Update On Deferral Cases:
The Maryland Court of Appeals ruled earlier this month that three
cases concerning Carroll County’s deferral of
residential development were moot, since
the deferral has since been lifted. The
court dismissed the cases on December 3. The judges had been asked to consider
whether a county-issued concurrency management certificate is a contract, and
whether issuing a certificate allows the county to apply new regulations to a
pending project. They chose not to rule on the questions.
Environmental Advisory Council Formed:
The Carroll
County Environmental Advisory Council met November 23rd and its
first action was selecting the Christmas tree for the County Office
building. FPAC board member Jim Johnson
sits on the EAC.
