Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, reviewed a Presentation - Why Are We Here? (Exhibit #1),
noting that members would have the opportunity to validate the City’s Vision, Critical Success
Factors, and Mission Statement; validate current and pending initiatives; and discuss budgetary
goals. He reminded members that last year’s Retreat was different from previous sessions since it
strictly focused on the City’s budget; however, staff requested that this year, as in previous sessions,
members brainstorm/develop new ideas and programs for upcoming years. In addition to reviewing
accomplishments and setting priorities for the City’s future, Mr. DePrima stated that, similar to last
year, staff would be presenting an estimate for next year’s budget, emphasizing that this would be
an early estimate that would allow Council the opportunity to provide staff direction. He advised
members that Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Treasurer/Controller, would be presenting options for financing
capital projects. Mr. DePrima stated that, later in the day, members would have the opportunity to
review the City’s Mission Statement to determine if revisions are necessary.

Meeting recessed at 10:50 a.m. and reconvened at 11:11 a.m.
WHAT ARE OUR PRIORITIES GIVEN THE CURRENT FISCAL CONDITION?
In reviewing the ideas developed by members, Mr. DePrima requested that each member indicate
their priorities by selecting six (6) of the 17 ideas listed under “Broad Outcomes” and nine (9) from
the 27 “Specific Actions/Programs/Projects” list.
(Members voted from 11:14 a.m. to 11:23 a.m.)
Upon completion of the ranking exercise, Mr. DePrima advised members that the City Clerk’s Office
would type the lists (2011 Council Retreat Votes) (Exhibit #2) and provide them to members of
Council. Mr. DePrima stated that he and Mrs. McDowell, City Clerk, would review the
prioritization list. He noted that some of the ideas would be relatively easy to implement; therefore,
some ideas that were not highly ranked will be addressed. Mr. DePrima advised members that the
prioritization list will be provided to department heads to obtain their feedback. He stated that some
items may be referred to the appropriate committee for review and recommendation to City Council.
Mr. DePrima indicated that some of the “broader” items would require more thought and time for
consideration.
Glancing at the rankings for the “Broad Outcomes,” Mr. DePrima noted that Items #1, #8, #12, #10,
and #11 were ranked highly, and Items #1, #18, #15, #16, and #7 were ranked highly on the
“Specific Actions/Programs/Projects” list. He reiterated that items that received only a few votes
would not automatically be discounted.

COUNCIL RETREAT OF JANUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 4
ARE THESE STATEMENTS STILL VALID?
Mr. DePrima requested that members review the City’s Mission Statement, Vision, and Critical
Success Factors for possible revision.
Mission Statement
In reviewing Page 3 of Exhibit #1 - Why Are We Here?, Mr. DePrima questioned if any changes to
the City’s Mission Statement were needed. He advised members that the current Mission Statement
is as follows:
It shall be the mission of the City of Dover to advance the following policies and
projects however and whenever possible:
Quality of Life
Establish a Regional Library in Dover
Promote Homeownership and Affordable Housing
Strengthen Property Maintenance and Enforcement
Support the Building of the Inner City Cultural Center
Infrastructure
Maintain and Improve the City’s Infrastructure and Implement Brown Water Solutions
Implement Plan to secure Electric Generation for the Next 20 Years
Economic Development
Implement Economic Development Strategy (Garrison Tract Development and Downtown)
Council President Hogan suggested the addition of a general statement such as “Improving Public
Safety” to the Quality of Life category. Mr. Ruane noted that the meaning of Infrastructure is not
clearly explained, and suggested the addition of Road and Transportation Improvements, which are
critical to the City’s infrastructure.
Vision
There were no changes suggested for the City’s Vision, which reads as follows: “The City of Dover
is a place where people want to live! Through the team effort of its elected officials, employees, and
citizens, Dover is a clean and safe community with a future of balanced growth and opportunity
where all citizens are heard, enjoy a high quality of life, and diversity is valued.”
Critical Success Factors
Mr. Bonar suggested that staff “wordsmith” the Critical Success Factors to create an acronym for
a word such as “success,” “capital,” or “relocate,” which would provide the City with a tool to
improve its image.
Página 8
COUNCIL RETREAT OF JANUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 5
The City’s Critical Success Factors were stated, as follows:
With these, we can achieve our Vision . . .
Customer Satisfaction and Effective Community Communication
Employee Satisfaction and Effective Employee Communication
Cost and Revenue Efficiency
Improve Downtown and Surrounding Neighborhoods
City Wide Safety
Economic Development and Job Growth
Dr. McGlumphy suggested that the Critical Success Factors relate to the Vision Statement, noting
that the phrase “diversity is valued” is included in the City’s Vision; however, there is no mention
of this in the Critical Success Factors. He suggested that diversity be added, explaining that the
City’s workforce should be representative of the City’s community.
Mr. Ruane suggested that the word “performance” be included in the sentence
“Employee Satisfaction and Effective Employee Communication.” He also felt that the phrase
“Cost and Revenue Efficiency” is too narrow.
Mr. Leary felt that diversity is a global issue that pertains to economic development in the entire
community. He suggested that all sectors of the community should have the ability to participate and
that a general tone and tenor be set to encourage diversity as it relates to the economic environment.
By unanimous consent, members took a recess for lunch.
Meeting recessed at 11:59 a.m. and reconvened at 1:04 p.m.
THE NEXT BUDGET
Mr. DePrima reviewed a Presentation of the City’s Budget (Exhibit #3) and re-emphasized that the
version of the budget presented was very preliminary and is intended only to be used as a tool.
Responding to Mrs. Williams regarding the salary increase assumptions, Mr. DePrima stated that
salaries were based on an average of the union contracts plus an additional 1% for
pay-for-performance.
Mr. DePrima noted that the additional $619,029 in revenues is the result of additional funds from
the red light photo enforcement program and franchise fees. He stated that the estimated transfer tax
is projected at $1.4M for this year and $1M for next year.
In response to Mrs. Williams, Mr. DePrima confirmed that staff will limit the Capital Investment
Program (CIP’s) to the $1M projected revenue. In order to accomplish this, he noted that some
projects, such as parks and playground maintenance and splash pad design, have been deferred.
Dr. McGlumphy requested that staff provide a list of projects that have been deferred.

COUNCIL RETREAT OF JANUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 6
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Mitchell stated that none of the models have been updated for utility
revenues or expenses to determine if the City meets bond covenants. She reminded members that
the models presented last year included assumptions for the “out” years. Mrs. Mitchell requested
guidance regarding those assumptions, explaining that annual department expenses were set at 3.5%,
retiree medical insurance was set at 6%, etc. She explained that staff would like direction as to
whether members of Council feel that these assumptions should remain the same.
Mr. Bonar requested that staff provide members with the most recent assumptions to help determine
if there should be a change in this regard.
Referring to the estimated percentages for rate increases, Mr. Ruane requested that, in addition to
the percentages, staff provide actual amounts, which he felt would provide a better understanding.
Mrs. Williams referred to the Kent County Sewer Treatment Adjustment and requested that staff
provide members with the number and percentage of pipes that have been repaired/replaced.
Responding, Mr. DePrima indicated that, although there have been several sewer pipes replaced, the
actual pipe repair/replacement program will begin in February.
Mr. DePrima encouraged members to consider ways in which the City can become less dependent
on projected transfers and instead, relate its capital expenses to money already collected from the
previous year (referred to as the “Seaford Method”). He explained that when transfer tax first began
in Seaford, it was not utilized during the year it was collected and, from that point on, the
City of Seaford began basing capital expenses on the amount of transfer tax received. He noted that
Mrs. Mitchell would discuss this approach during a presentation to be provided later in the session.
Responding to Mrs. Russell regarding Pay-As-You-Go Water Load Station (Customer Service) on
Page 12 of Exhibit #3 - Presentation of the City’s Budget, Mr. DePrima stated that there is a pipe
near the City’s Warehouse that contractors utilize to fill-up tank trucks with water for their projects.
He indicated that, currently, there is an honor system in place and no way for the City to ensure that
the water is being paid for. Mrs. Tieman explained that a meter is going to be installed that will
require payment prior to water being released.
In response to Mr. Salters, Mayor Carleton Carey explained that he has tried to secure grants for
Downtown Security Cameras for the last three (3) years. He stated that the first cameras were funded
by unexpended Parking Authority funds. He also reminded members that he has maintained a
reduced budget the last two years but has continued to add cameras in critical locations with the
available funds.
Referring to Page 13 of Exhibit #3 - Presentation of the City’s Budget, Mrs. Tieman noted that the
Generator for Public Services - Life Safety, in the amount of $17,500, has been removed.
Mr. DePrima reviewed the Budget Model (Exhibit #4) and reminded members that it included large
assumptions but that changes could be made.
Página 10
COUNCIL RETREAT OF JANUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 7
Council President Hogan requested that staff include another column, modeled with the transfer at
$7.25M, with the next column being the $8.856M. In addition, he requested that staff make
corrections so that all columns extend across into the blue lines for consistency.
Mr. Ruane suggested that the model include alternatives for the use of the transfer tax for Council’s
consideration.
Elaborating on the request of Council President Hogan, Mr. Leary suggested that a column be
added that would represent the amounts required by policy to include expenses
(actuarial recommendations) as well as revenues. Responding, Mr. DePrima stated that staff could
develop a Budget Model to reflect policy only, with no assumptions (Full Policy Run).
Responding to Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. DePrima explained that the base budget is $38M, which does
not include property tax increases, and that the model provides different scenarios for Council’s
consideration and direction.
By unanimous consent, members took a brief recess.
Meeting recessed at 2:45 p.m. and reconvened at 3:01 p.m.
FINANCING CAPITAL PROJECTS
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed a Presentation of Capital Project Financing -
Governmental Funds (Exhibit #5).
Responding to Council President Hogan, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed her opinion that the City should
consider utilizing bond issues to complete capital projects. In addition to the $1.3M that is currently
required for the Library Project, it was her feeling that other projects, such as infrastructure and
streets, could benefit from this approach. Mrs. Mitchell explained that there are issuance costs on
every debt service; therefore, the City must be sure to receive all benefits for the costs of the bond
issue.
In response to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Mitchell stated that due to the current interest rates and the economic
environment, this would be an ideal time to consider a bond issue, and suggested a minimum of $3M
for such a bond issue.
Mr. DePrima noted that, although some funds are provided by legislators for street improvements,
there are several main roadways in need of repair, and he felt that a bond issue could help the City
complete these projects as well as a number of building projects, including renovations to the
Council Chambers to make it handicapped accessible.
Responding to Council President Hogan, Mrs. Mitchell stated that her recent calculations, based on
the annual debt service, revealed that the amount of bonds that can be issued is limited to $7.2M.
Página 11
COUNCIL RETREAT OF JANUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 8
After much discussion, it was the consensus of members that staff should formulate a
recommendation regarding a bond issue to be presented to the Legislative, Finance, and
Administration Committee during their second meeting in March.
By unanimous consent, Council President Hogan declared the meeting adjourned.
Meeting adjourned at 3:28 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,

Mr. Gregg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, on behalf of the applicant, HUB Associates, LLC, stated
that the request for abandonment was submitted as part of a planned major renovation to the
property.
Mrs. Thelma Johnson, 512 East Loockerman Street, stated that her property is affected by the

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT -
FEBRUARY 14, 2011
The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on February 14, 2011 with
Chairwoman Russell presiding.
Presentation - Broadband Technologies Opportunity Program (BTOP)/Job Center - Dover
Public Library
Ms. Margery Cyr, Library Director, advised members that the Delaware Division of Libraries (DDL)
received a grant through the U. S. Department of Commerce for the Broadband Technologies
Opportunity Program (BTOP). She stated that the DDL is collaborating with multiple program
partners to support a statewide learning laboratory program aimed at improving workforce skills and
job searches for Delawareans at each laboratory and library throughout Delaware. Ms. Cyr reminded
members that the Dover Public Library and the Delaware Economic Development Office joined
forces to develop a Job Center at the Library, which opened in October 2009. She advised members
that this program is currently limited in capacity, largely due to staffing, space, and time constraints.
Ms. Cyr explained that funding from the BTOP award will allow the DDL to establish
comprehensive job/learning labs in libraries across the State by leveraging unique partnerships
between libraries and social service organizations to combat unemployment through workforce
development and educational programs.
Ms. Cyr reviewed a Presentation titled BTOP 101, which provided information on the mission, grant
award, project goals, partners, and benefits of the program. She noted that positive feedback had
been received from those benefitting from the Library Job Center (included on Page 18 of the
Presentation) and read into the record the following statement, which was received from one of the
participants:
“I just wanted to let you know that I am working as an HR Generalist full time and
permanent in Philadelphia and the company is Simkar Corporation. I just wanted you
to know how I am doing. Thanks again for all you did to assist me in my job search
and guess what you inspired me to do? I have submitted a proposal to my Pastor to
set our church in the direction of the library. I am excited about this endeavor and
will let you know how it turns out.”

