Item 1.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Requests that we had back in February that City Council acted
on in March. The Land Development Plan: Map 12-1 was updated which shows the land use
classifications for all City properties; it’s kind of the full view map. The other map that was

copies are for the Commissioner’s Comprehensive Plan Books that were previously distributed.
You can always find these maps on the City’s website under the Planning Office page. We have
a specific page setup for the Comprehensive Plan.

NEW APPLICATIONS
Z-21-03 Lands of Silver Linings Holdings Corporation at 630 West Division Street – Public
Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council on a rezoning application for a parcel
of land consisting of 1.0853 acres (47,275.3 SF +/-). The properties are zoned C-3 (Service
Commercial Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is C-2A
(Limited Central Commercial Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The
property is located on the south side of West Division Street and opposite the intersection with
Ridgely Street. The owner of record is Silver Linings Holding Corporation c/o Tolano Anderson.
Property Address: 630 W. Division Street. Tax Parcel: ED-05-076.08-01-40.01-000. Council
District 4. Ordinance #2021-07. This property was the subject of Rezoning Application Z-20-03
that was unsuccessful in its rezoning request for IO (Institutional and Office Zone) with COZ-1
in November-December 2020.
Representatives: Mr. Tolano Anderson, Owner; Mr. Troy Adams, Mountain Consulting
Mr. Swierczek stated that this application is a Rezoning for 630 West Division Street. The
property is currently zoned C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) and is subject to the COZ-1
(Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is to take the property to C-2A (Limited Central
Commercial Zone) but also remaining subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). As a side
note, the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) is usually an added provision of the Zoning Ordinance
that requires some added stipulations for sort of physical appearances, but those pertain to
primarily new developments so that won’t necessarily apply to this. This Application is
specifically for Rezoning. There is no redevelopment of the property or any other type of change

Item 1.
of use specific to this Application; that would be part of a later review process. As a reminder to
the members of the Planning Commission, this property did come before Planning Commission
in November 2020 to take the property from C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) to IO (Institutional
and Office Zone) that would allow for a shelter use. This Rezoning to C-2A (Limited Central
Commercial Zone) was specifically cited to allow the use of apartments to be established in
addition to the existing use of professional office space. As an added note, the C-2A (Limited
Central Commercial Zone) does not allow for a shelter use. There is no specific re-development
associated with this application; this is only reviewing the Rezoning.
Mr. Tolano Anderson stated that he would like to point out that yes, they were before the
Commission last year; however, that Rezoning for IO (Institutional and Office Zone) was not
successful. They recognize that there is a shortage of affordable housing in Dover and
particularly in this area; so, they are looking at a 20,000 SF building that is highly under-utilized.
They are excited about the opportunity to create some affordable housing there as well as
continuing the office use that is there. It is a great location for a mixed use, and it is all permitted.
So, we are submitting this application to the Development Advisory Committee as well as the
Planning Staff and Planning Commission for the C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone). We
just ask for your support and thank you.
Mr. Hartman stated that he supports this application and thinks it should be recommended to City
Council for approval, but he would just like to ask Mr. Tolano Anderson if he intends on having
families live there and to look at the requirements of the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). Even
though they may not be legally required, try to think of yourself as living there because that is a
fairly stark area. He just requests that they take any families who move in there into
consideration. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Tolano Anderson stated that he would certainly
take that into consideration. They are looking at all of the requirements of the COZ-1 (Corridor
Overlay Zone) as well as some other things that we think would be good for the environment that
would not even be required by the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) just so that this housing
would be good for families and for those who desire to rent there.
Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing
Mary T. Mason - 36 The Green Dover, DE 19901 (Call-in User #6):
Ms. Mason commented that she agrees with it and that it’s a good idea.
Mrs. Maucher after seeing no one else wishing to speak, closed the public hearing.
Mr. Hartman moved to recommend approval to City Council for Application Z-21-02 Lands of
Silver Linings Holdings Corporation at 630 West Division Street based on the submittal and the
fact that it is consistent with the Land Use area, seconded by Mrs. Welsh and the motion was
carried 8-0 by roll call vote. Mr. Hartman voting yes. Mr. Baldwin voting yes. Mrs. Lord voting
yes. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; for reasons stated. Mr. Adams voting yes. Mr. Roach voting yes; he
hopes that this Rezoning will allow the space to be utilized in the manner that it was presented to
us to provide housing for a much needed situation in Dover. Mrs. Malone voting yes; for reasons
stated. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; based on Staff recommendations and she looks forward to a
Site Plan Review.

Item 1.
S-20-10 Bayhealth Staff Parking Lot Expansion at Scull Property (Revision of March 25, 2021) -
Public Hearing and Review of a proposed Site Development Master Plan Application to permit
construction of 453 new parking spaces over the course of three phases for the Bayhealth
Medical Center Campus. This expands the existing parking from 227 spaces to a total of 680
parking spaces on the Scull Property. Phase 1 proposes 251 new parking spaces; Phase 2
proposes 72 new parking spaces; and Phase 3 proposes an additional 91 parking spaces and a
connection to S. State Street at the South Street intersection. The Plan shows the demolition of
existing buildings in each phase for a total of seven (7) buildings demolished including the Scull
Mansion to accommodate the increased volume of parking. The Revision offers a proposal
related to the Scull Mansion. The properties measure 11.43 acres +/- and are located on the east
side of S. State Street in the block between South Street and Scull Terrace. The properties are
zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) and subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection
Overlay Zone). The owners of record are Bayhealth Medical Center, Inc. and KGH Development
Corp. The parcels are proposed to be consolidated before the project begins. Property
Addresses: 605 S. State Street, 625 S. State Street, 100 Scull Terrace, and 150 Scull Terrace. Tax
Parcel Numbers: ED-05-077.13-01-49.00-000 and ED-05-077.13-01-51.00-000. Council District
2. Waiver Requests: Elimination of Upright Curbing and the Elimination/Relocation of Bicycle
Parking. This Application was withdrawn by the applicant from the October 2020 Meeting of the
Planning Commission. A Revision submission dated March 25, 2021 has been received for
review.
Representatives: Mr. Mike Metzing, Bayhealth; Mr. Gregg Moore, Becker Morgan Group; Mr.
Jonathan Street, Becker Morgan Group; Mr. John Van Gorp, Bayhealth
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this application for the project known as the Bayhealth Staff
Parking Lot Expansion at the Scull property which involves the parcels at 605 South State Street,
625 South Street and 100 Scull Terrace. This was originally to be heard by the Planning
Commission in October 2020; however, at that time the applicant requested to defer the public
hearing and consideration of that application. In the intervening months, they have held a number
of meetings and most recently provided a revised submission dated March 25, 2021 that changed
the proposal for what would occur in Phase 1 of the project. This is for a Site Development
Master Plan which allows the Planning Commission to look at a concept in phases for a project;
but in order to commence any individual phase following an approval of a Master Plan, the
applicant is required to submit an Administrative Site Plan for review by Planning Staff and the
technical review agencies before construction can commence. What is shown on the screen is
their Phase 1 Revised. It is a demolition of an existing building known as the Gates Building
which is on the property. It is the kind of a brick Cape Cod building that’s to the north. There is a
variety of maintenance and accessory buildings that are also proposed for demolition in Phase 1.
Phase 1 per their March revision, retains the Scull Mansion building for a period of 18 months
and then the key part of the Phase 1 is the construction of just over 250 parking spaces. These are
an expansion of the parking to the north and surrounding the mansion building. There is some
existing parking in this area but this adds significantly more parking as you move to the north.
Phase 2 of the Site Development Master Plan would demolish what is currently used as the Day
Care Building. That is the property furthest to the east along Scull Terrace and then Phase 3
would demolish the Surgery Center Building that is kind of in the middle of the property and add

additional parking so ultimately a build out of parking on this site. There are a number of details
about their submission that they outlined in the Letter that was attached in the packet describing
their current proposal; and that is the Letter that is dated March 25, 2021. Going back to the
review of the overall Master Plan, as she mentioned, it is a series of phases. There have been in
the past, Master Plans and other development plans for the Bayhealth Complex overall here in
Dover. Those were outlined in the DAC Report just for your reference. From a zoning
perspective, the property is zoned IO (Institutional & Office Zone) and that includes those
medical related buildings and associated parking. There is a portion of the property that falls
within the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone); however, because of the location in
the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area, the property is not subject to what those SWPOZ
(Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) requirements are. As mentioned before, we have a Site
Development Master Plan. This is looking really at the conceptual plan. The much greater details
and full compliance with the Zoning Ordinance on things such as stormwater management and
landscaping would occur through the Administrative Site Plan review process. Regarding
parking in the IO (Institutional & Office Zone), parking is typically based on either a floor area
or an employee count scenario. This parking lot is meant to service the Bayhealth Campus so as
part of this, they are looking to utilize the joint parking facility provisions of our Zoning
Ordinance which allow for the required parking spaces to serve multiple establishments to be
located kind of really in the general area of those establishments. That is further summarized in
the Report that outlines the existing parking facilities for the Bayhealth Medical Center Campus
in Dover. There are a variety of properties along State Street and then further to the west along
Governors Avenue. There is a tally of the parking spaces that are also available for those general
facilities. As part of this project, there typically is a requirement for bicycle parking related to
establishment of any parking areas. This applicant is seeking a Waiver Request to reduce or
relocate some of that bicycle parking on a campus-wide setting. They do note in their
presentation package where the current locations of bicycle parking spaces are on the campus.
Those are more likely found in what they deem as destination locations for the main buildings
rather than at a proposal for parking in an area such as this. The second Waiver Request that they
have is for the partial elimination of upright curbing. This would allow for the elimination of
upright curb in areas that are related to stormwater management practices. In the case of this
waiver, the City Planner can consider the request and those can be looked at in general at this
point and then more specifically through Administrative Site Plan review process. This property
does have a number of environmental related concerns that we do note. The property is adjacent
to the St. Jones River. There are wetland areas where a setback for development is required and
there are also portions that fall into the Special Flood Hazard Area meeting the 1% annual
chance flood or a 100-year floodplain; however, their proposal for the development of the
parking lot is not found in those areas. The project is required to have sidewalks along public
street frontages and that is shown along South State Street. There is also several of what they
would call the interconnection sidewalks that link from street frontage sidewalk and into the
property. The parking lot areas are showing a format for handicapped parking facilities, lighting,
the parking lot islands and some basic information about plans for landscaping for the overall
project. One of the things that is perhaps unique that the Planning Commission has not had to
really deal with before are the provisions related to scenic resources. The Zoning Ordinance in
Article 5, Section 11.25 related to environmental protections notes some scenic resources. In this
case, in addition to what you think of as natural vegetation areas, there is a specific area that is
listed on the National Register of Historic Places and that is the Scull Mansion Building. It is not
7
11

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 19, 2021
Item 1.
within the City of Dover’s local Historic District Zone but it was listed on the National Register
of Historic Places. There are provisions for requiring tree planting related to project activities.
They will have to supply one tree per 3,000 SF of the development area. There are some wooded
areas on the property where no activity is proposed. With this project, there is a third Waiver
Request for elimination of the Opaque Barrier component. An Opaque Barrier is required when a
non-residential use is adjacent to a residential use and that requires both a landscaping
component as well as an Opaque Barrier in the form of either a fence, wall, or berm component.
They are seeking relief from that Opaque Barrier component. The northern property line of the
parcels involved here shares a common property line with the series of residences that are along
Elm Terrace. So, it is along the north property line where we find the need for that Opaque
Barrier requirement. The DAC Report includes the comments from the Planning Office as well
as our other participating agencies including the Department of Public Works, the Department of
Water and Wastewater, the Electric Department, the Office of the Fire Marshal and DelDOT. A
couple of things that she wants to highlight for Commission members is in the DAC Report,
there is the Section VIII which is “Recommendations Suggested as Conditions of Approval.”
There you will find the Staff Recommendations regarding the three Waiver Requests. We are
recommending approval of the partial elimination of curbing but note that it should be further
evaluated during the Administrative Site Plan review process. For the relocation or elimination
of bicycle parking, Staff is noting that they could consider the number of spaces and relocating
some of them. But they do suggest that they continue to be made available in this area because
there are existing buildings that will continue to be in this project site during the initial phases.
Staff also recommends approval of the elimination of the Opaque Barrier component. That
Opaque Barrier, implementation of a fence wall or berm, would likely have minimal impact
because of the significant topography changes that occur on the northern portion of the site
related to the land in that area. There is also an existing wooded area that can partially account
for the required landscaping for those areas. The other comments that we have are concern with
what are vehicular and pedestrian connections. This is a significant amount of parking that will
likely serve something that is across South State Street in general. They recommend that there be
a careful analysis of that intersection of Scull Terrace and South State Street to make sure the
appropriate crossing and pedestrian elements are in place and that any impacts with the increased
number of vehicles utilizing that intersection is appropriately accounted for in that area. We do
need to make sure that there continues to be accessible routes because you are providing
handicapped parking facilities and that they can reach their ultimate destination. In regards to the
scenic resources consideration with the Scull Mansion being listed on the National Register of
Historic Places, Planning Staff did make some recommendations to encourage consideration of
making adaptive use of that building and retaining it in place. It noted some of the opportunities
that may exist for things like tax credits. If in fact demolition is the ultimate result of the
building, Staff does suggest that the information gathering that can be deemed from adequate
recordation and documentation before the removal of the building. There are methods to do that
and to consider any other mitigation should the building be demolished that can relate to
information of its presence and previous existence on the landscape. In some places they have
seen things such as informational waysides and other types of things too. They do note that there
is extensive stormwater management just for this parking lot that would be necessary and there
are also known drainage issues in the area near the intersection of South Street. Meeting House
Branch, also known as the Tar Ditch, is a pipe situation. It outfalls along and through portions of
this property in route to the St. Jones River. That is a known drainage issue that a number of
8
12
Paj 13
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 19, 2021
Item 1.
agencies have been involved in thinking about strategies for helping with. We do, on a landscape
perspective, recommend that some shrub plantings be implemented along the western edge of the
proposed parking lot to help mitigate the view of this from South State Street. This (landscaping)
is very much the character of the area; there is a significant amount of trees and you are moving
into the historic grid of the City. They think there is an opportunity for landscaping to try to
maintain some of that character even though there is a parking lot behind it. For Planning
Commission members, this is a Site Development Master Plan. We do have three Waivers for
your consideration, those being the partial elimination of curbing which is something that Staff
can issue, the elimination or relocation of bicycle parking, the elimination of the Opaque Barrier
component and recognizing that they are utilizing the joint parking facilities provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance. There is a number of information materials in addition to their plans that they
submitted and she will refer to the other exhibit sets of public comments and correspondence as
part of the public hearing on this application.
Mr. Hartman stated that in Section VIII of the original DAC Report, the recommendation for the
Waiver Request concerning the elimination of curbing specifically says that Staff grants approval
of the Waiver Request. Was that a mistake? Does the Commission really need to consider this or
is this approval already been granted? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated
that Staff has the ability to grant that Waiver Request. In the past, it has been something that the
Planning Commission was the authority on. We tend to keep it in the Waiver Request seven
though it is something that the Planning Staff can and in this case, has granted approval to. She
thinks that their comments reserve the fact that the more detailed review will also occur with the
Administrative Site Plan submission as drainage details are more better known and described.
Mr. Moore stated that they have a brief presentation to go over to make sure everyone
understands what they are proposing. They were actually scheduled to be before the Planning
Commission for a hearing last Fall. They were hearing a number of different commentary from
neighboring groups, the Friends of Old Dover and some of the people who live around the
hospital so they decided to be good neighbors and table their application. The slide shown
documents the five different sets of meetings that they had with a combination of the Friends of
Old Dover. They have presentations, discussions and follow-up meetings and they had a separate
meeting with the people who live on Elm Terrace who are directly adjacent to us as well as a
meeting with Holy Cross Church and their building and grounds people to make sure that
everybody understood the application and to listen to them as to the various issues that were
raised and how they could modify their plans and work with the neighbors. There are a couple of
letters from various groups. He knows that Holy Cross Church has provided a letter to the City
supporting the plan. He thinks that there is a letter from the Friends of Old Dover also making
support for the plan and acknowledging all of the meetings.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that all of the correspondence and various letters have been
provided to the Planning Commission as a series of exhibits. She will make reference to those
during the public hearing process.
Mr. Moore stated that they also met with City Staff, some City Council members and the City
Manager so they were very complete in listening to the various constituents and they acted
accordingly. The aerial slide shows the Kent Campus Hospital. You can see over South Street,
9

