EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Foreword Dave Hugg - City Manager
The City of Dover (Dover) is pleased to present the 2022 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) document, the
results of a detailed analysis of alternatives it may select to meet its energy and capacity requirements
for 2022-2042. Dover's Electric Utility is owned and accountable to its community. In the rapidly
changing electric industry, Dover remains steadfast in serving its customers by offering competitive
rates, high reliability, local control, public accountability, and responsive customer service to the
community. In response to those changes, Dover is updating its IRP more frequently, working with The
Energy Authority (TEA), a strategic partner, to build upon our significant progress toward the goals laid
out in the 2017 IRP.
Introduction
Dover, the Capital of Delaware, is centrally located in the State and is part of the Mid-Atlantic region.
The city is approximately 90 miles from Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Dover's population ranks
second only to Wilmington, Delaware. Delaware and the Eastern Shore counties of Maryland and
Virginia comprise the Delmarva Peninsula. Dover is also the largest city in land area on the peninsula,
with a total land area of over 23 square miles.
Dover is responsible for electric power supply reliability and the engineering, construction, and
maintenance of electric infrastructure. The Electric Team maintains a system that covers 75 square
miles and serves approximately 25,000 customers. Dover also operates a 42 MW generation station at
Van Sant by Schutte Park, which generates electricity for use in Dover and sells it into PJM, the regional
organized market.
Electric power is a keystone of our nation's economic and social welfare, as nearly every aspect of daily
life depends on the reliable, economical, and safe delivery of electric power. To successfully provide
electric services to the community, The City of Dover, Delaware, must make effective power resource
decisions in a complex and uncertain environment. Technology development, electricity and
commodity pricing, economic factors, environmental regulations, and cultural and social forces are
elements of risk to long-term planning. Thus, a comprehensive Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) is
essential in identifying and advancing a strategy to achieve the city's mission, vision, and goals.

Item 2.
Understanding IRP as a Road Map
The 2022 Dover IRP is a comprehensive decision
support tool and roadmap for meeting the city's
objective of providing reliable, safe, low-cost
electric service to all customers. As part of the
planning process, Dover monitors changing
market conditions, such as more stringent
environmental regulations and technological
advancements. This systematic market review
helps guide Dover's future resource decisions,
inform appropriate actions within the
recommended ranges, and identify the right
timing for initiating the next IRP.
The following are some of the key variables that
could have a significant influence on the future
generation portfolio: IRP Methodology
Developing the 2022 IRP has been a 12-month
process that began with scoping in the spring of
2022. The IRP utilizes an iterative methodology
that starts with identifying assumptions that
become the basis for forecasting future electric
demand and the potential resources to meet
that demand. The process optimizes a mix of
resources and minimizes future costs while
meeting Dover's overarching goals.
This executive summary looks at plan objectives,
modeling, forecasting approach, existing
resources, and an overview of plan
recommendations.
Page 4

Página 10
Item 2.
Additional key plan concepts (bulleted below) are applied within the planning framework to form the
most important considerations for Dover's decision-making process.
• Create a baseline projection for this IRP process.
• Analyze essential commodities, emissions, and price forecasts.
• Incorporate proven methodologies for energy and demand forecasting.
• Analyze existing and new resources on a cost-to-serve load basis.
• Forecast future demand and supply requirements to determine the optimal mix of resources to
minimize future costs while meeting reliability, regulatory, and social expectations.
• Build a strategic long-term "buy" or "build" plan for capacity resources to meet PJM's capacity
obligation requirements.
• Continue to rely on PJM for short-term tactical energy and capacity to serve Dover's load
throughout the study period.
• Utilize Levelized Cost of Energy and Net Present Value calculations in asset evaluation.
• Present consumable information and assumptions with transparency.
• Provide clear recommendations.
Recommendations
The IRP results, including the base case, five defined scenarios, and one alternate case, provide a
robust set of potential resource additions. Under all of the studied scenarios, solar generation has a
significant expansion. The final recommendation is derived from this evaluation.
• Balance short-term capacity needs through 2026 in PJM's Reliability Pricing Model market.
• In spring 2023, issue an RFP for 125 MW in 2027 and an additional 100 MW tranche in 2028.
• Capacity options for evaluation should include:
o Purchased power agreements.
o Solar purchased power agreements.
o Battery energy storage.
o Utility-owned gas turbines or reciprocating internal combustion engines.
• Subsequent RFPs should be timed appropriately to satisfy capacity shortfalls beyond 2028
• If selecting purchased power agreements for capacity requirements, it is recommended that
Dover use a diversified combination of vendors and term lengths to help mitigate energy
commodity risks.
• Initiate a Demand Side Peak Reduction Study focused on Demand Side management
alternatives such as load management and end-user energy conservation measures, which
could be installed on the electrical distribution system or at the end-use customers' facilities.

PLANNING ENVIRONMENT
Industry and Economic Factors/Risks
Dover faces the challenge of delivering reliable, safe, and cost-effective energy to its customers in an
industry that is changing at an increasingly rapid pace. Since Dover's previous Integrated Resource
Planning, completed in 2017, notable changes have included increasingly stringent environmental
goals, growing penetration of renewable resources as a replacement of carbon-emitting thermal
generation, battery energy storage becoming a more viable option, and the economic challenges of the
pandemic and current high inflationary period.
The following are industry risks considered in the development of Dover's recommended resource
plan:
• Possible changes to federal energy policy and federal, state, and local environmental
regulations continue to evolve as the energy sector transitions from primarily fossil-based
systems of energy production and consumption to cleaner, carbon-free sources.
• Future solar pricing remains relatively high after recent market disruptions dramatically
reversed the price declines that had been occurring consistently for over a decade.
• Continued long lead times are required for new renewable and thermal resources due to
ongoing supply chain issues and project backlogs.
• The PJM's Installed Reserve Margin (IRM) requirement can potentially increase.
• Decreasing Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) accreditation for renewables as renewable
penetration increases.
• Possible increased congestion into the Dover service territory that would result in higher
locational marginal pricing.
• A change in the Unforced Capacity (UCAP) accreditation methodology for conventional
resources could result in lower accreditation values.
• The potential for reduced peak demand and energy forecasting accuracy caused by using
renewables, battery energy storage, electric vehicles, and distributed energy resources
increases.
Market Constraints
Several key market constraints identified in the IRP process are discussed in this section. The natural
geography of a peninsula is a contributing factor to various market constraints presented. Electricity
transmission grid constraints impact the price of wholesale electricity. Natural gas pipeline constraints
affect the owned generation and the resource plan options that Dover can choose economically. Lastly,
transmission grid reliability constraints, requiring transmission upgrade projects that impact Dover's
ratepayers, are presented. An overview of the available competitive electricity markets leads the
discussion.

Item 2.
Dover is a member of the Pennsylvania-
New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection
(PJM), a regional transmission
organization that coordinates
wholesale electricity movement in
portions of the Mid-Atlantic and
Midwestern United States. Dover is
located on the Delmarva peninsula in
PJM's eastern service territory. Below is
a map of the PJM service territory, with
Dover's location marked in yellow on
the peninsula.1
Acting as a neutral, independent party, PJM operates a competitive wholesale electricity market and
manages the high-voltage electricity grid to ensure reliable energy transmission for more than 65
million people. PJM's long-term regional planning process provides a broad, interstate perspective that
identifies the most effective and cost-efficient improvements to this transmission grid to ensure
reliability and economic benefits on a PJM-system-wide basis. An independent board oversees PJM's
activities, informed by a robust and collaborative stakeholder process in which stakeholders like Dover
participate. Dover's membership in PJM benefits Dover's ratepayers by leveraging PJM's typically
lower-cost energy resources, transmission grid expertise, and cost-control measures.
Dover purchases wholesale electrical energy directly from PJM's competitive energy markets. Dover
buys bilateral energy contracts to hedge the market price uncertainty and reduces its energy costs with
revenues from Dover's owned generation when it is economically dispatched into the PJM energy
markets.

