Item 1.
C-25-01 Lands of 4BL, LLC: Cecil Street Townhouses at 207 N. West Street - Update on
Revisit Request for Review of Cash-in-Lieu Payment for Active Recreation Area Requirement
for Cecil Street Townhouses project. The Planning Commission on February 18, 2025 granted
conditional approval of Conditional Use Plan and Minor Subdivision Plan application to
subdivide the existing 12,168 SF parcel located at the northeast corner of N. West Street and
Cecil Street into four (4) townhouse lots (Cecil Street Townhouses). The property is zoned RG-1
(General Residence Zone). The owner of record is 4BL, LLC. Property Address: 207 N. West
Street, Dover DE. Tax Parcel: ED-05-076.08-02-01.00-000 and others as subdivided. Council
District 4. Waiver Approved: Subdivision Waiver – Alley Requirement. Approved: Cash-in-Leu
of Active Recreation Construction. Final Plan Approval granted March 11, 2026.
Representative: Mr. Cameron Llewellyn of 4BL, LLC
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this application C-25-01 is for the development of a series of
townhouse lots. This is a property series located at the corner of N. West Street and Cecil Street.
It moved through a Conditional Use review process and Subdivision process with Planning
Commission, but because it is a proposal for residential development, it has an Active Recreation
Area requirement. Initially, that requirement was authorized to pay a Cash-in-Lieu of Recreation
Area and the City’s Zoning Ordinance establishes the calculation process for that. It involves
submission of an appraisal for the property. Once the applicant submitted that Appraisal, the
amended amount that would be due for that Cash-in-lieu payment was of concern by the
applicant. Planning Staff took a look at our Code and suggested an opportunity to revisit the
City’s Council Committee of the Whole – Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement
Committee to have them to reconsider what that amount is. That did occur back on April 14,
2026 and as a result, that Committee recommended that the Cash-in-lieu amount be revised to a
total cost of $1,000; basically $250.00 per lot. That information is what she is presenting to you
this evening. The Code otherwise would have required a Cash-in-lieu amount of $8,070 based on
the calculation method that is outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. In the Zoning Ordinance; the
ability to revisit this Cash-in-lieu amount is found in Article 5, Section 10.171 which is the
determination of suitability for cash donation. It allows the Commission to consider a full or
partial Cash-in-lieu instead of constructing Active Recreation Area. It also allows consideration
given to proximity to existing recreation facilities or other infeasibility related to the land itself.
This evening, she is reporting to the Planning Commission that the Parks, Recreation and
Community Enhancement Committee has recommended a different amount for that Cash-in-lieu.
The image on the screen shows us the location of the Cecil Street townhouse lots. It is a little
difficult to see, but in the upper part of it about a block to the north is the location of a small City
park at the corner of Kirkwood Street and Mary Street. Your packet included the most recent
summary report that was submitted to the Committee along with the diagram of this location
map and then we also have copies of the approved Subdivision Plan for this site. The next image
shows that this lot got approval to be subdivided into a series of four townhouse lots.
Mr. Llewellyn stated that they started this project because they wanted to build affordable
townhomes on this lot because it was just a massive lot compared to all of the other lots in that
vicinity. Unfortunately, that lot doesn’t meet what we call a Bulk Standard, which is just a boiler
2

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 18, 2026
Item 1.
plate definition of what a building lot is. So, we went through the various processes of getting the
Variances to turn the buildings toward Cecil Street. Very early in that process, Mr. Jason Osika,
our Fire Marshal basically said “if you put a sprinkler system in these, I won’t make you put an
alley out back.” I think we all know what happens in alleys in Downtown Dover right now. For
the benefit of the Planning Commission and a full disclosure, one of these units is for his
daughter and son in law. When the opportunity came to put a sprinkler system in, it created a lot
of new challenges. Mr. Jason Lyon can attest that it created challenges getting water mains big
enough to deal with it. To make a long story much shorter, where we are right now is we are
bouncing off an affordability issue and our 2019 Comprehensive Plan says we want affordable
homes. Later tonight, you are going to hear from a gal in the back about the SJR8 where we are
trying to find ways to make homes more affordable. When we immediately tell a family that they
have to pay an extra $2,000 right up front, we kind of just know that we are going to have to help
these young families get in these homes. So, we are asking for a little bit of help on that end of
things so that we can let these young families have the same dream that we have.
Dr. Jones stated that she does recall the application coming through and the discussion about the
alleys and so forth. Her question is, were you aware of the requirements for the cash-in-lieu
payment? Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Llewellyn stated yes. They questioned its validity
somewhat because if you read the Code, it does tell you that there are certain square footages.
There is one section in the Code that reduces the Active Recreation Area requirement to 75 SF
per unit. In our back yards, the two smaller ones are 850 SF and the 1,320 SF for the ones on the
ends. So there is plenty of opportunity for a family to decide if they want a sandbox, a swing set
or whatever they would like for their young family. We just prefer that they be able to do it in
their own backyard, not fund it elsewhere in town.
Mr. Witham asked expense-wise, is if more expensive to put in the sprinkler system than it is to
designate an alley on the lots? Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Llewellyn stated yes,
significantly. They did get some good help from Mr. Jason Lyon in a different way to do the
water line but it’s still substantially more than just paving an alley.
Mr. Witham asked if the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee has
submitted their Report to us, correct? Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated
that she basically verbally gave that to you. They do not issue a Report specifically beyond just
Meeting Minutes. Their motion was to recommend the waiver of that Cash-in-lieu payment
down to an amount of $1,000 in total which is basically $250 per lot. Those monies are paid to
the City of Dover and go to the Park Land Reserve Fund.
Mr. Witham stated that he takes it that that verbal report that was given to the Commissioners
tonight is suitable for our purposes of a public record. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Melson-
Williams stated that yes, it would be.
Mrs. Denney moved to approve C-25-01 Lands of 4BL, LLC: Cecil Street Townhomes at 207 N
West Street to accept a Cash-in-lieu payment of $1,000 which is $250 per lot, in light of the fact
that this is a good project for that particular area and the developer/builder is working hard to
meet all of our requirements and it is very costly to bring that new water line in there. She thinks
it is a good idea for us to meet them halfway and help them with this fee, seconded by Mr. Lewis

and the motion as carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Baldwin absent. Mrs. Denney voting yes;
she thinks that this reduction for the fee is a good idea in light of the fact that they are trying to
meet us halfway. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; in light of the backyard space available for the home
owners and the close proximity of the parks and recreational activities that $250 per unit is
sufficient. Mr. Roach voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Dr. Jones stated yes; based upon
the recommendation from the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee. Mrs.
Welsh voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Reaves voting yes; for reasons previously
stated. Mr. Lewis voting yes; he is on the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement
Committee as well that decided this and at that time it seemed like a reasonable compromise and
it still does. Mr. Witham voting yes; for reasons set forth in the record and also based upon the
Report that we received from the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee. It
appears to be a good project and a good adjustment for what you are trying to do.
Pending Development Application:
SB-25-02 Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision):
Conceptual Subdivision Plan - Public Hearing and Continued Review of a Conceptual
Subdivision Plan to create five (5) lots and one residual lot from 2 existing parcels totaling
4.5754 acres to be known as Ekaman Subdivision. The proposed subdivision is to consist of five
residential lots with the residual for stormwater management area. The proposal includes the
extension and addition of a cul-de-sac to the existing street right-of-way of Jefferson Terrace.
The larger parcel is zoned R-10 (One Family Residence Zone), and the additional parcel is zoned
R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) with both being located south of but not adjacent to Wyoming
Avenue and west of Monroe Terrace. Property Address: unaddressed on Jefferson Terrace
extension (part of which is referenced as 3.8904 acres of Wyoming Avenue Rear). Property
Owners: Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC. Tax Parcels: ED-05-077.17-06-02.01-
000 & ED-05-077.17-06-13.00-000. Council District 2. Waiver Requested: Percentage of Lots
on a cul-de-sac. The Planning Commission deferred action for SB-25-02 on September 15, 2025
seeking additional information. This property was reviewed in 2013-2015 as SB-13-06 Jefferson
Terrace Subdivision; however, the plan was never finalized. Application for Conceptual
Subdivision Plan SB-23-01C was conditionally approved by the Planning Commission in March
2023; previous waiver requests were unsuccessful, and the plan expired. The properties were
examined again under Conceptual Subdivision Plan SB-24-01 and were denied by the Planning
Commission on August 19, 2024.
Representative: Mr. Troy Adams, Mountain Consulting; Mr. Emmanuel Ehize of Wyoming,
LLC
Mr. Witham stated that he is looking for a motion from the Commissioners to lift this application
from the table since it was postponed and to continue with this public hearing and review.
Mrs. Maucher moved to lift this application from the table and continue with a public hearing
and review, seconded by Mrs. Denney and the motion as carried 8-0 by voice vote with Mr.
Baldwin absent.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 18, 2026
Item 1.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this application is SB-25-02. It is a Conceptual Subdivision
Plan. The lands are held in two ownership entities: Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional
Properties, LLC. We also refer to it as the Ekaman Subdivision. It is a Subdivision Plan and it
involves the large property in the center of the screen that has the R-10 (One Family Residence
Zone) on it as well as an adjacent property to the north and east. This property has frontage on
both Monroe Terrace and also on the right-of-way from Jefferson Terrace. Those two streets
create that cross type format of street network shown in the center of the screen. Jefferson
Terrace to the west of Monroe Terrace is currently not improved to City street standards. The
right of way exists; however, there is a part of some pavement there at that intersection and it
turns into gravel and then into unpaved surface. This proposed Conceptual Subdivision Plan is a
plan to create a series of five lots and then the residual land area. The next image includes
information on creating Jefferson Terrace to the west of Monroe Terrace and with that
terminating in a cul-de-sac. The lots for development of individual single family homes would be
along this extension of Jefferson Terrace and around the cul-de-sac area. The residual land is the
lower portion of the image here, that is to remain as open space. It includes what is a water way
that cuts through it where there are areas of wetland and floodplain areas that by the City’s
Zoning Ordinance would not be allowed to be developed. This project does not involve
development in those areas. The property for the larger parcel is zoned R-10 (One Family
Residence Zone) and the additional parcel that is on the north side of Jefferson Terrace is zoned
R-8 (One Family Residence Zone). The uses in those two zones are the same; the difference is
really the minimum lot size in each of those zones. With the project, they are seeking a
recommendation this evening in regards to a Subdivision Waiver. The City’s Land Subdivision
Regulations include a requirement related to the percentage of lots on the cul-de-sac. It limits
that percentage to 20%. In this case, the property layout basically is a cul-de-sac so pretty much
and four of the five of the residential lots proposed for development have frontage on that cul-de-
sac area. While they meet the lot width requirements, the sheer percentage number anything
greater than 1 and they would have to be asking for that Subdivision Waiver. This project, as
noted, began review back in September 2025. At that time, the Development Advisory
Committee reviewed the submission and has provided the Report with comments. The Planning
Office kicks off that Report by going through all of the lot size requirements which they are
meeting. With a Conceptual Subdivision Plan, this is an initial look at the layout of the project.
Should it move forward, it will have to return with a little bit more of a detailed plan for their
project as part of a Preliminary Subdivision Plan review process. With the extension of Jefferson
Terrace as a public street noting that the right-of-way does exist, the street will have to be built
by City street standards which include certain types of paving section, upright curbing as well as
sidewalks on both sides of the street. This project is in this Concept Plan and showing those
elements in this point in time. There are some standards for infill development. This is what that
would be because it is totally surrounded by development. There are some landscaping
requirements and some features of the individual buildings that will have to be met for those
infill standards as well as providing sidewalks is one of those infill standard items. She noted that
this property has some areas that are in the Special Flood Hazard Area that is the 1% annual
chance flood or 100-Year Flood Plain. They are to remain as natural open space. They can be
utilized for things related to stormwater management but they are not on individual lots. The
southern property line of two of the parcels stays out of the Flood Hazard Area leaving it on the
residual lot that is designed as part of this project. Likewise, there are certain wetland areas that
are identified. The City’s Code has a buffering requirement from those wetland areas where a
5

Página 9
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 18, 2026
Item 1.
riparian buffer is to be established. That can be done by leaving those areas in their needed
vegetative or treed state. Additionally, there are tree planting requirements so the individual lots
can retain existing trees on them but there are some minimum tree planting that will be in more
detail should this project move forward and also any Active Recreation Area requirements would
be looked at during a Preliminary Subdivision Plan review process. The Planning Office
provided comments. They recognize that this project creates really a total of six lots out of the
two existing parcels that it starts with. Five of those are proposed for residential lots where one
house would be located on each lot. The Planning Commission will need to make a
recommendation on the Subdivision Waiver request about that increased number of lots on the
turnaround portion of the cul-de-sac. Planning Staff notes that given the configuration of the land
mass we are starting with, it really doesn’t allow for any other scenario other than creating a cul-
de-sac because of the surrounding development. The Development Advisory Committee Report
includes more detailed comments from the Department of Public Works, the Department of
Water/Wastewater as all of these lots will need to be connected to City water and sewer.
Likewise, there are comments from the City’s Electric Department and from the Fire Marshal’s
Office. The Fire Marshal will be looking carefully at the cul-de-sac and the details of its sizing as
well as fire hydrant placement. DelDOT has provided comments; however, these are not
DelDOT or State maintained roadways so what they have to do with DelDOT may be somewhat
limited. Stormwater management very specifically, will be reviewed by the Kent Conservation
District and is subject to compliance with the Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Management
Regulations. There will be much greater detail about how that will be resolved for this property
as things move forward. The Kent Conservation District is well aware of the challenges in this
watershed area and will be working with the applicant to ensure that their water goes where is
needs to and does not cause anything different than what already may happen today in that area.
She does want to note that there is a letter that the Kent Conservation District has included
specifically as part of the packet regarding this application. Additionally, the Planning Staff
included the excerpt of the Meeting Minutes from that September 15th meeting and then they
have also included a letter dated March 16, 2026 related to the Woodbrook Development
Drainage Improvement Project. It was written by Davis, Bowen and Friedel who was providing
consultant services to the City regarding that drainage improvement project. That was one of the
reasons why the Planning Commission back in September tabled this application as they wanted
to learn more about that drainage improvement project that was underway at the time. She is
going to refer to Mr. Jason Lyon as he is an engineer with the City and he can enlighten us a little
bit about the Woodbrook Development Drainage Improvement Project; where it stands and how
it is related or not related to what is before you this evening.
Mr. Lyon stated that as Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned, the City of Dover is entertaining a
project where in concert with Bond Bill money to assist with drainage concerns in the
Woodbrook area. This is northwest of the project that is proposed this evening and the extent of
the study starts in the west in this (Woodbrook) development. There is an active swale that bi-
sects the property. The image on the screen shows the squiggly lines on the properties. There are
also culverts with catch basins in the road and so our engineering team was tasked with
eliminating flooding in the roads. The next image shows the span to east. In the middle of the
page you will see a stormwater pond that is there along with the swale that is going to the west
and then again going through Westview Terrace. There are stormwater pipes that go under the
ground and then discharge eventually to the swale that you see on the right of that drawing and
6

Página 10
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 18, 2026
Item 1.
then eventually to the pond that borders Lynnhaven Drive to the south. The task of the engineer
was to eliminate what they call flash flooding and so the project does not increase capacity, it
just allows the water to go quicker. If you think about a bath tub that doesn’t drain very quickly,
what you do is make the orifice bigger and water drains quicker. When water drains quicker, it
gets to the spot that is needs to go faster instead of having stagnant water, potential mosquitos
and all of the other things that we link with stagnant water. The proposed plan is to increase the
catch basin size in both Westview Terrace and Woodbrook Drive as well as clean out the
vegetation growth in the swale and dip out about two feet from that pond to allow the water to
move quicker through that system. He will reiterate that this is not allowing more capacity. This
is nothing to do with the proposed subdivision. That was not taking into account with this study,
this is existing conditions.
Mrs. Denney stated that she used to manage the Town of Camden. We had very similar issues
and of course that 100 Year Flood Plain always sounds intimidating to the community any time
you have to talk about it. But, you kind of solidified what she has been thinking just as she has
really been studying this because when we heard this in September, there was a huge issue
brought up by the community of fear of like the unknown and the already existing. At that time,
she felt very strongly just because of her history, that the community doesn’t realize it but the
best thing that could happen is the development because then the Kent Conservation District is
going to get in there and do their job and so the problems that they already have may even go
away. If you don’t do this and you don’t fully understand it, that fear is a reality especially if
you’ve had a flooded basement or any of those things. Other than dredging the pond a little bit
and increasing the size of the stormwater drains, then this should resolve itself with those two
things happening, correct? Responding to Mrs. Denney, Mr. Lyon stated that it will increase the
flow quicker. The same volume of rain is still going to get provided through this system, it is just
going to go a little faster.
Mrs. Denney stated that it will go a little faster and the pond will be dredged so there will be a
little more room in the pond to accept the extra runoff. Responding to Mrs. Denney, Mr. Lyon
stated correct, but the swale it not getting bigger. We are not getting a bigger cross section, and
we are not increasing the pipe size. We are just increasing the inlet size to allow more water to
get off of the road quicker.
Mrs. Denney stated that from an engineering standpoint, obviously any time you plan a house on
a field it takes up space where water goes; we all understand that. But, there is still going to be
plenty of impervious soil as far as she can tell on these lots for appropriate drainage, or should
be. This is the beginning of what is a few more meetings and a lot more reviewing. Responding
to Mrs. Denney, Mr. Lyon stated correct. As Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned earlier in her
opening statement, the Kent Conservation District has the authority and the jurisdiction of
reviewing the stormwater improvements which is best management practices. Usually ponds or
some sort of potential infiltration if feasible, all of that will be worked out throughout the project.
And again, as Mrs. Melson-Williams stated and he will echo again, the Kent Conservation
District does not allow development to occur that pushes more water in the post-development
than the pre-development.

