RE: CDBG Grant Recommendations for FY16
________________________________________________________________________________________
Planning Staff has provided the proposed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
allocation recommendations for the FY16 CDBG grant renewal fiscal year. The proposed
grant funding recommendations will be allocated to the sub-grantees that were awarded
multi-year grants from the approved 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan.
The total grant allocation for fiscal year 2016 is $236,509.00 which is based on the FY16
grant allocation of $227,955.00, and anticipated program income of $8,554.00. Twenty
percent (20%) of the grant will be used for program administration to manage the CDBG
program and up to fifteen percent (15%) of the grant will be applied to public service
activities with a maximum of $35,476.
The following activities are projects to be funded by the City of Dover’s Community
Development Office CDBG program with proposed recommended funding allocations by
planning staff.
Homeownership Assistance Program
The City will provide settlement assistance up to $20,000.00 to assist up to 3 low to moderate
income persons that are first time homebuyers purchase affordable housing in the City of
Dover.
Program Administration
CDBG funds will be used to oversee management, monitoring and coordination of the

Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, Inc.
A. PROGRAM ACTIVITY
The program activity planned for the period 2015-2019 is the continued operation of our shelter for
homeless men. The Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing (DIMH) renovated a building at 684 Forest
Street with CDBG funds in 2010 and opened this 36-bed facility in September of that year. Since DIMH
began providing shelter, meals, and assistance to homeless men in Dover in 2008, it has served over
1,600 individuals. 283 resided in the shelter during the year January 1-December 31, 2015.
DIMH does much more than make it possible for homeless men to move in from the street: over 60% of
those entering the shelter leave with full-time employment and housing in the community. In addition,
crime and loitering are reduced, health is improved, and community is engagement in addressing the
needs of less-fortunate residents is greatly expanded.
While the costs of reduced crime and improved health among homeless men are difficult to quantify,
DIMH is able to estimate the value of employment: With at least 80 men re-employed annually in the
past, the impact on the local economy is in excess of $1.25 million.
DIMH now offers an extensive set of in-house training programs designed to enable men with various
employment histories to develop the capacity needed to apply for, interview for, and secure
employment along with the acquisition of personal, communications, and money-management skills.
All training is managed by a board member who is a retired educator, and all training is provided by
volunteers.
While DIMH staffing is limited, several board members are actively engaged and perform key
management, administration, and training functions for the organization. Full-time staff now includes a
program manager/job developer, two case managers, and an intake coordinator who also serves as
liaison with local prisons. Part of her responsibility is to ensure that men released from prison without
supportive families to return to can access the DIMH shelter and its programs to facilitate re-entry into a
productive lifestyle.
B. PROGRAM ACTIVITY
The 36-bed shelter requires substantial operating costs that include utilities, telephone, insurance,
cleaning and office supplies, and the maintenance and occasional repair of the facility. It is these costs
for which DIMH is applying for funds through CDBG. An adjacent daytime Resource Center opened
recently and is available to all local homeless adults who may wish to use it as a mailing address as well
as to obtain shower and laundry facilities and access to computers, phones, and counselors able to assist
with employment applications and referrals to services. Since its opening in early January, a constant
stream of visitors use the facility, averaging 40 to 45 daily. Most of these individuals are not DIMH
shelter residents but find shelter in "Code Purple" sanctuaries or on the street. It may be noted that
Code Purple Kent County operates under the auspices of DIMH; however, no CDBG funds are used or
sought for the operation of these refuges for homeless men, women, and families.
Paj 18
C. TIMETABLE
The shelter is already in operation, with a solid base of information regarding operating costs. This
facility is open year-round and is typically full. The City of Dover has permitted the DIMH shelter to take
in up to five extra men on cold winter nights, and this is often the case. There is no plan to change year-
round operations. Paid and volunteer staffing ensure responsible oversight and management every day
of the year.
Each month, several new shelter residents are admitted. The program focuses on enabling the men
sheltered to secure productive and self-reliant lives. Training is offered to ensure that each has a plan
and is able to apply for work, open a bank account, prepare for job interviews, and so on. Checklists
track the progress of each at 30, 60, and 90 days, with no one permitted to remain at DIMH unless he
has complied with the requisite steps of each month's checklist. Progress in achieving the steps listed in
these checklists is monitored by staff and key board managers on a weekly basis, with a fuller
assessment of the progress of each guest performed monthly.
D. DOCUMENTATION
The shelter's operation is well-known to CDBG and City officials; therefore, no documentation is
provided beyond the attached annual report for Calendar Year 2015, describing the organization's
activities and accomplishments.
E. CITY OF DOVER PLAN PRIORITIES AND PROJECT NEED
The DIMH shelter clearly provides aid to special-needs persons. Those sheltered are very low-income
(generally without any income at all) and are unable to meet their basic needs for shelter. Their lack of
shelter certainly poses an urgent community need that poses an immediate threat to their health and
welfare. In fact, demand for shelter is always highest and exceeds that which DIMH can supply during
cold weather and other weather emergencies, including summer storms and prolonged periods of rain
or intense heat.
There is a widely-recognized deficiency within the City of Dover of affordable rental housing and of
shelter for those who are homeless. DIMH cooperates with the People's Place/Whatcoat Shelter and
with The Shepherd Place, with all organizations making referrals to one another to ensure the best
placement and services for those most in need of shelter. DIMH efforts include the development of
affordable housing for those leaving the shelter and the leasing of housing in which individuals might
reside together, though these activities are not funded through CDBG.
DIMH estimates that there are at least 100 men in and around the City of Dover who are homeless. This
number has increased in recent years due to a combination of factors, including failure to house those
with mental illness, code enforcement displacement of residents of substandard housing, rising housing
costs, and continued high rates of unemployment or employment that is part-time or temporary. Many
landlords will not rent to those without secure and lasting employment or who have been released from
prison.
As this project is already in operation, DIMH continues to build on the experience of providing shelter
and services to the homeless population during the past seven years. A greater number of faith
communities, organizations, businesses, and individuals have come to volunteer and support the efforts
Paj 19
of DIMH. Most notable is the fact that such volunteer support generates more than 12,000 plates of
dinner annually with a zero food budget within DIMH. Additional volunteers have created and manage
Code Purple emergency shelter, the operation of the daytime Resource Center, and an increasingly
active and diverse program oftraining for shelter residents and other homeless adults.
The fact that support has been provided through CDBG has enabled DIMH to raise additional funds and
to borrow others needed to purchase and renovate the property at 1155 Walker Road, named Walt
Bagley Hall in honor of a deceased founding board member. This project has opened and will enable
thirty or more men to move from the shelter to stable, supportive housing for which they will pay a
modest rent. This fee will include utilities, two meals daily, and continued education and training
efforts.
F. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PRIORITIES ADDRESSED
The Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing provides decent housing, a suitable living environment for men
who would otherwise be homeless, and economic opportunity for residents as described in the annual
report. 36 men are sheltered and assisted at a time, with 283 served during calendar 2015. Well over
half are enabled to secure employment and stable housing in the community.
G. And H. LEVERAGE AND PROJECT COSTS
$30,000 is requested to maintain the costs of heat, electricity, telephone service, supplies, insurance,
and maintenance of the DIMH shelter. This compares with annual non-personnel operating costs of
approximately $45,000.
The Delaware State Housing Authority is providing $6, 781 for operating costs for FY2016, making it
possible for DIMH to cover manyt routine operating costs between these two grants. Any deficit is made
up from private donations with some contribution from the grant received from the Criminal Justice
Council.
When this amount requested is compared with the service provided, $30,000 may be divided by the 283
shelter guests or by the 12,410 person nights of shelter provided during calendar 2015:
$30,000 would provide 12,410 person-nights of shelter at $2.40 per person per night.
$30,000 would provide an average benefit of about $167 per person, 100% of whom have very low
incomes.
In addition to the grants for operating costs, DIMH has received a total of $245,000 in grants to support
staffing and programs for a total budget of $370,000 in overall support. The request of $30,000 would,
therefore, leverage another $340,000 in additional resources or more than ten times the CDBG request.
WORKPLAN
The DIMH workplan continues to be the provision of shelter, meals, and assistance to homeless men to
enable them to achieve lives of productivity and purpose. 36 men are sheltered at one time. Each new
entrant is provided with 30 days of shelter, during which he must demonstrate that he is serious about
Paj 20
securing employment and stability. Those who comply with the pursuit of this objective by participating
in case management and the extensive training offered are permitted to extend their stay.
DIMH plans to continue-at a minimum-its current staffing pattern and active board involvement in
daily operations and services. Additional funding is being sought to add professional staff so that
reliance on volunteer board members may decrease over time. With additional volunteers and
organizations engaged on an ongoing basis, there is no reason to anticipate a decline in services and
programs but, rather, an expansion of them.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The goal of the program is to operate a safe and healthful shelter for homeless men and to assist them
to obtain the food, medical attention, and other services needed to ensure their health and well-being
while enabling them to become self reliant. The shelter will continue to provide 36 beds and a
complement of regular training and education efforts as noted above.
Homelessness results in serious health conditions and is life-threatening. Those who are homeless
typically utilize emergency resources such as the hospital emergency room excessively. A few such
individuals in Dover have made eight to ten emergency-room visits during the past six months, resulting
in considerable cost to the community. Further, those who are homeless are unlikely to be in a position
to hold jobs and to be productive individuals able to contribute to the local economy.
The prevention of homelessness and the sheltering of the homeless reduces health risks and increases
the productivity of those who were homeless. Clearly, homelessness poses a serious and immediate
threat to the health and welfare of the community. The efforts of DIMH are a solution to this problem
locally.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
The number of men provided with shelter, meals, and assistance and the number who secure a stable
life outside the shelter are the key indicators of effective performance.
As noted, DIMH provided shelter, meals and services to 283 men during 2015, with more than 150
securing employment that was sufficient to enable them to live on their own and to meet their own
needs. In addition, less-measurable benefits accrued to the community that include a reduction in crime
and loitering and crime as well as an increase in overall health and well-being among the most
vulnerable members of the community.
DIMH typically generates results along the lines of 100 or more men re-employed in the community.
100 men who secure minimum-wage employment generate an economic impact of more than $1.7
million in terms of the wages earned and then spent locally. These numbers are more reflective of
recent efforts and experience.
BUILDING ON PREVIOUS WORK
The DIMH shelter continues to build on the experience gained by the work of the organization over the
past eight years. DIMH continues to respond to the needs of the homeless community: this past year,
Code Purple emergency cold-weather housing has been initiated under the auspices of DIMH. A
daytime resource center has opened to serve additional homeless individuals with personal needs
Paj 21
ranging from hygiene to employment assistance. An additional housing facility is opening to serve 30+
men who are able to pay modest rents but whose past instability and other challenges impede their
access to housing in the private market. DIMH also collaborates with many local organizations and
community efforts, including Restoring Central Dover, the creation of the Downtown Development
District, and the implementation of programs with resources from the Delaware State Housing
Authority's Strong Neighborhoods Housing Fund.
COORDINATION WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES
DIMH is an active member of the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce and regularly informs its
members and those of the Greater Dover Committee about DIMH efforts and achievements. Numerous
businesses contribute to the DIMH shelter, providing food and other materials needed. The Downtown
Dover Partnership leases the shelter facility to DIMH at a nominal rent, while the Downtown Merchants
Association contributes monetarily through its "First Friday" initiative. DIMH is one of the local charities
registered as a beneficiary of the Bayard Pharmacy donation program, and Bayard Pharmacy recently
sponsored a benefit dinner for DIMH in partnership with the local group called "Gals That Give." Several
local businesses contributed gifts for an auction at this dinner to raise additional funds.
Through the Cen-Del Foundation, DIMH is accessing donations of supplies and materials from the
Greater Kent Committee network of businesses. This past year, such items as file cabinets, room
dividers, pens and some tablets of paper were obtained from local businesses. Olive Garden and some
other stores and restaurants provide meals and surplus food. This network of food providers is
increasing, with regular pickups at several local restaurants and retailers.
TD Bank has a special working relationship with DIMH, enabling shelter residents to open bank accounts
with a $25 contribution from the bank along with training in the use and management of bank accounts.
DIMH is a member of the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce and regularly interacts with Chamber
members to enlist their support as volunteers and contributors. This relationship has done much to
enhance the awareness of DIMH, its mission, and the need for the community to assist the homeless.
Partnerships with local builders and contractors have made it possible for DIMH to renovate Walt Bagley
Hall (a new congregate housing facility) and a daytime Resource Center for the homeless. Dover area
Rotary Clubs have been instrumental in making the Resource Center a reality.
Suppliers of building materials have been cooperative in terms of providing discounts for DIMH purchase
of materials for these and other projects. DIMH also works with a number of local landlords to secure
housing for men moving from the shelter to independence, as DIMH references-and guarantees when
needed-often make the difference in accessing private housing for former shelter residents. DIMH
residents with construction skills are increasingly employed by local businesses for a variety of small
renovation and repair projects.
Further, DIMH collaborates actively with local agencies and nonprofits to ensure that services are
available to those engaged with DIMH housing and programs. Most notably, DIMH initiated a
collaborative forum with the Cen-Del Foundation that is expected to generate a directory of nonprofit
organizations in Kent County as well as a quarterly forum for interaction.

