A Letter from the General Manager
The State of the Association by Bob Kimble Thank you for the warm and enthusiastic welcome since my arrival to the Lake Linganore Community in December of 2012. My family and I are overwhelmed by the kindness of the great people in this beautiful community. Lake Linganore has proven to be a rewarding environment to me – both professionally & personally. We have accomplished some monumental tasks in the last eight months and are excited about working on the future developments yet to come.
Association Operations
Of late, infrastructure has been at the forefront of operational priorities. We had a sinkhole on Eaglehead Drive which was unfortunate and unforeseen; but, nevertheless, we had to deal with it and repair and replace the culvert pipe across Eaglehead Drive. In lock-step with the repairs on Eaglehead Drive, we also addressed the necessary repairs to damaged roads in Pinehurst. As of September 2013, we are nearing completion of our planned paving on Pinehurst Drive and Twin Lakes Drive. We commend Pinehurst residents for their patience throughout the CDA process. We have identified storm-water management issues in Pinehurst during the paving project and we will be working to address these concerns during the Fall of 2013.
LLA—Developer: Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
Setting the tone and vision this year was the critical and historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that was signed and executed by the Association with the Developer. This MOU was recorded in Frederick County and is binding upon the current Developer (Oakdale Investments LLC) and any future developers. This MOU will add some $10 - $11 million dollars directly to the Association’s amenities and infrastructure over the next 20 – 25 years. The MOU included several parcels of land which will be donated to the Association by Oakdale Investments. One parcel includes approximately 20 acres and will be used to set up a dredging site

Special Edition 2013
for Lake Linganore. This parcel, upon completion of the dredging operations, could provide the Association with additional amenity areas such as sports fields and a dog park, as well as, picnic areas and potentially a marina. Another tract of land is on Northshore Drive and is over two acres. This parcel borders the lake and could serve multiple uses. This land could serve as a marina, additional beach, or perhaps provide marina parking and a park-like atmosphere with additional picnic areas. There are many possibilities and future discussions will be necessary to determine the use of this parcel. This parcel was originally slated for home sites, but now will provide other opportunities for our community. Another parcel being donated is known as the Barn Area. This site is an eight acre parcel and will be the future site of our new community center. The developer valued this parcel at one million dollars! It is zoned commercial and is very central to this great community. The possibilities are endless with a community center. The Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) will be working on this project and many others over the coming months. In the interest of preservation, the MOU also includes the “Indian Caves.” This land will be deeded to the Association and the preservation of its beauty will be here to enjoy for generations to come. We are very fortunate that this site is now protected from future development. In order to ensure that the beauty of the lake will be enjoyed for years to come, we have incorporated a tree buffer into the MOU. This 100 foot buffer to the lake means that nothing can be developed and trees cannot be removed (except for possible utility connections, if necessary). This buffer area will also be turned over to the Association and will become part of the preservation and way of life around beautiful Lake Linganore.
The DRRA: Development Rights & Responsibilities Agreement
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has created many positive assurances and commitments that will benefit Lake Linganore in the future. In return, the Association wanted to foster
a stable environment for the Developer’s operations. To ensure future stability, the Association petitioned for, and supported, the approval of the Development Rights & Responsibilities Agreement (DRRA). In May of 2013 the Frederick County Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing and ultimately approved the DRRA. Similar to the MOU document between the LLA and the Developer, the DRRA document is an agreement between Frederick County and the Developer (Oakdale Investments LLC). Each party specifies expectations and guidelines for moving forward, until terms are mutually agreeable. The approval of the DRRA will give the Developer the security and stability needed in order to move forward with massive investments and maintain confidence over the next 25 years. The DRRA will improve significant infrastructure surrounding Lake Linganore, including the expansion and repair of roadways. The DRRA also includes language for the addition of a new ramp to better connect New Market to Interstate 70. This new highway connection will create access from Route 144 and help to alleviate local congestion. Lastly, and perhaps most significant to Association residents, is the commitment to develop the Eaglehead Bridge. The Eaglehead Bridge will traverse the Dam and connect Eaglehead Drive to the proposed commercial center and Oakdale High School.

