Planning is a continuous process. As conditions change and new information becomes available, objectives may change and goals and policies may be modified. This plan must be responsive to change, forward-looking and publicly supported. It should be regularly reviewed and revised, if necessary, to reflect the community's changing attitudes and desires. Comprehensive Planning for a 10-year horizon is an involved process, which reflects the needs and desires of the community it is to benefit. A plan should give the public, business and government agencies a clear understanding of the municipality’s intentions and desires regarding its future development, which will lead to greater cooperation and minimization of potential conflicts. At its most basic, the planning process includes steps to organize, review, prepare and communicate.

    Baltimore Area Ultra Runner List

    Baltimore Area Ultra Runner List The purpose of the Baltimore Area Ultra Runner (BAUR) List is to identify those individuals in the Baltimore Running Community that have completed running events greater than the traditional marathon distance (26.2 miles) and highlight their accomplishments. The BAUR List started in January 2010 and it is similar to a document compiled by the RASAC Running Club in Harford County, Maryland that focuses on members of their club. It is hoped that this list will identify those pioneers of distance running in the Baltimore Region and encourage others to participate in our sport. In 2014 the BAUR list expanded its geographic area to include runners in Central Maryland that asked to be included on this list. Criteria for inclusion into the Baltimore Area Ultra Runner List: 1. You must have finished at least 1 ultra race. This is any organized distance event greater than 26.2 miles in length. 2. Training runs do not count. 3. A- You must finish the race. You cannot dropout of a race and still have it count toward the list. B- However, if a race provides official credit for a partial distance covered in their official results as a separate event, this will be considered an official ultra finish. (i.e. Runners in the Umstead 100 Miler, completing at least 50 miles, are included in the Umstead 50 Mile Results) 4. Ranking is by total mileage completed. 5. Time and place in the running events are not considered. 6. Eligibility is not limited to Baltimore Road Runners Club members and BRRC membership is not required.

    WALKS in the Pine Creek WATERSHED

    WALKS in the Pine Creek WATERSHED To promote the importance of the local watershed to area residents and to encourage everyone to enjoy its natural beauty and diversity, the Outreach Committee of the Pine Creek Watershed Assessment has developed five self-guided walking tours of the watershed. These hikes average an hour of walking. For safety, always hike with a partner and for the protection of plant and animal life, stay on the trails. Taking along a small plastic bag to carry away some litter from along the trail is a simple way to further enhance these natural resources. Take a camera and share with us your walk in the watershed! 1) IRMA KOST NATURAL AREA This beautiful area is at the eastern end of the Hampton Municipal Park. To get there go 1.4 miles north of the intersection of Route 8 and Duncan Avenue (Green Belt) past Harts Run Road on the right, to McCully Rd. (just before Craighead office complex). This is a dangerous right hand turn so go slowly off Route 8. Continue another 1.3 miles passing the Hampton High School, Hampton Park, the Red Barn Theatre, & Hampton Municipal Building, to the third downhill slope. A good-size gravel parking area on the left is at the entrance to the Irma Kost Area. An attractive sign marks the spot. This valley includes the headwaters of Gourdhead Run, a tributary to Pine Creek. A lovely grove of mature and growing beech trees are a highlight of the area, with large cherry, oaks, maple, ash and other hardwoods dominating the area.
