New Castle County to host ‘Meet Your County Government’ session for homeowner associations Jan. 18

2012-01-18T11:25:00.000-05:00

New Castle County to host ‘Meet Your County Government’
session for homeowner associations Jan. 18

New Castle County will host a “Meet Your County Government” seminar for leaders of the county’s 800 homeowner associations from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 18, at the James H. Gilliam Building, 77 Reads Way, New Castle.

Leaders from each of the county’s departments will be on hand to answer questions from Homeowner Associations’ boards of directors.

The seminar is the first in a series the county will hold this year as part of its new Homeowner Association Help Line, a call center and website that County Executive Paul Clark launched in November as a resource for maintenance corporations and civic associations on topics from storm water management to annual dues to grass-cutting schedules for open space.

“The leaders of these associations are among the unsung heroes of the county, and we want to do everything we can to help them address questions and concerns quickly and efficiently,” Clark said. “The help line and the information sessions we are holding will give them a valuable connection to their county government and aid them in their work in communities throughout the county.”

For more information call the help line at (302) 395-5601, email HAHL@nccde.org or go to www.nccde.org/HAHL.

Environmental Summit - Feb 11 Fourth Delaware Environmental Summit Saturday morning, February 11, 2012, 8:30-1:00 Wilmington University in Dover

Environmental Summit - Feb 11

Fourth Delaware Environmental Summit

Saturday morning, February 11, 2012, 8:30-1:00
Wilmington University in Dover

As in the past, we'll have a plenary session followed by breakout sessions and then a final get-together to share the plans coming out of the breakout sessions.

There are five sessions this year:
1. Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
2. Shoreline and Ocean Issues
3. Delaware River Issues: Fracking and Deepening
4. Statewide Land Use Issues
5. Public Health and the Environment

This year we will run each session just once in order to allow sufficient time for formulation of concrete plans for actions to be taken. Following the completion of the breakout sessions, these plans will be presented to the entire Summit. All attendees will have a chance to join one or more working groups that will meet during the next year (or more) to accomplish the desired goals. You can join a working group started by the session you participated in and/or you can join another group that interests you and could benefit from your skills and experience. We also hope that you will recruit others in your environmental organization and your network of friends and colleagues to join the effort. Working together, we can accomplish our goals.

Next week you will receive write-ups describing the topics to be covered in each breakout session and a response form to pre-register for the Summit. As in previous years, if your environmental organization helps sponsor the Summit with a $25.00 donation, you and other members will be able to attend for free as will students and guests invited by the organizing committee. Others will be asked for a $5.00 donation per individual.

Please forward this notice to friends and colleagues and check to see if your organization is willing to be a sponsor.

I’d also like to personally thank Sr. Cpl. Mike Snead and Detective Pat Malone for their time and effort they put into the meeting. I’d also like Stephanie Rizzo, my legislative aide, for working with the Police to get this meeting put together in a week’s time. It was very productive.

Sweeney Public Safety Building (New Castle County Police Headquarters) at 3601 N. DuPont Highway in New Castle from 5:00 – 6:30 PM. Please come to see if some of your property has been recovered.

A Message from State Representative Deborah Hudson November 10, 2011 Dear Neighbor, Important DelDOT Traffic Advisory on the Route 141 Newport

2011-11-10T10:48:00.004-05:00

Dear Neighbor,

Important DelDOT Traffic Advisory on the Route 141 Newport Bridge

DelDOT is advising motorists to expect intermittent lane and ramp closures on the Route 141 Newport Bridge as Phase 2 of the bridge rehabilitation project gets underway. For more information on what the project will entail and how motorists may be impacted, please see the article below.

If I can be of help to you on a legislative or district matter, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Sincerely,

State Representative Deborah Hudson
302-651-9571

DelDOT Press Release -- November 2011

TRAFFIC ALERT - Phase 2 Begins for the Route 141 Newport Bridge Rehabilitation Project

Newport -- As part of the on-going $14 million Route 141 Newport Bridge Rehabilitation Project, the Department of Transportation (DelDOT) announces that intermittent lane and ramp closures will impact motorists. Phase 1 of the construction began in June 2011 which consisted of the preparation of a shoulder and median for temporary vehicular traffic.

