An environmental advocacy group has appealed a zoning decision which sets the groundwork for a 184-unit housing development on the Magothy River.
The Magothy River Association appealed Administrative Hearing Officer Douglas Hollmann's April ruling in favor of developer Koch Riva Property Group. The ruling changed zoning for the 14-acre plot of land off of Wishing Rock Road in Pasadena from R-1 to R-15, or 15 homes per acre.
Paul Spadaro, president of the association, said the appeal was based largely on the same grounds as the group's opposition to the rezoning.
Spadaro and others argued the development would have a detrimental effect on nearby spawning yellow perch fish in the Magothy River as well as a prehistoric encampment.
The case now goes to the county Board of Appeals. No date has been set.
