  • Glasgow Avenue TIS Review Letter
    September 29, 2016 Mr. Troy Brestel Project Engineer Development Coordination DelDOT Division of Planning P O Box 778 Dover, DE 19903 RE: Agreement No. 1654 Project Number T201469011 Traffic Impact Study Services Task 8A-Glasgow Avenue Dear Mr. Brestel: Johnson, Mirmiran and Thompson (JMT) has completed the review of the Final Traffic Impact Study (TIS) for Glasgow Avenue, prepared by Landmark Science & Engineering. This review was assigned Task Number 8A. Landmark Science & Engineering prepared the report in a manner generally consistent with DelDOT’s Development Coordination Manual. The TIS evaluates the impacts of a large mixed-use development that will consist of a 207,500 square foot shopping center, a 5,000 square foot drive-in bank, 72,000 square feet of general office space, 14,200 square feet of medical office space, and a 9,800 square foot high-turnover sit-down restaurant. The subject site is located southwest of the US Route 40 (New Castle Road 32) and Delaware Route 896 (New Castle Road 387) intersection in New Castle County. The site is approximately 30.9 acres of land and is currently split-zoned as CR (Commercial Regional) and S (Suburban). The developer proposes to rezone the S portion of the land to CR. Of the intersections evaluated in this study to satisfy the New Castle County LOS requirements listed in the Unified Development Code (UDC), only the intersection of eastbound US Route 40 and Glasgow Avenue would not meet the requirements. However, an acceptable improvement to meet the requirements has been identified, and would allow the proposed development to meet concurrency.

According to the information received, you are seeking review of a proposed rezoning of 132.3 acres from S to ST and a proposed site plan for 336 residential units along Jamison Corner Road in New Castle County. Please note that changes to the plan, other than those suggested in this letter, could result in additional comments from the State. Additionally, these comments reflect only issues that are the responsibility of the agencies represented at the meeting. The developers will also need to comply with any Federal, State, and local regulations regarding this property. We also note that as New Castle County has governing authority over this land the developers will need to comply with any and all regulations/restrictions set forth by the County. Strategies for State Policies and Spending o This project is located in Investment Levels I and2 according to the Strategies for State Policies and Spending. Investment Level I reflects areas that are already developed in an urban or suburban fashion, where infrastructure is existing or readily available, and where future redevelopment or infill projects are expected and encouraged by State policy.