Phase 2 is underway which introduces the crossover or "cattle chute" that allows bridge repair work to occur while maintaining two open travel lanes on Route 141 northbound from the I-95 ramps to the Boxwood Road Exit ramp. There will be periodic closures of the Route 141 northbound Exit 4 off-ramp and Route 141 northbound on-ramp from James Street.

In an effort to alleviate any traffic issues with morning and evening commutes, the contractor will maintain two travel lanes in each direction during peak hours for the duration of construction. Please be aware of changing traffic patterns, slow moving construction vehicles, and construction personnel in the "work zone."

Variable message signs and detours will be posted to alert motorists. Detours will be intermittent on weekday evenings from 10 PM through 5 AM and on weekends.

The anticipated project completion date is set for summer 2013.

New Castle County launches call center and website for homeowner associations

2011-11-09T14:07:00.002-05:00

Nov. 9, 2011 -- New Castle County Executive Paul Clark today announced the launch of a new centralized communications resource for the more than 800 maintenance corporations and civic associations in the county. The county's Homeowner Association Help Line - 395-5601 - will give directors of these homeowner groups easy access to answers on everything from storm water management to annual dues to grass-cutting schedules for parks. The goal, Clark said, is to help homeowner associations address questions and concerns quickly and efficiently. "My experience working with maintenance associations and civic groups has made it clear that they need a way to get easily accessible information," Clark said. "We want to help people navigate through the system and get them answers as quickly as we can. It's all about providing exemplary customer service and helping to build community." The county has set up a Homeowner Association Help Line website, www.nccde.org/hahl, as an additional resource for those with questions about homeowner associations. And starting in January the county will hold quarterly information sessions on topics important to homeowner associations. The first session will introduce the initiative and will include representatives from all county departments. "These countywide community outreach meetings will be valuable forums for questions and answers related to homeowner associations," Clark said. "It's important for residents to have this kind of direct contact with their county government." The call center is designated to serve the needs of homeowner associations directors; the county's general customer-service line - 395-5555 - remains the number residents should call with questions or concerns about code violations or general county government services. The call center will be staffed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Since the center will use existing county staff, startup costs will be minimal and will come from the existing budget. All calls to the 395-5601 help line will be entered into a database to provide information for county administrators and County Council on the types of calls received, where they came from and how and when they were resolved. The help line's staff will use the call logs to develop a list of common questions and answers. "We presented this program to County Council this week and look forward to collaborating with council members to enhance service to the homeowner associations in their districts," Clark said. Maintenance corporations are legal bodies mandated in some communities to govern issues such as maintaining open space, managing storm water and removing snow. Membership in a maintenance corporation is made part of the deed when a house is purchased, and residents are billed a mandatory annual assessment. Civic associations are voluntary groups of dues-paying residents who sponsor community events and advocate on issues that affect their communities. Some communities are represented by both maintenance corporations and civic associations.

Ken Bunting, Executive Director of the National Freedom of Information Coalition, will give an overview of the free flow of information nationwide and will explore how the ability to share public information electronically in a modern digital age affects access to open government and open records. He also will focus on increasing costs to access public records in Delaware, general weaknesses in Delaware’s Freedom of Information Act, state lobbying law reforms and more.

The program also will feature brief comments by a committee that will illuminate the results of the United States Public Interest Research Group (USPIRG) report “Following the Money,” in which Delaware was listed 31st in an emerging status report. Mr. Bunting’s talk and the PIRG commentary will be followed by questions from the audience.

Bunting is a former Pulitzer Prize judge and former associate publisher and executive editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer where he was in charge of responses and strategy regarding legal matters involving the newspaper and its staffers, including copyrights and trademarks as well as First Amendment and access issues.

Please join us. Collectively, we can exert a powerful force for good here in Delaware. If we the people are willing and eager to work together, we can help to bring about government of the First State that not only is of the people, by the people and for the people, but also is open to the people.

