Supreme Court of Maryland

Becker v. Falls Road Comm. Ass'n

November 16, 2022

Summary

The Court held that the Board of Appeals erred in concluding that collateral estoppel barred approval of the 2018 development plan. The record contained competent, material, and substantial evidence that the plan materially changed the prior proposal by reducing the number of lots, converting the access road to a private driveway, and revising stormwater management. The Court therefore reversed the intermediate appellate judgment.
