    Thanks again for your response Ken. Using the plat, I've drawn a very simple diagram, included here, where I've depicted our cul de sac property arrangement. On the actual plat there are two drawings for each property. An outside boundary line, with coordinates, and inside of that is drawn...

    Help Finding Lawn Debris Statutes

    Thanks Ken for at least providing a statute citation. As I mentioned, I know it's not allowed to blow leaves and snow onto someone else's property in general. I'm just curious about the case of a driveway as described. It is a long driveway but it's on the plat as being part of the home's...

    Help Finding Lawn Debris Statutes

    Can someone help point me to the actual Maryland laws that govern lawn debris removal? I live in Calvert County and am currently involved in a dispute with a neighbor over leaf blowing legalities which later in the year, turns into snow blowing issues as well. I believe that most state laws...

    Recommendations for Sailing Instruction?

    Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I don't have access to the base, (even though I love the idea of saving money on the classes by joining their sailing club). However, given that suggestion, if anyone knows of a similar option of good sailing instruction through joining a sailing...

    Bobs/Coastal Trash - Residential 2 Year Contract?

    For any homeowners that signed up with Bobs Trash last year, or this year with them, now renamed Coastal Trash, did you sign, (or know you were agreeing to), a 2 year evergreen contract with them? I signed up with them about 2 years ago, when they were called Bobs Trash and I didn't sign any...

    Trash Collection Golden Beach

    If you're referrring to the Coastal Trash with the mailing address in Owings, MD, then my experience with them has been terrible. Regardless of the money you think you would save, I would recommend not using them. I signed up with them 2 years ago, when they were Bobs Trash, and up until the...
