CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION
September 15, 2025
The Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Monday, September 15,
2025, at 6:00 PM as an In-Person Meeting and also using the phone/videoconferencing system
Webex. The Meeting Session was conducted with Chair Mr. Witham presiding. Members
present were Mr. Michael Lewis, Mr. Roach (virtual – arrived at 7:15PM), Mrs. Denney (arrived
at 6:45PM), Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Baldwin, Dr. Jones, Mr. Reaves (virtual), and Mr. Witham. Mrs.
Welsh was absent.
Staff members present were Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Ms. Sharon Duca, Mr. Dan Griffith;
City Solicitor, Mr. Jason Lyon (virtual) and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that application Site Development Master Plan S-25-12 Blue Hen
Corporate Center Pad Sites Master Plan has been deferred. They received a request from the
applicant involving S-25-12 Blue Hen Corporate Center Pad Sites Master Plan. The applicant
made that request and the letter was included in your meeting packet. They asked to defer
consideration of that application until the next meeting in October. We thought that at this point,
since part of their public notice was completed, we needed to take action on it during your
adoption of the Agenda. It will be rescheduled for an upcoming meeting, which they believe will
be the October meeting and they will have to complete public notice again for that application.
Mrs. Maucher moved to approve the Agenda as presented, less the application S-25-12 Blue Hen
Corporate Center Pad Sites Master Plan, seconded by Dr. Jones and the motion was carried 6-0
with Mr. Roach, Mrs. Denney, and Mrs. Welsh absent.
APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES OF JULY 21, 2025
Mrs. Maucher moved to approve the Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of July 21, 2025,
seconded by Mr. Baldwin and the motion was carried 6-0 with Mr. Roach, Mrs. Denney, and
Mrs. Welsh absent.
COMMUNICATIONS & REPORTS
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the next Planning Commission regular meeting is scheduled
for Monday, October 20, 2025, at 7 PM. We do have applications for that evening so please
mark your calendars.
Mrs. Melson-Williams provided an update on the regular City Council and various Committee
meetings held on July 28 & 29, 2025, August 11 & 12, 2025, and September 8 & 9, 2025.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that in case you haven’t noticed, we are missing a Planning person

again looking for a Planner II. We do have a new member of our Planning Staff and that is Mrs.
Debbie O’Brien who is joining us. She will be taking over the Community Development
Manager position as Mrs. Tracey Harvey will be retiring later this year. There is some overlap

OLD BUSINESS
Requests for Extensions of Planning Commission Approval: None
NEW BUSINESS
SB-25-02 Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision):
Conceptual Subdivision Plan - Public Hearing and 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. 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. Waiver Requested: Percentage of Lots on a cul-de-sac. This
property was reviewed in 2013-2015 as SB-13-06 Jefferson Terrace Subdivision; however, the
plan was never finalized. Application for Conceptual Subdivision Plan SB-23-01C was
conditionally approved by the Planning Commission in March 2023; previous waiver requests
were unsuccessful, and the plan expired. The properties were examined again under Conceptual
Subdivision Plan SB-24-01 and were denied by the Planning Commission on August 19, 2024.
Representatives: Mr. Troy Adams, Mountain Engineering Services Inc.; Mr. Emanuel Ehize,
property owner (online)
Mr. Witham stated that there has been a request by a resident to delay this process (for SB-25-
02). (The Chair allowed the resident to speak.)
Mr. Stephen LeBoon – 1025 Westview Terrace Dover, DE 19901
Mr. LeBoon stated that he submitted a formal postponement request to allow all parties time. He
thinks it is the most crucial and critical thing to do at this time. Me and my neighbors are waiting
on the Davis, Bowen and Friedel engineer’s report of the recent study of the extraordinary water
issues in our development. He thinks it’s prudent that we receive this Report and its findings in
totality so that he and his neighbors can look at it and then we can perceive forward with formal
objections regarding this application. This application was denied last year by this same
Commission. This has been ongoing for 14 years which is a long time. He would like to get this
Report, and so do his fellow neighbors, from the architects and engineers; so, he asks for the
postponement.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2025
Item 1.
Mr. Witham asked if he was speaking on behalf of his neighbors. Responding to Mr. Witham,
Mr. LeBoon stated yes. He believes that Ms. Joan Siple notified this Commission and there are
other neighbors like the Beikers, and Ralph and Jean Taylor who live next door to him. He does
not want to revisit this right now; he would just like to get the postponement and then make
formal objections like they did last year.
The Chair allowed others to speak on the Request to postpone.
Mr. Tom Frasier – 1102 Monroe Terrace Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Frasier stated that this parcel buts up to his land and he supports the request to postpone this
matter.
Mr. Ronald Rhodes – 1112 Monroe Terrace Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Rhodes stated that he has two properties that but up and adjoin the road that crosses
Jefferson Terrace Extension. He has some concerns about the water too and how they would put
the roadway through the two lots that he owns that join up with property being six to eight feet
below those road grades. He also supports the postponement of this application.
Mr. Griffith stated that this is just a reminder to the Commission, but the Commission does not
vote on applications from members of the public. There can be a motion made by a member of
the Commission for postponement that Commission members can act on. But members of the
public can make requests to make public comments, but the Commission does not vote on
applications from members of the public.
Mr. Lewis asked that given the fact that we already approved the agenda which includes the
hearing, are we even allowed to postpone it? Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Griffith stated that
you can still vote to postpone the application. Again, it would have to be on a motion made by
the member of the Commission.
Mr. Witham asked if the applicant for this application was present. Responding to Mr. Witham,
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated yes, he is. Planning Staff stands ready to begin the presentation as
we do with all applications with the Staff summary and then there are representatives of the
application here. Their engineer is here in the room and the property owner has joined us online.
Mr. Witham stated that they will ask the property owner to state his/her position. He believes that
the property owner submitted a letter in opposition. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Melson-
Williams stated that the property owner of the application did not submit a letter. When we
would get to public comments, there written public comments that Staff received and we would
enter at that time, those items into the record. There are two of those comments that are basically
requesting postponement of consideration of the application and then there is a letter of support
from another individual that was provided to our office.
Mr. Witham stated that what he is trying to do is allow the folks who are moving forward with
this application to state their position on the record. If they do not wish to do so, then he will turn
it over to the Commission to decide on this particular application. There may be a person who
represents a number of individuals who lives in the community or around the community, who
3

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2025
Item 1.
may oppose this application for the acceptance of this subdivision hearing.
Mr. Adams stated that he is a little bit confused. He is here to represent this application tonight.
Responding to Mr. Adams, Mr. Witham stated that he gave him an opportunity to come forward
and make an opposition.
Mr. Adams stated that he is not making a statement in opposition. He is here to represent in favor
of it. I’m the professional representing the application.
Mr. Witham stated that we have a request for the postponement of the public participation of this
application. If you are here to represent the applicant on the conceptual plan, then the question is
to you have a position with respect to the request made by the other individuals to postpone this
hearing.
Mr. Adams stated that he disagrees with them. Responding to Mr. Adams, Mr. Witham stated so
you do oppose.
Mr. Adams stated that he does oppose the postponement.
Mrs. Maucher stated that she doesn’t know if this is jumping ahead, but she is curious about the
Study and what information it would or would not provide that would generally lead to our
decision. If the Study would support or otherwise demonstrate that it’s not a good project, then
she might be inclined but she doesn’t know enough about the Study. If the engineer is available
and would like to speak to that or if we go through the whole process and then get to that. She
doesn’t know the proper process.
Mr. Witham stated let’s turn to our Planner who may explain the process. This is the first step of
the detailed process that will take place if the Commission hears the preliminary application.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that before you this evening there is an application for a
Conceptual Subdivision Plan. That Conceptual Subdivision Plan has a review report. Normally,
the process includes the opportunity for Staff to summarize that report and then the applicant to
speak to their application and then there would be a public hearing. After which time, the
Planning Commission could ask questions and then take action in regards to the application. The
process for a Subdivision involves this first step, which is this Conceptual Subdivision Plan
Review. There is a second step which is a Preliminary Subdivision Plan Review process; again,
that requires an application and public hearing before this body. As a second step, it is a more
detailed type of submission for that second step.
Mrs. Denney arrived at the meeting.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that basically for a Subdivision, it is really a three step process.
This Conceptual Subdivision Plan review, the Preliminary Subdivision Plan review, and then the
third step is an administrative process to deal with the Final Plat. This evening, it is consideration
of a Conceptual Subdivision Plan. What Mr. Witham has been trying to put into the record is the
consideration of the request that we have received from a member of the public to postpone
4
8
Página 9
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2025
Item 1.
consideration of this application. As noted by the Solicitor, you cannot vote on that action to
postpone specifically. It would have to be a motion coming from a Planning Commission
member to then act upon.
Mrs. Maucher stated that her question was more to the Report mentioned in the request to
postpone. What is that Report? What information would that give us? At this point, are those
details necessary? She understands that it’s a three step process. This Report that is mentioned is
an onsite analysis at the end of all of this.
Mr. Witham stated that we do not have this Report. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Maucher
stated she understand that we are waiting for the Report, hence the request by a resident that is
impacted by this development to postpone pending the results of that Study. But she doesn’t
understand what that Study is.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the member of the public references a Drainage Improvement
Study that is underway for the Westview Terrace area which is located to the west of the subject
property that is seeking subdivision consideration. The reference to Davis, Bowen and Friedel is
an engineering consultant that she believes is under contract with the City to develop that Study.
It is called the Drainage Improvement Engineering Support for the Woodbrook Development.
Again, that is located to the west. She is not sure if Mr. Jason Lyon can elaborate on what that
Study is but she believes that is focuses on an area to the west of where this subdivision is
proposed.
Mr. Lyon stated that this Study is to evaluate the drainage concerns of Woodbrook. The scope is
to the west of this application. It is west of Westview Terrace; inclusive is the pond that is
adjacent to Westview Terrace and upstream of that pond towards the northwest. It should be
noted that when this pond drains, it does drain under Westview Terrace to the east to the area of
this development.
Mr. Witham further stated that as our Planner indicated, the only way that this application can’t
be considered is if there is a motion to approve the delay. There is no motion to delay so we will
have to proceed.
Mr. LeBoon stated that last time, this project was denied. He is trying to give this gentleman his
benefit of the doubt to allow the inspection of the findings of this Report. I am being very fair. I
think I should be commended for that. If the postponement is not granted, then hopefully we will
seek it from Council in the next few weeks. He just thinks it is in the best interest for this party
and all of the neighbors. It says it right here, this project aims to address long standing flooding.
He has already said it to this Commission; the Governor’s Order has prohibited his property from
being built on or near a floodplain. So, I hope you would grant it. Responding to Mr. LeBoon,
Mr. Witham stated that you do understand that this isn’t part of it. This is a process. The only
thing that is before the Commission today is the public hearing of the Conceptual Subdivision
Plan. It is not a final application.
Mr. LeBoon stated true, but he is just trying to wait for the Report. If the Report says there is no
flooding in the area and contradicts the engineer and 80 years of history, so be it. But he thinks
5
9
Página 10
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2025
Item 1.
that is why they have rushed this application. They rushed to get it in here because they know
this Report is pending.
Mrs. Denney stated that she is coming in late but she has gone over everything and she is
obviously familiar with this application. The last time they were here, she felt that she should
have made a motion or at least brought something up for discussion and she didn’t. Of course
now, it is back again and she is reminded of that. Managing the Town of Camden, being on
Board of Adjustment and being involved with the County, and many other things that she has
been involved in that involve Planning, the one way that we can get Kent Conservation in there
doing what they are supposed to do is to do an evaluation. If need be and the word comes down
from Kent Conservation that there needs to be a stormwater management pond or whatever done
there, then that comes from the people who know. In doing that, it doesn’t always make
everybody happy because they tend to be inundated and it takes longer. So, that is never the
desire of the developer or the property owners who are trying to do something different. But, if it
were to move forward, then Kent Conservation can come in and pretty much the people who will
say this can be done and manage the stormwater. Or if there are too many wetlands or whatever
the issue is, Kent Conservation is the place to find out. They are not going to find out while we
sit around and twiddle our thumbs because they have such a full plate like every other agency.
They are not going to go out and do it just because we would like to have information. She just
wants to throw that out to the members of the Commission as a food for thought.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Mr. Reaves has indicated that he wishes to speak. She is not
sure that he has that ability; if not, she can read what he placed in the chat. She is not hearing Mr.
Reaves. Through the chat, he indicates the following: “I believe that the engineer report is crucial
to the decision of the Planning Commission. I have a question about the non-receipt of the
engineer report.”
Mr. Reaves moved to approve the delay of SB-25-02 Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional
Properties, LLC (Ekaman Subdivision): Conceptual Subdivision Plan pending the review of the
engineer report based on their request for the waiver, seconded by Dr. Jones.
Mrs. Denney asked if the delay will be until the Report comes in so that we, with Report in hand,
can then make a better decision. Is it delayed or tabled? Responding to Mrs. Denney, Mr.
Witham stated that since Mr. Reaves made the motion, he will ask whether that is a friendly
amendment to his motion.
Mr. Adams stated that typically he has seen it where he has the ability to testify and represent the
application and not get blindsided by this gentleman bringing up something that has been
brought up about three times before about stormwater. You have not even heard the fact that
there is a Puncheon Run Study that has been done. And if you look in the notes that are here, the
Conservation District is okay with the approach of how we are handling the stormwater which
satisfies the requirements of the Puncheon Run Study. This community has done this every
single time and it is just to confuse the situation. His job as a civil engineer is to project the
client. That is part of his duty. Also, he is supposed to meet the intent of the Code and also
present a technically acceptable plan that is reviewed by those particular agencies that are experts
in those particular areas. We have done that. We meet the intent of the Code. We are on track to
6
10
Página 11
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2025
Item 1.
meet all of the technical requirements. That is not an issue. In the Report (Puncheon Run Study)
that I just read there is not a problem. So his client, who bought this property in 2022, had a
delay at least three times to this point dealing with the stormwater. There is nothing more that he
can do. This gentleman has spent his money, paying taxes here, wants to develop this property
and, it’s an infill situation that is just sitting there. He is going to make all of the improvements.
If they are willing to buy the property; great, take it off of his hands but that is not what we are
here to do.
Mr. Witham stated that he notes that the Report of the Kent Conservation District is a part of the
DAC notes and its advice would be to the applicant. It states that the approved stormwater plans
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. That indicates to him, that in
some point in time, we are going to have to hear this engineer report before we can get final
approval to your construction plans. As he has said before, this is the first step. He realizes that
there have been earlier denials of this project, but this is the first step as a Conceptual Plan. You
are going to have to come before this body again as you know because you have done this
before. He is pointing out that this is a new plan and it starts again. It is only a preliminary
application at this point in time.
Mrs. Denney stated that in the letter that is before us on the screen which comes from Kent
Conservation, it does say “they (Kent Conservation District) will be reviewing stormwater
management plan for the proposed Ekaman Subdivision. The conceptual layout of the plan
appears to align with the recommendation approach for managing the stormwater site for
development based on the findings of the Puncheon Run Flood Study. But it says before the
proposed plan is approved, Kent Conservation District will complete a detailed plan review and
verify that the proposed stormwater management plan meets the requirements of the Puncheon
Run Flood Study.” While she is certainly empathetic to the fact that this land owner probably
feels as though it is the never ending story, but getting just a letter from Kent Conservation is
indicative to the fact that they are working on trying to come up with a plan. The other thing that
she just wants to add and again, she should have said this when we addressed this before; when
Kent Conservation gets in there and makes a stormwater management plan, it is not just going to
be for these five lots. It may add great relief to everybody else in that development because there
will be room for the water that is now causing issues for the people in that development.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Mr. Reaves did clarify his motion as she thinks that was what
you were looking for at one point.
Mr. Reaves moved to table SB-25-02 Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties, LLC
(Ekaman Subdivision): Conceptual Subdivision Plan until the Report is furnished and the
community has had ample time to review and bring this action forward.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she believes that he is referring to the Report that is related to
the Woodbrook improvements.
Mr. Witham stated that we will turn to our City Solicitor for comments.

