Castle Blaney Storage Shed Petition


Castle Blaney Homeowners Petition to ask for a revision to
the covenants to allow storage sheds on properties located within the Castle
Blaney Community. We would like the Home Owners Association to consider
changing the covenants to revise the section on Temporary Structure which do
not allow outside Storage Structures on our properties. We would recommend
limiting the Sheds / Storage Structures in size, color, and type of structure
allowed and a submission of an Architectural Change Form would be required
prior to construction. The Architectural Change Form should be changed or a
separate section should be added indicating size, color, material, desired
location and type of structure. The structure should be placed within set guidelines
established by the Harford County Zoning ordinances and permits shall be acquired
if needed. Also, Storage Structures will not be placed in common areas as
defined by the HOA. Sheds sizes should be no taller than 10’ (10 feet) and with
a square footage no greater than 160 square feet. . Sheds should only be constructed with a gable style roof ( No barn or shed style roofs). All materials should be of either wood with
shingles or of a vinyl/resin siding type material (no metal sheds or pre-fabricated
plastic sheds). The color scheme should match the existing color scheme of the home
on the property. Sheds should also be maintained
so as they do not become eyesores and they must be only located within the
confines of the properties back yard and should not impede the neighboring
yards or properties. While these are just recommendations the HOA would have
final approval via the Architectural Change process. By allowing these changes
it would allow residents additional storage abilities and enable residents to
park inside of their garages as they are intended. This should also reduce the
number of vehicles parked on streets, and blocking sidewalks used by
pedestrians. We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge the Castle
Blaney Home Owners Association to act now to revise the current covenants to
allow Outside Storage Sheds on properties located within the Castle Blaney Sub
Division.
