Sangfroid Distilling's plan to transform a former bank building at 6950 Carroll Avenue in the City of Takoma Park has run up against two snags. First, the old 1927 bank building is situated across lot lines. A building permit cannot be issued until the two lots are consolidated into one, which requires approval of a preliminary plan. Sangfroid is asking the Montgomery County Planning Board for a waiver that would allow approval of a record plat for the new consolidated lot without the approval of a preliminary plan. It is also seeking a waiver to allow the planned addition to the bank building to rise to 35', in an area where the height limit is 30'.
The Planning Board will take up both requests at its meeting tomorrow, July 17, 2025. Planning staff are recommending approval of both waivers. Their report indicates that they have received no public correspondence in favor of, or in opposition to, the waivers requested.
