Commission, and appellants, yet the County Commissioners did not require any of them to face cross-examination before submitting those documents. Appellants maintain that all of this documentary evidence should have been placed before the County Commissioners by sworn witnesses who faced cross-examination, and, therefore, it should not have been considered by them. We disagree. “A zoning board, along with other administrative agencies, is generally not bound by the technical rules of evidence although it must observe fundamental fairness in dealing with the parties who appear before it.” Ginn v. Farley, 43 Md.App. 229, 236, 403 A.2d 858, cert. denied, sub nom. Engel v. Farley, 286 Md. 747 (1979). See also Entzian v. Prince George’s County, 32 Md.App. 256, 262, 360 A.2d 6 (1976) (<HOLDING>). The documents properly could be considered by
recognizing that commission is not bound by statutory or common law rules of evidence holding that because no clear implication could be derived from the language of the statute that the state should be bound by the local zoning ordinances the state was not bound holding that agency is bound by its regulations recognizing that administrative agencies are not bound by rules of evidence recognizing that zoning agency bodies   are not bound by strict rules of evidence
