design phase. The new 2011 Maryland Standard and Specification for Soil Erosion and
Sediment Control must be utilized.

A flow test must be performed to determine the water pressures and flows that are available for
the design of this project. The flow test must be submitted to the Division of Water and Sewer for
review and analysis regarding adequate water facilities before we can recommend approval of
the Preliminary Plan. The test should be submitted to Mr. Ali Ghanavi at the Division of Water
and Sewer. You may contact him for additional information concerning the test.
The required fire flow from the public main which serves Lots 4 and 5 is 2500 gallons per minute.
The water main which will serve these lots must be sized to provide this flow without violating
the design criteria in the Design Guidelines or the Ten State Standards. The public water main
shall terminate at the point where the access drive splits to serve each of the individual lots. Fire
hydrants must be located every 300 feet along the main.
If there are existing underground utilities along the western side of Fulfillment Drive, then the
proposed water main may not be located there unless the water main can be placed a minimum
of ten feet away from the existing utility.
The method of connecting into the existing water main in Trimble Road will be determined during
the review of the design drawings. The point of connection shown on this plan is not approved at
this time.

Gerry Powell with Frederick Ward & Associates presented the plan:
Again, my name is Gerry Powell with Frederick Ward & Associates and I am presenting a site and
preliminary plan for Ferguson Waterworks consisting of a proposed 10,000 sf building with
potential of expanding another 10,000 sf. There are three parcels all zoned general business B3
and approximately a total of 10.4 acres. The property is located on the south east corner of the
intersection of US Route 40/Pulaski Highway and Oak Avenue in Joppa, Maryland. The property
was approved for development in June of 2005 for a 44,000 sf building with potential of
expanding another 31,000 sf for a total of 75,000 sf and this use never went forward. Again, the
owners requested approval for a 35,000 sf building and proposed expansion of 17,000 sf in March
of 2008 which also never moved forward. We are requesting access from Pulaski Highway and
Oak Avenue. The development will be served by public water and sewer. Public water from Oak
Avenue. Public sewer from sewer that is parallel to Pulaski Highway and on our side of the road.
Stormwater Management Concept has been submitted to the county more specifically we
propose to use a pond to provide quantity management and other methods such as micro-
facilities to provide quality management receiving the run-off from the development before
convening the draining to a storm drain system in Pulaski Highway. Landscape and lighting plans

Public Comments
Mary Byrne I live at 705 Oak Road not Oak Avenue. My son lives at 703 Oak Roadand my
daughter at 704. I think this property is going to come right up to 703. My question is right now
it is woods with deer and everything. Are you going to all the way over to the edge of the
property or are you going to leave a buffer? What are your plans?
Mary Byrne - Oak Road is a private right of way that runs up to the woods where you are.
Gerry Powell
Moe Davenport Yes, it is on the east of the property.
Gerry Powell Is it still called Oak Avenue?
Mary Byrne No, it is Oak Road.
Gerry Powell We are required to have landscape buffers between our property. The County
has standards and requirements for what has to be planted and how that is going to be screened
and what goes in that buffer. We will maintain as much as possible there; grading is an issue but
whatever we take out we are going to re-populate with the required landscape to meet the
buffering requirements.
Moe Davenport They are clearing to the property line and then they will have to re-establish a
30 buffer yard according to the plan. So, they do plan to clear to the property line.
Mary Byrne To the property line?
Moe Davenport Yes, that is what the plan shows
Mary Byrne And thats the way it is

Gerry Powell Yes mam.
Mary Byrne It is what it is, right?
Moe Davenport Gerry indicated that there may be areas that they keep along there.
Gerry Powell Yes, we will try to keep as much as possible.
Moe Davenport But the plan should demonstrate that.
Mary Byrne And, you said something about a pond? Where is that going to be?
Gerry Powell The pond is located up here further towards Route 40 next to the building and the
nucleus of the development itself. So it is tucked in there. There will be smaller what we call
micro-facilities, they are small rain gardens and ponds. It will be well landscaped and provide for
water quality. They wont be very deep like the quantity pond will be designed with some
storage in it. Again, that will be up on Pulaski Highway behind the business center there.
Mary Byrne So, the moving and storage is not going to be there?
Gerry Powell - Im sorry. There is a building there and that is being retained. That is someone
elses property. The pond is going to go on the development property that we are developing
and will be closer to Route 40.
Mary Byrne Ok, it is what it is.
Moe Davenport Mary, I can give you a copy of the plan if you would like to have it before you
leave.
Mary Byrne Because I have been there for 58 years and its been nice.
Moe Davenport Are there any other questions or comments on this plan? If not, that
concludes our meeting for today. Thank you very much for your attendance.
Meeting adjourned at 9:31 am.
