Thomas Farm Rezoned to Allow Higher Density Housing
County commissioners approve three rezoning requests and deny one after hearings. Urban Systems Development Corp seeks R-2 density for Thomas Farm on O Possumtown Pike, south of Poole Jones Road, to extend a planned unit development already approved for about 700 units. Sewer capacity concerns loom, with a second line needed for future growth as Land Limited of America outlines plans for nearby high and medium density projects and the annexed Lease Farm to add 1,260 housing units.

Mandel Proposes Drastic Overhaul of Maryland Auto Insurance
Maryland Governor Marvin Mandel outlines a tentative plan to require all motorists to carry insurance and to introduce a limited no fault system. The proposal would empower the state insurance commissioner with broader oversight, curb cancellations and nonrenewals, cap rate increases, and set up a state-backed option for drivers denied coverage. It also includes limits on lawyers fees and changes to permit more personal injury cases in district court.
