AX-21-04 Annexation of Right-of-Way of Raymond Street, Grove Street and Railroad Avenue -
Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council on an Annexation Clarification
Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Dover by Annexing the segments of right- of-way in the
vicinity of Tax Parcels: ED-05-067.00-02-53.00-000 and ED-05-067.00-02-56.00-
000. The rights-of-way, known as portions of Raymond Street (aka Jason Street), Railroad
Avenue, and Grove Street and identified on a plan titled “Plot of Land Belonging to The College
Settlement Company,” dated 1899, have a total area of 1.6791+/- acres. Annexation Areas: Area
1: Right-of-way segment of Raymond Street (aka Jason Street) from Mishoe Street to Railroad
Avenue at the railroad corridor. Width of 35 feet. Area Size: 0.6447 acres +/- (28,084 SF); Area
2: Right-of-way segment of Railroad Avenue from Raymond Street and extending north
approximately 1090.24 feet parallel to the railroad corridor. Width of 35 feet. Area Size 0.8737
acres +/- (38,057 SF); Area 3: Right-of-way segment of Grove Street from Raymond Street and
extending north approximately 200 feet to previously abandoned portion of Grove Street. Width
of 35 feet. Area Size: 0.1607 acres+/- (7,000SF). Proposed Council District 4. Ordinance #2021-
23.
Representatives: Mr. Greg Rishel, Pennoni & Associates and Planning Staff
Ms. Bulkilvish stated that this application is for an Annexation Clarification of Right-of-Way of
Raymond Street (also known as Jason Street), Grove Street and Railroad Avenue. It is a
clarification because the surrounding properties have been annexed into the City (Referring to a
Map Exhibit.) Anywhere on the map that is hashed orange is in the County and the rest of it has
frontage along these right-of-ways and is annexed into the City already. The clarification is just
making sure that the remainder of the right-of-way that had been annexed prior to this is now
annexed. This is so that there is no confusion moving forward with anyone who wishes to pursue
2

Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 15, 2021
a development application and needs access to right-of-way. The right-of-way was established in
1899 via a plot of land belonging to the College settlement company. It shows the right-of-way
plotted as Railroad Avenue in blue, Grove Street in pink and Raymond Street in yellow which at
that time, was known as Jason Street. As time went on between 1973 and 2006, portions of the
area were annexed into the City of Dover. In some cases, it did explicitly say in the recorded
documents that in addition to the properties, the right-of-ways in front of those properties were to
be annexed as well and, in some cases,, it left that out completely. What we are trying to do is
just clean things up, make an enclave a little smaller and make sure that this right-of-way is
brought into the City as it was intended to be.
Mr. Rishel stated that he thinks Ms. Bulkilvish did a wonderful job presenting the facts and
figures that were included in the packet. He really doesn’t know if he has a whole lot extra to add
other than they do want to ensure that property owners in this area to the north, who may be
looking at any future development applications, are ensured that there is public right-of-way
fully within the City of Dover to access those parcels. To improve those rights-of-ways with
future City streets and no applications could be done for that without them being able to be heard
by the City of Dover, and not without making sure that they were fully within Dover’s
jurisdiction. So, that is really the purpose of this application. Deeds and records obviously are
quite old and miscellaneous over the years. So really, they just want to kind of make sure that
any holes are cleaned up and that the entire rights-of-way are fully now encumbered by the City
of Dover.
Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing.
Mr. Wyatt Waters – 281 College Road Dover, DE 19904
Mr. Waters stated that the paper that they sent said it was going to improve that area. Is there a
timeline for this? He heard that they said in the future but some of it like Raymond Street aka
Jason Street backs up to his property. Is that going to be developed sometime soon or are you
going to wait for somebody else to move in that area? Responding to Mr. Waters, Mrs. Melson-
Williams stated that this is to clarify that the right-of-way or “property of the street” is within the
City of Dover. Should any adjoining property owner wish to develop, they may need to improve
that roadway or street pavement. There is a portion of Raymond Street that is currently under
City maintenance and that is the piece that is closest to Mishoe Street where you see the sidewalk
along it and then it kind of just stops. There is still some pavement there. If any of the adjoining
properties to the north would seek development, they would have to go through a Site
Development Plan process and likely identify street improvements to be made depending on
what their project is. For any new development, typically there is extension of water and sewer
lines that need to happen as well as appropriate City streets of pavement, sidewalk, curbing and
that kind of thing. Currently, Raymond Street has that for a portion and then it stops. We really
can’t identify a timeline. It would be the burden of those developing to make those
improvements following review and approval by the appropriate City Departments.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the Planning Commission members did receive a letter from
the City Solicitor giving his determination that because the plat of 1899 for the College
Settlement Company identified these streets, that they were anticipated to be dedicated to public
use. Then ultimately if they are developed appropriately, accepted and dedicated to the City of

Dover for maintenance. His letter notes that the ownership of the streets could ultimately be the
City of Dover once we clarify that they are within the City and then they are improved
appropriately.
Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing
Mr. Hartman moved to recommend approval to City Council for Application AX-21-04
Annexation of Right-of-Way of Raymond Street, Grove Street and Railroad Avenue based on the
findings in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan that it is a Top Priority Annexation Area and the City
needs to clarify the boundaries, seconded by Mr. Baldwin and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll
call vote with Mr. Cooper absent. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on what he previously stated.
Mr. Baldwin voting yes; based on the statements made earlier. Dr. Jones voting yes; based upon
the comments from the maker of the motion. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; the Annexation is needed for
the future of the City and it’s appropriate for the Comprehensive Plan. Mrs. Malone voting yes;
she is glad that the Annexation would be consistent in those areas of Raymond Street, Grove
Street and Railroad Avenue. Mr. Roach voting yes. Mrs. Lord voting yes; based on testimony and
other comments previously stated. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for reasons previously stated as
well as comments from the City Solicitor.
C-21-07 – Lands of First State Business Center, LLC.: Two Buildings at 30 Lafferty Lane -
Public Hearing and Review of a Conditional Use Site Plan Application to permit the
construction of two (2) Warehouse Buildings with a combined size of 296,400 SF, a trailer
parking area, and associated site improvements. Building A is proposed at 132,600 SF and
Building B is proposed at 163,800 SF. The property is zoned M (Manufacturing Zone) and is
subject to the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone): Accident Potential Zone I (APZ I) and
Noise Zone A. The property consists of 30 acres and is located on the south side of Lafferty
Lane between Bay Road and Horsepond Road. The owner of record is First State Business
Center, LLC and the equitable owner is Jack Lingo Asset Management, LLC. Property
Address: 30 Lafferty Lane. Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-077.00-01-28.03-000. Council District
2. PLUS Review: #2021-08-04. Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Sidewalk. For
Consideration: Performance Standards Review Application.
Representatives: Mr. Ring Lardner, Davis, Bowen & Friedel; Mr. Cliff Mumford, Davis,
Bowen & Friedel; Mr. Mick Wrisley, Matan Inc.; Mr. Brian Morris, Matan, Inc.; Mr. Nick
Hammonds, Jack Lingo Asset Management, LLC
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this application was originally filed as a Conditional Use Site
Plan and technically as a result of the Text Amendments to the M (Manufactured Zone), it can be
considered as a Site Plan Application. This was noted in the Review Report and she just wanted
to put that on the record to start with. It is identified as Lands of First State Business Center,
LLC and it is a proposal for two very large buildings at 30 Lafferty Lane. It is a property that is
about 30 acres in size and is in the M (Manufacturing Zone) and also subject to AEOZ (Airport
Environs Overlay Zone). As you can see, the Plan depicts two very rectangular buildings that are
surrounded by parking and also includes the kind of central area between the two buildings that
has a series of loading spaces. To the far southern portion of the property is also a trailer drop
area with a large-paved parking area just to the south of a stormwater management facility. With
4

Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 15, 2021
the M (Manufacturing Zone), there is a variety of uses including warehousing that is considered
a permitted use. There are a number of other uses but the specific tenants for this location have
not yet been identified. When they are, we will again check and confirm that those uses are
allowed by the zoning district of the M (Manufacturing Zone) and also as part of the AEOZ
(Airport Environs Overlay Zone). The AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone) crosses the site
both in an Accident Potential Zone and a Noise Zone. Those add additional requirements for
limiting types of particular uses and then also in the construction of the building. This property is
showing a significant number of parking spaces. It is meeting the required parking for the site
and she is pleased to say that this is the first application that has actually identified Electric
Vehicle (EV) parking spaces. That is very encouraging, but they are not sure the type of EV
spaces because there are three different levels. They are hoping that it includes the full
installation of the charging cords as well. There are a significant number of loading spaces that
are identified as fifteen feet wide and sixty feet deep along the central part of the site between the
two buildings. They have also identified bicycle parking on this site as well. The site takes access
from Lafferty Lane. There are three points of access that go into either the employee parking lot
areas or that central loading area between the two buildings. The property is identifying a shared
use path along most of Lafferty Lane; however, the applicant has brought to the Commission this
evening a Waiver Request for the Partial Elimination of Sidewalk. There is a segment along
Lafferty Lane where it may be difficult to fully implement a sidewalk or shared use path; so, they
are seeking relief from that. She will let the applicant note that a little more clearly for the
Commission. The package also includes building architecture. They are looking at kind of a tilt
wall panel system which is a masonry construction that would then be painted. They are showing
a series of ways to divide that wall and include glass entry doors at various points and
highlighting certain corners of the building as well. On the landscaping aspect, they are meeting
the tree planting requirements with over 400 trees required for the site. There are some wetland
areas on the property where they have to implement a riparian buffer and they are showing that.
There are several residential properties across the street from this as two little houses; and they
have implemented the required screening between the parking lot and those residential
properties. In the M (Manufacturing Zone), the project is also subject to our Performance
Standards Review Process. The applicant has submitted a letter identifying that this project is not
anticipated to have any of the dangerous or objectionable elements that our Code identifies.
Those things relate to fire hazards, noise, smoke, vibration, odors, and things of that nature. The
Planning Office has provided review comments on the application. Our recommendations
include that we are recommending approval of the Performance Standards Review Application.
We do note that land use compliance with the use on the property will continue to be evaluated
as the project is more detailed out and actually has tenants for the building spaces. We do note
that there is a proposed right-of-way on an adjacent property and we would like them to evaluate
whether or not there is feasibility to connect to that right-of-way should it be developed as a
public street. We are just asking them to evaluate that. It’s kind of middle way through their site
and we are not sure how feasible it actually is. We are encouraged to see the Electric Vehicle
charging stations. We are hoping that they are EV-installed or they continue to plan for EV-
capable or EV-ready facilities. The DAC Report continues with comments from our other
agencies and she will include those by reference. This application was also required to go
through the PLUS Review Process (the Preliminary Land Use Services Process) with the State.
Their response to that PLUS Review is also included.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 15, 2021
Mr. Lardner stated that he wanted to additionally reference some of the points that Mrs. Melson-
Williams brought up. He will start with the three access points off of Lafferty Lane. They, of
course, will be subject to DelDOT approval. We have a meeting scheduled with them on
Thursday morning. The thought behind that was that they provided employee access for each
building closest to the building. Then truck traffic would be in the middle of the site to separate
the employee traffic from the truck traffic for circulation; and we hope that DelDOT agrees. Mrs.
Melson-Williams also mentioned that they are over parked for their employee parking and that
was done to allow shift changes that occur so that not everyone is trying to fight for the exact
same space. So the over-parking is to allow that shift change to occur and to have ample parking.
The Electric Vehicle parking spaces will be fully equipped with the charging stations and
everything. As mentioned, as the tenants are identified, they will have to comply with the AEOZ
(Airport Environs Overlay Zone) and the Performance Standards as well. That will be checked as
part of the tenant approvals. Going to the sidewalk waivers, it’s about a 125-foot section where
wetlands goes right up to the right-of-way as there is a storm road crossing pipe with a headwall.
So if we were to provide the sidewalk access, it would either need to generally fill in the
wetlands to extend that road crossing or they could put a bridge in or move pedestrians closer to
the roadway. None of those are really great options. They are not aware of any development to
the south of this property; so, they have requested a waiver at this point in time. Should this body
agree to that waiver, DelDOT would also have to agree to that waiver. So if DelDOT says no and
you say no, we will find a way to provide that pedestrian connectivity as safely as possible. If
there is a reason behind that and it is more of an environmental issue and just the way Lafferty
Lane was constructed. As far as the interconnection to the new construction road that is shown
adjacent to the property, we had started to look into it. We have to kind of see how far to the east
it goes. It may be more appropriate for an employee connection to control traffic given that they
are on a very narrow stretch of road and to try to make truck traffic there would be very difficult.
It is not out of the question to make that connection so they would think that employee
interconnection would be more appropriate than to create that truck traffic but they will continue
to evaluate that in the process.
Mr. Roach questioned for such a massive project, do you have a tenant already in mind?
Responding to Mr. Roach, Mr. Lardner stated that they have a tenant in mind. Matten has
millions of square feet of warehouse in a spec building and then they go and talk to other tenants.
They had a discussion with the Kent Economic Partnership and their team has identified that this
type of warehouse size is of need, especially in Kent County. They are fully supportive to help
find tenants. It is getting the approval first and that way the tenants know that it is a viable
project going forward. The tenants will come forth probably before we have Final Site Plan
Approval as they make the appropriate steps in the management process.
Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing.
Mr. Mick Wrisley – Matan Companies
Mr. Wrisley stated that he wanted to reiterate what Mr. Lardner said. Thank you to Mrs. Melson-
Williams and Staff for the support through this project in Dover.

Mr. Morris stated that he concurs with what Mr. Wrisley says and they are excited to be in

Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing.
Mr. Hartman questioned if this was no longer a Conditional Use but now a Site Plan?
Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that it is labeled as a Conditional Use
but as of last Monday, technically all it requires is a Site Development Plan. She thinks that you
can reference it as and /or.
Mr. Hartman moved to approve C-21-07 – Lands of First State Business Center, LLC.: Two
Buildings at 30 Lafferty Lane and the approval of the Site Plan Application as well as approval
of the (Performance) Standard Review Application and approval of the Waiver Request for the
partial elimination of sidewalk with the understanding that DelDOT will also have to comment
on this, seconded by Dr. Jones and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Cooper
absent. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based upon presentation of the applicant’s findings and
recommendations of the DAC Report and the applicant’s answer to the Performance Standards
letter. Mr. Baldwin voting yes. Dr. Jones voting yes; based upon the fact that the applicant is
working very hard to bring this application to reality and the requests are viable. Mrs. Welsh
voting yes; for all of the reasons previously stated. Mrs. Malone voting yes; for reasons stated.
Mr. Roach voting yes; for reasons previously stated and they continue to cooperate with the
Planning Staff and they have tried to explore other options in regards to the right-of-way as it
pertains to that application. Mrs. Lord voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs. Maucher
voting yes; for reasons stated.
S-21-10 Modwash: Car Wash at 1414 N DuPont Highway - Public Hearing and Review of a
Site Plan Application for construction of a 4,660 SF Car Wash facility and associated site
improvements. The property is zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) and is subject to
SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone): Tier 3 – Excellent Recharge Area. The
property consists of 1.93 acres (83,999 SF) and is located on the west side of North DuPont
Highway, south of Rustic Lane. The owner of record is Dover Millex II, LLC and the
developer is Hutton Build (Ray Garganio). Property Address: 1414 N. DuPont Highway. Tax
Parcel Number: ED-05-057.00-01-17.00-000. Council District 4. Waiver Request: Partial
Elimination of Upright Curbing (to Allow Use of Rolled Curb).
Representatives: Mr. Edward Farrell, BL Companies; Mr. Ray Garganio, Hutton Build; Mr.
Kester Kelly, BL Companies
Mr. Swierczek stated that this is a proposal for a Site Development Plan application for a Car
Wash at 1414 North DuPont Highway. This is a one story 4,660 SF building located on the
west side of North DuPont Highway, opposite of the entrance of the Dover Mall area. They
have submitted a partial elimination of upright curbing waiver request. For the site, they are
proposing in addition to the main Car Wash facility, a total of eighteen parking spaces that you
see in the center. Those are to be accompanied by vacuum cleaning equipment. On the drive
aisle, there are an additional seven parking spaces for twenty-five total. These seven parking
spaces are not proposed to host any type of carpeting (cleaning) equipment but rather to serve
as employee parking. As a quick note, the zoning of the property is C-4 (Highway Commercial

