CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2025 Item 2. OLD BUSINESS Requests for Extensions of Planning Commission Approval: None NEW BUSINESS S-25-10 Dover Industrial Phase 2: Warehouses at 350 Lafferty Lane – Public Hearing and Review of a Site Development Plan Application for the Phase 2 construction of two Warehouse Buildings: Building B of 45,000 SF and Building C of 133,000 SF (totaling 178,000 SF for Phase 2) with site improvements. Phase 1 of the project consists of Multi-Tenant Flex Warehouse Building A of 54,000 SF. The property is zoned M (Manufacturing Zone) and is subject to the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone): Accident Potential Zones I & II. The property consists of 19.74 acres. The property is located on the north side of Lafferty Lane, approximately one-quarter mile west of Horsepond Road. The owner of record is Dover Industrial, LLC. Property Address: 350 Lafferty Lane. Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-077.16-02- 05.00-000. Council District 2. PLUS Review #2024-08-08. For Consideration: Performance Standards Review Application and Tree Mitigation Plan. Phase 1 of this project was approved with Site Plan S-24-13 Flex Use Facilities Commercial Warehouse. Representatives: Mr. Brett Davis; DS Development; Mr. Travis Martin, DS Development Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this application is for the Dover Industrial Phase 2 Warehouses at 350 Lafferty Lane. This is a project property that is zoned M (Manufacturing Zone) and also subject to the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone). Specially, the area shown on the screen in blue is the Phase 2 area that we are concentrating on this evening. The Phase 1 area is shown in a light red color. That was previously Application S-24-13 Flex Use Facilities Commercial Warehouse and that project was reviewed in the fall of 2024; and it is under permit for construction at the present time. This project for Phase 2 is for the development of what is labeled Building B of 45,000 SF and Building C which is much larger at 133,000 SF. These are to the north of what is the Phase 1 Area. The Phase 1 Area included Building A and then improvements to expand the stormwater management facility found on the eastern portion of the project site. The project was reviewed previously through the Preliminary Land Use Services (PLUS) review process back in August 2024. With this project zoned M (Manufacturing Zone), there are specific uses that are allowed in the Manufacturing Zone and there are also uses that are specifically prohibited. Certain types of manufacturing are not allowed. Additionally, when it comes to uses, we have to look at the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone). There are some limitations as to maximum height in that zoning overlay and then additionally all uses of the buildings. Various tenants that may end up in these spaces must comply with the land use compatibility table in the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone). The general use as warehouses may be generally allowed but more specifically what they are housing? We have to look carefully at those two zonings, the M (Manufacturing Zone) and AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone), to confirm compliance for that use. For the site development, overall it requires 290 parking spaces which they are depicting. There is kind of banks for parking that are proposed here in Phase 2 between the two buildings. Then each of the Buildings B and C have one face of the building that is a series of loading spaces to access the loading docks. On this screen, Building B would have that on the right hand side which is the south elevation and 2 6

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2025 Item 2. Building C which is the building on left, has it on its north elevation. Additionally, the project is providing bicycle parking. The applicant did provide a general view of architecture for the building. It is basically a tall one-story building. It has a very low slope roof. The images for where tenant entry doors would be located tend to be highlighted at the corners and some central locations along the long walls. Then you can see that the other face of the building is the loading dock area which would have select locations for the roll up door scenario. Basically, it’s a metal building with some detailing given by color and those added features at entry point locations. Going back to the site, this site shares an access with its neighbor at 300 Lafferty Lane. That entrance was previously designed and built in anticipation of this expansion here on 350 Lafferty Lane. The sidewalks will be constructed along the frontage of Lafferty Lane and then there is an internal sidewalk network along the front of the buildings to bring you from the parking lot to those spaces. Planning Staff has also commented to make sure there is a sidewalk linkage from the Building A area to get to Buildings B and C. Additionally, they are providing upright curbing and stormwater management is being handled with the expansion of a facility there on the east side of the property. Moving on to the tree planting and landscaping aspects of this project, part of this site actually included a wooded area. Our Code has a maximum of clearing 50% of the woodland. In combination, the green and red areas on the screen show the existing woodland on this property prior to proposals for development. The red is what will be cleared as part of the proposed project. They are retaining more than 50% of the existing woodland on the property with the project. Additionally, there are tree planting requirements. For their development area, they are required to have one tree per 3,000 SF of that development area. Basically for this project site, a total of 234 trees are required. For Phase 1, their plan showed planting of about 27 trees. They are proposing planting of 33 trees, so that is a total of 60 trees onsite. If you are doing your math, that means there is a deficiency of 174 trees. With this request, they are making a request for a Tree Mitigation Plan and have asked to work with the City of Dover to identify locations on City owned property for the planting of those remaining trees. Planning Staff notes that the Planning Office, along with the City Manager’s Office and the Department of Parks and Recreation have been working towards creating a location planting list. We have been evaluating opportunities within City Parks, and select street tree plantings that may need replacement; so, we are working with that. Ultimately, the applicant will have to enter into an agreement with the City of Dover to make that happen. The applicant would be responsible for the cost of doing those tree plantings and caring for them for a period of at least one year. Tonight, Planning Commission needs to take action on that Tree Mitigation Plan and whether that is amenable to this project. The Zoning Ordinance gives you the ability to consider Tree Mitigation Plans. The project also has some other landscape related requirements. There is a small area that is adjacent to a residential property. It is primarily in Phase 1, but there is an opaque barrier requirement of a fence and landscaping. It looks like some of that landscaping is to be existing vegetation to remain. So we are asking for some clarification on that. There are several wetland areas on the property that they are not impacting; however, they are looking to reduce the riparian buffer to a distance of 30 feet from that wetland area and will need to be establishing and maintaining vegetation in that buffer area. The last item associated with the application is a Performance Standards Review. With certain activities within our industrial zones, there are a series of objectionable elements that the project 3 7

Página 8

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2025 Item 2. must prove that they are not creating. As part of their narrative statement, they made some statements about the construction process but any of the tenants that may end up at this site also need to abide by these Performance Standards as well. Those objectionable elements are things like noise, smoke, fire, explosive hazards, glare, and other airborne particles. A lot of the times, some of those things are actually controlled by other permitting processes. So depending on if there is a manufacturer, some of that may be controlled by DNREC permitting additionally. The Development Advisory Committee Report includes the Staff comments from the Planning Office as well as the comments from the other regulatory agencies that are entered here into the record by reference. The Planning Staff notes that tonight, you are considering two items in addition to the Site Plan. One is the Tree Mitigation Plan and then the Performance Standards Review Application. The other agencies providing comments include the Department of Water/Wastewater and Public Works and the Fire Marshal’s Office for the City. In this case, DelDOT reviewed the entrance to the neighboring property that serves this one previously so that approval is already in place. Also, the Kent Conservation District, a lot of their stormwater management design was part of Phase 1 but there are some clarifying things that they have asked for with Phase 2. The Dover/Kent County MPO as provided some comments as has the Dover Air Force Base given the proximity to the Air Base and the location of the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone). The comments from the Air Force Base did reference a number of documents and we have only included executive summaries of those in your packet. We do have the full documents and they were provided to the applicants previously. Mr. Davis stated that he and his partner Mr. Travis Martin are building this park. What you will notice is that we have completed in the first approvals all of the site work for the project. In Phase 1, we built the stormwater pond which is done and we just finished the foundations for the first building. That building is already a third leased. We have a HVAC manufacturer that’s a national company moving into Delaware. They will take 15,000 SF and we have several other users that we are in conversations with. What we are looking to do in Phase 2, starting with the smaller 40,000 SF building. The goal is not to have any crazy, different uses. Mr. Martin actually built the Frankford Industrial Park if you see that along Route 113; so it’s the same general concept here. Please note that when it comes to the trees, he wants to get some clarity as to how we got to this point. They are not cutting down more trees than the 50% allotment. He just wanted to clarify that they are not looking to cut down any extra trees; they are actually cutting down less than is necessary. Where the tree conversation came for the off-site tree mitigation was actually a suggestion from the City to him with the idea that when they started this, they thought that they were going to need to cut down additional acreage, so that was suggested. We are now at the point where we have a wide open field and when we are going back to plant these trees, we have more concrete and sidewalks and other things that are taking up spaces than we had originally anticipated. So our goal is to plant about 160 trees off-site. Based on his calculations, it is about 1/3 of an acre of trees that will be planted in a local park. Please know that this wasn’t something that they came up with in an attempt to deforest the property. You will see that it is going to have pretty good tree coverage. Mrs. Melson-Williams did mention the neighbors. They actually were at the first hearing and were a vote of support. We have also gotten them to agree that we are going to have a nice, beautiful fence put up and then on the other side of that, there will be additional trees. He feels pretty confident saying that they won’t be able to see much of our building if any because that is important. They want to be a good neighbor with a residential unit on one side. As far as going through the process with Mrs. 4 8

Página 9

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2025 Item 2. Melson-Williams, she is amazingly detailed and has been incredible at walking us through everything. Everything as it relates to DelDOT is already done, so the approval was already designed. The stormwater pond is already built for these additional buildings with all of the calculations in mind. We are already bringing in the water and sewer and the sprinkler is tied into that. So all of our utilities are actually already being brought to the site and were designed in Phase 1 with Phase 2 in mind. We are coming to the Commission tonight in hopes of having a continuation of what we started and the real goal of the project is to bring as many jobs as possible to Dover. He thinks they are so far so good. They do know that they can’t say who, but they actually already have a person that they have been in discussions with for the Phase 2 building that is definitely not a Dover business or a business form anywhere around here. It would be dozens and dozens of jobs. They would actually like to take the entire second building which is what brought us here. This week, we poured our concrete pad for the first building and they will have steel frames up starting this week. Within about a month, you will see a steel structure. Mrs. Maucher stated that she doesn’t know if she read it explicitly or if she read between the lines, that there is some concern about the number of trees that they want to plant off-site. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that in just doing the math if you look at it, there is a substantial number of trees that are having to be planted elsewhere which is somewhat unusual when it comes to the Tree Mitigation Plan. A lot of times they may see it as a quarter or less, but in this case it is the reverse. There is certainly opportunities to plan trees on City owned land but if we had every project ask to do that, then we would not have space to do so. It is somewhat of a balancing act. Their plan is different from what we saw originally. The concept originally has changed because the original concept that we saw was likely going to lead into woodland mitigation which is a whole other different tree planting need. If you clear more than 50% of the woodland on the property, then you have to recreate woodland actually at a greater rate than what you took down. They have made some attempts that way to get their woodland clearing under control. She thinks a big thing that way was changes in their stormwater approach for their project, but we are still seeing with this Plan, a fairly large number of trees that would have to be planted off-site. A lot of that is because the site itself is taken up by buildings and their associated parking areas. Mrs. Maucher asked for the Tree Mitigation Plan, do the trees have to be planted on City properties? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the Tree Mitigation requirements in our Code say they have to be planted within the City of Dover. This applicant has chosen to work directly with the City itself. We have had other projects that have had a Tree Mitigation Plan that have worked with the State or worked with another property owner that may have open land to do those plantings on. So, we have seen both and we have seen others work with the City. She will tell you that this is not the largest ask of the City for a Tree Mitigation Plan. We did have a project that was over 300 trees. Mrs. Maucher asked if that Plan was approved. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Melson- Williams stated that was out at the Garrison Energy Center when the energy center project came through. That project was a little unique in that some of their land, they could not be planting trees because of the adjacent solar field. 5 9

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2025 Item 2. Mr. Witham stated that he assumes that there is going to be a substantial number of trees that need to be planted. Does this require a separate agreement or is this part of the approval process? Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the Tree Mitigation Plan kind of has two steps. One is that the Planning Commission would have to authorize them to make use of a Tree Mitigation Plan to help meet their tree planting requirement. Secondly, there will need to be an agreement reached with the City directly about the planting of those trees. That is where the City Manager’s Office and the Department of Parks and Recreation are involved because of one, it would be the City Manager’s Office ultimately being a party to that agreement as to where and how the planting happens and the transfer of ownership from those trees being planted to into the City’s care. We have previous examples of agreements. It is not something that the Planning Commission will need to be involved in the details of that tree planting agreement, but it will be something that Planning Staff will stay in the loop with, with the City Manager’s Office. Mr. Witham stated that he takes it that we have no any adverse response from the Air Force at this point. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the Air Force Base did not really have an adverse response. They wanted to make sure that the applicant recognized that they are in our AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone) and that it has land use limitations. There is also a height limitation in this zone at sixty (60) feet. We are certainly under that with the buildings that are proposed here. The other information from the Air Force Base that was received via their Community Planner is related to that AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone) and the fact that they have some guidance about how to mitigate wildlife hazards. It is encouraging that the stormwater pond that is proposed is not a wet pond. It is basically infiltration so water is only there for a limited time before it soaks in. Standing water tends to attract birds and birds and planes don’t mix. The other documents included a Compatible Use Plan which is kind of a Comprehensive Plan for activities surrounding the Base and best practices and approaches. A lot of their information is guidance to the applicant/developer related to this project being in close proximity to the Air Force Base. Mr. Witham stated that he assumes that the applicant agrees with everything that Staff has described about the property and the additional information that may be necessary in the future. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Davis stated absolutely and they are willing to adhere to everything. He does know as far as the tree plantings, as Mrs. Melson-Williams stated, they are in a unique scenario where they bought a property that was mostly woods. To give you a perspective, this is 22 acres. It is a pretty large site and a lot of the tree planting is new trees being planted in a field. The actual concept was not mine; it was the City who presented him the idea and said there are examples in the past in which this has been approved and then they went forward with their Phase 1. As Mrs. Melson-Williams explained, it’s not an easy process but we are talking about a 1/3 of an acre to be added to a park. He just wanted to give a perspective; 160 trees is a lot of trees except for when compared to a park. He thinks they would be doing a decent public service. Please know that they didn’t come in here with this plan; they were presented the idea. This idea works really well because they are trying to maximize the footprint and unfortunately on our site, there was the stormwater from the Frito Lay facility, so they started at a detriment. It is our problem to deal with but that added to our complications for our calculations. He thinks Mrs. Melson-Williams has been really helpful in making sure that they knew all of the details in the process. We plan on not asking for any exceptions to the tenants 6 10

Página 11

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2025 Item 2. that we are going to have. In everything that we are doing, he believes has gone pretty smoothly with the planning process. They asked us to add sidewalks and a few things. We have dealt directly with the Base for our marketing and things like that for flying drones and things. We have already had to be in contact and fill out permits and all of that good stuff; and they will make sure that they continue to do so. Mr. Witham opened a public hearing. Mr. Zach Prebula – Kent Economic Partnership, 555 Bay Road Dover, DE 19901 Mr. Prebula stated that they are the economic development organization for Kent County, so they deal with business attraction, business retention, and expansion here in within Kent County. Speed to market has been crucial to attracting businesses and creating jobs. By approving this Plan, you can help create a building that will help attract those businesses and create those jobs right here in Dover. Mr. Witham closed the public hearing. Mrs. Denney moved to approve S-25-10 Dover Industrial Phase 2: Warehouses at 350 Lafferty Lane to include approval of the Tree Mitigation Plan. She thinks that it goes without saying that from testimony this evening all the ducks are in a row. Everything has been discussed and a plan has come forth with an agreement between the City Planners and the developers which sounds good to her. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Welsh. Mrs. Melson-Williams asked the motion maker to clarify with a reference to the Development Advisory Committee Report and then also with the status of the Performance Standards Review Application. Mrs. Denney stated that it is a welcomed amendment to the motion (to reference the Development Advisory Committee Report and approval of the Performance Standards Review Application), seconded by Mrs. Welsh and the motion was carried 7-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Roach and Dr. Jones absent. Mrs. Denney voting yes; she thinks the continuation of this Plan is an excellent idea. Everything looks so good so far and it’s an excellent use for this particular property. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; based on DAC comments and recommendations. Mr. Baldwin voting yes. Mr. Reaves voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; in conjunction with Mrs. Denney’s comments and she too thinks it’s a great use of the site. Mr. Lewis voting yes. Mr. Witham voting yes; thanks to the comments previously submitted and he thinks it’s a welcomed use for this particular piece of property. He assumes this is completes the phasing of the project as well, so he thinks it is an excellent use of the property. NEW BUSINESS Annual Meeting of the Planning Commission (Nomination and Election of Officers and Appointments to Subcommittees) Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that July is considered the Annual Meeting of the Planning Commission. At such meeting, per your By-laws you are to elect from your membership, a Chair 7 11

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2025 Item 2. and Vice-Chair for the Commission to serve for the next year. Your By-laws have a couple of things that she wants to note. Any of the balloting is to be by secret ballot which they are prepared to do unless you adopt a motion to do otherwise. The Chair and Vice-Chair are term limited to four (4) consecutive one-year terms. Mr. Witham has only served you for a year so he is not term limited at the moment. Mr. Witham asked if they need to consider whether the members want to do a ballot vote. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that you may want to start with that if you feel comfortable dispensing with the method of voting by secret ballot. Someone can put forth a motion to dispense that and vote by voice vote. Mrs. Maucher moved to vote by voice vote in lieu of the secret ballot vote, seconded by Mrs. Denney and the motion was carried by voice vote (7-0) with Mr. Roach and Dr. Jones absent. Mrs. Maucher moved to nominate Mr. Witham for the position of Chair, seconded by Mrs. Denney. Mr. Witham accepted the nomination. Mrs. Denney moved to close the nominations for the position of Chair, seconded by Mrs. Welsh. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that since Mr. Witham is the only candidate, we can confirm with that motion that you are appointed the Chair. Mrs. Maucher moved to nominate Mrs. Denney for the position of Vice-Chair; she has done an outstanding job and should carry on, seconded by Mrs. Welsh, then all in favor by voice vote (7- 0) with Mr. Roach and Dr. Jones absent. Mrs. Denney accepted the nomination. Mrs. Welsh moved to close the nominations for the position of Vice-Chair, seconded by Mrs. Maucher, approved by all in favor by voice vote with Mr. Roach and Dr. Jones absent. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that as part of your Annual Meeting, the Zoning Ordinance includes provisions related to the appointment of an Architectural Review Oversight Subcommittee of the Planning Commission. This is a Committee that is seated in the case of if there are significant concerns with the architecture of a project, then a project could be referred to that Subcommittee to kind of sort things out and bring it back to the Planning Commission. The Zoning Ordinance very particularly notes the makeup of that Committee. It includes the Mayor or the Mayor’s designee, two Planning Commission members and then two members of the design profession as well as the opportunity to list alternative design professionals. At this point in time, you may want to figure out which Planning Commission members to serve on that Subcommittee and then we will talk about the design professionals. Mr. Witham stated that previously, the Commission members were Mrs. Welsh and Mr. Roach. 8 12

