APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY
D.A.C. MEETING DATE: March 4, 2020
APPLICATION: Annexation of Lands of JACJIM, LLC at 679 Horsepond Road
FILE #: AX-20-03 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning
CONTACT PERSON: Samantha Bulkilvish, Planner PHONE #: (302) 736-7196
Summary
This application is for the Annexation and Rezoning of the property at 679 Horsepond Road,
Dover. It is a parcel of land totaling 2.00 acres +/-. The owner of record is JACJIM, LLC. Tax
Parcel: ED-00-078.00-01-02.02-000.
Existing Property
The property is located on the east side of Horsepond Road and south of but not adjacent to S.
Little Creek Road. The boundary of the City of Dover surrounds the parcel on all sides.
The property includes an existing small warehouse type building. The property is currently zoned
BG (General Business District) in Kent County. The owner would like to continue to operate his
business from the warehouse on the property as they seek to connect to City utilities.
Surrounding Land Uses
To the west of the parcel is a large swath of land that is used for an industrial park and contains
the Fordham and Dominion Brewery. To the north of the property is a small business park
containing some small warehouse type buildings along Maggies Way. To the east and south of
the parcel is the Dover Behavioral Health System consisting of a large hospital type building and
parking area.
Comprehensive Plan
In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Potential Annexation Areas (Map 13 -1) identifies the
property in the Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas. The Growth and Annexation Plan
Chapter (Chapter 13) notes that “Lands in this category are primarily enclaves of unincorporated
territory mostly surrounded by the City of Dover. In all or most of these cases, the City provides
these parcels with one or more essential service (sewer, water, police, fire, trash).” For Category
1: High Priority Annexation Areas, it notes in the Recommendations that “the City will not
extend sewer and/or water infrastructure to Category 1 areas unless the property owners annex
into the City” with consideration given for issues of health, safety and welfare.
The Comprehensive Plan also sets the review criteria for the review of zoning for parcels being
proposed for annexation. Chapter 13, page 13-9 notes that the Zoning Review may include:

The property is also subject to the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone). In this case the
property is located in the Accident Potential Zone APZ II and the Noise Zone Area B. The intent
of the Overlay Zone and the compatible land uses in the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone)
are given in Article 3 §22 of the Zoning Ordinance. See the following Code excerpt:
Section 22. - Airport environs overlay zone (AEOZ).
22.1 Purpose and intent. The airport environs overlay zone (AEOZ) is expressly intended to protect the
public health, safety, and welfare by identifying areas impacted by high levels of aircraft noise, and the
potential for aircraft accidents associated with airport operations, by regulating land use and the
construction of buildings within such areas. The AEOZ is further intended to preserve and promote the
integrity of the mission of Dover Air Force Base (DAFB) as a matter of local, regional and national
importance, by regulating development and land use within the specific areas surrounding DAFB, and to
protect DAFB from encroachment of incompatible land uses. The AEOZ shall serve as an overlay zone
that applies additional standards and requirements to properties located therein.
(a) The AEOZ is based on information provided by the Dover Air Force Base's Air Installation
Compatible Use Zone Study Update. The city shall work with the Dover Air Force Base to update
the provisions of this section as needed.
(b) In case of conflicting standards and requirements, the more stringent standards and
requirements shall apply. Uses prohibited by the underlying zoning designations of the properties
within the AEOZ shall not be permitted by this section.
22.2 Definitions.
(a) Air installations compatible use zones (AICUZ): is a department of defense program to achieve
compatibility between air installations and neighboring communities.
(b) Airport environs: is the geographic area that is affected by airport air traffic operations and
defined on the basis of those areas immediately impacted by aircraft noise of the 65 decibels
(dBs) and greater noise exposure areas as delineated by the current and approved DAFB air
compatibility use zone study. This area is represented as the airport environs overlay zone
(AEOZ).
(c) Day-night average A-weighted sound level (DNL): is a cumulative aircraft noise index which
estimates the exposure to aircraft noise and relates the estimated exposure to an expected
community response; a 24-hour energy average sound level expressed in decibels (dBs), with a
ten-decibel penalty applied to noise occurring between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
(d) DNL contour: is an isoline linking together a series of points of equal cumulative noise exposure
based on Ldn metric. Such contours are developed based on aircraft flight patterns, number of
daily aircraft operations by type of aircraft and time of day, noise characteristics of each aircraft,
and typical runway usage patterns.
(e) Decibel (dB): is a unit of measure of sound pressure or intensity.
(f) Ldn metric: is the average equivalent A-weighted sound level during a 24-hour day, obtained by
adding ten decibels to the hourly noise levels measured during the night (10:00 p.m. to 7:00
a.m.).
(g) SLUCM: Standard Land Use Coding Manual, U.S. Department of Transportation.
22.3 Accident potential zones and noise zones. The AEOZ is comprised of two basic regulatory
components: accident potential zones and noise zones. This section establishes three accident potential
zones and four noise zones. The boundaries of each of these zones are delineated on the City of Dover
Zoning Map and are further described as follows:

3,000 feet in width (1,500 feet to either side of the centerline of the airport runway);
(2) Accident potential zone I (APZ I) is that area immediately adjoining the outer edge of
the CZ and which extends outward from the boundary of the CZ a distance of 5,000
feet, and which is 3,000 feet in width; and
(3) Accident potential zone II (APZ II) is that area immediately adjoining the outer edge of
the APZ I and which extends outward from the boundary of the APZ I a distance of
7,000 feet, and which is 3,000 feet in width.
(b) Noise zones:
(1) Noise zone A (DNL A) is that area within and bounded by DNL contour lines of between
65 decibels and 69 decibels of noise pressure.
(2) Noise zone B (DNL B) is that area within and bounded by DNL contour lines of between
70 decibels and 74 decibels of noise pressure.
(3) Noise zone C (DNL C) is that area within and bounded by DNL contour lines of between
75 decibels and 79 decibels of noise pressure.
(4) Noise zone D (DNL D) is that area within and bounded by DNL contour lines of 80
decibels and subject to noise pressure of 80 decibels and greater.

Recommendation of Planning Staff:
Staff recommends the annexation of the property at 679 Horsepond Road and its rezoning
to C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) and subject to the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay
Zone) be approved as submitted. The subject property is in the City’s Annexation Plan of the
2019 Comprehensive Plan as Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas with a Land Use
Designation as Industrial. The C-3 zoning is consistent with the development in the area and is
consistent with the Land Use Designation of Industrial. The C-3 zoning is appropriate for the
current use of the property as a wholesaler and is consistent with neighboring zoning.
This recommendation is being made without the benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding
landowners and residents. A Public Hearing is required on this matter and the Planning
Commission should give those comments consideration. The parcel also meets the minimum lot
dimensions of 100 ft. wide by 100 ft. deep for a parcel zoned C-3 and will have no issue meeting
other bulk requirements.
ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT
1) From the agency comments received, it appears that ability to provide City water is
extremely feasible due to the proximity to existing infrastructure on the opposite side of
Horsepond Road. Sanitary sewer is also available; however, it may be more involved since
the applicant would have to connect to a pressure force main on the opposite side of
Horsepond Road which is located in an easement. It would be the applicant’s responsibility
to obtain permission to enter the existing easement.
2) Upon annexation into the City of Dover, the property will be subject to the provisions of the
Dover Code of Ordinances. This includes procedures such as review processes for plans and
permits for construction activities, etc.
3) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any Annexation & Rezoning application does
not represent a Building Permit or other construction activity permit approval. A separate
application submission showing all improvements is required before issuance of permits by
the City of Dover.
4) Regarding connection to City services (water and/or sanitary sewer) the applicant must
contact the City’s Department of Water & Wastewater for procedures, permitting and impact
fees.

