  • Chapter II- the D/KC MPO STUDY AREA CHARACTERISTICS and PROJECTED CONDITIONS
    Chapter II- THE D/KC MPO STUDY AREA CHARACTERISTICS AND PROJECTED CONDITIONS General Area Characteristics The D/KC MPO metropolitan planning area consists of Kent County, Delaware (the County). As the middle of the three counties in the state of Delaware, the County is situated between New Castle County (more intensely developed) to the north and Sussex County (predominantly rural) to the south. Although the three counties have different land use and transportation planning challenges, they share the fact that the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is responsible for 90% of all roads within the State (DelDOT Annual Report and Transportation Facts, 2018, pp. 4). In addition to different land use and transportation challenges, all three counties have a designated Urbanized Area associated with a metropolitan planning organization (MPO). The Dover, Delaware Urbanized Area (UA) (established after the 1990 US Census) is located in the middle of the County and extends (after the 2010 Census) just north into New Castle County. The small portion of the Dover, Delaware UA that extends into New Castle County is supported by WILMAPCO (the MPO responsible for New Castle County) through an agreement. This chapter will focus on different types of land use information that helps define the general characteristics in the County and that help establish a baseline when measuring projected conditions out to 2045. Data An essential aspect of the MTP planning process includes obtaining and analyzing data to assist in the development of MTPs and, specifically, in this instance, the Innovation 2045 MTP Update. A variety of data and planning studies were collected and reviewed from federal, state, regional, and local agencies to ensure the latest available information was used to update Innovation 2045 MTP.

Plan Amendment Dear Ms. Brittingham: Thank you for meeting with State agency planners on March 2, 2005 to discuss the proposed City of Milford Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Please note that changes to the amendment, 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 following are a complete list of comments received by State agencies: Office of State Planning Coordination – Contact: David Edgell 739-3090 1. The “Greater Milford Area” on map 1 is a bit too great. We appreciate the City looking at growth patterns in the region, but are unsure what the intention is of this map. The research that went into developing this map should be described in the text, and the map should be re-drafted as a simple radius around the town. The current maps specificity makes it appear that the City intends to annex this area at some point in time. Please be advised that by the State is not recognizing that this is anything other than a regional planning map. It will not be considered justification for any future annexation plans. 2. We question the application of the “urban mix” designation for the large parcel on the western edge of the City, along Milford / Harrington Hwy and along 113.

The compiler confesses that his main motivation for this study came from his frustration in trying with limited knowledge to untangle the strands of this large and complicated family. The Cedar