Connections is proposing to provide Rapid Re-Housing assistance for up to 10 homeless
households within the City of Dover annually, with the average amount of assistance per
household at $3,000. Priority populations are listed below:
Priority 1. Homeless Families
(a) The homeless family who is in the emergency shelter for less than 30 days
(b) The homeless family who has been living on the streets (cars, parking lots, places not
meant for human habitation) for less than 30 days
(c) The homeless family or individual who is in the emergency shelter for over 30 days
(d) The homeless family or individual who has been living on the streets (cars, parking lots,
places not meant for human habitation) for over 30 days
Priority 2. Homeless Individuals
(a) The homeless individual who is in the emergency shelter for less than 30 days
(b) The homeless individual who has been living on the streets (cars, parking lots, places
not meant for human habitation) for less than 30 days
(c) The homeless individual who is in the emergency shelter for over 30 days
(d) The homeless individual who has been living on the streets (cars, parking lots, places
not meant for human habitation) for over 30 days
Funds will be used to provide Rapid Rehousing/Rental Assistance services for households
whose most recent address is inside the City of Dover limits. Our program will assist
renters with first-month's security deposit as well as up to the three months' of rent.
Funding will also assist renters with utility deposits, as needed. Financial assistance/rental
Paj 25
assistance will be visited at monthly case management meetings, and officially re-evaluated
at the 90-day mark, at which point, rental assistance funding will be decreased, or
eliminated, based on continued eligibility and needs. We are leveraging Connections'
comprehensive case management program, contracts with Delaware Medicaid and the
Delaware Departments of Health and Social Services and Correction, and our extensive
network of partnering agencies and housing providers, to help households served through
ESG rapid re-housing to meet their economic self-sufficiency goals, their goals for housing,
stable employment, and abstinence from substance abuse. By working to meet all of these
goals together, we also hope to prevent recidivism among men and women who have been
incarcerated. We are particularly concerned about households which are headed by
justice-involved women with substance use conditions. These families rarely are able to
stay together. By addressing all of their needs, including the need for stable housing, it is
our intention to provide these families with new opportunities to live sober, productive
lives.
B. Each program activity must be fully described. For rehabilitation
programs, this description must include the number of units to be
rehabilitated, rental properties to be rehabilitated, any special
population groups the rehabilitation program will address, the
target area, and the need for the rehabilitation activity.
Funds will be used to provide Rapid Rehousing/Rental Assistance services for households

