S-15-12 Blue Hen Apartments Phase 2: Active Recreation Area Plan Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee Meeting of September 14, 2015 Page 2 of 7 Project History and Summary The Blue Hen Apartments Phase 2 is being reviewed as a Site Development Plan. The first phase of the complex Village at Blue Hen Apartments was constructed under Site Plan S-07-57 which outlined the development of thirteen (13) apartment buildings consisting of a total of 162 residential units (apartments) and a clubhouse building. The subject area for Phase 2 consists of portions of multiple parcels of land that will be ultimately be consolidated into a single parcel of land for the entire apartment complex. The Site Plan is to permit the construction of twelve (12) apartment buildings for a total of 192 units. This review is for the Active Recreation Plan. Active Recreation Area Plan Summary The Zoning Ordinance requires an Open Space and Active Recreation Plan for all residential developments, projects and plans that come before the Planning Commission (Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix B, Article 5 §10). Previously for the Blue Hen Apartments (Phase 1), an Active Recreation Area Plan was reviewed in 2007 and ultimately approved for construction. The approved Plan includes 49,223 S.F. (1.13 ac +/-) of land reserved as Active Recreation Area. The Active Recreation Areas are in a central location on the site. The included amenities are a clubhouse with swimming pool, play area with swing set, play structure and benches. A future basketball court was shown on the Phase 1 Active Recreation Plan but was not subsequently constructed, but its location is an open lawn area that could be utilized for play. Overall, 40,750 S.F. of Active Recreation Area was constructed of the 44,500 S.F. required. As part of the Site Plan review process for the development of Phase 2, the applicant prepared a Conceptual Recreation Plan (presented on the Landscape Plan sheets) which illustrates how this phase of the Blue Hen Apartments development will provide recreation amenities in accordance with the design specifications described in Article 5, Section 10 of the Zoning Ordinance. Phase 2 Active Recreation Area Focusing on the Phase 2 land area specifically, based on the proposed total of 192 residential dwelling units, it is required to have 52,800 S.F. (1.21 ac +/-) of active recreation areas. The submitted plan shows that the total apartment complex (Phase 1 & Phase 2) after Phase 2 construction will provide Active Recreation Areas totaling 97,750 S.F. (2.24 acres +/-). Information on the Active Recreation Area is found on Plan Sheets labeled “LS-1” and “LS-2 Tree Density Plan.” Amenities of the Active Recreation Area Design The amenities constructed and implemented in Phase 1 will be available to residents of Phase 2. The proposed new amenities for the Active Recreation Area (Phase 2) include: • Volleyball Court (sand) • Two Corn Hole courts • Walking path five (5) feet wide totaling approximately 1,425 linear feet

S-15-12 Blue Hen Apartments Phase 2: Active Recreation Area Plan Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee Meeting of September 14, 2015 Page 5 of 7 Staff Recommendations: The following are comments and recommendations from Staff of the Department of Planning & Inspections and the Parks & Recreation Department following review of the Active Recreation Area for the Blue Hen Apartments Phase 2. 1. Revised Active Recreation Design - Staff is generally supportive of the overall concept to provided additional amenities in the established area around the existing clubhouse and pool site in Phase 1. The existing central location is logical and generally convenient to residents of Phase 1. There are details related to trail and sidewalk connectivity and the overall layout of Phase 2 that make the pedestrian accessibility between Phase 2 and the clubhouse/pool site less apparent. Additional detailed comments are found below. At the time of report preparation, Staff continues to work with the applicant to refine details of the Active Recreation Area Plan and the overall Site Plan to be presented to the Planning Commission. Additional comment regarding these and other issues is provided in the Development Advisory Committee (D.A.C.) report to the Planning Commission. 2. Upon review of the overall concept for the Active Recreation Area and with consideration given to the overall circulation and layout of amenities the following revisions to the plan are recommended: a. The proposed 5-foot path as it traverses the triangular area behind the existing daycare center facility will require rerouting. The path as shown conflicts with plans to relocate the playground associated with the daycare center. b. While the daycare center facility is separate from Blue Hen Apartments, staff advises particular attention be paid to improve and ensure pedestrian accessibility to the facility from within the apartment complex. c. Further south, staff has concerns about the routing of the 5-foot path and potential conflicts with grading plans for the swale running between Phase 1 and Phase 2. d. In the area of the three (3) buildings on Phase 2 located farthest south, staff recommends an additional route that crosses to access the 5-foot path that leads to the clubhouse area. At present the current path requires using the sidewalks along the building fronts, walking north to the entry drive, then backtracking south. The proposed swale or graded area poses a circulation barrier to the southernmost buildings of Phase 2. e. Related to (c.) staff recommends at least two (2) sidewalk connections that connect the building frontage sidewalks to the 5-foot path which runs behind the buildings. Such connections should be placed between selected buildings, and there should be at least one (1) such connection located both north and south of the entrance driveway leading from the Blue Hen Corporate Center parcel. f. Provide an accessible path from the sidewalk to one of the cornhole courts. g. Clarify the relationship of the planned 5-foot path where it extends toward the playground and appears to terminate. Staff advises revising graphics to better identify connections to existing sidewalks and paths. h. Provide connections from existing sidewalks in Phase 1 to the 5-foot path at the following points: Plumage Ct, Kearnsey Ct, Kimberton Ct, Long Island Ct. There are several points where the path passes within 20 feet or less of existing sidewalks.

