SNOW HILL – The Worcester County Commissioners this week opted not to rezone property near Route 113 in Bishopville.
The commissioners on Tuesday voted 5-2 not to grant a request to rezone slightly less than nine acres on Jarvis Road. While the applicant said the property was poor farmland, staff noted it was currently being farmed.
“We farm wetlands right now in the county, all over the county,” said Bob Mitchell, the county’s director of environmental programs, adding that other farms had larger wet spots than this one did. “There’s other land around it that’s poorer soils than this and they’re still farming them.”
Attorney Hugh Cropper told the commissioners his client, Nick Borodulia, wanted to reclassify 8.9 acres of property he owned on Jarvis Road based on a mistake that had been made during the last comprehensive rezoning. Cropper said A-1 zoning was generally intended for farming, timber, or single-family dwellings.
“This property doesn’t really meet any of those uses,” he said, adding that it was low and wet and featured a problematic culvert. “It’s not suitable for any of those things. For that reason, we’ve asked for this rezoning.”
I bet if palmer gillis owned it the request would be granted.

Take notes, Wicomico County, STOP caving into Salisbury and allowing rezoning and annexations!!
