DRAFT SPECIAL PR&CE - 11-29-2005 - 1
WHEREAS, there is regular flooding of property in the Puncheon Run watershed that is
progressively worsening; and
WHEREAS, individual storm water retention ponds have been established in recent years to
manage storm water run off into this watershed; and
WHEREAS, these individual storm water retention ponds have been established without
consideration of the cumulative effect of storm water run off from multiple developments and
infrastructure improvements throughout the watershed; and,
WHEREAS, the lack of coordination and a watershed-wide assessment of the cumulative effect
of these developments and infrastructure improvements may be contributing to the worsening
flooding along Puncheon Run; and,
WHEREAS, the established storm water retention ponds are not being maintained and
homeowner associations may not be able to maintain storm water retention ponds in the area of
Puncheon Run; and
WHEREAS, new developments and infrastructure improvements in the watershed currently
being considered, including the Eden Hill Farm Development, the Kesselring Farm
Development, the Nottingham Woods Subdivision; and, Governors Avenue Improvements and
the proposed West Dover Connector, may threaten the watershed’s capacity and worsen the
flooding conditions unless comprehensive and effective storm water management measures are
put into place; and
WHEREAS, these new developments and infrastructure improvements provide opportunities for
making significant improvements in storm water management if these improvements are based
on a comprehensive study of the entire watershed area; and
WHEREAS, there is no clear intergovernmental leadership responsibility for conducting such a
comprehensive study; and
WHEREAS, representatives from the State Department of Natural Resources and Environmental
Control, Delaware Department of Transportation, Kent County Conservation District, and
owners of land in the watershed have recommended that a “Puncheon Run Watershed Action
Team” be created to provide this intergovernmental leadership.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET:
1. That the City of Dover endorses the formation of a Puncheon Run Watershed Action
Team whose purpose would be to study the hydrology of the watershed, develop a storm
water model, recommend regional strategies and best practices for storm water
management, and recommend physical improvements to resolve flooding.
2. That the City of Dover serve as the lead agency for the Puncheon Run Watershed Action
Team and authorize the City Manager or his representative to apply for funding for work
of the Puncheon Run Watershed Action Team.
