Galloway ordered members of the county's Planning and Zoning Commission to approve a 1995 plan drafted by Security Development Corporation. the company plans to build a 254-unit rental townhouse development on the land off Kali Drive and acking to Liberty Road.

Concerns over inadequate facilities such as water, fire and emergency response, roads and overcrowded schools have been raised by both resident and county officials as cause to deny the plan.

On Tuesday evening, County Commissioners released a statements vowing to appeal Galloway's order.

"We were elected to represent the best interests of this county," all three commissioners said in a joint statement. "We cannot in good conscience allow this development to proceed."

Vivian Laxton, public information officer for the county, said that the commissioners waited to make their appeal because they wanted to see what the Commission’s vote would be on the issue.

The request will be heard in the Court of Special Appeals.
