+description: "This Joint Resolution vacates the parkland dedication for Tax Parcel No. 19-009.00-011 (\"the Property\"), removing the restrictions on permitted uses for public parks, held in public trust as provided in the common law, including the restrictions under Anderson v. Mayor and Council of Wilmington, 137 A.2d 521 (Del. Ch. 1958) and Lord v. City of Wilmington, 332 A.2d 414 (Del. Ch. 1975), aff'd, 378 A.3d 635 (Del. 1977). The removal of the parkland dedication allows for New Castle County to transfer the Property in accordance with § 1521(e) of Title 9. Due to the Property’s unique location, there are no known current or future public needs or benefits in continuing to restrict the use of the Property as parkland. Currently, the neighboring businesses are using a portion of the Property for parking."
