Item 3. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 18, 2021 Mrs. Melson-Williams presented the audience information on policies and procedures for the In- person/Virtual Meeting using the WebEx system. OLD BUSINESS Request Extension of Planning Commission Approval: S-19-22 Tommy Express Car Wash at Carver Road - Request for a One-Year Extension of the Planning Commission approval granted October 21, 2019 for a Site Development Plan/Lot Consolidation Plan Application to demolish the existing structures and then construct a on-story 4,504 SF Car Wash (Service Establishment) with associated site improvements. The subject properties to be combined total 2.07 +/- acres and are located on the east side of Saulsbury Road north of Forrest Street and west of Carver Road. The properties are zoned C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone) and are subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The owner of record for all properties is Faithwork LLC. Property Addresses: 21 and 27 Saulsbury Road; 20 (and 26), 30 and 34 Carver Road; 971, 975 and 983 Forest Street. Tax Parcels: ED-05-076.07-01-38.00-000, ED-05-076.07-01-39.00-000, ED-05- 076.07-01-61.00-000, ED-05-076.07-01-60.00-000, ED-05-076.07-01-59.00-000, ED-05- 076.07-01-62.00-000, ED-05-076.07-01-36.00-000, and ED-05-076.07-01-37.00-000. Council District 4. Representatives: Mr. Tolano Anderson, Faithwork, LLC Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this application first appeared before the Planning Commission in October 2019 where it achieved the conditional approval from the Planning Commission. It did revisit the Planning Commission on two other times to give updates on revisions to the plan. Those occurred on May 18, 2020 presenting a slightly different scenario for lot consolidation and revisions to their stormwater Management Plan. The second revisit to the Planning Commission happened on August 17, 2020 and that focused on revisions to the site access onto Saulsbury Road. The application is very much in the active Check Print Review process. A number of agencies have had multiple rounds of comments as they work to achieving Final Site Plan Approval. As of this point, they do not have Final Plan Approval. The Code allows them to make a request to extend for one-year and that is their request to the Planning Commission this evening. Mr. Anderson stated that this has been a challenging project for many reasons but we have been happy to work with all of the agencies and the Development Advisory Committee. He believes that they have been very effective working through them all. It’s been a cooperative process. He also just wanted to thank the Commission in advance because this project has had some delays and most of them are driven by factors affecting the pandemic. There has been a series of things and we are just looking forward to moving forward. We actually have the momentum that we need right now for not only the Final Plan Approval but some of the other administrative delays and personnel delays. They have had serious tragedies associated with the pandemic and we are just really looking forward to moving this project to completion. Mrs. Maucher stated that she noticed in the letter from Larson Engineering that it says you need 2 7

Item 3. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 18, 2021 to obtain property from an adjoining property owner. Could you please explain that? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Anderson stated that it is not actually to acquire property but DelDOT would like a joint access easement primarily for access flow and access control. That just requires an agreement between us and the owner of the Subway which is located on the direct corner at Forest Street and Saulsbury Road. So, it is not an actual acquisition of any additional property; it is simply a joint access agreement. Mr. Hartman moved to approve a One-Year Extension for S-19-22 Tommy Express Car Wash at Carver Road, seconded by Mrs. Welsh and the motion was carried 9-0 by roll call vote. Mr. Cooper voting yes; he thinks that there have been a lot of unprecedented delays with the COVID pandemic and as someone who is in construction, he knows that they are very unforeseen. Mr. Roach voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs. Lord voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on their original application and the reasons that they stated for the extension. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; based on the approval of the application. Dr. Jones voting yes; for reasons already stated. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs. Malone voting yes; for reasons stated. Mrs. Maucher voting yes, in consideration of the progress that the applicants have made. Revision to Applications: C-21-02 JJ’s Learning Experience 2 Child Day Care Center at 756 South Little Creek Road - Update on Revisions to a Site Plan associated with an Application for Conditional Use to permit renovation of a 10,111 SF space in an existing one-story 33,143 SF building into a Child Day Care Center to serve 170 children. The property consists of a 2.39 acre+/- parcel and is located on the south side of South Little Creek Road opposite Babb Drive. The property is zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). The owner of record is Empire Medical, LLC and the applicant is JJ’s Learning Experience 2. Location Address: 756 South Little Creek Road Suite 1. Tax Parcel: ED-05-077.00-01-03.00-000. Council District 2. Representatives: Mr. James Taylor, Duffield & Associates Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is an update on a series of revisions that are supposed for a Conditional Use Site Plan that the Planning Commission saw back in March and April of this year. They have been working on, since the time of Planning Commission, addressing the Development Advisory Committee review comments. Tonight, they bring to you an update on one of the revisions that those comments have necessitated specifically from DelDOT. In working with that agency and looking to achieve Entrance Plan Approval, there will be some changes needed to how you access and exit the site. The project currently has two full movement site egress and access points onto South Little Creek Road but DelDOT is seeking revisions to that which will then create basically a one-way circulation around the building so that you enter at one point and circulate on-site and then exit at one of the other points to South Little Creek Road. In doing so, we thought that the Planning Commission should see that Plan as an updated. For the most part, it does not make any changes to the Conditional Use for the Child Day Care Center. That is still located in the same part of the building; basically the east side of the building. The child play area is still accessed from the building and is located on the south side of the building. The shape of the outdoor play area is slightly changed in order to accommodate 3 8

Item 3. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 18, 2021 this one-way circulation drive but that remains a fenced area for the children. Then, there have been some refinements in the two parking areas to accommodate the flow of traffic on-site; both on the west and then at the east side of the building. The site continues to show requirements that were made part of that Day Care application including bicycle parking, the site lighting features and the crosswalk areas bringing you into the site and from key parking areas. One of the things that has changed is that we have a new engineering firm on board working with the applicant and their representative is here this evening. They continue to move through the Check Print Review Process but we thought that it was in the best interest of the Planning Commission for them to see the update which is really necessitated with them achieving their Entrance Plan Approval from DelDOT. It is just an informational item for the Commission. Mr. Taylor stated that they have been actively working on this project with the client for a couple of months now. Mostly, it revolves around DelDOT approvals. They met with DelDOT in what they call a Pre-Submittal Meeting back in the summer. One comment that they had was that currently the site has two access points that are full movement and they would require both to be brought up; however, they then said that they would not permit two access points onto the site. With having two access points now and not being permitted two access points in the future, obviously a road needed to be created along the back side of the building in order to connect the two areas. They discussed with DelDOT about potentially doing a one-way in and one-way out as there isn’t really area for vehicles to be able to turn around on the site itself. If there is a delivery truck coming for either the Day Care or another business, if it was one entrance point, there would be no way for them to be able to access the site and get back out without actually causing more issues on-site. What they proposed was kind of the intermediate point between those two discussions which would be entering off of (South Little Creek Road) directly across from Babb Drive and a right-in entrance would be provided as well to be able to allow vehicles to enter the site. They would then transfer along the back side of the site and then be able to leave on the furthest to the right entrance point. With this, there was some impervious coverage that was added; however, we still stay under what is required by Code for impervious coverage on the site as well as meeting the Kent Conservation District’s Standard Plan Application. We will be working with them on those improvements and as Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned, most of the other main features of the site stay as they are. The bike racks, dumpster enclosures, parking, sidewalks and access points to the areas are all pretty much as they were before the site modifications. Mr. Hartman asked Mr. Taylor if he thought that there are any additional hazards presented by traffic to the parents or children because of this re-design. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Taylor stated that he doesn’t think that there is any additional hazard. There are crosswalks which are where the crossings are located. The day care’s playground is fully enclosed to make sure that there is not an issue with the kids running out into a street. He does not believe that there are additional hazards imposed onto parents or children. The rest of the shopping center is not really being used during the early morning and most of the day-time frame. The rest of it would be used during the night usually when the day care is not in session. Although there is an access drive and you would be sending some more traffic along that back road, there does not appear to be a hazard in that case. 4 9

Item 3. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 18, 2021 Mr. Hartman questioned if there is any problem with the setbacks for this design? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that setbacks in the Zoning Ordinance pertain to the building. There is not a setback that would limit the placement of the circulation drive which is the additional pavement being added to the site. The other parking areas are existing pavement; they are just being restriped or turned into islands as part of this. Setbacks on the Zoning Ordinance pertain to the building and in this case, since we are not expanding the building we are okay. Mr. Hartman stated that the Day Care Center requires 36 spots. Is that correct? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Taylor stated that is correct. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the parking requirement for a day care facility is based on the number of children with a rate per the number of children and a number of adult attendants. That number was set with their Conditional Use Site Plan Application. Mr. Hartman stated that he understands that, but the parking has been reduced for the entire site from 73 to 64. What affect do you think that is going to have on the business that is there? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the existing parking on the site does carry with it some degree of nonconformity based on when the building was initially constructed. The parking meets the requirements for the Day Care. The parking lot is with multiple users of a shared facility so you may have parking needs at times when one use may or may not be open. In this case, she is not sure that the west side of the building has firm tenants; that seems to be a moving target over the last few months. The Day Care is about the only one that they can firmly point to as a use with a required number of parking spaces at this point. NEW APPLICATIONS Z-21-06 Lands of Ingram at 317, 319, and 325 W. Division Street - Public Hearing and Review for recommendation to City Council on a rezoning application for three parcels of land consisting of 0.05 +/- acres, 0.13 +/- acres, and 0.08 +/- acres, for a total 0.26 +/- acres (11,628.36 SF +/-). The properties are zoned C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone). The proposed zoning for all three properties is IO (Institutional and Office Zone). The properties are located on the north side of West Division Street and east of North Queen Street. The owners of record for all three parcels are E. Vernon Ingram Jr. & Alice M. Ingram. Property Addresses: 317, 319, and 325 W. Division Street. Tax Parcels: ED-05-076.08-05-03.00-000, ED-05-076.08- 05-02.00-000, and ED-05-076.08-05-01.00-000 respectively. Council District 4. First Reading was held by City Council on September 27, 2021 where the Public Hearing dates were set for Planning Commission on October 18, 2021 and City Council on November 8, 2021. Representatives: Ms. Jeanine Kleimo, Dover Interfaith Mission; Mr. Brian Turner, Mountain Consulting Mr. Swierczek stated that this is a Rezoning Application for three parcels of land on West Division Street addressed at 317, 319 and 325 West Division Street. This was most recently part of a motor vehicle sales facility. Planning Staff is recommending approval of this application. The land use designation as reiterated in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan is Mixed Use. The 5 10