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2025 Item 2. Mrs. Maucher moved to approve that Mrs. Welsh and Mr. Roach continue on the Subcommittee as she presumes that there is no time limit for those positions, seconded by Mr. Lewis and the motion was carried by voice vote with Mr. Roach and Dr. Jones absent. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the other component is for two members that are design professionals. In the past, we have had Dr. RJ Chandler who has served as a faculty member at Delaware Technical and Community College in their architecture program and then Ms. Sarah Keifer who is the Director of Planning Services for Kent County. In the past, if you are willing to have those individuals continue, what Planning Staff can do is reach out to them to confirm their ability to serve in those roles. You can certainly put forth other names if you have other individuals that you think would be appropriate in that case as well. Mr. Witham stated that he is not sure of in the past if we have actually had to utilize their expert services or not. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that in the time that she has been here, there has been one project referred to the Architectural Review Oversight Subcommittee and prior to her start with the City, there was one other project. The Subcommittee has not had to meet extensively but we do need to put individuals in place should that need arise. Mrs. Maucher moved to approve Staff to contact the two existing design professionals to determine if they enjoy continuing on the Subcommittee, seconded by Mrs. Welsh and the motion was carried by voice vote with Mr. Roach and Dr. Jones absent. Mr. Witham asked if they would need to have another meeting to vote on them if they are willing to continue to serve on the Subcommittee. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that they would just bring back that reporting at your next meeting. We would not call a special meeting just to get them in place. Meeting adjourned at 8:03 PM. Sincerely, Kristen Mullaney Secretary 9 13

Item 3. City of Dover CITY OF DOVER Planning Office DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY D.A.C. MEETING DATE: September 3, 2025 APPLICATION: Lands of Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision): Conceptual Subdivision Plan, FILE #: SB-25-02C REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning CONTACT PERSON: Dawn Melson-Williams, AICP PHONE #: (302) 736-7196 I. PLAN SUMMARY This Application is for the Review of a Conceptual Subdivision Plan to create five (5) lots and one residual lot from 2 existing parcels totaling 4.5754 acres to be known as Ekaman Subdivision (SB-25-02). The proposed subdivision is to consist of five residential lots with the residual for stormwater management area. The proposal includes the extension and addition of a cul-de-sac to the existing street right-of-way of Jefferson Terrace. The larger parcel is zoned R- 10 (One Family Residence Zone), and the additional parcel is zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) with both being located south of but not adjacent to Wyoming Avenue and west of Monroe Terrace. Property Address: unaddressed on Jefferson Terrace extension (part of which is referenced as 3.8904 acres of Wyoming Avenue Rear). Property Owners: Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC. Tax Parcels: ED-05-077.17-06-02.01-000 & ED-05-077.17-06- 13.00-000. Council District 2. II. PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS The most recent Application in 2024 involving the properties was Conceptual Subdivision Plan SB-24-01C that proposed to create six (6) lots consisting of five residential lots with the residual lot for stormwater management from 2 existing parcels totaling 4.5754 acres to be known as Ekaman Subdivision. The Planning Commission denied the application on August 19, 2024. Previously, a Conceptual Subdivision Plan SB-23-01C was conditionally approved by Planning Commission in March 2023. Involving only the larger 4.2311-acre tract (ED-05-077-17-06-02.01- 000), Plan SB-23-01C proposed subdivision of six (6) lots from an existing parcel totaling 4.2311 acres. The proposed subdivision was to consist of four residential lots, a stormwater management area lot, and a residual lot for residential use along with the extension and addition of a cul-de-sac to the existing street right-of-way of Jefferson Terrace. The project sought waiver requests for alternative lot configuration, reduced lot frontage, increased percentage of lots on a cul-de-sac, and partial elimination of sidewalk. After unsuccessful attempts for the waivers and no preliminary plan submission, the plan expired without being finalized. In 2013, there was Application SB-13-06 The Meadow Subdivision at Jefferson Terrace that was proposed to subdivide a tract of land totaling 4.23 acres ± into five (5) parcels for single family 15

Item 3. SB-25-02C Conceptual Subdivision Plan for Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision) DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 2 detached dwellings with residual land. The Plan, submitted as The Meadow, was renamed to Jefferson Terrace to avoid replication with another residential subdivision. It was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their November 2013 meeting and received conditional approval of the Conceptual Subdivision Plan SB-13-06. The required Preliminary Subdivision Plan was submitted for review by the Planning Commission at their February 2014 meeting. However, the Application SB-13-06P was postponed by the Planning Commission at the request of the Applicant and did not return for review. The Subdivision Plan SB-13-06 was never finalized and has since expired. In 2012, the Planning Staff administratively reviewed a Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plan (Application MI-12-10) and granted its approval on June 5, 2012 (recorded June 12, 2012). The land south of 324 Wyoming Avenue with frontage on Jefferson Terrace and Monroe Terrace (the current larger subject parcel) was divided from the parcel that included the existing dwelling at 324 Wyoming Avenue and aligned its rear property line with adjacent residential parcels. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION – Major Subdivision This Major Subdivision Plan proposes to subdivide the existing large tract (Parcel 2.01) and an adjacent parcel (Parcel 13.00). The Plan identifies Lots 1-5 as being for residential development. The Residual parcel is mostly interior to the overall subject site with some frontage on Monroe Terrace; it is to be used for a stormwater management area due to the location of a stream and associated floodplain and woodland areas. This Residual Lot is the southernmost parcel proposed and is to contain a 20-foot cross-access easement for a residential property located to the southwest of the subject site that does not have frontage on any public right of way. This adjacent parcel is therefore accessed only via a driveway (Mallard Drive) across the subject property, connecting from Monroe Terrace. See Chart below for description of proposed Lots: Site Zoning Proposed Lot Size Proposed Use Lot 1 R-8 0.4714 acres+/- Residential R-10 (20,536.1 SF +/-) (One-Family Detached Dwelling Unit) Lot 2 R-10 0.2795 acres+/- Residential (12,173.5 SF +/-) (One-Family Detached Dwelling Unit) Lot 3 R-10 0.4693 acres+/- Residential (20,440.7 SF +/-) (One-Family Detached Dwelling Unit) Lot 4 R-10 0.6211 acres+/- Residential (27,055.0 SF +/-) (One-Family Detached Dwelling Unit) Lot 5 R-10 0.4446 acres+/- Residential (19,365.4 SF +/-) (One-Family Detached Dwelling Unit) Residual R-10 2.1016 acres+/- Stormwater Management Area (91,545.1SF +/-) Right-of- -- Clarify size of Cul-de-Sac as terminus to Jefferson way additional ROW Street Extension dedication TOTAL 4.5754 acres +/- As shown above, apart from the existing legal non-conforming frontage existing for the proposed Residual parcel on Monroe Terrace, the Lots proposed appear to be compliant with the Zoning 16

Item 3. SB-25-02C Conceptual Subdivision Plan for Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision) DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 3 and Bulk Standards for the R-10 Zone and R-8 Zone. The five (5) residential proposed lots have frontage on the proposed Jefferson Terrace Extension, which will also be the main points of access to the properties. The Residual Lot will be utilizing the existing legal non-conforming frontage of the property along Monroe Terrace. There is a proposed maintenance easement across Lot 5 related to stormwater management purposes. It is noted that there is an alley along the western boundary of the subject property, but this is unimproved and is not utilized for any type of access. IV. SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS REVIEW The procedures for subdivision of land are found in the Land Subdivision Regulations, (Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix A). Planning Staff confirms this application as a Major Subdivision. As such, the Application will require the submission and review of a Conceptual Subdivision Plan by the Planning Commission first, which is this subject Application. For the next step, the Applicant will then be required to submit a Preliminary Layout Subdivision Plan for further Planning Commission review and approval. The last step is submission of a Plat for Final Approval by Planning Staff (and DAC Agencies) and recordation at the Kent County Recorder of Deeds. To subdivide the properties, the plan review must ensure that the subdivision does not create any new non-conformities with the bulk standards of the Zoning Ordinance. These bulk standards include minimum lot size, front yard setbacks, side yard setbacks, rear yard setbacks, lot coverage, etc. See also discussion below under Zoning Review. V. ZONING REVIEW R-10 (One-Family Residence Zone) and R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone) The subject properties are zoned R-10 (One-Family Residence Zone) and R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) and are subject to the regulations of Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §1 and Article 4 §4.1. The use as a one-family detached dwelling-unit (single-family home) is a permitted use in the R-10 Zone and in the R-8 Zone. The proposed Lots largely comply with the Zoning Bulk Provisions as noted in Article 4 §4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. The following Table highlights some of the lot design standards for the R-10 Zone and R-8 Zone: MINIMUM REQUIRED: R-10 ONE FAMILY R-8 ONE FAMILY RESIDENCE ZONE RESIDENCE ZONE Lot Area 10,000 SF 8,000 SF Lot Width (ft.) 80 ft. 70 ft. Lot Depth (ft.) 110 ft. 100 ft. Front yard setback (ft.) 25 ft. 25 ft. Minimum Side yard setback (ft.) 15 ft. 10 ft. Total both Side Yards (ft.) 30 ft. 20 ft. Rear yard setback (ft.) 30 ft. 30 ft.

Item 3. SB-25-02C Conceptual Subdivision Plan for Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision) DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 4 Ordinance, Article 5 §1.7 Uniformity of design in all one-family residence zones. These provisions limit construction of buildings that are like or substantially like a neighboring building to prevent monotony of architectural design. Subdivision Waiver Request: Increase Percentage of Lots on Cul-de-sac Per the Land Subdivision Regulations, a maximum of 20% of the lots in a development are allowed to front on the turnaround section of a cul-de-sac. This version of the Subdivision consists of a total of five lots and the residual and has four lots frontage on the cul-de-sac. Lots 2, 3, 4, and 5 have frontage on the curved line of the cul-de-sac. The Planning Commission will need to provide a recommendation on this Waiver Request. VI. STREETS The Subdivision Plan proposes an extension of Jefferson Terrace as a public street leading to the west from Monroe Terrace. There is existing right-of-way (approximately 60 feet wide with some variation in width) for a portion of the street. The extension of Jefferson Terrace is proposed to terminate in a cul-de-sac. This length of a dead-end street must comply with the maximum length permitted (400 feet). The right-of-way for the street must be sixty (60) feet of width. The width of the paved street is not provided, but the estimated width does not appear to allow for on-street parking. The applicant has stated that the paved width of the street will be 24 feetwhich does not allow for on-streeting parking. Parking would be prohibited within the cul- de-sac. The street extension is required to include upright curbing and sidewalk constructed to the City of Dover Standards. The plan proposes sidewalks along the entire periphery of the Jefferson Terrace extension, though none is shown along the Monroe Terrace frontage (Residual Lot). If the developer is seeking not to construct sidewalk on the Monroe Terrace frontage, then a waiver request must be submitted. The type of curbing is not identified. The applicant will need to work with the City’s Department of Public Works regarding the street width design for this extension of Jefferson Terrace including paved width, where on-street parking may be provided, the curbing, and the sidewalk design. VII. SITE CONSIDERATIONS Site Access The properties are currently undeveloped. The site abuts Monroe Terrace along the southern end of the east property line. The terminus of Monroe Terrace provides access to the privately maintained Mallard Drive, which crosses the subject site to provide vehicle access to a residential property to the southwest. Jefferson Terrace is currently only paved from South Governors Avenue to Monroe Terrace. While the right-of-way thereof continues from Monroe Terrace westward to the subject site, it is unimproved. The Applicant is proposing to construct a westward extension to Jefferson Terrace, and extend it into the subject site, and provide a cul-de-sac for vehicle turn-arounds. To achieve this, the Plans note that the Applicant is to allocate a portion of the subject site for the purpose of the purpose of right-of-way dedication to create the cul-de-sac terminus of Jefferson Terrace. 18

Página 19

Item 3. SB-25-02C Conceptual Subdivision Plan for Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision) DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 5 The maximum length of the cul-de-sac street is 400 feet. The method of measurement (start point and end point) for the cul-de-sac length is from the centerline of Monroe Terrace to the end of right-of-way at the cul-de-sac. This results in a compliant length of 374.6 feet +/-. The Applicant must coordinate with the Public Works Office, as the extension of Jefferson Terrace will have to be done to City of Dover standards for street construction. This is necessary to then dedicate the extended road to the City for maintenance. Infill Standards The Zoning Ordinance Article 5, Section 1.12 Infill Standards notes requirements for development for a lot or group of lots in an already developed area. It further specifies: (a) Sidewalks. Standard City of Dover sidewalk, per chapter 98, shall be required to be installed along public street frontage of every infill property by the property owner or developer (b) Landscaping. Infill structures shall be designed to minimize the impact on existing, mature trees when practical. All residential lots shall include landscaping to include plants and shrubs along the portions of the house that front a public street. No form of vegetation shall be planted on a property in a way that blocks more than half of the front façade(s) from public view. (c) Primary facade. All buildings shall include a primary entry along the property's street frontage, and shall also include a porch or other entry feature. As noted on the Plan, the existing legal non-conforming width of the frontage along Monroe Terrace is 68.65 feet. This is not proposed to change per this Conceptual Subdivision Plan. From Jefferson Terrace south to the terminus of Monroe Terrace, there are eight (8) other parcels with frontage on Monroe Terrace, most of which are developed with one-family detached dwelling units (single-family homes). The development of this southern portion of the site noted as “Residual Lot” and containing frontage on Monroe Terrace would therefore be considered an infill lot and should follow the above referenced provisions when developed. Sidewalks There is no existing sidewalk along Monroe Terrace frontage of the existing property. As noted, the right-of-way for Jefferson Terrace extension is unimproved. As such, there is no existing sidewalk where the proposed Jefferson Terrace Extension is located. The Plan submitted shows a sidewalk is proposed along both the north and south sides of the Jefferson Terrace Extension, as well as the entirety of the cul-de-sac. No sidewalk is shown as being proposed along the Monroe Terrace frontage of the existing property (proposed Residual parcel). A written waiver request would be required to consider elimination of this sidewalk. The applicant has indicated the intention to provide all required sidewalks including the segment on Monroe Terrace. Flood Hazard Areas Special Flood Hazard Areas (1% Chance of Annual Flood/ 100-year flood plain) appear to remain as natural open space. The southern portion of this tract of land includes a Flood Hazard Area. The area is proposed as the Residual Lot is largely subject to the Flood Hazard Area; however, there is a portion of the property near the Monroe Terrace frontage that remains outside 19

Página 20

Item 3. SB-25-02C Conceptual Subdivision Plan for Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision) DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 6 of the Flood Hazard Area and may therefore be still partially buildable. The proposed Lots 1-5 appear to be outside the Flood Hazard Area. Wetlands The Plan indicates that the southern portion of this tract of land includes areas as wetlands adjacent to a stream that crosses the property. The reference source for the wetlands delineation must be provided. If an area is large enough in size (0.25 acres) to require a setback from the wetland area per the Zoning Ordinance it is to be provided. The setback of 100 feet can be reduced to fifty (50) feet when a riparian buffer is established. The Applicant will have to provide evidence to show that the existing woodland can be recognized as satisfying the riparian buffer requirement. The wetland areas and required buffer shown on the plans do not appear to impact the lots proposed for residential development. Wet Soils and Basements The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §11.23 regarding wet soils limits the building construction when seasonally high-water table is within two and one-half feet of the surface and requires construction subject to conditions to address the prevention of water damage. Subdivision Plans must identify the seasonal high watertable on each lot if basements are proposed. VIII. TREE AND LANDSCAPE PLANTING The tree preservation, tree planting and landscaping requirements are subject principally to the regulations found in Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Sections 15 and 16 and are also addressed in other various sections of code related to buffering, screening, and open space. Tree Planting & Preservation Plan The subject site includes areas of existing woodland. It is not clear if and where woodland areas may be cleared for development activities. Most of the woodland appears to be located in the southern portions of Lots 4 and 5 and on the Residual Lot. The details of the Tree Preservation and Planning Plan will be reviewed in the Preliminary Subdivision Plan application. Tree clearing is limited to a maximum of 50% of the woodland per lot. New tree plantings are required at a rate of one tree per 3,000 SF of non-woodland lot area. There was a previous Permit that authorized some dead tree and debris clean-up activities on this land tract and from within the stream that crosses the property. Active Recreation Plan The Zoning Ordinance includes requirements for areas of Active Recreation to be provided with the development of residential subdivisions at a land area rate per dwelling unit. There are exceptions to this requirement for residential subdivisions where the property is less than five acres and less than ten dwelling units are proposed. This requirement is reviewed in the Preliminary Subdivision Plan application process. IX. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS The subject proposal has been reviewed for code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness in accordance with this agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following items have been identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant: 20

Página 21

Item 3. SB-25-02C Conceptual Subdivision Plan for Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision) DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 7 1) The Planning Commission must make a recommendation on the Subdivision Waiver Request for an increased percentage of lots on a cul-de-sac. The Subdivision Waiver Request will be forwarded to City Council for review and final action. 2) A sidewalk must be provided along the Monroe Terrace frontage of the proposed Residual Lot. A Written Waiver Request from this requirement to provide said sidewalk along the Monroe Terrace frontage of the proposed Residual Lot has not been filed consideration by the Planning Commission. The applicant has indicated the intention to construct this sidewalk segment. 3) Confirm proposed use of the Lot marked as “Residual” to the south of the subject site. If it too is intended for residential development, label it consistently with other such Lots (Lot 6). a. A portion of the Residual Lot appears to be buildable for residential development in the area adjacent to Monroe Terrace. b. If this Lot is to be limited for Stormwater Management activities only, then a conservation easement to limit its use may be appropriate. Also, the long-term owner/manager of this parcel for its stormwater management areas must be identified. 4) Update Location Map as it appears to be missing some linework. 5) Mark the Alley to the west of the subject site as “unimproved.” Add tie line or move the street labels for Monroe Terrace and Jefferson Terrace. 6) Check labels and listing of the lot area for Lot 5; it appears to be more than 9,365.4 SF. 7) The source of the Wetlands Delineation must be listed on the plan along with the required buffers. Label the size of the wetlands area. 8) Clarify the location of the 100 feet setback from the stream as only part to shown. Identify if the stream has a name. 9) Clarify the woodland areas to be preserved (remain) and woodland areas to be removed. Also list these sizes of each woodland area. 10) Add measurements of the front, side, and rear setbacks on each property as some are unlabeled. a. Lots 3 and 4 have a rear yard setback along the west property line. b. The southern property line of the Residual Lot has a side yard setback (not a rear yard setback). 11) Add paved width for extended street segment. Clarify the intent of on-street parking options for this development. 12) Clarify the length of the proposed cul-de-sac as per the measurement method (start point and end point) as determined by City Staff. Label and note on the plan. 21