Phase 1: construction of a new 238,500 SF middle schools building, parking, and other site
improvements; Phase 2: Sports Fields and two associated 2,300 SF buildings; Phase 3: 19,500 SF
future building addition; and Phase 4: two 33,800 SF future building additions. The proposal
involves a series of land tracts totaling 44.71 acres +/- and are zoned IO (Institutional and Office
Zone). The land tracts are located on the north side of Walker Road and east of Schoolhouse
Lane. The property is adjacent to Silver Lake. The owner of record is Dover Special School
District. Property Address (all parcels): 1 Pat Lynn Drive. Tax Parcel ID (all parcels): ED-05-
067.11-01-68.00-000. Council District 4.
Previous Applications
The subject site was the previous location of Dover High School constructed in the 1960s. As
part of the construction of the New Dover High School at 1 Dover High Drive (C-10-05 and S-
11-18) on the south side of Forrest Avenue, the high school building was demolished, and the
building footprint area stabilized. The existing athletic fields and tennis courts remain only with
the site access drives and parking areas.
Preliminary Land Use Services Review (PLUS)
The application was evaluated for the necessity of Preliminary Land Use Services Review
(PLUS). This project met the project size threshold established in the City of Dover’s
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that requires completion of the PLUS Review process
prior to application submission. The Dover Middle School project (PLUS #2020-03-04) was
reviewed at the PLUS Meeting on March 25, 2020. A PLUS Comment Letter dated April 23,
2020 was received and the applicant has submitted a Response Letter. (See Exhibits).
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property area consists of a series of land tracts totaling 44.71 acres +/- on the north
Paj 24
S-20-02 New Dover Middle Schools at 1 Pat Lynn Drive
DAC Report of May 6, 2020
Page 2
side of Walker Road and east of Schoolhouse Lane. It was the previous location of Dover High
School; several athletic fields (Football Field with Track and Baseball Field) remain on the
property.
The Site Development Master Plan proposes four (4) phases of the project for the New Dover
Middle Schools at 1 Pat Lynn Drive. Overall, the project involves the following:
• Phase 1: Construction of a new 238,500 SF middle schools building, parking, and other
site improvements.
• Phase 2: Sports Fields and two associated 2,300 SF buildings (Outbuilding – Concession
and Outbuilding – Maintenance).
• Phase 3: A future 19,500 SF future building addition to schools building.
• Phase 4: Two 33,800 SF future building additions to schools building.
The project also includes the associated site improvements related to sidewalks to interconnect
the building with the existing network of nearby streets, stormwater management facilities, and
landscaping. In the project development area, select existing parking lots, tennis courts, and
portions of the entrance drive will be removed for reconfiguration.
Surrounding Land Uses:
To the east of the Middle Schools property, is the Silver Lake Office complex along Silver Lake
Boulevard zoned CPO (Commercial and Professional Office Zone); the townhouse community of
Senators Lake zoned RM-1 (Medium Density Residential Zone); and a nursing home facility zoned
IO (Institutional and Office Zone). To the north, is Silver Lake. To the west is Woodcrest
residential community zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) and consisting of one-family
detached dwellings closest to the school. On the west, near Walker Road is an areas zoned C-1A
Limited Commercial Zone) with a day care center facility and multi-tenant office buildings. To the
south across Walker Road is a residential neighborhood of one-family dwellings zoned R-8 (One
Family Residence Zone) in the area of Pear Street and West Street; and the VFW Post and Fairview
Elementary School zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone).
III. ZONING REVIEW
IO Zoning District
The campus property is zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) and subject to the regulations of
Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 10 and Article 4 Section 4.15. The proposed use as middle
schools is a permitted use in the zoning district.
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 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 §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 development master plans shall depict a site development proposal that reflects
Paj 25
S-20-02 New Dover Middle Schools at 1 Pat Lynn Drive
DAC Report of May 6, 2020
Page 3
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 subsection 2.4 and 2.5.
IV. PARKING SUMMARY
The parking requirement for a school building is based on a rate one parking space per eight (8)
seats in the main auditorium, cafeteria, or gymnasium. Based on a seat count of 1600 in the
gymnasium, the Middle Schools building would require 200 parking spaces. The plan appears to
show a total of 294 parking spaces including handicapped accessible spaces and 28 bus parking
spaces.
The existing parking lot along the entrance drive (near wetland mitigation site) will be removed
with the reconfiguration of the entrance drive realignment and site circulation plan. At the front
of the Middle Schools building is a one-way drive loop with thirty-three (33) parking spaces. The
east side of the building is the bus parking area (28 buses) where the pavement will also be
striped for event parking to provide 118 spaces. The main parking lot of 245 spaces is found on
the west side of the school to serve the building as well as the nearby athletic fields area.
Loading Spaces
Institutional buildings such as school buildings require loading spaces at rate of one space per
10,000 SF and one space per each additional 25,000 SF. For buildings in excess of 150,000 S.F.,
Paj 26
S-20-02 New Dover Middle Schools at 1 Pat Lynn Drive
DAC Report of May 6, 2020
Page 4
loading spaces are required to provide three loading spaces. The plan shows a loading dock area on
the north side of the building presumably near the cafeteria facility portion of the building to satisfy
this requirement.
Bicycle Parking
The site is required to provide bicycle parking. The bicycle parking calculation is one for every
twenty parking spaces. Based on the 200 parking spaces specifically required for this new
building, at least ten (10) bicycle parking spaces are required for the project. There is a total of
fifteen (15) bicycle parking locations found on the south (main entrance), east side of the
building (near bus parking), and west side of the building.
V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Adjacent to Silver Lake
This property is adjacent to Silver Lake along its northern property line. As such, the Zoning
Ordinance, Article 5 §11.251 requires that the application be reviewed by the Silver Lake
Commission. This section code deals with scenic resources. Silver Lake, as a water body,
requires a 100-foot setback for development. This is shown on the plan. The Silver Lake
Commission reviewed the project at their Meeting of May 7, 2020 making a recommendation for
approval of the project design.
Wetland Areas
The property includes several wetland areas. The first is a wetland mitigation pond area
previously established at the northeast corner of Pat Lynn Drive and Woodcrest Drive as part of
mitigation for other activities (associated with improvements near Fairview Elementary School).
It is a part of system of stormwater management. The area is enclosed with a chain-link fence
system. This wetland pond area is federally regulated by the U.S. Army Corps; see attached
Exhibit Letter of April 28, 2020. This Site Plan does not propose any changes to this wetland
mitigation pond area. The existing parking lot to its north will be removed with the school
project and a segment of the entrance drive to the north is relocated.
The second is a wetland area (wooded area with two water prongs) to the east of the entrance
drive near existing tennis courts (to be removed) area that leads east to a portion of Silver Lake.
Per the Zoning Ordinance, if the wetland area is over 0.25 acres in size then a 100-foot setback is
required. There are some proposed improvements to the stormwater piping system that outfalls
into this wetlands area.
Special Flood Hazard Areas
Portions of the northern boundary of the site adjacent to Silver Lake are within the Special Flood
Hazard Area (100-year floodplain/ 1% annual chance of flood). This information is shown on the
FEMA FIRM Panel #10001C0xxxx effective date May 5, 2003. The Zoning Ordinance, Article
5 §11.21 requires that flood hazard areas (100-year floodplain) remain as open natural areas with
no impervious surfaces. Currently, these areas are wooded areas adjacent to Silver Lake and no
site improvements are proposed in that area. Per the Landscape Plan, there will be additional
trees plantings along the existing woodland edge and grass areas before the athletic fields
(softball and baseball).

DAC Report of May 6, 2020

Access
The main entrance to the site is along Pat Lynn Drive (named by City Council Resolution
adopted April 10, 1995) which intersects Walker Road at a signalized intersection. Pat Lynn
Drive has a divided by a median area until a break for the intersection with Woodcrest Drive
which travels west into the adjacent Woodcrest residential neighborhood. The entrance drive
continues north towards the schools building then provided access to the bus drop-off (event
parking area) on the east, a front entrance loop, and a parking lot on the west.
Sidewalks/Pedestrian Circulation
Sidewalks are required along all street frontages. The plan shows existing sidewalk along Walker
Road and then construction of a new connecting sidewalk along the east side of Pat Lynn Drive and
the entrance drive leading to near the Middle Schools building. The new sidewalk system crosses
the entrance drive and continues to surround the schools building on sides while also connecting to
a pathway system leading to the athletic fields area. There is also any existing sidewalk on the south
side of Woodcrest Drive which continues south on the west side of Pat Lynn Drive to Walker Road.
All existing sidewalks must be evaluated for compliance with City standards (Zoning Ordinance,
Article 5 §18). The existing sidewalks along Walker Road, the southern segment of Pat Lynn Drive
and Woodcrest Drive do not follow the format of including a grass strip between the curb and
sidewalk; however, no site improvements are planned in these areas.
There is also an existing pathway that connects to the school property from the Woodcrest
neighborhood about in the middle of the east segment of Schoolhouse Lane. Once on the school
property, a new sidewalk with link this pathway to the site’s sidewalk system near the parking lot
and the west side of the schools building.
Lighting
Article 5 §7.1 stipulates that lighting shall provide no less than 1.5 foot-candles at grade. Light
shall also be deflected away from adjacent residential areas and shall not be distracting to traffic
on adjacent roads. Light poles are shown in islands of the parking lot and along the entrance drive.
Dumpsters
The institutional buildings are required to have two (2) dumpster pads based on the size of the
institutional building at a rate of two per the first 80,000 SF with one required for each additional
40,000 S.F. Thus, it requires five dumpsters for this schools building in Phase 1. With future
building additions, it would require an additional dumpster. The Plan indicates the placement of
two trash compactors in the loading dock area with an additional area reserved for future
dumpster placement (2) on the rear of the building for future potential use.
Curbing
Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Upright Curbing
The upright curbing for parking lots and drive aisles is required the requirements of Article 6
Section 3.6(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. This curb type appears to be utilized throughout the
project area. There is likely depressed curbing located at the necessary access points to the wide
pathway sidewalks at the rear of the building. The City Planner can consider requests to
eliminate curbing when there is a demonstrated need related to stormwater management.

