Special conditions: Time-of-year and future channel dredging width and depth restrictions; requirements for dredging and disposal, buffer from emergent vegetation, staking, post-bathymetric survey, and marsh establishment and maintenance plan.
MDE Review: The Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works applied for a State tidal wetlands license to: mechanically maintenance dredge a 43,649 square foot channel to a depth of 3.5 feet at mean low water; deposit 2,800 cubic yards of dredged material at a dredge materials disposal site; enhance 5,521 square feet of marsh; and periodically maintenance dredge for six years.
• Application received May 16, 2017
• Public comment period ended September 1, 2017
• MDE Report and Recommendation June 27, 2018
As no one requested a public informational hearing, none was held. Two agencies expressed
Service. MDE then submitted a Report and Recommendation recommending the Board issue the
County a State tidal wetlands license for the project.
3. Board Of Public Works (cont’d)
State Tidal Wetlands License
Wetlands Administrator’s Report: The Wetlands Administrator makes the following report based on review of MDE’s R&R and the agency comments, follow up with MDE and DNR, and a site visit.
• The proposed dredging is within the same footprint and to the same depth as the Board licensed the County to dredge in 2010. See State Tidal Wetlands License No. 10-WL0623. The dredged channel has silted back in with sediment over the past eight years. Because the license would allow the County to dredge the channel to the level authorized in 2010, MDE processed the application as a maintenance-dredge project under COMAR 26.24.03.01.
• Because the 2010 dredging impacted submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), the County was required at the time to mitigate the impacts, which it did by restoring a stream. The Wetlands Administrator in July 2018 walked the site with a stream restoration expert who verified the project’s success. Although the current dredging proposal would eliminate SAV that has grown back since 2010, the loss of that SAV was previously mitigated with the stream restoration.
• The concern from the National Marine Fisheries Service is that the renewed dredging would affect emergent vegetation. This concern is addressed with a special condition requiring a buffer to protect the emergent vegetation.
• DNR comments that characterizing the County’s upper Mill Creek dredging projects as “restoration” is inaccurate; and that the State should authorize dredging in this area only to enhance navigational access. To allay DNR’s concern about the extent of future County dredging projects in upper Mill Creek, MDE, DNR and the Wetlands Administrator recommend restricting future dredging applications to the width and depth of the current channel by including in the license:
This license is granted to accomplish licensee’s 2010 goal to remove excess sediment from Mill Creek headwaters that resulted from the 2005 sewer main collapse.
Future maintenance dredging shall be for navigational access only and shall minimize main channel (32' width) and spur channel dimensions. Dredging depth may not exceed 3.5 feet at mean low water.
4. Department Of Housing And Community Development

5. Department Of Housing And Community Development
Recommendation: That the Board of Public Works approve DHCD lending general obligation bond proceeds for the project described.
Loan Authority: Neighborhood Business Development Program §§ 6-301 through 6-311, Housing & Community Development Article, Annotated Code of Maryland; COMAR 05.13.01
The Neighborhood Business Development Program, operating as Neighborhood BusinessWorks, is a Smart Growth revitalization tool for business creation or expansion in designated areas.
Borrower: SoHa Union
Project Property: 4801 Harford Road, Baltimore City 21214
Loan Amount: $800,000
Fund Source: MCCBL of 2018: Provide funds for grants and loans to fund community-based economic development activities in revitalization areas designed by local governments. Item SA24(B).
Collateral: Third lien position on project property.
Project Description: SoHa Union is a newly-constructed, mixed-use project incorporating 8,500 square feet of retail/commercial space at ground level with 16 two-bedroom, 1.5 bath apartments above grade. Originally financed by Peoples’ Bank, the developer increased the construction scope and incurred a cost overrun. The developer then suspended the project to secure $1.8 million of additional financing to cover the increased costs. Baltimore Community Lending will make a $1 million permanent construction loan. DHCD will lend $800,000 in capital funds, also a permanent construction loan. The increased scope will improve the project’s potential cash flow which is expected to support the additional financing. The State’s loan will be used to complete construction and will be disbursed in approved construction draws. The anticipated property value upon completion will be $6.31 million, which results in an 80% combined loan to value ratio.
