REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on August 26, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Bonar presiding. Council members present were Mr. Dixon, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Perza, Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Williams, and Mr. Hutchison. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Hare were absent. Council staff members present were Police Chief Hosfelt, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Koenig, Mrs. Townshend, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Carey was also present. OPEN FORUM The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting. Council President Bonar declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that Council was not in official session and could not take formal action. Ms. Desiree Berry, 1558 Cypress Branch Road, advised members of a recent incident involving her vehicle being vandalized and, since there was profanity, she felt that it should be considered a “hate crime.” After further explanation of the incident, Council President Bonar explained that the property was located outside of the City of Dover limits; therefore, City Council would have no jurisdiction and suggested that she contact the Kent County Levy Court and the Kent County Planning Department. The invocation was given by Reverend Theodore Henderson, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the consent agenda, seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Hare absent). ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2013 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of August 12, 2013 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Slavin, seconded by Mr. Dixon and bore the written approval of Mayor Carey. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT - AUGUST 12, 2013 The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on August 12, 2013 with Chairman Dixon presiding. Amendment to the 2013 Community Development Action Plan Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Planner I, reminded members that the 2013 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Action Plan was approved with an estimated allocation due to having not received the actual grant allocation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) until May 29, 2013. This was after the City’s submission deadline of May 15th for the Action Plan. She stated that the estimated allocation anticipated a 5% reduction in funding from the prior year,

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 2 based on the guidance provided by HUD. The CDBG program was not cut as anticipated; therefore, the actual allocation exceeded the estimate used to develop the Action Plan. She advised members that the difference between the estimated HUD allocation and anticipated program income used to develop the Action Plan ($223,563) and the actual allocation ($244,815) was $21,252. She explained that the additional funding should be allocated among the funded projects, which would result in an amendment to the Action Plan. Staff recommended increasing the funding for Program Administration to 20% of the allocation and dividing the remainder of the funding among the FY 2013 projects, excluding those projects that were fully funded, as follows: CDBG FY2013 Current Recommended Recommended Funded Projects Funding Level Increase Funding Level Program Administration $44,713 $ 4,250 $48,963 NCALL Research $ 6,034 $ 2,900 $ 8,934 MHDC Homeowner Rehab $32,658 $ 7,051 $39,709 Elizabeth W. Murphey School $32,658 $ 7,051 $39,709 Total $21,252 The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Hare absent). Semi-Annual Review - Statistics Regarding Jobs and Businesses Gained and Lost in the City of Dover Since July 2012 Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Director, reviewed the semi-annual report of employment statistics for the 15 largest employers in the Dover area and reminded members that this information is updated and presented to members on a semi-annual basis. The report provided statistics regarding jobs and businesses gained and lost in the City of Dover since July 2012. Mr. Neaton noted that Bayhealth Medical Center (Kent General and Milford) was the premier healthcare provider in central Delaware and the second largest healthcare system in Delaware. He stated that as a result of its continued growth, Bayhealth now had over 3,200 employees. In addition to hiring additional employees, he advised members that Kent General Hospital created a “fit out” plan for the shell space on the fourth floor of their new building to increase the number of available beds. Mr. Neaton indicated that gross patient revenue was expected to be close to $1B and net patient revenue was expected to be approximately $500M. As mentioned previously, Mr. Neaton explained that the decrease in the number of permanent employees of the Hotel and Casino at Dover Downs was the result of competition from surrounding states that had recently approved legalized gambling. Mr. Neaton advised members that the increase in employees at Kraft Foods was the result of their securing Kool-Aid operations in Dover.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 3 Mr. Neaton stated that a few large, future employers would be coming to Dover, noting that Dick’s Sporting Goods was expected to open in October/November 2013 at the Dover Mall, and the Green Turtle was currently renovating a building and would add approximately 60-70 new part-time and full-time jobs, once opened. He also informed members that the final authorization for the sale of Lot #12 at the Garrison Oak Technical Park (GOTP), for a manufacturing facility, was scheduled for consideration by City Council at their meeting being held later in the evening. Mr. Caldwell noted that concerns were relayed during the last report regarding several large commercial buildings being vacant in the City of Dover. Responding, Mr. Neaton indicated that there had been no changes in regard to this issue. However, he stated that City Council had authorized an incentive for vacant buildings which would allow tax abatement over a ten (10) year period when a certain amount of money is put into a building for improvements. In addition, he stated that the City had the ability to abate 50% of permitting and impact fees. He stated that he meets with commercial realtors on a regular basis and assured members that they are working hard to fill these buildings. In response to Mr. Caldwell, Mr. Neaton noted that there was an 80% fill rate in the buildings located in the downtown area. In regard to the approximately 300 jobs starting up within the City limits that was reported at the last review, Mr. Neaton stated that these were construction jobs for the Calpine Project and that the minutes of the meeting reflected a $3M to $4M project; however, he stated that the Calpine Project is actually a $300M project. He indicated that this project was currently undergoing active construction and that he recently took executives from the DuPont Company on a tour of the Dover SunPark and to the construction site. Mr. Caldwell noted that it was previously reported that the ILC Company moved its facilities to Sussex County and questioned why. Responding, Mr. Neaton indicated that the primary reason was that relocation reduced the cost of the facility by one-half. He assured members that the move was not due to tax or utility rates, which he stated were very good in the City of Dover. Responding to Mr. Dixon, Mr. Neaton explained that the City of Dover had active code enforcement for vacant properties. Elaborating, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, confirmed that a City employee was dedicated to vacant building issues. She stated that his primary focus was monitoring the buildings, assuring payment of fees, and registration and management of properties (for example, monitoring grass cutting and building security). With regard to concerns about the effect that an additional grocery store would have on Food Lion in the Gateway West Shopping Center, Mr. Neaton felt confident that there was enough business on the west side of Dover to accommodate two (2) grocery stores. He noted that Redner’s is a new grocery store, located at the Greentree Shopping Center. No further action was required.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 4 By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Hare absent). UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - AUGUST 12, 2013 The Utility Committee met on August 12, 2013 with Chairwoman Williams presiding. Request for Abandonment of Right-of-Way (Unimproved) - Overlook Place/Adoption of Resolution No. 2013-21 Setting a Public Hearing for September 9, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that a letter was received from Mr. Michael P. Bouchard, 126 Overlook Place, dated November 13, 2012, requesting the abandonment of an unimproved portion of the Overlook Place right-of-way within the Overlook on Silver Lake Subdivision. He stated that the area extends approximately 30' from the eastern edge of public improvements within the right-of-way and that Mr. Bouchard requested that this area be disposed of in its entirety to his parcel at 126 Overlook Place. Mr. Bouchard indicated that this area is poorly maintained and that it would be a benefit to the community if this area was disposed of to the property owners for proper maintenance. As a result, a letter was sent to the other adjacent property owner, Ms. Chu Pao Robinson of 125 Overlook Place, to determine her interest in participating in the abandonment and having a portion of the right-of-way conveyed to her. Mr. Koenig stated that both adjacent property owners were interested in participating in the abandonment. Public Works’ staff confirmed that this area was unimproved; however, if abandoned, public utility easements would be required for the existing water and wastewater infrastructure located therein. He noted that the right-of-way for Overlook Place is 51’ wide and, in accordance with City policy, half of the right-of-way, or 25.5’, would be conveyed to the requesting parties. Mr. Koenig assured members that staff had no objections to the abandonment of the subject right-of-way and recommended conveyance of 25.5’ of said right-of-way to 125 and 126 Overlook Place with the stipulation that a public utility easement be retained for each parcel. Members were provided a map depicting the right-of-way proposed for abandonment (noted in red). Staff recommended the following action: 1) abandonment of the subject right-of-way with conveyance of 25.5’ of said right-of-way to 125 and 126 Overlook Place, currently owned by Chu Pao Robinson and Michael P. Bouchard, respectively, in conjunction with the provision of a public utility easement for each parcel; and 2) adoption of a resolution by Council setting a public hearing regarding the proposed abandonment for September 9, 2013. The committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation and adoption of a resolution by Council setting a public hearing regarding the proposed abandonment for September 9, 2013, as recommended by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation for the abandonment of the subject right-of-way with conveyance of 25.5’ of said right-of-way to 125 and 126 Overlook Place, currently owned by Chu Pao Robinson and Michael P. Bouchard, respectively, in conjunction with the provision of a Public Utility Easement for each parcel and adoption of Resolution No. 2013-21, setting a public hearing before City Council regarding the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 5 proposed abandonment for September 9, 2013. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon and by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Hare absent), Council adopted Resolution No. 2013-21, as follows: A RESOLUTION PROPOSING THE VACATING AND ABANDONMENT OF A CERTAIN RIGHT-OF-WAY SITUATED IN THE CITY OF DOVER. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: Section 1.

The above described parcel of land shall be considered a public utility easement, reserving the rights of the City of Dover, their agents or assigns to free access for ingress and egress to these premises and every part thereof at all times for purpose of installing, maintaining and operating its existing public utilities. Adjacent to 126 Overlook Place (ED-05-068.09-01-48.00) Beginning at a point identified as the northeast corner of parcel #ED-05-068.09-01-48.00; thence running North 00 degrees 47 minutes 50 seconds East 25.50 feet along the easterly line of a 51' wide public right-of-way to a point in the same; thence running North 89 degrees 12 minutes 10 seconds West 30.00 feet to a point in the same; thence running South 00 degrees 47 minutes 50 seconds East 25.50 feet to a point in the northerly property line of parcel #ED-05-068.09-01-48.00; thence running South 89 degrees 12 minutes 10 seconds East 30.00 feet to the point and place of beginning and containing 0.0176 acres (765.00 square feet) of land be the same more or less.