Item 3. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 18, 2021 current zoning being C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone) and the proposed zoning being IO (Institutional and Office Zone); both being compatible with that Mixed Use land use designation. The IO (Institutional and Office Zone) zoning has a multitude of largely institutional and office uses as well as a few public service uses. As a note to the members of the Planning Commission, this is a request for the Rezoning only; it is not addressing any specific type of development. Whatever the Planning Commissioners’ recommendation is, it would still have to go to City Council for final approval and whatever the outcome of that is they can proceed with any type of development that would be subject to the relevant review process. As a note, we have received some items of communication from the public. Mainly, they are a series of letters distributed to members of City Council in support of this Rezoning Application. Most recently today, Planning Staff received a letter from the previous Director of Planning & Inspections, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend. She was also noting her support noting its compatibility with the Land Use Table in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan. As well as noting her support for the applicants and stating that she is in support of Dover diversifying its housing stock and that not doing so could have Dover facing some difficulties with fair housing issues. Ms. Kleimo stated that she chairs the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing at 684 Forest Street. She is here to simply answer questions. They have operated a program of assistance and shelter to homeless men effectively for the past 13 years. They need to move from a leased space and seek to acquire this property for our future operations. They have appreciated the measure of community support that they have received and the support of the Planning Staff of the City of Dover. Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing. Mr. Brian Turner – Mountain Consulting – 103 S Bradford Street Dover, DE 19904 Mr. Turner stated that they did prepare the existing Site Plan for the Rezoning. They did not find any issues with any of the property corners or the descriptions that are found in the deed and feel that what is represented on the plan is accurate. Mr. Nathan Attard – 452 East Loockerman Street Dover, DE 19901 Mr. Attard stated that he wanted to speak in support of this project. It looks like a very good re- use of a couple of existing buildings on the site. IO (Institutional and Office Zone) zones exist around the City in districts much like what exists at Division Street and North Queen Street. He is excited to see this project move forward. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend – 52 Washington Street Dover, DE 19904 Mrs. Townshend stated that she submitted written comments in support. Again, she just thinks that given that it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, compatible with surrounding land uses, and the organization who is requesting the Rezoning has an excellent track record for providing vital community services. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she wanted to reference the written comments that Mrs. Townshend provided. It was by email and the Planning Commission members received a copy of that on their desks this evening and it was also emailed to them this afternoon. It reflects Mrs. Townshend’s statement that she is in support of the Rezoning Application noting the consistency 6 11

Item 3. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 18, 2021 with the Comprehensive Plan. There are also some references to the work the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing does provide. Staff will enter that email and its entirety into the record by reference this evening. There were also copies of the series of letters that were included in the Planning Commissioner’s packets. It was a series of correspondence addressed to a number of the City Council members that were sent by The People’s Church of Dover signed by the Reverend Dr. G.D. Hodge and they are noting the support of the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing and urge the support of this Rezoning Application. The series of letters include correspondence that was addressed to Council Member Hare, Council Member Taylor, Council Member Bogherty, Council Member Neal, Council Member Sudler and Council Member Arndt. These emails were forwarded to the Planning Office from the Office of the City Clerk who received them on behalf of the Council Members. We have already noted the email received from Mrs. Townshend. Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing. Mr. Hartman moved to recommend approval to City Council for Application Z-21-06 Lands of Ingram at 317, 319, and 325 W. Division Street to change the zoning from C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone) to IO (Institutional and Office Zone) based on comments provided in the packet from Planning Staff and the fact that it is consistent with the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, seconded by Dr. Jones and the motion was carried 9-0 by roll call vote. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on the outstanding motion. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; based on Staff’s recommendations and also that it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Dr. Jones voting yes; based upon Staff’s recommendations and first-hand knowledge of the work that this organization does and the value that it provides for the City of Dover. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; based on the request for the Rezoning being in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and it seems like it’s going to be a much needed and appreciated use of the facility. Mrs. Malone voting yes; she supported Interfaith Mission the last time and she wholeheartedly supports them again and also for the same reasons that Dr. Jones stated. Mr. Cooper voting yes; for reasons stated by Staff and Staff support and also because of the 13-year track record of awesome work that they have done within the City of Dover. Mr. Roach voting yes; for all of the reasons previously stated by all of the Planning Staff and the Commissioners. Mrs. Lord voting yes; for all of the reasons previously stated. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; based on the consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and it falls in with the character of property.

First Reading was held by City Council on September 27, 2021 where the Public Hearing dates were set for Planning Commission on October 18, 2021 and City Council on November 8, 2021. Representatives: None Mr. Hugg stated that this is a Zoning Text Amendment proposed by Planning Staff as a result of continued review of various pieces of our Ordinance and also recognition of things that are happening in Dover in the Manufacturing, Industrial and Commercial areas. Our current Ordinance right now sets a maximum building height (to the top of the roof) to be 35 feet which results in limitations on the clear height of the interior space which is the space below the lowest point of any ceiling member, beam joist or other structural part. Increasingly, they are aware that modern warehouse flex spaces and manufacturing facilities needing clear heights inside the building of 32 to 36 feet with a preference for greater clearances if possible. The 35-foot limitation to the outside roof significantly limits our competitive potential for attracting and retaining a number of commercial and industrial activities and a number of manufacturing uses. Right now, we actually have two projects pending that involve relatively large flex space in the City of Dover. They may not be feasible if the clear building space is retained as it is today. They have also looked at other Ordinances at other municipalities with whom we compete to make sure that we are not unnecessarily limiting our competitive opportunities. In addition to addressing the height of the building, we have also looked at the rest of the text requirements including the very old requirement that all manufacturing uses be determined as a Conditional Use. We find that its expense and the uncertainty in delay discourage some applicants coming to the City of Dover. They have approved other changes to the IPM Zones to allow warehousing and transshipment and those were kind of uses but we have not amended the Manufacturing District to make them consistent. We also recognize that they did not include as a permitted use railroad yard siding and railroad related storage facilities. Our railroad sites have become extremely valuable commodities in the absence of a promised permitted use in that classification becomes a limiting factor. They made some adjustments to the uses that could be considered accessory. Mostly relating to modern warehousing, industrial, and manufacturing kinds of abilities. It is a series of changes to the text of the Manufacturing Zone to allow us to be much more competitive and allow us to reach out to recruit additional industry manufacturing into the City of Dover and encourage people to invest their money in Dover facilities. Mr. Hartman stated that based on the presentation from Mr. Hugg, it seems that this change has a lot of merit and is a good idea. Contained in the Report, there is a comment about the Fire Chief’s concern with ladders. Could he understand a little bit more about that? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Hugg stated that he wishes the Fire Marshal was actually available to answer that question. Apparently, there are some limitations to the maximum height of ladder trucks that are available to the Dover Fire Department and some concern about reaching the top of the structures. He would note that buildings of this type are fully sprinkled and are primarily steel buildings which have a different fire rating. Most of the concerns as he reads the comment has to do with high-rise and mid-rise buildings which he would consider to be residential and not manufacturing or industrial kinds of buildings. We do have a number of buildings in the City of Dover that are in excess of 60 feet. The Uzin & Utz facility, for example, out in the business park and obviously the hospital. There are a number of buildings that are greater than 60 feet so he 8 13

Item 3. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 18, 2021 thinks this is a valid observation but he doesn’t think that it is one that would require a cut down of the maximum height. Actually maximum height in most of the areas that we are dealing with is limited more by the Air Force and their Compatibility Zone (Note: This is the AEOZ and associated AICUZ Study). Mr. Hartman asked if it would be fair to request the Fire Chief address City Council when this comes before Council. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Hugg stated that he can certainly ask them to do that. The Fire Marshal referenced from the Fire Chief so most definitely we can do that. Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing. Mr. Nathan Attard – 452 East Loockerman Street Dover, DE 19904 Mr. Attard stated that he is generally supportive. The only thing that he would highlight to the Planning Commission is the parking requirements that are required. Manufacturing has really changed quite a bit to now require a lot more space and a lot fewer employees. He knows that when it came to the Delmarva Corrugated Plant, we required by City Code the building of way more parking than was actually needed. That is a project that when it comes to State or City Council and development finance subsidies, it is substantial. We literally drive up the cost of a project by a dated parking requirement. While you guys are striking some things in this section of the Code, he would really encourage you to look at that. Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing. Mrs. Welsh moved to recommend approval to City Council for application MI-21-10 Text Amendment: Manufacturing Zone (M), seconded by Mrs. Malone and the motion was carried 9-0 by roll call vote. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; it seems to be a needed revision to the documents in order to allow manufacturing plants to better serve the Dover community. Mrs. Malone voting yes; for reasons stated. Mr. Cooper voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Roach voting yes; for the reasons previously and he also wants to thank Planning Staff for their due diligence and their thoroughness with these text amendments. Every time we get them, he reads them and is just in awe at the fact of their attention to detail to be able to make sure that we continue to progress in a positive place. Mrs. Lord voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on the merits outlined in the Report given in the packet dated October 18, 2021 and the presentation by Mr. Hugg. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; based on the outline that we have and the fact that they are changes made to help us move forward. Dr. Jones voting yes; for all of the reasons previously stated. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; she is very supportive of modernizing our Ordinances and she would also encourage Staff to take the comment regarding parking into consideration. NEW BUSINESS Implementation of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan: Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project and Comprehensive Plan Amendments Set #2 - Updated Maps and Table 12-1 Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that these are documents that you will need to insert into your 9 14

Item 3. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 18, 2021 physical copy of the Comprehensive Plan and it already has the holes punched. These are the final documents as adopted from actions that were taken earlier this year when we had a set of Comprehensive Plan Amendments that were associated with that Comprehensive Rezoning Project. This now includes the changes to the Land Development Plan Matrix which is Table 12- 1 and then the changes to the Land Development Plan Map Series Map 12-1 which we present in a full view of the City and then in the series of Inset Maps. She does want to send a thank you to Ms. Bulkilvish. She is the GIS guru behind the mapping and is kind of trying to wrap up this project since we got it adopted. She got all of our Zoning Maps updated which you can see on the Dover Parcel and Zoning Viewer that is available on the City’s website. Any time that you are looking at a Rezoning, these two (Land Use Matrix Table and Map Series) come into play when considering Rezoning Applications. Discussion on Future Planning Commission Workshop Topics of Interest Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that in the past, the Planning Commission has held Quarterly Workshops. We would meet at a lunch time and spend an hour with a little bit of educational opportunity for you. We may look to restart those after the first of the year but we want to at least give you an opportunity to tell us what you would like to learn more about. If you have chosen your five from this list or added others, you can certainly get that information to Planning Staff. We just kind of brainstormed a quick list. If you have a Meeting night that is light in the number of applications, we may try to include some of that in some presentations for those months. Certainly let us know what you want to learn more about or what would help make your job that much easier. If there is a particular thing that we have not listed, please include that. We have tried to give a variety of options here and we would be happy to answer any kind of questions that you have. In the past, for those that are new, the format would be a lunch time meeting. We have served something for lunch so that if you are a working individual, you could at least join us for a little bit and take care of having lunch and learn a little bit at the same time. In other instances, we have done them in conjunction with Planning Commission Meetings if you have a light agenda. She will note that the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration is planning a series of workshops and they will be restarting that in January. They kind of do one a month. She believes that they will still be in a virtual format so those of you who haven’t done that series before, we certainly encourage it. It begins with the basics of “What Is Planning?” and then goes through a little bit more advanced. If you have taken it before, you can certainly take it again. We will be getting you information on those upcoming trainings availability probably later this year. Meeting adjourned at 8:15 PM. Sincerely, Kristen Mullaney Secretary 10 15