Item 3. SB-25-02C Conceptual Subdivision Plan for Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision) DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 8 13) Corrections to the Data Column: a. Note the Zoning Classification as R-10 (One-Family Residence Zone) and R-8 (One- Family Residence Zone). b. Item #5: Add the Residual Lot to listing. c. For the proposed use, specify that it is to be “Residential (Single-Family Detached Houses).” d. Remove 25 ft. Wetlands Buffer from the Legend as this is not a City of Dover code provision. 14) Following Preliminary Subdivision Plan approval, the Record Plan Sheet must document and identify any existing and proposed easements for cross access, utilities, drainage, etc. associated with the subdivision of these lots. a. The Final Record Plat submission must include requirements described in Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix A: Land Subdivision Regulations, Article IV, C. Plat and any additional requirements of the Planning Commission. b. The formal Record Plan will need to be recorded upon completion of the approval process with any corrections identified by the reviewing agencies. 15) The applicant will need to work with the Department of Public Works regarding the design of the extension of Jefferson Terrace to the City of Dover Standards for the street, curbing, and sidewalks. X. RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS TO MEET CODE OBJECTIVES: The Land Subdivision Regulations, Article I. Purpose, indicates that the regulations are adopted in order to promote and protect the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare; ensure the orderly growth and development of the City, the conservation, protection and proper use of land, and adequate provision for housing, recreation, circulation, utilities and services; and safeguard the City from undue future expenditure for the maintenance of streets and public spaces. 1) This Major Subdivision Conceptual Plan creates six (6) lots out of the existing parcels, with five (5) of the proposed residential lots having direct access on the proposed Jefferson Terrace street extension and cul-de-sac, and a lot noted as “Residual Lot” to have access off Monroe Terrace. The Subdivision Plan generally appears to comply with the Land Subdivision Regulations (with one exception) and the bulk standards of the R-10 Zone and R- 8 Zone. 2) Subdivision Waiver Request – Increased Percentage of Lots on the Cul-de-sac: Planning Staff recommends approval of a Subdivision Waiver Request to permit more than 20% of lots in a development to front on the turnaround section of a cul-de-sac thus allowing the lot configuration on the cul-de-sac. The unique shape of the larger tract of land does not allow for the inter-connection of the proposed street to another existing street to avoid the cul-de- sac. a) This would also allow for the proposed maintenance easement shown for stormwater management (shown on Lot 5) to instead be placed as part of the Residual Lot. An adjustment of the property line location between Lots 4 and 5 may be necessary to 22

Item 3. SB-25-02C Conceptual Subdivision Plan for Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision) DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 9 maintain lot frontage requirements. 3) Sidewalk along the Monroe Terrace frontage: Staff recommends providing sidewalk along the Monroe Terrace frontage of the Site (frontage of the proposed Residual Lot). As noted, the Lot is considered “Infill” and as such would be required to follow the development standards set out for Infill Lots and found in the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5, Section 1.12. It is noted that several recently developed parcels with frontage on Monroe Terrace (south of Jefferson Terrace) do include sidewalks along their Monroe Terrace frontages. Other agencies may recommend additional conditions and safeguards in accordance with their areas of expertise. The Recommended Additional Considerations to Meet Code Objectives are offered for consideration by the Planning Commission. XI. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1) The Subdivision Waiver Request is required to be considered by the City Council following a recommendation from the Planning Commission. 2) The Conceptual Plan is the first step in the major subdivision process. For this project, the next step is the submission of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for review. A Pre- Application meeting is required to file the Preliminary Subdivision Plan. 3) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory Committee may provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code requirements. 4) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Conceptual Subdivision Plan occur in the development of the plan contact the Department of Planning and Inspections. These changes may require resubmittal for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other commissions making recommendations regarding the plan. 5) The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any ground disturbing activities on the site the appropriate site inspections and permits are required. 6) The applicant shall be aware that Conceptual Subdivision approval does not represent a Building Permit, Sign Permit and other associated construction activity permits. A separate application process is required for issuance of a Permit from the City of Dover.

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ELEMENTS WHICH NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE APPLICANT: Source: 2019 Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Regulations CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS: 1. A Stormwater Assessment Study (SAS) and pre-application meeting are required. 2. As the disturbance for this site will exceed 5,000 square feet, a detailed sediment and stormwater management plan must be reviewed and approved by the District prior to any land disturbing activity (i.e. clearing, grubbing, filling, grading, etc.) taking place. The review fee and a completed Application for a Detailed Plan are due at the time of plan submittal to the District’s office. 3. The following notes must appear on the record plan: a. The Kent Conservation District reserves the right to enter private property for purposes of periodic site inspection. b. The Kent Conservation District reserves the right to add, modify, or delete any erosion or sediment control measure, as it deems necessary. c. A clear statement of defined maintenance responsibility for stormwater management must be provided on the Record Plan. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1. There are previously approved stormwater plans that have expired due to construction never taking place. A new set of plans adhering to the current stormwater regulations will need to be submitted for approval. 2. This plan is located in an area that is to be undermanaged per the Puncheon Run Flood Study to beat the peak run-off generated in the contributing upland drainage area. This area is also under 10% of the total contributing drainage area and is only required to manage the 1-year (RPv) storm event. 3. The preferred methods of Stormwater management are those practices that maximize the use of the natural features of a site, promote recharge and minimize the reliance on structural components. 36

Sediment & Stormwater Program Ekaman Subdivision SB-25-02 SEPTEMBER 2025 Item 3. 4. The proposed plan doesn’t appear to show stormwater management for the RPv storm. Provide stormwater management or specify if DNREC’s fee in leu is being proposed for not managing the RPv storm event. 5. If the fee in leu is being proposed, we will require the stormwater drain pipe and stormwater easement proposed within lot 5 to be relocated into open space, since this will act as the sole drainage outlet for the subdivision. We will also require the end of the storm drain to extend past the rear of the lots further into the residual portion of the parcel, closer to the blue line stream. 6. Please note the Kent Conservation District will not review an application more than three times. If after the third review the plan is still not found to be approvable, the application will be denied, and a new application with review fees are to be re-submitted to continue a detailed plan review. 7. As a reminder, the Kent Conservation District is required to verify that a Notice of Intent (NOI) for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activity under a NPDES General Permit has been received by DNREC prior to District approval. 8.

Item 3. CITY OF DOVER Dover/Kent DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE County Metropolitan ADVISORY BRIEF Planning D.A.C. MEETING DATE: 9/3/2025 Organization SB-25-02 Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision): Conceptual Subdivision Plan FILE # SB-25-02 REVIEWING AGENCY: Dover/Kent County MPO CONTACT PERSON: Malcolm Jacob PHONE #: (302) 387-6030 Attached, please find comments submitted by Dover Kent MPO for each of the current City of Dover Development Advisory Committee (DAC) applications. These comments are a part of the MPO’s ongoing goals of promoting transportation safety and connectivity within the region. They are submitted in accordance with the support given by the MPO Council on November 6, 2024. Issues of concern to the MPO are effective transit, reducing the amount of vehicle emissions by shortening or eliminating trips, and facilities for alternative modes of transportation, including bicycle and pedestrian access. The MPO considers the bicycle facilities required by the City of Dover to be the standard for all applications, not to be waived. City of Dover Planning Commission Site Development Plan Review SB-25-02 Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision): Conceptual Subdivision Plan Monroe Terrace is a low-volume local road that has a Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) of 1. These conditions suggest the road is generally safe for walking and biking. However, sidewalks would still be useful for separating pedestrians from vehicle traffic. Although the proposed subdivision does not have a significant amount of frontage along Monroe Terrace, it should still utilize sidewalks internally and on the property’s frontage to the extent possible. This will make it easier to connect with new sidewalks on Monroe Terrace at a later date. Sidewalks are included in the current plan. Note that the applicant should follow the City of Dover Code for sidewalks when adding pedestrian facilities.1 1 “Dover Code: Appendix B, Article 5, Section 18.” City of Dover, DE. https://library.municode.com/de/dover/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIICOOR_APXBZO_ART5SURE_S18 PEBIMUDAACRE. 38

Item 3. It is also important to ensure that large vehicles, particularly emergency vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances, can easily access and turn around within the cul-de-sac. Coordination with the City of Dover Fire Department will help with meeting this need. Dover Kent MPO will have more specific comments for the property when a site plan is proposed. If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the above contact person and the Planning Department as soon as possible. 39

Box 475 Dover, DE 19903 RE: Waiver Request – Percentage of Lots on Cul-de-sac Ekaman Subdivision – Tax Parcel # ED-05-077.17-06-02.01 – Jefferson Terrace Extension Dear Mrs. Melson-Williams: We respectfully request a waiver from the City of Dover Subdivision Regulations as outlined in the Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix A, Article VI, Section A.15, which states: “In no instance shall more than 20 percent of the lots in a proposed development front on the turnaround section of a cul-de-sac.” We are seeking relief to permit 4 out of 6 proposed lots—equivalent to 67%—to front on the cul-de-sac turnaround. This request is necessitated by the unique shape and physical constraints of the parcel, which limit feasible access to a dead-end cul-de-sac extension of Jefferson Terrace. The proposed layout is the only practical configuration that allows for safe and functional access to all lots. All proposed residential lots comply with applicable zoning requirements, including yard setbacks, and incorporate standard infrastructure such as sidewalks, curbing, and signage. Additionally, the total length of the dead-end roadway—from the centerline of Monroe Terrace to the end of the proposed right-of-way— is 374.6 linear feet, which remains within the maximum allowable length per the Code. We appreciate your consideration of this request and are available to provide any additional information or clarification as needed.

Item 4. CITY OF DOVER City of DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE Dover Planning APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY Office D.A.C. MEETING DATE: September 3, 2025 APPLICATION: Revised Dover Mobility Center Garage at S. Governors Avenue, S. Bradford Street, and Minor Street Alley FILE #: S-25-01 Revised REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning CONTACT PERSON: Dawn Melson-Williams, AICP PHONE: 302-736-7196 This Report for Revised S-25-01 Dover Mobility Center Garage was updated upon submission of an updated Site Plan set and associated Revised Architectural package. Note: The original Review Report was initially prepared by Staff of the Rossi Group (under a Planning Services contract with the City of Dover). The Report of January 2025 was completed with additional review and editing by the City’s Planning Office. This Revised Report utilizes that original Report as a starting point. I. PLAN SUMMARY (Reviewed Revised Plan Sets dated 8/1/2025 and Revised Graphics Set dated 8/1/2025) This is for Review of a Revised Site Development Plan Application, Parcel Consolidation Plan, and associated Architectural Review Certification to permit construction of a new Mobility Center Garage for Downtown Dover, located between South Bradford Street and South Governors Avenue, and north of Minor Street Alley. The Revised proposal includes a four-story, 144,938 SF Parking Garage structure to be known as the Dover Mobility Center Garage. The structure is revised to consist of 329 parking spaces, welcome and retail, a management office, and retail and storage spaces. There have been architectural changes as designed, including the removal of the S. Bradford Street garage entrance. The 1.03+/- acre property includes existing surface parking lots and the previous location of the now demolished two residential-style buildings most recently used as office space. The properties are zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) and subject to H (Historic District Zone). The owners of record include the Downtown Dover Partnership; City of Dover; Capital City Transformation Alliance; and Main Street – Dover Inc. Property Addresses: 133 S. Governors Avenue, 139 S. Governors Avenue, 145 S. Governors Avenue, 136 S. Bradford Street, 148 S. Bradford Street, 150 S. Bradford Street, and 132 S. Bradford Street. Tax Parcels: ED-05-077.09-02- 10.00-000, ED-05-077.09-02-09.00-000, ED-05-077.09-02-08.00-000, ED-05-077.09-02-24.00- 000, ED-05-077.09-02-25.00-00, ED-05-077.09-02-27.00-000, and ED-05-077.09-02-23.00-000.

Governors Avenue DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 3 multiple property owners and including the City where a proposed transfer of land has been granted approval under earlier processes with the City Council. This parcel consolidation is also related to future action on the Alley Abandonment Request (MI-24-10) for an Alley that currently traverses over and/or bisects this set of six parcels. The Site Plan S-25-01 Dover Mobility Center Garage was granted conditional approval by the Planning Commission on January 21, 2025. This Application Revised S-25-01 will be subject to the same process with a public hearing before the Planning Commission. Previous Applications The existing surface parking lot fronting South Governors Avenue was constructed in 2007, following the demolition of buildings on the site (S-07-52, HI-07-05 and HI-06-07). Based on orthophotography, the Bradford Street parking lot was constructed sometime between 1965-1992. In May 2024, the Historic District Commission reviewed applications for Architectural Review Certification for Demolition of the two residential-style buildings located at 148 South Bradford Street (HI-24-02) and 150 South Bradford Street (HI-24-03). On May 16, 2024, the Commission passed a motion to deny both applications for Architectural Review Certificates to demolish the structures, with two members voting in favor of the motion and one member voting in opposition to the motion. Following the denial of the Architectural Review Certificates, the applicant appealed the denial to the Planning Commission, in accordance with Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 - Planning Commission, Section 3. Historic District Commission and Architectural Review, Section 3.23 (D). At their meeting on June 17, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to reverse the Historic District Commission’s denial of the Architectural Review Certificates to demolish the structures, with four members voting in favor of the motion and two members voting in opposition to the motion. This action granted approval of the Architectural Review Certification to allow Demolition of these two buildings. Following issuance of Demolition Permits, both buildings have been demolished. On December 16, 2024, the Planning Commission considered MI-24-10, a Request from the Downtown Dover Partnership to abandon a portion of an improved Alley located between South Governors Avenue and South Bradford Street, extending approximately 132 feet north of Minor Street Alley. This Alley runs through the project site for the Dover Mobility Center Garage. The Planning Commission recommended in favor of the proposed abandonment. The proposed abandonment was subject to review by the City Council Committee of the Whole Utility Subcommittee on January 14, 2025) and then a public hearing before City Council. City Council on February 10, 2025 adopted Resolution #2025-02 to abandon the portion of the improved Alley. The Project Site is subject to Application HI-24-09 Dover Mobility Center Garage. At the December 19, 2024 Meeting of the Historic District Commission, they considered the Application and provided a Recommendation on the Architectural Review Certification for the project. The Revised submission also revisited the Historic District Commission on August 20, 2025 for an updated Recommendation on the Architectural Review Certification. See Section IV. Architectural Review Certification. (See attached Recommendation Report.) 44

Item 4. S-25-01 Revised Dover Mobility Center Garage at 133 S. Governors Avenue DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 4 Preliminary Land Use Services Review (PLUS): The PLUS Review is required by a City of Dover Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for certain types of projects. Due to its location in the Downtown Dover Redevelopment Target Area, this project was not required to complete PLUS Review process. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION PROJECT PROPOSAL as Revised (documents of August 1, 2025) The Revised Application proposes construction of a Parking Garage Structure and other site improvements for the development of the Dover Mobility Center Garage. The proposed Mobility Center is part of the centralized parking strategy proposed in the Capital City 2030: Transforming Downtown Dover Master Plan. The Mobility Center is also identified in the Master Plan as a Project Site. The project location includes the surface public parking lots fronting South Bradford Street and South Governors Avenue. It was the previous the site of the two residential-style buildings for which the Planning Commission granted the Architectural Review Certificates for demolition; the buildings have been demolished. The Parking Garage Structure is located at the lot lines of the site adjacent to Minor Street Alley, South Bradford Street, and South Governors Avenue and positioned at the edge of the sidewalks on South Bradford Street and South Governors Avenue. The Revised four-story structure is being designed to include 329 vehicle parking spaces and bicycle parking with a welcome center and expanded retail space; public restrooms; bicycle repair shop; management office; and other support spaces on the ground level. The lower two stories of the structure are predominantly brick, while the upper stories, which are set back six feet from the lower stories, are predominantly precast concrete spandrel panels. It is noted that the adjacent parcel at 132 S. Bradford Street (ED-05-077.09-02-23.00-000 owned by City of Dover) appears to have been included into the project area to address site improvements i.e. stormwater management, tree plantings, etc. It does not include the proposed building footprint. In the Revised submission, this parcel is depicted as open space for a pocket park/stormwater retention area and a retaining row of existing parking spaces. Surrounding Land Uses This subject property area location north of Minor Street Alley, east of South Governors Avenue, and west of South Bradford Street is within the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area and the Downtown Development District (High Priority Target Area). As previously noted, all six parcels are zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone.) Properties immediately adjacent to the subject project location are zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone), with other nearby properties zoned RGO (General Residence and Office Zone). The subject area and the surrounding properties are also within the H (Historic District Zone). In the remaining portions of the block to the north of the subject area are a service establishment (dry cleaner), other surface parking lots, the Dover Fire Department Station #1, a church building, and several mixed-use buildings. To the south of the Minor Street Alley are mixed-use buildings (first floor commercial or office with upper for residential uses) fronting on the West Loockerman Street, the Downtown commercial corridor. To the west across S. Governors Avenue is the proposed location of The Governor: Mixed Use Building at 120 S. Governors Avenue (subject to Site Plan Application S-25-11). 45

