There’s a rebellion brewing in Rehoboth Beach.
Hundreds are angered by a law that will make it harder for them to build large houses.
And they have handed in a petition to force the town commissioners to take another vote.
They must have gathered 40 percent of the electorate in order to force the vote.
That will force suspension of the ordinance until its reconsideration.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that if there is not a reversal residents vow to force a referendum.
The paper reports that the ordinance was approved late last month increasing the amount of open space a home must have.
This would limit additions and large homes with porches and outside pools.
