Jerry Kline (right), realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland, appears with multi-transaction clients Matt & Gail. Jerry recently helped Matt & Gail sell their long-time home in Bowie, Maryland, and purchase a new home in the pastoral Anne Arundel County community of Davidsonville.

Matt J. was exploring the back roads of Davidsonville on his motorcycle one day last spring when he suddenly started thinking about what it would be like to live there. Characterized by large, wooded lots, winding, two-lane roads and dozens of pastoral horse farms, Davidsonville is a place that draws people who seek a quieter, slower way of life.

So, Matt & his wife, Gail, decided to make a change. They contacted Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland, to help them sell their Bowie home and purchase a new property in Davidsonville’s Harbor Hills community. Both transactions recently closed.

"Jerry was our realtor for both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing home,” Matt said. “My wife and I were both extremely happy with him. He is very knowledgeable and professional, and importantly, he is organized and extremely responsive.”

The series of transactions was particularly complex because the purchase of Matt’s new home was done as part of a corporate relocation, which added several other parties and layers of paperwork to the project.

“Jerry kept track of everything that needed to be done to make both our home purchase and sale as smooth as possible,” Matt said. “He reached out to us without delay when appropriate and was always quick to respond when we reached out to him. He will be our first choice if/when we move again."

Congratulations on your new home purchase, Matt & Gail! Davidsonville is a wonderful community, and we’re sure you’re going to love living there!

Anne Arundel County Property Owners Face Stiff New Vegetation-Removal Rules

e22e05d1-28d0-449e-b94e-6565a2e08104_1

Effective April 16, prior county approval is needed to cut, prune or remove vegetation within 1,000 feet of tidal waters, tidal wetlands

Anne Arundel County property owners seeking to cut, prune or remove natural vegetation anywhere within 1,000 feet of tidal waters or tidal wetlands must now obtain prior approval of such activities or face stiff penalties.

Under new county regulations that took effect April 16, affected property owners must submit -- and obtain prior county approval of -- a standard vegetation/buffer management plan before removing any existing natural vegetation within key areas. Such areas include designated Critical Areas, buffers and expanded buffers, areas subject to Forest Conservation Easements and all properties containing bogs and bog buffers.

Property owners, contractors and other individuals found performing unapproved work on site are subject to fines, mitigation requirements and civil and/or criminal prosecution.

The new vegetation-protection initiative was adopted under Anne Arundel County Legislative Bill 93-12. The county’s Department of Inspections and Permits recently issued a formal notice to local arbor contractors outlining the new requirements.

The legislation contains certain mitigation (replacement) requirements for existing natural vegetation approved for removal and includes allowable clearing thresholds for affected properties.

The county’s notice to arbor contractors clarifies that activities involving earth disturbance, including grading, hardscaping and other construction and development activities, remain subject to a standard grading plan, and cannot be approved under a standard vegetation/buffer management plan.

For more information on the new rules, contact the county’s Code Compliance Division/Forestry Section at (410) 222-7441.
