Frederick Road Extension alignment across Waldorf Astoria site
Summary
A 107-acre, low-density Waldorf Astoria resort on Goehmann Lane promises roughly $5 million in annual property taxes by year three, but the thoroughfare line on the plat could someday force a four-lane road through neighboring properties. Neighbors said they learned of the routes only last week; the council tabled everything to May 5.

Impact analysis
The developer projects about $5 million in property tax, $4.5 million in hotel tax and $3.5-4 million in sales tax by year three; the city's share of property tax is roughly $650,000, and the road itself is estimated at $31 million.
The city's tax base and tourism economy gain a flagship resort; the developer gains a recordable plat.
Goehmann Lane property owners fear losing land to right-of-way, losing creek access, and traffic on their quiet road.

City Council - Sep 29, 2026
The council approved a new conceptual route for the future arterial road across the 405 Goehmann Lane property, swapping the old Thoroughfare Plan line for one that fits the resort development. Neighbors raised concerns about floodplain fill, drainage into Barron Creek, curves near Goehmann Lane, and safety and turn lanes. Final terms come in the annexation and development agreement expected within about 60 days.
