ZOOM Program

JOIN HERE

Two great presentations are planned for our March meeting so please share the agenda and zoom link with your civic groups and friends.

Update: Sandy Spence is giving the LWVDE Power Point on Redistricting. League members will be attending to answer any questions we may have. 

Kathleen Davies is our Guest Speaker on Inspector Generals..Through sharing her past experience working with state and federat IGs,  she will discuss the potential benefit for Delaware in giving legislators a way to request validation of numbers they want to rely on, getting independent investigations, and having an office that can work with federal investigators for federal prosecution. She notes our state's lack of Attorney General independence and that our Auditor of Accounts is no longer focusing on prosecutorial work or financial audits where all of the standard reports are now contracted out.

Kathleen Davies worked under AOA Tom Wagner and ran in the 2018 primary as a Democratic candidate for that office. She earned a bachelor's degree in professional accountancy from Pennsylvania State University. Davies' career experience includes working as a CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Government Audit Professional, and Certified Government Financial Manager in the field of state government auditing. [https://ballotpedia.org/Kathleen_Davies]

CCOBH: NCC Land Use Labyrinth – A Primer For Community Engagement And Participation - 7PM May 21st (RSVP)

You are invited to a Zoom meeting on “Navigating the New Castle County Land Use Labyrinth – A Primer for Community Engagement and Participation Meeting” hosted by CCOBH. 

When: Thursday, May 21, 2020 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) 

Register in advance for this meeting:
https://us02web.zoom.us/…/tZAqdemgrj8vH9QUIKeRpkPViwPaY3S0H… 

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. 

Guest Speaker: Dave Carter, New Castle County Council Member 

The meeting will be a comprehensive look at the land use process in New Castle County, a "how-to navigate" guide for community involvement and advocacy, and discussion of potential ways to create more opportunities for public input.

From RJ Miles, VP, CCOBH: 

In the land use process, our primary tool is participation in the process. 

At a time when both the State and the County are working to reduce the community participation role in the process in order to save time, we must take every opportunity to understand and defend the tools we have to help define and shape our community.

Future Infill In Northern DE As Worst Case Example Under Proposed NCC Ord. 19-005

(image)

From Nancy Willing - 

NCC is upset that residents are pointing out possible worst case examples after examining the proposed Ord. 19-005. 

We were called out on March 1st by Meyer's Land Use Dept. GM for "misleading people" through having "inaccurately painted the draft ordinance in such a negative light." saying, "Every point in your summary is false"; "alarmist language" etc.. 

But the NCC Planning Board recently argued many of our EXACT same points, as led by former state Senator Karen Peterson.  

And now Meyer et. al. feel perfectly comfortable dismissing Karen Peterson's concerns just as they dismissed ours.  

Please ask your council member if they will also dismiss these concerns when considering to vote for this ordinance as it is currently drafted or will they study these concerns and address them?

Listen to the Planning Board discussion and vote HERE

The image above is from our collaborative community facebook site on the proposed transportation NCC Ordinance 19.005 with this post by R.J. Miles:

Will the 202 corridor look like this in 2050?

Land use protection to the west and a free for all to the east? 

Is NCC laying the foundation for dramatic disparity in land use policy, honoring some constituencies concerns with specific protections in the UDC/Comp Plan, while sacraficing the concerns of others by removing current protections? 

Please Vote On Tuesday! Plus, Civic League Survey Questions For County Council Candidates

CLNCC submitted these eight questions for the NCC Council District 2 Candidate Forum hosted by CCOBH and EB 100 civic umbrella groups: 

• Traffic impact from land development is controlled by UDC requirements for concurrency and adequate facility. Do you agree that level of service and traffic impact studies are fair measures in limiting development and why?

• Comprehensive planning is currently done in silos across the state separating unincorporated county lands from municipalities. Is this a sensible practice?

• School capacity is currently prohibited from consideration during the county land use application process. Do you support an effort to reverse this situation?