Removal of Tennis Courts
The Middle School project plan includes the removal of the existing tennis courts in order to
accommodate the relocation of the entrance drive and circulation pattern for the new school
building and parking areas. The area will also be planted with trees for additional buffering of
the adjacent wetland area. The Tennis Courts have been identified as a Federal LWCF (Land &
Water Conservation Fund) project (LWCF Project #10-00102); see attached Exhibit Diagram
Map. There are options to allow for conversion of the protected areas and to serve as mitigation
of the removal of the tennis courts. Additional coordination with DNREC Parks & Recreation
Staff and their federal partners is necessary to ensure an appropriate public outdoor recreation
use is developed as mitigation.
VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
Conceptual Renderings and Elevation Drawings were submitted for the New Middle Schools
Building. The building is proposed as a two-story building in a modern aesthetic and general U-
shape footprint with central internal courtyard area. Each building elevation includes windows
and a series of changes in the wall plane by section and other projections with changes in
materials. The building includes the exterior finishes of brick masonry, a standing seam metal
panel system, aluminum curtain wall systems with glass wall & windows areas, and precast
concert panels (under windows). There are aluminum architectural roof equipment louver screen
systems on the flat/low-slope roof systems. The entrance faces south and is inset from the
building wings on the east and west which also include entrances. The south entrance elevation is
a large aluminum curtain wall system with vertical emphasis for central entry segment of the
building connecting the classroom wings. It also includes a canopy covering the front walkway
area at the entrance.
VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN
The submitted plan includes the Landscaping approach for the overall project. Zoning
Ordinance, Article 5, Section 16.62 offers the option of the applicant defining a “Development
Area” within the overall property for the purpose of tree planting calculations. Working with
Planning Staff, the applicant has established a “Development Area” for the project. As shown on
Exhibit Plan Sheet L-001 (red line) and Landscape Plan (dash grey line), the area begins at the
point of reconfiguration of the entrance drive and extends north to Silver Lake through the
schools building & parking lot areas and the athletic fields with the exception of the existing
stadium with track & field area.
With the tree planting requirement of one tree per 3,000 SF of Development Area, the
Development Area of 1,584,982 S.F. includes some woodland areas to remain and once those
areas are subtracted it requires 456 new trees. The existing woodland areas adjacent to Silver
Lake and near the wetland areas (near Tennis Courts) will remain. The Landscape Plan is
providing a mixture of trees to provide a total of 696 trees on the site and within the opaque
buffer areas. Planting of deciduous, evergreen, and ornamental trees are proposed at the edges of
existing woodlands, along the entrance drive, along property boundaries, and around athletic
fields.
Opaque Barrier
Screening is required wherever a non-residential use abuts a residential use. This screening must
consist of an opaque barrier (a fence, wall, or berm) at least six feet in height, accompanied by
Paj 29
S-20-02 New Dover Middle Schools at 1 Pat Lynn Drive
DAC Report of May 6, 2020
Page 7
landscaping (Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §7.2). This Opaque Barrier requirement applies to the
east side of the property for the segment adjacent to the townhouse development of Senators
Lake. This Opaque Barrier requirement also applies to the west side of the property adjacent to
the Woodcrest neighborhood. The plan as submitted by the applicant indicates the placement of a
fence in these areas and tree plantings of evergreen trees with some intermixed deciduous trees.

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) Recommendation on Waiver Request:
a. Partial Elimination of Curbing – Staff grants approval of the waiver request to relax
upright curbing requirements in select areas related to stormwater management facilities
where sheet flow of water into areas such as swales may be necessary.
2) Loading Spaces: In accordance with Article 10 subsections 2.21 and 2.27 and the loading
space requirements of Article 6, Section 4, Staff recommends approval that requirement for
three loading spaces required of this building project can be sufficiently serviced by the
loading dock area located on the north elevation of the building. This finding is based on the
uses and functions of the school building.
3) Adjacent to Silver Lake: This site is adjacent to Silver Lake and as proposed appears to
maintain the existing conditions (a wooded area) along the Lake’s edge and respects the
required 100 feet buffer from the water body. There is a stormwater system outfall pipe into
the Silver Lake. The Silver Lake Commission reviewed this Application at a Virtual Meeting
on May 7, 2020 and will provide any comments or recommendations for consideration.
4) Entrance Drive/Site Access: Evaluate with the City’s Department of Public Works, the
intersection of Woodcrest Drive and Pat Lynn Drive for any street improvements to better
define the intersection, traffic control measures (signage and striping), the turning
movements, and pedestrian amenities of sidewalks, crosswalks, etc. There were a series of
recommendations provided by DelDOT in the PLUS Review Letter. See the Department of
Public Works comments for recommended traffic control measures.
5) Pedestrian Connections: In accordance with Article 10 subsection 2.21 related to safety and
convenience of vehicular, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic, Staff recommends the
following related to pedestrian access:
a. Staff recommends acceptance of the existing sidewalks (without the grass strip) found
Paj 32
S-20-02 New Dover Middle Schools at 1 Pat Lynn Drive
DAC Report of May 6, 2020
Page 10
in the general vicinity of Pat Lynn Drive at Walker Road. However, the project
should ensure the site entrance drive includes the required accessibility ramps and
pedestrian crosswalk markings to maintain a viable pedestrian connectivity. This
includes the intersection at Walker Road and the intersection with Woodcrest Drive.
b. Ensure pathway from Woodcrest neighborhood is in good repair as associated with
any agreements related to its maintenance.
c. Provide several locations for bicycle parking as the new building and site
improvements has multiple approaches. The design of the site improvements may
also provide opportunities for covered bicycle parking as well.
Other agencies may recommend additional conditions and safeguards in accordance with
their areas of expertise. The Recommended Additional Considerations to Meet Code
Objectives may be accepted or rejected by the Planning Commission.
X. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) The Planning Commission should act upon any requests 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) The project site access via Pat Lynn Drive connects to the signalized intersection at
Walker Road, a State maintained road. The project will need to coordinate with DelDOT
to satisfy their requirements.
3) If major changes and revisions to the Site Master Plan occur in the finalization of the
Plan, contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of the building,
relocation of site components like stormwater management areas, and increases in floor
area count. These changes may require resubmittal for review by the Development
Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making
recommendations in regards to the plan.
4) In the event that there are changes to the architecture, building footprint, layout or square
footage of the building contact the Planning Office. These changes may require review by
the Planning Commission.
5) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory
Committee may provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code
requirements.
6) Following Planning Commission approval of the Site Development Master Plan, the Plan
must be revised to document all conditions of approval from the Development Advisory
Committee or as otherwise noted. This process involves submission of Check Prints in
order to achieve Final Plan approval; the finalization of the Master Plan and the Site Plan
for Phase 1 can be achieved together. Then the Site Plan of each construction
phase/project area (Phases 2-4) must be submitted for Administrative Site Plan Review

including such items as building dimensions and height, building openings, and fire
protection needs, etc.
8) 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.
9) Construction may have an effect on the adjacent property owners and visitors. Any work
requiring the closing or rerouting of residents or visitors should be coordinated as to offer
the least amount of inconvenience.
10) 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.
11) The applicant shall be aware that Plan approval does not represent a Building Permit and
associated construction activity permits. A separate application process is required for
issuance of a Building Permit from the City of Dover.
12) Public occupancies operating in the City of Dover are required to obtain a City of Dover
Public Occupancy Permit from the City Fire’s Marshal Office/Licensing and Permitting

STREETS
1. As part DelDOT’s PLUS comments, it was recommended that the northwest corner of the intersection be regraded,
the existing substandard guardrail be removed, the sidewalk on the north side of Woodcrest Drive be extended to Pat
Lynn Drive and an ADA compliant crosswalk be installed at Pat Lynn Drive. In order for this to work, regrading would
be required at the southern end of the wetlands mitigation area. As such work is not permitted, it is recommended
that no changes be made to the northwest corner of the intersection and that the existing guardrail remain intact.
2. DelDOT recommends that the intersection of Woodcrest Drive and Pat Lynn Drive be better defined.
a. Rather than physically extending the median island in Woodcrest Drive the Department of Public Works will be
able to install a painted island extension, which would provide the intended guidance, in conjunction with the
project. The Department will also install a stop sign and stop bar at Woodcrest Drive at the southwest corner of
the intersection, in conjunction with the project.

