In an effort to keep you informed of community actions which are taking place behind the scenes and between newsletters, the board of directors has decided to post periodic news updates to our website.
These updates will appear from time to time but at no set date. Again, this is why it is important that all community members make it a point of checking this website occasionally. Not only will it have all the current information, but it also will have this section for current events.
Pond Issue Update: In an effort to keep you up to date on the pond issue, please be advised
of the following information:
The Board of Directors has received a final set of plans for the repair of the pond from Dan O’Leary (MNF Engineering). These plans have been submitted to Al Wirth of the DEPRM office in Towson. At this point, the board is in the process of soliciting bids for the actual work and is developing strategies on how we will proceed with obtaining funding or assistance with funding from Baltimore County. With the assistance of MNF Engineering, we are hoping to have bids available by our November 15th board meeting. If this is accomplished, we will be able to narrow the bids down to at least three and these will be presented to the general membership in January. All community members will be notified of the exact date, time and place of this extremely important special meeting that will take place at that time, along with all topics to be discussed and votes to be taken. As soon as you are notified, please place it on your calendar and plan to attend. This is the culmination of almost two years of costly planning, and foot work by the board of directors. Please plan to give them back an hour and a half in January.
The final copies of the plans will be available for viewing at our November 15th meeting (the time and place is posted on this website, under Board - just click on the link for further information) for all who want to review them. Should you wish to attend this meeting, you are welcome to do so, as several topics will be discussed. However, open discussion will be limited to the board of directors.

Walking Pet Notice “Again”
As most of us should remember last spring and the summer before that there was a notice issued to every household concerning neighbors allowing their pets to deposit waste on other neighbor’s lawns. We should also remember that this is very disturbing to everyone. So disturbing that it was reported to Baltimore County Zoning and consequently this Community Association was issued a citation. Further, one neighbor was threatened with a $50.00 fine for each incident. Yet some neighbors continue to violate this law. Please be considerate of your neighbors by keeping your pet off of their property and always clean up after an incident no matter where it takes place. Remember, it not just a standard, It’s The Law!
Well, that’s all for now! Please periodically check this area of the website for news and community updates.