Item 5. City of Dover PETITION TO ANNEX PORTIONS OF RIGHT-OF-WAY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF November 3, 2021 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF November 15, 2021 File Number: AX-21-04 Ordinance Number: 2021-23 Area Location: Right-of-way located northeast of the intersection of College Road and the Lands of Delmarva Railroad (Railroad Corridor). Tax Parcel ID #: In the vicinity of parcels ED-05-067.00-02-53.00-000 and ED-05-067.00-02-56.00-000 Area Size: Right of Way Areas Area 1: Raymond Street (aka Jason Street) 0.6447 acres Area 2: Railroad Avenue 0.8737 acres Area 3: Grove Street 0.1607 acres TOTAL: 1.6791 acres +/- 2019 Comprehensive Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas (Enclave) Plan Designation: Present Use: Improved and Unimproved Right-of-Way Proposed Use: Improved Right-of-Way Additional Details: The area in question was plotted in 1899 and can be seen on a plan titled “The College Settlement Company” (Exhibit attached). Over the years parcels and right-of-way have been annexed into the City of Dover. With some of the annexations it is unclear whether the right-of-way was brought into the City at the same time. Staff is continuing to research the prior annexations from 1973-2006 adjoining these rights-of-way and have found that some of the descriptions of the areas annexed include the right-of-way and some do not. This application is meant to clarify that the remaining right-of- way of Raymond Street, Railroad Avenue, and Grove Street are brought into the City to reduce an enclave and to ensure the proper right-of way is established for future development of parcels that have already been annexed into the City. P. O. Box 475 Dover, DE 19903 Community Excellence Through Quality Service 17

Item 5. Utility Availability: Electric: All surrounding parcels are currently in the Electric Service Area. Water and Sanitary Sewer: The above referenced rights-of-way currently have some water and sanitary sewer already installed. To have the City of Dover accept this annexation, the water and sanitary sewer infrastructure must be brought up to current City standards, as indicated in the Water/Wastewater Handbook. This includes, but is not limited to, the size, material, and slope of infrastructure, as well as a video recording of the sanitary sewer to verify satisfactory condition. The upgrades will be required to be paid by the developer. It is recommended that other utilities (telecommunication, gas) be notified of this annexation in order to upgrade their utilities, if necessary. All utility upgrades shall be completed prior to the final street widening and/or improvements. Staff Recommendation: It is the Staff’s recommendation that the right-of-way known as Raymond Street (aka Jason Street), Grove Street, and Railroad Avenue be annexed into the City to close an enclave and “clean up” the City boundary by including areas of right-of-way that were intended to be included in the City upon the previous annexations of neighboring properties. Furthermore, certain utilities are already available in this area under some of the right-of-way described and can be brought up to current standards with any further development of the area. 18

Item 5. City of CITY OF DOVER Dover Planning Office DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY D.A.C. MEETING DATE: November 3, 2021 APPLICATION: Annexation Clarification of Right-of-Way known as Raymond Street (aka Jason Street), Grove Street, and Railroad Avenue FILE #: AX-21-04 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning CONTACT PERSON: Samantha Bulkilvish, AICP, Planner II PHONE #: (302) 736-7196 Dawn Melson-Williams, AICP, Principal Planner I. Summary This application is for an Annexation Clarification of three Rights-of-Way known as Raymond Street (aka Jason Street), Grove Street, and Railroad Avenue north of College Road and east of the Lands of Delaware Railroad. The area of the Right-of-Way in question totals 1.6791 acres or 73,141.6 SF +/-. Tax Parcel: In the vicinity of parcels ED-05-067.00-02-53.00-000 and ED-05-067.00-02-56.00-000. II. Existing Property The land area is located on the north side of College Road, but not adjacent to it and to the east of the railroad corridor. They are the original Rights-of-Way plotted in 1899 for The College Settlement Company and shown on Plot Book A, Page 85 as portions of Railroad Avenue, Grove Street and Jason Street (Exhibit Plan Attached). The Right-of-Ways are bordered with property that has since been annexed into the City of Dover with the exception of a portion of Jason Street (now known as Raymond Street) which still has property that is within Kent County on its south side. See the series of Plan Exhibits (prepared by Pennoni Associates) for the Right-of-Ways. More specifically the portions of Right-Of-Way can be described as follows: • Area 1: Right-of-way segment of Raymond Street (aka Jason Street) from Mishoe Street to Railroad Avenue at the railroad corridor. Width of 35 feet. Area Size: 0.6447 acres +/- (28,084 SF) • Area 2: Right-of-way segment of Railroad Avenue from Raymond Street and extending north approximately 1090.24 feet parallel to the railroad corridor. Width of 35 feet. Area Size 0.8737 acres +/- (38,057 SF) • Area 3: Right-of-way segment of Grove Street from Raymond Street and extending north approximately 200 feet to previously abandoned portion of Grove Street. Width of 35 feet. Area Size: 0.1607 acres+/- (7,000SF) The reason for annexation is to reduce an enclave in the City of Dover Boundary and to provide opportunities for access to parcels that have already been annexed into the City.

Item 5. AX-21-04 Annexation Clarification of Right-of-Way known as Raymond Street, Grove Street, and Railroad Avenue DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 2 III. Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding land uses are primarily residential. The properties to the north and east are primarily vacant except for an apartment building along the north side of the improved portion of Raymond Street. The properties to the south of Raymond Street are a mixture of single-family homes, mobile homes/manufactured homes, and vacant land. There is one parcel to the south of Railroad Avenue that has an institutional use and is owned by Delaware State University. IV. Comprehensive Plan In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Map 13-1: Potential Annexation Areas identifies the property in the Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas. The Growth and Annexation Plan Chapter (Chapter 13) notes that “Lands in this category are primarily enclaves of unincorporated territory mostly surrounded by the City of Dover. In all or most of these cases, the City provides these parcels with one or more essential service (sewer, water, police, fire, etc.).” The Comprehensive Plan also sets the review criteria for the review of zoning for parcels being proposed for annexation. Chapter 13, page 13-9 notes that the Zoning Review may include: • Proposed zoning be in compliance with the land use category shown on Map 13-2 and used in conjunction with Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix; • Character and compatibility of the surrounding land uses and properties; • The street type and capacity serving the property; • Environmental concerns and conditions that may influence land use and zoning; • Market concerns and conditions; • The compatibility with the overall goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The areas in question are not parcels, but right-of-way which would not be assigned a Land Use Category or zoning classification. V. Research and Findings Annexations in the Area The area to the north and south of College Road and to the east of the Lands of Delaware Railroad was platted in 1899 and recorded with the Kent County Recorder of Deeds (Plot Book A, Page 85) as the “Plot of Land Belonging to The College Settlement Company.” This Plat shows 215 lots and right of way including Railroad Avenue, Grove Street, and Jason Street. Through the years between 1973 and 2006 portions of this subdivision were annexed into the City of Dover. See the summary listing of Annexations below. The Lot numbers are those used in the College Settlement Plat. • 1973 – The Lands of Luna Mishoe were annexed which included Lots 153-167, 179-188, and 189-196. The Resolution for this annexation is silent as to the annexation of any adjacent right-of-way. (Annexation #73-1) • 1977 – College Road and the Lands of Burden (Lot 151) were annexed into the City of Dover. This annexed the right-of-way of College Road from the railroad to the St. Jones River. (Annexation #77-2) (Current Property Address: 331 College Road) • 1983 – The Lands of Joe Burden (Lots 177 and 178) were annexed into the City and in the description given in the Resolution the portion of Jason Street that the two lots 20

Item 5. AX-21-04 Annexation Clarification of Right-of-Way known as Raymond Street, Grove Street, and Railroad Avenue DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 3 fronted on was also annexed. (Annexation #83-1) (Current Property Address: 10 Mishoe Street and part of the right-of-way of Mishoe Street.) • 1987 – The Lands of Raymond Fisher (Lot 176) was annexed into the City and in the description given in the Resolution the portion of Jason Street that the lot fronted on was also annexed. (Annexation #87-1) (Current Property Address: 315 Raymond Street) • 1993 – Lands of Jemm Investors described as 1.2890 acres of land with its southwest corner starting at the intersection of College Road and the lands of Delaware Railroad Company and extending northwest to the south line of Jason Street, but not including any right-of-way of Jason Street. (Annexation #93-3) (Current Property Address: 255 College Road) • 2006 – Lands of College Road Management Inc., Kent Storage Facilities, LLC, and Loralex Company, LLC. consisting of four (4) parcels containing 30.766 acres north of Raymond Street (aka Jason Street) and east of the railroad corridor and Railroad Avenue with the eastern boundary of the subject area being the St. Jones River. In the Resolution the property description for annexation includes a portion of Raymond Street (aka Jason Street) the same length as the width of parcel ED-05-067.00-02-53.00-000. (Annexation AX-06-02) While the right-of-way was not explicitly described in the resolutions of the majority of these properties annexed into the City it is the City Solicitor’s understanding that because the right-of- way was originally platted for public use that as the properties were annexed the adjacent right- of-way should have been annexed as well. From our research it appears that portions of Raymond Street (aka Jason Street) were included in the annexations of certain adjacent parcels at its west and east ends. The Annexation Resolutions today are written in a way to ensure that the adjacent right-of-way is annexed into the City at the same time adjacent properties are annexed. The purpose of this Annexation Application is to clarify that all portions of right-of-way known as Raymond Street (aka Jason Street), Grove Street and Railroad Avenue shall be annexed into the City of Dover. Street Name Change In August of 2001 City Council voted to approve the Street Name Change from Jason Street to Raymond Street. The request was previously reviewed by the Planning Commission and the Utility Committee which both recommended approval. The name change was related to the Development of the University Courtyard Apartments and the renaming of Waters Street, south of College Road, to Jason Street prompting the need to change the Right-of-Way formerly known as Jason Street to the north of College Road to Raymond Street. City of Dover Street Maintenance The portion of Raymond Street starting at Mishoe Street and extending 0.04 miles west has been dedicated to the City of Dover for maintenance. See Email with map diagram of location. VI. Recommendation of Planning Staff: Staff recommends the annexation of the rights-of-way known as Raymond Street (aka Jason Street), Grove Street, and Railroad Avenue to reduce an enclave of the City Boundary and to clarify portions of right-of-way that should have been annexed in the past. The subject property is in the City’s Annexation Plan of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan as Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas. The annexation of the rights-of-way would allow 21

