A homeowner is claiming "bias" because he was required to submit a grading plan for a pool (due to high incline and topography of his lot) but another homeowner was not required to do so on their application for a pool (due to flat elevation of their lot). He is demanding reimbursement of the cost for the grading plan on the basis of clear "bias against me and my family, which has now caused a demonstrable financial impact." Can the board discuss this in executive session?

Anytime the board puts an additional criteria for an application, it should be in open session.

You should be able to answer this person's questions at an open meeting.

Somewhere in your documents it should state when and why topographical studies need to be submitted with the application.

Why do you feel the need to go into ES?

Only if he files a lawsuit, then that would be OK.