Zone) and it is subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone). It has an
established interpretation by our previous Director that a Car Wash facility does not constitute
a motor vehicle service rather that is intended more for uses like auto mechanic shops. This
rather serves as a personal service establishment and therefore would be compliant with the
SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone). As noted, the applicants have submitted a
waiver request for the partial elimination of upright curbing for a portion of the drive aisle
leading into the main entrance of the facility of which Planning Staff has granted approval so
as to allow for traffic circulation. It had additionally noted in the Waiver Request that they
were requesting a full, from six inches down to at grade elimination of curbing at what you see
at the bottom of the Site Plan to allow for stormwater management. Planning Staff, in the DAC
Report, had noted a couple advisory comments for the location of the dumpster enclosure
which is located at the front of the property near the main entrance. Also a couple items in
regards to traffic circulation which most notably was a concern once a car was to enter the
property that they would not be able to exit; however, the applicants have indicated that there
will be the ability for a Staff person to allow them to exit through one of those kiosk gates.
There are a couple other items on landscaping and tree planting locations and the screening of
service equipment. He will note that the applicants have indicated that they are more than
willing to be cooperative and work with Planning Staff on addressing those items and as
established in the DAC process. Staff concerns in regards to the dumpster enclosure were
eliminated by again their willingness to move it but also that fact that it was a rather handsome
dumpster.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Mr. Garganio is using a display of the map to describe the
project.
Mr. Garganio stated that they have agreed to move the trash enclosure. What usually happens
operationally is that you are going to come in the entrance, come around the corner and go to
the tunnel. There is employee parking but there is a small pre-wash where someone can scrub
the bugs off the front. There are three lanes that people can go through. The first two are
regular where you stop. This is where one employee is at all times to make sure that everybody
can pay the bills. The outside lane is a VIP lane that has a license plate reader. So as people get
into the process and buy the monthly plans, this is the lane that they will go through and they
don’t really get stopped. They come through, the light says go and they go around. That is huge
for us when it comes to stacking because within a few months of opening these stores, we have
found with these that this location will get as much as 50% early on of cars going through the
process. A more mature store will get as many as 70-75% of cars that go through this (VIP)
lane. Say someone gets so far in the line and gets stuck. They can let them go through the VIP
lane to get to a bypass that can get them out of the line. It doesn’t happen often but it is
something that we have to be prepared for. They go through the Car Wash. As they come out,
one of the interesting things about the way we are building it and most modern car washes are,
all of the water is going into the center of the location. Very little water comes out of the
tunnel. What happens there is that it goes to a recycling area of three two-thousand gallon
tanks. We recycle about 25% of the water that they use. When you come out of the location,
that area is heated concrete so if there is any water that comes off the car, it’s going to hit the
heated concrete. You are not making puddles and ice and all of the things that car washes have
always had issues with. The next stop is going to be the number 2 employee. You would have
8
11

Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 15, 2021
between 2 and 5 employees to make sure that they are lined up well. They are going to come to
the free vacuums. Those vacuums overhang; they reach and come with compressed air if you
want to blow things out. We’ve got towels and cleaners that people can use to clean their cars
outside and inside. There is a third employee that’s wandering, making sure that the trash is
picked up and making sure that there are enough towels and enough liquids. A lot of times,
they are busy during weekends or nights. If they are busy, there will be a fourth employee
whose office is in the corner. They see everything and they can kind of deploy to where they
need to be. Hours are 8AM-8PM and lights come on an hour before 8AM go out by 9PM. Any
types of deliveries and trash pickups are done normally around 7:30AM before the location
opens. We want all of that in and out before people start coming to the site.
Mr. Hartman questioned that if he were to come in 100 or 150 feet off of the highway, would
he have to option to turn around at that point or will he have to sit in line all the way around to
VIP lane? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Garganio stated that if you make a wrong turn off
the highway, if it’s really busy you might get stuck but you can go into different lanes and turn
around. There is 24 feet of two-way aisle there so you have the ability to make a turn. The
tunnel can wash 120 cars an hour. They don’t normally go quite that fast but that’s what it is
set at. Sometimes there are people who go in and spend just a few minutes, some people detail
their cars and somewhere around half just get their cars washed. As a company, we have
twenty-four open across the country; two locations are close to here in New Jersey. They have
twenty-four under construction and we have one hundred forty-five that are in this process
right now for building.
Dr. Jones questioned why would a car get stuck? Would it be because of a wrong turn?
Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Garganio stated that if they make a wrong turn and don’t realize
it until they are at a certain point then they will have to be led around and will have to just wait.
We do have a bypass to make sure that they don’t get stuck going through the tunnel. If they
only get to a certain point then they have the ability to turn around and go back out. If they
don’t realize it until they are too far in, there is just no place to go and they will have to wait
until they get to the bypass lane.
Dr. Jones questioned if it was a self-guided departure? Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Garganio
stated no, if somebody gets stuck and they need to not go through the tunnel and not pay, the
employee who is working this area will direct them out and show them were to go. It doesn’t
happen often, but it does happen.
Dr. Jones stated that it does happen. Somebody may get in and say they don’t really want to
pay this price. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Garganio stated or they get up there and they
don’t have their wallet. When it’s busy time on like Saturdays and Sundays, there will be a
third person that is wandering. If they see this person backing up, they are coming to help. That
is the whole concept of keeping people moving.
Mrs. Lord stated that you said that you recycle the water that comes off of the vehicles and
25% of it gets recycled clean for under carriage maintenance. What happens to the other 75%?
Responding to Mrs. Lord, Mr. Garganio stated that a small percentage of it is evaporated and
what is left over goes into the sanitary system.

Mr. Baldwin stated that everybody seems to be driving pickup trucks now; some of them are
covered and some are not. Frequently, he has come past a Car Wash and an uncovered pickup
is coming out and spewing water. So how much water is left in the bed of a pickup truck once
they go through your Car Wash? Responding to Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Garganio stated that he
could get him that answer but he really doesn’t know. He does know that when you come out,
when the water first starts coming out, it’s going to run back to the Car Wash. Our slopes are
back to the car wash and into the pit there. So, you are going to get some of it that way. If
somebody has a full load in the back of their car, a lot of it is going to hit that heated concrete
in the back and evaporate. If somebody has a really full load of water in the back of their
pickup truck, some of that is going to get on the road. Their Car Wash is setup up for an F250
truck to fit but if you have an F250 it is tight, but you can get in. That’s the reason why for the
rolled curb because no matter how much space we leave there, somebody is going to hit that
curb strip or they are going to hit it and bust their car up. They put it in the areas where you
have the tight turns so if somebody pulls up on the curb a little bit it’s not going to destroy their
car. He thinks that they probably gather more (water) than others because of the way of their
angle and the way they do it. But if it’s got tight bed and it’s holding a lot of water he doesn’t
think that they can get all of it.
Mr. Baldwin stated that he was just wondering how much of it got on the highway. Responding
to Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Garganio stated that he is not sure that it will make it to the highway but
he doesn’t know.
Mr. Farrell stated that hopefully it goes to the vacuum area and it helps clear that water out.
Mr. Garganio stated that they do some things to stop that but if it’s a lot they can’t get it all .
One of the things that they do is just learn from other people’s mistakes. A lot of people have
their exit go straight to the highway. We don’t do that, we put in turns because what we have
found is when you do that, if you have a problem on the highway and it starts backing up, you
have to turn it off. You have to stop the tunnel. You stop the tunnel and there are all types of
bad things that happen. For us not to allow the tunnel to get stopped, even from an engineering
standpoint, they will tell you that we are always turning and making angles to try and keep the
traffic flowing. If they back up where people are getting out, we have just as big of a problem.
Mrs. Lord stated that she just wondering why you chose this location because there are quite a
few car washes as soon as you get off Route 1 into the center of town. She is just curious as to
why you chose that spot because it seems like we have quite a few car washes already and
that’s a lot of competition. Mr. Garganio stated that he is not in the real estate department but
he does have lots of conversations with them. A lot of it comes down to local real estate and
finding a good site is how many people they think use car washes and where the traffic is on
the highway. They look at all of the different demographics. They have figured out who uses
car washes and this meets all of those. He thinks from a standpoint of competition, he thinks
that ours is a brand new system that people like and we do well against competition of smaller
versions of car washes. This thing does a real nice job cleaning.
Mr. Hartman questioned if Planning Staff was satisfied with the traffic circulation that is
10

Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 15, 2021
presented. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Swierczek stated yes, we did address some of the
concerns in additional discussions with the DAC Report and the applicants noting our concern
about traffic flow. They allayed most of our concerns by pointing out that they will have Staff
onsite when operating to assist anyone who may need to exit without necessarily paying for
services. As they had stated, our concerns that related to the dumpster enclosure, we did note
that it may have been located there to allow for the trucks to enter and exit efficiently. But they
found another way to address that without negatively impacting traffic flow. They will
certainly be keeping Planning Commission in the loop if there are any significant changes to
that but he thinks that Planning Staff is satisfied on where it is and where it’s going.
Mrs. Maucher questioned if cars drive through or are they pulled through? Responding to Mrs.
Maucher, Mr. Garganio stated that the tire gets on a roller and just rolls it through the tunnel.
Mrs. Maucher stated that you can speed up. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Garganio stated
that if for some reason it got really busy, they can speed up the tunnel. They just have pretty
much a standard speed.
Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing.
Mr. Farrell stated that he would like to address some of the comments that came up from the
DAC meeting, some of which were actually taken care of by Mr. Garganio. We have an
updated Draft Site Plan that we can show you here to add a little bit of a visual to what he is
going to tell you. One of the first things that they wanted to address due to the circulation was
the location of the trash enclosure. Although it had been deemed canceled, we did move it
towards the back of the site so it’s not the first thing you see when customers, first access the
site. It’s situated in such a position also so when a truck does enter, we did put in a way where
they could make the K turn back into the bypass driveway and make their way back out of the
site through the main driveway. The other thing that came up with the trash enclosure was the
actual screening with the trees. We provided screening around the trash enclosure but due to
the robust nature of those trees, it was asked that we move them back from the enclosure which
will be perfectly fine. They will address that and go back for a solution. Something else that we
did hear was that they spoke to Fire Marshal and we wanted to take care of everything that he
wanted us to do. One of the main things was access to the building. As a single story, the Fire
Ordinance calls for at least a ten feet separation between the building and the parking lot
spaces. The plan that was submitted to the Commission was seven feet wide and we have
pushed it three feet more. Since we are still inside the setbacks, the only real difference to the
site was that there is just a very slight off-set. The next thing that was brought to our attention
was a sidewalk connection for pedestrians. This will probably be more towards employees than
the actual customers. We made a connection to the public sidewalk and they would be crossing
over where the exit tunnel is and right into the main area for access to the building. What they
are also providing here is that we did have on our original plan for bike parking. We are
proposing for the number of spaces there requires two bike parking spaces, but they are
providing those by the exit. Other than that, our Waiver Request was revised from the Planner.
Our original waiver was asking for relief from the 6-inch curb throughout the entire site. We
have since reduced the request. We are using 6-inch curb which is most of the perimeter and
the 4-inch curb internally because of these tight turns. It is just a safety measure for circulation
11

Paj 15
Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 15, 2021
and then also we have some depressed curb areas which are used for proper sheet flow for
stormwater runoff. This is actually something that Kent Conservation District looks for with
this depressed curb along the back so it follows pretty close to what the existing runoff
condition is.
Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing.
Mr. Roach questioned if it was a Car Wash where you can pull up and get out of your car or do
you stay in your car? Responding to Mr. Roach, Mr. Garganio stated that you stay in your car.
Mr. Hartman moved to approve S-21-10 Modwash: Car Wash at 1414 N DuPont Highway
based upon the comments from the Planning Office, the presentation by the applicant and the
findings in the DAC Meeting, seconded by Mr. Baldwin and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll
call vote with Mr. Cooper absent. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on the comments in the
motion. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; based on Staff recommendations and it seems like a good
project. Dr. Jones voting yes; for reasons already stated. It sounds like an exciting experience.
Mrs. Welsh voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs. Malone voting yes; for reasons
previously stated. Mr. Roach voting yes; he appreciates the addition and he feels as though it
is big. As our City continues to grow, the more car washes we will need. Mrs. Lord voting yes;
for reasons previously stated. Mrs. Maucher voting yes for reasons previously stated.
S-21-12 Rail Haus at 92 North West Street - Public Hearing and Review of a Site Development
Plan and Lot Consolidation Plan Application to permit the conversion of an existing one-story,
2,890 SF building and outdoor areas to be utilized as a Restaurant (Eating & Drinking
Establishment) with associated site improvements. The properties consist of a total 0.820+/-
acres and are located adjacent to the east side of the railroad corridor along N. West Street
between Fulton Street and Cecil Street. The properties are zoned C-2A (Limited Central
Commercial Zone). The owner of record is Donny Legans. Property Addresses: 92 N. West
Street and unaddressed parcel on Fulton Street. Tax Parcels: ED-05-076.08-01-16.00-000 and
ED-05-076.08-01-44.00-000. Council District 4. Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of
Curbing, Reduction of Parking Requirement, and Elimination of Frontage Sidewalk along
Fulton Street. Previous Applications: MI-21-01B Comprehensive Plan Amendment: Land Use
Classification and Z-21-02 Rezoning from M to C-2A.
Representatives: Mr. Jonathan Street, Becker Morgan Group; Mr. Donny Legans, Owner
Mr. Swierczek stated that this is a Site Development Plan and it is also a Lot Consolidation Plan
that involves two parcels of land along the railroad right-of-way at 92 North West Street and an
additional unaddressed parcel. The sites were both recently subject of a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment MI-21-01B which had sought to change the Land Use designation of the properties
from Industrial to Mixed Use. That was at the beginning of this year and it was approved by
Council at their March 2021 meeting and that change in the Land Use designation allowed for
the rezoning of the properties from M (Manufacturing Zone) to C-2A (Limited Central
Commercial Zone) under application Z-21-02. Once that new Land Use was established, it was
to allow for this proposed use to be considered in a Site Development Plan Application. The
applicant is proposing to use the existing previously industrial building there and repurpose it to
be used as a brew pub but more specifically, the Code would consider this as a restaurant use.

You can see in this rendering that it doesn’t look like the same building but he has been assured
that it is. They do intend to include red rectangular structures and they would be additions to the
existing structure. The large one that you see in the image to the left is to be used as the main
kitchen space and the one on the right would be more of an outdoor bar area. Mixed in between
would be a whole host of outdoor recreational facilities. It is going to be an indoor and outdoor
type of facility. They have included with their submission a couple of Wavier Requests. The first
one is a Waiver Request for the reduction in parking requirements. The Zoning Ordinance does
allow for potential reduction in parking to be considered by the Planning Commission by no
more than 50% if the applicant can demonstrate that they meet certain conditions. They have
submitted a Waiver Request noting that based on the proposed seating counts for dining and the
proposed seating count for the bar areas, that they would have a requirement for thirty-one (31)
vehicle parking spaces. They are requesting to have that reduced to twenty-five (25) vehicle
parking spaces. They have noted specifically that they are intending to provide bicycle parking at
a rate in which the Zoning Ordinance allows that for every five bicycle parking spaces above the
base requirement, you can use that to potentially to sort of offset a vehicle parking requirements.
They are in the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area which additionally qualifies them for
potentially up to another 20% reduction in parking space requirements. They have noted their
proximity to mass transit, the Downtown Area and the Senator Bike Way which runs along the
right side of the site. Another Waiver Request that they have asked for is for the partial
elimination of upright curbing. Planning Staff has the ability to consider that Waiver Request and
has granted that. Specifically in their request for the waiver of the upright curbing requirements,
the right-of-way for the railroad is running along the narrow parcel where the vehicle parking is
proposed for. The twenty-five spaces there and the sort of tight nature of that parcel of land
means that in order to accommodate that 6-inch upright curbing would require them to lower the
parking area by 6 inches which would be practical to accommodate. The final Waiver Request
that they asked for is for the elimination of the sidewalk on a street frontage specifically on
Fulton Street. This is a rather unique layout in that you can see Fulton Street on the left sort of
dead-ends where the entrance to this site would be located. Basically, implementing that
sidewalk would not be practical. It is an unfinished portion of Fulton Street. There are no
sidewalk or other pedestrian facilities there right now.
Mr. Street stated that he gave the Planning Commission members a quick handout of what they
have in front of them. It is an existing view of the old Southern States parcel. It is very industrial.
It has been left vacant for thirty years. The next page is basically the same view of what they are
proposing, which is a more open-air bar/drinking and eating establishment to be located on the
same parcels of land. This includes indoor eating and there will be a mixture of outdoor eating,
lounge space and transitional spaces for waiting in addition to probably more recreation on the
parcel. The third view is a view from the opposite angle of West Street itself. Just to clarify a few
things for the Commission and Staff, the first additional photo is actually the section of
unimproved roadway that we are asking for the partial elimination of the frontage sidewalk.
There currently is no City infrastructure on that roadway. There is no egress or ingress on the
property itself on that side; so, we feel that building that additional piece of sidewalk is a little
impractical as it sits right now. The second photo is actually looking down along the railway
itself and what will be the parking area. This is to give the Planning Commission an idea of the
existing ground adjacent to the railway itself that the parking lot is going to be put up against.
About a foot off that parcel line building with the six inch curb and providing that grade
13

Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 15, 2021
differential that close to the property line is a little impractical as it sits right now. It also allows
us to not have to lower that parking lot anymore. The overall idea to manage stormwater for the
site is to actually construct impervious pavement for the parking lot itself. We have been through
Phase 1 and we are in the middle of a Contaminated Materials Management Plan which is just a
safety factor that DNREC requires before we do any investigation. There is multiple previously
closed out monitoring wells based on some activity in the area. We are in the middle of getting a
Phase 2 for that right now and have approval from DNREC to move forward with that. We are
going to take all of that water that the site may generate and basically infiltrate it back through
the parking lot itself. For the parking reduction itself that Mr. Swierczek mentioned, this is along
the Senator Bike Way. We are a block from Division Street and what Mr. Legans has proposed is
an additional thirty-five bicycle parking spaces. They hope that this is a more pedestrian friendly
and bicycle friendly kind of establishment. With that, the Code does allow the ratios of one
parking space for every five bicycle spaces above and beyond the requirement. He believes that
the current requirement is two spaces. There is a 20% reduction in parking that is allowed and
based on our count, that gets us right to the sweet spot of about twenty-four or twenty-five
spaces.
Mr. Legans stated that he is excited to be a part of Dover resurgence, to take a building that has
been vacant for thirty-years and bring new life to it and bring new energy to the area. This is a
family friendly, kid friendly and dog friendly restaurant. We take our commitment the
community seriously and our community engagement seriously as you can tell by the number of
supports that we have either in this room or on the call or the letters of support by the nearby
neighbors. We are just excited to be a part of this. He can answer any questions in detail about
this plan because he has lived it for sixteen months. We are still going forward on it and he is
excited to be a part of it.
Mr. Hartman stated that it seems that the only access to walk into the site is from the parking lot
and from West Street, is that correct? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Legans stated that is
correct.
Mr. Hartman stated that he certainly agrees that there is not a reason to put a sidewalk on that
undeveloped area of Fulton Street. Judging from the support from your neighbors, he would have
been concerned about the traffic parking on West Street, but you have such support that he can’t
see any problem with that either. Thank you very much for a good presentation. He was against
this initially as a Mixed Use area but you have convinced me and he is fully supportive.
Dr. Jones stated that this is a family friendly restaurant. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Legans
stated that is correct.
Dr. Jones stated that she is very glad to hear that. She has read through all of the letters of
support and people talking about date night and so forth. She is saying to herself that she would
like to go out and take her grandchildren out so she is glad to hear that. It’s exciting to hear that
you are going to be a part of the revitalization of Dover. Some things have happened in that
geographical area recently that she thinks are conducive for what you are proposing. Responding
to Dr. Jones, Mr. Legans stated that it is definitely family friendly and multi-generational. It is
mixed use. You now have Del State two blocks away, the Air Force Base that is a few minutes

away, and Del Tech. There is a big mixture Downtown and we hope to be a part of that. With
having it be no steps at all in the whole place, whether it’s hard for you to walk or you have a
stroller or anything like that, we want it to be almost a zero entry.
Dr. Jones stated that she doesn’t know if he is from this area but most of us who have been
around for a long time know that we have a lot of newcomers who are looking for a classy
restaurant. A restaurant where there is great cuisine, service and ambience. Will we have that?
Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Legans stated that we will absolutely have that.
Mr. Roach stated that he is super excited for this addition. He had a question regarding sprinkler
and the fence on the back end towards the railroad tracks. He would just say be careful on
Sundays because he knows that street very well. The mix of the church parking and as successful
as your business is going to be because we need this in Dover, and your twenty-five spaces. Like
he said before, he understands what the Code says with a combination of bicycle parking. He is
not opposed to it at all. He is letting him know right now that what he is bringing to this City is
something that has always been needed and wanted. He is just giving him a heads up. Also, our
transient foot traffic and homeless is very prevalent here. It’s just a suggestion because he will be
there as soon as it opens up. As far as the ability to be able to access it through that front part and
the parking lot, just maybe have staff be aware of people who come in. Like he said before it’s a
welcomed addition and he will probably be there opening night. Responding to Mr. Roach, Mr.
Legans stated that he has been talking to Bishop Lewis and Pastor Grimes about the church that
is across the street. There is a way to utilize more parking of the area through some sort of
collaboration but he is also working with the hours of opening where it doesn’t interfere with the
church crowds. We do want a Sunday brunch but we will definitely accommodate them. To be
classified as a beer garden, we have to hire twenty-five full time staff so we will have more than
enough to man all of the entryways.
Mrs. Lord stated that she is super excited about this. She is from Northern Virginia and grew up
around the Manassas area; she lived there for most of her life. They had a little town called
Leesburg and it had a lot of the problems that Dover had. It just wasn’t taking off for some
reason and everyone was shaking their heads as to why. Somebody opened up an establishment a
whole lot like Mr. Legans is proposing right here and the next thing you knew, the whole town
took off like wildfire. There were many different types of establishments and people were super
excited to go Downtown again. Now, it’s just bustling. This is going to be a massive win for the
City.
Mr. Roach questioned if this was going to be similar to Crooked Hammock? Responding to Mr.
Roach, Mr. Legans stated absolutely. He was not going to mention that.
Mr. Roach stated that he has lived here all of his life except when he went to college to get his
degree and he came back here so that he could work for his community. It is irritating to live
here and have to go either to Middletown, Lewes or Smyrna; somewhere outside of his own city
to relax and walk home after partaking in a few drinks. He has been to places like this and if they
have the right staff and control, it’s literally one of the best places to have.
Dr. Jones questioned the name of the place that they were mentioning? Responding to Dr. Jones,

Mr. Legans stated Crooked Hammock Brewery and they are located in Lewes and also
Middletown. They are an indoor and outdoor restaurant with a kid’s playground right in the
middle.
Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing.
Mr. Todd Stonesifer – 115 N State Street Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Stonesifer stated that he lives just a few blocks away from where Mr. Legans plans to open
his establishment. Apparently, the Commission doesn’t need him here to speak in support, but he
will be the first customer as well. He is fully in support for all reasons that everyone is talking
about. Dover needs this. He happens to be the President of the Downtown Dover Partnership as
well as the founding member of an organization called Destination Downtown Dover. He says
that because he is not here speaking on behalf of those two organizations, but you can tell that I
have a passion for all things Downtown. He grew up here and this is absolutely what we need.
Mr. Cameron Llewellyn – Tidemark Construction – 117 W Reed Street Dover, DE 19904
Mr. Llewellyn stated that he and his wife own a business located at 9 West Loockerman Street
and a small office facility on Reed Street. With the exit of the Governors Café, the exit of 33
West and the exit after exit, we look at these brew pubs that are very successful in industrial
facilities. If you look at Mispillion River Brewing, he can’t ride his bicycle there. He can ride his
bicycle to this facility or he can walk there with his kids. They are fully in support for a lot of the
reasons as Mr. Stonesifer. We really need to start bringing businesses back to Downtown Dover
because COVID really hurt us as a community
Mr. Kirk Johnson – 39 N American Ave Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Johnson stated that he is just outside of the 200-foot notification zone but the owner of the
property and the developer have been very kind to keep us all appraised to what is going on. He
has been following this project through the process and has spoken at earlier meetings in support
of it. He is excited by the Site Plan and he is looking forward to the development of the property
that has been sitting vacant for so long. He hopes that the Commission will approve the project
as proposed and look forward to seeing their votes.
Mr. Swierczek stated that not that they need any more support but we certainly have it. The
Planning Office was inundated with calls of support. Five letters or emails of support were sent
in the packets. The Commission was emailed this evening and also provided on their desks with
an additional sixteen letters of support. This afternoon, the Planning Office did additionally
receive a phone call from Bishop Nelson Lewis of Mt. Carmel Church of the Living God at 117
N. West Street and he specifically said that he is in full support of this project.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that since she has come into this room, there have been two
additional emails. There was an email received from Ms. Jillian Wood at 5:21PM and she is
noting her support of the Rail Haus coming to Dover as a new business. The other email was
from Mr. Nick Fine at 7:49PM, again, emailing support for the Rail Haus. He notes that he is
currently stationed at Dover Air Force Base and will be transitioning to the Reserves and will be
staying in the Dover area. He personally knows Kim Legans and notes that “he can’t think of
anyone better to open an amazing business like this. What an incredible idea that will benefit so