DNREC Sediment and Stormwater Program
DATE: April 7, 2020
SUBJECT: S-20-02 New Dover Middle Schools at 1 Pat Lynn Drive: Master Plan
CC: Gregory V. Moore, P.E., Becker Morgan Group
Jamie Rutherford, Program Manager II, Sediment and Stormwater Program
DNREC Sediment and Stormwater Program has reviewed the master plan provided with the DAC agenda
and offers the following comments:
1. A Sediment and Stormwater Management Plan must be approved by DNREC Sediment and
Stormwater Program prior to any land disturbance taking place on site. The Sediment and
Stormwater Program has a three-step plan approval process. The first step is to compile and submit
the Stormwater Assessment Study prior to scheduling a project application meeting.
2. A Notice of Intent (NOI) for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activity must be
secured prior to plan approval. The NOI application is an online system and the NOI fee is $195 and
is assessed annually until construction is complete and the project is closed out.
3. Because this was a previously developed site and the DNREC Sediment and Stormwater Program has
documented the previous impervious on the site through the 2014 former Dover High School
demolition plan, this site will be reviewed as redevelopment for the areas that were previously
impervious. Resource Protection Event (RPv) requirements, for the most part, will be based upon
section 5.6.2.4 of the Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Regulations, which applies to
redevelopment on sites that did not have stormwater management systems previously. Generally, the
redevelopment project will be required to employ stormwater management measures to achieve an
equivalent 15% reduction in effective impervious on the site. Conveyance (Cv, 10-year storm) and
Flooding (Fv, 100-year storm) events will need to be managed on site.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (302) 739-9921 or

WAIVER REQUEST
CAPITAL SCHOOL DISTRICT – NEW MIDDLE SCHOOLS
CURBING WAIVER
REQUEST: We are proposing a partial curbing waiver for portions of the campus parking or
drive area.
EXTENT OF THE REQUEST: By code, all permanent parking areas shall be enclosed with
upright concrete curbing at least six (6) inches in height.
The project is requesting a partial curbing waiver for
portions of the project in order to facilitate sheet flow OF
stormwater runoff from paved areas to continue its current
drainage pattern into pervious grassed and landscaped area
surrounding the proposed site ultimately to the proposed
and existing stormwater areas.
BASIS FOR REQUEST: Article 6, section 3.6 of the City of Dover zoning code
states that the city planner 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. While the full stormwater
management design is not finalized, we are requesting that
a partial waiver be granted for the project, limits of which
can be determined by planning staff.

RE: PLUS Review 2020-03-04; New Dover Middle School
Dear John,
Thank you for meeting with State agency planners on March 25,2020 to discuss the proposed
plans for the New Dover Middle School. According to the information received you are seeking
review of a proposal for a 238,359 square foot school on 44.71acres along Walker Road in
Dover
Please note that changes to the plan, other than those suggested in this letter, could result in
additional comments from the State. Additionally, these comments reflect only issues that are
the responsibility of the agencies represented at the meeting. The developers will also need to
comply with any Federal, State and local regulations regarding this property. We also note
that as the City of Dover is the governing authority over this land, the developers will need
to comply with any and all regulations/restrictions set forth by the County and Town.

a The site access is on Patrick Lynn Drive, a City-maintained street. Therefore, a DeIDOT
entrance plan is not required. However, the site does have frontage on Walker Road
(Kent Road 70) and DeIDOT anticipates that the City of Dover will require the school
district to obtain aLetter of No Objection to Recordation (LONOR) from DeIDOT as a
condition for final plan approval.
o Pursuant to Section P.3 of the Manual, a Pre-Submittal Meeting is required before plans
are submitted for review.
o Section P.5 of the Manual addresses fees that are assessed for the review of development
proposals. DeIDOT anticipates collecting the Initial Stage Fee when the record plan is
submitted for review.
a Per Section 2.2.2.I of the Manual, Traffic Impact Studies (TIS) are warranted for
developments generating more than 500 vehicle trip ends per day or 50 vehicle trip ends
per hour in any hour of the day. The PLUS application states that the proposed school
would generate 3,408 trips per day based on the school having 1,600 students. DeIDOT
confirms that number and further finds that928 of those trips would be generated during
the morning peak hour. Both of those numbers meet the above warrants.
a The purpose of a TIS is to determine what off-site transportation improvements are
needed to support the subject development. As the table below shows, the proposed
development would generate similar traffic to the high school that previously occupied
this address. For that reason, DeIDOT finds that a TIS is not necessary for the proposed
school.

a Tax parcel maps and DeIDOT's maintenance records show the block of Patrick Lynn
Drive between Walker Road and Woodcrest Drive as a City-maintained public street.
The plan accompanying the PLUS application does not show that right-of-way. In
accordance with Chapter 3 of the Manual, the plan should be revised to show the right-of-
way and who maintains it.
a As necessary, in accordance with Section 3.2.5 and Figure 3.2.5-aof the Manual,
DeIDOT will require dedication of rightof-way along the site's frontage on Walker
Road. By this regulation, this dedication is to provide a minimum of 40 feet of right-of-
way from the physical centerline of the road. The following right-of-way dedication note
is required, "An X-foot wide right-of-way is hereby dedicated to the State of
Paj 57
PLUS review 2020-03-04
Page 3 of9
Delaware, as per this plat." The existing righrof-way appears to be sufficient based on
the tax parcel maps but not based on the plan accompanying the PLUS application.
In accordance with Section 3.2.5.1.2 of the Manual, DeIDOT will require the
establishment of a l5-foot wide permanent easement across the property frontage on
Walker Road. The location of the easement shall be outside the limits of the ultimate
righrof-way. The easement area can be used as part of the open space calculation for the
site. The following note is required, "A l5-foot wide permanent easement is hereby
established for the State of Delaware, as per this plat."
a Section 3.5.4.2 of the Development Coordination Manual addresses requirements for
Shared Use Paths and sidewalks. For projects in Level I and2lnvestment Areas,
installation of paths or sidewalks along the frontage on State-maintained roads is
required. DeIDOT anticipates requiring a sidewalk along Walker Road. Preliminarily, the
existing sidewalk is acceptable in this regard.
a In accordance with 3.5.5 of the Manual, existing and proposed transit stops shall be
shown on the Record Plan with applicable bicycle and pedestrian connectivity. These
facilities may include passenger shelters, bicycle parking, landing pads, bus pull-offs,
walkways to the transit stop location, or some combination thereof, as required by DTC
or DelDOT, in consultation with the applicable land use authority.
o DART First State Bus Routes 101 (Walker Road) and ll2 (DelTech/West Dover)
travel Walker Road past this site. DeIDOT anticipates DTC requiring the
placement of an 8-foot by 12-foot Type 2 shelter pad, 130 feet east of the Stop bar
on westbound Walker Road.
a DeIDOT has three recommendations to the School District and the City regarding the
intersection of Patrick Lynn Drive and Woodcrest Drive:
o For liability reasons, DeIDOT recommends regrading the northwest corner of the
intersection and eliminating the existing substandard guardrail.
DeIDOT recommends that the intersection be better defined, to provide more
guidance to the driver and better safety for pedestrians. One specific action that
would help in this regard would be extending the median island on Woodcrest
Drive out closer to Patrick Lynn Drive.
(J To provide a more direct path between the end of the existing sidewalk on the
north side of Woodcrest Drive to the existing sidewalk on the east side of Patrick
Lynn Drive, and better pedestrian safety, DeIDOT recommends extending the
sidewalk on Woodcrest Drive out to Patrick Lynn Drive and constructing an
ADA-compliant crosswalk there. From the discussion at the PLUS meeting,
Paj 58
PLUS review 2020-03-04
Page 4 of 9
DelDor understands that the District expects virtually all walkers from
Woodcrest to use the path located at about 895 Schoolhouse Lane to access the
school, rather than the sidewalk along Patrick Lynn Drive. To the extent that
expectation is correct, this recommendation is less important.
o Because the left tum lanes on Walker Road serving Patrick Lynn Drive and Fairview
Elementary School are relatively short and are located back to back, DelDor
recommends that the District adjust their start times as necessary so that the capacity of
both lanes is available to both schools when it is needed. From the discussion at the
PLUS meeting, DeIDOT understands that the elementary and middle schools have, and
will continue to have different start times, such that no adjustment is needed.

