OPENING REMARKS CONCERNING DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS Mrs. Townshend presented the audience information on policies and procedures for the meeting. OLD BUSINESS 1) Requests for Extensions of Planning Commission Approval: None NEW BUSINESS NEW DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS 1) S-14-18 Tall Pines at 1655 and 1665 Kenton Road – Public Hearing and Review of Site Development Application to permit a multi-family residential development consisting of two (2) three story buildings with a total of 24 units on a 2.34 acre ± parcel. The property is zoned RG-2 (General Residence Zone). The property is on the south side of Kenton Road and the north side of 1

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 Chestnut Grove Road located west of the intersection of the two roads. The owner of record is Woodbrook Ventures, LLC. Property Address: 1655 and 1665 Kenton Road. Tax Parcel: ED-05- 066.00-01-11.00-000. Council District 1. Waiver Request: Elimination of Sidewalks. A previous Site Development Plan S-04-33 and Parcel Consolidation Plan were approved by the Planning Commission in December 2004. Some site improvements and foundation work began but then ceased, therefore the original plan expired. Representatives: Mr. Joseph Petrosky, Woodbrook Ventures, LLC Mr. Cook stated that this application is a Site Development Plan to permit construct of two (2) twelve (12) unit multi-family residential structures with associated site improvements on a 2.34 acre ± site located at 1655 and 1665 Kenton Road located west of the intersection at Chestnut Grove Road and Kenton Road. The property is zoned RG-2 (General Residence Zone). The Site Development Application and Parcel Consolidation Plan appeared before the Planning Commission in December of 2004 and a Final Site Plan was approved but subsequently expired. The general plan of the project includes the following elements. The total of twenty-four (24) dwelling units in two (2) buildings with site improvements to include a parking lot with fifty (50) parking spaces. Fifty-four (54) spaces are required and will be provided as well as the required upright curbing, dumpsters, internal sidewalks and a landscaping plan. Vehicle access is from Kenton Road and a stormwater management pond is also located in the southwest area of the property. Mr. Cook gave an overview of the site layout shown on the projection screen. A Landscaping Plan includes a thick hedge screen along the property frontage of Chestnut Grove Road as required by the Zoning Ordinance. The plan includes the planting of fifty (50) trees complying with the requirements of the ordinance for tree density as well as the retention of many existing trees on the property. An Open Space and Active Recreation Plan consisting of 18,717 square feet of recreation space in three (3) proposed areas of the property shown on the plan. These buildings are three story multi-family residential structures. Brick is proposed at ground level with siding and a shingled roof. There is some nice column detailing on the balconies. Both buildings are identical and will face Dover Kenton Road. The Landscape Plan shows three different recreation areas proposed on the site. Area 1 is near the stormwater pond to the lower left. To the north of the stormwater pond is a proposed gazebo as well as horseshoe pits and landscaping. Area 2 in between the buildings is a lawn area proposed for open space as well as lawn games. Area 3 is in the southeast corner of the property. During the discussions that the Development Advisory Committee had as well as comments from the Parks Recreation and Community Enhancement Commission, Staff recommended deletion of Area 3. One of the reasons for that is that they didn’t feel that space was very functional with regards to the proximity to the road as well as the distance from the structures. For the Site Plan when it was originally proposed in 2004, the zoning requirements for the active recreation space areas were different. Today there is less of a requirement for the space. The applicant can simply omit that space and still be within compliance with the requirement for the open space and recreation space. 2

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 Also during the course of the Development Advisory Committee meetings, Staff made some recommendations located on Page 7 of the DAC Report. One of which was to relocate the planned horseshoe pits which were in Area 1. Those were too close to the property line according to the Zoning Ordinance so they had them relocated to Area 2 between the buildings. They also recommended the inclusion of a picnic table and a grill. This would be a fixed grill, similar to what you would see in state parks. That was on the recommendation of the Fire Marshal. This has been done in similar multi-family projects in the past because people still like to grill; however, in this type of property it’s not legal to have a grill on a balcony. This would deter that and give tenants an option. Also, Staff did make a recommendation to include a bench at Area 2 close to the lawn game area. Mrs. Townshend stated that an existing proposed bench would be relocated from the area around the stormwater pond to the Area 2 between buildings. It’s not an increase in the number of benches, it’s a re-location. Mr. Cook stated that also in the recommendations in the DAC Report, Staff recommended that the walking path that goes around the circumference of the stormwater management pond have a defined edge so that weeds don’t encroach into that. It can also assist with long term maintenance. They also recommended the inclusion of bicycle parking on the outside. By Code, three (3) bicycle parking spaces are required and they did have discussions at the DAC meeting that the plan would eventually include two (2) spaces at each building entrance facing the parking lot which would give a total of four (4) bicycle parking spaces. There was a waiver of the sidewalk requirement. By Code, sidewalk is required along Kenton Road frontage as well as the Chestnut Grove Road frontage. The applicant has been in discussion with DelDOT regarding implementation of that requirement. Mrs. Townshend stated that the waiver is not as much to get out of having a sidewalk there. When the previous plan was approved in 2004, the notes on the plan indicated that DelDOT would be responsible for the improvements within the right-of-way. The applicant is working with DelDOT to figure out where that is because the initial position of DelDOT with this application was that the applicant would be responsible. The purpose of the waiver is to allow for flexibility that if in fact DelDOT is going to construct the sidewalks, that they not be required to be in place when the buildings become open to the public; that they be phased with the DelDOT construction. Obviously this will be played out. If it is something that the applicant is responsible for then they would have to put them in. What they didn’t want was given that the DelDOT commitment to construct the sidewalks is uncertain; they didn’t want this project to get held up on that. Colonel Welsh questioned if Mr. Petrosky accepted the DAC comments? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Petrosky stated yes, he accepted the DAC comments. He has a meeting scheduled with DelDOT on October 17, 2014 to further discuss it with them. He can’t accept their recommendations as him agreeing with them. Mrs. Townshend stated that Mr. Petrosky understands that the Planning Commission can’t get him out of the DelDOT recommendations but he doesn’t want to commit to agreeing with everything in the DAC Report when there is an issue that he’s working with DelDOT on. 3

