Public Comment For DelDOT's Traffic Impact Studies Regulation Amendments Due Today

RE: Draft of proposed changes to Chapter 2 of DelDOT’s Standards and Regulations for Subdivision Streets and State Highway Access

T. William Brockenbrough, Jr., P.E., AICP

County Coordinator

Division of Planning

Delaware Department of Transportation

Bill, 

The public comment period closes on Oct. 20, 2012. Please include my comments below into the record. These comments follow those submitted to you by Chuck Mulholland on behalf of the Civic League for New Castle County.

There is far too much ambiguity retained in these proposed changes. In the following comments, I will delineate where I believe the level of specificity is unacceptable to the citizens of Delaware and indicate what must be amended further for clarity and certainty.

 - The first problematic ambiguity is the ill-defined "some measure of pubic involvement" as stated or implied throughout this document. The exact nature of public involvement must be defined within these Regulations for Traffic Impact Studies, Level of Service and in the planning of TIDs. A set schedule of public hearings for these project considerations must be included in these Regulations.

 - Concurrency means that road improvements will be paid for and implemented ahead of or during the construction of a project. A by-right plan can only be given permits for occupancy when the infrastructure is in place. There should be no wiggle room in TID funding schemes for concurrency. 

 - The true measure of the regional impact of a combination of projects within a TID cannot be limited to a "3rd Road Out" per project and still make sense - Sec. 2.5.2.2. 

 - Also, the use of may rather than must is a problem throughout this document. To assure public certainty and confidence that the procedures will not be applied subjectively, may is acceptable terminology.

• Service Standards MUST include Level of Service - Sec. 2.2.5.
• A new TIS MUST be required if projected future conditions have changed significantly - Sec. 2.13.2.6. 
• A TIS MUST be required for all large redevelopment projects - Sec. 2.1.

Thank you,

Nancy Willing

CLNCC Primary Candidate's Forum Set For 7PM August 21st In Bear - Also Woodlawn Trustees Will Discuss Brandywine Area Park

CIVIC LEAGUE FOR NEW CASTLE COUNTY 

At 7PM on August 21st, 2012, the Civic League for New Castle County will conduct a candidate forum targeting the primary races for both State and County positions. The candidates will have responded to these questions ahead of time:

Proposed questions for candidates and incumbents at our August Candidate Forum- Charlie Weymouth  

1.  In  three  sentences  or  less,  what  responsibilities  should  the  County uphold and what duties should it carry forth? 

2.  What  incentives  for  economic  improvement  do  you  believe  County government should offer?  To what selective bodies — agriculture, trade, research,  corporate  law,  finance?  Do  you  see  any  importance  of  a residential population growth requiring a precedent economy? 

3. What duties should you perform? Do you foresee needed changes and what should they be? 

4.  Regarding  Land  Use  and  the  present  UDC,  what  does  the  term "concurrence" mean?  Do you believe it is being presently consistently applied?  Do you think the UDC should remain intact?  If not, what changes would you propose? 

5. In land use changes, what infrastructure should be funded?  By who?  Do you think schools, local roads, sewer,  library, police services should be incorporated in the County budget?  Is the present system adequate?  Do you see any problems in traffic flow of our interstate highways due to our directly and immediately adjacent commercial usage? 

6. Should residential growth in our unincorporated areas be encouraged? Who should pay for the infrastructure? 

7. What are the truly 'vital' services the County should perform? 

8. What local services, and for what infrastructure should local residents pay?  Should local taxes be increased if such local services are to be paid by local residents? 

9.  Should  Municipal  and  County  Governments  be  combined  in a Metropolitan  form  to  concentrate  for  efficiency  and  coordination  of services? 

10.  What  do  you  include  as  "infrastructure"  when  speaking  of  Federal,  State,  County,  Municipal government?  What annual contributions into the County Government are Federally and State funded? 

11. Do you think County Government has been best representing your local constituents? 

12.  How  do  you  think reduction  of  our  National  debt  should  impact State  and,  particularly,  County programs? 

13. In establishing a Capital project, due think an inducement for such a project should be to establish and maintain ongoing personnel as a legitimate purpose in founding such project?  Do you see any urgent Capital needs? 

14. Do you believe County Government should endorse "open shop"? 

15. Do  you  believe County  taxpayer  contributions  to retirement  benefits  and  pensions  for County employees are equitable? 

16. Regarding County Police responses, what percent do you believe, result in restraint and arrest? 

17. Should fire response for the County remain essentially volunteer?
  

More  questions for candidates for County office - Fritz Griesinger

1.  Would you support the Delaware State Real Estate Commission seller's disclosure form regarding affordable housing and workforce housing?

2.  Would you support all potential buyers in a workforce / affordable  community be given a disclosure sheet concerning the 15 builder incentives? 

Prior to the forum, we will introduce Vince White, a  member and former President of  the  Delaware Real Estate Commission, and epresentative(s) from the Woodlawn Trustees on the aspect of a new public park in the Brandywine Hundred area.

