This packet is a Board of Zoning Appeals application from William and Stephanie Fritz requesting a Special Exception to allow short-term rentals at 204 Corsica Street, Centreville (property in R-2 zoning). The filing describes the lot as improved with about 25 ft of frontage near Wharf Lane and Creamery Lane, and requests review/approval by the Town Technical Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, and Board of Appeals. The application cites Section 170-10-C-6 use and development standards and includes appendices addressing required items (fire marshal inspection, compliance with laws, zoning certificate, off-street parking and buffer, no change to residential character, and signage). The packet lists safety measures installed in the house (interconnected smoke and CO detectors with lithium backup, GFCI outlets, a fire blanket, and other items) and includes an email from the Queen Anne’s County Assistant Chief/Fire Marshal stating the county does not inspect or approve dwellings that are not new construction. The standard filing instructions and fees are included (Special Exception fee listed as $600 plus associated costs); case number and hearing date fields are blank and the applicant is listed as owner William Fritz.

RE: Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, and Right-of-Way,204 Corsica Street,
Centerville, Maryland
Dear Mr. Fritz:
Our firm has been asked to review the Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, and Right-
of-Way recorded among the Land Records of Queen Anne's County in Liber 0497, folio 518, a
copy of which is attached as Exhibit A (hereinafter the "Declaration"). As you are likely aware,
the Declaration encumbers the real properties located at 200, 204, 208 and 212 Corsica Street,
Centerville, Maryland 21617 (hereinafter "Lots 6, 7, 8, and 9", "Lots" or singularly "Lot").
As way of background, the Declaration was created in 1995 when Lots 6,7,8, and 9 were
jointly owned by William F. Grovermann and Norma M. Grovermann. The central purpose of the
Declaration, beyond establishing the rights of access over the "stone drive" located at the rear of
the Lots, is to provide for the maintenance and repair of the "Common Maintenance Areas". The
Common Maintenance Areas are defined to includes the "stone drive", all portions of the Lots
planted in grass, fencing, and the exterior brick stairs which lay between the Lots. ,See Art. [ $ a.
Beyond addressing these limited matters the Declaration puts no encumbrances, restrictions of use,
or obligations on the Lot owners. Indeed, Art. I $ b specifically limits the scope of the Declaration
by providing that it is not intended to "...restrict in any manner the usage by the Owners of the
Lots...".
To manage and provide for the maintenance and repair of the Common Maintenance Area,
the Declaration mandates the establishment of an Owners Committee. See Art. V $ a. The Owners
Committee is made up of the respective owners of the Lots. Id. Each Lot owner is entitled to one
vote and the Declaration provides that in order to transact business a quorum of three of the four
Lot owners is required. See Art. V $ b. To approve any measure, a majority vote is required. 1d. A

vote that results in a tie would defeat the proposed action. 1d. While, only a quorum is necessary
for the Owners Committee decide matters related to its limited purpose, the Declaration itself
cannot be amended or terminated without the consent of all Lot owners. See Afi. VI $ f.
As indicated above, the Owners Committee's authority is expressly restricted to exercising
the limited power granted to in under the Declaration. See Art. V g c. That authority is limited to
providing for the maintenance and repair of Common Maintenance Areas. See Art. V $ c & d. The
only obligation the Owners Committee is empowered to impose upon a Lot owner is for the
payment of annual and special assessments to fund the maintenance of the Common Maintenance
Areas. See Art. V $ e. Beyond this, the Committee cannot compel a Lot owner to undertake any
action or refrain from making any use of their Lot, renting their Lot to third persons, or engaging
in any other activity.
Should you have any questions or concerns or would like to discuss any of the foregoing
in greater detail, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
/s/ Joshua Welborn
Joshua Welbom, Esq
