During a recent meeting of the New Castle County Land Use Committee, discussions centered on a proposed residential development that is set to feature large homes on individual septic systems. The meeting highlighted the zoning regulations in the area, which allow for homes ranging from 4,000 to 7,000 square feet, reflecting the character of existing properties.

The committee addressed the specifics of the development, noting that each lot would be approximately one acre in size. This aligns with the zoning requirements, which dictate that properties in the area must accommodate individual septic systems due to the lack of centralized sewer services. The committee confirmed that there are no plans for a package treatment system, emphasizing the preference for maintaining individual septic setups.

While the developer has not yet finalized the design or size of the homes, interest from multiple builders suggests a competitive market for this upscale project. The discussions underscored the importance of adhering to zoning laws while also considering the community's needs for larger housing options.

No public comments were made during the meeting, indicating a lack of immediate community opposition or concern regarding the proposed development. As the project moves forward, it will be essential for the committee to monitor community feedback and ensure that the development aligns with the broader goals of sustainable growth in New Castle County.