Section 2. The Council of the City of Dover will sit on Monday, September 9, 2013, at 7:30 p.m., in the Council Chambers at City Hall, Dover, Delaware, to hear the objections of such residents of the City or owners of the property affected as shall attend, in accordance with the provisions of Section 27 of the Charter of the City of Dover (Chapter 158, Volume 36, Laws of Delaware). Section 3. The Clerk of Council is hereby directed to post copies of this Resolution in five (5) or more public places in the City of Dover. ADOPTED: AUGUST 26, 2013

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 6 TEA/NAES Report (May) The TEA/NAES Monthly Report for May 2013 was provided to members to enable them to monitor electric sales and revenues received, which will provide a better understanding of any fluctuations that occur and allow the opportunity to make improvements if deemed necessary. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, noted that last year overall power supply costs were $668,296 under budget due to the lower than budgeted cost of energy purchases. He stated that moving into Fiscal Year 2014, the margins and differential were tightening as a result of power supply budgets, hedge purchases, etc.; therefore, the expectation was that there would be a much smaller spread between the budgeted versus actual amounts. In response to Mrs. Williams regarding the projected hedge variance, Mr. Koenig stated that the numbers being used for financial forecasting were the budgeted amounts for power purchased. He explained that the actual numbers were currently tracking just slightly lower than these figures. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, indicated that the unhedged amount is included in the PJM charges and, as more hedges are filled in, that number would decrease and the hedge number would increase. She stated that until the hedges are all filled in, the City would not know the final amounts and stated her hope that the hedge ratios would change in the City’s favor over time. Responding to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig stated that the hedge ratios were locked in at the figures listed in the report through 2015-16 and the portfolio target was to have approximately 80% hedged for the current year. In the past, this percentage had been in the high 80s and possibly up to 90% but had been decreased to take advantage of favorable purchases in the spot market since the City’s transition to TEA. He indicated that this matter was being analyzed on a monthly basis. The Committee recommended acceptance of the TEA/NAES Monthly Report for May 2013. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Hare absent). UPDATES Members were provided the following updates: Green Energy Funding and Programming Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a summary of Green Energy Funding and Programming. He reminded members that this is a continuous, revolving fund since there is a green energy component to each City utility bill; therefore, money is collected and put into this fund for these types of projects. He advised members that the funding reimbursement was lagging behind implementation of some of the projects since the “flow” into the fund is slower than the “flow” out of the fund at times. No further action was taken by the Committee.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 7 Update - National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that staff would be meeting with representatives of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) within the next few weeks to discuss the procedure for renewing the City’s permit relative to the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4). He advised members that the current permit expired and DNREC had not issued new permits. Mr. Koenig stated that future staffing issues for the permit were being reviewed, which would probably include efforts from the Public Works and Planning Departments. He noted that this permit would serve as the foundation document for how the City designs the Street Department and addresses storm sewer cleaning, street construction, and reconstruction, etc., since the permit requires constant review and maintenance relative to the quality of stormwater that falls on road infrastructure and the way it falls through the City’s storm sewer infrastructure. He stated that, as a result, staff would need to determine ways to embed the requirements of this permit into the City’s daily operations. Mr. Koenig advised members that a large component of how the City complies at this time involves street sweeping, maintenance of roads to avoid potholes and deterioration, etc. Although Dover does not have large geographic differences in heights that would cause damage from stormwater, some projects, such as the replacement of the Tar Ditch stormwater interceptor, etc., would be worked into the permit in order to comply - not only for maintenance but improvement of the systems. In some instances, it would include pond maintenance and retrofits, how park systems are run, and private property maintenance involving construction controls, etc. Mr. Koenig explained that this is a comprehensive permit that has the ability to dictate how the City conducts business as it relates to construction matters of this nature. Calpine Energy Center and Garrison Oak Technical Park Project Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the City had been participating in weekly meetings and telephone conference calls with the Calpine Energy Center. Most of the review related to the Site Plan approval had been completed. Since this was a component of the Garrison Oak Technical Park, he stated that a meeting was held last week with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to discuss delivery schedules of the large turbine items and other items associated with the Energy Center. He advised members that beginning in late fall, there would be a constant stream of equipment deliveries, some by barge into the Leipsic area as well as by oversized trailer hauling, into the Garrison Tract to begin assembly of the fixed components of the combustion turbine. Mr. Koenig noted that the City was attempting to finalize the design aspects of the Garrison Oak Technical Park so that the bid package for the street, water main, gravity sewer main, and storm sewer system could be let out to bid. He stated that a meeting was held last week with DelDOT to finalize the tie-ins for the water system on White Oak Road that would occur in the DelDOT right-of-way. While this design was being completed, Penonni Associates was finalizing the design of the sanitary sewer pump station, to be located in the center of the Garrison Tract land, and the force main, to be located south of White Oak Road over to White Oak Station #5.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 8 Mr. Koenig noted that during the City Council Meeting scheduled for later in the evening, Council would consider the final package of sale for Lot #12 at the Garrison Oak Technical Park. If this project were to come to fruition, construction would begin on the west side of Garrison Oak. He stated that discussions had been held with another potential tenant at the Park and that activity at the Park had generated additional interest from buyers and companies wishing to locate their facilities there. In response to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Koenig stated that when the City begins construction on the road, these efforts will be concentrated on the east side, which is the shortest distance back to the Calpine project. Once the storm sewer, gravity sewer, water main, and road bed are completed on the east side, construction traffic would be switched over to the east side so that construction could begin on the west side without interfering with daily construction traffic. Coordinated efforts would be required between the City, the City’s contractor, DelDOT, Calpine, and all delivery contractors to ensure that they do not interfere with each other. It was hoped that there would be evening and weekend work while all the components were being pieced together. As a result of the delivery route, Mr. Koenig stated that roadway improvements may be made to Route 9 and/or along roadways outside of City limits in order to accommodate the anticipated oversized and supersized loads delivering to Calpine; however, this had not been finalized. Responding to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig stated that 85%-90% of the rights-of-way had been acquired to accommodate the transmission line from the energy block at the Garrison Tract to the Cartanza Substation. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Koenig indicated that Calpine had acquired almost all permits necessary to complete the project; however, a final Site Plan approval letter from the City would be required, which was almost complete. Although filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) would be required, this would be the responsibility of Eastern Shore Natural Gas. He stated that the only remaining issues were the right-of-way alignments for the line going to the 230kV and an Administrative Site Plan from the City to Kent County to amend the 230kV tie to accommodate the expansion of the fence and the new equipment for Delmarva Power. As a result, he felt confident that there were no impediments to obtaining all approvals necessary to finalize the Energy Center. Mr. Koenig anticipated that all pending issues would be finalized prior to the end of the year. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Hare absent). MONTHLY BUDGET REPORT - JUNE 2013 By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for acceptance of the Monthly Budget Report for June 2013, seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Hare absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 9 QUARTERLY REVIEW OF CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN (CIP) (APRIL, MAY, AND JUNE) Members were provided a Project Tracking Report, as of June 30, 2013, for the Capital Investment Plan (CIP). By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Review of the Capital Investment Plan (April, May, and June), seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Hare absent). PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT FOR SALE OF LOT #12 - GARRISON OAK TECHNICAL PARK (GOTP) During their Regular Meeting of August 12, 2013, City Council approved the final authorization for the sale of Lot #12 in the Garrison Oak Technical Park, as outlined and including the conditions set forth in the memorandum dated August 12, 2013, with the stipulation that the sunset on the “clawback” provision would require the company to make the City financially whole at a rate of 100% up to 15 years and at a decreased percentage for each year thereafter (year 16 - 90%, year 17 - 80%, etc.) up to 25 years, and that office space be provided from the City’s inventory of available office space, excluding the Dover Public Library. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, explained that following Council’s authorization, he redrafted an Offer Memorandum to the Uzin Utz Manufacturing Corporation of North America and a telephone conference was held with Mr. Utz and his attorney on August 13th to discuss the parameters of the authorization provided by City Council. He stated that Mr. Utz relayed concerns regarding the “clawback” provision as revised by City Council and requested reconsideration of Council’s revision. For reference purposes, he provided members a spreadsheet that included a comparison of the “clawback” provision as recommended by the City Manager and City Council, as well as information regarding the tax abatement and estimated utility revenue (Exhibit #1). Mr. Koenig advised members that initially, the “clawback” clause discussion began at a 10-year span and was negotiated to 15 years based on mutual discussion. The attorney for Mr. Utz indicated that although a 25-year clause was not unheard of, it was outside the range of a typical “clawback” clause and, as such, had caused Mr. Utz concern with respect to the business transaction. As indicated on the spreadsheet provided, he noted that the value of the “clawback” had been calculated to be approximately $315,044 for the first 15 years. During the first 15 years, he stated that the City would receive property taxes, inclusive of the abatement schedule, in the amount of $200,944. In addition, the City would collect an estimated $1,019,236 in revenue for water, sewer, and electric, based on the projected utility profile. He stated that the City had been requested to consider the value of the original “clawback” provision and reverse the 25-year “clawback” clause to the original proposal of 15 years and execute the transaction as previously negotiated with Mr. Utz. He noted that the declining years, from year 16 through 25, represented a 10% de-escalation over the additional 10-year timeframe. Mr. Koenig indicated that staff had been diligently working on the development of business relationships with economic development prospects and felt that the negotiation process required a great deal of trust on both sides in order to present a final proposal before City Council. He was not sure what effect the “clawback” provision would have on the final outcome; however, he stated that