Item 5. AX-21-04 Annexation Clarification of Right-of-Way known as Raymond Street, Grove Street, and Railroad Avenue DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 4 for the development of properties that have already been annexed into the City and would reduce an enclave in the City Boundary. Staff research shows that portions of the Right-of-Way Areas were already annexed. The Annexation of the three Right-of-Way Areas will clarify that these areas as described are within the City of Dover and that their future development/improvement will be subject to City Street Standards. This recommendation is being made without the benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding landowners and residents. A Public Hearing is required on this matter and the Planning Commission should give those comments consideration. The land in question is simply right-of- way so there is no recommended zoning to accompany this annexation. Since it is right-of-way that was plotted in 1899 and intended to be used by the public it is the City Solicitor’s interpretation that the City should have annexed the adjacent right-of-way when the properties in the vicinity were annexed from 1973 – 2006. VII. ADVISORY COMMENTS 1) The Plan of Services is being prepared for this Annexation Area and will be submitted to the Office of State Planning Coordination upon completion for their approval. 2) From the agency comments received, there may be some existing City water and sewer installed. Any existing infrastructure will have to be brought up to current City standards as defined in the Water/Wastewater Handbook. Any new development or upgrades to existing infrastructure would be paid for by the developer. 3) From agency comments received, a portion of Raymond Street (aka Jason Street), 0.04 miles extending west from Mishoe Street, is currently a City maintained road. Ultimately any roadway constructed in the right-of-way will require dedication to the City of Dover. 4) Upon annexation into the City of Dover, the land area will be subject to the provisions of the Dover Code of Ordinances. This includes procedures such as review processes for plans and permits for construction activities, street construction standards, etc. 5) Any future development plans tied to the annexation of right-of-way are subject to review by the Planning Office and the Development Advisory Committee (D.A.C.). If the extent of the development warrants review by the Planning Commission a public hearing date will be set, and Planning Commission may grant Conditional Approval. All comments from the D.A.C. shall be addressed prior to Final Plan Approval from the Planning Office. 6) It is noted that the approval of any Annexation application does not represent a Building 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. 7) Regarding improvements of and connection to City services (water and/or sanitary sewer), the City’s Department of Water & Wastewater must be contacted for procedures, permitting and impact fees. 22

Milton, DE 19968 T: 302-684-8030 F: 302-684-8054 www.pennoni.com THE COLLEGE SETTLEMENT COMPANY ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY ANNEXATION OVERVIEW NARRATIVE City of Dover, East Dover Hundred, Kent County, Delaware The intent of this narrative is to support for the application for annexation of Railroad Avenue, Grove Street, and Raymond Street. All these streets are represented on the recorded Plot Book A, Page 85; titled “Plot of Land Belonging to The College Settlement Company, Dated 1899. Over time properties shown on this recorded plan have been joined together to change the configuration of the original plot. The roads that are the subject of this annexation request are believed to be within the Kent County jurisdiction, so we are seeking to have the Right-of-Ways annexed into the corporate limits of the City of Dover. We have provided a plan that McCrone prepared dated December of 2005 which shows an annexation of additional parcels into the City of Dover adjacent to the roads. All these Right-of-Way that we are seeking to be annexed are all 35 foot wide. Railroad Avenue Railroad Avenue runs coincident with the eastern side of the Delaware Railroad Company’s Right -of- Way. Along the eastern side of Railroad Avenue are the parcels from The College Settlement Company, dated 1899. This plan created a 35 foot wide Right-of-Way for said road. A portion of Railroad Avenue was previously vacated (DB F 52, PG 73) between Raymond Street and College Avenue and transferred to the adjacent parcel owners. However, from the southerly side of Raymond Street north, is the section that our client is making application to be annexed into the City of Dover. Raymond Street (a.k.a Jason Street) Raymond Street is also known as Jason Street on the from The College Settlement Company plan, dated 1899. This street is actively being used and is surrounded by parcels that have already been annexed into the City of Dover. Raymond Street’s Right-of-Way is 35 feet and runs from the east side of Mishoe Road to Railroad Avenue and is the section of Raymond Street that our client is making application to be annexed into the City of Dover. Grove Street Grove Street is found on The College Settlement Company plan, dated 1899, and is a northerly running road from Raymond Street and parallel with Railroad Avenue. A portion of Grove Street north of Lot 189 was vacated and has become part of the property to the north, but a portion of Grove Avenue still remains along Lot 189. This second portion was not abandoned or conveyed to adjacent parcel owners (DB F 52, PG 73) and remains as a Right-of-Way. This remaining portion of the Grove Street Right-of-Way is the section that our client is making application to be annexed into the City of Dover. 2021-09-23 PLAWX19001 34

The following sections of the Zoning Ordinance which relates to the role of the Commission in reviewing Conditional Use Site Plan applications are particularly relevant when reviewing this application: Article 10 §1.1 Accessibility for emergency response. That all proposed structures, equipment or material shall be readily accessible for fire, ambulance, police, and other emergency response; Article 10 §1.2 Harmony of location, size and character. That the proposed use shall be of such location, siz, and character that, in general, it will be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the zone in which it is proposed to be situated and will not be detrimental to the orderly development of adjacent properties in accordance with the zoning classification of such properties; Pending Amendments to the M (Manufacturing Zone) It is noted that a series of Text Amendments have been proposed to the M (Manufacturing Zone) including removal of the requirement for Conditional Use approval, revisions the permitted uses, and revisions to the bulk standards especially related to height. This Proposed Ordinance #2021- 19 was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission on October 18, 2021 and will be considered for final adoption by the City Council on November 8, 2021. (Application MI-21-10) AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone) The application subject to the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone): Noise Zone A and APZ I (Accident Potential Zone I) whose requirements may be found in the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 22. Article 3 Section 22.6 provides a Land Use Compatibility Table that specifically lays out permitted as well as restricted uses within the various Airport Environs Overlay Zones. The site is partially located within Noise Zone A (65dB-69dB) and partially within Accident Potential Zone I (APZ I). The location of the property in the APZ I may limit the types of manufacturing or other activities allowed. The Noise Zone A may require an interior noise level reduction of twenty-five (25) decibels or more in construction of the building. The proposed land uses (including any tenants within the buildings) must comply with the permitted uses of the M (Manufacturing) Zoning District (Article 3 §19) and the Land Use Compatibility Table of the AEOZ (Article 3 §22.6). The application generally meets the requirements of the M Zone for the proposed uses. However, as each specific tenant is identified, the use must be reviewed through a Permit Review process for compliance with the M Zone and the AEOZ Land Use Compatibility Table. IV. PARKING SUMMARY The parking requirement for most uses in the M (Manufacturing Zone) is based on a rate of one parking space per 800 square feet of floor area or one parking spaces per employee, per largest 51

Item 6. C-21-07 Lands of First State Business center, LLC: Two Buildings at 30 Lafferty Lane DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 4 working shift (if greater than the requirement under the floor area calculation). Based on a total floor area of 296,400 SF the facility would require 371 parking spaces. The plan notes a total of 599 parking spaces. The Plan shows multiple parking lot areas for vehicles surrounding the two buildings. The Plan identified eight (8) parking spaces with Electric Vehicle charging stations. Loading Berths Article 6 Section 4.2 of the Zoning Ordinance states that for manufacturing, wholesale, or storage uses in the M or IPM zone, and for buildings in excess of 150,000 square feet in any zone, sufficient off-street loading berths shall be provided. Staff will determine the sufficiency of the loading berths after reviewing written documentation from the applicant through the Site Plan review process. With each building proposed here, the length of one side of each building consists of a series of loading spaces. Each space is 15 feet wide by 60 feet deep. Building A has 56 spaces and Building B has 70 spaces (as counted). Additionally, the site includes a separate paved parking lot area for Trailer parking consisting of seventy (70) spaces. Bicycle Parking Bicycle parking shall be provided for parking spaces at a rate of one (1) bicycle parking space for every twenty (20) parking spaces. Based on the 599 parking spaces provided, thirty (30) bicycle spaces are required. The Plans submitted note Bicycle Parking spaces being provided at four locations adjacent to the building each consisting of eight (8) parking slots for a total of thirty-two (32) spaces. V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS Access The property is accessed via off of Lafferty Lane with several points of access. Two of the access points are directly into vehicle parking areas to serve employees. The third entrance is much wider to accommodate truck traffic as it aligns with the drive aisle serving the loading space area between the two Buildings. Since Lafferty Lane is a State maintained road, Entrance Plan approval for these access points is required from DelDOT. Planning Staff notes that the adjacent property to the east known as Cassidy Commons includes a private street known as Cassidy Drive and a proposed street (named Construction Drive). A portion of Cassidy Drive has been constructed as is privately maintained. Construction Drive, which runs east-west was to provide cross-access to the adjoining properties such as this one. This street was initially proposed to facilitate access to any potential future developments on the sites immediately to the east and west of the subject site and become part of a larger street network in the general area. Construction Drive has not been built. In the recent review of Application C-21-01 for the continued buildout of Cassidy Commons, the Planning Commission required the construction of this street prior to issuance of the permits for Building 7 of the Cassidy Commons project. Construction Drive was shown labeled as cross-access easement and as a proposed 60 ft. right-of-way on a Record Plan recorded in April 2012 (KCRD Plat Book 117 page 56). It offers an opportunity for cross-access between properties. 52

Item 6. C-21-07 Lands of First State Business center, LLC: Two Buildings at 30 Lafferty Lane DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 5 Lighting Lighting of parking areas is required. The plan does not show the location of building mounted or freestanding light poles in the parking lot areas. The Trailer Parking Lots does shown lighting poles at the corners of the lot. Dumpsters Industrial/warehousing buildings require two (2) dumpster pad for the first 80,000 S.F. of building area and one (1) for each additional 40,000 S.F. of building area or a fraction thereof. Based on this calculation, four (4) Dumpsters are required for Building A and five (5) are required for Building B. The method of private trash collection and Dumpster Pads need to be identified on the plan. A Dumpster enclosure detail shall be provided on the plan to ensure that the architectural components of the Dumpster enclosures match the construction materials of the proposed buildings. Sidewalks Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Sidewalk Sidewalk is required along all street frontages. Sidewalk/Pathway in the format of a Shared-Use Path appears to be proposed along Lafferty Lane with one exception. There is a short segment where no pathway is depicted near the wetlands area at the start of the western property corner. The Plan has one connecting sidewalk leading into the site from the street frontage pathway. The complete sidewalk system within the site is unclear, especially around the buildings. The Plan does include a sidewalk from the Trailer Parking Lot north towards the two main buildings. There is a short segment of the property’s frontage on Lafferty Lane where the Shared-Use Path is not shown at the southwest corner of the property. The Applicant has submitted a Waiver Request seeking relief from construction of the sidewalk (path) in location citing the existing conditions related to road right-of-way section and nearby wetland areas. As Lafferty Lane is a State maintained roadway, DelDOT will also review any work in right-of-way or sidewalk elimination in accordance with their regulations as well. See attached Waiver Request. Curbing The parking areas and access drives are required to be curbed with upright curbing (Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 §3.6). Curbing appears to be provided throughout the site. There are several small curb cuts related to stormwater management. VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE The proposed two buildings are to be constructed under this plan as a tilt wall panel system (masonry) which is then painted. The wall surfaces are divided by horizontal and vertical reveals (scoring). At the building corners there are aluminum framed entry doors and window systems. Along the length of the main elevations are multiple other paired sets of entry doors with a metal canopy. The loading space side of the buildings is not depicted. VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN Tree Planting Requirements The Zoning Ordinance further requires a tree planting/landscape plan for at a rate of one tree per 3,000 SF of development area. The area of woodland to be retained can be removed from the tree 53