Item 1.
Mrs. Maucher stated that the project with the swale is going to go forward regardless of what
happens with this project. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Lyon stated yes, this project was
part of the states Bond Bill money for design and they will be budgeting for this construction
phasing on an out year. Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned earlier that the budget hearings start
tomorrow night. This is an out-year project so in other words, it is not next fiscal year but a
future fiscal year. Regardless of this project, the subdivision construction project will be
budgeted for and constructed.
Mrs. Maucher stated to clarify; the City will be responsible for the cost of that project.
Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Lyon stated that potentially. They look at every revenue
source; so if you know of anything, we are all ears.
Mrs. Maucher stated that if this development has to have stormwater, is there an HOA that would
be required to fund the stormwater management portion? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs.
Melson-Williams stated that residential subdivisions are required to have a Homeowners
Association or some type of management entity when they hold common land and she believes
that the residual land would make that a requirement. Their stormwater practices for this
development would likely be first funded with the developer and then longer term maintenance
would be with that Homeowners Association or other maintenance association.
Mr. Witham stated that we don’t have a definite timeline for this improvement to this area,
correct? Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Lyon stated that unfortunately, all he can tell them is
that it will not be funded between July 1, 2026 and June 30, 2027.
Mr. Ehize stated that he is the owner of this vacant lot that is under discussion tonight. He
appreciates the opportunity to speak directly. He wants to begin by acknowledging because of
the concerns that have been raised, he understands that change in any neighborhood can bring
questions, caution, and even hesitation. This is your community and your voice matters; he
understands that fully. However, he also wants to share the purpose and intention behind this
project because he believes that it is a misunderstanding that deserves to be addressed. This lot,
as it currently stands is vacant and unused. It contributes no housing and no economic activity
and no community benefit. Over time vacant properties often become liabilities and can lower
property values and create safety concerns. To give you a sense of his commitment, maintaining
this property costs him about $3,000 every year since 2020 when he got this property. Under the
advice of his engineers, he spent $50,000 in 2024 to clear the waterways. That, again is
commitment. This proposal is not about introducing a threat to the neighborhood. It is about
removing the problem and replacing it with value. As it was mentioned in this independent
study, that the proposed development would not affect already existing infrastructure, it would
make it more efficient. The project consists of single family homes and is designed to bring
measureable benefits to this community, including improved safety for active use of the
property, increasing property values for surrounding homeowners, beautification of the utilized
space and responsible investment long term for the neighborhood and above all, additional taxes
to the City of Dover. This project is designed to strengthen this community. He understands that
concerns about change are to come from a place of wanting to protect what already exists, but we
must also consider what happens when nothing changes. Change is part of progress in society
and we have to walk together to proceed responsibly. A strong community is one that evaluates

development based on parts, responsibility, and long term. He is confident that this proposal
meets that standard. He is fully committed to ensuring that this project is completed correctly,
safely and in full compliance with all applicable regulations. He is also open to continued
dialogue to ensure the outcome aligns with the community values and expectations. To reiterate,
it will all be single family homes. This is not his first project in this community. What he is
asking for tonight is not a final approval. He is asking for a fair and rational evaluation of what is
being proposed based on what currently exists. He believes that this project can become
something that this community will be proud of and he is willing to work with all stakeholders to
ensure that outcome.
Mr. Adams stated that he thinks everything has been explained very well by the presentation
from Mrs. Melson-Williams and Mr. Ehize. He doesn’t think there is much that he can really add
but he wants to reiterate that the major concern the last time that we were here. He thinks the
vote was 5-2: five people wanted more information and two people were willing to move
forward at that time in September. He thinks the intent has been satisfied to provide the extra
information that was desired.
Mr. Witham asked the applicant to explain more about his request with respect to the cul-de-sac.
Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Adams stated that there is a regulation where only 20% of the
lots can be on a cul-de-sac. Given the way this property is shaped, in order to get through the
properties on both sides, we are creating a road. There is a paper road kind of there but we are
creating a real road here. By the time you get to our land that is developable, you have to
immediately create a cul-de-sac. So with that, pretty much all of the developable lots that a house
would be placed on, touch the cul-de-sac. So four lots out of the total six lots which he thinks is
about 66-67% which greater than 20%. So to make this more of a viable situation for Mr. Ehize,
we have to request a waiver from that requirement to get a count.
Mr. Witham asked if he has considered the parking issue that will be created by virtue of that
cul-de-sac. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Adams stated that the road will be wide enough to at
least have parking on one side. He thinks parking is not allowed in a cul-de-sac anyway.
Mr. Witham asked if the parking will be on the lots themselves. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr.
Adams stated yes, each lot will have a driveway.
Mrs. Maucher stated that was one of her concerns as well. From what she read, the access road
will be 24 feet wide and it would prohibit parking on either side of the road. Responding to Mrs.
Maucher, Mr. Adams asked Mrs. Melson-Williams to confirm if parking could be on at least one
side of the road if it was 24 feet wide.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that 24 feet wide is the minimum. If you wish to have parking on
one side, she thinks that you add 6 feet to that.
Mr. Adams stated that whatever he has on the plan as width is what he needs to successfully
build a road through here. Right-of-way to right-of-way, he has 36 feet. But he thinks that the
most important piece here is that each lot will have a driveway. Most houses also have a garage

Item 1.
typically. So, if there is anybody who is parking on the street, they are probably already parking
there now if you get what he means. He doesn’t think parking is a big issue.
Mrs. Maucher stated that in the Report it states that the applicant has stated that the paved width
of the street will be 24 feet which does not allow for on-street parking and parking would be
prohibited in a cul-de-sac. If someone was to have a family gathering or party or something, it
would be forcing people to park down on Monroe Terrace. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr.
Adams stated that if they have to park on Monroe Terrace, fine but this is like any other
community in a regular subdivision like everybody else lives in. He doesn’t see that being a
major concern by his estimation.
Mr. Reaves stated that there was a good question raised about visitors to the houses in the cul-de-
sac. He believes the reason why we have the percentage limit is so that we could be able to
navigate that cul-de-sac. His question is with the parking that you said that each house has a
driveway. How many vehicles is that driveway going to fit for each house? Responding to Mr.
Reaves, Mr. Adams stated that these lots are 0.47 acres, 0.27 acres, 0.46 acres, 0.62 acres, and
0.44 acres. These are large in town lots. These are just as large as a subdivision in the country.
We have a standard driveway depending on where the houses are sitting on the lot, which is yet
to be determined. They could be very long driveways. We have the proper width driveway that is
at least two cars deep. You could probably get at least four cars in a driveway if not more,
depending on how the house is set in there. For the cul-de-sac, its dimensions are per City of
Dover regulations so everything is normal there. He thinks these lots are large enough to figure it
out if there is a larger event, but how often will that happen?
Mr. Witham stated that he would agree that the plan itself shows the street width at 36 feet but
not in the cul-de-sac. But Mrs. Maucher’s comment about the Report under Item #6 states that
the applicant states that the width of the street will be 24 feet which does not allow for on-street
parking. Parking would be prohibited within the cul-de-sac. Is that inaccurate? Responding to
Mr. Witham, Mr. Adams stated no, he doesn’t think that is inaccurate. What he failed to have on
(the plan) here is the dimension from back of curb to back of curb to verify the 24 feet.
Mr. Witham stated that perhaps you will have to revise that. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr.
Adams stated that he can tell you now, what he has on here works. If we start widening too
much, then that creates other issues.
Mrs. Denney stated that this is so preliminary at this stage as we are looking at this. When we
truly get into the design and the engineers and the Planning Department take a look at this and
say “okay, this doesn’t work” or this is a private road and there will be restrictions that have to
be met. In the event that they don’t meet them, then it’s back to the drawing board. This is not
the finality; we have a key to the gate. Yes, this looks like a plan and it looks like it fits but this is
the first step. We unlock the gate and then they have a whole bunch more to go through to meet a
whole lot more requirements. They have to meet requirements for so many parking spaces per
bedroom on the property, etc. It could go further than us and find that there is a problem, but
overall, does this look good? She is not crazy about a 24 foot width road and she happens to live
on State Street which is nice and wide and they don’t have a driveway. If she has a party or a
graduation or even a Sunday dinner now that the kids are all home and bring their friends, there

are both sides of State Street lined up with cars. But as neighbors, we all understand that because
of all of these years that we have been living together. But again, you have a lot more to go
through in design and at any point someone can say this isn’t wide enough and the lots are going
to be shorter.
Mr. Witham stated that this is a hearing on the Conceptual Subdivision Plan; it is the first of at
least three hearings so he understands that. The Commissioners are simply pointing out things
that they need to talk about. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Adams stated that they hear it very
clearly.
Mr. Witham opened the public hearing.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that there are a number of sets of public comments that they
received in writing. Specifically, Set 1 which was from September 2025, then Sets 2, 3, and 4.
Some of them were part of the Planning Commission’s packet distribution and others have come
out in recent days and Set 4 is from this afternoon. She expects that we will hear from some of
the individuals that have provided written comments. We will do the public hearing portion for
those that may be present or online and then she will specifically enter all of those public
comments into the record formally.
Mr. Steven LeBoon – 1025 Westview Terrace Dover, DE 19901
Mr. LeBoon stated that he wants to thank the Commission for last September for granting the
continuance because he did receive the Survey Report from Davis, Bowen & Friedel and it was
extraordinary. As Mr. Lyon has articulated, the water will push. One thing that he wants to
highlight is that the Report is comprised of 160 pages and every page is intriguing. The water is
definitely extraordinary in our area. The impervious coverage came up with the conclusion of 38
and Mr. Lyon can validate. If he is correct, the City is capped at 33 so our neighborhood cannot
sustain anymore building. He had emailed Mrs. Melson-Williams the sign in sheet that
comprises 19 residents in opposition and it’s in the record along with various letters from Mr.
Dan Beaker, Mr. Lees and himself. He thinks it’s pretty extraordinary how he (applicant) doesn’t
explain this. This image shows his entrance to his undeveloped land that has been vacant for
200+ years. It has been undeveloped because it’s in a flood plain. If you look very closely at
where my door is, how is he going to put a road in there? Where are the sidewalks? He wants to
remind this Commission, Council already denied this application because of no sidewalks. They
were trying to get a variance. He doesn’t really know how we moved forward without addressing
the sidewalks. In fact, the previous owner when he bought the recycled plans from the
MacLeish’s, they couldn’t move forward to stage 2. Mr. Ehize acquired the property a couple of
years ago at a discounted price from $300,000 to $72,000. One of the things that he wants to
share for the record is that his wife who is also going to speak to help this gentleman on how to
sell this property in a flooded area. The image shown is his old house with an illegal two story
garage that was put here illegally. Thankfully the Planning Department where he used to live up
north eventually got rid of it. It shows the standing water from less than a quarter inch of rain;
that is reality. That is why he wanted to explain why he has been so adamant for 10+ years of
why this application needs to be denied. This has been ongoing for 14 years. He is asking the
Commission to squash this. If you don’t want to squash it based on the fact that he has no access.
He purchased an undeveloped property with no access to even build properly. There are no

Item 1.
sidewalks. Council has already denied it. Or you can combine two of them and deny him for the
flooding which he has clearly articulated over and over along with all of the Ordinances that
protect the residents. You cannot deviate from them. He just wanted to share with the
Commission the reality. He cannot build because there is no sidewalk or even an adequate road
to go into the entrance of his property. It is really truly extraordinary that he purchased this. With
that being said, he has submitted a lot of stuff and he knows his fellow neighbors have all signed
the petition. He is asking the Commission to deny it based on the landlock. If you can’t get past
the entrance of a two lane road with no sidewalks and Council has already denied this
application, what is the point in even being here again?
Mr. Luke Siler – 330 Wyoming Avenue Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Siler stated that he is a neighbor and is located adjacent to the property. He wants to reiterate
that there is from a visual and from just walking in the neighborhood, it does just look very
difficult to make an appropriate entrance. He just worries about how that could impact the
community. If these things can be addressed, he is definitely open to that. They love having
neighbors and we want to have good neighbors but they do just hope. They are encouraged by
your interest and the care of the Commissioners and them wanting to address the logistics and
the properness of this development if it were to go forward.
Mrs. Cassandra LeBoon (virtual) – 1025 Westview Terrace Dover, DE 19901
Mrs. LeBoon stated that she first wants to thank the Planning Commission for continuing this
matter previously so that the engineering reports could be completed. Those reports confirmed
many of the concerns that residents have been raising for years regarding flooding, drainage, and
infrastructure limitations in this area. It is also a concern that the project wants to go forward
before any of the infrastructure work that Mr. Lyon referenced is completed. Her first concern is
that the applicant’s own modeling shows the drainage system is already operating near capacity.
(Note: The applicant of SB-25-0 did not complete the drainage study being referenced. This is
the Woodbrook Drainage Improvement Study completed by a consultant for the City of Dover.)
The Report documents surcharge conditions, submerged structures, and crossing that are close to
full hydraulic limits. Residents already experience flooding concerns and these findings show the
system is already under stress before additional development is added. Second, the Report shows
that there is almost no meaningful reduction in peak stormwater flow. The modeled inflow and
outflow are essentially identical which suggests that the system is functioning mostly as a
conveyance system rather than significantly reducing downstream runoff. This is very
concerning with the downstream infrastructure is already strained. Third, there are major
roadway and safety concerns. Residents remain concerned that there is not enough room for safe
two way traffic, parking, sidewalks, and proper emergency vehicle access. These access concerns
have existed for years and were part of previous denials and variance issues involving this
property. Additionally, the property seeking development sits above the residences on Westview
Terrace which means at any downflow would come onto Westview Terrace. Fourth, this
proposal has been brought before City and related areas many times over the years and the same
fundamental issues continue to remain unresolved: flooding, drainage, access, infrastructure,
limitations, and development feasibility. Residents continue to spend substantial time and
resources responding to repeated applications involving substantially similar concerns. Also,
many residents were told during the purchase of their own homes, that there would never be any
building behind them in the field. They were told this by their real estate agents. Finally, she
12
15
Página 16
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 18, 2026
Item 1.
would like to ask the Commission to seriously consider preservation of this corridor as protected
open space instead of additional residential development. This land already serves as important
natural drainage and a stormwater absorption function within the watershed. Preserving it as
open space would help reduce flooding risk, protect nearby homes, preserve natural drainage
flow paths, and avoid major infrastructure costs. The area also supports local wildlife and natural
habitat that would be permanently impacted by dense population development. In addition,
Dover already has limited remaining green space, especially within the established residential
areas. Once open land like this is developed, it is gone permanently. Preserving this corridor
would help protect one of the few remaining natural green spaces in this part of the City while
also supporting environmental stability, wildlife habitats and the overall quality of life for
surrounding residents. For all of these reasons, she respectfully asks the Planning Commission to
make a motion to deny the application with prejudice. As a final note, she would like to mention
that the owner has either been unwilling or unable to maintain the property including cutting the
grass and making sure that the field is in proper condition. We as residents are highly skeptical
that the surrounding development which includes her neighborhood, would not be taken care of
or will be taken care of properly. With that all of their ascertains and their saying that they
believe that this is how it’s going to be, that they are just saying that to get this through and they
have no intention on following through.
Ms. Heather Mund, POA and Trustee for Robert Engles – 420 Wyoming Ave Dover, DE
19901
Ms. Mund stated that she is representing the corner property at 420 Wyoming Avenue that
corners Westview Terrace. She wants to start by saying that it has been very difficult to hear
most of this, but she did hear what Mrs. LeBoon said and she echoes entirely what she said. As it
was told to them at the time of purchase of the property, the land was zoned for farmland and/or
horses and at the time, there were horses there. They were concerned only because we didn’t
know what would be going on with that property before we moved in. After we moved in, there
were issues with proper drainage and it was causing water intrusion and things. They had serious
problems. She is really concerned about what they are evaluating and what they are able to say
that they think they can handle this when without this work being added on. It’s already been a
problem in that area. She doesn’t know how this property can withstand it.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she wants to enter the various comments into the record.
Beginning with Public Comment Set #1, these were comments received through September 15,
2025 at noon. They were made part of the packet but she will summarize. First, was an email
from Steve LeBoon of 1025 Westview Terrace and it also had attachments to it. Email #2 was an
email from Joan Sipple of 1139 Westview Terrace received on September 6, 2025. And
completing that set was Item #3 which was a letter of support from Mike Glick, property owner
of 850 New Burton Road that was received on September 15, 2025. Public Comment Set #2
dates to May 8, 2026 at noon and it was those items received by the time of packet distribution.
The item there is an email from Steve LeBoon that we received on May 7, 2026. It includes a
letter of opposition of the same date and it had a photo link which she believes Mr. LeBoon
showed this evening and then a couple of video links of flooding activity examples in the area.
Public Comment Set #3, also of May 2026. These were comments received through May 15,
2026 at 3PM. These were distributed to the Planning Commission electronically after the receipt
and this consists of a series of five items. The first being an email from Dan and Joy Bieker of
13

Item 1.
1033 Westview Terrace received on May 8, 2026. The next item was an email received on May
9, 2026 at 11:27AM that included a screenshot of Davee Lees comments on the project. Email #3
was also from Steve LeBoon received on May 9, 2026. It had two attachments, the original letter
of opposition that he sent on May 7, 2026 and then a letter specifically talking about
opportunities for open space dated May 9, 2026. Email #4 is again from Joan Sipple of 1139
Westview Terrace received on May 12, 2026. Email #5 is also from Steven LeBoon dated May
14, 2026 and it was in response to him receiving information from FOIA Request #2026-186:
Drainage Improvement Engineering Support for Woodbrook Development with attachments.
Attached to this email was a copy of letter of March 16, 2026 from Davis, Bowen & Friedel, Inc.
to the City of Dover Department of Water & Wastewater. That letter was already part of the
Commission’s packet and then Mr. LeBoon also attached the Reports on HydroCAD Modeling
associated with the existing conditions as prepared by Davis, Bowen & Friedel, Inc. and also the
proposed conditions of areas. Both of those are in total, 160 pages of engineering information
and evaluation related to the Woodbrook Drainage Improvement Study. The full document is on
file in the City’s Planning Office and the City’s Department of Water/Wastewater and
Engineering Services for those two HydroCAD Modeling runs. The last set of Public Comments
is labeled as Set #4 also dated May 2026 and these were received through 1PM today: so, they
are emails that were received over the weekend. The first item is an email from Steve LeBoon of
1025 Westview Terrace received on May 17, 2026 and it included the attachment Petition of
Opposition (listing 16 properties with signatures). Email #2 appears that it is the same email
other than the distribution included additional individuals, but it includes the attachment of the
Petition of Opposition. Email #3 also from Steve LeBoon received at 1:26PM this afternoon, was
again, that Petition of Opposition but it included an additional signature for the people who
reside at 135 Crescent Drive. Set #4 was provided to the Commissioners on their desks this
evening.
Mr. Witham closed the public hearing.
Mr. Witham asked if the Planning Commission does not act on the waiver, would it also still be
considered by City Council. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that
regarding a Subdivision Waiver, the Land Subdivision Regulations suggest that the Planning
Commission makes a recommendation and then City Council has final action on that. If the
application were to move forward and you were not to act upon the waiver, we would have to
report that to City Council. Otherwise, the plan would have to comply with the Code regarding
the percentage of lots on the cul-de-sac.
Mr. Lewis asked if we could move forward without acting on the waiver. Responding to Mr.
Lewis, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that you could; but it probably is in the best interest of the
application and she would refer to the City Solicitor, that you would take some action in regards
to that specific request.
Mr. Griffith stated yes, if there is an application pending, there should be some action taken on
the application whether it’s recommended in favor or recommend against. Or you can be more
creative and recommend that you take no official action. It would not be of any aid to the
applicant or City Council and would pretty much obviate the need for Planning Commission if
you take no action.

