# 9/24/26 Board of Appeals

The St. Mary's County Board of Appeals held a meeting on September 24, 2026, primarily to address a zoning appeal concerning permit number 24-0997 issued for property at 17246 Piney Point Road. The appeal challenged the issuance and reissuance of a building permit for a shed and patio, focusing on stormwater management concerns and alleged noncompliance with critical area regulations. The appellant's attorney presented legal arguments referencing ongoing litigation related to stormwater runoff issues from the property, but no factual witness was available to testify. The property owners and county representatives disputed the claims, noting the shed was built on blocks and did not impede water flow. The county attorney moved to dismiss the appeal due to lack of factual evidence, which the board unanimously approved. The meeting also included minor clerical corrections to a previous order and approval of minutes from the prior meeting. No new procurement or contracting decisions were discussed during this session.