network of partnering agencies and housing providers, to belp households served through
ESG rapid re-housing to meet their economic self-sufficiency goals, their goals for housing,
stable employment, and abstinence from substance abuse. By working to meet all of these
goals together, we also hope to prevent recidivism among men and women who have been

lives.
C. Provide a timetable showing monthly milestones for completion of
each activity.
We are currently providing this service and will continue to provide Rapid Re-housing
financial assistance to qualifying households until the funds are depleted.
Paj 26
D. Attach drawings, plans or other documentation necessary to
describe program activities.
Not Applicable.
E. Describe each activity's conformance with the goals and objectives
of the City's Consolidated Plan.
Dover's most recently published Consolidated Plan states: 'The pl'imary objective of the
community development program within the City of Dover is to develop viable urban
communities including decent housing and a suitable living environment, and to expand
economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate income persons.' As it related to
homeless households, the Plan expresses the need for affordable housing for low and
moderate income households, including those who have experienced homelessness.
Homelessness among families with children bas been on the rise in Delaware. In fact,
during a recent count of homeless people in Delaware on one night in January, 2013, 694
homeless households with 946 members were counted in shelters and on the streets of
Delaware. Of the households counted, 17% were families with children. Of the
INDIVIDUALS counted, 25% were children under the age of 18. We will focus on this
population in the provision of rapid re-housing services.
According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness 'Years of research and experience
in working to end homelessness bas proven that rapid re-housing and prevention arc key
strategies.' Rapid re-housing is also an emphasis of the Homeless Emergency Assistance
and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act The research that led to this emphasis
on ending homelessness as rapidly as possible clearly demonstrates that homeless
households who receive immediate assistance to obtain permanent housing are much more
likely to avoid future homelessness than are those who receive emergency and/or
transitional housing over a long period of time. These findingsnpoint to rapid re-housing
as the most effective means of ending homelessness permanently. We intend to serve
households with incomes below 30% of the area median for the City of Dover, thus helping
the city to reduce homelessness and increase capacity in its emergency shelters.
F. Describe the extent to which the proposed proj ect(s) will address
one or more significant priorities identified by the City's
Consolidated Plan.
Rapid re-housing is a strategy that has been successfully used by many communities to
reduce homelessness. It is based on the idea that most households become homeless as a
result of a financial crisis that prevents them from paying the rent, or a domestic conflict
that results in one member being ejected or leaving with no resources or plan fot· housing.
Most households who become homeless have already lived in independent permanent
housing, and they can generally return and remain stably housed with limited assistance.
Negative outcomes associated with homelessness can be minimized by limiting the period of
time people experience it. By helping homeless households return to permanent housing as
Paj 27
soon as possible, communities have been able to reduce the length of time people remain in
homeless shelters. This opens beds for others who need them, and reduces the public and
personal costs of homelessness. Expanding the availability of shelter beds and increasing
affordable housing options for low income households are priorities identified in the City's
Consolidated Plan which will be addressed by this proposal.
G. Describe the extent to which the proj ect builds upon previous work
or supplements other work that will be funded from other sources.
In 2011, the Delaware Interagency Council on Homelessness (DICH) updated the original
Plan to End Chronic Homelessness, published in 2007, to reflect the needs of all homeless
populations in Delaware (not only those who were chronically homeless), but also to reflect
the changes in the Federal laws, especially the HEARTH Act. HEARTH clearly
emphasizes ' housing first' and rapid re-housing as the preferred strategies for ending
homelessness. Providing rapid re-housing in scattered site rentals in residential
communities is a better solution than housing individuals and families in shorter-term
congregate situations. The new plan emphasizes re-entering offenders and justice-involved
individuals as a priority population. In addition to this population, our proposed program
focuses on the priority populations which the City has identified.
In this application, one of our focus areas is homeless households in which the head of the
household has involvement with the Delaware justice system. Individuals leaving the
correctional system frequently lack a place to go when they return to their communities.
Delaware has one of the highest rates of incarceration in the United States, and the number
one cause is drug-related crime. Substance abuse, incarceration, and related inability to
find a stable job, all contribute to homelessness.
The project will target homeless households with qualifying incomes, including those io
which the head of the household is involved in the justice system. Housing stability is a key
factor in successful reintegration, reduced recidivism, and increased community safety
among people who have been incarcerated. A snapshot of re-offenders in Washington State
over a three month period in 2009, showed that 34% of offenders who re-offended did not
have stable housing. It also shows that of offenders on community supervision (parole) who
re-offended, 49%, nearly half, did not have stable housing. Ex-offenders who are placed in
permanent supportive housing instead of being released without adequate housing are
easier to monitor, and are guaranteed to receive the services, education and access to
employment they need to achieve self-sufficiency. We will work with those who are leaving
DOC facilities to secure emergency shelter and then rapid re-housing for those who qualify.
Connections will use ESG funds to provide rapid rehousing services for pl'iority
households, efficiently and effectively moving them into permanent, affordable,
appropriate housing while providing them with comprehensive case management and
supportive services to help resolve the barriers to financial independence. Connections is
able to reduce the length of time that persons are homeless because of our already-existing
infrastructure and experience in rapid rehousing programs, and our network of
healthcare, employment and housing services. Connections will be able to use existing
Paj 28
relationships with landlords and apartment complex managers to quickly place individuals
and families, and since there will be no learning curve, placements can begin immediately
after funding award. We currently have households who are waiting for assistance, and
awarding this grant to us will help to maintain continuity and prevent duplication of effort.
Our performance measures will include placement of homeless individuals and families
within 45 days of first contact; 80% of whom will remain stably housed for at least one
year.
Rapid rehousing will also increase the number of ind iv id uals in the City of Dover to be
permanently housed (thereby decreasing the number of homeless households by at least the
number served and probably more, as shelter beds and other resources will be freed up by
rapidly re-housing the target households). Equally important, households will increase
their ability to maintain their housing through substance abuse treatment, employment
support, case management and other suppoaiive services, thereby reducing the rates of
homelessness recidivism. By aiming rapid re-housing funds at homeless households which
have employment and other income, we will be more likely to sec sustained results than we
would for chronically homeless households with no source of income. For those
individuals, we will use our other resources, saving the rapid re-housing resources for
households whose profiles suggest the likelihood of long term success and maintenance of
permanent housing with only short- to moderate-ter m assistance.
We will work with the Homeless Planning Council of Delaware to increase the number of
people to be assisted by accepting all households referred by Centralized Intake in the most
appropriate program or service. We are also working with the Delaware Department of
Correction and the Hope Commission to link homeless households to permanent housing
and employment, using ESG and other resources. Once the household finds permanent
housing, we continue to provide services to them at home and in the community to make
sure that they do not become homeless again.
H. Describe source and amount of any funds used to leverage the
City ' s pmiion of the project. Indicate when these funds will be
available. Attach documentation of any match.
DHSS Comprehens ive Outpatient BehavioraJ Health services contract ( $400,000)