Protected Recreation Area
o Portions of the site were purchased or developed with Outdoor Recreation, Parks, and
Trails (ORPT) Program or Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Program
assistance and are protected for public outdoor recreation or conseryation purposes in
perpetuity. The proposal indicates that the area sunounding the tennis courts may be
utilized as a roadway. If so, this use would require further coordination with the DNREC
Division of Parks and Recreation for the plans as they relate to the area suffounding the
existing tennis courts. This change may require a conversion through LWCF.
Recommendation:
o Please contact Bill Miller with the DNREC Division of Parks and Recreation, at (302)
739-9240 or bill.miller@,delaware.gov. The ORPT Program was formerly known as the
Delaware Land and Water Conservation Trust Fund or the "DTF Program."
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permittee
o The proposed Dover Middle School will be within the limits of the City of Dover Phase
II MS4 Permit. Therefore, pre- and post-construction must be compliant with the MS4
permit. From a surface water perspective, the 100-foot buffer and the two stormwater
areas that are being proposed should mitigate the stormwater that will run-off from the
newly proposed impervious areas before potentially discharging to Silver Lake.
Stormwater Management
o A detailed sediment and stormwater plan will be required prior to any land disturbing
activity taking place on the site. The plan review and approval as well as construction
inspection will be coordinated through the DNREC Division of Soil and Water
Conservation Sediment and Stormwater Program. Contact Elaine Webb with the
Sediment and Stormwater Program at (302) 739-9921, for details regarding submittal
requirements and fees. It is strongly recommended that you schedule a pre-application
meeting with the Sediment and Stormwater Section to discuss the sediment and erosion
Paj 59

Page 5 of9
control and stormwater management components of the plan. The site topography, soils
mapping, pre and post development runoff, and proposed method(s) and location(s) of
stormwater management should be brought to the meeting for discussion.
Natural Areas
o A portion of the project is located within the Fork Branch Natural Area and is listed on
the State Registry of Natural Areas. The site plan, as submitted, appears to avoid
development within the mapped Natural Area, which extends north from the northem
border of the parcel, however this environmental feature should be considered for
continued conservation/preservation if the plan changes or additional future development
is proposed.
a A "natural area" as defined by the law is ar.area of land or water, or of both land and
water, whether in public or private ownership, which either retains or has reestablished its
natural character (although it need not be undisturbed), or has unusual flora or fauna, or
has biotic, geological, scenic or archaeological features ofscientific or educational value.
Recommendation
o Impacts to natural areas should be avoided, if possible. For additional information about
natural areas, please contact Jennifer Holmes with the DNREC Division of Parks and
Recreation, Office of Nature Preserves: (302)739-9239 or
Jennifer.Holmes@ delaware. gov.
Wetland and Subaqueous Lands
o Portions ofthe project parcel, at the southeast corner near the tennis courts and at the
northwest corner, are likely to contain state regulated wetlands based on a review of
aerial photographs, Statewide Wetlands Mapping Project (SWMP) maps, Soil Surveys
and USGS topographic maps.
o An on-site inspection by a representative of the Wetlands and Subaqueous Lands
Section or a qualified soil scientist (Delaware licensed Class-D soil scientist),
before commencing any construction activities environmental, is recommended to
determine the limits ofjurisdictional wetlands. State regulated wetlands are those
wetlands identified on the State's official State Regulated Wetland Maps.
o For information pertaining to the delineation of tidal wetlands, contact the State of
Delaware's Wetlands and Subaqueous Lands section at (302) 739-9943 or find
further information online: https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/water/wetlands-
subaqueous/. A list of licensed soil scientists can be obtained from the DNREC
Groundwater Discharges Branch at (302) 739-9947.
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and excess nutrients
o The project is in the greater Delaware River and Bay drainage, specifically within the St.
Jones River watershed, which has an established Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL).
Paj 60
PLUS review 2020-03-04
Page 6 of9
A TMDL is the maximum level of pollution allowed for a given pollutant below which a
"water quality limited waterbody" can assimilate and still meet State water quality
standards to the extent necessary to support use goals such as, swimming, fishing,
drinking water and shell fish harvesting. The TMDL for the St. Jones River watershed
calls for a 40 percent reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus from baseline conditions. The
TMDL also calls for a 90 percent reduction in bacteria from baseline conditions. The
specific TMDL nutrient and bacterial load reductions for the St. Jones River watershed
can be viewed in the following web link:
http:/hwvw.dnrec.delaware.gov/swc/walPages/WatershedAssessmentTMDls.aspx
a In the St. Jones River watershed, a multifaceted and comprehensive process known as a
pollution control strategy (PCS) has been developed to enable such reductions.
Specifically, a PCS is a combination of best management practices and control
technologies that reduce nutrient and bacterial pollutant runoff loading in waters of a
given watershed. The PCS for the St. Jones River watershed consists of
recommendations from the following four areas: agriculture, land preservation (open
space), stormwater, and wastewater. A Pollution Control Strategy (PCS) to achieve the
required TMDL nutrient and bacterial load reduction requirements has been established
for the St. Jones River watershed. Additional information about St. Jones River PCS is
available from the follow web link:
Recommendations:
I In further support of the PCS, the applicant is also strongly urged to reduce nutrient and
bacterial pollutants through voluntary commitment to the implementation of the
following:
o Maintain as much of the existing forest cover and open space as possible in this
parcel. DNREC further suggests additional native tree, shrub and/or native
herbaceous vegetation plantings in available open space, wherever possible.
o Maintain the proposed 1OO-foot wetlands buffer, planted with native vegetation.
o Employ green-technology storm water management and a rain gardens (in lieu of
open-water management structures) to mitigate or reduce nutrient and bacterial
pollutant runoff. If open-water stormwater management is selected for use, they
should be employed for the management of stormwater, not for the creation of
additional pond acreage to enhance property/aesthetic values.
a) Make use of pervious paving materials to help reduce the amount of water and
pollutant runoff draining to adjoining streams and wetlands. Since much of the
proposed project area may contain a significant amount of imperviously paved
Paj 61
PLUS review 2020-03-04
PageT of9
area designated for parking, reducing impervious through use of pervious paving
materials would help mitigate impacts to water quality.
Assess nutrient and bacterial pollutant loading at the preliminary project design
phase. To this end, the Watershed Assessment Section has developed a
methodology known as the "Nutrient Load Assessment protocol." The protocol is
a tool used to assess changes in nutrient loading (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus)
resulting from the conversion of individual or combined land parcels to a changed
or different land use; thus providing applicants and governmental entities with
quantitative information about the project's impact(s) on baseline water quality
and help them design and implement the most environmentally-effective
strategies. Alternatively, the applicant/developer may substitute the land-use
loading rate model and report developed by the Chesapeake Bay program as the
primary model to quantitatively assess nutrient loading from this project. The
link for Chesapeake Bay model report with land use loading rates is as follows:
Stormwater Pond Buffers
o DNREC reviewers recommend planting the area surrounding stormwater ponds with a
mix of native wildflower plantings (in accordance with the Sediment and Stormwater
Plan approval agency requirements) to deter waterfowl from taking up residence in the
stormwater ponds. In addition to deterring nuisance waterfowl, the native wildflower
mix will also serve to attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, and reduce run-off,
which can contain oil and other pollutants. DNREC's botanist, Bill McAvoy, would
gladly assist in drafting a list of plants suitable for this site. Bill can be contacted at (302)
735-8668 or William.McA ware.gov
Low Impact & Sustainable Development Recommendations
o The applicant should consider the use of recycled materials, such as reclaimed asphalt
pavement, to reduce landfill waste, heat island effects on paved surfaces, and pavement
costs.
a Use efficient Energy Star rated products and materials in construction and redevelopment
to lessen the power source emissions of the project and costs. Every percentage of
energy efficiency translates into a percent reduction in pollution. Renewable energy
infrastructure such as solar or geothermal will further reduce pollution created from
offsite generation. Energy efficiency upgrades for your project may be eligible for
funding through the Division of Climate, Coastal, & Energy (www.de.gov/greenen ,
www.de.gov/eei0.
a Install electric vehicle charging infrastructure, or electric vehicle ready homes, to assist
Delaware in achieving its clean transportation goals. The Division of Climate, Coastal, &
Energy offers incentives for clean transportation (electric vehicle charging). These

