Board of Appeals Hearings || 10/21/2026

The Queen Anne’s County Board of Appeals held hearings on October 21, 2026, on two land-use applications. In case BOA26080247, the board approved a variance allowing replacement in kind of an existing 103-foot pier at 213 Grayson Vista Drive, with improvements, subject to a navigation light being lit from dusk to dawn. The board cited the property’s particular location, the existing pier, and safety considerations, including upgrading the dock’s electrical system. No spending or procurement decision was identified in this hearing.

In the AT&T Mobility case (identified in the transcript as BOA25110232, though the case number is garbled in places), the board approved three variances and conditional use approval for antennas at an elevation of 153 feet, 7 inches, and supporting ground equipment at the existing county-owned Four Seasons water tower. The approvals were subject to the eight conditions in the Planning and Zoning staff report. The applicant said the installation would improve coverage along Route 50 and in the Four Seasons area, including FirstNet service for first responders; staff noted that a lease agreement with the Department of Public Works had been worked out. No contract award, purchase, or funding amount was discussed, so no procurement activity was identified.