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 10 it was a matter of much concern for Mr. Utz when discussed with staff during the review of the revised offer. As such, he stated that Mr. Utz had requested that staff request City Council to reconsider that specific issue. Mr. Koenig emphasized that this transaction was much different than that of a private transaction, explaining that in a private sale, the income gained would be based on the land transaction. Although there would be revenue for the City of Dover associated with the land transaction, there were other revenues to be considered, such as property taxes and utilities. He explained that the City’s revenue stream would be generated after the land transaction, so while the sale of the land was important to the City, consideration should also be given to the revenues provided by property taxes and utilities. As an example, Mr. Koenig stated that a smart phone service provider will sell the phone itself substantially discounted, with the understanding that the fees for providing the service were the means of generating revenues. He stated his understanding that the attorneys were in the process of preparing the agreement for execution and the “clawback” provision must be resolved before it can be finalized. Staff recommended that City Council approve the initial 15-year “clawback” provision. Mr. Hutchison felt that if City Council was working toward economic development and the creation of jobs in the City, members must make some concessions and urged members to support the original 15-year “clawback” provision. Mr. Slavin moved for approval of staff’s recommendation for the 15-year “clawback” provision. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes (Dixon, Lynn, Slavin, Williams, Hutchison, and Bonar), one (1) no (Perza), and two (2) absent (Anderson and Hare). REZONING REQUEST/FIRST READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2013-14 - 109 EAST DIVISION STREET, OWNED BY LEG HALL, LLC (RHETT RUGGERIO) A request was received to rezone property located at 109 East Division Street, owned by Leg Hall, LLC (Rhett Ruggerio). The property is located on the north side of East Division Street between Pennsylvania Avenue and Maple Lane. The property is currently zoned RG-1 (General Residence) and H (Historic District) and the requested zoning is RG-O (General Residence and Office) and H (Historic District). In accordance with Article 10 §5.7, of the Dover Code, the RG-O zoning classification is a closed zone except in the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area. It was noted that the property is within the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area as defined in Appendix C of the Dover Code. Prior to amending the zoning ordinance and zoning map of the City of Dover, a public hearing is required. By motion of Mr. Slavin, seconded by Mr. Hutchison, Council unanimously referred the rezoning request to the Planning Commission on September 16, 2013 and set a public hearing before City Council for October 14, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment (Proposed Ordinance #2013-14) as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 11 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 109 EAST DIVISION STREET. RECONSIDERATION OF AGENDA ITEM #6 - PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT FOR SALE OF LOT #12 - GARRISON OAK TECHNICAL PARK (GOTP) Mr. Perza requested the opportunity to reconsider Agenda Item #6 regarding the proposed amendment to the contract for the sale of Lot #12 at the Garrison Oak Technical Park (GOTP). Mr. Lynn moved to reconsider Agenda Item #6, seconded by Mrs. Williams. Responding to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig stated that the only issue being presented to Council relative to the contract for the sale of Lot #12 at the GOTP was the “clawback” provision. All other provisions would remain the same as approved by City Council during their last meeting. Mr. Perza relayed his desire for the City Manager to move forward without having City Council micro-manage the negotiation process. He requested that members provide the City Manager unanimous consent to negotiate on the 15-year “clawback” provision that was originally presented to City Council during their last meeting on August 12, 2013. On a call for the question by Mr. Lynn, the motion to reconsider Agenda Item #6 was carried by a roll call vote of five (5) yes (Dixon, Lynn, Perza, Williams, and Bonar), two (2) no (Slavin and Hutchison), and two (2) absent (Anderson and Hare). In response to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig stated that Mr. Bill Neaton, Economic Development Director, had held conversations with additional employers interested in having facilities located at the GOTP; however, none of these discussions had reached the City Manager’s Office because the negotiations for land transactions had not begun. Although he felt that the other potential purchasers would have an interest in the action that was taken on previous sales, he reiterated that each transaction would be independent, in his opinion. Considering that the sale of Lot #12 was the first land transaction, he felt that the latitude was significant; however, as the GOTP begins to build and there is additional interest, he did not feel that there would be any preconceived expectation that such latitude would extend unless it were the desire of City Council. Mr. Koenig stated that the only flexibility he was provided in the negotiations was related to the cost of the land and any type of “clawback” clause, explaining that the tax abatement and hiring of employees were set by Dover Code and that the utility revenues are based on the City’s current rates. Concurring with the concerns of Mr. Perza, Mrs. Williams felt it was City Council’s responsibility to ensure that each land transaction is negotiated in the best interest of the City of Dover with the most benefit to be provided to its citizens. Mr. Perza moved to approve the City Manager’s proposal for the 15-year “clawback” provision, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes (Dixon, Lynn, Perza, Slavin, Williams, and Hutchison) and two (2) absent (Anderson and Hare).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 12 COUNCIL MEMBERS’ ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Hutchison announced that a public hearing had been scheduled for the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting scheduled for August 28, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. regarding left-turn restrictions from Loockerman Street onto Governors Avenue. Mrs. Williams advised members that Aid in Dover, Inc. was planning to partner with the Dover Housing Authority on September 20th and 21st for a sneak peak of a program called “Hot Shots.” She explained that the Hot Shots Program was an activity-based program for girls and guys, ages 12-17. The first day would consist of sign-ups from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (September 20th) and instruction in game play with high school basketball rules. Coaches would be instructing the youth on the various positions of play. The tournament was scheduled to begin on September 21st, at 12:00 noon at the Boys and Girls Club gym at Simon Circle. She stated that flyers were available and that anyone interested should contact her. Mr. Lynn mentioned that it was “Women’s Equality Day,” which commemorated the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granting women the right to vote. On August 26, 1920, more than 26 million women had their citizenship affirmed and gained a mechanism to empower themselves, their families, and community. By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. TRACI A.

MEMORANDUM Department of Planning and Inspections P.O. Box 475 Dover, Delaware 19903 Phone: 302.736.7196 Fax: 302.736.4217 Date: August 15, 2013 To: City Council From: Ann Marie Townshend, AICP RE: 29 & 37 South New Street, 20 North New Street – Violation of Dangerous Building Ordinance On July 8, 2013, the Code Enforcement Division and Fire Marshal’s Office conducted inspections of 29 South New Street, 37 South New Street, and 20 North New Street. City inspectors identified numerous code violations during these inspections, many of which have been chronic violations found in prior years’ inspections. Each year, violations are corrected, only to be found again in subsequent inspections. On these properties, violations were initially reported following inspections on April 24, 2013. Staff allowed sufficient time to correct the violations; however the violations were still present during the July 8, 2013 inspection. Due to the repeated lack of compliance with code requirements, including life safety requirements, the Department of Planning and Inspections ordered the building to be vacated and closed on July 25, 2013. This action was taken in accordance with Dover Code, Chapter 22 – Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XI – Dangerous Buildings, Section 22-382 (2). The House of Pride has appealed this order to City Council in accordance with Dover Code Chapter 22 – Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XI – Dangerous Buildings, Section 22-384 (5)(d).

EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Preliminary estimate is $15,000 $20,000. AMOUNT BUDGETED: $140,000 Budgeted for all demolitions Citywide in the FY-2014 Budget; $50,917.50 remains in line item as of August 30, 2013. FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): 110-1600-534-30-33. TIMETABLE: As soon as possible. RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Declare this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous. 2. Order the property repaired or demolished by October 9, 2013 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk. 3. Order the Building Inspector to cause the repair or demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council. 4. Order the City Manager with the assistance of the City Solicitor to cause the cost of repairs or demolition to be charged against the land on which the building exists as a municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The property is owned by Clarence L Stevenson & Others. The property is a two-story wood-framed single family home. The electrical service was terminated on 10/11/12. During a follow up inspection on 11/26/12, several individuals were found in and around the home. The property was condemned and boarded on 12/4/12. Since that time, boards have been removed and staff has had to search the interior for possible trespassers. The property has been resecured by City staff. There are numerous code violations that exist on the property.

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: City Council DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Planning & Inspections DATE SUBMITTED: August 30, 2013 PREPARED BY: Ann Marie Townshend, AICP, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: 123 Blue Beach Drive, Dover, Delaware – Violation of Dangerous Building Ordinance REFERENCE: Chapter 22, Article XI – Dangerous Buildings, Sec. 22-385 - Hearing before Council and Chapter 22, Article XI - Dangerous Buildings Case # 12-773 RELATED PROJECT: N/A APPROVALS: EXHIBITS: PowerPoint Presentation and File Photos to be presented at the Council meeting. EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Preliminary estimate is $10,000-18,000.

FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): 110-1600-534-30-33 TIMETABLE: As soon as possible. RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Declare the pool and pump house on this property dangerous. 2. Order the pool and pump house demolished by September 24, 2013 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk. 3. Order the Building Inspector to cause the demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council. 4. Order the City Manager with the assistance of the City Solicitor to cause the cost of repairs or demolition to be charged against the land on which the structures exists as a municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The property is owned by Deborah Statler. The in-ground pool is concrete and is located in the rear yard along with the pump-house. The pool and pump-house have twice previously been presented to City Council as a dangerous structure, and there are code violation cases over the past ten years involving the swimming pool. The most recent dangerous building action by City Council was April 23, 2012. After the last Council hearing in April, Ms. Statler did bring the pool into code compliance and properly covered the pool in November of 2012. Since that time, the pool cover has been collecting stagnant water and appears to have a hole in it. The stagnant water is not only a health hazard by attracting larges amounts of misquotes, but is a breeding ground for them. The pump does not appear to be in running order and the pump house continures to deteriorate from lack of maintenance. This pool has had a long and chronic history of code violations. Any compliance that is achieved has been short-lived. The pool has been a source of neighbor complaints since 2002.