Item 2.
As a competitive market, PJM is independently
evaluated by a third-party market monitoring entity,
which publishes its evaluation in various documents.
The 2021 Independent Market Monitor's State of the
Market Report table lists the historical averages for
PJM market energy prices. (Monitoring Analytics,
2022) These annual averages are load-weighted
prices, in dollars per megawatt-hours, of the energy
purchased from PJM's energy markets by all its
members. PJM has two independently priced energy
markets: one allows Dover to buy energy at real-time
prices as it is being produced and consumed. The
second market works like a one-day-ahead firm
reservation to buy the next day's energy at forecasted
market prices, but only for the reserved volume of
energy in that reservation. Dover participates in both
energy markets, with most of its energy purchases
reserved in the day-ahead market. The balance of
Dover's hourly energy needs is purchased in the real-
time energy market. The net bilateral hedging market
revenues and any net economic owned-generation
dispatch revenues are financial offsets to Dover's
energy market purchases.2

Item 2.
The color-coded price map below is from the independent PJM market monitor's 2021 State of the
Market Report, with Dover's location marked with a black star on the Delmarva peninsula. (Monitoring
Analytics, 2022) The price map shows load-weighted average real-time energy prices across the full
PJM region during 2021, providing a color-coded graphic comparison to the PJM system-wide average
energy price for all of 2021. The figure's legend states that the baseline system-wide average price is
labeled "SMP," or system marginal price. The annualized PJM-wide system marginal price used for
comparison is not load-weighted.
In contrast, the localized energy prices are load-weighted to account for the energy used in those
regions. The blue-green represents the system marginal price in the figure's price/color legend. In
contrast, each incremental color to the right or left represents five percent of the average load-
weighted real-time prices above and below that system marginal price for a particular region. 3
PJM transmission grid constraints and projected improvements are evaluated and factored into the IRP
process. This evaluation can affect the energy resources selected for the plan because forecasted fuel
and market-energy prices are significant factors in assessing the cost of prospective energy resources.
Because large waterways on three sides surround the Delmarva peninsula, it is geographically isolated
from the rest of the PJM service territory in a way that naturally constrains useful energy imports from
and exports to the surrounding PJM service territory.

energy market fell into the chart’s light-blue-to-light green color bars.

Item 2.
These transmission constraints frequently impact PJM market energy pricing in Dover and the
peninsula. That market pricing is a significant part of DOVER's load cost, although the transmission
constraint impacts can be financially favorable or unfavorable for Dover's customers, varying from
month to month. The financial impact has generally been favorable to Dover's ratepayers in recent
years. As shown in the table below, DOVER's average annual PJM market energy prices have typically
been below the average PJM price, indicating that Dover's customers are typically paying lower costs
for power than most PJM entities.
PJM Energy Market Prices
Dover Avg
Year PJM DA Avg PJM RT Avg
PJM Price
2016 $27.28 $28.10 $27.57
2017 $29.34 $29.48 $29.42
2018 $36.75 $35.69 $35.75
2019 $23.57 $26.03 $26.02
2020 $18.34 $20.33 $20.66
2021 $35.03 $37.76 $38.18 4
Dover receives its natural gas services as an interruptible-gas customer because Dover's owned
generation is infrequently economically dispatched into the electricity market. During times of high
demand for natural gas, the natural gas pipeline management company is contractually required to
limit its interruptible customers to ensure that its firm-gas customers are supplied the natural gas their
contracts specify. The cost to switch from interruptible-gas service to firm-gas service is high. Any
expansion of firm natural gas capacity in the Dover area would require years of planning by pipeline
management companies, which includes funding and building additional pipeline infrastructure. New
customers must share the cost of the new infrastructure necessary and are required to enter into
decades-long firm-gas contractual commitments. Dover avoids the high cost of acquiring firm-gas
customer status by owning dual-fuel generation. Dover can run its generation on fuel oil whenever
natural gas is unavailable to the pipeline's interruptible customers.

Item 2.
Lastly, a primary mission of PJM is to ensure its bulk electric power system's safety, reliability, and
security across its entire 13-state region. Power grid operators at PJM make real-time decisions that
balance electricity supply and demand to keep the lights on across PJM. To keep the power grid
balanced, PJM continuously monitors its system, reacting to changes in electricity use, equipment
problems, weather conditions, and other factors to keep electricity flowing to customers.
PJM's robust planning process ensures that electricity will be available when customers need it for
years into the future. PJM analyzes several factors to see what changes or additions are required –
such as connecting new power lines or upgrading existing equipment – to ensure ongoing reliable
power supplies for all its consumers. PJM's annual Regional Transmission Expansion Plan determines
the changes likely to be needed up to 15 years into the future. Generation interconnection studies
determine whether the existing grid can handle power from a new generating plant and what
transmission grid changes are needed to connect the new resource. Therefore, any impacts to
transmission grid reliability are carefully monitored by PJM, including the removal of existing
generation, so these significant resource changes do not adversely affect reliability for its PJM
customers. Generation retirement planning studies and associated transmission upgrade projects
ensure that the grid can accommodate various generator deactivation requests.
The Delmarva peninsula is experiencing these transmission-grid growing pains from a requested
deactivation of an aging coal plant. Significant transmission upgrades to the Delmarva grid are needed
before the coal plant can safely retire, even while equipment upgrades are required to keep the aging
coal plant fully functional. The seven identified transmission grid upgrades are scheduled to be
implemented over approximately five years. PJM's thorough planning process keeps the lights on in the
Delmarva peninsula. The customers share the sizeable cost of accommodating the coal plant
retirement across the limited region of transmission reliability impact. With this retirement, the cost to
keep the plant operating for five years far exceeds the cost of transmission grid improvements. The
cost to run the unit is spread over the five years the coal plant remains online, while the transmission
upgrade costs are spread over the expected life of those improvements, typically 20-40 years. Dover's
ratepayers are currently impacted by the cost of continuing to run the coal plant.
PJM Capacity Construct
Each PJM member that is a load-serving entity provides electricity to consumers and must acquire
enough power supply resources to meet the demand for today, tomorrow, and the future. Load-
serving entities secure these resources for the future through the PJM capacity market. PJM's capacity
market, called the Reliability Pricing Model, ensures long-term grid reliability by procuring the
appropriate power supply resources needed to meet predicted energy demand for three years. Under
a "pay-for-performance" model, power supply resources must deliver on demand during system
emergencies or owe a significant payment for non-performance. Sufficient electricity capacity means
adequate resources on the grid to ensure that the electricity demand can be reliably supplied every
Page 11
hour, including each year's peak system demand. Because every supply resource cannot be available
during all hours of the year, PJM must plan to have additional resources available to cover planned and
16
Página 17
Item 2.
unexpected outages. Therefore, each load-serving entity is responsible for approximately 120% of its
forecasted yearly peak demand, with the exact percentage determined yearly through the PJM
capacity planning process.
The 2022 Dover IRP has incorporated the PJM capacity market construct into the modeling, analysis,
and recommendation process. Dover participates in the PJM capacity market and bilateral capacity
markets as a load-serving entity to purchase sufficient capacity to meet its load-serving obligation. As
an owner of generation, Dover sells its generating capacity into the PJM capacity market.
PJM's capacity market was created to help efficiently deliver resource adequacy on a physical,
locational basis. PJM's resource mix has been and is still undergoing a significant transition driven by
consumer preference, technology, and state/federal policy changes. Market fundamentals (supply-
demand balance) have also been shifting, with load forecasts declining, existing generation such as
inefficient coal units retiring, and new renewable and efficient natural gas resources added. The net
result of these ever-changing market dynamics is reflected in the historical volatility of capacity market
clearing prices.

