Letter from the President

Dear Neighbors,

Fall is upon us, meaning by the time you have read this, some of our proud traditions will have taken place, such as the Halloween Decoration Contest and Halloween Costume Parade, and even more are right around the corner --- Santa’s Ride and the Holiday Decoration Contest. These annual events continue because our community recognizes the importance of maintaining the Village’s traditions and emphasizes the importance of being more than just neighbors.

Our community was started back in 1947 and was specifi cally planned to be a cohesive neighborhood, with Loch Raven Elementary School as the community anchor, with homes starting on Aberdeen and the surrounding area, until branching out to include additional homes south, west, and northwest of the school.

We have agreed to live as one community. We have agreed to be bound by the same covenants, rules, and to act together in the interests of the community, even over individual wants. Since 1947, far more often than not, our community has acted together and without regard to physical barrier or artifi cial lines drawn. Those lines may differentiate parts of Loch Raven Village to others, but they should not divide us. We should support efforts that unite us in as many ways as possible.

Obviously, we will not agree on all issues at all times. However, we are 1,472 homes strong. If we dedicate ourselves to a goal, we are far more likely to get results. Together, we have the strength and we have the numbers to make a difference.

Now, we have several long-term issues for which this community needs your help and participation. We need to make sure that Pleasant Plains Elementary School is as strong of an asset as possible for our children and our community. We need more contributors for the Crier and other communication outlets. Just as important, we all want Loch Raven Elementary School building and site to remain of benefi cial use to the Village for years to come. However, the building needs major renovations. We need a team of people to help with a long-term plan, fundraising and other efforts to

Sept./Oct. Crier SubmissionsDeadline: August 17, [email protected]

Dear Neighbors,

Happy summer to everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed the July 4th parade, fi reworks and get-togethers! These are great events, so closely connected to and intertwined with our neighborhood and surrounding area, that leave an indelible, positive imprint on the memories of the children raised here, the families that grow here, and the friends and family that come to Loch Raven Village to celebrate year-to-year.

By now, all of you should have received a membership dues notice. For those of you that are committed to being members, I thank you. For those that have not been members, including those that are new or those that may have been members at one point, I wanted to reach out and identify why being a member is better than not.

The dues paid by members are dedicated to: helping to maintain and increase property values; furthering the infl uence of Loch Raven Village; providing entertainment for families during Easter, Halloween and Christmas, as well as movie nights; paying for professionals, whether landscaping the medians,

installing the new signage, or attorneys to consult with when needed; maintaining our website and publishing The Crier; supporting the local schools; fees for area umbrella associations that fi ght legal battles on behalf of communities (e.g. the Greater Towson Council of Community Associations); and many other activities that contribute to the well-being and betterment of our neighborhood and its residents.

The thing is, with more members and more activity, we could do even more. The neighborhoods that have a strong and active association are the ones that tend to preserve and improve their property values and are the ones that have a greater voice and infl uence over area issues. Therefore,

A MUSING on MuntinsA sheep? No. Ninja Turtles? I wish. Muntins are the wooden frames that hold panes of glass in a window. If you’re like me, your interest was probably lost at this point. But there’s a reason why we are having this conver-sation, so please stay with me:

Our Georgian style brick homes were designed with double hung, white, 6-paned windows – modeled after the lovely 18th century English manor homes. Thanks King George! We’ll take the design, you keep the tea.

One of the many reasons we choose to call Loch Raven Village home is the uniform look of the architecure. Over the years some replacement windows, which often consist of one large window pane with a frame/grid set over it to create the original look, have not had the “grids” installed. That error has lead to many homes falling out of uniformi-ty. Without muntins, you just have one large window pane, which is a pain. Sorry; bad pun.

The LRV Covenant Guidelines state “3. Must include tradi-tional six over six muntins (mullions) in standard windows” .

If you’re currently out of compliance with this covenant, don’t despair. Many home improvement stores offer an easy to install “snap in grid” to place over existing bare windows. Among others, we have located an online source that you may find helpful: newpanes.com.As always, any questions may be directed to the Building Restrictions Committee for The Associates of Loch Raven Village, Inc. Contact information is included in each issue of The Village Crier as well as the Loch Raven Village website: www.lochravenvillage.com.

ALRV Covenant Campaign Committee Keep Calm and Covenant On

I ask that you become a member so we can do more, not only inside the neighborhood, but in the surrounding area.

If you have questions, come on down to our monthly meeting at Loch Raven Elementary School/Center (every second Wednesday each month except August). Also, as always, if you have questions, please feel free to email me ([email protected]).

– continued from page 1 Alley Clean Up – It’s Our Job!Residents, please take a few minutes to clean up the area outside of your fence and dispose of litter and weeds that attract vermin and are otherwise unsightly. Residents are responsible for one half (½) of the alley adjacent to their home. Should you be cited for a code violation, you may be fi ned up to $200 per day, per violation. Check your recycle/yard waste schedule for the next pick-up date. Items too large for trash and yard waste collection may be taken to the landfi ll.