PETITION TO AMEND AND ZONING DISTRICT Public Hearing before the City Council September 9, 2013 Applicants/Owners: KW Lands (Owner) Delaware State University (Lessee) Address: 1570 North DuPont Highway Location: North DuPont Highway - Former Sheraton Hotel Tax Parcel ID #: ED-05-057.00-01-05.00 Size: 12.6127+/- acres Present Use: Hotel/Conference Center Proposed Use: University/Hampton Inn Hotel Comprehensive Plan Designation: Commercial Present Zoning: RC (Recreational and Commercial)/C-4 (Highway Commercial)/ SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) Proposed Zoning: IO (Institutional and Office)/SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) Reason for Request: To allow for conversion to university dormitory and other university uses Recommendation of Planning Commission: Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on August 19, 2013, where no members of the public spoke with regard to the application, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning application as requested. File Number: Z-13-01

Z-13-01 Lands of KW Lands (Sheraton Hotel) Report to City Council – September 9, 2013 Page 2 This rezoning application consists of one parcel of land (currently in the process of subdivision into three parcels) totaling 12.6127 acres ±. The property is currently zoned split zoned RC (Recreational and Commercial Zone) and C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone), a portion subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) – Tier 3 Excellent Recharge Area. The proposed zoning classification is IO (Institutional and Office Zone), a portion subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) – Tier 3 Excellent Recharge Area. The property is known as the Dover Sheraton property as the Sheraton Hotel occupied the front building on the property until July 2013. The property is owned by KW Lands and is currently under a lease with the Delaware State University. The Tax Parcel Identification Number is ED-05-057.00-01-05.00. Existing Property: The subject property consists of one 12.6127-acre parcel that is in the process of being subdivided into three parcels and road right-of-way of the following acreages (SB-13-03). Lot 1 2.1083 acres± Hampton Inn Lot 2 2.0192 acres± Vacant Lot Residue Lands 5.9979 acres± Sheraton Hotel Land to be Dedicated as ROW 2.4873 acres± Street ROW The Subdivision application was reviewed and conditionally approved by the Planning Commission on July 15, 2013. The applicant is still going through the administrative process to finalize the Subdivision Plan. The intent is to use the Sheraton Hotel property for dormitories and other university uses, and to continue to use the Hampton Inn property as a hotel. Delaware State University has entered into a lease with the property owners for the lot that fronts on DuPont Highway and has been traditionally home to the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center. As the university uses are not permitted in the RC Zone, the owner and lessee have applied for a rezoning of the property to IO. The lease was scheduled to take effect on July 27, 2013, which is prior to Planning Commission and City Council consideration of the rezoning application. The Planning Office issued a letter, dated July 18, 2013, allowing for a transitional period for Delaware State University to use the Sheraton hotel rooms to house students through May 31, 2014. No other conversion of the hotel and conference center to university uses is permitted unless the rezoning application is approved. If the rezoning application is not approved, the housing of students at this location will be required to cease no later than May 31, 2014. Surrounding Land Uses: The surrounding uses are primarily commercial. Immediately north, west and south of the subject property, lands are zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial). These uses include the former Walmart site that is pending redevelopment, Sam’s Club, and Schwartz Toyota. Cedar Chase Apartments, zoned RG-2 (General Residence Zone) is north of the former Walmart site. Properties directly across DuPont Highway are in unincorporated Kent County. They include a variety of commercial uses. There is no other property directly adjacent to the subject property that is zoned IO; however, there are a number of properties nearby with IO zoning, including the Wilmington University property located northeast of the subject property across DuPont Highway, the Delaware State Police property southeast of the subject property across DuPont

Z-13-01 Lands of KW Lands (Sheraton Hotel) Report to City Council – September 9, 2013 Page 3 Highway, and the Delaware State University property located southeast of the subject property along DuPont Highway. Comprehensive Plan: In the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1 as amended, dated March 2012) recommends that this property be used for Commercial Uses. The rezoning request for IO is consistent with the recommendations for Land Use Classification for Commercial Uses.

Exterior flood lighting or other illumination shall be shielded from the view of all surrounding properties and streets. SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) Portions of the site are located within the SWPOZ (Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Area) found in Article 3 Section 29.7 of the Zoning Ordinance. Construction activities on the property will be subject to these provisions which may include limitations on lot coverage especially for the Lot 2 parcel. Analysis of Compliance with IO Zoning Requirements An analysis of the compliance of current site improvements with the requirements of the IO Zone was performed to determine what nonconformities might be created by rezoning the subject property, as the lot lines have been shown in the pending subdivision. The proposed zoning and lot configuration comply with the lot size, building setback, and building height requirements. The following is an analysis of the sites in comparison to floor area ratio (FAR) and lot coverage requirements in Article 4, Section 4.15 of the Zoning Ordinance. Lot Max FAR FAR Max Lot Lot Coverage On-Site Coverage On-Site Residue Lot 4.0 .54 85% 89% Lot 1 4.0 .48 85% 83% Lot 2 4.0 N/A 85% 26% All lots comply with the floor area ratio requirements. The “Residue Lot” exceeds the maximum lot coverage, but the other lots comply with the maximum lot coverage requirement. The hotel use that would continue on the Hampton Inn property (Lot 1) is permitted as a Conditional Use in the IO zone. The existing hotel would be accepted without requiring a Conditional Use application to the Planning Commission; however, any expansion or significant change to this hotel would be subject to Conditional Use review and approval by the Planning Commission.

Z-13-01 Lands of KW Lands (Sheraton Hotel) Report to City Council – September 9, 2013 Page 5 Parking Requirements For the property identified as “Residue Lands”, parking is calculated based on one space for every three beds related to the dormitory use, and one space per 200 square feet of floor area for non-dormitory areas of the building. Based on this, there are 100 spaces required for the dormitory and 322 spaces required for the remaining building areas. The total minimum number of parking spaces required is 422. There are 381 parking spaces on this parcel, which is 41 fewer spaces than the minimum parking requirement. The parking is an existing non-conformity that will not be increased by the rezoning. For the property identified as “Lot 1” (Hampton Inn parcel), the parking requirement is calculated based on one space per guest room and one for every 200 square feet of office space. There are 81 guest rooms and 250 square feet of office space. The total minimum number of parking spaces required is 83, and there are 122 parking spaces provided on the site. The maximum amount of parking would be 104 parking spaces. This is existing non-conformity exists under the current zoning and would not be affected by the proposed rezoning. Because “Lot 1” includes parking over the minimum required and “Residue Lot” includes parking that is less than what is required, the Joint Facilities provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Article 6, Section 3.7 may be utilized if improvements are proposed at a future date that require compliance with applicable parking requirements. One area of non-compliance that would be created with the approval of the proposed rezoning is the parking location. Under the requirements of the IO Zone, parking is not permitted within the required front yard nor between the street line and the principal structure on the lot. In this case parking would be located within the required front yard and between the principal structures on “Residue Lot” and “Lot 1” and the street lines. The lot identified as “Lot 2” does not have a building, so there is no parking requirement at the present time. Based on Article 6, Section 3.10 of the Zoning Ordinance, twenty-six bicycle parking spaces are required. One of the conditions of the Minor Subdivision Plan approval for S-13-03 was that the bicycle parking be provided in accordance with the requirements of this section. Recommendation of the Planning Staff and Planning Commission: Staff recommended to the Planning Commission that the rezoning be granted as requested, as the proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding area. Staff notes that there will be a non-conformity that will be created by the rezoning is it relates to lot coverage on the “Residue Lot.” Staff encourages master planning of the area to allow for multi-modal transportation that does not rely entirely on North DuPont Highway for circulation. The staff recommendation was made prior to the opportunity for public comment. Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on August 19, 2013, where no members of the public spoke with regard to the rezoning application, the Planning Commission voted in favor of recommending that City Council approve the rezoning request. An excerpt of the draft Planning Commission minutes from August 19, 2013 is attached to the report.

Z-13-01 Lands of KW Lands (Sheraton Hotel) Report to City Council – September 9, 2013 Page 6 The Planning Staff offered the following advisory comments to the applicant as a part of the Development Advisory Committee report. 1) The Planning Office strongly encourages Delaware State University to work with DelDOT, the City of Dover, and the Dover/Kent County MPO to develop a regional circulation plan that connects the subject property with the Delaware State University campus via bicycle, pedestrian, transit, and vehicle connections that do not rely solely on use of DuPont Highway for access between the subject site and the campus. 2) The Planning Office encourages Delaware State University to work with the City Manager’s Office and the Tax Assessment Office to develop a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement in anticipation of the potential transfer of the Sheraton property to the University. 3) As a condition of the Minor Subdivision Plan SB-13-03, the required twenty-six bicycle parking spaces and a frontage sidewalk along North DuPont Highway are required prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any conversion of use on the subject property. 4) Please see the attached letter of July 18, 2013, regarding the temporary housing of students in the Sheraton Hotel. 5) All signage associated with the sites are subject to Sign Permits issued in accordance with Article 5, Section 4 of the Zoning Ordinance. 6) There have been consistent issues with maintaining the grass on the area designated as “Lot 2.” Failure to maintain the grass at a height of eight inches or less may result in fines and delays in processing applications associated with the property. 7) Please review the DAC Report for SB-13-03 Lands of KW Lands for the comments and code requirements associated with the Minor Subdivision currently in process. 8) Prior to establishing or changing any use or commencing with any demolition or construction on the subject property, including renovations within the existing buildings, the applicant shall contact the Planning Office so that the appropriate review process can be determined and coordinated with other reviewing entities including the Fire Marshal’s Office, Public Works, and the Chief Building Inspector. A Certificate of Occupancy will be required for the establishment of any new use within any of the buildings on the subject property. 9) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any rezoning application does not represent Site Development Plan or Record Plan approval. A separate Site Development Plan must be submitted and approved if development activities are proposed on the property. A separate Record Plan must be submitted and approved if changes to existing property lines are proposed. 10) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any rezoning application does not represent a Building Permit, Sign Permit, or other construction activity permit approval. A separate application submission showing all improvements is required before issuance of permits by the City of Dover.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION August 19, 2013 Excerpt from Meeting Minutes - Draft 2) Z-13-01 Lands of KW Lands at 1570 North DuPont Highway: Rezoning from RC and C-4 with SWPOZ to IO with SWPOZ - Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council on a rezoning application for a 12.6127 acre ± parcel. The property is zoned RC (Recreational and Commercial Zone), C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) and a portion is subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) Tier 3 – Excellent Recharge Area. The proposed zoning is IO (Institutional and Office Zone) with a portion subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone). The property is located on the west side of North DuPont Highway and east of Crawford Carroll Avenue and north of but not adjacent to Rustic Lane. The owner of record is KW Lands and lessee is Delaware State University. Address: 1570 North DuPont Highway. Tax Parcel: ED-05-057.00-01-05.00-000. Council District 4. Ordinance #2013-12. This property was the subject of a Minor Subdivision Plan Application SB- 13-03 to subdivide the parcel into three parcels of land and right-of-way areas granted conditional approval by the Planning Commission on July 15, 2013. Representatives: Mr. Thomas Kramedas, KW Lands; Mr. Garth Jones, Becker Morgan Group Mr. Holden recused himself from this application. His employer was the engineer of record on this project. Mrs. Townshend stated that this application is for a rezoning of the property known as the Sheraton property. The property does consist of the Sheraton Hotel, Hampton Inn and a vacant lot south of Hampton Inn. The Sheraton property is zoned RC (Recreational and Commercial Zone). Hampton Inn and the vacant lot south of Hampton Inn is zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). A portion of the property along the west side is subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone). The applicant is requesting a rezoning from RC (Recreational and Commercial Zone) and C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) to IO (Institutional and Office Zone). The property would still be subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone). During the July 2013 Planning Commission meeting this property came to the Commission for a Minor Subdivision. Currently, it is one large property that is “L” shaped due to the Minor Subdivision not yet being recorded. Mrs. Townshend stated that in terms of the rezoning application, Staff reviewed based on three (3) lots and looked to determine what, if any non-conformities would be created by the rezoning. In terms of floor area ratio, there are no non-conformities. The one non-conformity that was identified is that the lot coverage of the piece of land referred to as the Sheraton property, closest to the highway would be at 89% lot coverage. There is an 85% maximum lot coverage for this property. This is an existing condition, the applicant would not be required to change this condition. She did want to point it out for the record. The other piece that was identified is that in the IO (Institutional and Office Zone), parking cannot be located between the principal building and the roadway. Obviously that is a conforming situation that would continue with the IO (Institutional and Office Zone) zoning.

