Votes at a glance: Board approves two variances, continues one
Summary
At the June 24 Calvert County Board of Appeals hearing the board granted an after-the-fact special exception for 18 chickens and a forest-conservation variance for tree removal, and continued a critical-area steep-slope variance for up to six months to allow additional neighbor coordination.
Key outcomes at the Calvert County Board of Appeals June 24 hearing:
- Case 25-4223 (Noriega): After-the-fact special exception for 18 chickens at 1000 Laurel Court granted with conditions (permit applies to the current owner only; comply with health-department requirements; no roosters; no on-site sales). Vote recorded as "5 to nothing."
- Case 20200And24 (LPL Homes/COA Barrett): Variance approved to remove three specimen trees to allow a two-lot subdivision at 4260 Hunting Creek Road; the record shows retention of 4 of 7 specimen trees, ~0.91 acres of forest retention and required stormwater and planting mitigation; motion carried.
- Case 25-4225 (Reed / COA Barrett): Critical-area steep-slope and setback variances for 1116 El Paso Circle were continued up to six months so the applicant could meet with affected residents (particularly the neighbor on Lot 186) to explore additional mitigation for runoff and stability concerns.
The board noted it will issue written orders within 45 days for granted matters and expects applicants in continued cases to report back within the continuation window.
