Section 49-63(c)(I)-(2) of the Montgomery County Code (the "Code") authorizes the County Council to abandon a right-of-way, including a public road, upon a finding that "(1) the right-ofway is no longer necessary for present public use or anticipated public use in the foreseeable future. or (2) the abandonment or closing is necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents near the right-of-way to be abandoned or closed." As described more fully below and in the attached materials. the Abandonment requested by this Petition satisfies Section 49 63(c)(1) of the Code as the Abandonment Area is no longer be necessary for present public use or anticipated public use in the foreseeable future. BACKGROUND The Abandonment Area was dedicated by a subdivision plat recorded on October 17, 1980 by Plat No (Attachment "3"). The Abandonment Area is improved with approximately 560 linear feet of paving with two travel lanes totaling approximately 24 feet in width and terminating in a cul-de-sac. There are grass planting strips on both sides of the pavement. The Abandonment Area provides access to Glen Road exclusively for the Three Sisters Lots, which will no longer be used for houses as detailed below. No other properties are accessed from the Abandonment Area and the Abandonment Area does not connect to any public street other than Glen Road. See Vicinity Map, attached hereto and made a part hereof as Attachment "5". The Petitioners are requesting the Abandonment in conjunction with the construction of a visitors' arrival center and gallery (the "Arrival Gallery"), the Glenstone Landscape Sustainability Center (the "GLSC"). and associated visitors' parking lots on the Three Sisters Lots as part of the on-going expansion of the Glenstone museum. Glenstone opened to the public in 2006 and contains one of the world's finest collections of post-world War II art. Petitioners are expanding the existing Glenstone museum with primarily new gallery space and on-site art storage in order to fully realize its mission and allow more of its collection to be experienced by the public. The improvements proposed for the museum expansion, including the improvements on the Three Sisters Lots. are shown on the Conceptual Plan - Glenstone Museum Expansion (the "Conceptual Plan"). attached hereto and made a part hereof as A.ttachment "6". The expansion will enhance this unique cultural asset for the Countr,~ u~... An important part of the museum project is the construction of the Arrival Gallery, the GLSC, and the visitors' parking lots. These improvements will be located on the Three Sisters Lots,... 3 Lot 9 has direct access to Glen Road. **L&;B vI5/l )
8 LINOWESI AND BLOCHER LLP ATTORNEYS AT I..AW The Honorable Isiah Leggett January 28, 2014 Page 3 including portions of the Abandonment Area that are proposed to be incorporated into the Three Sisters Lots as shown in the Abandonment Lotting Plan, attached hereto and made a part hereof as Attachment "7". In order to construct the Arrival Gallery, the GLSC, and associated visitors' lots, six of the eight single-family homes have been demolished on Lots 2,4,5,6,7 and 8, and the remaining two houses on Lots 1 and 3 are vacant and will be demolished as part ofthe expansion project. Under the planned expansion, vehicular access to and from the museum facilities will be provided by two new driveways, one for visitors and a second limited to staff and service vehicles as shown on the Conceptual Plan (Attachment "6"), The Abandonment Area will not be required for access to any of the proposed improvements. The Arrival Gallery, GLSC visitors' entrance, and visitors' parking lots will be accessed by a new driveway approximately 800 feet in length located off of Glen Road, south and east of the existing intersection of Glen Road and Three Sisters Road. See Conceptual Plan. (Attachment "6"). Glenstone staff and service vehicles will access the museum facilities by a new service driveway off of Glen Road, located to the north and east of the existing intersection of Glen Road and Three Sisters Road. See Conceptual Plan. This service driveway will not be accessible to visitors. By providing separate driveways for visitors and staff/service vehicles, any possible conflicts between visitor, staff and service vehicles will be avoided. Further, an extensive internal pathway system for pedestrians and maintenance vehicles will connect all of the museum related uses, including the GLSC, the arrival gallery, the visitors' parking lots, and the existing and proposed museum buildings. See Conceptual Plan. Significant tree planting and landscaping in the area of the arrival gallery, GLSC and visitors' lots will create a park-like arrival area that initiates visitors to the Glenstone experience. Accordingly, the museum expansion provides for a unified and well-connected campus that utilizes the land owned by the Petitioners in a thoughtful and well-planned manner. Tbe Abandonment of the subject portion of Three Sisters Road allows the Petitioners to create a park-like entrance and achieve the most efficient layout for the museum facilities, facilitating the mission of Glenstone to seamlessly integrate art, architecture and landscape. THE PETITION FOR ABANDONMENT ection-49~6j(c-){-1_1-of.the-code-pemrits-the-gounty_council-t{}-abandon-a-right-of-way-i-f--it-findb that the same is no longer necessary for present public use or anticipated public use in the foreseeable future. As detailed above, the Petitioners own all of the lots abutting Three Sisters Road and are redeveloping the lots with museum facilities that will be accessed by new driveways off of Glen Road. Additionally, as discussed in a letter prepared by Glenstone's traffic engineering consultants, Wells & Associates ("Wells"), a copy of which is attached hereto ""L&B vIS!116S9.0001
9 LINOWESI AND BLOCHER LLP ATTORNEYS AT L.AW The Honorable Isiah Leggett January 28, 2014 Page 4 and made a part hereof as Attachment "8" (the "Wells' Letter"), Thee Sisters Road does not provide access to any other property. does not connect to any road other than Glen Road and is not situated within a network of roads; no property will be denied access to a public road as a result of the Abandonment. Therefore, Three Sisters Road is no longer necessary for any present or anticipated public use in the foreseeable future.. Further, as also stated in the Wells' Letter the two new driveways on Glen Road providing access to the museum facilities are sized and located to safely and efficiently accommodate museum traffic without the need to retain the Abandonment Area for vehicular use. An existing driveway into the museum grounds off of Glen Road is proposed to be closed as part of the museum expansion and with the abandonment, the project does not result in any additional curb cuts along Glen Road. Finally, all public utilities that currently exist in the Abandonment Area, as shown on the Existing Utilities Plan, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Attachment "9", will be relocated appropriately. as shown on the Proposed Utility Plan attached hereto and made a part hereof as Attachment "10", without disruption of service to any neighboring properties. Therefore, the Abandonment Area is also not necessary for use by public utilities. CONCLUSION As demonstrated above and in the enclosed materials, Petitioners have established that granting the Abandonment would be appropriate under Section 49-63(c)(1) of the Code because the Abandonment Area is not necessary for present or anticipated public use in the foreseeable future. Petitioners own all the lots abutting the Abandonment Area and the single-family homes on these lots are being demolished as part of the expansion of Glenstone detailed above. No other properties utilize the subject portion of Thee Sisters Road for access or vehicular travel. Moreover, the new musemn facilities that will be constructed on the Three Sisters Lots will be accessed from Glen Road by two new driveways that accommodate all traffic to the museum facilities and operate in a safe and efficient manner as detailed in the Wells' Letter. Finally, granting the Abandonment is necessary to facilitate the expansion of the museum in a manner that advances Glenstone's mission and enhances the experience of visitors.....