LOST DOG

2011-10-19T23:36:00.000-04:00

My name is Susan Robinson and I reside at 506 Hillside Avenue. My 12
year old family dog wandered off on Monday evening towrads the park
(10/17/11) around 6pm and my family and I are so sad to report he
remains unfound. He is a 12 year old American Staffordshire (see
attached picture). His primary color is tan with a white chest. His
name is Cy and he is very loving. He may look intimidating to
strangers but rest assure, he really wants to give you a big kiss. He
is an older family dog and we are all sick with nerves that he has
been gone for so long. I have posted a lost dog alert on craigslist,
pet finder and find fido websites. I also put up many flyers
throughout the neighborhood and Centerville and Foulkland Roads.
Unfortunately, the rain will not let up so the flyers may be ruined by
now. If you could please do anything in your power to put word out
there to our community in an effort to bring our family pet home safe
we would be grateful. Please contact me at 588-0520 or Dave at
290-7998 with any info. you may have to offer as to local suggestions
for our area. Thank you.

Regards,
Susan & Dave

Brookland Terrace Water Main Renewal Project

2011-09-21T21:51:00.012-04:00

There was a meeting Artesian Water , Public Service Commission & Valerie McCartan from Senator Blevins office there was a mix up on the times & the Brookland Terrace Civic Club did not connect with the rest of the group .

As Artesian Water & Public Service Commission representative the was a bit later then expected .

We were a bit bummed the Brookland Terrace didn't have a representative there as I was looking forward to settling some of the issues in one fell swoop .

We also wish to thank Senator Blevins for setting up the meeting we very much appreciate this . I had a nice conversation with Valerie McCartan from Senator Blevins office who did attend the meeting .

And we would like to thank State Representative Deborah Hudson & NCC Councilman Tim Sheldon for all he help throughout this process .

Moving forward as far as the reconstruction ..

- There is a drive way that Artesian Water compensating home owner for , Wording on this agreement needed to be modified exclude separate issue on the property & still needs to be finalized , but Artesian Water has agreed to this .

- Most of the grass issues will most likely be ongoing follow up item for Artesian Water .

After talking with Del-DOT grass has been an issue with many reconstruction projects this summer due to the odd ball weather .

There was a suggestion of rye seed to establish the banks , it is possible some sod might be needed in places though there are pros & cons such as sod needs to be watered .

If any one has any preferences on how the grass should be handled please let us know .

- There is minor road damage on East Brookland Ave that I am sure Artesian will take care of .

- As well as some fill in level of crush & run in the paper road portion of East Brookland Ave . a old piece of water main as well .

These are all the outstanding issues with the Brookland Terrace Water Main Renewal Project that we have been made aware of .

We will talk to Artesian Water about these , we are feeling we are close to the end as far as the outstanding reconstruction issues go .

If any one has any other outstanding issues that we are missing please let us know sooner rather then later .

Artesian Water's Response

Pictures

1. Technivate did not go into the area with the crush and run
2. This is Terra Cotta pipe it is not from our job it is not a material that would be used on any of our jobs.
3. This topsoil was done on Friday 9/16/2011
4. This road damage was not caused by Technivate and the wood is not from them either.
5. This area is covered by trees it will be hard to get grass to grow and it will be taken over by the ivy.
6. The dimples in the road were not caused by Technivate. They could have been caused by the gas company that was there after we left or the private contractor building the garage on this street.

7. Damage to East Brookland was existing before we started. I used Google earth and you can clearly see the damage in their photos.

8. The grass on East Brookland was just planted on 9/16/2011

9. The restoration from the 141 job in 2010 is not Artesians responsibility it was the states contract and their contractor was to restore the area.

10. Beech Ave. this grass was just planted on 9/16/2011 as was the grass on Walnut.

I would also like to add that I viewed the video of the area before Artesian started the job. This area gets very little sun and has a lot of tall trees so it is hard to grow grass and the ivy takes over.

As Charlie mentions, we have just recently (last week) planted grass.

Please let me know if you would like anything further.

Del DOT Archaeology & Historic Background Research Report w Maps .

2011-09-01T13:01:00.000-04:00

We found part of a Del DOT Archaeology & Historic Background Research Report with some interesting maps .

http://www.deldot.gov/archaeology/historic_pres/sr141/pdf/background.pdf

Excerpt of the report ..

