The Belair-Edison Community Association was 60 years old July 1, 2008. However, the entire community is at least 85 years old. The cornerstone on the Shrine church shows the parish began in 1926 for people moving into the area. joined by Parkside Methodist and Trinity United Methodist in the 4x4 about the same time. By the early fifties, the entire area was filled with new houses occupied by young marrieds who left homes from southeast Baltimore City and County. A new start in life, yet close to their old family homes. As the area grew in size and population, there was the obvious need for rules and regulations designed to protect occupants' new investments and the quality of life and property. For the most part, this involved strict enforcement of City laws regarding housing, zoning, etc. This is what your community association does -- enforcement. Not to be nasty or arbitrary. It is for everyone's benefit. | For example, one cannot decide to open a bar or car repair shop out of his house. Nor can anyone create his own garbage dump in his back yard in violation of sanitation and other laws. Oh yes, parking! One may not park a commercial vehicle in front of a residential property which city zoning laws do not allow. Some stay at home Moms may decide as long as they have babies and tots at home, they could easily augment income by operating a day care center. While this can be permitted, a city permit is required which means the home and yard must be compatible with health and sanitation laws and that no one in the house has been convicted of serious crime. When suspicious signs of unlawful activity, you, as a property owner or renter, have an obligation to report the matter to the city agencies involved by calling 311 or if an emergency calliong 911. We are all in this boat together and all have to paddle to get any where. Be a good neighbor. |