5. Each application should a lso describe the following:
A. Describe any efforts to coordinate with businesses regarding the development of
the community as it affects low/moderate-income residents of the area.
We will work with landlords in Dover to find suitable housing for homeless households

No. DOCl 426-Hea lth are set forth in the aforementio"ned Request for. Proposal.
2. D~;fiIJ.itions.
2.1 "Unfilled/uncovered hours" shall be defined as those hours
which CCSP f!'liled to cover with an appropriately licensed and
· credentialed employe~ or contractor due to voluntary or involuntary
temtlnat ion or any other reason or incident resulting in the position being
unfilled and not covered. The term "unfilled/uncovered hours" does not
include those. hours not covered due to training, orientation.and paid time
off (PTO), such as for illness, annual or personal leave or any other paid
leave provided pursuant to the approved em'ploym.ent policies of CCSP.
Notwith standing the language of this paragraph, a position shall be
deemed uncovered if a pe1manent employee of CCSP fails to cover the
position for a period of greater than 90 consecutive days.
Paj 37
2.2 A full time ~quivalent (FTE) will be defined as 2,080 hours
annually, inclusive of PTO.
2.3 For purposes of calculating monthly contractual hours
required, the calculation will utilize eight hours per work day, multiplied.
by the number of business days in the month, inclusive of holidays, so 1hat
the combination of any calendar year will reflect 2,080 hours (except for
leap years which will calC1.µate as 2,088 hours).
3. Written Report Required. CCSP will provide ;i certified monthly
written report of the work hours paid eacn month indexed by amount of hourly
rate, position, and facility. The report required herein will compare the work
hours paid each month to the requirements of pages 124-132 of CCSP's Proposal.
The average hourly rate for any uncovered/unfilled hotJrs in excess of the
requirements of pages 124-132 of CCSP's Proposal will be specified in each
report. required herein. Th~ ~onthly calculation. w_ill be completed fC?r the
previous service rndnth and aggregated for the entire contract year. These figure.s
shall be reported in each report as the "cumulative monthly staffing level credit''
and the "cumulative yearly staffing level credit." CCSP will credit the DOC on a
montµly basis for the amoun~ o~ each cµ_mulative m9nt~ly staffing level cre~it~ net
of previous credits and billings issued. At no time will the DOC be charged with
a total net overage for hours provided - any cumulative staff hours provided
beyond the staffing levels required by this Contract will be at the expense of the
Contractor. Overages in any given month may not be combined or calculated in a
manner which offsets uncovered/wrfilled hours. If, however, the DOC requests

mission statement and purpose of your organization.
A. Each program activity must be addressed separately. Program
activities must be listed in order of priority with the program
activity of highest priority first. This order of priority for program
activities must be followed on all forms contained in this
application.
• The highest priority for this project is ro provide rehabilitation activities
tmd specifically, emergency-related home repairs ofsingle-family
residential for owner-occupied housing units found io he in violation of
the City ofDover 's Housing Code. This is the highest priority activity jot
this application.

single-family residential for owner-occupancy'. This activity is f ully
described as home repairs that eliminate housing conditions which
threacen the health and/or safety ofqualified City ofDover homeowners.
The objective is to reduce the number of City o,/Dover households living
in substandard and/or dangerous housing conditions. The goal of the
Paj 53
activity is to preserve the City's existing housing stock. us detailed in
Dover's Consolidated Annual Action Plan (FY2015-2019).
• The total number ofunits lo be rehabilitated/repaired is 8 to 70, per year
ofgrant funding period.
• Households must be very-low to low-income as defined by the U.S.
Department ofHousing and Urban Development (HUD). Households
served must be 50 percent and belo•v Area Median Income (AMJ) as
defined by HUD.
• Housing type is homeownership units. Clients must provide proof that
they own the home in order to qualify for repairs.
• Target area is defined as the geographic city limits for the City ojDover.
The project is city-wide and will focus on preserving the e-Xisting housing
stock in the City.
• Repairs craditiona!Ly average $2,500 per home. with low points around
$500 and higher points costing roughly $7,500 for more substantial
repairs such as roof repairs or hot water heaters.
• The need.for home repairs is based on: !) Overwhelming demand.for
such sen1ices as received daily f/'om the City of Dover by residents; 2)
Rising numbers o.fcost-burdened households. as it relates to housing
costs; and 3) Rising number ofelderly residents and persons with
disabilities facing diverse and critical housing needs. Sources include:

• As Delmvare 's housing stock has continued to age. along with an aging
population, home maintenance and repair is a growing concern. HRP is
the only program in Delaware that provides this service at no cost to the
individual. Furthe1·. it is one of the few programs in Delaware that also
works on mobile homes. Mobile homes are technicaf~y class~fied as a motor
vehicle, but represent nearly 10 percent of all housing units in Delaware
(DSHA, 2015). In 25 years. nearly 5.000.families in Delaware have been
helped through J-IRP with volunteers donating over 200, 000 hours of labor
to the cause.

• Jn FY14. MHDC was awarded CDBGfimdsfor 'Housing R ehabilitation ·
This was a new program activity.for MHDC. During our initial
monitoring visit by the City of Dover. there were some initial concerns.
MHDC was asked to provide the City ojDover with a remediation plan to
get the program hack on target. This was provided and s itbsequently, all
matters resolved.
• 'Housing Rehabilita1;on ' is commonly known as the most complicated activity to
undergo in the CDBG program. due to vigorous program requirements. It took
MHDC staffsome time to learn all aspects of the program. However. we have
since developed a CDBG Housing Rehab Manual, used for internal purposes, in
addition to ensuring our stcfff have received the training resources they need.
Based on our experience and subsequent growth. we are norv completely
COl~fident. in our ability to effectively and efficiently administer this program. as

Summary: For 20 years I have been in the construction industry working yet have
an assortment of skills including customer service, computer skills, mechanical
and utilities experience. By far my best asset is that l am dependable, I give 110%
every day on the job and I have a family that I take pride in taking care of and will
do whatever it takes to provide a good living for them. I can most certainly
supervise job sites but I generally jump in whenever needed. I have been self
employed for a total of 15 years and have supervised, trained, and lead job sites
and staff with the utmost skill, patience, organization and most importantly,
attention to detail. The most disappointing thing is not being able to find good
help; I am the person for this job!