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 15, 2021
many in the heart of Downtown Dover; an area that we all know needs something of this
magnitude to improve the area around it. Not only will this benefit the local population but will
also provide a much needed venue for our military people.” He notes that “Kim and her husband
love this town and have invested heavily in it.” He notes his “full endorsement of an incredible
idea by amazing people in a wonderful Downtown.”
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that as Mr. Swierczek noted, the sixteen emails that kept coming
all day today were all in support of this venture.
Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing.
Dr. Jones stated that the excitement is building. She realizes that this is a Site Plan and you are in
the early stages. Do you have a target date? Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Legans stated spring of
2022.
Mrs. Lord moved to approve S-21-12 Rail Haus at 92 North West Street as it is a much needed
boost to Dover. It is an amazing concept and an amazing plan with lots of multi activity for
everybody and lots of outdoor seating and bike access. She wants to pull her bike out and ride it
around and this would be a great opportunity to use her bike. She also included the Waiver
Requests.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Planning Staff had already granted approval of the partial
elimination of upright curbing that is associated with the parking area. The second Waiver is a
reduction in the parking requirement for the site and the third Waiver is the elimination of

APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY
D.A.C. MEETING DATE: December 1, 2021
APPLICATION: Stonebrook East – Planned Neighborhood Design – Revised Subdivision Plan
FILE #: SB-21-05 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning
CONTACT PERSON: Samantha Bulkilvish, AICP PHONE #: (302) 736-7196
I. PLAN SUMMARY
This Application is the Review of a Revised Planned Neighborhood Design (PND) Subdivision
Plan to decrease the minimum width for townhomes from 22 feet to 20 feet. In addition, the
proposed location of Alleys A, B, and C have been changed slightly to allow for a more uniform
lot depth for all townhouse lots. There are no increase or decrease in the proposed number of
units. The number of townhomes is to remain at 103 townhomes and the number of garden
apartments is to remain at 138 for a total of 241 dwelling units. The project is located on the
northeast corner of the intersection of McKee Road and W. Denney’s Road. The site area is
equal to 45.75 acres +/-. The property is zoned RM-1 (Residential Medium-Density Zone) and is
subject to PND (Planned Neighborhood Design). The Owner of Record is Stonebrook East 168
LLC and Lamboll Stonebrook East, LLC. Property Address: intersection of McKee Road and W.
Denney’s Road. Tax Parcels: ED05-057.03-01-01.00 through 92.00. Council District 1. Revised
Plans dated November 23, 2021. This is a proposed amendment to SB-21-05 Stonebrook East
PND.
Previous Applications
A Conditional Use C-07-01 for a conceptual plan for a Planned Neighborhood Design (PND)
was approved by Planning Commission in February 2007. Shortly after on November 19, 2007, a
Subdivision Plan (SB-07-07) was presented to Planning Commission for Stonebrook East PND
and was approved with Alternative Design Standards for both townhouses and garden
apartments. A Final Revised Record Plan was approved by the Planning Office on September 29,
2010 which superseded a previous Record Plan approved on November 26, 2008 after returning
to Planning Commission for approval of revised building architecture and placement of the
garden apartments in April of 2008. The Final Approved PND Plan consisted of 87 Townhomes
(labeled as Lots 1 to 87) and 168 Garden Apartments for a total of 255 units, streets, and open
space including active recreation spaces in the form of a pool and clubhouse, basketball court, tot
lot and gazebo. At their meeting of August 16, 2021, the Planning Commission granted
Conditional Approval to the Revised Subdivision Plan SB-21-05 for 103 Townhouses and 138
Garden Apartments as well as some revised Alternative Design Standards for the Garden
Apartment buildings.
II. PLANNED NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN OPTION:
26
Paj 27
Item 4.
SB-21-05 Revised Subdivision Plan for Stonebrook East PND
DAC Report of December 8, 2021
Page 2
The applicant is seeking approval under the Planned Neighborhood Design Option (see Zoning
Ordinance Article 3, Section 24.1(a). The Ordinance sets forth a three-step review and approval
process. As the first step in the review process, the developer presented the concept in a general
sketch plan to the City Council on July 24, 2006. The City Council determined that the proposed
project was of a design and type that warranted further review by the Planning Commission. The
submittal of the Conceptual Plan to the Planning Commission for Conditional Use review and
public hearing was the second step in the process and was completed in February 2007 under the
file # C-07-01. Stonebrook East PND was approved as a Preliminary Subdivision Plan during
the Planning Commission Meeting of November 19, 2007. The Final Plat was approved as an
administrative function on November 26, 2008 and later revised and approved on September 29,
2010.
It is important to keep in mind that this proposal does not involve a rezoning of the land. The
Planned Neighborhood Design Option is plan specific. The land would remain zoned RM-1. The
following are permitted in a Planned Neighborhood Design: single family detached dwellings,
one family lot line dwellings, duplexes, multiplex dwellings, townhouses, patio houses, garden
apartments, and mid-rise apartments. The PND option allows for a greater variety of housing
types and allows for commercial uses while requiring 25% open space. The maximum density
for a PND in the RM-1 zoning is six (6) dwelling units per acre. The subdivision plan which was
given Conditional Approval in August of 2021 had 70.33% open space and a density of 5.26
dwelling units per acre. The proposed changes shown on this Subdivision Plan (SB-21-05
Revised) put the open space at 74.25% with a density of 5.26 dwelling units per acre. The
density has not changed as the number of units has not changed.
PND - Approved Alternative Design Standards and Requested Changes
The applicant requested adjustments to the required design standards of a Planned Neighborhood
Design in the RM-1 zoning district as part of the Conceptual Subdivision Plan Application.
During the Conceptual Plan approval stage of 2007, Planning Commission granted approval of
the Alternative Design Standards. Article 3 §24.5 of the Zoning Ordinance permits the Planning
Commission to grant such adjustments. On August 19, 2021 Planning Commission Granted
Conditional Approval to the Alternative Design Standards for the Garden Apartments including:
an increase number of stories from 3 to 4, Increased building height from 35 ft. to 48 ft., and an
increase from 24 units per building to 35 units per building. Previously the Planning Commission
found them to be in harmony with the spirit of the Planned Neighborhood Design Option and
granted approval to these Alternative Design Standards for Stonebrook East PND. These bulk
standards govern the layout and design of the overall subdivision.
Requested Changes December 2021
The requested Alternative Design Standards for townhouses are what is under review with the
Revised Subdivision Plan SB-21-05 at this time.
• Decreased lot width from previously approved 22 feet to 20 feet.
The following table presents the Alternative Design Standards approved for this project of
Stonebrook East PND and the changes requested.

IV. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE – General
The applicant submitted new renderings of the proposed townhouses (November 29, 2021). The
townhomes show a mix of different color Dutch lap siding with board and batten siding on some
of the units as exterior finishes, shingled roofing, windows with shutters, dormers and small
portico over the front door. The submission does not show the rear of the proposed buildings.
The applicant has informed us that there will be no garages, but there will be a parking pad
suitable for two vehicles at the rear of the homes with access from the alleys.
V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
All Site Considerations remain in effect that were detailed in the D.A.C. Report dated August 4,
2021. In addition, the Alleys A, B, and C have been moved slightly to allow for more uniform lot
depth for all townhouse lots. This does not appear to impact the street network layout internal to
the project.
Previously Approved Waivers
Waiver: Sidewalks - Combined Placement and Alternative Materials
In 2007, a waiver was granted by the Planning Commission to allow for the construction of a
ten-foot multi-modal path of bituminous materials in place of sidewalk along Denneys Road in
accordance with DelDOT standards. This waiver also eliminated the requirement for sidewalk
along the interior roadway of the site which would have been parallel to the multi-modal path.

