WMAL Land Development Update
A letter from George Wolfand, President of West Fernwood Citizens Association is below:
Hello Neighbors,
In the next few days, I expect those homes bordering the WMAL property will receive a letter that I have requested Toll Brothers to send out. It's basically an announcement of when they plan construction and some FAQ.
The draft contains the information below, but is likely to change a bit between now and the final letter. I will send out the final letter as I'm sure others will as soon as it comes in. For now – here is a preview:
DRAFT FAQ FROM TOLL BROS:
When do you expect to start the community? We expect to start development in the next few weeks, which at the beginning will include the installation of all our tree protection measures and sediment control features.
- Where will you be accessing the property?We will be accessing the property from the Greyswood Road entrance. Our first efforts will be constructing the road connection from Greyswood Road to Greentree Road.
- Where will your contractors be parking? We will ensure that all contractors park their vehicles and equipment within the site, and not on Greyswood Road, Greentree Road, or Renita Lane.
- What will the hours of operation be? Typically, hours of operation will be 7 AM – 5 PM, but all activity will be in accordance with the Montgomery County Noise Law.
- When do you expect to open for sale? Our grand opening is currently scheduled for this Fall, 2021.
- Can I continue to use the property for recreation & exercise? For the safety of everyone, we respectfully ask that all neighbors discontinue use of the property for recreation and exercise once construction commences.
- Will any improvements be made to Greyswood Road or Greentree Road? Yes, traffic calming improvements are planned for Greyswood Rd, along with the installation of additional street trees. New sidewalk will also be installed along our property's frontage on Greentree Road and Derbyshire Lane. Improvements are expected to be completed by Fall, 2021.
The contact information to Toll Brothers will be provided in the letter.
George I. Wolfand
President, West Fernwood Citizens Association