• Do you agree that growth of residential development is mostly responsible for increasing costs of county services and raising of property taxes?

• What can the county do to raise revenue other than increasing taxes?

• Affordable housing is a challenge in our county. Do you believe we are meeting our targets? Is NCC working directly with municipalities to meet goals?

• In a recent NCC survey, residents along the Route 9 corridor were asked if they would like to relocate given the opportunity. Do you support NCC taxpayers funding buyouts and relocation of entire communities?

• Do you believe residential communities should be paying to maintain their own storm water facilities or should the county continue its amnesty program? 

The forum moderators got in a few of the questions asked, but not all (Click HERE to view the forum). 

I also sent the Survey to council candidates Dave Carter and Dawn Lentz who are vying for the NCC Council 6th District seat. Ms. Lentz answered. Read her responses below.

Civic League for New Castle County Survey:

• Traffic impact from land development is controlled by UDC requirements for concurrency and adequate facility. Do you agree that level of service and traffic impact studies are fair measures in limiting development and why? - I'm very concerned about the development and lack of forethought into the traffic congestion that seems to be happening in lower NCC. It appears as if infrastructure is an after thought. How can our district (district 6) be able to handle the massive amounts of new residents when we build houses faster than roads?

• Comprehensive planning is currently done in silos across the state separating unincorporated county lands from municipalities. Is this a sensible practice?-I am having difficulty understanding this ambiguous nomenclature. Please clarify?

• School capacity is currently prohibited from consideration during the county land use application process. Do you support an effort to reverse this situation?-I support any efforts to make life better for our citizens and our environment. Our children are very important to me,  as well as our wildlife; it's integral to our future to know that we leave a better Delaware for future generations.

• Do you agree that growth of residential development is mostly responsible for increasing costs of county services and raising of property taxes?  - I'm not knowledgeable enough to clearly assign the blame of our property taxes being increased on new homes being built. That being said, the county needs property tax to fund our schools, police, and infrastructure, etc. In theory, new homes should ease taxpayers burden right? Why then, is it increasing? If elected, this would be high priority on my list of things I'd like to help correct.

• What can the county do to raise revenue other than increasing taxes?-This is a question I've spent quite a bit of time considering. How do we continue to fund the services we need while easing individual financial burdens? I'm a member of the Green party. We don't take corporate donations. We're the little guy. We have to get creative when it comes to raising funds. Every year, there are dozens of fairs and festivals. Why not invest more into these fun activities? The revenue from charging a nominal parking fee, vendor fees, plot rentals from businesses, etc. could ease the strain on individuals. How much revenue does firefly pull in yearly? Why not create our own music festival, complete with camping at one of New Castle's parks? 4 fairs/festivals a year could definitely help.

• Affordable housing is a challenge in our county. Do you believe we are meeting our targets? Is NCC working directly with municipalities to meet goals? - I feel that affordable housing in New Castle County can be obtained by the diligent. What I would like to see is more options opening up for homeless shelters that would educate residents to become financially independent. I am not aware whether or not New Castle county is working with municipalities to meet goals.

• In a recent NCC survey, residents along the Route 9 corridor were asked if they would like to relocate given the opportunity. Do you support NCC taxpayers funding buyouts and relocation of entire communities?- I am unaware of this survey, but it does raise questions in my mind. Without knowing why the survey was sent, I don't know that I would support relocating entire communities.

• Do you believe residential communities should be paying to maintain their own storm water facilities or should the county continue to amnesty program? - Part of the green party platform is decentralization, as it pertains to our government. Applying a similar principle to this question, I think it may be a better option for communities to oversee their own storm water facilities. In a more hands-on perspective, and also as it may ease individual tax burdens.

New Civic Group Alert- The Claymont Revitalization Project By: Matthew Morris

Our Mission: To establish a revitalizing culture that restores the image and safety within the Town of Claymont, providing a positive foundation for our children, and allowing the town to exceed its potential and thrive with economic growth. 