Item 4. S-25-01 Revised Dover Mobility Center Garage at 133 S. Governors Avenue DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 5 III. ZONING REVIEW C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) The subject project area is zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone); this zoning designation will remain in place. The description of the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) zoning district is provided in Article 3 §13 of the Zoning Ordinance and provisions identify the allowable (permitted) uses and the related bulk and design standards for the C-2 zone. The C-2 zone allows for “parking lots and parking structures as a principal use.” The subject project area, once combined into one parcel, will have frontage on two streets, South Governors and South Bradford; the Minor Street Alley is considered a side. The C-2 zone requires a zero minimum setback. The northern lot line treated as a side yard has no required setback, but a minimum side yard setback of five feet if provided. Per the Site Data table, the side setback, as revised, ranges from 0.33 to 5.4 feet. The Historic District Commission, through the Recommendation of an Architectural Review Certificate, has the authority to recommend waiver of bulk standards. The building’s height and number of stories are in compliance with the C-2 zone. The floor area ratio (FAR) proposed is revised to be 3.73, which is in compliance with the maximum FAR allowed of 5.0. The total lot coverage of the project is listed as 97.4%. The C-2 zone does not have a maximum lot coverage requirement. The C-2 zoning district also includes some design standards provisions. See the code excerpt below: Article 3 Section 13 13.5 Design standards. The following standards shall apply to the site and building development in the central commercial zone (C-2): 13.51 Façade articulation. Building facades should incorporate design elements to provide a base, middle, and top of the building to reinforce the pedestrian scale at the street level. 13.52 Height. For buildings greater than four stories in height, then the upper floors above the fourth story shall step back six feet for fifty percent of the width of the primary facade. For buildings greater than six stories, then the upper floors above the sixth floor shall step back an additional six feet on the primary façade. These step back areas may begin at a lower height than these minimums as part of the building design in order to be compatible with the character of the area. 13.53 Step back areas. The step back areas should be open to the sky and can be open air balcony spaces or other design architectural features that are not enclosed spaces. 13.54 Off-street parking. Off-street parking lots shall not be permitted to be situated between the street line and the primary facade of the principal building. Consideration should be given to locating parking to the side or rear of the building. 13.55 Screening. Any off-street parking lots provided shall be screened from the street line by buildings, landscaping, or other means. Off-street parking lots shall be screened from adjacent residential zones and residential uses. This screening provision does not apply to adjacent alleys. The plan as presented complies with these design standards related to the tri-part façade, building height, and step back areas. 46

Item 4. S-25-01 Revised Dover Mobility Center Garage at 133 S. Governors Avenue DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 6 H (Historic District Zone) The entire project site is located in the H (Historic District Zone) and subject to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §21 and referenced sections. The H (Historic District Zone) is described in Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 21 with the following purpose statement: Article 3, Section 21. - Historic district (H). 21.1 Purpose. The purpose of this historic district regulation is to preserve and enhance that unique character and value of the old portion of Dover as an area of special charm and interest. It is particularly intended that the regulations prevent, in the historic dis trict, any change of conditions that would be deemed to be a disfigurement or degradation of the present unique visual and architectural qualities of the district. IV. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW CERTIFICATION Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §3.2 outlines the review process for Architectural Review Certification and related building height, bulk, and setback standards. This process begins with Review by the Historic District Commission. At the Historic District Commission, the Application was initially reviewed December 19, 2024 and the Revised Application was reviewed on August 21, 2025. Review of DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES Location within the H (Historic District Zone) requires proposals for demolition, new construction, additions, and certain renovation or rehabilitation activities to receive an Architectural Review Certificate. As stated in the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone, an Architectural Review Certificate will be granted “if it is found that the architectural style, general design, height, bulk and setbacks, arrangement location and materials affecting the exterior appearance are generally in harmony with neighboring structures and complementary to the traditional architectural standards of the historic district.” Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §3.2 outlines the review process for Architectural Review Certification and related building height, bulk, and setback standards. This Revised proposal must be reviewed for conformity with the design criteria guidelines found in Chapter 4: New Construction, Additions, Demolition and Relocation. The Design Standards and Guidelines for New Construction (Chapter 4: pages 4-1 through 4-8) provide the design criteria and development guidelines. The guidelines specify a series of individual considerations for new construction to be considered in the review by the Historic District Commission (and Planning Commission) of the project for Architectural Review Certification. The Revised proposed project must also be reviewed for compliance with the standards established by the Zoning Ordinance. The standards include items such as setbacks from property lines, floor area ratio, height, etc. Alternative Bulk Standards – Consideration of Side Yard Setback The setbacks of the Garage Structure from the property lines are met except for the side yard setback along the northern property line. The C-2 zoning district has a side yard setback of five feet when one is provided; the building’s placement encroaches into this setback at a variety of widths. Per the plan, the side yard setback ranges (on both sides) from 0.33 feet to 5.4 feet. Therefore, relief must be granted to allow the encroachment; the Planning Commission granted this relief in January 2025. Slight alterations in the building placement on this site still require consideration of these Alternative Bulk Standards. 47

Item 4. S-25-01 Revised Dover Mobility Center Garage at 133 S. Governors Avenue DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 7 HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION – REVISED RECOMMENDATION For the Dover Mobility Center Garage project, the Historic District Commission initially considered the application HI-24-09 on December 19, 2024 regarding an Architectural Review Certificate for construction of the Dover Mobility Center and the various other Site Improvements. The Revised project was considered by the Historic District Commission on August 21, 2025. The Historic District Commission considered the Revised proposal for construction and has provided a recommendation to the Planning Commission in regard to the Architectural Review Certification for the project. The specific recommendation involved consideration of the Design Standards and Guidelines. See attached Revised Recommendation Report from the Historic District Commission. In response to the Historic District Commission’s review, the applicant has completed some design revisions to the stair tower elements. Specifically, the stair tower at the corner of S. Bradford Street and the Minor Street Alley was revised to include brick materials on the lower floors wrapping around the corner. The Planning Commission should act upon the Revised Architectural Review Certification as part of any motion to approve this project, or as a separate motion if necessary. In taking this action, the Planning Commission is to consider the standards and guidelines found in Chapter 4 of the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone and other referenced sections. V. PARKING SUMMARY The C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) does not include a minimum parking requirement. The project area is within the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area. Additionally, Article 6 §3 of the Zoning Ordinance states: For new construction within the downtown redevelopment target area, as described in appendix C of the Dover Code of Ordinances, there is no minimum off-street parking requirement based on use. To utilize this exception, a parking strategy statement must be submitted for review as part of the site development plan approval required by appendix B, zoning, article 10, section 2. The applicant has submitted a Revised Parking Strategy Statement with the application. The Statement describes the existing 83 parking spaces in permit & paid parking lots and private packing locations and also the proposed Parking Garage Structure. The Parking Garage is proposed to consist of 329 vehicle parking spaces and 36 bicycle parking spaces to serve as a mobility hub with functions to serve multiple modes of transportation. This project is a Parking Garage Structure designed as part of a larger parking strategy to provide parking surrounding uses in Downtown Dover. The Parking Garage Structure proposes to provide 329 parking spaces. The ingress and egress into and out of the Parking Garage are now redesigned to only be from South Governors Avenue as the garage’s vehicle access to South Bradford Street has been eliminated. Bicycle Parking Bicycle parking shall be provided for parking spaces at a rate of one (1) bicycle parking space for every twenty (20) parking spaces. Based on the 329 parking spaces provided, 16 bicycle spaces are required. The Plans submitted include 36 bicycle parking spaces. The bicycle parking is proposed to be located on the ground floor of the Mobility Center Garage and is not specifically shown on the Site Plan. 48

Item 4. S-25-01 Revised Dover Mobility Center Garage at 133 S. Governors Avenue DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 8 VI. SITE CONSIDERATIONS Lighting The Site Data table indicates that lighting shall be 1.5-foot candles at grade, but it does not show proposed locations for light fixtures. The architectural package indicates that pedestrian-scale lighting will be provided on the building exterior. It is unclear what street lighting exists or is proposed. Dumpsters Dumpsters are typically required at a rate of two dumpsters per non-residential building serving trash and recycling collection. This property would require two dumpster units. The Site Data table indicates that two dumpsters will be provided. It appears that these will be located within the structure on the south side of the building along Minor Street Alley. It is noted that within the existing parking lot, there is a Dumpster used as a centralized collection point for neighboring business. Sidewalks There is existing sidewalk along South Bradford Street and South Governors Avenue which will need to be replaced with construction. The plan submitted shows expanded sidewalks on the subject property adjacent to the building. The submitted plan shows the concrete sidewalks on South Bradford Street and South Governors Avenue; however, the Project Graphics Set depicts brick sidewalks for some of these areas. VII. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE - REVISED The application proposes a Mobility Center Garage Structure located at the lot lines of the site adjacent to Minor Street Alley, South Bradford Street, and South Governors Avenue, positioned at the edge of the sidewalks on South Bradford Street and South Governors Avenue. The four-story building is being redesigned to include 329 parking spaces with a welcome center and expanded retail; public restrooms; bicycle repair shop; management office; and other support spaces on the ground level. For the façade, the lower two stories of the structure are predominantly brick, while the upper stories, which are set back six feet from the lower stories, are predominantly precast concrete spandrel panels. Exposed stair towers are located at the northwest and southeast corners of the building, where the use of glass is intended to reflect neighboring building architecture and the sky. The roof heights are noted at 53.32 feet on South Governors Avenue and 57.40 South Bradford Street. The two stair towers are the tallest building elements. The ramped parking deck sits behind the building façade along the east and west elevations of the two lower stories; the ramped parking decks are visible through openings on the upper stories of west and east elevations. The south elevation includes the brick façade wrapped from the west building face and the stair tower on the east side also now partially wrapped in brick. Between these areas, the south elevation reveals precast concrete with a parking garage appearance. The north elevation is a solid party wall for the western half of the elevation, likely to be consistent with fire code requirements, due to proximity to the property line. This area of the party wall is designed to host a large mural. The remaining portion of the north elevation (eastern half) has been revised to the precast concrete panels of the parking decks with bands of horizontal openings. Vehicle access to the garage is via entry and exit points from South Governors Avenue as revised. Windows and double door entries are proportioned to align with neighboring buildings. Canopies visually lower the building’s scale. 49

The attached elevation drawings and site plan drawings show detailed information on building dimensions, locations, and material choices. VIII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN Tree Planting Requirements The Zoning Ordinance requires tree planting at a rate of one tree per 3,000 SF of non-woodland development area. Based on the total non-woodland area for the submitted plan of 46,221 SF (total area of seven parcels), 15 trees are required to be planted. The Tree Preservation and Density table indicates that 13 trees are required based on a site area of 37,353 SF; this should be revised to reflect the additional parcel needed to address some of the development aspects. Within the Parking Garage Structure, encompassing almost all of the project area, there are no on-site plantings depicted. The adjacent lot at 132 S. Braford Street shown as an open space area appears to include several existing trees. It is noted that the street frontages of the project area include street trees (total of 6 trees). Within the existing project area, twelve (12) trees will be removed for the development. Request for Tree Mitigation Plan The applicant previously submitted a Request Consideration of a Tree Mitigation Plan, requesting that the required trees be planted off-site within the Downtown Dover area on lands owned by the Downtown Dover Partnership or in a City-owned pocket park; the Request continues for this Revised Plan. The initial Request indicated that potential locations are to be discussed with the City and the Downtown Dover Partnership. A Tree Mitigation Plan must be provided for consideration by the Planning Commission at a rate of 1 tree per 1 deficit tree as per Article 5, Section 16 of the Zoning Ordinance; see below. Previously the Planning Commission granted this Request for a Tree Mitigation Plan. The specific location plans for the tree plantings must be documented in an agreement and approved prior to Final Site Plan Approval. Article 5 Section 16 16.9 Tree mitigation. 16.91 Planning commission waiver. The planning commission may waive the provisions of subsections 16.52, 16.53, and 16.62, and require replacement planting for mitigation purposes should the planning commission determine, after demonstration by the applicant, that due to physical limitations of the land which would otherwise prohibit the reasonable use of the land, or for purposes of preserving, protecting and promoting the interest of public health, safety, welfare and/or public convenience. All tree mitigation plantings must occur within the corporate limits of the City of Dover. Tree mitigation may occur off-site in accordance with the provisions listed below in this ordinance: (a) If a waiver is sought from the provisions of subsection 16.62, new tree plantings are required at a rate of 1:1. All new tree plantings shall meet the minimum size at planting requirements of the City of Dover table of trees. (b) If a waiver is sought from the provisions of subsection 16.52 and/or subsection 16.53, then mitigation must be in the form of newly created woodland areas.

Item 4. CITY OF DOVER Dover/Kent DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE County Metropolitan ADVISORY BRIEF Planning D.A.C. MEETING DATE: 9/3/2025 Organization S-25-01 Revised Dover Mobility Center Garage at 133 S. Governors Avenue FILE # S-25-01 REVIEWING AGENCY: Dover/Kent County MPO CONTACT PERSON: Malcolm Jacob PHONE #: (302) 387-6030 Attached, please find comments submitted by Dover Kent MPO for each of the current City of Dover Development Advisory Committee (DAC) applications. These comments are a part of the MPO’s ongoing goals of promoting transportation safety and connectivity within the region. They are submitted in accordance with the support given by the MPO Council on November 6, 2024. Issues of concern to the MPO are effective transit, reducing the amount of vehicle emissions by shortening or eliminating trips, and facilities for alternative modes of transportation, including bicycle and pedestrian access. The MPO considers the bicycle facilities required by the City of Dover to be the standard for all applications, not to be waived. City of Dover Planning Commission Site Development Plan Review S-25-01 Revised Dover Mobility Center Garage at 133 S. Governors Avenue Dover Kent MPO recommends that the applicant consider the larger picture of parking availability in downtown Dover in addition to the mobility center. The MPO previously completed two studies on the topic of parking in the downtown, the most recent being finished in 2018. The conclusion of these studies was that while a new parking garage could help improve parking availability, it should be viewed as more of a long-term solution given the associated costs and the time required for implementation.1 Short-term steps that could be taken include new wayfinding signage, metered parking, and the increased promotion of alternative modes of transportation such as biking and walking. The Downtown Dover Parking Study contains further details on these strategies. 1 Downtown Dover Parking Study.

Item 4. Sidewalks are included in the site plan, both along the property’s frontage and internally. The applicant should follow both the City of Dover Code for sidewalks2 and the DelDOT specifications for sidewalks,3 to make sure the requirements of both entities are met. Any sidewalks that are damaged or removed during the construction process will need to be replaced. Bicycle parking is included in the plan. Note that these should be provided at a rate of one (1) bicycle parking space for every twenty (20) vehicle parking spaces.4 If more information on specific types of bicycle racks is needed, please contact Dover Kent MPO. The applicant has considered including a bike share facility on the property. The inclusion of micromobility would allow bicycles or scooters to be rented, providing additional means of transportation and also reinforcing the site’s designation as a mobility center. Currently, State Law prohibits the use of motorized scooters and skateboards within the public right of way including on streets and sidewalks.5 State legislation regarding scooters would be necessary to enable their use; this would create new opportunities for scooter use in urban settings. For more information on micromobility, please refer to the Downtown Dover Pathways Plan.6 A sufficient number of accessible parking spaces should be added to the parking garage. These should meet ADA requirements and be positioned in a convenient location within the structure. The applicant should anticipate the needs of other modes of transportation at and around the site. This may include the structural design considerations for access to trash storage receptables; the safety of moving grocery carts around the property and across the street; and the potential for electric vehicle (EV) charging locations and rideshare pickup locations. The need for additional improvements may arise depending on future conditions. Finally, motorists are likely to walk across Governors Avenue between this property and the planned mixed use building, either as tenants of the apartments or customers at one of the businesses. They will probably try to cross the road directly in front of the parking garage, as the nearest crosswalk is to the south at the intersection with Loockerman Street, which is not as convenient. Given the expected increase in pedestrian traffic, a crosswalk with a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) should be considered for the purpose of creating a safe connection between the two properties. RRFBs are identified as a Proven Safety Countermeasure 2 “Dover Code: Appendix B, Article 5, Section 18.” City of Dover, DE. https://library.municode.com/de/dover/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIICOOR_APXBZO_ART5SURE_S18 PEBIMUDAACRE. 3 Pedestrian Accessibility Standards Manual.

Item 4. WAIVER REQUEST DOWNTOWN DOVER PARTNERSHIP DOVER MOBILITY CENTER GARAGE TREE PLANTING REQUIREMENTS / TREE MITIGATION REQUEST REQUEST: Due to the nature and use of the subject site and its proposed layout which will encompass the entire site, the Downtown Dover Partnership requests a waiver from the tree planting requirements of the zoning code for the subject site and proposes to plant the required number of trees to meet the zoning code requirements, either on other lands of the Partnership or in City owned Pocket Parks within the downtown area. The specific location is to be determined after discussions between the City and the Partnership. EXTENT OF THE REQUEST: By code, the property will be required to provide 13 trees on the subject site. We request to plant the 13 trees at a location yet to be determined, but within the downtown area as noted above. BASIS FOR REQUEST: Article 5, section 16.91 states that The Planning Commission may waive the provisions of [sub]sections 16.52, 16.53, and 16.62, and require replacement planting for mitigation purposes should the planning commission determine, after demonstration by the applicant, that due to physical limitations of the land which would otherwise prohibit the reasonable use of the land, or for purposes of preserving, protecting and promoting the interest of public health, safety, welfare and/or public convenience. All tree mitigation plantings must occur within the corporate limits of the City of Dover. Tree mitigation may occur off-site in accordance with the provisions listed below in this ordinance: (a) If a waiver is sought from the provisions of § [subsection] 16.62, new tree plantings are required at a rate of 1:1. All new tree plantings shall meet the minimum size at planting requirements of the City of Dover table of trees. 78

Página 79

Item 4. The proposed facility is a multi-story parking garage with some minor ancillary spaces for retail space, a management office and a welcome center. The facility will encompass the entire site thus leaving no space for tree plantings on the property. For these reasons, we request that a waiver be granted allowing the required trees to be planted on other lands of the Partnership or on City owned lands (pocket parks, etc) within the downtown area. The location is to be agreed upon by both the city and the Partnership. 202431400ak-tree-waiver.docx 79

Item 4. December 5, 2024 City of Dover Planning Commission c/o Department of Planning and Inspections P.O. Box 475 Dover, DE 19903-0475 RE: Parking Strategy Statement DOVER MOBILITY CENTER GARAGE Dover, Delaware 2024314.00 Dear Commission Members: On behalf of our client, Downtown Dover Partnership, we are hereby submitting this parking strategy statement for your consideration. The properties associated with the project are zoned C-2 - Central Commercial and H - Historic. There is no minimum parking requirement based on use for this zoning designation within the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area, however, this parking strategy statement is required for consideration to meet code requirements. The site currently consists of public surface paid and permit parking lots and two existing office buildings with private parking spaces. These will be replaced with the new Mobility Center Hub/Parking Garage. 83 existing parking spaces associated with the surface lots and the offices will be removed as well as the existing office buildings. The new mobility hub will provide a place for people to connect to multiple modes of transportation at a central convenient location to the downtown area. The garage will provide 431 total vehicle parking spaces. Additionally, 33 bicycle parking spaces will be provided within the garage as well as scooter parking and the possibility of future bikeshare opportunities. The structure will include 8,738 s.f. of enclosed space which includes a welcome center, a management office, restrooms, storage and some small retail space. The welcome center can provide travel information for patrons. The Hub will allow for future rideshare, carshare or ridehail pickup/drop off (Uber, Lyft etc.) at a convenient safe location. All of these options help to reduce parking in general for the downtown area with the multi-modal travel options that can be available at the Hub. The intent of the garage is to provide public parking for the downtown area in general, including the uses within the structure. The ground level of the garage will include 30-minute parking spaces, handicapped accessible spaces and bicycle/scooter parking spaces as well as the aforementioned uses. The upper levels will house longer term paid and permit parking spaces which will provide parking for visitors to downtown, residents of the local area, employees of downtown businesses etc. 80

