Proposed Muslim Retreat Deliberations Continue
posted 8:38 am Thu February 07, 2008 - WALKERSVILLE, Md.
The board was nearing a decision Wednesday night, but members learned that Tuesday's meeting may not have been recorded because of a technical glitch. If that's the case, the panel will have to repeat its Tuesday deliberations. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community wants an exception to zoning rules to build the facility on 224 acres along Woodsboro Pike. The property would also host an annual, three-day convention that could attract up to 10,000 people. Opponents say the town can't handle that many people.

"The annual retreat would be a convention, which would be PROHIBITED on farmland even as a special exception." --- That sounds clear enough to me.
