County Commissioners v. Fairwinds Beach Club, Inc.

In this zoning case from Anne Arundel County, the Chancellor reversed the action of the County Commissioners, in granting a rezoning from Agricultural to Heavy and Light Commercial to permit the construction of a small shopping center, on the ground that a debatable question was not presented.

The appellants raised a preliminary question as to whether the Chancellor erred in overruling their demurrer on the ground that the Fairwinds Beach Club, Inc., was not a proper party, citing Windsor Hills Imp.