2. Management Capacity
CDHFH was founded in 1990 as the Kent County affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International.
Over the past 26 years, CDHFH has built and/or renovated 46 homes, providing much needed
housing solutions for 207 adults and children. CDHFH continues to maintain a 0% foreclosure
rate proving that our program is a long term affordable housing solution.
CDHFH not only builds new homes, but has renovated 10 homes out of the 46 sold by Habitat.
These homes have either been acquired by Habitat through the Neighborhood Stabilization
Program (NSP) by partnering with City of Dover, Kent County Levy Court and Diamond State
Community Land Trust or donated by banks as they were foreclosures. CDHFH has also
successfully managed projects through the Housing Development Fund (HDF), Downtown
Development District (DDD) and Strong Neighborhoods Housing Fund (SNHF) through the
Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) and CDBG through the City of Dover.
CDHFH is the developer, lender, property owner and service provider for this project. Those
that make our development team for administering the CDBG project are:
• Jon Gallo, Executive Director - Mr. Gallo recently joined CDHFH as the new Executive
Director. Mr. Gallo joined us from Beracah Homes where he served at the Chief
Financial Officer for the past 8 years. His expertise in construction and finances will help
identify areas where CDHFH can save costs for this project and others as well as provide
valuable insight into the scale of the renovation. Since serving in this capacity, Mr. Gallo
has already sold three homes to Habitat homebuyers and acquired over l 0 properties for
future development. See attached resume.
• Harvey Carrow, Construction Supervisor - Mr. Carrow recently joined CDHFH as the
first full-time construction supervisor. Mr. Carrow has been working in the construction
industry for over 20 years. He owned his own company that specialized in framing;
however, has done numerous remodels and additions over the years. Mr. Carrow's
expertise will help us streamline the renovation project by monitoring the daily progress,
assist and train volunteers, solicit bids, coordinate subcontractors and maintain the budget
for the project. See attached resume.
• Jocelyn Tice, Grant Administrator - Ms. Tice was the previous Executive Director for the
past six years and during that time Ms. Tice has increased the capacity of the organization
from serving an average of one family per year to eight for 2015. Ms. Tice has also
successfully secured and administered $256,500 from DSHA' s HDF program by
providing funding for seventeen homes, $700,000 from Federal Home Loan Bank of
Pittsburgh by providing for eleven homes, $678, 175 from Strong Neighborhoods
Housing Fund by providing housing for at least eleven homes, $72,000 from City of
Dover's CDBG for one renovation project, $ 112,000 of Neighborhood Stabilization
Program funds for renovations on five projects. Ms. Tice now ensures that all grant
requirements are met in order to be in compliance with the funder. See attached resume.

Mission Statement
Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity's mission is seeking to put God's love into action by
bringing people together to build affordable homes, communities, and hope. We do this by
partnering with the Kent County community to provide resources, financial support and
volunteer time.
Purpose of Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity
The purpose of Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity (CDHFH) is to build or renovate simple,
decent affordable homes in Kent County by partnering with low-income people (60% or below
median income). CDHFH also strives to empower and educate each homeowner to be successful
in maintaining their property as well as managing finances for their new home. CDHFH is a
unique affordable housing organization for the following reasons:
• Habitat assists those that are not able to obtain a conventional financing.
• Habitat offers a 30 year, 0% interest mortgage.
• Each adult in the home will have to complete 250 hours of sweat equity.
• Each home is built by volunteers from the local community with the exception of a few
subcontractors for various aspects of construction.
• Habitat has a first and second mortgage. The second mortgage is referred to as "Silent
Second" because it amortizes at the same rate as the first mortgage, but there are no
payments made on it. The second mortgage is the difference between the appraised value
and the actual cost of the home. In the event the homeowner sells the home prior to 30
years, the first and second mortgage will need to paid in full. This ensures that the new
owners do not gain instant equity in the event they choose to sell after they move into
their home, as well as keeping the home affordable for life.
• CDHFH has maintained a 0% foreclosure rate through 2015.
• CDHFH is the only affordable housing organization in Kent County offering a 0%
interest mortgage.
A. Program Activity Priority
The program activities for FY2016 are:
• Expanding Home Ownership
• Rehabilitating Substandard Housing
These activities will be achieved by renovating a vacate single family home that will then be sold
to a low-income person who will achieve homeownership.
This program addresses the following two national objectives:
• To give maximum feasibility priority to activities which will benefit low and moderate
income families
• To aid in the prevention of slums and/or blight

B. Program Activity Description
For Fiscal Year 2016, CDHFH will rehabilitate 1 home within the Central Dover Housing
Initiative which is a target area under the Strong Neighborhood Housing Fund (SNHF) through
Delaware State Housing Authority and is a smaller area within the Downtown Development
District (DOD) and Restoring Central Dover Plan. CDHFH has acquired 19 N. New Street with
funds from SNHF and will utilize CDBG and other funds for the renovation. This property is a
single family home that was converted into two apartments. CDHFH will convert it back to a
single family home that is owner-occupied. Based on the average household size of qualified
homebuyers in Habitat's program, the estimated number of people this project will serve is 5.
See Exhibit 1 for a map of the location. CDHFH also owns four other parcels on the same block,
so this renovation along with the new construction of four other homes will transform this block.
See Section D for a description of the renovation and a majority of the work will be completed
by volunteers coordinated through CDHFH. Once the home has been completed, CDHFH will
sell the home to a low-income person with a 0% interest, 30 year mortgage.
Homeowners for the program are selected on the following criteria:
• Live or work in the Kent County for the past year
• Demonstrate the ability to pay a mortgage
• Demonstrate a need for housing
• Demonstrate a willingness to partner with Habitat
• Household income must be at or below 60% area median income
CDHFH is not specifically targeting a special population; however, CDHFH will qualify the
homebuyer prior to renovations, so the home does have the ability to be altered to accommodate
any special needs if necessary.
In Kent County, many are paying more than they can afford for housing, not leaving enough for
such necessities as good nutrition, health care, education, or saving for the future. Through
CDHFH's homeownership model, Habitat is able to offer homeownership opportunities to those
who are unable to get a conventional loans and sell the completed homes at below market rate.
The following statistics support the need and demand for homeownership program in Kent
County and, more specifically, in the City of Dover.
According to the Delaware Housing Needs Assessment 20 I 5-2020 the availability for affordable
housing is limited. Jn 2013, National Association of Home Builders conducted a survey that the
average price for a new home is $157/sq ft which is equivalent to a home price of $188,000 and a
salary of $40,000 to qualify for a mortgage. Jn Delaware, approximately 30% of households
earn less than this. One in five Delaware households cannot afford to rent a moderately priced
one bedroom apartment. Affordable rent for someone in Kent County at 50% AMI is $566 and
at 80% is $906 which is below the current fair market rent for a two bedroom which is $984. To
afford the fair market rent an individual earning minimum wage would have to work 98 hours
per week to afford that apartment. The housing wage in Kent County (the wage needed to afford
a fair market value two bedroom unit) is $18.92. The median wages in Kent County for a
construction laborer is $17.28, teller $12.41, and pharmacy technician $12.80. CDHFH's current
3
Paj 80