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 4
Ms. Cyr introduced Ms. Allie O’Neill, a volunteer working at the Economic Development Office
through Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA). Ms. O’Neill advised members that VISTA is
part of the Federal Americorps Program and that VISTA volunteers commit to serve full-time for
one (1) year with non-profit organizations or local government agencies and assist in running
programs that are designed to bring communities out of poverty.
Ms. Cyr also introduced Ms. Bernadette Connell, who was hired through the BTOP Grant to
establish job centers in the anchor libraries in the County and will be the Dover Public Library’s
BTOP Coordinator. Ms. Connell stated that she is currently working with other anchor library
BTOP to assure that the program curriculum is ready for an April 1, 2011 start date.
Ms. Cyr introduced Ms. Becky Norton, the new Assistant Library Director for the Dover Public
Library.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Ms. Cyr indicated that a portion of grant funding was used for a public
relations program and that a public relations marketing consultant will assure that notification of this
program is provided throughout the State.
In response to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Cyr stated that the BTOP grant provides one (1) time funding for a
three (3) year project; however, the DDL will be working on sustainability of the grant. She
explained that there are plans to use some of the funding from the Schools and Libraries Universal
Service Support Mechanism (E-Rate) as part of the sustainable funding for the grant.
Ms. Cyr advised members that one of the requirements of the BTOP Grant is that the Job Center
remain open for a considerable amount of time during the week. She noted that, in the current
Library, the only area available for this is the meeting room and that staff is working on determining
how easily the Job Center can be “broken down” once it is closed. Ms. Cyr stated that availability
of the meeting room will be very limited once the Job Center is opened. She advised members that
the Job Center will be located on the second floor of the new Library in the Technology Lab, adding
that the Small Business Center will also be housed on that floor.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Ms. Cyr stated that the Seaford Public Library developed a Job Center
and a Bridges Program (a structured education program) using the services of the Retired and Senior
Volunteer Program (RSVP). She explained that the Bridges Program consists of three (3) day-long
workshops with a specific curriculum each day. Ms. Cyr stated that it is very important that the
Dover Public Library maintain the ability to assist customers on a walk-in basis, whenever needed,
free of charge; however, she noted that the RSVP Bridges Program has also been very positive and
the City is attempting to determine how to “blend” these programs.
Ms. Connell advised members that the goal is to make all four (4) anchor libraries very similar,
offering the same services, with customization available to address the specific needs of the
community.
In response to Mrs. Russell, Ms. Cyr stated that there were no applications received from
City residents for the Coordinator positions.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 5
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Ms. O’Neill confirmed that benchmarks will be used to determine the
progress of the programs and, to date, the majority of the individuals utilizing the current programs
offered by the Dover Public Library are City residents.
The Committee recommended acceptance of staff’s report on the Broadband Technologies
Opportunity Program (BTOP)/Job Center - Dover Public Library.
By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).
Semi-Annual Report on Statistics Regarding Jobs and Businesses Gained and Lost in the City
of Dover Since July 2010
Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Director and Director of the Downtown Dover
Partnership, reviewed the semi-annual report of employment statistics on the 14 largest employers
in the Dover area and reminded members that this information is updated and presented to members
on a semi-annual basis (the last report was presented to members on July 12, 2010). He also
reminded members that his office has established relationships with the management and human
resources departments of these companies in order to track job growth or decline.
Mr. Neaton stated that, although the report does not reflect a significant increase in employment
activity, he feels confident that the economy is turning around. As an example, he advised members
that the Dover Sun Park is currently under construction at the Garrison Tract and that he meets with
the project manager weekly. Mr. Neaton noted that local contractors have been hired for this project,
which demonstrates a commitment to filling jobs related to this project locally.
Mr. Neaton advised members that, for approximately two (2) years, he has been working on bringing
an Arizona-based company to the City, which has the potential of bringing 500 jobs to the
Dover area. He stated that the company originally considered 11 different locations, which have now
been narrowed to three (3) possibilities, one (1) of which is Dover. In December, Mr. Neaton stated
that he, along with other representatives from the Delaware Development Office, Delaware
Technical and Community College, Dover Air Force Base, Delaware State University, etc., met with
the project manager of this company. Mr. Neaton indicated that a response is expected within the
next 30 days.
Mr. Neaton stated that, for approximately 6 to 8 months, he has been working with another company
that is considering relocating to Dover. He noted that this firm is searching for temporary warehouse
space until such time that a 500,000 to 700,000 square foot facility can be built, and would bring
approximately 50-100 jobs to the area. Mr. Neaton indicated that he anticipates a response from the
project coordinator of this company within a week or two (2).
Mr. Neaton advised members that a local company hopes to expand its manufacturing capabilities
by adding approximately 200 employees and that an incentive package was provided to this firm in
December.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 6
Referring to a previous request made by Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Neaton apologized for not providing
specific details regarding the downtown area in the report. He advised members that seven (7)
businesses opened in the last six (6) months in the downtown area, creating approximately 15
additional jobs. Mr. Neaton stated that three (3) businesses closed, resulting in the loss of four (4)
jobs, which reflects a net growth of 11 jobs. He reminded members of the positive activity occurring
in the downtown area, such as the completion of the downtown charrette and construction planned
to begin on Bayard Plaza.
In response to Mr. Ruane regarding the sale of Wilmington Trust, Mr. Neaton stated that Mr. Bonar
requested that he obtain details on the effects this sale may have on employment in the Dover area.
Mrs. Russell suggested providing incentives to companies to remain in the City for several years,
in addition to granting incentives for relocation to the area. She noted that it has been the City’s
experience with several companies that once the incentives have ceased, the companies have left the
area, resulting in the loss of jobs and building vacancies. Responding, Mr. Neaton stated that the
Delaware Development Office provides a five (5) year incentive program; however, the City
provides a 10 year tax abatement program.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the Semi-Annual Report - Statistics Regarding Jobs and
Businesses Gained and Lost in the City of Dover since July 2010.
UPDATES
The following updates were provided to members:
Schutte Park Space - Boys and Girls Club/CDSA
Mr. Darrell Tingle, Executive Director of the Greater Dover Boys and Girls Club, and
Mr. Scott Brown, President of the Board for the Greater Dover Boys and Girls Club, stated that they
have been meeting with the City Manager, Mr. Anthony DePrima, and the Parks and Recreation
Director, Mr. Zachery Carter, to provide updates on the facility to be built in the Schutte Park area.
Mr. Brown distributed a Schematic Plan for the magnet facility of the Greater Dover Boys and Girls
Club, which was developed by Mr. Robert MacLeish, Sr., President of Lighthouse Construction, Inc.
Mr. Brown noted that there are currently three (3) Boys and Girls Club facilities located in the
City of Dover, with the Simon Circle facility being the largest. He stated that he was notified by the
Dover Housing Authority that, soon, the building at Simon Circle will no longer be available and
that the Boys and Girls Club must vacate the facility by January 2013.
If approved by the City, Mr. Brown stated that the organization plans to present the Schematic Plan
to an architect to develop a design and determine cost estimates to be presented to the State Boys and
Girls Club Board for approval. He explained that it is hoped that the capital campaign will begin
on July 1, 2011. Mr. Brown stated that the local Boys and Girls Club will need to raise 23%-24%
of the funds and the State Board will raise the balance. He noted that the preliminary estimate is
$1.5M to $4M and that it is planned to construct the facility in phases. Mr. Brown stated that he felt
confident that the local Club could raise the required funds for Phase 1 of the project within one (1)
year, noting that this phase would include the walk-in area, a team room, half of the gym,
classrooms, etc., which would provide more than ample space to house the programs that the
organization currently offers.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 7
Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. MacLeish assured members that, although utilities have not been
finalized at this time, green energy sources will be considered.
In response to Mrs. Russell, Mr. Brown stated that he anticipates that Phases 2 and 3 will begin
immediately upon completion of Phase 1; however, Phase 4 will probably be delayed for 5 to 10
years.
Mr. Ruane questioned if staff had reviewed a Conceptual Site Plan for this project and if there were
any concerns regarding the size, exits, entrances, etc. Responding, Mr. DePrima stated that when
the initial “footprint” of the project was received, it was not prepared as a Site Plan; therefore, details
such as size/layout of the parking lot and stormwater management were not included. He reminded
members that one of the Parks and Recreation Director’s goals is to develop a Master Plan for
Schutte Park. Mr. DePrima stated that staff is collaborating with the Planning Department to
determine the location of the building and the number of parking spaces required. He indicated that
this information will be depicted on the Master Plan, noting that the Boys and Girls Club is not at
the point in this project when a Site Plan is required. Mr. DePrima assured members that, since the
building will be smaller than originally proposed, the area will be large enough to accommodate the
project. Since Phase 4 includes adding a second floor to the building, Mr. DePrima suggested that
a reserve area be designated to allow for additional parking, if needed.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima noted that the new roadway created by the realignment of
Wyoming Mill Road will be completed prior to the construction phase of this project, and that City
staff is aware of the Delaware Department of Transportation’s (DelDOT) requirements for entrances
and exits for the facility. Elaborating, Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public
Works, stated that a pre-construction meeting for the new roadway project is scheduled for
March 1, 2011 and that the contractor plans to begin work within 30 days after that date. He noted
that this project is estimated to be completed within six (6) months.
In response to Mrs. Russell, Mr. DePrima stated that, although there are not many adjacent property
owners, it is too early to begin notification, which will occur prior to the construction phase.
Puncheon Run Watershed Action Team and Flood Plain Mapping Update
Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, advised members that the
Kent Conservation District is nearing completion of the overflow channel provided through the
Clean Water Fund. Staff has been working on preparing some of the map tiles related to the
100-year flood plain across the City and identifying all of the individual property owners involved.
Mr. Koenig advised members that a flood study would entail significant funds and that publishing
a new map could have unintended consequences if the map is sent to financing companies, who
could establish flood insurance requirements. He stated that a resident of Shadow Court (adjacent to
Puncheon Run) pursued obtaining his own letter of map revision through the Corps of Engineers,
which cost approximately $400. Mr. Koenig explained that this letter could be used by the resident
to prove to the insurance company that flood insurance is not necessary; however, this type of
amendment does not actually change the map published by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA). He noted that all of the residents along Puncheon Run could pursue map revisions
Página 23
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 8
for their individual properties, some being successful and others not. Mr. Koenig stated that he has
been advised that there have been instances when a private surveyor has been requested to conduct
“group” surveys for individual property owners. It was his feeling that this may be the avenue
preferred by the City if map revisions are desired for these individual property owners versus
obtaining a flood plain study.
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, suggested that the City serve as a facilitator and request the
resident of Shadow Court, his surveyor, Mr. Mike Powell, and interested citizens to conduct a
step-by-step workshop that would empower the residents to obtain map revisions.
The Committee recommended that the City facilitate a workshop with appropriate technical
assistance, including the resident of Shadow Court, to educate residents on how to obtain map
revisions individually or by group action.
By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).
Planning and Funding for New Library
Ms. Margery Cyr, Library Director, reviewed the update information regarding the planning and
funding for the new library.
CDBG Program
Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Manager, reported the Status of FY 2009-2010
CDBG Projects.
Housing and Recovery Act of 2008 Funds (Neighborhood Stabilization Fund)
Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Manager, reviewed the Update on the Housing and
Recovery Act of 2008 Funds (Neighborhood Stabilization Fund) which was provided to members.
Mr. Ruane requested that staff provide the net result of the purchase and sale of properties.
Youth Advisory Committee
Mrs. Russell advised members that applications continue to be received and reviewed for the Youth
Advisory Committee.
In response to Mrs. Russell, Mr. Robert MacLeish, Sr., Greater Dover Committee, stated that he
serves on the Youth Committee of the Greater Dover Committee and felt that the two (2) youth
committees could benefit from interaction. Mrs. Russell assured Mr. MacLeish that
Mrs. Kay Dietz-Sass, Public Affairs Coordinator, would send him information for his review.
By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and
Community Enhancement Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a
unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).

UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - FEBRUARY 14, 2011
The Utility Committee met on February 14, 2011 with Chairman Ruane presiding.
Green Energy Fund Grant Modification
Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, reminded members that approximately five (5) years ago,
the State of Delaware adopted the Delaware Energy Act, which includes a Green Energy
Fund Program. He stated that this program allows the City’s electric customers to contribute funds
to financially support the installation of renewable energy resources and promote the use of energy
efficient technologies. Mr. Lunt noted that this program is administered by the Delaware Municipal
Electric Corporation (DEMEC) for municipal providers in the State, including the City of Dover.
He explained that the Green Energy Fund Program specifies grant limits (a percentage of payment
and total payment) for the installation of qualifying technologies and advised members that DEMEC
suggested that the City modify the percentage of the grant payments, the total grant limits, and
increase efficiency standards for geothermal heat pumps. Mr. Lunt explained that the modifications
will assist in ensuring that funds are available for the greatest number of grant applicants.
He indicated that, currently, the City of Dover has a backlog of applications dating back
approximately 1.5 years.
Mr. Lunt reviewed the Dover Green Energy Fund Incentive/Grant Proposed Changes, which
provides details of the proposed changes recommended by DEMEC and includes two (2)
major variations recommended by staff. He noted that on December 10, 2010, Delmarva Power
and Delaware Electric Cooperative modified their grant programs to incorporate similar
recommendations.
Mr. Lunt explained that staff’s recommendations for variations from DEMEC’s proposed changes
are as follows:
1) Non-profit applicants for photovoltaic system grants should be provided
funding at the same level as non-residential applicants.
2) Non-profit applicants for fuel cells should be provided the same grant
percentage calculation (20%) as residential and non-residential applicants.
Mr. Lunt stated that these suggestions from staff relate to the large number of schools, colleges, and
other non-profit entities based in the City due to the fact that it is the State capital. Because of the
substantial backlog of applications, he indicated that staff felt it more appropriate to treat all
non-residential groups equitably. Mr. Lunt noted that non-profit groups were only identified by
Delmarva Power as separate entities in the December 2010 modification; prior to this, they were
classified in the same category as non-residential applicants.
In reviewing the Dover Green Energy Fund Incentive/Grant Proposed Changes, Mr. Lunt advised
members that the proposed changes were noted in red text on the first line of the table that applies
to each type of system, and that the second line includes current program guidelines. He noted that
the two (2) boxes highlighted in yellow identify staff’s suggested deviations from DEMEC
recommendations. Mr. Lunt also stated that system qualifications were modified to better reflect the
Página 25
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 10
value of the installation. For example, he indicated that photovoltaic and small wind turbine grants
are now based on output rather than installation cost to incentivize the installation of more efficient
systems and that these systems are now limited to a maximum size of 50 kW. Mr. Lunt stated that
the same principle applies to solar water heater and geothermal heat pumps, noting that more
efficient systems receive larger grants, or qualify for these grants. He stated that the least efficient
geothermal heat pumps (previous units with energy efficiency ratings (EER) of 14) would be
eliminated from the program, due, in part, to advancements in technology. Lastly, he advised
members that the limit for the percentage calculation for fuel cell grants is being reduced to provide
more equity between system options.
Responding to Mr. McGiffin, Mr. Lunt indicated his concern that a State facility could be classified
as a non-profit entity. Disagreeing, Mr. McGiffin stated that he felt that the State of Delaware would
not qualify as a non-profit entity.
To further encourage conservation, Mr. Lunt stated that residential applicants will be required to
complete a City of Dover Public Utilities Residential Utility Service Audit, which may be scheduled
by calling 736-7070. He indicated that all non-residential applicants will have an energy audit
completed by a prequalified commercial auditor and that a listing of auditors can be found at
www.energizedelaware.org/businessallies. Mr. Lunt noted that the expense of this audit will be the
sole responsibility of the applicant and that the listing is maintained by Delaware’s Sustainable
Energy Utility. He stated that this requirement is also included in the Green Energy Program
administered for Delmarva Power customers.
Staff recommended adopting the Dover Green Energy Fund Incentive/Grant Proposed Changes as
outlined and funding non-profit applications at the same levels/caps as non-residential applications.
Major Kosior felt that lowering the maximum grant amount could discourage non-profit entities from
applying and suggested that DEMEC is attempting to encourage that specific sector.
Responding, Mr. Lunt stated that the recommendation is not to discourage non-profit groups from
applying, but to continue to consider non-profit applicants as they have been considered in the past,
as part of the non-residential pool of applicants. He suggested that the proposed grant changes that
reflect an inclination to encourage non-profits were made by Delmarva Power, which deals with
various types of stakeholders.
The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation to adopt the Dover Green Energy
Fund Incentive/Grant Proposed Changes, with the stipulation that the proposed changes be revised
to incorporate the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation’s (DEMEC’s) recommendation to
include a distinction for non-profit organizations.
By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).
Retail Customer Demand Response Tariff Modification
Members were reminded that, in 2009, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued
Order No. 719 which attempted, in part, to remove barriers to Demand Response Programs (DRP)
operated by regional transmission organizations such as PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM).
Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, advised members that the City of Dover had a specific
Página 26
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 11
interest in a requirement that those utilities selling less than four (4) million MWh’s must have the
relevant electric retail regulatory authority (City Council) approve the participation of their retail
customers in the program. He stated that on February 22, 2010, City Council affirmed this intent and
created a Retail Customer Demand Response Tariff to document that the City of Dover affirms
participation in this program. Mr. Lunt noted that the tenets of the PJM-operated DRP include a
provision to compensate customers who reduce their consumption during periods of tight energy
supply or high usage. He indicated that the reduction of load also ensures electric grid reliability and
helps alleviate costs associated with new generation plants and transmission upgrades, both of which
are concerns on the Delmarva Peninsula.
Mr. Lunt explained that staff recommends that the City, or its authorized designee, be the only DRP
authorized to administer this program in the City’s electric territory. He stated that, currently, staff
intends to designate DEMEC as its authorized designee. Mr. Lunt advised members that the reason
for the modification to a single provider is twofold, as follows:
1) DEMEC solicited proposals from five (5) different providers and the proposal
selected provided the greatest return to the customer (80% return to customer,
20% retained for operations).
2) The City could call on its customers to reduce load during local system
emergencies and/or in an effort to reduce load during power peaks, utilizing
this procedure as a local demand response program which could reduce future
capacity expenses.
Mr. Lunt advised members that in calendar year 2010, nine (9) customers participated in the DRP
through various Curtailment Service Providers that are registered with PJM. He assured members
that these customers will be notified of the change in the tariff and would transition into the DEMEC
program within one (1) year.
Staff recommended adoption of the modifications to the Retail Customer Demand Response Tariff.
It was noted that the proposed tariff has been reviewed by the City of Dover Utility Attorney,
Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts and Holt, and that he has approved this tariff in its final form.
The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation to adopt modifications to the
Retail Customer Demand Response Tariff.
By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).
Amendments to Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards (RPS) Legislation
Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, reminded members that, in 2010, Delaware legislators
amended the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards (RPS) legislation by requiring
municipally-owned electric utilities to develop plans to include renewable power sources in their
power supply portfolios by 2014. He indicated that the amount of renewable power sources must
be compatible with the standards set for Delmarva Power, which plans to obtain 11.5% of its power
from renewable sources by 2014 and 25% by 2025.
Página 27
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 12
Mr. Lunt reviewed a proposed amendment to the RPS legislation, which would allow municipalities
to include and count conservation, energy efficiency and demand-side management programs in their
RPS plans. He noted that staff felt that these aspects of energy management are just as important
as renewable energy sources and that a credit should be received for these efforts.
Mr. Lunt explained that, in general, these kinds of programs are more cost effective than renewable
energy sources at this time.
Staff recommended that the Mayor and Council President write a letter in support of the
RPS Legislation Amendment.
Mr. Ruane requested that staff advise members when the proposed legislation is presented for a
hearing so that they may attend to indicate their support.
The Committee moved to recommend that the Mayor and Council President send a letter in support
of the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards (RPS) legislation amendment.
By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).
Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and Water/Wastewater)
(December)
Members were provided a Project Tracking Report, as of December 31, 2010, for the Utility
(Electric and Water/Wastewater) Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP).
Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, stated that Council approved a change order for the inclusion
of a force main as a part of the Delaware State University/Delaware Technical and Community
College Force Main Rerouting Project. He advised members that the infrastructure has been
installed and is currently being tested and if it passes, the project will be substantially complete.
Mr. Lunt explained that blacktop work and seeding will be completed in the spring when
temperatures are warmer.
In addition, Mr. Lunt noted that the City has received full approval from the Delaware Department
of Transportation for the Route 13 Water Main Project and he anticipates opening the project for
bids within the next two (2) weeks. He reminded members that this project includes the replacement
of the Route 13 southbound lane water main, from State Street to White Oak Road, and will be a
nighttime project.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the Utility Related CIP (Electric and
Water/Wastewater) Report.
By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT -
FEBRUARY 14, 2011
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on February 14, 2011, with
Chairman Leary presiding.
Review and Recommendation - Filling of Critical Positions
During their meeting of February 23, 2009, members recommended approval of a Hiring Freeze for
Fiscal Year 2008-2009, but to allow the hiring of critical positions through the review and approval
of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee and City Council. It was suggested that
there be a “standing” agenda item to consider the filling of critical positions and, if there were no
positions to consider, the item could be removed.
Mr. Leary noted that there were no critical positions to be considered; therefore, no further action
was required.
Proposed Amendment to Purchasing Policy - Debarment
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that the City recently received a
U. S. Department of Energy grant through the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA).
She explained that, as a result of a sub-grant monitoring visit by DEMA on November 17, 2010,
DEMA recommended incorporating written procedures for vendor debarment in the
City’s Purchasing Policy. Mrs. Mitchell reviewed (new) Section 11 - Debarment of Vendors for
Consideration of Awards of the City’s Purchasing Policy. She noted that the amended policy would
include procedures for the debarment of vendors/contractors who have violated policy standards,
prevent such vendors from contracting with or selling items to the City, and require the use of the
Federal Excluded Parties Listing to preclude the award of any contract utilizing federal funds to
debarred companies/individuals.
The Committee recommended that (new) Section 11 - Debarment of Vendors for Consideration of
Awards be incorporated in the City’s Purchasing Policy.
By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).
Debt Management Policy Review
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer reviewed the Draft City of Dover Debt Management
Policy (issued August 24, 2009 and revised February 14, 2011), noting that the Finance Department
periodically reviews this Policy and presents recommended changes. She explained that
recommended revisions to the Policy were depicted in red font, noting that a majority of the
suggested changes were not substantive but were made to clarify current policy. Mrs. Mitchell noted
the addition of the term “bank qualified” to Section IV, Paragraph A - Short-Term Debt (Page 3).
She indicated that, in this context, the term refers to a tax-free commercial bank loan or tax-exempt
bonds sold to a bank, and noted that this definition was added to the Policy Glossary (Page 13). In
addition, Mrs. Mitchell stated that changes were made to Section V - Restrictions on Debt Issuance,
A) Charter Restrictions, Paragraph iii (Page 4) to reflect that the City’s debt issuance is limited to
five (5) percent of the total assessed value of real property, in accordance with the City’s current
Charter.