Item 1.
Mr. Griffith stated that this is a very technical point. A “motion to table” requires that it is to be
taken up at the very next meeting. You are considering something that may or may not be
available for the next meeting. The correct term or be a motion to “postpone” the application.
Mr. Reaves moved to postpone SB-25-02 Lands of Wyoming, LLC and Functional Properties,
LLC (Ekaman Subdivision): Conceptual Subdivision Plan until the engineersing report (Report
for the Woodbrook Development Improvement Study) is furnished and the community has had
ample time to review and bring this action forward, seconded by Dr. Jones and the motion was
carried 5-2 with Mr. Roach and Mrs. Welsh absent. Mr. Reaves voting yes. Mr. Lewis voting no;
in consideration of the fact that this is step one of a multi-step process. We are going to have to
be back here at some point anyway. We have somebody at least ready to talk about it. We have
multiple studies to still to wait. He says we can at least get started with it. Mrs. Denney voting
yes; to give this Commission any opportunity to see the reports and have a better idea of what
the engineers are thinking with regard to the stormwater management. Mrs. Maucher voting yes.
Mr. Baldwin voting yes; he thinks we should be able to see the reports from the engineer before
we can make a decision. Dr. Jones voting yes; she too believes that they should have every bit of
information that we possibly can have and if the residents can have as much information as
possible in order to make an informed decision. Mr. Witham voting no; he thinks this slows the
process down because this is a part of a multi-step process in gaining approval. Eventually, we
are going to have to have this Report in before we can finally approve the plan for construction.
He knows this has been an ongoing matter and it has been a thorn in their sides for quite some
time. It seems to him that any further delay will not be beneficial for the citizens of Dover.
S-25-01 Revised Dover Mobility Center Garage at 133 S. Governors Avenue – Public Hearing
and Review of a Revised Site Development Plan Application, Parcel Consolidation Plan, and
associated Revised Architectural Review Certification for construction of a four story, multi-
purpose 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 space, 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 subject site involves a series
of parcels in the block between S. Governors Avenue and S. Bradford Street north of Minor
Street Alley. The properties are zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) and subject to the H
(Historic District Zone). The owners of record are 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.

Item 1.
Downtown Dover Partnership (virtual)
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is S-25-01 Revised Dover Mobility Center Garage. The
main address location is 133 S Governors Avenue. It actually makes up a series of lots that span
the width of the block between S. Bradford Street and S. Governors Avenue. This is just to the
north of the Minor Street Alley which is about a half a block north of Loockerman Street. This
application was previously before the Planning Commission earlier this year; however, there
have been some revisions to the Plan itself. Specifically, architectural changes as to the design of
the building that removed one of the garage entrances, the one that was joining to S Bradford
Street. So, in doing so Staff, per your Zoning Ordinance, has recognized this as a substantial
change so the project has most recently been back to the Historic District Commission at their
August 21, 2025 because this building is proposed within the Historic District. So, part of the
action is associated with an Architectural Review Report. The property is zoned C-2 (Central
Commercial Zone) and is located in the H (Historic District Zone). The overall design has
predominantly stayed the same. There have been some changes to what they programmed for the
first floor of the building. There is a larger welcome and retail/office space that will take up some
of the first floor which is all associated with the redesign of the garage entrance to only be served
by the S. Governors Avenue entry.
Mr. Roach arrived (virtually) at 7:15PM.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the Development Advisory Report Committee made use of the
original report and then they did the update to it. The C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) has some
bulk standards. They are complying with those including stepping back of the front façade. The
Architectural Review Certification for this project does have one consideration and that is for
alternative bulk standards related to the side yard setback. We find that side yard setback along
the south and north property lines; so along the Minor Street Alley and then the northern
property line. In the case of the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) it would require a side yard
setback of 5 (five) feet; however, given the slightly parallelogram, the building when placed on
the property then the setback from property lines ranges from less than 1 (one) foot to just over 5
(five) feet depending where you are along those property lines. We made a recommendation that
previously the Planning Commission granted this relief for that as part of that Architectural
Review Certificate. With this project, they provided a parking summary. Really, it’s a garage and
it includes bicycle parking as well. The project will include an area for dumpsters that are built
into the building. They are working through that design. But the building architecture shown on
the image on the screen shows the S. Governors Avenue view of the building. It tends to have
brick elements on the lower floors and then transitions to a concrete system for what are the
upper floors of the parking garage. It’s meant to be a building that focuses as much on the
pedestrian and their street level experience for this building. The project also requires a Tree
Mitigation Plan as the building pretty much takes up the entire property. As previously approved,
the Tree Mitigation Plan will be them planting the required trees which there are 13 (thirteen)
that are required for this project, somewhere here in the Downtown area on land that either the
Downtown Partnership already owns or in working with the City as to finding places for those
required tree plantings. There is the Development Advisory Committee Report with a series of
Code reviews that the Planning Office did and the other regulatory agencies providing comments
as well. Ultimately, they will have to satisfy all of those agencies. Included in your packet is also
the Architectural Review Staff Report that provides the recommendation from the Historic

Item 1.
District Commission from their August 21, 2025 meeting. The Historic District Commission
recommended approval of the Revised Architectural Review Certificate for the project and that
Report goes on to detail the elements of their project proposal and how the project has changed
with its most recent design change regarding the entry to a garage itself. So, those are the kind of
the key Report items for this application. Tonight, you are considering a Site Development Plan,
as part of that the revisions and the Revised Architectural Review Certification including the
alternative side yard setbacks, confirming again, the Tree Mitigation Plan, and the consideration
and recognition of their Parking Strategy Statement as it was revised.
Mr. Riemann stated that they have members of their project team here if there are specific
questions and we need to bring somebody up to answer those questions. They are here to present
a revision to the Dover Mobility Garage that this body previously approved with many of the
elements that Mrs. Melson-Williams has outlined. The revision, while here as considered a major
revision in terms of requirements to come back before the body, really is pretty minor. This
comes from really interest and outreach that this project has done since they were before this
body. Obviously, the word is out about the project and what is happening in Downtown Dover
which is very positive with respect to this project and the project that we are going to talk about
after this. As a result of that interest outreach and some of the visibility that this project has had,
we’ve had an opportunity to bring a tenant immediately into this building. The revision stems
from accomplishing that and modifying the interior of the building. Most of the modifications
are related to the interior portions of the building. The building itself still sits in the general
location it did the last time you approved it. All of the setbacks that Mrs. Melson-Williams was
referring to are the same as what they were last time that we were here before you. What we did
was add some additional retail/office space that we are in negotiations with a tenant for that
space right now and that is really the reason for the revisions to these plans. It is very positive
news and he thinks what they all hoped for this interest to bring some employment to
Downtown. They added about 13,000 SF of retail/office space on the ground floor. We have also
modified the access. The blue area on the screen is representing the office space. A lot of the
elements are still there with the bike rental and bike shop and all of those things that we talked
about last time that everyone recalls. The access to Bradford Street has been eliminated with this
change so we do have access solely on Governors Avenue. We have met with DelDOT and
worked through that with them. No concerns there; they have commented the same in the Report
that you have in front of you. We did have to go back to the Historic District Commission with
this change to look at the exterior of the building. They did recommend a conditional approval.
We did implement all of their recommendations regarding the exterior. With the image on the
screen, the bottom elevation is looking south towards the garage and the top elevation is looking
north. Its a lot of the similar elements that you would have seen before. No major changes from
that standpoint but we did go back to the Historic District Commission and present the project to
them. We have reviewed the Staff Report which is always very thorough. We have no concerns
with the recommendations that are in there; everything is to be expected. Those are really the
majority of the changes for this project and he is happy to answer any questions. Our team is
here and we are looking forward to moving onto the next steps.
The next image on the screen shows looking from S Bradford Street. So, you can see where the
access to Bradford is removed and that provides that connection of that retail office space to
Bradford Street.

Item 1.
Mrs. Maucher asked why they removed the Bradford Street exit/entrance. Responding to Mrs.
Maucher, Mr. Riemann stated that with the retail space there now, connecting all of that retail
space there really, that flow no longer worked. So, we felt it was necessary.
Mrs. Maucher stated that since they are kind of tied together; this project and the next project,
will spaces be permitted in this parking garage for residents and businesses. Responding to Mrs.
Maucher, Mr. Riemann stated that it is expected that the residents would use parking spaces in
this garage. As far as arrangements of how that will work, he would ask someone else to
comment on that if there are more specifics. But yes, we are expecting that residents will use the
parking garage.
Mr. Witham asked for the reason for the reduction in 400 spaces to 319 spaces. Responding to
Mr. Witham, Mr. Riemann stated that it is a function of adding the ground floor (areas). We lost
some parking spaces on that floor.
Mr. Witham stated that he has a question about the windows. There was some discussion from
the Historic District Commission about the windows. Are the windows designed to stand up to
the sun? He is concerned because we experienced some deterioration in the windows at the new
Kent County Court House. There is a fog that is now inside the windows. He wants to know if
any of those issues are taken into consideration for this project. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr.
Cane stated that their intended purpose is to specify the most energy efficient and code specific
windows for this project; so yes, they will take that into account. He is not sure on the specifics
of those windows specifically, but they are intending to provide the best windows that they can.
In terms of one of the Staff comments, these are not going to be reflective. These were just a
regular transparent glass window for these office spaces.
Mr. Witham asked if they could also explain the lighting on the site, particularly from a safety
standpoint and for the benefit of your customers. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Cane stated
that obviously all of the lighting they are designing will be aligned with the standards of the
Historic District. We want to make sure that they align aesthetically with the surroundings and
also provide the safety and lighting that is required for a building such as this.
Mr. Witham opened the public hearing.
Mr. Zach Prebula – Kent Economic Partnership 555 Bay Road Dover DE 19901
Mr. Prebula stated that they are in support of this project. That faster that we get this project in
motion, the faster we will be able to attract businesses and have more people walking the
Downtown Area and improve the area.
Ms. Chelle Paul – Dover, DE resident
Ms. Paul stated that she had a few quick questions. The actual adjustments that were made was
that those adjustments that rectify the question of the land issue? If that information was never
provided, do you have that information on file with regard to the question about the issue with
the ownership of the land? Responding to Ms. Paul, Mrs. Melson-Williams asked if she was
asking about the ownership of the property.
Ms. Paul stated that the question is did the changes that were made, did that resolve the issue
11
15

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2025
Item 1.
with regards to the ownership of the property. There were questions about if the City of Dover
actually owned that property and if they were actually able to provide the information with
regards to ownership of the property. Responding to Ms. Paul, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that
this subject site is made up of six different parcels and then an additional parcel. There are a
series of them that are currently owned by the City of Dover but by resolution action by City
Council, will be transitioning to the Downtown Dover Partnership. She is not sure if the project
team has some additional information on that.
Ms. Paul stated that she thinks the question with the parcel was, was the ownership actually sent
over? Was the legal process followed the proper way in order to take over ownership?
Responding to Ms. Paul, Mr. Riemann stated that he thinks this is all stemming back to the alley
discussions that we had. That issue has been put to bed. It has been through Council. It has been
through the right processes. Yes, all legal channels have been followed. In our opinion, this issue
is resolved; and this is completely unrelated to that.
Ms. Paul stated that you stated that it was resolved, but she will deal with that on a different day.
As far as the changes and things of that nature, that’s fine. We just wanted to make sure the
matter of the property was worked out. Responding to Ms. Paul, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated
that she will note for the record that there is Council Resolution #2024-08 that was a Resolution
authorizing the donation of a series of City owned properties to the Downtown Dover
Partnership. That was acted upon by City Council on September 23, 2024. It was almost a year
ago that it moved through a Council review process. There are a series of what are the existing
parking lots at this project site that were in City ownership at the time of the beginning of this
project.
Mr. Witham seeing no one wishing to speak and no written correspondence, closed the public
hearing.
Mrs. Maucher moved to approve S-25-01 Revised Dover Mobility Center Garage at 133 S.
Governors Avenue revisions inclusive of the Revised Architectural Review Certification with the
Alternative Side Yard Setbacks, the Tree Mitigation Plan and the recognition of the Revised
Parking Strategy Statement, seconded by Mrs. Denney.
Mrs. Melson-Williams asked if Mrs. Maucher is also including by reference the DAC Report and
its recommendations. Responding to Mrs. Melson-Williams, Mrs. Maucher stated yes, that
would be the basis of her motion.

S-25-11 The Governor: Mixed Use Building at 120 S Governors Avenue – Public Hearing and
Review of a Site Development Plan Application, Parcel Consolidation Plan and Architectural
Review Certification for the construction of a four story, 169,080 SF Mixed Use Building
including a grocery, retail and restaurant spaces, a child day care, 120 apartment units, and a
roof-top courtyard with site improvements of a parking lot, a courtyard, and landscaping. The
main parcel contains 1.70 +/- acres. The property is zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) and
subject to H (Historic District Zone). The property is located on the west side of South
Governors Avenue and halfway between Reed Street and West Loockerman Street. The owners
of record are Downtown Dover Development Corporation c/o Downtown Dover Partnership and
The City of Dover. Property Addresses: 120 S. Governors Avenue, 105 S. New Street, 111 S.

Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is likewise a Site Development Plan. This is its first
appearance here with the Planning Commission. It is located on the west side of S. Governors
Avenue and in this case, extends across to New Street. The main parcel is 120 S. Governors
Avenue, known to most as the Acme Site; the Acme grocery store building is no longer there.
But this project also encompasses three related properties which are three properties that have
frontage on S. New Street and those include 105, 111 and 115 S. New Street. Those are currently
vacant lots. The City is the owner of two of those lots and has signed the application for
submission here for this Site Development Plan Review. The project is zoned C-2 (Central
Commercial Zone) and falls in the H (Historic District Zone). It is a building of 4 (four) floors
and has a number of uses that are proposed with the first floor encompassing things such as retail
space, child day care center, and other retail opportunities on that first floor. Then moving to
upper floors, we do see a rooftop courtyard on the second floor and then the remaining portions
of that floor and the upper floors are residential apartment units from a mix of one to three
bedroom units as currently proposed for a total of 120 residential dwelling units. The property as
noted again is in the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone). There are some provisions and design
standards in the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) and they have complied with those. The idea for
a child day care facility is technically considered a Conditional Use in this zone and that is when
a child day care center is serving more than 13 (thirteen) children in the facility. You will be
considering that as part of the application this evening. There are parking requirements and
outdoor play space requirements associated with the day care facility. With the project being
located within the H (Historic District Zone), it is subject to the Architectural Review
Certification process. For this property, it visited the Historic District Commission at their
meeting on July 17, 2025. There is the Architectural Review Staff Report which also includes the
13
17
Página 18
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2025
Item 1.
recommendation from the Historic District Commission in regards to the project. The Historic
District Commission did recommend approval of the Architectural Review Certificate subject to
the comments and information in that Review Report. We will talk about the architecture in a
moment. The project, since it is a Site Plan, has a number of site elements. The building, while it
has a main front on S Governors Avenue, for the New Street side of the building, it being U-
shaped, has an outer court area where you can also access the building. There is a small surface
parking lot that is accessed off of S. New Street which also gives access to a loading area at the
rear of the proposed grocer location; so, that is at the bottom of the image on the screen. There is
a series of development pieces for those three parcels to the north. That is where you would find
the concept for a playground space, a dog run, and some connecting walking systems there. Both
frontages will have the requirements for sidewalks. The applicant has also presented information
about the trash strategy for this building which is a little unique in having to deal with the
multiple users. There is one site related waiver request and that is focused on the opaque barrier
requirements. This is subject to being implemented on part of the northern property line of the
main part of the building. The next slide shows the Landscape Plan. An opaque barrier occurs
when there is a non-residential use adjacent to a residential use. There is a residential use to their
north on S Governors Avenue. They are going to implement the landscape screening that’s
required but is seeking relief to eliminate the fence component in that area finding that the
landscaping should be sufficient. That is a hedge planting interspersed with trees. There is a
fairly short distance between that property line and that north side of the building where you find
a sidewalk to access some of the facilities off of that side as well.
As noted with this being for a residential project, they are required to have an Active Recreation
Area Plan. That Active Recreation Area Plan was heard by the Parks, Recreation and
Community Enhancement Committee last week. That Committee recommended approval of
their Active Recreation Plan, subject to the Recreation Area Report. Because of this location of
the project in the Downtown, it is required to have 75 feet of active recreation per dwelling unit.
That means they need a minimum of 9,000 SF. They are providing well above that in a series of
amenities, including that courtyard as a wellness area. There is some seating and open space
opportunities there for probably fitness activities. There is the park area that she just mentioned
that includes the playground, the dog run, and the connection walkway. Inside the building, we
continue to find amenities in that there is a fitness center and other community spaces on the first
floor of that building and then that rooftop courtyard that wraps part of the second floor at the
site. Additionally, there is bicycle parking and they actually are including interior bicycle
parking opportunities so we have noted that as part of the recreation amenities for the project. By
reference, she will refer you to the Recreation Plan Review Report.
This project is required to do tree planting. They do as part of this, have a proposal to plant some
of the trees onsite; however, they are seeking a request for a Tree Mitigation Plan to allow some
of those required tree plantings to be planted as street trees along the frontage of the subject
property rather than actually onsite. So, their tree planting is proposed to be a mix of onsite and
then also the adjacent street frontages. With this, they have also identified their Parking Strategy
Statement. That is probably of interest to the Commission members as parking is limited here but
parking in the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) does not have a minimum requirement based on
the zone or the use and parking can be considered as a variety of alternatives. In this case, they
are focusing on the nearby parking garage, the ability to utilize various modes of transportation
14

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2025
Item 1.
and the bicycle parking that they are providing as an increased measure on this project site. The
next image shows the view from S. Governors Avenue. You can see that it is a four story
building, again, and a mix of materials. We see use of brick masonry, again focusing on the
pedestrian level and the first floor and then becoming more animated with the push and pull of
that front façade including some balcony areas for some of the units on this face of the building
reflecting its mixed uses as it goes forward.
Mr. Riemann asked if there were any questions because that was pretty thorough. It is always
tough to follow Mrs. Melson-Williams and not feel repetitive with all of the information so he is
going to try to hit some of the highlights. Like before, we have members from our entire project
team either present here or online to answer any specific technical questions that there may be.
As Mrs. Melson-Williams stated, we are dealing with a couple of acres here in Downtown
Dover. It is zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone). This property has been vacant for a couple of
years now at this point and he will say that the onset is somebody who has worked in Downtown
Dover for about 25 years, it’s just exciting to be here and talk about this application and see the
things that are happening in Downtown Dover. He has got to give the Downtown Dover
Partnership a lot of credit for that and the City as well for their leadership and for looking for
ways to transform our Downtown and make it more vibrant. These are the exact kind of projects
that do that. These are the types of projects that a lot of people talk about doing but we don’t see
them happen very often and tonight we are going to see that happen hopefully here in Dover. It is
just very exciting for him personally and professionally.
As Mrs. Melson-Williams stated, the project is a four story mixed use project totaling about
140,000 SF. There is a mix of about 120 apartments, a 16,800 SF grocery store, a 5,500 SF day
care, a 1,000 SF coffee shop, and about 2,400 SF of retail on this property. The main façade of
the building fronts on Governors Avenue. That creates the presence on the street of Governors
Avenue. Obviously, more of a commercial corridor where you will start to enter and proceed
towards Loockerman Street. Then we have the rear of the site which accesses off of New Street.
You can see the access lanes in and out there along with some additional on-site parking. We
have about 13 parking spots located on-site and those will be for the everyday consumers
utilizing the services that are on this site. The project does consist of a lot of active recreation as
Mrs. Melson-Williams has indicated. He is not going to go through those again, but he wants to
point out that from the Code standpoint, the active recreation requirement is about 9,000 SF.
When you tally all of those uses up, we are at about 30,000 SF so nearly triple the requirement of
active recreation on this site. We have met with DelDOT about this project and there are no
concerns and that is reflected in the DAC Report that you have. We have also worked through
some of the fire lane coverage. This project does meet all of the fire lane coverage throughout the
project and that is indicated in the Report. This ends up also being a reduction of impervious
coverage on the site as the site is almost totally impervious now. We have worked with the Kent
Conservation District on how to address stormwater there and this will actually reduce
stormwater because of the reduction in impervious by going from essentially almost an all
impervious site to adding lots of grass and park space. We do have loading area there. It is a little
tough to see on the slide but may be easier to see in your packets on the south side of the project
and then we do have some trash location on the north side of the site accessing directly off the
drive aisle along with some interior trash storage. Mrs. Melson-Williams did mention the opaque
barrier so he just wants to talk about that a little bit. With the waiver on the north side of the
15
19
Página 20
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2025
Item 1.
property, we are going to landscape that but we wanted to avoid an opaque barrier or a wall there
for a couple of reasons. One being that there are some existing trees that sit just on the other side
of the property line on our neighbor’s property. So if we were going to install a wall or barrier
there, it could impact those trees and we don’t want to do that. So, in lieu of a wall or fence, we
are thinking landscaping might be the more appropriate use for those reasons. In addition, the
neighbor’s property drains onto us so if we were to put some kind of wall or fence there, it could
potentially block drainage and we don’t want to do that. We are going to make sure that we
pickup that drainage and bring it into our drainage system and not impede the drainage that is
happening today. So for those reasons, that is why we submitted the request for the opaque
barrier but we will still have the landscaping. So visually, we are going to accomplish the intent
and objective of the Code. For tree mitigation, this is similar to the Mobility Garage where we
are going to do tree mitigation along the street in lieu of on-site. The site is primarily taken up by
the building itself in this case. We have gone through the Staff recommendations and we have no
concerns. There was commentary about a crosswalk. As he has mentioned in the previous
application, we would have mainly residents parking in the garage and then crossing Governors
Avenue to come into the site. There was a recommendation from MPO talking about HAWK
signals. He is not sure a HAWK signal makes the most sense, but we do think that a specific
crosswalk with some sort of flashing lights. Ultimately, it is DelDOT’s decision. They are going
to decide exactly how to do that as they have done this before a few times. You can picture the
Bayhealth crosswalk that exists with flashing lights or if you have ever been on Main Street in
Newark. They have a specific crosswalk with certain design elements that really makes it safe for
people to cross in those instances. We will work with DelDOT to achieve that as we go through
the detailed entrance plan process. We have no issues with that recommendation as its written
and we plan to work to implement that. This project is going to provide housing that is much
needed; not just in Dover, but throughout the State and throughout the Country. We have seen a
massive housing shortage nationally and everybody has felt the ramifications of that.
Affordability is the major issue for everyone, not just a select subset of our population at this
point. This project is going to help deliver that to Dover. As was mentioned, we have gone
through the Historic District. They have recommended a conditional approval. He does have
with him Mr. Michael Cane again, from Core States and just walk through a little bit of the
architectural elevations with you.
Mr. Cane stated that he would also like to make a comment about how excited they are that this
project has reached its milestone. He remembers co-authoring the Master Plan a few years back
and this is really one of the first major steps of implementing that plan. Mimicking the Master
Plan and the Mobility Center across the street, we really put an emphasis on the material palate
to make sure that what we design or what we propose is the best design solution for Downtown
Dover and something that fits well with its neighbors and helps continue the story of this City.
We are also making sure that we achieve all setback standards. According to the new C-2
(Central Commercial Zone), with this being a four story structure it doesn’t necessarily need a
setback but we understand with the architecture and this building being so large, we have a
setback to help mitigate the larger bulk and continue the neighborhood feel of this section of
Governors Avenue. What you see at the top of the screen is the New Street elevation and what
you see below is the Governors Avenue elevation. Designing this structure, we do recognize that
we have two front doors. We wanted to make sure that we put the best step forward and be the
best neighbor for both New Street and Governors Avenue so really putting as much detail and
16

attention to both elevations were paramount to us. What you can see that is similar to the
Mobility Center is the public pedestrian experience is in a continuation of the Dover brick of
Downtown. That’s really the emphasis of wanting to drive down the height of the building to fit
with its neighboring structures and then above, we translate to a more contemporary palette but
still reminiscent of the historic palette itself. It is complimenting rather than replication. He
would like to also point out that on Governors Avenue, we really have two forces that we are
addressing both to the south with its more commercial district and larger scale buildings and then
on the north, a residential situation. So what we wanted to do visually is step down the building
to not be too jarring to the residents to the north. Then with the commercial down below, we
wanted to match their scale and provide something that really negotiates between the two but
also providing an iconic look to this building to add to the enhanced streetscape that we are
proposing. The next slide shows the south elevation. When you are traveling north, this is the
elevation you will see and then below, the elevation is traveling south down Governors Avenue
toward Loockerman Street. The largest design decisions based off of the Historic District
Commission were that we continued the brick on this elevation to the right up top to really
continue that language visually. Then its the same below having a continuation around the
corner. This is a similar strategy we also had recommended for the Mobility Center and we are
continuing that for The Governor across the street. The next slide shows the inter courtyard
where you still see brick but the really dark up top is red brick; the line work just does not appear
really well when projected. The same architectural gestures, recognizing our neighbors on New
Street and it really begins to become still brick on the ground floor but that palate of more
contemporary materials fold into these courtyard situations. What we see below are the two
courtyard elevations both the north and south twinned together just to give you a full breath of
the grocery store entrance as well as the elevation at the lower left of courtyard space going into
the amenity space of the ground floor for the residents. The next slide shows the elevation
rendering of S Governors Avenue showing it in a more photo real manor of the elevation itself.
The next slide is a perspective looking southwest on Governors Avenue. In the forefront, you see
one of the smaller retail opportunities. This is our proposed café activating the northern section
of our parcel and then feeding as you go left, down to the amenity spaces of the building itself
and then terminating at the lower left; the small retail opportunities to continue the energy
towards Loockerman Street. The next slide shows what they are proposing for S New Street.
Being the best neighbor that we can, they also want to make sure that this is a comfortable
experience for the New Street corridor by really providing a lot of activity and also a safe
experience traveling to the park space, which would be to the left of this image and then travel to
the right of this image back down to Loockerman. You see this is the entrance to the grocery
store as well as that courtyard space that was described earlier. On the left is also the day care
facility as outlined on the Site Plan. Lastly, this is another New Street image looking north just
showing that entry to the small parking lot itself and another vista of how this “U” shape presents
itself.
Ms. Whetstone thanked the Commission for hearing their vision for this project tonight. We are
thrilled to continue the conversation about how to infuse this kind of vision into your Downtown
to further strengthen your existing fabric. As we started to think about this project, we wondered
who is coming here? Who are the people? It’s a building. It’s going to have all of these impacts
and it’s going to look like this, but what does it mean to attract the people that Dover, then also
wants to be here. She thinks what has been really exciting is that as we have talked to area
17

Item 1.
stakeholders like DSU, Bayhealth and the Air Force Base. Everyone is starting to see how their
recent graduates, their new staff, all of these different emerging professionals start to come up
with this idea of what they need for housing. And it’s an amenity rich, wellness focus space to
have a community. It is mixed income because when you are starting off, you might not have the
most or you do have the income for the market amenities, and you want to be close to a
community that’s vibrant. Visioning for this space is the ability to both connect as Mr. Cane said
to that New Street side where you are in the residential. You’re really part of that walkable street
but also you are connected to the Governors Avenue part of that larger zoning vision that you
guys have where really maintaining that tall commercial corridor so that you really feel that you
are in a dense space. They are really hoping that this becomes a strong kind neighbor to the area
and also inspires future investment to start to attract other people to really make these kinds of
spaces for people to land and then hopefully stay.
Dr. Jones stated that there was a day care center there prior to the demolition. Can you tell me
what lead you to want another day care center there? Responding to Dr. Jones, Ms. Meagan
Whetstone stated that what lead us to envision a day care center in the project was honestly
because of all of the community feedback that we received. In those visioning sessions, we heard
from a lot of people that a new child care facility would be really welcomed in this area
especially with the types of professionals or young families perhaps that are going to come to
this project. This is a small yet large center, she thinks the maximum number of kids that can be
serviced by a Delaware childcare facility is 50. So, it is kind of small sized and we are trying to
provide a really high quality experience by using those three additional parcels for a playground
where they get to be with nature and have a more well-rounded educational experience.
Dr. Jones asked if there will be available street parking both on Governors Avenue and New
Street that will serve this facility. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Reimann stated right now, there
is parking onsite, there is parking in the garage, there is parking on Governors Avenue, and there
is parking allowed on New Street although it’s not striped for it on portions of it.
Dr. Jones stated that she is very familiar with those areas, she was just sort of wondering. As a
scenario, you have a childcare center that you are hoping will attract about 50 children and their
parents. Has there been any consideration to providing designated parking spots for parents
because there is a concern; they run in and they run out. You have these grocery stores and
whatever businesses you have. She is wondering what kind of considerations there have been.
Responding to Dr. Jones, Ms. Whetstone stated that there are thirteen (13) spots. She knows that
it doesn’t sound like a lot but because there could be people coming in and wanting to be able to
stop. We wanted to make sure that those spots were allocated more for someone popping in and
then continuing to move. The employees of all of the different functions of the building are
envisioned to park at the parking garage across the street. But what we are envisioning is that the
parents and everybody would drop off in that kind of back area on New Street.
Dr. Jones stated that is sort of what she would think as well but in her reading, there are so many
parking spaces that have to be available for the employees. You say that that’s going to work
well with them parking in the garage? Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Riemann stated that the
garage is a major factor in the revitalization of this whole area. When we look at the total parking
counts, there is going to be about 384 net parking spaces essentially. When we look at what will
18
22
Página 23
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2025
Item 1.
be used for the residential, the day care, some of the retail, the employees of the grocery store,
etc., there is still going to be about 177 parking spaces left for the public. That is not counting
on-street parking in the area.
Dr. Jones stated that she is a little uncomfortable with the thought that the parents are going to
have to cross the street when they pick up their kids. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Riemann
stated that he thinks the drop off is going to happen on-site in the back. There is a dual lane drive
that goes around the back with those thirteen (13) spots so the drop off should happen there, not
in the garage.
Mr. Witham asked, exactly where are the fire lanes going? Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr.
Riemann stated that Governors Avenue can be used as a fire lane. In addition to that, the Site
Plan on the screen shows that horseshoe lane in the back; that provides a fire lane and then we
have a fire lane that comes up the middle. Also, in the courtyard we are designing a hardscape
that comes up. It’s going to be designed to look like hardscape but it’s going to be designed to
allow a fire truck to come up in that courtyard area if needed to provide additional access.
Mr. Witham further asked if these areas were going to be marked as such. Responding to Mr.
Witham, Mr. Riemann stated yes, in accordance with the regulations.
Mrs. Denney stated that obviously the apartments will have sprinkler systems. Responding to
Mrs. Denney, Mr. Riemann stated that is correct.
Mr. Witham opened the public hearing
Ms. Karen Speakman – NeighborGood Partners 223 West Division Street Dover, DE 19901
Ms. Speakman stated that they are very much in favor of this proposal for this development. This
will provide 70 units of affordable housing which is desperately needed in our City for both
affordable low and moderate income families and workforce housing as well. We also recognize
that by providing a grocer, a day care and a coffee shop it is in accordance with also their
“Restoring Central Dover Plan” and which is calling for more economic development in the
Downtown Area. So we are very pleased to see that as well. We actually built the four houses
that are across the street on New Street that are now new homeowners. They are very attractive
houses. We are very pleased with the approach that they are making off S. New Street as well.
Just to share, between Habitat and ourselves, we have built over 70 houses Downtown with all
homeowners. We love to see more rentals; we need more rental housing in Dover and we need it
more Downtown too. We really applaud this application.
Mr. Zach Prebula – Kent Economic Partnership 555 Bay Road Dover DE 19901
Mr. Prebula stated that they are in support of this project. This project not only revitalizes a
vacant area, but also provides much needed resources that Dover and Kent County need such as
the housing, child care, and along with creating job opportunities.
Mr. Witham closed the public hearing.
Mr. Lewis stated that whatever pull you have with DelDOT, he would highly recommend having