FY2016 CDBG Grant Application Fonn February 5, 2016
average mortgage is $534. In Kent County, approximately 50% of households earning between
50-80% AMI are cost burdened and 3 in 4 renters earning between 30-50% AMI are cost
burdened.
The projected demand for homeownership during 2015 - 2020 based on income in Kent County
is 495 homes for 50% or below AMI, 520 homes for 50-80% AMT and 1,250for 80-120% AMI
and 1,065 homes for greater than 120% AMI. The demand for homeownership units based on
the number of bedrooms in Kent County is 607 for one bedroom, 1,427 for two bedroom and
1,292 for three plus bedrooms. Market Value Analysis (MV A) was conducted as part of the
assessment. Census tracts throughout the state we categorized into Markets A - H ranging from
strongest and most stable to distressed . The primary census tract for this project is 433 which
was classified in Market G, distressed. Statewide, Market G, has the lowest home sale prices and
owner occupancy rates are the lowest in the state and highest rates of HUD-based assisted rental
housing. Delaware State Housing Authority has identified Markets G & H as priority project
areas for their programs.
NCALL spearheaded and recently released the ReStoring Central Dover plan and the process
was designed to be both data-driven and people driven. During the community outreach and
engagement there were focus groups, door to door survey, interactive open house and a public
meeting. There was also a lot of research conducted to obtain current market conditions and
existing housing stock. Here is an outline of the existing conditions of the current market from
Restoring Central Dover that support the need for increase homeownership and improved
housing stock:
• 75% of the plan area is renter occupied as compared to 48% throughout the City of
Dover, which is why homeownership is key to stabilizing the community.
• The population growth in the plan area is much less relative to the rates in other areas of
the City and County which is why it is important to retain existing residents as well as
attract new neighbors to stabilize deteriorated blocks.
• 13 % of the parcel area in the plan area is vacant land and buildings. The clusters of
vacancy are opportunities for infill development.
• The existing building conditions as they were observed from the street show that 17% are
in excellent condition, 43% are in good condition, 37% are in fair condition, and 3% are
in poor condition.
• Loockerrnan Street as a commercial corridor offers an opportunity to bring more
commercial services within walking distance to Central Dover residential neighborhoods;
however, the challenge to overcome in revitalizing the corridor include perception of
safety, high vacancy and tenant turnover rates and a lack of readily leasable spaces due to
deferred maintenance and lack of resources for property owners to rehabilitate.
Capitalizing on housing development opportunities on or within walking distance of
Loockerrnan would help change the perception of this struggling commercial corridor as
well as bring a denser customer base to support the commercial revitalization.
• The area's weighted average median income, $34,730, is 27% lower than the City of
Dover's $47,754.
• 53% of the families in Central Dover are headed by a single female householder
compared to one in three families with single family householders city-wide.
4
Paj 81
City of Dover Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity, Inc.
FY2016 CDBG Grant Application Form February 5, 2016
• 8 J % or more of renters are paying more than 30% of their income towards gross rent.
The preservation of and increased access to affordable housing will be key to providing
more housing opportunities to Central Dover residents.
• When residents and businesses were asked what they liked least about Central Dover,
42% identified safety in the community. This was the least liked response by a margin of
12%.
• Dover Police Department shows that the number of violent crimes per 1,000 person in the
Central Dover area rose from 6.16 per person in 2011 to 22.76 per person in 2013 which
clearly demonstrates the need for resources to ensure the safety of the Central Dover
community.
As CDHFH expands home ownership by rehabilitating property throughout downtown, the
benefits of home ownership to low-income families are:
• Stability and security
• Safe neighborhood for children to play
• Children do better in school
• Health improves throughout the entire family, especially children
• Develops a sense of pride
• Develops a sense of community
• Builds self-esteem
CDHFH's program goals and objectives are:
Goal: Transform lives of a low income homebuyer by providing homeownership
opportunities that would otherwise not be possible.
Objective: To increase the number of affordable housing units within the City
of Dover available to low income families.
To decrease the number of low income families living in
substandard housing.
Goal: Equip a low-income homebuyer with the tools necessary to be successful
homeowners.
Objective: To increase the knowledge of low income homebuyers about
homeownership, financial management, and home maintenance.
To track the number of hours completed by each adult for their
sweat equity requirement.
Goal: Develop community partners and engage the local community in volunteer
opportunities.

Objective: To increase awareness about the need for affordable housing
throughout the City of Dover and Kent County.
To increase community collaborations through this project that will
further benefit low to moderate income homebuyers.
Some outcomes of CDHFH's homeownership program is summarized below based on a survey
CDHFH completed with NeighborWorks through Success Measures. The surveys were given to
all Habitat homeowners who have lived in their home more than six months.
• 95% of homeowners have seen positive changes in their life since their partnership began
with CDHFH.
• 90% of homeowners felt that the sweat equity they contributed to their home helped
prepare them for home maintenance.
• 76% of homeowners stated that if given the choice, they would continue to live in their
neighborhood.
• 86% have continued to monitor their credit.
• 67% of homeowners said that the financial literacy classes provided by Habitat helped
manage their finances.
• 50% said that now that they have their own home their children study more.
This is the long term impact affordable home ownership has had on low-income people through
CDHFH 's program.

Here is the budget for the rehabilitation of 19 N. New Street in FYI 6:
Br1g!htedH ome A cqms1tion & Rh 11 a fion
e a bTt
Horne Price $ 48,636.00
Soft Costs/Site Development $ 15,059.00
Environmental Remediation $ 8,000.00
Renovation Costs $ 67,725.00
Overhead $ 12,576.00

Administrative Fees/Closing $ 11,200.00
Developer Fee (10%) $ 15,199.00
' '
Total Development Costs $ 178,395.00
The costs above are total development costs which exceeds the appraisal price, so the home will
be sold to the homebuyer for the appraisal price or if the appraisal price is more than 30% of
their income, then the home will be sold at an affordable rate so the hornebuyer is not cost
burdened.
Here is a basic scope of work to be completed:
• Replace roof
• Replace siding
• Repair front porch
• Replace windows and exterior doors
• Asbestos and mold remediation
• Gut entire interior to the studs
• Remodel the interior back into a single family home
• Install new floor coverings, cabinets, counters, interior trim, etc
• Check and replace all mechanicals as needed.
A more detailed scope of work will be created by June 2016. Any work that requires a
subcontractor, bids will be solicited otherwise the work will be completed by volunteers. The
house is currently set up for two apartments, so CDHFH will be converting it back into one
single family home.
See Exhibit 2 for photos of the property.
E. Goals & Objectives of the City's Consolidated Plan
The goals and objectives that CDHFH's project confonns to are:
a. Preserve the existing housing stock in the City of Dover.
7
Paj 84
City of Dover Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity, Inc.
FY2016 CDBG Grant Application Form February 5, 2016
1. CDHFH has acquired an existing property to renovate which would be
preserving and improving existing housing stock then sold to a low-
income home owner.
b . Encourage owner occupied housing in low to moderate income areas.
1. CDHFH has built 22 homes within the City of Dover and of those 22
homes, 4 are paid off and the remaining continue to be occupied by
low-income (60% or below median income) families. CDHFH has not
had to foreclose on a homeowner, which speaks for a successful
program.
11. CDHFH sold six homes to low-income home owners during calendar
year 2015. Of those six, four were new construction and two
renovations.
m. CDHFH is also collaborating with NCALL, MHDC under the SNHF
program to create affordable home ownership opportunities to eleven
homebuyers in the Central Dover Housing Initiative target area by
March 2017.
c. Provide safe and livable neighborhoods
t. One of the goals of CDHFH's SNHF application is to reduce crime which
is also a goal of the Restoring Central Dover plan. Here are the four goals
targeted in the plan that would help reduce crime in this area:
1. Establish collaborate/community policing - This include forming
citizen oversight committee on community policing and creating a
neighborhood watch network. When residents participated in the
community resident survey, 60% said they were interested in a
neighborhood watch program and 42% said they would volunteer.
2. Deploy police foot and bike patrols - Dover Police Department has
a new foot patrol unit downtown along with the cadet program.
3. Expand surveillance camera network- Additional street cameras
have been installed in the last six months with funding available
for more. The police department has also received access to the
cameras in Simon Circle.
4. Improve lighting in targeted areas - Public safety can be greatly
improved by the installation of better lighting in areas known for
high criminal activity. The City of Dover has begun talking about
installing lamp posts street lights on South Kirkwood.
5. Block transformation - This project is one of five properties
CDHFH will be improving on this block. With these
improvements this should improve the livability and safety of the
block.
8
Paj 85
City of Dover Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity, Inc.
FY2016 CDBG Grant Application Form February 5, 2016
CDHFH meets with the Dover Police Department quarterly to stay up to date on initiatives by
the police department, discusses way to partner together and informs the police department about
current housing projects.
F. Priorities within the City's Consolidated Plan
CDHFH's project is addressing three of the six priorities, homeless needs, housing needs and
economic development needs. CDHFH's project addresses homeless by providing a safe, decent
affordable home to a person that currently does not own a home and may be renting, living in
transitional housing, or living with a friend. Those people are homeless and will have a place to
call home once this project is completed.
CDHFH is addressing the housing needs as it is creating and increasing a homeownership
opportunity within the City of Dover through this project. Throughout the process, CDHFH is
also educating and empowering the homebuyer to maintain their property and to become active
members in their community. CDHFH requires each homeowner contribute 250 hours of sweat
equity which include 100 hours for construction, 50 hours for financial literacy and other events
and I 00 may be donated by family and friends.
CDHFH also addresses the priority of economic development. In 2015, CDHFH homes
contributed over $12,000 in City of Dover and Kent County taxes. This will only increase based
on the number of homes CDHFH sell to low-income people. Also by targeting this project in the
downtown area, the home owner will have access to various amenities such as public
transportation, public services and shopping which will create an economic impact.
G. Project Expansion
In the downtown area there are three initiatives that this project supports, Restoring Central
Dover, Strong Neighborhoods Housing Fund (SNHF) and Downtown Development District
(DDD). All of these initiatives strive to increase homeownership, decrease crime and eliminate
blight. For the past year, CDHFH has been working on South Kirkwood Street by creating five
new single family homes allowing for a transformation of that block as well as acquire numerous
properties in an effort to expand the impact, so the next block is North New Street. This project
is one of five properties that have been awarded a large project rebate from the DDD and with
the assistance of SNHF, CDHFH not only acquired the property for this project but four others
on the same block on North New Street. By acquiring properties in a concentrated area, there
will be a greater impact and CDHFH, along with their partners, will be able to extended into
other blocks to create change block by block.
CDHFH's history supports this concept of neighborhood revitalization. From 2009-2014,
CDHFH focused in the Town of Frederica and completed twelve new construction homes which
made a significant impact economically on the town as well as improving the housing stock.
CDHFH has also been able to participate in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program which has
provided experience for rehabilitating vacant property, and CDHFH has been the recipient of
multiple properties from banks donating foreclosures to prevent future blight in the
neighborhood .