Item 6. C-21-07 Lands of First State Business center, LLC: Two Buildings at 30 Lafferty Lane DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 6 planting calculation: this listed as 2.251 acres. Based on the development areas of 27.749 acres (30 - 2.251 acres), a total of 403 trees are required. The Plan notes 414 trees being provided. The trees are located throughout the development with concentrations around the parking lot areas and the wetland and stormwater management facilities, and along certain property boundaries. The trees include a variety of deciduous, evergreen, and ornamental trees. Wetland Areas The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §11.22 prescribes provisions related to wetland areas. There are setback requirements from wetland areas that are over 0.25 acres in size. With Wetland Area A located on the southwest property boundary, a 100-foot setback is required; however, this can be reduced to 50 feet with implementation of a Riparian Buffer and 30 feet for bank stabilization activities. The project site layout reduces the Buffer; and in these areas, the Riparian Buffer is proposed with new tree and shrub plantings and with preservation of existing trees and vegetation. Buffer from Residential Properties A portion of the property includes a parking area that is across the street from two residences. The Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 §5.43 requires implementation of screening. The Landscape Plan proposes the planting of a screening hedge of Stonehedge Yews between the head of the parking spaces and the shared-use pathway. VII. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS REVIEW Uses in the M Zone are subject to the Performance Standards Procedure set forth in the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5, Section 8.1 and 8.2 and referenced sections. Article 5 §8.1 Dangerous and objectionable elements. No land or building in any zone shall be used or occupied in any manner so as to cause any one or more of the following conditions to exist and to be dangerous, injurious, noxious or offensive beyond the boundaries of such premises in such a manner or in such amount as to adversely affect the reasonable use of the surrounding area or adjoining premises: Fire, explosive or other hazard; noise, or vibration; smoke, dust, odor or other form of air pollution; heat, cold, dampness or electromagnetic disturbance; glare, liquid or solid refuse or waste; traffic congestion causing roadways or intersections in the surrounding highway network to fall below acceptable levels of comfort and convenience; or other substance, condition or element (referred to hereinafter as "dangerous or objectionable elements"), provided that any use permitted or not expressly prohibited by this ordinance may be undertaken and maintained if it conforms to the regulations of this section limiting dangerous and objectionable elements at the point of the determination of their existence. The project’s compliance with a series of performance standards for the “dangerous and objectionable elements” had previously considered by the Planning Commission. The “dangerous and objectionable elements” are as follows: • Fire and explosion hazards (activities with and storage of) • Radioactivity or electromagnetic disturbance • Noise (sound pressure level) • Vibration • Smoke • Odors (Odorous gases or odorous matter) • Fly ash, dust, fumes, vapors, gases and other forms of air pollution 54

Item 6.

The specific limits of each performance standard are described in the Zoning Ordinance. Where the performance standards conflict with regulations established by other state or local agencies such as the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), the more restrictive regulations apply. As part of this procedure, a Performance Standard Review Application is required to accompany this Plan submission for review and approval. The Applicant has submitted a Performance Standard Review Application Letter indicating how the proposed development would restrict the emission of dangerous and objectionable elements detailed in Article 5, Section 8.5. VIII. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS: The subject proposal has been reviewed for code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness in accordance with the agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following items have been identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant: 1) A Performance Standard Review Application is required to accompany this Plan submission for review and approval by the Planning Commission. The applicant has submitted a Performance Standard Review Application Letter to the Planning Office indicating how the proposed development would restrict the emission of dangerous and objectionable elements detailed in Zoning Ordinance, Article 5, Section 8.5. 2) With the pending Text Amendment to the M zone and its requirements, additional review for compliance with the new bulk standards (if adopted) will be necessary for this plan. The proposed Text Amendment will be considered with Ordinance #2021-19 at the City Council Meeting of November 8, 2021 3) Since a portion of the required street frontage sidewalk is not shown to be provided as the Shared-Use Pathway, a Waiver Request to eliminate that segment was submitted for consideration by the Planning Commission.

Item 7. City of Dover CITY OF DOVER Planning Office DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY D.A.C. MEETING DATE: November 3, 2021 APPLICATION: Modwash Car Wash at 1414 North DuPont Highway FILE #: S-21-10 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning CONTACT PERSON: Julian Swierczek, AICP PHONE #: (302) 736-7196 I. PLAN SUMMARY This application is for review of a Site Plan Application for construction of a 4,660 SF Car Wash facility and associated site improvements. The property is zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) and is subject to SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone): Tier 3 – Excellent Recharge Area. The property consists of 1.93 acres (83,999 SF) and is located on the west side of North DuPont Highway, south of Rustic Lane. The owner of record is Dover Millex II, LLC and the developer is Hutton Build (Ray Garganio). Property Address: 1414 N. DuPont Highway. Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-057.00-01-17.00-000. Previous Applications: The most recent Application was Site Development Plan Application S-07-56 Saturn Dealership that was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their November 2007 meeting. This Application did not achieve Final Plan Approval and has since expired. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property is currently vacant and consists of 1.93 acres and is located on the west side of North DuPont Highway. The project proposes a one-story 4,660 SF building to be utilized as the new Car Wash. The site is to be accessed via an access point directly off of the southbound lanes North DuPont Highway which leads to a drive aisle providing access to the parking areas as well as the main car washing facilities. Additional site features include eighteen (18) parking spaces, each with accompanying vacuum cleaning equipment. There are also seven (7) parking spaces along the north property line, which are noted as being for employee use, and do not have any associated vehicle service equipment. Surrounding Land Uses: To the south and north of the subject site are properties that are similarly zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) and a retail center and hotel respectively. To the rear (or west) of the site, opposite North DuPont Highway, is land zoned IO (Industrial and Office Zone). This property is a largely undeveloped area of the Delaware State University Campus, being primarily wooded and otherwise containing the school’s softball field. Immediately across North DuPont Highway to the 98

Item 7. S-21-10 ModWash Car Wash at 1414 N. DuPont Highway DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 2 east are properties zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) and utilized by the Delaware State Police. There is also a property zoned C-4 containing the Subaru Dealership. Behind these properties is land zoned SC-3 (Shopping Center Zone) and containing the Dover Mall. III. ZONING REVIEW C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) The C-4 Zoning District in the City of Dover permits the following: retail stores; business, professional, and government offices; restaurants; personal service establishments; service establishments; hotels and motels; places of public assembly; bus terminals; wholesale, storage, warehousing, and distribution establishments; indoor or outdoor recreation and amusement establishments; hospitals and medical centers; drive-throughs; motor vehicle, boat, or farm equipment service stations subject to conditions; manufacturing with less than 25 employees; and mini-storage facilities. Permitted conditionally subject to Conditional Use approval by the Planning Commission: apartments and multi-family dwellings; crematories subject to conditions. See City of Dover Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 16 for more details on the C-4 zoning district. The use of a Car Wash Facility is considered a Service Establishment, which is a permitted use in the C-4 Zoning District. SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) The site is also subject to the Source Water Protection Overlay Zone (SWPOZ). The purpose of the SWPOZ is to establish additional standards and requirements for property within the zone including the prohibition of certain uses and limitations on impervious surfaces, ground cover, and floor area ratios in order to protect, to maintain, and to minimize contamination of drinking water supplies held in groundwater aquifers. Tier 3 areas of the SWPOZ are known as Excellent Recharge Areas. See City of Dover Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 29 for more details on the SWPOZ. Within the Source Water Protection Overlay Zone, there are some sources that are listed as prohibited uses within that area. These prohibited uses can be found in Article 3 Section 29.5 of the Zoning Ordinance; see code excerpt below. For storage tanks, there are also prohibitions on underground storage tanks and limitations to above ground storage tanks; see definitions within Zoning Ordinance. Article 3 Section 29 29.5 Uses prohibited. The following uses are specifically prohibited throughout the source water protection overlay zone: 29.51 Uses prohibited: a) Automobile body/repair shop, motor vehicle, boat or farm equipment service; b) Gas stations and motor vehicle service stations; c) Fleet/trucking/bus terminal; d) Dry cleaner; e) Electrical/electronic manufacturing facility; f) Machine shop; g) Metal plating/finishing/fabricating facility; h) Chemical processing/storage facility; i) Wood preserving/treating facility; j) Junk yard/scrap yard/salvage yard; k) Mines/gravel pit; l) Land divisions resulting in high density (> one unit/acre) septic systems; 99

Item 7. S-21-10 ModWash Car Wash at 1414 N. DuPont Highway DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 3 m) Equipment maintenance/fueling areas; n) Injection wells/dry wells/sumps, except for single-family residences directing gutter downspouts to a drywell; o) Underground storage tanks; p) All uses not permitted in the underlying zone district. Previous interpretations by the Planning Director have determined that the use of a Car Wash Facility does not constitute a Motor Vehicle Service. More specifically, the list of prohibited uses in the SWPOZ does not directly name the term “car wash” as a prohibited use. It is determined that the intent of the automobile related uses listed as prohibited uses are more intended for service stations, gas stations, and mechanics shops, not car washes. IV. PARKING SUMMARY The parking requirement for a building with the C-4 zone is one parking space per 300 SF of floor area, or one per every employee, whichever is greater. Based on floor area of 4,660 SF the facility would require sixteen (16) parking spaces. The plan appears to show a total of twenty- five (25) parking spaces. This includes eighteen (18) parking spaces with vacuum service equipment, as well as an additional seven (7) parking spaces for use by employees. A loading space is not required for this type of use. Bicycle Parking Bicycle parking is required at a ratio of one space for every twenty parking spaces. If the site is to be served by 25 parking spaces, two bicycle parking spaces are required. Currently, none are shown on the Plans submitted. The Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 Section 3.10 does allow for the Applicant to request a Waiver from the requirements to provide bicycle parking from the Planning Commission; however, the Applicant has communicated to Planning Staff that they intend to provide the bicycle parking as required. This feature will need to be added to the Plans in the Final Plan review process in order to obtain Final Plan Approval. V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS Access There is one vehicle access point proposed for the site directly off North DuPont Highway. This connects to a two-way drive aisle which provides direct access to the employee parking area, as well as three payment kiosks (for the car wash) to the rear (west) end of the property. These gates continue then to the single drive-through feature of the main building. Upon exiting the Car Wash Building, this single drive aisle provides access to a parking lot of eighteen (18) parking spaces, each with vacuum equipment, and also back to the main two-way drive aisle to exit. It is unclear if the vacuum parking spaces are intended to only be accessible to guests after exiting the Car Wash, or if it is possible to access them directly without first having to drive through the main building. If the latter, then traffic has a point of conflict as customers would have to drive against traffic exiting the main car wash facility. An additional concern is that the circulation pattern would seem to force all persons driving a vehicle on site to have to exit by way of travel through the carwash entry kiosk/gates, including employees (or make a multi-point turn utilizing the employee parking spaces). After the gates, there is an escape drive aisle prior to the Car Wash Building that leads back to the main drive aisle. The overall traffic circulation 100

