ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Planning, Inspections & Recreation DATE SUBMITTED: April 2, 2013 PREPARED BY: Ann Marie Townshend, AICP – Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: Pocket Park Design – Corner of North Street and Governors Avenue REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: N/A REVIEWED BY: City Controller EXHIBITS: Letter of April 1, 2013 from Jonathan Street; Renderings of Proposed Park EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: N/A AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Downtown Dover Partnership TIME TIMETABLE: To begin upon Council approval and approval of Site Development Plan through the Planning Office. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends that the Committee approve the proposed design of the pocket park. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The subject property was the site of a dangerous building demolished by the City. The City subsequently acquired the property through a monition sale. City Council, through the Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee recommendation of October 8, 2012, approved the designation of the property as a “pocket park”, consistent with the Transit Center Neighborhood Plan that was developed by the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Downtown Dover Partnership. The Downtown Dover Partnership received funds through the State Bond Bill for improvements along North Street between State Street and Governors Avenue. These improvements included the Loockerman Way Plaza, North Street Streetscape and Paving, and the North Street Parking Lot Consolidation. These projects came in below the budgeted amount, and the Downtown Dover Partnership allocated some of the cost savings to the development of a pocket park on the property at 301 South Governors Avenue (southeast corner of South Governors Avenue and North Street). With the approval of the recommendation of the Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee in October 2012 that the site be established as a pocket park and the subsequent acquisition of the property by the City of Dover, the City took on the maintenance responsibilities of the property. In developing the park design, the City will work with the Downtown Dover Partnership to ensure that the design minimizes the maintenance burden through a combination of pavers, mulched landscape areas, and the selection of plants, trees and shrubs that are attractive yet less intensive to maintain. As the site will be owned and managed as a City park, the project must be reviewed by the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee and ultimately approved by City Council. Additionally, the design will required review and approval by the Planning Commission, following a recommendation by the Historic District Commission. Staff recommends that the Committee endorse the conceptual design, recognizing that a more detailed landscape plan identifying actual plant species will be developed in coordination with the Public Works Department as the plan progresses through the Site Development Plan process.
