SOLOMONS, Md. – Principal planner of Solomons Condos and Mixed Use, Christine Finamore, presented an overview of the plan at the Calvert County Planning Commission’s meeting on December 13th.
The project consists of putting three buildings on less than an acre of land located at 14516 & 14518 South Solomons Island Road, Solomons, on two lots totaling .67 acres, zoned Solomons Town Center.
The plan is a proposed 34,483 sf, four-story building for mixed use: 2,450 square foot commercial retail space and 32,033 sf for 13 multi-family condominiums with parking and site improvements. One would be 13 residential condominium units, another would be a first-floor restaurant, and the third would be a retail space.
Timothy Holt of Solomons Condo Project LLC applied, earlier this year, for the building to be four levels or 45 feet. Most of the people who attended a meeting in February seemed to support the project.
One man, James McQueen of Lusby, responded during the public comment period saying the project will destroy the view and that they may need to consider the long-term effects.
While step one, to present the project, is complete, some conditions must be met for the project to move forward, according to planning and zoning. A detailed site plan and final plan still need to be submitted and approved before Solomons Condo Project LLC can apply for a construction permit.

Sounds like the exact opposite of what everyone wants since bridge funding seems flat.
Wow ! This is bad , bad , bad.
Lol, they’ll end up allowing this but won’t allow the project at the eyesore that is the old Holiday Inn.
Sounds like a Grandiose Plan, what about Parking? The next thing you know these bobo’s will try to take up Public Parking in front of the Pavilion Water front area !, Make them show designated parking for two car spaces per Apartment, That’s the only way this might fly. Next Make them pay additional Monies for the added overloaded sewage system currently in place! How about additional property Taxes, One apartment equivalent to one house (EACH), at water front prices.
Oh by the way can the school system support it NO !, Make it 50 and over like the The Dowel area restrictions.