Item 1.
Mr. Lewis stated that he is trying to say that he voted to move forward in September. He was one
of the two to move forward in September. Now I’m looking at a Report that says the proposed
Lots 1-5 are outside the Flood Hazard Area and that if it gets to the second step then the Kent
Conservation District is going to make them do their stormwater management plan after that. but
it’s dependent on our vote tonight. Is that correct? Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Witham stated
yes, that’s correct.
Mrs. Denney stated that her understanding of this and she was retired for a little bit before she
took this position, but she doesn’t think it’s changed much. If they open the gate then this will
definitely as they move forward, go through all of the necessary reviews up and down the line
with Kent Conservation District being a major one. As you might imagine, they are always
backed up and it has to go through certain steps before they will address it just like DelDOT;
they don’t want to hear from you until you are actually putting the blueprint in the machine kind
of deal. Responding to Mrs. Denney, Mr. Witham stated that he thinks she is correct. This is just
a hearing on the Conceptual Subdivision Plan. It will have to go for a full review process. The
next step will be a preliminary review of the Subdivision Plan itself and then a final review. The
only exception that is before us is the Request for a Waiver on the cul-de-sac. Otherwise, there is
no objection to the DAC comments at all; so, he believes that the applicant would have to
comply with the DAC comments as well if we move forward.
Mr. Lewis moved to approve SB-25-02 Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC
(Ekaman Subdivision) Conceptual Subdivision Plan to include approval of the waiver with the
percentage of the lots in a cul-de-sac, seconded by Mrs. Denney and the motion was carried 6-2
with Mr. Baldwin absent. Mr. Lewis voting yes; this is step 1 of at least 3 and given the fact that
he wanted to move forward in September and now that they have some more information which
would seem to indicate that as of right now, Lots 1-5 are outside of the Flood Hazard Area. Mr.
Roach voting yes; for reasons previously stated. He just feels as though it is beneficial and like
he has said before, when it comes down to the application presented, whether we have road
blocks or not, he feels as though this would be beneficial to the City. Mrs. Denney voting yes; she
feels strongly that based on what we are hearing from Kent Conservation (District) and her little
bit of conversation with Mr. Lyon. She really feels that it is not appropriate for them to say you
can’t do anything on those lots. The road is going to be designed and they will be on a cul-de-
sac. Along time ago, she once got into an issue where they were accused of takings. What were
we going to say; you can’t do anything with those lots forever? She thinks the appropriate thing
to do is approve this motion and allow it to go through all of the next steps and then be voted on
again by what would be the Council. Mrs. Maucher voting no; she is not in support of the waiver
request. Dr. Jones voting yes; for the reasons previously mentioned. Mr. Reaves voting no; based
on the fact of the opposition from the residents in that area and also based on the fact that this
Flood Plain Area goes through extreme flooding. He also votes no based on the percentage of
the dwellings in the cul-de-sac; exceeding that is problematic for our Code and it opens up the
door for exceeding the limits that we have set. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; based on the information
from Davis, Bowen & Friedel, Inc., the letters from Mr. Glick, and the other gentleman in favor
of the positive things that could happen from this development and the information from Mr.
Lyon that was received tonight. Mr. Witham voting yes; stating that this Commission has no
authority to deny any application with prejudice. He votes yes as he thinks this matter is just at
15

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 18, 2026
Item 1.
the preliminary stage. He would raise some questions with respect to the concept itself, but it is
not sufficient to say no to the application itself. He thinks that what he has heard tonight, given
all of the comments that were presented by Mr. Lyon, this Conceptual Plan should go forward
for further review and with respect to the waiver, he votes no because he is not satisfied that the
applicant has met requirements.
NEW APPLICATIONS
C-26-03 Little Caboose Child Care - Public Hearing and Review of Conditional Use Site Plan
Application for construction of a 9,417 SF Child Day Care Center to be known Little Caboose
Child Care and Learning Center and associated site improvements. The property is 2.259+/-
acres of land located in the Enterprise Business Park. The property is currently zoned IPM
(Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone). The property owner is Atlantic Dawn Properties of Dover
LLC. Address: 229 Beiser Blvd. Tax Parcel: ED05-076.15-01-03.08-000. Council District 2.
Representative: Ms. Kimberly Bryda, The Little Caboose; Mr. Julian Pellegrini; Pelsa
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that C-26-03 is a Conditional Use Site Development Plan. It is for
The Little Caboose Childcare and Learning Center to be located at 229 Beiser Boulevard. Their
plan image shows a tract of land on the west side of Beiser Boulevard at the eastern portion of
Beiser Boulevard. The individual lot that we are dealing with is 2.259+/- acres. It is currently
zoned IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone); however, the City’s Zoning Ordinance places
child daycare facilities in all zones subject to certain review processes. In this case, a child
daycare center, that is one serving more than 13 children, is a Conditional Use before the
Planning Commission. The property that is presented here has a driveway access point which
leads down to the parking area. The building faces that parking lot area and is surrounded by a
fenced area that will be their play facility access. Parking for a child daycare facility is based on
the number of adult attendants and the number of children that they are hoping to serve. The
applicant has verbally indicated to us that they hope to serve 188 children with 40 staff. That
means that 59 parking spaces must be provided and their plan currently shows 61 spaces. As part
of this project, they will be required to provide bicycle parking as well as sidewalk along the
street frontage of the site. The next image gives us a sense of the tree plantings for the property.
They are required to have a total of 33 trees on site. They are using a number of them in the
southern portion of the property to screen the parking lot and their dumpster enclosure which is
down in that area. It is a mix of trees in parking lot islands and then other open areas on the site.
The next image is an exhibit that shows the location of the planned sidewalk. It is shown in red
which would extend sidewalk along the entire frontage of Beiser Boulevard for this parcel and
then also bring a connecting sidewalk from that street frontage location into the site near the
building’s main entrance. With this project, there are no specific waivers that are sought. The
Report does talk about some minor plan fixes. The Planning Office noted the importance of
pedestrian connectivity and they are recommended probably some crosswalk markings where
that sidewalk crosses the drive aisle coming into the site and to make sure that they have the
appropriate locations of the accessible ramps for the location. The Development Advisory
Committee Report continues with the various other agencies providing comments including the
Department of Public Works and the Department of Water/Wastewater. Beiser Boulevard is a
City street so they will be reviewing the entrance design. There were some comments about the
16
19
Página 20
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 18, 2026
Item 1.
width of that entrance that she thinks they are going to be looking at refining. The Electric
Department has provided comments as has the City’s Fire Marshal’s Office. The Fire Marshal’s
Office will be looking at a number of things on the site from a fire protection planning
perspective as well as interior to the building. A child day care center such as this is required to
have a sprinkler system under the adopted Fire Codes for the City. Other agencies providing
comments include DelDOT. They will have to do a preliminary meeting with them because
Beiser Boulevard ultimately leads to a State maintained road, so they want to make sure that
connection is appropriately designed as well. The Kent Conservation District has provided
comments. This property is part of a larger, more regional stormwater facility for the Enterprise
Business Park, so they will be looking at some of the provisions for that. Also, the Dover/Kent
County MPO provided comments. They are encouraged to see the sidewalks and hopefully the
bike rack. They have also noted the proximity of some DART bus stops in the area that may also
serve this location.
Ms. Bryda stated that she is the owner of The Little Caboose Childcare and Learning Center and
for over 21 years, our facility has served the children and families of the greater Newark
community. We are seeking approval to expand to 229 Beiser Boulevard. She is also the
President of the Board of Directors for the Delaware Association for the Education of Young
Children. If you are unfamiliar with our organization, we are the largest advocacy group for early
childhood education in the State of Delaware. We collaborate with community partners and work
with legislators to ensure that we are expanding access to quality affordable childcare options to
Delaware families. It is worth noting that Dover is considered a childcare desert and what that
means is that in Dover there is one childcare slot available for every five children needing care.
The Little Caboose has been designed to have a 9,400 SF building with a projected capacity to
serve 188 children and bring 40 new jobs to the area. We will also have a 14,000 SF playground
that will be broken down into three sections: for an outdoor classroom, a large play area for older
children, and then a small toddler play area. We plan to serve children from 6 weeks up to Pre-K
with before and after care coverages available. We also partner with high school pathways and
institutions of higher learning such as Wilmington University to offer on the job training and
practicum hours. We have support from both the Department of Education and the Office of
Childcare Licensing to expand our operations so they sincerely hope that the Commission sees
the value in this project and that you share our excitement to serve the Dover community as well.
The pictures shown on the screen are actually of our current facility in Newark, DE and that is
what we will be replicating here as well.
Mr. Pellegrini stated that there is not too much to add but they will answer any questions that the
Commission has. This Plan was recorded and approved as a pad site so a lot of the features like
stormwater or traffic concerns like that have already gone through an approval process. We are
merely adhering to that. For instance, the parking lot is being graded to adhere to the existing
catch basins that are collecting water and moving it to the stormwater pond up north.
Mr. Witham asked if they agree with the DAC comments. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr.
Pellegrini stated yes.
Mrs. Maucher asked if they were supportive of the comments from Staff regarding the internal
activity with the crosswalks and internal pedestrian activity. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr.

Pellegrini and Ms. Bryda stated yes.
Mrs. Denney stated that when the parents come in the morning, does whoever brings the child
must get out of the car and bring them inside and hand them off to somebody? There are a couple
of school locally where the parent can pull up and there are teachers or aids on the sidewalk and
they will help the child out of the car and into the building. Will this be a situation where the
parents get out of the car and come into the building? Responding to Mrs. Denney, Ms. Bryda
stated that as they do currently, that would be the expectation that the parents would park their
car, walk their children in, correspond with their teachers and talk about their day and they would
drop their child off.
Mr. Witham opened the public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the
public hearing.
Mrs. Welsh moved to approve C-26-03 Little Caboose Child Care for the daycare center to be
known as the The Little Caboose Child Care and Learning Center, seconded by Mrs. Denney
and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Baldwin absent.
Mrs. Melson-Williams asked if Staff could confirm that the motion maker is also referring to the
DAC comments for this application in your recommendation for approval. Responding to Mrs.
Melson-Williams, Mrs. Welsh stated yes.
Mrs. Welsh moved to approve C-26-03 Little Caboose Child Care for the daycare center to be
known as the The Little Caboose Child Care and Learning Center to include the DAC comments,
seconded by Mrs. Denney and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Baldwin
absent. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; she thinks that it is a great use of the property and she knows
exactly where that is and she thinks it is a good use for that space. Mr. Lewis voting yes; for
reasons previously stated. Mr. Roach voting yes; he feels as though as she said in her
presentation, there is a great need in regards to child care in our city so this is a welcomed
addition. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; based on DAC comments and again, it is a great use of the
property and she is glad to see something going there finally. Mrs. Denney voting yes; she thinks
that it is an excellent project and the leadership there as a company has proven their way and
she also thinks that this is something that is sorely needed in our community and a good one with
outside facilities to play. She thinks it’s an excellent project. Dr. Jones voting yes; for reasons
previously stated. This is very much needed for our little darlings. Mr. Reaves voting yes; for
reasons previously stated. Mr. Witham voting yes; based upon what he heard before the
Commission this evening and based upon the DAC comments. The use is appropriate for the
neighborhood and it will definitely have a good impact for the orderly development of the
surrounding area.
S-26-09 Warehouse Buildings at 118 Galaxy Drive - Public Hearing and Review of Site
Development Plan Application for Lot 13 in the Kent County Industrial Park at 118 Galaxy

associated site improvements. The property is 6.45+/- acres of land located in the Kent County
Industrial Park (AeroPark) located off Horsepond Road. The property is currently zoned IPM
(Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone) and subject to the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone)

– Noise Zone B. The property owner is RAH Realty LLC. Address: 118 Galaxy Drive. Tax
Parcel: ED05-087.00-01-07.13-000. Council District 2. Waiver Request: Elimination of
Sidewalks along Horsepond Road and Galaxy Drive. For Consideration: Performance
Standards Review Application.
Representative: Mr. Ron Sutton, Civil Engineer Associates
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is a Site Development Plan for the property at 118 Galaxy
Drive. That is known as Lot 13 in the Kent County AeroPark. The lot is 6.45+/- acres of land. It
is zoned IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone) and is subject to the AEOZ (Airport
Environs Overlay Zone) – Noise Zone B. They are proposing a series of three buildings but first
here are the existing conditions on the site. The western portion of it is wooded and there are
wetland areas. There is an existing Wireless Telecommunications Facility on the property close
to Galaxy Drive. The project that is proposed is a series of three buildings flanked by parking
and loading zone areas off of the main entrance drive. The property does also have frontage on
Horsepond Road; however, there is no direct access to Horsepond Road. Everything comes in off
of Galaxy Drive which is where the internal streets are at the AeroPark. Their entrance is being
proposed basically at the terminus of Galaxy Drive so they will have to be doing a little bit of
street improvements to the right-of-way there as they create the entry onto their property. As
noted, it is in the IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone) so uses are governed by that and
uses also governed by the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone). These are kind of spec build
for a warehouse where is could be multiple tenants in a building or a single tenant. We will know
in the future but any of those uses have to comply with the Zoning Ordinance provisions. They
are providing parking and that is shown on the site in addition to at least one side of the building
serving as the loading area where there will be opportunity for rollup doors. The property will be
required to have bicycle parking and tonight they do have a Waiver Request related to sidewalks.
They are seeking elimination of sidewalks along both Galaxy Drive and Horsepond Road. Their
request outlines that there are not sidewalks in the immediate vicinity along both of these roads.
She will note that while they are asking for a Waiver of both of those sidewalks, DelDOT
controls the responsibilities related to sidewalks along Horsepond Road. So even if you voted in
approval of such elimination, they would still be subject to review with DelDOT and DelDOT
could say that they need to be installed. With tree planting, they are looking to preserve most of
the woodland onsite. There is some minor clearing and they have additional tree planting
requirements that will be met by other tree planting onsite. The next image on the screen shows
the trees collectively placed in the open space areas and then in some other cleared areas of the
site. To the west of their entrance drive that comes onto the property is a what is going to be
designed as some type of dry stormwater management or limited detection stormwater
management pond area so it is not constantly wet. There is also an opportunity to the west of that
for tree planting areas. Because this is in the IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone) it is
required to present to you the Performance Standards Review. Basically, they have included a
letter statement that goes through all of the objectionable elements and identifies whether their
project would cause any such of those items to occur. The DAC Report continues with the other
agency reviews from the Department of Water/Wastewater, the Fire Marshal’s Office, the
Electric Department, the initial comments from DelDOT, and the Kent Conservation District.
Mr. Sutton stated that Mrs. Melson-Williams really doesn’t give us much opportunity to make

