REQUEST FOR APPEAL
Dear Mr. Kopp,
Since my prior letter of December 1, 2020, I have been contacted by the City of Dover
solicitor Gary E. Junge, Esq. Although attempts were made to come to a resolution, yesterday
Mr. Junge gave me notice that the City is of the position that the issue of recreational vehicle
lot rentals is a non-conforming use. On behalf of my client, MHP Investments, LLC, we
respectfully request an appeal of Violation# 734.
I have cc'd Mr. Junge on this letter, and ask that we schedule a mutually agreeable time
to further contest the aforementioned violation.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of this matter.
Respectfully Yours,
/s/ Peter K. Schaeffer, Jr., Esq.

City of Dover Letter dated November 23, 2020
Dear Mr. Kopp,
The property owned by MHP Investments, LLC Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-086.00-01-
080.000-000, was purchased from prior owners in June, 2016. At the time of purchase, the
prior owner, Richard Thomas, had a manufactured home community in addition to twelve
recreational vehicle sites that were set up with electric and sewage specifically for recreational
vehicles ("RV's" ). It is our understanding that the prior owner began the lot in question as an
RV site, and only later obtained permission to operate in addition as a manufactured home
community. Therefore, the lots outfitted for RV's were improved specifically for such use, and
have been in existence for decades, used solely as RV sites.
I reviewed the City of Dover Code of Ordinances, Chapter 66, as well as 25 Del.C. § 7001
et seq. and do not see any prohibitions on use of lots for RV's on the cited property.
Furthermore, 25 Del.C. § 7004 specifically excludes RV's from any requirements imposed on
manufactured home communities and does not forbid RV rental lots in conjunction w ith
manufactured home lot rental.
MHP Investments, LLC respectfully contests any finding that RV's must conform to
manufactured home requirements as specified by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, and are therefore not subject to prohibitions applied to manufactured homes
under Title 25 of the Delaware Code or City of Dover Code of Ordinances specific to
manufactured home communities. The application of code sections, whether those of the City
Paj 15
of Dover or Title 25, do not apply to RV's, therefore the prohibition of long-standing RV lot
rentals from further use, as stated in Violation 734, is without basis in law.
We respectfully ask that you remove Violation 734. We do not contest Violation 255,
and MHP Investments, LLC is currently in progress of compliance with Dover Code of Ordinance
§ 66-4.
Please feel free to contact Avenue Law regarding any questions or concerns by the City
of Dover regarding Violation 734.
Respectfully Yours,

Re: Amendments to the Dover Code of Ordinances and the Dover Zoning Ordinance
Concerning Mobile Homes, Manufactured Homes, and Land Lease Communities
To whom it may concern,
On September 24, 2018, the Dover City Council adopted Ordinance #2018-01- Manufactured
Homes. This ordinance follows on previous updates made to the Dover Code of Ordinances
through Ordinance #2016-16, which was adopted on August 8, 2016. Together these two
ordinances update standards and terminology throughout the Dover Code related to
manufactured homes and mobile homes. They also enact standards for management and
maintenance of land lease communities, a type of community which includes manufactured
home parks.
As the owner of a land lease community/manufactured home park, you are encouraged to review
the two major sections of the Dover Code of Ordinances pertaining to manufactured homes and
land lease communities. These are the Dover Code of Ordinances, Chapter 66-Manufactured
Homes, Mobile Hom es, and Land Lease Communities, and the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3
Section 8- Manufactured Housing Zone. Both sections have been heavily restructured since
2016, so they are worth reading in their entirety to understand how manufactured homes and land
lease communities are now regulated in Dover. The sections are enclosed with this letter; they
may also be found together with the full Dover Code by going to www.cityofdover.com and
clicking on the "municipal code" link.
The Planning Office would in particular like to draw your attention to several updated standards
for the management and maintenance ofland lease communities, described below.
The following are the maintenance responsibilities of owners of land lease communities, unless
they are specifically delegated to a homeowner or other party*:
• Maintaining all private streets, access of driveways to these streets, access to fire hydrants,
and access to central mailboxes. Streets must be clear of obstructions, including potholes,
snow piles, and debris.
• Keeping all common areas in good repair and free of debris. Debris must especially be cleared if
they create a fire hazard or potential pest control problem.
• Keeping community landscape areas in good repair and free of overgrowth . Trees over 25 feet in
height must also be maintained by the owner. Note that this does not require removal of plant
debris produced naturally (i.e. fallen leaves) nor does it compel the owner to enter rented lots
without permission of the homeowner.