Item 1.
the bridge. Notice that there is a large parking lot next to the bridge and that is currently where
Staff parks. You will see that the separation of the Scull property from the Historic District is on
the adjacent edge but this property and the hospital property is not in the City’s Historic District.
The blue area shows the location of the Scull property and notice that to its south is the full
complex of the Holy Cross Church and School. He wants to note that the Holy Cross Church and
School actually share the Scull Terrace entrance with the hospital. It is owned by the hospital,
but they have granted rights of access to the Holy Cross Complex. They (Holy Cross) also have
rights to the parking facilities that are on this property so this is actually a dual parking facility.
In meetings that he held with the church, they are very covenant of parking because they need
more. As a result, they are very supportive of the added parking that they will get to benefit from
on this lot. The next slide shows Bayhealth Kent Campus on the left and Phase 4 which is the
future tower that was approved years ago as a ten story tower. Right now it is about four stories
and you can see the new main entrance to the hospital that was built a number of years ago. On
the opposite side of South Street is the Tar Ditch infrastructure and the red line on the slide is
actually a drainage pipe that drains about 1,000 acres of the City of Dover area that covers much
of DelDOT properties and covers all properties back to Greentree. It is a very sophisticated
system and is community owned. It is partly owned by City of Dover and partly by DelDOT and
it just so happens to go through this property and the hospital. The original plans that the hospital
had was to erect a parking garage on this property (on South Street) you can see to the far right,
in the hook of that red line which is basically on top of the Tar Ditch system, that is eventually
where they would like to put a parking garage but knowing that if they did that it would block
the line, they actually can’t do that. They have been working with the City, State and the
Legislature to fund the completion of the Tar Ditch design which the City has undergone. It is
quite costly; so it is not as simple as just moving ahead and that has actually caused them not to
be able to implement the parking garage on that area. The reason that the Tar Ditch line needs to
be updated is because this area is prone to flooding and it floods at high levels of rain. The blue
area on the aerial is showing where that flooding covers so you can see a number of our parking
areas are covered and impacted. They work around that and they have made that work. But there
has been some property damage but they continue to work with the City and hope that the City
and the State can come together and change that plan. There are a number of reasons why they
need additional parking. Back when the City’s Code was created, the number of beds in a
hospital were the key to the parking. He believes that the Code requires one or two parking spots
per bed. Actually, what’s been happening in the medical world in hospitals is that bed counts are
actually not increasing as the community grows but what is increasing is the large number of
outpatient procedures, testing, diagnostics, etc. that happen at the hospital. A lot more drivers
come up to the hospital to use those daily services and that means that we need more parking. In
addition to that, the hospital and Bayhealth in general (both Milford and Dover) have been
approved to become a GME teaching hospital facility. That is a big deal to Dover because it will
heighten Bayhealth’s advantage in terms of bringing new doctors and practitioners to our area.
These young doctors can come to Bayhealth Kent Campus and be trained and be in an internship
program. Our hope is that they get more doctors to relocate to Dover and Kent County so that
they can get better coverage of our community for general practitioning. That is bringing more
parking because we have more instructors, we have more administrators and we have more
doctors who will actually come here as interns and as complete doctors to take care of our
community. That is leading to the demand for more parking. This is a new program that has just
been approved in the last 12 months so that explains one of the other reasons why we need some
10
14
Paj 15
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 19, 2021
Item 1.
additional parking. The next slide shows the aerial of the actual Scull Terrace entrance and at the
bottom on the screen you can see Holy Cross and the parking that is already there and it is
significant. You can also see the existing structures are on the property. In the buildout of this, all
of those structures would be removed by phases. You can also see the very dense vegetation that
exists around the edges of their parking facility. Their goal is to leave as much of that, if not all
of it, so that it is a good barrier for people on Elm Terrace. Not only is there a separation with the
trees but there is also a very significant ravine. In that ravine is a tremendous amount of City of
Dover infrastructure; both water, sewer and storm drain infrastructure that the City has just made
some major upgrades to. Most all of that land to the north of the parking facility is lands that by
easement are controlled by the City of Dover. The need for that infrastructure is important to
everybody in our community and we are not going to be touching those facilities. That is the
main reason why they are asking for the waiver; they do not want those facilities that the City of
Dover needs for water, sewer and storm drainage to be impacted by a fence. They don’t believe
any other way than landscaping and the natural barriers make any sense. You can see where the
100, 150 and 200 each go and that they do have significant distances from residents so they do
have good separation with the natural trees, the ravine and the distance. They think it allows a
good reason for the Opaque Barrier to be granted a waiver. You can also see here the Phases.
Phase 1 is the largest phase of parking and they need that quickly to meet their demands. In the
red, you can see as part of them listening to the community, they are not going to demolish the
Scull Mansion in Phase 1. They are going to continue to work with, talk to, and negotiate with
the Friends of Old Dover to try to come up with an amenable plan to save that building. Those
meetings have already occurred and they are going to continue that. They are basically saying
that for 18 months they will leave that building there and not put parking in that area and they
will continue to work with the Friends of Old Dover. One of their options is to move the building
and erect it on another parcel; hopefully in the Historic District. There are other options that they
are talking to the Friends of Old Dover about. You can see that Phases 3 and 2 are actually
demolition of two existing structures. One is the Child Care facility in the east and the second in
Phase 3 is the Surgery Center. Those phases are actually likely more than five years out because
they have to find adequate facilities on the campus for those two uses. We are in the process of
beginning to do that so those buildings would stay until adequate replacements were found; most
likely on the main campus before that would be converted to parking. He mentioned the
agreement with Holy Cross. He mentioned that the agreement includes the entrance off of Scull
Terrace which provides them full access to their northern campus. As you all know, they do have
a sanctuary and a church school and that parking is essential for both of those functions. This
expansion is going to help benefit the church. They plan to relocate their staff parking to this
parking facility and that will have a better control system and the people who are going to be
walking down Scull Terrace, crossing South State Street, and using the current lighted facility
that allows access into the hospital. They believe that it is safer to allow their staff to do that
because it is in control. They believe that they are going to be better by working with Holy
Cross. It is going to be clearer to them to cross at a safe location at South Street where that light
is. In the future, they would like to see a lighted intersection at South Street but that is up to
DelDOT and that would allow easy passage at a full four-point intersection and a safer crossing
into the main entrance to the hospital along South Street.
The next slide shows the parking within the Phase 1 limits and again in red, you can see that they
are leaving Scull Mansion and their commitment is to continue to work with the Friends of Old

Dover for 18 months. They are also willing to help them fund the moving of that structure and
those talks are going on with John Van Gorp leading that from the hospital. They are also
agreeable to what the City Staff is outlining in terms of making sure that we document that
building and perhaps even making some of the historical monuments for it if in fact we do end
up having to take that building down.
The next slide shows the actual build-out of the that parking facility. They have also committed
as part of our letter to the City and to our neighbors that we are going to do an extensive
landscaping plan along our western border and along our neighbors to both sides so that we have
a very soft impression and a very aesthetically pleasing entry into the City. That is something
that Bayhealth wants as much as the Friends of Old Dover. That is something that has come up
in a number of these meetings. They are committed to an enhanced landscape plan that actually
comes to the City Planning Staff with their individual plans for each phase that they would
review as part of the Construction Master Plan. We are using the Construction Master Plan
because of the phasing. We have a number of buildings that are being demolished over time. We
have a number of phases of parking because of the nature under which we have to replace the
buildings that are there.
Mr. Van Gorp stated that he doesn’t necessarily have a formal statement to make other than the
information that was presented by Mr. Moore is reflective of our plans. They have had very
successful discussions with the Friends of Old Dover trying to come up with ways to meet their
competing objectives. Obviously, those discussions continue but they are committed to try to
come up with some sort of resolution here over the course of the next 18 months that tries to
satisfy the needs for both parties. He should also share that the hospital is looking at some master
planning for the hospital. Mr. Moore mentioned a few of the things that we need this parking for.
They do plan on looking at other expansions for the hospital to modernize and to move to
significantly more private rooms, all of which kind of points in the direction for quick growth
and the need for additional parking.
Mr. Hartman questioned if the construction of this parking lot and the impervious surfaces
contribute to the flooding of the parking lot along South Street? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr.
Moore stated no. They have done an extensive study of the problems that are associated with the
Tar Ditch. What happens is that there is a large slug of water that comes from the west side of
Dover. They have worked with both DNREC and the Kent Conservation District and the City.
What ends up happening here is that this water actually gets out and into the piping systems for
stormwater management and then into the St. Jones before that large slug of water comes from
the west. That is because that system goes so far back so many miles back and that extended
amount of water and the flooding comes from that larger area that is upstream. This will not
contribute to that flooding at all. They will still have to meet their demand for stormwater
management; and they can do that and have done that successfully at the hospital without
increasing any of that flooding.
Mr. Hartman stated that they have all seen the problems and they realize how difficult it can be.
Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Moore stated that one of the things that the hospital did was
paid for a very expensive study that was used partly for the design that the City did for fixing this
problem. That design is about 75-80% complete. They are very hopeful that that work can be

