During contentious public hearings, many Huntingtown residents have voiced their opposition to building Walnut Crossing and other roads platted in the 1993 plan.

"I would be concerned that a rezoning right now would preempt the [master plan] decision process," said Gregory Bowen, the county's director of planning and zoning. "Right now it is very much in the air."

Commissioner Gerald W. Clark (R-Lusby) proposed scheduling a public hearing in 90 days to hear the "substantial" public testimony on the subject. His motion passed 3 to 2. Commissioners President Wilson H. Parran (D-Huntingtown) and Commissioner Susan Shaw (R-Huntingtown) voted against the hearing.