Mrs. Mitchell explained that the information included in blue font on Pages 4 and 5 of the
Draft Policy is not part of the policy but was inserted to provide additional information to members
regarding the City’s current financial standing.
Mr. McGiffin commended Mrs. Mitchell’s diligence in ensuring that the policy is current.
The Committee recommended approval of the revised City of Dover Debt Management Policy.
By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).
By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and

JOINT LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION AND SAFETY ADVISORY
AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT - FEBRUARY 17, 2011
A Joint Meeting of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration and Safety Advisory and
Transportation Committees was held on February 17, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Leary
presiding.
Proposals to Address Community Concerns
Members were recently made aware of gang activities occurring in and around the City of Dover.
Meetings were held on November 15, 2010 and December 6, 2010 to discuss these issues. As a
result of these meetings, Police Chief James Hosfelt reviewed a letter from the Dover Police
Department, dated February 4, 2011, which offered possible solutions.
Chief Hosfelt reminded members that the Dover Police Department is currently staffed at 89 officers
and that two (2) additional officers will be hired in March, based on Council’s prior approval, one
(1) of which will be paid over the next 30 months by a Community Oriented Policing
Service (COPS) grant. Chief Hosfelt stated that these two (2) officers will bring the Department’s
staffing to 91 officers. Chief Hosfelt requested consideration of hiring two (2) additional officers,
which would bring the total police force to 93 officers, and that the hiring process be completed in
time for all new officers to attend the next Delaware State Police Academy class, which he stated
may be scheduled as early as mid-March 2011. He reminded members that the current police
operating budget can absorb the costs of the additional officers through the remainder of the fiscal
year; however, he noted that it will take a strong commitment by the Committee and all of Council
to fund these positions in FY 2012 and beyond.
Chief Hosfelt assured members that the Police Department understands its responsibility to serve
the citizens of Dover, while working within the confines of the budget established by City Council,
and that the request would not cause detriment to other needed services within the City. He indicated
that the authorized strength of 93 officers would allow for the number of officers assigned to
community policing, quality of life, and the drug unit to be restored to previous levels.
Página 30
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 15
Mrs. Russell moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Bonar.
Responding to Mr. McGiffin, Mrs. Russell indicated that her motion was to support the
recommendation to increase the police force to 93 officers.
In response to Mr. Bonar, Chief Hosfelt explained his suggestion regarding the concept of
“civilianizing” some positions within the Department that are currently filled by police officers, such
as the Red Light Enforcement Officer, noting that the cost of a civilian employee would be less than
that of an officer. He stated that there are some positions that could be filled with retired law
enforcement officers, and that the State Police have adopted this approach with some units.
Chief Hosfelt explained that hiring retired officers for these positions is a necessity because police
certification is required, and retired officers can maintain certification with very little impact to the
organization. He advised members that a civilian Sex Offender Agent costs the State approximately
$40,000 per year and a civilian Red Light Enforcement Officer costs approximately $46,000 per
year, much less than the cost of a new officer at $85,000. Therefore, he stated that filling these
positions with retired officers would be another way to increase available police staffing at a cost
much less than hiring an additional officer.
Responding to Mr. Bonar regarding the request to establish a one-time “Police Chief” discretionary
fund by including an additional $40,000 in the budget, Chief Hosfelt stated that the additional funds
are being requested to financially sustain the Department through the end of the fiscal year when the
Department will be “short” officers due to Academy attendance.
Mr. DePrima assured members that staff has completed the latest estimate for the current budget and
that funds are available to accommodate the two (2) monetary recommendations (two (2) additional
officers and an additional $40,000 in discretionary funds).
Mr. Bonar moved to amend the motion by accepting the Police Chief’s Report in its entirety by
recommending approval of the recommendation for the additional $40,000 in discretionary funds
and civilianizing positions within the Department that are currently filled by police officers.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Davis.
Mr. McGiffin relayed reluctance to support the amendment to the motion since the financial
implications of the additional $40,000 discretionary funds and the creation of three (3) civilian
positions are not known. Responding, Chief Hosfelt stated that the recommendation is to explore
the option of civilianizing positions so that, in the future, if it is determined that additional police
officers are necessary, this approach could be used to increase the number of police officers with less
impact on the budget. However, he assured members that, at this time, staff is not recommending
authorization to civilianize the positions, but is only recommending that this concept be explored for
possible implementation in the future.
In regards to the additional $40,000 discretionary funds, Mr. DePrima stated that the financial
implication would be limited to $40,000, explaining that if the $40,000 being considered is not
provided to the Police Department, it would be applied to the fund balance.
Página 31
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 16
Responding to Mr. Ruane regarding consideration of civilianizing School Resource Officers,
Chief Hosfelt informed members that the State Police attempted to make all School Resource
Officers agents rather than officers (retired police officers) last year, and State legislators did not
approve this request. As a result, he stated that this change would require an amendment in
legislation and noted that staff would be willing to further investigate this matter.
Mr. Ruane requested that staff determine the possibility of including the civilianization of the
School Resource Officers and provide members an update.
The amendment to include accepting the Police Chief’s Report in its entirety by recommending
approval of an additional $40,000 in discretionary funds and consideration of civilianizing positions
within the Department that are currently filled by police officers was unanimously carried.
The Committee recommended that the Police Chief be authorized to hire two (2) additional officers
for the upcoming Police Academy class, which would bring the total police force to 93 officers;
establish a one-time "Police Chief" discretionary fund by including an additional $40,000 in the
budget; and review the feasibility of civilianizing positions within the department that are currently
filled by police officers.
By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).
By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for acceptance of the Joint Legislative, Finance, and
Administration and Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Report, seconded by
Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).
Public Comment Period (15 Minutes)
There was no one present wishing to speak during the public comment period.
ANNUAL REPORTS
By motion of Mrs. Williams, seconded by Mr. Bonar, the following Annual Reports were
accepted by consent agenda (Mr. Leary absent):
Fire Department
Planning and Community Development
Police Department
EVALUATION OF BIDS - WELLHEAD REDEVELOPMENT CONTRACT
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that the Public Utilities Department
maintains blanket contracts with potential contractors to ensure that the bidding rules are adhered
to for any contractors that might be hired to perform work for the Utility Department. He indicated
that these contracts are priced as a "time, equipment, and material" contract and may exceed $25,000
annually.
Mr. DePrima explained that the Wellhead Development Contract will provide for the rehabilitation
and repair of nineteen (19) production wells in an effort to maintain operations and/or increase the
yield of each well as it relates to the permitted allocation. He noted that the recommended contractor
Página 32
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 17
will perform flow testing of each well and provide a report detailing testing results and
recommendations. Mr. DePrima stated that, upon reviewing information provided by the contractor,
the City of Dover will plan for and/or schedule further repairs as needed based upon the bid prices
provided.
Mr. DePrima stated that a Request for Proposal (RFP) was advertised according to the City
purchasing policy by the City's Purchasing Agent under RFP #11-0037DPU and a mandatory pre-bid
meeting was held on January 13, 2011. Three (3) potential bidders attended this meeting and two (2)
submitted qualified proposals. The proposals were evaluated using the following criteria:
demonstrated experience with similar projects including a history of achieving highest and best
results among its peers; cost; previous projects in the City of Dover; and availability to perform
duties. Mr. DePrima stated that the recommended contractor scored the highest on this evaluation
and, based on the minimum anticipated scope of work for this year, had the lowest cost proposal. The
two (2) bidders provided base bid prices for known (defined) work, hourly rates for anticipated
(undefined work), and future year escalation charges. A.C. Schultes of Delaware, Inc. included a
3.5% annual escalation and Uni-Tech Drilling Company, Inc. included a 10% annual escalation.
Staff recommended awarding a three (3) year agreement for the Wellhead Redevelopment Blanket
Contract to A.C. Schultes of Delaware, Inc., as per the pricing included in the bid submittal.
Mr. McGiffin moved for approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Salters and
carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).
EVALUATION OF BIDS - ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT FOR WATER AND
WASTEWATER UTILITIES
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that the Water and Wastewater Utilities are
continuously working on various system upgrades and capacity improvements to the infrastructure
of both utilities. These projects take numerous hours of engineering design and analysis, in addition
to project management efforts. He explained that this request for proposal was designed to obtain
engineering firms capable of performing engineering and project management services in the
appropriate areas for each utility. Nineteen (19) proposals were received, reviewed, and analyzed.
Five (5) firms were deemed non-responsive due to the omission of required information. The
fourteen (14) firms which submitted complete proposals were evaluated based on ability to provide
services and may not represent the lowest price.
Mr. DePrima stated that, due to the number of projects, the variety of complexity involved in each
project, and the need to meet the requirements of the Utilities, staff recommended, awarding the
contract to three (3) companies. This would allow flexibility to choose a firm based on its
availability and individual expertise.
Mr. DePrima noted that each firm was evaluated on each function in the following areas: experience
(demonstrated experience with similar projects and history of achieving highest and best results
among its peers); project management (project organization and management, including staffing,
management control and sub-contractor utilization); staff (qualifications and utilization of the firm's
employees assigned to the provision of services, including previous work experience, technical
Página 33
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 18
management experience, education and training); costs (analysis of hourly rates and other costs for
the various phases of services proposed); service ability (firm's ability to provide a full spectrum of
engineering services including personnel, managerial, and other resources required to meet the
project's objectives); location (geographical location in relation to the City of Dover); local standards
(familiarity and experience with the standards of the City of Dover, Delaware Department of
Transportation (DelDOT), Kent Conservation District (KCD), Delaware Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), and Delaware Office of Drinking Water (ODW).
Mr. DePrima noted that the total cost over the term of each contract will probably exceed $25,000;
however, costs will be reflected in the appropriate budget. Upon award, these consultants will be
available to all City departments requiring civil engineering based services. These services, as
contained within the Scope of Work in the Request for Proposals, include: civil design engineering,
construction engineering/inspection, project administration, general civil support (plan review, cost
estimating, surveying, mapping, project conceptualization, etc.), traffic engineering, structural
engineering, and geological/geotechnical engineering or other related services.
Staff recommended awarding three (3) three-year contracts to URS Corporation, Pennoni
Associates Inc., and KCI Technologies, Inc., as per the pricing included in the bid submittal.
Mr. Bonar moved for approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Salters and
carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).
EVALUATION OF BIDS - DOVER PUBLIC LIBRARY BID PAC B
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that in July 2009, EDiS Company was
selected as the construction management firm for the Dover Public Library project. During their
Regular Meeting of November 22, 2010, City Council approved a contract with EDiS Company for
construction and construction administration services, pending final determination of the guaranteed
maximum price. He noted that, with the completion of the construction documents and bidding, the
construction phase for the library project is ready to begin.
Mr. DePrima stated that EdiS Company would serve as the Construction Manager at Risk for the
Dover Public Library project. Under the Construction Manager at Risk agreement, a maximum
guaranteed price for the library construction was determined after all bids were reviewed by
EdiS Company. The proposed Guaranteed Maximum Price for the construction is $16,502,821. The
project is slightly below budget when combined with all the other related project costs, including the
revised cost of the exit road included in Bid Pac A. The total project costs are $20,631,252, which
is $14,917 less than estimated in November. There have been a number of changes throughout the
cost summary, some of which are as follows: 1) as prices were refined, costs moved from the
contingency in Other Construction Costs to Trade Costs; 2) design cost in the original document
overlooked the architect's program confirmation fee spent early in the project; 3) estimated costs of
Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment was reduced; and 4) there is a new $21,303 owner's contingency
in Owner Administration that can be used for contingency costs not related to construction, such as
site work, in addition to the $485,802 construction contingency. At the end of the project, if costs
are under the Guaranteed Maximum Price or budgeted contingency costs are not used, the savings
will go to the City.
Página 34
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 19
Mr. DePrima explained that, if there are apparent savings during construction, he may reinstate
options to construct some features that have been removed from the project through value
engineering and present them to City Council for approval. He noted that EDiS Company continues
to work on cost savings with contractors and that any further cost savings will be reflected in a
greater owner's contingency.
Mr. DePrima stated that a number of additional value engineering options were exercised during the
bidding administration phase to bring the project within the scope of the budget; however, none of
the value engineering options have affected the scope of the project, program space, or the
Leadership in Energy Design (LEED) certification. Included in the base budget is the fit-out of the
1,200 square foot multi-purpose rooms. Originally, this was recommended as an add alternate to be
funded at a later date; however the importance of the multiple purpose room was elevated with the
recent announcement of the Broadband Technologies Opportunity Program (BTOP) Grant. The
federal grant requires a job center and technical training room. The Technology Lab was planned
to serve as an interim multiple-purpose room; therefore, the multi-purpose room must be fitted out
now. Constructing the multi-purpose room as part of the core construction will allow rental revenue
to be received earlier and permit more community programming. To fit the multi-purpose room into
the core construction budget, the stone exterior ends of the building will be removed from the project
and a more cost effective brick treatment will be utilized. This change was strongly endorsed by the
Anchor Library Steering Committee and was reviewed with the Historic District Commission, who
will review the alternate exterior treatment of the exterior ends of the building.
Mr. DePrima noted that the Teen Loft fit-out is not included in the Guaranteed Maximum Price. He
stated that the Anchor Library Steering Committee strongly urges City Council to consider adding
this option back into the project, as teen services are an essential library component. EDiS Company
advises that the fit-out can be added for $169,080, which is is significantly less than the $338,775
estimate given to City Council in November and represents less than 1% of the total project budget.
The Steering Committee feels that this is an important part of the library programming, particularly
in light of the efforts to combat teen gangs and drug use, as the Teen Loft will become a safe place
for Dover's teens. The Committee also feels that the Teen Loft is an important feature to promote
for library fundraising. In addition, fitting the Teen Loft after the library is built would cost more
and disrupt library operations. The Steering Committee feels that this added cost can be covered
through the fundraising campaign. Mr. DePrima advised members that, assuming the $169,080
would be borrowed, $19,000 would be added to the debt service figures presented in November,
resulting in a tax increase of less than $1 per year.
Referring to the updated Library Funding Plan, Mr. DePrima noted that an additional $257,761 has
been raised since the plan was presented in November and stated that this is reflected in the reduction
of the construction loan line item.
Mr. Gerald Doherty, Vice President, EDiS Company, advised members that EdiS has agreed to an
open book process, which means that the City will have the opportunity to audit the books, evaluate
bidders, and evaluate the results to see how the total price was arrived at. He noted that the project
was publicly advertised for all bidders under certain criteria, such as required bonding of contractors.
Página 35
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 20
The lowest bids were reviewed to ensure the contractor had bid on the correct project, the right scope
of work, and did not miss any part of the proposal. Mr. Doherty stated that EDiS was able to
successfully select the low bidder in every category of the project and abided by the City’s
requirements for local vendor and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) preference.
Mr. Doherty stated that EDiS agreed to manage the project as a Construction Manager at Risk under
the condition that a large amount of money is set aside to draw from to cover any inconsistencies in
the drawings and any items that may occur during construction of the project that could cause price
increases. He noted that there are no shared savings; therefore, if contingency funds remain after the
project is completed, the savings will be returned to the City. Mr. Doherty advised members that,
prior to finalizing the contracts for the subcontractors, the contractors will be able to recommend
voluntary alternates or cost-saving ideas to further reduce the cost of the project.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Doherty stated that over 115 bidders responded to the advertisements
for bids and 20 separate contracts would be awarded. He noted that there would be a minimum of
35-40 and a maximum of 80-85 individuals onsite during construction.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Doherty stated that four (4) DBE contracts, constituting 20% of
the cost of the project, will be awarded. He advised members that the number may be higher once
the sub-tier contracts are awarded. Mr. Salters requested that an update be provided on the number
of actual DBE contracts after the sub-tier contracts were completed.
Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contractual agreement with
EdiS Company for a preliminary estimated amount of $16,502,821 for the construction of the project
and approving the Library Steering Committee’s request to fit out the Teen Loft. Mr. DePrima
advised members that the next matter that City Council will consider related to this project is
Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment, which are currently budgeted at $938,800 and that this matter
will be addressed in late 2011 or early 2012.
Mr. Ruane moved to authorize the City Manager to enter into a Construction Manager at Risk
contract with EDiS Company for construction management and construction of the Dover Library
project for the maximum guaranteed price of $16,502,821. The motion was seconded by
Mr. McGiffin.
Referring to the list of Funding Sources provided, Mrs. Williams asked for clarification on the
Sale of 45 S. State Street - Use Bridge Loan and Sale of Building - Construction Loan, listed in the
“Highly Probable” column. Responding, Mr. DePrima stated that both of these items were placed
in the “Highly Probable” column because City Council has control over the sale of the building and
some potential buyers have expressed interest. He noted that bridge and construction loans will be
obtained to cover the difference between the funding goal and the amount of funds raised to date,
which currently amounts to $2,742,239. Mr. DePrima stated it is hoped that $1.2M will be raised
from the sale of the building and the remaining funds will be obtained through fundraising. If the
full amount is not attained through these means, the remainder will be included in a financing plan.