much of a presentation. To talk about the sidewalk waivers, there are no sidewalks out here on
the frontage of Galaxy Drive at all. If you were to look at an aerial image, it doesn’t exist. Same
thing on Horsepond Road, there are not sidewalks. That is why we are requesting the waiver.
When we received DAC comments, they actually came to the DAC Meeting and we actually
revised a lot of our plan to address a lot of the DAC comments. We added the curbing. We added
the sidewalks onsite for clear access along the buildings and along the entrance road. We added
the clear spaces in front of the buildings for the Fire Marshal at the doors. We added the loading
berths, bicycle parking, a T-turnaround at the end for the Fire Marshal, and the requirement by
Kent Conservation District to not have a wet pond. They wanted us to have a dry extended pond
so that we don’t have any waterfowl in the area. We adjusted our parking to meet all of the
parking requirements and removed some landscaping out of this existing drainage easement next
to the newspaper even though they have trees and stuff in that drainage easement as well.
Mr. Lewis stated that he wanted to echo the statements about the sidewalks to not be necessary.
A couple of decades ago, he spent several years at the State News and to say that there is no
pedestrian traffic, is the understatement of the year. So he doesn’t think it’s an issue.
Mr. Witham stated that he has been out there himself on occasion and you are absolutely correct.
Mr. Witham opened a public hearing.
Mr. Zach Prebula – Kent Economic Partnership at 555 Bay Road Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Prebula stated that they are the Economic Development Organization for Kent County so we
focus on business attraction and also businesses looking to expand here. This property is within
what is commonly referred to the East Dover Industrial Area which typically sees a lot of
demand for industrial uses here and gives a lot of opportunity to create jobs. What is important is
to make sure that our supply inventory continues to match that demand so that we continue to
have sites to attract these businesses, help local businesses expand and create jobs here. They ask
the Commission to please support this project.
Mr. Witham closed the public hearing.
Mrs. Maucher moved to approve S-26-09 Warehouse Buildings at 118 Galaxy Drive inclusive of
the sidewalk elimination waiver request and also approval of the Performance Standards Review
Application, seconded by Mr. Lewis and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Mr.
Baldwin absent. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; based on DAC and Staff comments. Dr. Jones voting
yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Reaves voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs.
Welsh voting yes; for reasons stated in the motion. Mr. Lewis voting yes; for reasons previously
stated. Mr. Roach voting yes; for reasons stated in the motion. Mrs. Denney voting yes; she
thinks that this is yet another great project for that area. Mr. Witham voting yes; based on the
DAC comments and Staff comments. It’s appropriate for this particular area for this
development to take place.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 18, 2026
Item 1.
Housing and Land Use Reform program
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is presentation on Senate Joint Resolution 8 (SJR8), which
is the Delaware State Housing Authority’s Technical Assistance Program for Housing and Land
Use Reform. Mrs. Townshend will explain how we got here with the presentation this evening.
Mrs. Townshend stated that in this capacity, she is actually a technical assistance provider being
paid for by the State of Delaware. Basically, Dover is one of nine jurisdictions participating in
the SJR8 process. The agenda that she will go through tonight is that we will talk a little bit about
the background, how we are approaching a process, the Housing Resources Committee, who the
other participating jurisdictions are, get a little bit about how the issues of affordable housing
affect Dover, the chosen reforms, and the next steps. The General Assembly created an
Affordable Housing Task Force and that Task Force included representation from local
governments. Basically, they generated a report and said one of the barriers to affordable housing
is local zoning. Based on that, the Senate introduced and both bodies passed SJR8 which
basically instructed the Delaware State Housing Authority to hire technical assistance providers
to work with municipalities or jurisdictions that voluntarily applied to work on zoning reform.
We keep saying zoning reform, but it’s basically land use reform. We are going to be looking at
process and we are going to be looking at subdivision; zoning is kind of the umbrella. Basically,
Dover is one of the jurisdictions that applied to participate. Our approach started off with a
kickoff meeting with the Delaware State Housing Authority and then a kick off meeting with the
City of Dover. We have built an Excel workbook that we are populating with basically pulling
information out of your Code, looking at the development process, and looking at anything that
could add time or money to developing housing. From that, we will identify barriers to
affordable housing. When the City applied, they identified several strategies that they were
interested in considering so we will match those barriers with appropriate strategies and then we
will have a public meeting. There will be a public workshop soon so that we can get feedback
from the public. Once we get that feedback, we will move into drafting ordinances and again, we
will check in with the Commission and City Council at that point as well. We will draft
Ordinances to include companion sheets on the Ordinances so that they are easier to understand
language. And then we’ll hopefully get through the process of actually having some adopted
changes. This process is anticipated to be about a twelve-month process. We started in March so
we are a couple months in.
The Housing Resources Committee (HRC) is a somewhat of an informal group that meets
monthly with the technical assistance providers and the Delaware State Housing Authority. They
will be helping with the broader statewide outreach on this. They will be bringing perspectives
from their agency. We have a representative from DNREC, DelDOT, Ms. Sarah Keiffer from
Kent County Planning, someone from New Castle County Planning, and someone with a
background in municipal planning; so it is a pretty well rounded group. Basically, every other
month the jurisdictions will also participate where we will have Mr. Lyon, Mrs. Melson-
Williams and other City staff there that are available. We will kind of do some training on a topic
and in that training, the idea would be to come back and relay the information to the
Commission. There are nine jurisdictions participating. There are three technical assistance
providers. She is with Rossi Group and we are working with Newark, Dover, Lewes, and Laurel.
Smart Growth America, which is a national non-profit that does technical assistance but they

also they are one of the research or best practice groups out there. They are working with
Milford, Rehoboth Beach, Georgetown, and Bridgeville. McCormick/Taylor, who Sussex
County used for their Land Use Reform Working Group process, is working with Sussex
County. Three technical assistance providers have already started and they are collaborating on a
regular basis. We are trying to make sure that they are sharing information among ourselves so
that they all have the benefit of consistency for all of the participating jurisdictions. The next
slide shows affordability in Delaware and in Dover. Basically, what these lines show you is in
Delaware and the U.S. around 30% of homeowners are cost burdened. And by cost burdened, we
mean you are exceeding 30% of your gross monthly income for housing and utilities. Renters are
over 50% for cost burdened. What these lines don’t show you is that we are having fewer people
making that transition from renter to homeowner. In 2025, 21% of home purchasers were first
time buyers which are an all-time low. Additionally, the median age of a first time buyer is now
40-41 when it used to be in the 20’s. What we are seeing is that we have people who are in rental
housing who are cost burden, many of them are extremely cost burden and that’s a larger
percentage of our population than it once was. She thinks that we all know, but this is a source
through Zillow that shows us that once we hit 2020, prices went up significantly. It shows that
we are tracking lower than the State and lower than the National, but we are still in that upward
trend for purchase. For rentals, the average rent in Dover is $1,800 a month and the average rent
for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,450 a month. Those numbers don’t connect well, so there’s a
gap. The idea of it is that there is not enough to buy. Certainly, she thinks Dover has done its
part. We have quite a bit of development of apartment construction underway, but if you look
more regionally it is just not there. 53% of households in Dover are renter occupied and 47% are
owner occupied. That is a little higher on renter than many of the other communities. The City
has always had a priority on, in addition to supporting the rental market to , also be working on
homeownership. Some of the strategies that we will look at will support some of that
homeownership as well. Shown on the screen in orange is owner occupied and green is renter
occupied. What you see is that we have a lot of owner occupied single family detached, some
renter or owner occupied attached and then we have the larger apartment complexes. Where you
see that dip in the middle, interestingly enough is known as the “missing middle” and that is the
idea of duplexes, townhouses, small apartment buildings and not necessarily a complex. Also
there is different triplexes and other ways of doing things that aren’t either an apartment complex
or a single family detached. That is where there tends to be some opportunity. The next slide
shows the Inflow/Outflow of residents and where they live and work. What you see in that
overlapping of the two circles, those are the people who live and work in the City of Dover. The
big green circle, are the people who are employed in the City but come from elsewhere. The
lighter green circle is the opposite; they live here and go elsewhere for work. What you see is
that we have a lot of people who don’t live in Dover but come here for work. The idea is that we
have housing near where people are working; there are a lot of community benefits. The next
slide shows content from this was in a presentation that Fuller Center for Housing gave to the
Council Committee of the Whole. The reason that she included this is basically to show that the
things that we are considering in this process are very much similar to the things that all of the
housing experts are talking about. The Chosen Reforms that were in the Resolution that City
Council passed include: to allow ADUs, which are Accessory Dwelling Units and/or “missing
middle” housing types as permitted in residential zones. What is interesting is that she thinks we
are getting 2-3 inquiries at this point about what our rules are on accessory dwelling units. Our
rules right now are that they are not allows. We have recognized for a while that this was
22
25
Página 26
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 18, 2026
Item 1.
coming. She thinks that we all know that the staffing situation hasn’t really allowed them to
focus on that. So now with this, we can address that. Increase buildable density for housing by
reducing minimum lot sizes and bulk standards. Mr. Llewellyn was here earlier this evening for
the open space for those four townhouses on the corner of Cecil and West Street. He had to get
variances to be able to build. One of the things that we are looking at is if we are granting
variances to do what we want people to do and what collectively as a community do they think it
is the right thing to be doing, then maybe we need to look at adjusting those lot sizes so that
people don’t have to jump through hoops. So, that will be one thing that they look at.
Establishing an inclusionary zoning program to address affordable and workforce housing needs;
this one is a bigger load. This is the idea of building 100 units then maybe 15% of them need to
be affordable to low or moderate incomes. That takes a lot of administration but it is something
that has worked well in past across the County and it is pretty standard in places, our neighboring
State included. Then it is about allowing higher density, mixed-use with residential in
commercial zones or employment centers. Again, we are seeing some of that. We have
apartments being built on Leipsic Road that are in the SC-2 Zone. Again, Dover has embraced
some of these things. There are additional Reforms that we, as the City, did not include in our
application but that doesn’t mean that they are off the table. As we get into identifying those
barriers and we go out to the public, we come back to you. If some of these other things are
something that you want them to look into a little more and maybe have a discussion about, those
things are possible as well.
Basically, what she is looking for from the Commission and from City Council is based on what
you know at this point in time, what are the things that are on this list that you support, oppose or
don’t know enough about to make a decision? She is going to ask Mrs. Melson-Williams to send
a link to the form and you can fill that out. They will report it back to you, but this is just so that
they can as they go through the process of identifying the possible solutions and so that they can
kind of get a sense of where everybody is on these things. They don’t want to spend a lot of time
chasing down something that really doesn’t have the support.
Mrs. Maucher asked what is inclusionary zoning? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs.
Townshend stated that the inclusionary zoning is where you have developments of a certain size
where a certain portion of those units would need to be set aside for low to moderate income.
Mr. Lewis asked if he could assume that the second bullet there is the national average.
Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Townshend stated that $1,800 is not based on bedrooms. The
$1,450 is in Dover for a one-bedroom. Basically, the idea here is showing that if you are one
person, you are still looking at $1,450 a month. She thinks we all know that not all jobs pay
enough to be able to afford that.
Mr. Lewis stated that on the next slide, by his math, that is 1,020 unoccupied houses. Are there
any statics on that? Are they mostly apartments? Are they the complex still being built on
Leipsic Road? Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Townshend stated that this is based on the 2024
American Community Survey and it’s a five-year average per the U.S. Census. Vacant can be
many things; it can be vacant. We have a Vacant Building ordinance, and we have places that are
registered. It could be somebody’s second home if they claim primary residency somewhere else.
So for instance, if you are here part time and in Florida part time. It can be a lot of things, but it
23
26
Página 27
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 18, 2026
Item 1.
isn’t unfinished units. She doesn’t think that there is an issue of vacancy in existing apartments
because that just doesn’t exist today.
Mr. Lewis stated that vacant doesn’t necessarily mean if failed. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mrs.
Townshend stated exactly. If you look at the beach towns, they’ve got a very high vacancy rate.
It’s doesn’t mean that they are available, they are just not a primary residence.
Mrs. Maucher on the inflow and outflow of workers, is the inflow primarily because the
legislature and the government function? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Townshend stated
that she suspects that it is.
Mrs. Maucher asked if that was stripped away, is there a way to look at that data to see how that
flow would be? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Townshend stated that she doesn’t know
because again, this is what we get from the Census. But again, when you look at it, she doubts
that it is your actual legislators but it’s your state employees who work here and drive in from
elsewhere. Ideally, we would be able to have a larger portion of the people who work in Dover
live and in Dover.
Mr. Witham stated that his only concern about all of this and he supports this position with
Dover getting involved, but his concern is about how much this local concern is going to be
taken over by the State. Is that part of your study? Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Townshend
stated that it’s not .She thinks that you have probably seen that there is a Bill in the General
Assembly that’s pending that would require municipalities and counties to have a much stronger
enforceable component of the Comprehensive Plan that deals with affordable housing.
Potentially if local governments did more to be ahead of it, the State might not take that
approach. She thinks what she has heard from legislators is, the information has been out there
and zoning has been largely recognized as a barrier to housing affordability. There has been little
movement at the County and Municipal level. So, that’s where the push from the State comes
from. It would be nice if we could get through this and see where we can get it before the State
took a different approach.
Mr. Witham stated that he wants to draw your attention to the article that just happened to appear
in the Wall Street Journal this morning about the controversy in Chicago about this same issue.
He is neither pro or con; he is just simply saying that it’s out there and it depends on what
happens with what we tend to do here. We are either going to get public support or public
opposition.
Mrs. Townshend stated that she will be back to the Commission reporting information as they
move along.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property development area consists of a 3.93 +/- acre portion of the 161.91 +/- acre
parcel (ED-05-057.00-01-21.00-00001) north of College Road, west of US Route 13 southbound,
and northeast of the on-campus Loop Road. This site has previously been developed as the parking
and stadium entrance area on the south side of the existing Delaware State University Alumni
Stadium and facility/ticket buildings. There is an existing shed that will remain on site. This
location is within Delaware State University grounds. An alternative design (Alternative 1) would
include a 4,400 SF, one-story addition north of the main proposed building for a Strength and
Conditioning Training Facility.
The proposed project would consist of a four-story 53,370 SF building (*57,770 SF with
Alternative 1) within the Stadium Plaza Complex, landscaping, and associated site improvements
with a locker room, laundry, storage, training rooms, utilities, ticketing, reception area, kitchen
lounge, VIP area, press/coaches’ area, and meeting rooms. The site access will be via a drive-aisle
off Loop Road and connect to the existing parking lot area. This drive-aisle will allow access to the
proposed new locker room building, stadium entrance, and grandstand area with eleven (11)
proposed ADA parking spaces and additionally converting six (6) existing parking lot spaces to
handicap spaces. The Site Plans submitted show a crosswalk along the Loop Road site entrance. A
sidewalk providing dedicated pedestrian access is shown connecting to the existing sidewalk along

IO Zoning District
The property is zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) and is subject to the regulations of
Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §10, Article 4 §4.15, and Article 5 §8.1 as a non-residential lot
development. Additionally, Site Development Plan approval in accordance with article 10,
section 2 shall be required prior to the issuance of Building Permits for the erection or
enlargement of all structures and prior to the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for any
change of use in this zone. Permitted uses within this zoning district (Article 3, §10.d) include:
Public and institutional uses including hospitals, medical clinics, libraries, police
stations, courthouses, transit centers, schools, colleges, universities, places of
public assembly, philanthropic and charitable institutions, parks, playgrounds,
public indoor recreation centers, athletic fields.
Broadly speaking, an extension of the existing university stadium facilities and parking lot is a
permitted use within this zoning district.
SWPOZ – Source Water Protection Overlay Zone, Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Area
The purpose of the Source Water Protection Overlay Zone (Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §29) is
to provide a safe drinking water supply and to ensure that groundwater is adequately protected
and maintained. This entire Project Area is subject to the Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Area.
The following uses are prohibited throughout the SWPOZ, including in the excellent recharge
area:
Zoning Ordinance Article 3 Section 29
29.51 Uses prohibited:
a) Automobile body/repair shop, motor vehicle, boat or farm equipment service;
b) Gas stations and motor vehicle service stations;
c) Fleet/trucking/bus terminal;
d) Dry cleaner;
e) Electrical/electronic manufacturing facility;
f) Machine shop;
g) Metal plating/finishing/fabricating facility;
h) Chemical processing/storage facility;
i) Wood preserving/treating facility;

o) Underground storage tanks;
p) All uses not permitted in the underlying zone district.
As proposed, the activities and onsite facilities do not appear to be a prohibited use under the
SWPOZ.
SWPOZ - Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Areas Lands are additionally subject to specific rules
regarding impervious coverage. The maximum coverage within Tier 3 Lands is typically 30% or
60% if infiltration is used in the development’s stormwater management. Redevelopment
typically requires a 15% reduction from pre-development conditions under Zoning Ordinance,
Article 3 §29.73. See code excerpts below.
Article 3 Section 29
29.72 Impervious surfaces. Impervious surfaces within tier 3 lands of the source water
protection overlay zone are limited to a maximum of 30 percent. Limits upon impervious
surface apply to portions of a site which is within tier 3 lands. New development may
exceed the 30 percent impervious cover threshold up to 60 percent impervious cover
provided the differential volume of stormwater generated from 30 percent to 60 percent
impervious cover, based on the two-year storm, is infiltrated within an excellent
recharge area. The use of infiltration shall be based upon the technical merits of the
application as well as the ability to quantify the volume of recharge. All infiltration
facilities shall be designed in accordance with the Delaware Sediment and Stormwater
Regulations.
29.73 Redevelopment. Site modification which requires site development plan
approval must create a 15-percent reduction in the amount of impervious surface on
the site when compared to pre-redevelopment conditions.
(a) If the 15-percent reduction would require a site to go below the 30-percent
maximum impervious surface provision of section 29.72, then the maximum
impervious surface cover for the site is 30 percent.
(b) If stormwater is infiltrated within the excellent recharge area as per section
29.72 then only an amount of reduction in impervious surface which is necessary
to meet the 60-percent maximum will be required.
A significant portion of the Delaware State University Campus north of College Road is subject
the SWPOZ – Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Area. This project area at the Football Stadium Plaza
area is considered as redevelopment. Focusing on this Site Development Area (Limit of
Disturbance), the existing conditions are listed as 78.4% impervious surface. The Project
Development Area’s impervious coverage is currently proposed at 73.8% following
construction; a reduction of approximately 6%. Even with the proposed bioretention facility on
the southwest side of the project area as part of the development’s stormwater management plan,
the impervious coverage exceeds the 60% threshold and does not provide a 15% reduction
required for redevelopment. This calculation is presented in the data column on the plan set
cover sheet. Sufficient information has not been given to evaluate where the campus as a whole
stands with the impervious cover limitations of the SWPOZ. The Site Development Area could
also be revised to incorporation more open space areas for compliance. The applicant continues
to evaluate methods for compliance with these SWPOZ requirements and the potential for
infiltration methods of stormwater management. The project may have to seek a variance from
the Board of Adjustment related to the SWPOZ provisions.
The bioretention facility and other stormwater management facilities will be reviewed as part of
32