The Claymont Revitalization Project was started by Matthew Morris, a Claymont native and the administrator of Take Back Claymont Facebook page, along with Josie Stauffer. After a multitude of concerns were raised and addressed on the page, Mr. Morris commented “Why don’t we have a town hall meeting?” but no one was sure how to proceed. Mr. Morris ambitiously volunteered and organized the first meeting to bring residents together. At present, he and his team of associates, Lisa Allred, Josie Stauffer, Catherine Kelly, and Jennifer Ferris aim to unify the community to tackle social issues relating to crime, drugs, public safety, and youth based activities to help promote and restore a safety community and positive public image. 

The Claymont Revitalization Project gained support from Brett Sadler of the Claymont Renaissance Development Corporation, several board members of the Claymont Coalition, and civic association board members from within Claymont. In doing so, the team held the very first Claymont Town Hall Meeting. The meeting was devised to unity the community and introduce them to local legislators, the Attorney General, Director of the Division of Public Health, NCC County Executive, County Officials, and their local patrol officers from NCCPD and DTSP. The town hall meetings have gained tremendous momentum in all of their ideas of revitalizing the community.  

The Town of Claymont is conveniently located and has access to three of Delaware’s major highways. It has easy access to every major metropolitan area in the North East.  The town has a lot to offer and is in a major upswing of improvement, one that does not seem to have a future of stopping. The Revitalization Project aims to take full advantage of their location and promote it as a platform of attracting new residents, and businesses. 

The primary goals of the Claymont Revitalization Project are to bring Claymont to the forefront of economic development, and encouraging businesses to expand to the area. They want Claymont to be a welcome destination instead of a stop-over location.

Progress for Our Communities During Outdoor Paint Removal By Sarah Bucic

Lead (Pb) is a neurotoxin with irreversible side effects. Exposure to lead paint chips, grit and dust from dry abrasive sandblasting is dangerous to public health. 

Ingesting lead causes neurological damage, behavioral and learning disabilities among children, as well as anemia, high blood pressure, kidney damage and reproductive effects (including miscarriage, stillbirths and premature births) among adults. There are no safe levels of exposure to lead and there is no way to reverse the damage caused by lead exposure. 

In February 2017, The Civic League for New Castle County was the first organization to support protection for public health of the surrounding communities during outdoor lead paint sandblasting. 

The Civic League of New Castle County resolution supported:
1) Community notifications requirements and public access to information
2) Health and safety plans for sandblasting and paint removal to ensure the protection of public health
3) Containment measures to prevent community exposure from lead paint chips, particles and dust
4) Hazardous waste that is removed from outdoor structures shall be properly transported and disposed at a hazardous waste disposal facility
5) Air pollution monitoring to ensure pain particles and dust do not escape containment. 

Over 160 water towers have been identified in the State of Delaware, some within 50-100 feet of childcare centers and residential areas. In addition to water towers, other outdoor structures can contain lead paint such as playground equipment, utility structures and poles, bridges and fire hydrants. Currently, no notification requirements or State regulations exist to inform the local community about the removal of lead on outdoor structures.

However, this is changing! In October 2017, in The News Journal Secretary Shawn Garvin committed the Division of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) to develop a general permit spearheaded by the Division of Air Quality. Secretary Garvin stated this will include “strengthening the public participation process and DNREC oversight” [1]. General permits will also allow DNREC to enforce compliance and hold those in violation of safe industry practices accountable. 

While the regulations are still forthcoming, and the Division of Air Quality noted that they will only apply to water towers, we look forward to seeing the regulations and their ultimate implementation for the public good. Public input, in the form of hearings, will be held once the regulations are released and we will need the community voices to be heard. 

Garvin, Shawn. (October 15, 2017). Delaware Voice: We’re tackling lead paint sandblasting. The News Journal. https://www.delawareonline.com/story/opinion/contributors/2017/10/12/dnrec-chief-were-taking-action-lead-pant-sandblasting/757844001/
