The natural and historical setting of Columbia?s historic Woodlawn Manor could be further threatened if a bill before the Howard County Council is passed.

Developer Ron Brasher, of Brasher Design in Columbia, wants less space ? 10 feet ? between the parking lot of the 74,000-square-foot office building he proposed on the historic manor and the open space that will remain after construction. A 30-foot buffer is currently required.