Item 2.
Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)
Delaware statute requires all investor-owned, municipal, and cooperative electric utilities to:
• Integrate renewable energy resources into their energy portfolios,
• Contribute annually to the Delaware Green Energy Fund,
• Submit annual compliance reporting to the Delaware Public Service Commission.
However, Delaware statute also permits municipal and cooperative electric utilities three statutory
options to comply with its state RPS law: (1) letter-of-the-law compliance with full Delaware Public
Service Commission oversight and stringent reporting requirements, (2) self-exemption if the utility
establishes its own comparable RPS program, or (3) annual alternative compliance payments to the
Delaware Green Energy Fund, instead of utilizing renewable resources. After comparing the three
options, Dover has elected to self-design and administer a comparable municipal program, achieving
the lowest compliance cost possible for its ratepayers.
In developing its comparable plan, Dover has and will continue to add qualifying renewable energy
resources to its energy portfolio to achieve the lowest possible compliance cost to protect its
ratepayers from unreasonable and burdensome impacts on their cost of electricity. Dover's goal is to
comply with the spirit of the Delaware RPS without negatively impacting the community ratepayers or
the Dover economy. By choosing the self-exemption option, Dover can also fund its local, comparable
Green Energy Fund, providing a more direct benefit to its local ratepayers.
In 2021, the Delaware Legislature updated its RPS statute by extending and increasing its annual RPS
target goals, lowering its alternative-compliance-payment cost caps, and repealing a second
compliance cost-containment option. The target goals were developed from 2025 to 2035, continuing
with annually increasing requirements. The prior standard required utilities to reach 25% of eligible
energy consumption derived from suitable renewable energy sources by 2025, with at least 3.5% from
solar photovoltaic sources. The new standard requires 40% by 2035, with at least 10% from solar
photovoltaic sources.

Item 2.
The table below contains Dover's annual compliance goals, which match Delaware's statutory-
mandated goals:
Dover will review and rebalance its compliance schedule annually to ensure cost impacts to our
community ratepayers are reasonable and accurately match qualifying retail electricity sales with
renewable energy resource procurement. As permitted by self-exemption, Dover will annually prepare
and submit an RPS compliance report to the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and
Environment Control rather than the Delaware Public Service Commission.

Load Forecast
A load forecast was developed to capture changes in separate customer classes over time for the
following: residential, commercial, primary, Dover Air Force base, Proctor and Gamble, Kraft, and First
State Power Management. Each of these customer classes has a unique historical trend, with demand
for some classes increasing in recent years and others decreasing. Ten years of historical load and
weather data were gathered to determine a weather-normalized historical load, effectively removing
the impact weather has on historical load data. Woods & Poole's economic forecast for Kent County's
total employment was then utilized to project the change in weather-normalized load for each
customer class. The output of this process is a 50/50 weather-normalized load forecast, meaning 50%
of years will exceed the forecast while the remaining 50% will be below, depending on the weather.
This 50/50 weather-normalized load forecast is shown below, with periods before 2022 representing

Fuel Prices
Fuel price forecasts developed by S&P Global Commodity Insights (S&P), Wood Mackenzie (WM), and
the NYMEX forward curve served as the basis for the fuel price projections used in this IRP study.
NATURAL GAS
Henry Hub price forecasts from S&P and WM that were current in mid-2022 served as the basis
for the Base Case natural gas price assumption. S&P and WM utilize detailed supply and
demand fundamentals analyses in developing these forecasts. The high case values are the
NYMEX closing prices as of July 21, 2022. A basis adjustment was applied to the Henry Hub
values to arrive at the variable cost of gas delivered to Dover. The analysis assumed a combined
cycle addition would require firm gas transportation to ensure reliable gas delivery. Lower-cost
interruptible transportation was considered adequate for a simple cycle combustion turbine
with diesel backup.
The base and high natural gas prices reflect the expectation that demand for natural gas is
limited over the long term. The global energy transition and the energy industry's shift from
fossil-based systems to carbon-free energy sources, including solar, wind, and battery storage,
will eventually reduce gas demand. There is also the potential for federal carbon legislation to
establish a Clean Energy Standard (CES). Such legislation would also place downward pressure
on long-term natural gas demand in the US power sector.
Contrary to the long-term domestic demand reduction expectations, global demand for US LNG
has recently been increasing. Europe's goal to diversify its supply with imports from the US is
driving this growth. LNG exports will likely remain strong for the remainder of the decade due
to export capacity additions, relatively high global gas prices, and increased global demand.
Furthermore, although renewable resources will dominate incremental generating resources,
coal retirements will provide additional opportunities for natural gas demand growth before
decarbonization becomes the predominant driver.
In the short term, the continuation of the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the curtailment of
Russian gas supplies into Europe have driven up the spot price of natural gas and widened
global gas price risk premiums. US storage deficits have persisted due to strong power and LNG
feedgas demand and limited production gains brought about by supply chain issues and labor
shortages. Domestic LNG facilities are operating at high levels resulting in the US becoming the
world's largest LNG exporter during the first half of 2022, averaging 11.2 Bcf per day.
The domestic supply/demand imbalance resulted in Henry Hub pricing exceeding the High
Natural Gas values for 2022. Despite the near-term bullish factors, the current high oil and gas
prices have begun to cause more supply to come back to the market and reduce the deficit.
Consistent with the current NYMEX forward curve, the natural gas pricing used in this study
assumes that Henry Hub prices will decline after the winter of 2022-23.

Item 2.
Despite recent high prices exacerbated by global turmoil, the base and high natural gas prices
used in this study are reasonable for planning purposes. The Base Case resource plan focuses
on adding solar and battery resources while avoiding natural gas-fired combustion turbines and
reciprocating internal combustion engines. Higher gas prices drive high power prices, making
renewable solar additions even more cost-effective.

Item 2.
DIESEL FUEL
Diesel was modeled as a backup fuel for the combustion turbine and reciprocating internal
combustion engine options. The projected diesel price was based on actual New York Harbor
heating oil values reported by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) through June 2022
and a representative transportation cost. The cost was escalated based on NYMEX heating oil
futures through 2024 (July 22, 2022) and EIA's forecast of the cost of diesel fuel delivered to
power plants from its 2022 Annual Energy Outlook.

Item 2.
Market Power Price
The power price forecast was developed using the model from PJM's 2021 Regional Transmission
Expansion Plan. PJM performs this study every year to determine future transmission upgrade projects
on their system. The model for this study forecasts the entire PJM transmission system for several
future years, calculating the hourly price of power across the region. Input into this model was the
forecasted base natural gas price, as described in the fuels section. After doing so, the model was run,
outputting a power price forecast for each zone in PJM. These zonal prices aggregate each location in a
particular area of PJM. The hourly zonal price forecasts were obtained for Dover's zone.
Additionally, several zonal price forecasts were grouped to create a projection for PJM Western Hub's
power price. Western Hub is an aggregate power price for the western region of PJM, which was used
for evaluating nonlocal solar projects. Below is the monthly average price forecast for Dover and PJM
West Hub.