Bigger, Better, Beautiful!A few years ago, LRV resident Evan Parker was helping a neighbor clear out his house in order to put it up for sale. The departing homeowner was an original LRV buyer who had raised his family in the house on Myamy Rd. During the cleanout, they came upon the original LRV brochure on which the homeowner had written notations while he was deciding on a home in this “new” development. Mr. Parker has kindly shared the brochure with the Crier so that we can all enjoy this little glimpse into our neighborhood’s past. We don’t know the exact year this brochure dates

from but we do know that the land for Loch Raven Village was purchased by the developer from farmers in the late 1940s and early 1950s with the fi nal plot of land being purchased from the Eudowood Sanatorium in 1955.

Some of the selling points extolled in the brochure include the unusually large size of the homes, red oak fl ooring, plaster walls, kitchens with wall ovens, and copper water pipes. Other inducements to the location include high rolling country, wide open spaces, proximity to shopping centers, and interestingly,

the fact that the neighborhood is 400 feet above sea level. “Bigger, Better, Beautiful” was the LRV slogan. The homes quickly sold in the post-WWII building boom and our Village has been a great place to raise a family ever since.

The price notated in pencil on the back of the brochure by the homeowner for a semi-detached unit on Myamby was $15,750. Times have changed – and so has the dollar – but thankfully so many of the amenities of living in an LRV home have stayed the same and our sturdy yet elegant houses, complete with red oak fl ooring and plaster walls, were built to last.

SEPTEMBER 10th

Loch Raven AcademyCongratulations to our own Offi cer Gregory Suber of Baltimore County Police for receiving the SRO (School Resource Offi cer) Award for middle schools for the 2015-2016 school year. Resource Offi cers in our middle and high schools serve an important function and frequently act as mentors and counselors as well as law enforcement offi cials. Offi cer Suber was honored with his award and told reporters “There’s a saying that if you fi nd a job that you love you’ll never have to work a day in your life, and I’ve found that job …so it’s not like work to me.” According to Stacey Johnson, Principal at LRTA, Offi cer Suber is a member of the Loch Raven family. “He truly goes above and beyond for all of our students and he has all of our students’ best interests at heart,” says Ms. Johnson.

Thoughts on Thanksgiving from humorist Garrison Keillor“...And that’s the challenge of Thanksgiving — to gather among our kin who know us a little too well and have an amiable occasion enjoyed equally by all, at which nobody is stabbed through the heart with a carving knife...It is the dinner of all dinners, generous and comforting and completely predictable, and a true test of civility, and we do it in gratitude for the simple goodness of life. ”

Sam Cucuzzella of Cottage Lane graduated in style from Cromwell Valley Elementary School and will celebrate his birthday on August 15. And his sister Mia Clare Cucuzzella is thrilled to have the fi reworks back in the neighborhood to celebrate her 10th birthday on July 4!

SAVE THE BAY!Are you enjoying steamed local Maryland blue crabs this summer? Swimming at one of the many beaches along the Bay? Fishing? Boating? Then please remem-

ber to protect the Bay for the future by not allowing unnecessary de-bris to wash into storm drains. In fact, it’s a misde-

meanor in Baltimore County Code (see Sec 18-3-109) to “...place, deposit, cast, or throw on, or into any road, street, side-walk, lane, alley, bridge, or drain in the county.... grass clippings, leaves, or other object(s) or article(s)...” Baltimore Coun-ty provides free bi-weekly pick-up of yard waste to our community with the regu-lar collection of recyclables. Consider the Bay when disposing of yard waste and if you have a lawn service, please ask them to sweep up rather than blowing every-thing into the street!

The Fun Will Continue!Save these dates for more movie nights on the lawn at Babcock Presbyterian Church!September 9- Peanuts MovieSeptember 16- ZootopiaSeptember 23 – PaddingtonSnacks and drinks will be provided. Mov-ie nights are sponsored by The Associates of Loch Raven Village and Babcock Pres-byterian Church. Many thanks to those individuals who organize and support these fun evenings for our neighborhood!

COP News and ViewsPatrolling Loch Raven Village streets and alleys gives one an opportunity to observe the variety of property presentations in what otherwise looks like sameness. True, the homes do look very much alike, but there are subtle differences not observed when just driving by heading to the store. On the east side of the village there are end of group homes that are actually apartments. The footprint of these homes are a little larger than the typical end of group home and are easily identifi ed by the window arrangement on the side. A few end of group homes look just like inside group homes. You might not even notice the difference.

One the west side the homes near Loch Raven Blvd. were built circa 1953 and some of those homes were built as apartments with kitchens on the fi rst and second fl oor! These can be spotted by the presence of an exhaust fan on the second fl oor rear. And some of the end of group homes are the same size as the inside group homes. Also, on the west side, the section north of Putty Hill Avenue have a convenient sidewalk cut through from Doxbury to Putty Hill Ave. leading to the Pleasant Plains Elementary School site. See how homeowners take pride in their property! At this time of year yard treatments range from simplicity to beautiful gardens and landscaping. Just drive slowly down our alleys to note backyard gardens that you otherwise would not know exist. Of course, the front yards with manicured lawns and trimmed shrubs are easily seen.

COP patrolling gives you opportunity to see some lovely properties in an approximately one-hour tour of the Village. Seasonal decorations around the 4th of July, Halloween and Christmas

give an expanded view of how residents enjoy the Village. Join COP and see the Village in its detail by contacting John Kelly at [email protected].