We will meet at 6:00 PM in the Paris Community Room at Delaware State Police Troop 2
100 LaGrange Avenue (across from Glasgow Regional Park) in Bear

Tentative agenda times:
6:00 PM Woodlawn Trustees
6:30 PM Delaware Real Estate Commission member
7:00 PM primary candidate forum, with questions already distributed to candidates.
9:00 PM Adjournment

In this election year a national business news organization has given Delaware voters important points
to  ponder  as  both  the  primary  and  general  election  dates  approach.  I,  like many,  have received
campaign literature expounding "all the hard work" purported to have been done by those holding
elected office.  Well, how about Delaware's having slipped again in the national rankings for "Quality of
Life",  now to #49,  just above Louisiana,  and confirmed in a July 13th, 2012 email from the Delaware
House of Representatives! The 2012 rankings by CNBC, list Delaware with an overall ranking of 43 ( out of 50 ), a drop from #36 in 2011.

Hope you can attend.

Treasurer Flowers And WILMAPCO's Dan Blevins Stated For June 19th Meeting, 7PM At Troop 2 In Bear

The Civic League for New Castle County

Next meeting: Tuesday June 19, 2012 at 7:00 PM

CIVIC LEAGUE FOR NEW CASTLE COUNTY  Chuck Mulholland, President AGENDA Guest Speakers: Mr. Dan Blevins - WILMAPCO Planner Update on population & employment projections Mr. Chip Flowers - State Treasurer

Come out and you'll get the chance to ask the Treasurer more about the controversy stirring with the Governor and his staff:

(News Journal) Jonanthan Starkey reports ~ Outcast of Markell's inner circle - 

Treasurer Chip Flowers cites 'smear tactics'; official [OMB Director Visalli] says he's 'holding a gun'

Flowers, Delaware’s bombastic first-term treasurer, has accomplished a number of campaign goals since taking office in January 2011, launching online financial literacy tools and an economic warning system that earned praise from the White House. He’s also taken steps to improve performance in Delaware’s $2 billion investment portfolio.

But Flowers’ most surprising attribute as a public official may be his propensity to spar publicly with Delaware’s political establishment – a rarity here. In an election year that should feature sniping between Democrats and Republicans, Flowers’ intraparty clashes with Gov. Jack Markell’s administration have become the state’s most popular political sideshow.

Recently, the discontent has reached a boiling point.

Administration officials are now publicly questioning Flowers’ choices as the state’s top cash manager. Markell’s office cautioned Flowers against chasing “big returns” on taxpayer investments after hiring a financial consultant to monitor the portfolio. And one Markell insider recently accused Flowers of “holding a gun to the head” of state officials after he threatened to hold up a bond sale to fund a controversial Newark Charter School expansion plan. Flowers hasn’t backed down, accusing Markell’s team of “Nixon-style smear tactics” and lobbing criticisms of his own, including questioning Markell’s shaky $20 million investment in electric carmaker Fisker Automotive.

“We have sat here for 15 months and never questioned the administration. I want the governor to succeed,” Flowers said in an interview inside his office here last week. “But what we need to understand is if you’re going to be getting in the business of issuing statements talking about other elected officials, I think that’s a very dicey business to get into.”

Here is a video clip of DelDOT Secretary Bhatt Speaking at Civic League For New Castle County Meeting Feb. 20th , 2012

DelDOT Secretary And Red Clay School District Are The Featured Speakers At CLNCC's February Meeting, 6:45PM Monday Night In Bear

On Monday, Ferbruary 20, 2012, the Civic League for New Castle County will host Delaware Transportation Secretary Shailen Bhatt for a presentation on his plans for DelDOT moving forward. After Friday's front page News Journal report, this should be a rather informative event. Secretary Bhatt will speak from 7-8 PM.

Thereafter we will hear a presentation from the Red Clay School District committee on their referendum plans in the near future. [Also See: Rick Jensen Interviews Red Clay Officials On Referendum ].

This meeting will start at 6:45 PM, in the Paris Community Room, Delaware State Police Troop 2, 100 LaGrange Ave, Bear.

Finding DelDOT's missing pieces - (Sunday Op-Ed) What is it that we don't know about the Delaware Department of Transportation?

DelDOT records prompt inquiry - Forensics team will audit deals, ethics in push for reforms - Transportation Secretary Shailen Bhatt did not rule out the possibility of criminal misconduct.

The investigation was triggered by a series of Freedom of Information Act requests filed by The News Journal in recent months involving agency land deals and the involvement of political figures in certain highway projects that affect commercial interests. DelDOT officials were unable to document specifics of some land deals, Bhatt said. Records that would show what happened to payments to the agency for taxpayer-funded services and highway entrances also were missing, he said.

...Answers to the recent FOIA requests, Bhatt said, were complicated by DelDOT's paper-intensive and fragmented record-keeping system, and in some cases be inexplicably missing or never-recorded land agreements and roadway plans. As internal inquiries widened and top managers urged disclosure of problems, he said, employees came forward with other concerns, including some involving missing documents and checks from developers.

