CLNCC Town Hall With Attorney Sid Liebesman - 7PM Tuesday, October 16th In Christiana


Town Hall With Attorney Sid Liebesman

7 p.m. Tuesday, October 16th
Christiana Presbyterian Church 
15 N. Old Baltimore Pike, Christiana, DE 19702
Join the Civic League for New Castle County 7-9 p.m. on Tuesday, October 16th for an evening with the attorney who led two victorious state Supreme Court battles against development infringements on our NCC traffic impact laws at Barley Mill Plaza and the Hercules Country Club. 
Sid Liebesman will talk about his work on behalf of the NCC Executive along side the civic group, Save Our County, against Barley Mill Plaza's Stoltz developers and NCC Council who sided with them and also his experiences in defending our traffic laws against the Hercules Country Club's Toll Brothers developers attempt to crush them. 
The fight isn't over as so many northern New Castle County communities are now facing dense development proposals for area golf courses that will negatively impact their quality of life. 
How can residents' civic associations fight against land use plans that will certainly lead to congested roadways, over-crowded school class rooms and severe reductions in community character? How to defend against the headaches and possible reduction in property values these proposals may carry with them? 
Do we need a remedy from the General Assembly to force NCC government to rectify gaps in their land use traffic impact process that allowed, for instance. the Barley Mill Plaza plan to go to a vote absent any traffic impact data?  
What can be done to make NCC follow the intent of the laws in their Unified Development Code?
Come with your own questions!

Plus, civics please note that there is a CCOBH-sponsored NCC Council Candidate Forum, 7-10 p.m. Wednesday, October 17th at the Talleyville Fire Hall with Bob Robert S. Weiner and Dee Durham. Please come out and get to know your candidates!
Updated: A CLNCC candidate forum is scheduled has been cancelled for later in the month for the 6th District council candidates David Carter and Dawn Lentz (Councilwoman Lisa Diller declined our invitation and her 5th District opponent is basically invisible so we had hoped to move the planned Glasgow-area event to the Middletown area.) More details to follow.