Item 7. S-21-10 ModWash Car Wash at 1414 N. DuPont Highway DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 4 pattern on the Site must be evaluated. Sidewalks/Pedestrian Circulation Sidewalks are required along all street frontages. The plan shows existing and proposed new sidewalks along the street frontage of North DuPont Highway. This includes the existing 5-foot wide sidewalk along the North DuPont Highway frontage, as well as a 5-foot wide sidewalk proposed to replace an existing site access point which is to be removed. Doing so will provide a contiguous sidewalk across the entire North DuPont Highway frontage, including a marked pedestrian crosswalk of the proposed new vehicle access point. All existing sidewalks must be evaluated for compliance with City standards (Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §18). There is no pedestrian-dedicated access into the site shown in the Plans. Lighting Article 5 §7.1 stipulates that lighting shall provide no less than 1.5 foot-candles at grade. Light shall not be distracting to traffic on adjacent roads. Light poles are shown in islands of the parking lot and along parking spaces located to the north of the property. Dumpsters There is not a specific Dumpster requirement for this type of use. A Dumpster enclosure of wooden/ composite materials construction is proposed on the northeast corner of the site, just off the main entrance off North DuPont Highway. There is a Site Plan Details Sheet that notes the Dumpster enclosure is to be gated and surrounded by a 6-foot wood fence and screening plantings. The applicants must ensure that the Dumpsters are enough to meet the trash collection and recycling needs of the site. Planning Staff is concerned of the prominence of this feature as it is located closer to North DuPont Highway than the building itself, and the enclosure has its access off the main drive aisle near the site entrance. The Applicant has indicated their willingness to work with Planning Staff on the location of the Dumpster. They have additionally provided a picture of a Dumpster enclosure at another ModWash site to provide details as to the overall appearance of the planned Dumpster enclosure. It will be of the required height and clad in horizontal paneling in a variety of blue colors, similar to what is proposed on the façade of parts of the main building. Curbing Waiver Request: Reduction in the Upright Curbing Requirement The upright curbing for the parking lots and drive aisles are subject to the requirements of Article 6 Section 3.6(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. The Applicant has submitted a Waiver Request asking to reduce the Upright Curbing Requirement for certain interior portions of the parking/drive aisles from 6 inches to 4 inches. This is noted to help accommodate vehicles navigating the drive aisles and parking areas. The Waiver Request additionally notes that they are requesting a reduction of the upright curbing from the required 6 inches to be able to instead provide a depressed curb. This would be along the rear (west) of the paved area on site only, and this would be to accommodate sheet flow as part of the overall stormwater management on site. The Applicant has submitted an additional Plan Exhibit noting these areas subject to the Waiver Request. The Applicant has noted they will otherwise provide the 6-inch upright curbing where required on site. 101

Item 7. S-21-10 ModWash Car Wash at 1414 N. DuPont Highway DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 5 VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE The Plan submission includes Elevation Drawings. Said drawings are black and white so exact colors is uncertain; however, some materials are noted. The building has its main vehicle access point opposite North DuPont Highway (West Elevation), with the exit facing North DuPont Highway (East Elevation). The two side elevations are not identified, but as one elevation depicts a door, it is assumed that this elevation faces north towards the parking spaces. This elevation features wood/composite paneling in a horizontal arrangement, seemingly indicating different types or colors to be utilized. The opposite (south) façade notes a series of “painted” panels, but again does not appear to note any specific type of color scheme. It is assumed that the east elevation (facing North DuPont Highway) is the one featuring flat tower like construction attached to the main building. This feature is to contain Wall Signs on either side which note the name of the Car Wash, “MOD Wash.” VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN The submitted plan set includes a concept for the Landscaping Plan. Based on this development area of 1.93 acres (83,999 SF), twenty-eight (28) trees are required to meet the tree density requirements. The Applicant has submitted a Landscape Plan with their overall submission (Sheet LL-1) which identifies the required minimum of 28 trees, providing a variety 6 different tree types, and a mix of ornamental trees and shrubs. These plantings are largely planted around the perimeter of the Site, and along the western boundary of the vacuum stations/ parking spaces. There are additional trees shown spread across the rear of the property. Staff does note that there is one type of tree planned for the perimeter of the proposed dumpster enclosure. Namely, seven (7) Techny Arborvitae trees. These trees generally grow to be quite large, full-bodied trees, and should perhaps be placed at a slightly greater distance from the proposed dumpster enclosure. VIII. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS: The subject proposal has been reviewed for Code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness in accordance with this agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following items have been identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant: 1) Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Upright Curbing: Planning Staff has granted approval of the Applicant’s Request to reduce the curbing on-site form 6-inches to 4-inches along some interior parking and drive aisle areas, as well as from 6-inches to fully depressed curb along the rear (west) of the Site. The former is to help facilitate in interior traffic circulation management, and the latter is to facilitate sheet flow as part of the Site’s overall stormwater management. The Applicant has shown on their supplemental Site Plan Exhibit submission with their Upright Curbing Waiver Request that they will otherwise provide 6-inch Upright Curbing where required on-site. 2) On the Architectural Elevations Sheets, please list the facades using directional terminology, considering that the “Exit” façade which faces North DuPont Highway is being considered as the “East” façade. Provide information to identify more specifically what the intended color scheme is with respect to the various materials planned for the exterior. 102

Item 7. S-21-10 ModWash Car Wash at 1414 N. DuPont Highway DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 6 3) Bicycle Parking will need to be provided in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance Article 6, Section 3.10. As twenty-five (25) vehicle parking spaces are being proposed, this will mean a minimum of two (2) bicycle parking spaces will be required. 4) Site Plan, Sheet 4: a. In addition to the required and proposed bulk standards, note any applicable existing bulk standards, i.e., existing lot coverage. b. Add the Tree Planting and Landscape Requirements, both as required and proposed. This should include calculations based on overall Site Area. c. Note the Tax Parcel ID as ED-05-057.00-01-17.00-000 d. Remove previous unused curbs. e. Note the location, name, and existing widths of adjacent streets, including ROW and curb line. f. Specify the actual building height. g. Note that the rear yard setback is 10 feet, or equal to building height. 5) Accommodation should be provided to allow pedestrian traffic a dedicated access point onto the Site. This should be done with a sidewalk connecting from the sidewalk along the North DuPont Highway frontage to the sidewalk along the north façade of the main building. It is possible that employees will have to use means other than vehicles to access the site, and accommodation should be provided accordingly. 6) Clarify the overall traffic circulation on the site. There are concerns about how traffic would exit were they not to use the actual carwash facility, or otherwise require emergency egress. Appropriate traffic control, signage and striping must also be shown. 7) Please clarify the construction details of the Dumpster Enclosure. 8) Signs are subject to a separate Sign Permit Review and approval process in the City of Dover. 9) Any Erosion & Sediment Control Plans and Stormwater Management Plans granted approval by the Kent Conservation District must reflect the Site Plan layout and design conditionally approved by the Planning Commission and be in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and technical review requirements of other agencies. 10) The Final Plan set must include notes documenting any action taken by the Planning Commission on the requested waivers and must list any additional conditions of approval. IX. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET CODE OBJECTIVES: In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.2, the Planning Commission in considering and acting upon Site Development Plans may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards so that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the public in general, and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken into consideration. These safeguards may to the maximum extent possible further the expressed 103

Item 7. S-21-10 ModWash Car Wash at 1414 N. DuPont Highway DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 7 intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed in subsections 2.21 to 2.28. 1) Dumpster: There is concern that the Dumpster Enclosure features too prominently on site, being closer to the North DuPont Highway right-of-way, than the main building itself. It’s also just off the main site entrance where one would enter the site via car. The location may also potentially conflict with traffic entering. The Applicant should relocate the Dumpster further from the right-of-way of North DuPont Highway, while also ensuring maneuverability for trash collection. 2) On-site circulation: Once the site is accessed via automobile, there appears to only be the option to drive towards the entry kiosk gates at the rear (west) of the property for the entrance of the Car Wash Facility. The parking spaces along the drive aisle (noted as being for employees), also appear to have no option but to exit through the kiosk gates or to perform a multi-point turn. The Applicant should ensure there is an available route of vehicle egress from the site that does not impose a physical barrier to doing so. 3) On-site circulation – Vehicle Parking Spaces for Vacuum Service: It is uncertain as to whether there is meant to be access from the main drive aisle directly to the Vacuum Service parking spaces without having to first go through the Car Wash. Traffic entering the vacuum parking spaces would have to drive against the one-way traffic exiting the Car Wash which is a safety concern. If it is not intended to provide such access off of the main drive aisle near the main entrance off North DuPont Highway, then please note that such signage will be provided restricting access on-site. 4) Tree Planting – Vicinity of Dumpster: Staff is somewhat concerned at the spacing of the seven (7) Techny Arborvitae trees shown around the perimeter of the Dumpster Enclosure. The trees appear to be quite close to the structure itself. These trees grow to be quite full-bodied trees. Evaluate tree placement to be slightly set-back from the Dumpster Enclosure to allow for growth. 5) Equipment Screening: Similar to the screening (enclosure and plantings) identified to surround the proposed Dumpster Enclosure, consideration should be given to the vacuum service equipment to the east of the parking area, near the site entrance. There is no landscaping or other screening indicated to shield this equipment from the right-of-way. A screening element of landscaping in this area would benefit the overall aesthetics of the site as viewed from North DuPont Highway. X. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1) The project will be subject to the improvements required by DelDOT as it involves entrance access from and frontage areas on a State maintained road and as such Entrance Plan Approval is required. This may require off-site transportation improvements. 2) In the event that major changes and revisions to the Site Plan occur in the finalization of the Plan, contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of the building, relocation of site components like stormwater management areas, and increases in floor 104

Item 7. S-21-10 ModWash Car Wash at 1414 N. DuPont Highway DAC Report of November 3, 2021 Page 8 area count. These changes may require resubmittal for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making recommendations in regards to the plan. 3) In the event that there are changes to the architecture, building footprint, layout or square footage of the building contact the Planning Office. These changes may require review by the Planning Commission. 4) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory Committee may provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code requirements. 5) Following Planning Commission approval of the Site Development Plan, the Plan must be revised to meet all conditions of approval from the Development Advisory Committee or as otherwise noted. This process involves submission of Check Prints in order to achieve Final Plan approval. 6) For building new construction, the requirements of the building code and the fire code must be complied with. Consult with the Chief Building Inspector and City of Dover Fire Marshal for these requirements. The resolution of these items may impact the site design including such items as building dimensions and height, building openings, and fire protection needs, etc. 7) The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any ground disturbing activities on the site the appropriate Site Plan approvals, Pre-Construction meetings, site inspections and permits are required. 8) Construction may have an effect on the adjacent property owners and visitors. Any work requiring the closing or rerouting of residents or visitors should be coordinated as to offer the least amount of inconvenience. 9) The applicant shall be aware that Plan approval does not represent a Sign Permit, nor does it convey permission to place any sign on the premises. Any proposed site or building identification sign may require a Sign Permit from the City of Dover prior to placement of any such sign in accordance with Zoning Ordinance Article 5 §4. 10) The applicant shall be aware that Plan approval does not represent a Building Permit and associated construction activity permits. A separate application process is required for issuance of a Building Permit from the City of Dover. 11) All businesses operating in the City of Dover are required to obtain a City of Dover Business Licenses from the Licensing and Permitting Division. If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the above contact person and the Planning Department as soon as possible. 105