Over the coming months we will be working with Frederick County and Frederick City to attempt to spearhead a joint dredging program with these two entities. We have engaged an independent dredging specialist to be a Project Manager for this operation. Lake Linganore is the number one asset of this community and the health of the lake is a driving force on all property values within Eaglehead. Lake dredging is not a wish list item—the sustainability of the Lake directly affects everyone and will be brought to the forefront of our community over the next year.
Meaningful Dialogue
2013 was a year full of productive debate within our community. Over the coming years, Lake Linganore will face infrastructure-related challenges generated from within the community and pressures from outside of the community. I hope that homeowners will engage in opportunities to become involved in this decision making process. Henry Ford said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” I hope that we as a community can all work together and bring prosperity to this great community we all call home.

About the Association
Lake Linganore at Eaglehead is a rural lake community situated in the southeast section of Frederick County Maryland, just east of the city of Frederick and 45 miles from both Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland. Originally planned in 1968 as a "new town" by the original developer, Linganore Corporation (J. William Brosius and Louie J. Brosius), Eaglehead was the county's first planned unit development (PUD). The community of villages is centered around a system of lakes, the centerpiece of which is Lake Linganore, a 210-acre lake. Lake Linganore is the largest privately owned lake in the state of Maryland. The management of the Eaglehead community is accommodated through the operation of the Lake Linganore Association Inc. (LLA), a homeowners association (HOA) which represents and serves the interests of the HOA corporation and its property owners within the PUD. The Association is guided by an elected Board of Directors who operate under direction of the legal covenants of the corporate charter. The Association is supervised and maintained by an in-house Management Staff.

The Developer’s Note Over the past several years, there have been countless hours of discussion among the residents of Lake Linganore, LLA staff and board member, developer representatives and citizens of Frederick County about the continuation of development plans for Lake Linganore. On June 18, 2013 the outcome of these discussions came to fruition with a vote by the Frederick County Board of County Commissioners in favor of a Development Rights and Responsibilities Agreement, or DRRA, for Lake Linganore. This DRRA will be the primary document to guide and direct all future growth within Lake Linganore. I want to thank all the residents, board members and staff who worked to let your voices be heard through hundreds of phone calls, emails, and petitions directed to the County Commissioners as well as to those residents who came out to the public hearing! Although the adoption of the DRRA is a significant milestone, it is not the final stop on this journey. We expect there could be appeals to the Board of Appeals where we will appreciate a reiteration of support from the community. Additionally, there will be a hearing in September 2013, on our Tax Increment Financing and Community Development Authority proposal which will provide a financing mechanism to assist in expediting the construction of the missing ramps onto I-70 at Meadow Road and the Eaglehead Drive bridge. Watch out for more specific details in e-blasts from the LLA.
Now, what next? As a part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that was adopted between the Lake Linganore Association and Oakdale Investments, we will be initiating development of a comprehensive Amenities Plan for Lake Linganore. This plan will consider current amenities within current Lake Linganore villages, as well as future opportunities in areas yet to be constructed. The starting point of this plan will be the Amenity Survey which was conducted last year by the Strategic Planning Committee. Items frequently mentioned were the community center, improved trails, parking at beaches, boat storage, dog park, skate park, play fields and many more. We need your help to ensure that this plan meets the needs of existing Lake Linganore community members as well as future residents. Throughout the Fall of 2013 we plan to hold several stakeholder sessions in order to gather community input and to present drafts of the plan for discussion. We hope to have as many voices heard as possible and will establish an engaging process with multiple communication mechanisms. Residents will be able to weigh into this plan both in person and through other methods. Our goal is to create a plan that is realistic and achievable with an action plan to move towards implementation. We look forward hearing from the community as this Amenity Plan is developed so look out for more details on the process within the coming month. Best wishes for a safe start to the new school year!

Committees
Village Committees The LLA has several village committees that act as representatives for their respective villages to plan, discuss, and bring topics to the LLA Board of Directors on behalf of their neighbors. Members are encouraged to attend their village meetings where they can bring matters to the attention of their village committee chair person, who will then relay the needs to the Board of Directors who have the power and authority to take action. Visit the LLA web site at www.lakelinganore.org to learn more about your Village Committee. Basic information is also available in LakeTalk.