S-15-12 Blue Hen Apartments Phase 2: Active Recreation Area Plan Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee Meeting of September 14, 2015 Page 6 of 7 3. The following items should be clarified or included on the Plan as related to placement and construction of the recreation area improvements: a. A schedule of the proposed features needs to be provided on the Active Recreation Plan (i.e. the number of benches, grills, fixtures, equipment). b. Bicycle parking as required by code is not presented on the Active Recreation Area Plan or the Site Development Plan. Show bicycle parking on the plan to include devices near the volleyball court, playground, and clubhouse. c. Barbeque grills are noted on the submission letter but cannot be located on the Plans. Label them or provide a symbol legend. d. Fixed and sturdy picnic tables are recommended adjacent to grills. Include at least one (1) ADA accessible table in a suitably accessible location. e. Add park benches at cornhole and volleyball court areas. f. Indicate the dimensions and area of the volleyball court and cornhole courts. g. Identify the placement of any trash cans and the location of a dumpster enclosure that services the clubhouse building and leasing/management office. h. Signage is suggested to identify building names, key entry points, and directional signage to amenities. i. As noted in the D.A.C. Report, provide an overall Layout, Striping, and Signage Plan for the site to note traffic stops, pedestrian crossings, and traffic controls. j. Confirm the orientation of the North arrow. 4. The Landscape Plan with tree plantings and landscaping will need revision as related to site changes presented in the submitted Site Development Plan: a. Existing trees and vegetation shown along the western edge of Phase 1 and between Phase 2 conflict with the grading plans for this area. b. The Landscape Plan must clearly identify the quantity and type planned for removal and a plan for 1-for-1 replacement. c. Arrange tree plantings to provide shade at key locations near amenities (i.e. playground area, picnic/grill areas.) 5. Ensure barrier free access is provided at all sidewalks where they intersect with streets and parking lots. Ensure accessible sidewalks lead to all amenities (i.e. building access points, game court surfaces, parking areas, etc.) 6. Provide construction and material details including but not limited to: sidewalks, walking path, game court surfaces, benches, bicycle racks, dumpster enclosure, etc. 7. Refer to other comments in the D.A.C. Report regarding Plan presentation and coordination with other Site Plan details (match lines, surrounding parcels, other). 8. The applicant is reminded of the requirements for construction phasing of the recreation area as associated with the development of the residential units. Article 5 §10.6 Construction Phasing. The recreation and open space areas shall be completed in a proportion equal to or greater than the proportion of residential dwelling units completed, except that one hundred (100) percent of the recreation and open space areas shall be completed prior to issuing building permits for the final twenty (20) percent of the dwelling units proposed. Building permits shall not be issued for dwelling units

S-15-12 Blue Hen Apartments Phase 2: Active Recreation Area Plan Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee Meeting of September 14, 2015 Page 7 of 7 unless the requirements of this section are met. 9. There shall be provisions which insure that the common open space lands shall continue as such and be properly managed and maintained. The developer shall either retain ownership and responsibility for maintenance of such open land; or provide for and establish one (1) or more organizations for the ownership and maintenance of all common open space i.e. a Homeowners Association. The organization shall be responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes on the common open space. a. Provide information on any agreements established regarding responsibilities for construction, landscaping, maintenance, etc. for the open space areas with the TND project. b. Staff notes that the Active Recreation Areas will not be dedicated to the City of Dover. 10. In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Plan occur in the finalization of the Recreation Plan or Site Plan contact the Department of Planning and Inspections. Examples include reorientation of elements, relocation of site components, etc. These changes may require resubmittal for review by the Parks Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee, Development Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making recommendations in regards to the plan. 11. The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any ground disturbing activities on the site the appropriate site inspections and permits are required. The applicant shall be aware that Recreation Plan approval does not represent a Building Permit and associated construction activity permits. A separate application process is required for issuance of a Building Permit from the City of Dover. The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee shall submit to the Planning Commission a report detailing the recommendations as to the Recreation Area Plan. Following Planning Commission review of Active Recreation Area Plan associated with the Site Plan for the Blue Hen Apartments, the next step is finalization of the Site Plan set.
