  • Delaware National TIS Review Letter
    September 25, 2017 Mr. Troy E. Brestel Project Engineer DelDOT Division of Planning P.O. Box 778 Dover, DE 19903 RE: Agreement No. 1773 Traffic Impact Study Services Task No. 1A Subtask 5A – Delaware National Dear Mr. Brestel: McCormick Taylor has completed its review of the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) for the Delaware National residential development prepared by Michael Maris Associates, Inc. (MMA) dated July 10, 2017. MMA prepared the report in a manner generally consistent with DelDOT’s Development Coordination Manual [formerly Standards and Regulations for Subdivision Streets , incorporated by reference into the New Castle County Unified Development Code 40.11.130]. The TIS evaluates the impacts of the Delaware National residential development, proposed to be located on the south side of Delaware Route 48 (Lancaster Pike / New Castle Road 237), on the east and west sides of Hercules Road (New Castle Road 282) and west of Centerville Road (New Castle Road 272) in New Castle County, Delaware. In total, the proposed development would consist of 158 single-family detached houses and 104 townhouses on approximately 205 acres of land. The Wilmington and Western Railroad runs north and south through the site, and the development would therefore be divided into three parts. The part west of Hercules Road would have 19 single-family detached houses; the part east of Hercules Road but west of the railroad would have 104 single-family detached houses; the part east of the railroad but west of Centerville Road would have 35 single-family detached houses and 104 townhouses. The following access points are proposed: two along Hercules Road (to serve all parts of the site west of the railroad) with additional access via interconnection to the Ashland Research Center and Norman Drive (to serve units east of Hercules Road and west of the railroad), one along Red Clay Drive (to serve the majority of the site east of the railroad), and one along Penn Oak Drive (to serve approximately 18 units).

  • III. Background Research A. Physical Environment the Weldin Plantation
    III. Background Research A. Physical Environment The Weldin Plantation Site (7NC-B-11) is located in Brandywine Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware. It is situated in the rolling uplands associated with the Piedmont Upland Section of the Piedmont Physiographic Province at about 360 feet above mean sea level. The Piedmont Upland Section is characterized by broad rolling hills and is dissected by valleys (Plank and Schenck 1998). The Weldin Plantation Site is drained by Matson Run, which is a tributary to Brandywine Creek, which drains into the Delaware River. 1. Climate New Castle County has a humid continental climate that is altered by the nearby Atlantic Ocean. Generally weather systems move from west to east in the warmer half of the year, but during the colder half, alternating high and low pressure systems dominate the weather. Winds from the west and northwest are associated with high pressure systems, and bring cooler temperatures and clear skies. Easterly winds caused by low pressure systems are affected by the Atlantic, providing higher temperatures, clouds, and much of the precipitation to the county (Mathews and Lavoie 1970). The average annual temperature in New Castle County is 54 degrees Fahrenheit, with an average daily temperature of 33 degrees in January (the coldest month) and 76 degrees in July (the warmest month). The County averages about 45 inches of annual precipitation, which is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year. In Wilmington, the growing season lasts from the middle of April to the end of October, but this varies in other parts of the county. In the western and northwestern parts it is 175 to 185 days, while it is 195 to 205 days in the eastern and southeastern parts of the county.

  • The History of the Original Forwood School
    History of Forwood / History of Forwood School Page 1 of 3 The History of the Original Forwood School 1799 Remember that plaque above the vestibule of Forwood School located on Silverside Road, and how you sometimes wondered about all the boys and girls who had played in the schoolyard below it over more than a hundred years, when that seemed forever, and you wondered too about the grownups that planned and built the school? For lots of us they were our own actual family, for some of us back to twice-great grandparents. For all of us they somehow tied us into exciting times before we were born. Forwood School was to have an active life of 140 years, longer than any other public school building in Delaware has yet had. It"s a story that goes back to the very beginnings of real public education not only in this State but in the country. The late 1700"s were years bubbling with new ideas in government, business, and general ways of living. In 1789 the Constitution of the United States had made a workable single country from the thirteen loosely allied States that had won the Revolution a few years before. Delaware was the first to join that union. Delaware also drafted a new Constitution for itself in 1791/1792. One of its new ideas was an order to the Assembly to provide for education. This was one of the earliest State Constitutions to do so. There had, of course, been schools in Delaware back to Swedish times. Here, as elsewhere, schools had been of three kinds only : private ventures; church supported; and cooperatives where groups of neighbors hired a teacher for their own children.