The motion to authorize the City Manager to enter into a Construction Manager at Risk
contract with EDiS Company for construction management and construction of the Dover
Library project for the maximum guaranteed price of $16,502,821 was carried by a roll call
vote of six (6) yes (Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Russell, Mr. McGiffin, Mr. Salters, Mr. Ruane, and
Mr. Hogan), two (2) no (Dr. McGlumphy and Mrs. Williams) (Mr. Leary absent).
Mr. Ruane moved to authorize the City Manager to include the fitting-out of the Teen Loft,
in the amount of $169,080, in the contract, seconded by Mr. McGiffin and carried by a roll call
vote of six (6) yes (Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Russell, Mr. McGiffin, Mr. Salters, Mr. Ruane, and
Mr. Hogan), two (2) no (Dr. McGlumphy and Mrs. Williams) (Mr. Leary absent).
Mr. Hogan announced that he plans to donate $1,000 to the Teen Loft on May 9, 2011 and
encouraged any and all members of the community to send donations to the City Clerk’s Office and
so that one (1) large donation could be made at that time.
Mr. Bonar stated that the Teen Loft will go a long way toward trying to incorporate public safety
improvements that the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee has been working on with the
Police Department.
EVALUATION OF BIDS - DOVER PUBLIC LIBRARY BID PAC A - REVISED FINAL
ESTIMATE AND TRUE-UP COSTS
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that Library Bid Pac A includes construction
of the rear access drive, a retaining wall, and other related improvement for the new Library site
adjacent to City Hall. During the initial excavation for the road and the retaining wall, a significant
amount of unsuitable soils were discovered by the contractor, Reybold Construction, Inc. No soil
borings were conducted in this area of the site as part of site plan process; therefore, these conditions
were not anticipated to be found. These expenses were negotiated as part of the change order
process. The amount of unsuitable soils required significant undercutting below the retaining wall
foundation and the road bed. In addition, all of the material that was removed from the site as a
result of the undercutting operation was deemed unsuitable for future use on the project; therefore,
a substantial amount of crushed concrete was required to back fill under the access drive and behind
the retaining wall. All of this additional work resulted in a substantial change order for this portion
of the overall project. The original contract amount for the access drive, retaining wall, and related
improvements was $130,000 and the revised true-up cost is $195,000. Construction is
approximately 90% complete as of February 15, 2011.
Staff recommended approval of the revised final estimate and true-up costs for this phase of
the project in the amount of $195,000 for the payment of construction improvements
associated with Dover Public Library - Bid Pac A. The motion was seconded by Mr. McGiffin
and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Leary absent).

A member of the Dover Police Department since 2005, PFC Chris Bumgarner was
named Officer of the Year for 2010, in recognition of his outstanding work ethic and
dedication to duty. One example of his dedication is the apprehension of multiple
shooting suspects after a gang related gun battle had ensued in a Dover neighborhood.
The gun fight involved numerous gang members that were in the process of fleeing the
area when the call came into the Dover Police Department. PFC Bumgarner was one of
the officers who responded to the scene and based on the physical evidence and the
information being provided, he was able to identify multiple residences that the
suspected shooters had fled into and set up a perimeter around the homes and contained
the situation. As a result of PFC Bumgarner’s decisive thinking and actions, officers
were able to safely and successfully contact and arrest multiple shooters involved in the
incident as well as recover weapons utilized in the shooting.
PFC Christopher Bumgarner truly exemplifies the term "Dover's Finest".
A member of the Dover Police Department since 2001, Robert was named Civilian
of the Year for 2010, in recognition of his outstanding professionalism and dedication to
his duties, whereas he completed destruction trips to the steel mill in which over 150
weapons were destroyed. He also teaches evidence and photography to both the Citizens
Police Academy and new police officers. Robert is also called upon to take photos at City
functions in addition to his regular duties.
Robert Neylan clearly has earned the honor of being named Civilian of the Year.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Public Hearing before the
Dover City Council
March 14, 2011
Proposed Amendments to the
2008 Comprehensive Plan: A summary of the proposed amendments to the 2008 Comprehensive
Plan follows. A detailed description and analysis of each proposed
amendment is provided in the following pages of this report.
1. Land Use and Zoning Matrix (Table 12-1): The first staff-initiated
amendment includes the addition of zoning classifications to the
Open Space land use classification in the Land Use and Zoning
Matrix.
2. Land Development Plan Map Changes Related to Open Space
(Map 12-1): The second staff-initiated amendment is a series of
changes to the Land Development Plan Map (Map 12-1) to change
the Land Use Classification of a series of properties from Open
Space to more appropriate classifications based on their uses and
surrounding uses. During the implementation of the City’s ROS
(Recreational and Open Space) zone, staff identified a number of
parcels that had shown on the Land Development Plan Map as Open
Space, while their use was something different. This is the fine-
tuning of the Land Development Plan Map that is expected during
implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
3. Land Use Classification Change from Institutional to Residential
High Density (Map 12-1): This is an applicant-initiated request to
change property from an Institutional land use classification to
Residential High Density land use classification. The property is
located at 101-405 Dove View Drive, just north of Delaware Route 8
between Saulsbury Road and the Modern Maturity Center. It was
previously approved under a PND: Senior Citizen Housing Option,
as senior apartments. The applicant wishes to develop as apartments
without an age restriction. (Z-11-03)

MI-11-01 – 2011 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Report to City Council – March 14, 2011
Page 2
Project Background:
The 2008 Comprehensive Plan was adopted by City Council on February 9, 2008, and
subsequently amended on November 23, 2009, in conjunction with the 2009 Comprehensive
Rezoning Project. As adopted, the Comprehensive Plan sets forth a process by which the
Comprehensive Plan can be amended on an annual basis. Amendments to the Comprehensive
Plan can be initiated by staff or requested by members of the public. For amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan that involve rezoning of property, the requests are processed concurrently.
The process to amend the Comprehensive Plan is detailed in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan,
Chapter 15: Implementation, specifically on pages 183 and 184 of the Plan.
The proposed amendments are detailed below and represented in the attachments. The
attachments include: a) Proposed Revisions to Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix; b) Map
12-1A – amendments to the Land Development Plan Map; and c) Table entitled “2011 City of
Dover Land Development Plan Map Changes 12-1” – listing of all parcels proposed to be
amended in the proposed amendments to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan.
1. Land Use and Zoning Matrix (Table 12-1)
The amendments to the Land Use and Zoning Matrix (Table 12-1) are also changes brought
forward by staff as a follow up to the 2010 Comprehensive Rezoning Project – Recreational and
Open Space Zone (ROS). As adopted in February 2009 and subsequently amended in November
2009, the Land Use and Zone Matrix states for Open Space:
Land Use Category Zoning District
Lands that are shown on the Land Development
Plan as Open Space are not proposed for rezoning.
They will remain as zoned as of this printing. Once
Open Space
an Open Space Zone is developed, some areas will
be proposed for rezoning to this designation.
Following the creation of the Recreational and Open Space Zone (ROS) and the process of
applying this zone to properties shown as Open Space on the Land Development Plan Map, staff
is bringing forward a revision to this table to remove the above text and add ROS (Recreational
and Open Space) and RC (Recreational and Commercial) to the Land Use and Zoning Matrix as
compatible zones with the Open Space land use classification, as reflected below. (Attachment 1)

MI-11-01 – 2011 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Report to City Council – March 14, 2011
Page 3
These amendments to Land Development Plan Map (Map 12-1) are map corrections brought
forward by staff as a follow-up to the 2010 Comprehensive Rezoning Project – Recreational and
Opens Space Zone (ROS). During the process of applying the newly-created ROS zone to areas
identified as Open Space in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan (Map 12-1: Land Development Plan),
staff identified a number of parcels that were shown as Open Space, but had non-open space
uses. These parcels are typically adjacent to open space areas, such as parks and cemeteries, and
they had been shaded as Open Space in development of the Land Development Plan Map (Map
12-1). The amendments brought forward would categorize the lands in a manner consistent with
their present use, zoning, and surroundings. (Identified as items 1-16 on Attachment 3)
3. Land Use Classification Change from Institutional to Residential High Density (Map
12-1)
This proposed amendment is an applicant-initiated amendment, where the applicant is requesting
that certain properties located north of Forrest Avenue (Delaware Route 8) west of Saulsbury
Road be changed from Institutional land use classification to Residential High Density land use
classification. This is associated with application number Z-11-03 Lands of CRM Mid-Atlantic,
LLC. (Identified as 17 on Attachment 3) The affected parcel is ED-05-076.07-01-30.00-000.
According to the applicant:
Doveview was approved by the City as an aged restricted apartment complex under
the Planned Neighborhood Design Senior Housing Option. The approved project
consists of 192 units within 4 – four story buildings. Construction stopped in 2008,
leaving two partially completed, four-story buildings. CRM Mid-Atlantic obtained
ownership of the project through foreclosure proceedings. As the senior housing
market is no longer financially viable due to current economic conditions, CRM Mid-
Atlantic LLC requests that a comprehensive plan amendment and change in zone to
allow the apartments to be rented by the general public. The current land use
designation and zoning are institutional and institutional/office (IO), respectively.
CRM Mid-Atlantic LLC seeks a change in the land use designation to high density
residential, and to rezone the property to general residence (RG-5). RG-5 is the only
zone that will permit the existing four story apartment buildings to remain without
requiring a variance in the height and number of stories from the Board of
Adjustment. Although RG-5 allows for higher density (approx 326 units), the number
of units that can actually exist on this property is dictated by the parking
requirements in the zoning code. Doveview (as approved) has 246 parking spaces,
which is 1.3 spaces per unit. Rezoning to RG-5 requires 2.25 parking spaces per
unit. Doveview is located in an area surrounded by commercial, institutional, and
residential uses. The requested zoning is consistent with the goals of the
Comprehensive Plan because Doveview is close to services, jobs, and transit.
The subject parcel was previously approved as DoveView Apartments, a Planned Neighborhood
Design – Senior Citizen Housing Option. Under the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance in
Article 3 §24 for the Planned Neighborhood Design Option (File Number C-03-08 and C-06-02),
a property zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) is permitted to be considered for
development with the PND: Senior Citizen Housing Option through the Conditional Use review
process.
Página 60
MI-11-01 – 2011 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Report to City Council – March 14, 2011
Page 4
The DoveView PND – Senior Citizen Housing Option plan included 192 dwelling units in four
four-story apartment buildings. The plan as approved would include 246 parking spaces and an
overall density of 28.52 dwelling units per acre.
The City issued building permits for the four buildings that make up DoveView in late 2007 and
early 2008. Construction began on two buildings and ultimately ceased. The property went into
foreclosure and is now owned by CRM Mid-Atlantic, LLC (Sun Trust Bank). Because
construction ceased for more than one year, the site development plan associated with DoveView
has expired (Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.491(a)). Site development plan approval is
required prior to initiation of any construction activity on the site, regardless of the outcome of
the request to amend the Comprehensive Plan.
Regarding High Density Residential uses, on Chapter 12 – Land Development, page 147 and
148, the 2008 Comprehensive Plan recommends the following:
The Comprehensive Land Development Plan recommends that high density
residential be dispersed throughout the City along arterial roadways in close
proximity to other high-density residential uses, schools, neighborhood commercial
areas, transit service, and other compatible non-residential land use areas. High
density residential development is also appropriate in some areas of the downtown,
most of which are shown as mixed use on the Land Development Plan.
The subject site is located off Saulsbury Road and Delaware Route 8, both of which are
identified as Urban Minor Arterials in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. It is also within proximity
(walking distance) to schools (Booker T. Washington Elementary School, William Henry Middle
School, and the Academy of Dover), commercial areas (including the TD Bank and Walgreens
Drug Store on adjacent parcels and the Gateway West Shopping Center to the south, across
Forrest Avenue), transit service, and other services (including medical offices).
Recommendation of the Planning Staff and Planning Commission:
1. Land Use and Zoning Matrix (Table 12-1)
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend in favor of the amendments to
Table 12-1, the Land Use and Zoning Matrix. The proposed amendments add clarification to
the table as a result of the creation and implementation of the Recreational and Open Space
Zone (ROS).
2. Land Development Plan Map Changes Related to Open Space (Map 12-1)
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend in favor or the amendments to
correct areas erroneously reflected as Open Space on the Land Development Plan Map as
depicted in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan (as amended on 11/23/2009). These are corrections
of mapping errors found in applying the Recreational and Open Space Zone (ROS). These
are identified as items # 1-16 in Attachment 3.
3. Land Use Classification Change from Institutional to Residential High Density (Map
12-1)
Página 61
MI-11-01 – 2011 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Report to City Council – March 14, 2011
Page 5
Staff recommends in favor of changing the land use classification of property north of Forrest
Avenue and west of Saulsbury Road, known as DoveView from Institutional to Residential
High Density land use classification. This is identified as item # 17 in Attachment 3. Staff
also believes that the proposed rezoning supports the articulated need for affordable housing
within the City of Dover. This need is articulated in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, and has
also been consistently articulated by City Council at their annual retreats.
The location of the site near the intersection of two Urban Minor Arterial streets, within
walking distance to a variety of goods and services, and served by public transportation,
make this a suitable site for high density residential development. Additionally, one of the
challenges typically encountered when considering high density residential development is
the resistance from residential neighbors living in lower density residential developments.
This location is not directly adjacent to other, lower density residential development that
would generate these types of conflicts.
All Staff recommendations were made prior to the public hearing before the Planning
Commission. Following a public hearing on February 22, 2011, where several members of the
public spoke with regards to the requested Land Development Plan change #3, the Planning
Commission voted to recommend in favor of the proposed amendments to the 2008
Comprehensive Plan with seven members voting in favor and two members absent.