Item 2.
Two alternate power price forecasts were evaluated as well:
1. The first involves an assumed increase in natural gas prices relative to the base assumptions.
This increase is outlined in the fuel price assumptions and increased projected power prices.
2. The second alternate power price forecast included assumptions for federal carbon reduction
requirements. 5
The overall impact of the federal carbon reduction requirements is an assumed increase in the amount
of renewable generation throughout PJM. Furthermore, the increased power generation from
renewable resources results in a decrease in the power price forecast. The annual average power price
at Dover is shown below for the base and two alternate price forecasts .
Existing Capacity Resources
Dover's existing generation resources are listed in the table below. The McKee Run Unit 3 is not
included in this study because Dover has retired the resource. SunPark is behind the PJM billing meter;
it offsets Dover's peak demand and energy purchases from PJM.

Item 2.
RESOURCES
New resources will be needed during the study period to accommodate the increased load. Due to the
significant lead times required for construction and interconnecting a resource to PJM's regional
transmission system, timely planning for each new resource is critical to ensure capacity requirements
are met. Eight different resource options were analyzed in the IRP based on the following criteria:
• Cost and economic returns
• Accredited capacity provided
• Reliability benefits
• Environmental compliance
The study included an evaluation of solar obtained through purchased power agreements (PPAs),
several thermal natural gas-fired generation options, and bilateral capacity PPAs. In addition, battery
energy storage was included in the analysis.
Utility-scale and community solar projects, which have provided most of the recent generating capacity
additions in PJM, are the renewable resource options for Dover that were evaluated in this study. Solar
generation currently makes up about 5% of the installed capacity in PJM. Despite recent disruptions,
including ongoing supply chain interruptions, high inflation rates, and regulatory uncertainties, utilities,
and their communities prioritize renewable resources to satisfy future energy requirements while
achieving carbon-reduction goals. S&P Global Commodity Insights projects that PJM's nameplate solar
capacity will increase by over 50,000 MW by the mid-2030s when it is likely to make up about a quarter
of installed generation capacity in PJM.
This study also considered dispatchable thermal resources sited in Dover's service territory. At least
until storage reaches technical maturity, the ability of dispatchable generating resources to follow load
is essential for reliable and uninterrupted electric service. Natural gas-fired small-scale industrial frame
combustion turbines and reciprocating internal combustion engines with diesel backup were evaluated
as candidates for inclusion in Dover's resource portfolio. Manufacturers of combustion turbines and
reciprocating internal combustion engines are attempting to decarbonize the operation of these units
by improving their capability to operate on increasing percentages of hydrogen gas.
Nuclear generation utilizing the emerging small modular reactor technology was also included as a
supply-side option for Dover. Nuclear power has the potential to play a pivotal role in helping the US
meet its carbon reduction goals, and the industry is currently focusing on the development of small
modular reactors that offer numerous advantages over traditional large-scale reactors. These
advantages include reduced costs, modular production, smaller land requirements, inherent safety
features, and longer refueling cycles. Although SMR holds great promise, power output from an initial
domestic project is unlikely before 2029.
Page 21

Página 27
Item 2.
A bilateral capacity purchase is another option for Dover that was included in this study. Reflecting an
increasing value of capacity in the PJM market as the penetration of renewables grows, pricing for
capacity PPAs having a 5-year term is assumed to increase at an average annual rate exceeding 5%
over the study period.
Battery storage is a viable resource option for Dover, and 4-hour duration batteries were evaluated in
this study. Battery storage is proving effective in integrating wind and solar into the electric grid. This
technology can collect or store electricity when demand or prices are low and discharge or supply
energy when demand or market prices are higher. Until recently, battery storage costs had been
experiencing a continual decline, allowing this technology to become cost-effective for utility-scale use
and dominate the energy storage market. As with solar and wind projects, high inflation and supply
chain constraints have adversely impacted the cost and project lead times. Utilities continue to
monitor this technology and are beginning to include battery storage as an integral part of an effective
resource plan.

Item 2.
Offshore wind is an emerging technology
expected to significantly contribute to
PJM's power supply by the middle of this
decade. New Jersey, Maryland, and
Virginia have set offshore wind targets to
be met between 2030 and 2035. In
November 2021, S&P projected that
offshore wind in PJM will exceed 12,000
MW and provide approximately 5% of
PJM's electric generation by 2034.
US Wind and Ørsted are developing projects approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission that
will be located off the Delaware and Maryland coasts. These offshore wind projects will add over 2000
MW of nameplate capacity.
In 2017, Governor Carney established the Offshore Wind Working Group. The working group studied
Delaware's participation in the following:
• Developing offshore wind
• Identifying ways to leverage the related economic opportunities
• Making specific recommendations for engaging in the development of offshore wind for
Delaware.
An expert analysis indicated that "offshore wind prices are likely to fall significantly as development
ramps up and the industry supply chain develops" (Carney, 2017) and did not recommend participation
in one of the initial projects. Dover continues to monitor the offshore wind market for opportunities
but did not include it as a supply option for this IRP study.
In addition to supply-side resource options, demand-side management (DSM) programs may provide
cost-effective options for future evaluation. Energy-focused DSM programs intended to improve
energy efficiency include using programmable "smart" thermostats, efficient HVAC, water heating,
lighting, appliances, smart thermostats, and low-income insulation.

BASE CASE SOLUTION
The base case solution represents the resource selection with the Lowest Levelized Cost of Energy and
Net Present Value that meets the constraints specified by Dover. Net Present value is the sum of all
costs and revenues throughout the study. Levelized Cost of Energy takes the Net Present Value and
divides it by the total energy consumed by Dover throughout the study. The 20-year IRP is broken up
into five-year actionable periods for decision-making purposes. Every five years, a graphic shows the
resources built or PPAs expired. The MegaWatt (MW) value shown next to each resource represents
the nameplate capacity, or maximum possible output, of that resource being built or retired.
For reference, the legend below depicts the resource types being represented in each graphic.
Page 24
29
Página 30
Item 2.
Through the first five years of the IRP study, a combination of utility-scale solar PPAs and bilateral
capacity is being built or retired. In 2023, 35 MW of bilateral capacity will be purchased to ensure
Dover meets the capacity requirements set by PJM. During the following year, an additional 45 MW of
bilateral capacity is purchased to offset 40 MW of existing bilateral capacity, which is expiring. 50 MW
of utility-scale solar PPA will be built in 2026. This PPA helps Dover meet their PJM capacity
requirements and assists in meeting state requirements for renewable and solar generation. In the last
year of this period, an additional 100 MW of utility-scale solar PPAs is built. This second PPA provides
additional generation to meet state renewable generation requirements and offsets the expiration of
60 MW of existing bilateral capacity during the same year.
Page 25
30
Página 31
Item 2.
Following the end of the previous period, in 2028, an additional 100 MW of utility-scale solar PPAs are
built in the base case results. This procurement assists in offsetting the loss of 35 MW bilateral
capacity, which expired in the same year. In 2029, a 45 MW block of bilateral capacity expires, with the
loss in capacity replaced by a 75 MW utility-scale solar/storage PPA. This project is broken into 50 MW
solar and 25 MW battery storage in the above graphic. During the remainder of this second period, the
Sun Park solar PPA expires in 2031. A 10 MW block of bilateral capacity is purchased to offset the lost
capacity due to Sun Park's expiration.
Page 26
31
Página 32
Item 2.
In 2033 and 2035, 5 MW blocks of bilateral capacity are purchased. These are added to ensure Dover is
meeting PJM capacity requirements. During 2036, a 10 MW block of bilateral capacity expires and is
replaced with a new 5 MW block of bilateral capacity and a 50 MW utility-scale solar PPA.
Page 27
32
Página 33
Item 2.
Through the last 5-year period in the study, previously purchased bilateral capacity is expiring in 2039,
2040, and 2041. New bilateral capacity purchases offset these expirations and ensure that Dover
continues to meet their PJM capacity requirements.