Paj 29
Item 4.
SB-21-05 Revised Subdivision Plan for Stonebrook East PND
DAC Report of December 8, 2021
Page 4
The bituminous material proposed for the mulit-modal path once required a waiver but is now an
accepted material and pathway format as a result of Zoning Ordinance changes. This waiver was
reconfirmed at the Planning Commission Meeting of August 19, 2021.
Waiver: Reduction of Street Radius
In 2007, the Planning Commission granted a waiver for the reduction of the street radius from
150 feet to 90 feet to accommodate the proposed street network. This waiver was reconfirmed in
August of 2021.
Waiver: Partial Elimination of Sidewalk
The portion of sidewalk along the south and west side of Millais Drive has been removed due to
its proximity to the multi-modal path along McKee Road and W. Denney’s Road. Zoning
Ordinance, Article 5 Section 18.3 requires that sidewalk be installed on both sides of the cartway
therefore a waiver for the partial elimination of sidewalk is requested. This waiver was
reconfirmed in August of 2021.
VI. 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. Please refer to the D.A.C.
Report of August 4, 2021 for additional outstanding comments. The following items have been
identified as additional elements which need to be addressed by the applicant:
1) Alternative Design Standards were granted to the proposed PND project by the Planning
Commission as part of Conceptual Plan submission (C-07-01) and with SB-21-05 Revised
Subdivision Plan. A note should appear on the plan which details when the original Waiver
for Alternative Bulk Standards was granted (February 19, 2007) and (August 19, 2021) and
the Code citation (Article 3 §24.5 of the Zoning Ordinance).
2) This submission is requesting revision to the Alternative Design Standards for the
Townhouse units. After Planning Commission acts on the new Waiver Request, a note will
also have to be added detailing that action.
a. Waiver Request includes:
• Decreased Townhouse width from 22 feet to 20 feet
3) A new updated Record Plan will be required to replat the changes in the Townhouse Lots and
adjacent alleys.
VII. 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) Waiver: Alternative Design Standards for Townhomes: Staff recommends approval of the
29
Paj 30
Item 4.
SB-21-05 Revised Subdivision Plan for Stonebrook East PND
DAC Report of December 8, 2021
Page 5
requested change to the bulk standards for Townhomes to decrease the minimum width
from 22 feet to 20 feet. The requested change in width to allow for a decrease of two feet
from what is currently approved is not significant. The number of townhouse units is not
changing, but the distance between townhouse grouping is increasing and allowing for
additional open space.
2) Architecture – Townhouses: Staff recommends that the architectural design of the
townhomes be clarified to confirm location of parking access from the alleys proposed on
the plan. Staff also recommends installation of lighting in the alleys.
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.
VIII. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Revised 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 Revised 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.

RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET CODE OBJECTIVES
WATER
1. The City of Dover has engaged in preliminary conversations with a previous owner of this project to purchase a certain amount
of land just north of Rochester Drive in this development. The purpose of this land is to site an elevated water storage tower.
The City would like to have this option in the future. The water main that is traveling down Millais Drive will need to be
upgraded to a twelve-inch (12”) cement lined Class 52 cement lined ductile iron pipe. This main will need to connect to the
water main in the intersection of McKee Road and W. Denney’s Road. The City will be willing to pay the cost differential
between the proposed water main and the twelve-inch (12”) requested for this portion of infrastructure. If the intent is to have
the utility infrastructure privately maintained, this portion of water main will need to be housed in a utility easement.

CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS
STORMWATER
1. The size, length, slope, type and flow directions must be shown on all existing and proposed storm sewer lines. Rim
and invert elevations must be labeled on all stormwater structures.
2. Submerged pipe inlets to ponds may only be permitted if they are so designed that the permanent pool elevation of
the storm water management area doesn’t surcharge back into the City of Dover’s storm drain structures and
system.
3. The City of Dover Department of Public Works specifications require all culverts to be designed for the 25-year
storm frequency and all storm sewers to be designed for the 10-year storm frequency. The Manning’s equation
shall be utilized in design as applicable. Storm sewers are required to provide a minimum full flow velocity of 2 fps.
Provide the calculations for each proposed pipe segment that, at a minimum, include: upstream and downstream
inverts, upstream and downstream ground elevations, and ground cover provided; pipe slope, length, material, n
value, and diameter; design flow, depth and velocity; and full flow and velocity.
4. The City of Dover Department of Public Works specifications require that all inlets (catch basins) be designed for the
10-year storm frequency (25-year storm frequency for sump conditions) and that the spread of water shall not
exceed eight feet (8’) from the flow line of the curb. The design must also meet the requirement that the hydraulic
grade line may be no higher than one foot (1’) below the top of the inlet. Provide the calculations for each proposed
catch basin utilizing flows determined by each catch basin’s contributory drainage area, for the appropriate storm
frequency. Spread, depth of flow and hydraulic grade line data for each inlet must also be included. Any carryover
should also be noted and included at appropriate downstream catch basins as applicable.
5. Inlets (catch basins) are to be located within the pavement section along the curbline. Offset catch basins do not
meet City of Dover Department of Public Works specifications.
6. It is preferred that storm sewer be located within the pavement section to avoid conflict with communications and
electric utilities. Other utilities are not to be installed above storm sewer.
7. Provide all stormwater management calculations and erosion and sedimentation control plan as required by Article
5, Section 11.2 and 11.2 of the City of Dover Zoning Ordinance. Ensure that individual lot grading, house locations

Site Development Plan – Stonebrook East
Application No. SB-21-05
Tax Parcel No. ED05-057.03-01-01.00 to 92.00
Dover, Kent County, DE
Dear Ms. Melson-Williams:
Duffield Associates, LLC (Duffield) is pleased to provide updates to the Site Development Plan for
Stonebrook East.
The project site is located at the northeast intersection of McKee Road and West Denneys Road, in the City of
Dover, Kent County, Delaware. The site is comprised of Tax Parcel Nos. ED05-057.03-01-01.00 to 92.00
consisting of approximately 45.75 acres and is currently zoned RM-1 (Medium density residence zone).
The site is situated on an existing farm field, adjacent to other residential subdivisions along West Denneys
Road. This site was previously approved in 2010 for 87 townhomes and 168 garden apartments. This
revised project is proposing to develop 103 townhouses and 138 garden apartments. The site will be
following the Planned Neighborhood Design option (PND) as listed in the City of Dover’s Zoning Code.
The City of Dover Planning Commission moved to grant conditional approval of the revised plan presented
at the August 16, 2021 meeting.
The following waivers were approved:
1. To permit 4 story garden apartments (2 stories allowed).
2. To permit 48 foot building height of garden apartments (35 feet allowed).
3. To permit an average 35 dwelling units per building of garden apartments (maximum average of 24
dwelling units per building allowed).
The project is requesting an alternative design standard for Planned Neighborhood Design. The lot
configurations for the townhomes have been revised so that the minimum lot width has been reduced from 22
feet to 20 foot. In addition, the locations of Alleys A, B and C have been revised so that the lot depths are
more uniform. No changes to the roadways are proposed. These changes increase the previously requested
minimum lot area; therefore, the alternative design standard that is being requested at this time is to permit a
minimum lot width of 20 feet (22 feet required by Code).
Coordination with DelDOT is ongoing, dependent upon the City’s approval to proceed with the project with
an Area Wide Study Fee in lieu of a Traffic Impact Study. Updated architectural renderings for the
townhouses have been included in this submission. A meeting was held with the Kent Conservation District
to discuss stormwater management, and coordination with them is ongoing.
Enhancing our community one project at a time. 52

