Delaware Supreme Court Upholds Pike Creek Golfcourse V. NCC On Deed Restrictions


Good news from Tim Sheldon today! This victory in the courts is welcome news for communities protected with deed restrictions. 

Good morning Concerned Citizens,
 
On November 12, 2014, the Pike Creek Golf Course (formerly Three Little Bakers Country Club) case went before the Delaware Supreme Court after the owners of the golf course filed an appeal following the Superior Court’s ruling.  The case involved the proposed development of the golf course and the property formerly known as The Three Little Bakers. 
 
Yesterday the County received the ruling.  Our office is pleased to announce that the Delaware Supreme Court is in complete agreement with Delaware Superior Court’s opinion.  The County won the case which means the owners of the golf course must adhere to the deed restrictions that were signed between the Pike Creek landowners and the County in 1964 and 1969 which requires 130 acres of open space that could be used as a golf course. 
 
We would like to thank all County staff who worked vigorously on this case.  And a special thanks to County Executive Tom Gordon and former County Executives Chris Coons and Paul Clark.  Also, thank you to everyone for believing in us. 
 
Have a wonderful weekend.
 
Sincerely,
 
Tim Sheldon
New Castle County Councilperson
9th District