SCENARIOS AND ALTERNATE BASE CASE PORTFOLIOS
Scenario Analysis – High Natural Gas Price
The base case natural gas price projection is based on expected natural gas supply and demand
fundamentals; however, throughout much of 2022, we have seen a significant increase in the domestic
price of natural gas due primarily to unexpected geopolitical unrest. With the continued military
conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Europe's demand for US-liquefied natural gas is elevated as it
attempts to replace the lost Russian supply. In addition, the ongoing decarbonization of the power
market allows additional natural gas utilization as coal units are retired. In the future, unexpected
geopolitical, environmental, and other bullish factors may drive the price of natural gas above the base
case projection. Thus, a high natural gas price scenario is important in identifying Dover's best path
forward.
This increase in natural gas prices drives a rise in projected power prices. Below is a comparison of
Dover's average annual power price in the base case and the high natural gas price scenario. While
there are power price increases in the near term, the largest growth in expected power prices is
observed from 2030 onward.

While higher natural gas prices result in a higher Levelized Cost of Energy and Net Present Value, there
is no difference in build and retirement decisions from the base case. The higher financial outputs in
this scenario are driven largely by elevated average power prices, increasing the cost to purchase
power at Dover's load.
Scenario Analysis – Base Natural Gas High Renewable Portfolio Standard
Another possible risk from a planning perspective is a Delaware statutory increase to Dover's
renewable portfolio standard requirements. As mentioned in previous sections, the renewable
portfolio standard is a policy from the State of Delaware that requires each utility to achieve a level of
generation from renewable resources and a level of generation specifically from solar resources. These
levels are based on a percentage of the total load volume for each utility during a defined planning
year period. This scenario evaluates the impact of an increase in Delaware's renewable and solar
generation requirements. Below is a comparison of the base case and high renewable portfolio
standard assumptions by planning year.
Page 30
35
Página 36
Item 2.
These assumed renewable portfolio standard requirements remain the same between the base and
high case through 2029, then increase through the remainder of the study. The high case increases the
renewable generation requirement from 61% to 75% and the solar generation requirement from 21%
to 25% by the last planning year of the study.

Overall, increasing the renewable portfolio standard requirements for Dover does not impact this
study's build and retirement decisions. The solar and solar/battery PPAs selected in the base case
forecast are already reaching a renewable/solar generation level that puts Dover comfortably above
this scenario's assumed higher renewable and solar generation requirements. There is an increase in
both financial metrics compared to the base case, which is solely due to a reduction in the sale of
excess renewable and solar renewable energy credits.
Scenario Analysis – Base Natural Gas & Seasonal Capacity Planning
Current PJM capacity requirements are determined based on a utility's summer peak load. As
discussed in previous sections, a utility must acquire a firm capacity equal to 20.5% above its summer
peak load volume. In recent years, however, adopting a seasonal capacity requirement has become
prominent amongst regional transmission organizations, requiring utilities to acquire capacity
separately for summer, winter, or all four seasons. A significant driver of this change is extreme
weather events observed in recent years. A prime example is February 2021's Winter Storm Uri, which
caused rolling blackouts throughout the central United States.
While PJM currently does not have a seasonal capacity requirement, this may be adopted in the future.
This scenario evaluates the impact of such a policy on Dover. A comparison of the assumed summer
and winter capacity requirements is shown below. The winter requirement was obtained from a
neighboring organized market to PJM, the Midcontinent Independent System Operator's winter
capacity requirement. They adopted a seasonal capacity construct beginning in June 2023.
Page 31
36
Página 37
Item 2.
Another consideration in this scenario is evaluating seasonal capacity accreditation for renewable
resources. As mentioned in the 'PJM Capacity Construct' section, renewable resource capacity was
assumed to be assessed based on Effective Load Carrying Capacity, a measure of a resource's ability to
generate power when needed most by the grid. This is of particular concern for solar resources
because there is a large discrepancy between solar generation during the peak load periods in summer
(afternoon hours) and the peak load periods in winter (morning and evening hours).
Below is a comparison of the assumed solar capacity accreditation for the base and Seasonal Capacity
Planning scenarios. Overall, if a seasonal capacity construct were adopted, solar resources would
receive greater accreditation during summer and much lower accreditation during winter.

Item 2.
The forecast suggests a seasonal capacity construct would not impact which resources Dover should
invest in but will affect when they are selected. Solar and solar/battery hybrid are still chosen during
the late 2020s, with additional near-term investment into bilateral capacity compared to the base case.
In this scenario, the impact on net present value is an increase of $17.6 million, largely driven by
increased bilateral capacity purchase costs and an earlier investment into solar/battery hybrid to meet
winter capacity requirements.
Scenario Analysis – High Natural Gas & Federal Carbon Future
With the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law in August 2022, the United States government has set
a goal to reduce carbon emissions by at least 40% by 2030. The Federal Carbon Future scenario aims at
determining the impact of a more aggressive carbon emissions reduction goal by the US government.
In previous analyses, the assumed financial incentive to drive carbon reduction was a carbon tax levied
on utilities for the carbon they produce when generating power using fossil fuels. In recent years,
however, the utilization of a zero-emission credit has gained traction as the financial incentive for
carbon reduction. A zero-emission credit is a rebate for each megawatt power generated from non-
carbon-emitting resources, including solar, wind, hydroelectric, and nuclear resources, along with coal
or natural gas resources with carbon capture technology.
The study's assumed carbon reduction incentive combines a zero-emission credit and an aggressive
renewable portfolio standard. These assumptions, shown below, are based on information from S&P
Global Platts and Wood Mackenzie. Both incentives are assumed to begin in 2030 and escalate yearly.
Page 33
38
Página 39
Item 2.
With this heavy subsidy for non-carbon emitting generation, the total power generated will increase,
adversely affecting power prices. The power supply is rising in this scenario but not the power demand.
Below is a comparison of Dover's annual average power price forecast for the base case and the
Federal Carbon Future scenario. In the near-term, power prices between these two scenarios are
comparable. However, the price forecast in the Federal Carbon Future through the mid-2020s
decreases and continues throughout the study.

The impact of this emissions reduction incentive is minimal on build/retirement decisions. The main
difference is the forecast delays the selection of a 50 MW solar project from 2027 to 2030. The Net
Present Value is lower in this scenario than the base case, largely due to lower power prices. Dover can
purchase power at a lower price while receiving revenues from zero-emission credit rebates.

Scenario Analysis – Base Natural Gas & High Renewable PPA Prices
In this study, purchase power agreement (PPA) rates for solar resources were assumed to change over
time. Initially, the rates reflect the near-term premium due to increased raw material costs, supply
chain issues, and tariff concerns. In the chart below, the prices reflect a utility-scale and community
scale solar PPA rate available during the year the PPA is signed. The steep decline observed from 2024-
2026 reflects a return of solar PPA rates to pre-pandemic levels. In the high renewable PPA price
scenario, the near-term issues affecting PPA rates were assumed to remain throughout the study,
resulting in an approximately $10-12/MWh increase in solar PPA rates from 2026 onward.