a There are no know archaeological sites or known National Register listed or eligible
properties on the parcel.
a However, there is medium potential for prehistoric archaeological sites, but low potential
for historic archaeological sites to be present. Most of the parcel was an agricultural field
until the school was built in the late sixties.
o While there are no sites on the parcel, there are two prehistoric sites within 500 meters on
similar terrain. The southern part of the parcel doesn't concern SHPO too much and looks
like it's been disturbed from the first school building.
o The northern part of the parcel where the ball fields are currently located are of main
concern
a Even though Silver Lake is a reservoir from a dam built in the early 1900s,the 1737

a If the wooded area is staying wooded like the application says and there's minimum
ground disturbance around that wetland buffer, DNREC advises caution while working
If there are plans for substantial ground disturbance or excavation for the softball held,
DNREC would advise you to consult an archaeology firm.
a If any project or development proceeds, the developer should be aware of the Unmarked
Human Burials and Human Skeletal Remains Law. (Del. C. Title 7, Ch. 54).
a If there is federal involvement, in the form of licenses, perrnits, or funds, the federal
agency, often through its client, is responsible for complying with Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act (36 CFR 800) and must consider their project's effects
on any known or potential cultural or historic resources. For further information on the
Section 106 process please review the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's

the tax parcel maps but not based on the plan accompanying the PLUS application.
Response: Our records indicate that 30 ft. of right-of-way is currently available along
the Walker Rd. parcel frontage. If correct, it is our intention to dedicate and additional
10 ft. of right-of-way as part of the LONOR process
• In accordance with Section 3.2.5.1.2 of the Manual, DelDOT will require the
establishment of a 15-foot wide permanent easement across the property frontage on
Walker Road. The location of the easement shall be outside the limits of the ultimate

Response: A permanent easement can be dedicated as part of the LONOR process.
However, it is our understanding that this easement is for the purpose of providing
pedestrian improvements (i.e. sidewalk or shared use path) within the easement. This
parcel currently has sufficient pedestrian improvements along the frontage and therefore
the easement should not be required.

installation of paths or sidewalks along the frontage on State-maintained roads is
required. DelDOT anticipates requiring a sidewalk along Walker Road. Preliminarily, the
existing sidewalk is acceptable in this regard.
Response: Sidewalk currently exists along the parcel frontage and meets current ADA
requirements, therefore we do not anticipate any additional sidewalk would be required
for this project.
• In accordance with 3.5.5 of the Manual, existing and proposed transit stops shall be
shown on the Record Plan with applicable bicycle and pedestrian connectivity. These
facilities may include passenger shelters, bicycle parking, landing pads, bus pull-offs,
walkways to the transit stop location, or some combination thereof, as required by DTC
or DelDOT, in consultation with the applicable land use authority.
o DART First State Bus Routes 101 (Walker Road) and 112 (DelTech/West
Dover) travel Walker Road past this site. DelDOT anticipates DTC requiring the
placement of an 8-foot by 12-foot Type 2 shelter pad, 130 feet east of the Stop
bar on westbound Walker Road.
Response: Noted. An 8’x12’ shelter pad will be provided on the Administrative Site
Plans for construction. In addition, the City code required bicycle parking spaces have
been shown on the plans along with adequate pedestrian connectivity throughout.
• DelDOT has three recommendations to the School District and the City regarding the
intersection of Patrick Lynn Drive and Woodcrest Drive:
o For liability reasons, DelDOT recommends regrading the northwest corner of the
intersection and eliminating the existing substandard guardrail.
Response: The guardrail can be removed, however no additional grading can be
performed in this area, as it is a federally regulated and protected wetland
mitigation area. A letter from the US Army Corps has issued the applicant a
letter stating that no grading or fill can occur in this area.
o DelDOT recommends that the intersection be better defined, to provide more
guidance to the driver and better safety for pedestrians. One specific action that
would help in this regard would be extending the median island on Woodcrest
Drive out closer to Patrick Lynn Drive.
Response: Noted. As Pat Lynn Drive is a City owned and maintained street, the
City Public Works Dept. has indicated that they concur with DelDOT’s
recommendation, however they would only require that the median island is
extended via pavement striping, not concrete curbing. We will add the striping
and this improvement will be reviewed by the City of Dover through the Site
Plan process. This improvement will not be reviewed and or approved by
DelDOT as it is a City Street.
o To provide a more direct path between the end of the existing sidewalk on the
north side of Woodcrest Drive to the existing sidewalk on the east side of Patrick
Lynn Drive, and better pedestrian safety, DelDOT recommends extending the
sidewalk on Woodcrest Drive out to Patrick Lynn Drive and constructing an
ADA-compliant crosswalk there. From the discussion at the PLUS meeting,
DelDOT understands that the District expects virtually all walkers from
Paj 67
January 22, 2019
Destiny Christian Center Addition
Page 4 of 9
Woodcrest to use the path located at about 895 Schoolhouse Lane to access the
school, rather than the sidewalk along Patrick Lynn Drive. To the extent that
expectation is correct, this recommendation is less important.
Response: Noted. As discussed during the PLUS meeting, the Woodcrest
pedestrians seeking access to the new facility will likely utilize the internal
subdivision connection provided and not traverse to the southern end of the site
to access the facility located at the norther end. In addition, as previously
mentioned above, this is a federal wetland area that would prohibit the filling of
the area necessary for installation of sidewalk. Also note that there is existing
sidewalk on the south side of Woodcrest Drive that will continue and be
extended to the facility.
• Because the left turn lanes on Walker Road serving Patrick Lynn Drive and Fairview
Elementary School are relatively short and are located back to back, DelDOT
recommends that the District adjust their start times as necessary so that the capacity of
both lanes is available to both schools when it is needed. From the discussion at the
PLUS meeting, DelDOT understands that the elementary and middle schools have, and
will continue to have different start times, such that no adjustment is needed.
Response: Noted. Timing can be staggered to accommodate the capacity of the lanes.

Protected Recreation Area
• Portions of the site were purchased or developed with Outdoor Recreation, Parks, and
Trails (ORPT) Program or Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Program
assistance and are protected for public outdoor recreation or conservation purposes in
perpetuity. The proposal indicates that the area surrounding the tennis courts may be
utilized as a roadway. If so, this use would require further coordination with the DNREC
Division of Parks and Recreation for the plans as they relate to the area surrounding the
existing tennis courts. This change may require a conversion through LWCF.
Response: As discussed with Bill Miller following the PLUS meeting, it is our
understanding that approximately 1 acre of recreation area was designated on this Site
for construction of the tennis courts. Bill indicated that a conversion is possible, and
viable options include designating this area elsewhere on site or on other Lands owned
by the Capital School District. It is the applicant’s intention to utilize the conversion
options to designate a new area for the recreation use. We will coordinate with DNREC
to facilitate the conversion through LWCF.
Recommendation:
• Please contact Bill Miller with the DNREC Division of Parks and Recreation, at (302)
739-9240 or bill.miller@delaware.gov. The ORPT Program was formerly known as the
Delaware Land and Water Conservation Trust Fund or the “DTF Program.”
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permittee
• The proposed Dover Middle School will be within the limits of the City of Dover Phase
II MS4 Permit. Therefore, pre- and post-construction must be compliant with the MS4
permit. From a surface water perspective, the 100-foot buffer and the two stormwater
areas that are being proposed should mitigate the stormwater that will run-off from the
newly proposed impervious areas before potentially discharging to Silver Lake.
Paj 68
January 22, 2019
Destiny Christian Center Addition
Page 5 of 9
Response: The applicant will coordinate with DNREC – Division of Watershed
Stewardship, to comply with all applicable stormwater requirements including MS4
permit obligations.
Stormwater Management
• A detailed sediment and stormwater plan will be required prior to any land disturbing
activity taking place on the site. The plan review and approval as well as construction
inspection will be coordinated through the DNREC Division of Soil and Water
Conservation Sediment and Stormwater Program. Contact Elaine Webb with the
Sediment and Stormwater Program at (302) 739-9921, for details regarding submittal
requirements and fees. It is strongly recommended that you schedule a pre-application
meeting with the Sediment and Stormwater Section to discuss the sediment and erosion
control and stormwater management components of the plan. The site topography, soils
mapping, pre and post development runoff, and proposed method(s) and location(s) of
stormwater management should be brought to the meeting for discussion.
Response: The applicant has met with DNREC, Div. of Watershed Stewardship and
Elaine Webb to discuss the project application. We will obtain approval through their
Detailed Sediment and Stormwater Management Application process and provide all
applicable requirements determined by their office.
Natural Areas
• A portion of the project is located within the Fork Branch Natural Area and is listed on
the State Registry of Natural Areas. The site plan, as submitted, appears to avoid
development within the mapped Natural Area, which extends north from the northern
border of the parcel, however this environmental feature should be considered for
continued conservation/preservation if the plan changes or additional future development
is proposed.
• A "natural area" as defined by the law is an area of land or water, or of both land and
water, whether in public or private ownership, which either retains or has reestablished its
natural character (although it need not be undisturbed), or has unusual flora or fauna, or
has biotic, geological, scenic or archaeological features of scientific or educational value.
Recommendation
• Impacts to natural areas should be avoided, if possible. For additional information about
natural areas, please contact Jennifer Holmes with the DNREC Division of Parks and
Recreation, Office of Nature Preserves: (302)739-9239 or
Jennifer.Holmes@delaware.gov.
Response: Noted. Natural area disturbance is avoided with this development.
Wetland and Subaqueous Lands
• Portions of the project parcel, at the southeast corner near the tennis courts and at the
northwest corner, are likely to contain state regulated wetlands based on a review of
aerial photographs, Statewide Wetlands Mapping Project (SWMP) maps, Soil Surveys
and USGS topographic maps.
o An on-site inspection by a representative of the Wetlands and Subaqueous Lands
Section or a qualified soil scientist (Delaware licensed Class-D soil scientist),
before commencing any construction activities environmental, is recommended
to determine the limits of jurisdictional wetlands. State regulated wetlands are
those wetlands identified on the State’s official State Regulated Wetland Maps.