Item 2.
S-26-11 Delaware State University Football Stadium Plaza
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 4
the Stormwater Management Plan by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental
Control (DNREC).
IV. PARKING SUMMARY
The Plans submitted show that 166 of the existing parking lot spaces will be eliminated and
eleven (11) vehicle parking spaces are to be provided near the south side of the project limits of
the proposed building. All 11 newly proposed parking spaces will be ADA-accessible spaces
located near the main, southeast entrance of the plaza and six (6) existing parking spaces on the
southwestern side of the driveway entrance will be converted to ADA-accessible spaces.
A centralized parking plan for the Delaware State University campus was approved by the Board
of Adjustment in 2009, superseding code requirements for the campus and individual campus
components. Per the Campus Parking Plan, the Board of Adjustment set the required number of
parking spaces needed for the Delaware State University Campus at 1,650 parking spaces per
Article 6 Section 3.8 of the Zoning Ordinance on April 15, 2009 (V-08-19). The current number
of parking spaces on campus is estimated to be 2,239 parking spaces with a surplus of 331
parking spaces. This accounts for four of the prior surplus spaces being allocated to the
construction of the Agricultural Building as part of Site Plan S-23-18. This project at the Stadium
Area will remove 166 parking spaces and construct 11 new parking spaces; therefore, 176 spaces
would remain from the campus surplus spaces at project completion. These parking calculations
must be confirmed.
Bicycle Parking
The site is required to provide bicycle parking. The minimum bicycle parking requirement is
one (1) for every twenty (20) vehicle parking spaces. Sheet C300 includes a bicycle parking
calculation which bases the required bicycle parking on 201 vehicle parking spaces, indicating
eleven (11) bicycle parking spaces are required for the project. The calculation does not indicate
the basis for 201 spaces; the applicant indicated it is the number spaces in the closest large
parking lot to the stadium area. There is a parking lot at the southeast corner of the project area
that extends beyond the identified project area.
The applicant has stated on the plans that there are a planned 11 bicycle parking spaces to be
provided at the southeast corner of the building adjacent to the parking lot.
V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Access
The main/only vehicle entrance to the stadium development area is via Loop Road in the center-
south of the site. Loop Road is an interior road within the Delaware State University grounds.
The approximately 30-foot-wide entrance drive connects to the vehicle parking spaces along the
southeast and east sides of the building and the existing parking areas outside the proposed
development area to the south. A crosswalk is proposed across the driveway entrance with ramps
and ADA early warning detection pads.
Sidewalk
Sidewalks are required along all street frontages. The plan notes a sidewalk proposed along the
southwest Loop Road frontage of the property. This sidewalk also connects to a perpendicular
specialty paver/drop off area on the west side of the project towards the stadium. The Plan shows
that a sidewalk is planned providing pedestrian access from this pathway, onto the site/main plaza
33

Item 2.
S-26-11 Delaware State University Football Stadium Plaza
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 5
entrance, and connecting to the existing sidewalk network along Loop Road on the other side of the
driveway entrance. The overall Delaware State University Campus has an internal sidewalk network
and sidewalks along North DuPont Highway and most of College Road.
Lighting
Article 5 §7.1 stipulates that lighting shall provide no less than 1.5 foot-candles at grade. Light
shall also be deflected away from adjacent residential areas and shall not be distracting to traffic
on adjacent roads. Information on the lighting scheme was not provided and cannot be determined
if these regulations are being met.
Dumpsters
The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §6.1 stipulates the regulations regarding the required number of
dumpsters and the associated placement and screening requirements thereof. Article 5 §6.11
specifically notes the following:
6.11 Location and screening required. All dumpsters must be located in approved locations on
the lot. Dumpsters must be placed on hard, paved, dust-free surfaces and may not be placed in
designated parking spaces, fire lanes, or access ways. Outside storage of trash, cardboard, or
shipping pallets is prohibited. A dumpster enclosure is required to screen the dumpster from view
whenever these units are situated so that they will be visible from any public right-of-way or from
an adjacent property.
The Zoning Ordinance goes on in Article 5 §6.12 to note that non-residential uses provide a
minimum of two (2) dumpsters per property. Delaware State University also has a centralized
waste collection area, so no onsite dumpsters would be required. However, the Plans identify two
(2) dumpsters to be provided located in an enclosure at the southeast end of the parking area and
the design is detailed on Sheet C306. The proposed trash enclosure appears to be fenced and will
use two (2) 10-foot-wide by 8-foot tall 2”-#9 galvanized gates.
Curbing
The use of 6-inch upright curbing for parking lots and drive aisles is a requirement stipulated in
Article 6 §3.6(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. The Site Plans submitted (sheet C305) note there is 6-
inch upright curbing to be provided.
Arterial Street Buffer
Article 5 §7.3 stipulates that for areas where non-residential zoned property fronts on a
principal arterial street, as designated by the comprehensive plan, a landscape buffer shall be
required in addition to normal landscaping of the street right-of-way. Arterial street buffers shall
be a minimum of 30 feet in depth, measured from the right-of-way line of the arterial street and
this landscape buffer shall be planted with a variety of trees, shrubs and ground cover (landscape
guidelines of Article 5 §15). As presented, the plan shows that the paved area will encroach into
the 30-foot-wide Arterial Street Buffer along North DuPont Highway. The applicant will look to
revise the location of the paved area to remove its encouragement into the Arterial Street Buffer
area.
The submitted Landscape Plan (Sheet L0.00) does not indicate that additional landscaping will
be included in this Arterial Street Buffer area; however, there are existing lawn areas with trees
and shrubs planted between the property line and the roadway.

Flood Hazard Area
The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §11.21 requires that special flood hazard areas (100-year
floodplain) remain as open natural areas with no impervious surfaces. Portions of the Delaware
State University campus property are within the Special Flood Hazard Area (100-year
floodplain/ 1% chance of annual flooding). This property is found on the FEMA FIRM Panel of
Kent County Delaware Map Number 10001C0166H effective date May 5, 2003. The flood
hazard area is in the western area of the campus adjacent to the Fork Branch. This subject project
area is not located in the special flood hazard area.
VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
Conceptual Renderings and Exterior Elevation Drawings were submitted for the proposed
Facility. The building is proposed as a rectangular-shaped structure. The exterior is composed
primarily of rectangular-shaped panels, whose material is not specified but is listed as a mix of
metal and composite materials. They are in a small variety of gray tones with a light, medium,
and darker gray provided. The darker neutral tone encompasses the majority of the main building
while the central, trapezoidal tower is composed of lighter panels and glazing. The east elevation
shows a series of loading doors. The south side also has several doors with glazing and three
main entrance points.
The Football Stadium Plaza area consists of multiple pavement surfaces and designs leading to
the main entry to stadium grandstands and associated buildings. There are sidewalk connections
from the Loop Road and nearby parking lots. There are seating areas and landscape planters.
VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN
Woodland
The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §16.2 defines Woodland as follows:
Woodland. An area of contiguous wooded vegetation (7,500 square feet or greater), where
trees exist at a density of at least one tree with a caliper dimension of six inches or greater per
375 square feet of land and where the tree branches form a contiguous canopy.
The Landscape Plan provided by the Applicant notes that there are no existing areas of woodland
in the site development area and therefore a Tree Preservation and Selective Clearing Plan for
cleared woodlands is not required.
Tree Planting
Article 5 §16.62 of the Zoning Ordinance specifies that new tree plantings should be provided at
a rate of density no less than one (1) tree per 3,000 SF of non-woodland area. The total site
development area has been identified by the Applicant as being 3.93 acres +/- (171,190.80 SF).
The non-woodland development area is also 3.93 acres +/- (171,190.80 SF). The required
number of newly planted trees would be 58 trees.
The Plan submitted notes that 84 trees are to be planted as part of the project: 39 included as part
of onsite landscaping in the development area and 45 to be added along the north, south, and
west of the development area near (but outside) the project limits. The trees proposed include a
mix of maple, oak, and other deciduous and ornamental trees. No details as to further plantings,
like shrubbery or other ornamental landscaping, are provided. The entry plaza area appears to
35

Item 2.
S-26-11 Delaware State University Football Stadium Plaza
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 7
include potential landscape areas.
As all required trees are being planted on the campus, in the site development area and
immediately surrounding the development site, tree mitigation is not technically required;
however, the Planning Commission should consider the tree planting strategy in their review of
the plan.
VIII. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS:
The subject proposal has been reviewed for Code compliance, plan conformity, and
completeness in accordance with this agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following
items have been identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant:
1) Arterial Street Buffer:
a) The paved area shown on the plan at the east end of the building encroaches into the 30-
foot Arterial Street Buffer. The Plan will be revised to remove this encroachment rather
than seek a waiver from the Planning Commission for a reduction in width of the Arterial
Street Buffer.
2) Overall Site Cover Sheet (C-300 series):
a) Data Column:
i) Include the SWPOZ – Source Water Protection Overlay Zone, Tier 3: Excellent
Recharge Area with the Zoning listing.
ii) Specify if the Alternative 1 design to include the Strength and Conditioning Facility
is the submitted/preferred and update building area.
iii) Proposed Building area is listed as 57,934.80 SF+/- but the proposed building SF is
listed as 53,370 SF on the Construction Plan. Even accounting for the additional
4,400 SF of the Alternative 1 design, there is 164.80+/- SF of Buildings unaccounted
for in the Plans. The applicant has noted that the remaining Square footage is an
existing shed in the development area. Clarify the building area by listing each
building and update Construction Plan (Sheet C304) with all Building areas.
iv) Update Parking calculation per information in this Report.
b) Bicycle Parking: The proposed Bicycle Parking calculation references 201 parking
spaces. Please identify and note the location of the 201 parking spaces utilized for this
calculation.
c) Highlight the LOD of the proposed development area within the location maps on the
Cover Sheet (C300).
d) Clarify Dumpster enclosure materials and detail.
3) Landscape Plan (Sheet L0.00 series):
a) State that that the proposed tree planting locations extend beyond the project development
area. Modify the description of tree locations to “Within Project Area” and “On Campus
Outside of Project Area,” as all planting will be on the campus. Technically this is not tree
mitigation, as it is all on the same property, but as it is outside of the site development area,
Planning Commission should acknowledge this in their action and the Site Plan should
reflect this in the notes.
b) Include substantive plantings of trees, shrubs and ground cover to constitute an Arterial
Landscape Buffer (Article 5 §7.3) in the site development area. Indicate the updated
planting locations on the Landscape Plan and planting types following the landscape
36
Página 37
Item 2.
S-26-11 Delaware State University Football Stadium Plaza
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 8
guidelines outlined in Article 5 §15.
4) Include a lighting scheme/detail sheet to determine if Article 5 §7.1 regulations are being met.
5) Please clarify the building height. The architectural rendering shows the height at 166 feet,
but the floor level is labeled as 100 feet. The maximum building height in the IO zone is 150
feet. List building height on Site Plan. The applicant clarified that it is approximately 66 feet
in height as the architectural rendering uses 100 feet as the ground level starting point.
6) Please confirm compliance with the impervious cover requirements of the Source Water
Protection Overlay Zone (SWPOZ) – Tier 3 Excellent Recharge Area. The Data Column
identifies a reduction from 78.4% impervious cover to 73.8% impervious cover. The Zoning
Ordinance, Article 3 §29.73 requires a 15% reduction in impervious cover for
redevelopment.
a) Provide information on the status of the campus compliance with this SWPOZ
impervious surface requirement.
b) Consider revision of the Site Development Plan area to include more open space areas or
no pavement area.
c) Depending on the ability to revise the plan to achieve these impervious surface
limitations, the project may be required to seek a variance from the Board of Adjustment.
7) Any Erosion & Sediment Control Plans and Stormwater Management Plans granted approval
by DNREC must reflect the Site Plan layout and design conditionally approved by the
Planning Commission and be in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and technical review
requirements of other agencies.
8) The Final Plan set must include notes documenting any action taken by the Planning
Commission and must list any additional conditions of approval.
IX. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET
CODE OBJECTIVES:
In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.2, the Planning Commission in
considering and acting upon Site Development Plans may prescribe appropriate conditions and
safeguards so that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the
public in general, and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken
into consideration. These safeguards may to the maximum extent possible further the expressed
intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed
in subsections 2.21 to 2.28.
1) Bicycle Parking: Staff recommends that additional bicycle parking be placed at student entry
locations to the facility to allow for improved bicycle access from other locations on and
surrounding the campus.
2) Tree Plantings – Acceptance of Planting Locations: The Planning Staff recommends
approval of the Tree Planting location in adjacent areas of the campus as a form of
compliance for Tree Mitigation that can not readily be achieved in the site development area.

3) Compliance with SWPOZ: The Planning Staff will continue to work with the applicant to
understand and consider methods for compliance with the impervious coverage limitations of
the SWPOZ (Source Water Projection Overlay Zone). Design options may include reduction
of pavement areas, infiltration methods for stormwater management, use of pervious paving,
etc.
Other agencies may recommend additional conditions and safeguards in accordance with their
areas of expertise. The Recommended Additional Considerations to Meet Code Objectives may
be accepted or rejected by the Planning Commission.
X. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) If major changes and revisions to the Site Plan occur in the finalization of the Plan,
contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of the building, relocation of

observe and approve all City owned water and sanitary sewer interconnections and testing. All water taps must be performed
by a City of Dover approved contractor. The proposed location for the water connection may need to be adjusted in the field
due to conditions of the existing main. Possible conditions that would require tapping relocation include proximity to pipe
joints, other taps, concrete encasements, conflict with other utilities, and the like. Test holes must be performed by the
contractor to determine the best tapping location. The City of Dover will not be held responsible for field conditions requiring
adjustment of the tapping location or for any work required by the contractor to make an appropriate and lawful connection.
3. The size, type, and location of all proposed and existing water lines and valves must be shown on the plan.
4. Water usage projections (peak demand or plumbing fixtures) must be submitted to our office to correctly determine the size of
the domestic and irrigation (if applicable) water meter for the proposed building. These projections must be submitted prior to

Dover requirements and manufacturer’s recommendations. Also, a dual check valve is required downstream of the meter.
5. The domestic service, fire main connection and valves must be clearly shown for each building. A valve must be installed at the
tee to isolate combined fire and domestic water service to the building from the water loop. Typically, this valve is installed at
the tee or an acceptable distance from the building. A valve must be provided on the domestic water service, which must be
tapped off of the combined eight-inch (8”) fire/domestic service outside of the building. The domestic water tap and valve should
be as close to the building as possible. Typically, the domestic tap and valve are located within five feet (5’) to ten feet (10’) of
the building. A blow up detail of this layout is recommended.
6. Provide a construction detail for the proposed restraining system for the fire main located within the buildings. The Department
of Public Works will test and inspect all fire mains to a blind flange located inside the buildings. The blind flange with tap is used
for hydrostatic pressure testing (200 psi for two (2) hours) and dechlorination. The flange must be restrained in the direction of
the pipe entering the facility. A pipe entering horizontally through a wall sleeve shall be restrained with rods through the wall. A
pipe entering vertically through a slab shall be restrained through the floor to the ninety degree (90) bend and thrust block. All
rods shall be a minimum of ¾” all thread. All pipes through walls and slabs must be Class 52 cement lined ductile iron pipe.

Dear Mr. Hugg:
The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has reviewed a request, submitted May
06, 2026, to obtain a Letter of No Contention (LONC) to use an existing commercial building and site
entrance for the above referenced project, and has approved the request. This determination is based
on the project information as provided in the completed Permit Application, and verification of the
requirements on the LONC approval checklist. This approval shall be valid for a period of one (1)
year.
The following conditions are provided with this approval:
1) Site shall have access from the existing entrance located on North Dupont Highway (KCR002).
2) No entrance modifications or traffic pattern changes are proposed or authorized under this LONC
approval.
3) DelDOT reserves the right to review, modify or revoke this LONC approval in the future if
proposed activities create traffic conflicts, safety concerns or operational issues.
4) The property owner is responsible to:
a. Submit information to DelDOT, regarding any future operational or site changes, (including
but not limited to: rezoning, site layout changes, changes in use, entrance modifications,
expanded/additional uses, new uses, etc.). Changes of this nature may alter the flow and/or
volume of traffic and could require a new LONC or formal review for Approvals and/or
Permits.
b. Establish and maintain clear sight lines at the entrance. There shall be no placement of
structures, signs, objects, items for sale or parking of vehicles within State right-of-way or

ADVISORY BRIEF Planning
D.A.C. MEETING DATE: 6/3/2026 Organization
S-26-11 Delaware State University Football Stadium Plaza at 1200 N Dupont Hwy
FILE # S-26-11 REVIEWING AGENCY: Dover/Kent County MPO
CONTACT PERSON: Malcolm Jacob PHONE #: (302) 387-6030
Attached, please find comments submitted by Dover Kent MPO for each of the current City of Dover Development
Advisory Committee (DAC) applications. These comments are a part of the MPO’s ongoing goals of promoting
transportation safety and connectivity within the region. They are submitted in accordance with the support given by
the MPO Council on November 6, 2024.
Issues of concern to the MPO are effective transit, reducing the amount of vehicle emissions by shortening or
eliminating trips, and facilities for alternative modes of transportation, including bicycle and pedestrian access. The
MPO considers the bicycle facilities required by the City of Dover to be the standard for all applications, not to be
waived.
City of Dover Planning Commission
Site Development Plan Review
S-26-11 Delaware State University Football Stadium Plaza at 1200 N Dupont Hwy
Dover Kent MPO has no major objections to the site plan. Loop Road is one of the internal
roadways on the main campus of Delaware State University. The project is unlikely to have
significant traffic impacts except when a game or other event is taking place. Given that the
project involves the renovation and extension of existing facilities rather than an entirely new
facility, the traffic impact during events will likely be similar to the current impact. The parking
lot contains two entrances, which should improve the flow of vehicle traffic.
The site plain includes internal pathways that will offer a safe path for pedestrians. Sidewalks are
already present along Loop Road; the applicant should ensure that if these sidewalks are
damaged or removed during construction, they should be replaced to ensure the connection is not
lost.
The site plan depicts a paver crosswalk across Loop Road, connecting the existing pathway with
the new facility. This will be an important connection for students walking to and from the
stadium. There is also a crosswalk running across the new entrance to the facility. Dover Kent
62
Página 63
Item 2.
MPO believes it would be beneficial to add Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) or
similar safety improvements to the Loop Road crossing, so that pedestrians can signal to
motorists when the crosswalk is being used. Crosswalks should always be accompanied by ADA
curb ramps to provide accessibility for pedestrians.
Finally, the applicant should ensure enough bicycle parking is provided. The City of Dover
requires a minimum of one (1) bicycle parking space for every twenty (20) vehicle parking
spaces1; however, given that the project is located on a college campus, where students are more
likely to use a bicycle for transportation, it would make sense to include more than this minimum
amount if possible. If more information on various types of bike racks is needed, please contact
Dover Kent MPO.
If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the
above contact person and the Planning Department as soon as possible.