Attachment 4 – Excerpt from DRAFT Minutes of the February 22, 2011 Meeting of the
Planning Commission (Minutes scheduled for adoption on March 21, 2011)
MI-11-01 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2011 - Public Hearing and Review for
Recommendation to City Council of a series of Amendments to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan,
as amended, by replacing Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix and Map 12-1: Land
Development Plan. The amendment to Table 12-1 is to add zoning classifications to the Open
Space land use classification in the Land Use and Zoning Matrix. The series of amendments to
Map 12-1: Land Development Plan Map will revise the Land Use Classification from Open
Space for certain properties to more appropriate classifications based on the property uses and
surrounding uses.
Representative: Staff
Mrs. Townshend stated that there are two (2) Staff recommended changes to the Comprehensive Plan. Both are fine
tuning things that happen as the Plan is implemented. You will recall that back in July; the Planning Commission
looked at the rezoning of properties to the Recreational and Open Space (ROS) zoning classification that had been
created earlier in 2010. When Staff was going through to determine which properties to bring forward for rezoning
to that classification, we picked up some errors. Essentially, areas that for example may have been a house that
somehow were made green on the Land Development Plan Map. We did not bring forward a recommendation to
rezone the uses that are not consistent with the Open Space classification to the Recreational and Open Space
zoning. The first part of this application is to correct the areas that were picked up in the green areas on the
Development Plan Map which is what is expected in the Comprehensive Rezoning phases when you get into more
of the parcel level analysis rather than the broad brush that you do at the Comprehensive Plan level.
Mrs. Townshend further stated that if you look at the table that was included in your packet, you are looking at
numbers 1 through 16 which are essentially properties that were painted green in the Comprehensive Plan that when
we went to apply that zoning classification, we determined that this was not in fact the current use or the intended
used for those areas. This is a clean-up for the Comprehensive Plan.
Mrs. Townshend further stated that the second part of this relates to the implementation of the Recreational and
Open Space Zone. Staff is proposing a number of amendments to the Land Development Plan chapter in the Land
Use and Zoning Matrix which is Table 12-1 of the Comprehensive Plan that would, instead of having the language
of: “Lands that are on the Land Development Plan as Open Space are not proposed for rezoning. They will remain
as zoned as of this printing. Once an Open Space Zone is developed, some areas will be proposed for rezoning for
this designation.” Following the implementation of the Open Space Zone or what turned out to be the Recreational
and Open Space Zone, recommendation is to amend this Table as it relates to Open Space by putting the ROS
(Recreation and Open Space Zone) and the RC (Recreational and Commercial Zone) as the appropriate zoning
classifications for that Land Use category.
Mr. Hemmig questioned if there were any Commission member comments or questions at this time and there were
none.
Mr. Hemmig questioned that the second part of the Open Space is going to be Recreational and Commercial Zone,
what is the commercial part? Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mrs. Townshend stated that these two zoning
classifications are the classifications that would be acceptable in this area. When Staff was looking at what to rezone
to recreation and open space areas, the Maple Dale Country Club is shown as Open Space in the Comprehensive
Plan. They had some concerns about rezoning that as it would take them from Recreational and Commercial Zone to
the Recreational and Open Space Zone. At the time of the proposed rezoning, they voiced their concerns on the
record and the decision was recommended by the Planning Commission and approved by City Council to have them
retain their zoning of RC. When you look at what the appropriate land use classifications are, it makes more sense
to change the table then it would to change the map.
Mr. Hemmig further questioned regarding Table 12-1 where there are general land use categories and low and high
density, he noticed certain zonings are in more than one category. Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mrs. Townshend
Página 68
Attachment 4 – Excerpt from DRAFT Minutes of the February 22, 2011 Meeting of the Planning Commission
stated that essentially, the intent of this Table is to give guidance so that when a rezoning application comes before
the City, the Planning Commission, City Council and Staff that you can use that Table as a basis to determine if this
is what the Comprehensive Plan intended. In some cases, for instance, a zoning classification that falls into more
than one would be the R-8 which is a one family classification. It is a single family detached zoning designation
which has some of the lower density attributes; however, it is a higher density than some of the others.
Mrs. Townshend further stated that in terms of #3 listed in the report this is being pulled out entirely. It will be
brought forward next month as a separate amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The other applicant initiated
Comprehensive Plan Amendment is a change in classification from Institutional to Residential High Density.
Mr. Hemmig questioned if there was a representative at the meeting for DoveView and if they would please come
down to the podium.
Representative: Mr. Gregg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, Inc. representing Sun Trust Bank.
Mrs. Townshend stated that in the report what you have is the verbiage provided by the applicant to justify the
change in the Comprehensive Plan as well as the analysis of Staff. Essentially, DoveView, if you will recall, was
previously approved as a Senior Citizen Housing Option project under the PND for 192 dwelling units and age
restricted for 55 aged and over. The apartments were under construction and construction ceased in about 2008 and
nothing has moved forward. What we have now is two (2) partially completed buildings and an expired Site Plan.
Regardless of the zoning classification and whether it remains what it is zoned now or whether it is rezoned, you
will see it back as a Site Development Plan application.
Mrs. Townshend further stated that the applicant is requesting to use the housing style and the housing density that
was approved for DoveView, but not have it age restricted. It is clear that they will not be able to achieve the
number of units that DoveView was approved for because there are parking issues. DoveView did not provide 2.25
parking spaces per unit because when it was senior housing it was less. She believes, based on what DelDOT
recommended during the PLUS review, that there will be a Traffic Impact Study required or at least the discussion
of that with the potential of paying into the area-wide study. What they are looking to do is utilize the infrastructure
that was put in place for DoveView and to capture a portion of that density through multi-story apartment buildings;
however, not age restricted. They are requesting, in terms of the Comprehensive Plan, a change to Residential High
Density in terms of the zoning which will be #3 on the agenda; they are requesting RG-5. This will be a separate
action by the Planning Commission once the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is dealt with because the two are tied
together. It is important that the applicant speaks on the matter and that the public speak during the public hearing.
Mr. Moore stated that Sun Trust Bank has been in suit with the previous developer DoveView, LLC and prevailed in
that suit. Around the 16th to the 20th of February a new deed was filed in the name of the bank and that deed is CRM
Mid-Atlantic, LLC which was setup by the bank to own it. This transfer to the bank has just occurred in the last
week or ten days and what the bank is trying to do is act quickly and get this property back into productive use.
They want to clean the property up and bring on a developer to continue to build or rebuild these buildings. They
understand to do that they have to go back through the Site Plan process and have talked to Staff with regards to the
process of doing that. We, at Becker Morgan Group, have evaluated the plan and believe that there will be
significantly less units than you have seen before in an RG-5 project with 2.25 parking spaces per unit under the
RG-5 zoning classification. It was 1.25 with the senior project with 246 parking spaces to serve 192 units.
Mr. Moore further stated that they have done a Concept Plan for the bank and have estimated for them the total
number of units as an RG-5 project would be somewhere around 120 and 144 units not 190, so it is coming down
significantly. We believe that a whole building will be dropped off of the plan as there will not be four (4)
buildings; however, there will be no more than three (3). There will be fewer units with less folks on the property
with it being a non-senior project. The banks intention is to sell this project to a developer who will be the entity
that reconstructs, operates, owns, and managers the new project once we get it conceived and the bank is prepared to
continue through the Site Plan process. We also need to go through a complete building evaluation to make sure we
do the right thing with these buildings because they have been sitting there for a number of years. There are
structural and environmental evaluations that they are doing to make sure that we properly bring these buildings
back into service without causing a problem.
Mr. Hemmig opened a public hearing.

Attachment 4 – Excerpt from DRAFT Minutes of the February 22, 2011 Meeting of the Planning Commission
Mr. Leonard Iacono - Stated that he has some concerns regarding what the request is. From afar, he has been
following this project as a major developer in the area. From what he understands, this original project was initially
approved for condominiums. There was then a trade-off done changing it from a condominium unit to allow for age
restricted apartments. He questions the validity of putting out and lifting age restricted requirements given what the
original intent was. He does not know where all of this is going at the end of the day; however, if he is correct, this
is the history here. He personally thinks that it should stay that way.
Mrs. Carolyn Fredericks – Executive Director, Modern Maturity Center – Stated that she believes that there is
a great need for affordable senior housing in Dover. She understands the buildings need to have some work done
and obviously she would like to have a nice neighbor there as well. Her concern is, and we have filed the
appropriate paperwork, to get rid of the connectivity between the two properties should the zoning be changed.
Mr. James Hutchison – 15 Glen Eagles Court- Stated that he is currently a board member of the Modern Maturity
Center and for the record, he feels that it is very important that you keep in mind the Modern Maturity Center has
over 20,000 members. When he looks next door at the DoveView Apartments, the complex itself was originally
designed for senior citizens that have changed. Making it compatible between the two facilities is not so at this
point. He would urge all of you to consider that for a public safety point of view. When he looks at the number of
people who are going in and out of the senior center every single day many of these people are much older than
average and have disabilities and some have severe disabilities. So again, I urge you to look at this as far as any
connection between roadways for the application and the Modern Maturity Center.
Mr. Hemmig stated with regards to clarification we are not considering any connection tonight on whether it should
exist or not. That will be a separate application by the Modern Maturity Center should they desire to bring that
forward. Tonight, we are only considering the land use consideration and the rezoning of that property.
Mrs. Joyce Breasure-Herrick – President, Modern Maturity Center - Stated that she would like to encourage
you to consider the wonderful opportunity Dover has to use the facility, the Modern Maturity Center and have
dedicated senior citizen housing which we desperately need in Kent County and specifically in Dover. What a
wonderful environment it would be for someone to be able to come out of the apartment or condominium cross a
little bridge, come into our facility for medical services, physical therapy services, lunch, line dancing, art classes,
and higher education classes. It needs to be 55-plus housing as we desperately need the housing.
Mr. Hemmig closed the public hearing after seeing no one else wishing to speak.
Mr. Hemmig stated that he would like to clarify that the Commission is considering Items #1 thru #17 on the Land
Use Classification Map. Items #18 through #21 apply to the item that was taken off of the agenda this evening.
Under the proposed amendments, we are considering Items #1, 2 and 4 for Land Use Classifications under MI-11-01
application.
Colonel Welsh stated that while not applicable at this time his concern has to do with the senior housing as
DoveView. He does not know the details as to why construction stopped on DoveView. He would assume it has
something to do with finances. He does not know if it had anything to do with demand. While all of us envisioned
having senior housing and hoped that it would be, it certainly has been an eyesore for a couple of years. The
question is do we continue with the eyesore or do we go with someone who will move forward with this project and
develop it as something other than the original intent of senior housing. Did they not foresee a need for senior
housing in the area?
Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Moore stated that the bank has been trying to find a partner/developer to take the
project on as it has been in a lawsuit trying to get control of the property and has not been able to find any partner or
developer to take it on as a full senior development. The bank believes that this is because of the market as it has
dropped significantly for senior housing. They believe to be able to market this property and bring it back into use.
They are going to need to be able to do that with more than just senior apartments given the realities of what has
happened. Their goal is to bring it back into code compliant construction standards and continue the construction.
They need to be able to do that with the diversity of the housing with not just the senior option.

Attachment 4 – Excerpt from DRAFT Minutes of the February 22, 2011 Meeting of the Planning Commission
Colonel Welsh further questioned if there was no chance that the bank may be willing to stay with it to try and find a
developer for senior housing? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Moore stated that the bank does not feel that it is
viable as a senior only project.
Mr. Hemmig questioned if Sun Trust Bank or your firm as representative or the potential developer has done any
actual market surveys to indicate that a rental apartment would be as or more viable than a senior housing
apartment? Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mr. Moore stated that they have met with, talked with, and negotiated with
developers to take it over. They will be bringing a partner in to actually do the construction because they are a bank
and this is not what they do so they have relied on their partners. The name that this comes from, CRM Mid-
Atlantic, actually has the expertise and that is what they are drawing on to make that conclusion which is why he is
here tonight.
Mr. Tolbert asked if their plan is to develop the site for both senior citizens as well as others? Responding to Mr.
Tolbert, Mr. Moore stated that yes they would. As you have heard this from other developers such as the Seskinore
project which was one that started as simply a senior project and struggled in being able to market to others than just
seniors. They came back and said that they could have a more viable project if they could open up to non-seniors.
Clearly this is a good position for senior apartments as they have elevators and the project can be good for seniors to
live there; however, at a 140 plus or minus units, we do not believe that it is viable in this market to be able to bring
it back into and pump the money in that is necessary to redo the buildings.
Mr. Tolbert further stated that the question that comes to mind is that when you develop a site for seniors as well as
others, seniors require additional kinds of amenities in their apartments than people who are under senior citizen age,
would that not be a problem? Responding to Mr. Tolbert, Mr. Moore stated that no in fact, the two buildings that
are there, their strategy will be to follow through on the way that they were being built to accommodate only seniors.
Our project will accommodate seniors and will attract seniors in a large way; we do believe that. However, we do
not believe that at the numbers we are at, the senior housing is viable with just seniors. We need to have the
opportunity to get others to make it financially viable for a developer and reconstruction of the buildings. There is
significant reconstruction to consider in these buildings because they have been open for so long. They have
environmental issues, there are some structural issues and they are evaluating those; so, it is not like they are just
going to come in and start putting siding on these buildings. There is a lot of money that needs to be pumped in to
some degree to go backwards a little before we can go forward to get them into a code compliant component of a
building.
Colonel Welsh stated that this is the thought process that he had as we were going along and we heard the testimony
from the public. Just because it is no longer age restricted does not mean that seniors cannot obviously rent an
apartment there and move in and still have full use of the Modern Maturity Center and the other facilities. It is an
ideal location with the bank right there, Walgreens, and the Modern Maturity Center. He would think this would
attract a great number of seniors. Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Moore stated that the bank and the developers
that they have talked to have the same idea. There will be a large amount of seniors that will want to come here
because of the position of where it is and what it offers. The numbers are just not strong enough to revitalize the
whole project.
Mr. Ambruso questioned what they are voting on separately? Responding to Mr. Ambruso, Mr. Hemmig stated on
the proposed amendment there are three (3) items. The first item will be the Land Use and Zoning Matrix Table to
include the new Recreational and Open Space Zone and the Recreational and Commercial Zone. The second item is
the Land Development Map plan change Items #1 through #17 to change the existing land use classification to what
is shown as proposed. To take them out of Open Space and put them into one of the various residential or
institutional land use classifications. The third item will be the specific land use classification change from
institutional to Residential High Density for what is known as the DoveView apartments. Their zoning will be a
separate issue.
Colonel Welsh moved to forward to City Council approval of MI-11-01 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2011 to
adopt the Land Use Table and the changes associated with it. That we adopt the map that depicts the Land Use
changes (Items #1-16) and that we make a recommendation to change the Land Use classification for DoveView
Apartments (Item #17). This excludes Items #18 through #21 on the Land Development Plan Map changes.
Seconded by Mr. Tolbert and the motion was unanimously carried 7-0 with Mr. Friedman and Mr. Holt absent.

Dover, DE 19903
RE: PLUS review – 2011-01-03; City of Dover Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Dear Ms. Townshend:
Thank you for meeting with State agency planners on January 26, 2011 to discuss the proposed
comprehensive plan amendment for the City of Dover. According to the information received,
you are seeking 2 amendments that relate to the implementation of the City’s Recreational and
Open Space (ROS) zone and two amendments that are accompanied by rezoning applications.
Please note that changes to the plan, other than those suggested in this letter, could result in
additional comments from the State. Additionally, these comments reflect only issues that are
the responsibility of the agencies represented at the meeting. ‘
Office of State Planning Coordination – Contact: David Edgell
The Office of State Planning Coordination would like to note that there are no certification issues
associated with the proposed four amendments to the City of Dover Comprehensive Plan. We
would like to request that the City of Dover consider the agency recommendations found below
when they are evaluating these plan amendments.
The approval procedures are found at the end of this letter. Our office must be informed
regarding the final approval and adoption of these amendments. The format of the final plan
amendment is up to the City, but please be sure to present the information in a way that can be
integrated into your plan and properly tracked. We will always need to be sure that we are
referencing the most current version of your comprehensive plan.
Recommendations: Our office strongly recommends that the City consider these
recommendations from the various State agencies as you review your plan amendment for final
approval.

This office has received the following comments from State agencies:
Department of Transportation – Contact: Bill Brockenbrough 760-2109
DelDOT is not opposed to the subject plan amendment. The staff-initiated amendments appear
to have no significant transportation impacts. While the applicant-initiated amendments will
have no immediate transportation impacts themselves, they will enable developments that will
have such impacts as noted below:
• The proposed applicant-initiated amendment from Institutional (senior apartments) to
Residential High Density (apartments without an age restriction) would potentially
increase the daily trip generation of those apartments by a factor of two and the peak hour
trip generation of those apartment by a factor of four. Consequently, the apartments
would likely meet DelDOT’s volume warrants for a Traffic Impact Study (TIS), as
contained in Section 2.3.1 of DelDOT’s Standards and Regulations for Subdivision
Streets and State Highway Access, i.e. 400 trips per day or 50 trips during the weekday
peak hour.
If the development would generate less than 2,000 trips per day and less than 200 trips
during the weekday peak hour, and the City does not require a TIS, then in accordance
with Section 2.3.2 of the Standards and Regulations, we may permit them to pay the Area
Wide Study Fee in lieu of performing a TIS. The Area Wide Study Fee would be
calculated as $10 per daily trip and would be payable prior to the re-issuance of a Letter
of No Objection. Payment of it would exempt the developer from the need to do a TIS,
but would not exempt them from participation in off-site improvements or the need to do
a Traffic Operational Analysis if one is required in the re-review of their entrance plans.
If the City does not require a TIS and the developer would like to pay the fee in lieu of
doing a TIS, the developer should contact our Subdivision Manager for northern Kent
County, Mr. Julio Seneus, at (302) 760-2145.
If the developer would like to proceed with the TIS, they should contact Mr. Troy Brestel
of our Development Coordination Section to arrange for a scoping meeting. Mr. Brestel
may be reached at (302) 760-2167.
• While DelDOT lacks sufficient information to determine the trip generation of what
might be developed on the property near State College Road, it appears to be large
enough that DelDOT’s volume warrants for a Traffic Impact Study (TIS), as contained in
Section 2.3.1 of the Standards and Regulations, i.e. 400 trips per day or 50 trips during
the weekday peak hour, could be met.
DelDOT anticipates commenting further on both developments when they see specific proposals
through the City’s Development Advisory Committee process.

