Community Meeting To Discuss Redevelopment of the Delaware National Country Club (former Hercules C.C.)

Thursday, April 20, 2017

7:00 pm.

Location: A. I. DuPont High School Auditorium

50 Hillside Rd, Wilmington, DE 19807

A developer's proposal to build a 262-unit residential development at the site of the former Hercules Country Club is moving quickly through the County approval process.   

Serious concerns have been raised about - its compatibility with the existing community- the deeply flawed traffic study now underway- its visual impact on this beautiful areaNone of these concerns have been addressed by the County to date.   

Please come to the public meeting at 7pm on Thursday April 20 at A. I. duPont High School to hear about this proposal and to share your thoughts.  This is 1 of only 2 opportunities to have your voice heard.

From Bob Weiner ~

Dear Neighbor,

Please share this important information with your neighbors and friends.

I am pleased to facilitate a community meeting at the A.I. DuPont High School Auditorium April 20th community meeting (beginning at 7:00pm) to discuss the Delaware National Country Club (Hercules Country Club).  Our County Land Use Department will be in attendance and will carefully consider community comments.

(Directions to highschool  - Take DE-52 N to Hillside Rd in Greenville. Turn left onto Hillside Rd)

The applicant’s attorney, Larry Tarabicos, provided the information below…

This site is zoned S (Open Space Planned Subdivision Option) and contains 205.27 acres.  The site is separated into the four parcels by Hercules Road, the Red Clay Creek and Penn Oak Drive.  It is generally bounded by Lancaster Pike (Route 48) to the north, the Hercules Research Center to the South, office uses to the far East and Residential areas to the far West and Southeast.  The site was formerly known as, and occupied by, the Delaware National Country Club.  The current owner, Golf Course Associates, LLC of Newport, Delaware, proposes to develop the site into 262 residential lots.  Per Unified Development Code (UDC) requirements, the project will encompass four different styles of homes. 

The unit mix will contain 27 Estate Homes (12,000 square foot minimum), 27 Executive Homes (10,000 square foot minimum), 104 Village Style single family homes (6000 square foot minimum) and 104 24 foot wide Townhouses (2200 square foot minimum).  The total subdivision proposes 262 housing lots.  The open space will incorporate the remaining golf cart paths as part of the walking path system for use by the public.  Parking required is 2.25 spaces per dwelling unit in this zoning district. 

For additional information, please click this link - http://www3.nccde.org/project/details/default.aspx?ProjectKey=552426 

It is important to note that this plan is a “MAJOR RECORD PLAN”; but not a rezoning. A major record plan submission will afford public comment along the application process.

There is a key difference between a major record plan and a rezoning with a major record plan.  If a major plan is in general compliance with the standards of the Unified Development Code, those plans may advance to the Planning Board public hearing.  

The public is invited to make comments at the Department of Land Use Planning Board hearing. The County Land Use Department carefully considers community input during this process.  This is always a key opportunity for the public to work with the developer and Land Use to influence the plan if needed.

If the record plan and all supporting documents comply with this Chapter and any other applicable regulations, the General Manager of the Department shall approve the record plan and the Department will issue an approval letter. Supporting documents shall include, but are not limited to:

1. Letter of approval from DelDOT regarding transportation matters.
A.    Traffic impact study (TIS). For all major plans and plans with rezonings where the Department has not waived traffic analysis requirements, the applicant shall submit traffic information pursuant to Article 11. If a traffic impact study is required, a scoping meeting shall be scheduled pursuant to Article 11 to identify concurrency issues. No record plan submission shall occur until such time that the TIS is approved and the plan meets the concurrency requirements of Article 11. 

Since this is a major plan and the Land Use Department has not waived traffic analysis requirements, a Traffic Impact Study is currently underway for this project. 

A traffic impact study (TIS) is defined in our New Castle County Code under ARTICLE 11. - TRANSPORTATION IMPACT[7], Division 40.11.000. - Purpose.
The purpose of this Article is to ensure that development occurs only where there are adequate transportation facilities in place, or programmed for construction. Transportation capacity is allocated to proposed land developments on a first come-first serve basis. The highway capacity shall be determined by a traffic impact study. No major land development or any rezoning shall be permitted if the proposed development exceeds the level of service standards set forth in this Article unless the traffic mitigation or the waiver provisions of this Article can be satisfied.

