Technical Advisory Committee

What Does It Do?

The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is a committee organized to review and comment on subdivision and other development proposals. Members review proposals for consistency with the requirements of county ordinances and regulations or other applicable laws, regulations or standards. TAC meetings are open to the public but participation in discussions is limited to committee members and applicants only.

Who Are Its Members and When Does It  Meet?

The Technical Advisory Committee consists of the following persons or their designated representatives: Planning Director, Director of Environmental Programs, State Highway Administration Maintenance Engineer, County Roads Engineer, Kent County Soil and Water Conservation District, Maryland Forest Service, Director of Water and Wastewater Services, and representatives of other agencies concerned with development or subdivision review.

Beginning in November 2021, TAC will transition to meeting once monthly in coordination with the deadline for the monthly Planning Commission meetings. This change is being made to address staffing shortages.

We hope that we will be able to continue to provide a high level of service without significantly affecting the review time necessary to approve new projects. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

• The submission deadline for TAC meetings will be the last Wednesday of the month by 4:30 p.m.
• The TAC agenda and packet will be sent out on the first Wednesday of the month, and
• The meeting will be held on the second Wednesday of the month at 10:00 a.m.