Groundwater Discharges Branch at (302) 739-9947.
Response: A wetland delineation was performed on this site in July 2019 by a
licensed soil scientist with Watershed Eco, LLC.
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and excess nutrients
• The project is in the greater Delaware River and Bay drainage, specifically within the St.
Jones River watershed, which has an established Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL).
A TMDL is the maximum level of pollution allowed for a given pollutant below which a
“water quality limited waterbody” can assimilate and still meet State water quality
standards to the extent necessary to support use goals such as, swimming, fishing,
drinking water and shell fish harvesting. The TMDL for the St. Jones River watershed
calls for a 40 percent reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus from baseline conditions. The
TMDL also calls for a 90 percent reduction in bacteria from baseline conditions. The
specific TMDL nutrient and bacterial load reductions for the St. Jones River watershed
can be viewed in the following web link:
http://www.dnrec.delaware.gov/swc/wa/Pages/WatershedAssessmentTMDLs.aspx
• In the St. Jones River watershed, a multifaceted and comprehensive process known as a
pollution control strategy (PCS) has been developed to enable such reductions.
Specifically, a PCS is a combination of best management practices and control
technologies that reduce nutrient and bacterial pollutant runoff loading in waters of a
given watershed. The PCS for the St. Jones River watershed consists of
recommendations from the following four areas: agriculture, land preservation (open
space), stormwater, and wastewater. A Pollution Control Strategy (PCS) to achieve the
required TMDL nutrient and bacterial load reduction requirements has been established
for the St. Jones River watershed. Additional information about St. Jones River PCS is
available from the follow web link:
http://www.dnrec.delaware.gov/swc/wa/Pages/WatershedManagementPlans.aspx.
Recommendations:
• In further support of the PCS, the applicant is also strongly urged to reduce nutrient and
bacterial pollutants through voluntary commitment to the implementation of the
following:
o Maintain as much of the existing forest cover and open space as possible in this
parcel. DNREC further suggests additional native tree, shrub and/or native
herbaceous vegetation plantings in available open space, wherever possible.
Response: Noted. No existing woodland disturbance is anticipated
o Maintain the proposed 100-foot wetlands buffer, planted with native vegetation.
Response: Noted. The 100 foot wetland buffer is respected with this
development
.
o Employ green-technology storm water management and a rain gardens (in lieu of
open-water management structures) to mitigate or reduce nutrient and bacterial
pollutant runoff. If open-water stormwater management is selected for use, they
should be employed for the management of stormwater, not for the creation of
additional pond acreage to enhance property/aesthetic values.
Paj 70
January 22, 2019
Destiny Christian Center Addition
Page 7 of 9
Response: Noted. The applicant will seek approval of the Stormwater
management design from the DNREC Division of Watershed Stewardship and
will achieve compliance with all applicable current regulations.
o Make use of pervious paving materials to help reduce the amount of water and
pollutant runoff draining to adjoining streams and wetlands. Since much of the
proposed project area may contain a significant amount of imperviously paved
area designated for parking, reducing impervious through use of pervious paving
materials would help mitigate impacts to water quality.
Response: Noted. The applicant will seek approval of the Stormwater
management design from the DNREC Division of Watershed Stewardship and
will achieve compliance with all applicable current regulations.
o Assess nutrient and bacterial pollutant loading at the preliminary project design
phase. To this end, the Watershed Assessment Section has developed a
methodology known as the “Nutrient Load Assessment protocol.” The protocol
is a tool used to assess changes in nutrient loading (e.g., nitrogen and
phosphorus) resulting from the conversion of individual or combined land
parcels to a changed or different land use; thus providing applicants and
governmental entities with quantitative information about the project’s impact(s)
on baseline water quality and help them design and implement the most
environmentally-effective strategies. Alternatively, the applicant/developer may
substitute the land-use loading rate model and report developed by the
Chesapeake Bay program as the primary model to quantitatively assess nutrient
loading from this project. The link for Chesapeake Bay model report with land
use loading rates is as follows:
http://cast.chesapeakebay.net/Documentation/ModelDocumentation
Response: Noted.
Stormwater Pond Buffers
• DNREC reviewers recommend planting the area surrounding stormwater ponds with a
mix of native wildflower plantings (in accordance with the Sediment and Stormwater
Plan approval agency requirements) to deter waterfowl from taking up residence in the
stormwater ponds. In addition to deterring nuisance waterfowl, the native wildflower
mix will also serve to attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, and reduce run-off,
which can contain oil and other pollutants. DNREC's botanist, Bill McAvoy, would
gladly assist in drafting a list of plants suitable for this site. Bill can be contacted at (302)
735-8668 or William.McAvoy@delaware.gov.
Response: Noted. Any required stormwater areas will meet the landscaping requirements
of the DNREC Div. of Watershed Stewardship. However, the City of Dover does have an
approved plant and species list, in addition to these requirements and must be met.
Low Impact & Sustainable Development Recommendations
• The applicant should consider the use of recycled materials, such as reclaimed asphalt
pavement, to reduce landfill waste, heat island effects on paved surfaces, and pavement
costs.
Response: Noted. The applicant will explore options available such as recycled
aggregate as a substitute asphalt base course.

• Use efficient Energy Star rated products and materials in construction and redevelopment
to lessen the power source emissions of the project and costs. Every percentage of
energy efficiency translates into a percent reduction in pollution. Renewable energy
infrastructure such as solar or geothermal will further reduce pollution created from
offsite generation. Energy efficiency upgrades for your project may be eligible for
funding through the Division of Climate, Coastal, & Energy (www.de.gov/greenenergy,
www.de.gov/eeif).
Response: Noted.
• Install electric vehicle charging infrastructure, or electric vehicle ready homes, to assist
Delaware in achieving its clean transportation goals. The Division of Climate, Coastal, &
Energy offers incentives for clean transportation (electric vehicle charging). These
programs address climate change goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
improving overall air quality (www.de.gov/cleantransportation).
Response: Noted. The applicant will research the availability of available grants and
initiatives for electric charging stations.
• Planting native trees will help clean the air of localized pollutants, replenish oxygen, and
cut down on residential energy/cooling needs.
Response: Noted.
• Use of structural paint coatings that are low in Volatile Organic Compounds will help
protect air quality.
Response: Noted.
State Historic Preservation Office – Contact Carlton Hall 736-7404
• There are no know archaeological sites or known National Register listed or eligible
properties on the parcel.
• However, there is medium potential for prehistoric archaeological sites, but low potential
for historic archaeological sites to be present. Most of the parcel was an agricultural field
until the school was built in the late sixties.
• While there are no sites on the parcel, there are two prehistoric sites within 500 meters on
similar terrain. The southern part of the parcel doesn’t concern SHPO too much and looks
like it’s been disturbed from the first school building.
• The northern part of the parcel where the ball fields are currently located are of main
concern.
• Even though Silver Lake is a reservoir from a dam built in the early 1900s, the 1737
Eastburn map shows the same water source near “Dover Town” up from Little Creek.
• If the wooded area is staying wooded like the application says and there’s minimum
ground disturbance around that wetland buffer, DNREC advises caution while working.
If there are plans for substantial ground disturbance or excavation for the softball field,
DNREC would advise you to consult an archaeology firm.