Services contract with the City of Dover). The Report was completed with additional review and
editing by the City’s Planning Office.
I. PLAN SUMMARY:
This is a review of Preliminary Subdivision Plan for the Bay Village Residential Planned
Neighborhood Design Application. The property is 79.14 acres of land east of State Route 1 on
the south side of White Oak Road and located south of the Garrison Oak Business and
Technology Center. The property is currently zoned RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone)
and subject to the Source Water Protection Overlay Zone (SWPOZ): Tier 2 Primary Wellhead
Protection Area. The Preliminary Subdivision application is for 250 townhouse lots and a lot for
a future apartment complex development area with associated infrastructure and improvements.
The property owner is Bay Village of Dover LLC. Address: South side of White Oak Road. Tax
Parcel: LC05-068.00-01-06.00-000. Council District 3. PLUS Review #2024-02-03. Waiver
Requests: Elimination of Rear Alley for Lots 1-20. Associated Applications: MI-26-03 Bay
Village Residential Concept Sketch Plan was presented to City Council in February 2026 with

II. Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The City of Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan as amended shows this property on the Land
Development Plan Map (Map 12-1) with the Land Use Category of Residential Medium Density.
The Land Development Plan Matrix (Table 12-1) notes a series of zoning districts appropriate
for the Land Use Category of Residential Medium Density.
R-10 (One Family Residence)
R-8 (One Family Residence)
R-7 (One Family Residence)
RM-1 (Medium Density Residence)
RM-2 (Medium Density Residence)
Residential Medium Density
RG-1 (General Residence)
RG-2 (General Residence)
RG-3 (Group Housing)
RGO (General Residence and Office)
MH (Manufactured Housing)
C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial)
Further described in the Comprehensive Plan, the Land Use Category of Residential Medium
Density is associated with residential development of a maximin gross density of eight (8) dwelling
units per acre in a variety of housing types (see pages 12-4 and 12-5). The White Oak Road Area
is specifically described as related to the Residential Medium Density Land Use.
The following is an excerpt from the 2019 Comprehensive Plan regarding Residential Medium
Density Land Uses (page 12-4 and 12-5):
Recommendation for Residential Medium Density
Residential Medium Density land uses involve a maximum gross density of eight (8)
dwelling units per acre. This type of development may include single family houses on
smaller lots, duplexes, townhouses, and some apartments. Some Manufactured Home Park
developments would also be considered Residential Medium Density. Medium density
residential uses are permitted in the following zoning districts: R-8 (One Family Residence
Zone), R-7 (One Family Residence Zone), RM-1 (Medium Density Residence Zone), RM-
2 (Medium Density Residence Zone) planned to reflect the historic patterns and mix of
land uses common to Dover’s early development, RG-1 (General Residence Zone), RG-2
(General Residence Zone), RG-3 (Group Housing Zone), RGO (General Residence and
Office Zone), and MH (Manufactured Housing Zone).
The Land Development Plan recommends that Residential Medium Density uses be
permitted near existing and planned service and employment centers and in locations well
supported by transportation infrastructure and mass transit services. Areas identified as
Medium Density Residential can be looked at as potential receiving areas under a transfer
of development rights program. Areas in the northern portion of the City are appropriate
for Residential Medium Density development.
White Oak Road Area: Residential Medium Density
The Land Development Plan recommends that an area east of State Route 1 on White Oak
85
Página 86
Item 3.
SB-26-02 Bay Village Planned Neighborhood Design – Preliminary Subdivision Plan Review
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 4
Road be developed as Residential Medium Density. Bay Village who owns this property
zoned RM-2 (Residential Medium Density Zone), could potentially develop it in an
environmentally sustainable manner to provide quality workforce housing. While
previously there was concern that development of this area could be a “domino” leading to
additional development of land east of State Route 1, the State’s purchase of development
rights in the area has reduced this concern. Additionally, the site’s location across from
Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center makes it a good location for workforce
housing.
If there is residential development on the Lands of Bay Village, the City shall ensure that
the development of the Bay Village site proceeds as a master planned community with
transit access and bicycle and pedestrian amenities both within the site and connecting with
Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center and other areas to the west. Additionally,
the City must ensure that the viability of Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center is
protected by requiring that the phasing and design of development on the site minimizes
any potential conflicts between the residential and industrial uses and include buffering
from the industrial area.
The Comprehensive Plan establishes stated goals for various types of land uses within the City
limits. The stated goal for Residential Land Uses is “to develop and maintain an adequate supply
of housing of varying type, size, and densities that are aesthetically pleasing and located within
neighborhoods designed or redesigned to promote convenience, conservation, and access to the
greater community, but which are properly buffered through distance and landscaping from
incompatible land uses” (see page 12-3). One of the goals outlined in Chapter 11 – Housing &
Community Development is to “Encourage Balanced Housing Opportunities for all Residents of
the City.”
In reviewing this request, Planning Commission should determine that the plan submitted
conforms to the requirements of the Land Subdivision Regulations (Appendix A) and the
conclusions reached by the Planning Commission in the review of the Conditional Use Plan.
III. PLANNED NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN OPTION:
The applicant is seeking approval under the Planned Neighborhood Design (PND) Option (see
Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §24.1(a)). The Ordinance sets forth a three-step review and
approval process. As the first step in the review process, the developer presented the concept in a
general sketch plan to the City Council on February 23, 2026 (MI-26-03). The City Council
determined that the proposed project was of a design and type that warranted further review by
the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission reviewed the PND application as a
Conditional Use for the property at a public hearing on April 20, 2026, fulfilling the second
review phase requirement. This Preliminary Subdivision Plan application represents the third
review step as outlined under the City’s PND ordinance requirements.
The Planned Neighborhood is intended to “…encourage superior residential environments
through a unified planning process ...” by allowing the Planned Neighborhood Design Option in
the R-20, R-15, R-10, R-8, RM-1 and RM-2 zones through the review process. The PND must
present a superior community design that would not be possible under conventional zoning and
is in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The Conditional
Use/Master Plan reflected the general layout of streets, open space, and housing areas and types.
The subdivision plan/site plan includes additional details and reports to assess impacts and assist
86
Página 87
Item 3.
SB-26-02 Bay Village Planned Neighborhood Design – Preliminary Subdivision Plan Review
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 5
the City in determining how the proposal fulfills the requirements for superior residential designs
in the planning review process.
It is important to keep in mind that this proposal does not involve a rezoning of the land, and the
land would remain RM-2. The following are permitted in a Planned Neighborhood Design:
single family detached dwellings, one family lot line dwellings, duplexes, multiplex dwellings,
townhouses and rooming houses. The PND option allows for a greater variety of housing types
and allows for commercial uses while requiring 25% open space. The maximum density for a
PND in the RM-2 zoning is eight (8) dwelling units per acre.
Approved Alternative Design Standards for Bay Village Residential PND
Based on review of the Bay Village Residential PND plan, the proposed uses consist of
Townhouse units on individual lots and a future area for apartments. The applicant proposes
adjustments to the required design standards of a Planned Neighborhood Design in the RM-2
zoning district. Article 3 §24.5 of the Zoning Ordinance permits the Planning Commission to
grant such adjustments and reads as follows:
The design standards and dimensional requirements (bulk and parking regulations) shall be in
accordance with article 4, § 4.10 and 4.11, except that the planning commission may relax any of
these requirements where the developer can demonstrate that such action is desirable and
consistent with the objectives of this ordinance and the comprehensive plan.
The following table presents the Design Standards of the Zoning Ordinance for a Planned
Neighborhood Design in comparison to the applicant’s request for Alternative Design Standards
for the Bay Village Residential PND specifically for the Townhouse units, as approved with C-
26-02.

The following uses listed below are prohibited throughout the SWPOZ, including in the Tier 2
area. The proposed uses as townhouse units would be allowed.
Zoning Ordinance Article 3 Section 29
29.51 Uses prohibited:
a) Automobile body/repair shop, motor vehicle, boat or farm equipment service;
b) Gas stations and motor vehicle service stations;
c) Fleet/trucking/bus terminal;
d) Dry cleaner;
e) Electrical/electronic manufacturing facility;
f) Machine shop;
g) Metal plating/finishing/fabricating facility;
h) Chemical processing/storage facility;
i) Wood preserving/treating facility;
j) Junk yard/scrap yard/salvage yard;
k) Mines/gravel pit;
l) Land divisions resulting in high density (> one unit/acre) septic systems;
m) Equipment maintenance/fueling areas;
n) Injection wells/dry wells/sumps, except for single-family residences directing
gutter downspouts to a drywell;
o) Underground storage tanks;
p) All uses not permitted in the underlying zone district.
Tier 2- Primary Wellhead Protection Area Lands are additionally subject to specific rules for
protection of potable water supply well fields. Specific requirements are for areas immediately
surrounding the actual wellhead location; there is not a wellhead on or within 500 feet of this
property. There are provisions related to management of stormwater runoff and its discharge
requiring use of sheet flow through grassland areas and certain construction features of
stormwater management facilities. This will be reviewed as part of the Stormwater Management
Plan by the Kent Conservation District.
IV. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
The tract of land totaling 79.14 acres +/- exceeds the requirement that a PND shall be a minimum
of twenty (20) acres. The subject site is located on the south side of White Oak Road, east of
State Route 1 and across from the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center (an industrial
park).
The design presented would create a neighborhood of 250 townhouse units on individual lots and
proposes reserving a parcel for future development of a 200-unit apartment complex. The nearby
area to the northeast and east includes a mix of single-family detached dwellings and
manufactured homes in addition to agricultural lands. The PND allows flexibility in housing
types and the opportunity to be creative in their placement. With the apartment complex, this
proposal includes a mix of housing styles providing alternative and varied housing types in the
area.
The PND Plan requested Alternative Design Standards within a PND for lot area and lot width.
Lots are generally proposed at a 20-foot to 35-foot width and an 80-foot to 90-foot depth. The
Planning Commission voted to conditionally approve the applicant’s requests for Alternative
Design Standards for minimum lot width and lot area requirements under the PND ordinance as
part of the Conditional Use review process (C-26-02).
Lots identified on the Plan Sheet C-201/C-202 as 101, 113, 114, 148, 160, 161, 173, 174, 186,
88

DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 7
187, 199, 217, 218, 237, 238, and 250 show buildings that appear to encroach into setback
requirements. These end unit Townhouses appear to be at (or over) the second setback from the
street. Also, the standard of 30 feet for building spacing must be evaluated to ensure 30 feet
exists between the adjacent Townhouse end units.
If the applicant is also seeking additional Alternative Design Standards/relief for building
setbacks the application should a) be updated to clarify a request for setback encroachment or b)
clearly state that all proposed buildings will comply with current building setback requirements.
Special Floor Hazard Area (1% Annual Chance Flood/ 100-year floodplain)
Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §11.21 provides that all Special Flood Hazard Areas, including 100-
year floodplains, remain as natural open space except for the construction of roads authorized by
the City of Dover and/or the Delaware Department of Transportation. Natural open space is
defined as an area of land that excludes buildings, structures, and impervious surface from being
constructed on or located within the area. This would preclude the construction of homes or
associated improvements within these areas. There are a number of Lots along Quietwater Road
and Bayhaven Way identified on the Plan Sheet C-201/C-202 that have a portion of their
property within the 100-year floodplain (as currently depicted on the FEMA FIRM Panel).
The Plan set must depict the location of the 100-year floodplain as the line is depicted on the
FIRM Panel. Sheet C-101 depicts the current location of the 100-year floodplain per the FIRM
Panel Map 10001C0186J effective 7/7/2014. While the applicant has gathered better elevation
data for the existing elevations on the property, this data for the location of the floodplain can
only be used if submitted and accepted through the LOMC (Letter of Map Change) process with
FEMA. Once accepted then the revised line will need to be depicted on the plan.
As noted in the PLUS review, “If fill is to be placed in floodplain to increase grade elevation to
raise proposed development out of mapped floodplain, a Certified Letter of Map Revision – Fill
(CLOMR-Fill) request must be submitted to FEMA for review followed by an application to
FEMA for a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) at completion. Please note that a property will not
be officially recognized by FEMA as being located out of the mapped floodplain until a LOMR
has been issued.”
The applicant has indicated that they are pursuing a Conditional Letter of Map Revision
(CLOMR) and map change (LOMC) through FEMA related to the Special Flood Hazard Area.
They are preparing to make this submission and have submitted information to the City of Dover
for the community’s signature. Unless the CLOMR is granted as submitted, any areas that
remain in the floodplain are required to remain as natural open space. This affects a number of
parcels along the western, southern and eastern areas of the townhouse area.
It is also noted that the Little River/ White Oak Tax Ditch is the western and southern property
lines. This water body has a right-of-way maintenance area and buffering requirements that
appear to have been met. See discussion in Wetlands & Buffering section below.
Streets and Sidewalks
Two connections to the existing street network are required by the Land Subdivision Regulations
based on the total number of units and lots (250 lots are proposed). With the creation of one
hundred and fifty (150) dwelling units or twenty lots (20), a second connection to existing streets
89
Página 90
Item 3.
SB-26-02 Bay Village Planned Neighborhood Design – Preliminary Subdivision Plan Review
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 8
is required (Land Subdivision Regulations, Article VI §A.8). The entrance from White Oak Road
into Bay Village PND is proposed to be aligned with the east entrance to the Garrison Oak
Business and Technology Center (industrial park) on Garrison Oak Drive. The second entrance is
proposed approximately 550 feet west of the entrance south of Garrison Oak Drive. The plan
presents alley rights-of-way of 16 feet which meets the minimum requirement to accommodate
extra space for movement within the alleys without impact to individual properties.
The submitted plan includes names for the proposed streets and alleys. The street and alley
names within the development will need to be approved by Kent County Mapping/911
Addressing Section in conjunction with the City of Dover. The City of Dover typically uses
alley names that correspond to nearby street names, which may necessitate some revisions.
The development will include pedestrian-oriented amenities with sidewalks along all internal
streets and a shared use path along White Oak Road. The plans and street sections detail include
the width of the sidewalks.
V. Parking
Article 4 § 4.11 requires that two off-street parking spaces are required for each townhouse unit.
According to the data column, 500 off-street parking spaces will be provided. On-street parking
is depicted on certain sides of the streets and is listed as 121 overflow spots. Please provide the
dimensions for the required off-street parking spaces on each lot. The Signage and Striping Plan
should include “No Parking” signs along proposed street segments that are not to be used for
parking.
Article 6 § 3.10 requires that one bicycle parking space shall be provided for every 20 parking
spaces or a fraction thereof; this is interpreted to be required when parking lots are developed.
This will apply to the future apartment complex area. However, it is suggested that bicycle
parking opportunities be created in the active recreation areas/ open spaces where amenities are
found, to address the superior design guidelines described in the Comprehensive Plan. This plan
includes these bicycle parking spaces near the various recreation amenities.
VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE – General
The applicant has provided revised building elevation renderings which show the typical
townhouse design as two-story units with no garages. These units feature (vinyl) siding in
horizontal and board-and-batten vertical formats, asphalt shingle roofs with select detailed turned
gable, windows with shutters, and small shed roofs over each entry door. The side elevations of
the end units and rear elevations are not depicted. The applicant should ensure that in the side
elevations of rear units, there is architectural relief, including windows, to avoid blank walls.
The plan depicts many townhouse units with driveways/parking pads along alleys that would be
accessed from the rear, along with enclosures for trash and recycling receptacles.
Rear Emergency Access Requirements
Specific Rear Emergency Access for Lots 1-20
Rear Emergency Access is required for some residential dwelling types. According to Article 5,
Section 17 of the Zoning Ordinance, either an alley of 16 feet (if not a fire protected townhouse) or
an “open rear yard” of 16-foot width is required for Townhouses of three to five units to provide
rear emergency access. A majority of the proposed development layout includes a rear alley.
90
Página 91
Item 3.
SB-26-02 Bay Village Planned Neighborhood Design – Preliminary Subdivision Plan Review
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 9
However, the series of Lots (1-20) along Quietwater Road does not include a rear alley. See the
Emergency Rear Access Narrative to describe their approach for Lots 1-20 The Subdivision Plan
(Revised Sheet C-202 and Lots 1-20 Exhibit) shows a 16 ft. wide Open Rear Access that runs
parallel to the rear lot line as an “open rear yard” with proposed tree plantings between the lots
and White Oak Road to their north. The plan shows that this Open Rear Access with a subgrade
emergency access constructed. Ordinance provisions (Zoning and Subdivision Regulations)
address the need to incorporate additional fire protection treatments in cases where townhouse
units do not have rear alley access.
These Townhouse units on Lots 1-20 must comply with the following:
• Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §17 (5) defines "fire protected townhouse" as “the
individual units are separated by an NFPA-approved fire barrier and alternating pattern of
noncombustible exterior siding separating combustible exterior siding.” The architectural
elevations do not provide the information to confirm this condition, but the Emergency
Rear Access narrative indicates they will utilize non-combustible siding and a fire rated
party wall between units.
• Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §17 (5) defines “open rear yard” as an “open yard area of at
least 16 feet in width that must be maintained between townhouse buildings which back
up to each other. Within this open rear yard, the placement of structures, fences,
landscaping or any other obstruction shall be prohibited. Remaining yard areas may be
enclosed by fencing and used for the placement of accessory structures, provided that
such fencing shall be limited to four feet in height and structures limited to no more than
one shed not greater than ten′ × ten′.” While the plan shows the Open Rear Access area
(with subgrade emergency access) to serve as the “open rear yard,” the long-term
compliance of this configuration as related to fences and sheds can be difficult.
While this is compliant, if the developer wishes to make revisions to the above scenario, then
additional review and or waivers may need to be considered. Also, if the lots are developed with
a different housing unit type, then the Rear Emergency Access provisions may change.
Rear Alley Access
Waiver Request – Elimination of Rear Alley for Lots 1 – 20
Land Subdivision Regulations (Appendix A – Subdivisions, Article VI §13.8) states:
All townhouses shall be provided with rear access alleys unless the planning
commission finds that alleys are infeasible for the development or finds that the
design of the townhouses precludes their suitability. The required alley right-of-
way and roadway width may be increased at the discretion of the city manager.
The current subdivision plan does not show an alley at the rear of Lots 1-20 and White Oak Road
is not directly adjacent to these lots, being some 30-60 feet to the north. This requirement
addresses more than just the emergency rear access. The absence of a rear alley has implications
for matters such as storage of trash and recycling cans, especially because garages are not
proposed. The Revised Exhibit diagram for these lots shows a rear storage area for the trash and
recycling cans with screening, but the cans will need to be brought to the street for collection.
The applicant has provided a Waiver Request for Rear Alley Requirement (Lots 1-20) Letter (as
Revised June 4, 2026) explaining their request.
91

