That from and after the passage and approval of this ordinance the Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance of the City of Dover have been amended by changing the zoning designation from RG-O (General Residence and Office), subject to H (Historic District) to IO (Institutional and Office), subject to H (Historic District) on that property located at 45 South State Street and South American Avenue, consisting of two (2) parcels of land (0.32+/- acres and 0.49+/- acres) totaling 0.81+/- acres, owned by Wesley College, Inc. (Tax Parcels: ED-05-077.05-04-33.00-000 and ED-05-077.05-04-36.00-000; Planning Reference: Z-19-02; and Second Council District) ADOPTED: MARCH 11, 2019 PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2019-07 - REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED 157 ROOSEVELT AVENUE A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property located at 157 Roosevelt Avenue, consisting of 1.641+/- acres, owned by Paul and Linda Schreppler (equitable owner: Miller Investments, LLC). The property is currently zoned R-8 (One-family Residence) and the proposed zoning is RG-2 (General Residence) (Tax Parcel: ED-05-077.18-02-75.00-000; Planning Reference: Z-19-03; Council District: 2). Mr. Neil moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2019-07 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of January 28, 2019.) Planner's Review Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the petition to amend the zoning district and the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission. He noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request. Public Hearing Council President Slavin declared the public hearing open. Mr. David Miller, Miller Investments, advised that he was the equitable owner of the property and that he was there to answer any questions. Mr. Neil, referencing the report of the Planning Commission, noted the issue of dealing with the mobile homes that may be moved into the neighboring community. He also advised that he inspected the property and the rise in the ground above street level could be a problem. Mr. Neil said that it was his hope that the developer could work the issues out with the residents. Responding, Mr. Miller stated that he had been attempting to work with the neighbors since he looked at this property and has had a number of meetings with the owner of the mobile home park and with her counsel. Mr. Miller advised that he had made a couple of proposals to them and is waiting to hear back from them. He stated that he had his engineer develop two separate designs, one trying to accommodate their concerns, and he advised that he was always open, and ready and willing to make it work for everybody in the neighborhood. Mr. Paul Schreppler, part owner of the property, advised that he was present to answer questions.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 11, 2019 PAGE 7 Ms. Nicole Faries, Esquire, Baird Mandalas Brockstedt, LLC, advised that she was present representing Riverside Mobile Home Park and that her client was opposed to the rezoning, noting that they are very concerned that they will feel boxed in if this zoning is changed. She stated that it is currently permissible to develop a single family residence on the property. Ms. Faries advised that she went to the property herself and the east portion of the property actually falls off and goes into the river with a significant drop. She stated that they have been working with Miller Investments to try to figure out if there is a way to make this work between the two properties, because their concern is that they have the curved driveway, but there is a sewer easement that goes on the east side of the property, and it is over that easement that they actually transport larger mobile homes in and out of the park. Ms. Faries indicated that there are six empty lots currently and one home that needs to be replaced, so there are seven potential placements, and they do not want that restricted in any way. Ms. Faries stated that she has also learned that, in emergencies, emergency equipment blocks the entrance and the only way for residents to get in and out is actually to travel across the empty lot. She stated that they do believe they have an easement by necessity in addition to their recorded sewer easement against the property. Ms. Faries stated that they have not yet filed legal action and that they are hoping not to. She indicated that Mr. Miller was waiting on a counter-proposal from them; however, because the area is so tight, they do not know how to make a counter proposal. Ms. Faries provided an aerial view of the area (Exhibit #1). Ms. Faries stated that the proposed residential medium density zone talks about a maximum density of eight dwelling units per acre and she suggested that the usable property is about one acre and 22 units well exceeds that. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Faries stated that they would also object to a fence around a single family home if it impeded the recorded easement. She stated that the ingress and egress that was established when the park was first built is a curved entrance that the homes cannot get across. There being no one else present wishing to speak, Council President Slavin declared the hearing closed. Mr. Neil moved for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and, by a unanimous roll call vote (Cole and Sudler absent), Council adopted Ordinance #2019-07, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 157 ROOSEVELT AVENUE WHEREAS, the City of Dover has enacted a zoning ordinance regulating the use of property within the limits of the City of Dover; and WHEREAS, it is deemed in the best interest of zoning and planning to change the permitted use of property described below from R-8 (One-family Residence) to RG-2 (General Residence).