Item 2.
The main impact on building and retirement decisions due to higher renewable PPA prices is a reduced
investment into solar and delayed investment into solar/battery hybrid resources. While PPA prices are
sizably higher, it is still a better long-term financial option when compared to purchasing bilateral
capacity and renewable energy credits. The increase in Net Present Value ($90.3 million) is sizable
compared to the base case projection due to increased generation costs from solar resources.
Alternate Base Case Portfolio – Build Combustion Turbine
In scenario analysis, a fundamental assumption (such as higher natural gas prices or increased
renewable portfolio standards) is changed, and the forecasting model is rerun. On the other hand, an
alternate base case portfolio forces a change to the base case results and determines the financial
impact of that change. The alternate base case portfolio evaluated in this study forced a combustion
turbine to be built in 2027 to assess the increased cost of investing in a thermal generation resource
instead of strictly solar and solar/battery hybrid resources.

If a combustion turbine is built in 2027, the forecast avoids building a solar/battery hybrid resource
since it is no longer needed to meet PJM capacity requirements. In addition, the model delays
investment in solar resources. By 2030 though, the same amount of solar was selected between the
'Build Combustion Turbine' case and base case. The financial impact of investing in a combustion
turbine is a $24.5 million increase in Net Present Value throughout the study.

CONCLUSION
Over the last 12 months, Dover developed a robust plan that meets all of Dover's objectives and
reflects what we know today about the planning environment and market constraints we can
reasonably expect in the coming years. The model analyzed how to achieve the lowest-cost portfolio in
each scenario, giving Dover a sense of how the target power supply mix might change as the future
changes and delivering an optimal solution that provides flexibility for how the future evolves.
Implementing the least-cost resource plan with Dover's goals and priorities will help ensure Dover
continues to fulfill its mission to serve the community by providing affordable, reliable, and clean
power in an environmentally responsible manner to all its customers.

I. PROJECT SUMMARY:
The project proposes the construction of six (6) 3-story, 46,800 GSF garden style apartment
buildings each containing thirty-six (36) units for a total of 216 apartment units. The subject Site
Development Plan Application S-22-09 initially went before the Parks, Recreation and
Community Enhancement Committee at their March 14, 2022 meeting. However; the Applicant
did not yet have an appraised value of the property in order to assess a cash-in-lieu fee for the
deficit in Active Recreation proposed. This necessitated a return to the Committee once said
Appraised Value was determined. This subject Site Plan Application went before the Planning
Commission at their June 21, 2022 meeting where it received conditional approval pending
approval of a cash-in-lieu proposal or revision of Plans to meet the minimum Active Recreation
Requirements.
The property is currently unaddressed and was also subject to Minor Subdivision Application
SB-18-01 which divided the original 25-acre parcel into a southern 10-acre parcel and a northern
15-acre parcel, the latter of which is the Site subject to this Site Development Plan Application.
Final Plan Approval for SB-18-01 was granted in a Letter of February 13, 2020 and Recorded.
I. ACTIVE RECREATION AREA PLAN (UPDATED) SUMMARY:
The Site Development Plan as submitted by the applicant for the Apartment Complex notes
several Active Recreation features, as well as providing a calculation for the square footage of
said Active Recreation Areas on site. This information is provided to show how the Site Plan
submitted is achieving the aims set out in the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 10: Open
space, recreation, and other public facilities. Due to the property size and unit density, this
project does not qualify for any of the Active Recreation Area exemptions for small
developments under Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §10.5.
The Active Recreation Area is required at a rate of 275 SF per unit or a half acre (21,780 SF),
whichever is greater. With this project of two hundred and sixteen (216) units, the Active
Recreation Area requirement calculates to 59,400 SF which is greater than the half-acre (21,780
SF).
The Active Recreation Areas have been revised per the Check Print Review process which is
ongoing. The Revised Plans have addressed many of the previous Staff comments, and the
calculations therefrom are provided on the Cover Sheet (C-001). The notes on the Cover Sheet
identify a “Clubhouse Block” with an area of 33,566 SF near the center of the complex. This
“Block” includes the Clubhouse with pool, a Sport Court, Playground, and several interior features
like a Media Room and Pool Table. There is additionally a Dog Park shown at the center of the site
which is noted as 3,900 SF in area; however, it is noted that no features of the Dog Park are shown
other than it appears to be fenced in. Lastly, the Plans show an “Active Recreation Path” at 15,997
SF. This feature is 10-feet wide and is shown running along the north and east property lines of the
overall site.
With this updated Plan, the size of the recreation areas and amenities has been revised and
clarified. The following table provides information from the submitted Plan (as of February 8,
2023) for the Active Recreation Area as proposed:

perimeter, as well as internally
along the drive aisle and
parking lot areas. The site is
required to provide a minimum
of 218 trees. The Landscape
Plan Sheet (L-1) provides a
Tree Planting calculation noting
that 218 trees are proposed.
II. CONSIDERATION OF CASH-IN-LIEU
The applicant has made a request for consideration of Cash-in-lieu of Recreation Area
Construction. Their request seeks to pay cash-in-lieu of construction for the remaining
Recreation Area of 5,937 SF (59,400 SF – 53,463 SF). If the Planning Commission determines
that the construction of some or all of the required Active Recreation Area is not practical or
desirable, then they shall require a full or partial Cash-in-Lieu donation for the portion of the
Active Recreation Area determined as not practical or desirable. The applicant would be required
to make a cash donation to the City’s Parkland Reserve Fund in lieu of the required recreation
area. Previous action by the Planning Commission accepted the concept for Cash-in-lieu. This
Report provides the updated Recreation Area Plan with the revised figure of Active Recreation
proposed, and the subsequent area of deficiency.
Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §10 addresses Open Space, Recreation and Other Public Facilities
outlines the calculation of the amount for cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction.
For the calculation of the amount of the cash donation, the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §10.173
Amount of cash donation specifies that the “cash donation shall be equivalent to the appraised
value of land area required…” and that land area value shall be “based on the appraisal prepared
for the developer to secure construction financing.”
The applicant has submitted the Appraisal documents (dated February 8, 2023) noting an
appraised value of the Site as being $130,000 per acre. This would translate to approximately
$2.98 per square foot. With a noted deficit of 5,937 SF, this would make the Cash-in-Lieu Fee
$2.98 x 5,937 SF = $17,718.31.
III. REVIEW PROCESS
The Planning Office has prepared this Active Recreation Area Report outlining the Updated
Recreation Area proposal and noting the request for Cash-in-lieu donation. The Parks,
Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee will need to consider the proposed Active