Excerpt from CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION- DRAFT AUGUST 19, 2013 Mrs. Townshend stated that Staff looked at the surrounding properties and there is primarily C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) surrounding the property but again there is IO (Institutional and Office Zone) property in the vicinity, both at Delaware State University and the State of Delaware Police; this would not be an isolated area of IO (Institutional and Office Zone) zoning. This zoning request is tied to the Sheraton conversion to a use for Delaware State University. Essentially, the Delaware State University uses are not permitted in the RC (Recreational and Commercial Zone) which is the reason for the rezoning request. Staff has worked with the applicant to allow the move in of students on an interim basis while the rezoning goes forward; however, if the rezoning is not successful then the property would have to be reverted to its prior use or another conforming use. Mr. Jones stated that they accept all DAC comments. Mr. Cregar questioned if the property is rezoned and then wants to go back to a hotel, would the applicant have to come back before the Planning Commission as a Conditional Use in the IO district? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Mrs. Townshend stated yes. The Hampton Inn would be remaining a hotel and that’s fine as long as it does not expand. If the Hampton Inn expands then it would have to come back for Conditional Use. Colonel Welsh stated that he was concerned about the movement of the students from the Sheraton Hotel to Delaware State University. He questioned how Delaware State University planned to do so in a safe manner? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Kramedas stated that he did not want to speak for Delaware State University but they will have a van and a shuttle to transport students back and forth and the students could also walk. Mrs. Townshend stated that the Dover Kent County MPO has done a sidewalk estimate to determine the cost of installing sidewalks and there is movement to try and get funds in place to add the sidewalk. Again, in the advisory comments Staff has recommended that this would be an opportunity to explore the Crawford Carroll Avenue connection and how we can get both vehicle and other modes of transportation through that western piece of property so that they are not putting all traffic out on Route 13. Colonel Welsh further stated that this was his biggest concern. If you look at where the students have to walk from the existing Sheraton Hotel; they have to cross the C F Schwartz parking lot, Lowe’s parking lot, Chick-Fil-A parking lot, the hotel parking lot, HH Gregg and CompUSA parking lots before they get to the campus. That is a lot of entrances and exits that he is really concerned about. In looking at the aerial view of this area, it looks like there is room for an extension of Crawford Carroll Avenue to tie into the north end of Delaware State University. He would hope that they at least look at installing a bike path and a pedestrian sidewalk in that area because putting students out on the border of Route 13 is not the thing to do. Mr. Cregar questioned one of the advisory comments. There is a comment about the Planning Office encouraging Delaware State University to work with the City Manager’s Office and the Tax Assessment Office to develop a payment in lieu of taxes agreement. Has this been discussed at all? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Mr. Koenig stated that it has not been discussed in public 2

Excerpt from CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION- DRAFT AUGUST 19, 2013 session at this point. His understanding is that there is lease period of one or two years so we have some time to work out a potential PILOT with Delaware State University if they were to purchase the property. But we would tend to purse that type of agreement if the land is to transfer. Mr. Cregar further questioned if the City of Dover has arrangements with other property owners? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Mr. Koenig stated that there is a PILOT payment from the State of Delaware related to their building values in the City. There is also a PILOT payment that is made by Luther Towers. The discussion about expanding the statewide program for PILOT payments included in the draft legislation this past year the values of Delaware State University which are currently excluded. So the PILOT program is an instrument that the City of Dover intends to pursue in the future to compensate for things like public safety. Colonel Welsh asked Mrs. Townshend to explain to the audience what the PILOT program is. Mrs. Townshend stated that for the record, PILOT is an acronym for payment in lieu of taxes. The idea is that tax exempt entities make a contribution to the City of Dover in lieu of taxes. Currently, there is no payment in lieu of taxes with Delaware State University. So if we are looking at expanding the land area that would be an opportunity to discuss that happening. Colonel Welsh opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the public hearing. Mr. Ambruso moved to recommend approval to the City Council on Z-13-01 Lands of KW Lands at 1570 North DuPont Highway: Rezoning from RC and C-4 with SWPOZ to IO with SWPOZ, seconded by Mr. Holt and the motion was unanimously carried 7-0 with Mr. Holden recused and Dr. Jones absent. 3

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on August 26, 2013 at 5:30 p.m. with Chairwoman Williams presiding. Members present were Mr. Perza, Mr. Blakeman, and Mr. Snaman. Mr. Slavin was absent. Members of Council present were Mr. Dixon, Mr. Hutchison, and Council President Bonar. Mayor Carey was also present (departed at 5:45 p.m. and returned at 5:47 p.m.). AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Snaman moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Blakeman and unanimously carried. Quarterly Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and Water/Wastewater) (April, May, and June) Members reviewed a Project Tracking Report, as of June 30, 2013, for the General Fund, Community Transportation & General Fund Street Funds, and Utility (Water/Wastewater and Electric) Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP). Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the major project completed in FY2013 for the General Fund was the Library project. He stated that construction had been completed; however, final bills would be processed in the upcoming months and charged against the project. He noted that the Street and Alley Program and the Salt Storage Facility at Schutte Park would be under construction shortly. Referring to the Community Transportation Fund Projects, Mr. Koenig explained that some of the funds for projects that had not yet begun were being reallocated to projects that were prepared to move forward at this time. He noted that the Robbins Hose Station No. 2 Ramp was complete and the Wesley College Project was near completion. He stated that work remained on the White Oak Tax Ditch as well as the Street Program that was ongoing. Mr. Koenig advised members that a great deal of work was done last year in the Water/Wastewater Utility related to Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) improvements and that staff continued to work on several water projects associated with the development of a new water source at the Piney Point Well, as well as elevated storage tank projects. He indicated that some older projects were starting to move toward completion. The assignment of some pump station projects to consultant engineers was delayed due to changes in staffing levels and the need for staff to review these projects. Mr. Koenig assured members that his expectation, as well as that of Ms. Sharon Duca, Director of Public Works, was that projects that had been lagging for the past couple of years would be caught up in FY 14. He explained that it was absolutely critical for the Water/Wastewater Capital Program to move forward in order for the City to maintain its current infrastructure, as well as to be able to expand for business opportunities and residential growth in the future; therefore, many man-hours would be spent working on this CIP in the next three (3) to five (5) years. Mr. Koenig stated that a considerable amount of staff time and effort had been spent working on reliability issues related to the electric transmission system, including several projects that involved moving overhead lines underground in order to improve reliability. Staff had also been working on various substations to expand their capabilities in order to maintain reliability.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 2 Responding to Mr. Snaman regarding an outage that occurred along Route 8 on Saturday or Sunday (August 24th or 25th) and lasted for approximately 2½ hours, Mr. Koenig stated that he would obtain information, including the cause of the outage, and forward it to members. In response to Mr. Perza regarding the expected timeline for completion of CIP projects, Mr. Koenig stated that staff had struggled with the completion of projects for any given year. In some cases, he explained that projects are designated as multi-year; otherwise, the expectation is for projects to be completed and money expended as identified at 100% completion. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Koenig stated that Municipal Street Aid Grant monies received are credited to the General Fund and are used to offset the cost of street lighting. The actual Capital Street Program was financed through a loan that the City obtained approximately one (1) year ago for the General Fund. The Capital Budget includes a Street and Alley Program which has typically been funded through a combination of General Fund tax money (at levels ranging from $0 to $500,000) and Community Transportation Funds (at levels ranging from $100,000, to $500,000). Mr. Koenig stated that there had been discussion regarding the need to accelerate the funding in the General Fund for street infrastructure; therefore, staff would be presenting a more robust Capital Plan related to street repairs that would directly affect the General Fund. He indicated that this would require a combination of taxation and additional requests for Community Transportation funds from legislators. He stated that as the road network enlarges, there is a larger need for maintenance. He advised members that the cost of asphalt is based on the price of oil and the cost of concrete is based on raw material. In response to Mr. Perza regarding the Tar Ditch Interceptor Upgrade, Mr. Koenig stated that the design had been completed and that the City would now approach the residents in an attempt to obtain the necessary easements. He anticipated construction to begin in Spring/Summer 2014. Mr. Koenig explained that there were constant struggles, such as timing, contractors, manpower, weather, etc., in completing projects. He understands the major inconvenience and disruption to the community when work is being done on projects and relayed appreciation for the cooperation of the citizens. He assured members that when water and sewer lines are repaired and/or replaced and roadways repaired, the work would be done in an expeditious manner. The Committee took no action. Mr. Blakeman moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 5:49 p.m. Beverly C.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on August 26, 2013, at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Lynn presiding. Members present were Mr. Hare (arrived at 6:21 p.m.), Mr. Rushe, and Mr. Shevock. Mr. Slavin was absent. Members of Council present were Mr. Dixon, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hutchison, and Council President Bonar. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Rushe moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. City of Dover Participation in the Commemorative Partner Program Members considered a letter from the United States Office of the Secretary of Defense requesting that the City of Dover consider participating in the Commemorative Partner Program. Mayor Carey explained that the Program is designed for federal, state, and local communities, veterans' organizations, and other non-governmental organizations to assist in thanking and honoring Vietnam Veterans and their families. Commemorative Partners are encouraged to participate in the Commemoration of the Vietnam War by planning and conducting events and activities that will recognize and honor the service, valor, and sacrifice made by Vietnam Veterans and their families. He assured members that there would be no costs associated with the City’s participation; however, the City would be obligated to conduct two (2) programs per year. He stated that Chapter 850 of the Vietnam Veterans of America had agreed to partner with the City if members of Council wished to participate. In response to Mr. Lynn, Mayor Carey indicated his understanding that funds would be raised to pay for any costs associated with the two (2) required events; however, he stated that it was anticipated that minimal funds would be required for such events. He also noted the possibility of utilizing current events, such as the Fourth of July Parade and Veterans Day activities. He advised members that the City’s involvement would begin in 2015 and the City would be obligated to participate in two (2) events in 2015, 2016, and 2017. Mayor Carey introduced Mr. Paul Davis, President of the Delaware Vietnam Veterans of America State Council, who would be responsible for managing the program. Mr. Davis relayed appreciation for including the Delaware Vietnam Veterans of America State Council in the City’s partnership with the Commemorative Partner Program. He indicated that hundreds of people have visited the Vietnam Veterans Memorial that was erected in the City. He introduced Mr. Joe Startt, President of Chapter 850 of the Vietnam Veterans of America, and Mr. Dave Skocik, President of the Delaware Veterans Coalition. Mr. Davis assured members that he, along with Mr. Startt and Mr. Skocik, would handle and manage the events on behalf of the City, explaining that the City would simply have to agree to the terms as outlined. He advised members that discussions had been held with the Mayor regarding the possibility of meeting with NASCAR to attempt to have a race dedicated to American Vietnam Veterans. He stated that there had also been discussion regarding the possibility of holding a massive parade that would include Delawareans and others from out of State. He noted that efforts were currently being made to bring to the area “The Moving Wall,” a Vietnam Veterans Memorial that travels through the United States and contains the names of 58,000 Vietnam veterans. Mr. Davis stated that the costs for the obligated

