Rezoning Approval for 1.4 Acres Near Mountain Road
The Frederick County Planning and Zoning Commission approved rezoning 1.4 acres south of Mountain Road from conservation to agricultural but cautioned owner C Thomas Moore on possible Zoning Board of Appeals action before building a home. An application by William C Bogsey to place townhouses on a 54 acre site north of Middletown was not acted on and remains tied to legal representation questions. The Moore case involved a 50 foot right of way through Cooper subdivision and was continued from February due to right of way concerns.