PLAN SUMMARY: This Site Plan Review of a Site Development Plan and Lot Consolidation Plan Application to permit the conversion of an existing one-story, 2,890 SF building and outdoor areas to be utilized as a Restaurant (Eating & Drinking Establishment) with associated site improvements. The properties consist of a total 0.820+/- acres and are located adjacent to the east side of the railroad corridor along N. West Street between Fulton Street and Cecil Street. The properties are zoned C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone). The owner of record is Donny Legans. Property Addresses: 92 N. West Street and unaddressed parcel on Fulton Street. Tax Parcels: ED-05- 076.08-01-16.00-000 and ED-05-076.08-01-44.00-000. Previous Applications: This Site was previously subject to Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application MI-21-01B, which sought to change the Land Use designation of these properties from Industrial to Mixed- Use and was approved by the City Council at their March 8, 2021 meeting. This was followed by Rezoning Application Z-21-02, which sought to change the zoning of the property from M (Manufacturing Zone) to C-2A (Central Commercial Zone) so as to allow for the proposed Restaurant use. The Rezoning was approved by City Council at their March 8, 2021 meeting. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The properties located at 92 North West Street and one unaddressed parcel on Fulton Street are subject to a Site Development Plan Application with an associated Lot Consolidation Plan. This Site Development Plan proposes to utilize the existing 2,559 SF building to serve as a restaurant and bar. The Plan also proposes adding additional square footage to accommodate a new kitchen as well as an accessory structure to serve as a bar. The associated Site Improvements include a 128

Item 8. S-21-12 Rail Haus at 92 North West Street DAC Report – November 3, 2021 Page 3 parking lot of twenty-five (25) vehicle parking spaces as well as a variety of on-site outdoor recreational features. These recreational features include a Bocce Court, Horseshoe/Cornhole Courts, a Playground, and a mix of outdoor lounge areas. Surrounding Land Uses: The parcels immediately surrounding the subject parcel to the south, west, and north all contain a variety of primarily industrial and commercial uses. The Site is bounded by an unimproved segment of Fulton Street at its southern boundary. Then, the property across Fulton Street to the south is zoned M (Manufacturing Zone) and contains a warehouse. The properties across Cecil Street to the north are also zoned M and contain warehouses, a contractor’s yard, and storage yards. Adjacent along the western frontage of the western parcel is the Railroad which runs north- south, almost parallel to N. West Street. Across the railroad to the west is a small property zoned C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) which includes a building that was recently the subject of Conditional Use Site Plan Application C-21-05 Destined for Greatness Child Daycare Center. The remaining land to the west is undeveloped and zoned IPM (Industrial Park and Manufacturing Zone). The properties across N. West Street to the east are zoned RG-1 (General Residence Zone) and contain places of public assembly (two Churches and a Community Center) and with the blocks to the east as residential uses of mostly one-family dwellings. III. ZONING REVIEW Request for C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) Zoning The proposed use is classified as a Restaurant which is a permitted use in the C-2A Zone. Additionally, the Zoning Ordinance Article 3 §14.3 permits the outdoor eating area in this Zone when accessory to the permitted restaurant use. The following description of the C-2A zoning district is provided from Article 3 §14 of the Zoning Ordinance. Article 3 Section 14. – Limited Central Commercial Zone (C-2A). 14.1 Uses permitted. No building or premises shall be used and no building or part of a building shall be erected, which is arranged, intended or designed to be used, in whole or in part, for any purpose, except the following: (a) Retail Stores (b) Business, professional or government offices (c) Personal service establishments. (d) Restaurants. (e) Service establishments. (f) Hotels. (g) Places of public assembly. (h) Drive-throughs. (i) One family residences, including attached and semi-detached dwellings, complying with the bulk standards of the RG-1 (General Residence) zone. 129

Item 8. S-21-12 Rail Haus at 92 North West Street DAC Report – November 3, 2021 Page 4 (j) Apartments and multi-family dwellings 14.2 Conditional Uses. The following uses are permitted, conditional upon the approval of the planning commission in accordance with the procedures and subject to the general conditions set forth in article 10, section 1: (a) Parking lots and parking structures as a principal use on suitably landscaped lots. (b) Fuel pumps accessory to a permitted use. 14.3 Enclosed buildings. All permitted uses and all storage accessory thereto, other than off street parking, shall be carried on in buildings fully enclosed on all sides, except for outdoor eating areas associated with restaurants and outdoor sales areas approved by the city planner. 14.4 Performance standards. All uses are subject to performance standards as set forth in article 5, section 8.1. 14.5 Site development plan approval. Site development plan approval in accordance with article 10, section 2 hereof shall be required prior to the issuance of building permits for the erection or enlargement of all structures and prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for any change of use. IV. PARKING SUMMARY Parking for an eating and drinking establishment is calculated at a rate of one (1) parking space per four (4) seats plus one (1) for every three (3) bar seats. The Plans submitted note a proposed “Indoor” seat count of sixty-four (64) and seven (7) Bar Seats. The Plans also note another thirty-six (36) “Seasonal Outdoor” Seats and another nine (9) “Seasonal Outdoor” Bar Seats. The Zoning Ordinance does not have any provisions for vehicle parking space requirements based on their being located out-of-doors or otherwise being noted as “seasonal.” The combined seat counts of 100 (eating) and 16 (bar) would therefore require thirty-one (31) vehicle parking spaces. Waiver Request: Reduction in Parking Requirement The Applicant has submitted a Written Waiver Request for the Parking Requirements. The Request notes that “by [their] count, 31 [vehicle parking] spaces would be required,” They request that the Parking requirement be reduced from 31 Vehicle Parking Spaces to 25 Vehicle Parking Spaces. They cite the following criteria by which the Request is made, as provided for in Article 6 §3.9 of the Zoning Ordinance: Article 6 3.9 Adjustments to parking requirements. The planning commission or city planner, according to the type of plan review required by appendix B, zoning, article 10, planning commission, may reduce, in an amount not to exceed 50 percent, the number of parking spaces required when, in the opinion of the commission, it has been demonstrated that the use is adequately served by transportation and parking alternatives, including but not limited to: (a) Site plan proposals within the downtown redevelopment target area, as described in appendix C of the Dover Code of Ordinances, may be granted a 20 percent reduction in the amount of off- street parking normally required, due to the availability of mass transit, municipal parking and existing pedestrian amenities. (b) Designated off-street parking reserved for car pools, van pools, and bicycle parking facilities, in 130

Item 8. S-21-12 Rail Haus at 92 North West Street DAC Report – November 3, 2021 Page 5 accordance with the following schedule: (1) Each carpool space shall be equivalent to three standard parking spaces. (2) Each vanpool space shall be equivalent to five standard parking spaces. (3) Every group of five bicycle parking spaces shall be equivalent to one standard parking space. (c) Employer participation in a traffic-mitigation plan approved by the Delaware Department of Transportation. (d) Cash-in-lieu of parking contributions toward the capital construction or improvement of municipal parking facilities that are proposed. The cash-in-lieu of parking contribution shall be in a monetary amount equivalent to the estimated cost of construction for the number of standard surface parking spaces for which the reduction is sought. To take advantage of this option, the developer shall submit to the city engineer a cost estimate for the parking requested to be waived. The city engineer shall examine the estimate for accuracy in current prevailing costs of construction at the time of proposal and shall report to the planning commission his/her findings. (e) Proposals involving superior urban design which contribute to an enhanced pedestrian environment and which include such features as pedestrian plazas and pocket-parks, pedestrian- way connections with existing sidewalk systems and community facilities, park benches and other street furniture, mass transit connections and shelters, and landscaping and shade tree plantings. The Project is located within the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area and thus qualifies for a 20% reduction in the parking requirements. The Applicant has additionally noted that, due to the proximity to the Senator Bike Way, they plan to provide facilities for thirty-five (35) Bicycle Parking Spaces, compensating for seven (7) Vehicle Parking Spaces. Finally, they note the project sites close proximity to Downtown and mass-transit to allow for a further reduction in vehicle parking spaces. Bicycle Parking Bicycle Parking is required at a rate of one (1) space for every twenty (20) vehicle parking spaces. As the Applicant has noted a proposed twenty-five (25) vehicle parking spaces are proposed on site, this would require the Applicant to provide two (2) bicycle parking spaces. The Applicant has noted that they plan to provide accommodation for thirty-five (35) bicycles. The project site is located immediately adjacent to the existing Senator Bike Lane which can provide easy bicycle access to the site. The Applicant has additionally noted their intent to provide added bicycle parking to accommodate the reduced minimum vehicle parking space count as noted in the Written Vehicle Parking Waiver submission. Access The main vehicle access point to the site is at the end of Cecil Street. The right-of-way of Cecil Street terminates at the eastern boundary of the parcel which extends along the railroad right-of- way. This access is at the north end of subject parcel and provides direct access to the main drive aisle, which in turn provides access to all twenty-five (25) vehicle parking spaces. Pedestrian Access to the site is shown in one Plan as being directly off North West Street into a patio area designated for the bicycle parking facilities. This area in turn provides access to the internal walkways and outdoor lounge/ recreation areas which access the main building. The Site Plan submission does not make clear where the main pedestrian access point onto the site is, noting instead what is labeled as a main entrance area between two spaces noted as patios on the Plan. There is no access pedestrian or vehicular, off Fulton Street to the south as this is an 131

Item 8. S-21-12 Rail Haus at 92 North West Street DAC Report – November 3, 2021 Page 6 unimproved section of right-of-way. V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS Lighting There are lights noted on the Site Plan. There appears to be three (3) Light Poles proposed in the parking area. There does not appear to be any lighting indicated on the exterior of the main building itself, nor does there appear to be any lighting shown in the outdoor recreation areas. Lighting must be adequate to safely light all parking and pedestrian areas yet must be shielded and directed as to not create a nuisance on the adjacent properties. Dumpsters Article 5 §6.12 of the Zoning Ordinance notes that for a restaurant use, two (2) dumpsters are required for the first 3,000 SF and an additional dumpster is required for each additional 3,000 SF of floor area or fraction thereof. If the final gross floor area, including additions is to be under 3,000 SF, then a minimum of two (2) dumpster will be required. Article 5 §6.11 additionally states that a dumpster enclosure is required to screen the dumpster from view whenever these units are situated so that they will be visible from any public right-of-way or from an adjacent property. The Plans submitted include a note stating “Proposed Trash” indicating it is planned for an area at the front (east) of the main building along the North West Street frontage. This area is also noted generally as “Patio Seating.” There are no details provided in the formal Plan Set indicating a dumpster enclosure or its specific location, only noting instead in the Data Column that “5 interior Dumpsters” are proposed. There is however a secondary Plan submitted prepared by a different design entity that shows some site features specific to the main building; it appears to note an area identified as “Trash” at the northeastern corner of the main parcel. Specific details are not provided on this plan as to the enclosure and there is some confusion as this area does not appear to be “inside” but does appear to indicate that this area is enclosed. Curbing Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Upright Curbing The upright curbing for the parking lots and drive aisles are subject to the requirements of Article 6 Section 3.6(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. The Code allows the City Planner to consider a Waiver of this upright curbing requirement. The Applicant has submitted a Waiver Request asking to waive the requirement for Upright Curbing. The Written Waiver Request notes that the parking area is proposed to be constructed with pervious pavement and utilized in part to facilitate stormwater management. The Applicant notes concern about the grading at the site which if required to be implemented, would then require the 6-inch curb and would necessitate the parking area to be lowered by 6 inches. This would negatively impact the proposed stormwater management facility. Sidewalks There is existing sidewalk along the North West Street frontage which provides direct pedestrian access to the site. There is additionally a new sidewalk proposed connecting the new vehicle 132

