It took from 1681 to 1934 to settle and mark most of them and still there is a part that remains to be determined. There are many unusual elements of the boundaries including a circular boundary that it shares with three other states.

According to the information received you are seeking review of a master plan for a 686.8 acre to include 2,885 residential units and 67.7 acres of commercial area.

Additionally, these comments reflect only issues that are the responsibility of the agencies represented at the meeting. As discussed at the meeting the master plan areas will not need to go back through PLUS for each site developer, however it may need to be reviewed again if additional lands are added, major changes are made to the overall site plan, or uses of the areas are changed; i.e, residential to commercial or commercial to residential. Ifchanges are planned, the developer should contact this office to discuss. The developers will also need to comply with any Federal, State, and local regulations regarding this property. We also note that as The T own of Millville is the governing authority over this land, the developers will need to comply with any and all regulations/restrictions set forth by the town. Stratesies for State Policies and Snendins This project is located in Investment Levels 2 and 3 according to the Strategies for State Policies and Spending.

  • 4.0 Background Conditions
    DRAFT VERSION 4.0 Background Conditions 04/23/2014 The designation of a roadway as a State of Delaware Byway or National Scenic Byway should not impede the intended purpose of that roadway to safely and efficiently move goods and people. Therefore, as part of this Corridor Management Plan (CMP), it is important to evaluate the current/existing and future conditions of the roadway being designated as a Byway. Displaying, summarizing and analyzing existing data pertaining to roadway physical characteristics, traffic volumes, accident locations and other significant data will assist with, and provide awareness of, the various operational and physical characteristics that should be considered during designation and implementation of the Scenic Byway. This collection of data also familiarizes the reader of this CMP with the Nanticoke Heritage Byway roadway characteristics. These characteristics should be considered in corridor planning efforts and future decision-making. In addition, the data serves as a baseline for any future analysis on the impacts of Scenic Byway designation and implementation of projects. 4.1 Roadway Characteristics The Nanticoke Heritage Byway extends approximately 35 miles in Western Sussex County. This Corridor Management Plan (CMP) has divided the Nanticoke Heritage Byway into five (5) segments, or sections to assist with the review and graphical representation of the corridor analysis. Figures 4-1 – 4-5 display maps of the corridor and each of the five segments. • Segment 1 (8.0 miles) – From Trap Pond State Park to Town of Laurel to the west. • Segment 2 (12.3 miles) – From Town of Laurel to Phillips Landing State Park to the west, and to the north through Town of Bethel to the Woodland Ferry.