some sort of well-marked crosswalk between the garage and the apartment complex. He has
worked his share of late night shifts. If you are attracting people from the Base and Bayhealth to
reside there, not everyone is going to be coming home at 5PM. He can attest that you get a little
blurry-eyed when you are driving home at midnight or 1PM and with parking and everything. If
there is some aspect or some way to have some sort of warning section there in the crosswalk
between the garage and the apartment complex.
Mr. Witham stated that he echoes with his follow Commissioner; that section of Dover is very
busy right now and it’s going to get busier with this development. So, any safety concerns need
to be addressed and he is sure you will do that.
Mrs. Maucher asked if they need to also include the Conditional Use approval for the day care.
Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that they might want to specifically
note that they recognize that the child day care facility is a Conditional Use with the motion.
Mr. Witham stated that it was already stated that they have to approve the Architectural Review
Certification as well.
Dr. Jones moved to approve S-25-11 The Governor: Mixed Use Building at 120 S Governors
Avenue with the following waiver requests for the elimination of the fence component, Tree
Mitigation Plan for off-site tree plantings and with due consideration for the Architectural
Review Certification, Parking Strategies Statement, Active Recreation Area Plan as well as the
Conditional Use for the day care center, seconded by Mrs. Denney.
Mrs. Melson-Williams asked if you are also referring to the associated Development Advisory
Committee Report and the recommendation reports in making your motion. Responding to Mrs.
Melson-Williams, Dr. Jones stated yes.

Update on Appointments to Architectural Review Oversight Subcommittee
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she has not yet confirmed the availability of the two
individuals that you had suggested for being appointed as the design professionals on the
Architectural Review Oversight Committee. She will endeavor to find out their responses prior
to your next meeting. Just a reminder that as part of your Annual Meeting, that is a
Subcommittee of the Planning Commission that is described in the Zoning Ordinance. You did
at your last meeting place Ms. Kathleen Welsh and Mr. Kenneth Roach as the two Planning
Commission members on that Subcommittee and then the Mayor whose designee serves.
Additionally, there are two design professionals that need to be appointed to that Committee.
You have put forth the names of Dr. R.J. Chandler and Ms. Sarah Keiffer; both who have served
in the past. Planning Staff will be working to confirm their availability for that and report back to
the Commission.
Mr. Witham stated that he assumes we can defer that until the next meeting. Responding to Mr.
Witham, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated yes, in your motion previously was that Staff was to reach
out to those individuals to seek their availability. Since we have not heard at the moment, she has
nothing to report.
PUBLIC COMMENTS OPPORTUNITY
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Planning Staff will be including this on all of your meetings
going forward. It gives a Public Comment Opportunity to provide comments to the Planning
Commission. This would be outside of any particular application that is presented before you. If
you read the FOIA Provisions at State level, all open meetings should have an opportunity for
public comment.
Dr. Jones stated that she would like to take this opportunity; she is speaking for herself but
hopefully on behalf of the Commission, to thank Mrs. Melson-Williams for really doing a
fantastic job. She appreciates that Mrs. Melson-Williams is always there to answer the questions.
She is on top of everything and we do appreciate that in terms of guiding us through this process.
She wants to say thank you so very much.

Dear Dawn:
On behalf of our client, SLS Equity Partners, we are hereby submitting a request for a one-
year extension of the Site Plan Approval for the above-referenced project. Please make the
request to the Planning Commission at its next available meeting. With the project only
receiving approval in September, the owners will need additional time to find a contractor
and end users. As a result, they will not be able to pull permits by the end of November. For
that reason, we request a one (1) year extension on Planning Commission Approval.
Please let me know if you require any additional information.

RE: BHD Operations Facilities – Extension Request
Dear Dawn,
On behalf of Trash Gurls, LLC, owner of parcel 4-05-06800-02-1100-00001, we respectfully request a six-
month extension of the preliminary site plan approval for the BHD Operations Facility. The site plan
received preliminary site plan approval at the November 20th, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting.
Following preliminary approval, the project proceeded through the engineering phase and has since
received approvals from Kent Conservation District, the City of Dover Public Works and Fire Department,
Delaware Division of Heath and Social Services, and the Army Corp of Engineers. A check print for the Final
Site Plan was submitted to the City of Dover on December 28th, 2024, and again on March 28th, 2025.
On June 11th, 2025, our office received correspondence from the City of Dover indicating that the project
was ready for Final Site Plan approval. Signed and sealed final site plans were submitted to the City of
Dover on June 23rd, 2025. As of the date of this letter, we have not received any further site plan comments
or formal site plan approval from the City.
On August 6th, 2025, the building plans were submitted for review. On August 25th, 2025, the building
impact calculation fee was completed.
Given the substantial progress made and the fact that all outside agency approvals have been obtained –
with only final sign-off from the City pending – we respectfully request a six-month extension of the
preliminary site plan approval to allow time for the City to complete its final review process.
To our knowledge, there have been no significant changes in the surrounding neighborhood including
zoning maps, comprehensive plans, or other items that would impact the validity of the approved site plan.
We appreciate your time and consideration of this request and look forward to completing the final steps of
the final approval process. Please do not hesitate to contact us if additional information is required.

The First Reading was completed by the City Council on September 22, 2025 referring the
Application to the Planning Commission for Public Hearing, Review, and Recommendation.
Existing Property:
The property currently includes a two-story brick building originally built as a residence and
later converted to offices upon purchase by Bayhealth. It is at the corner of South State Street
and South Street. This Application only seeks rezoning of the property from RG-O to IO; the
SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) zoning designation will remain. The applicant
is seeking rezoning to allow for future development of the property as associated with the
Bayhealth Medical Center – Kent Campus. Any redevelopment of the site will be subject to a
separate application submission for plans or permits.
Surrounding Land Uses
The surrounding parcels are zoned a mix of institutional and residential: IO (Institutional and
Office Zone), and R-8 (One Family Residence Zone). The City’s Historic District Zone involves
properties fronting on South State Street north of South Street and continuing north towards The
Green and beyond. The property to the north across South Street is the location of the large
surface parking lot for the Hospital and another multi-story professional office building zoned
IO. To the northeast there are several single family detached residences facing South State Street
and then more residential buildings along Elm Terrance. Surrounding the subject site on the west
and south is the main parcel of the Bayhealth Medical Center hospital zoned IO. Also zoned IO
across South State Street is another parking lot, day surgery building, and child day care
associated with the Hospital along Scull Terrace and the Holy Cross Church and School
property.
II. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE REVIEW
In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1) recommends that this
property be used for Institutional Land Uses. The discussion of this Land Use category and the
associated goals and policies are listed in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan excerpts presented
below (pages 12-14 and 12-15); see excerpt below:
GOVERNMENT AND INSTITUTIONAL LAND USES
As the capital city and County seat of government, Dover has an above average amount of land
area dedicated to government use. The City of Dover has its facilities here as well (See Chapter
8 for more detailed discussion). The Delaware Legislature and all major departments of State
Government except the Department of Agriculture are headquartered within the City limits.
Dover is also home to the offices of the Kent County Levy Court and to numerous Federal
agency offices.
All branches of the judiciary are represented in central Dover including the State Supreme
Court, Delaware Court of Chancery, Kent County Superior Court, Delaware Family Court, and
the Justice of the Peace Court.
As a central City, Dover is also the location of a growing medical services community with
Bayhealth Medical Center (Kent General Hospital) at its center and with a growing array of
services and facilities across a wide spectrum of health care specialties.

DAC Report of October 8, 2025
Page 3 of 7
The City has experienced a prolonged period of growth and development, and numerous other
institutions including colleges and public schools within the community have expanded and
many others have plans for future expansion. Several charter and private schools are also
located within the City.
Assumptions: Government and Institutional Land Uses
1. As the State Capital and County Seat, Dover projects a prominent public image as a center
of government.
2. Dover will continue to be the home of major institutions including hospitals and medical
centers, places of learning, and agencies providing services to its citizens.
3. Employment in the government, education, and medical sectors will continue to play an
important role in Dover’s economic vitality.
Goal: Government and Institutional Land Uses
Maintain and improve the City’s position as a center of government, education, and medicine
through support of existing institutions and encouraging well-designed campuses that are
integrated into the community and have room to expand.
Policies: Government and Institutional Land Use
1. Preserve and promote the long-term vitality of major institutions and governmental entities
through appropriate zoning, providing protection from incompatible uses, and providing ample
land for future expansion.
2. Promote alternative modes of access to government facilities and institutions by requiring
pedestrian and bicycle amenities, and bus shelters. Ensure that these areas are visually
appealing with appropriate landscaping.
3. In cooperation with the State of Delaware continue planning for the “Capital Complex”
that would establish locations for State office expansion and public improvements in central
Dover.
4. Participate in the “master planning” process for the development of strategies and vision
plans for institutional facilities and campuses. Also encourage approval by the Planning
Commission of Master Plans for multi-phased construction projects as outlined in the Zoning
Ordinance.
5. Recognize the importance of higher education facilities, employees and students to the
economy of Dover and their value as a college community,
Recommendations: Major Institutional and Governmental
The Land Development Plan recommendations for major institutional and governmental uses
are presented in the following paragraphs:

Hospital Complex
Bayhealth Medical Center (Kent General Hospital) is a major Institutional land use within the
central area of Dover. The Land Development Plan designates the hospital proper and
associated hospital properties including the South Street parking lot, Central Facilities
Building, day surgery center, the Scull Mansion and hospital day care center for Institutional
use.
The Land Development Plan also recommends inclusion of the Holy Cross Church and School
complex in the Institutional use designation in recognition of the existing use of the premises
and its adjacency to the hospital properties referenced above.
The Rezoning Request to IO (Institutional and Office Zone) is consistent with the Land Use
Classification of Institutional. Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix (from the 2019
Comprehensive Plan) specifies that the following zones are compatible with this Land Use
classification. See the excerpt from Table 12-1 given below.

commission in accordance with the procedures and subject to the general conditions set forth in article
10, section 1:
(a) Firearm ranges, prisons, and correctional facilities.
(b) Public incinerators.
(c) Hotels and restaurants.
10.3 Accessory uses. The following uses shall be permitted accessory to other permitted uses on a lot.
(a) Clinics, cafeterias, and recreational facilities.
(b) Motor vehicle storage and repair facilities accessory to a public or institutional use.
(c) Restaurants that are on a campus and intended to support users of the campus.
10.4 Uses prohibited. The following uses are prohibited:
(a) Landfills, dumps.
10.5 Enclosed buildings. All permitted uses and all storage accessory thereto, other than offstreet parking,

10.6 Performance standards. All uses are subject to performance standards as set forth in article 5, section

10.7 Site development plan approval. Site development plan approval in accordance with article 10, section
2 hereof shall be required prior to the issuance of building permits for the erection or enlargement of
all structures and prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for any change of use.
SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone)
The property is partially located within the SWPOZ (Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Area) found in
Article 3 Section 29.7 of the Zoning Ordinance. The SWPOZ does include a prohibition of certain
uses where the activity may be harmful to water resources; see Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §29.51.
However, this project site is within the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area which is exempted
from the SWPOZ requirements and restrictions as per Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §29.79.
IV. RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING STAFF:
This Request is to rezone lands from RG-O (General Residence and Office Zone) to IO
(Institutional and Office Zone) and to remain within the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection
Overlay Zone). The current RG-O zone allows for a mix of residential, office, and some limited
commercial uses especially within areas also location within the H (Historic District zone); some
of these uses are permitted uses while others require conditional use review. The RG-O zone
while permitting offices does not allow hospitals. See Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §9.
The IO Zone generally does not allow residential dwelling units instead focusing on offices,
public buildings, places of public assembly, institutional uses, and recreation related facilities.
The additional uses in the IO zone beyond office uses are schools and institutional buildings. The
IO zone also allows for uses including Child Day Care Centers and Adult Day Care Facilities
that would be allowed in any zone per the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §22. In the IO zone, the
allowable residential uses are related to institutional facilities like housing at colleges,
emergency shelter facilities, and transitional housing (allowed by definition in a single-family
house setting). The SWPOZ has provisions to protect underground water resources.

As part of the process to change the zoning district of a property outlined in Zoning Ordinance,
Article 10 Section 5, the City Planner must evaluate the following factors when considering the
request:
Article 10 § 5.22 City planner report. For each proposed zoning text amendment, the city
planner shall issue a report to the planning commission and city council, including
comments from other reviewing agencies, that evaluates the following factors:
(A) Whether such change is consistent with the aims and principles embodied in the
ordinance as to the particular zones concerned; and
(B) Whether such proposed amendment is consistent with the aims of the comprehensive
plan of the city.
Staff recommends that the Rezoning be granted to IO (Institutional and Office Zone). The
proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the Institutional Land Use
Category classification, as it fits the goals of the Comprehensive Plan by grouping similar
institutional activities together as this entire City block is the location of the hospital facility and
looks toward opportunities for future expansion. Rezoning to IO is one of the possible zoning
districts eligible for consideration in this Land Use Category classification. The IO zone permits
the institutional use as the hospital.
Staff also recommends that the property remains subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection
Overlay Zone). The purposes of the SWPOZ will help to protect underground water resource and
aquifers of our water supply.
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan encourages the long-term vitality of existing major institutions
such as the hospital/medical care facilities. These land holdings over an area of potential
expansion. There is existing infrastructure for water, sanitary sewer, and electric services in the
vicinity of the property (and could be expanded if necessary); and the police, fire, and emergency
medical services already service the area.
This Rezoning Request does not grant approval of a specific use for the property but makes its
land use subject to a listing of uses permitted and potential conditional uses as allowed in IO
(Institutional and Office Zone) zoning district and the SWPOZ. Were the application for
Rezoning to be recommended by the Planning Commission and subsequently approved by the
City Council, the applicant would still have to submit plans and/or permits for review for certain
uses or redevelopment of the site.
This recommendation is being made without the benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding
landowners and residents. A public hearing is required on this matter and the Planning
Commission should give those comments consideration.
V. PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW FOR RECOMMENDATION
This Rezoning Application is a request for a zoning map amendment which changes the zoning
district of a property. The Planning Commission as part of their public hearing and review
process will provide a recommendation on the rezoning request to City Council. As part of the
35

Item 5.
Z-24-06 Lands of Bayhealth Medical Center, Inc. at 600 South State Street
DAC Report of October 8, 2025
Page 7 of 7
process outlined in Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 Section 5, the Planning Commission must
evaluate the following factors when considering the request:
Article 10 § 5.36 Report of the planning commission. Regarding each application for a
zoning map amendment, the planning commission shall provide a report to the city council
stating a recommended action with regards to the proposed amendment, along with the
commission's evaluation of the following factors:
(A) Whether the uses permitted by the proposed change would be compatible with the
existing uses and zones in the area concerned;
(B) Whether adequate public services and infrastructure exist or can be created or
expanded to serve the needs of any additional demand as a result of such change; and
(C) Whether the proposed change is in accordance with the city's current comprehensive
plan.
A Recommendation Report from the Planning Commission will be forwarded to City Council for
their consideration of the Rezoning Application.
VI. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any Rezoning application does not represent
Site Development Plan or Subdivision Plan. Following any decision made by City Council
regarding this Rezoning, then an application for a Site Plan, Subdivision Plan, and/or
appropriate Building Permits must be submitted to the Planning Department prior to the
establishment of a new use, redevelopment activity, or any construction activity on the site.
The applicant should contact the Planning Staff to determine the appropriate review process
for any proposed projects.
2) The property is subject to certain requirements of the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection
Overlay Zone) related to development.
3) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any Rezoning application does not represent a
Building Permit, Demolition Permit, Sign Permit, or other construction activity permit
approval. A separate application submission is required before issuance of permits by the City
of Dover.
4) The applicant shall be aware that any future use and/or buildings may be subject to separate
permitting or licensing processes through the City of Dover Licensing and Permitting
Division. All businesses operating in the City of Dover are required to obtain a City of Dover
Business License. Certain types of uses also require a Public Occupancy Permit or Rental
Dwelling Permits.
If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the
above contact person and the Planning Office as soon as possible.

APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY Office
D.A.C. MEETING DATE: August 27, 2025
APPLICATION: Blue Hen Corporate Center Pad Sites Master Plan
FILE #: S-25-12 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning
CONTACT PERSON: Dawn Melson-Williams, AICP PHONE: 302-736-7196
The original Draft Report was initially prepared by Staff of the Rossi Group (under a Planning
Services contract with the City of Dover). The DRAFT Report was completed with additional
review and editing by the City’s Planning Office.
It is noted that a Revised Plan was received October 8, 2025 which revised the concept for the Lot
3 area (Parcel ED-05-077.00-01-19.08-000) from locations of proposed Building 3 and Building 4
to an improved large Parking Lot Area.
I. PLAN SUMMARY
This Application is for review of a Site Development Master Plan application for three parcels of
land with frontage on Bay Road consisting of a total of 23.61 acres ±. The properties are zoned SC-
2 (Community Shopping Center Zone) and with certain areas subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water
Protection Overlay Zone Tier 3 – Excellent Recharge Areas). The proposed project would set the
sites for two 8,000 SF buildings (Buildings 1 – 2) and associated 515 parking spaces to be placed on
the pad sites located at the Blue Hen Corporate Center. Development is proposed in no specific
phase order because it will be built to suit as tenants approach the developer. The property is located
on the east side of Bay Road and south of Blue Hen Boulevard. The owners of record are Blue Hen
CC, LLC, and Blue Hen Mall, LLC. Property Addresses: 631 Bay Road and 655 Bay Road and
another listed as 655 Bay Road (S-10). Tax Parcels: ED-05-077.00-01-19.08-000, ED-05-077.00-
01-19.04-000, and ED-05-077.00-01-19.05-000. Council District 2.
The applicant has also requested a waiver of the required upright concrete curbing along the front
drive and parking area in order to allow for the sheet flow of runoff from the parking areas to the
existing storm drain infrastructure located on the west side of the property.
Previous Applications
The project site has been associated with previous applications for Rezoning, Administrative Site
Plans, and Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plans. The collection of parcels previously known as the
Blue Hall Mall was rezoned from SC-3 to SC-2 with Rezoning Application Z-15-02 approved in
June 2015; the eastern area was rezoned to RG-2 along with an adjacent parcel which led to the
development of the Blue Hen Apartments complex. A Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plan divided the
southern portion of the main building at a different location. The most recent Administrative Site
Plan focused on Parking Lot Improvement at the south end of the building for Bayhealth. 48

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The application (as revised 10/8/2025) proposes setting the sites for two 8,000 SF buildings
(Buildings 1 – 2) and associated 515 parking spaces to be placed on the pad sites located at the Blue
Hen Corporate Center. The developer plans to phase construction and site improvements by
beginning with the removal of the existing pavement to install landscaping to enhance the current
appearance of the Blue Hen Corporate Center and then proceed with the development of the pad
sites for buildings and an improved parking lot area. As noted previously, the 8,000 SF buildings
will be built to suit as tenants approach the developer. The subject properties are located along the
frontage of Bay Road and are zoned as SC-2 (Community Shopping Center Zone) with one
overlapping the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone: Tier 3 – Excellent Recharge
Areas).
Surrounding Land Uses
As previously noted, all parcels are zoned SC-2 (Community Shopping Center Zone) with a portion
of the site subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone Tier 3 – Excellent
Recharge Areas). Properties immediately adjacent to the subject project locations are also zoned SC-
2 (Community Shopping Center Zone), with other nearby properties zoned IO (Institutional/Office
Zone) and C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). The main Blue Hen Corporate Center Building sites
to the east of the pad site areas. An auto care/service facility is located between Blue Hen Boulevard
and the northernmost proposed Building 1. The second northernmost proposed Building 2 is situated
between a car rental retailer to the north, and restaurant to the south. The southernmost parcel
proposed for an improved parking lot is located between the south entrance to the Blue Hen
Corporate Center and an empty lot zoned as C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) that fronts on Bay
Road and Energy Lane.
III. ZONING REVIEW
SC-2 (Community Shopping Center Zone)
The subject property area is zoned SC-2 (Community Shopping Center Commercial Zone) and the
overall combination of parcels working together as the Blue Hen Corporate Center comply with the
15-acre requirement for the SC-2 zone. The description of the SC-2 (Community Shopping Center
Zone) zoning district is provided in Article 3 §17 of the Zoning Ordinance and provisions identify
the allowable (permitted) uses and the related bulk standards for the SC-2 (Community Shopping
Center Zone). The SC-2 (Community Shopping Center Zone) allows for:
Article 3, Section 17.32
1. All uses permitted in the neighborhood shopping center zone SC-1;
2. Banks, theaters and restaurants;
3. Outlets and pickup stations for laundries and cleaning establishments. Except in self-service,
automatic laundry establishments containing not more than 30 washing machines, washing of
wearing apparel on the premises is prohibited. Except for incidental removal of spots with flammable
solvent, cleaning of wearing apparel or household effects on the premises is permitted only if
nonflammable solvent is used.
4. Manufacturing, assembling, converting, altering, finishing, cleaning or any other processing of
products where goods so produced or processed are to be sold at retail exclusively on the premises,
provided that:
(a) An area fully concealed from any street and equal to not more than 20 percent of the area
devoted to retail sales shall be so used;
(b) Except in connection with clothes pressing, electrical power not exceeding a total of five
rated horsepower and steam pressure not in excess of 60 pounds of pressure per square
49

Item 6.
S-25-12 Blue Hen Corporate Center Pad Sites Master Plan
DAC Report of August 27, 2025 and Updated per Revised Plan October 8, 2025
Page 4
inch shall be used exclusively;
(c) Not more than four employees are engaged in such production or processing.
5. Hotels and clubs.
6. Light motor vehicle service accessory to a permitted use, provided that all work is completed inside
a building and that no automobiles are stored outside.
The zoning references back to the SC-1 and C-1 zones also allow for the following uses: Business,
professional, and governmental offices, public libraries, banks, retail and service establishments,
one-family residences, apartments, and multi-family dwellings. The subject properties will have
frontage on Bay Road. The SC-2 (Community Shopping Center Zone) requires a 50-foot minimum
setback from the right-of-way and also a 50-foot setback from non-residential properties. According
to the Plan Sheets, the proposed building locations fulfill this requirement.
Since the proposed project would only set the site for two 8,000 SF buildings and development will
be built to suit tenants as they approach the developer, there are not yet building plans. The southern
parcel was revised to propose an improved Parking Lot. The height and number of stories for the
future buildings must be in compliance with the SC-2 (Community Shopping Center Zone) design
requirements. SC-2 (Community Shopping Center Zone) areas are subject to the same design
requirements as C-4 (Commercial Highway Zone), unless otherwise stated in Zoning Ordinance,
Article 3 Section 17. The maximum lot coverage permitted for C-4 (Commercial Highway Zone)
properties is 75 percent.
SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone)
The majority of the Parcel 19.08 which is proposed as a Parking Lot (previous showed Buildings 3
and 4 on this parcel) is within the SWPOZ – Tier 3 Excellent Recharge Area. The requirements
related to the SWPOZ are found in the Zoning Ordinance Article 3 §29. According to Article 3
§29.73:
Article 3 Section 29.73 Redevelopment. Site modification which requires site development plan
approval must create a 15-percent reduction in the amount of impervious surface on the site when
compared to pre-redevelopment conditions.
(a) If the 15-percent reduction would require a site to go below the 30-percent maximum
impervious surface provision of section 29.72, then the maximum impervious surface cover
for the site is 30 percent.
(b) If stormwater is infiltrated within the excellent recharge area as per section 29.72 then
only an amount of reduction in impervious surface which is necessary to meet the 60 -
percent maximum will be required.
The development of these pad sites is considered redevelopment since the existing condition is a
paved (parking lot) area. The parcel location will be required to reduce the impervious surfaces.
Site Development Master Plan
The plan for this project is submitted for review under the Site Development Master Plan process
(See Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.44 listed below). This process allows for a series of
construction phases to be outlined in a Master Plan for the Planning Commission review and
approval. Prior to each Phase of construction, a Site Plan specific to that phase is submitted for
Administrative Site Plan review.
Article 10 Section 2
2.44 Site development master plans. Conceptual site development master plans shall be reviewed
by the planning commission in accordance with the provisions of subsection 2.43. Conceptual site
50

development master plans shall depict a site development proposal that reflects general compliance
with the provisions of the zoning ordinance and shall also reflect the following information on the plan:
(A) Conceptual master plan. Conceptual master plan shall include the proposed general
layout of building, streets, parking, open space, landscape concepts, and stormwater
management areas.
(1) Detailed site construction plans, details, and specifications are not required as
part of a site development master plan submission.
(2) The plan shall illustrate distinct phase boundaries for each proposed construction
phase and shall depict proposed construction and site improvements planned for
each phase. Bulk quantities and area totals for each construction phase, and for the
total site, shall be tabulated in a data column on the plan.
(3) Each construction phase shall be enumerated in sequential order on the site
development master plan according to the order of construction contemplated by the
plan. Phases shall be implemented in accordance with the approved site
development master plan unless the city planner approves an alternate phasing.
(4) Each construction phase represented on the master plan shall be planned and
designed to function independent of construction and site improvements
contemplated in future construction phases in all respects, including but not limited
to bulk area provisions of the zoning district in which the site is located, off-street
parking requirements, site entrances, emergency access requirements, site utilities,
and stormwater management improvements except where the requirements and
needs of a later phase are met and remain met by a previous phase of completed
construction.
(5) Any special agreements or conditions of approval relative to the overall
development that have been specified by regulatory agencies shall be documented
on the site development master plan.
(B) Phased site plan approval. Individual phased components of the conceptual master plan
are to be reviewed and approved as an administrative site plan. Final site construction plans,
including detailed site grading, paving, utilities, stormwater management, and tree planting
and preservation plans shall be submitted for final approval by the city planner and/or
authorized designee, and to other agencies having jurisdiction, on a phase by phase basis
in accordance with the approved site development master plan, and all regulations of the
City of Dover governing the approval of site plans as set forth in subsections 2.4 and 2.5.
The project has submitted a Phasing Strategy Statement dated 8/1/2025 which does not identify a
specific order of phases. It only describes a series of construction actions beginning with removal
of the existing pavement and installation of landscaping and then development of the pad sites.
IV. PARKING SUMMARY
Per Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 17.5, all shopping centers must have no less than one
parking space for every 300 square feet of gross leasable area. See the following table for a summary
of the parking requirements compared to proposed parking. Each parking lot area will also have to
provide handicapped accessible parking spaces. The proposed Parking Lot only parcel only included
striped islands at the end of each row.

V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Access
The overall Blue Hen Corporate Center has two main access points (one is fully signalized) from Bay
Road. There is also access from Blue Hen Boulevard.
Lighting
Lighting of commercial uses shall provide no less than 1½ footcandles at grade. Light shall not be
distracting to traffic on adjacent roads. The owner and contractors of the future buildings and Parking
Lot area will coordinate final lighting locations; as currently shown, the lighting is placed within select
parking lot islands.
Dumpsters
Each property requires two dumpsters. According to the Preliminary Cover Sheet and General Notes,
each building has a dumpster enclosure to house the required dumpsters which must accommodate
trash and recycling.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks are required for all street frontages of a site. The plan does not show any sidewalks for
the frontages along Bay Road. Connecting sidewalks are also needed from the street frontage
sidewalk to the interior site circulation. In the SC-2 zone, the pedestrian traffic must be separated
from vehicle circulation on the interior portions of the site. If the applicant is seeking to eliminate
the frontage sidewalk/pathway, then a written waiver request is necessary for consideration by the
Planning Commission. It is noted that DelDOT may still require the sidewalk/shared use path along
the Bay Road frontage.
VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
No building architecture has been provided for review. The Architecture may be required to be
submitted for Planning Commission review as a condition of the Administrative Site Plan review
process.
VII. 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. The following table summarizes the tree planting requirements for each
project location based on the Tree Preservation and Density summary table.

DAC Report of August 27, 2025 and Updated per Revised Plan October 8, 2025
Page 9
1) Waiver Request - Elimination of Upright Curbing: In accordance Zoning Ordinance, Article 6,
Section 3.6(b) of the City of Dover zoning standards, the City Planner grants approval of the
request to eliminate select areas of the curbing for the parking lot areas if needed for the proposed
stormwater management design to allow for sheet flow of runoff to the existing storm drain
infrastructure located near South Bay Road. Parking bumpers must be added for any locations
where the curbing at the head of the parking space has been eliminated.
2) Pedestrian Circulation: The pedestrian circulation must be more clearly delineated for the overall
site of the Blue Hen Corporate Center. Also identify any of the transit stops at the site and ensure
pedestrian circulation connections are made from the pad site buildings and parking lot to the
main corporate center building.
3) Landscaping: It is recommended that a greater mix of tree species be considered for the frontage
plantings to avoid loss on all trees if a species is affected. The addition of more landscape areas
for tree planting is recommended for the proposed Parking Lot on parcel 19.08 and also for the
large parking lot area east of the development area on Parcel 19.05. There may be an opportunity
to increase the size of parking lot islands and medians to add plantings and pedestrian circulation.
4) Streetscaping: The design of the sidewalks along South Bay Road must be evaluated with
sidewalk construction standards and streetscape designs for the street and should match the
streetscape for each street. This should be coordinated with DelDOT. Planning Staff does not
recommend consideration of eliminating sidewalk/pathway in this area as studies have identified
gaps in the pedestrian circulation in this area.
5) Parking Lot Area: For the proposed Parking Lot area (parcel), Staff recommends the
implementation of parking lot islands with upright curbing as a traffic circulation control
mechanism and as a planting location for trees. This parcel must reduce impervious coverage
due to its location with the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) and as otherwise
required for lot coverage limitations.
6) Interconnection: With the previous development of the adjacent parcel to the south, a circulation
connection (easement) was established to connect to the Blue Hen Corporate Center. With this
project the continue north of the drive aisle interconnection should be finalized.
7) Electric Vehicle Charging Stations: In the individual Administrative Site Plans, please identify
if the project is planning for the installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in the parking
lot. Currently, the Zoning Ordinance does not require them, but many other jurisdictions have
implemented such requirements. Electric Vehicle Charging Stations formats include EV-
Capable, EV-Ready, and EV-Installed.
X. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) The Planning Commission should act upon the request for waivers as part of any motion
regarding this project application, or as a separate motion as necessary. Note: All waivers are at
the discretion of the Planning Commission. The Commission may approve or deny waiver
requests.

2) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Site Master Plan concepts occur in the
finalization of the Plan contact the Department of Planning and Inspections. Examples include
relocation of site components like paving and increases in building footprint. These changes may
require resubmittal for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning Commission,
or other agencies and commissions making recommendations in regard to the Plan.
3) Following Planning Commission approval of the Site Development Master Plan, each phase of
the Master Plan is subject to Administrative Site Plan review and approval. The Administrative
Site Plans must be revised to meet all conditions of approval from the Development Advisory
Committee or as otherwise noted.
4) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory Committee may
provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code requirements.
5) The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any ground disturbing activities on the site
the appropriate Site Plan approvals, Pre-Construction meetings, site inspections and permits are
required.
6) For building new construction, the requirements of the building code and the fire code must be
complied with. Consult with the Building Inspection Staff and City of Dover Fire Marshal
regarding these requirements. The resolution of these items may impact the site design including
such items as building dimensions and height, building openings, and fire protection needs, etc.
7) The applicant shall be aware that Site Master Plan approval does not represent a Building Permit
and associated construction activity permits. A separate application process is required for
issuance of a Building Permit from the City of Dover. Building Permits will be required for each
building.
8) The applicant shall be aware that Plan approval does not represent a Sign Permit, nor does it
convey permission to place any sign on the premises. Any proposed site or building identification
sign may require a Sign Permit from the City of Dover prior to placement of any such sign in
accordance with Zoning Ordinance Article 5 §4.
If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the above
contact person and the Planning Office as soon as possible.

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. Refer to Delaware 5101 Sediment and Stormwater Regulations 5.6.2.4 for guidance in reduction of
impervious for RPv Compliance. Proposed Building 2 will become an issue, since this is not a separate
parcel and is a part of the larger parcel for the site.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. A letter of no objection to recordation will be provided upon approval of the Sediment and Stormwater
Management Plan.

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.

Site Development Plan Review
S-25-12 Blue Hen Corporate Center Pad Sites Master Plan
This site plan needs to include pedestrian facilities along the frontage of each of the properties.
Bay Road is a major commercial corridor, with businesses and places of employment drawing in
substantial pedestrian and bicycle traffic as well as vehicle traffic. As discussed in Dover Kent
MPO’s Bay Road Pedestrian Path and Walking Trail Study, the road acts as a barrier to
pedestrian connectivity, as there are several key gaps in the sidewalk network and crossing the
road is also a challenge. 1 Furthermore, in the recently completed Kent County Safety Action
Plan, Bay Road was identified as a part of Kent County’s “High-Injury Network.” This means
the corridor has experienced a disproportionately high number of fatalities and serious injuries. 2
Bay Road has a Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) of 3 and 4, indicating the average bicyclist would
not be comfortable using it.

Item 6.
The applicant should follow both the City of Dover Code for sidewalks 3 and the DelDOT
specifications for pathways, 4 to make sure the requirements of both entities are met. A 10-foot-
wide shared use path is already built on the frontage of the property to the south, and another
path is available in front of the Kent County Levy Court building. The most logical means of
adding pedestrian facilities would be to build a 10-foot-wide path between the property to the
south and Blue Hen Boulevard, linking the two existing paths. This would lead to a nearly
complete connection on the eastern side of Bay Road. These improvements should also include a
crosswalk with ADA ramps across the two driveway entrances, one next to the Enterprise
building and the other next to the Firestone building.
The plan includes accessible parking spaces for each of the properties. These should be
accompanied by ADA ramps connecting to the entrances of the buildings. Crosswalks should
also be used within the parking lots whenever possible, which will allow motorists to move
safely between the buildings and their vehicles.
The trees and landscaping proposed around the parking lots will help in improving the aesthetics
of the properties. However, the number of parking spaces in the plan greatly exceeds the
minimum parking requirement in the City Code, equaling more than four (4) times the minimum
number. The applicant should consider reducing the number of parking spaces and including
additional landscaping. This would further enhance the properties by minimizing wasted space,
reducing runoff, and managing the urban heat island effect.
Finally, 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. 5 The inclusion of bicycle
parking would be especially beneficial to the corridor after a shared use path is completed. If
more information on specific types of bicycle racks is needed, please contact Dover Kent MPO.

WAIVER REQUEST
CITY OF DOVER
BLUE HEN PAD SITES
CURBING REQUIREMENTS
REQUEST: We request that portions of the required upright concrete curbing along the front
drive and parking area be waived by the Planning Commission.
EXTENT OF THE REQUEST: By code, all permanent parking areas shall be enclosed with
upright concrete curbing at least six (6) inches in height.
We are requesting a waiver to eliminate portions of upright
curbing to allow for the sheet flow of runoff from the
parking areas to the existing storm drain infrastructure
located on the west side of the property.
BASIS FOR REQUEST: Article 6, section 3.6 (b) of the City of Dover zoning
standards states that the Planning Commission may relax
this requirement for a portion of a parking area when there
is a demonstrated need to convey stormwater to a proposed
or approved stormwater management area. We are
proposing that the parking areas be allowed to sheet flow
stormwater run-off to the existing storm drain
infrastructure.

RE: Project Phasing Strategy Statement
BLUE HEN CORPORATE CENTER - PAD SITES
Dover, Delaware
2025059.00
Dear Commission Members:
On behalf of our client, Pettinaro Construction Co. Inc., we are hereby submitting this project
phasing strategy statement for your consideration for the project to be known as ‘Blue Hen
Corporate Center - Pad Sites’.
As part of the Site Development Master Plan code requirements, a Site Development Master Plan
is required to illustrate distinct phase boundaries for each proposed construction phase and shall
depict proposed construction and site improvements for each phase of the project.
At this point in time, the developer does not have a specific order for the phase of development
for each one of the pad sites. The pad sites will be built to suit. Therefore, the developer would
like to reserve the phasing order for the Administrative Site Plan review period. It is our
understanding that the developer is beginning to solicit the pad sites for development to interested
parties.
The developer plans to phase construction and site improvements by beginning with the removal
of the existing pavement to install landscaping to enhance the current appearance of the Blue Hen
Corporate Center. Then proceeding with the development of the pad site.
We believe the ‘Blue Hen Corporate Center – Pad Sites’ will be a great benefit to the City of
Dover. Please consider this statement as part of your review of the project.
Sincerely,
BECKER MORGAN GROUP, INC.

DRAFT
APPLICATION: LivSmart Extended Stay Hotel at 530 and 540 Bay Road
FILE #: S-25-14 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning
CONTACT PERSON: Dawn Melson-Williams, AICP PHONE: 302-736-7196
Note: The Review Report was initially prepared by Staff of the Rossi Group (under a Planning
services contract with the City of Dover). The Report was completed with additional review and
editing by the City’s Planning Office.
I. PLAN SUMMARY
This Application is for Review of a Site Development Plan Application to permit construction of a
new 5-story hotel of 113 rooms as a Hilton LivSmart Extended Stay Hotel and with associated
parking lot and site improvements. The project will involve the consolidation of two parcels totaling
2.20 acres +/-. The properties are zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) and are located at the
southwest corner of Miller Road and Bay Road with Martin Street to the west. The owners of record
are Bay Road Four, LLC and Bay Road Three, LLC and the equitable owner is Weathervane Capital
Partners. Property Addresses: 530 Bay Road and 540 Bay Road. Tax Parcels: ED-05-077.00-01-
45.00-000 and ED-05-077.10-01-10.02-000. Council District 2.
Previous Applications
The original Site Development Master Plan was approved in April of 2018, which planned for
offices on a portion of this site under S-17-19 Bay Road Office Park Master Plan (Planning
Commission review in July and October 2017). One office building was constructed with
Administrative Site Plan S-17-30 Bay Road Office Park Phase 1: Office Building. Final Record
Plan Approval was granted on December 18, 2028 for a Minor Subdivision Plan SB-19-8-04 that
reconfigured the involved parcels to set each building on a parcel. In 2021, the Master Plan
revisited the Planning Commission for review after the additional property at 530 Bay Road was
acquired and incorporated into the development plan. On March 23, 2022, Final Site Development
Master Plan Approval was granted to application S-21-05 Bay Road Office Park Master Plan
Revised for the construction of two additional office buildings and other site improvements for
Phases 2 and 3 to the east of the existing two-story office building constructed in Phase 1. Site
Development Master Plan S-21-05 expired in May 2023, as construction did not commence and
the applicant did not file an extension.
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. This project’s building square footage is below the threshold for PLUS
review.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The application proposes construction of a new 5-story hotel of 113 rooms, a Hilton LivSmart
Extended Stay Hotel, and associated parking lot and site improvements. The project involves the
consolidation of two parcels totaling 2.20 acres +/-. The properties are zoned C-4 (Highway
Commercial Zone) and are located at the southwest corner of Miller Road and Bay Road with
Martin Street to the west. The owners of record are Bay Road Four, LLC and Bay Road Three,
LLC and the equitable owner is Weathervane Capital Partners. Property Addresses: 530 Bay Road
and 540 Bay Road. Tax Parcels: ED-05-077.00-01-45.00-000 and ED-05-077.10-01-10.02-000.
The project is seeking two Waiver Requests: Reduction of Arterial Street Buffer and Elimination
of Loading Berth. See Plan Set submission (print date 9/3/2025) and architectural elevations
drawings.
Surrounding Land Uses
This subject property location is north of the entrance drive (driveway) to 550 S. Bay Road, east of
Martin Street, and south of Miller Road. As previously noted, both parcels in the application are
zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). The properties immediately adjacent to the subject
project location are zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone), with other nearby properties zoned
RG-1 (General Residence Zone) and RG-3 (Group Housing Zone). The residential properties are
located along Martin Street, west of the subject site. The property across Bay Road is zoned IO
(Institutional and Office Zone) and is the location of the Kent County Administration Building.
III. ZONING REVIEW
C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone)
The subject property is zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone); this zoning designation will remain
in place. The description of the C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) zoning district is provided in
Article 3 §16 of the Zoning Ordinance and provisions identify the allowable (permitted) uses and
the related bulk standards for the C-4 zone. The C-4 zone allows for “hotels as a principal use.” The
subject property, once combined into one parcel, will have frontage on Bay Road.