That from and after the passage and approval of this ordinance the Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance of the City of Dover have been amended by changing the zoning designation from R-8 (One-family Residence) to RG-2 (General Residence) on that property located at 157 Roosevelt Avenue, consisting of 1.641+/- acres, owned by Paul and Linda Schreppler (Equitable Owner: Miller Investments, LLC). (Tax Parcel: ED-05-077.18-02-75.00-000; Planning Reference: Z-19-03; and Second Council District) ADOPTED: MARCH 11, 2019 ANNEXATION/REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2920 NORTH DUPONT HIGHWAY, OWNED BY NEWWIND PROPERTIES 2920 LLC Council President Slavin advised that the applicant had requested that the Public Hearing and final action on the annexation be postponed. Staff recommended that the public hearing for the annexation and rezoning be rescheduled for Monday, April 22, 2019. Mr. Neil moved to reschedule the public hearing for the annexation and rezoning of 2920 North DuPont Highway for Monday, April 22, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. PRESENTATION - 2018 ANNUAL REPORT - DOVER POLICE DEPARTMENT Police Chief Marvin Mailey reviewed the highlights of the 2018 Annual Report for the Dover Police Department. Mr. Polce, noting the spike in criminal activity, stated that it was his opinion that it highlights an individual and active addictions behavior. He asked if the drug overdoses were being classified as fatal and nonfatal overdoses. Chief Mailey stated that he could provide that information. He noted that EMS and the Dover Fire Department are also responding to a lot of the overdoses and all of the officers are carrying Narcan now. Chief Mailey advised that they looked at what some of the other agencies are doing as far as having a counselor ride with an officer; however, that presented a lot of problems for them and they are not ready to participate in that program. He suggested that once he is fully staffed in the community policing unit he could devote a community policing officer to it that does not have to handle traditional calls. Mr. Polce stated that he wrote the grant with the Health Management Association that allowed Smyrna to participate in the embedded program and he strongly recommended that the City be a bit bold and figure out how to make a program like that work because it is demonstrating high efficacy, not only in New Castle County, but Smyrna is seeing the instant benefit, and he knows that more departments will be coming on line very shortly. Mr. Polce reiterated that it is a great opportunity for Dover. Mr. Polce asked if the Angel Program had a focus in pre-arrest diversion or if it was strictly post-arrest aversion. Responding, Chief Mailey stated that it has a pre-arrest aspect of voluntary participation. He noted that when someone turns their drugs in they are not charged and they are

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 11, 2019 PAGE 9 vetted for counseling. He noted that if an officer encounters someone who has committed a crime, they have to take enforcement action, so they might issue a civil citation, and if that person's problem stems from drugs and they express an interest in receiving some addiction counseling, they send them to Connections for help. Responding to Mr. Polce, Chief Mailey stated that they work with all of their partners at the local, state, and federal level to track the origin of seized drugs. He advised that he has an officer assigned to the DEA task force who is also assigned to just overdose cases. Mr. Anderson pointed out that while many of the numbers have edged up slightly, most of the numbers are low and some of them are four or five year lows, and they are still lower than previous years. Chief Mailey noted that shootings have dropped from 20 shootings in 2017 to 16 shootings in 2018 and the department is doing a phenomenal job. Mr. Anderson asked how succession planning was going. Responding, Chief Mailey stated that 17 officers were eligible to retire, with most of them being sergeants and above. He noted that promotions would fill any vacancies and then there would be voids in the patrol shift. Chief Mailey advised that he has worked with the City Manager about possible increases. In response to Mr. Anderson, Chief Mailey advised that they had three individuals starting in the academy on the following Sunday and four had just graduated. Mr. Lindell stated that he was glad that the report highlighted the increase in traffic enforcement and citations. He advised that he concurred with Mr. Polce on being bold and more proactive and asked what challenges he saw with an embedded social worker riding along with police that the other departments have not looked at. Responding, Chief Mailey stated that one of the problems that they saw was the liability factor of a councilor riding with an officer. He explained that if an officer should have to go to a hot complaint, like an active shooter, they cannot take the councilor into that environment. He also noted that there is a certain amount of follow-up required on the part of the councilor and that takes that officer out of his workflow for the shift. Chief Mailey stated that there are also State approved mobile crisis counselors that can come to the scene, meet the officer, and then they do a hand off for mental health services or committals. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Chief Mailey advised that all officers are receiving crisis intervention training and there is good representation on every shift. He stated that they also have crisis negotiation officers who are highly trained to de-escalate situations. Chief Mailey noted that when they became involved with the the Angel Program, all of the officers were trained in narcotics addiction, protocol, how to deal with those situations, and what services are available through Connections. They also recceive online training occasionally from the State or from other sources. Mr. Lindell asked if there was any data on when police are called out to tax exempt properties within the City. Chief Mailey stated that the data could be extracted. Mr. Lindell asked how many actual officers are on the street at any given time. Chief Mailey stated that they are currently staffed at 98 active officers and they have three vacancies and three people are going through the six month academy.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 11, 2019 PAGE 10 Mr. Hare, noting that budget hearings were coming up, asked if Chief Mailey thought they were going to request officers. Chief Mailey replied that he would be requesting four officers. Mr. Hare suggested that it would not be beyond the scope to consider adding six or seven for public safety. Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the report, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. SPECIAL DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION REPORT - JANUARY 17, 2019 A Special Dover Human Relations Commission (DHRC) meeting was held on January 17, 2019 at 6:10 p.m. with Mr. Gaddis presiding in the absence of a chair.

He noted that People's Place introduced methods of mediation and tactics from the extensive training to become mediators. Those in attendance were given examples of mediation sessions that enabled two (2) opposing sides to present their views and reach a mutual agreement. Ms. Mullen added that the training was very informative and helpful in understanding the process of mediation. Submissions for 2018 Annual Report to Council Mr. Fleming stated he would like to add information to the annual report regarding the conflict resolution training he attended. He stated the training was two (2) to three (3) hours long, but that it was very good and that he learned a great deal. Mr. Fleming noted that there were a few lawyers there that were not necessarily in favor of conflict resolution because it cut out that portion of the situation. The Commission recommended that Mr. Gaddis draft the 2018 Annual Report to City Council.
