New Castle County Historic Review Board Background Report September 15, 2020 APPLICATION Case No. 2019-08887 PROPERTY OWNER Albert Rossi, Jr. 741 Hamburg Road New Castle, DE 19720 TAX PARCEL 09-005.00-074 LOCATION East side of New London Road, south of the intersection with Wedgewood Road SUBJECT Demolition without a permit Affiliated CRS No. N-04009 A Stop Work Notice was issued on August 18, 2020 after a Code Enforcement inspection revealed that demolition of the front porch, side porch, and rear addition were completed without the issuance of a demolition permit. The Code Enforcement inspection revealed that interior work was completed without the issuance of a building permit. I. Background Demolition application 2019-16321 appeared before the Historic Review Board in December of 2019 at a public hearing. Preliminary background research completed by Department of Land Use staff indicates that the structure is a mid-nineteenth century, post-office and General Store in the McClellandville area, located north of Newark. During the public hearing, the property owner had indicated to the Historic Review Board that he wished to demolish the structure as it was in poor condition, citing concerns over the current state of the foundation. The HRB inquired if there had been any cost-estimates or scope of work performed on the structure, which the property owner indicated there had not been. In its evaluation of the property, Department staff found that the structure met the Criteria for Listing pursuant to Section 40.15.110 of the New Castle County Code and therefore found the structure is eligible for Historic overlay zoning. At its January 5, 2020 business meeting, the HRB considered the public testimony as well as the evaluation completed by the Department, and voted to place a nine-month hold on the demolition application in order to encourage the applicant to have the structure historically documented, as well as to pursue alternatives to demolition. Following the HRB business meeting, Department staff met with the property owner to discuss alternatives to demolition, as well as the potential to have the structure historically documented. The property owner indicated that they wished to only demolish the northern portion (what is believed to be the General Store) of the structure. Staff noted that for any work to be completed, a permit would be required, and further informed the owner that given the historic significance of the structure, the applicant would have to appear before the Historic Review Board a second time in order for the HRB to consider a partial demolition and release another demolition permit. The property owner indicated they did not wish to appear back before the HRB and would wait out the nine-month time period. In subsequent conversations with the property owner, Staff offered to help the owner contact historic preservation groups that may have funding or resources available to help document or preserve the structure, should the owner be interested. In following months, the Department of Land Use partnered with the University of Delaware Center for Historic Architecture and Design (CHAD) to utilize Certified Local Government (CLG) funds to have the structure historically documented due to its threatened nature. In March of 2018, the property owner permitted CHAD to visit the structure for a class. Documentation of the structure was completed in June of this year, at which point it was discovered that several historic portions of the structure were demolished without a permit, as well as a significant amount of interior alterations were completed without a permit. II. Historic Background Based on the previous, the structure appears to meet the following criteria listed in 40.15.110 of the New Castle County Code: • Has significant character, interest, or value as an example of the development, heritage or cultural characteristics of the County, the State or the United States. o As noted above, the subject property is identified on the 1868 Beers Atlas as a post office and store owned by a William Kennedy which served the residents of the McClellandville. The structure maintains the form of a nineteenth century storefront and dwelling, as well as a notable degree of material integrity. The structure is part of the larger historic context of McClellandville, a mid-nineteenth century historic population center north of the City of Newark. The structure maintains character and value as an example of the development, heritage, and cultural characteristics of New Castle County during the nineteenth century both residentially and commercially. • Exemplifies the cultural, political, economic, social or historical heritage of the community. o The structure’s historic use as a post office / store is clear in its architecture and form. As noted earlier, there was also an intention on the owner’s part to add additional adornments on the structure specific to the style of the time. Based on historic maps, the population in McClellandville area began to flourish in the mid-nineteenth century. The structure exemplifies the cultural, social, and historical heritage of the community in its architecture, design, form, and historic use as a post office / store. • Embodies distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or engineering specimen.

  • Historic Overlay Zoning Districts

    Historic Overlay Zoning Districts

    HISTORIC OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICTS N ew Castle County contains many important historic properties including houses, factories, stores, villages and towns, farms, bridges, navigational aids, engineering works, mills, and archaeological sites representing over three centuries of settlement. These irreplaceable elements of our heritage illuminate the history of the County, maintain the character of our communities, and enhance the quality of life for all. In recent years large numbers of these landmarks have been destroyed without adequate consideration of their value to the citizens of the County. NEW CASTLE COUNTY, DELAWARE I f a property is in a Historic Overlay zoning district, it means that the County recognizes it as historically important and, by means of careful advance planning, wants to assist in protecting its historical and architectural character for the benefit of present and future generations. Change is a part of history and a part of growth. Historic zoning does not prevent change. It simply identifies properties where renovations and growth need to be carefully planned. Only projects involving exterior alteration of buildings and the development of land are evaluated under the historic design review process. Interior work is not reviewed but an owner can request guidance from the County’s preservation professionals. Historic zoning is an overlay zoning classification that does not affect the use of the property or other zoning regulations. Instead, it adds historic design review to the normal review process when building permits are requested or when proposals are made to change the base zoning or to subdivide the land. Nomination A Historic Zoning District can consist of one property, like Rockwood, or a group of many properties, like Centreville.

  • Delaware Revolutionary Tax Lists from the Delaware Public Archives

    Delaware Revolutionary Tax Lists from the Delaware Public Archives

    Delaware Revolutionary Tax Lists from the Delaware Public Archives Subcommittee of Revolutionary Taxes, Genealogy Committee, National Society Sons of the American Revolution John D. Sinks, Harold Ford, and Tilghman McCabe, Jr. March 17, 2016 Purpose of the Report Background. The state of Delaware first passed tax laws in 1777. There were earlier colonial laws, but of course none of them were passed to support the Revolution or to address requests of the Continental Congress. The Delaware tax lists that provide evidence of Patriotic Service for the Sons of the American Revolution must date between 1777 and 1783 inclusive. Every state tax levied by Delaware from 1777 through 1783, supported the War, including some that addressed a request of the Continental Congress. This included retiring bills of credit, an action requested several times by the Continental Congress in order to maintain the financial underpinnings of the Revolution. A colonial law authorizing counties to levy taxes to support civil functions remained in effect throughout the Revolution, so there is a need to distinguish county taxes (which do not provide evidence of Patriotic Service), from state taxes and combined county and state taxes (which do provide evidence of Patriotic Service). The Delaware Public Archives has custody of a number of Revolutionary tax records for the three counties of the state as well as county levy court records. These records include lists of assessments made from 1777 through 1783 as well as lists of delinquents for Kent County. By virtue of delinquency for a tax supporting the War, a taxpayer does not qualify for patriotic service even if the tax supporting the War was paid late.