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 Colonel Welsh stated that Mr. Petrosky was going on record stating that he does not agree with DelDOT’s comments. Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Petrosky stated yes, that was correct. Mr. Petrosky stated that the big issue in re-starting this development has been the comments that he received from DelDOT. Quite frankly, it hit him over the head. It was an unusual circumstance at the time. In 2004 that large triangular area was a donation that he gave to DelDOT. In return, the agreement was that they would build the sidewalks when and if they ever built sidewalks on Chestnut Grove Road because they had no plans to build sidewalks north of Chestnut Grove Road. They had no plans on where the alignment is at this point in time. That was why they agreed in 2004 that he would give DelDOT the land and they would build the sidewalks when and if and where they decide to build them. All of a sudden, DelDOT is saying that they aren’t going to build the sidewalks. He believes that he has a legal agreement with them and that’s something that he has to work out with them. Regardless, he is hoping that the project gets built and that they can work something out one way or another. Colonel Welsh stated that he was on the Planning Commission in 2004 and this plan is pretty much the same plan as 2004. Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Petrosky stated yes, it is exactly the same. Actually the building foundations are in, the block work is in. Unfortunately a lot of work was done that had to be abandoned and is going to have to be re-done. But the sidewalk issue is dumbfounding to him. It’s in writing all over the minutes; the Staff Report from 2004 states it. Colonel Welsh questioned if there was a document from DelDOT stating this information? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Petrosky stated that was the problem. They don’t have an agreement because at the time, he was told by putting it on the Site Plan that was the way it should have been handled. He gave up 14,000 square feet of his land on the presumption that DelDOT would hold up to their end of the bargain and right now they are fighting it. Colonel Welsh questioned if there were any other comments? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Petrosky stated that he agrees with all of the details from the DAC Report. He agrees on some adjustments on landscaping and adding a few amenities for the recreation areas. Mr. Holt stated that at first it sounded like Mr. Petrosky was going to pay DelDOT to put the sidewalks in. Responding to Mr. Holt, Mr. Petrosky stated no, he gave DelDOT his property; they were supposed to do the improvements. Mrs. Townshend stated that DelDOT’s comment indicates that Mr. Petrosky would pay them to put in the sidewalks. Responding to Mrs. Townshend, Mr. Petrosky stated that it was obvious. All they had to do was read the plan that was approved. It’s kind of silly that they are even debating it. Mr. Cregar questioned if there was an issue with providing the additional parking? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Mr. Petrosky no, it’s probably a good idea because the old Code required two (2) extra parking spaces but this Code will require six (6). It will require six (6) additional parking spaces beyond the two (2) parking spaces per unit. Mr. Cregar stated that there was a Record Plan that was recorded for the previous application so if they approve this plan, should there not be a Record Plat and then a cross reference so that anyone looking that plat up would know that there is a new Record Plat for this? Responding to Mr. Cregar, 4

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 Mrs. Townshend stated that the only portions of the plan that get recorded are any changes to the property lines. The buildings, the building footprints and the improvements that are proposed were never recorded. What were recorded was the parcel consolidation and the dedication. That’s part of the issue that Mr. Petrosky has with DelDOT; the recordation didn’t expire but the plan did. Colonel Welsh stated that he thinks based on the elevations, it’s really an attractive building and he is glad to see something finally getting done. He asked for an idea on the colors of the building? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr Petrosky stated that they haven’t chosen the brick yet but it will be some sort of neutral beige color on the siding. Colonel Welsh stated that it would really be helpful to have the color on the elevation. If not colored, some indication of what the color is with an arrow leading to specific things. Colonel Welsh opened a public hearing. Ms. Ethel Matney – 1689 Kenton Road Dover DE 19904 Ms. Matney stated that she was the only house next to where the development is going to be. She is very happy to see something go on that lot because for over ten (10) years she has had nothing but stumps, weeds and trees growing up next door. It hasn’t been very attractive. One comment that she would like to make is that prior to when this was being discussed back in 2003 and 2004, there had not been a major housing development approved just down the street on Chestnut Grove Road. We now have a major development going in. There are lots of changes on Chestnut Grove Road taking away yards, etc. One of the concerns that she has is how are these people ever going to get out of the development? Obviously, there has to be a light now at Chestnut Grove Road and Kenton Road. Traffic is going to be backed up unbelievably and if you are coming out of the development onto Chestnut Grove Road you will have to make a left hand turn in order to get to Kenton Road. In the morning and evening that traffic area is backed up unbelievably. She doesn’t know how these people will function to get in and out and this is one of the concerns that she has. She will be able to get out of her driveway but them getting in and out is going to be a problem. She wants to know if there are any considerations from this group in terms of the traffic pattern. Responding to Ms. Matney, Mrs. Townshend stated that typically in terms of the traffic they defer to DelDOT because they monitor the roads. It’s a DelDOT maintained road; she knows that they are planning some improvements for Kenton Road but they control the access. Ms. Matney further stated that there are a lot of improvements for sidewalks and lights, etc. but that doesn’t address the traffic. Do they know if DelDOT has done a traffic study for that intersection? Responding to Ms. Matney, Mrs. Townshend stated that there has been quite a bit of traffic study for that intersection. The other development that was referenced is further on Chestnut Grove Road is part of a signal agreement that would straighten out that intersection which is part of the reason that DelDOT needed the land from Mr. Petrosky’s property to be able to improve the geometry with that intersection. Ms. Matney stated that they also have Fox Hall West and the other development there on the corner so there is a high concentration of cars. The other thing that she is concerned about is there is only approximately 2.5 acres of property and they are putting how many families there? Responding to Ms. Matney, Colonel Welsh stated that the proposed plan fits that area. 5

