Regional Planning Commission 06-11-2026

The Kent County Levy Court's Regional Planning Commission held a business meeting on June 11, 2026, focusing primarily on preliminary approvals for two major residential subdivision projects: Pintail Crossing and Carter Creek. The commission granted conditional preliminary approval for Pintail Crossing, a 52-lot subdivision, contingent upon relocation of the bus stop within the development, compliance with staff recommendations, and receipt of formal approval from the Lake Forest School District regarding the bus stop arrangement within 60 days. The discussion included detailed considerations of bus stop safety, traffic flow, and infrastructure design, with input from engineers and public testimony highlighting community concerns about traffic impacts and school bus safety. The commission also conditionally approved Carter Creek, a 40-lot single-family residential development, with waivers granted for stormwater management pond setbacks and sidewalk installation requirements. Public comments emphasized neighborhood safety, traffic concerns, and the importance of community engagement. The meeting concluded with a call for future discussions on sidewalk waivers and infrastructure improvements in existing neighborhoods lacking sidewalks.