The plan is then sent to County Council.  The public is again invited to comment on the plan.  However, if the plan is code compliant, then Council is required by code to provide approval of the plan. (UDC 40.31.100)
D.  Council consent.
1.  For major plans, the record plan shall be forwarded to County Council for its consent. Upon receipt of the plan, County Council shall schedule the matter for its next public hearing, and may take one (1) of the following actions:

a. Adopt a resolution approving the record major plan; or
b. Table and refer the plan back to the Department, no more than twice, with specific questions relating to technical compliance with this Chapter, State or federal constitutional requirements or any other statute or ordinance for which compliance is required. Upon receipt of a Department recommendation reaffirming approval of the plan, County Council shall adopt the resolution of approval, unless a second referral is made because of additional questions or concerns. Upon receipt of the Department's recommendation reaffirming approval of the plan after review of any additional concerns raised by County Council, Council shall adopt the resolution of approval.

2. County Council may use any one (1) or more of the above options subject to the limitations contained in each subparagraph.

E. Action upon receipt of County Council referral. Upon receipt of specific questions from County Council, the Department shall respond with its findings and a recommendation. The recommendation shall be one (1) of the following:
1. That the plan be approved, in which case County Council shall adopt the resolution of plan approval at its next scheduled meeting unless a second referral is made, in which case Council shall adopt the resolution of plan approval at its next scheduled meeting following the second approval.
2. That the Department has rescinded its previous approval of the plan for noncompliance, in which case County Council shall withdraw the resolution of plan approval.   (Ord. No. 09-066, § 18, 10-13-2009; Ord. No. 10-113, § 1(Exh. A), 1-18-2011)

Sec. 40.31.114. - Record plan review stage.

A. Record plan requirements. Upon approval of the construction plans, the applicant may submit a record plan pursuant to the requirements in Appendix 1 of this Chapter, including the applicable fee. Any agreements, surety, maintenance declarations or any other legal documents required by this Code shall also be submitted. The record plan must be in general conformance with the approved exploratory plan.

B. Record plan review report. The Department will issue a written report that identifies any concerns relating to compliance with this Chapter, record plan submission requirements or other factors the applicant shall consider.

C. Department review/approval. If the record plan and all supporting documents comply with this Chapter and any other applicable regulations, the General Manager of the Department shall approve the record plan and the Department will issue an approval letter. The General Manager of the Department shall also have the ability to approve all minor land development plans on behalf of County Council. Supporting documents shall include, but are not limited to:

1. Letter of approval from DelDOT regarding transportation matters.

A.    Traffic impact study (TIS). For all major plans and plans with rezonings where the Department has not waived traffic analysis requirements, the applicant shall submit traffic information pursuant to Article 11. If a traffic impact study is required, a scoping meeting shall be scheduled pursuant to Article 11 to identify concurrency issues. No record plan submission shall occur until such time that the TIS is approved and the plan meets the concurrency requirements of Article 11.

2. Letter of approval from the State Fire Marshal.

3. Approval from the Engineering Section of the Department regarding drainage and storm water matters.

D. Planning Board Public Hearing - For all major plans and rezonings, the Department initial report and PLUS report is required prior to Planning Board public hearing. For major plans and rezonings where the Department finds the exploratory plan to be in general compliance with the standards of this Chapter and after the PLUS report is issued, those plans may advance to the Planning Board public hearing. Upon a finding by the Department that the major plan or rezoning is in general compliance with this Chapter and, upon receipt of the written PLUS report, the exploratory plan shall be scheduled for a Planning Board public hearing on the next available hearing date.

E. Council consent. 1. For major plans, the record plan shall be forwarded to County Council for its consent. Upon receipt of the plan, County Council shall schedule the matter for its next public hearing, and may take one (1) of the following actions:

a. Adopt a resolution approving the record major plan; or

Table and refer the plan back to the Department, no more than twice, with specific questions relating to technical compliance with this Chapter, State or federal constitutional requirements or any other statute or ordinance for which compliance is required. Upon receipt of a Department recommendation reaffirming approval of the plan, County Council shall adopt the resolution of approval, unless a second referral is made because of additional questions or concerns. Upon receipt of the Department's recommendation reaffirming approval of the plan after review of any additional concerns raised by County Council, Council shall adopt the resolution of approval.

