The Lewes City Council approved a residential development that includes 34 single-family homes on 18-acres of land.
It’s a wooded area known as “The 4th Street Forest”.
WBOC reports that the conditions for the development range from a walkway from Highland Heights to Highland Acres and a contribution to the city of $10-thousand to plant trees to regulations on the style of the houses.
But it drew opposition from a local group called Save a Lewes Legacy.
Last night a large crowd watched the council approve the development on a 4-to-1 vote.