5. Department Of Housing And Community Development (cont’d)
Project Description: (
The project will have a major revitalization impact on the Hamilton/Lauraville Neighborhood of Baltimore City. There is a need for residential apartment living and there has been limited retail/commercial development in the area in recent years. Many local businesses have outgrown their old, original spaces and are seeking commercial space elsewhere. The project will support the local businesses by offering growth opportunities in the neighborhood and is expected to stimulate future development projects.
6. Department Of Housing And Community Development
Recommendation: That the Board of Public Works approve substitution of the borrower and of the collateral in a current Partnership Rental Housing Program general-obligation bond loan transaction.
Borrower: Heritage Crossing Limited Partnership (current owner/borrower) Heritage Crossing II Limited Partnership (substitute owner/borrower)
Project: Heritage Crossing II, 500 N Fremont, Baltimore City 21201
Authority: § 4-1201 et seq., Housing & Community Development Article, Annotated Code of Maryland; COMAR 05.05.05
Partnership Rental Housing Program finances rental housing to be occupied by individuals or households with incomes of 50% or below of the Statewide median income.
Original Loan Amount/
Current Balance: $6,000,000
Authority to State Finance and Procurement Article, § 10-305,
Grant Easement: Annotated Code of Maryland
Background: The Housing Authority of Baltimore City (HABC) constructed Heritage Crossing II in 2003 as part of a HOPE VI redevelopment. It was known at the time as Heritage Crossing. The HOPE VI redevelopment produced 75 townhomes for rent and 175 townhomes for sale. The State, through DHCD’s Partnership Rental Housing Program, lent $6 million to Heritage Crossing Limited Partnership to finance construction of the 75 rental townhome units. Conversion: HABC is converting several public housing projects to private ownership with project-based Section 8 rental assistance through HUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration Program. Heritage Crossing II is one of those projects and will be rehabilitated to retain and improve the project as high-quality affordable housing units.
6. Department Of Housing And Community Development (cont’d)
Change in Collateral: When converting projects to private ownership, HABC is structuring the transactions using 75-year ground leases, an approach DHCD has frequently seen, especially with loans made under the Partnership Rental Housing Program. Whereas the existing loan is secured by a deed of trust on HABC’s fee simple interest and the borrower’s leasehold interest in the property, the assumed and modified loan will be secured by a deed of trust on the new owner’s leasehold interest in the property. DHCD has determined that the proposed structure would not result in a material change in its ability to enforce its rights or remedies upon default.
7. Maryland Department Of The Environment
Recommendation: That the Board of Public Works approve new loan funding up to $2,052,427 to St. Mary’s County Metropolitan Commission for the Town Creek Water System – Phase I project in St. Mary’s County. Funding may involve multiple sources, including general obligation bond proceeds as the required 20% match to federal funds and other funds. Borrower will repay this loan over a period not to exceed 30 years following project completion, at an interest rate of 50% of the average of the Bond Buyer 11-Bond Index for the month preceding loan closing. Based on this formula, loan recipients in State fiscal year 2017 received interestrates ranging from 1.20% to 1.70%. To secure this debt, Borrower will deliver its bond, along with the full faith and credit endorsement of St. Mary’s County, to the Maryland Water Quality Financing (Legislative District 29C)
Project Description: Phase I of this multi-phased project involves design and construction of waterlines, valves, fire hydrants, radio read water meters, and all necessary appurtenances to replace the existing aging and deteriorated water distribution system in the existing California area of St. Mary’s County. The new system will correct water pressure and delivery problems and provide residents with safe and adequate drinking water, including fire protection.

Requesting Agency Remarks: Since February 2017 Johns Hopkins Hospital-Bayview had been caring for a patient who has dementia with significant behavioral issues and requires one-on-one health aides 24 hours a day. The health aides help with activities of daily living (feeding, bathing, toileting), redirect the patient’s behaviors, and ensure the patient’s and others’ safety. No Baltimore area facilities would accept the patient. A skilled nursing home bed became available at Western Maryland Hospital Center and the patient’s family agreed to the transfer. Western Maryland Hospital Center does not have staffing to provide the one-on-one aides needed for this patient’s care. For that reason, MDH declared an emergency to be able to quickly procure the staffing services to cover the first year.