Item 4. REVISED August 1, 2024 Department of Planning & Inspections City of Dover PO BOX 475 Dover, DE 19903 The Dover Mobility Center will be a newly constructed 4-story, 400-space 319-space multi-purpose garage in the heart of Downtown Dover. The structure will be situated at 133 S. Governor's Avenue, Dover, DE 19904, a future consolidation of six contiguous parcels currently known as 133 S. Governors Ave., 139 S. Governors Ave., 145 S. Governors Ave., 136 S. Bradford St., 148 S. Bradford St., and 150 S. Bradford St. The intended lot consolidation will require vacating a portion of an existing paper alley that currently runs through the boundaries of the project parcels. The site is located one block north of Loockerman Street, the site is bordered by S. Governors Avenue to the west, S Bradford Street to the east, and Minor Street Alley to the south. Currently, surface parking lots on this site serve as public and permit parking for the downtown district. The proposed Mobility Center aims to accommodate the increased parking demands resulting from incentives outlined in the Capital City 2030: Transforming Downtown Dover Master Plan, which anticipates greater business activity and an influx of new residents downtown in mixed-use redevelopment projects. The Center's parking infrastructure is crucial in supporting the transformation of the Capital City into a vibrant hub for commerce, living, and cultural activities projected through 2030 and beyond. Architectural Design and Adherence to Historic District Guidelines The architecture of the Mobility Center is crafted to creatively reflect and honor the historic district while adhering to its guidelines. The design aligns with the Historic District Zone’s standards, emphasizing that: “…the slavish and literal copying of architectural styles and elements will trivialize and confuse the genuine historic architecture of the City of Dover… Contemporary architecture should be representative of the time in which it is created and should thus contribute to Dover’s architectural diversity for the appreciation of future generations.”1 Although “contemporary” in style, the Center’s architecture respects the historic context rather than replicating neighboring structures. Drawing inspiration from the tectonics of early Victorian-era carriage and horse stables—the antecedents of modern automobile garages—the building incorporates their guiding principles of scale, rhythm, proportion, and materiality. This approach enables the structure to harmonize with its surroundings and avoid appearing contextually foreign. 1 Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone; John Milner Associates, 1992; 4-2 Page 1 82

Página 83

Item 4. Aligned with the Design Standards and the new C-2 zoning regulations, the building’s massing incorporates a tripartite form with a six-foot setback. This setback, applied on both frontages after the second floor, scales the building comfortably for public interaction. It also enables the use of materials on the first two levels that correspond with the historic context by aligning with elements like the historic cornice lines prevalent within the historic district. With the core approach of respect rather than replication, the building takes cues and architectural style from the buildings downtown, rather than direct forgery. An example of which is the building’s brickwork, which takes cues such as the size, shape, color variation, and uniformity of bricks prevalent downtown. The patterning of the brick, mainly running bond with accents of soldier coursing, is a common theme downtown and serves as an acknowledgement and method of folding the building into the fabric of Dover. On the upper levels, contemporary materials and forms predominate. Precast concrete spandrel panels reference historic cornice styles, incorporating dynamic spandrel panels with historically inspired insets. The exposed stair towers on S Governors and S Bradford introduce modern glass construction, serving as a wayfinding beacon. To acknowledge the building’s place in the ongoing history of Downtown Dover, the glass also serves as a mirror to reflect its neighboring architecture and sky. Site The building is designed to adhere closely to C-2 zoning requirements, which call for a zero-foot setback, positioning the Mobility Center directly along the sidewalk edge. At the entry points, the sidewalk will be expanded to enhance pedestrian flow and create a welcoming, accessible frontage. This expansion is further supported by thoughtfully planned site elements such as light poles and wall sconces that provide essential lighting while complementing the architectural design. In addition, a selection of street trees and landscaped plantings along the building’s perimeter will create a comfortable, shaded environment for pedestrians, contributing to a pleasant streetscape. In response to Staff and HDC comments, we will explore canopy tree options to provide enhanced greenery and shade. To the north of the structure on S Bradford Street, a greenspace area is proposed, incorporating trees, shrubs, and various plantings to enhance the aesthetic quality of the site and provide a natural respite within the urban landscape. This greenspace will serve as a “pocket park”, offering a convenient and valuable amenity for residents and visitors with pets. All site elements, including landscaping and lighting, will be carefully positioned to ensure they do not obstruct visibility for drivers or compromise pedestrian safety in addition to limiting light pollution for neighboring properties. Special attention will be given to sightlines at entry and exit points, promoting a safe, pedestrian-friendly environment that aligns with the broader vision of Downtown Dover as a vibrant Page 2 83

Página 84

Item 4. and accessible community space. In response to Staff and HDC comments, exterior and street lighting will complement in their style the light fixtures prevalent throughout the Dover Historic District. Ground Floor Programming and Design The ground floor of the Mobility Center is thoughtfully programmed to serve a variety of needs, enhancing both functionality and accessibility. Key features include a welcome center, with expanded retail spaces for various local businesses, public washrooms accessible through the bike & scooter parking area on S. Bradford Street. welcome center during business hours to support visitors, as well as a bicycle repair hub that encourages cycling as a sustainable transportation option. In addition to the retail, the ground floor also houses a management office, storage for building operations, and designated parking areas for bicycles and scooters, which will be complemented by lockers to facilitate secure package delivery and retrieval. Vertical circulation elements, including stairwells and elevators, connect this level to the upper floors, while back-of-house spaces support the operational needs of the facility. In addition to general garage parking, The ground floor is designed with a number of specialized parking spaces, such as accessible spots, including those designated for van access., as well as designated electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and short-term 30-minute parking spaces. These additions promote inclusiveness, sustainable transportation, and convenience for short-term Dover visitors. An exterior location along Governors Avenue is designated for bikeshare docks, aligning with the objectives of both the Kent County MPO’s strategic plan and the Capital City 2030: Transforming Downtown Dover plan by the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP). This bikeshare docking area supports regional and local goals to encourage sustainable transportation options and increase bike accessibility for residents and visitors. The placement along Governors Avenue strategically situates the bikeshare docks for easy access, allowing users to seamlessly connect to other downtown destinations and transportation nodes. The integration of bikeshare infrastructure into the Mobility Center not only supports eco-friendly transit but also contributes to Dover’s vision of a more connected, pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly urban core. Garage entrances and exits are is strategically placed on both S Governors Avenue and S Bradford Street, enhancing access to the facility while limiting a burden of vehicles on either side S. Bradford Street. The S Governors Avenue entrance is expected to handle a higher the volume of traffic due to its status as a state road with larger traffic flows, allowing for efficient circulation in and out of the garage. This thoughtful layout ensures a streamlined experience for all users, aligning with the Mobility Center’s goals of accessibility, sustainability, and integration within the downtown infrastructure. Page 3 84

Página 85

Item 4. Façade Design and Materiality of the Pedestrian zone The Mobility Center’s garage façade will feature primarily precast architectural concrete with brick cladding that matches the color and scale of surrounding buildings. This material selection, as well as the overall design, reflects the input gathered from the public at the October 23, 2024 Open House, where attendees helped shape the aesthetic by voting on their favorite of three pre-selected brick samples that range in color and shape. The brickwork employs varying orientations, particularly within column bays and at the cornice level, to introduce architectural texture and provide a contemporary nod to traditional Victorian brickwork. This technique ensures a harmonious blend with Dover’s historic aesthetic while expressing a modern identity. Both street-facing elevations follow this brickwork pattern up to a setback above the second floor. Beyond this setback, the façade transitions to decorative precast concrete spandrels, which, in color and form, were also selected with public input. The thoughtful progression from brick to concrete on the upper floors emphasizes the building’s contemporary character while maintaining visual cohesion with the district’s architectural language. Along Minor Street, the brickwork and decorative detailing wrap the corner up to the second structural column, then simplify into a streamlined design. This strategic simplification allows flexibility for future transformations of Minor Street Alley, envisioning a shift from a car-dominated space to a pedestrian- friendly zone. The simplified façade is primed for future additions, such as murals, supplementary lighting, and screening, giving the Downtown Dover Partnership the agency to shape this side of the building as the surrounding area evolves. The north elevation, which will function as a party wall due to fire safety regulations of proximity to the building’s property line and existing adjacent neighbor, has limited openings but retains visual interest through adjacent landscaping. A pocket park with trees, and greenery will create a collaborative public space that draws people into the area. This elevation is specifically designed to host a large mural, turning the party wall into a canvas for public art and adding vibrancy to this side of the building. Together, these design choices reflect a commitment to honoring public input, integrating contemporary style with historical context, and aligning with the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone. Windows, Openings, and Canopies The windows in the Mobility Center’s welcome center, retail, and office spaces are proportioned to align harmoniously with those of neighboring buildings, creating a cohesive streetscape. For the parking garage’s pedestrian entries, double doors are planned to match the proportions of surrounding storefronts, integrating seamlessly with the architectural rhythm of the street. Page 4 85

Página 86

Item 4. Extending across the length of the ground floor, canopies with dark painted metal fascia will be installed, designed with detailing that complements the brickwork and adds an additional layer of architectural refinement. These canopies are topped with a landscaping tray system, which serves the dual function of managing stormwater runoff and visually lowering the building’s scale to create a more pedestrian- friendly atmosphere. In the main body of the parking garage, much of the structure is open above the safety railing and spandrel panels, maximizing airflow to meet the ventilation requirements of a parking facility. This open design supports efficient air exchanges, enhancing both the comfort and safety of the garage environment. The design choices throughout the structure focus on balancing functionality, historical alignment, and pedestrian comfort, reinforcing the Mobility Center as a well-integrated, accessible element of downtown Dover’s urban fabric.

The design Revisions for the Dover Mobility Center Parking Garage are presented and focus on an expanded retail footprint, improved public amenities, reduction in parking capacity, and removal of the vehicle entry to the garage from S. Bradford Street while reducing the neighborhood impact, changes to the building scale and building height, and refinements to the architectural character and material utilization. These are more fully described in the Applicant’s Revised submission. It is noted that the adjacent parcel at 132 S. Bradford Street (ED-05-077.09-02-23.00-000 owned by City of Dover) is an associated part of the project area to address site improvements i.e. stormwater management, tree plantings, etc. It does not include the proposed building. In the Revised submission, this parcel is depicted as open space for a pocket park/stormwater retention area. Surrounding Land Uses This subject project area location north of Minor Street Alley, east of South Governors Avenue, and west of South Bradford Street is within the Downtown Development District. As previously noted, all six parcels are zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone). Properties immediately adjacent to the subject project location are zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone), with other nearby properties zoned RGO (General Residence and Office Zone). The surrounding properties are also within the H (Historic District Zone). In the remaining portions of the block to the north of the subject area are a service establishment (dry cleaner), other surface parking lots, the Dover Fire Department Station #1, a church building, and several mixed-use buildings. To the south of the Minor Street Alley are mixed-use buildings (first floor commercial or office with upper for residential uses) fronting on the West Loockerman Street, the Downtown commercial corridor. Previous Applications The existing surface parking lot fronting South Governors Avenue was constructed in 2007, following the demolition of buildings on the site (S-07-52, HI-07-05 and HI-06-07). Based on orthophotography, the Bradford Street parking lot was constructed sometime between 1965-1992. In May 2024, the Historic District Commission reviewed applications for Architectural Review Certification for Demolition of the two residential-style buildings located at 148 South Bradford 89

HI-24-09 REVISED Dover Mobility Center Garage Revised Architectural Certification Review Report from Historic District Commission August 21, 2025 Meeting Page 4 of 13 Street (HI-24-02) and 150 South Bradford Street (HI-24-03). On May 16, 2024, the Commission passed a motion to deny both applications for Architectural Review Certificates to demolish the structures, with two members voting in favor of the motion and one member voting in opposition to the motion. Following the denial of the Architectural Review Certificates, the applicant appealed the denial to the Planning Commission, in accordance with Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 - Planning Commission, Section 3 Historic District Commission and Architectural Review, Section 3.23 (D). At their meeting on June 17, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to reverse the Historic District Commission’s denial of the Architectural Review Certificates to demolish the structures, with four members voting in favor of the motion and two members voting in opposition to the motion. This action granted approval of the Architectural Review Certification to allow Demolition of these two buildings. II. HISTORIC PROPERTY INFORMATION Review of Historic Maps A series of historic maps were reviewed by Staff for preliminary information on the area and found that between 1885 and 1919, the area was predominately residential along South Bradford Street and South Governors Avenue. By 1992, 136 S. Bradford Street had been converted into a parking lot as surrounding uses shifted to a mix of commercial, offices, and residential. Around 2006-2007 the residences along South Governors Avenue were demolished. Two historic structures that remained on South Bradford Street were recently demolished after previous application submissions. Property Information The subject property area is within the Victorian Dover Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places and is located within H (Historic District Zone) as established by the City of Dover. There are four contexts that contribute to the historic character of Dover, including the Green Historic Context; the Victorian Historic Context; the Loockerman Historic Context; and the Capitol Square Historic Context. This property is located within the Loockerman Historic Context. The Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone describe this context as “a coherent, densely-built commercial area that would have an attractive mix of historic and new buildings and related parking.” The building that was located at 148 S. Bradford Street was a twentieth-century, bungalow style structure that was constructed in 1930. The building previously located at 150 S. Bradford Street was a residential style structure and is estimated to have been constructed in the 1880s. Both structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Victorian Dover Historic District. Delaware’s Division of Historical & Cultural Affairs identifies both as contributing properties. These buildings were demolished after prior authorizations in application HI-24-02 and HI-24-03. There are no other extant buildings in the subject area. 90

PROJECT PROPOSAL PROJECT PROPOSAL as Revised (Summary Letter, Revised Design Narrative, Updated Responses to Recommendation, Architectural Graphics Package and Site Plan Sheet (C-201) dated August 1, 2025) The Revised Application proposes construction of a Parking Garage Structure and other site improvements for the development of the Dover Mobility Center. The proposed Mobility Center is part of the centralized parking strategy proposed in the Capital City 2030: Transforming Downtown Dover Master Plan. The Mobility Center is also identified in the Master Plan as a Project Site. The project location includes the surface public parking lots fronting South Bradford Street and South Governors Avenue, as well as the site of the now demolished two residential-style buildings (the Planning Commission granted the Architectural Review Certificates for demolition). The Applicant’s original submission included a Design Narrative, a site plan graphic, and building elevations and 3-D views. The Documents were originally filed November 15, 2024 and were updated with a submission of December 11, 2024 with minor design revisions. The Applicant’s Revised submission of August 1, 2025 includes a Summary Letter giving an overview of the Design revisions, a Revised Design Narrative, a Letter of Updated Responses to the Recommendations, a Revised Architectural Graphics Package, and an Updated Site Plan sheet. The Architectural Graphics Package includes the original submission pages for comparison to the Revised submission pages (marked Revised with maroon border). The elements of the project are as follows with notations on the Revisions: 1. Parking Garage Structure: The Parking Garage Structure is located in close proximity to the lot lines of the site adjacent to Minor Street Alley, South Bradford Street, and South Governors Avenue. It is positioned at the edge of the sidewalks on South Bradford Street and South Governors Avenue. The four-story structure design has been revised to consist of 329 parking spaces. Revisions to reallocate space on the first floor will include a welcome center and expanded retail space; public restrooms; bicycle repair shop; management office; and other support spaces on the ground level. The lower two stories of the structure are predominantly brick, while the upper stories, which are set back six feet from the lower stories, are predominantly precast concrete spandrel panels. Exposed stair towers remain located at the northwest and southeast corners of the building, where the use of glass is intended to reflect neighboring building architecture and the sky. The roof height of the northwest stair tower is revised to 54 feet, and the roof height of the southeast stair tower remains at 60 feet. The Revised changes in height are depicted with dashed lines on the elevation drawings. The ramped parking deck sits behind the building façade along the east and west elevations of the two lower stories; the ramped parking decks are visible through openings on the upper stories of west and east elevations. The south elevation includes the brick façade wrapped from the west building face and the stair tower on the east side. Between these areas, the south elevation reveals precast concrete with a parking garage appearance above the first floor where there are proposals for 91

HI-24-09 REVISED Dover Mobility Center Garage Revised Architectural Certification Review Report from Historic District Commission August 21, 2025 Meeting Page 6 of 13 window and door openings. The north elevation is a solid party wall for the western half of the elevation, consistent with fire code requirements, due to proximity to the property line. This area party wall is being designed to host a large mural. The remaining portion of the north elevation (the eastern half) has been revised to include a continuation of the brick wrapping around the corner and then the precast concrete panels of the parking decks with bands of horizontal openings. Vehicle access to the garage is via entry and exit points now only from South Governors Avenue as the vehicle entry to the garage from South Bradford Street has been eliminated. Windows and double door entries are proportioned to align with neighboring buildings. Canopies are redesigned in their form to a projecting band at the first floor level which visually lowers the building’s scale. 2. Sidewalks: With the structure’s position, the sidewalk generally spans from the building to the curbline on the South Bradford Street and South Governors Avenue frontages. The application proposes expanded sidewalks at the entry points of the building and pedestrian- scale lighting along the building. The street frontage sidewalks along South Bradford Street will include brick pavers to match existing sidewalks with concrete sidewalks along South Governors Avenue. The plan proposes bike share docks along South Governors Avenue. 3. Tree Planting and Landscaping: The project plan proposes street tree plantings and grass areas between the curb and sidewalk. The drawing shows a “pocket park/stormwater retention” area on the northeast side of the site, bounded by the parking garage and South Bradford Street on the south and east, with trees proposed to be planted in this area. This ‘pocket park’ area is located on the adjacent parcel at 132 S. Bradford Street. See the attached Revised Design Narrative Letter, Updated Responses, the Revised Architectural Graphics Package, and updated Site Plan Sheet (C-201) for the associated graphics and drawings for detailed information on building dimensions, locations, and material choices. In the center of the Project Area parcels is an existing Alley. It is noted that currently there is a separate Alley Abandonment Request. Application MI-24-10 Request for Alley Abandonment: Part of Alley Between S. Governors Avenue and S. Bradford Street (abandonment of an approximately 132 feet length alley segment) was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission on December 16, 2024 and then approved by City Council in early 2025. IV. ZONING REVIEW The entire project site area is located in the H (Historic District Zone) and subject to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §21 and referenced sections. Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §3.2 outlines the review process for Architectural Review Certification and related building height, bulk, and setback standards. The subject project area is zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone.) The C-2 zone allows for “parking lots and parking structures as a principal use.” The subject property, once combined into one parcel, 92