IV. PARKING SUMMARY
Zoning Ordinance, Article 6, §3 details required off street parking for special uses, including
hotels or motels. At least one parking space is required for each guestroom, plus one (1) for every
200 ft. of office space, banquet hall, or meeting areas.
• Calculation: 113 rooms x 1 space/room + (750 SF banquet / 200 SF) = 117 parking spaces
The applicant has provided 123 total parking spaces, 7 of which are handicapped spaces.
Bicycle Parking
Bicycle parking shall be provided for parking spaces at a rate of one (1) bicycle parking space for
every twenty (20) parking spaces. Based on the 123 parking spaces provided, seven (7) bicycle
spaces are required. The Plans submitted do not include any bicycle parking; the applicant has
indicated a willingness to find a placement location for a bicycle parking rack. Zoning Ordinance,
Article 6 §3.10 states “The planning commission may waive the requirement for
the bicycle parking if it is demonstrated that bicycle parking would not be appropriate for safety
reasons or due to the nature of the use of the site.” Unless the Planning Commission waives this
requirement, seven (7) bicycle parking spaces are required. No waiver request has been submitted.
V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Dumpsters
Dumpsters are required at rate of two dumpsters per non-residential building. This property would
require two dumpster units which must include provisions for both trash and recycling collection.
Two dumpsters are identified in the proposed plan and appear to be in the front-loaded format. The
detail sheet includes a detail for the dumpster pad, but not for the dumpster enclosure.
Lighting
The Plan shows light fixtures around the parking lot areas.
Site Access
Vehicular access is proposed from Miller Road and also from Bay Road via an existing
commercial driveway that serves the office building south of the proposed hotel. Access easements
currently exist on Martin Street; however, an additional access easement will need to be
established/clarified on parcel ED05-077.00-01-11.00-000, owned by Cohen Bay, LLC, to allow
access to Bay Road. There is no direct access to Bay Road or Martin Street from the subject site.
Martin Street can be accessed from the shared entrance drive.
The application proposes adequate pedestrian access to the site with new sidewalk proposed along
Martin Street and Miller Road, new crosswalks proposed across the Century Engineering drive
aisle and Miller Road. Both crosswalks tie into existing or proposed pedestrian facilities. The Bay
Road frontage includes a multi-modal/shared use path.
Waiver Request: Elimination of Loading Berth
The applicant has requested a waiver to allow for the Elimination of a Loading Berth. Zoning
Ordinance, Article 6, §4.25 states for hotels, one berth for each 25,000 square feet of floor area, or
fraction thereof [is required]. Based on the overall building size, three loading berths would be
91
Página 92
Item 7.
S-25-14 LivSmart Extended Stay Hotel at 530 and 540 Bay Road, Dover DE
DAC Report of October 8, 2025
Page 8
required. The applicant notes the proposed 5-story, 113 room Hilton LivSmart Extended Stay
Hotel does not contain any restaurant, bar, banquet or meeting facilities, and does not require any
major deliveries requiring a stand-alone loading berth. On occasion, linens, vending machine
concessions, and some office supplies may be delivered. However, these deliveries will be made
using small vehicles and trucks via the front entrance.
VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
The five story building features EIFS, or Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems, multi-layered
wall cladding systems featuring a foam insulation board, a reinforced base coat, and a decorative
finish coat, applied over the exterior sheathing of a building to provide insulation, moisture
resistance, and aesthetic versatility. The elevation plans identify three different exterior wall coat
colors (harbor gray, lampblack, and black beauty) and woodgrain accents for the exterior. Louvers,
vents, and grills are to be painted/prefinished to match adjacent EIFS color. Picture windows are
on all elevations and floors. The bottom floor features an entry canopy and double-framed sliding
glass doors on the east elevation. The south, west, and north elevations feature single-frame glass
doors. While signage is depicted on the building elevation drawings, all signage is subject to a
separate Sign Permit review process.
VII. 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 (the entire subject parcels) for
the submitted plan of 2.20 acres, 32 trees are required to be planted. The applicant has proposed 41
tree plantings in a mix of species. The tree plantings are proposed around the perimeter of the site
including in the Arterial Street Buffer along Bay Road and also in parking lot islands. Several
existing trees along the shared entrance drive to the south are proposed to remain.
Woodlands
The plan notes indicate the removal of 0.27 acres of existing woodlands for the construction of a
new building and associated parking. The applicant will be re-evaluating if this existing vegetative
area on the properties qualifies as “woodland” based on the definition below; it is not believed to
meet the woodland definition.
• Woodland. An area of contiguous wooded vegetation (7,500 square feet or greater), where trees
exist at a density of at least one tree with a caliper dimension of six inches or greater per 375
square feet of land and where the tree branches form a contiguous canopy.
Article 5 § 16.5 of the Zoning Ordinance addresses Woodland preservation and requires woodland
mitigation is clearing is necessary of over 50% of the woodland area. This must be clarified on the
plan to determine if the project requires woodland mitigation. See code excerpt below:
Article 5
16.51 Tree preservation and selective clearing plan required. All site development proposals which
involve the development of woodland areas and require planning commission approval shall
include a tree preservation and selective clearing plan as part of the submission plan. The tree
preservation and selective clearing plan shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of
subsection 16.5, subsection 16.7 and subsection 16.8 of this section.
16.52 Limited clearing for site development allowed. Generally, site development plans for the
construction of a new building within existing woodland areas shall limit clearing of the land to those
92
Página 93
Item 7.
S-25-14 LivSmart Extended Stay Hotel at 530 and 540 Bay Road, Dover DE
DAC Report of October 8, 2025
Page 8
areas necessary to provide for the placement of the building or group of buildings, adequate access
onto the property and to the proposed building or group of buildings, utility placement, off-street
parking and yard areas to allow for daylight infiltration and building maintenance.
When woodland areas are proposed to be cleared to allow for new construction, clearing within the
area of the proposed construction shall be limited to an area of 30 feet from proposed building
foundation, and 15 feet from off-street parking lots, and utility placement.
16.53 Maximum clearing requirement. Specifically, no more than 50 percent of a lot, parcel or tract
of land occupied by woodland vegetation may be cleared for any purpose.
Waiver Request: Reduction of Arterial Street Buffer
The frontage of Bay Road requires an Arterial Street Buffer 30 feet in width. The applicant has
requested a waiver from the Arterial Street Buffer requirement in Article 5, §7.3 to reduce the
width to 20 feet while still providing tree and shrub plantings and lawn area in the buffer:
Article 5
7.3 Arterial street buffers. Where nonresidential zoned property fronts on a
principal arterial street, as designated by the comprehensive plan, a landscape buffer shall
be required in addition to normal landscaping of the street right-of-way. This
landscape buffer shall be required when the property is subject to site development plan
review or site development master plan review by the planning commission according to
appendix B, zoning, article 10, planning commission. Arterial street buffers shall be a
minimum of 30 feet in depth, measured from the right-of-way line of the arterial street.
7.31 Landscaping of arterial street buffers. At the time of development of the
property, the arterial street buffer shall be planted with a variety of trees, shrubs and
ground cover. The landscape design and planting plan for
these arterial street buffers shall be subject to the approval of the planning
commission as an integral part of the site development plan.
7.32 Standards for arterial street buffer landscaping. Landscaping
in arterial street buffers shall follow the landscape guidelines outlined in appendix B,
zoning, article 5, supplementary regulations, section 15, landscape guidelines.
Landscaping shall be designed to enhance the appearance of the arterial street,
complement the architecture of buildings on site, and integrate with adjacent
landscape areas. Landscape designs and planting plans which would pose a hazard
to traffic on the arterial street, obstruct underground or overhead utilities or
infrastructure, or significantly impede visibility of properties from the street shall be
prohibited.
7.33 Planning commission waiver. The planning commission may approve
a buffer less than 30 feet in depth. In approving a lesser amount of buffering, the
planning commission shall consider the following factors:
a) Whether there are specific constraints related to existing lot size, lot
configuration or the orientation of existing buildings on adjoining properties
that would severely limit the development potential of the property if a
deep buffer was required.
b) Whether a deep or shallow buffer would cause the property to be out of
character with the surrounding built environment.
c) Whether there is significant landscape area within the right-of-way of
the arterial street itself that can contribute to the buffer, and whether future
road improvement activities are likely to reduce the depth of this area.
d) Whether the landscape design and planting plan for the buffer achieve the
standards of subsection 7.32—Standards
for arterial street buffer landscaping.
A waiver is being requested from installing a 30-foot Arterial Street Buffer along the Bay Road
frontage. Instead, the applicant proposes to install a 20-foot-wide Arterial Street Buffer. The
narrower buffer maintains the character along Bay Road (some uses have zero buffer) and the
93
Página 94
Item 7.
S-25-14 LivSmart Extended Stay Hotel at 530 and 540 Bay Road, Dover DE
DAC Report of October 8, 2025
Page 8
required landscaping can be achieved in the narrower buffer. In 2017, and reduction of the
Arterial Street Buffer to 20 feet was granted for the proposed office park to be located at this
location. The applicant notes that in preapplication meeting with DelDOT, it was determined that
no additional widening is required along Bay Road. The Planning Commission considers this
waiver request.
Parking Lot Screening
Portions of the site are located across the street from residential properties on Martin Street. The
Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §7.23 requires that when a parking lot is located across the street then
it must be screened with a hedge. The Landscape Plan shows this being implemented.
VIII. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS:
The subject proposal has been reviewed for code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness
in accordance with the agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following items have been
identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant:
1) Any Waivers granted by the Planning Commission must be noted on the final plan. The waivers
requested for this application include the Arterial Street Buffer width reduction and the
elimination of the loading birth requirements
2) The applicant must evaluate the existing vegetation on the properties to determine if it meets the
definition of “woodland” found in the Zoning Ordinance. If it does meet the definition, then full
clearing of this vegetation would require consideration of a Woodland Mitigation Plan for the
woodland area above 50% of the amount on the site. A Woodland Mitigation Plan would need
to be considered by the Planning Commission. Note: The applicant has indicated that this
vegetation likely does not meet the definition of woodland as it appears to be a hedge-like
overgrowth area along the property line.
3) Construction Plans, Sheet C302:
a) Site Data:
i) Update the data column to include building height and number of stories.
ii) Update the data column to include the full proposed building area, including all floors.
iii) Update the data column to include FAR calculation.
iv) Update the data column to include necessary bicycle parking.
v) Update the data column to include proposed setbacks, not just what is required.
4) Bicycle Parking: Add bicycle parking or a bicycle rack to accommodate the required bicycle
parking.
5) Ensure the project continues to comply with the parking requirements as project design is
updated to include a generator placement.
6) Clarify the following items in the plan set: fire lane striping/markings, the format of water service
connections (why split into 6 inch/2.5 inch so far from building) and valve locations, and distance
of parking spaces from the building.
7) The project requires sidewalk/pathway along all street frontages. Any existing sidewalk sections
found on these frontages must be reviewed for compliance with current sidewalk/pathway
standards.

a) The plan is difficult to read the location and details of sidewalk along portions of Martin
Street and at the intersection with Miller Road.
8) Provide construction details for the following items but not limited to, dumpster enclosure, traffic
control signage, lighting fixtures, bicycle racks, handicap signage, etc.
a) Ensure there is adequate access to dumpsters to allow for collection by a refuse contractor.
9) The construction of the site entrances and street improvements must comply with the
requirements of DelDOT and the City of Dover Public Works Department based on street
maintenance responsibilities.
10) Any Erosion & Sediment Control Plans and Stormwater Management Plans granted approval
by the Kent Conservation District must reflect the Site Plan layout and design conditionally
approved by the Planning Commission and be in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and
technical review requirements of other agencies.
a) It appears that this property will connect to an existing stormwater management facility.
11) Any signage is subject to a separate sign permit application review process per the City’s Sign
Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 4. And signage depicted in this plan set
or architectural submission is not approved as it is subject to further review for compliance.
12) A Record Plan sheet will need to be prepared and reviewed in order to complete the parcel
consolidation process. The Record Plan would need to include access and utility easements.
13) The Final Plan set must include notes documenting any action taken by the Planning
Commission on the requested waivers and must list any additional conditions of approval.
IX. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET
CODE OBJECTIVES:
In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.2, the Planning Commission in
considering and acting upon Site Development Plans may prescribe appropriate conditions and
safeguards so that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the public
in general, and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken into
consideration. These safeguards may to the maximum extent possible further the expressed intent
of the Zoning Ordinance and the accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed in
subsections 2.21 to 2.28.
1) Waiver Request – Elimination of Loading Berths: Staff recommends approval of the request to
eliminate the loading berths/spaces based on the described functions of the building, i.e. no
banquet rooms or large vehicle deliveries. The Plan does include a drop-off area to the hotel
main entrance.
2) Waiver Request - Arterial Street Buffer: In accordance with Article 6, §7.3, the applicant has
requested a waiver from the 30-foot arterial street buffer, proposing a 20-foot-wide buffer. As
this would be consistent with or exceed the arterial street buffer in the adjacent area, Staff
recommends approval of this waiver noting that the area will include tree plantings and
landscaping.

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 is 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. There is an existing wet regional stormwater management facility located within Bay Road Office Park that
was designed to include a proposed 16,250 sf office building located at 540 Bay Road. The parcel located
at 530 Bay Road was not included in the design of the regional facility. We will need calculations provided
to show the existing regional facility would be able to handle the stormwater runoff generated by the
impervious of both parcels that are to be consolidated. If the existing regional facility cannot manage the
stormwater of both parcels, a separate stormwater facility would be required to manage the increased runoff.
2. The existing regional facility was inspected on 7/24/24 and a letter was drafted and sent to the owner of
record on 7/30/24, detailing the requirement for maintenance to be performed. All required maintenance to
the stormwater facility would need to be completed prior to KCD plan approval.
3. We will require to hold a pre-application meeting prior to a formal submittal and application for the project.
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. A letter of no objection to recordation will be provided upon approval of the Sediment and Stormwater
Management Plan.

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.

Site Development Plan Review
S-25-14 LivSmart Extended Stay Hotel at 530 and 540 Bay Road
The site plan shows a continuation of the ten-foot-wide shared use path that is currently located
along the frontage of 540 Bay Road. This is an important feature that will have a positive impact
on safety and connectivity. Bay Road is a major commercial corridor, with businesses and places
of employment drawing in substantial pedestrian and bicycle traffic as well as vehicle traffic. As
discussed in Dover Kent MPO’s Bay Road Pedestrian Path and Walking Trail Study, the road
acts as a barrier to pedestrian connectivity, as there are several key gaps in the sidewalk network
and crossing the road is also a challenge.1 Furthermore, in the recently completed Kent County
Safety Action Plan, Bay Road was identified as a part of Kent County’s “High-Injury Network.”
This means the corridor has experienced a disproportionately high number of fatalities and
serious injuries.2 Bay Road has a Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) of 3 and 4, indicating the average

bicyclist would not be comfortable using it. This heightens the need for separated facilities. Note
that the applicant should follow both the City of Dover Code for sidewalks3 and the DelDOT
specifications for pathways,4 to make sure the requirements of both entities are met.
It would also be beneficial to add a pathway as far north as the intersection with Martin Luther
King Jr. Boulevard. This is a distance of less than 500 feet, though it would provide a crucial
connection for guests at the hotel who are interested in walking to the nearby businesses. In
addition to being examined in the Bay Road Pedestrian Path and Walking Trail Study, Bay Road
is listed as a high-priority location for new pedestrian facilities in the 2020 Dover Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan.5 In this plan, a pathway that continues all the way to Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard is recommended to improve pedestrian safety and connectivity.
Other pedestrian improvements depicted in the site plan include a sidewalk along Miller Road,
crosswalks across Miller Road and the property entrance, and ADA ramps at key locations.
Accessible parking spaces are also used in the plan. Dover Kent MPO supports all of these
improvements to the property. The MPO also recommends adding sidewalks to the southern side
of the property (along the road leading towards Century Engineering), as well as crosswalks
connecting to the building from all sides, so that the property is completely navigable by
pedestrians.
Finally, the site plan makes references to bike racks that are to be added to the property. This
should be done at a rate of one (1) bicycle parking space for every twenty (20) vehicle parking
spaces in order to meet the City of Dover requirements.6 If more information on specific types of
bicycle racks is needed, please contact Dover Kent MPO.
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.

Item 7.
Applicant: Weathervane Capital Partners
Waiver Request #1: Waiver from City of Dover Code, Appendix B, Article 5, Section 7.3 .
Waiver Requested: Waiver from the 35-foot Arterial Street Buffer requirement along Bay Road.
Project Background Information: The proposed project is located on Bay Road (US113) in Kent County,
Delaware, within the limits of the City of Dover. The project also has access from Miller Street and the
Century Office entrance drive. The proposed project includes the construction of a 5-story, 113 room
Hilton LivSmart Extended Stay Hotel, parking areas, and associated amenities. The site plan is proposing
the required tree planning, including screening the residential neighbors at the back of the site.
A waiver is being requested from installing a 35’ arterial street buffer along the Bay Road frontage. Instead
the applicant proposes to install a 20’ wide arterial street buffer. The narrower buffer maintains the
character along Bay Road (some uses have zero buffer) and the required landscaping can be achieved in
the narrower buffer. In 2017, and reduction of the arterial buffer to 20 feet was granted for the proposed
office park to be located at this location. During our preapplication meeting with DelDOT, no additional
widening is required along Bay Road.
Waiver Request #2: Waiver from City of Dover Code, Appendix B, Article 6, Section 2.1 .
Waiver Requested: Waiver from providing an off-street loading berth.
Project Background Information: The proposed 5-story, 113 room Hilton LivSmart Extended Stay
Hotel does not contain any restaurant, bar, banquet or meeting facilities, and does not require any major
deliveries requiring a stand-alone loading berth. On occasion, linens, vending machine concessions, and
some office supplies may be delivered. However, these deliveries will be made using small vehicles and
trucks via the front entrance.

services contract with the City of Dover). The Report was completed with additional review and
editing by the City’s Planning Office.
I. PLAN SUMMARY
This Application is for Review of a Site Development Plan to permit construction of a convenience
retail store with fuel pumps in the City of Dover, to be located on the north end of the peninsula at
Route 13 (North Dupont Highway) and North State Street just south of Leipsic Road in Dover, DE.
The proposal includes demolition of existing buildings on the property and construction of a 1-story,
4,816 SF convenience store and 4,947 SF fuel island canopy, with 30 vehicle parking spaces,
landscaping, and stormwater management features. The 1.5227 +/- acre property is currently
occupied with single-story properties: Universal Assembling Enterprise, LLC (handyperson),

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. As the proposed structure area is not equal to or exceeds 75,000 SF, this project
was not required to complete PLUS Review process.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The application proposes construction of a 7-Eleven convenience store with fuel pumps in the City
of Dover. The property is located on the north end of the peninsula at Route 13 North Dupont
Highway and North State Street just south of Leipsic Road in Dover, DE. The 4,816 SF single-story

DAC Report of October 8, 2025
Page 3
structure is being designed to include a 4,947 SF fuel island canopy, a 30-vehicle parking space lot,
landscaping, and stormwater management features. The proposed site access will connect to N.
DuPont Highway to N. State Street on each side of the site.
The 7-Eleven will be located directly between Commerce Bank (north side) and Valvoline Instant
Oil Change (south side) on North DuPont Highway and the Silver Lake Beauty Salon/Family
Dollar/Planet Fitness shopping plaza (south side) on North State Street.
Surrounding Land Uses
The subject property is located near the intersection of North DuPont Highway and North State
Street. The site is bordered by North DuPont Highway to the east and North State Street to the west.
As previously noted, the applicant is seeking to consolidate four abutting parcels (ED05-068.09-01-
07.00-000, ED05-068.09-01-06.00-000, ED05-068.09-01-04.01-000, ED05-068.09-01-04.00-000)
as a single lot. Each of the parcels are zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). Properties
immediately adjacent to the subject project location are also zoned C-4. The subject parcel
properties have structures from previous commercial businesses that will be demolished prior to
proposed construction: Universal Assembling Enterprise, LLC (handyperson), Harrington Realty,
Inc, and Auto for You (used car sales/lot) & a single-story building (1021 North State St).
Surrounding uses are also zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). The abutting commercial
businesses are Commerce Bank (north side) and Valvoline Instant Oil Change (south side) on North
DuPont Highway and the Silver Lake Beauty Salon/Family Dollar/Planet Fitness shopping plaza
(south side) on North State Street. A Tim Horton’s Restaurant is under construction across North
DuPont Highway to the east and an apartment complex is located across North State Street to the
west.
III. ZONING REVIEW
C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone)
The subject property is zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). Article 3 §16 of the Zoning
Ordinance details the permitted uses within the C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). Based upon the
uses permitted in this zone, the proposed use as a retail use with automobile service (fuel pumps) is
permitted. Article 4, §4.15 provides the bulk standards for the C-4 zone. See compliance summary
below. The subject property fronts on two streets, north DuPont Highway and North State Street.