Recreation Area and the proposed Cash-in-lieu of Recreation Area payment request and make a
recommendation. The Planning Commission must act to accept the Recreation Area Plan and the
Cash-in-lieu donation as part of its review of the Site Development Plan. If the amount of the
Cash-in-Lieu payment can not be calculated then this will require future review.
As noted, the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee initially reviewed the
Recreation Area Plan and the Consideration for the Cash-in-lieu for Dover Apartment on Leipsic
Road at their meeting on June 14, 2022; however, no appraisal value or monetary figure were
provided at that time. The Planning Commission Public Hearing and Review of the Site
Development Plan S-22-09 originally occurred on June 21, 2022 where it received conditional
approval. The Recreation Area Plan/Consideration of Cash-in-lieu Amount is scheduled for
March 14, 2023 and is scheduled to return to the Planning Commission for their April 17, 2023
meeting.
IV. CODE CITATIONS:
Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix B – Zoning, Article 5 – Supplementary Regulations,
Section 10 – Open Space, Recreation and Other Public Facilities (select excerpts).
Article 5 Section 10
Section 10. - Open space, recreation and other public facilities.
The City of Dover shall require the reservation of open space, recreation and other public facilities in
accordance with the provisions of this section as a condition of approval for all one-family dwelling, two-
family dwelling and multiple-family dwelling residential developments requiring conditional use approval,

case shall the commission require that more than ten percent of the gross area of the
development be so dedicated or reserved when the gross area is greater than five acres.
10.17 Cash in lieu of recreation area construction.
10.171 Determination of suitability for cash donation. If the commission determines that
the construction of recreation is not practical due to close proximity to existing available
recreation facilities or infeasible due to natural characteristics of the land or will not
benefit the residents of the development, the commission shall require a full or partial
cash in lieu of areas of donation to be made by the developer in lieu of a full or partial
dedication of land.
10.172 Separate recreation account. The cash donation shall be deposited in a

submitted appraisal shall be a copy of the original supplied to the lending institution, with
that institution identified, and shall conform in all ways to the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal practice and be performed by an appropriately qualified certified
appraiser. If an appraisal prepared for construction financing is not available, then the
developer shall have an appraisal done in accordance with the procedures set forth in
[sub]section 10.174.
10.174 Appeal of appraised value. If the city does not accept the land value established
by the appraisal detailed in [sub]section 10.173, the city may, at the developer's expense,

dedication, or cash donations provided under this section must be submitted to, and approved by the
parks, recreation, and community enhancement committee of the City of Dover, and shall be subject to
final review and approval by [the] city council.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are comments and recommendations from Staff of the Planning Office following
review of the Active Recreation Area Plan and Request for Consideration of Cash-in-lieu.
1) Cash-in-Lieu/Area Deficiency: The proposed plan presents three (3) areas as Active
Recreation Area – the “Clubhouse Block,” the “Active Recreation Pathway,” and the Dog
Park. With 216 units proposed the total required Active Recreation Area is 59,400 SF
and what is proposed is an area of 53,463 SF, a deficit of 5,937 SF (0.14 ac).
a. The Applicant has submitted a Cash-in-Lieu Request, as well as an Appraisal
dated February 8, 2023. The Appraisal as submitted notes an appraised value of the
subject site at $130,000 per acre.
b. Planning Staff has calculated the Cash in Lieu Fee. Per the figure provided, the
appraised value of the land translates to $2.98 per square foot. With a deficiency of
5,937 SF, this would constitute a Cash-in-lieu fee of $17,718.31.
c. Planning Staff supports the concept for a Partial Cash-in-Lieu Fee. Staff notes that the

Property is constrained by Site considerations such as parking, tree planting and
landscaping, and stormwater management facilities. The Site also is subject to the
SWPOZ (Stormwater Protection Overlay Zone Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Area),
which has added impervious Lot Coverage restrictions. A portion of the Site is also
designed as a connecting access drive to an adjoining commercial property.
Despite this, the Applicant has done much to provide a variety of Recreational Areas.
They are proposing both indoor (Fitness Gym, Media Room) and outdoor (Pool,
Sport Court, Fire Pit, Car Wash Station, Active Recreation Path and Dog Park)
Recreation Areas.
2) Active Recreation Area: As a residential development, there is a requirement for Active
Recreation Area(s). The project proposes a Clubhouse with Pool, Sport Court, Playground,
Car Wash Station, Fire Pit and additional recreation features interior to the building. There is
also a Dog Park (features thereof not specified), as well as an Active Recreation Area
Pathway along the east and south of the property. The Updated Plans appear to show fairly
direct access from the apartment buildings to the main Clubhouse block and Dog Park and
have been revised to show that handicap-accessible ramps are to be provided at all sidewalk/
curb connections with the drive-aisles/ parking lots. The Site overall also appears to be
fenced-in at the the perimeter. Bicycle Rack locations are clearly shown on the Plans noting
space for five (5) bicycles each.
Additional design information and amenities are necessary to clarify these site improvements
to serve a development of this size (216 apartment units). Planning staff is encouraged by the
variety of on-site recreation opportunities proposed for the residents.
Staff Recommends the following regarding this Recreation Area:
a. Clubhouse Block: A Site Plan/ Floor Plan have been provided identifying features of
the Clubhouse and vicinity. The Updated Plans are not consistent between the Site
Plan Set, and Clubhouse Block Plan. Plans should be revised to show these facilities
being fully handicap accessible and providing ADA compliant sidewalks. Pedestrian
access overall should reflect the Site Plan, ensuring that there are linkages to
sidewalks, and that pedestrian crossings at drive-aisles are both sufficient in number
and clearly marked.
The Updated Plans do show parking in the vicinity of the Clubhouse that would
appear to be specific to the Clubhouse, including handicap parking spaces.
b. Dog Park: The size of the Dog Park has been identified as being 3,900 SF. However,
features within the Dog Park itself should still be identified. It appears that a fence is
proposed around the perimeter, but there should be landscaping as well as benches
and dog waste stations with appropriate facilities for disposal thereof.
c. Playground: Plans submitted show that there are features proposed for an area
identified as the playground, but further information should be provided as to what
material is intended for the ground cover. The Playground does not show any

pedestrian connectivity except for a sidewalk that leads directly to a drive aisle.
Sidewalk connectivity should be improved in the immediate vicinity to the
Clubhouse.
d. Sport Court: The Sport Court appears to show features indicating use as a Basketball
Court (Basketball Rim and striping), as well as a Pickelball Court. This Court would
seem to offer sufficient options for residents.
e. Bicycle Parking: The Plans have been revised and appear to show that there is bicycle
parking being provided near every apartment building but does not appear to show
one at every apartment building. Clarify information about any possible bicycle
parking facilities internal to any apartment building and note on the Plan. There
should be bicycle parking provided at the Clubhouse/ Dog Park Areas with details
provided as to the type of bicycle parking facilities to be provided.
f. Pedestrian Connectivity: The Plans have been revised to show sidewalks present
along the Leipsic Road frontage and west entrance drive (shared with commercial
development). Sidewalks are also being shown internally along the drive-aisles and
connecting the apartment buildings to the Recreation Areas. The internal pedestrian
circulation is also well connected to the Active Recreation Walking Pathway along
the south and east property lines.
g. Active Recreation Walking Pathway: The Plans have been revised to show an Active
Recreation Pathway along the east and south property lines of the site. The path is
noted as being 10 feet in width and provides a connection the Clubhouse Block as
well as links at either end to the Leipsic Road frontage, and the new access drive for
the commercial development to the west.
II. ADVISORY COMMENTS
1) The Site Development Plan set including any floor plans depicting the Recreational Area in
the Clubhouse are to include appropriate improvements, plans, and details of the Recreation
Area as approved.
2) If approved, the proposed cash-in-lieu fee of $17,718.31 will need to be submitted prior to
the issuance of any Certificates of Occupancy for the subject site. Once submitted, the cash-
in-lieu donation will be deposited in the City’s Parkland Reserve Fund account.
3) There shall be provisions which ensure that the community space (all areas under
consideration for Active Recreation Areas) shall continue as such and be properly managed
and maintained. The developer shall either retain ownership and responsibility for
maintenance of the common use areas or provide for and establish one (1) or more
organizations for the ownership and maintenance of all common space i.e. a Homeowners
Association. The organization shall be responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes on
the community space.
4) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Plan occur in the finalization of the Plan

contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of buildings, relocation of site
components, changes in floor area or unit count, or design revisions impacting Active
Recreation Areas. These changes may require resubmission for review by the Development
Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making
recommendations in regard to the plan.
5) The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee shall submit to the
Planning Commission a report detailing the recommendations as to the Updated Recreation
Area Plan for Consideration of Cash-in-Lieu.