Página 93

Item 4. HI-24-09 REVISED Dover Mobility Center Garage Revised Architectural Certification Review Report from Historic District Commission August 21, 2025 Meeting Page 7 of 13 will have frontage on two streets, South Governors and South Bradford; Minor Street Alley is considered a side. The C-2 zone requires a zero minimum setback. The northern lot line, if treated as a side yard, has no required setback, but a minimum of five feet if provided. From other related project submissions, it appears that this setback ranges from 0.7 feet to 5.2 feet along the northern property lines. The Planning Commission in January of 2025 approved this Alternative Side Yard Setback as part of the Architectural Review Certification process. The C-2 zoning district also includes some design standards provisions. See the code excerpt below: Article 3 Section 13 13.5 Design standards. The following standards shall apply to the site and building development in the central commercial zone (C-2): 13.51 Façade articulation. Building facades should incorporate design elements to provide a base, middle, and top of the building to reinforce the pedestrian scale at the street level. 13.52 Height. For buildings greater than four stories in height, then the upper floors above the fourth story shall step back six feet for fifty percent of the width of the primary facade. For buildings greater than six stories, then the upper floors above the sixth fl oor shall step back an additional six feet on the primary façade. These step back areas may begin at a lower height than these minimums as part of the building design in order to be compatible with the character of the area. 13.53 Step back areas. The step back areas should be open to the sky and can be open air balcony spaces or other design architectural features that are not enclosed spaces. 13.54 Off-street parking. Off-street parking lots shall not be permitted to be situated between the street line and the primary facade of the principal building. Consideration should be given to locating parking to the side or rear of the building. 13.55 Screening. Any off-street parking lots provided shall be screened from the street line by buildings, landscaping, or other means. Off-street parking lots shall be screened from adjacent residential zones and residential uses. This screening provision does not apply to adjacent alleys. V. Review of DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES The subject project area is located in the Dover Historic District Zone within the Loockerman Context. The Loockerman Context is described on pages 2-7 and 2-8 of the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone. This Design Standards and Guidelines describe this context as “a coherent, densely-built commercial area that would have an attractive mix of historic and new buildings and related parking.” Location within the Dover Historic District Zone requires proposals for demolition, new construction, additions, and certain renovation or rehabilitation activities to existing buildings to receive an Architectural Review Certificate. As stated in the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone, an Architectural Review Certificate will be granted “if it is found that the architectural style, general design, height, bulk and setbacks, arrangement location and materials affecting the exterior appearance are generally in harmony with neighboring structures and complementary to the traditional architectural standards of the historic district.” In accordance with Article 10 §3.2, the Historic District Commission will provide a recommendation to the Planning Commission regarding the project’s compliance with the architectural review standards. 93

Item 4. HI-24-09 REVISED Dover Mobility Center Garage Revised Architectural Certification Review Report from Historic District Commission August 21, 2025 Meeting Page 8 of 13 This proposal must be reviewed for conformity with the design criteria guidelines found in Chapter 4: New Construction, Additions, Demolition and Relocation. Information on the review considerations is given below. New Construction The Design Standards and Guidelines for New Construction (Chapter 4: pages 4-1 through 4-8) provide the design criteria and development guidelines. The guidelines specify the following individual considerations for new construction to be considered in the review by the Historic District Commission (and Planning Commission) of the project for Architectural Review Certification: • Style • Scale (building to reflect dominant cornice and roof height of adjacent buildings) • Elevation of the First Floor • Floor-to-Floor heights • Bays, windows, and doors (size, relationship, spacing of) • Absolute Size (compare overall size of new building) • Massing (relationship of solid-to-void) • Orientation (location of primary façade) • Proportions (comparison of height to width of building and elements) • Materials • Forms (shape of building and roof to be complementary) • Siting (location of building on lot and in relation to street) • High density/ large-scale construction The proposed project must also be reviewed for compliance with the standards established by the Zoning Ordinance. The standards include items such as setbacks from property lines, lot coverage, height, etc. This Proposal for the new Dover Mobility Center Garage appears to conform to most of the bulk requirements of the C-2 Zoning District, however, the detailed dimensions and bulk standards will be verified via site plan review. Alternatives for the side yard setback along the north property line will be required. The City of Dover Zoning Ordinance authorizes the Historic District Commission to waive certain bulk standards when issuing its recommendation to the Planning Commission for an Architectural Review Certificate if necessary; this was authorized by the earlier application review and will also be required for this Revision. ACTION on ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW CERTIFICATION (for HI-24-09 with December 2024 Review by the Historic District Commission and January 21, 2025 Review by Planning Commission): Application HI-24-09 was considered at the December 19, 2024 Meeting of the Historic District Commission.

The motion to approve Site Plan S-25-01 Dover Mobility Center Garage at 133 S. Governors Avenue passed 8-0 of the Planning Commission members present for this application at the January 21, 2025 Meeting. This action included approval of the Architectural Review Certification with the alternative side yard setbacks, approval of the Tree Mitigation Plan, and acceptance of the Parking Strategy Statement. VI. STAFF COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Staff Comments and Recommendations for this application regarding project activities and Architectural Review Certification were originally provided in the Architectural Review Staff Report issued for the December 19, 2024 Historic District Commission Meeting. It is also noted that the Applicant in this revised submission included an itemized response to the Staff Comments 95

Página 96

Item 4. HI-24-09 REVISED Dover Mobility Center Garage Revised Architectural Certification Review Report from Historic District Commission August 21, 2025 Meeting Page 10 of 13 from the earlier review. The comments and recommendations were updated for this Report following Staff’s review of the Revised Submission dated August 1, 2025. The following are Staff comments and recommendations for this application regarding project activities and Architectural Review Certification for the Revised Submission. 1) Staff again recommends conditional approval of the Architectural Review Certificate for the construction of the Revised Dover Mobility Center Garage project finding that the building continues to be of a compatible design with the nearby buildings and with the intent of the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone, and with its recommendations for large-scale development in Loockerman Historic Context. The proposed Mobility Center remains oriented so that the west and east frontages sit at the sidewalk edge, supporting the pedestrian scale of the Downtown area. The brick exterior finishes on the lower two stories and detailing with building elements and sectioned wall surfaces break-up the expanse of the east and west building elevations and take cues from the architectural styles seen in the Loockerman Street corridor. The street- level presentation along South Governors Avenue and South Bradford Street is building- like in its exterior appearance and design, screening the parking ramp and deck appearances on lower levels while setting them back on the upper levels on the primary elevations. 2) Staff again recommends approval of alternative side yard setbacks to accommodate the placement of the building in relation to the northern property line(s) given the lot configuration and the likely Building Code and Fire Code related provisions for building construction. The Alternative Side Yard Setbacks were previously approved with HI-24- 09/S-25-01 by the Planning Commission. 3) The following conditions are recommended by Staff to improve the project’s compliance with the recommended guidelines of the Design Standards and Guidelines. Where the Application has taken action to address these items in the Revised Project it is noted. The following are recommended conditions: a. The selected brick choices should be compatible with the brick of other existing buildings in the area. The Applicant plans to submit the color palette and information on the brick selection for review. b. Consideration of wall or free-standing signage may require additional review. The Applicant recognizes this will be subject to Sign Permit Applications. c. Any light fixtures utilized on the property should be consistent with the style of the lighting used in the nearby areas of the Historic District. The renderings include depictions of potential wall mounted lighting. d. Ensure proposed trees are appropriate to urban planting settings along streets. Any trees planted within the street right-of-way must be approved by the City of Dover. e. The south elevation was revised due to changes in the overall height of the structure and planned usage of the first floor spaces. The revisions also include design changes to openings, format and material detailing. 96

Item 4. HI-24-09 REVISED Dover Mobility Center Garage Revised Architectural Certification Review Report from Historic District Commission August 21, 2025 Meeting Page 11 of 13 i. Staff recommends looking at the material choice, pattern, and details of the first floor elevation as it is along the Minor Street Alley and will be visible to pedestrians and travelers through the corridor. f. The north elevation is a large expanse of blank wall (western portion). While this may be a prime location for public art, architectural features that break up the large solid wall should also be considered. The Revisions have reduced the area of the solid wall and added detailing (joint lines) g. On the north elevation for the eastern half where the parking garage concrete construction will be exposed with large openings, consideration should be given to greater detailing at the pedestrian level as this no longer appears to be a “party wall.” The Revisions have continued the brick materials and other segmentation or detailing to divide this wall and give dimension. h. Clarify the treatment of the large openings in the brick facades at the second-floor level. The Revisions note the openings are related to ventilation practices for the parking garage and sizing revisions to meet other Building Code requirements. On both street elevations, the precast concrete panels at the second level will be darker in color. i. Any revisions or changes in the identified materials may be subject to further review by the Historic District Commission. 4) The Mobility Center Garage appears to comply with the design standards of the C-2 zoning district in regard to the building façade articulation (having a base, middle and top); the step backs for the upper floors and their format. The actual dimensions will be confirmed in the Site Plan submission. a. To show compliance with these design standards the applicant is encouraged to look at how they are defining the top of the building, especially in the stair towers and top level of the parking garage concrete terminations. A cornice profile was provided for the cornice termination of the lower brick segments. 5) Some of the site improvements/amenities were not specifically described or had limited information within the application information. These items are part of the Site Plan review process. a. The proposed plan identifies an area on the street level for bicycle and scooter parking. Based on the revised 329 vehicle parking spaces (rate of one [1] bicycle space per 20 vehicle spaces), the property will be required to provide a minimum of 17 bicycle parking spaces. b. The design of the sidewalks along South Governors Avenue and South Bradford Street frontages must be evaluated with sidewalk construction standards and streetscape designs for each street. Given the volume of pedestrian traffic anticipated in the area, a minimum of a five-foot-wide sidewalk is necessary. 6) The following items should be clarified regarding the building designs. a. Identify brick material (size, form, etc.) and patterning. The Applicant has included cornice diagrams and noted future submission on brick selection. b. Clarify format and materials of the first floor area on the South Elevation – Minor Street Alley. There is an opportunity to activate this pedestrian level. 97

Item 4. HI-24-09 REVISED Dover Mobility Center Garage Revised Architectural Certification Review Report from Historic District Commission August 21, 2025 Meeting Page 12 of 13 7) Staff notes that the project location (building and site) may be an opportunity for the incorporation of public art projects, including but not limited to the proposed mural on the north facing wall and along the Minor Street Alley. 8) Staff recommends the following pertaining to the site design elements of the project: a. The sidewalk system on the street frontage should continue and include barrier free access, crosswalk striping, etc. at the points of intersection with the entrance and exit drive aisles. b. Any proposed landscaping or tree planting locations, and lighting fixture locations should be depicted on the plan and be consistent with the character of these elements as they exist within the Loockerman context area. This will be part of the Site Plans. 9) For building construction, the requirements of the building code or fire code must be complied with. Consult with the Building Inspections Staff and Fire Marshal regarding these requirements. The resolution of these items can impact the site design in some cases. 10) In the event that major changes and revisions to the design, materials, or site layout occur in the finalization of the plan and/or construction drawings contact the Department of Planning and Inspections. These changes may require resubmittal for review by the Historic District Commission. 11) This site development plan for this project is also subject to the application and review process for Site Development Plan (Article 10 §2 of the Zoning Ordinance) before the Planning Commission. Note: Additional technical items for compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and other regulations may be identified during the Site Plan Process. The Revised project will also be subject to a Revised Site Plan Review process and review comments pertaining specifically to the Revised Site Plan set will be issued at that time. 12) The applicant shall be aware that Building Permits are required to proceed with any construction activities on the project site. The permit applications must comply with the approvals and conditions granted through the Architectural Review Certification and Site Plan Review process. 13) The applicant should be aware that a Sign Permit is required to proceed with the placement of signage on the property. VII. Historic District Commission Action on Revised Submission The Historic District Commission considered the Revised Proposal at their August 21, 2025 Meeting and has provided a recommendation in regard to the Architectural Review Certification for the Dover Mobility Center Garage and associated Site Improvements as Revised. The recommendation reflects consideration of the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone. The specific conditions of the recommendation are noted in this 98

Governors Avenue DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 3 Development Narrative Letter, Site Plan set, and Architectural Graphics set with building elevations and 3-D views, to the Department of Planning and Inspections on June 13, 2025. It was reviewed as HI-25-02 before the Historic District Commission on July 17, 2025. There was previous proposal in 2011 for demolition of the building and redevelopment of the property with applications HI-11-04 Acme Site Redevelopment Master Plan and S-11-11 Lands at DDP at 120 South Governors Avenue: Master Plan. The plans were never finalized and expired. Preliminary Land Use Services Review (PLUS): The PLUS Review is required by a City of Dover Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for certain types of projects. Due to its Downtown Dover Redevelopment Target Area, this project was not required to complete PLUS Review process. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The application proposes construction of a mixed-use commercial and multi-family (apartment) building with associated site improvements for the development of ‘The Governor.’ The property is located on the west side of South Governors Avenue and midway between Reed Street and West Loockerman Street. It is bounded by South New Street on the west. The four-story structure is being designed to include 120 residential apartment units, a rooftop courtyard, grocery, retail and restaurant spaces, and a child day care facility with other site improvements such as a parking lot, courtyard, and landscaping. Capital City 2030: Transforming Downtown Dover Master Plan (Capital City 2030) identified this project as a priority project for the revitalization of Downtown Dover. The Governor will be located directly across from the proposed Site Plan S-25-01 Dover Mobility Center (Parking Garage), which is also prioritized in the Capital City 2030. Additionally, the proposed mixed-use redevelopment project will support an additional revitalization strategy within the Master Plan, which is to increase the number of mixed-income residents living in downtown, provide access to food within Downtown Dover, and increase retail and service opportunities. It is also identified as a Key Project in the Downtown Development District Plan. Surrounding Land Uses The subject property is within the Downtown Development District, located one block north of Loockerman Street. The site is bordered by South Governors Avenue to the east and South New Street to the west. As previously noted, the parcels are zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) and within the Historic District. Properties immediately adjacent to the subject project location are also zoned C-2. Others in the immediate area are zoned RG-1 (General Residence Zone). The subject property is currently vacant with recent demolition of the one-story Auto Parts/AutoPlus retail store and daycare center; (known as the Acme site). The largest of the subject parcels is within the H (Historic District Zone), as are properties to the south and east, as well as to the north fronting South Governors Avenue. The smaller parcels that are adjacent to the main subject of this application are outside of the H (Historic District Zone). Properties west of the subject site across South New Street are also outside of the H (Historic District Zone). Surrounding uses are a combination of mixed use and residential, with a church located at the southeast corner of South New Street and Reed Street. 113

Item 5. S-25-11 The Governor: Mixed-Use Building at 120 S. Governors Avenue DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 4 III. ZONING REVIEW C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) The subject property is zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone). Article 3 §13 of the Zoning Ordinance details the permitted uses within the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) as well as design standards. Article 4, §4.14 provides the bulk standards for the C-2 zone. The subject property fronts on two streets, South Governors Avenue and South New Street. The C-2 zone requires a zero minimum front setback and a zero minimum side setback, but a minimum of five feet if a side setback is provided. Per the Site Data table, the front setback ranges from 6.16 feet on South Governors Avenue to 52.27 on South New Street. Side setback ranges from 10.9 feet on the north lot line to 21.7 feet on the south lot line. The building height and number of stories (at four stories) are in compliance with the C-2 zone. The floor area ratio (FAR) proposed is 1.81, which is in compliance with the maximum FAR allowed of 5.0. The total lot coverage of the project is listed as 78.6%. The C-2 zone does not have a maximum lot coverage requirement. The C-2 zoning district also includes some design standards provisions. See the code excerpt below: Article 3 Section 13 13.5 Design standards. The following standards shall apply to the site and building development in the central commercial zone (C-2): 13.51 Façade articulation. Building facades should incorporate design elements to provide a base, middle, and top of the building to reinforce the pedestrian scale at the street level. 13.52 Height. For buildings greater than four stories in height, then the upper floors above the fourth story shall step back six feet for fifty percent of the width of the primary facade. For buildings greater than six stories, then the upper floors above the sixth floor shall step back an additional six feet on the primary façade. These step back areas may begin at a lower height than these minimums as part of the building design in order to be compatible with the character of the area. 13.53 Step back areas. The step back areas should be open to the sky and can be open air balcony spaces or other design architectural features that are not enclosed spaces. 13.54 Off-street parking. Off-street parking lots shall not be permitted to be situated between the street line and the primary facade of the principal building. Consideration should be given to locating parking to the side or rear of the building. 13.55 Screening. Any off-street parking lots provided shall be screened from the street line by buildings, landscaping, or other means. Off-street parking lots shall be screened from adjacent residential zones and residential uses. This screening provision does not apply to adjacent alleys. The plan as presented complies with these design standards. The façade on S. Governors Avenue includes step backs at the second floor level and above. Child Day Care Facility The proposed use of a portion of the building as a child day care facility is required to be considered as a Conditional Use per Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 14 and Article 10 Section 1. When serving more that thirteen (13) children the facility meets the definition as a Child Day Care Center. It also requires a parking rate based on the one space per adult attendant and one space per every ten children and also outdoor play space per State requirements. 114

