The dispute about the Old Trail housing development in Harford County’s Joppatowne community ought to be a simple matter of a disagreement between a builder and local officials over permits and stormwater plans. The long-stalled project has been churning its way through the county’s development process for well over a decade, and now officials believe the builder needs to file new bond documents and other paperwork and — most consequentially — to demonstrate compliance with new stormwater management rules that went into effect in the intervening years. The developer argues that its filings are up to date and that under law it should be grandfathered into the old stormwater standards.
All in all, ho-hum stuff that at most might wind up in circuit court.
But instead, it’s the subject of a multi-million-dollar lawsuit in federal court, thanks to the unfortunate coincidence that the development is now being marketed as a retirement community for a particular sect of Muslims, and it happens to be in Maryland’s 7th Legislative District, home to the infamous duo of demagogues, Dels. Pat McDonough and Rick Impallaria.
