Nancy Floreen
Nancy M. Floreen is a Maryland politician and has been a member of the Montgomery County Council since 2002. She previously served two terms on the Montgomery County Planning Board from 1986 to 1994 and was mayor of Garrett Park, Maryland from 2000 to 2002.
==Early years==
Floreen was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on September 29, 1951. She graduated from Smith College with a bachelor of arts degree in American Studies in 1973. She earned a juris doctorate from Rutgers University School of Law–Newark in 1976.
In 1983, the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection allowed Permanent Financial Corporation to build an office building at Wayne and Cedar avenues in downtown Silver Spring that was taller, wider, and closer to the street than county code allowed. Floreen represented a group of nine families living nearby who protested the building's violations. Floreen argued that constructing a building prior to the discovery of zoning violations does not excuse the builder from the compliance, nor does it allow them an automatic zoning variance.〔 The Allied Civic Group, a coalition of county civic associations, awarded Floreen its Thomas B. Cook Award for her work representing the families in the case. The Montgomery County Board of Appeals rejected Permanent Financial Corporation's request for after-the-fact building variances, and the Montgomery County Circuit Court subsequently upheld that decision, ruling that the owner must remove the top two floors of the building and make other modifications to the building to comply with zoning codes.〔
In 1985, the Montgomery County Zoning Board approved construction of a six-story residential building for elders in Silver Spring. The building was to be built on land zoned for single-family homes.〔 Floreen represented the Woodside Civic Association in its appeal of the decision, saying the building would be too dense for the neighborhood, and that the fact that there were already large buildings in nearby downtown Silver Spring was irrelevant.〔
