Heading: Hunter's Ridge Purchase and Aftermath

Text: Hunter's Ridge acquired both the Landover Gardens and SDN tracts in March of 2004, with the intention of replacing existing apartment complexes on the tracts with newly constructed townhome condominiums, and filed an application for approval of a Detailed Site Plan for the project with the Development Review Division of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. That plan, and its successors, demonstrated that Hunter's Ridge proposed the destruction of all roads located on both parcels. Among other roads, Hunter's Ridge proposed building two new roadways, Beall's Pleasure Lane and Beall Court, to connect the Rogers property with 75th Avenue. The plan also included destruction of existing water and sewage lines and reconstruction elsewhere. On November 7, 2005, Hunter's Ridge closed the private roads leading to Landover Road and provided the Rogers with a paved asphalt driveway to travel to 75th Avenue, which was to be used until the completion of Beall's Pleasure Lane and Beall Court. [8] The next day, the Rogers filed a motion for a temporary restraining order, asking for Mathias Road to be reopened. The judge denied the motion. Rogers filed an interlocutory appeal, which was voluntarily dismissed and a motion for injunctive relief pending appeal, which was denied.