Community Patrol
The LLA employs a staff of officers from a regional security firm to serve as community patrol officers. These officers oversee the common areas and amenities to ensure that trespassers are not present and to enforce the privacy of these facilities for members in good standing. These officers also enforce LLA rules and regulations on all community property. This is a year-round service. If you are experiencing an emergency, always call 911.
Dams
Each of the lakes are created by an earthen dam. Lake Linganore is impounded by the J. William Brosius Dam, named for the father of the original Eaglehead developers. The dam was dedicated in 1972 and is marked with a six-foot stone bearing a bronze plaque with information about the namesake. Though the dam is owned by the LLA, which is responsible for the care and maintenance of all the community dams, the city of Frederick has been an active partner in helping to upgrade them and ensure they meet the standards required by the Maryland Dam Safety Division of the Department of Natural Resources.
Dogs on Eaglehead Property
Between Memorial Day and Labor Day (summer season), dogs are only permitted on the beach from 7pm10pm. The LLA strongly encourages leash use. It is against Frederick County ordinance to allow dogs or any other pet to run loose. All dogs must be under the physical control of its owner. LLA formally adopted the county’s animal ordinance as consistent with the association regulations and restrictions. Members and/or their guests may expect a citation of violation by the LLA for any such violation, as well as those that may be issued by Frederick County.
Doggi-Pot Stations
The primary responsibility of dog owners is to clean up after your pet while out walking in the community. Throughout each village the LLA provides doggi-pot stations along trails and pathways, as well as open common areas. These stations provide owners with bags with which to clean up dog waste. Please dispose of your dog waste at home. 18

Expiration Stickers
Expiration stickers are issued annually to members who are in compliance with their HOA dues and do not have any ECC or Compliance violations. Stickers must be placed on the following membership materials (Photo Id Cards, Vehicle Tags, Boat Permits & Trailer Permits) in order to validate them and allow access to the amenities and common areas.
Eaglehead Community Preservation Corporation
ECPC has been formed exclusively for charitable purposes and in particular to lessen the burdens of the county government. Among other things ECPC will assume the county’s obligation to construct needed roadways in the community of Eaglehead. The new roadways will provide environmentally beneficial public ingress and egress, as a result fire protection and other emergency vehicles response times will reduce the risk of future losses to life and property by fire or other causes. The new roadways will aid in the protection of the environment for Lake Linganore and its tributaries. ECPC’s current projects are the roads and infrastructure for Aspen North, the first platted village in Lake Linganore. Funds for the construction of the roadways will be raised from the creation of a special taxing district and the dedication of the proceeds of revenue bonds that will be approved and issued by the County. The County will levy a tax on the Aspen North Village to repay the bonds.
Fishing
State Requirements All flowing waters are owned by the State of Maryland and as a result all state laws regarding flowing waters are in effect and do impact usage on Eaglehead lakes, which are privately owned by the LLA. You are required to license your boat with the state and must obtain a state license to fish on Eaglehead lakes. Eaglehead lakes are privately owned and only LLA members are permitted to fish or boat on them. Please make sure that you have the appropriate LLA and Maryland State credentials. You can obtain a State fishing license at: http://dnr.maryland.gov/service/license.asp
LLA Requirements Fishing for bass in Eaglehead lakes is ‘catch-and- release’ only. Your boat must be registered with the LLA. The annual fee to register a boat is $25.
Golf Carts

