Kevin Barna, the county’s preservation planner, summarized the site’s history and the Historic Review Board’s recommendation. He said the meeting house and cemetery trace to the late seventeenth century, with the surviving church constructed in 1845 and renovated in 1906. “When this came before the historic review board, it was reviewed as application 20 24 dash 0527DashH,” Barna said, and he identified the property by tax parcel numbers and location. Barna told the committee the church and cemetery meet New Castle County historic overlay criteria A, D, E and K and that the Historic Review Board voted to approve the application at its November 6, 2024 meeting.

Barna said the cemetery parcel is about 1.94 acres and that the site has continued to accept burials. He described the site’s significance under multiple criteria, including its listing on the National Register of Historic Places (listed February 6, 2020) and its value for local architectural and burial-practice history.

Councilman Cartier (attending after a technical delay) praised volunteers who maintain the site and said the board overseeing the property has raised funds for renovations. “I\u0000'm strongly in support of this historic, zoning overlay ordinance,” Cartier said, and added he would sponsor the ordinance at the full Council meeting next Tuesday.

Anne Daley, treasurer of the Newark Union Corporation, spoke by phone and urged approval. “I wanna thank you all for considering this ordinance,” Daley said, and asked the committee to approve the designation to preserve the property for the future.

The committee heard that written public support was received from Councilman Cartier and state Representative Deborah Heffernan. The county staff recommendation and the Historic Review Board’s favorable vote were presented to the committee; no committee vote on the ordinance was taken during the meeting. The chair said the item will proceed to the full County Council for consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","New Castle County - Land Use Committee - Jul 01, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The New Castle County Land Use Department presented ordinance 22-006 to create a historic overlay zoning district for the Newark Union Church and Cemetery on the west side of Newark Union Public Road.","taxTitle","New Castle County, Delaware","taxId",12637,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6552186,"Committee hears plan for Delaware Storage Solutions in Mill Creek Hundred",15,236000,251000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5129018-53a91739aaa3af69d7f0744f0f4023e4&start=236&end=251","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5129018-53a91739aaa3af69d7f0744f0f4023e4/thumbnail_236000.jpg","/articles/6552186/New-Castle-County/Delaware/Committee-hears-plan-for-Delaware-Storage-Solutions-in-Mill-Creek-Hundred","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552186-c36b89833e9d280a31b50f6db8cc10ef/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190568&Signature=TCxdl6CqvtCneMGWFvDxFwQ2O2h6KfVhtQ4EeJRShKYFvCu7oOi3u5GI98uYv4bKhtRm-72Vc2VF2J7MldiTHphQYqquVslL2WDJVC7odVqvDcY5p9sOLD5NdXVaK5OszehGL2niwr0LTCyWmAIdL-t98N4sakbhnCqsdeBbOfAu3sfm-I-Q9V9Sg0wz7TvEatdvLzk1xjnj7FrYm-fwXFvS6DbGM4NYfzymqw1UUT4iovAQnN0zDUhgCc-rFMzWqZQC6n~7U0T4v4oU2pa46za0V7D0CS0puXZL54gDVUKLdGDzfhCxpAXbISk1PhpEX5ICduwcjvRspgLZfdBMbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New Castle County Land Use Committee heard a presentation on a proposed self-storage development by Delaware Storage Solutions in Mill Creek Hundred.

Councilman Sheldon, sponsor of the item, said the plan would convert a site behind Kirkwood Highway — behind Ferris Renovation and Richardson's Flower Market — into a self-storage facility. “Those are houses in the back that'll be tore down,” Sheldon said, adding that the parcel is zoned for the proposed use and that he had not heard adverse responses from neighbors.

Committee members and staff reported no public commenters at the meeting. The chair said the item will appear on the committee's agenda for formal consideration at the next step in the process.

Background: The proposal will remove existing residential structures at the rear of the parcel; council discussion concentrated on zoning and visibility from Route 13. No formal vote or permit decision was made during the committee meeting.","The Land Use Committee heard a presentation on a proposal by Delaware Storage Solutions to develop a self-storage facility behind Kirkwood Highway in Mill Creek Hundred.

An attorney representing both property owners, Thomas Mamarella, told the committee the two lots have separate driveways and that the parties agreed the easement is no longer necessary. “Both property owners have agreed to the termination,” Mamarella said, adding that a sale of Lot 24 included a release of easement rights by the buyers and sellers that left the properties independent.

Councilwoman Durham said the Land Use Department had reviewed the request and concurred. “It has been through the land use department and, gotten their concurrence,” she said. Committee members reported no public objections at the time of the meeting.

The item was not finally decided; the chair said it would be placed on the full County Council agenda for formal approval next Tuesday. No formal vote on the termination occurred at the committee meeting.

Background: The resolution concerns the public record and property title by extinguishing the recorded easement that had once provided cross-access between the two parcels.

Councilman Street publicly thanked the police department and the Department of Public Works for their assistance during the Dunleith Day event, citing rapid police response to a threat and active participation by officers and additional trash collection by public works staff. “We had officers come out and not only protect everybody there, but they actively participated in the activities,” Street said.
