Please be advised of an upcoming scheduled maintenance period for Red Mill Pond. The scheduled maintenance period will temporarily lower water to a significantly low level in the pond to give communities and property owners the opportunity to schedule repairs, new construction and any other maintenance of property, bulkheads, pier(s) and dock(s).

The scheduled maintenance period will begin the first week in February, 2024. The water levels will begin to rise after the conclusion of the maintenance period at the end of February.

Annual Tax Ditch Meeting – Notes
Here are a few notes from an Overbrook Shores community member who attended the meeting on 11/27/2023.
  1. The board announced that they were working toward a regular twice yearly cleaning, and had signed a contract for cleaning the bottom by hand.  The next cleaning is scheduled for the first week in December.  DNREC pays for half of this.
  2. The board is planning to send a notice to all properties bounding the ditch, including Overbrook Shores, reminding them that they must clean the right of way and keep the footage accessible.
  3. Another ongoing issue is that the other end of the main culvert in Sweetbriar Park is too small and floods the surrounding lots.  The board and DNREC are in negotiations with the property owner to install a new larger culvert. They are also attempting to start a dialog with Vincent overlook about clearing the right of way and fixing flooding issues caused by changes to their rainwater collection pond. This issue is complicated as the developers are getting ready to turn management over to a not-yet-formed HOA.
  4. If you live along the tax ditch or on various sections of Jays Way or West Mill you may be interested to know of the upcoming meeting.

Annual Tax Ditch Meeting – November 27. 2023
If you live along the tax ditch or on various sections of Jays Way you may be interested to know of the upcoming meeting.
The meeting will be held Monday, November 27, 2023, 5:30 p.m. at the Milton Library.
The Agenda covers:
  • Finances
  • Maintenance Completed or Planned
  • Election of Officers
  • Tax Rate
To learn more about tax ditches visit de.gov/taxditch
Just a FYI – During the development of Overbrook Shores arrangements were worked out to exclude our properties owners from taxation.  However, properties along tax ditch do have right-of-way easements. This type of easement is used to access the ditch for maintenance and disposal of the sediment and debris from the channel during cleanout.  No permanent structures — homes, sheds, wells, ponds etc. — are permitted in the tax ditch right-of-way.

Dogs running at large

Please be mindful of the Delaware’s Regulatory Provisions Concerning Public Health. Specifically, Animal Welfare General Provisions Concerning Dog (Title 16, Chapter 30F, Subchapter IV)
‘No dog, unless specifically exempted, shall be permitted to run at large outside at any time, and must be secured by means of a leash that is capable of physically restraining the movement of the dog. A dog is not at large if it is within the real property limits of its owner, or on private property with permission, or within a vehicle being driven or parked.’
The statue goes on to state initial and subsequent fines for any dog, female dogs while in heat, or any dog bites a person while running at large.
So be a good neighbor.
  1. If you are familiar with a dog running at large, contact its owner.  
  2. If you are not familiar the dogs’ owner or if the dog presents a danger to person or pet, contact Delaware Office of Animal Welfare; Phone Number: (302) 255-4646

Snow Markers???  YES!!!
It is that time of year when you should be planning on putting out a couple of snow markers (2-4) along your yard a couple of inches in from the edge of the street’s road surface to 1) alert snowplows where the road boundaries are and/or 2) help protect your yard and any irrigation system from damage due to ‘over-plowing’.  If you live on a straight away there may not be a strong need, but snow stakes are strongly recommended if you live on a section of road that require maneuvering around obstacles or negotiating curves or bends in the road and along intersections.
Per our snow removal contact, the company advises homeowners to “Install snow stakes to help prevent damage to curbs, walks, grass, irrigation heads and other objects that may be damaged by snowplows.”  Although the contractor will exercise reasonable care to avoid damage, the contractor will not be held liable for any turf, irrigation, or curb damage if snow stakes are not installed.
Snow stakes can be found at Walmart online or at Home Depot (48″ or 24″) and Lowes (48″).

As the days become shorter and the nights longer – please, please be mindful….
Pedestrian safety is especially important as the days get shorter. Accidents involving pedestrians are far more likely to take place at night when it’s harder to see people walking.
Drivers:
  • Look for pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists when you look for oncoming vehicles and other traffic.
  • Be especially mindful in at stop signs, when backing up, or parking.
  • Be extra cautious when driving in hard-to-see conditions.
  • Slow down and be prepared to stop.
  • Yield to pedestrians and give other vehicles an opportunity to see pedestrians.
  • Check before turning to see if people are trying to cross the road and to look for oncoming cars.
Pedestrians:
  • Stay alert and ditch the distractions and like texting, talking on the cell phone, or listening to headphones. Keep your eyes and ears open.
  • Be visible: Wear bright clothing (even white clothing may not be visible at night). Add reflective material or a blinking light to your jacket or backpack or carry a flashlight at night. Be extra careful when walking at dawn or dusk.
  • Walk facing traffic and as far from traffic as possible.
  • Cross with the road caution, preferably in a well lit area or cross at corners where people driving expect pedestrians. Don’t assume the coast is clear. Continue to watch for traffic as you cross — especially for turning vehicles.
  • If you wish to cross, be sure to make eye contact with drivers. If you’re not sure the driver sees you, let the vehicle go first.
  • Watch for cars entering or exiting driveways or backing up.