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 Ms. Matney further stated that that’s an awful lot of people. Responding to Ms. Matney, Colonel Welsh stated that he lives in Fox Hall and he has been there for a long time. The traffic on Dover Kenton Road it’s almost impossible at certain times of the day for him to get out of the development and the same on College Road as well. Signalizing that intersection is at least going to stop traffic in one direction to make it easier for those people coming out of the developments. Ms. Matney stated that she thinks when the traffic is stopped, how are they going to get into the follow of traffic? That is her concern. Responding to Ms. Matney, Colonel Welsh stated that that would be up to DelDOT to determine. It’s got to be an improvement; it can’t be any worse than it already is. That may or may not have alleviated her concerns but he tries to be optimistic. Ms. Matney stated that she also tries to be optimistic but after sitting there looking at a mess for over ten (10) years, she is not happy but Mr. Petrosky has worked hard to get this going and stepping up to the plate to regenerate the plan so she will stay optimistic about it. She does have concerns about that traffic flow and the amount of people who will be living in such a small space. Colonel Welsh closed the public hearing. Mr. Cregar questioned how to handle the waiver of sidewalk? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Mrs. Townshend stated that the motion could include not a full sidewalk waiver but flexibility on the timing of the sidewalk to allow the applicant to work with DelDOT. Mr. Cregar stated that they are dealing with a timeline issue. Responding to Mr. Cregar, Colonel Welsh stated yes, they are not going to say that a sidewalk is not required but it’s giving the applicant time to work with DelDOT to determine who is financially responsible for the installation of the sidewalk. Ms. Still moved to approve S-14-18 Tall Pines at 1655 and 1665 Kenton Road inclusive of the DAC comments and waivers requested for the elimination of sidewalks in concurrence with DelDOT recommendations, seconded by Mr. Cregar and the motion carried by roll call vote 7-0. Mr. Cregar voting yes, it meets the DAC recommendations and we have a plan for how to deal with the sidewalk waiver and it meets the general area as well as the Zoning Ordinance for the Site Plan development. Mr. Tolbert voting yes, the site development is needed, the building is appropriate and consistent with what they are looking for in this area. The applicant is willing to work with DelDOT to resolve all outstanding issues. Mr. Holt voting yes, agreeing with previously stated comments. It’s long overdue and it’s time they got this project off the ground. Mr. Baldwin voting yes, for all previously stated reasons. Dr. Jones voting yes, based on the applicant being in agreement with the DAC comments and Staff recommendations. It’s an unsightly corner and has been unsightly for a very long time and she also approves because she is comfortable with the flexibility in terms of the sidewalk waiver. Ms. Still voting yes, based on preceding comments. Colonel Welsh voting yes, based on all comments previously stated and also it’s an attractive project and will surely look better than the vacant lot that has been there for ten (10) years. 2) MI-14-12 Text Amendment: PND Buffer and Setbacks – Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council of Text Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 24 – Planned Neighborhood Design Option (PND), Subsection 24.62 – Buffers, Article 4 – Zoning Bulk and Parking Regulations, Subsections 4.10 and 4.11. The proposed ordinance revisions would 6

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 remove the required 40-foot buffer around the perimeter of developments utilizing the PND Option and would reduce the front and rear yards for houses being constructed under the PND Option. Ordinance #2014-18. Staff Amendment #1 proposed. Representatives: None Mrs. Townshend stated that this was a text amendment that was brought forward by a member of the public and sponsored by members of Council. It would do two things. It would eliminate the forty (40) foot buffer requirement around the perimeter of Planned Neighborhood Design Option (PND) developments. She thinks that the idea of a buffer was to ensure compatibility where housing styles are mixed. She thinks that as the PND has played out, they have not created a situation where that buffer is necessary. In many cases it’s in the common open space but in the case where it’s on individual lots, it has created challenges. They have had to deny people the opportunity to have fences, sheds, decks and other things that would be normal improvements on a lot. Staff has recommended in favor of this although Staff did not draft it. It is something that when Clearview Meadow came forward a while ago with their Active Recreation Plan amendment, there were a couple of people that came to speak. One person was very vocal about that forty (40) foot buffer and the impact that it had on his property. Where it is in the open space it wouldn’t change it but this would allow for when that forty (40) feet buffer is on individual lots, it would defer back to the regular setbacks. The other piece to this amendment is that it would change the front and rear yard requirements. It does not address the lot coverage. This would allow for flexibility in lot layout; it does not allow for more lot coverage. It would allow for the flexibility in how the lots are laid out in a development. They note that the Commission is able to relax bulk standards on any individual application. This would make it uniform in how it changes the bulk standards. Staff did put forward an amendment because in their review, they note that it does not address the issue of retroactivity to previously approved PND development. In that end, they consulted the Deputy City Solicitor and added language to the ordinance that would not go in the Code that would state that “the provisions shall be retroactive to developments previously approved by the Planning Commission that utilize the Planned Neighborhood Design Option (PND) provisions of Section 24. What that would do is create a situation where Staff would need to contact property owners that are in that forty (40) foot buffer and give them the opportunity to come back and get something recorded that removes that. Colonel Welsh opened a public hearing. Ms. Nicole Faries – Prickett, Jones & Elliott P.A. 11 N State St Dover DE 19901 Ms. Faries stated that their firm represents a number of real estate developers in the City of Dover and they have worked closely with the Planning Commission and in the past and over the years have made sure that all of their projects meet City Code requirements. They try to help improve the City Code where it’s needed. They think the Ordinance being considered tonight is a welcome improvement to the City Code. The Planned Neighborhood Design Option (PND) regulations as they are currently written, they dictate setback and building envelopes which are overly restrictive and unrealistic. With the result that the only projects that are able to be built in compliance with these regulations have very little demand in the current system. The Ordinance before the 7