Notification of Ordinance #2018-01- Manufactured Homes
February 15 , 2019
Page 12
• Keeping all water, electrical, plumbing, gas, septic, sewer, and other utilities provided by the
owner to tenants in good working order. The owner must also maintain the community's
stormwater management facilities so that standing water does not accumulate outside of
designated retention basins or ponds. Flowing water or water that dissipates within 48 hours is
not considered standing water.
*Limitations on what responsibilities can be delegated apply. Please see Dover Code of Ordinances
Chapter 66 Section 66-4(a){S) .
The following additional requirements also apply:
• Each community must have an associated office within the community, elsewhere in Dover,
or elsewhere in Kent County. This office must be open to tenants and others at least 20 hours
a week, including at least five hours between the hours of 7am and 8am and/or 5pm and
midnight. The office hours must be posted and clearly communicated to residents of the
community.
• Each community must have a 24-hour emergency contact available to residents.
• Receipts must be given to tenants for their rent payments. Tenants paying in cash must be
given a receipt immediately. Tenants paying by any other method must receive a receipt
within two days.
• The community must keep a record of all receipts given for cash payments of rent. Individual
records in the record book must be kept for at least three years.
• The community must annually report to the City of Dover (by July l51) a record of all homes within
the community, including the name of the owner of each home, the address of each home, and
each owner's address, if different from the home address. A sample report is enclosed with this
letter.
• The owner or operator of each community must obtain or keep current an annual business
license from the City of Dover to operate the park.
• Only Department of Housing and Urban Development-licensed manufactured homes are
permitted to locate to manufactured home parks within Dover. Older mobile home models as
well as recreational vehicles may remain if already in a park, but no new ones may be moved in.
Please note that while all the above regulations are effective immediately, the City recognizes that
communities may need some time to put into action needed changes to meet the regulations. Please
cooperate with City Code Enforcement Staff to resolve any disputes. Please also contact the City's

ARTICLE 7. - NONCONFORMING BUILDINGS AND USES
Section 1. - Nonconforming buildings and uses.
The following provisions shall apply to all buildings and uses existing on the effective date of
this ordinance, which buildings and uses do not conform to the requirements set forth in this
ordinance; to all buildings and uses that become nonconforming by reason of any subsequent
amendment to this ordinance and the zoning map which is a part thereof; and to all conforming
buildings housing nonconforming uses:
1.1 Any nonconforming use, except those nonconforming uses specified in [sub]
section 1.5, may be continued indefinitely, but:
1.11 Shall not be enlarged, extended, reconstructed or placed on a different
portion of the lot or parcel of land occupied by such uses on the effective date
of this ordinance, nor shall any external evidence of such use such as traffic,
noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odor, heat or glare be increased by any means
whatsoever; or
1.12 Shall not be changed to another nonconforming use without a special permit
from the board of adjustment, and then only to a use which, in the opinion of
said board, is of the same or a more restricted nature; or
1.13 Shall not be reestablished if such use has been discontinued for any reason
for a period of one year or more, or has been changed to, or replaced by, a
conforming use. Intent to resume a nonconforming use shall not confer the
right to do so.
1.2 Except as provided in paragraph [subsection] 1.4 below, no building which houses
a non-conforming use shall be:
1.21 Structurally altered or enlarged; or
1.22 Moved to anothe r location where such use would be nonconforming; or
1.23 Restored for other than a conforming use after damage from any cause
exceeding 75 percent of the replacement cost of such building, exclusive of
foundations. Any such building damage[d] to a lesser extent may be restored,
but not enlarged, and the nonconforming use reinstated within one year of
such damage; [however,] if the restoration of such building is not completed