H. Funding Sources
Here is a list of the funding sources for this project:
• Strong Neighborhood Housing Fund - $48,636 (committed)
• Longwood Foundation - $15,000 (committed)
• Downtown Development District Rebate - $17 ,033 (committed)
• CDBG - $40,000
• CDHFH Fundraising - $57,887 - This includes cash CDHFH raises for various projects
through fundraisers and donations. CDHFH will also be targeting in-kind resources
where CDHFH estimates at least $4,700 from various businesses (Whirlpool, PPG,
Schneider Electric, etc) that have supported CDHFH for years, grants and other
donations.
Total Sources: $178,395
5. Business I Community Collaboration
CDHFH does not only benefit low-income people but also the business community and the
community at large. Volunteers (community members, churches, businesses, civic
organizations) are the lifeblood of Habitat. The program creates an opportunity to bring people
together that would not ordinarily connect, but are able to build a house together. The
community works side by side with the future homeowner as they earn their sweat equity hours.
As volunteers are involved from the planning stage through construction, it is an opportunity to
build awareness about affordable housing and the issues that revolve around it. In 2015,
CDHFH had over 650 volunteers in all aspects of the organization.
Other key collaborators are:
• NCALL - NCALL provides all the financial literacy training to Habitat homeowners
which include one-on-one counseling, credit repair, and an all-day homeownership
workshop. One of their staff members serves on our board of directors as well another
staff member serves on our family selection committee. NCALL is also a partner in the
SNHF project.
• City of Dover - The City is a key partner in the SNHF project and will continue as
CDHFH develops in within the City.
• MHDC - MHDC is another key partner in the SNHF project and will develop homes in
the Central Dover Housing Initiative area targeting those with a higher income.
• Restoring Central Dover Steering Committee - The steering committee is comprised of
other 30 individuals representing business, churches, non-profits, government and other
organizations with the goal ofrevitalizing the plan's area. CDHFH is on the committee
and considers each and every person a collaborator since this project lies within the plan
area.

PARKS, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE
Council Committee of the Whole Meeting of March 15, 2016
Planning Commission Meeting of March 21, 2016
Plan Title: The Arbors Senior Garden Apartments (S-16-07)
Plan Type: Site Plan: Active Recreation Area Plan
Location: North side of College Road west of intersection with McKee Road
Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-067.00-01-35.03-000
Owner: Shree Ganesh, LLC
Site Area: 3.77 Acres +/-
Proposed Use: Residential Development – Garden Apartment Building (Total 48 units)
Zoning: RG-2 (General Residence Zone)
Project Summary
The Arbors Senior Garden Apartments is being reviewed as a Site Development Plan. The
subject property consists of one parcel of land totaling 3.77 acres +/-1. The Site Plan is to permit
the construction of a garden apartment building with a total of 48 dwelling units.
This property has been the subject of several previous applications. The most recent application
for development was C-10-02 which proposed The Arbors Condominiums as apartment building
of 48 units; the plan expired. In 2009, this parcel was subject to a rezoning (Z-09-05), changing
the zoning of the property to RG-2 (General Residence Zone) from R-8 (One Family Residence
Zone). Other applications included C-05-01 and C-07-05 which each proposed a Planned
Neighborhood Design: Senior Citizen Housing Option project but those plans also expired.
Active Recreation Area Requirements:
As part of the Site Plan review process for this project, the applicant prepared a Conceptual
Recreation Plan which illustrates how The Arbors Senior Garden Apartments development will
provide recreation amenities in accordance with the design specifications described in Article 5,
Section 10 of the Zoning Ordinance. Due to the property size and unit density, this project
qualifies for the active recreation area exemption for small developments under Zoning
Ordinance, Article 5 §10.514.
The property previously consisted of 4.32 acres +/-; however, 0.55 acres +/- was reserved to establish
the right-of-way for the new public street to be known as Senior Way. The street right-of-way (46 ft.
width) was recorded June 2009 dividing the subject parcel into two areas.

S-16-07 The Arbors Senior Garden Apartments: Active Recreation Area Plan
Summary Report of Active Recreation Component
Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee Meeting on March 15, 2016
Page 2 of 4
Article 10 §10.514 Residential developments of ten (10) or fewer acres with a density over six
units per acre. These developments shall be exempt from the area requirements set forth in
section 10.16, but shall be required to provide 150 square feet of active recreation area per
dwelling unit or 10,000 square feet of active recreation area, whichever is greater. If the
commission determines that the construction of some or all of the required active recreation area
is not practical or desirable, the commission shall require a cash in lieu donation for the active
recreation area determined as not practical or desirable. Cash-in-lieu amount shall be in
accordance with subsection 10.173 of this article.
This Active Recreation Area Plan must be reviewed by the Parks, Recreation, and Community
Enhancement Committee for a recommendation prior to consideration of the Site Plan by
Planning Commission.
Active Recreation Area Plan Summary:
The Active Recreation Area proposal for The Arbors Senior Garden Apartment project is
depicted in the plan submission of Sheet REC-1 Active Recreation Plan. The Active Recreation
Area for this project is required at a rate of 150 square feet per dwelling unit or 10,000 SF
whichever is greater. Based on a total of 48 dwelling units, the calculation would only tally to
7,200 SF thus the active recreation area requirement is 10,000 S.F.
The Plan indicates that 0.5 acres (21,780 S.F.) of land would be reserved as Active Recreation
Area. The Active Recreation Areas are located in two distinct areas within the site: the east area
consisting of 0.1 acres and the west area of 0.4 acres. The five (5) foot wide walking path
constructed of stone begins from the northeast corner of the parking lot and turns west to link to
the sidewalk along Senior Way. After crossing Senior Way, the walking path continues west
before turning south to link to the sidewalk at the intersection of Senior Way and College Road.
Along the path are benches and pathway lighting. The proposed amenities include a gazebo with
lawn area in the western recreation area. These open space areas include tree plantings.
The following table provides information from the submitted Plan (dated 2/23/2016) for the
Active Recreation Area to be constructed:
Required Provided on Plan
Active Recreation Area 150 S.F. per dwelling unit or Two walking path segments
(Article 5 §10.514) 10,000 SF whichever is Benches and pathway lighting
greater to be provided on site. Gazebo with lawn area
48 DU x 150 SF = 7,200 SF Total of 0.5 acres (21,780
thus 10,000 SF is required S.F.)
Provided: 21,780 SF
Active Recreation Amenities Accessible The recreation area is
(Article 5 §10.15) accessible via pedestrian
cross-walk at the northern
corner of the site.
Active Recreation Amenities Age Oriented to development The area could be considered
(Article 5 §10.15) to be an all age’s facility.