completed and allows us to do other things on the property.
Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing.
Mrs. Melson-Williams referenced the series of public comments and correspondence that the
Planning Office has received dating back to October 2020 in regards to this project. Some of
them are kind of repeat letters as discussions occurred if you kind of read them in chronological
order. These were provided to the Planning Commissioners as Exhibit Sets 1-4. Exhibit Set 4
was actually emailed to the Commissioners this afternoon. Exhibit Set 1 consists of a Letter from
the Friends of Old Dover (also known as the Dover Historical Society) that was received on
October 5, 2020. The second one is an Email from Nathan Attard dated October 9, 2020 with an
attached copy of a Letter that was sent to Terrence Murphy, the CEO of Bayhealth. That Letter
includes what was at that time, a listing of petitioners in support of that Letter which was
expressing concerns about the future of the Scull Mansion. There was a significant amount of
signees on that petition and she believes that it grew over time. Exhibit Set 2 consists of a Letter
from the Mayor Robin R. Christiansen dated October 15, 2020. It is a Letter in support of the
project to the Planning Commission, again noting the economic development and the needs for
Bayhealth as a public health facility here in Dover. The second item on that public comment was
an Email from Karen Horton dated October 18, 2020; and she noted her opposition to the
demolition of the Scull Mansion and also notes about the gateway location of this property. She
was encouraging an alternative solution. Exhibit Set 3 is some correspondence received. The first
being a Letter from the Friends of Old Dover to John Van Gorp that was dated January 5, 2021.
The Letter was copied to the Planning Director, so they included it. It is noting some information
about the Scull Mansion property and them wanting to have conversations with Bayhealth about
its future. The second is a Letter from the Friends of Old Dover to the Bayhealth Board of
Directors Facilities Committee dated March 19, 2021. It notes their concern and the status of
where things stood at that point in time with the Friends and their concerns with the Scull
Mansion property. Exhibit Set 4 was correspondence received basically within the last week
here. It was a Letter from the Friends of Old Dover to the Bayhealth Board of Directors dated
April 13, 2021. It was received in the Planning Office for distribution to the Planning
Commission on April 15, 2021. It notes their ongoing conversations that the Friends of Old
Dover had with Bayhealth. It notes that they will not object to the application and they are
continuing to work with Bayhealth in regards to the Scull Mansion property. It also does note the
concerns about flooding, the concerns about preservation in Dover in general and they hope to
continue to work with Bayhealth in a good faith effort to find a resolution in regards to this
property. The second piece of correspondence is a Letter from the Pastor of the Holy Cross
Church located at 631 South State Street dated February 10, 2021. It notes the interest of the
Holy Cross property, the expansion of parking opportunities, and that they had no fundamental
objections to this planned upgrading of the adjacent neighboring property.
Mr. Richard Kosior – 12 Elm Terrace Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Kosior stated that he lives along the northern boundary of the Bayhealth property. He would
like to recognize the efforts of Bayhealth and Mr. Moore for reaching out to at least the residents
on Elm Terrace and listening to our concerns regarding the expansion of the parking lot. He
understands that the hospital is growing and the area is growing; and there is a need for increased
parking especially with the flooding issues with the existing employee parking lot there on South
Street. No employee should have to walk through a half a foot of water to get to work. His
13
17
Paj 18
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 19, 2021
Item 1.
concern is with the request for a Waiver for the Opaque Barrier; not so much about the removal
of the fence but the landscaping issues. He does understand that the landscaping is to be retained
and it is mentioned in the application packet that the existing trees will be preserved or retained.
He just does not see a comment that with the storm that came through last year, a number of
those trees have since been removed due to damage from the storm. They also had a sewer
project which the City of Dover just completed within the last few months. They had two
approximately sixty-foot bald cypress trees that had to be removed to allow for construction on
repairing that sewer line. So that further reduced some screens that they had between them and
the proposed parking lot. What really concerns him though is in Phase 1 of the Site Plan,
specifically Chart 201 in the packet, they show pictorially where the trees are located along the
northern boundary there; but when you get to Phase 3, the Landscaping Plan L101, a lot of those
trees are removed to make way for the entrance which will be built at the intersection at South
Street. He knows that they do include some trees along the inside perimeter of that entrance way.
But again, you are talking a significant area there which would be lighted and their concern is the
light pollution resulting from all of that construction and all of the parking spaces. Has there
been a Traffic Impact Study regarding putting a light there at that proposed intersection? Anyone
who travels down State Street in the morning or afternoon is well aware that traffic on that road
is horrible at best. There is the Holy Cross School in the mornings along with South Dover
Elementary just down the street contributing to traffic, not to mention all of the employees in that
morning commute. His concern is that putting a light there would just further compound the
traffic issues that already exist.
Mr. James Dinkuhn – 22 Elm Terrace Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Dinkuhn stated that Mr. Kosior took the words right out of his mouth. With the situation
with Phase 3 that looks like an extension of South Street, he was wondering if that was going to
interfere with the tree line that they are proposing to keep.
Mr. Moore stated that with the hospital and its enhanced landscaping plan, any trees that they do
take out; they will plant additional trees so that they create a buffer of landscaping along that
entire Elm Terrace back facility. Yes, there are a couple of trees that will come out as part of that
final Phase 3 and they believe that it is more than five years out. Number one, because they have
to find locations for those two buildings; and number two, they have a lot of work to do with the
Department of Transportation with a Traffic Impact Study, impacts on the street and the
discussion associated with lighted intersections. So that is the reason that they believe that Phase
3 is so far out. They have done some initial studies. They do believe that a light there can
actually help some of the problems that the Holy Cross Church is having because it actually
allows a stoppage of the flow of traffic and that will allow some direct movement into the Scull
Terrace entrance for people going into the school. Those discussions and those studies will be
enhanced as they move into the DelDOT and the final phase. They are willing to replant trees
and large trees along that border to provide that buffer and they will remove as little as possible.
Mary T. Mason - 36 The Green Dover, DE 19901
Ms. Mason stated that she does appreciate all of the meetings that they have had with Bayhealth.
The Friends of Old Dover are very happy that they have another 18 months to get more
information and try to find a solution so that they can hopefully preserve that house and that
Bayhealth can have the parking that they need. They have talked to several movers and there
14

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 19, 2021
Item 1.
does not seem to be an option that they can relocate Scull Mansion. In the conversations that they
have, they are going to have to figure out something else. It seems like if they can’t move it and
it’s preserved at the location that it is now.
Ms. Ellen Richardson – 35 Fairway Court Dover, DE 19901
Ms. Richardson is a member of the Friends of Old Dover. They seriously question the ability of
the estuary to absorb the additional runoff of stormwater that will occur. It is very clear that the
additional parking is needed because the flood zone has not been corrected in Downtown Dover.
If that had been corrected, Bayhealth could build their parking garage. As Ms. Mason said, they
would like to make it very clear that the building cannot be moved. So, although Bayhealth has
given them a grace period of 18 months to figure out how to move it, they have already checked
with several building movers and the building cannot be moved due to the utilities, the age of the
building, the structure of the building and so forth. Finally, on the destruction of the Downtown
historical properties, she would be looking to the Planning Commission to preserve their
historical heritage for Dover. She would certainly hope that the Planning Commission is not
looking to destroy our historical heritage.
Mr. Nathan Attard – 452 East Loockerman Street Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Attard stated that he wanted to echo the comments that Ms. Mason made earlier. He is the
Dover citizen who petitioned to save the Scull Mansion which did get more than 400 signatures
and we are very proud of that. He thinks that it’s evidence of the really immense importance that
house has in our community. You can also see that in the Letter that was submitted by the Mayor
about the value and the house in the community. It is something that many people very much
admired growing up and throughout the years. He is grateful to Bayhealth for their intervention
here. They could have continued this application in October 2020 and faced a number of angry
citizens, but they did take the time to talk to them and he really appreciates that. He thinks that it
is a strong benefit to our community to have these types of discussions and he is grateful,
especially for John Van Gorp for leading that process. It is a solution that he can support. He has
been working with the Friends of Old Dover and he is very grateful for their effort; it is just not
any sort of optimal solution. As Ms. Richardson pretty eloquently said, this is a house that they
have been told cannot move. There are limitations around the City of Dover; the width of State
Street and the bridge that goes over South Street. It would really be challenging to get it
anywhere than the current location and land demands in that area are very challenging. It really
speaks to challenges that they are facing in implementing their Historic Preservation program in
the City of Dover. They had a building on the National Register of Historic Places that was one
parcel away from being in the City’s Historic District. It should have been something that was
considered over the years. Historic is necessarily the grand historic buildings like the Scull
Mansion. The National Park Service considers buildings 50 years or older to potentially be
eligible for a listing on the National Register of Historic Places for contributing to the Historic
District. We have many of those around town including many buildings further south than the
Scull Mansion. It’s not that the Historic District just ends there; it continues south on State
Street. He really hopes that they can use this as a lesson in the City of Dover that we really need
to be more robust in the way we deal with historic preservation and that we consider hiring a
Preservation Planner; someone whose job is dedicated to this to work with people like Bayhealth
so that we don’t end up in situations like this in the future. He would really like to emphasis the
optimal solution here is really for the City to take the lead in trying to deal with the target issue.

If we dealt with this effectively, we wouldn’t be in this situation, we wouldn’t be building
parking here, and the neighbors on Elm Terrace wouldn’t have to deal with this. It is just a real
challenge and as we face threats of things like climate change, the flooding and Tar Ditch is only
getting worse. The runoff from this lot could potentially contribute in the future with stronger
storms and stuff.
Ms. Ann Horsey – 7 The Green Dover, DE 19901
Ms. Horsey does not have a statement. She thinks that everything that she was thinking has
already been said by the previous speakers. They are really out there looking to work to get to a
solution to save Scull Mansion.
Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing.
Mrs. Welsh stated that she has a lot of emotion for historical issues as far as architecture and
things go. She applauds Bayhealth for their ability and their foresight to work with the Friends of
Old Dover. She also applauds the Friends of Old Dover for seeing the point of view of
Bayhealth. Both organizations have legitimate issues that they are working towards. She thinks
back on when she was a child. She always rode past the Scull Mansion many times and it always
gave her a feeling of pride that we had places like that here that were preserved. She thinks about
places like Rome where the Coliseum is situated in and around the middle of the city; they built
around it. She just thinks that maybe we could, having heard the comments that the Mansion
cannot be moved, is there the possibility to retain the Mansion in its present location and build
around it. It wouldn’t be as ideal being in the middle of a parking lot as it is in a grass land area
that it now occupies but it would still be part of our history. We have some time to deal with that
issue; and it is just a thought for people to consider.
Mrs. Lord stated that she comes from northern Virginia. When she was a little girl northern
Virginia was just farms and historic houses and a very rural area. If any of you have been down
there any time in the past 20 years, you have seen that it is no longer that; it is an extension of
Washington D.C. There have been many beautiful historic properties just paved over with little
to no regard to historic significance. She is not saying that Bayhealth is doing this. When she
read the packet, she was under the impression that the Mansion could be moved. It was
surprising to her to hear that is cannot. She would caution Dover against going the way of
northern Virginia in just demolishing whatever gets in the way because it is regretful when you
look back on what has been lost.
Mr. Hartman stated that he would like to thank Mrs. Welsh for what she said about Bayhealth for
working with the Friends of Old Dover and the Elm Terrace residents to try to come up with a
solution. He agrees that a solution will be difficult to come up with. He is not one to destroy
Dover heritage or anything like that, but this group needs to recognize how important and vidal
Bayhealth is to Dover and to the region. Let’s recognize the historic value of Scull Mansion but
let’s also recognize the economic, social and medical importance of Bayhealth and where it is
located and their legal rights to the property they own.
Mrs. Welsh stated that she agrees with Mr. Hartman’s comments. She thinks Bayhealth is a
valuable asset to the community as well and she agrees that they have the legal right to do what
16

they need to with the property. She is just pointing out that there are other “emotional” issues
that people have with historical properties and our heritage in the community. As the First State,
it has always been a matter of pride with Dover residents that we have places like The Green.
they are being very proactive with allowing the project to do forward and make provisions to do
something with the Mansion. So, she just hopes that we can do something to preserve everything
for the future of the City. She applauds both organizations, Bayhealth and the Friends of Old
Dover for seeing the opposite sides. She believes that both of them are taking into consideration,
the goals of each organization and that we are all looking forward to making Dover, itself a
better community. That is all of our goals and she thinks that they can do that.
Mr. Hartman stated that if the past year have reminded him of anything; it’s how to make hard
choices for the public good. He thinks that this might come to be one of those choices.
Mr. Adams stated that he heard Mr. Moore mention their intention to replace those trees and
plant trees along the roadway that would come into play with Phase 3. Could Mr. Moore speak a
little bit more about that in light of the comments made by the residents of Elm Terrace and their
concerns relative to having a barrier there between the rear of their properties and this property?
Responding to Mr. Adams, Mr. Moore stated that yes, they will replant more trees than they
removed. They will do substantial sizes of plants, that is part of their commitment in their letter
to enhance the landscaping that is required. They believe that there is a safety issue with erecting
an opaque fence on a ravine that is about 25 feet in depth. As water goes down that ravine as it
does naturally, it will get caught by the fence and it will stop that water and cause it to run in
different directions causing an unnatural swell. He can tell you that he has had conversations
with the City of Dover Public Works Department and they agree with him that the Opaque
Barrier is not a safe way to screen and that landscaping is a better way. The landscaping does
help uptake some of the water as well as gives the barrier both sound and visual. As a
professional, he can tell you that it is the way to go and that is what they are committed to.
Mr. Adams moved to approve S-20-10 Bayhealth Staff Parking Lot Expansion at Scull Property
(Revision of March 25, 2021) including the waiver for the partial elimination of curbing, the
elimination or relocation of bicycle parking, and the elimination of the Opaque Barrier
component and the DAC Report and the addendum to it that was prepared, seconded by Mrs.
Malone and the motion was carried 7-1 by roll call vote with Dr. Jones absent. Mr. Adams
voting yes; he thinks situations like this are always tough, but he thinks that Bayhealth is
working with the Friends of Old Dover and the neighbors. He thinks that they will continue the
work; it won’t end tonight. Mr. Roach voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs. Malone
voting yes; for reasons stated. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on the original DAC Report and
the Addendum comments. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; based on reasons previously stated. Mrs. Lord
voting no; she is upset that we will be losing Scull Mansion. Like she said, she has watched it
happen and it’s a sad thing. She applauds Bayhealth for working as hard as they can to work
with the Friends of Old Dover. But at the end of the day, we are going to lose that house. She
lives on the 200 block of State Street next to Wesley. She has heard from a number of her
neighbors who have lived here for a long time and they are very upset about losing Scull
Mansion; so, she is speaking for the people who live around her. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; she has
a lot of faith in Bayhealth and Becker Morgan Group. Becker Morgan Group always does their
homework, they are very thorough, and she believes that they will work with the Friends of Old

Dover. She understands the situation where they say that they cannot move the house but to her,
that doesn’t mean that it is the end of the road because there are always possibilities. She
believes that they can work together and come to a solution that will benefit all of our pride in
Dover. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; based on the DAC Report and the Addendum and she also
echoes the other concerns. She thinks that there is a time period that is baked into this and there
are other options to be investigated on what to do to try to preserve. Unfortunately, there was a
perfect storm of ill events that have led us to where we are, but she thinks that the parties are
working together to move forward.

APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY
D.A.C. MEETING DATE: May 5, 2021
APPLICATION: Annexation of Lands of Edward C. and Joan N. Larrivee at 115 Fox Hall Drive
FILE #: AX-21-02 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning
CONTACT PERSON: Julian Swierczek, AICP, Planner I PHONE #: (302) 736-7196
I. Summary
This application is for the Annexation and Rezoning of the property at 115 Fox Hall Drive,
Dover. It is a parcel of land totaling 1.131 acres. The owners of record are Edward C. and Joan
N. Larrivee. Tax Parcel: ED-00-076.05-01-01.00-000.
II. Existing Property
The property is located on the north side of the west end of Fox Hall Drive. Fox Hall Drive
connects to Kenton Road about 1600 feet to the east of the subject property. The boundary of the
City of Dover surrounds the subject parcel on the north and west sides.
The property includes an existing single-family dwelling. The property is currently zoned RS-1
(Residential Single Family Zone) in Kent County. The owner would like to make improvements
to the house and consequently connect to City of Dover Utilities. The City of Dover does not
allow for the provision of City Services for properties outside its jurisdiction, prompting the
Petition on the part of the owners to be annexed into the City.
III. Surrounding Land Uses
To the west and north of the property (within City of Dover City limits) may be found the
Subdivision of Fox Hall West which contains primarily single-family dwellings on somewhat
smaller (as compared to the subject property) sized lots. The property immediately adjacent to
the north is zoned R-15 (One-Family Residence Zone) yet remains undeveloped and is primarily
wooded. Along the eastern property line is another property zoned RS-1 in Kent County, and
again containing another one-family detached dwelling (single-family home). Immediately
abutting the subject property to the south is the continued right-of way for Fox Hall Drive which
remains largely unimproved/ wooded west of the access drive to the subject property.
IV. Comprehensive Plan
In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Potential Annexation Areas (Map 13 -1) identifies the
property in the Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas. The Growth and Annexation Plan
Chapter (Chapter 13) notes that “Lands in this category are primarily enclaves of unincorporated
territory mostly surrounded by the City of Dover. In all or most of these cases, the City provides
these parcels with one or more essential service (sewer, water, police, fire, trash).” For Category
1: High Priority Annexation Areas, it notes in the Recommendations that “the City will not

DAC Report of May 5, 2021
Page 2
extend sewer and/or water infrastructure to Category 1 areas unless the property owners annex
into the City” with consideration given for issues of health, safety and welfare.
The Comprehensive Plan also sets the review criteria for the review of zoning for parcels being
proposed for annexation. Chapter 13, page 13-9 notes that the Zoning Review may include:
• Proposed zoning be in compliance with the land use category shown on Map 13-2 and used
in conjunction with Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix;
• Character and compatibility of the surrounding land uses and properties;
• The street type and capacity serving the property;
• Environmental concerns and conditions that may influence land use and zoning;
• Market concerns and conditions;
• The compatibility with the overall goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
Map 13-2: Potential Land Use for Annexation Areas identifies the Land Use for this property to
be Residential Low Density.
As part of the Land Development Plan, Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix specifies that the
following zones are compatible with this Land Use Classification of Residential Low Density.
R-20 (One Family Residence)
R-15 (One Family Residence)
R-10 (One Family Residence)
R-8 (One Family Residence)
R-7 (One Family Residence)

VI. Recommendation of Planning Staff:
Staff recommends the annexation of the property at 115 Fox Hall Drive and its rezoning to
R-20 (One Family Residence Zone) be approved as submitted. The subject property is in the
City’s Annexation Plan of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan as Category 1: High Priority
Annexation Areas with a Land Use Classification as Residential Low Density. The R-20 zoning
is consistent with the development in the area and is consistent with the Land Use Classification
of Residential Low Density. The R-20 zoning is appropriate for the current use of the property as
a single-family dwelling and is compatible with neighboring zoning.
This recommendation is being made without the benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding
landowners and residents. A Public Hearing is required on this matter and the Planning
Commission should give those comments consideration. The parcel also meets the minimum lot
dimensions of 120 ft. wide by 150 ft. deep for a parcel zoned R-20 and will have no issue
meeting other bulk requirements.
VII. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT
1) From the agency comments received, it appears that ability to provide City water and sewer
is feasible due to the proximity to existing infrastructure with Fox Hall Drive. It would be the
property owner’s responsibility to cover all costs associated with extending and providing
services to the existing dwelling.
2) Upon annexation into the City of Dover, the property will be subject to the provisions of the
Dover Code of Ordinances. This includes procedures such as review processes for plans and
permits for construction activities, etc.
3) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any Annexation & Rezoning application does
not represent a Building Permit or other construction activity permit approval. A separate
application submission showing all improvements is required before issuance of permits by
the City of Dover.
4) Regarding connection to City services (water and/or sanitary sewer) the applicant must
contact the City’s Department of Water & Wastewater for procedures, permitting and impact
fees.
If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the above
contact person and the Planning Office as soon as possible.

CONTACT PERSON: Dawn Melson-Williams, AICP PHONE #: (302) 736-7196
I. PLAN SUMMARY
This Application is the Review of a Minor Subdivision Plan to subdivide a property consisting of
7.3386 acres +/- into two parcels (Lot 1 and Lot 2). Lot 1 is to be 3.5429 acres+/- and
encompasses the east side of the property including an access easement area extending from the
northern stub of Ridgely Street. Lot 1 only has a street frontage of 40.12 feet on Ridgely Street.
Lot 2 is to be 3.7957 acres+/- and encompasses the western residual portion of the property with
frontage on Ridgely Street and on unimproved segment of Fulton Street. The subject property is
located at the terminus of Ridgely Street and north of Fulton Street. The property is zoned IPM
(Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone). The owner of record is Fountainview, LLC c/o Morgan
Shank. Property Address: 100 Ridgely Street. Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-076.08-01-01.01-000.
Council District 4.
Previous Applications
The property was the subject of several applications for site development included S-08-43
Warehouse Storage Buildings on Lands of Ridgely Street, LCC and S-00-19 Contractors Office
& Storage Building on Lands of Bandurski; both plans are expired.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION – Minor Subdivision
This Minor Subdivision Plan proposes to subdivide the property into two lots. See the following
Table for summary of the lots.
Site Proposed Acreage Area
Lot 1 3.5429 acres East side of property including access easement
area extending north from Ridgely Street
Lot 2 3.7957 acres West side of property including wooded areas
and wetlands
TOTAL 7.3386 acres
The existing configuration of the terminus of Ridgely Street and the existing access easement
that continues north divide this tract of land into two pieces. This Minor Subdivision will
formalize the division into two parcels allowing for future development on each side of the
access easement which includes also a number of existing utility lines.

III. SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS REVIEW
The procedures for subdivision of land are found in the Land Subdivision Regulations. Planning
Staff confirms this application as a Minor Subdivision. Therefore, the Planning Commission may
find the application is subject to one public hearing and review for action by the Planning
Commission followed by the administrative process to complete the Final Plat for recordation.
In order to subdivide the property, the plan review must ensure that the subdivision does not
create any non-conformities with the bulk standards of the Zoning Ordinance. These bulk
standards include minimum lot size, front yard setbacks, side yard setbacks, rear yard setbacks,
floor area ratio, etc. See also discussion below under Zoning Review.
Subdivision Waiver Requested: Reduction of Required Lot Frontage Width on a Public Street
The IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone – Conventional Planned) requires a Lot Width of
200 feet. As proposed, the Minor Subdivision Plan would create a lot (Lot 1) with a limited Lot
Width and Frontage on a public street. In the Subdivision Waiver Request submitted by the
applicant, the applicant discusses the Lot Width/Frontage for Lot 1 at a width of 40.12 feet at the
northern terminus of Ridgely Street and the provisions for access to Lot 1 from the street
terminus via an existing easement. The proposed Lot 2 has frontage of over 122 feet on Ridgely
Street and frontage of approximately 340 feet along the unimproved Fulton Street.
The purpose of the requirement for frontage on a public street is to ensure access to lots created.
The bulk standards such a Lot Width are to ensure appropriate sizing of the property for
development activity. According to the Land Subdivision Regulations, Article VI. Subdivision
General Requirements and Design Standards, Section E. Lots:
1. Lot width, depth, shape and orientation, and the building setback lines shall be appropriate
for the location of the subdivision, for the type of development and for the use contemplated.
2. Lot sizes shall conform to the requirements of the zoning ordinance.
3. Depth and width of properties reserved or laid out for commercial and industrial purposes
shall be adequate to comply with the off-street parking and loading requirements contained in
the zoning ordinance.
5. All lots in a subdivision shall have frontage on a public street.
According to the Land Subdivision Regulations, Article VII. Special Provisions, Section A.
Variance and Waiver:
1. Upon the findings of the commission that, due to special conditions peculiar to a
subdivision or a site, certain requirements of these regulations are inappropriate, or that
strict compliance with said requirements may cause extraordinary and unnecessary
hardships, the commission may recommend to the city council, and the city council may
vary or waive said requirements, provided that such variance or waiver shall not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare, or have the effect of nullifying
the intent and purpose of the official map, the zoning ordinance, the development plan or
these regulations. In varying or waiving certain requirements, the council may specify
such conditions as will, in its judgment, secure substantially the objectives of the
requirements so varied or waived.

IV. ZONING REVIEW
IPM Zoning District
The property is zoned IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone) and subject to the regulations
of Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 20 and Article 4 Section 4.16. The following table
highlights some of the lot design standards for the IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone).
Minimum Required IPM (Conventional Lot)
Lot area 2 ½ acres
Lot Width (ft.) 200 feet
Lot Depth (ft.) 300 feet
Front Yard Setback (ft.) 60 feet
Side Yard Setback (ft.) 40 feet
Rear Yard Setback (ft.) 40 feet
Side or rear yards which adjoin a residence zone (ft.) 100 feet
Off-Street Parking Spaces
Per 800 sq. ft. floor area or 1
Per employee per largest working shift (if greater than the 1
requirement under the floor area calculation)
Maximum Permitted:
Building Height: Stories Not limit
Feet Equal to distance to nearest lot line
Floor Area Ratio 0.5
Lot Coverage 75%
This subdivision of land and any future development or use of the parcels are subject to the
requirements found in the City of Dover Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §20 and referenced
sections outlined in the permitted uses for the IPM Zone.
V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Site Access
The access to the subject property (and the proposed Lots 1 and 2) will be from Ridgely Street.
There is also an opportunity for construction of the unimproved segment of Fulton Street. The
details of such access will be part of a future site development plan review process.
Sidewalk
Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §18 requires the installation of sidewalks/pathways along the public
street frontage of a property whenever such property is involved in certain plan type
submissions. For the lands involved in this Minor Subdivision Plan, the requirement for
sidewalks will be considered during a future site development plan process.
VI. TREE AND LANDSCAPE PLANTING
When the site development of the individual parcels (Lots 1 and 2) occurs, the development will
48
Paj 49
Item 4.
SB-21-02 Minor Subdivision Plan for Lands of Fountainview, LLC at 100 Ridgely Street
DAC Report of May 5, 2021
Page 4
be required to meet the provisions for Landscape Guidelines and Tree Planting and Preservation.
These tree preservation, tree planting and landscaping requirements are subject principally to the
regulations found in Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Sections 15 and 16 and are also addressed in
other various sections of code related to buffering, screening, and open space. This is not
required for this Minor Subdivision Plan review.
VII. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS
The subject proposal has been reviewed for code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness
in accordance with this agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following items have been
identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant:
1) Sheet 1, in the Data Column:
a. Under Bulk Standards, noted that it is the IPM – Conventional Lot.
b. Add action taken on Subdivision Waiver including dates.
2) Sheet 2 - Minor Subdivision Plan:
a. Provide deed reference for existing access/utility easement area.
b. Clarify labels for distances along segments on the south property line for Lot 1.
c. Remove labels for “existing edge of pavement” as this is not shown on this plan
sheet.
3) Sheet 3 - Existing Conditions Plan:
a. Add tie line from wetland buffer label to line depicting the location.
b. Clarify if the stormwater drainage pipe shown crossing the Lot 2 area has an
easement. If not, then it may need to be established.
c. Clarify if sanitary sewer pipe shown crossing Lot 1 area has no easement. If not, then
it may need to be established.
4) The Record Plan Sheet must document and identify any existing and proposed easements for
cross access, utilities, drainage, etc. associated with the subdivision of these lot. However,
any associated recorded documents may need to be updated to clarify rights are for both Lot
1 and Lot 2.
5) Provide any information on any agreements established regarding responsibilities for existing
access drive aisle and utilities. Add notes to the Record Plan sheet as necessary for reference.
6) Of the two lots proposed, Lot 1 does not have the full lot width (frontage) required on a
public street. According to the Land Subdivision Regulations, Article VI. Subdivision
General Requirements and Design Standards, Section E. Lots, all lots are required to have
frontage on a public street and have to comply with a specific lot width which is 200 feet for
this IPM zoned property. A Waiver Request was submitted to allow creation of the Lot 1
recognizing the available lot width/frontage of 40.12 feet at the terminus of Ridgely Street.
The Planning Commission shall make a recommendation to City Council. This
recommendation will be forwarded to the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee,
who will in turn make a recommendation to City Council.
a. In order to grant a waiver of the requirement that all lots have frontage on a public
street of a specific width, the Planning Commission and City Council shall determine
49
Paj 50
Item 4.
SB-21-02 Minor Subdivision Plan for Lands of Fountainview, LLC at 100 Ridgely Street
DAC Report of May 5, 2021
Page 5
that compliance with the requirements of the ordinance would cause extraordinary
and unnecessary hardship and that “such variance or waiver shall not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, or general welfare, or have the effect of nullifying the
intent and purpose of the official map, the zoning ordinance, the development plan or
these regulations.”
b. All necessary easements to provide access to and between the Lots, including any
known access required for utility installation and drainage needs, shall be secured and
incorporated into the Record Plan prior to approval of the Minor Subdivision for
recordation.
7) The Final Record Plat submission must include requirements described in Dover Code of
Ordinances, Appendix A: Land Subdivision Regulations, Article IV, C. Plat and any
additional requirements of the Planning Commission.
8) The formal Record Plan will need to be recorded upon completion of the approval process
with any corrections identified by the reviewing agencies.
VIII. RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS TO MEET CODE
OBJECTIVES:
The Land Subdivision Regulations, Article I. Purpose, indicates that the regulations are adopted
in order to promote and protect the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare;
ensure the orderly growth and development of the City, the conservation, protection and proper
use of land, and adequate provision for housing, recreation, circulation, utilities and services; and
safeguard the City from undue future expenditure for the maintenance of streets and public
spaces.
1) This Minor Subdivision Plan creates two (2) lots out of the one parcel; the areas remain
zoned IPM. The Subdivision Plan generally complies with the Land Subdivision Regulations.
2) The proposed Minor Subdivision Plan for the was evaluated. The subdivision of this
property into two (2) individual lots does not impede the plan to develop the site.
3) Waiver of Requirement for Reduction of Required Lot Frontage Width on a Public Street: In
order for City Council to grant a waiver from the requirements of the Land Subdivision
Regulations, the applicant must demonstrate that compliance with the requirements of the
Regulations would cause extraordinary and unnecessary hardship, and that the variance or
waiver “shall not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare, or have the
effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of the official map, the zoning ordinance, the
development plan or these regulations.”
a) Staff notes that each of the Lots proposed will have frontage on a public street; it is only
one of the parcels that lacks the full lot width of 200 feet required. Lot 1 does have 40.12
feet of frontage and also has over 400 linear feet of the access easement included on its
parcel; thus, access to a public street is provided. The applicant has noted the unique
existing configuration of the property and the existing access easement as part of their
request. There probably could be a lot configuration arranged that would give both Lots
the required lot width, but it would result in very irregular parcels and require street
segment improvements and /or development.

