Ed, nearly all of the Ocean Pines subdivision, especially the original so-called undeveloped areas, were more or less grandfathered in terms of wetlands protection. I don't believe in this instance that only the county can be accused of allowing the filling of wetlands. Part of those granddfathered agreements included where homes could be built, how many, etc. I believe the agreements were between 589 Corporation, the county, the state, and the federal government via the Corps of Engineers. In short, one cannot apply current wetlands regulations to the areas you describe. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: My house backs on to the eastern boundary of the Parke. My backyard was considered wetlands as was 25 to 30 acreas west of my home. I hired an attorney but could not get anyone else to share the cost but he did uncover one thing of interest...without a public meeting they allowed a change from rural type roads to urban where curbing would be useful to the builder to prevent flooding on eastern boundasry homes. I remember having Jeannie Lynch look over the area where 5 feet of fill covered land as far as one could see and she said " My God did wwe do this" To my knowledge no one from MDE ever got involved or did oversight. Centex has used pilings on all of the acreage whwere fill was used to bring the land up to 5 ft elevation. ED |