Summary Report of Active Recreation Component
Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee Meeting on March 15, 2016
Page 3 of 4
Active Recreation Amenities Parking The particulars of the
(Article 5 §10.15) proposed active recreation do
not have associated parking
needs. There are on-site
parking areas for the
apartment complex including
a bicycle rack.
Setbacks: 30 feet from The plan as proposed is in
residential lots and 25 feet compliance with the required
from right-of-way for street setbacks.
Landscaping The project shows trees and
landscaping around the site
and within the various
recreation areas.
Staff Recommendations:
The following are comments and recommendations from Staff of the Planning Office and the
Parks & Recreation Department following review of the Active Recreation Area to be
constructed for The Arbors Garden Apartments project.
1. The proposed plan meets the area requirements for the Active Recreation Area. The plan
is required to provide 10,000 S.F. of Active Recreation Area and it is proposing 0.5 acres
(21,780 S.F.) of Active Recreation Area.
2. Staff recommends approval of the proposed Active Recreation plan concept for a walking
path system with resting areas of benches and the gazebo. The combination of a walking
path linking to the adjacent street network sidewalks or shared use path and the
sitting/picnic facilities provide opportunities for senior adults and other age groups as
well. The specific areas around each of these amenities have been delineated on the plan
and can be accepted towards meeting the Active Recreation Area requirement.
3. Staff recommends the following conditions of approval regarding the Active Recreation
Area plan:
a. The walking path shall be constructed of concrete. This is a better walking surface
than a stone chip path. The concrete surface has a greater durability and ease of
long-term maintenance.
b. The approaches to the gazebo should be made handicapped accessible through
site grading measures, construction framing, etc.
c. Evaluate the appropriate type of traffic control measures (pedestrian crossing
signage, marked crosswalk, stop conditions, etc.) to assist in providing a location
for pedestrian crossing of Senior Way to access the western recreation area.
Contact the Public Works Office as Senior Way is to become a City street.

S-16-07 The Arbors Senior Garden Apartments: Active Recreation Area Plan
Summary Report of Active Recreation Component
Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee Meeting on March 15, 2016
Page 4 of 4
4. The following items should be included on the Plan to clarify the Recreation Area
improvements:
a. Update Active Recreation Area calculations based on the small development
exception.
b. Provide a summary list of the proposed features on the Active Recreation Plan
(i.e. the number of benches, pathway lights, etc.).
c. Identify location of bicycle rack avoiding conflicts with proposed landscaping.
5. The applicant is reminded of the requirements for construction phasing of the recreation
area as associated with the development of the residential units. With this apartment
building project, the permit can be issued for construction of the entire building but all
recreations areas will need to be completed prior to issuance of any Certificate of
Occupancy.
Article 5 §10.6 Construction Phasing. The recreation and open space areas shall be
completed in a proportion equal to or greater than the proportion of residential dwelling
units completed, except that one hundred (100) percent of the recreation and open space
areas shall be completed prior to issuing building permits for the final twenty (20) percent
of the dwelling units proposed. Building permits shall not be issued for dwelling units
unless the requirements of this section are met.
6. There shall be provisions which ensure that the common open space land (including
active recreation area) shall continue as such and be properly managed and maintained.
The developer shall either retain ownership and responsibility for maintenance of such
open land; or provide for and establish one (1) or more organizations for the ownership
and maintenance of all common open space i.e. a Homeowners Association or property
manager. The organization shall be responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes on
the common open space. Add note on the plan regarding this responsibility.
7. In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Site Plan occur in the finalization of
the Plan contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of building,
relocation of site components like stormwater management areas, increases in floor area
or unit count or design revision impact Active Recreation Areas. These changes may
require resubmission for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning
Commission, or other agencies and commissions making recommendations in regards to
the plan.
The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee shall submit to the Planning
Commission a report detailing the recommendations as to the Recreation Area Plan.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
SECTION 3. DEFERRED INCOME
The City shall make available through its membership in the International City Management Association
Retirement Corporation (ICMA) and Public Employees Benefit Services Corporation (PEBSCO) Nationwide
Retirement Solutions deferred compensation plans for regular employees whereby an individual can defer a
portion of his/her current salary for use at a predetermined retirement date. Employees enrolled in the
Deferred Compensation Pension Plan/401A Money Purchase Plan shall make contributions in accordance with
the Plan Document for each individual group of employees. The City shall make contributions based upon
Employee Labor Agreements when applicable the Plan Document for each individual group of employees. For
regular full-time non-bargaining employees the employee benefit shall be no less than the highest contribution
required by an employee labor agreement.
With the recent approval of the Dover Organization of Employee (DOE) labor agreement (July 1, 2015 – June
30, 2018) by the Dover City Council, the minimum matching contribution and the maximum matching
contribution from the Employee/City will be increasing in the above referenced plan.
The following chart indicates the current mandatory contribution and maximum matching contribution
percentages along with the negotiated and approved increases for DOE:

July 1, 2017 3% 6% 6% 9%
Based on the current Personnel Policy language, the minimum and maximum matching contribution for Non-
bargaining employees should be increased to reflect the approved DOE unit changes.
The changes and associated costs are as follows:
Non-Bargaining
Must Potential Over 9% Total
2016, Upon Additional 1% $974 $3,968 $1,608 $6,550
approval
July 1, 2016 Additional 2% $5,629 $22,924 $9,290 $37,843
(1+1)
July 1, 2017 Additional 3% $8,443 $34,386 $13,935 $56,764
(1+1+1)
Total $15,046 $61,278 $24,833 $101,157
Staff Recommendation:
1.) Adopt the revised matching contributions for non-bargaining employees.
2.) Change the reference of Public Employees Benefit Services Corporation (PEBSCO) to Nationwide
Retirement Solutions.
3.) Insert “Employees enrolled in the Deferred Compensation Pension Plan/401A Money Purchase Plan
shall make contributions in accordance with the Plan Document for each individual group of
employees”.
4.) Change the reference of “Employee Labor Agreements when applicable” to “the Plan Document for
each individual group of employees”.
5.) Accept insertion of “full-time” to correspond to the City Ordinance: Chapter 2 – Administration, Article
IV – Officers and Employees, Division 8 – Deferred Compensation Plan, Section 2-391 – Definitions.
