Board of Zoning Appeals Approves Extensions for Accessory Dwelling Unit Variance Requests
The Carroll County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) granted two significant extensions during its meeting on September 23, 2025, aimed at facilitating ongoing development projects in the area.

The first case, numbered 6547, involved a request from Ricky Colson Jr. for a 12-month extension on a previously approved site plan. The original approval, dated March 27, 2025, required a site plan submission by September 27, 2025. Colson's representative explained that additional time was necessary to prepare the formal submission and manage associated costs. The board unanimously approved the extension, pushing the deadline to September 27, 2026. This decision is expected to provide Colson with the necessary time to meet all site development requirements.

In the second case, numbered 6539, the board addressed a request for an extension related to a project requiring Maryland State Highway Administration permits. The applicant had encountered delays in securing the necessary engineering services and completing traffic studies. The board opted to grant a 12-month extension for the site plan submission, allowing the applicant to navigate the complexities of state regulations without the pressure of a tight deadline.

These extensions reflect the board's commitment to supporting local development while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. The decisions are anticipated to foster progress on both projects, contributing to the growth and development of Carroll County.