2. County Council may use any one (1) or more of the above options subject to the limitations contained in each subparagraph.

F. Action upon receipt of County Council referral. Upon receipt of specific questions from County Council, the Department shall respond with its findings and a recommendation. The recommendation shall be one (1) of the following:

Coastal Zone Act Appeal: Refinery Ethanol Marketing Permit Hearing 9AM Next Monday In Dover

(Delaware City Refinery, image unknown)

Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board 

9:00 a.m. Monday, February 27th 

Kent County Administration Building

555 S. Bay Road, Dover, De 19901

From CLNCC past President (1999-2001) Michael McDowell: Important: Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board Appeal Meeting

Pursuant to Section 7007, Title 7 of the code, the board will hold a public hearing on the appeal , challenging the DNREC issuance of Secretary's order 2016 - CZ- 0050 dated December 27, 2016. Public encouraged to attend. Any one attending can make a statement or comment and it will go into the record. Remember - if any permit is issued for either export or import , there must be set asides equal to or greater, there must be insurance against any malfunction due to mechanical or human error in a value to cover any accident and cover any cost of pollution whether its by any transport including rail, pipeline, ship to shore, shore to ship, import or export, which are different activities. 

Meeting date, time, and location: February 27th, 2017 , at 9:00 am, at Kent County Administration Building, 555 S. Bay Road, Dover, De 19901 

In December of 2016, the Secretary of DNREC of the State of Delaware made an interpretation of the Coastal Zone Act concerning an ethanol plant. This is in response to two DNREC interpretations where people can attend a Coastal Zone Industrial Board Public meeting and give verbal as well as written statements concerning their concerns raised by an erroneous interpretation.  

Secretary Small stated in his approval that “….the General Assembly did not intend to doom every existing. …non-conforming use in the coastal zone to extinction by attrition. ..Instead, the legislature clearly expects the Secretary to make a ….judgement call on any proposed expansion. …would contravene legislative intent.” 

Chapter 70. Coastal Zone Act

7001 Purpose  “It is hereby determined  that the coastal areas of Delaware are the most critical areas for the future of the state in terms of the quality of life in the state. …Specifically, this chapter seeks to prohibit entirely the construction of  new heavy industry in coastal areas….Therefore, control of industrial development other than that of heavy industry in the coastal zone of Delaware through a permit system at the state level is called for….It is further determined that offshore bulk product transfer represent a significant danger of pollution for the construction of industrial plants in the coastal zone, which construction is declared to be against public policy. For these reasons, prohibition against bulk product transfer facilities in the coastal zone is deemed imperative.” 

Based upon the section 7001 of Title 70, the legislature’s express purpose of the coastal zone act was and is to prohibit heavy industry expansion and bulk transfer from shore to ship and ship to shore unless grandfathered  in June 28, 1971. 

Where there exist a transfer it must be permitted and there must be set asides to mitigate human error, mechanical problems and possible accidents and pollution relative to air, land, water both on the surface and below surface of the area being managed in a way that assures no negative impact  or manageable environmental concerns and quality of life in Delaware.

Section 7003. Uses absolutely prohibited in the coastal zone. “Heavy industry uses of any kind not in operation on June 28,1971, are prohibited in the coastal zone and no permits may be issued, therefore. …In addition, off shore gas liquid or solid bulk product transfer facilities which are not in operation on June 28, 1971, are prohibited….”

Section 7004 ….”Except for heavy industry uses….manufacturing uses not in existence and in active use on June 28,1971 are allowed in the coastal zone by permit only….”section 7004(b)(1) requires a full environmental impact not only under normal conditions but also during conditions and circumstances following mechanical malfunctions and humor error. 

Consequently, if permitted for either import or export purposes, for a single plant location, there are environmental impacts and set asides and a need to prove sufficient insurance to cover all costs of malfunctions or human error whether its by any transport including rail, pipeline or ship to shore or shore to ship. 

In essence, DNREC and the Secretaries of the Markel administration have consistently failed in their duties according to the code and law. 