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 Commission tonight will permit a great degree of flexibility in the design which will allow developers to offer residential dwellings that are in the current market demand and that are desirable. For all of these reasons, they support the proposed ordinance and respectfully request the Commission favorable consideration and recommendation for approval. Colonel Welsh closed the public hearing. Mr. Holt moved to recommend approval to City Council for MI-14-12 Text Amendment: PND Buffer and Setbacks to include retroactivity to previous plans and that notification of people affected will take place, seconded by Dr. Jones and the motion carried by roll call vote 7-0. Mr. Cregar voting yes, his vote concurs with the Staff comments and recommendations in accordance with this text amendment. Mr. Tolbert voting yes, Staff has obviously conducted a critical review of the situation and he feels comfortable with the conclusions that they have reached as indicated in the petition to amendment the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Holt voting yes, it was well explained, much needed and long overdue for the community. Mr. Baldwin voting yes, it is a much needed change. He also agrees with the retroactive notification. Dr. Jones voting yes, for reasons that have been previously stated and especially because the past applicants are going to be notified and have the opportunity to make this change. Ms. Still voting yes, in concurrence with all previous comments and she too feel that the Planning Staff did a lot of work and a lot of effort to get this worked out to help better the community. Colonel Welsh voting yes, praising the Planning Staff for their work put into this. 3) MI-14-14 Text Amendment: Site Plan Development Approval – Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council of Text Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 Section 2 – Site Plan Development Approval. The proposed ordinance revision corrects the intent of Ordinance #2014-08 which rewrote commercial and office zone regulations and administrative processes. The adopted ordinance allows for existing building expansion by up to 15% to be reviewed administratively, but omitted a similar provision for impervious surfaces. The proposed amendment would also allow for expansion of up to 15% of impervious cover on a site to be reviewed administratively. Ordinance #2014-20. Representatives: None Mrs. Townshend stated that this amendment is actually a correction that Staff found after the adoption of Ordinance #2014-08 which was approved by City Council on July 14, 2014 after being recommended by the Planning Commission at the June 2014 meeting. That was the ordinance that rewrote the commercial zones but also looked at some of the provisions of Article 10 relating to Site Development Plans to work to streamline and do some more things administratively. One of the things that Staff did in that was create language that allowed for a 15% expansion of an existing structure to be done administratively. They did not make that same language change with the impervious cover. They found with their first applicant that intended to go through that process that if they are expanding their building footprint 15%, they are likely to be expanding their impervious cover by that same amount. They just added language that mirrors the language in Additions to Existing Structures to address Additions of an Impervious Surface to allow up to 15% or 5,000 square feet, whichever is greater, to be done administratively. 8

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 Colonel Welsh opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the public hearing. Mr. Cregar moved to recommend approval to City Council for MI-14-14 Text Amendment: Site Plan Development Approval for the reasons of correcting a needed part of a previous amendment of an ordinance, seconded by Mr. Holt and the motion carried by roll call vote 7-0 with Mr. Holden and Mr. Ambruso absent. Mr. Cregar voting yes, for reasons previously stated. Mr. Tolbert voting yes, the approval of this recommendation to City Council recognizes that the Commission recognized that giving the Planning Staff administrative ability to handle applications of this nature will facilitate the entire process and makes things considerably easier as well as recognized the competency of the Planning Staff. Mr. Holt voting yes, due to the explanation by Mrs. Townshend that it would make it a lot easier for Planning Staff. Mr. Baldwin voting yes, due to the need for uniformity. Dr. Jones voting yes, for reasons previously stated. Ms. Still voting yes, for reasons previously stated and it seems like it was the perfect thing to do to keep things tidy. Colonel Welsh voting yes, for all the reasons previously stated. Meeting adjourned at 7:51 PM Sincerely, Kristen Mullaney Secretary 9

The request for the rezoning will not affect the character of the neighborhood. This recommendation is being made without that benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding landowners and residents. A public hearing is required on this matter and the Planning Commission should give those comments consideration. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1) The applicant shall be aware that following any decision made by City Council in regards to approval of this rezoning, that a Site Plan, Subdivision Plan and or appropriate Building Permits must be submitted to the Planning Department prior to the establishment of a use or any construction activity on the site. The applicant should contact the Planning Staff to determine the appropriate review process for any proposed projects. 2) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any rezoning application does not represent a Building Permit, other construction activity permit approval, or authorization to establish a use. A separate application submission showing proposed improvements is required before issuance of permits by the City of Dover. If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the above contact person and the Planning Department as soon as possible.

City of Dover CITY OF DOVER Planning Office DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY D.A.C. MEETING DATE: November 5, 2014 APPLICATION: Mini Storage at 200 Weston Drive FILE #: S-14-21 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning Office CONTACT PERSON: Bill Cook, Planner I PHONE #: 302.736.7196 PLAN SUMMARY This is a Site Plan Review to permit the construction of three mini-storage buildings for a total of 16,800 S.F. of new buildings and associated site improvements. A total of 125 units are proposed in the mini-storage buildings. The proposed buildings are to be constructed on an existing site. The property is zoned IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone). The owner of record is All Safe Mini Storage LLC, 200 Weston Drive. The property is located north of the terminus of Weston Drive and west of Ridgely Street. Tax Parcel: ED05-076.08-01-11.01-000. The existing building on the property is an office/warehouse building of 6,000 S.F. with a fenced storage area for the contractor’s establishment. A telecommunications tower and associated compound is also found on the existing site, as is a stormwater management pond. This plan proposes the addition of a mini-storage facility to consist of three (3) buildings (buildings of 4,800 S.F., 4,800 S.F. and 7,200 S.F.) with a total area of 16,800 S.F. The Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §20 outlines a series of requirements for mini-storage facilities related to separation distances between buildings, limitations on outdoor storage and activities within individual units, and parking requirements. Previous Approvals A previous Site Development Plan (S-11-07) was approved by the Planning Commission in May 2011 for the construction of three (3) mini-storage buildings. The Site Plan approval was extended twice but expired in May 2014 as authorized construction did not commence. The approval of S-11-07 included the granting of a waiver for partial elimination of the upright curbing requirement. Initial redevelopment of the property began in 2005. Site Development Plan S-05-36 was approved by the Planning Commission in December 2005 to allow construction of a warehouse, office, and self-storage buildings. The warehouse and office space was developed under an approved Final Site Plan. The plan subsequently expired and the self-storage buildings were not constructed. The initial approvals granted a waiver for the purpose of the partial elimination of required curbing to serve stormwater management needs.

