I am surrounded by a lot of intelligent, talented attorneys at O'Malley, Miles, Nylen & Gilmore, P.A. and though I am currently the only "blogger" here, I'm certainly not the only writer. Here are a couple of green-related articles for your reading pleasure penned by members of OMNG's Administrative Law & Government Relations Practice Group, along with an interesting news item.
Nancy L. Slepicka is a Shareholder with the firm and oversees our La Plata offices in Charles County, Maryland. She is a land use, zoning, and environmental attorney with over thirty years of experience counseling clients on the environmental risks and legal strategies of community and commercial development throughout the Maryland counties. In her article titled "A New Day Has Dawned - Construction Permits Subject to Citizen Opposition," published in the January/February 2010 issue of the BIA's BUILDING magazine, Nancy discusses the potential challenges facing the industry as citizens now have the right to request public hearings on construction permits disturbing one-acre of land or more.
Lawrence N. Taub is also a Shareholder with the firm practicing in our Calverton, Maryland offices. Larry represents his builder and developer clients before administrative, legislative and judicial bodies in Prince George's County to obtain approvals for a wide range of developments, including mixed-use and transit-oriented projects, retail centers, office complexes, single-family and multi-family residential developments, senior housing projects, private schools, religious institutions, sand and gravel mining operations, and solid waste facilities. In his article titled "Planning and Zoning for Mixed Use: Balancing Redevelopment Vision with Economic Reality in Prince George's County, Maryland," Larry traces the pattern and evolution of development in Prince George's County and cautions that mixed use development, while an important and practical tool for smart growth, is not always immediately economically feasible.
Last but certainly not least, I'm proud to share that William M. Shipp, Practice Group Leader of the Administrative Law & Government Relations Practice Group, and a land use, zoning, and green building attorney practicing in Prince George's County, Maryland for over twenty years, was recently recognized as a Maryland Power Player as "The Land Use Lawyer" in The Gazette of Politics and Business March 2010 Supplement. Check out page 16 in the link for more information on Bill's practice areas and past achievements.
If you have questions for Nancy or Larry about their articles, feel free to contact them directly - or contact me and I'd be happy to pass them along. If you're interested to learn more about us, please check out our new website at www.omng.com.