Item 4.
SB-21-02 Minor Subdivision Plan for Lands of Fountainview, LLC at 100 Ridgely Street
DAC Report of May 5, 2021
Page 6
b) Staff finds that the presence of the existing access drive and utilities effectively divides
this tract into two areas already and limits the placement of potential buildings due to the
existing infrastructure that cross the property to serve other areas.
c) Staff recommends that if the waiver is granted, the Planning Commission require cross
access easements among both Lots 1 and 2 and with the other parties served by the
existing access drive/easement.
d) Staff recommends that the condition of the existing access drive be evaluated as
maintenance and/or improvements may be required for its current usage. A more detailed
design of improvements for the access drive may also be required with the future site
development plans for Lots 1 and 2.
Other agencies may recommend additional conditions and safeguards in accordance with their
areas of expertise. The Recommended Additional Considerations to Meet Code Objectives are
offered for consideration by the Planning Commission.
IX. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Minor Subdivision Plan occur in the
finalization of the Plan contact the Department of Planning and Inspections. These changes
may require resubmittal for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning
Commission, or other agencies making recommendations in regard to the plan.
2) Following Planning Commission approval of the Minor Subdivision 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. Upon
determination that the Plan is complete and all agency approvals have been received, copies
of the Plan must be submitted for final endorsement prior to recordation at the Kent County
Recorder of Deeds Office.
3) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory Committee
may provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code requirements.
4) The applicant shall be aware that Minor Subdivision Plan approval does not represent a site
development approval, a Building Permit, Sign Permit, and associated construction activity
permits. A separate application process is required for review and approvals for development
activity from 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.

RE: Subdivision Waiver Request
100 Ridgely Street
Tax Parcel No. ED-05-076.08-01-01.01-00001
Dear Mrs. Melson-Williams:
Mountain Consulting, Inc. has prepared a Minor Subdivision Plan for the above-referenced parcel. This
parcel is unique in that it fronts on the northern stub of Ridgely Street (just north of Fulton Street) and
fronts along an Unimproved Street. Additionally, a paved 40-feet wide access easement starts at the
north end of Ridgely Street and continues northerly through the subject property, and terminates at the
adjacent property currently owned by HSM Holdings I, LLC and JMS Exchange, LLC. The paved easement
is used by the subject property and the adjacent property.
As illustrated on Sheet 2 entitled Minor Subdivision Plan, a new division line is proposed along the
western edge of the paved 40-feet wide access easement. The result is the creation of an additional lot,
Lot 1. Lot 1 will have a street frontage of 40.12 feet along Ridgely Avenue. This parcel is zoned IPM
(Conventional Planned) and Article 4, Section 4.16 requires a lot width of 200 feet along a street
frontage.
We are requesting a waiver from the 200 feet width requirement. Thank you for your consideration.
Kind regards,
MOUNTAIN CONSULTING, INC.

I. PLAN SUMMARY
This application is for review of a Conditional Use Site Plan and associated Lot Consolidation
Plan to permit the construction of one Multiple Dwelling-Unit (Apartment) Building as a three-
story 54,105 SF building with 54 apartment units and associated site improvements. The
proposed Apartment building requires Conditional Use review in the C-4 zoning district. The
three existing lots to be consolidated total 3.302 +/- acres and are zoned C-4 (Highway
Commercial Zone). The property is located on the southwest side of Bay Road at the intersection
with Lafferty Lane. The owner of record is Patel Hospitality Properties. Property Addresses:
1080 and 1106 Bay Road and an unaddressed parcel. Tax Parcel Numbers: ED-05-086.00-01-18-
00-000, ED-05-086.00-01-19.00-000, and ED-05-086.00-01-20.00-000.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located at the southwest side of Bay Road, with State Route 1 running
alongside the west and north portions of the project site, and at the intersection of Lafferty Lane.
The applicant is proposing to construct one (1) three-story Multiple Dwelling-Unit (Apartment)
Building of 54 total Dwelling Units to be known as Bay Pointe Apartments. The Building is
shown to be of 54,205 SF +/-. The project consists of three (3) total parcels and a Lot
Consolidation Plan (Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plan) is part of the overall project submission.
The properties are surrounded on the west, north and south by right-of-way for Delaware State
Route 1. Properties across Bay Road to the east and north of Lafferty Lane are also zoned C-4
(Highway Commercial Zone) and C-3 (Service Commercial Zone). Across Bay Road to the east
and south of Lafferty Lane is the Kings Cliffe Residential Development, which is zoned MH
(Manufactured Housing Zone).
Note: The Applicant has submitted a Plan Set for reference, and has additionally submitted a
Supplementary Information Packet with further details on the proposed development.

Development Plan with associated Lot Consolidation Plan identified as C-20-05; it was also
named “Bay Pointe Apartments.” Application C-20-05 was heard by the Planning Commission
at their December 2020 meeting, but was not approved. Application C-20-05 was submitted by
the same Applicant and had similarly sought to develop the combined parcels as Apartments, but
as two (2) separate Buildings. The Application C-20-05 as a two-building concept proposal
similarly noted (54) total planned dwelling units (apartment) but proposed limited Active
Recreation Space and showed a different drive aisle/parking space configuration design of the
site.
III. ZONING REVIEW
C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone)
The application is a Conditional Use Site Plan for the proposed construction of one apartment
building. Apartments and multi-family dwellings in the C-4 Zone are Conditional Uses which
require approval from the Planning Commission. (Zoning Ordinance Article 3 Section 16.2)
Article 3 Section 16.1 Highway commercial zone (C-4)
16.1 Uses permitted. In a highway commercial zone (C-4), no building or premises shall be used,

minimum of three spaces for an office.
(p) Adult entertainment establishments, subject to the provisions stated in article 5, section
13.
16.2 Conditional uses. The following uses are permitted, conditional upon the approval of the
planning commission in accordance with the procedures and subject to the general conditions set
forth in article 10, section 1:
(a) Apartments and multi-family dwellings.
(b) Crematory, subject to the following requirements:
(1) The building lot line upon which a crematory is to be established shall be located at

Resources and Environmental Control shall accompany the application for a
certificate of occupancy.
This Conditional Use Site Plan is subject to the requirements of Article 10 §1 further discussed
below.
With Conditional Use Site Plan applications, the Planning Commission reviews the proposed
project to determine whether or not the intended use is appropriate in type and scale for the
immediate neighborhood. The Commission must also consider whether or not the proposed use
will have an adverse impact on the future orderly development of the surrounding area. The
following sections of the Zoning Ordinance which relates to the role of the Commission in
reviewing Conditional Use Site Plan applications are particularly relevant when reviewing this
application:
Article 10 §1.1 [Accessibility for fire and police protection.] That all proposed structures, equipment or
material shall be readily accessible for fire and police protection;
Article 10 §1.2 That the proposed use be of such location, size, and character that, in general, it will
be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the zone in which it is proposed to be
situated and will not be detrimental to the orderly development of adjacent properties in accordance
with the zoning classification of such properties;
IV. PARKING SUMMARY
67
Paj 68
Item 5.
C-21-04 Bay Pointe Apartments Project
DAC Report of May 5, 2021
Page 5
The parking requirement for apartments in the C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) is based on a
rate of two (2) parking space per dwelling unit plus 0.25 space per dwelling unit for visitor
parking and one parking space for every 200 SF of office space. Based on the number of
dwelling units (54 units), this site would require 122 parking spaces. The submission does not
indicate office space. The plans submitted identify a total of 130 parking spaces, including six
(6) handicapped parking spaces.
Supplementary Parking Requirements
Article 6, Section 5.3 of the Zoning Ordinance lays out additional stipulations for parking
specific for “Multiple Dwelling” (Apartments):
5.3 Supplementary parking regulations for multiple dwellings. No parking space shall be
located in any front yard or within three feet of any lot line in side or rear yards. The
parking of motor vehicles within 15 feet of any wall or portion thereof, is prohibited. Except
for electric vehicle charging stations, no automobile service shall be permitted to be
extended to users of the lot, including sales, repair or fueling, and no gasoline, oil, grease,
or related supplies shall be stored or sold in any such lot or in any garage on such lot.
The plans submitted do not appear to note what the distance between the physical parking spaces
and the main structure of the building, and Planning Staff is therefore unable to confirm if the
layout meets these criteria.
Bicycle Parking
Bicycle parking is required at a ratio of one space for every twenty parking spaces. If the site is
to be served by 130 parking spaces, seven (7) bicycle parking spaces are required. The Data
Column notes seven (7) bicycle parking spaces are planned, and the Site Plan shows them being
located on the west side of the Apartment Building.
V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Access
There is one entrance proposed to the site: a full access drive at the signalized intersection of Bay
Road and Lafferty Lane to the east of the subject site. The design of the entrance access to Bay
Road is subject to review by DelDOT since Bay Road is a state maintained road. The Entrance
connects to the main two-way drive which loops around the entirety of the main building. Most
parking spaces are shown to have direct access to this main drive aisle.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks are required along the Bay Road street frontages of the site (Zoning Ordinance,
Article 5 Section 18). The plan shows a multi-use path of ten (10) feet in width as required along
the Bay Road frontage. Sidewalk is proposed on the south side of the proposed entrance drive
from Bay Road leading into the site connecting to a sidewalk that runs along the inside of the
Parking Lot area and encompasses the entirety of the Apartment Building. The on-site sidewalk
system connects across the Parking Lot to the north where the Plans show an Active Recreation
Area is to be provided.
Pedestrian access to the Apartment Building is currently shown to be provided at the north end of
68
Paj 69
Item 5.
C-21-04 Bay Pointe Apartments Project
DAC Report of May 5, 2021
Page 6
the western façade, as well as the south end of the eastern façade. Staff notes that this does not
appear to line up with the Building Renderings provided, nor does Staff believe that this will
provide sufficient Pedestrian Access to the Building. It is also not certain as to where the main
entrance(s) is to be located for the Apartment Building.
There is a multi-use pathway known as the St. Jones Greenway on the west side of State Route 1;
however, it is not readily accessible from the subject properties due to the format of the roadway
systems in this area. Additionally, there are currently no other sidewalks or other type of pedestrian
pathways available along either side of this Bay Road segment. The multi-use path proposed in this
plan would be the start of a pedestrian system in this southern segment of Bay Road. However, it
would not directly connect to other pedestrian-only facilities; the roadway system does have limited
paved shoulders.
While the Plans submitted note six (6) handicap parking spaces are to be provided, there does not
appear to be any further facilities or accommodations made for handicap accessibility. This
would include features such as handicap ramps from the parking spaces onto the sidewalk,
handicap ramps at all crosswalks, and handicap accessibility to both the building, and the Active
Recreation Area.
Curbing
The upright curbing for the parking lots and drive aisles is required per the requirements of Article 6
Section 3.6(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. This curb type appears to be utilized throughout the site
layout.
Lighting
Lighting is proposed throughout the site where parking is provided. Most lighting is located along
the perimeter and on the parking islands in the larger parking lot area. It is unclear if there will be
exterior lighting on the Apartment Building. There is none shown on the elevations provided.
Rear Emergency Access
Emergency rear access is required for some residential dwelling types. According to Article 5,
Section 17 of the Zoning Ordinance a 16 ft. wide alley or 18 ft. wide Secondary Fire Lane is
required for apartments that are 2-3 stories to serve as rear access. This is to provide access to rear
building areas. The Plans submitted note that the access drive aisle planned around the entire
perimeter of the building is (24) feet wide; this appears to satisfy the Rear Emergency Access
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. It remains unclear as to which façade (west or east
elevation) serves as the front (and rear) of the Apartment Building.
Fire Marshal’s Office will also evaluate these fire protection measures as related to the fire lane
requirements of the applicable Fire Codes.
Dumpsters
According to Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §6.12, the Dumpster requirements for an Apartment
Complex are two (2) Dumpsters required for the first 48 apartments, and one (1) for each additional
24 apartments or fraction thereof. The plans submitted identify one (1) Dumpster enclosure,
containing three (3) Dumpsters. This is therefore compliant with Code requirements.
69
Paj 70
Item 5.
C-21-04 Bay Pointe Apartments Project
DAC Report of May 5, 2021
Page 7
The plans submitted further identify the details of the Dumpster enclosure. Specifically, it is to be
surrounded by an 8 ft. high CMU dumpster enclosure. This enclosure is also shown to have gates.
However, the material for the gates is not identified, nor is it shown if the material is to be opaque
VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
The Plan submission includes Architectural Renderings presenting a single elevation noted as the
“Front elevation.” The Drawing however does not identify which of the long facades of the
proposed building (east elevation or west elevation) is to be the “Front” elevation of the
Building.
The Rendering does not appear to line up with the Site Plan submitted. There is no main entrance
depicted in the rendering, but rather shows a series of patios with patio doors at ground level, in-
line with the balconies on the two upper stories. It is assumed these doors are specific to
particular units. It is therefore unclear as to how apartment units on the upper floors are to be
accessed.
The exterior finish of the Apartment Buildings is comprised of a stone veneer at the first-floor
watertable level and then horizontal siding for the remainder of the first, and then second and
third levels. This siding is shown to be in three neutral colors; slightly lighter and darker beige
colors, as well as a gray color. The exact materials proposed are not specifically identified. The
horizontal lines of the siding are broken by the vertical protrusions of the balconies which are
lined with white vertical trim and encased with black railings. As with the wall materials, the
trim and railing materials are also not identified. Finally, the drawings show that the roof is be
flat.
VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN
Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 16 lays out the requirements for tree planting and preservation.
A new project is required to provide tree planting at a rate of one (1) tree per 3,000 SF of the
“Development Area.” With a stated overall site area of 143,856 SF, this would put their tree
plantings requirement at a minimum of forty-eight (48) trees.
The submitted plan includes the landscaping approach for the overall project. The Landscape Plan is
providing a mixture of deciduous trees, evergreen trees, and flowering trees to provide a total of 48
trees, meeting the minimum requirements. The trees are proposed in groupings along the Bay Road
frontage, adjacent to the building, and along the periphery of the parking lot. However, it does appear
that some of the proposed tree plantings may conflict with underground Stormwater Management
Facilities by being planted too close. The Kent Conservation District will also be reviewing this
application and will similarly offer comment if necessary.
VIII. ACTIVE RECREATION AREA
The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 10 sets out requirements to preserve areas of open
space within residential developments which are designed to provide buffer spaces between
developing areas, to preserve existing natural and historic features and to establish a network of
open spaces within the built environment to provide a balance between developed and
undeveloped lands, wildlife habitat conservation, the preservation of scenic view corridors, and
to provide residents opportunities to engage in passive recreational activities. Zoning Ordinance,
Article 5 Section 10.514 notes that a residential development of 10 or fewer acres with a density
over six (6) units per acre shall provide Active Recreation at a rate of 150 SF of active recreation
70
Paj 71
Item 5.
C-21-04 Bay Pointe Apartments Project
DAC Report of May 5, 2021
Page 8
area per dwelling unit, or 10,000 SF of active recreation area, whichever is greater. As the
development overall is proposed to provide 54 total dwelling units (requiring 8,100 SF), the site
would be required to provide a minimum of 10,000 SF of Active Recreation Area. The Site Plans
submitted show a designated Active Recreation Area of 13,390 SF +/- being provided at the
north end of the site.
The designated Active Recreation Area notes several features including a gazebo with picnic
table area, Kayak Storage, Outdoor Fitness Area, and a Sand Volleyball Court. As noted
previously, there is a sidewalk that provides direct access to the Active Recreation Area from the
main Apartment Building and across the parking lot. There is also a sidewalk linkage from the
Recreation Area to the multi-use path along Bay Road. The Active Recreation Area proposal will
also be evaluated in a separate Review Report.
IX. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS:
The subject proposal has been reviewed for code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness
in accordance with the agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following items have been
identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant:
1) The Planning Commission must approve the Conditional Use for an Apartment Building use in
the C-4 zone.
2) The Active Recreation Plan will need to be submitted for review by the Park and Recreation
Department.
3) Please ensure that the planned Dumpster enclosure, noted as being approximately 8 feet in
height, does not conflict with the required minimum distance for the Arterial Street Buffer
Setback of 30 feet from State Route 1.
4) Please note if there is to be any lighting proposed on the perimeters of the buildings themselves
this detail should be included on the Architectural Renderings.
5) In addition to labelling the building elevation as “Front,” please also note the façade based on its
relative cardinal direction (east, west, etc.). Please also include the renderings of the other three
facades. Please note as well the apparent error in the rendering of a series of windows
immediately to the left of the column of patio/balconies shown second from the left.

