Charles planning commission pushes back on subdivision amendment

Residents at a recent Charles planning commission meeting were concerned about how an amendment to the county’s subdivision regulations would affect Falcon Ridge, a housing development along Mason Spring Road in Indian Head. “Development regulations should balance the interest of property owners and developers with the long-term interests of the community,” Christine Cline of Indian Head said at the Nov. 2 meeting. “Charles County should be encouraging responsible development.” The subdivision plan for Falcon Ridge, which has been under development for almost 30 years, is going through an appeals process with the Charles board of appeals. A meeting is scheduled for January 2027. The planning commission recommended denial of the subdivision amendment and asked K. Hovnanian Homes of Maryland, the applicant that proposed the amendment, to add more accountability measures and remove the retroactive provision for projects that have a preliminary plan as of Jan. 1, 2026, including Falcon Ridge. The recommendation moves to the Charles County commissioners. Planning board members Semia Hackett and Jeffrey Bossart expressed concerns about the lack of accountability and oversight in the amendment, and most board members were concerned about the retroactive provision. “It’s becoming ever more challenging to find available areas to develop,” Erin

VDOT studying around-the-clock, two-way Express Lanes on I-95

The Virginia Department of Transportation is exploring adding bi-directional, around-the-clock express lanes for approximately 45 miles of Interstate 95 in Northern Virginia. The Prince William Board of County Supervisors on Oct. 20 received an informational presentation from the department on the feasibility of converting the I-95 reversible express lanes to bi-directional operations. The express lanes currently operate in one direction at a time, with the direction changing based on established weekday and weekend schedules; drivers traveling in the opposite direction cannot access the express lanes. The proposed bi-directional configuration would allow express lane travel in both directions at all times. The proposed project, led by the Virginia Department of Transportation, is still in the feasibility stage, according to a county news release. Feasibility has not yet been determined because potential property, traffic, road configuration, ingress and egress and environmental impacts require further study, the release states. The schedule and construction timeline also remain uncertain, pending the results of the study, necessary approvals and a commercial agreement. The examination is evaluating approximately 45 miles of the I-95 Express Lanes from near the Springfield Interchange in Fairfax County to Spotsylvania County. Under the concept presented to the board, three express lanes would