"The staff has come forward and talked about old checks that were not cashed, and have made assertions that checks may have disappeared," Bhatt said. "Whether that was because they were supposed to have been shredded or because a developer has moved on, it's hard for me to know." DelDOT has since ordered staffers to record and deposit all checks received by the agency within 24 hours of receipt.
In addition, the department plans to:

» Gather, secure and strictly control access to agency files and documents.» Retain outside engineers and planning consultants to examine key files for omissions or shortcomings.

» Work with Kent County to re-record complete site plans spanning a seven-year period after 2003, when the county stopped automatically documenting plans that left original property boundaries intact.

» Acquire a modern document recording and management system, an investment that could approach $1 million.

...The site plan problem was confined to Kent County, Bhatt said, but potentially left DelDOT unable to easily document agreements with developers involving such matters as land acquisition or land donation deals with developers, land easements and provisions for walkways and building line restrictions to protect driver views at intersections.

What You Won't Hear About New Castle County From The County Executive!

True picture of New Castle County? This is not what you will hear from Paul Clark
Middletown Transcript —
New Castle County union leaders at the Civic League for New Castle County:
The union presidents shared their concerns...such as being short staffed in areas where more manpower is needed.
- "We're short staffed," Dan Tharby, president of Local 349- skilled trades ...
- Joe Lavelle, a retired county police officer who represents the police officers through FOP Lodge 5, said that he feels a sense of frustration when dealing with the county. A county police officer's starting salary is lower than that of a University of Delaware officer's, he said. The force is also 22 officers short.
- There also aren't enough paramedics in the field, said Local 3911 President Kenneth Dunn who represents the paramedics. There are about 100 personnel total, with only about 85 on the streets
- there was a five-percent raise for all appointed county positions last year and that county council has never amended the executive's budget when put before them.

Janet Kilpatrick Responds To Request To Deny Stoltz's Lifting Of The Deed Restrictions For 20 Montachanin

Please click here to read about what you can do to help Save Our County fight the lifting of deed restrictions on the Stoltz parcel, 20 Montchanin Road, at the gateway to the Brandywine Valley.

According to the agenda posted for the January 24 NCC Council meeting, the vote on this Resolution --R12-015-- is to be withdrawn. A possible date for the vote will be February 14th but that is yet to be determined.

http://www2.nccde.org/council/Documents/MeetingAgendaDocuments/Council%20Agenda%201-24-12.pdf

I received the following information yesterday from Janet Kilpatrick in response to an email asking NCC Council: "Please don't lift the deed restrictions that protect the Brandywine Valley at 20 Montchanin" -

I do not know how I am going to vote on this, but thank you for your
comments. There are both protections and detriments to the proposal.

Below is information that I have so far on the requested change to this
property. This research is based on verifying statements made in emails
that I have received as well as the general research that is required for each vote.

EXISTING RESTRICTION:

1. The existing restrictions allow for a 1.7 acre footprint of building. 2 stories or 40' tall not counting the basement, but the basement is counted as total gross floor space so it can be made into offices, restaurants, or any other commercial or office use allowed under the code for this zoning category. The existing agreement says an office building and accessory uses so anything allowed in this zoning category can be placed within the building.

2. The site as built now is 138,000 sf on a 1.4 ac footprint (it is not at buildout - so without any change someone can build out the remaining .3 ac. which comes to about a 12,000 sf footprint, but as they can use 3 floors (basement, 1st and 2nd) that translates into 36,000 gross floor space more.

3. As it is now, that expansion can be on any side of the building, and this is where I
understand that the Breck's Lane people have concerns. Because of the topography of the site, if the building is builtout on their side , it will be higher than the rest of the building as the measurement goes from the existing ground to the top of the building, not from the lower ground level at the other side of the building. This could give them a towering effect next to their neighborhood.

4. If this were ever rezoned the original deed restrictions automatically are lifted. Existing restrictions take into account the possibility of rezoning.

5. There are no setbacks from propety lines.

NEW PROPOSED RESTRICTIONS

1. Would allow for 1.79 ac footprint - that> is 9/100th of an acre more than allowed in the (same> as in the existing restrictions).

2. Would allow for a separate 1 story building limited to 6000 sf>> and 25' high plus mechanicals. The square footage remains the same, it just allows for a split of buildings.

3. Calls for a 90' setback from property lines which ultimately does not allow buildout on the Breck's Lane side of the existing building. The newly proposed setback line is parallel to Breck's Lane.

4. It preserves the existing entrance and doesn't allow for other entrances.

5. It would only ever allow a rezoning on the 2 ac parcel that has the 1 story building, not allowing the whole site to be rezoned as the exsiting restrictions do. (this protetcs from combining w/the adjacent property to form one 30 ac site for development.

6. It limits use of what can be put on the site, since it is not just limited to office (accessory use per the existing agreement).

The public will have the opportunity to speak at the Tuesday Council
meeting. I encourage all those who have concerns to attend. Janet
Kilpatrick, New Castle County Council Member, 3rd District

Note - the vote is now tabled until February