The Loockerman Context is described on pages 2-7 and 2-8 of the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone. The Design Standards and Guidelines describe this context as “a coherent, densely-built commercial area that would have an attractive mix of historic and new buildings and related parking.” Location within the Dover Historic District Zone requires proposals for demolition, new construction, building additions, and certain renovation or rehabilitation activities to existing buildings to receive an Architectural Review Certificate. As stated in the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone, an Architectural Review Certificate will be granted “if it is found that the architectural style, general design, height, bulk and setbacks, arrangement location and materials affecting the exterior appearance are generally in harmony with neighboring structures and complementary to the traditional architectural standards of the historic district.” In accordance with Article 10 §3.2, the Historic District Commission will provide a recommendation to the Planning Commission regarding the project’s compliance with the architectural review standards. This proposal must be reviewed for conformity with the design criteria guidelines found in Chapter 3: Maintenance, Repair, Preservation and Restoration of Existing Historic Buildings and Chapter 4: New Construction, Additions, Demolition and Relocation. Information on the review considerations is given below. New Construction The Design Standards and Guidelines for New Construction (Chapter 4: pages 4-1 through 4-8) provide the design criteria and development guidelines. The guidelines specify the following individual considerations for new construction to be considered in review by the Historic District Commission (and Planning Commission) of the project for Architectural Review Certification: • Style • Scale (building to reflect dominant cornice and roof height of adjacent buildings) • Elevation of the First Floor • Floor-to-Floor heights • Bays, windows, and doors (size, relationship, spacing of) 115

Item 5. S-25-11 The Governor: Mixed-Use Building at 120 S. Governors Avenue DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 6 • Absolute Size (compare overall size of new building) • Massing (relationship of solid-to-void) • Orientation (location of primary façade) • Proportions (comparison of height to width of building and elements) • Materials • Forms (shape of building and roof to be complementary) • Siting (location of building on lot and in relation to street) • High density/ large-scale construction Design criteria and development guidelines specific to the Loockerman Historic Context are detailed on page 4-6 of the Design Standards and Guidelines and provide that “the siting of new construction in the Loockerman historic context should conform to the building line of adjacent buildings, to reinforce the sense of the ‘wall’ of buildings, especially along Loockerman Street. New commercial buildings should occupy the full width of their lot at the street line. Freestanding "object" buildings that do not conform to the street and lot lines should not be permitted in the Loockerman historic context. Where a commercial building is built adjacent to a vacant lot, it should be built with a party wall in anticipation of subsequent new construction being built adjacent and up to the property line.” The Design Standards and Guidelines Chapter 3 includes information about the use of certain materials within the Historic District. The Design Standards and Guidelines note that “the vacant lots to the north and south of Loockerman Street are not desirable locations for large-scale construction, because they are in the transition area between the commercial and residential zoning districts.” HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION - RECOMMENDATION The Historic District Commission considered the application HI-25-02 on July 17, 2025, regarding an Architectural Review Certificate for construction of The Governor: Mixed Use Building at 120 S. Governors Avenue. The Historic District Commission considered the proposal for construction and has provided a recommendation to the Planning Commission in regard to the Architectural Review Certification for the project. The specific recommendation involved consideration of the Design Standards and Guidelines. See attached Recommendation Report from the Historic District Commission. The Planning Commission should act upon the Architectural Review Certification as part of any motion to approve this project, or as a separate motion if necessary. In taking this action, the Planning Commission is to consider the standards and guidelines found in Chapter 4 of the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone and other referenced sections. V. PARKING SUMMARY The C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) does not include a minimum parking requirement. Additionally, Article 6 §3 of the Zoning Ordinance states: For new construction within the downtown redevelopment target area, as described in appendix C of the Dover Code of Ordinances, there is no minimum off-street parking requirement based on use. To utilize this exception, a parking strategy statement must be submitted for review as part of the site development plan approval required by appendix B, zoning, article 10, section 2. The applicant has submitted a Parking Strategy Statement with the application. A summary of the key points in the Parking Strategy includes the small parking lot of thirteen (13) spaces on the site, 116

Item 5. S-25-11 The Governor: Mixed-Use Building at 120 S. Governors Avenue DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 7 utilization of parking availability in the Dover Mobility Center (Parking Garage), on-site bicycle parking (exterior racks and interior storage areas), and opportunities for other modes of transportation including pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit. Bicycle Parking Bicycle parking shall be provided for parking spaces at a rate of one (1) bicycle parking space for every twenty (20) parking spaces. Based on the 13 parking spaces provided, 1 bicycle space is required. The Plans submitted include 40 bicycle parking spaces consists of 20 spaces in an interior storage space and exterior bicycle racks within the west facing court and at the front entry on Governors Avenue. VI. SITE CONSIDERATIONS Loading Zone Access and Site Access The proposed Site Plan has no vehicular access from South Governors Avenue but provides two access points from South New Street with one as an entrance and one as an exit for the one-way circulation. This access leads to the small surface parking lot and the loading zone. A loading zone is shown on the plan along the southern side of the building. This proposed loading zone narrows 21.7’ to 18’, which may present issues for delivery vehicles to maneuver. Pedestrian Site Access The proposed building presents to the sidewalk along South Governors Avenue, proving convenient pedestrian access from the Governors Avenue sidewalk. Most of the parking for this site will be provided by the adjacent Mobility Center, which is located across South Governors Avenue. Direct access via a dedicated mid-block crosswalk or other devices approved by the City and DelDOT should be installed on South Governors Avenue to safe crossing of the road. There is also sidewalk along S. New St with connections leading to the court (plaza) area with multiple building entries. Trash Strategy The applicant has submitted a trash strategy that is attached. The Zoning Ordinance requires two (2) dumpsters for the first 48 residential units, and one (1) additional for every additional 24 units. The Governor proposes 120 units, requiring five (5) dumpsters. It also requires two (2) dumpsters for any non-residential units, totaling seven (7) dumpsters. The applicant proposes two (2) external dumpsters and seven (7) internal trash rooms. Opaque Barrier Requirements Waiver Request – Elimination of Fence Component The applicant has submitted an attached request to eliminate the opaque barrier portion of the buffer and to require only the continuous evergreen screen portion of the buffer along the entirety of the common property line with the parcel to the north (Lands of Family Legacy) which is currently used as residential. The Landscape Plan shows a hedge planting with Magnolia Tees interspersed as the landscaping screening. VII. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE The application proposes a mixed-use commercial and multi-family (apartment) building. The four- story building includes space for retail, daycare, 120 residential apartments, and a roof-top courtyard, with 13 vehicle parking spaces and recreation amenities. The proposed four-story building will be 60 feet tall. The proposed mixed-use building will feature two main material palettes. The first includes a blend of masonry colors, feature material such as copper-brown metal panels, matte black 117

Item 5. S-25-11 The Governor: Mixed-Use Building at 120 S. Governors Avenue DAC Report of September 3, 2025 Page 8 metal trim, fiber cement panel in neutral tones, and black or dark bronze decorative metal elements and frames which will be wrapped around the building’s northeast and southeast corners. The second includes neutral tones of plank siding and fiber cement panel, matte black metal trim, masonry, and black or dark bronze decorative metal elements and window frames. The building’s façade on S. Governors Avenue will primarily feature retail frontages that alternate between masonry piers, glazing, fiber cement panel piers, and accent metal panels. Both street-facing elevations follow a brickwork pattern of varying orientations up to cornice lines, where it then transitions to a more muted expression for the upper levels. The u-shaped form of the building creates an outer court on the west elevation. Per the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §2.52 defines the “court” limitations where the depth of court can not exceed the width. For this building, the court depth is 111.2 feet as compared to the court width of 51.6 feet. The Planning Commission will need to address this form during the Architectural Review Certification. VIII. ACTIVE RECREATION AREA PLAN Residential projects require Active Recreation Areas. The proposed development qualifies for an exemption under Article 5, §10.515 Residential developments located within the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area as defined in Appendix C. Under this provision, the applicant must provide 75 square feet of active recreation per dwelling unit with a minimum of 2,500 square feet provided on site. With 120 units, the required active recreation area is 9,000 SF. The plan identifies a park area with a dog park, playground area, and a connecting path; interior spaces including community spaces and a fitness center; a courtyard wellness area; and a rooftop courtyard amenity of 7,225 SF. The Open Space and Recreation Plan is subject to review by the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee and will be presented to the Committee on September 9, 2025. See the attached Active Recreation Area Plan Review Report for details and comments. The Committee will make a recommendation to the Planning Commission. IX. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN Tree Planting Requirements The Zoning Ordinance further requires tree planting at a rate of one tree per 3,000 SF of non- woodland development area. Based on the total non-woodland area for the submitted plan of 86,307 SF, 29 trees are required to be planted. The Tree Preservation and Density table indicates that 29 trees are required based on a site area of 86,037 SF. The applicant has proposed to retain 7 trees and plant 28 new trees. However, of the new trees only eighteen trees are on the site and ten are planted as street trees. This planting plan will need to be accepted through consideration of a Tree Mitigation Plan as trees are to be planted on-site. Request for Tree Mitigation Plan The applicant has submitted a Request Consideration of a Tree Mitigation Plan, requesting that some of required trees be planted off-site as street trees along the street frontages of the subject property. This Tree Mitigation Plan was provided for consideration by the Planning Commission at a rate of 1 tree per 1 deficit tree as per Article 5, Section 16 of the Zoning Ordinance; see below. The specific planting locations for the ten (10) off-site tree plantings are documented on the Landscape Plan. 118

KENT CONSERVATION DISTRICT 1679 SOUTH DUPONT HIGHWAY • DOVER, DELAWARE 19901• (302) 608-5370 • WWW.KENTCD.ORG CITY OF DOVER ADMINISTRATIVE SITE PLAN REVIEW SEPTEMEBER 2025 APPLICATION: The Governor: Mixed Use Building at 120 S. Governors Avenue FILE #: S-25-11 REVIEWING AGENCY: Kent Conservation District CONTACT PERSON: Cullen Baker PHONE: (302) 608 - 5370 EMAIL: stormwater@kentcd.org THE SUBJECT PROPOSAL HAS BEEN REVIEWED FOR CODE COMPLIANCE, PLAN CONFORMITY AND COMPLETENESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGENCY’S AUTHORITY AND AREA OF EXPERTISE. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ELEMENTS WHICH NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE APPLICANT: Source: 2019 Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Regulations CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS: 1. As the disturbance for this site will exceed 5,000 square feet, a detailed sediment and stormwater management plan must be reviewed and approved by the District prior to any land disturbing activity (i.e. clearing, grubbing, filling, grading, etc.) taking place. The review fee and a completed Application for a Detailed Plan are due at the time of plan submittal to the District’s office. 2. The following notes must appear on the record plan: a. The Kent Conservation District reserves the right to enter private property for purposes of periodic site inspection. b. The Kent Conservation District reserves the right to add, modify, or delete any erosion or sediment control measure, as it deems necessary. c. A clear statement of defined maintenance responsibility for stormwater management facilities must be provided on the Record Plan. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1. We request that the 2015 imagery be used for the existing conditions of parcels 43,42, & 37. Historically those sites had buildings that could account towards the reduction of impervious for the proposed conditions. 2. Refer to Delaware 5101 Sediment and Stormwater Regulations 5.6.2.4 for guidance in reduction of impervious for RPv Compliance. 3. Since the site is reducing the impervious coverage, we can assume that there will be a reduction of flow for the Cv and Fv storm events with no adverse impact, resulting in no need for a stormwater BMP to control the Cv and Fv storm events. 4. Please note the Kent Conservation District will not review an application more than three times. If after the third review the plan is still not found to be approvable, the application will be denied, and a new application with review fees are to be re-submitted to continue a detailed plan review. 5. As a reminder, the Kent Conservation District is required to verify that a Notice of Intent (NOI) for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activity under a NPDES General Permit has been received by DNREC prior to District approval. 6. A letter of no objection to recordation will be provided upon approval of the Sediment and Stormwater Management Plan. 141

Item 5. CITY OF DOVER Dover/Kent DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE County Metropolitan ADVISORY BRIEF Planning D.A.C. MEETING DATE: 9/3/2025 Organization S-25-11 The Governor Mixed Use Building at 120 S Governors Avenue FILE # S-25-11 REVIEWING AGENCY: Dover/Kent County MPO CONTACT PERSON: Malcolm Jacob PHONE #: (302) 387-6030 Attached, please find comments submitted by Dover Kent MPO for each of the current City of Dover Development Advisory Committee (DAC) applications. These comments are a part of the MPO’s ongoing goals of promoting transportation safety and connectivity within the region. They are submitted in accordance with the support given by the MPO Council on November 6, 2024. Issues of concern to the MPO are effective transit, reducing the amount of vehicle emissions by shortening or eliminating trips, and facilities for alternative modes of transportation, including bicycle and pedestrian access. The MPO considers the bicycle facilities required by the City of Dover to be the standard for all applications, not to be waived. City of Dover Planning Commission Site Development Plan Review S-25-11 The Governor Mixed Use Building at 120 S Governors Avenue Sidewalks are included in the site plan, both along the property’s frontage and internally. The applicant should follow both the City of Dover Code for sidewalks 1 and the DelDOT specifications for sidewalks, 2 to make sure the requirements of both entities are met. Any sidewalks that are damaged or removed during the construction process will need to be replaced. A connection between New Street and Governors Avenue should be considered. The loading zone on the southern end of the property would be an ideal location for this complete connection. The current site plan requires large vehicles to back into or out of the loading zone and exit the property by driving past the daycare, which could lead to conflicting uses during peak hours.

Item 5. creating an exit onto Governors Avenue and restricting its use to certain types of vehicles (such as fire trucks and trash collection vehicles), the traffic flow of the property would be improved. A related issue is the availability of space for large vehicles. The planned building will include 120 apartment units, a grocery store, retail and restaurant spaces, and other residential and commercial uses, all within a small area. This will result in large vehicles (such as moving vans, freight trucks, and trash collection vehicles) constantly needing to access the property. The loading zone and parking area will not always be able to fit all of these vehicles. As a result, the applicant will need to coordinate with the City of Dover and strategically direct these vehicles so that they do not obstruct the flow of traffic on Governors Avenue, a major corridor for vehicle traffic, and that they do not block the drive aisle or parking area on the property. A crosswalk should be added to the parking area on the western side of the property, extending northward across the drive aisle and towards the daycare. Pedestrians tend to use the most direct route, which means if they are headed to the daycare, they are less likely to use the planned crosswalk that extends eastward. Another crosswalk would help with keeping these people safe and giving them a designated place to walk. The applicant should ensure that bicycle racks are included in the plan, in order to meet the City of Dover’s requirements on bicycle parking. This should be done at a rate of one (1) bicycle parking space for every twenty (20) vehicle parking spaces. 3 If more information on specific types of bicycle racks is needed, please contact Dover Kent MPO. Finally, motorists are likely to walk across Governors Avenue between this property and the planned mobility center, either as tenants of the apartments or customers at one of the businesses. They will probably try to cross the road directly in front of the parking garage, as the nearest crosswalk is to the south at the intersection with Loockerman Street, which is not as convenient. Given the expected increase in pedestrian traffic, a crosswalk with a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) should be considered for the purpose of creating a safe connection between the two properties. RRFBs are identified as a Proven Safety Countermeasure by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and they have been shown to reduce pedestrian crashes by up to 56%. 4 They are most useful at unsignalized locations with noted pedestrian safety concerns. Dover Kent MPO is willing to work with the applicant and DelDOT to find solutions to the issue of getting pedestrians safely across Governors Avenue. If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the above contact person and the Planning Department as soon as possible. 3 “Dover Code: Appendix B, Article 6, Section 3.10.” City of Dover, DE. https://library.municode.com/de/dover/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIICOOR_APXBZO_ART6OREPAD RLOFA_S3REOREPASP. 4 Kent County Safety Action Plan.

Item 5. August 1, 2025 City of Dover Planning Commission c/o Department of Planning and Inspections P.O. Box 475 Dover, DE 19903-0475 RE: Parking Strategy Statement DOWNTOWN DOVER DEVELOPMENT CORP / THE GOVERNOR Dover, Delaware 2025041.00 Dear Commission Members: On behalf of our client, Downtown Dover Development Corporation, we are hereby submitting this parking strategy statement for your consideration for the project to be known as ‘The Governor’. The properties associated with the project are zoned C-2 - Central Commercial and H - Historic. There is no minimum parking requirement based on use for this zoning designation within the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area, however, this parking strategy statement is required for consideration to meet code requirements. While there is not a minimum parking requirement in general, the daycare use requires 1 space / 10 children and 1 space / adult attendant (adult attendants will park in the Mobility Center.) The project site is currently vacant with the former building (which housed a day care and an auto parts store) having been demolished in anticipation of this project. The existing parking lot is still in place but will be demolished for this project. The lot formerly included 43 City of Dover permit parking spaces, however, these appear not be used anymore. The proposed building will be a four-story, mixed-use building, which will include 120 apartments, grocery store, daycare and street-facing retail spaces. The apartments will consist of a mix of studio, one, two, and three bedroom units. The ground floor will house the grocery store, daycare, retail spaces, and shared amenity area for the apartment residents. The ground floor also includes a bike/scooter storage room for use by the building occupants. The upper three floors will house the apartments. The grocery store will have entrances on both sides of the building, thus allowing grocery users to park on Governors Ave. or in the mobility center across the street. The proposed site will provide 13 short-term parking spaces in a parking lot along the New Street side of the property for pickup/drop off use by the day care and by the grocery store users. It is intended that the Downtown Dover Mobility Center, which will be located across Governors Avenue from the site, will provide the parking necessary for the apartment residents, employees of the uses located in the building, 144

Item 5. and the majority of the customers of the retail units and grocery store. On-street 2- hour parking exists along Governors Ave and unlimited time parking is available on New St. as well. Pedestrian connections to the downtown sidewalk network from multiple points around the building are provided. The bike/scooter storage room will provide secure storage for the building occupants thereby encouraging bicycle/scooter use instead of a vehicle. Outdoor bike racks are also provided for users of the retail/grocery facilities, again encouraging transportation via other means than a vehicle. Additionally, the Mobility Center will also provide options for multiple modes of transportation for the residents and users of the building. These include bicycle & scooter parking, a bus stop on Governors Ave. in front of the center (across the street from this building), rideshare & ride hail (Uber, Lyft, etc.) pickup/drop off, and possible future carshare/bikeshare opportunities. All of these options help to reduce the parking necessary for the building. We believe ‘The Governor’ will be a great benefit to Downtown Dover. Please consider this statement as part of your review of the project. Sincerely, BECKER MORGAN GROUP, INC. Michael J. Henry, LEED AP Senior Associate MJH/ 202504100af-ltr.docx 145