According to deed record D-29-605, the original Brookland Terrace subdevelopment was platted in 1920 immediately north of the trolley line along Kirkwood Highway. The development encompassed 241.4 acres of land between Faulkland Road and Kirkwood Highway and between Ferris Road and Centerville Road and included the present day communities of Woodland Heights, Davis Terrace, and Brookland Terrace. Lots were platted on a grid with straight streets, multiple access roads, and regular lot sizes measuring 20 feet of frontage by 100 feet deep. The development grew irregularly out from three pockets along Ferris (SR 141) and Centerville roads between 1930 and the early 1950s. House lots varied in size, combining between two and six original parcels. The greatest concentration of construction occurred in the 1930s.
The 25-acre William Frederick Property subdivision, located along the east side of SR 141 immediately opposite Brookland Terrace, was platted in 1931 and developed into the 1950s. Lot sizes included 25 feet of frontage and either 100 or 125 feet of depth. Although by that time the widespread use of the automobile was leading to progressively more park-like subdevelopments with curved streets, limited access, and a growing use of cul-de-sacs, the Frederick landscape design reflects the earlier gridded plats.
Architecturally, these Wilmington suburbs developed concurrently with national trends toward smaller houses with simpler designs. The majority of Brookland Terrace’s building stock dates from the 1930s and was built in the popular bungalow style. Dwellings included Craftsman, Cape Cod, side- and front- gable cottage sub-styles, with some Colonial Revival-style dwellings. The contemporary Frederick development includes a similar mix of styles with a greater emphasis on Colonial Revival-style houses.

Issues with Artesian Water

2011-08-22T14:57:00.009-04:00

There have been multiple issues with Artesian Water .

- Multiple water leaks at multiple dozens of Artesian Water valves over the past several years in the terrace .

Most of these repairs have taken months to be addressed by Artesian Water & months for work to be completed

- Ongoing issues regarding reconstruction during the Artesian Water Main Renewal Project

During the current Brookland Terrace Water Main Renewal project , gas line were broken that home owners had to notify your crews about , lack of silt fences , no traffic control , cars blocked in drive ways , water turned off with out notice , tree roots were cut with a it will be ok . With clean up and restoration staples improperly inserted , improper grading , silted up storm drains , curbs walkways & steps improperly redone , walls half redone & this is just a sampling .

- Artesian Water shutting off service with out doing three late notices as required by the Public Service Commission tariff .

From what we have been able to gather after talking with Public Service Commission , Artesian Water is required to do at least three notices , a Letter , Door Hanger , Phone Calls speaking with a person or with messages left would all count as a notice .

There is also at least a thirty day grace period of sorts for this notice process to take place .

It has been brought to our attention that multiple homes in Brookland Terrace had water service shut off by Artesian Water with out receiving a bill , nor the required three notices , & inside of the required 30 day grace period of the due date , charging a $100 reconnection fee .

If any one has had issues with Artesian Water or know of others that have in any of the above matters please let us know .

We would like to have as complete a picture as possible as we can move forward rectifying the ongoing issues with Artesian Water .

Artesian Water response to the above

Link to May Post :Water Leak Reported 13 May 2011 at Vermont & Armstrong Ave .
For those of us who had forgotten it had last rained 0.22 " on the 6th of May

Here is the text of the Artesian Water Company Response to Public Service Commission :

Bills for Brookland Terrace customers were sent on June 20, 2011. To avoid penalties, payment must have been received by July 15, 2011. The Shut-Off Notice was sent on July 19, 2011 with a “Must be Paid By” date of August 2, 2011 to avoid disconnection. A recorded phone message was sent to all who were delinquent on August 4, 2011, except for the very few who have not provided us with a phone number. This call is a courtesy call not required by tariff. A review of customer phone calls during the period in question shows there were nine phone calls from residents of Brookland Terrace having to do with disconnected service due to non -payment. Of the nine calls, six calls were to report payment had been made and asking when reconnection would occur, two asked for extensions which were granted and one stated he did not receive the shut off notice that was mailed to him July 19, 2011. A courtesy call could not be made to this customer because he had not provided a phone number. Elaine Christopher Artesian Water