S-14-21 Mini-Storage at 200 Weston Drive Final DAC Report of November 5, 2014 Page 3 of 7 SITE CONSIDERATIONS Parking For the mini-storage buildings portion of this project, the parking requirement per the provisions of Zoning Ordinance Article 3 §20.18 is one (1) parking space per 25 storage units and a minimum of three (3) parking spaces for the office space associated with the storage facility to be located outside the gate to the storage facility. Based on the proposed unit count (125 units) for the mini-storage buildings, five (5) parking spaces are required plus three (3) parking spaces for the associated office. For the existing office/warehouse building on the site, eight (8) spaces are required. For the total site, the requirement is for sixteen (16) total parking spaces. Seven (7) existing parking spaces are shown on the plan adjacent to the existing office/warehouse building, and six (6) parallel spaces are proposed to be added along the eastern property line near the proposed storage buildings. The Site Plan is proposing thirteen (13) total parking spaces. Staff notes that any planned RV or boat storage should be noted separately on the plan if the owner intends to offer such outdoor storage spaces for rent. Waiver Request: Reduction in Parking Requirement In accordance with Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 §3.9, the Planning Commission may allow for adjustments to parking requirements; however, the reduction in parking by the Planning Commission is not to exceed 50% of the required number of parking spaces. The plan is deficient three (3) parking spaces. The applicant has requested a parking reduction waiver for three (3) spaces, indicating that the existing parking located adjacent to the existing office building (where the mini-storage office will be located) is sufficient for the business needs given the anticipated low traffic volume. If a parking reduction waiver is granted, then the area for the parking spaces must still be reserved on the site (but not constructed) and shown on the Final Plan. Bicycle Parking The Zoning Ordinance calculates required bicycle parking facilities in Article 6 §3.10, based on required parking for automobiles, one (1) bicycle parking space would be required. Bicycle parking is not shown on the plan as submitted. Sidewalk The submitted plan shows an existing sidewalk along the east side of Weston Drive adjacent to the stormwater pond, leading from the northwest boundary of the adjacent property at 101 Weston Drive. Staff notes that the Weston Drive public right-of-way terminates at the southwest boundary of 101 Weston Drive, at which point the street becomes a private road leading to the subject site. Dumpster Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §6 requires one (1) dumpster pad for the first 40,000 S.F. of gross building area for industrial, warehousing, and institutional uses. The proposed building square footage total will be 22,800 S.F. requiring one (1) dumpster pad. An existing dumpster pad is

S-14-21 Mini-Storage at 200 Weston Drive Final DAC Report of November 5, 2014 Page 4 of 7 shown on the property behind the existing warehouse, and an additional dumpster pad is proposed in the area of the mini-storage buildings near the eastern property line. Enclosures are shown per code requirements. Lighting The Site Plan shows the location of lights on the mini-storage buildings. Lighting on the other building is not labeled. Per the objectives of Article 10 §2.24, the Site Plan must additionally include the power, direction, and time of outdoor lighting, and demonstrate no adverse effect upon adjacent properties. Curbing Zoning Ordinance Article 6 §3.6(b) requires upright curbing for all parking areas and access drives. Curbing is shown on the Site Plan in front of the fence along the west side of the location of the mini-storage building, and adjacent to the parking area in front of the existing office building. The area near the six (6) new proposed parallel parking spaces is not curbed. Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Curbing In accordance with Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 §3.6(b), the Planning Commission may relax the requirement for upright concrete curbing when there is a demonstrated need to convey stormwater to a proposed or approved stormwater management area. The submitted plans do not show curbing throughout the site as required. The Planning Commission granted a curbing waiver for stormwater management needs during this site’s December 2005 approval, and again with the May 2011 approval. The applicant has requested a partial elimination of the upright curbing requirement for the portion of the site surrounding the proposed mini-storage buildings. Signage Any signage must be approved through a separate sign approval and permitting process. For purposes of the sign regulations found in the Zoning Ordinance Article 5 §4, Weston Drive is considered an “Urban Collector/Local Street” and is a non-residential property in a non- residential zoning district. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE AND LAYOUT An architectural rendering of the site was submitted depicted the existing office/warehouse building and the three mini-storage buildings on the east side of the property. The rendering also shows three other buildings in the northwest area of the site. These buildings were part of a previous plan but not implemented; they are not for consideration with this project. Per the requirements of Article 10 §2.5, renderings must be provided for any building elevations visible from the public right of way. Exterior surface materials should be clearly noted and depicted. It appears that the mini-storage buildings are clad with metal siding and roofing. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN One (1) tree is required for every 3,000 S.F. of land area. The tree planting requirement is based on the total lot area and may count existing trees towards meeting the requirement. There are no Woodland Areas on the subject site as defined by Zoning Ordinance Article 5 §16.6, although existing trees are found on the site and depicted on the Site Plan. Based on the 233,482 S.F. (5.36 Ac.) of non-woodland area, a total of trees 78 are required. A Landscaping Plan sheet is included in the submitted Site Plan that shows that 21 trees are

