FAES property update
Mark N Posted Thu 1-15-09
The Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences (FAES) notified the MCA back in September that it intends to construct a 31-unit student housing complex on its property at the intersection of Acacia and Cypress Avenues in Maplewood. A committee has been formed to address issues associated with the FAES proposal and monitor the progress of the proposed project.
The approximately four-acre lot is currently zoned for single family detached residential buildings (R-60). In order to develop the property with multi-family housing, FAES must be granted a rezoning from the Montgomery County Council. FAES recently informed the MCA that it intends to submit their rezoning application before the end of January. Signs will be posted on three sides of the property. All adjacent and abutting homeowners, as well as the MCA, should receive notice of the rezoning application from the attorney for the FAES.
The FAES has also requested attend the MCA general membership at the upcoming meeting on January 28th at Heart House. At this time it will present details of the proposed project and answer questions from neighborhood residents.
The FAES committee is tentatively scheduled to meet on Tuesday, January 27th to review the FAES rezoning application. If you’re interested in attending, please contact committee co-chairs Susan Cheney or Mark Nathans.