II,11I TTY
16 Road for approximately 560-feet and ends in a cui-de-sac. He indicated that the Applicant owns all ofthe adjoining properties. (Exhibit 5) Mr. Cassedy then stated that Ms. Barbara Sears, counsel for the Applicant, would describe the Applicant's project in detail. Prior to presenting several experts who would provide specifics and clarity with respect to the project, Ms. Sears expressed the view that the right-ofway (ROW) was no longer necessary for present or anticipated public use in the foreseeable future. The first to speak was the Applicant's ChiefOperating Officer, who described the subject property. The property contains nine lots, has been assembled by the Applicant, and represents the entire Hunt Club Subdivision. The Applicant maintains a facility, opened in 2006 with a modern art collection, which he desires to share with the public, and intends to expand the building housing the collection. In doing so, it is their intention to create an environment conducive to a better appreciation ofthe aesthetics ofthe landscape and the safety ofthe visitors. In order to do that, the Applicant plans to rearrange the current entrance to the property on Glen Road, and add an additional entrance and driveway for a better flow ofthe traffic and safety of the visitors. The next to speak was the Civil Engineer for the project. He indicated that any utilities entering the property located adjacent to Three Sisters Road are meant to only serve the development and are not intended to serve any off-site properties. In order to accommodate the proj ect, some ofthose utilities will need to be relocated. The Applicant is working with PEPCO and Washington Gas to meet any new requirements that it may have. The storm water management system and sediment control permit was obtained in June, A forest conservation plan was approved in June, The Applicant's Traffic Engineer Planner stated that the abandonment request is in conformance with Ch. 49 ofthe Code.

There was no testimony, oral or written, opposing the abandonment or the project. ID. Conclusions and Recommendations The abandonment ofroad rights-of-way is governed by the provisions of 49-63, Montgomery County Code (2004), as amended. Section permits application for the abandonment of a right-of way by any person or government agency; provides for public agency and utility company review; and, requires a public hearing with notice. I fmd that the hearing and notice procedures have been satisfied, and that the public, public agencies, and utility companies have been given an opportunity to review the petition for abandonment and closure as described above. Section allows abandonment ifthe ROW is not needed for public use or ifthe abandonment is necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare ofthe residents in the neighborhood or the general public. In determining health, safety and welfare issues, the
18 Council may consider: 1) any adopted land use plan applicable to the neighborhood; 2) the safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic patterns and flows, together with alternatives in the immediate neighborhood for local and through traffic; or, 3) changes in fact and circumstances since the original dedication ofthe right-of way. In this case, I find that the abandonment turns on whether or not the ROW is needed for public use and whether there have been changes in fact and circumstance since the ROW was creatoo. I frod that the ROW is not needed for public use and that there have been no changes in fact and circumstances since the right-of-way was created. Consequently, based on testimony and the record, I find that the proposed abandonment ofthree Sisters Road in the Hunt Club Subdivision ofpotomac, Maryland, will be in the public interest, and meets the provisions of The "public interest" is a broad concept that manifests itself in a variety ofcontexts. When, as is the. case here, the abandonment is considered to be in the "public interest" ifit will do such things as promote the general health and safety of the citizenry, protect the environment, preserve open space, or otherwise advance the community's quality oflife. (See City ofmonterey v. Del Monte Dunes at Monterey, Ltd., 526 U.S. 687, 701 (1999» This includes providing for the safe and efficient flow ofvehicular and pedestrian traffic generally. (See, Wheaton Moose Lodge No v. Montgomery County Maryland, 41 Md. App. 401, 397 A.2d 280 (1979» I find that the proposed project will protect the environment, preserve open space, and advance the community's quality oflife. However, the application the abandonment is to be conditioned upon: 1. the verification ofthe Office ofthe Fire Marshall that the Applicant has satisfied the requirements ofthe September 6, 2013 as approved by the Office ofthe Fire Marshall: 2. The petitioner must submit a subdivision record plat application to consolidate the right-of -way into those adjacent lots and to further consolidate those lots into a 10t(s) meeting all requirements ofchapters 50 and 59 ofthe Montgomery County Code; and, 3.. recordation ofthe plat (s) must occur prior to the completion date established by the County Council.