Item 3.
SB-26-02 Bay Village Planned Neighborhood Design – Preliminary Subdivision Plan Review
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 10
In order to waive the alley requirement, the Planning Commission will need to determine that the
alley is infeasible or that the townhouse design precludes the suitability of an alley. The Planning
Commission will make a recommendation to City Council, which will be reviewed by the Safety
Advisory and Transportation Subcommittee of the Council Committee of the Whole prior to
Council Action.
VII. OPEN SPACE/ RECREATION PLAN
Twenty-five percent of the total PND site area must be set aside and preserved for open space. A
total of 35.45 acres +/- of open space is planned for the development. This exceeds the
requirement for 25% open space (19.68 acres). As part of the open space, 1.66 acres serves as
the Active Recreation area that is shown for the Townhouse units’ development area only.
1) Recreation area for this project is required at a rate of 275 square feet per dwelling unit or
0.5 acre of land, whichever is greater. Based on 250 dwelling units, 68,750 SF of
recreational area is required. The recreational component must be reviewed by the Parks,
Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee for a recommendation prior to
consideration of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan/ Site Plan by Planning Commission.
This Review was conducted for the Council Committee of the Whole: Parks Recreation
and Community Enhancement Committee Meeting of April 14, 2026. The Planning
Commission, as part of the conditional use review (C-26-02) voted to approve the proposed
Active Recreation Plan.
2) The Plan identifies Active Recreation features consisting of a basketball half court, tot
lot, pavilion and tables, dog park, and walking path with benches to serve the proposed
development of the 250 Townhouse units. The future development of an apartment
complex will be subject to additional active recreation requirements.
3) There shall be provisions which ensure that the community open space (all areas under
consideration for Active Recreation Areas) shall continue as such and be properly
managed and maintained. The developer shall either retain ownership and responsibility
for maintenance of the common use areas or provide for and establish one (1) or more
organizations for the ownership and maintenance of all common spaces, i.e., a
Homeowners Association or other property management entity. The organization shall be
responsible for maintenance, insurance, and taxes on the community space.
VIII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN
Woodland
The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §16.2 defines Woodland as follows:
Woodland. An area of contiguous wooded vegetation (7,500 square feet or greater), where trees exist
at a density of at least one tree with a caliper dimension of six inches or greater per 375 square feet of
land and where the tree branches form a contiguous canopy.
The Landscape Plan provided by the Applicant notes the existing areas of woodland in the site
development area and the Existing Conditions Plan shows the areas of woodland to be cleared
which complies with the woodland clearing limitations.
Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §16.6 requires a tree density of one tree per 3,000 SF for
nonwoodland areas. The subject site contains 1,746,756 SF of nonwoodland area, thereby
requiring at least 583 trees. The Plan meets this requirement by proposing 583 trees. For new
trees to be counted toward the required tree density, they must be of a species and size as set
forth in the Table of Trees approved by the Planning Commission and kept on file in the office of
92

Item 3.
SB-26-02 Bay Village Planned Neighborhood Design – Preliminary Subdivision Plan Review
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 11
the city planner or be of an alternate species found acceptable by the Commission. The
Landscape Plan depicts the planting locations of a mix of canopy, evergreen, and understory
trees with shrubs to be planted along street frontages of lots and in open space areas.
Wetlands & Buffering
The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §11.22 prescribes provisions related to wetland areas. It
requires setbacks from wetland areas that are over 0.25 acres in size. This plan depicts Non-Tidal
wetlands which coincide with the Little River/Tax Ditch system on the west and south property
lines. A 100-foot setback is required; however, this can be reduced to 75 feet when adjacent to
single-family detached dwellings or to 50 feet with implementation of a Riparian Buffer.
Adjacent to the wetland/stream the plan shows buffer areas where existing woodland and other
vegetation will be maintained.
IX. CITY AND STATE-CODE REQUIREMENTS:
The subject proposal has been reviewed for code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness
in accordance with this agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following items have been
identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant.
1) The Planning Commission must make a recommendation on the Subdivision Waiver
Request for the elimination of the Alley for Lots 1-20. The Subdivision Waiver Request will
be forwarded to City Council for review and final action.
2) Townhouse Lots 1-20 currently comply with the other rear emergency access requirements
by proposing to utilize the required fire protection measures for townhouses and the “open
rear yard” provisions. This information should be clearly depicted on the plan in notes and
diagrams to ensure implementation. Any revisions may require additional review or a waiver
request submitted for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council.
3) The data column on all plan sheets will need to be updated prior to Final Approval with the
following:
a) Any changes recommended, waivers granted, or other approvals by the Planning
Commission and other Committees acting upon the waiver requests.
b) Clarify approval of the previous waivers related to the adjustments for minimum lot
area, average lot area, lot width or any other requirements for which a waiver request
has been approved.
4) Plan Sheet C-001 Data Column:
a) Item 12 has been updated to add a row for the average minimum lot area per dwelling
unit which is shown as 1,600 SF for proposed townhouses in the PND. Please provide the
calculations used to obtain that as the average value for the proposed lots.
b) Trash and Recycling service for the residential Townhouse units can be provided by the
City of Dover. These services include a monthly fee that is included on the monthly
utility bill.
c) Update the data columns on the plan sheets to reflect SWPOZ (Source Water Protection
Overlay Zone: Tier 2 – Primary Wellhead Area).
d) Check General Notes listing as some notes as written seem to apply to commercial projects
such as signage (no pylons allowed for this project), addressing number size, etc. Update
to apply to residential development.
93

Item 3.
SB-26-02 Bay Village Planned Neighborhood Design – Preliminary Subdivision Plan Review
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 12
5) Plan Sheets C-101, C-201, C-202, and C-301:
a) Update the 100-year floodplain label on the proposed legend to include symbology to
distinguish it from the symbology for current 100-year floodplain symbol (location as
per FIRM Panel vs. proposed location upon LOMC/CLOMR submission). Also note on
sheets of information on CLOMR and LOMC review and status.
b) As noted on Plan Sheet C-002 Traffic Impact Study comment #5.c, a fifteen-foot-wide
easement along the edge of the ROW for White Oak Rd. should be dedicated to DelDOT
- a ten-foot-wide shared use path should be included in the easement area. While the
plan sheets show the location for the share use path, the certain plan sheets do not
delineate the easement location. The easement location should be added along the
property edge with White Oak Road on the plan sheets as easements will need to be
recorded as part of the Record Plan.
6) Plan Sheet C-202:
a) The minimum required off-street parking dimensions are nine (9) feet in width and 18
feet in length. Please provide dimensions and labels for the required off-street parking in
the Typical Townhouse Cluster schematic for the alley-loaded and front-loaded
configurations. Also clarify paving material.
7) Plan Sheets L-100 and L-101
a) Ensure that the locations of street trees do not interfere with utilities or sidewalk.
b) Trees should be clearly placed on individual lots; the plan shows a number of trees on the
property lines.
c) Add note that indicated that the trees in the entrance median of Bayhaven Way will be
responsibility of the Homeowners Association and not the City of Dover.
d) Specify how existing trees to be preserved will be protected during construction by
protecting dripline areas during excavation and storage of materials Article 5 §16.81. These
are in notes listing but should be clearing reference on clearing plan and Landscape Plan.
e) The appropriate design professional seal, signature and certification statement must be on
the Landscape Plan. An engineer cannot seal these plan sheets.
8) Identify the location, direction, power, and time of use of any proposed outdoor lighting.
Article 10 §2.54. Streetlights are required for the streets and alleys per the Electric Departments
provisions of spacing and type.
9) For proposed Lots 1-20 on Quietwater Road:
a) The off-street parking spaces must be fully on the parcel. Add measurements on each
set to provide dimensions.
b) Identify the location of trash and recycling can storage for these Townhouse units. Rear
storage may not be feasible for the interior lots.
10) Ensure the location of the U.S. Postal Service cluster mailbox location on the plan sheets does
not impede the sidewalk and is accessible.
11) In areas where on-street parking will be employed, extend curbing and sidewalk to shield the
beginning and ending of these parking areas from traffic entering the street; this appears to be
shown on the plan. Applicants will also need to include No Parking sign locations to the
94
Página 95
Item 3.
SB-26-02 Bay Village Planned Neighborhood Design – Preliminary Subdivision Plan Review
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 13
Signage Plan along proposed segments that cannot accommodate parking on one or both sides
of the street.
12) Identify the White Oak Tax Ditch centerline and maintenance area on all sheets. No structures
are permitted within the Tax Ditch maintenance easement. Clearly identify on Record Plan
sheets.
13) Streets should be identified by name both for ease of reference and for preliminary submission
to the Kent County Mapping/ 911 Addressing Section for review to ensure they do not conflict
with existing street names. The City of Dover will also review the proposed street names.
14) Alley names must be revised to comply with the City of Dover naming convention for alleys,
which are named to relate to the nearby street names. The Department of Public Works will
need to confirm these for the Alleys: Softwind Alley revise to Bayhaven Way Alley East;
Sunset Alley revise to Heronwatch Drive Alley North; Sedge Alley revise to Heronwatch Drive
Alley South; Tanglewood Alley revise to Quietwater Road Alley West; Osprey Alley revise to
Quietwater Road Alley South; and Eveningtide Alley revise to Seagrass Lane Alley South.
15) Include a description of all deed restrictions and covenants, existing or proposed. Article
10 §2.52.
16) A sealed Certification of Accuracy and a Certification of Ownership must be included on the
Final Record Plat and Final Construction Plans.
17) The proposed street section, layout, and details must be reviewed by the Department of Public
Works.
18) Entrance plans and permits approved by DelDOT are required prior to initiating any work
within the White Oak Road right-of-way, including entrances to the project site.
19) Proposed homeowners’ association documents shall be drafted and provided for review and
compliance with Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix A – Subdivisions (Land Subdivision
Regulations), Article VII.B.
20) If preliminary layout approval is obtained, the applicants will prepare and submit a plat plan
in accordance with Land Subdivision Regulations, Article IV.C. This will be the Record Plan
document.
X. RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS TO MEET CODE
OBJECTIVES:
The Land Subdivision Regulations, Article I. Purpose, indicates that the regulations are adopted
in order to promote and protect the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare;
ensure the orderly growth and development of the City, the conservation, protection and proper
use of land, and adequate provision for housing, recreation, circulation, utilities and services; and
safeguard the City from undue future expenditure for the maintenance of streets and public
spaces.
1) This Subdivision Plan generally complies with the Land Subdivision Regulations and with
the provisions for development of a Planned Neighborhood Design project. The Planning 95
Página 96
Item 3.
SB-26-02 Bay Village Planned Neighborhood Design – Preliminary Subdivision Plan Review
DAC Report of June 3, 2026
Page 14
Commission approved the Alternative Design Standards proposed for the Townhouse
dwelling units as part of C-26-02 for lot width and lot area.
a) The Planning Staff continues to encourage a great mix of housing unit types and/or
formats for this development. Offering one story unit options allows for accessibility
options.
b) The Planning Staff recommends a greater mix of architectural features for the Townhouse
units, especially those that are street corner end units located on larger lots.
c) As-built surveys will be required for end-unit homes within the subdivision as they are
shown to have very tight footprints.
2) Consideration of Subdivision Waiver for Elimination of Alley for Lots 1-20: This plan
design for Bay Village PND seeks to eliminate the Alley for Townhouse Lots 1-20. Planning
Staff does not recommend approval of this Subdivision Waiver to eliminate the Alley finding
that it also affects compliance with Rear Emergency Access provisions, limits the design of
utility services, poses difficulties in storage and collection of trash and recycling containers,
and general appearance of the properties. Planning Staff finds that revising this area to a
different house type such as Duplex units or single-family detached units which don’t require
an alley is a better solution.
a) If the Planning Commission recommends a waiver of the requirement for a rear alley, this
waiver should address storage and screening of trash and recycling containers, especially
for the interior units.
3) Compliance with Rear Emergency Access for Lots 1-20 Alternative Access: The proposed
Townhouse Lots 1-20 currently comply with the other alternate Rear Emergency Access
requirements for Townhouse units. Revised information provided will need to be part of the
plan to ensure compliance as a “fire protected” townhouse and to confirm understanding and
compliance of the “open rear yard” provisions.
Planning Staff encourages pursuing alternative building designs, such as Duplex lot or
Single-Family Detached units, that do not require rear alley access, which could address
several related issues. Providing a greater mix of housing types (aligning with the PND
purpose) could meet the needs of residents including those that require a single floor layout
due to accessibility needs. Other unit types could provide greater accessibility to areas for
utility connection or trash/recycling storage formats which may not be possible with
townhouse designs that lack garages or other similar enclosures adjacent to the street.
4) Public Transit: The applicants should identify how future residents could access public transit
as part of the lot and street layout to address stated design goals in the 2019 Comprehensive
Plan, as noted below:
“If there is residential development on the Lands of Bay Village, the City shall ensure
that the development of the Bay Village site proceeds as a master planned community
with transit access and bicycle and pedestrian amenities both within the site and
connecting with Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center and other areas to the
west”.
5) Staff recommend exploring the opportunities for participation in a Stormwater Management
District for this subdivision to assist with future long-term maintenance of the stormwater
facilities.

Other agencies may recommend additional conditions and safeguards in accordance with their
areas of expertise. The Recommended Additional Considerations to Meet Code Objectives are
offered for consideration by the Planning Commission.
XI. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) The Subdivision Waiver Request is required to be considered by the City Council following a
recommendation from the Planning Commission.
2) This development is near the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center where the City
of Dover has recently completed a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) related to the Garrison Oak
Drive entrances. As there are requirements for improvements along the White Oak Road
corridor, coordination is required between the City of Dover, DelDOT, and this development.
3) In the event that major changes and revisions to the subdivision plan occur in the finalization
of the plan, contact the Department of Planning and Inspections. These changes may require
resubmittal for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or
other commissions making recommendations in regard to the plan.
4) The Preliminary Subdivision Plan submittal for Planning Commission review and approval is
the third step in the Planned Neighborhood Design process. If approved a Final Record Plat
with associated Construction Documents will be required as the next step in this process.
Following Planning Commission approval of the Subdivision Plan, the Plan must be revised
to meet all conditions of approval from the Development Advisory Committee or as
otherwise noted. A Check Print must be submitted for review by Planning Office Staff and
other agencies. Upon determination that the Plan is complete and all agency approvals have
been received; copies of the Record Plan must be submitted for final endorsement prior to

City of Dover Planning Commission
Subdivision Plan Review
SB-26-02 Bay Village Residential Planned Neighborhood Design: Subdivision Plan
The site plan includes many of the improvements necessary for a walkable neighborhood. The
sidewalk network extends throughout the neighborhood, and there are also crosswalks at each of
the intersections. Crosswalks should always be accompanied by ADA curb ramps to provide
accessibility for pedestrians. Along the property’s frontage with White Oak Road, a shared use
pathway is proposed, as well as striping for bicycle use. One improvement not shown in the plan
is a crosswalk running across White Oak Road and connecting to Garrison Oak Drive. This
improvement should be included, as it would provide pedestrians with a safe connection to the
sidewalks on the north side of the road. A set of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs)
would also be beneficial towards safety at this location.
In terms of vehicular connections, the site plan includes two proposed entrances to the
neighborhood. This will help improve access between White Oak Road and the neighborhood,
reducing congestion during peak hours, while also having benefits for emergency vehicles. The
stub street on the south end of the property is also useful, as it will allow for the creation of new
connections with adjacent parcels in the future. It is recommended that signage be added at the
114
Página 115
Item 3.
stub street that reads “Street Connection to Future Development”, which will indicate to
residents the planned use of the stub street.
The inclusion of rear-lot alleys in the plan is something Dover Kent MPO supports. This feature
will have numerous benefits for the neighborhood, such as increased front yard green space, an
improved pedestrian environment, rear-lot access for off-street parking, and more streamlined
trash storage and pick-up. Rear-lot alleys, if implemented properly, are ideal for high-density and
attached housing communities such as this.
The curbing within the neighborhood should consist of “Type 1” vertical curbs that are 6” in
height. The use of this type of curbing should be specified within the site plan. Vertical curbs are
an important measure for preventing vehicles from parking on the sidewalks, which will help in
keeping the pathways clear for pedestrian use. By contrast, continuous “Type 2” roll curb will
enable cars to park on the sidewalk, and so it should not be permitted in this situation.
It should be noted that the parcel to the west of the subject property is featured in the Dover Air
Cargo Freight Access Study, which examined possible transportation improvements needed to
support economic growth on the east side of SR1 between Dover Air Force Base (DAFB) and
White Oak Road. The Horsepond Road Extension, one of the recommended projects, would
extend Horsepond Road between White Oak Road and S. Little Creek Road. The northern
terminus of the road would connect with the western entrance to Garrison Oak Business and
Technology Center.1 Once completed, this project is expected to help take trucks off of local
residential roads in Dover. It is currently included in DelDOT’s Capital Transportation Program
(CTP), and it is in the Preliminary Engineering (PE) phase. Although the project will not conflict
directly with the subject property, compatible uses should be kept in mind throughout the
process. White Oak Road is a minor collector road that sees considerable truck traffic headed to
and from Garrison Oak, which emphasizes the need for sidewalks along the property’s frontage
and other necessary safety improvements.
Finally, site plans within proximity to Dover Air Force Base should avoid conflicting uses. These
may include building tall structures, creating glint and glare (such as from lighting, solar fields,
and artificial bodies of water), attracting large numbers of migratory birds, and operating
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the area. Conflicting uses are described in greater detail in
the 2023 Dover Air Force Base Compatible Use Plan.2 Note that even if the subject property
does not fall within the DAFB Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ), the applicant should
work closely with DAFB throughout the process to ensure the planned uses will be compatible
with Base operations.
If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the
above contact person and the Planning Department as soon as possible.