The plan as presented does not currently comply with design standards for motor vehicle service
facilities found in the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §16(m)(2) in that portions of the southeast
driveway on North Dupont Highway are within 10 feet of the southern property line, as stated
below:
(2) Entrance and exit driveways shall have an unrestricted width of not less than 16 feet, shall
be located not nearer than ten feet from any property line and shall be so laid out as to avoid
the necessity of any vehicle leaving the property to back out across any public right-of-way or
portion thereof.
The applicant has indicated that the design of this exit (right-out only) to DuPont Highway will be
modified to satisfy the 10-foot requirements. See the Colored Site Exhibit set, page 3 with red line
alterations to entrance designs.
IV. PARKING SUMMARY
The C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) includes a minimum parking requirement. Article 4 §15 of
the Zoning Ordinance requires that parking is calculated at 1 parking space per 300 SF floor area.
Available handicap parking is calculated at 2% of the required standard parking spaces. Based on
the submitted plans of the proposed Convenience Store area (4,816 SF), a minimum of 16 standard
parking spaces and 1 handicap space would be required. The Plans submitted include 30 total parking
spaces: 28 standard and 2 handicap parking spaces.
Bicycle Parking
Bicycle parking shall be provided for parking spaces at a rate of one (1) bicycle parking space for
every twenty (20) parking spaces. Based on the 30 parking spaces provided, 2 bicycle spaces are
required. The Plans submitted include 5 bicycle parking spaces (1 bicycle rack) on the north side of
the northern drive aisle.
V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Site Access
The site layout provides vehicle access on to the site from North State Street and North DuPont
Highway. The access to North State Street is shown as a 40-foot-wide driveway designed for two-way
traffic. The access to North DuPont Highway is shown on the plan as two 30-foot-wide access points,
with ingress shown at the north access and egress shown at the southern access location. The entrance
plans for North State Street and North DuPont Highway are subject to review and approval by the
Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT). See also updated Colored Site Exhibit set.
Pedestrian Site Access
The site plan shows existing sidewalk on North State Street. On the Site Plan, no sidewalk is shown
on the North DuPont Highway frontage of the site; however, the applicant intends to implement a
143
Página 144
Item 8.
S-25-51 7-Eleven, Review of a Site Development Plan at 736 N DuPont Hwy, Dover DE
DAC Report of October 8, 2025
Page 5
sidewalk as proposed on the Colored Site Exhibit Set and include the connecting sidewalk into the
site for pedestrian access. A frontage sidewalk is required on all street frontages. A connecting
sidewalk into the site is also shown from North State Street.
Dumpster/Trash Collection
This site will utilize private trash collection. The Zoning Ordinance requires two (2) dumpsters per
property for nonresidential uses. The applicant proposes two (2) external dumpsters near the North
State Street driveway. Trash collection must be provided for trash and recycling.
Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Upright Curbing
The applicant has submitted an attached request to permit parking spaces and sidewalks adjacent to
the building to be set flush at the same grade elevation, omitting an upright curb as required by
Article 6 §3.6(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant is proposing to install bollards between
the parking spaces and the building to permit an accessible transition from parking spaces to the
sidewalk surrounding the building. Other convenience stores in Dover have used these flush
walkway configurations to provide increased accessibility between the parking spaces and the
walkway for building entry.
VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
The application proposes a convenience store building. The proposed 4,816 SF single-story building
is being designed to include an adjacent 4,947 SF fuel island canopy with six fuel pumps. The
proposed one-story building will be 24 feet 8 inches tall with a flat roof. The proposed building will
feature two main material palettes. The first includes a beige/tan with matte black metal trim and
window frames. The second includes warm brown tones from the vertical plank along the
front/front-left sides. The building facing North DuPont Highway includes windows along the
building front and a canopy that extends along 62 feet of the building’s front wall. This is designed
as the building’s front entrance, with a variety of materials and colors. Signage is proposed along
with the color branding along over the front door and above and in line with the canopy. The building
face that fronts North State Street includes an entrance door with branding signage above it, and a
blank wall with little architectural relief.
The separate canopy structure over the fuel pumps is 17 feet six inches tall, with an open area of 14
feet six inches. The three-foot tall canopy roof fascia includes the 7-Eleven branding striping on all
four sides and signage on the front. Under this canopy are six dual sided fuel pumps (for 12
dispensers).
The branding and signage shown on the architectural elevations is not considered as part of the Site
Plan review. A separate application for Sign Permits is required. All signage must comply with the
requirements of Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §4 Sign Regulations. While all signage submitted has
not been reviewed for compliance with Article 5 §4, please note the following:
• The sign shown as P2 on page 1 of 22 of the Architecture and Signage package is a pylon
sign which is not permitted on North State Street. A monument sign of up to 32 square feet
in sign area and seven (7) feet in height is permitted in this location.
• The Sign Regulations permit two wall signs per frontage. As this property has two frontages,
four (4) wall signs are permitted. The canopy signs are considered wall signs.
• Gas station signage provisions are provided in the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §4.9 (C):
1. Canopy signs.

DAC Report of October 8, 2025
Page 6
(a) Canopy sign height shall not exceed 30 feet.
(b) Canopy sign copy shall be directed toward a public street.
(c) Canopy sign area shall be limited to no greater than 20 percent of the area of the
canopy face to which the sign is applied.
2. Exempt signs.
(a) State or federal required price per gallon signage shall not count towards overall
sign area for the site, unless they exceed 32 square feet in size.
(b) Price per gallon signs not exceeding two square feet, located on the pump itself.
VII. 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 66,329
SF, 23 trees are required to be planted. The applicant has proposed to preserve trees if possible and
will plant 59 new trees and 40 shrubs as part of landscape development. The proposed tress are
located primarily along the north property line, on the west side of the property along the North State
Street frontage, and along the south property line on the west side of the property. There are also
trees proposed along the North DuPont Highway frontage. Shrubs are shown between the
stormwater pond and North State Street and in the Arterial Street Buffer along North DuPont
Highway.
Because this property is across the street (North State Street) from residential, it is subject to the
landscaping standards for parking lots described in the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §7.23 as follows:
Article 5
7.23 Parking lots. Whenever a parking lot is located across the street from a residential use, it
shall be screened from view of such land by a thick hedge located along a line drawn parallel to
the street, such hedge to be interrupted only at points of ingress and egress and to meet the
corner visibility standards of appendix B, zoning, article 5, supplementary regulations, section
1.31. The open area between such hedge and the street shall be landscaped in harmony with
the landscaping prevailing on neighboring properties fronting on the same street. The hedge
shall be at least two feet in height at the time of planting and shall grow to no more than four
feet in height at the time of maturity. While the hedge is growing to a suitable height, an adjacent
four foot high fence may be required by either the planning commission or city planner, according
to the type of review required by appendix B, zoning, article 10, planning commission.
The Site Plan as submitted includes this required buffer with the landscaping (row of shrub
plantings) between the stormwater management pond and North State Street.
Waiver Request: Arterial Street Buffer
The applicant has submitted an attached request to permit an Arterial Street Buffer width of 23 feet
from the right-of-way instead of the required 30 feet under Article 5 §7.3 of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Waiver Request states that the dedication of the additional buffer would create a hardship and
that other properties along North Dupont Highway have mixed buffering ranges from what appears
to be no buffer up to 20 feet from the back of the sidewalk. As the site currently has no buffer, the
proposed plan would create a landscape buffer along North DuPont Highway, which is classified as
a Principal Arterial Street.

VIII. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS:
The subject proposal has been reviewed for code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness in
accordance with the agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following items have been
identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant:
1) Any waivers granted by the Planning Commission (and City Planner) must be noted on the Final
Plan. Waivers requested include the Arterial Street Buffer and Partial Elimination of Upright
Curbing.
2) The proposed building area is calculated using the proposed convenience store (4,816 SF) and
the fuel canopy (4,947 SF). The current listed building area is 9,766 SF +/-, while it should be
9,763 SF +/-; please clarify. This update should be applied to all sheets.
3) Property owner is currently listed as Harrington Four Seasons, LLC; however, the parcel at 738
N DuPont Hwy is shown in the Kent County property records with the owner Asher Four
Seasons, LLC. Prior to consolidation, all four of the parcels must be listed under the same titled
owner.
4) Provide a Record Plan sheet that shows lot consolidation and right-of-way dedication, and other
easements if required.
a) Confirm width of required right-of-way dedication along North DuPont Highway frontage.
b) Confirm what site elements, i.e. signage and landscaping, can be allowed in any permanent
easement required by DelDOT.
5) The construction of the site entrances and street improvements must comply with the
requirements within Article 3 §16(m)(2). The portions of the exit driveway on the SE side of
North DuPont Highway are currently planned within 10 feet of the property line on the south
side; this must be revised to comply with the Zoning Ordinance. This should be coordinated with
the DelDOT review process for Entrance Plan approvals. Note: The applicant has provided a
Colored Site Exhibit set showing the proposed design revision to accommodate the 10-foot
setback for the entrance and other striping for traffic control measures at the entrances.
6) A frontage sidewalk is required along the frontage of North DuPont Highway. The
sidewalk/pathway format should be coordinated with DelDOT review. Note: The applicant has
provided a concept to implement this sidewalk.
7) The architectural elevations include signage. Signage is not approved as part of the Site
Development Plan review and must be applied for through separate sign permits.
8) Provide construction details for the following items but not limited to, dumpster enclosure, traffic
control signage, lighting fixtures, bicycle racks, handicap signage, etc.
9) The construction of the site entrances and street improvements must comply with the
requirements of DelDOT.
10) Erosion & Sediment Control Plans and Stormwater Management Plans granted approval by the
Kent Conservation District and Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Management regulations
must reflect the Site Plan layout and design conditionally approved by the Planning Commission
and be in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and technical review requirements of other
146
Página 147
Item 8.
S-25-51 7-Eleven, Review of a Site Development Plan at 736 N DuPont Hwy, Dover DE
DAC Report of October 8, 2025
Page 8
agencies.
11) The Final Plan set must include notes documenting any action taken by the Planning
Commission on the requested waivers and must list any additional conditions of approval.
IX. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET
CODE OBJECTIVES:
In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.2, the Planning Commission in considering
and acting upon Site Development Plans may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards so
that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the public in general, and
the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken into consideration. These
safeguards may to the maximum extent possible further the expressed intent of the Zoning
Ordinance and the accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed in subsections 2.21 to
2.28.
1) Waiver Request - Arterial Street Buffer: In accordance with Article 6, §7.3, the applicant has
requested a waiver from the 30-foot Arterial Street Buffer, proposing a 23-foot-wide buffer. As
this would be consistent with or exceed the Arterial Street Buffer in the adjacent area, Planning
Staff recommends approval of this waiver. Additional greenspace will be located within the
right-of-way between the property line and paved travel lanes.
2) Waiver Request - Elimination of Upright Curbing: In accordance Article 6, §3.6 (b) of the City
of Dover Zoning Ordinance, upright curbing is not required in areas for handclapped access. As
the plan proposes the elimination of curbing between the parking spaces and building perimeter
sidewalk to facilitate access, the City Planner has granted the waiver for upright curbing in this
area.
3) Bicycle Parking: While the presence of the bike rack meets the Bike Parking requirements for
the site, Staff recommends that the bike rack location to be moved closer to the building to
minimize pedestrians/cyclists crossing across the interior drive aisle and increase safety.
4) Building Architecture – The rear building elevation, which fronts on North State Street, is a
blank building face with little architectural relief. Staff recommends that some of the
architectural elements/ material changes proposed for the front and left elevations be carried to
this rear elevation, which is also a second building front, to provide more visual appeal.
X. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) The Planning Commission should act upon the request for waivers as part of any motion
regarding this project application, or as a separate motion as necessary. Note: All waivers are at
the discretion of the Planning Commission. The Commission may approve or deny waiver
requests.
2) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Site Plan occur in the finalization of the Plan
contact the Department of Planning and Inspections. Examples include relocation of site
components like paving and increases in building footprint. These changes may require resubmittal
for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and
commissions making recommendations in regard to the Plan. 147

DAC Report of October 8, 2025
Page 9
3) Following Planning Commission approval of the Site Plan, the Plan must be revised to meet all
conditions of approval from the Development Advisory Committee or as otherwise noted. A
Check Print must be submitted for review by Planning Office Staff and the other commenting
agencies. Upon determination that the Plan is complete and all agency approvals have been
received, copies of the Plan may be submitted for final endorsement (Final Plan Approval).
4) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory Committee may
provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code requirements.
5) The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any ground disturbing activities on the site
the appropriate Site Plan approvals, Pre-Construction meetings, site inspections and permits are
required.
6) For building new construction, the requirements of the building code and the fire code must be
complied with. Consult with the Building Inspections Staff and City of Dover Fire Marshal for
these requirements. The resolution of these items may impact the site design including such
items as building dimensions and height, building openings, and fire protection needs, etc.
7) The applicant shall be aware that Site Plan approval does not represent a Building Permit and
associated construction activity permits. A separate application process is required for issuance

FILE # S-25-15 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-25-15 7-Eleven with Fuel Pumps at 736 and 738 N. DuPont Highway and 1021 & 1027 N.
State Street
Dover Kent MPO believes the property entrances proposed in the site plan need to be improved
significantly. These wide entrances are a notable safety concern, as there will be no clear
direction for motorists entering or exiting the property. This can be dangerous for motorists as
well as bicyclists and pedestrians. One strategy for addressing this concern would be to tighten
and channelize the two US13 (N. DuPont Highway) entrances. If the northern entrance only
allowed righthand turns onto the property, and the southern entrance only allowed righthand
turns out of the property, there would be far fewer conflict points and a reduced risk of crashes,
which would make this segment of US13 safer for all roadway users. Defined entrances with
crosswalks are explicitly recommended in Dover Kent MPO’s US13 Sidewalk Gaps study.1

US13 Sidewalk Gaps. Dover/Kent County MPO (2023). https://doverkentmpo.delaware.gov/files/2023/06/US13-
Sidewalk-Gaps-Final-6-2023.pdf#page=36.
163
Página 164
Item 8.
The entrance onto State Street could be improved in several ways. First, a connection to the
property to the north (TD Bank) would benefit customers of both businesses, as it would allow
them to easily travel between the two properties without having to use State Street. A shared
entrance with TD Bank should also be considered, as this would reduce the potential for a crash
on State Street and improve the overall flow of traffic. If this were to be done, further discussions
with DelDOT, the City of Dover, and the neighboring property would be needed.
Sidewalks need to be added to the frontage of the property, particularly on the eastern side of the
property along US13. This road is extremely dangerous for pedestrians, with a posted speed limit
of 40 mph, an average annual daily traffic (AADT) of 36,248, and wide driveway entrances with
no crosswalks. There are also many commercial destinations on US13, leading it to experience a
high volume of pedestrian traffic. In the recently completed Kent County Safety Action Plan,
both US13 and State Street in front of the property were identified as part of Kent County’s
“High-Injury Network.” This means both roads have experienced a disproportionately high
number of fatalities and serious injuries.2 Dover Kent MPO’s US13 Sidewalk Gaps study also
identifies the gap in front of the property, and complete sidewalks with crosswalks and ADA
ramps are recommended at this location.
The applicant should follow both the City of Dover Code for sidewalks3 and the DelDOT
specifications for pathways,4 to make sure the requirements of both entities are met. These
improvements should include a crosswalk with ADA ramps across all of the driveway entrances.
Also note that this segment of State Street contains newly installed sidewalks; therefore, any
sidewalks that are damaged or removed during the construction process should be replaced.
Finally, the site plan makes references to bike racks that are to be added to the property. This
should be done at a rate of one (1) bicycle parking space for every twenty (20) vehicle parking
spaces in order to meet the City of Dover requirements.5 If more information on specific types of
bicycle racks is needed, please contact Dover Kent MPO.
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.