Lakes
There are four lakes in Eaglehead. These lakes are for the exclusive use and enjoyment of Linganore members. Lake Linganore The largest of the lakes is Lake Linganore, which is approximately 209-acres with 13 miles of shoreline. This lake has two beaches, one located in the Coldstream Village on the northern shoreline, and the other located in the Nightingale Village on the southern shoreline. The lake was created by impounding the waters of Linganore Creek and Ben’s Branch with the Brosius Dam, named for the father of the original community developers. Permission to create the lake was granted only with the condition that the community never impede the flow of the water of Linganore Creek because historically it has been a major source of drinking water for the nearby City of Frederick since the early 20th century. Snow melts and heavy spring rains cause much of the sand at the beaches to be washed away so every year about midMay new sand is placed on the beaches, depending upon weather trends. The lake is 50-feet at its deepest spot. Lake Merle Lake Merle is located in the Meadows village. It has a small beach at its northern shoreline, located at the end of Fox Chase Road.
Lake Anita Louise Lake Anita Louise is located in the Pinehurst village. This lake does not have a beach but does have a dock from which fishermen can try their hand at catching some of the small and large-mouth bass, crappie and blue gill that live in the lake. Lake Marian Lake Marian is located along Eaglehead Drive heading toward the Woodridge village. This lake does not have a beach or a dock but there is a trail that circles a portion of the shoreline and allows for fishing.
Membership Identification Cards
Members are issued photo ID membership cards that allow access to community amenities. When out using the amenities, members must carry their cards with them. Because of the large number of trespassers who attempt to use the amenities, members must have their ID cards while at the pools, lakes, beaches, dams, parks, trails, playgrounds and tennis courts to be able to prove membership to community patrol officers if asked. To get your card: you must visit the LLA office at 6718 Coldstream Drive, where your photo will be taken and the card will be produced while you wait. Lost ID Cards: Call the office to see if anyone has turned in your ID. If so we can mail it to you or you may pick it up. ID’s can be reprinted for $10 (cash or check).
Membership Type/Status
The Lake Linganore Association (LLA) Board of Directors has reviewed the LLA governing documents to provide a more concise definition of membership. By LLA covenants, a ‘member’ (those who are entitled to membership cards, parking tags and free use of LLA amenities) is strictly defined as the owner and their dependents. However, the Board of Directors recognizes that there may be some unusual circumstances where a membership card and /or parking tags could be issued to others within a household. Member/Owner This is a person who is the legal owner of a property in Lake Linganore, (ie. This person/s name is on the deed).

Winter Weather Plan
The LLA handles all snow removal activities, including those roads within Eaglehead that are owned by Frederick County. The winter plan is published in the fall and winter issues of LakeTalk and is on the LLA web site (www.lakelinganore.org) year ’round. The LLA Winter Weather Plan is to be enacted anytime there is the potential for a winter precipitation event including snow, sleet and / or freezing rain as pronounced by the National Weather Service. The purpose of this plan is to ensure that roadways are clear of vehicle traffic and parked cars to allow for the safe passage of snow removal equipment and / or emergency service vehicles. This plan will go into effect no more than eight hours prior to the forecasted weather event and will remain in effect no more than eight hours after precipitation has ceased.
Residents are asked to do the following in snow emergency situations: •
Do not park on the streets; park in your garage or driveway so that snow plows can do their job and emergency vehicles can get through, if needed.
•
Please remove all basketball hoops, soccer nets, and other portable items that may be damaged by snow plows.
•

This is not a club but an online community for residents of Eaglehead at Lake Linganore. There is a buy/sell/trade marketplace, invitations, community calendar, photo sharing, neighborhood directory, local recommendations, even a neighborhood resources section that LLA could use. There are currently many conversations taking place online via email, the lake linganore group on Yahoo, and various conversations on facebook, but none of them involve the whole community. This site is a place where everyone who lives here can participate or simply pay attention to the conversations regarding amenities, neighborhood watch, golf carts, LLA elections, etc. Since you have to be a resident and verify your address to join, its a bit safer than using more public spaces like Facebook and Yahoo when voicing personal information and opinions.

These children live in various settings including group homes, shelters and temporary housing and are shuffled often from one place to another. Many of them have been abandoned, abused or neglected. Most of these children have never enjoyed the simple comfort of having a mother or father tuck them in at bedtime with warm, clean pajamas and a bedtime story. Some of the children we serve are living with their families below the poverty level, in desperate need of food, clothing and shelter. Pajama Program celebrated its 10th Birthday serving children this past year, 2011. We have now provided more than 1 MILLION new pajamas and new books to children in need nationwide.