Re: Bay Village PND - Waiver Request for Rear Alley Requirement (Lots 1-20)

Dover, DE 19903
Tax Parcel #04-05-06800-01-0600-00001
Verdantas Project Number 34677
Dear Ms. Melson-Williams:
On behalf of the Bay Village project, we respectfully request a waiver from the requirements of
Appendix A, Article VI, Section 13.8 of the City of Dover Zoning Ordinance, which requires all
townhouses to be provided with rear access alleys unless the Planning Commission finds that
alleys are infeasible for the development or that the design of the townhouses precludes their
suitability. This waiver request applies solely to Lots 1 through 20 within the Bay Village
development.
Rear access alleys for these lots are infeasible and unsuitable due to site-specific design, lot
configuration, and circulation constraints. These lots are bounded by White Oak Road and by
the newly developed subdivision street. The proposed townhouse layout for Lots 1–20 fronts an
internal roadway and is configured to function with front-loaded access. Introducing rear access
alleys would require additional right-of-way width, pavement, and grading that would disrupt the
planned site layout and result in inefficient circulation and unnecessary impervious coverage.
The design addresses emergency access concerns through a continuous 16-foot-wide open
rear yard along Lots 1–20. This open rear yard provides clear and unobstructed access for
emergency response and maintenance purposes while avoiding the impacts associated with a
paved alley. The units will also have firewalls between units as well as non-combustible
exterior siding on units 1-20 meeting Article 5, Section 17 of the Zoning Ordinance. Adequate
vehicular, pedestrian, and emergency access is maintained through the proposed design.
In response to City staff comments regarding refuse handling, the updated plan includes a
designated pedestrian access system to the rear of the lots. A walkway will be provided to allow
residents of interior townhouse units to access the rear yard area. This feature will enable
owners to easily transport their refuse containers from the front to the rear of their units. Trash
and recycling containers will be stored in the rear yards and will be appropriately screened to
minimize visibility and maintain the overall appearance of the development. This approach
provides a functional and visually appropriate solution for refuse storage and collection without
116
Página 117
Waiver Request: 34677 Item 3.
April 30, 2026 – Revised June 4, 2026
the need for a rear alley. Importantly, this setup eliminates the need for owners to trespass on
adjoining lots, allowing everyone to manage their refuse containers comfortably and respectfully.
Utility services will be accommodated through the proposed front-loaded design and
coordinated within the internal street network, consistent with the remainder of the development.
The proposed layout maintains adequate access for service providers without the need for
additional rear infrastructure.
The proposed layout for Lots 1–20 is consistent with the purpose and intent of the RM-2 zoning
district and aligns with the code-compliant design approach utilized for the remaining
approximately 230 residential units within the Bay Village development.
Approval of the requested waiver will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or welfare,
nor will it negatively impact adjacent properties or the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed
design provides adequate access, circulation, emergency accommodation, and functional
solutions for refuse storage and utilities while maintaining a cohesive development pattern. For
these reasons, we respectfully request that the Planning Commission find that rear access
alleys are infeasible and unsuitable for Lots 1–20 and approve a waiver from the requirements
of Appendix A, Article VI, Section 13.8 for this limited portion of the Bay Village project.
Thank you for your consideration. Please contact us should you have any questions or require
additional information.

Verdantas Project Number 34677
Dear Ms. Melson-Williams:
Lots 1–20 of the Bay Village development have been designed in consideration of the
requirements of Article 5, Section 17 of the City of Dover Zoning Ordinance, which governs
emergency access and fire lane provisions.
In lieu of traditional rear access alleys, the proposed design for Lots 1–20 incorporates open
rear yard areas that provide clear and unobstructed access for emergency response activities.
This design approach maintains effective emergency access consistent with the requirements of
the code while avoiding the operational and physical constraints associated with paved alley
construction.
The site layout demonstrates that the units on Lots 1–20 are supported by compliant emergency
access through a combination of internal roadways and direct rear yard accessibility. The open
rear access, while not required, will be designed per figure 17.1 of Dover code to provide a
“subgrade emergency access” to provide a supported subgrade section for fire apparatuses,
reinforcing consistency with code expectations.
Additionally, these 20 units will be utilizing non-combustible siding along with fire rated party
walls between each unit as required by this portion of the code. Accordingly, the Lots 1–20
layout exceeds the requirements of Article 5, Section 17 by providing safe, reliable, and
unobstructed emergency access, while supporting the overall design objectives of the Planned
Neighborhood Development.

Item 3.
From: Kathy home
To: Savage-Purnell, Maretta; Melson-Williams, Dawn
Subject: EXTERNAL: comments on Application SB-26-02 Bay Village Residential Planned Neighborhood Design
Date: Wednesday, May 27, 2026 7:42:51 AM
You don't often get email from kathyud99@aol.com. Learn why this is important
WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open
attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
I am a homeowner in Dover and I live within 1.5 miles of the proposed SB-26-02 Bay
Village Residential Planned Neighborhood Design.
I would like to express my opposition to the waiver request for the "emergency
rear access." Given the quantity of residents (not including guests), the potential for
loss of life in a situation where the primary entrance is blocked is too great to provide
a waiver on this safety measure.
The emergency rear access is not simply for convenience - it's a life saving measure.
It's a standard of neighborhood designs and should not be considered an afterthought
or optional. It was also noted in the design that there is a floodplain in the
neighborhood so if there is a flood event, it's even more important to have emergency
access to the area.
Please stand up for the City code and enforce the requirement of an emergency rear
access - someone's life may depend on it.

uses in certain zones and adding supplementary regulations by which these facilities must
abide. The zoning districts for clean hydrogen production facilities include the M
(Manufacturing Zone), IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone), IPM2 (Industrial Park
Manufacturing Zone – Business and Technology Center), and IPM3 (Industrial Park
Manufacturing Zone – Industrial Aviation and Aeronautics Center). Ordinance #2026-10.
File Number: MI-26-06 Text Amendments: Clean Hydrogen Production Facilities
Ordinance Number: #2026-10
I. BACKGROUND ON DEVELOPMENT OF TEXT AMENDMENTS
The proposed ordinance amendments to the manufacturing related zones (M, IPM, IPM2, and
IPM3) address the City Code revisions needed to allow the manufacturing of clean hydrogen in
pursuit of the Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub (MACH2) initiative within the City.
CLEAN HYDROGEN
The recently released 2025 Delaware Climate Action Plan includes strategies related to clean
hydrogen production. In particular, regarding clean hydrogen, it is noted that Delaware is
exploring the potential uses of hydrogen and that it is the production method of hydrogen fuel that
matters. It further states that “only clean hydrogen produced by methods that generate little to no
greenhouse gas emissions should be advanced as part of Delaware’s strategies to reach net-zero
emissions”. The following graphic provides further information regarding clean hydrogen.

SAFETY
Today, more than 100M metric tons of hydrogen are manufactured throughout the world as a clean
energy source. Electrolytic hydrogen is a clean manufacturing process with essentially no waste
materials in production. There is NO toxic smoke, soot, or secondary combustion products.
Hydrogen is fourteen (14) times lighter than air and readily disperses thus reducing accumulation
risks. Although hydrogen has a similar safety profile to natural gas, there are physical differences
between hydrogen and natural gas which require different engineering controls, detection and
operating practices which are well established in the United States. In fact, there are 1,600 miles
of operating hydrogen pipelines in the American Gulf Coast.
MACH2
MACH2 represents a significant opportunity to position Delaware, and Dover specifically, at the
forefront of clean energy innovation and advanced manufacturing. As part of a federally supported
network of hydrogen hubs, this initiative connects Delaware with southeastern Pennsylvania and
southern New Jersey to strengthen regional competitiveness while accelerating the transition to
low-emission energy sources. By leveraging Delaware’s established manufacturing base and
strategic location, MACH2 enhances energy resilience, reduces environmental impacts, and
creates a foundation for long-term, sustainable growth.
STATE OF DELAWARE SUPPORT
The State of Delaware has demonstrated strong, bipartisan support for MACH2 across multiple
administrations, recognizing its potential for innovation, economic development, and clean energy
production. Delaware actively pursued this designation in partnership with the Delaware
Prosperity Partnership, with support from the Governor’s Office and federal delegation, including
funding for feasibility studies and targeted marketing. Securing a role in MACH2 against strong
regional competition was a major achievement and the current Meyer administration continues to
advance the effort through cabinet-level leadership and over $1M in direct support for early-stage

implementation. This sustained commitment underscores the importance of enabling projects at
the local level.
CITY OF DOVER ECONOMY
Due to its central location in Delaware, the City of Dover has the opportunity to be the first Clean
Hydrogen Manufacturing site in the State and the region. This delivers substantial economic and
community benefits while supporting safe, modern industrial development. The project will
generate significant private investment, create hundreds of construction jobs, and establish new
permanent skilled positions (approximately thirty-five), while also attracting related industries to
the area. Updating City Code to allow hydrogen and oxygen production will enable the
deployment of advanced, proven technologies that operate with minimal emissions and strong
safety controls. Taking this step positions Dover to capture immediate economic benefits while
establishing itself as a leader in the emerging clean energy economy.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2026-10
The proposed ordinance adds clean hydrogen production facilities into the manufacturing and
industrial zoning districts (zones) and defines them. It is noted that other zoning districts such as
the Airport Environs Overlay Zone (Article 3, Section 22) and the Source Water Protection
Overlay Zone (Article 3, Section 29) may also determine the compatibility of the clean hydrogen
production facilities and the location of such facilities. The development and construction of clean
hydrogen production facilities will be subject to other provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, State
regulations, adopted Building Codes as well as Fire Codes for plan and permit review.
II. TEXT AMENDMENT REVIEW PROCESS
As part of the process of developing the proposed ordinance amendments, review was performed
by the City Solicitor in addition to City staff. The formal review process for Text Amendments to
the Zoning Ordinance is outlined in the City of Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix B – Zoning,
Article 10, Section 5. Amendments. Because these are Text Amendments proposed to the Zoning
Ordinance, a Public Hearing and Recommendation by the Planning Commission is required. This
review process began when the proposed Ordinance was presented as a Draft Ordinance to the
Council Committee of the Whole – Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee. It was
then forwarded from the Committee and submitted to the City Council for First Reading on May
11, 2026. The City Council has referred the Ordinance #2026-10 to the Planning Commission for
a Public Hearing and consideration on June 15, 2026. Then it is scheduled for Final Reading,
Public Hearing and Final Action by Council on July 13, 2026. At the meeting the City Council
may act to adopt the whole Ordinances, to reject it, or to adopt the Ordinances with amendments.
Legal Advertisements were published in the Daily State News on May 29, 2026 and June 5, 2026
giving notice and participation information for the Public Hearings as scheduled.
III. RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING STAFF:
Review and Recommendations:
As part of the process outlined in Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 Section 5, the City Planner must
evaluate the following factors when preparing a report on the text amendment request:
Article 10 § 5.22 City planner report. For each proposed zoning text amendment, the city
planner shall issue a report to the planning commission and city council, including comments
from other reviewing agencies, that evaluates the following factors:
148
Página 149
MI-26-03 Text Amendments: Clean Hydrogen Production Facilities
DAC Report Summary of June 3, 2026 Item 4.
Page 4 of 6
(A) Whether such change is consistent with the aims and principles embodied in the ordinance
as to the particular zones concerned; and;
(B) Whether proposed amendment is consistent with the aims of the comprehensive plan of the
city.
The City of Dover developed the subject Ordinances in response to the State and regional efforts
related to the clean hydrogen industry and the MACH2 program as described above. In developing
the Ordinances, the principles and aims of the Zoning Ordinance and the 2019 Comprehensive
Plan were considered.
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan includes Chapter 10: Economic Development Plan which discusses
industrial areas in the City (pages 10-4 to 10-7) and the planning for the City’s Economic Future.
The following are some of the related goals of this Chapter (pages 10-22 to 10-26):
Goal 1: Attract and Retain High -paying Quality Jobs by
Targeting Business Sectors that are Best Suited for Dover and
Kent County
Successful economic development requires understanding the economic environment,
determining opportunities and targets, developing a sound marketing and promotional
strategy, and establishing the mechanisms necessary for business retention and recruitment.
Goal 4: Ensure that Land Development, Zoning, Infrastructure
and Other Development Requirements Encourage the Economic
Development and Uses Desired
Sound economic development and redevelopment is a balance between business
opportunities and those regulations and processes designed to promote safe, well-designed,
well-planned communities. The intent is to strike that balance between the proper exercise
of public policy and a sustainable and viable economy.
Recommendation 10: Review and Modify Regulations to ensure that Desired
Uses Are Encouraged
• Be flexible with contemporary zoning provisions that are responsive to emerging
technologies and emerging business opportunities and activities, especially in the
health care, arts and entertainment, and tourism sectors.
• Implement appropriate zoning and other provisions that support development and
expansion of targeted businesses, ensure the appropriateness of uses within
respective zones, promote sustainability, encourage balanced growth, promote
small businesses and startups, and ensure responsiveness to emerging economic
and societal trends.
• Update provisions addressing the growing variety and complexity of home
occupations and accessory business activities in residential areas as the line
defining traditional work evolves.
• Actively pursue development of ordinances, policies and strategies to address
blight, vacancy, abandonment, environmental contamination, and underutilization
of business sites and facilities throughout the City.

Page 5 of 6
Goal 5: Actively market the Garrison Oak Business and
Technology Center (GOBTC)
Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center (GOBTC) is a City-developed business-
ready facility in the City well-suited for larger and technology focused enterprises to help
balance the City’s options for economic development and job creation. Capitalize on the
GOBTC’s broad appeal to a larger universe of potential business activities consistent with
the original intent of the facility and with the IPM2 zoning district.
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 12: Land Development Plan discusses goals for various
land use types (Land Use Categories). Relative to the proposed Ordinance, the following sections
apply. In relation to Industrial Land Uses, they are discussed in the Employment Centers segment
(page 12-16 to 12-18).
In relation to Employment Centers, the Plan includes the following goal and policies (page 12-
17):
Goal: Employment Centers
Create a more vibrant, growing economy with a broader range of job opportunities through
collaborative efforts to market the region, identify potential targets, and respond to
opportunities to foster an increase in office and industrial development in appropriate and
designated areas.
Policies: Employment Centers
1. Protect existing industrial, office park and manufacturing establishments from
encroachment by incompatible land uses which could result in nuisance complaints,
hazardous situations, and human conflict.
2. Provide sufficient land area for industrial purposes to enable the expansion of existing
industries, the establishments of new facilities, and revitalization of underutilized older
industrial sites.
3. Provide for a variety of office park and industrial development opportunities through
the designation of areas for small, medium and large establishments within planned
industrial parks.
4. Promote alternative modes of accessibility including pedestrian and bicycle facilities,
bus shelters and transit stops, and provide incentives for car and van pooling of
employees.
5. Create flexible and contemporary industrial zoning provisions that reflect emerging
trends in uses, facilities, and business opportunities to meet future needs.
The Planning Office finds that the proposed Ordinances are consistent with the aims and
principles of the Zoning Ordinance and the zones specifically addressed, as well as with the
goals and policies of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan.
Additionally, the following advisory items are noted.
1) The Planning Office provided an opportunity for the Development Advisory Committee
(DAC) members to comment on the proposed Text Amendments at their meetings on
150
Página 151
MI-26-03 Text Amendments: Clean Hydrogen Production Facilities

May 27, 2026 and June 3, 2026. Several Departments/Agencies which participate in the
DAC process provide comments of “no objection” with regard to the proposed Text
Amendments. It is noted that some of these Departments participated in the research into
the development of the proposed ordinances.
2) The Proposed Ordinance is also subject to Legal Review by the City Solicitor, which may
identify additional clarifications or corrections.
3) The approval of these Text Amendments does not authorize the establishment of the
regulated uses at any specific location. Prior to the establishment of a use, the appropriate
applications for site development activity plan review, Building Permits, and other
construction activity Permits, Business and Occupancy Licensing, etc. of the City of
Dover are required.
V. PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW FOR RECOMMENDATION
This is a request for a zoning text amendment which revises the text in the Zoning Ordinance.
The Planning Commission as part of their public hearing and review process will provide a
recommendation on the zoning text amendment request to City Council. As part of the process
outlined in Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 Section 5, the Planning Commission must evaluate the
following factors when considering the request:
Article 10 § 5.23 Report of the planning commission. Regarding each proposed amendment to
the ordinance text, the planning commission shall provide a report to the city council stating a
recommended action with regards to the proposed amendment, along with the commission's
evaluation of the following factors:
(A) Whether such change is consistent with the aims and principles embodied in the ordinance
as to the particular zones concerned; and
(B) Whether such proposed amendment is consistent with the aims of the comprehensive plan
of the city.
A Recommendation Report from the Planning Commission will be forwarded to the City
Council for their consideration of the Text Amendment Application.
