  • Mixed-Use Zone Report for the Town of Middletown, Delaware
    Mixed-Use Zone Report for the Town of Middletown, Delaware October 2018 Prepared by Sean O’Neill, AICP, Policy Scientist Institute for Public Administration School of Public Policy & Administration College of Arts & Sciences University of Delaware Mixed-Use Zone Report for the Town of Middletown, Delaware October 2018 Prepared by Sean O’Neill, AICP, Policy Scientist Institute for Public Administration School of Public Policy & Administration College of Arts & Sciences University of Delaware Mixed-Use Zone Report for the Town of Middletown, Delaware Acknowledgements As the director of the Institute for Public Administration (IPA) at the University of Delaware, I am pleased to present this Mixed-Use Zone Report for the Town of Middletown, Delaware. The document is a follow-up report to IPA’s 2017 Middletown Multifamily Housing Analysis, which recommended that the town consider adopting a mixed-use zoning district. Middletown has experienced unprecedented growth over the past two decades. This growth presents both challenges and opportunities, such as establishing new and exciting areas within town for residents and visitors. Given the large amount of residential growth in the surrounding area, commercial development has followed and is likely to continue. The new Route 301 highway is likely to attract commercial developers seeking to build retail, office, and multifamily uses that will have quicker access to the I-95 Corridor than has previously been possible in Middletown’s Westtown area. In an effort to address the challenges and opportunities resulting from growth, this report outlines the key aspects of a new mixed-use zoning district that would allow for more density in some of the town’s growth areas while providing for the flexibility needed to create new walkable and attractive neighborhoods.

One of the most noteworthy moves mandated by the 2005 BRAC law was the closure of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in Washington, D.C., with the relocation of most of its functions and personnel to the campus of the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) in Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland, establishing the joint service Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC). The intent of consolidating these two premier institutions was to establish the modern “crown jewel” of military medical care and research combining the best of Army, Navy and Air Force practices that could serve the needs of the American military facing new kinds of catastrophic injuries in the era following September 11, 2001.

  • Maryland Historical Trust Inventory No
    Capsule Summary Inventory No. F-7-139 Monocacy Crossing Urbana Pike and Monocacy River Frederick County, MD Ca. 1750-present; 1864 Access: Public Monocacy Crossing consists of a collection of road traces and existing roads, a ferry crossing site, fording place and the current steel truss bridge which carries Maryland Route 355 across the Monocacy River. These crossings date from as early as the mid 18 century and continue to the mid 20th century for the bridge that remains in daily use. On the segment of the Monocacy that flows through the battlefield are two fording places that were known as early as the 1730s. One was located just below the mouth of Ballenger Creek and the other a short distance downstream from the present Maryland Route 355 bridge. The Ballenger Creek area ford was used by Confederate forces during the Battle of Monocacy. The other ford is recorded on land plats and the trace of the old road leading to it is still evident on the landscape. Until the 1830s, when the B&O Railroad was constructed, there was ferry service at this upper ford. The battlefield landscape is largely pastoral, with wooded hillsides and fields of hay, corn and wheat, as well as pasture lands for dairy cattle. The Monocacy River bisects the scene. The battlefield is also bisected with 1-270 a busy commuter route to Washington DC, which crosses the Monocacy approximately lA mile south of the historic crossing place. Outside the limit of the battlefield the surrounding landscape is fragmented, lost in places to intense commercial and residential development.
