All zoning and use determinations will be made by Queen Anne's County, Maryland. State Highway Administration (SHA) offers no warranty as to zoning or permitted use. • SHA considers the highest and best use of the subject property would be for continued use of the existing gas station/convenience store with truck maintenance shop use. • The subject property is a 31.524± acre parcel operating as a "retail gas station/former truck stop" improved with a convenience store (960± SF) with gas and diesel sales, a truck maintenance shop building (3,569± SF), and a former restaurant/truck stop building (3,995±SF), all built in 1981. Supporting on-sites generally include a gas canopy (504± SF) with 2 fuel dispensers, diesel canopy (2,604± SF) with 2 fuel dispensers, 5 underground fuel tanks, concrete islands (198± SF), asphalt paving (240,000± SF), concrete paving (5,000± SF) and a truck scale (non-working according to tenant). An estimated 9.447± acres is considered the "primary site" that is currently under lease to Trailway Truck Terminal, Inc. (d/b/a/ Triple T) and includes all of the existing improvements. The remaining 22.077± acres that is not in use is identified as surplus land and is mostly wooded with some wetlands. A 150' wide high-voltage electric transmission line easement runs across the western portion of the site, through both the primary site and the surplus land area to the rear. The property is accessible via MD Route 304 (Ruthsburg Road). • The property Tax Account No. is 03-014436, Tax Map Identification is Tax Map 45, and Parcel 25. • Public utilities (water & sewer) are not available in this area and the site requires private on-site septic disposal. According to Health Department records the subject's septic system has an estimated 1,670 linear feet of drain field trenches as well as a SCAT (Single Container Air Treatment) system and a Nibbler system. The SCAT system aerates septic effluent, and the nibbler system is designed to prevent oil & grease from entering the soil absorption system by using biological pretreatment to breakdown the grease. The subject soil types are rated as very limited in their suitability for septic tank absorption fields. The on-site septic disposal system has reportedly failed, and the restaurant/truck stop building has been closed for several years. According to John Nickerson, director of the Queen Anne's County Department of Health, due to the limitations on the site's septic disposal capabilities, the restaurant cannot be re-opened, and the operation cannot be expanded beyond the existing gas station/convenience store. Any redevelopment of the site would be extremely limited, and septic approval would likely only accommodate a single restroom like in the existing convenience store. If public sewer becomes available in the future, the development potential of the subject property would improve significantly.
