Baltimore County Board of Appeals removes 6-foot sound wall requirement for proposed Goucher Boulevard car wash
Summary
The Baltimore County Board of Appeals granted a motion for reconsideration in the AI Glensview LLC case and will reissue an amended order eliminating a previously included requirement that a 6-foot sound barrier wall be installed at a proposed rollover car wash at 800 Goucher Boulevard.
The Baltimore County Board of Appeals on Feb. 11 granted a motion for reconsideration and said it will reissue an amended order removing a previously included requirement that a 6-foot sound barrier wall be installed at a proposed rollover car wash at 800 Goucher Boulevard.
The motion relates to the board's order in the case of AI Glensview LLC, case number 2023-0262-SPHX, in which the board’s written order included a requirement for a 6-foot sound wall that, according to the board, contradicted the members’ deliberations. Joseph Evans, a member of the Baltimore County Board of Appeals, said the order “did in fact include that requirement” despite the board’s decision during deliberations not to require the wall.
Board members present — William Polchak, Brian Pennington and Joseph Evans — discussed the discrepancy. Evans said the motion was to reconsider or clarify the order and that the motion appeared correct. After confirming members’ recollection that they had decided not to require the wall, Evans said, “So, because of the so the bottom line then is we will grant the motion for reconsideration and we will reissue forthwith an amended order that eliminates the requirement of the sound barrier wall.”
The board’s discussion recorded that the original order contradicted what the members had decided in deliberations; no formal vote tally, mover or seconder was stated in the transcript. The board indicated it would promptly issue an amended order removing the 6-foot wall requirement. The transcript does not specify any other conditions or mitigation measures that would replace the wall requirement.
The action affects the special-exception approval previously granted for a rollover car wash at 800 Goucher Boulevard; the transcript does not record additional changes to the special-exception approval itself or any timeline for issuance of the amended order.
The meeting was brief and concluded immediately after the board agreed to grant the motion for reconsideration.