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 2 events would be minimal; however, a great deal of time and dedication would be required and he assured members that veteran organizations had the desire and means to provide such time and dedication. Mr. Startt relayed appreciation for the City’s consideration of a partnership with Chapter 850 of the Vietnam Veterans of America relative to the Commemorative Partner Program. Mr. Skocik stated that he was a Vietnam veteran and the fact that a Vietnam War Memorial was recently completed in Dover was an indication of what could be done without spending public money and with the cooperation of the City of Dover. Noting that the City of Dover is a military town, he felt confident that there would be plenty of participation in the events that would be planned. In response to Mrs. Williams regarding where contributions could be sent, Mr. Skocik indicated that it had been suggested that the City establish a separate account for the acceptance of donations. He announced that the Governor was scheduled to sign the bill that created the Veterans Trust Fund to help post-service veterans. He suggested that any monies raised over and above the costs of the City’s obligated events be donated to that Trust Fund, since 100% of those funds go directly to veterans. As a Vietnam veteran, Council President Bonar relayed appreciation to these organizations for raising awareness in the State of Delaware regarding the Vietnam veterans and the sacrifices they made. He stated his pride in being associated with such organizations and urged members to recommend approval of the request. Mr. Shevock moved to recommend that the Mayor be authorized to move forward in working with the Veteran organizations and approve the City of Dover’s participation in the Commemorative Partner Program. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously carried. Proposed Resolution No. 2013-22 With Staff Amendment (SA) #1 - Cessation of Illegal Gang Formation in Dover (Recommended by the Dover Human Relations Commission) Members reviewed Proposed Resolution No. 2013-22, with Staff Amendment (SA) #1, regarding the cessation of illegal gang formation in Dover, as recommended by the Dover Human Relations Commission (DHRC). Mr. Roy Sudler, Chairman of the DHRC, read the Proposed Resolution into the record. Mr. Rushe moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Resolution No. 2013-22 with Staff Amendment (SA) #1 (Attachment #1), seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Proposed Ordinance #2013-15 - Amending Chapter 58 - Human Relations During the Regular Council Meeting of August 12, 2013, City Council approved the Committee’s recommendation of July 22, 2013, authorizing staff to draft an ordinance that would provide for City Council to affirm the need for the Dover Human Relations Commission (DHRC); that the

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2013 PAGE 3 membership be set at nine (9), with two (2) serving from each Council district and one (1) at-large; that the number of meetings be set at a minimum of five (5) per year, one (1) in each quarter of the year and one (1) to be determined by the Commission and that special meetings may be called by the Chairperson or three (3) members of the Commission; that all meetings be held in accordance with Delaware State Laws regarding the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and City of Dover procedures through the City Clerk's Office, to include agendas and minutes to be issued as all other public bodies are handled in the City; that the DHRC report to City Council on a quarterly basis regarding its affairs; and that all of the meetings of the DHRC be held in the City Council Chambers. As a result of Council’s directive, staff submitted Proposed Ordinance #2013-15, Amending Chapter 58 - Human Relations, for the Committee’s review and recommendation. Mr. Lynn noted that members should also make a recommendation for either the Mayor or Council President to be responsible for making the appointments to the DHRC. Mr. Shevock moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-15 (Attachment #2) and that the Council President be responsible for appointing members to the DHRC. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 6:23 p.m. Sean M.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Meeting was held on August 28, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. with Chairman Hutchison presiding. Members present were Mr. Dixon, Mr. Perza (arrived at 5:14 p.m. and departed at 5:47 p.m.), Mr. Davis, and Mr. Keller. Mr. Lynn (arrived at 5:12 p.m. and departed at 5:42 p.m.) and Mayor Carey were also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Davis moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried. Public Hearing - Left-Turn Restrictions from Loockerman Street onto Governors Avenue During their Regular Meeting of August 14, 2013, City Council approved the July 24, 2013 recommendation of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee and set a public hearing for this time and place to receive public comments on proposed left-turn restrictions at Loockerman Street and Governors Avenue. In addition, staff was authorized to properly advertise this public hearing. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Correspondence received regarding this issue was provided to members, as follows: David Louie, dated August 16, 2013, and Jennifer Scacheri, dated August 17, 2013 (Attachment #1). Mr. Anthony J. DePrima, former City Manager, recalled that there were left-turn restrictions from Loockerman Street onto all streets up to Kirkwood Street, including Governors Avenue, during the latter part of the 1990s. He stated that, at that time, he served as the City’s Planning Director, principal staff member of the Dover Parking Authority, and a board member to both Main Street Dover and the Downtown Dover Development Corporation (DDDC). It was his recollection that removal of the left-turn restriction from Loockerman Street onto Governors Avenue was complaint driven, explaining that those wanting to make a left turn were required to make a series of right-hand turns in order to get to their destination, which was a nuisance. Mr. DePrima reminded members that this was considered when Main Street had just begun, the Parking Authority was just reconstituted, and the DDDC had recently been established, and many consultants were assisting the City in downtown revitalization. The goal was to improve access to the downtown area and its parking lots. He vividly remembered that one of the consultants indicated that the desire was to allow visitors to access business and parking areas; however, left-turn restrictions on Loockerman Street, were causing vehicular traffic to be “swept” to the right. He stated that merchants were receiving complaints from their customers regarding the inconvenience of accessing parking lots. Mr. DePrima felt that members must make the decision as to the current function of Loockerman Street, as was done in the latter part of 1990. If its main purpose was to convey traffic from east of State Street to West of Kirkwood Street as fast as possible, then the left-turn restrictions should be in place; however, if members felt that its purpose was to get visitors and residents to the downtown area as directly as possible without confusion, then the left-turn restrictions should not be present. As an example, he stated that if someone wished to go to the hospital and was traveling on Loockerman Street, they would be prohibited from making a left turn onto State Street, as well as Governors Avenue and would be forced to go to New Street. He stated that the decision was made in the 1990s that Loockerman Street should convey visitors to the downtown area as quickly and directly to wherever they were going without confusion and that through traffic would be encouraged

