AT LONG LAST LANGENFLEDER!
After much time, dedication,
and effort by many people in the GKCA
and our community, there is very
good news! On April 17, 2008, the
Baltimore County Planning Board
voted to support the 1991 Planning
Board decision and conclude that
any future or further development
of Lot 42 and/or Parcel A of the
Langenfelder property would be
considered a Master Plan conflict.
As you may recall, in 2005, the
County denied the developer's
|
proposal for more lots to be built
on what was left of the Langen-
felder property, approximately l3
acres (Lot 42 and Parcel A). After
much work in 1991, this 13 acres
had been sectioned out of the 1991
development plan to help preserve
the scenic view of the Langenfelder
mansion. After the County de-
nied the current developer's 2005
proposal, he appealed to the County
Board of Appeals and the Board
ordered it back to the Planning
Board to determine whether it was still
considered a Master Plan conflict.
|
This recent decision to uphold
the 1991 decision will help support
the preservation of this scenic view
as the case proceeds back to the
Board of Appeals, which retained
jurisdiction over the case, in order
to render their decision next.
Thank you to all those in our
community who have cared so
much to be involved in the years of
efforts to preserve the scenic view of
this Kingsville landmark!
