Lewes Beach residents sound off on proposed ordinances


Friday, February 12, 2021
Lewes Beach residents used their opportunity to speak at a May 3 public hearing to discourage mayor and city council from passing two controversial ordinances aimed at addressing sea-level rise and source water protection.

The existing ordinance, which was adopted in 2008, allows a maximum of 20 percent lot coverage on all properties within the excellent recharge area, as defined by the state. Applicants can increase lot coverage to 50 percent with an environmental impact assessment report that shows post-development water recharge will be no less than pre-development recharge. ....