through the Conditional Use process. The location of this residential development is in
proximity to other residential areas (a manufactured home community), to a variety of
commercial, service, and office establishments, and employment opportunities. The location
is very close to Dover Air Force Base (DAFB) and may provide an opportunity for housing
of personnel and their families. The property location is surrounded by a complex
transportation system of State Route 1 (and associated on-ramps) and Bay Road and
therefore is easily accessed by vehicle but has more limited pedestrian access.
a) The development offers another residential housing option in the City in the form of a
higher density apartment complex.
b) Evaluate and implement any building construction techniques that may be necessary to
abate nearby traffic noise.
2) Active Recreation Area: Staff are satisfied with the proposed plan to meet the Active
Recreation Area requirements provided by the Applicant. Planning Staff notes that the
minimum size required for the Active Recreation for this project is 10,000 SF and the
Applicant has identified an area dedicated to Active Recreation on site at 13, 390 SF.
Planning Staff would therefore recommend approval for the proposed Active Recreation
Plan.
3) Multimodal/ Pedestrian Accessibility: Accessibility should be provided throughout the site to
ensure all tenants have equal access to all the site’s amenities and features. This should
include:
a) Accessible sidewalks connecting from the main building, across the parking lot
(including any and all required crosswalk striping, and accessible ramps on all sidewalks)
to the gazebo. The gazebo itself should be accessible.
b) At least one picnic table to be provided should have access to it provided by a sidewalk,
and at least one (1) accessible space for seating.
c) Implement traffic control measures at the entrance area and drive aisle to facilitate
movements and safe pedestrian entry.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Olayiwola Okesola, Kent Review Coordinator
FROM: Troy Brestel, Project Engineer
DATE: March 2, 2021
SUBJECT: Bay Road Apartments (Protocol Tax Parcel #2-05-08600-01-1800-00001)
Results of Traffic Operational Analysis (TOA)
We have reviewed the traffic operational analysis (TOA) for the proposed Bay Road
Apartments, submitted by Pennoni Associates, Inc., on December 16, 2020. The analysis evaluates
the traffic impacts of the proposed development, which is to be located on the west side of Bay
Road (Kent Road 7), directly across from Lafferty Lane (Kent Road 347), in the City of Dover.
The proposed development would consist of 54 apartments. One full access is proposed
at the signalized intersection of Bay Road and Lafferty Lane; the access would form the fourth leg
of the intersection. Construction is expected to be complete in 2023.
There are no relevant DelDOT projects in the area of study.
Based on our review, we find the following:
The intersection of Bay Road and Lafferty Lane would operate at level of service (LOS) D
or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours for the current and future no-build conditions. For
the future build condition, adding the site entrance as the fourth leg of the intersection would not
cause it to operate lower than LOS D during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. The intersection under
each of the conditions would meet the LOS criteria listed in Chapter 2 of the Development
Coordination Manual.
To add the site entrance as the fourth leg to the intersection of Bay Road and Lafferty Lane,
the developer will be required to do the following, at minimum:

Site Entrance one right-turn lane
Westbound One left-turn lane, one right-turn One shared left-turn / through lane,

2) The developer should enter into a signal agreement for the intersection to cover the
changes listed above in item 1.
The final design details, including the length of the southbound right-turn lane to be added
along Bay Road, should be discussed with DelDOT’s Development Coordination and Traffic
sections early in the plan review process.
Please note that this analysis generally focuses on capacity and level of service issues.
Other comments relating to bicycle, pedestrian, and frontage improvements may be made during
the plan review process. Level of Service tables for the existing and future cases are attached with
this memorandum.

C-21-04: Bay Pointe Apartments Active Recreation Area Review
Report to Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee – May 11, 2021
Page 2 of 6
I. PROJECT SUMMARY:
This is plans submission C-21-04 for development of Bay Pointe Apartments as a One Building
Concept. The project proposes the construction of one (1) three-story Multiple Dwelling-Unit
(Apartment) Building consisting of 54,105 total SF and 54 total apartment units. The associated
site improvements include a parking lot, multi-use path along the frontage of Bay Road and
sidewalk connections from the parking lot to the building and from the multi-use path to the
parking area. This project also includes landscaping along the Bay Road frontage and around and
throughout the parking area.
Note: A previous application C-20-05 Bay Pointe Apartments (Two Building Concept) was
denied by the Planning Commission in December 2020. It proposed a different design concept
for development of residential units and the associated recreation area.
II. ACTIVE RECREATION AREA PLAN SUMMARY:
According to Article 5 §10.514 Residential developments of ten (10) or fewer acres with a
density over six units per acre 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. With
this project of fifty-four (54) units, the Active Recreation Area requirement calculates to 8,100
SF which is less than 10,000 SF thus requiring the greater amount. The property is 3.302 acres,
therefore density is 16.3 dwelling units per acre.
The following table depict the calculation of Active Recreation Area required:
Required Provided on Plan
Active Recreation 150 S.F. per dwelling unit or • 13,390 SF

The Plans submitted include an Active Recreation Area Plan Sheet (Sheet CS1003; included as
exhibit). This plan shows the extent of the planned Active Recreation Facilities on site. Located
to the north of the main building and connected to the building and the multi-use path (along Bay
Road frontage) via a sidewalk, the Active Recreation Area is noted as being 13,309 SF +/- in
area. It is to be comprised of a picnic area with associated gazebo and picnic tables, an area
dedicated to outdoor fitness equipment, a storage facility for kayaks, as well as a designated sand
volleyball court. These features are to be provided in addition to the bicycle parking facilities
(for minimum 7 bicycles), and a sidewalk that circles the perimeter of the Apartment Building
and connects to the multi-use path along Bay Road.

Report to Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee – May 11, 2021
Page 5 of 6
Use Site Plan Application C-21-04. The following are comments and recommendations from the
Planning Office following review of the Active Recreation Area Plan.
1) Active Recreation Area: As a residential development, there is a requirement for Active
Recreation area. The Plans submitted note an area of 13,390 SF to the north of the building
specifically designated as “Active Recreation Area.” The features of this Active Recreation
Area identified include: a Gazebo and picnic area with picnic tables and seating; a covered
Kayak Storage Facility; an Outdoor Fitness Station; and a Sand Volleyball court.
Staff supports the proposed Site Improvements proposed to meet the qualifications of an
Active Recreation Area, and further recommends the following regarding improving
functionality and accessibility of the Active Recreation Area for the potential residents.
a. Accessibility:
i. Implement accessible sidewalks connecting from the main building, across
the parking lot (including any and all required crosswalk striping, and
accessible ramps on all sidewalks) to the Active Recreation Area. The
gazebo itself should be accessible with no steps required in order to enter.
This can be achieved using site grading.
ii. At least one picnic table should have access to it provided via a sidewalk
and at least one (1) accessible space for seating.
b. General:
i. Add shade trees to the active recreation area. Especially consider tree
placement to provide shade in the picnic table area.
ii. Clarify if gazebo will have interior seating.
VI. ADVISORY COMMENTS
1) The Conditional Use Site Plan set including any Recreation Area are to include appropriate
improvements, plans, and details of the Recreation Area as approved.
2) There shall be provisions which ensure that any proposed active recreation areas shall
continue as such and be properly managed and maintained. The developer shall either retain
ownership and responsibility for maintenance of the common use areas or provide for and
establish one (1) or more organizations for the ownership and maintenance of all common
space i.e. a Homeowners Association. The organization shall be responsible for maintenance,
insurance and taxes on the recreation areas.
3) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Plan occur in the finalization of the Plan
contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of building, relocation of site
components, changes in floor area or unit count, or design revisions impacting 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 regard to the plan.
4) The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee shall submit to the
Planning Commission a report detailing the recommendations as to the Active Recreation

RE: Bay Pointe Apartments Project (C-21-04)
Bay Road – City of Dover, Kent County, Delaware
Conditional Use Site Plan Application
Supplemental Project Information Packet
Dear Ms. Melson-Williams:
On behalf of the project applicant, Patel Hospitality Properties LLC, we are respectfully submitting this
supplemental project information packet for inclusion in the Planning Commission review package in support of
our Conditional Use Site Plan Application for the Bay Pointe Apartments Project adjacent to Bay Road in the City of
Dover, Kent County, Delaware.
As you are aware, the subject project site was previously submitted by the applicant under another application
which proposed two apartment buildings totaling 54 units. The prior application included two waiver requests for
a reduced arterial roadway buffer and for not providing a rear emergency/fire access lane within the required
minimum distance to the proposed buildings. The prior application also sought to provide a majority portion of
the required active recreation area in the form of a “fee-in-lieu of.” That application was denied by the Planning
Commission, citing various concerns that included: lack of adequate rear emergency access, inadequate arterial
roadway buffer distance, concerns about providing adequate parking quantity, and lack of adequate active
recreation area.
The applicant has taken the Planning Commissioners prior concerns and comments under consideration and has
submitted this new application which proposes a single building with 54 units, as a fully code compliant plan. Since
the new plan is a single building, this application seeks no waiver requests, the plan provides more than the
required active recreation area (with no “fee-in-lieu of”), and the plan exceeds the parking requirements. Further,
the plan is fully compliant with the fire code as stated by the City Fire Marshal (including emergency/fire access
lane around the entire building). The applicant would also like to convey the following additional information
regarding the project proposal for the Planning Commission’s consideration:
Land Use / Zoning
The subject parcels are zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial), which allows for Apartments and Multi-family dwellings
as a Conditional Use. The subject parcels are located outside of the core commercial land use areas of Dover which
are located further to the north along Route 13, between Scarborough Road and Route 1. Additional commercial
use areas are located approximately ½ mile south of the site along Route 10. There has been a noticeable vacancy
rate among many of the existing commercial areas in Dover, which evidences that there is low demand for new
commercial space along the Rt. 13 corridor (especially this far south on the subject site). Further, the subject site
is located south of the Rt. 1 exit off Bay Road. As such, a customer wanting to utilize the site for access to a
commercial use such a ‘Dunkin Donuts’ would need to go past their desired exit to get to the site and then backtrack
to their desired exit, requiring a less than ideal U-turn on Bay Road. The site is simply not ideal for a commercial
use for many reasons.