S-14-21 Mini-Storage at 200 Weston Drive Final DAC Report of November 5, 2014 Page 5 of 7 proposed to be retained and 57 trees are proposed to be planted, therefore meeting the tree density requirement. Existing trees are located mainly on the west side of the property near the existing office and warehouse building. The majority of the proposed new tree locations are on the east side of the property adjacent to the stormwater retention pond, with some new trees also going near the existing buildings. While the site and surrounds are industrial in character, the tree plantings proposed around the stormwater pond will provided some visual screening from Weston Drive. The species selected for the new plantings are a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees which also include varieties with seasonal interest. As part of the landscaping plan submitted, the applicant has noted areas for selective removal or control of invasive plants found on the site, primarily around the existing fences. THE SUBJECT PROPOSAL HAS BEEN REVIEWED FOR CODE COMPLIANCE, PLAN CONFORMITY, AND COMPLETENESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGENCY’S AUTHORITY AND AREA OF EXPERTISE. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS: 1) The Site Plan must be updated with changes recommended or approvals including any waivers granted by the Planning Commission. Add to plan as reference notes. 2) Update parking calculations and Site Plan to reflect current code requirements. The site requires three (3) additional parking spaces. A waiver request for reduction in parking was received by the Planning Office on November 6, 2014. 3) Upright curbing of the parking and drive areas is required as per Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 §3.6. A waiver request for reduction in parking was received by the Planning Office on November 5, 2014. 4) Add the following information to Sheet 1 and/or on other sheets as appropriate. The Site Data Columns will need to be updated prior to Final Approval. i) Update owner of record listings including owner certification on Sheet 1. ii) Add bicycle parking count in the data column and add location of bicycle parking and a detail of its construction. iii) Add notes indicating actions taken on the Waiver Requests by the Planning Commission specific to this plan. (Update General Note #21.) iv) If the parking waiver is sought, indicated a reserved parking area on site for the required spaces. 5) Clarify the location of the fence and gate system to the northeast of the existing building. A drawn it does not appear that there is a gate to access the drive aisle on the north side of the existing building. The fencing also limits access to a fire hydrant. 6) Ensure the existing sidewalk on along the stormwater management pond includes an accessibility ramp at its terminus and that no conflict exists with the fencing.

S-14-21 Mini-Storage at 200 Weston Drive Final DAC Report of November 5, 2014 Page 6 of 7 7) Update all references from Public Utilities to Public Works and updated contact number. 8) Landscape Plan Sheet: Update and complete Data Column – impervious surface coverage. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET CODE OBJECTIVES: 1) Staff recommends the use of an “Inverted-U” type rack which is capable of securely supporting two (2) bicycles and can be embedded in concreted or bolted to existing concrete. 2) All access drive aisles and parking areas located on the private property must be paved hard surfaces in good repair and free from potholes. 3) Waiver Requests: a) Reduction in Parking Requirement- Staff recommends approval of the request for parking reduction based on the justification provided with the waiver request. A reserved parking area for three (3) spaces must be shown on the Final Plan. b) Partial Elimination of Curbing- Staff recommends approval of the request to eliminate the curbing for the eastern, northern, and southern portions of the related paved areas for the mini-storage buildings. It appears that the elimination of curbing will allow existing drainage patterns to continue for certain areas of the site. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1) It is noted that other property held in similar ownership are listed on the City’s Delinquent Tax List as of November 5, 2014. The provisions of the Clean Hands Ordinance may be invoked; the City reserves the right to make the project subject to the Clean Hands Ordinance. 2) The Planning Commission should act upon any waiver requests for the project as part of any motion to approve this project, or as a separate motion if necessary. Note: All waivers are at the discretion of the Planning Commission. The Commission may approve or deny waiver requests. 3) Following Planning Commission approval of the Site Plan, the Plan must be revised to meet all conditions of approval from the Development Advisory Committee or as otherwise noted. A Check Print must be submitted for review by Planning Office Staff and directly to other agencies. Upon determination that the Plan is complete and all agency approvals have been received, copies of the Plan may be submitted for final endorsement. 4) In the event that major changes and revisions to the Site Development Plan occur in the finalization of the Site Plan contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of the site improvements, relocation of site components like stormwater management areas, and increases in floor area or building additions. These changes may require resubmittal for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making recommendations in regards to the plan.

City of Dover CITY OF DOVER Planning Office DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY D.A.C. MEETING DATE: November 5, 2014 APPLICATION: Seskinore Development FILE #: S-14-22 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning CONTACT PERSON: Dawn E. Melson-Williams, AICP PHONE #: (302) 736-7196 PLAN SUMMARY This Site Plan consists of a Revised Site Development Application to permit a total of 18 dwelling units on a 5.047 acre +/- site to be known as Seskinore Court. The project proposes construction of ten (10) duplex units and four (4) townhouse units in addition to the existing four (4) units in multiplex buildings. The property is zoned RM-1 (Medium Density Residence Zone). The development is located on the southwest side of McKee Road and north of Meadow Drive. The owner of record is Artisans’ Bank. Properties addressed to Seskinore Court. Tax Parcel: ED-05-067.00-03-07.00-017. PROJECT DESCRIPTION This proposed residential development is the continuation of a residential development project previously approved in 2004. Four dwelling units in two multiplex buildings and the street known as Seskinore Court were constructed for the project. The City accepted dedication of this street in January 2010. Other site improvements completed for the development include the stormwater management facility and the elements of the Active Recreation Area Plan (hobby garden area). The Site Plan S-04-20 for the Seskinore Development expired due to the lack of continual construction activity thus requiring the resubmission of the project for construction of the remaining fourteen (14) dwelling units. The Revised Plan S-14-22 as currently submitted reflects changes in dwelling unit location and layout (building footprint) and the change in format of duplex units to side-by-side units rather than over-under units. The residential development remains in a condominium style maintenance and ownership format. The dwelling units proposed to be constructed are ten (10) duplex units and four (4) townhouse units. The units are laid out in similar placement locations from Seskinore Court when compared to the originally approved plan as most of the utility infrastructure exists already. Previous Application The previous Site Development Plan S-04-20 was approved by the Planning Commission in June 2004 with Final Site Plan approval on July 15, 2005. The project consisted of eighteen (18) unit residential age-restricted community in the condominium style maintenance and ownership P. O. Box 475 Dover, DE 19903 Community Excellence Through Quality Service

