The People vs Peralynna

Last night the county council held a public hearing on a bill that would amend the current zoning for the Inn at Peralynna Manor in Columbia. The inn began as a small boarding house in 1996 but has expanded over the years to the consternation of some neighbors. According to this story by Lindsey McPherson in Explore Howard  the inn on Route 108 near the Iron Bridge Wine Company “has been operating as a nonconforming use since late 2001, when a change to the county's zoning regulations eliminated the Lynn's boarding house special exception.”

One neighbor claimed that recently a guest was staring into her yard from a balcony at the inn making her uncomfortable about wandering around her yard in her housecoat or pajamas.
