Yeah, Baltimore County has some areas that border the Chesapeake Bay, so that's probably why that section is in there. Needless to say, it doesn't really apply to Owings Mills. ;)

Where did you find this? I was considering building a 24x40 in my backyard, and I didn't see any such restriction on any of the Baltimore County web sites...

Painter's tape. For me, with my car on the left side of the garage, one piece on the wall to roughly align me, the other piece on the ground next to the driver's door. Pull in while looking to the left and with my back firmly against the seat until the painter's tape on the wall is aligned...
