Stolen metal eagle heads back to nest
A $20,000 stolen metal eagle that was recovered along with a cache of weapons and other contraband from a Glen Burnie home will soon return home, Anne Arundel County police said yesterday.
The stainless-steel sculpture, which depicts the eagle in mid-flight and has a 10-foot wingspan, belongs to a larger sculpture that includes another eagle and a 15-foot stainless-steel tree. It stands on the grounds of the Highpoint 100 business park on Coca Cola Drive in Elkridge, Howard County. The entire artwork, by Montana-based artist Jim Dolan, has an estimated value of $70,000, said Ellington Churchill Jr., a senior project manager with Liberty Property Trust, the developer of the business park.

Open-parcels measure at issue before council
Howard County Council members hope to resolve their differences today on several bills and resolutions set for a July 7 vote, including one intended to help preserve small, open lots in older, developed neighborhoods.
The bill, introduced by council chairman Courtney Watson, an Ellicott City Democrat, would allow the owners of developable lots to sell the building rights, leaving the lots vacant and preventing large new homes from popping up amid staid, more traditional homes.
Builders who buy these rights would get a 10 percent density increase, allowing more new homes to rise on parcels of more than 15 acres in certain zones. The county planning board approved it unanimously.
