Spotlight on the Planning Commission Appeals Board

amp Trappe-ToberFEST This is the third in a series of Spotlight articles on our town and the people who work to make Trappe

the great place that it is

The Trappe Planning Commission members are Edgar Harrison (Chair) Robert Christopher Norm Fegel

Shawn Smith and Robert Quidas Members are appointed by the Council of Trappe to a five-year term Town

Planner amp Zoning Administrator Jennifer Shull and Town Attorney Brynja Booth work closely with the com-

mission

The Planning Commission reviews building permits subdivision and site plans and makes recommendations to

the Council of Trappe regarding annexation requests Developer Rights and Responsibilities Agreements and

amendments to the Zoning Ordinance Subdivision Ordinance Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map Many

amendments are the result of the gallimaufry of new State regulations The planning Commission also advises

the Appeals Board but does not decide special exception and variance requests The Planning Commission as

their name suggests plans how our town will grow and develop in the future These folks put in a lot of hours

for very little pay and sometimes find themselves in the middle if not the target of some rather spirited debates

The Trappe Appeals Board consists of three members and an alternate they are Ronald Brigerman (Chair)

Thurman Bryan John Tritapoe and Rick Hudkins (alt) Commission members are appointed by the Council of

Trappe to a three-year term The Appeals Board hears requests for Special Exceptions and Variances and may

also hear appeals of rulings by the Planning Commission and Zoning Administrator Unlike the Planning Com-

mission that often acts in an advisory capacity to the Council the decisions of the Appeals Board are final at the

local level the next level being the circuit court The Council has no authority over appeals except to appoint the

Appeals Board members

Members of both boards are now required to take an on-line class and pass a basic test These two boards have

an awesome influence over what happens with our town They are your friends and neighbors who love Trappe

and have stepped up to make a difference There are many other opportunities for Trappe residents to become

involved 2013 will also be an election year with three commissioners being elected

Trappe-ToberFEST was started in 2006 Yes this year will be the 7th fest that everyone has come to love and

look forward to This is a community event made possible by the hard work of many volunteers Therersquos some-

thing everyone can do young or old Please contact Town Planner Jennifer Shull if you can help

Next month the spotlight will be on your elected officials ndash The Council of Trappe

THE INDEX CELEBRATES AN ANNIVERSARY The Index newsletter that we all look forward to reading each month proudly pro-

claims ldquonine years of continuous monthly publicationrdquo but its roots go back much

further The Index was first published by Robert Mullikin in 1873 as Trappersquos first

ldquonewspaperrdquo It was published on the 15th of each month and the cost was 50 cents per

year payable in advance 100 copies of each issue were printed on a small hand print-

ing press Publication lasted for only one year Only six copies of the original Index

are known to exist Shown on the left is the front page of Vol 1 No 4 from December

1873 owned by Jim Dawson owner of the Unicorn Bookshop

wwwunicornbookshopcom The copy is very fragile and not usually on display It is

not for sale

Information about Trappersquos other early newspapers and early history is also available on the Unicorn Bookshop website

The Index was reborn on July 1993 as a project of former commissioner Holly Wieland That July edition shown on the

right requested suggestions for a name for the newsletter Everyone felt that The Index was appropriate so Trappersquos first newspaper

had its rebirth 120 years after it was first published For the next ten years The Index was published ldquoperiodicallyrdquo after Mrs Wie-

land left the council depending on who had time to do it

Since August 2003 The Index has been published continuously every month All known copies of The Index newsletter

plus the December 1873 ldquonewspaperrdquo issue are available on the Town website at wwwtrappemdnet (click ldquoNewsletterrdquo and scroll to