S-14-22 Seskinore Development DAC Report for November 5, 2014 Page 3 of 7 format as a series of duplex/multiplexes and townhouses. The Plan proposed one entrance road known as Seskinore Court connecting to McKee Road which received approval of waivers to reduce the street right-of-way (from 60 feet to 50 feet) and the paved street width (from 38 feet to 24 feet). An associated variance application to the Board of Adjustment (V-04-06) was granted approval to reduce the floodplain buffer from 25 feet to 10 feet. Associated with Site Plan S-04-20 revisions were later approved for a Revision Active Recreation Area Plan for changes to the format of the hobby garden area and associated area grading; Revised Final Plan approval was issued in February 2006. At its meeting of February 16, 2010, the City of Dover Planning Commission moved to grant approval of the request to remove the age restricted housing condition for Seskinore Development in accordance with the Memorandum issued by City of Dover Planning Staff on February 4, 2010. The age restriction was voluntarily placed on the project by the applicant and was not a City of Dover code requirement for the project. RM-1 Zoning District The uses and bulk standards of the RM-1 (Medium Density Residential Zone) zoning district are outlined in Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §6 and Article 4 §4.7. See chart for the requirements of each dwelling unit type. Article 4 Section 4.7. - [RM-1 zone.] Bulk and parking regulations for the RM-1 zone [are as follows] (see also article 12, definitions; article 5, supplementary regulations; and article 6, off-street parking, driveways and loading facilities): One-Family Detached One-Family Lot Duplex Multiplex Townhouse Dwellings & Rooming Line Dwellings Dwellings Dwellings Dwellings Houses Minimum requirements for dwelling units: Lot area (sq. ft.) 8,000 7,000 5,000 3,000 3,000 Lot width (ft.) 70 65 40 22 Lot depth (ft.) 100 90 100 110 Off-street parking 2 2 2 2 2 spaces Minimum requirements for buildings: Front yard (ft.) 25 20 25 30 30 Minimum side yard (ft.) 10 — 15 10 10 Total side yards (ft.) 20 30 30 30 30 Rear yard (ft.) 30 30 30 20 30 Lot width (ft.) 100 Lot depth (ft.) 120 Maximum permitted: Building Height Stories 2½ 2 2½ 3 3 Feet 35 24 35 35 35 Lot coverage 35% 35% 35% 35% 50% Number of dwelling units 1 1 2 5 9 per building

S-14-22 Seskinore Development DAC Report for November 5, 2014 Page 4 of 7 BUILDING ARCHITECTURE The total of 18 units on this property equals a density of 3.6 dwelling units per acre. The maximum density in RM-1 is 6 dwelling units per acre. This residential community contains three types of residential units: duplex, two-unit multiplexes (already constructed), and townhouses. Building Units 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, and 13/14 are considered duplex units. Building Units 1-4 consists of townhouse units. Planning Staff has interpreted the code to allow for the configuration of a two-unit multiplex as a type of multiple dwelling. The multiplex units already constructed consist of stacked two dwelling units where each unit occupies one floor of the two story building. A concept for the buildings’ architectural characteristics is required per Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §19. A series of building elevations depicting two story units and one-and-half story units was submitted. Exterior finishes for the residential units consist of horizontal siding, shingled roof, entry porches with column details, front entry garages, and window trimwork detailing including shutters. SITE CONSIDERATIONS Floodplain Regulations This property is impacted by the Special Flood Hazard Area (100 year floodplain) as per the effective FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Maps) of May 2003. This results in all of the proposed units being within the floodplain with the exception of the multiplex buildings already constructed and the proposed duplex units of Units 5 and 6. The applicant is currently pursuing a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) with FEMA as additional information regarding the site’s topography has shown that the areas of proposed construction are at the higher elevation than the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) effective per the associated Flood Insurance Study. Both the floodplain line of the effective FIRM panel and the proposed floodplain line from the pending LOMR are shown on the plan set. It is noted that previously the floodplain location was depicted incorrectly on Site Plan S-04-20. As part of Site Plan S-04-20 the applicant also sought a variance from the floodplain buffer requirement to allow construction of residential buildings. The Board of Adjustment granted a variance from the 25 feet buffer to allow encroachment of 15 feet thus maintaining a minimum buffer of 10 feet from the floodplain. (Application V-04-06.) The current Zoning Ordinance regulations for floodplains do not require a setback buffer1; this buffer should be removed from the plan. Sidewalks Sidewalks are existing along the cul-de-sac street of Seskinore Court as required by Article 5 §18.1. Sidewalks also exist along the McKee Road frontage of the property as well. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN The property includes existing woodland areas of 2.44 acres. A total of 1.47 acres of woodland will be preserved (37% of the woodland will be cleared). Therefore, the non-woodland area 1 The floodplain regulations of Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 11. Environmental Protection were amended by Ordinance #2010-25 on November 8, 2010. File MI-10-07. The amendment removed the buffer requirement from the flood hazard areas.

