He said the MJC, when the Maryland Racing Commission considers the proposal, would notify the regulatory agency of the agreement. When the Zoning Board of Appeals approved the OTB plan July 6, MJC President Sal Sinatra said the company wouldn’t pursue the OTB parlor without an agreement on parking. Like other OTB facilities in Maryland, the Hampstead parlor would be a partnership among the Maryland Jockey Club, Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association and the operator, Greenmount Station, which will provide food service to OTB patrons. Bowling alley parking would now be available for OTB patrons. The situation was resolved when David Richardson, who had been attempting to purchase the Greenmount Bowl-located in the same complex-for almost two years, told Hampstead officials he had closed on the deal. A neighboring daycare facility had expressed concern over whether there would be enough spaces should an OTB parlor open. The Zoning Board of Appeals approved the plan in June but withheld action pending an update on whether sufficient parking would be available. Hampstead is located in Carroll County, not far from the cities of Westminster and Reisterstown in Maryland and Hanover in Pennsylvania.

Maryland took another step toward expanding its off-track betting network when the Hampstead Zoning Board of Appeals approved a plan to locate a facility adjacent the Greenmount Station Restaurant.