Proposed Residential Development
Each Apartment Building consists of six floors with the first floor as parking and the floors 2-6
as residential. The apartment buildings depict the first floor (ground level) as parking and several
entrance points to the building including a main lobby with elevator (found at building interior
corner location) and other elevator and stair towers. The residential floors of each Building show
a mix of studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom units and also a Yoga/Game Room per floor. Each
apartment includes an inset balcony space.
Site Considerations
The subject site includes woodland areas, areas of wetlands, and Special Flood Hazard Areas
(floodplain). The Zoning Ordinance contains provisions that regulate, and place limitations
related to these features. A maximum of 50% of the woodland on a property may be cleared for
development. This site has 23.14 acres of woodland and will preserve 19.65 acres of woodland
(84.9%). Wetland areas over 0.25 acres in size require a buffer; a 50-foot riparian buffer will be
established adjacent to the wetland areas. The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §11.21 requires that
flood hazard areas (1% Annual Chance Flood/100-year floodplain) remain as open natural areas
with no impervious surfaces. The proposed development activity is not located within wetlands
or floodplain areas.
It is also noted that the RG-5 zone requires that 25% of the lot area (property) be an open area
which is not parking areas. For the subject property, at total of 923,907 SF (69.5%) is open space
(not buildings, parking, or other impervious surfaces).
II. ACTIVE RECREATION AREA PLAN SUMMARY:
The Site Development Plan set as submitted by the applicant for the College Road Apartments at
Railroad Avenue consists of multiple plan sheets including an Active Recreation Area Plan. This
information is provided to show how the Plan is achieving the aims set out in the Zoning
Ordinance, Article 5 Section 10: Open space, recreation, and other public facilities.
The Active Recreation Area is required at a rate of 275 SF per unit or a half-acre (21,780 SF),
whichever is greater. With this project of 385 units, the Active Recreation Area requirement
calculates to 105,875 SF (2.43 acres) which is greater than the half-acre (21,780 SF). Additionally,

Item 5.
S-23-06: College Road Apartments at Railroad Avenue: Active Recreation Area Plan
Report to Parks, Recreation & Community Development Committee - March 14, 2023
Page 3 of 6
the Zoning Ordinance limits the recreation area requirement to 10% of the development area. The
development area was calculated from the overall lot size of 30.50 acres minus the wetlands area
of 14.32 acres; this results in a development area of 16.18 acres for the property. Thus, the
maximum Active Recreation Area required is 1.618 acres. The Active Recreation Areas proposed
are shown within the Plan set and specifically on the Active Recreation Plan (Sheet 10 of 10; as
revised 3/2/2023). See Summary Table below of Active Recreation Areas.

V. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are comments and recommendations from staff of the Planning Office following
review of the Active Recreation Area Plan.
1) Active Recreation Area: As a residential development, there is a requirement for Active
Recreation area(s) and the project has proposed areas to satisfy the required size of 1.618 SF.
Staff Recommends the following regarding these Recreation Areas:
a. Multi-Sport Courts: The Multi-Sport Court appears to show features indicating for paved
surface with markings and select equipment. Clarify the materials used for court areas.
i. Add connecting path to this area from the Walking Trail to allow for
wheelchair and stroller access.
b. Sand Volleyball Court: Placement is nearby to Multi-Sport Court and may be able to
share seating options.
c. Picnic Pavilion: The design includes a sidewalk connection to the trail and ADA
compliant picnic tables.
i. Clarify if other equipment like grills will be provided.
d. Walking Trails: There are two trail systems: a Paved Trail adjacent to the parking lot area
and a Woodland Walking Trail.
i. Clarify surface material, width, and edge treatment of the trails.
e. Outdoor Fitness Stations: Plans submitted show that there are proposed features
identified as fitness areas placed within a wooded area.
i. Clarify surface treatments.
2) Bicycle Parking: Bicycle parking is located at each of the Apartment Buildings. If any Bike
Parking facilities are proposed internal to the buildings, then the Plans should note as such.
a) Staff recommends adding bike racks near the recreation amenities at the end of the
parking lot cul-de-sac.
3) Identify locations of any benches for seating at recreation amenities and along trails.
4) Adequate Lighting for the Site: The Plan shows site lighting as pole fixtures within and
adjacent to parking lots and apartment building. Clarify if there is any trail level lighting for
the Woodland Walking Trail.
5) Landscape Plan:
a) Label the tree species on the plan drawings; the use of graphic depictions for each tree
66
Página 67
Item 5.
S-23-06: College Road Apartments at Railroad Avenue: Active Recreation Area Plan
Report to Parks, Recreation & Community Development Committee - March 14, 2023
Page 6 of 6
specific is difficult to read/review. Also label the shrub plantings for clarity.
a) The Landscape Plan must include certification note and signature/seal of authorized
design professional (Landscape architect, architect, or Delaware Certified Nursery
Professional).
b) Tree placements providing shade to recreation amenity areas is encouraged.
c) There a several conflicts of tree placement with other site improvements i.e., garage
building, light poles, parking lot, plantings within existing woodland areas, etc.
2) Tree Plantings: Planning Staff encourages the use of native tree species especially in areas
adjacent to the existing woodland areas to remain and due to the project’s proximity to area
of the Fork Branch Nature Preserve. The applicant is recommended to consult with DNREC
Staff on appropriate tree species for this area.
6) The subject property is adjacent to State parkland that is part of the Fork Branch Nature
Preserve. Recommendations were made as part of the PLUS (Preliminary Land Use
Services) Review process regarding this proximity.
a) Add fencing and other recommended protection measures along the north property line
adjacent to the State park area. Implement Nature Preserve signage as recommended by
DNREC.
VI. ADVISORY COMMENTS
1) This Site Development Plan set depicting the Recreational Areas are to include appropriate
improvements, plans, and details of the Active Recreation Area as approved.
2) There shall be provisions which ensure that the community space (all areas under
consideration for Active Recreation Areas) shall continue as such and be properly managed
and maintained. The developer shall either retain ownership and responsibility for
maintenance of the common use areas or provide for and establish one (1) or more
organizations for the ownership and maintenance of all common space i.e., a Homeowners
Association or other property management entity. The organization shall be responsible for
maintenance, insurance, and taxes on the community space.
3) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Plan occur in the finalization of the Plan
contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of buildings, relocation of site
components, changes in floor area or unit count, or design revisions impacting Active
Recreation Areas. These changes may require resubmission for review by the Development
Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making
recommendations in regard to the plan.
4) The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee shall submit to the
Planning Commission a report detailing the recommendations as to the Recreation Area Plan.

WHEREAS, based on the advice of counsel and consideration of the New National Opioid

NOW, THEREFORE: BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Dover is authorized and directed to
take and perform all acts necessary to participate in the New National Opioid Settlements with
Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart, including the execution of any Participation
Form(s), the release of claims, dismissal notices, or such other documents or forms as may be
necessary (collectively the “Participation Forms”) for Dover to participate in each of the New

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and/or City Manager are designated as
Authorized Signatories for purposes of this Resolution, and each is individually vested with all
requisite authority necessary to execute the required Participation Forms.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Dover acknowledges through execution of the

agreements shall be treated in accordance with Section (3) of the ROADS MAP Agreement.
Further, the City of Dover acknowledges that references in the ROADS MAP Agreement to the