Selling Your Home? Resale Disclosure Inspection
Sellers of homes or property within the Lake Linganore Association are required by law to provide disclosure information to prospective buyers. A resale disclosure initiates an inspection to be done by LLA staff for any compliance or ECC violations that may exist on the property. The starting fee for a resale package is $150.00. The requestor can have the documents delivered in various forms, including a PDF sent via email. From the time you submit your request to www.condocerts. com, you should expect the inspection to be completed within 3-5 business days. A resale disclosure letter will be generated and will be released, along with all other LLA Governing Documents, at that time.
Request a Resale Inspection To initiate a resale disclosure inspection, go to: www.condocerts.com
You will create an account that will contain all information related to the resale. You will then be prompted to follow the process and provide information related to the subject property. Payment for this service will be required upon requesting the resale package. Payment can be made directly to www.condocerts.com by credit card through their system. Upon submission, this information will be sent to LLA to perform a resale disclosure inspection. The inspection includes an overall survey of the condition of the exterior of the home and/or lot to determine if the conditions are acceptable, and also to determine if there are any exterior modifications or structures (i.e. shed, deck, fence, etc.) that have not been approved. Upon completion of the resale disclosure inspection by LLA, a copy of the inspection report is generated within www.condocerts.com that contains any Covenant/ECC violations or unapproved structures. Unapproved structures and/or violations are the responsibility of the seller or owner to make corrective action. A buyer who accepts a property with unapproved structures and/or violations will be responsible to resolve any of these inherited issues.

Maintenance & Infrastructure Brosius Dam
Water cascaded over the top of the Brosius Dam on June 3, 1972, the same year it received two honor awards, one for Environmental Excellence in Architecture & Engineering, and the second for Engineering Excellence from the Consulting Engineers Council, USA. A 600-foot long rock-and-earth-fill dam impounds a 204-acre body of water known as Lake Linganore, named for the larger of the two creeks that feed the lake. Brosius Rock, the boulder located at the corner entrance of the earthen dam, has a carved inscription that dedicates the dam—the Brosius Dam— to J. William Brosius, the father of Eaglehead’s original developers. Incorporated into the design of the Brosius Dam are 11 fountains along the northern wing of the dam area.
Lake Linganore Conservation Society (LLCS)
State Enabling Legislation established a process to allow Frederick County to create Special Tax Districts, referred to as CDA’s. A “C.D.A”. is a Community Development Authority and is utilized for financing roadway and stormwater management improvements. Under this authority, the residents of Lake Linganore have agreed to tax themselves to pay for these improvements. The mission of the Lake Linganore Conservation Society, (LLCS) is to help preserve and protect the lakes and streams of the community of Lake Linganore at Eaglehead by developing roads constructed to an environmentally conscious design; by building stormwater management systems; and by increasing public awareness and appreciation of the lakes and the importance of proper watershed management practices through education, field studies, advocacy and lake restoration activities. LLCS has a Board of Directors, which consists of members with a working knowledge of the documentation authorizing the Lake Linganore Community Development Authority.
Maintenance Concerns
LLA residents can report maintenance concerns by contacting a Village Manager, who in turn forwards the resident’s concern to appropriate LLA Staff responsible for addressing the issue. Upon receipt of the maintenance concern, LLA Staff members will investigate the issue and determine the correct means and method for addressing it. Whether through a Service Request directly to LLA Maintenance Staff or through an outside contractor, who will be solicited for a quote for executing the appropriate service. All maintenance concerns are addressed as rapidly as possible. Upon completion of a Service Request or contracted work, LLA Management Staff inspects all of the work performed both during and upon completion to assure satisfactory results before informing the Village Manager who first forwarded the concern. You may report a concern by going online to: http://www.lakelinganore.org/contact-us/ Or Call: 301-831-6400 x112/x116

Community Security & Safety Fred.Co. Security Surveys
Security Surveys are a free service that the FCSO offers and it’s a great preventive and educational tool to help homeowners safeguard themselves from crime by making their homes less attractive to criminals. Surveys take approximately 45 minutes to an hour and will be performed by a Deputy who’s certified to perform them. One of the homeowners have to be at the house at the time of the survey. Renter’s can have a survey conducted, but the owners, if they can’t be present, must be aware of the survey and have granted permission for the survey to be done. The surveys focus on locks, doors, windows and lighting. The survey covers the exterior and interior of the home and property, and the homeowner will receive a copy of the completed survey with the suggested recommendations at the conclusion of the survey.
