Little Island Saga Heads To State Appeals Court

Lawyers argue if CBF should have a say

The long-running dispute over Daryl Wagner's island home went before the Maryland Court of Special Appeals last week.

Jon Mueller, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's attorney, urged the court to send the dispute back to the county Board of Appeals. About ten years ago, the house was built without permits on Little Island. Mueller argued the board denied the environmental group a fair say, and made it possible for Wagner to keep his illegally built home.

Robert Fuoco, an attorney for the homebuilder, argued that just about everything that can be said about the disputed island home has been said, and sending the case back to the board would drag the battle out for several more years.
