I, too, suggested higher authorities (specifically, COMAR). Conversation does not hurt and just because it wasn't addressed before on the forums, sure doesn't invalidate it.
I can say this, while COMAR lists things rather clearly, there is a substantial amount of grey area. It is sickening. COMAR lists a few reasons one daycare property would need a fence. Water hazard or high traffic area two of them. What is a water hazard (pool, pond, fountain, ditch that fills with water after heavy rains, creek)? What is high traffic (speed limit, vehicle count threshold, roadway design considerations)? In these cases, a fence is required. It does not specify the fence, however. Wood, vinyl or metal? Height? Transparency? Locks?
When you try to define something this big (like operating a daycare in MD or traffic law) you create more questions than you can answer. You are to notify the owner or police if you hit a "domesticated" animal. What is domesticated? Transportation articles do not define. One goose could be a therapy goose, the other could be a shitbird. Traffic example showing it is widespread issue of sorts.
This particular subject could be very useful for not only the OP but others on the forum.
Please report back OP. It is always a pleasure when these issues/concerns/questions are addressed and reported back on.