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2013 PAGE 2 to use North Street or Division Street. At that time, he explained that it was the City’s desire for North and Division Streets to serve as funnels for traffic going east and west and Loockerman Street to serve as a direct, easy way to access the downtown area. Mr. DePrima stated his understanding of the motorists’ frustration traveling along Loockerman Street who are behind someone waiting to make a left turn, noting that this could be avoided if the individual making the left turn moved up into the intersection, allowing traffic to go around and continue to flow. He questioned if the intersection could be marked to encourage those wishing to make a left turn to move forward and clear the lane for others to go around. He also advised members that it was his observation that traffic along Loockerman Street seemed extraordinarily bad this past year and that this may have been the result of construction work in the area. Mr. DePrima suggested that if it were the City’s desire to get traffic through Loockerman Street as quickly as possible, then they should consider all of the left-turns along Loockerman Street, explaining that if a left-turn restriction were placed only from Loockerman Street onto Governors Avenue, those wishing to make a left turn would simply move the “problem” down to the next street, New Street. Ms. Margot Brennan, 32 W. Loockerman Street (residing at the corner of Bradford and Loockerman Streets), urged members to make no changes, explaining that traffic along Loockerman Street was slow and felt that it would always be slow, regardless of restrictions. She noted that the new large parking lot currently only has 18 vacant spaces and that the smaller lot, which is metered, continuously has vacancies and felt that at a cost of only a quarter for an hour, affordable parking was available to the public. Ms. Jeny Shurtleff, 112 Matthew Court, agreed that if left-turn restrictions were instituted at all streets along Loockerman Street, traffic would be backed up at some point. If the City wished to allow for left-turns to continue from Loockerman Street, she suggested the possibility of installing left-turn signals. She stated that she preferred that left turns be restricted along Loockerman Street in its entirety or that turn signals be installed for left turns, and noted that her co-workers shared her sentiments regarding this issue. Mr. Louis Colón, Executive Director of the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), concurred with the comments made by Mr. DePrima. He noted that visitors traveling along Loockerman Street following Google Maps or a GPS device who were not familiar with the area would not know how to get to the hospital if they were not permitted to make a left-turn onto State Street or Governors Avenue. He felt that the left-turn signals would be beneficial along Loockerman Street. He stated that in speaking with merchants in the area, some prefer the left turns and others prefer left-turn restrictions. He reminded members that any decision made would affect the merchants. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Colón stated that five (5) downtown merchants had contacted him and that the number of those in favor and opposed to left-turn restrictions were equal.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2013 PAGE 3 Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the City no longer owned the traffic signal system, explaining that since the action that was taken in the 1990s the system had been owned and maintained by the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT). The study that was recently completed by DelDOT was only in regard to the left-turn restrictions (from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) from Loockerman Street onto Governors Avenue. Referring to the email received from Ms. Scacheri, he explained that her suggestion for a “lead lag condition” signal would require the review of DelDOT and, since it would require a change to overhead signals, would be a major change. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Police Chief Hosfelt indicated that police patrol units avoid Loockerman Street altogether, particularly if they are responding to a complaint or an issue in progress since they have to use lights and sirens and there is nowhere for traffic to move to along Loockerman Street. It was his feeling that the addition of left-turn signals would prove beneficial, explaining the difficulties in enforcing left-turn restrictions using signage. In response to Mr. Davis, Mr. Koenig stated that if left-turn restrictions were instituted, signs indicating those restrictions would be erected on both the pedestal portion of the signal as well as the overhead section. Mr. Hutchison suggested that DelDOT be requested to conduct a comprehensive review of the entire downtown complex so that the traffic could be reviewed in its entirety rather than piecemeal. Mr. Perza indicated his observation that, due to the width of the street, it would be an obstacle to have a separate left-turn lane; therefore, he felt that a redesign of the intersection would be required. He suggested consideration of converting Loockerman and North Streets to one (1) way streets. Mr. Koenig advised members that DelDOT had indicated that instituting the left-turn restriction would bring marginal operational improvements; however, it would most likely simply move the turning issue down to the next street. He stated that this issue could be delayed and discussed and considered in a broader context of the traffic flow downtown, noting that there would be more traffic downtown if there were more construction and more businesses locating to the area. Mr. Dixon moved to recommend that the matter be referred back to the City Manager for further review, seconded by Mr. Davis and unanimously carried. Request of White Oak/Towne Point Civic Association to Limit Parking on Miller Drive to Only One Side of the Street Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that City staff was in receipt of an email request from the White Oak/Towne Point Civic Association President, Mr. Nelson Hill, to conduct a study of Miller Drive to determine if parking on both sides of the street was safe. Mr. Koenig indicated that although a number of streets in the White Oak/Towne Point Subdivision had parking limited to one (1) side of the street, there were no restrictions along Miller Drive.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2013 PAGE 4 Due to current staffing levels in the Department of Public Works, Mr. Koenig requested that staff be provided a 90-120 day time frame to conduct a study and report findings back to the Committee for further consideration. He noted that although staff would review the technical merits associated with the request, input from the community would be necessary if staff were to recommend any parking restrictions, since such restrictions could have a considerable impact on residents of the street. Mr. Nelson Hill, 888 Townshend Boulevard, stated that the request of the Association was the result of complaints. He recalled that an auction was held approximately one (1) year ago, that essentially “shut” the street down due to parking on both sides of the street. He stated that the street width was 29’7”, and having vehicles parked on both sides prevents two (2) cars from traveling on the roadway, forcing motorists to back up and wait for opposing traffic to pass through. As a result, several residents felt that there was a safety issue and that restricting parking to one (1) side would alleviate this concern. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Hill stated that approximately 50 homeowners were actively involved in the White Oak/Towne Point Civic Association and estimated that four (4) of those homeowners reside along Miller Drive. He stated that he had not had an opportunity to actually speak directly with those residing along Miller Drive to get a consensus of their desires. Mr. James Morning, 216 Bradley Road, advised members that he would recommend the side of the street with even house numbers be selected, based on discussions with the residents. Mr. Lynn felt that the matter should be reviewed as a life safety issue, explaining that by allowing parking on both sides of the street, access to homes by emergency services is deterred. In determining which side of the street should be closed to parking, he suggested that members consider which side of the street had fire hydrants. He noted that regardless of the recommendation, half of the residents would be pleased and the other half would not; however, since this was a safety issue, members would be required to make an ultimate decision. Referring to Mr. Hutchison's previous questions regarding membership and participation in the Civic Association, Mr. Lynn reminded members that the Association membership was free and available to anyone living in the neighborhood and that its officials are elected. He indicated that residents had the opportunity to relay neighborhood concerns through the Homeowners Association, much like members of City Council who represent the City. Although some of those entitled to vote may choose not to participate, members still have the authority to represent their constituents. He noted that the percentage of voters that elected Mr. Hutchison was approximately the same percentage of the membership of the White Oak/Towne Point Civic Association that reside on Miller Drive. Mr. Lynn requested that this matter be addressed quickly and that a decision be made as to which side of the street parking would be permitted once the location of the fire hydrants was determined. He felt confident that since this was a fairly simple engineering decision, the City Manager could have a decision within one (1) to two (2) weeks. He suggested that the matter be brought back to the Committee in two (2) weeks for consideration of recommendations by the Engineering Department and Fire Marshal’s Office in regard to this issue.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2013 PAGE 5 Ms. Tamera Burns-Hill, Membership Coordinator for the White Oak/Towne Point Civic Association, stated that she had brought this matter to the Association’s attention due to safety concerns. She explained the difficulty for emergency apparatus, such as a fire truck, to access residences because of the narrow street since parking is permitted on both sides. She questioned why members should wait for a crisis to occur before making a change that could prevent such a crisis. Responding to Mr. Perza, Ms. Burns-Hill noted that half of the streets in the subdivision have parking restrictions and that those that do not are considered “major” streets within the subdivision because they are wide enough to accommodate parking on both sides of the street. In reviewing Google Maps, Mr. Perza noted that all fire hydrants along Miller Drive appeared to be located on the north side of the street; therefore, he felt confident that the Fire Marshal would recommend that parking be prohibited on the north side of the street. Since this decision would affect residents along the street, he recommended that they be contacted and advised of the consideration. Mr. Koenig cautioned members that prohibiting parking on one (1) side of the street would address this safety concern; however, “widening” the roadway, would create another safety issue, explaining that there would be an increase in vehicular speed on the roadway. Taking into consideration the observation made by Mr. Perza, Mr. Lynn requested that members submit a recommendation to City Council to prohibit parking on the north side of Miller Drive and that the Public Works Department and Fire Marshal’s Office address any concerns they may have directly to City Council. Concurring with Mr. Dixon, Mr. Nelson stated that the Homeowner’s Association only requested that a study be done at this time to assure that it would be feasible to limit parking on Miller Drive to one (1) side of the street. Mr. Perza felt that if this matter were presented to City Council during their first meeting in October (October 14, 2013), this would provide sufficient time for staff to confirm the location of the fire hydrants and provide the Homeowner’s Association ample time to go out to the community and obtain any support that may be needed. He explained that the plan would be for a public hearing to be held that night before City Council to hear public testimony for the purpose of determining whether the north side of Miller Drive should have a parking prohibition and if parking should be limited to the south side of Miller Drive. Mr. Perza moved to recommend that a public hearing before City Council be set for October 14, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. to consider prohibiting parking on the north side of Miller Drive. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried. Implementation of Security Measures in City Buildings Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that as a result of a recent incident that occurred in Pennsylvania, there had been consideration of implementing security measures in City buildings. He stated that staff had obtained an estimate of between $2,500 and $3,000 for the purchase of a

