Wilmington Subdivision Ordinance Update

On Monday March 29th, the City of Wilmington, in coordination with their consultant Duncan Associates, hosted a constituent consultation meeting regarding their Subdivision Ordinance Update. Mark Parker, P.E., Principal of Landmark/JCM was invited to be part of this meeting. The meeting was held at the City County building and included City Officials, other engineers and land use attorneys.

The goal of these ongoing meetings have been to seek input from those using the codes and making land use applications within the city. Duncan Associates is compiling comments and ideas from these meetings and shaping the ordinance update accordingly.

Some of the topics discussed yesterday included green technology practices for stormwater management, new and improved street cross sections and proper implementation, transportation issues including how to get multiple points of access on water-locked lands, pedestrian and bicycle facilities throughout the city, electronic submissions for all final approvals and even bonding or other surety for public improvements.

The meeting was very productive and these consultations continue to lend valuable input to the ongoing update process. To discuss how these changes may impact your current or future projects, contact Landmark/JCM. We will continue to participate in this process and keep our clients updated.
