Councilman Marks: Protect Woods at Honeygo Boulevard and Silver Spring Road

Six acres will be zoned for open space. Right now, the zoning allows for townhouses or single-family homes.

Councilman David Marks announced today that he will recommend restricting development at the southwestern corner of Honeygo Boulevard and Silver Spring Road. This property backs up to Saxon Circle.

Right now, the six-acre wooded parcel has zoning that allows for single-family homes or townhouses. Councilman Marks will recommend Neighborhood Commons, or open space zoning, at this publicly-owned property.

“I am doing my best to keep the Honeygo Boulevard corridor as green as possible in this part of Perry Hall,” Councilman Marks commented. Earlier, the Councilman announced an agreement to restrict development north of Joppa View Elementary School.