PLAWX-21003 May 6, 2021 Page 2
Ms. Dawn Melson-Williams Bay Pointe Apartments (C-21-04)
The project site is adjacent to other residential uses; however, there are limited options that exist for high density
residential in this section of Dover. As the project site is adjacent to the Dover Air Base, there is an expected
demand for housing both on and off Base for enlisted personnel. Furthermore, given its close proximity and ease
of access to entry and exit points from major transportation routes such as Routes 1, 13 and 10, research has
indicated that this site is ideal for residency for first responders such as Police, EMS and Fire Fighters. Based on the
aforementioned items, we feel that a residential use for this site is more appropriate, which is evidenced by the
Dover Code permitting such use as a conditional use.
Target Tenants, Building & Parking Design
This Apartment project intends to target single renter occupants specifically Air Base personnel, Police/Fire/EMS
first responders and adult college students. As such, the proposed apartment building is comprised of 48, single
bedroom apartment units, and 6, two-bedroom apartment units. No other multiple bedroom units are proposed
(i.e., no 3-bedroom units). As the primary make-up of the building will be single bedroom units targeting single
person renters, there will be less demand for parking spaces. The project is currently exceeding the minimum
required parking space quantity by eight spaces, with a total of 130 parking spaces proposed. With the potential
of up to 60 beds proposed, there is likely to be an equal demand for the same quantity of parking spaces (i.e., 60
spaces and not the full 130 spaces). This should leave ample parking for visitors and guests. It should also be noted
that there is currently no plan to include an on-site leasing/management office (this will be managed off-site).
Active Recreation
An active recreation area is being proposed in excess of the minimum required area for the project. The minimum
requirement for this project is 10,000 square feet, while 13,390 square feet is being proposed. The active
recreation area proposes amenities that would most benefit the target renter groups. These items include: outdoor
work-out/exercise equipment, sand volleyball court, covered bicycle and canoe/kayak storage, and a gazebo/picnic
pavilion with picnic tables. The active recreation area will be provided with paved ADA accessible walkways to each
of the features from the parking areas and apartment building. The pathway will also connect to the proposed
multi-use path running along the entire property frontage adjacent to Bay Road.
We have included with this packet several graphics to support the points made herein which include: existing land
use maps of the surrounding area showing the concentrations of the existing commercial and residential use areas,
immediate roadway access points adjacent to the site, and typical active recreation amenity images. We are also
including email correspondence from the Dover Fire Marshal indicating that the project site layout as submitted
meets the appropriate emergency access requirements of the City code.
In the meantime, if you have any questions/comments or require additional information, please do not hesitate to
contact me at this office. We thank you for your continued assistance with this project.
Respectfully submitted,

Subject: RE: Bay Pointe Apartments - confirmation of adequate emergency access
Good Afternoon,
Please accept this email as confirmation that DAC application C-21-04, Bay Pointe Apartments at 1080 and 1106 Bay Rd,
meets the appropriate emergency access requirements as submitted (Perimeter Access , Fire Lanes, and Emergency
Access to the rear of the building). It was noted today that the one parking spot that is located within 12’ of the building
will be relocated elsewhere on the site. It was also noted that the plantings close to the building will not grow large
enough to interfere with firefighter operations. As discussed, once a primary entrance is defined, we will have further
conversations regarding the placement of the FDC and fire hydrant(s). Let me know if you have any questions or
concerns or need anything additional. Thank you.

I. PLAN SUMMARY:
This is review of a Site Development Master Plan (Revised) to permit continued phased
construction of the Bay Road Office Park to consist of three buildings in three phases. Phase 1 is
complete with a 25,120 SF Office Building, parking, stormwater management facility, and other
site improvements. Phase 2 proposes a 25,606 SF Office Building with potential 4,800 SF
building addition. Phase 3 proposes a 17,374 SF Office Building. The subject properties consist
of four (4) parcels: 1.11+/- acres, 1.10+/- acres, 1.20+/- acres, and 4.17+/- acres. The properties
are zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). The properties are located on the southwest side of
Bay Road and south of Miller Drive with access from Martin Street. The owner of record is Bay
Road One, LLC. Property Addresses: 530, 540, 544, and 550 Bay Road. Tax Parcels: ED-05-

Previous Applications
The previous Site Development Master Plan S-17-19 for the phased construction of the Bay
Road Office Park was to consist of four buildings in four phases on the tract addressed as 550
Bay Road where a mobile home/manufactured home sales facility existed. The redevelopment of
the site proposed to include a 25,120 SF office building, a 17,500 SF office building, a 16,250 SF
office building, and a 15,000 SF flex/warehouse building. The Planning Commission granted
approval of the Master Plan S-17-19 in July 2017 and then later in October 2017 granted
approval of a Revision that eliminated the flex/warehouse building (Phase 4) in order to
accommodate the stormwater management facility (a wet pond). The S-17-19 project also
involved consideration of a variance request by the Board of Adjustment (V-17-12) on July 19,
2017 to allow Phase 1 of the project to exceed the maximum allowable parking for that specific
phase. A second variance request regarding elimination of the landscape requirement of the
opaque barrier along the northern property line was also submitted but not approved. Final Plan
approval of the Master Plan S-17-19 was granted April 4, 2018. The Bay Road Office Park -
Phase 1: Office Building was constructed under S-17-30 with Final Plan approval also granted
April 4, 2018.
In September 2018, the Planning Commission reviewed a Minor Subdivision Plan to reconfigure

the property into parcels for each building. Final Record Plan Approval was granted on December
18, 2018 to the Record Plan for the Minor Subdivision Plan SB-18-04 in order to combine the
original Lots 1 and 2 into one single parcel, while subdividing the sections of Lot 1 planned to
contain the two smaller office buildings into their own lots as the new Lot 2 and Lot 3.
In 2017 with the Bay Road Office Park development proposal, there was an adjacent but separate
development (by a different development entity) proposal of the adjoining parcel at 560 and 600
Bay Road. As part of the review process for both sites, a cross access connection between the
properties was required to be established. (Reference Applications: S-17-20 Bay Road
Commercial at 560 and 600 Bay Road; S-19-20 Delaware State Police Building – Update to Bay
Road Commercial Phase 1; and C-20-02 Landing Square Apartments/Bay Road Commercial
Revision – Phase 2).
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This Site Development Master Plan (Revised) presents the general concept for the properties
now owned by Bay Road One, LLC. Since the previous Master Plan S-17-19, an additional
property has been acquired at the corner of Bay Road and Miller Drive (530 Bay Road). This
additional property is being made part of the project and expands the development area and
enlarges the building proposed for Phase 2. The overall development for Bay Road Office Park
consists of a series of three phases with a building and associated parking and site improvements
in each. Phase 1 is complete is a two-story Office Building and the site’s access from Bay Road
and Martin Street has been completed. The three buildings are proposed as two-story office
buildings. The subject property is adjacent to several residential properties to the north on Martin
Street and Cowgill Street. To the south is the tract of land at 560/600 Bay Road; it is also zoned
C-4 and is the subject of development proposals for office and restaurant uses (as listed above).
III. ZONING REVIEW
C-4 Zoning District
The property is zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) and subject to the regulations of Zoning
Ordinance, Article 3 Section 16 and Article 4 Section 4.15. The proposed use of the three
buildings is as offices. The C-4 zone allows business, professional and governmental offices as
permitted uses in additional to other uses.
Site Development Master Plan
The plan for this project is submitted for review under the Site Development Master Plan process
(See Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.44 listed below). This process allows for a series of
construction phases to be outlined in a Master Plan for Planning Commission review and
approval. Prior to each Phase of construction, a Site Plan specific to that phase is submitted for
Administrative Site Plan review.
Article 10 §2.44 Site development master plans. Conceptual site development master plans shall
be reviewed by the planning commission in accordance with the provisions of subsection 2.43.
Conceptual site development master plans shall depict a site development proposal that reflects
general compliance with the provisions of the zoning ordinance and shall also reflect the following
information on the plan:
(A) Conceptual Master Plan. Conceptual Master Plan shall include the proposed general
layout of building, streets, parking, open space, landscape concepts, and stormwater
management areas.

(1) Detailed site construction plans, details, and specifications are not required as
part of a site development master plan submission.
(2) The plan shall illustrate distinct phase boundaries for each proposed construction
phase and shall depict proposed construction and site improvements planned for
each phase. Bulk quantities and area totals for each construction phase, and for
the total site, shall be tabulated in a data column on the plan.
(3) Each construction phase shall be enumerated in sequential order on the site
development master plan according to the order of construction contemplated by
the plan. Phases shall be implemented in accordance with the approved site
development master plan unless the city planner approves an alternate phasing.
(4) Each construction phase represented on the master plan shall be planned and
designed to function independent of construction and site improvements
contemplated in future construction phases in all respects, including but not
limited to bulk area provisions of the zoning district in which the site is located,
off-street parking requirements, site entrances, emergency access requirements,
site utilities, and stormwater management improvements except where the
requirements and needs of a later phase are met and remain met by a previous
phase of completed construction.
(5) Any special agreements or conditions of approval relative to the overall
development that have been specified by regulatory agencies shall be
documented on the site development master plan.
(B) Phased site plan approval. Individual phased components of the Conceptual Master
Plan are to be reviewed and approved as an Administrative Site Plan. Final site
construction plans, including detailed site grading, paving, utilities, stormwater
management, and tree planting and preservation plans shall be submitted for final
approval by the city planner and/or authorized designee, and to other agencies
having jurisdiction, on a phase by phase basis in accordance with the approved site
development master plan, and all regulations of the City of Dover governing the
approval of site plans as set forth in subsection 2.4 and 2.5.
IV. PARKING SUMMARY
The parking requirement for C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) is based on a rate of one parking
space per 300 square feet of floor area. See the following table summary of the parking
requirement by phase. The Plan is shows 303 parking spaces in total. The overall site as
currently shown appears to exceed the overall parking requirement of 243 spaces. The C-4
zoning district has a maximum lot coverage of 75% which was added to the Zoning Ordinance in
2018 when the maximum number of parking space limitation was removed from code
(Ordinance #2018-06).

Page 4
buildings. This loading space waiver was previously granted with Master Plan S-17-19. A
written request for the elimination of the loading spaces for the office buildings was submitted
for consideration by the Planning Commission.
Bicycle Parking
The minimum bicycle parking is one (1) bike space for every twenty (20) regular vehicle parking
spaces. Based on the 303 parking spaces shown, at least sixteen (16) bicycle parking spaces are
required for the site in total. The Phase 1 Office Building already has a bicycle parking rack
installed. The bicycle parking racks must be labeled the plan; there appears to be a rack at each
building.
V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Entrance
The Master Plan shows the access point as a right-in/right-out on Bay Road; this was constructed
in Phase 1 along with an access from the terminus of Martin Street. The main entrance drive
from Bay Road will provide access to each building/phase area. Additionally, with the
acquisition of the new parcel, Phase 2 will also have access from Miller Road. Currently, there is
a cross access or interconnection shown from the Phase 1 area.to the adjacent vacant parcel to
the south.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks are required along all street frontages of a site (Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section
18). The plan shows a shared use path of 10 ft. width along the Bay Road frontage which will be
expanded in Phase 2 north to intersection with Miller Road. A sidewalk on the south side of the
the main entrance drive from Bay Road leads into the site thus marking the connection from the
street frontage sidewalk. New sidewalk is proposed along portions of Martin Street and Miller
Drive. There are no sidewalk connections shown directly from Martin Street and Miller Road to
Phase 2 Building, but it has one from the Bay Road pathway.
Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Upright Curbing
The upright curbing for the parking lots and drive aisles is required the requirements of Article 6
Section 3.6(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. This curb type appears to be utilized throughout most of
the site layout. The applicant has filed a request to eliminate curbing in portions of the parking
lot for Phase 2 – Building 2 as part of a stormwater management design concept. The City
Planner considers this waiver request.
Dumpsters
Each office building requires two Dumpsters based on their individual sizes. If all the Dumpster
pads required by Code are not needed a Dumpster pad may be reserved and shown on the plan as
reserved. The construction of the Dumpster pad and enclosure would only be required if in the
future it was determined to be necessary by the Planning Director.
Signage
A separate sign permit application is required to be submitted for review prior to the installation
of signage on the property pertaining to the buildings/site.

VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
No specific Elevation Drawings were submitted for the buildings. However, Phase 1, Building 1-
Office Building has been constructed. It is two story building with a flat roof and taller parapet at
the front entry location. The building includes the exterior finishes of brick masonry with
brickwork detailing metal panels, and horizontal bands of windows on all elevations. There is a
projecting canopy over the main entry on the front (east) elevation.
VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN
The submitted plan includes the Landscaping approach for the overall project. During the
construction of Phase 1, trees were planted on that parcel including along the entrance drive.
The Plan currently calculates the tree plantings by parcel. The Landscape Plan is providing a
mixture of deciduous trees, evergreen trees, and ornamental trees to provide a total of ninety-five
(95) trees.
Waiver Request: Reduction of Arterial Street Buffer
In order to reduce the required width of the Arterial Street Buffer from the required thirty feet, the
applicant must receive a waiver from the Planning Commission. In accordance with Zoning
Ordinance Article 5 §7.3, the Planning Commission may approve a waiver if it can be
demonstrated, due to specific constraints related to existing lot size, lot configuration or the
orientation of existing buildings on adjoining properties, that compliance would severely limit the
development potential of the property, or would cause the property to be out of character with the
surrounding built environment; provided the basic objective of establishing landscaped green space
along arterial roadways is achieved. A Waiver Request was submitted for consideration to reduce
the Arterial Street Buffer to a width of 20 feet. This waiver was previously granted with the original
Master Plan submission.
Opaque Barrier
The Zoning Ordinance requires a buffer between a residential use and a non-residential use
(Article 5 Section 7.2). The buffer has two components: an opaque barrier consisting of a
wooden fence, a masonry wall or an earthen berm and a landscape component. For this project,
a buffer was required for certain areas along the north property lines of the parcels in the Phase 1
area. A fence component and landscaping plantings were constructed along the north property
line from the west to Martin Street.
Parking Lot Screening
Portions of the parcels that make up Phase 2 area, are located across the street from residential
properties on Martin Street. The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §7 requires that when a parking lot
is located across the street then it must be screened with a hedge of at least 2 ft. height when
planted and then maintained at a maximum of four feet. The Planning Commission can require a
fence four feet in height while the hedge is growing.
VIII. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS:
The subject proposal has been reviewed for code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness
in accordance with this agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following items have been

IX. RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS TO MEET CODE
OBJECTIVES:
In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.2, the Planning Commission in
considering and acting upon Site Development Plans may prescribe appropriate conditions and
safeguards so that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the
public in general, and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken
into consideration. These safeguards may to the maximum extent possible further the expressed
intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed
in subsections 2.21 to 2.28.
1) Waiver Request – Elimination of Loading Spaces: In accordance with subsections 2.21 and
2.23 related to transportation and off-street parking, Staff recommends approval of the
request to eliminate the loading space requirements for the office buildings. Staff concurs
that the anticipated types of deliveries to these office buildings do not necessitate a
designated loading space.
2) Waiver Request - Elimination of Upright Curbing: In accordance with subsection 2.26
related to drainage systems, the City Planner grants approval of the request to eliminate the
curbing for the parking lot areas in Phase 2 noting the proposed stormwater management
design to allow for sheet flow of water into the system.
3) Waiver Request – Reduction of Arterial Street Buffer: In accordance with subsection 2.25
related to landscaping, Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve a reduction of
the Arterial Street Buffer from the required thirty (30) feet to a minimum of twenty (20) feet
along Bay Road for this project. In reducing for the required buffer, the Planning
Commission should consider the following factors:
a) Existing conditions include a green space between the curb of the roadway and the
property line, depending on the position of the deceleration lanes and travel lanes of Bay
Road.
b) For the Arterial Street Buffer, the actual available green space between the property line
and the onsite rows of parking for the office buildings is reduced by the location of the
shared use path partially into the same buffer area.
c) A wider green space area for the Arterial Street Buffer can accommodate some tree
planting and provide for potential freestanding sign locations.
4) Cross-Access: In accordance with subsection 2.21 related to safety and convenience of
vehicular, transit, bicycle and pedestrian traffic, Staff recommends implementation of cross
access opportunities (drive aisles, sidewalks, pathways, etc.) for vehicles and pedestrians to
facilitate designated locations for movement between buildings and developments.
a) Maintain the cross access connection with the adjacent property to the south. Its Phase 2
area (at 600 Bay Road) is currently under construction in the vicinity of the connection
point.
5) Pedestrian Connections: In accordance with subsection 2.21 related to safety and
convenience of vehicular, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic, Staff recommends the
following pedestrian access improvements:

WATER
1. All water utility components must meet the requirements of the Water Wastewater Handbook, effective date March 22, 2010.
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 Water & Wastewater specifications and requirements.
c. The site contractor shall contact the City of Dover Department of Water & Wastewater Construction Manager at (302) 736-
7025 prior to the start of construction. A representative from the City of Dover Department of Water & Wastewater 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

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE 2019 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation
at Planning Commission Meeting of May 17, 2021
MI-21-03 Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project: Comprehensive
Zoning Map Amendments
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan Implementation process continues with the Comprehensive
Rezoning 2021 Project. Under State law, the City is required to review and ensure that the Land
Development Plan of the Comprehensive Plan and the City’s Official Zoning Map are in
alignment. The Planning Office completed a data analysis evaluation to compare the Land
Development Plan Map of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan (as amended March 8, 2021) and the
City’s Official Zoning Map. This analysis identified a series of properties recommended for
rezoning (zoning map amendments).
These Zoning Map Amendments are recommended to ensure that the Zoning Map serves as
effective tool for implementing the Comprehensive Plan and specifically, the Land Development
Plan strategy for the City of Dover. See Chapter 12 – Land Development Plan of the 2019
Comprehensive Plan. The properties (parcels) recommended for Rezoning are depicted in map
and listing formats (dated 4/26/2021). There are 165 properties, each identified by an ID#. There
are 64 unique property owners including the City of Dover and the State of Delaware. Of the
proposed Zoning Map Amendments, a total of 100 involved rezoning properties to the ROS
(Recreational and Open Space Zone). There are also a twenty-nine (29) properties that are

COMPREHENSIVE REZONING 2021
PROJECT – FORMAL REVIEW UPDATE 4/30/2021
City of Dover, Delaware
Department of Planning & Inspections
Comprehensive Plan
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan is a vision document for the City of Dover's future growth
and development addressing where people will live and work, how essential services will
be provided, and how the City can ensure a high quality of life. It is an important
informational, policy, and regulatory document. It is used as the foundation for rezoning,
annexations, and other land use decisions. After a year of development by the Planning
Staff and input from the citizens of Dover, the Planning Commission recommended the
Plan’s adoption in December 2019. City Council adopted the 2019 Comprehensive Plan
on January 13, 2020 and the Plan has been Certified by the State.
Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project
The Comprehensive Plan outlines a number of Implementation items. Under Delaware
Code (State law), the City is required to review and ensure that the Land Development
Plan of the Comprehensive Plan and the City’s Official Zoning Map are in alignment. This
project is known as the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project. This project is being
led by Planning Office Staff from the Department of Planning & Inspections.
Compare Land Development Plan Map and Zoning Map
Part of this project is to go through a parcel-by-parcel evaluation and make sure that the
Land Development Plan Map and Zoning Map match. To do this Planning Staff used GIS
(Geographic Information Systems) technology to compare the two maps. The Land
Development Plan Map (Map 12-1 in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan) has general Land
Use categories for all properties within the City. The Zoning Map depicts the approved
Zoning District for each property in the City. To view the current Zoning of properties, the
City’s website includes a Dover Parcel and Zoning Map Viewer.
Utilize GIS Technology
Using GIS, the Planning Staff put the
Zoning map layer and Land Development
Plan map layer together to determine
where there were inconsistencies. After
the initial analysis, Staff sifted through
results to determine which parcels should
be corrected. This Project focuses on
where the correction is recommended to
be addressed by Rezoning (changing the
Zoning District of the property).

Analysis of Results by Planning Staff
This Analysis of comparing Maps is also guided by a Land Use and Zoning Matrix. This
Matrix within Chapter 12: Land Development Plan of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan is
presented as Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix. It lists the Land Use Categories
and the matching Zoning Districts. The Zoning District of a property must match the Land
Use Category of the property. In some cases, a Zoning District is allowed in several
different Land Use Categories.
Preliminary Listing of Rezonings – Issued February 2021
A series of properties are being recommended for Rezoning based on the completed
analysis. The Preliminary Zoning Map and List of 2/4/2021 was issued highlighting the
selected properties by ID Number, property address, the current Zoning District, and the
Proposed Zoning District. Also provided is the Zoning District Type List document which
consists of a quick summary of the allowable uses in each Zoning District.
Public Outreach on Proposed Rezonings
A step in the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project is educating property owners whose
properties have been identified for Rezoning. Through a targeted mailing in February
2021, we shared information about the Comprehensive Rezoning process with maps and
documents. Also, Virtual Information Sessions were held on February 23, 2021 using
WebEx, a phone and audio/video conferencing system. A Recording of this Virtual
Information Session can be found for viewing on the Project website.
Formal Review Process – Draft Zoning Map Amendments
The consideration of the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project involves a formal
review process. The process involves completion of public notice mailings and legal
advertisements in newspapers, preparation of the Comprehensive Rezoning package
(lists and maps identifying parcels), and Public Hearings. Public Hearings have been
scheduled with the Planning Commission and City Council in order to accept or deny the
proposed rezoning of properties identified. After a decision has been made by City
Council, the City’s Zoning Map will be edited to reflect the parcels that have been rezoned.

proposed for Zoning Map Amendments (Rezoning).

Other Related Steps
As a companion piece to the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project, Staff is also bringing
forward a series of Amendments to the 2019 Comprehensive Plan. This is known as the
Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2021 Set #2 (MI-21-04). These Amendments will
address Plan text changes to Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix and revisions to
Land Use Categories designated on the Map 12-1: Land Development Plan discovered
during this parcel-by-parcel analysis and/or Comprehensive Rezoning process.

at Planning Commission Meeting of May 17, 2021
MI-21-04 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2021 Set #2
Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2021 Set #2
Associated with City of Dover, DE Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan Implementation process continues with the Comprehensive
Rezoning 2021 Project. The Planning Office completed a data analysis evaluation to compare the
Land Development Plan Map of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan (as amended March 8, 2021) and
the City’s Official Zoning Map. See MI-21-03 Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project:
Comprehensive Zoning Map Amendments and a Project Chronology Listing. See also project
website including an ArcGIS Hub Site for more information and interactive mapping resources:
https://www.cityofdover.com/ComprehensiveRezoning2021Project
As a companion piece to the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project, City of Dover Planning
Staff is also bringing forward a series of amendments to be known as Comprehensive Plan
Amendments Set #2 to the 2019 Comprehensive Plan. These Amendments were discovered
during the parcel-by-parcel analysis and/or the Comprehensive Rezoning Project process (MI-
21-03). In the case of these properties, the more appropriate approach to compliance between the
Land Development Plan Map and Zoning Map has been determined to be by way of focusing on
the designated Land Use Category.
The Comprehensive Plan Amendments Set #2 Project Application (MI-21-04) consists of
review of a series of Amendments to the 2019 Comprehensive Plan regarding Plan text changes
and Map revisions to the Land Use Category as recommended by the Planning Staff. There are
two proposed amendments: one to text of the Comprehensive Plan in Chapter 12 – Land
Development Plan and one to a Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Amendments include consideration of a series Plan text changes to Table 12-1: Land Use
and Zoning Matrix. In This Amendment, there are several zoning districts that are recommended
to be added to select Land Use Categories. R-10 (One Family Residence Zone) is proposed to be
added to the Residential Medium Density Land Use Category. C-3 (Service Commercial Zone)
and SC-1 (Shopping Center Commercial Zone) are proposed to be added to the Commercial -
Low Intensity Land Use Category. A notation that “Open Space uses may also exist in other
zones” is proposed to be added to the Open Space Land Use Category. See Revised Table 12-1.
This Amendment is presented as MI-21-04A in Ordinance #2021-10.
And then the Amendments include consideration of a series of items for amendment of Map 12-1:
Land Development Plan to revise the Land Use Classification/Category of specific properties. A

series of twenty (20) areas identified by address and location are recommended for Amendment
on Map 12-1: Land Development Plan. There are areas that function as open space or park areas
that are recommended to move to an Open Space, Conservation, Recreation Land Use
Classification/Category. There are areas where parcel analysis of the residential dwelling usage
or actual type results in a different Residential Land Use Classification/Category. There are
several properties where the Commercial Land Use Classification/Category is recommended to
change to match the current use and zoning of the property as Residential. See the series of Map
Exhibits. The currently adopted Map 12-1: Land Development Plan from the 2019
Comprehensive Plan Map as amended thru March 8, 2021 is provided for reference. A DRAFT
Map 12-1: Proposed Land Development Plan is presented including the recommended
amendments on the full color map showing all land areas of the City. To more easily see the
recommended Amendments, a series of maps showing the Proposed Revisions to Map 12-1: Land
Development Plan Map (Amendment in color) as an overall map and then as a series of Inset
Maps 12-1A thru Map 12-1D. A DRAFT Listing of 4/26/2021 – Summary Table Exhibit of
Proposed Revisions to Map 12-1 provides a listing the specific areas for Amendment. This
Amendment is presented as MI-21-04B in Ordinance #2021-11.
This Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2021 Set #2 Project requires a formal review and
approval process. This process began with the Planning Office’s submission of the Proposed
Comprehensive Plan Amendments as an application for PLUS (Preliminary Land Use Services)
Review in March 2021. Following the PLUS Review Meeting of March 24, 2021, a Letter dated
April 22, 2021 with written comments from the State agencies was received (PLUS #2021-03-
01). The next step for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment involves consideration by the City
of Dover’s Planning Commission and the City Council including Public Hearings. This First
Reading was completed at City Council on April 26, 2021 to introduce the proposed ordinances,
provide drafts of the proposed Amendments, and set the dates for the Public Hearings and
Actions before the Planning Commission and City Council. The Planning Commission Public
Hearing is set for May 17, 2021 at 5:30pm and the City Council Public Hearing is set for June 7,
2021 at 7:00pm with Final Reading & Action by City Council on June 14, 2021 at 7:30pm; all

RE: PLUS review 2021-03-01; city of Dover comprehensive Plan Amendment
Dear Mr. Hugg
Thank you for meeting with State agency planners on March 24,202I to discuss the proposed
Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the City of Dover. This amendment addresses a proposed
Comprehensive Rezoning Project for the City of Dover including the Land Development Plan
Map, Zoning Map, and several text changes.
Office of State Planning Coordination - Contact David Edeell 739-3090
. This series of land use map and text amendments represent the City's comprehensive
rezoning process associated with the recently adopted 2019 comprehensive plan. Local
govemments are required to ensure that their zoning and land use regulations are in
alignment with their comprehensive plans, and these amendments accomplish that