S-14-22 Seskinore Development DAC Report for November 5, 2014 Page 5 of 7 consists of 130,998 S.F. (3.01 acres +/-) and will require 44 trees to meet the Tree Density requirements. A series of evergreen trees exists along the south property line. Mix of evergreen and deciduous trees were already along the McKee Road frontage and adjacent to the City pump station property. New tree plantings as a mix of deciduous shade trees and Foster’s Holly are proposed in the vicinity of the proposed dwelling units and near Seskinore Court. The plan lists 41 trees as existing and sixteen (16) new trees to be planted. This property is adjacent to the Anne McClements Woodland area of the Fork Branch Nature Preserve. This 236 acre area is held by the State of Delaware as Open Space. OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION AREAS Based on the number of residential dwelling units proposed (18 units), this subdivision shall provide 0.5 acres +/- (21,780 S.F.) of open space designed to function as active recreation space. The Recreation Plan was previously approved in 2004 (with revisions in 2006) and has partially been implemented. Therefore additional review by the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee will not be required with the Revised Site Plan S-14-22 as the number of dwelling units is unchanged. The Plan indicates two areas reserved as active recreation space: a Hobby Garden with ground level planting beds and a second smaller area is identified near McKee Road as a Horseshoe Pitching area with bench seating. Other areas are shown as Open Space including the stormwater management area. THE SUBJECT PROPOSAL HAS BEEN REVIEWED FOR CODE COMPLIANCE, PLAN CONFORMITY, AND COMPLETENESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGENCY’S AUTHORITY AND AREA OF EXPERTISE. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS: 1) The data column on all sheets will need to be updated to reflect any changes recommended or approvals by the Planning Commission. 2) Sheet 1 – Site Plan: a) Correct the listing of setbacks for each unit type: duplex, townhouse, and multiplex. b) List maximum building height. c) Correct zoning of State of Delaware property to ROS. d) General Notes #11: Add notes that as of 11/8/2010 Ordinance #2010-25 removed the requirement for buffers from the floodplain. e) Check information in General Note #16 and #2 and plan label regarding the BFE. f) General #17: Add date of City Council action on waiver. g) Check size of property. Data Column and plan label give different sizes. h) Some of the topographic line labels are over-printing other labeling. 3) Construction of dwelling units in the floodplain is not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. Currently, only Units 5 and 6 can be constructed as proposed on the plan. Planning Staff notes that the applicant is pursuing a LOMR with FEMA. a) Clarify the line work shown for the floodplain lines. The floodplain lines per the effective FIRM are not labeled. b) Upon receipt of approval of the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) clearly label the revised floodplain line and add notes regarding the LOMR.

S-14-22 Seskinore Development DAC Report for November 5, 2014 Page 6 of 7 c) Remove the floodplain buffer as this is not a current requirement (on all plan sheets). 4) Clarify the size of the wetland area along the west property line and the area along the north property line. Wetland areas of a certain size require a setback to be implemented per Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §11.22. 5) The changes in location of driveway curb cuts may require a ROW Permit from the Department of Public Works prior to implementation. a) Consult with Public Works regarding the removal of the extra curb cut between Units 4 and 5. 6) Landscape Plan, Sheet L-1: a) Clarify which trees are being counted as existing trees on the plan. b) Identify the relocation placement of the three trees near Unit 14. c) Clarify if the plantings near the street at the hobby garden area are trees or shrubs. 7) The Seskinore Court addresses for each unit may need to be revised due to changes in dwelling unit format and renumbering of proposed units shown on the plan. Coordination with the City’s Tax Assessment will be necessary. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET CODE OBJECTIVES: 1) Staff suggests a continuation of a hard surface pathway leading from the street sidewalk to access the first horseshoe pit and bench location. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory Committee may provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code requirements. 2) Following Planning Commission approval of the Site Plan, the Plan must be revised to meet all conditions of approval from the Development Advisory Committee or as otherwise noted.

Upon determination that the Plan is complete and all agency approvals have been received, copies of the Plan may be submitted for final endorsement. 3) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Site Development Plan occur in the finalization of the Site Plan contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of the building, relocation of site components, and increases in unit count. These changes may require resubmittal for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making recommendations in regards to the plan. 4) For building construction, the requirements of the building code or fire code must be complied with. Consult with the Chief Building Inspector and City of Dover Fire Marshal for these requirements. The resolution of these items may impact the site design including such items as building dimensions and height, building openings, and fire protection needs, etc.

Please contact our office for more information. 2. The following notes must be added to the plans: a. Hydrant connections by the contractor are prohibited. This method may not be utilized during any phase of the project. b. Any existing water lines not to be utilized by the proposed facility must be properly abandoned at the mains in accordance with the City of Dover Department of Public Works specifications and requirements. c. The site contractor shall contact the City of Dover Public Works Construction Manager at (302) 736-7025 prior to the start of construction. A representative from the City of Dover Department of Public Works must observe and approve all City owned water and sanitary sewer interconnections and testing. All water taps must be performed by a City of Dover approved contractor. The proposed location for the water connection may need to be adjusted in the field due to conditions of the existing main. Possible conditions that would require tapping relocation include proximity to pipe joints, other taps, concrete encasements, conflict with other utilities, and the like. Test holes must be performed by the contractor to determine the best tapping location. The City of Dover will not be held responsible for field conditions requiring adjustment of the tapping location or for any work required by the contractor to make an appropriate and lawful connection. 3. The size, type, and location of all proposed and existing water lines and valves must be shown on the plan. 4. Water usage projections (peak demand or plumbing fixtures) must be submitted to our office to correctly determine the size of the domestic and irrigation (if applicable) water meter for the proposed building. These projections must be submitted prior to approval so the meter size can be placed on the final site plan. The proposed water meter must be installed in a pit per City of Dover requirements and manufacturer’s recommendations. Also, a dual check valve is required downstream of the meter. 5. The domestic service, fire main connection and valves must be clearly shown for each building. A valve must be installed at the tee to isolate combined fire and domestic water service to the building from the water loop. Typically this valve is installed at the tee or an acceptable distance from the building. A valve must be provided on the domestic water service, which must be tapped off of the combined eight-inch (8”) fire/domestic service outside of the building. The domestic water tap and valve should be as close to the building as possible. Typically, the domestic tap and valve are located within five feet (5’) to ten feet (10’) of the building. A blow up detail of this layout is recommended. 6. Provide a construction detail for the proposed restraining system for the fire main located within the buildings. The Department of Public Works will test and inspect all fire mains to a blind flange located inside the buildings. The blind flange with tap is used for hydrostatic pressure testing (200 psi for two (2) hours) and dechlorination. The flange must be restrained in the direction of the pipe entering the facility. A pipe entering horizontally through a wall sleeve shall be restrained with rods through the wall. A pipe entering vertically through a slab shall be restrained through the floor to the ninety degree (90) bend and thrust block. All rods shall be a minimum of ¾” all thread. All pipes through walls and slabs must be Class 52 cement lined ductile iron pipe. Confirm particulars to meet this requirement with mechanical designer. WASTEWATER 1.