Item 8. S-21-12 Rail Haus at 92 North West Street DAC Report – November 3, 2021 Page 7 parking area at the north and west of the site to the facilities and main building on the site. There are a variety of materials and paths shown internal to the site with noted materials such as “crushed granite,” and “paver walk.” These again are shown to be internal to the site and primarily provide pedestrian circulation to the various recreational on-site site features proposed. There are at present no sidewalks along either the unimproved Right-of-Way on Fulton Street to the south, nor along the paved right-of-way on Cecil Street. The Plans submitted do not show any sidewalk to be proposed along either frontage, instead providing direct pedestrian access to the Site from the North West Street frontage only. Waiver Request: Frontage Sidewalk along Fulton Street As noted, the subject site is immediately adjacent to an unimproved segment of Fulton Street to the south. As this is a public right-of-way, there is a requirement per the Zoning Ordinance Article 5 §18.3 to provide a sidewalk along the Fulton Street (south) frontage of the site. However, as this portion of Fulton Street is unimproved, the Applicant has submitted a Waiver Request from requirements to provide such a sidewalk, as allowed per Article 5 §18.5 of Zoning Ordinance. Specifically, the Applicant notes in their Waiver Request that this segment of Right- of-Way currently contains no vehicle access, nor does it contain any sidewalks. It is additionally noted that this segment dead-ends at the railroad right-of-way. As such there is no accommodation, vehicular or pedestrian, to cross the railroad right-of-way. VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE The submission includes a series of Architectural renderings. These Renderings appear to show the existing building being renovated to include three (3) large glass garage-like doors facing North West Street. The Building itself appears to be clad in a dark gray or black vertical paneling, but this material is not identified. The one-story building is shown topped by an angled roof which is higher at North West Street and sloped down towards the west. There are two new additional structures shown which appear to be shipping-containers. There is one such structure shown perpendicular and attached to the existing Building to the west which plans note as containing the kitchen space. The additional shipping container is to the southwest corner of the Site and has been noted as a bar area. Both of these are red but again there is not material indicated. VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN Based on the Development Area of 0.82 +/- acres (35,720 SF), there is a requirement to provide twelve (12) trees on site. There are discrepancies among the various data column listings with regards to the required and provided tree counts. The Site Plan submitted appears to show twenty (20) trees on site. These are shown primarily along the southern and eastern boundaries of the parcel containing the main building. These are additionally provided in a central location of the overall site noted as being a waiting/ lounging area. The species or specifications of these trees are not however provided so it is unclear if these are proposed to meet the minimum standards for tree plantings. 133

Item 8. S-21-12 Rail Haus at 92 North West Street DAC Report – November 3, 2021 Page 8 There are additionally different materials proposed internal to the Site itself noted as “Grass/ Turf,” a Sand Pit and several Planting Beds along the perimeter of the south and east property lines. It does not appear that any additional plants are shown in any of these areas outside of the proposed trees. THE SUBJECT PROPOSAL HAS BEEN REVIEWED FOR CODE COMPLIANCE, PLAN CONFORMITY, AND COMPLETENESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGENCY’S AUTHORITY AND AREA OF EXPERTISE. VIII. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS: 1) Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Upright Curbing Planning Staff grants approval of the submitted waiver request for the partial elimination of the required 6-inch upright curbing along the western boundary of the parking area. The Waiver Request submitted by the Applicant noted their concern with regards to stormwater management should they otherwise be required to construct the 6-inch curb. The Plans submitted still show a 6-inch curb being provided along the southern, eastern, and northern boundaries of the parking area and drive aisle. 2) Waiver Request: Reduction of Parking Requirement The Applicant has submitted a Waiver Request for the reduction of the parking requirement from thirty-one (31) spaces to twenty-five (25) spaces for consideration by the Planning Commission. The parking requirement for a Restaurant is based on a seat count. The Planning Commission may reduce, in an amount not to exceed 50%, the number of parking spaces when the Applicant can demonstrate that the Site is adequately served transportation and parking alternatives. 3) Waiver Request: Frontage Sidewalk along Fulton Street The Applicant has submitted a Waiver Request for the elimination of the street frontage sidewalk along the unimproved segment of Fulton Street for consideration by the Planning Commission. Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §18.5 outlines circumstances where elimination of pathways (sidewalks) can be considered. 4) A separate Record Plan sheet must be submitted to show parcel consolidations, all right-of- way dedications, any easements, or other items affecting the property lines. 5) Clarify property owner, as our records indicate the property owner as Donny Legans, whereas the Site Plan submission lists property owner as “92 Ventures.” 6) Note that any future signage must comply with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance Article 5, Section 4, and are subject to a separate Sign Permit submission and review. 7) Some features appear to only be shown on the much smaller secondary plan submitted with a design entity noted as “cfTettura Projects, LLC.” Please note these items on the full-size Plan 134

IX. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET CODE OBJECTIVES: In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.2, the Planning Commission in considering and acting upon Site Development Plans may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards so that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the public in general, and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken into consideration. These safeguards may to the maximum extent possible further the expressed intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed in subsections 2.21 to 2.28. 1. Waiver Request – Reduction in Vehicle Requirement (Vehicle Spaces) Planning Staff recommends approval of the Applicant’s Request for a reduction in the required on-site Vehicle Parking, asking to be granted permission to provide twenty-five (25) vehicle parking spaces, instead of the required thirty-one (31) spaces. Staff agrees with the Applicant in that the Project Site is located in the Downtown Development Target Area. Additionally, the Site is near mass transit connections, Dover’s Downtown area, and the Senator Bike Way runs along the eastern property line on North West Street. There are multiple modes of transportation to 136

Item 8. S-21-12 Rail Haus at 92 North West Street DAC Report – November 3, 2021 Page 11 access the site. Also, with site’s proximity to the Senator Bike Way may indicate an increased need for bicycle parking. The applicant plans thirty-five (35) bicycle parking spaces. Article 6 Section 3.9 (b)(3) of the Zoning Ordinance allows that every group of five bicycle parking spaces shall be equivalent to one standard parking space when considering a Request for a reduction in the vehicle parking requirements. 2. Waiver Request – Partial Elimination of the Upright Curbing Planning Staff grants approval of the Waiver Request from the Requirement for Upright Curbing for the area along the western side of the parking lot. As a condition of approval, parking bumpers are required at the head of each parking space. The Plan should indicate the care maintenance procedures for the pervious surface of the parking lot. The Applicant has indicated a plan to accommodate the necessary stormwater management requirements on site by implementing their stormwater management system largely in the parking area with the use of a pervious surface. The Applicant noted the issues they would encounter by implementing the curbing, as it would require the parking area itself to be lowered by 6 inches, negatively impacting general stormwater management. 3. Waiver Request – Elimination of Sidewalk along the Fulton Street frontage Planning Staff recommends approval of the Applicant’s submitted Waiver Request from the requirements to provide sidewalk along the unimproved segment of Fulton Street along the site’s southern frontage. This segment of Fulton Street currently contains no vehicle access or legal parking opportunities as it is unimproved. It is additionally noted that this segment dead-ends at the railroad right-of-way with no designated accommodation, vehicular or pedestrian, to cross the railroad right-of-way. X. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1) The Dover Code of Ordinances includes provisions related to noise in Chapter 42, Section 42-2 Noise.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To whom it may concern, I am writing to you in the hope that you give full and complete support to the proposed opening of Rail Haus in Dover on 92 N West Street. As Dover recovers from the financial strain of the global pandemic, it is important to invest in locally owned, community based ventures that will enrich our local economy. Rail Haus will be a perfect downtown spot to bring family and friendly on a weekly basis as well as a spot to bring out of town visitors. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration in this matter. I look forward to hearing about your support for this venture.

Item 8. October 29, 2021 Dear City of Dover Planning Commission, I’m writing to show my support for the proposed project/restaurant located at the former Southern States building (92 N. West Street). I have been a resident of the State of Delaware for 55 years and this type of venue could bring a lot of positive energy to the surrounding communities. I’ve been to many indoor/outdoor garden style restaurants and I’ve seen firsthand how these types of facilities are accepted and supported by the surrounding area. My wife and I enjoy getting out to establishments like this especially when we can include our dog. I fully support and endorse this project idea. Sincerely, Jeff Niezgoda 164

Item 8. From: frances.riddle@comcast.net To: CompPlan Cc: Donny Legans Subject: EXTERNAL: Vote Yes for the Rail Haus, 92 N. West St. Date: Sunday, October 31, 2021 1:57:04 PM WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Please consider this email to be a strong vote of support for Donny Legans’ application for planning permission to develop a restaurant at 92 N. West Street. I live just a few blocks away on N. State Street and coordinate the Community Unity Garden at DSU Downtown (former location of Wesley College) as a volunteer for Restoring Central Dover. A family restaurant in this community is just what our neighborhood needs. I believe it would provide a vibrant focal point in this part of Central Dover – a fun place for local folks to gather, share good food, and strengthen the social fabric of downtown. I also believe Mr. Legans has the vision, background, and desire to make this project a reality. I look forward to Planning Commission approval. Fran Riddle 127 N. State Street Dover DE 19901 165

Item 8. From: cfisher313@aol.com To: CompPlan Subject: EXTERNAL: Mt. Zion Support of New Restaurant on 92 N West Street Date: Thursday, November 04, 2021 12:22:16 PM WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To Whom It May Concern, Mt. Zion AME Church is located at 101 N. Queen Street. Part of the mission of Mt. Zion AME Church is to have a positive impact on the community we serve. We would like to inform the Planning Commission of our support for the planned restaurant to be built on 92 N. West Street in downtown Dover. We believe a new restaurant in our area will also have a positive impact on the community it serves in several ways: · Provide a beautiful green space for social and dining interaction where there are now very few options Provide jobs for people in the immediate area · Provide support to community gardens by featuring locally-grown produce in the restaurant. As part of our ongoing efforts to positively impact our neighborhood, this spring we planted a community garden behind the church. The garden has been a source of pride among the residents who live near the church. Our community garden, which is open to everyone, provides space for people to work together to create beautiful, productive spaces in our neighborhood to enhance living conditions. Our community garden is about more than just growing food. By increasing the number of local community gardeners and available green space, families and individuals are able to grow fresh, healthy produce for very little money, green previously unused areas, decrease local food insecurity, get to know and interact with their neighbors, and work together to enhance the communities where they live. We are excited for the continued growth and support for the areas surrounding Mt. Zion AME Church and the community. We support the new restaurant owner and welcome a successful partnership in the near future. Sincerely, Cheryl Fisher Garden Ministry Coordinator Unity Community Garden at Mt. Zion 101 N.