Item 5. WAIVER REQUEST DOWNTOWN DOVER DEVELOPMENT CORP. / ‘THE GOVERNOR’ SITE PLAN OPAQUE BARRIER REQUIREMENTS REQUEST: We request that the opaque barrier be eliminated and that only the continuous evergreen screen be required. EXTENT OF THE REQUEST: Article 5, section 7.2 states “Visual and sound screening shall be provided on a non-residential use when abutting a residential use, except in front yard areas. The screening shall be required to be installed on site as part of planning commission or administrative site plan approval. Where required, screening shall consist of an opaque barrier at least six feet in height, accompanied by landscaping.“ We are requesting a waiver to eliminate the opaque barrier portion of the buffer and to require only the continuous evergreen screen portion of the buffer along the entirety of the common property line with the parcel to the north which is currently used as residential. BASIS FOR REQUEST: Article 5, section 7.24 of the City of Dover Zoning Code states “The planning commission may waive the requirement for the opaque barrier (wood fence, masonry wall, or earthen berm) and require only landscaping as required by section 7.22—Landscaping options in cases where noise is not a concern and the vegetation alone is considered a desirable aesthetic alternative. We believe that noise is not a concern for this area, as the doors exiting this area of the building are for electrical rooms, storage, stairwell, and a fitness area and thus the request to eliminate the opaque barrier. 202504100ag-Waiver.docx 148

Item 5. WAIVER REQUEST DOWNTOWN DOVER DEVELOPMENT CORP. ‘THE GOVERNOR’ TREE PLANTING REQUIREMENTS / TREE MITIGATION REQUEST REQUEST: Due to the size and layout of the proposed improvements which will encompass the majority of the site, the Downtown Dover Development Corporation requests a waiver from the tree planting requirements of the zoning code for the subject site. We propose to plant the required number of trees to meet the zoning code requirements with a combination of on and off site plantings. The offsite plantings will be planted within the street right of way of both Governors Avenue and New Street as shown on the submitted landscape plan. EXTENT OF THE REQUEST: By code, the property will be required to provide 29 trees on the subject site. The project will save 7 existing trees and provide 28 new trees for a total of 35 trees. 18 of the new trees will be planted within the property. We request to plant the additional 10 trees as street trees along both the Governors Avenue and New Street frontages as an enhancement to the streetscape for both streets. BASIS FOR REQUEST: Article 5, section 16.91 states that The Planning Commission may waive the provisions of [sub]sections 16.52, 16.53, and 16.62, and require replacement planting for mitigation purposes should the planning commission determine, after demonstration by the applicant, that due to physical limitations of the land which would otherwise prohibit the reasonable use of the land, or for purposes of preserving, protecting and promoting the interest of public health, safety, welfare and/or public convenience. All tree mitigation plantings must occur within the corporate limits of the City of Dover. Tree mitigation may occur off-site in accordance with the provisions listed below in this ordinance: (a) If a waiver is sought from the provisions of § [subsection] 16.62, new tree plantings are required 149

Página 150

Item 5. at a rate of 1:1. All new tree plantings shall meet the minimum size at planting requirements of the City of Dover table of trees. The proposed facility is a multi-story mixed use building with retail space, daycare and residential apartments. The building, parking, loading area, courtyard and fire lanes will encompass the majority of the site thus leaving little space for tree plantings on the property. For these reasons, we request that a waiver be granted allowing a portion of the proposed trees to be planted offsite within the street right of way of both Governors Avenue and New Street as an enhancement to the streetscapes which border the property. 202504100ai-tree-waiver.docx 150

The site is bordered by South Governors Avenue to the east, South New Street to the west, and part of the Minor Street (paper alley) to the south. As previously noted, the parcels are zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) and within the Historic District. Properties immediately adjacent to the subject project location are also zoned C-2. Others in the immediate area are zoned RG-1 (General Residence Zone). The subject property is currently vacant with recent demolition of the one-story Auto Parts/AutoPlus retail store and daycare center; known as the Acme site). The largest of the subject parcels is within the H (Historic District) Zone, as are properties to the south and east, as well as to the north fronting South Governors Avenue. The smaller parcels that are adjacent to the main subject of this application are outside of the H (Historic District Zone). Properties west of the subject site across South New Street are also outside of the H (Historic District Zone). Surrounding uses are a combination of mixed use and residential, with a church located at the southeast corner of South New Street and Reed Street. Previous Applications The property owners are the Downtown Dover Development Corporation c/o Downtown Dover Partnership and the City of Dover.

Only 120 South Governors was included in that submission, not the additional parcels located at 105, 111, and 115 South New Street. The application was held at the request of the applicant while additional design refinements were made to the submission. The design changes were made to the proposal and the status of the three additional parcels located at 105, 111, and 115 South New Street was clarified and incorporated into the 120 South Governors Avenue Mixed Use Development Narrative Letter, Site Plan set, and Architectural Graphics set with building elevations and 3-D views, which were submitted to the Department of Planning and Inspections on June 13, 2025. This latest submission is the one under consideration. There was previous proposal in 2011 for demolition of the building and redevelopment of the property with applications HI-11-04 Acme Site Redevelopment Master Plan and S-11-11 Lands at DDP at 120 South Governors Avenue: Master Plan; the plans were never finalized and expired. II. HISTORIC PROPERTY INFORMATION Review of Historic Maps Historically, this block of Downtown between South Governors Avenue and South New Street north of West Loockerman Street was part of an area known as the Comegy’s Lots laid out in the 1850s with development occurring 1859-1885. The 1868 Beers Map shows the subject site primarily vacant with one building owned by L. Geiser and a school building. By 1885, a series of residential dwellings fronting on both Governors Avenue and New Street were in existence. The subject site is just north of the original building location of the Robbins Hose Fire Company building. The 1887 Map of Dover published by W.B. Roe continues to show a public school in the 153

Item 5. HI-25-02 The Governor: 120 South Governors Avenue Mixed Use Development Architectural Review Certification Recommendation Report from Historic District Commission July 17, 2025 Meeting Page 4 of 10 southern portion of the site with dwellings to the north. The Sanborn Fire Insurance Map Series from 1885 – 1944 with updates also documents the history of buildings on the subject site. The 1885 Map shows a two-story school building and a Sunday School & Meeting House building with two-story residential dwellings with accessory buildings (garages, sheds). By 1897, the school building was replaced by a Methodist Protestant Church building with the residential dwellings remaining. These uses for the subject site continue through the early twentieth century. By the mid-twentieth century, the church building was replaced by a one-story cinderblock store building adjacent to Governors Avenue. In the late 1960s, the subject site was redeveloped with the recently demolished masonry commercial building (the Acme grocery store building) setback in the middle of the block; its construction appears to have eliminated approximately nine residential dwellings. Property Information The subject property is located within H (Historic District Zone) as established by the City of Dover. There are four contexts that contribute to the historic character of Dover, including the Green Historic Context; the Victorian Historic Context; the Loockerman Historic Context; and the Capitol Square Historic Context. This property is located within the Loockerman Historic Context. Buildings in the Loockerman Context include a wide variety of nineteenth century commercial buildings. The Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone describe this context as “a coherent, densely-built commercial area that would have an attractive mix of historic and new buildings and related parking.” The subject property is located within the boundaries of a National Register of Historic Places Historic District, specifically the Victorian Dover Historic District (K-396) but the mid-twentieth century commercial building was considered a non-contributing building. III. PROJECT PROPOSAL PROJECT PROPOSAL (Submission of June 2025): The application proposes the construction of a 169,080 SF Mixed Use Building including grocery, retail and restaurant spaces, a child day care facility, 120 apartment units, and a roof-top courtyard with site improvements of a parking lot, a courtyard, and landscaping. It will be located directly across from the proposed Dover Mobility Center (Parking Garage), which is prioritized in the Capital City 2030: Transforming Downtown Dover Master Plan because the parking and related infrastructure will support the transformation of the Capital City into a vibrant hub for commerce, living, and cultural activities. Additionally, the proposed mixed use redevelopment project will support an additional revitalization strategy within the Master Plan, which is to increase the number of mixed-income residents living in downtown, provide access to food within downtown Dover, and increase retail and service opportunities It is also identified as a Key Project in the Downtown Development District Plan. The Applicant’s submission includes a Narrative Letter, a Site Plan set, and Architectural Graphics set with building elevations and 3-D views. The elements of the project are as follows: 1. Building Construction: The proposed four-story building will be 60 feet tall. The proposed Mixed Use building will feature two main material palettes. The first includes a blend of 154

The second includes neutral tones of plank siding and fiber cement panel, matte black metal trim, masonry, and black or dark bronze decorative metal elements and window frames. The building’s façade will primarily feature retail frontages that alternate between masonry piers, glazing, fiber cement panel piers, and accent metal panels. Both street-facing elevations follow a brickwork pattern of varying orientations up to cornice lines, where it then transitions to a more muted expression for the upper levels. 2. Parking Lot: A surface parking lot will be developed along the west side of the building with access to South New Street. The proposed Dover Mobility Center (separate project HI-24-09 and S-25-01) will be located directly across South Governors Avenue and will accommodate the anticipated parking needs of the residents, business owners, and shoppers. 3. Sidewalks and Site Amenities: The proposal maintains sidewalks along South New Street and South Governors Avenue. There are also sidewalks and crosswalks adjacent to the parking lot leading to the building. There is a west facing courtyard area in the central u- shaped area of the building. The renderings show additional amenities on the adjacent three parcels on S. New Street, including a public green space with a pollinator garden, nature playscape, and dog park. 4. Tree Planting and Landscaping: The Site Plan proposes seven trees to be planted along South New Street and the either the preservation or replacement of the existing trees along South Governors Avenue. To the northwest of the structure on South New Street (on the adjacent properties), a public green space area is proposed, incorporating trees, shrubs, and various plantings to enhance the aesthetic quality of the site and provide a natural respite within the urban landscape. A mix of trees, shrubs, and various plantings is also proposed in the courtyard of the structure. See the attached Plan submission and associated graphics and drawings for detailed information on building dimensions, locations, and material choices. IV. ZONING REVIEW The large parcel that fronts South Governors Avenue is located in the H (Historic District Zone) and subject to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §21 and referenced sections. Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §3.2 outlines the review process for Architectural Review Certification and related building height, bulk, and setback standards. The entire project area is zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone). The C-2 zone allows for “retail stores, apartments and multi-family dwellings; uses accessory to the residential units such as lobby and amenity spaces are permitted on the first floor; live-work units; parking lots and parking 155

See the code excerpt below: Article 3 Section 13 13.5 Design standards. The following standards shall apply to the site and building development in the central commercial zone (C-2): 13.51 Façade articulation. Building facades should incorporate design elements to provide a base, middle, and top of the building to reinforce the pedestrian scale at the street level. 13.52 Height. For buildings greater than four stories in height, then the upper floors above the fourth story shall step back six feet for fifty percent of the width of the primary facade. For buildings greater than six stories, then the upper floors above the sixth fl oor shall step back an additional six feet on the primary façade. These step back areas may begin at a lower height than these minimums as part of the building design in order to be compatible with the character of the area. 13.53 Step back areas. The step back areas should be open to the sky and can be open air balcony spaces or other design architectural features that are not enclosed spaces. 13.54 Off-street parking.

Off-street parking lots shall be screened from adjacent residential zones and residential uses. This screening provision does not apply to adjacent alleys. V. Review of DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES The subject property is located in the H (Historic District Zone) within the Loockerman Context. The Loockerman Context is described on pages 2-7 and 2-8 of the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone. The Design Standards and Guidelines describe this context as “a coherent, densely-built commercial area that would have an attractive mix of historic and new buildings and related parking.” Location within the Dover Historic District Zone requires proposals for demolition, new construction, building additions, and certain renovation or rehabilitation activities to existing buildings to receive an Architectural Review Certificate. As stated in the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone, an Architectural Review Certificate will be granted “if it is found that the architectural style, general 156

Item 5. HI-25-02 The Governor: 120 South Governors Avenue Mixed Use Development Architectural Review Certification Recommendation Report from Historic District Commission July 17, 2025 Meeting Page 7 of 10 design, height, bulk and setbacks, arrangement location and materials affecting the exterior appearance are generally in harmony with neighboring structures and complementary to the traditional architectural standards of the historic district.” In accordance with Article 10 §3.2, the Historic District Commission will provide a recommendation to the Planning Commission regarding the project’s compliance with the architectural review standards. This proposal must be reviewed for conformity with the design criteria guidelines found in Chapter 3: Maintenance, Repair, Preservation and Restoration of Existing Historic Buildings and Chapter 4: New Construction, Additions, Demolition and Relocation. Information on the review considerations is given below. New Construction The Design Standards and Guidelines for New Construction (Chapter 4: pages 4-1 through 4-8) provide the design criteria and development guidelines. The guidelines specify the following individual considerations for new construction to be considered in review by the Historic District Commission (and Planning Commission) of the project for Architectural Review Certification: • Style • Scale (building to reflect dominant cornice and roof height of adjacent buildings) • Elevation of the First Floor • Floor-to-Floor heights • Bays, windows, and doors (size, relationship, spacing of) • Absolute Size (compare overall size of new building) • Massing (relationship of solid-to-void) • Orientation (location of primary façade) • Proportions (comparison of height to width of building and elements) • Materials • Forms (shape of building and roof to be complementary) • Siting (location of building on lot and in relation to street) • High density/ large-scale construction Design criteria and development guidelines specific to the Loockerman Historic Context are detailed on page 4-6 of the Design Standards and Guidelines and provide that “the siting of new construction in the Loockerman historic context should conform to the building line of adjacent buildings, to reinforce the sense of the ‘wall’ of buildings, especially along Loockerman Street. New commercial buildings should occupy the full width of their lot at the street line. Freestanding "object" buildings that do not conform to the street and lot lines should not be permitted in the Loockerman historic context. Where a commercial building is built adjacent to a vacant lot, it should be built with a party wall in anticipation of subsequent new construction being built adjacent and up to the property line.” The Design Standards and Guidelines Chapter 3 includes information about the use of certain materials within the Historic District. The proposed project must also be reviewed for compliance with the standards established by the Zoning Ordinance. The standards include items such as setbacks from property lines, lot coverage, height, etc. This Proposal for the 120 South Governors Avenue Mixed Use Building appears to 157

Item 5. HI-25-02 The Governor: 120 South Governors Avenue Mixed Use Development Architectural Review Certification Recommendation Report from Historic District Commission July 17, 2025 Meeting Page 8 of 10 conform to the bulk requirements of the C-2 zoning district; however, this should be verified via Site Plan review. The City of Dover Zoning Ordinance authorizes the Historic District Commission to waive certain bulk standards when issuing its recommendation to the Planning Commission for an Architectural Review Certificate if necessary. The Design Standards and Guidelines note that “the vacant lots to the north and south of Loockerman Street are not desirable locations for large-scale construction, because they are in the transition area between the commercial and residential zoning districts.” VI. STAFF COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Staff Comments and Recommendations for this application regarding project activities and Architectural Review Certification were provided in the Architectural Review Staff Report issued for the July 17, 2025 Historic District Commission Meeting. The following are Staff comments and recommendations for this application regarding project activities and Architectural Review Certification. 1) Staff recommends conditional approval of the Architectural Review Certificate for the Mixed Use Building at 120 South Governors Avenue project, finding that the building to be of a compatible design with the nearby buildings and with the intent of the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone. The proposed multi- use site enhances the pedestrian scale of the Downtown area and supports the Capital City 2030: Transforming Downtown Dover Master Plan. The brick exterior finishes take cues and architectural style from the buildings downtown and the form breaks up the total façade into smaller building segments and set back (steps-back) in certain areas making it look like multiple connected buildings. Sidewalk expansions and the implementations of pedestrian elements will add to the urban activity expected within the Loockerman Historic Context. 2) The following conditions are recommended by Staff to improve the project’s compliance with the recommended guidelines of the Design Standards and Guidelines. The following are recommended conditions: a. The selected brick choice should be compatible with the brick of other existing buildings in the area. Clarify the brick size and patterning. b. Clarify the window glass area material as mirrored or colored glass is not always appropriate for use in the Historic District zone. c. Clarify the edge treatment (railing material and form) at the west facing Roof Courtyard area. d. Consideration of wall or free-standing signage may require additional review. e. Consider screening of and placement of any roof-mounted equipment. f. Any light fixtures utilized on the property should be consistent with the style of the lighting used in the nearby areas of the Loockerman Context of the Historic District. g. Any revisions or changes in the identified materials may be subject to further review by the Historic District Commission. 158

Item 5. HI-25-02 The Governor: 120 South Governors Avenue Mixed Use Development Architectural Review Certification Recommendation Report from Historic District Commission July 17, 2025 Meeting Page 9 of 10 3) The Mixed Use Building at 120 S. Governors Avenue appears to comply with the design standards of the C-2 zoning district in regard to the building façade articulation (having a base, middle and top). The project has also incorporated the step backs for the lower floors (under the fourth floor). The project design show consideration of the pedestrian at the street level. 4) In regard to the placement of off-street parking, South Governors Avenue is considered the primary façade of the building. The placement of a small on-site parking lot along the S. New Street frontage of the property can be considered as it is a secondary front elevation due to the full block depth of the development site. Appropriate screening by landscaping or low fence/wall elements of the parking must be considered. 5) Some of the site improvements/amenities were not specifically described or had limited information within the application information. Please provide information for consideration and discussion. a. Consider the format of the area to the south of the building for its surface treatments, ability or limitation for pedestrian access, landscaping of area, and any screening of this loading area at its connection to South Governors Avenue. b. Section 5-5 of the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone details recommendations for signage. Signs at the storefront level should be oriented primarily to pedestrians and sized and designed for pedestrian vision. Large-scale signs are not recommended. c. Off-street parking lots provided shall be screened from the street line by buildings, landscaping, or other means. Page 5 of the proposed submission indicates the off- street parking lot will be screened by shrubs and trees. Screening in compliance with Zoning Ordinance, Article 6, Section 5 – Supplementary Regulations for Parking and Loading Facilities and the design standards of the C-2 Zone will be further evaluated with the Site Development Plan submission. d. Provide information on the dumpster enclosure/ utility area construction and screening. 6) Clarify whether existing trees on the site or adjacent streetscape area will be preserved. If they are proposed to be removed, replacement of removed trees will be required. The development area (the property) is also subject to tree planting requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 7) Staff recommends the following pertaining to the site design elements of the project: a. The sidewalk system on the street frontage along both South New Street and South Governors Avenue should continue and include barrier free access, crosswalk striping, etc. at the points of intersection with the entrance and exit drive aisles. b. Any proposed landscaping or tree planting locations, and lighting fixture locations should be depicted on the plan and be consistent with the character of these elements as they exist within the Loockerman Context area. 159
