Introduction

The Mayor and Common Council of Westminster adopted Ordinance No. 553 which adds new sections to the Subdivision Ordinance of the City of Westminster. Chapter 164 of these sections provides for the adoption of a landscape manual for the City to enhance its environmental and visual character for its citizens' use and enjoyment.

The Mayor and Common Council recognize that developers and property owners will expend additional costs for landscaping required by this landscape manual. However, it also recognizes the important value of this highly regarded amenity. It further finds that a landscape manual will preserve and stabilize the City’s ecological balance, improve air and water quality, reduce flooding and erosion, and provide protection from climatic conditions.

This manual has been adopted by The Mayor and Common Council of Westminster pursuant to Ordinance No. 553 so that its purposes and objectives can be achieved to the benefit of all of the City’s citizens.

It is intended that this manual be used and implemented by landowners, developers, contractors, civil engineers, landscape architects, landscape contractors, urban foresters, natural resource specialists and planners in obtaining appropriate approval from the City in connection with development.

The landscape manual is supplementary to and does not replace the provisions of the Forest Conservation Act as contained in Section 5-1601 of the Natural Resources Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

Purpose

The purpose of this Landscape Manual is to preserve, protect and improve - the public health and general welfare by promoting the environmental and public benefits of landscaping. This Landscape Manual provides for the use of landscape elements in an organized manner designed to augment and enhance the City's physical environment and visual character with resulting benefits to its citizens.

In achieving this purpose, the City adopts the following goals and objectives for landscape design:

(a) to provide varying and attractive landscape elements including deciduous and evergreen planting, earthen berms planted with suitable vegetation and a variety of harmonious shrubs, groundcovers, grasses and perennials.

(b) to preserve and enhance natural vegetation to the maximum extent feasible, to protect the natural ecosystem and achieve aesthetically pleasing appearances.

(d) to preserve steep, erodible and wooded slopes and provide suitable planting on artificially graded slopes.

(e) to design streets and roads, streetscapes and grading to accommodate and respect the natural terrain and vegetation.

(f) to utilize landscape elements to stabilize soil and prevent erosion, sedimentation and reduce stormwater run-off with its potential damage.

(g) to utilize elements of landscape design in aiding the removal of pollutants from the air and assist in the generation of oxygen.

(h) to provide a buffer and screen against noise, pollution and dissimilar uses.

(i) to provide a haven and shelter for birds and other fauna.

(j) to provide shade thereby reducing ambient temperature, mitigating heat islands and providing protection from adverse environmental conditions, including sun glare, heat, noise and wind.

I visited Union Bridge Tuesday evening and went to the Buttersburg Inn. I had hoped to have dinner with my good friend, now the mayor of Union Bridge, Perry Jones. But alas, he had a meeting to attend.

Colonial Lock and Key Service Westminster Md

May 13, 2015 Kevin E. Dayhoff

It has been ages since I needed to have some keys made.

I understand that if you go to the mega-stores that put all the local hardware – and lumber stores out of business; self-service make-your-own-keys kiosks have replaced real live human beings - actual locksmiths that know the business. I always prefer to do business with a real-live person. What do I know about keys?

I guess that’s okay to make your keys if making your own keys is on your top-ten bucket list of things to do before you die. And actually – now that you mention it – making keys is not on my list.

I have firm belief that these mega-stores have everything in the world under one roof. And that is fine, well and good; if you know what to do with a whatchamacallit once you purchase it. I often do not.

I remember years ago I used to go to Mr. Wardenfelt, a locksmith up on Pennsylvania Avenue. He’s been gone for decades – and the store is gone too.

I used to go to Hanks across the street from Harry’s Man Street Grille on West Main Street in Westminster – but Hank died in a tragic accident last winter.

The keys I needed to have copied were not your ordinary keys. I was at a loss. Then I remembered years ago, I used to go to Colonial Lock at the east end of Westminster.

I stopped by Colonial Lock Service on East Main Street and found Yvonne and Gary Gosnell to be the nicest folks. I got my keys made – and took them home and they actually worked well.

I always believe that it is not good enough to be the best – you have to be nice. The Gosnells were not only human – and good at what they do… They were nice.

5-Year-Old Stuns Waffle House Diners by Showing Kindness to Homeless Man | TIME:

David Stout @david_m_stout May 19, 2015 http://time.com/3883532/five-year-old-homeless-customer-waffle-house/

"Dickens couldn’t have scripted it better

Kids often say the darnedest things, but other times they act in the most humane fashion.

At a Waffle House in Prattville, Ala., 5-year-old Josiah Duncan shocked fellow customers after he asked his mother to help a destitute man who walked into the eatery and was being ignored."

Pleasant Valley Community Memorial Day observance on Sunday, May 24, 2015, at 2 o’clock at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery.

On Sunday May 24, the Pleasant Valley community will once again ceremonially gather at St. Matthew’s United Church of Christ at 1427 Pleasant Valley Road at 1:45 in the afternoon for the annual Pleasant Valley Community Memorial Day service. The service is one of the many community gifts of living in Carroll County.

After gathering at the church, townsfolk, accompanied by the Wm. F. Myers and Sons Band will be escorted by the Pleasant Valley Community Fire Company for the half-mile walk to the Pleasant Valley Cemetery – where many members of my family are buried.

It is tradition that the walkers carry flowers and flags to place on the graves of the many veterans from the surrounding community that are buried in the cemetery.

This year’s speaker will be local historian, journalist and artist, Kevin E. Dayhoff, the former mayor of Westminster, 2001-2005