Dover, DE Code of Ordinances Page 2 of 4
within the said one-year period, the nonconforming use of such building shall
be deemed to have been discontinued, unless such nonconforming use is
carried on without interruption in the undamaged portion of such building.
1.3 Normal maintenance and repair, structural alteration in, and moving,
reconstruction or enlargement of a building which does not house a
nonconforming use, but is nonconforming as to the dist rict regulations for lot area,
lot width, front yard, side yard, rear yard, maximum height, maximum lot coverage,
or minimum livable floor area per dwelling is permitted if the same does not
increase the degree of, or create any new nonconformity with such regulations in
such building.
1.4 Nothing in this article shall be deemed to prevent normal maintenance and repair
of any building, or the carrying out, upon the issuance of a building permit, of
major structural alterations or demolitions necessary in the interest of public
safety. In granting such a permit, the city planner shall state the precise reason why
such alterations were deemed necessary.
1.5 Each of the nonconforming uses specified below is deemed sufficiently
objectionable, undesirable, and out of character in the district in which such use is
located as to depreciate the value of other property and uses permitted in the
district, and blight the proper and orderly development and general welfare of such
district and the city to the point t hat each of such nonconforming uses shall be
terminated on or before the expiration of the specified period of time after the
effective date of this ordinance; which period of time is specified for the purpose of
permitting the amortization of the remaining value, if any, of such use.
1.51 In any residence zone, any nonconforming use of open land, including such
uses as a parking lot, junkya rd, or open storage yard for mat erials or
equipment, may be continued for three years after the effective date of this
ordinance, or after annexation of the property into the City of Dover, provided
that, after the expiration of that period, such nonconforming use shall be
terminated (see also article 6, section 1.12). Any "mobile home" as that term is
defined in article 12 hereof, that was located within the limits of the City of
Dover at the effective date of this ordinance [November 22, 1976], or that was
in place on any land subsequently annexed into the City of Dover, shall
constitute a nonconforming use and shall be permitted to be maintained as a

nonconforming use indefinitely. However, such mobile home shall be required
to connect to city sewer and water mains, if available, and such mobile home
shall be subject to and shall comply with all other city codes and ordinances
applicable to structures and residences.
1.52 In any residence zone, any sign not of a type permitted, or of a permitted
type, but greater than two t imes the maximum permitted size may be
continued for one year following the effective date of this ordinance, provided
that, after the expiration of that period, such nonconforming use shall be
terminated.
1.53 In any residence zone, any non-conforming use of buildings which is not
permitted under the provisions of this ordinance may be continued for a period
of:
(a) Twenty years after the effective date of this ordinance, or
(b) Forty years after the initial construction of the building containing suc h use
or of any addition thereto adding 50 percent or more to the floor area
occupied by such use,
whichever is the longer period, provided that, after the expiration of that
period, such nonconforming use shall be terminated. However, no such
nonconforming use shall be permitted to continue for a period exceeding two
years, unless such use shall be operated in conformance with performance
standards established in article 5, section 8.
1.6 Residential occupancies that meet the definition of "student home," as provided in
article 12 of this ordinance, that can be proven to have been in existence as a
student home use prior to the enactment of regulations governing student homes,
shall be permitted to remain as legal nonconforming uses as to location and shall
not be subject to the conditional use approval requirements set forth in article 10,
section 2, provided that all such uses shall be made to conform with all other
provisions of article 3, section 2.4, subsection (b), with regard to licensing as a
student home, off-street parking requirements and number of students in
residence in the student home, within six months of the effective date of the
ordinance amendment establishing article 3, section 2.4, subsection (b).
Documentation to prove that a student home use existed prior to the enactment of
this ordinance shall be limited to executed lease agreements, City of Dover

licensing data, and/or [a] sworn legal affidavit from the owner of record of the
property. Failure to bring a nonconforming student home use into compliance
within the specified six-month period shall be deemed a violation of this ordinance
and subject to penalties as set forth in article 8 of the zoning ordinance [this
appendix] and all applicable provisions of [the] Dover Code of Ordinances.
Any student home use that existed prior to the enactment of this ordinance, that
ceases to exist or that is changed to any form of occupancy other than a student
home use for a period in excess of 120 days, shall not be reactivated as a student
home use without conditional use approval as set forth in article 3, section 2.4 and
article 10, section 1 of this ordinance.

