Livio Broccolino called the meeting to order at 7:30pm.

Livio asked that we change the order of the agenda.

Livio introduced new and old board members.

1. ARC Committee - Art Rogers

• 1302 Woods Hole Road: recommendation for approval, motion approved Art praised Gerri for getting news out in newsletter about the ARC.
• 1402 Gateshead Road: bump out in front, addition to both sides, wall in rear – recommendation for approval, motion approved. Brandon Diamond suggested a letter of approval include suggestions about Hampton’s natural open spaces and the county regulation that for each foot of height, the proposed wall needs to be a foot from property line.

2. New business: 1307 Dulaney Valley Road: The back lot is currently under construction. A permit has been applied for building on the south side of the easement known as 1307 Dulaney Valley Road. Hampton covenants permit one building per lot – if development company attempts building - legal action would be considered to prevent violation of covenants.

7. Communication: Newsletter: Gerri reported that the newsletter would include:

• crime report - coverage of the several homes under construction in Hampton
• news about pool accepting membership resident
• A concerned resident complained that past newsletters contained minutes misrepresenting the removal of trees on Hampton Lane during a period of recent home building. Earlier minutes published in the newsletter misrepresented the number of trees removed during construction. The resident was offended that the minutes did not explain the measures the builder and home owners took to remove as few trees as possible, between 20-25 trees per property and that the builder made a donation of $5000 to have planting take place in a corresponding green space. She asked that the current minutes reflect this updated information.

The estate of Harold Burns currently maintains the property. Howard Burns requested that Park be named after his late father.

9. New Business:
