Plumtree/24 Rezoning

After a little digging, we found what the rezoning signs were about on Rte. 24 near Plumtree Road. It was called to our attention by an advertisement in The Aegis, placed by the Klein Family, owners of the Klein's Family Markets, stating that they had no zoning responsibility about this 52.392 acre parcel. It helpfully added a a rezoning case number.
The ad said that the hearing was scheduled for Nov. 7, but it's apparently been moved to 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 19. This is what I found on the county Web site:

CASE NO. 170:
KLEIN / TURNER LIMITED JOINT VENTURE - 1921, 2001 & 2014 Emmorton Road, Bel Air
Rezoning, proposed for the First Election District, 1921, 2013 & 2014 Emmorton Road, Bel Air, BY KLEIN / TURNER LIMITED JOINT VENTURE (PROPERTY OWNERS: 1921 EMMORTON ROAD LLC; 2001 EMMORTON ROAD LLC; AND EVERGREEN BUSINESS TRUST) (CONTRACT PURCHASER: EVERGREEN DEVELOPMENT LLC). Appealed because rezonings, pursuant to Section 267-12A of the Harford County Code, to rezone 18.46 acres from B2 Community District to R3 Urban Residential District, rezone 30.45 acres from R4 Urban Residential / B3 General Business District to B3 General Business District, and rezone 3.482 acres from R4 Urban Residential District to B3 General Business District, requires approval by the Board of Appeals.

This wasn't really an answer to my question, but it appears that something's coming.

I heard a Weigmans (spelling) was coming across the street from the Plumtree McDonalds, I cant imagine Kleins being to happy about that

Actually, the market is an Aldi - like the one in Edgewood on Route 40. This is nothing like a Wegman's. You find these in more depressed areas. There are a bunch in New Jersey.

Walgreens is planned for north side of 924, east side of Lorien's driveway - actually they are to share Lorien's driveway. Why do we need Walgreen's every 2 miles?
Also, on Md Dept Assessments & Taxation website, map 56 parcel 591 shows the last bit of land not taken by Tollgate Rd. Who is Evergreen Business Trust and when is Tollgate scheduled to break through?
The old baptist church property on 924 just north of Bel Air South Parkway is scheduled for an Aldi's warehouse grocery store. I understand the one in Edgewood is great but why use this very expensive and valuable land for anything less than a Whole Foods or Trader Joe's?

You guys are all talking about different pieces of property than the one in the rezoning. The Aldi's was supposed to be going south of this property on the old Church piece. Walgreen's is going across 924 at Plumtree. And Tollgate Rd is scheduled to break through whenever the county allows for Evergreen Business Trust to rezone the land and do their development.

Wegman's does want the site. So do a host of restaurants and other top quality stores. People of Belair need to wake up to decide what you want, not lawyers in gov't and the Klein Supermarket people. Let's start to speak out and let our elected officials know what we want!!!
