4.0 DESCRIPTION

Lake Linganore at Eaglehead is a Planned Unit Development, or PUD
which was established in 1968 for development of a rural area located
several miles to the west of Frederick, Maryland. Dams were constructed
to create several lakes around which the community is focused. Currently
there are 2,506 improved dwellings and 536 vacant lots, for a total of
3,042 units in the development. There are still undeveloped parcels within
the PUD and additional units are planned.
Lake Linganore Association was established to maintain the open spaces
and recreational facilities for the community. The PUD was originally
established with all privately owned infrastructure including roads,
stormwater management systems, domestic water and sanitary sewer
services. Subsequently, the domestic water and sanitary sewer systems
have been taken over by the municipality. However, most of the roads and
the storm water systems are still the responsibility of the Association.
The LLA offices are located in a shared building with the Coldstream
swimming pool facility. Other buildings maintained by the Association
include: Summerfield and West Winds pool buildings and a "Cabanas"
building at the Coldstream pool. Seasonal cabana rentals are available to
community residents.
In addition to the roads and storm water systems, the Association is
responsible for: three public beach areas, three outdoor swimming pools,
two outdoor tennis court sites (8 courts total), five basketball courts and
12 children's playgrounds, or tot lots. The Association also maintains
several vehicles and equipment used in the management of the facilities.

5.0 STORMWATER
5.1 Storm Drainage
Description

Evaluation &
Recommendations

Storm drainage in the development consists of underground piping, catch
basins in roadways, and roadside swales. There are also five stormwater
management basins located within the West Winds Village. There is a
stormwater management basin located within Woodridge Village that
appears to be associated with the new construction currently in progress.
This basin still contains temporary soil erosion control measures that will
have to be removed once construction is complete and the surrounding
drainage area is stabilized.
Most of the storm drainage system is below ground and could not be
visually inspected. Most surface structures such as catch basins,
manholes, headwalls and lined channels appeared to be in good condition.
Annual maintenance would include cleaning of catch basins, removal of
sediment and debris in roadside swales and channels, and cleaning of
outlet structure trash racks in stormwater management basins.
Within the reserve study we included a line item for emergency drainage
system repairs in each of the villages, based on the approximate overall
length of the roadways in the particular village, as well as line items for
outlet structure repairs for all the stormwater management basins. The
storm drainage system is a long lived item, however, as the community
ages, deterioration of some of the underground piping and structures can