Regarding tax parcels ED-05-067.00-02-53.00 through -56.00
• The largest parcel in this group abuts Fork Branch and given the ‘High Density’ land-use
change proposed, DNREC is concerned about forest loss and an adequate buffer being
left intact along Fork Branch. There are rare species associated with Fork Branch
including a heron rookery and bald eagle nest upstream. If these parcels are developed,
efforts should be made to avoid forest removal and leave the riparian buffer along Fork
Branch intact to protect species and habitat of concern.
• Recommendations include:
o Maintain the integrity of the wooded area on the parcel in its entirety (recognizing
the City’s 50% protection requirement).
o Limit the extent of development (regardless of zoning classification) to the open
space on the site.
o Employ stormwater best management practices to minimize impacts (erosion and
habitat destruction, as well as non-point source pollution) to the Fork Branch
Natural Area.
Regarding tax parcel ED-05-086.05-01-01.00
• Leaving a buffer which is adequate (at least 100 feet in width) for water quality
protection and wildlife habitat along the St. Jones is recommended.
If the rezonings are approved, DNREC would remind the City of the following when
development occurs:
Tank Management Branch. Please be aware:
• If a release of a Regulated Substance occurs at the proposed project site, compliance of 7
Del.C. Chapter 60, 7 Del.C., Chapter 74 and DE Admin. Code 1351, State of Delaware
Regulations Governing Underground Storage Tank Systems (the UST Regulations) is
required.

development of Brownfields and can provide assistance when investigating and
remediating Brownfield sites. Although SIRB has no specific comments regarding the
proposed comprehensive plan amendment at this time, if any future development
occurs on sites with previous manufacturing, industrial, or agricultural use, SIRB
recommends that a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment be conducted prior to
development, due to the potential for a release of hazardous substances.
If a release or imminent threat of a release of hazardous substances is discovered
during the course of future development (e.g., contaminated water or soil);
construction activities should be discontinued immediately, and
DNREC should be notified at the 24-hour emergency number (800-662-8802). In

• DSHA encourages the City to support the applicant-initiated amendment to rezone the
property, located at Dove View Drive, just north of Delaware Route 8 between Saulsbury
Road and the Modern Maturity Center, from Institutional to Residential High Density.
Currently the property has a foreclosed partially-completed senior apartment that is now a
source of blight. We support this rezoning for the following reasons:
o A rental community at this location will provide households with a fuller range of
incomes close proximity to transit, jobs, services and markets. In turn, these
densities will facilitate ridership of transit, as well as support the local markets
that are within walking distance.
o The development of a rental community would not preclude elderly residents
which was the original plan for this site.
o While large suburban homes have dominated development in Delaware for
several decades, a growing body of research indicates that we are in the midst of a
Página 77

Page 5 of 5
significant market shift. The baby boomers that once drove suburban
development are now aging and are looking to downsize into something more
manageable. The Delaware Population Consortium (DPC) projections for the
next ten years indicate that not only will there be a large amount of suburban
homes placed on the market by baby boomers, but that there will be a decline in
households in age ranges that typically seek large homes. These same DPC
projections show growth in the younger age ranges most likely at stages in their
life and income to support apartments, condominiums and entry level homes.
The combination of excess suburb housing supply currently on the market,
additional supply being added by aging baby boomers, along with a changing
market indicate that it is critical that communities proactively provide a variety of
housing options to meet the needs of their residents.
• DSHA encourages the City to support the applicant-initiated amendment to rezone the
property, located north of College Road, just east of the railroad tracks from Industrial to
Residential High Density. Our understanding is that the lack of road access, except
through Mishoe Towers, precludes industrial use. For this reason and the reasons stated
for the Dove View Drive rezoning request, we support this amendment.

Report to City Council– March 14, 2011
Page 2
This rezoning application consists of one parcel of land, of approximately 6.735 acres, owned by
CRM Mid-Atlantic, LLC. The property is currently zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone), and
subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is RG-5 (General
Residence Zone for Mid-Rise Apartments). The subject area is located north of Forrest Avenue
(Delaware Route 8) and west of Saulsbury Road. Tax Parcel: ED-05-076.07-01-30.00-000.
The rezoning proposal is made in conjunction with a request to amend the 2008 Comprehensive
Plan, Map 12-1 Land Development Plan, to change the subject parcel from Institutional land use
classification to Residential High Density land use classification. Analysis of this request is in
the report for file MI-11-01 – 2011 Comprehensive Plan Amendments.
Existing Property:
The subject parcel was previously approved as DoveView Apartments, a Planned Neighborhood
Design – Senior Citizen Housing Option. Under the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance in
Article 3 §24 for the Planned Neighborhood Design Option, a property zoned IO (Institutional
and Office Zone) is permitted to be considered for development with the PND: Senior Citizen
Housing Option through the Conditional Use review process. The applications associated with
this project include:
C-03-08 – Approved by Planning Commission in February 2004 as FountainView PND –
Senior Citizen Housing Option
C-06-02 – Approved by Planning Commission in August 2006 as DoveView PND –
Senior Citizen Housing Option. The Planning Commission granted a one-year extension
in August 2007.
The DoveView PND – Senior Citizen Housing Option plan included 192 dwelling units in four
four-story apartment buildings. The plan as approved would include 246 parking spaces and an
overall density of 28.52 dwelling units per acre.
The City issued building permits for the four buildings that make up DoveView in late 2007 and
early 2008. Construction began on two buildings and ultimately ceased. The property went into
foreclosure and is now owned by CRM Mid-Atlantic, LLC (Sun Trust Bank). Because
construction ceased for more than one year, the site development plan associated with DoveView
has expired (Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.491(a)). Site development plan approval is
required prior to initiation of any construction activity on the site, regardless of the outcome of
the rezoning application.
The subject property is located within the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) due to its location
along Delaware Route 8 and Saulsbury Road. Any development of the site shall comply with the
requirements of this zone.
Surrounding Land Uses:
There are a variety zoning classifications and land uses surrounding the subject property.
Immediately south of the subject site, between the subject property and Forrest Avenue, are two
properties that are zoned C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone); one is vacant, and the other
is TD Bank. Other adjacent properties to the east between the subject site and Saulsbury Road
are zoned C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) as well. Included among these is the
Walgreens Drug Store located at the corner of Forrest Avenue and Saulsbury Road.

Report to City Council– March 14, 2011
Page 3
The property located to the north of the proposed site is zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone)
and is the location of the Academy of Dover (school). Immediately west of the site is the Modern
Maturity Center, which is zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone).
Comprehensive Plan:
In the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1 as amended, dated
11/23/2009) recommends that this property be used for Institutional Uses. As previously stated,
the rezoning request is associated with a request to amend the 2008 Comprehensive Plan to
reflect the land use on Map 12-1 as Residential High Density. The requested zone is consistent
with the requested land use classification, but not with the existing land use classification.
The Land Development Plan (Chapter 12) of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan states the following
with regard to high density residential development:
The Comprehensive Land Development Plan recommends that high density
residential be dispersed throughout the City along arterial roadways in close
proximity to other high-density residential uses, schools, neighborhood commercial
areas, transit service, and other compatible non-residential land use areas. High
density residential development is also appropriate in some areas of the downtown,
most of which are shown as mixed use on the Land Development Plan.
The subject site is located off Saulsbury Road and Delaware Route 8, both of which are
identified as Urban Minor Arterials in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. It is also within proximity
(walking distance) to schools (Booker T. Washington Elementary School, William Henry Middle
School, and the Academy of Dover), commercial areas (including the TD Bank and Walgreens
Drug Store on adjacent parcels and the Gateway West Shopping Center to the south, across
Forrest Avenue), transit service, and other services (including medical offices).
Request for RG-5 (General Residence Zone for Mid-Rise Apartments)
Within the RG-5 Zone, the following uses are permitted: one-family detached dwellings; mid-
rise apartments; public buildings, structures and uses; raising of field and garden crops,
vineyards and orchards, and nurseries. See Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §5 and referenced
sections.
According to Article 12 of the Zoning Ordinance, the definition of mid-rise apartments is as
follows:
Mid-rise apartment: Multiple dwellings where individual dwelling units share a
common outside access, and elevators serve each floor. The dwelling units share a
common lot area, which is the sum of the required lot areas of all dwelling units
within the building.
The following is a summary of the bulk standards, as specified in Article 4, Section 4.6. The
Zoning Ordinance defines Multiple Dwellings as “A building, or portion thereof, containing
more than two dwelling units.”

Recommendation of the Planning Staff and Planning Commission:
This request is to rezone land from IO (Institutional and Office), subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor
Overlay Zone) to RG-5 (General Residence Zone for Mid-Rise Apartments), subject to the COZ-
1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). This request is made in conjunction with a request to amend the
2008 Comprehensive Plan, Map 12-1 Land Development Plan, as it relates to this property. The
approval of this rezoning request is contingent upon the approval of the associated amendment to
the 2008 Comprehensive Plan.
As stated in the report for MI-11-01 – 2011 Comprehensive Plan Amendments, staff supports the
land use classification change from Institutional to Residential High Density, and the associated
rezoning of the subject property from IO (Institutional and Office) to RG-5 (General Residence
Página 83
Z-11-03 Lands of CRM Mid-Atlantic, LLC (DoveView Apartments)
Report to City Council– March 14, 2011
Page 5
Zone for Mid-Rise Apartments). Staff believes that the rezoning and amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan are consistent with the policies stated in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan
regarding location of high density residential uses. As previously stated, the subject property is
within proximity to a variety of goods and services, including transit service, schools, places of
employment, commercial uses, and other supporting services. Additionally, one of the challenges
typically encountered when considering high density residential development is the resistance
from residential neighbors living in lower density residential developments. This location is not
directly adjacent to other, lower density residential development that would generate these types
of conflicts.
All Staff recommendations were made prior to the public hearing before the Planning
Commission. Following a public hearing on February 22, 2011, where several members of the
public spoke in opposition of the rezoning request, the Planning Commission voted to
recommend in favor of the proposed amendments to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan with six
members voting in favor and one member voting against the request.

Excerpt from DRAFT Minutes of the February 22, 2011 Planning Commission Meeting
(Minutes scheduled for adoption on March 21, 2011)
Z-11-03 DoveView Apartments at 101-405 DoveView Drive – Public Hearing and Review for
Recommendation to City Council on a rezoning application consists of one parcel of land totaling
of 6.735 acres ±. The property is zoned IO (Institutional/Office Zone) and subject to the COZ-1
(Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is RG-5 (General Residence Zone for Mid-rise
Apartments) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The property is located on the
north side of Forrest Avenue (Route 8) just west of the Saulsbury Road intersection. The owner of
record is CRM Mid-Atlantic, LLC and SunTrust Bank. Property Addresses: 101-405 DoveView
Drive. Tax Parcel: ED05-076.07-01-30.00-000. Council District 1. Ordinance #2011-05.
Representatives: Mr. Gregg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, Inc.
Mrs. Townshend stated that this application is similar to the previous application that you just saw in terms of
surrounding Land Uses. There are other properties adjacent to this property that are zoned C-2A (Limited Central
Commercial), one is vacant, the other is TD Bank, Walgreens Pharmacy, and another parcel that is zoned C-2A as
well. To the north of this site is property that is zoned Institutional and Office and is the location of The Academy
of Dover which is a charter school. Immediately west of the site is the Modern Maturity Center where you heard
people associated with the Modern Maturity Center speaking. In terms of the Comprehensive Plan in order for this
to go through, it is dependent upon that plan change. There is language in the Comprehensive Plan that addresses
High Density. We have included the bulk standards for what RG-5 would include. She would state for the record
that the Site Development Plan associated with DoveView has expired and those approvals were specifically for
senior housing; therefore, the Site Plan will have to come back for consideration at that time.
Mr. Hemmig stated for clarification if the Land Use Classification change fails to pass City Council, then this
rezoning would become null and void. Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mrs. Townshend stated that City Council will
be made aware that they go together and if they approve one the other will also need to be approved unless they go
back and reconsider the first one.
Mr. Moore stated for clarification that he is aware that there was a tax bill that was due on this parcel of land that
had not been paid by the developer. The bank was advised by its legal counsel that upon the deed being recorded,
they would pay the bill. That bill has now been paid.
Colonel Welsh stated that to clarify a point for those who testified previously from the public, this is only a
recommendation for a rezoning application. For those who had concerns regarding connectivity with the Modern
Maturity Center, that would not be considered until they come forward with a Site Plan for the apartments.
Mr. Moore stated that they will reach out to the Modern Maturity Center with them separately. Now we have the
chance to make that connection before we file a plan before the Commission so that we can talk to them about what
we plan to do.
Mr. Hemmig opened a public hearing.
Mr. Leonard Iacono – Stated that he would like to make a comment about the whole aspect of this project. He
challenges the bank to produce a market study that states that the need for senior housing is not required. He also
suggests, as a major developer in Dover and one of the largest apartment owners here, no one has ever contacted
him regarding the ability of taking the project over and developing a senior housing project. If the bank contacted
someone, he has no idea who they contacted. He still does not understand the connection between the fact that the
City already changed it from a condominium project to a senior housing project and is now changing it back. He
just does not understand the whole flow.
Responding to Mr. Iacono, Mrs. Townshend stated that it has always been senior housing. Changing it to a
condominium project is a form of ownership not a unit type. Essentially, what we have seen from the beginning has
always been apartments as a unit type. Initially, the intent in that they would be condominiums for sale and then it
Página 85
Z-11-03 Lands of CRM Mid-Atlantic, LLC (DoveView Apartments)
Report to City Council– March 14, 2011
Page 7
changed to apartments; however, from a zoning standpoint there is no difference. The Zoning Ordinance, in terms
of the housing style, specifically states multi-family; it does not state multi-family condominium or multi-family
rental.
Mr. Iacono stated that it would be his error because he was under the impression that it started off initially as a
condominium project and then went back to the City to request that it be a rental property and specifically a senior
housing project. Responding to Mr. Iacono, Mrs. Townshend stated that it was “senior” from the beginning and was
initially intended to be condominiums. They asked if they needed approval; however, Staff stated that approval was
for senior housing and not necessarily the ownership or rental aspect of it.
Mr. Iacono stated that if the bank is still interested in considering a senior housing aspect; he would be interested.
Mrs. Carolyn Fredericks – Stated that her concern is that she does not know what the timeframe is for the Site
Plan and when it would come back; however, the condition of her receiving a Certificate of Occupancy for her
building was to build that connection. She is going to be ready to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy by the first of
April because their building is almost completed. She is unsure how long the process would take before they would
come back with their Site Plan.
Responding to Mrs. Fredericks, Mrs. Townshend stated that in terms of the Modern Maturity Center at this point, it
is part of their Site Plan. They have received the request from the Modern Maturity Center to come to the Planning
Commission which will happen next month with their request to remove that interconnection cross access.
Colonel Welsh stated that to throw out an opinion he stated that they may want to think about this for awhile
because he really thinks that it would be mutually beneficial for both of you to have that interconnectivity both for
bringing new people into the Modern Maturity Center and having that use. Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mrs.
Fredericks stated that they would discuss this issue next month as it is a major safety issue.
Mr. Nichols questioned when DoveView was proposed to be built, wasn’t interconnectivity there at one time and
they wanted to bring the road across the ditch over to that point and they abandoned the road idea; however, there
would still be a small path across there to get back to the Modern Maturity Center? Responding to Mr. Nichols,
Mrs. Townshend stated that there were two things. One, there was a small pedestrian golf cart type access between
the two properties. There was also, at that point, even though there was not anything on the Modern Maturity side
there was the requirement to provide a cross access easement on the DoveView side; however, they were not
required to build it until something happened at the Modern Maturity Center. When Modern Maturity Center came
through for their expansion that is currently underway, the location where the interconnection was put at DoveView
was something that caused them (Modern Maturity Center) concern. It was at their request that the interconnection
in terms of the location on their property was moved further to the front of the property. When DoveView comes in
or the vacant parcel or anything adjacent we will have to determine how that connects with the Modern Maturity
piece if it stays.
Mr. Nichols further stated that this area was originally shifted he believes to the back. Responding to Mr. Nichols,
Mrs. Townshend stated yes and now has been shifted to the front because of concerns of traffic going through the
parking lot and the ability of going around the front of the building.
Mr. Hemmig questioned that the Modern Maturity Center’s Certificate of Occupancy is tied to completion of the
interconnectivity, has that been built? Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mrs. Fredericks stated that they have not built it
yet and our building is almost completed. When they finish with their building, they cannot obtain a Certificate of
Occupancy until that interconnectivity has been completed.
Mr. Hemmig further stated for clarification, this zoning is taking the property from I/O to RG-5. Under the I/O we
were able to do a Conditional Use for senior housing. Under the RG-5 can it still be senior housing? Responding to
Mr. Hemmig, Mrs. Townshend stated that they could voluntarily age restrict it under RG-5 or they could come back
with another senior citizen PND under the RG-5. RG-5 does not preclude it from being senior housing; it just does
not require it. Under the I/O, the residential uses aside from the senior citizen PND are prohibited.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Meeting was held on February 23, 2011 at
5:00 p.m. with Chairwoman Williams presiding. Members present were Mrs. Russell (arrived at
5:07 p.m.) , Mr. Bonar, Mr. Davis, and Mr. Harmon (arrived at 5:24 p.m.) . Mr. Ruane was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Davis moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously
carried.
Request for Waiver of Land Subdivision Regulations - Reduction of Street Right-of-Way
Width - Dover High School Project (South Side of Forrest Avenue)
Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed a street waiver request for the reduction
of street right-of-way from sixty (60) feet to fifty (50) feet (Land Subdivision Regulations,
Article VI.A.13) for construction of the new Dover High School. She advised members that the
project is located on four (4) parcels of land totaling 106.5222+/- acres and is zoned R-10
(One Family Residence Zone) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone).
Mrs. Melson-Williams noted that the subject property is located on the south side of Forrest Avenue
(DE Route 8) approximately 1,500 feet west of Mifflin Road and the owner of record is
Capital School District. She noted that the Conditional Use and Site Development Master Plan are
for the construction and use of a three (3) story 315,000 S.F. school with associated parking,
roadways, stormwater management, landscaping, sports fields, stadium, and other site improvements.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the overall Site Development Master Plan for the New Dover High
School includes the layout of the proposed buildings, parking lots, sports fields, and the associated
transportation network to access the site and internal circulation of the site.
Mrs. Melson-Williams advised members that during the applicant’s presentation to the
Planning Commission at their December 20, 2010 meeting, members were provided information on
ongoing discussions regarding shared infrastructure improvements between the Capital School
District and the adjoining developer (Leander Lakes, LLC) for the Leander Lakes Apartments project
(a development to be located to the west of the school property). Exhibits were reviewed showing
proposals for the right-of-way, construction of the western entrance access road, and the connection
to Tribbitt Street, which will serve both the school and the residential project. She noted that
negotiations on the infrastructure are continuing. Mrs. Melson-Williams reviewed information
regarding the Transportation and Circulation Network for the new Dover High School project, which
is associated with consideration of the waiver request for a reduction in street right-of-way width.
Mrs. Melson-Williams advised members that the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed street
waiver request as part of its review of the Conditional Use/Site Development Master Plan for the
new Dover High School. The Planning Commission granted conditional approval to the
Conditional Use/Site Development Master Plan and to a series of waivers and considerations,
including the reduction of the required street right-of-way width from sixty (60) feet to fifty (50) feet
for portions of the proposed streets in the southwest area of the property, including the
interconnection to Tribbitt Street. She indicated that, as part of the motion for conditional approval,
the Planning Commission also adopted comments and recommendations from the
Development Advisory Committee (DAC) Report. It was noted that comments and
recommendations from multiple departments or agencies may be associated with the development
of streets.

