Forest Conservation Program Overhaul (O-16-26)
City of Annapolis
Summary
Amendment five would require newspaper and website notice when a forest conservation plan is approved, on top of the state's new requirement to mail adjacent owners 20 days before approval. Members debated whether the burden should fall on applicants or neighbors, and whether print newspaper notice is still worthwhile.