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2013 PAGE 6 metal detector. Mr. Koenig explained that the problem with this concept was that staff had no means to monitor the metal detector, except for its use at the entrance of the Council Chambers, and when monitored, he questioned what action would be taken if something were detected. He also stated that there were concerns with determining the location for installing such a detector and how it would be installed and used effectively. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Police Chief Hosfelt stated that his main concern was that the Council Chambers had several access points at the rear which would need to be secured. If Council were to choose to install a metal detector, he felt that there would be concerns with people accessing the foyer of the Council Chambers and that minimally, two (2) police officers would be required for the operation of a metal detector. However, he stressed the need to secure the access points to the rear of the Council Chambers, which could and should be done immediately. Mr. Hutchison suggested that the Police Chief and City Manager consider security measures throughout City Hall, focusing beyond the use of the building for City Council meetings, and formulate recommendations to address security issues. Responding to Mr. Perza, Mr. Hutchison felt that although this matter was discussed specifically in reference to City Hall, referring the matter to staff for their review would allow them to consider security issues and possible solutions for all City buildings. Mr. Hutchison moved to recommend that the implementation of security measures in City buildings be referred to staff for their review and recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Keller and unanimously carried. Update on City Ambulance Service Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a memorandum containing an Update on City Ambulance Service data. He reminded members that during the budget review last year, there were concerns that serving the City was placing a burden on some of the local ambulance providers and a discussion was held regarding whether additional ambulance service should be procured through the contract with the City’s vendor or if the burden could be offset by utilizing local community ambulance providers. It was determined at that time that the City had a bigger influence on the Cheswold and Camden-Wyoming ambulance services than on other surrounding communities. Staff met with both Cheswold and Camden-Wyoming officials late in the budget preparation process and recommended that the City make a donation to both. A formula was developed to determine an amount that was considered adequate to compensate other providers for service and the inconvenience involved in calling their ambulance into the City’s service territory. Mr. Koenig advised members that on a typical day, the City has two (2) ambulances in service, and if they are not available and another call comes in, an additional call is made to Camden-Wyoming or Cheswold. He stated that a donation of $25 per call is granted for calls taken in the City’s service territory. Mr. Koenig indicated that for the year 2012, the City donated $9,125 to Cheswold Ambulance Service for 365 runs and $8,125 to Camden-Wyoming Ambulance Service for 325 runs. He explained that these donations were provided in lieu of the City adding another $100,000 to the City’s ambulance contract costs while still having an influence on other ambulance service providers during “off shift” hours.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2013 PAGE 7 Mr. Koenig indicated that both the Camden-Wyoming and Cheswold Ambulance Service companies were grateful for the City’s donations, explaining that both of these providers were having difficulties raising funds and felt that the donations provided by the City were more than adequate to cover the amount of time they spent addressing the City’s service territory. Referring to the Ambulance Data Comparison provided, Mr. Koenig stated that data covering the first six (6) months of 2013 seemed to be comparable to the previous year; therefore, staff recommended that another calculation be completed at the end of 2013 and the result be included in the FY 2015 Budget for the donations. He advised members that the City’s current ambulance contract would be effective through June 30, 2015 and explained that the ambulance service required an annual evaluation to ensure that the City was not taxing other service providers to the point that they could not maintain their service levels or territory. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Koenig stated that he did not have information regarding response times and reminded members that this was a previous concern; however, it had been discovered that on several occasions, when calls were made to Cheswold and/or Camden-Wyoming, responders were already in the City’s service territory since they are often dispatched from the hospital. He stated that, to his knowledge, all response times had been within acceptable parameters and assured members that there had been no violations to service requirements. Mr. Hutchison requested that staff provide details regarding all response times, including paramedics. Mayor Carey requested that staff also provide details regarding the response location for Cheswold and Camden-Wyoming (whether they were in the City’s service territory or their home base) since this could make a difference in the response time. Mayor Carey explained his concerns regarding the ability to respond to 1,000 calls each year. He felt it was the City’s responsibility to continue to review this matter to assure the citizens were receiving the service they deserve. No further action was taken by the Committee. Prioritization of City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program (CTP) Projects Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that each year City Council develops a list of transportation priorities and shares these priorities with the Secretary of Transportation for consideration as the Department of Transportation develops the State’s Capital Transportation Plan (CTP). She, along with the City Manager, had reviewed the priorities approved in September 2012 by City Council and developed a priority ranking for the coming year. She reviewed the priorities for the CTP Projects and their ranking, as follows: 1. Garrison Oak Connector Road 2. Construction of Sidewalks within the Walk Zone of the New Dover High School a. Mifflin Road b. South Side of Route 8 West of Mifflin Road c. Kenton Road (must be coupled with Kenton Road Corridor Upgrades) 3. Route 8/Hazlettville Road Connector 4. US Route 13 Sidewalk Construction 5. Crawford Carroll Avenue Extension

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2013 PAGE 8 6. Kenton Road Corridor Upgrades 7. Loockerman Street/Forest Street Improvements 8. Kings Highway/Route 13 Intersection Improvements 9. US Route 13 Service Road Corridor 10. College Road Corridor Upgrades 11. Dover Transit Hub – Public/Private Partnership for Building Mrs. Townshend explained that although the West Dover Connector remained a priority (and was included on previous priority lists), it was removed from the 2013 priorities because funding had been allocated and construction was scheduled to begin next year. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that staff could draft the letter to the Secretary of Transportation to be presented to City Council along with the list of transportation priorities for their approval (Attachment #2). She indicated that the letter could include more explanation regarding the projects and their priority placement. Mr. Davis moved to recommend approval of the prioritization of City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program (CTP) Projects, as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried. Update - Dover High School Construction Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the construction on the Dover High School Project and monthly coordination meetings continued. She indicated that concerns had been relayed by the Capital School District regarding the availability of funds and it was indicated that the District may need to re-evaluate whether they could construct the east entrance, as previously planned. She explained that if the entrance were removed, the matter would require the review of the Planning Commission and a public hearing. Mrs. Townshend noted that the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy was anticipated by April/May 2014; therefore, she urged the District to make this determination as soon as possible, since the final decision would be made by the Planning Commission and would not be based on whether or not funds were available. She stated that this had been explained in a letter sent to the Capital School District and it was made clear that until the site complies with the Planning Commission’s approvals, the City would not be able to issue a Certificate of Occupancy. She indicated that this matter would be further discussed during the coordination meeting in September. In addition, Mrs. Townshend stated that the parking shown on the school site plan was significantly less than the parking shown on the plan approved by the Planning Commission. She reiterated that a letter had been sent to the School District explaining the importance of resolving these issues as soon as possible to avoid delays in the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy and the planned school opening. Responding to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that the east entrance was the planned bus entrance.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2013 PAGE 9 Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee submitted a Bicycle Friendly Community Application and was scheduled to meet again next week, at which time members would focus more on pedestrian issues. She stated that maps would be provided at the meeting with aerial photographs for members to identify areas where there were pedestrian impediments. Ms. Margot Brennan, 32 W. Loockerman Street, questioned if the bicycle signage along Loockerman Street could be made larger, explaining that she had been “run over” on several occasions by bicyclists. Responding, Mr. Hutchison stated that one of the functions of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee was to promote educational programs on bicycle and pedestrian safety. As pedestrians, he stated that we must be alert and attentive to bicycle and vehicular traffic. Mr. Davis moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried.

From: Jennifer Scacheri [mailto:jennifer.scacheri@comcast.net] Sent: Saturday, August 17, 2013 3:40 PM To: Koenig, Scott Subject: Loockerman St/Governors Ave traffic issue - traffic light change Dear Mr. Koenig, I am writing to suggest a possible solution to the Loockerman Street/Governors Avenue traffic problem because I am not able to attend the August 28 public hearing due to medical issues. It has been my observation that traffic backs up on Loockerman Street because cars trying to turn left onto Governors Avenue can’t do so because of oncoming traffic, and cars traveling straight through can’t do so easily because there is only one west-bound lane which is generally blocked by cars turning left. It might be fairly simple to add to the traffic light at that intersection a left turn arrow that allows west-bound traffic at that intersection to both turn left and go straight before the east-bound traffic begins to cross the intersection. This would quickly clear the west- bound traffic on Loockerman street for all cars turning left or going straight without needing to restrict traffic in any particular direction or adversely affecting the businesses on Loockerman Street.

City of Dover MAYOR AND COUNCIL CITY OF DOVER 2013 TRANSPORTATION PROJECT PRIORITIZATION 1. Garrison Oak Connector Road – Due to the increased activity and interest in the Garrison Oak Technical Park, the planning and construction of this connection to Delaware Route 1 is increasingly important. 2. Construction of Sidewalks within the Walk Zone of the New Dover High School – With the expected opening of the new Dover High School in Fall 2014, the critical sidewalk gaps that were identified in the Dover High Pedestrian Study performed by the Dover/Kent County MPO become a priority. The critical gaps that are of highest priority to the City and most critical in providing safe access to the school are listed below: a. Mifflin Road b. South Side of Route 8 West of Mifflin Road c. Kenton Road (must be coupled with Kenton Road Corridor Upgrades - Item #6 below) 3. Route 8/Hazlettville Road Connector – This is planned to be a north/south access road that was identified in the Delaware 8 Concept Plan and Operations Study. With the construction of the new Dover High School, the construction of this connection is important to providing access to the school without causing additional burden on other roads in the area. 4. US Route 13 Sidewalk Construction – Construction of sidewalks along US 13 continues to be a priority. 5. Crawford Carroll Avenue Extension – The extension of Crawford Carroll Avenue south toward the Delaware State University Campus becomes a more critical priority with Delaware State University’s lease of the Sheraton Hotel property. The extension of Crawford Carroll Avenue will help avoid use of US Route 13 for local trips between the Sheraton property and the Delaware State University Campus. 6. Kenton Road Corridor Upgrades – Upgrading Kenton Road, including the addition of sidewalks along the road, continues to be a priority for the City. 7. Loockerman Street/Forest Street Improvements – This project has been a priority for the City to help spur redevelopment and improved traffic flow on the west side of Dover. It was initially identified in the West Side Redevelopment study performed in 2001. 8. Kings Highway/Route 13 Intersection Improvements – The intersection of Kings Highway, US Route 13, and White Oak Road needs improvement to meet an acceptable level of service standard. The current condition of the intersection hinders redevelopment of properties in this vicinity. P.O. Box 475 ˜ Dover, Delaware ˜19903 Community Excellence Through Quality Service

Page 2 9. US Route 13 Service Road Corridor – The construction of service roads along US Route 13 is a project that will help to alleviate congestion on US Route 13. 10. College Road Corridor Upgrades – This project is intended to upgrade College Road to include sidewalks and other road improvements. 11. Dover Transit Hub – Public/Private Partnership for Building – The construction of a building at the new Dover Transit Hub continues to be a priority that requires a successful public/private partnership to complete. **The West Dover Connector was previously on the list and has been removed for the 2013 priorities because funding is allocated and construction is scheduled to begin next year. The City is appreciative of the State’s efforts on this project. P.O. Box 475 ˜ Dover, Delaware ˜19903 Community Excellence Through Quality Service