MEETING OF FEBRUARY 23, 2011 PAGE 2
In response to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the school is being designed to
accommodate an overall count of 1,800 students.
Referring to the proposed ingress and egress for this property, Mr. Bonar expressed his desire for a
roadway width of no less than 28 feet in order for a 110 foot aerial apparatus to access the high
school to protect it against fire. In addition, he strongly urged signalization at both proposed
intersections at the new high school along Forrest Avenue/Route 8.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the reduction in the street right-of-way
width would not create a reduction in the paved width of the street.
Several members questioned why the applicant or engineers were not in attendance to explain the
need for the waiver and address concerns of members. Responding, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated
that the engineers were unable to attend since they were making a presentation at the
Planning Commission Quarterly Workshop, which was running concurrently with the
Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting.
Mr. Davis relayed concern with any reduction due to potential bicycle and pedestrian traffic in the
area. In addition, he stated that if there is a connector road between Forrest Avenue and
Hazletteville Road, Amish horses and buggies will also be using the roadway.
Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that if a regional connector between Rt. 8 and Hazletteville Road
is constructed in the future, the right-of-way and segment of road involved would probably be
enlarged. However, she indicated that the waiver is being requested at this time due to the proposed
time frame for construction of the school, which has a scheduled opening date of 2014.
Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison for the
Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), reminded members that there was previous
discussion regarding vehicle connectivity from the Village of Westover. Responding,
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that there is a street stub from Westover to its north property line with
a terminus of Worchester Drive. She indicated this is planned for a pedestrian/bicycle connection
to the site but will not convey vehicular traffic.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Melson-Williams confirmed that the proposed opening for the
new high school is in 2014; however, it is anticipated that the first phases of major utility work will
begin during the summer of 2011.
Mr. Davis moved to recommend that this request be referred back to the Planning Commission for
further study and clarification of the following: actual reasons for narrowing the roadway to
fifty (50) feet, a deeper look into pedestrian and bicycle traffic and ingress and egress to the school,
and serious consideration of a roadway through the farmland preservation property of Papen Farms
to Hazletteville Road. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bonar.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 23, 2011 PAGE 3
In regards to the roadway through the farmland preservation property to Hazletteville Road,
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members
that she attended a meeting with DelDOT on February 22, 2011 and was assured that this road would
not be completed in the near future. She stated that DelDOT has not added any new projects to the
Capital Transportation Program due to funding issues and that DelDOT was very clear that the City
should not anticipate this project coming to fruition anytime soon.
In light of this information, Mrs. Williams suggested that the school district meet with DelDOT to
develop a good, practical plan for an interconnection roadway to Hazletteville Road and that the
motion be amended accordingly. There were no objections from the maker or seconder of the
motion.
The motion recommending that this request be referred back to the Planning Commission for
further study and clarification of the following: actual reasons for narrowing the roadway to
50 feet, a deeper look into pedestrian and bicycle traffic and ingress and egress to the school,
and serious consideration of developing a good, practical plan for a roadway to Hazletteville
Road was carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Discussion - Crossover Bridge for Pedestrian at the New Dover High School
At the request of Mr. Davis, members were provided detailed information regarding a 40-foot
pedestrian bridge for possible construction at the new Dover High School site. Under the premise
that there will be signalization at both the eastern and western ends of the new Dover High School
site, Mr. Davis noted that a development is located across Route 8 and that, although an additional
traffic signal could be installed at Cranberry Run, as an alternative, consideration could be given to
an overhead walkway. He advised members that a similar bridge, which crossed over five (5) lanes
of traffic, was built in a town in Pennsylvania approximately four (4) to five (5) years ago at a cost
of $1.3M. Although he acknowledged that funding must be considered regarding this matter, he
suggested that members consider the safety and traffic issues involved.
In regards to the costs, Mr. Bonar advised members that the economic impact of one (1) fatal
accident is approximately $900,000. It was his opinion that the construction of pedestrian overpasses
should be considered for several major roadways.
Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison for the
Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), noted that the example provided appears to be
located in a more urban setting than the proposed new Dover High School. He advised members that
a pedestrian overpass has been placed across College Avenue in Newark; however, getting
individuals to use the structure has been problematic. Mr. Laing noted that a wall was constructed
at the College Avenue bridge to prevent pedestrians from crossing by other means. He questioned
where a crossover bridge could be located if this option was chosen for the new school. In addition,
Mr. Laing advised members that the minimum clearance required for a pedestrian bridge is 17’6”
in height. For each foot in height, in order to be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), he indicated that either ramps or an elevator would be required and stated that there is no
area available to accommodate the length of ramp needed.
Página 94
SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 23, 2011 PAGE 4
Mr. Davis noted that the crossover in Pennsylvania is located in a rural setting, not urban, with
sidewalks on the north side. He stated that the pedestrian ramp curls around rather than extending
in a linear fashion. Responding, Mr. Laing stated that, because of the degree of angle that would be
required, regardless of the manner in which the ramp would be constructed, the area needed for the
ramp would be substantial. As an alternative, he stated an elevator could be installed; however, this
would create issues with maintenance, security, safety, etc. In addition, he noted that a pedestrian
bridge would require maintenance to keep it free of trash, debris, and snow.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Laing stated that his understanding was that “cork-screw” ramps
are not ADA compliant.
Mr. Davis questioned how the children who live on the north side of Forrest Avenue/Route 8 will
cross the street if the overpass is not built and who would be responsible for their safety.
Mr. Bonar suggested that the Capital School District be requested to make a presentation to address
some of these concerns.
Mrs. Townshend advised members that all of the concerns relayed by members have been discussed
before the Planning Commission. She noted that the Planning Commission required that the
School District connect into Tribbitt Street, at the rear of Cannon Mill, which connects to the
Village of Westover, to provide relief for the approximately 900 dwelling units.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Townshend stated that the design of the street network in the
Village of Cannon Mill is not conducive to cut-through traffic. Disagreeing, Mr. Bonar noted an
increase in vehicular traffic in Woodcrest as a result of students attending Dover High School.
After much discussion, it was the consensus of members that staff should invite the Capital School
District to attend the next Committee meeting to discuss these issues further.
Briefing on Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Projects - Gary Laing
Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison for the
Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), provided a briefing on DelDOT projects, as
follows:
West Dover Connector
Mr. Laing reminded members that DelDOT held a workshop regarding the West Dover Connector
in September 2010, at which time DelDOT presented the preferred alternative for the location of the
connector. He noted that the workshop was well attended. Mr. Laing stated that Phase 1 of the
archeology research, which consists of researching historic properties in the area of the connector,
will begin soon and that Phase 2 field work should follow in the Spring of 2011. He stated that
DelDOT is working on preparing environmental assessments, as directed by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHA) and the assessment will be reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office,
and FHA. He indicated that survey plans are being compiled and preliminary plans should be

completed later in the year, semi-final construction and right-of-way plans are targeted to be
completed in approximately one (1) year, and the final right-of-way will be determined in July 2012,
followed by the real estate acquisition process. As reflected in the Community Transportation Plan,
Mr. Laing stated that construction is scheduled for 2014 through 2016.
Responding to Mr. Mark Brata, representing Eden Hill Commercial, Mr. Laing stated that no
specific date or further details were provided by the project manager regarding preliminary plans for
the project.
South Governors Avenue Improvements
Mr. Laing reported that the South Governors Avenue Improvements have been substantially
completed, with the exception of some “punch list” items to be completed or repaired by the
contractor. He anticipated that these items will be addressed once the weather permits.
Water Street Railroad Crossover
Mr. Laing advised members that there is no new information to report on the Water Street Railroad
Crossover, explaining that this is a long-term project with a substantial amount of preliminary work
required.
Wyoming Mill Road Project
Mr. Laing advised members that a construction contract was awarded to Diamond Materials, LLC
for the Wyoming Mill Road Project. He stated that advanced utility work is underway and
construction is scheduled to begin in the Spring of 2011, with a completion date anticipated in the
fall.
Transit Center
Mr. Laing stated that a meeting was held with potential bidders for construction of the
Transit Center. Certain submissions must be reviewed by DelDOT and, once completed, DelDOT
will announce the awarding of the contract and work will begin on Phase 2 of the project.
Briefing on Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Projects -
Juanita Wieczoreck
Ms. Juanita Wieczoreck, Executive Director of the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO), stated that the most significant project for the MPO is the Dover Transit Center
Neighborhood Plan. She stated that MPO has been making presentations in an effort to obtain
support from various organizations. It was noted that a presentation of the Dover Transit Center
Neighborhood Plan and Design Book was provided to City Council during their Regular Meeting
of February 14, 2011.
Referring to the executive summary of the Dover Transit Center Neighborhood Plan and Design
Book, Ms. Wieczoreck noted that the purpose of the Plan and Design guidelines is to provide the
City of Dover with a design and planning strategy to guide development around the new Transit
Center site and provide a very specific understanding of what the City could realize for this area.

MEETING OF FEBRUARY 23, 2011 PAGE 6
Ms. Wieczoreck stated that the MPO is beginning to develop their annual work program and
requested ideas from the City.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Ms. Wieczoreck stated that the MPO has been working on a regional bike
plan and anticipates a presentation to the Committee once it has been finalized. She indicated that
Mr. Michael Albert, Planner II, represents the City of Dover on this committee.
Mr. Ruane requested that Mr. Albert make a presentation to the Committee regarding the proposed
Bike Plan to obtain recommendations from members.
Proposed Ordinance #2011-06 Amending Chapter 46 - Fire Prevention and Protection - Open
Burning
Mr. David Truax, Fire Marshal, reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2011-06, and advised members that
the Ordinance would enhance the safety of commercial and recreational barbecuing and control and
maintain the proper use of open burning. He explained that the proposed amendment would expand
the present open burning ordinance to better define open burning and barbecuing; more clearly define
where and how open burning and barbecuing are permitted; and better address the use of outdoor
portable fireplaces. Mr. Truax stated that the draft ordinance depicts additions in blue text and
deletions in red strike-outs and advised members that the proposed ordinance has been reviewed by
the Deputy City Solicitor.
Mrs. Williams read into the record a statement in support of the ordinance provided by
Ms. Rita Kropiewnicki (Attachment #1).
Mr. Bonar stated his experience with Wesley College students who have had open pit fires burn late
into the evening and early morning.
Mr. Bonar moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2011-06 (Attachment #2),
seconded by Mr. Davis and unanimously carried.
Mr. Bonar moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Harmon and unanimously carried.

Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Meeting
February 23, 2011
Request to Enter Statement Into the Record:
On February 23, 2011, the Clerk’s Office received a call from
Ms. Rita Kropiewnicki, 155 Blue Beach Drive, who stated she was unable
to attend the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting but
requested that it be entered into the record that she favors Proposed
Ordinance #2011-06. Ms. Kropiewnicki explained that, during the Summer
of 2010, her home became filled with the odor of smoke, which she
discovered was emanating from a large, open pit fire at a nearby residence.
She noted that her doors and windows were closed and her air conditioning
was running at the time. She was particularly concerned because her
granddaughter, who has breathing problems, was visiting.
Ms. Kropiewnicki stated that the fire burned for many hours, and at 12:00
a.m. she summoned the police, who came to her residence. However, they
informed her that there was nothing that could be done because the City
had no ordinance to regulate hours when open burning would be permitted.
She stated that the fire continued to burn until approximately 3:00 a.m.
Ms. Kropiewnicki voiced her concerns regarding this incident to
Councilman Ruane, who stated he would inquire further into this matter.
She expressed her gratitude to Mr. Ruane for initiating this Code
amendment and reiterated that she strongly favors Ordinance #2011-06
because she feels unregulated open burning presents a hazard to City
residents.

UTILITY COMMITTEE
The Utility Committee Meeting was held on February 28, 2011 at 5:01 p.m. with Chairman Ruane
presiding. Members present were Mr. Bonar, Mr. McGiffin, and Major Kosior. Mr. Snaman was
absent. Council President Hogan and Mayor Carey (departed at 5:28 p.m. and returned at 5:41 p.m.) were
also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved, as presented.
Yard Waste Collection Program
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that staff developed the following goals in
formulating a Yard Waste Collection Program: 1) compliance with the Delaware Solid Waste
Authority (DSWA) ban on yard waste; 2) avoid an increase in costs to the customers; and 3) the
development of public education to lessen or eliminate yard waste.
Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, reviewed the Yard Waste
Separation Plan. He reminded members that on January 1, 2011, DSWA implemented a ban on yard
waste at the Sandtown landfill and that, beginning July 1, 2011, the DSWA will start enforcing this
ban. He noted that the ban was a condition of approval from the Department of Natural Resources
and Environmental Control (DNREC) to continue to operate the landfill and that all waste haulers
will be required to separate yard waste from the municipal solid waste stream.
In reviewing the New Rules, Mr. Koenig referred to Page 2 of the Yard Waste Separation Plan and
advised members that a revision was made to the second sentence in Item #2, which should read
“No metal containers will be allowed.” He explained that metal containers can be easily damaged.
In addition, he stated that members of Council may receive complaints from residents regarding
Item #5, which modifies the current collection schedule for bulk items.
Noting that bulk trash will be picked up every other week, Mr. McGiffin questioned if residents will
be permitted to place large items, such as refrigerators, out for pick-up for an extended period of
time. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that this could create potential concerns for property
maintenance staff. Mr. DePrima noted that, although the current bulk pick-up schedule provides
for a weekly pick-up, residents are not permitted to place bulk items out until the day of the
scheduled pick-up. However, he noted that many residents do not adhere to this requirement.
In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Koenig indicated that education sessions will be provided for the
public, office and field staff, and homeowners associations.
Responding to Mr. McGiffin, Mr. Koenig estimated that a stick would be considered less than 2" in
diameter, limbs are from 2" to 6", branches are 6" and above.
Although he supported recycling and maintaining a cleaner environment, Mr. Bonar relayed his
concerns with legislators enacting laws that affect municipal-level operations without prior

Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima assured members that the program will be advertised locally
and billing inserts will be distributed to customers to inform them of the change.
Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend endorsement of the Yard Waste Separation Plan, as
presented by staff, seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried.
Generation Revenue Forecast
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, introduced Mr. Holt Bradshaw, Pace Global, who reviewed
a Presentation of Generation Revenue Forecast. He explained that the forecast includes a “real”
analysis that should be kept updated. Mr. Bradshaw advised members that there is a good deal of
value in the assets and that they should be maintained and improved upon in order to keep cash flow.
It is the opinion of Pace Global that there is great potential for revenue.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Vince Scire, Plant Manager, stated that, as an example of continued
maintenance, air heater work for Unit #3 was included in the CIP, which is necessary if Unit #3 is
expected to run for 15-20 years. With regards to unanticipated expenses, he stated that
approximately six (6) projects have been added to the plan as a result of the Pace life extension
analysis. Mr. Bradshaw stated that a $100,000 capital contingency charge for each unit was built in
to allow for capital “surprises.”
With regards to materials and equipment used in the plants, Mr. Scire stated that replacement parts
are sometimes extremely expensive; therefore, it can be beneficial to re-evaluate the situation and
consider redesign.
In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. DePrima reminded members that a plant evaluation was conducted
a few years ago and that the analysis constitutes another evaluation. He noted that, in previous
evaluations, it was assumed that the plants had a five (5) year life expectancy; however, in the new
evaluations a 15-year life span is expected. In regards to the $100,000 contingency charge, he noted
that the City has nearly $10M in its depreciation fund, which could be a resource for repairs if
necessary. He assured members that thresholds are established to determine if repairs should be
made or the equipment should be abandoned.
Mr. Ruane noted that the 2030 Energy Committee continues to discuss opportunities to attract
alternative energy suppliers, such as encouraging a combined-cycle gas power plant at the Garrison
Tract and buying purchased power energy agreements from this source. He questioned how this
would correlate to the maintenance and continuation of the physical plant if energy needs can be
addressed through such purchased power agreements and whether this possibility was factored into
the analysis.
Responding, Mr. Holt stated that the capacity market has been willing to pay for units that are
capable, available, reliable, and able to run when prices are very high or when there are reliability
issues on the grid. He noted that, to date, the market has been willing to pay for this from the City
and other suppliers.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 3
Mr. Bonar questioned if theCity would be at a financial disadvantage if a new combined cycle unit
or more modern unit becomes available and can be more readily put on line. Responding,
Mr. DePrima stated that going forward with a plant at the Garrison Tract is not mutually exclusive
of the idea of keeping the existing power plant running.
Mr. Bonar suggested that thought be given to placing a combined cycle unit at the Garrison Tract
before a competitor moves forward with such a concept. Responding, Mr. DePrima stated that,
based on the Committee’s recommendation, the City contracted with Macquarie Energy, LLC for
two (2) years and that they are performing due diligence on making applications to PJM and other
regulatory bodies to move forward on that plant.
Mr. Francis Hodsell, Pace Global, advised members that the capacity market is a three (3) year
forward market. He noted that it is the opinion of Pace that the City’s assets are valuable within the
structure of the capacity market and it is clear that this structure will be in place for a long period of
time. Mr. Hodsell noted that if additional capacity enters the market, such as the Macquarie West
Deptford Plant, this would not be seen as a risk to these assets and they could continue to generate
significant cash flow for the City.
Mr. Ruane stated he anticipated that West Deptford would be brought forward to the Committee next
month. Responding, Mr. Hodsell stated that he will be working with City staff on a time frame for
the analysis.
Due to time constraints, Mr. Ruane requested that the remainder of the agenda items: 1) Power Plant
FY 2012 Capital Investment Plan (CIP) Review; 2) 2012-2016 Utility Capital Investment Plan (CIP);
and 3) PACE/NAES Monthly Report (December) be deferred until the next meeting.
Mr. McGiffin moved to defer the remainder of the agenda items until the next meeting,
seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried.
By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 5:51 p.m.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on February 28, 2011 at
6:00 p.m. with Mr. Salters presiding in the absence of Chairman Leary. Members present were
Mr. McGiffin, Dr. Jones, and Mr. Shevock. Members of Council present were Council President
Hogan, Mr. Bonar, Mr. Ruane, and Mrs. Russell. Mayor Carey was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. McGiffin moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously
carried.
Review and Recommendation - Filling of Critical Positions
During their meeting of February 23, 2009, members recommended approval of a Hiring Freeze for
Fiscal Year 2008-2009, but to allow the hiring of critical positions through the review and approval
of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee and City Council. It was suggested that
there be a “standing” agenda item to consider the filling of critical positions and, if there were no
positions to consider, the item could be removed.
Mr. Salters noted that there were no critical positions to be considered; therefore, no further action
was required.
Latest Estimate (LE) for Fiscal Year 2011 Budget
Mrs. Teresa Tieman, Senior City Administrator, advised members that the Latest Estimate was
prepared prior to the February 17, 2011 meeting of the Joint Legislative, Finance, and Administration
and Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee. Therefore, she felt that it would not be
appropriate to include the committee recommendations regarding police staffing and programs until
acted on by Council during the Regular Council Meeting on February 28, 2011.
Mrs. Tieman informed members that the Joint Legislative, Finance, and Administration and Safety
Advisory and Transportation Committee recommended that two additional officers be sent to the
spring police academy class, and that a one-time $40,000 Police Chief’s Discretionary Fund be
established, noting that these expenses can be covered by savings in this year’s budget, as reflected in
the Latest Estimate. She stated that no further adjustment would be necessary in the proposed police
salary budget because the police academy class has been rescheduled for mid-April. Mrs. Tieman
explained that, since the cost of four officers in a mid-April class is about the same as the budget for
two officers in a February class, which was originally approved by City Council, no further
adjustments will be needed to the Latest Estimate.
Mrs. Tieman stated that, if the City Council approves the recommendation of the Joint Legislative,
Finance, and Administration and Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee during the Regular
Council Meeting on February 28, 2011, the Latest Estimate will be amended before the First Reading
of the budget ordinances.
Mrs. Tieman reviewed a Presentation - Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Latest Estimate, February 2011
(Attachment #1) and noted that this presentation is to be viewed in conjunction with the Latest
Estimate, Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Budget. Mrs. Tieman reminded members that the latest estimate
factors in known changes since the budget was approved.

COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 2
Referring to Page 5 of the Presentation, Mrs. Tieman informed members that the Transfer Tax
revenue is projected at $750,000, which increases the total to approximately $1.4M. She stated that
the $750,000 is due to recent large receipts, which were identified in the December Quarterly
Revenue Report, and several others received since that time.
Mrs. Tieman stated that Trash Fees revenues have decreased $194,511, and explained that some of
this decrease was expected because several out-of-City customers canceled trash service following
the last fee increase; however, a reduction in expenses is also reflected.
Responding to Mr. Salters, Mrs. Tieman explained that the Parks and Recreation Silver Lake
Watershed Coordinator is employed by the State of Delaware; however, the $51,000 grant pays for
the City’s portion of the expense.
In response to Mr. McGiffin, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, stated that the Tax Assessor
legal expenses for tax appeals in the amount $88,000 resulted from having a tax attorney present
during Tax Appeals and write new ordinances related to taxes, as well as costs associated with a
recent law suit that has been settled.
Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Tieman explained that the reduced expense for landfill fees
referenced on Page 8 of the Presentation is due to less tonnage which is probably due, in part, to
recycling.
Mrs. Tieman clarified, in response to Mr. Shevock, that the fund balances are projected over the
minimum as the result of departmental savings and enhanced revenue, particularly noting the
Transfer Tax, which was approximately $750,000 more than anticipated.
Referring to Page 1 of the Latest Estimate, Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Budget, Mr. Ruane questioned
if it would be fiscally allowable to utilize the excess Electric Fund balance funds to provide a Power
Cost Adjustment (PCA) to customers. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima indicated that staff
feels comfortable, based on the Latest Estimate, that $1.4M would be available for a Power Cost
Adjustment (PCA) credit, which could be layered in over a 15-month period, beginning April 1,
2011, so that it would remain in sync with the fiscal year.
Mrs. Tieman reviewed Estimated Savings from Proposed PCA Calculation, as of February 28, 2010
(Attachment #2).
In response to Mr. Hogan, Mrs. Tieman stated that the Proposed PCA Calculation suggests a credit
in the amount of $.0043 from April 1 through June 30 and $.0015 beginning July 1 through
June 30, 2012.
Mr. DePrima reminded members that, ultimately, Council has the authority to provide the PCA.
In response to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Tieman stated that a First Reading would be held on March 14, 2011
and a Final Reading on March 28, 2011. She stated that the PCA would be effective with all bills
billed on or after April 1, 2011.

Replying to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Tieman clarified that the estimated savings for the average residential
customers would equal approximately $12.90 for three months or $4.30 per month for three months.
Mr. McGiffin moved to accept the Latest Estimate (LE) for Fiscal Year 2011 Budget Report,
seconded by Dr. Jones and unanimously carried.
Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend instituting a Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) to use $1.4M,
applied over 15 months, effective with all bills billed on or after April 1, 2011, seconded by
Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.
Proposed Ordinance #2011-07 Amending Chapter 46 Fire Prevention and Protection,
Article III - Fire Codes, Section 46-126 - Fire Prevention Permit
Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, reviewed Proposed
Ordinance #2011-07 Amending Chapter 46 Fire Prevention and Protection, Article III - Fire Codes,
Section 46-126 - Fire Prevention Permit and Amendments to Appendix F - Fees and Fines.
Mr. Koenig stated that the Delaware State Fire Prevention Regulations require periodic inspections,
testing, and maintenance of fire alarm signaling, fire suppression, and any other fire protection
systems, devices, and equipment installed within the State of Delaware, in accordance with the
National Fire Protection Association’s National Fire Codes and Standards.
Mr. Koenig advised members that, currently, Delaware State Fire Prevention Regulation 703,
Chapter 9.1.1 requires that the Annual Certificate of Inspection and the appropriate fees be
forwarded to the State Fire Marshal, with the exception of systems that are located in the jurisdiction
of a Jurisdictional Assistant State Fire Marshal. He explained that, in those exceptions, the fees are
paid to the appropriate Jurisdictional Assistant State Fire Marshal’s office. Mr. Koenig stated that
Dover, Newark, New Castle, and Wilmington are considered to have Jurisdictional Assistant State
Fire Marshals; however, currently, only the City of Wilmington and the City of Newark require the
fees to be paid to the municipality. The City of Dover and the City of New Castle do not require the
fees.
Mr. Koenig explained that, in an effort to develop new revenue streams, staff proposes the
implementation of the fees identified in the Delaware State Fire Prevention Regulations. He stated
that Proposed Ordinance #2011-07 would allow the City to collect the fees and begin the additional
monitoring associated with receiving the certificates. He informed members that, in the past, the
City has received fees collected by the inspection agencies but, without the proper authority to collect
these fees, has had to return them.
Mr. Koenig expressed his feeling that this would not be new to the community, noting that the
inspection agencies are aware that these fees are required by State regulation.
Mr. Koenig stated that staff has estimated that the collection of these fees will generate
approximately $50,000 per year in additional revenue. He also stated that, once the City begins
receiving the certificates, staff will update the GIS systems and the monitoring systems to ensure that
accurate records are kept.
Página 107
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 4
Mr. Koenig stated that the proposed fees support the following Critical Success Factors identified
in the Strategic Initiatives Section of the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Annual Operating Budget: Citywide
Safety and Cost and Revenue Efficiency.
Responding to Mr. Salters, Mr. David Truax, Fire Marshal, stated that the City does not do the
annual inspection of any fixed fire protection, including sprinkler, fire alarm, hood suppression, or
fire extinguisher. He explained that these inspections are performed by contractors licensed through
the State Fire Marshal’s Office. The City Fire Marshal’s Office is notified of violations within the
City of Dover and follows-up to ensure compliance or issues summonses as needed.
In response to Dr. Jones regarding the anticipation of increases in administrative costs associated
with managing the new fees, Mr. Koenig stated that during the first year or two, there will be
additional responsibilities with the collection of fees and ensuring that the City has all of the
certificates in place. However, once the database is established, the intent is to utilize the GIS
system; therefore, only maintenance would be required from that point forward. Mr. Koenig
explained that, at this time, additional staff is not being requested.
Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Koenig explained that the City will not be involved in any
invoicing. He stated that the inspection agency will provide the City with a copy of the certificate
and the insurances of inspection, as well as a check. The check will be processed and the
information will either be entered into the database and the GIS system or only the database which
will be imported into the GIS system. He informed members that all of the certificates will be kept
on file and will be available to the Fire Marshal’s Office, and possibly the Fire Department, through
the GIS system.
Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2011-07 Amending Chapter 46 Fire
Prevention and Protection, Article III - Fire Codes, Section 46-126 - Fire Prevention Permits and
Amendments to Appendix F - Fees and Fines.
Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2011-07 Amending
Chapter 46 Fire Prevention and Protection, Article III - Fire Codes, Section 46-126 - Fire
Prevention Permits and Amendments to Appendix F - Fees and Fines (Attachment #3),
seconded by Dr. Jones and unanimously carried.
Review of Hospitality and Civic Function Policy
Mayor Carleton E. Carey advised members that there are important functions offered by the Central
Delaware Chamber of Commerce and Kent County Tourism that are currently not covered under the
City’s Hospitality and Civic Function Policy. He stated his feeling that these functions should be
covered for Council Members to attend, and offered a list of examples, as follows:
1. The Kent County Tourism Annual Awards Dinner
2. The Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Dinner
3. The Mayor’s Annual Prayer Breakfast
4. The Governor’s Annual Prayer Breakfast
5. Kent County Economic Summit

COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2011 PAGE 5
Mr. McGiffin requested that Mayor Carey provide members with the costs for each of the events
listed.
Additionally, Mr. Salters requested that Mayor Carey provide the annual cost for members to attend
these events.
Mr. McGiffin moved to defer the matter until the next committee meeting, seconded by
Dr. Jones and unanimously carried.
By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 6:56 p.m.

PERSONNEL
Dawn Melson-Williams and 3 Planning Commission members attended an APA Audio Web Conference
“Retrofitting Corridors” that was held on January 19th at the Kent County Administration Building. The event
was co-sponsored by the Delaware Chapter of APA and the Dover/Kent County MPO.
The Planning Office participated in a Staff Retreat held at the Community Services Building on January 31,
2011. Topics covered education and training opportunities, general office operations, and projects and priorities
for the coming year.
EDEN HILL FARM TND
In January, the follow-up inspection of Ann Moore Park showed completion of the installation of park
furniture (benches, bike racks, trash cans). As a result, Final Certificates of Occupancy were issued for a
series of seven townhouse units on Ann Moore Street. For the Residential District of Eden Hill Farm
Traditional Neighborhood Design a total of 42 dwelling units are complete of the 51 permits approved
for dwelling units. No additional permits were filed in January. Construction activity is ongoing on a
series of seven townhouse units on South Greenberry Lane and two duplex units on Ruth Way where
permits were previously issued.
City Staff continues to work with the project developer Hill Farm Associates in regards to timely
payment and installation of street lighting.
Planning Staff comments were issued on January 6th for the Administrative Plan (MI-10-20) pertaining
to lot revisions in a portion of Phase 2 of the Residential District. The proposed revisions focused on
conversion of townhouse lots to a width of 20 feet and the conversion of some single family dwelling
lots to duplex lots (as allowed by the Planning Commission). The review identified plan compliance
issues with the Pattern Book standards as interpreted by Planning Staff. Following a meeting with the
applicant in late January to discuss the matter, the applicant is reviewing their options and may request
Planning Commission consideration of the issue.
In January, there was no specific activity associated with the Professional Office, Medical & Financial
District.
For the Neighborhood Commercial District, no plan submissions (Check Prints) have been received
since the Planning Commission’s action on the Revised Implementation Plan (Revision #2-Updated Plan
of October 1, 2010) in October.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Planning Staff continues to focus efforts on the implementation items identified in the 2008 Comprehensive
Plan as amended.
Planning Staff presented draft text amendments relating to solar and wind energy systems to the Utility
Committee in January; the formal review process is expected to follow. Staff continues to work on a
draft text amendment for the application processing provisions of Zoning Ordinance, Article 10.
The set of Comprehensive Plan Amendments for 2011 (MI-11-01) was prepared for review and a First
Reading setting the public hearing dates occurred on January 24th at the City Council meeting. The
proposed amendments focus on items related to the creation and adoption of the Recreational and Open
Página 167
Space Zone (ROS) with an update to Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix and selected revisions to
Map 12-1: Land Development Plan. Also there two applicant initiated amendments to the Land
Development Plan map to be considered.
The Planning Office Retreat also set a Work Plan for 2011 which continues to include various projects
and ordinance development activities associated with the Comprehensive Plan Implementation.
Other Activities
New Dover High School Project (C-10-05) - Planning Staff continues to be involved in the various planning
discussions and review activities related to the new Dover High School project proposed to be constructed
Forrest Avenue (Route 8). Review of a Land Subdivision Regulations Waiver (Street Right-of-way width) for
the project was originally scheduled for the January 26th Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee
meeting; however, the meeting was cancelled due to inclement weather and was rescheduled for February.

The Code Enforcement Division and Fire Marshal’s Office conducted joint inspections of several House of
Pride properties on January 4, 2011. Numerous violations found during October 2010 inspections had not been
corrected. The Code Enforcement Division also performed inspections of other House of Pride properties in late
January and identified code violations that must be corrected. The Code Enforcement Division and Fire
Marshal’s Office coordinated closely with the Planning Office, as the violations relate to the Conditional Use
review by the Planning Commission on January 18, 2011, where the Planning Commission required that all
violations be corrected within 30 days or the Conditional Use Permit would be revoked. Follow-up inspections
are scheduled for February.

The Planning Commission met on January 18, 2011 and took the actions summarized listed below. The next
scheduled Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for February 22, 2011.
1. Z-11-01 Lands of F&B Properties at 293 South Saulsbury Road - Moved to forward
recommendation of approval to City Council for rezoning from C-3/COZ-1 to C-2A/COZ-1.
2. C-08-01 House of Pride at Properties on North New Street and South New Street - Moved to grant
an extension of thirty (30) days to allow this organization to come into compliance. 1) It should be
noted as part of the motion that 35 N. New Street is not applicable and is specifically excluded. 2) That
16 N. New Street and 102 S. New Street being unoccupied, are also excluded from these matters and
will include revocation of the Conditional Use for these two (2) properties. They could be brought back
for Conditional Use in the future. If it fails, it would be a “go no go” on the 30th day of extension that
you are there or you are not and that they are within full compliance within thirty (30) days. If it does
not happen, then you have an attorney that can restore it and get it going again by doing it in another
thirty (30) days where we could revisit the whole matter. The extension for thirty (30) days would start
from today and would be a “go no go” where it would be a Staff administrative decision that would not
have to come back before the Planning Commission. A subsequent amendment to the motion clarified
the motion to state that each property would stand independent of one another; and if approval can be
granted on any one of them, it would independently be given Conditional Use for one year and to be
revisited at that time.

RE: Updated CIP (2010-2020 Apparatus Schedule)
Dear President Hogan:
As per the Haggerty and Haggerty recommendations approved by City Council on
May 26, 2009, please find attached an updated Capital Investment Plan (CIP) for the
years 2010 thru 2020.
Due to the current economic situation, I have thoroughly reviewed the apparatus schedule
and determined that there is not a need to replace Engine 7 in fiscal year 2013 and have
removed the purchase from the schedule. This revision should save the City of Dover
approximately $594,997.00.
In lieu of replacing Engine 7, I am respectfully requesting to outfit Rescue 1 with
Holmatro Equipment. Currently, Rescue 1 is the only piece of apparatus in the fleet that
does not have this equipment (is equipped with outdated Hurst equipment that is over 20
years old). By outfitting with Holmatro, Rescue 1 will be consistent with other apparatus
and equipment can be interchanged during an incident, if needed.
The cost to replace this equipment is $56,234.00 (copy of proposal attached) and will be
a one-time expense.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call.
Yours in Service,
Jack I. Fortney, Jr.