Response: Noted. An 8’x12’ shelter pad will be provided on the Administrative Site Plans for
construction.
• DTC suggests increasing the number of bicycle parking and a bicycle repair station to
encourage the use of non-motorized travel, especially for students
Response: Noted. It may not have been apparent, but fifteen (15) bicycle parking spaces are
provided on the plans. The applicant will further analyze the existing use of bicycle spaces at
their current facilities to determine if additional spaces would be needed.

Good afternoon Dawn,
I’d just like to summarize our conversation earlier on several items related to the project and provide
you additional information/clarifications.
1. Attached is a letter from the US Army Corps related to the wetland mitigation pond on-site.
The letter essentially states that there are two options to authorize filling of wetlands. A
Nationwide Permit, which we are not eligible for and an Individual Permit, which we are also
not eligible for. The individual permit requires that a purpose, other than a nuisance be
demonstrated, which we do not have.
2. Bill Miller, DNREC Parks and Rec, has confirmed that the tennis court area was a Federal LWCF
project (project # 10-00102) and the acreage is 1.046. See attached map. They do not have
any documentation readily available to verify this agreement but says it is in storage and they
will look for it. . The LWCF projects allow for conversion of the protected area.
a. Option 1 is to revised the plan to keep the existing area available for public outdoor
recreation use. FYI, we do not plan on using this option.
b. Option 2 is to plan for 1.046 ac. of public outdoor recreation use elsewhere on the
property. DNREC will contact the Federal Dept. of Interior for consultation and
conversion.
c. Option 3 is to replace the area elsewhere on another site. Potentially on other Lands
owned by the Capital School District. The Federal Dept. of Interior will consult on this as
option as well. This may be our intended option. Keep you posted.
3. As it relates to the Patrick Lynn drive right-of-way, our surveyor has checked for any
deeds/easements/plats that would have dedicated this portion of the road and have found
nothing. Not to say something might not be out there but we have researched thoroughly. If
you have any records of agreements City or State please forward to us. If nothing exists, then
possibly the City could request a cross access easement or similar be entered.
4. It is our understanding that you have contacted the Silver Lake Commission several times and
continue to ping them for response. We would be happy to make a presentation to them
regarding the proposed development. We have had a pre-application meeting with DNREC
and intend to comply with all current State regulations related to stormwater and discharge
to the Silver Lake Watershed. Please continue to press and let us know if there is anything we
can do to help facilitate a meeting.

5. The attached Landscape sheet shows a red border depicting the Developable Area: 1,584,982
S.F. as listed in the Tree Density Worksheet. As discussed in our pre-application meeting, we
subtracted out the existing track and field area with lines perpendicular to the parcel.

Mr. Jonathan S. Falkowski
Becker Morgan Group, Incorporated
309 South Governors Avenue
Dover, Delaware 19904
Dear Mr. Falkowski:
This letter is in regards to your request on behalf of the Capital School District regarding the
former Dover High School wetland site and the United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) regulatory authority. A request was made for the USACE to provide technical
assistance on options for the wetland site. The USACE provided clear guidance that included
simple maintenance and options for filling in the wetland site. Neighboring property owners
have deemed the wetland site a nuisance due to wildlife. As such, filling in the wetland site is
preferred by the neighboring property owners. The following provides a brief overview of the
USACE regulatory authority/process as it pertains to the wetland site.
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344) authorizes the Secretary of the Army,
acting through the Chief of Engineers, to issue permits, after notice and opportunity for public
hearing, for the discharge of dredged or fill material into the waters of the United States at
specified disposal sites (See 33 CFR Part 323). The selection and use of disposal sites will be in
accordance with guidelines developed by the Administrator of EPA in conjunction with the
Secretary of the Army and published in 40 CFR Part 230 (404(b)(1)) Guidelines for
Specification of Disposal Sites for Dredged or Fill Material).
In the case of the former Dover High School wetland site, 2 potential options are available to
authorize the discharge of dredged and/or fill material into the wetland site-Nationwide Permits
or an Individual Permit. Based on previous discussions, discharging dredged and/or fill material
into the wetland site would not meet the terms and conditions of any of the existing Nationwide
Permits. As such, the project would require review under an Individual Permit. This requires
the preparation of an Environmental Assessment following Appendix B of 33 CFR 230 for
documentation required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). In order for an
Environmental Assessment to be completed, a Scope of Analysis needs to be established by
demonstrating a purpose and need. The basic project purpose comprises the fundamental,
Paj 76
-2-
essential or irreducible purpose of the proposed project and is used to determine if the project is
water dependent as defined in 40 CFR 230.10(a)(3)(404(b)(1) guidelines).
In accordance with the 404(b)(1) guidelines, no discharge of dredged or fill material shall be
permitted if there is a practicable alternative to the proposed discharge which would have less
adverse impact on the aquatic ecosystem, so long as the alternative does not have other
significant adverse environmental consequences. Furthermore, no discharge of dredged or fill
material shall be permitted which will cause or contribute to significant degradation of the waters
of the United States. Findings of significant degradation related to the proposed discharge shall
be based upon appropriate factual determinations, evaluations, and tests required by subparts B
and G, after consideration of subparts C through F, with special emphasis on the persistence and
permanence of the effects outlined in those subparts. Under these Guidelines, effects contributing
to significant degradation considered individually or collectively, include: (1) Significantly
adverse effects of the discharge of pollutants on human health or welfare, including but not
limited to effects on municipal water supplies, plankton, fish, shellfish, wildlife, and special
aquatic sites; (2) Significantly adverse effects of the discharge of pollutants on life stages of
aquatic life and other wildlife dependent on aquatic ecosystems, including the transfer,
concentration, and spread of pollutants or their byproducts outside of the disposal site through
biological, physical, and chemical processes; (3) Significantly adverse effects of the discharge of
pollutants on aquatic ecosystem diversity, productivity, and stability. Such effects may include,
but are not limited to, loss of fish and wildlife habitat or loss of the capacity of a wetland to
assimilate nutrients, purify water, or reduce wave energy; or (4) Significantly adverse effects of
discharge of pollutants on recreational, aesthetic, and economic values. Additionally no
discharge of dredged or fill material shall be permitted unless appropriate and practicable steps
have been taken which will minimize potential adverse impacts of the discharge on the aquatic
ecosystem.
Based on current information presented for the former Dover High School wetland site, a
need to fill the site, other than that of a nuisance, has not been established. As such, there is no
purpose and a scope of analysis cannot be properly conducted to evaluate alternatives.
If you have any questions or require additional information, contact Michael D. Yost by
email at michael.d.yost@usace.army.mil or calling (267) 240-5278.

Subject: Re: Woodcrest Petition
Mrs. Tollinger:
Thank you for your email. I appreciate the active intetest in our community of you and the
Woodcrest Neighborhood Watch Association. I am aware that members have reaffirmed their
position electronically having witnessed it online. There is no need to risk revisiting people in
this public health crisis. I recognize the existing petition as valid due to the fact there is no
material change in the underlying circumstances thar generated it.
The resubmitted petition is formally received by the Parks, Recreation and Community
Enhancement Committee as the committee of jurisdiction regarding city planning and
community improvement projects including landscaping and beautification and other areas of
community enhancement according to CHAPTER 2, Article III Section 2-82 (a) (2). Pursant
Paj 84
to the city code and Delaware Constitution Article 1 Section 16, I refer the attached petition to
the Director of Planning for inclusion in public comment for matters relating to permits for
this property and the Clerks office for public record and inclusion on a future agenda.
I have cc'd the Council President, the at large Councilman and both 4th district Councilmen
(to include my official email account for purposes of public records) and the city manager for
informational purposes. .
Thank you for your phone call and email.
Respectfully yours
David L. Anderson