Anyone that wants to attend the up and coming public meeting at the Coastal Zone Industrial Board, which based upon code should be between the third week of February and the first or second week of March, can give verbal or written statements as to why the decision is wrong and erroneous based upon code and purpose and intent contrary to Secretary Small’s December 2016 interpretation. 

The Coastal Zone Industrial Board  must accept both and can find that the DNREC interpretation is wrong. Any Delawarean can give verbal and written statements at the public meeting. This is something else where ordinary people can make a difference. You can also support the League of Women Voters in their filed objection as well as anyone else who has a filed protest. Please share and add comments. Attend the meeting if at all possible at 9:00 am on February 27th. 

And from Delaware Way's Nancy Willing ~ 

The problem is that DNREC never creating the measures by which they would objectively judge appropriate environmental offsets. DNREC is now saying they didn't have to and that the Coastal Zone Act authors didn't really intend to say what it is clearly written into the statute. 

Secretary's Order No. 2016-CZ-0050

• RE: Delaware City Refining Company, LLC's Application for a Coastal Zone Act Permit for its Ethanol Marketing Project, at the Delaware City Refinery, 4550 Wrangle Hill Road, New Castle, New Castle County (CZA Permit No. 427P)
• Hearing officer's report and technical response memorandum included

TITLE 7 - CHAPTER 70. COASTAL ZONE ACT

2017 Appeal of Decision to Allow Delaware City Refinery's Ethanol Project

2016 League of Women Voters urges DNREC to stand firm

An erosion of Delaware’s treasured Coastal Zone Act is taking place as we speak, but it may not be too late for redemption. The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Secretary, David Small, can act now with authority and decisiveness to head off a major incursion into the Act’s authority. Let’s explore the background of this unfortunate drama.

Russ Peterson had good reason to prohibit bulk transfer in Delaware’s coastal zone. The first paragraph of the Coastal Zone Act includes this significant line: “…prohibition against bulk product transfer facilities in the coastal zone is deemed imperative.” Why? Because, the law explains, “…offshore bulk product transfer facilities represent a significant danger of pollution to the coastal zone…” One little “oops!” of a bulk product like crude oil and the bay is in for a seriously long recovery period, not to mention millions of dollars in clean-up costs and the loss of fishing and crabbing and recreational opportunities for an indeterminate time.

That’s why the special one-situation-only permit issued by former DNREC Secretary, Collin O’Mara, in 2013 was so unusual, and so remarkably clear in its parameters. O’Mara had said to the Delaware City Refinery (DCR) in his order and the accompanying permit that PBF, the refinery owner, was allowed “to ship up to 45,000 barrels of oil daily from Delaware City to its sister refinery on the Delaware River near Paulsboro,” and then further in the order, “A change in these factors or the use of the facility may result in a different determination.” There’s not a lot of equivocating in these statements.

Called out by a whistle blower after they sent a barge seven miles beyond Paulsboro to a facility with which they were not affiliated, DCR said that they had had some logistical issues which necessitated the bulk transfer and said that it wouldn’t happen again. That apology in itself suggests that they knew they had crossed the line. Each incursion into the Act’s authority should be promptly met with disapproval by DNREC, the department in charge of implementing the Act. The Secretary is obligated to note the infraction on the record and to put the Delaware City Refinery (DCR) on notice that subsequent infractions may be subject to assessment of penalties. This did not happen in this first instance of non-compliance.

Now comes the new disclosure that two additional shipments of several barges each of bulk-transferred oil have made their way up the river from the refinery. DCR appears to have taken a new tack in its approach to its illicit activity: the News Journal reports that letters received by both the Department of Justice and DNREC from the refinery’s spokesperson, John Deemer, say that “the shipment of crude oil from the refinery to locations other than Paulsboro Refinery is not prohibited by any applicable regulatory or permit-based standard.” The NJ report of Dec. 21 reports that refinery officials say that while the order mentions Paulsboro, the actual permit makes no reference to final destinations.  The officials claim that “that distinction gives them the right [to] ship crude anywhere and at any time.”

Because the League of Women Voters of Delaware has supported the CZA from its inception and because transgressions of the act could have dire and possibly irremediable consequences, we urge DNREC’s secretary to stand firmly behind the original O’Mara order which generously allowed bulk transfers of crude oil to its affiliated facility but clearly warned that activity beyond that which was specifically allowed would have to be re-permitted.
