Lewes planners to meet April 21
The Lewes Planning Commission will meet virtually at 6 p.m., Wednesday, April 21. Commissioners will consider a recommendation on the final subdivision plan for Lewes Waterfront Preserve. The developer is seeking approval to build 89 townhouses on 34.64 acres on New Road adjacent to Canary Creek. The group will also consider a request to subdivide property along Schley Avenue into four lots. Three of the four lots conform to city code requirements, while the fourth is undersized. The board of adjustment approved a variance for the smaller lot earlier this year. Commissioners will consider a rezoning request for the former Lewes Dairy property at 660 Pilottown Road from industrial to R-2, low-density residential.