Re: Appeal of Citation #19-00003386 and Related Fines - 8 South New Street, Dover Delaware
Mr. Sloven:
On November 23, 2020, the Construction and Property Maintenance Code Board of Appeals considered your request to appeal
the citation and fines related to your property located at 8 South New Street, in accordance with Chapter 114 - Vegetation,
Article II Weeds, Section 114-32 - Maximum Height, Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, and the 2009
International Property Maintenance Code.
After reviewing the case history and considering your testimony, it was the decision of the Board to suspend the $100.00 fine
issued in October 2020 contingent upon the previously owed dues of $100.00 for the citation issued in March 2020 being paid
and evidence being provided to the City of Dover Code Enforcement Department no later than January 1, 2021 with the
understanding that if the evidence of correction was not provided the appeal would go back before the Construction and
Property Maintenance Code Board of Appeals.
Because we have not received any evidence that corrections were made, a meeting of the Construction and Property
Maintenance Code Board of Appeals has been scheduled for Wednesday, January 20, 2020 at 3:30 p.m. to rehear your
appeal. This meeting will be held through WebEx and may be accessed through a computer, smart phone or through a
telephone call. Below I have listed the information needed to access the meeting.
Please feel free to contact me by email at cityclerk@dover.de.us or by phone at (302) 736-7008 if you have any questions
or concerns.

Re: Appeal of Citation #19-00003386 and Related Fines - 8 South New Street, Dover Delaware
Mr. Sloven:
On Monday, November 23, 2020, the Construction and Property Maintenance Code Board of Appeals
considered your appeal of the $100.00 fine imposed for Property Maintenance - Interior at 8 South New
Street Dover, Delaware, in violation of Chapter 114 - Vegetation, Article II Weeds, Section 114-32 -
Maximum Height, Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, and the 2009 International Property
Maintenance Code.
After reviewing the case history and considering your testimony, it was the decision of the Board to
uphold the citation issued by the Planning and Inspections Department on March 10, 2020. Therefore,
the fine associated with the March 10, 2020 citation, in the amount of $100.00, must be received by the
City of Dover within 14 days of the Board meeting or it will automatically double.
It was also the decision of the Board to suspend the fine of $100.00 issued on October 16, 2020 until
January 1, 2020 contingent upon evidence being provided to Code Enforcement that corrections have
been made to the violations.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the Department of Planning and

Although the $100 fine has been paid, the information regarding work that’s been done has not
been submitted. I left a message at his phone number in the paperwork (302-538-0153) on

I will reach out to him again today. At what point should it be taken it back to the board?

Good Morning,
In the CPMCBA Meeting of 11/23/2020 the Board decided to suspend the $100.00 fine issued to Mr.
Sloven in October of 2020 contingent on his paying his previously owed dues of $100.00 for the
citation issued in March of 2020, and providing information in the form of a list, receipts, pictures,
etc. to prove that some of the work had been done on the property located at 8 South New Street.
Can you please advise on the following:
• Has this information been provided to Code Enforcement?
• Has the $100.00 fee been paid?
• Does this need to go back to the Board or is it resolved?

Date: Wednesday, December 30, 2020 8:21:47 AM
Mr. Sloven:
In the November 23, 2020 Construction and Property Maintenance Code Board of Appeals Meeting
the Board moved to suspend the $100.00 fine issued in October of 2020 contingent on the previous
$100.00 citation from March 2020 being paid and information in the form of a list, receipts, photos,
etc. being provided to Ms. Bowen by January 1, 2021 to prove that some of the work had been done
on the property located at 8 South New Street.
While photos would be the best form of proof, the Board did state that a written list of work done or
receipts for things you’ve purchased to do repairs may also possibly be acceptable if provided to Ms.
Bowen no later than January 1, 2021. This information can be sent to Ms. Bowen at
vbowen@dover.de.us for review.
If this information is not provided by January 1, 2021, this appeal will need to go back before the
Construction and Property Maintenance Code Board of Appeals.

Below is a copy of a text I received from the tenant at 8 S New St in Dover. As you can see I
have not been able to gain access to this apartment. Please advise Ms. Velvet that I will not be
able to forward the agreed upon photos requested during the council meeting.
I did however pay the outstanding fine.

Good morning my sister and I are asking if you would wait to look at the smoke detectors
since it is not an emergency and since I purchased them all brand new. Of course there is no
problem with you coming here it is just not safe right now with the numbers increasing daily
and with us both being high risk.
at this time it is just not good even according to the CDC and our local
-
government officials to have others outside of your home in the home at all. I am sorry for the
inconvenience but we are asking that you please not come here to come inside today.