I. PLAN SUMMARY
This application is for review of a Conditional Use Site Plan and associated Minor Subdivision
Plan Application for construction of a 5,154 SF Retail Store (Convenience Store) and associated
fuel pumps. The Application includes associated site improvements and a 1,248 SF Accessory
building to serve as a drive-through Car Wash. The property is currently zoned C-2A (Limited
Central Commercial Zone) and is subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed Lot
1 is 2.545 +/ acres (110,854 SF) and is the location of the proposed development. The proposed
Lot 2 is 0.870 +/- acres (37,897 SF) and is currently not subject to a design proposal. The Site
overall currently consists of 3.415 +/- acres (148,751 SF) and is located at the northeast corner of
the intersection of McKee Road and College Road. The owner of record is Two Farms Inc.
Property Addresses: 1205 McKee Road. Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-067.00-02-51.00-000.
Plans Reviewed:
• Conditional Use Site Plan submission (full-size) dated November 5, 2021
• Revised Plan mark-up (11x17) received December 9, 2021
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of McKee Road and
College Road. The applicant is proposing to construct two (2) one-story buildings and associated
site improvements, including Fuel Pumps. Building #1 is a 5,154 SF Retail Store (Convenience
Store) Building and Building #2 is 1,248 SF to serve as a Car Wash. The Proposed Plan includes
a Minor Subdivision Plan, which proposes to subdivide the existing 3.415 +/- acres (148,751 SF)
lot into two lots. The proposed Lot #1 is to be 2.545 +/ acres (110,854 SF) and is the western
portion of the overall site and is additionally the subject of the current proposed Royal Farms
Project. The proposed Lot #2 is 0.870 +/- acres (37,897 SF) and is the eastern portion of the Site.
There is no development proposed for the proposed Lot #2 at present.
The parcels immediately surrounding the subject parcel contain a variety of primarily
Institutional and Commercial uses. The property immediately adjacent to the north is not within
City of Dover City Limits; it is zoned RS1 (Single Family Residential Zone) and appears to be
utilized as a one-family detached dwelling unit (single family home). Immediately adjacent to
61
Paj 62
Item 5.
C-21-08 Royal Farms Retail Store (Convenience Store) with Fuel Pumps
DAC Report of December 8, 2021
Page 3
the subject parcel to the east is the North Dover Elementary School on a parcel zoned IO
(Institutional and Office Zone).
Across College Road to the south is land also zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) and RG-5
(General Residence Zone for Mid-Rise Apartments Zone) as the campus of Westminster Village
at Dover, a Senior Care Facility including cottage and apartment units and assisted living &
rehabilitation facilities. Across McKee Road to the west and north of College Road are two
parcels. The one parcel immediately adjacent to the intersection of College and McKee Roads is
zoned C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and contains a multi-tenant building with retail
uses, offices, and a Liquor Store. The northern parcel immediately across McKee Road to the
west is zoned CPO (Commercial and Professional Office Zone); the most recent use of the this
site appears to be a one-family detached dwelling unit (single-family home), however the
building has been demolished (Demolition Permit #21-132 was approved in March 2021).
Diagonally across the McKee Road/College Road intersection is a property zoned CPO
(Commercial Professional Office) containing two multi-tenant office buildings. All properties
discussed fronting on the McKee Road corridor are subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay
Zone).
Previous Applications
This property was most recently subject to Comprehensive Plan Amendment MI-21-01A which
was approved by the City Council at their March 8, 2021 meeting. This was a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment which sought to change the Land Use Category of this property from Office to
Commercial Low Intensity. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment in turn was submitted in
conjunction with the Rezoning Application Z-21-01 which was similarly approved by the City
Council at their March 8, 2021. This Application changed the Zoning of the property from C-PO
(Commercial and Professional Office Zone) to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) while
retaining the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). These applications had both been submitted so as
to allow for this Conditional Use Site Plan Application.
Over the years there have been other applications for this property starting with AX-21-05 which
annexed the property into the City in 2005. Other applications include S-06-48, S-07-53, Z-14-
01, and MI-14-01B.
III. ZONING REVIEW
C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) Zoning
The proposed use is classified as a retail store which is a permitted use in the C-2A Zone.
Additionally, the Zoning Ordinance Article 3 §14.3 permits the outdoor eating area in this Zone
when accessory to the permitted restaurant use. This type of retail store includes a restaurant-like
operation; therefore the City Planner will allow the outdoor seating which has been shown in the
Plans to the west of the main Retail Building.
The proposed use of the Accessory Building as a Car Wash is considered a Service
Establishment which is again listed as a permitted use in the C-2A Zone. Article 3 Section
14.2(b) of the Zoning Ordinance lists Fuel Pumps as a conditionally permitted use when
accessory to a permitted use. The following description of the C-2A zoning district is provided
from Article 3 §14 of the Zoning Ordinance.

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 for accessory fuel pumps is appropriate in
type and scale for the immediate neighborhood. The subject property is additionally adjacent to a
residential property located at 1233 McKee Rd. 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;
COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone -1)
The subject site area involved with this application is located within the COZ-1. The Zoning
Ordinance details the requirements of the COZ-1 in Article 3 §27 and its subsections. The
Corridor Overlay Zone as a planning and growth management tool is designed to foster an
attractive, efficient, and economically vibrant urban corridor along Route 8/Forrest Avenue and
Saulsbury/McKee Roads. To this end, more stringent standards are applied to development
taking place in the corridor. Certain requirements for the COZ-1 may be relaxed if the Planning
Commission determines that the project plan is “Superior Urban Design” based on specific
criteria outlined in the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3, Section 27.2 and with reference to the policy
guidance sheet “COZ-1 Superior Urban Design Goals and Policies” (see Attachment).
The compliance of the project with the COZ-1 requirements is discussed below.
• The COZ-1 specifies a required front yard setback for non-residential properties. This site
has two street frontages: McKee Road and College Road. In this case, the front setback is
from McKee Road and is a minimum of 40 feet, and a maximum of 50 feet. The
Applicant has stated verbally that the Setback from McKee Road to the first structure
(Fuel Pump Canopy) is to be over 67 feet, which is in excess of the maximum 50-foot
setback permitted and is therefore not in compliance. The project must achieve “Superior
Urban Design” to allow for the proposed setback.
• The COZ-1 building must sit parallel to the road with the longest side facing the road;
both the main Retail Building as well as the Fuel Pump Canopy (closest structure to the
McKee Road frontage) are placed parallel to McKee Road.
• Achieves the following for the parking lot layout/arrangement: parking lot location is not
in the front yard setback or located between the building and the corridor frontages, and
the number of parking spaces versus islands is met. The Fuel Pump Canopy is considered
a building, and there is no parking proposed in between said canopy and McKee Road.
• Building complies with the allowable number of stories (one-story) and maximum
permitted height of 35 feet in the COZ-1.
• The COZ-1 has a requirement that a minimum of 25% of the lot consists of landscaped
open space. The Plan gives conflicting information as to the proposed Lot Coverage
requirements, although the Applicant has stated verbally that they will comply with the
minimum 25% landscaped open space required on site.
• The width of parking lot islands must be provided to ensure that the minimum 10-foot
requirement for parking lot islands is met.
• There is a required minimum 6-foot sidewalk width, within the landscaped area of at least
12 feet between the building and parking lot. The proposed width of the sidewalk is 6-
feet along all sides of the Retail Building. Other than at the rear (east) of the Retail
Building, there is no landscaping proposed between the main Retail Building and the
64
Paj 65
Item 5.
C-21-08 Royal Farms Retail Store (Convenience Store) with Fuel Pumps
DAC Report of December 8, 2021
Page 6
Vehicle Parking Area. The front (west façade facing McKee Road) of the Retail Building
has a 7-foot wide area for outdoor seating in addition to the proposed 6-foot sidewalk.
• Street frontages are required to have a landscaped open space of 25 feet and provide one
tree per 50 feet of frontage. The Plans indicate the required 25 feet of landscaped open
space, and it appears that the tree plantings are proposed at a rate which is compliant.
• Non-frontages in the COZ-1 are required to have landscaped open space of 15 feet when
adjacent to residential uses and landscaped open space of 5 feet when adjacent to non-
residential uses and to provide one tree per 75 feet.
IV. PARKING SUMMARY
The minimum parking requirements for the C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) is one (1)
parking space for every 300 S.F. of floor area or one (1) per employee, whichever is greater.
Based on the size of the Retail Store (5,154 S.F.) the site requires eighteen (18) parking spaces.
The Applicant has submitted a Revised Plan which shows sixty-eight (68) parking spaces for the
proposed building of which three (3) are handicap parking spaces. These parking spaces are
provided around the periphery of the main Retail Building, as well as at the northern portion of
the Site along the drive to the Car Wash, as well as at the eastern portion of the Site near the
property line with the proposed Lot #2.
However, while the Plans show sixty-eight (68) proposed vehicle parking spaces, the notes
provided on the same Plans identify a planned total of seventy-five (75) vehicle parking spaces
including two (2) handicapped parking spaces. It is therefore unclear as to the proposed total of
parking spaces, but it is noted that both figures are in excess of the required minimum and
therefore are Code compliant.
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 either (68) parking spaces or the noted (75) parking spaces, four (4) bicycle
parking spaces would be required. The Data Column notes four (6) bicycle parking spaces are
planned. The Revised Plan submitted by the applicant shows that they propose to locate the
bicycle parking facilities near the sidewalk providing dedicated pedestrian access on site from
College Road to the Retail Building, towards the southern (College Road frontage) area of the
Site.
V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Access
There are currently two entrances shown onto the Site. There is one (1) Right-in/Right-out
entrance off of College Road, as well as one (1) full-access entrance off of McKee Road. It is
uncertain as to whether the latter will be permitted by the Delaware Department of
Transportation (DelDOT), as the Traffic Impact Study Report review is ongoing.
There is no proposed Site Access onto the proposed Lot #2 from College Road. The Revised
Plan instead shows a drive aisle leading towards Lot #2 from the main Lot #1. A Cross-Access
Easement will need to be established in order to facilitate such access to Lot #2 across Lot #1.

Sidewalks
Sidewalks are required along both the McKee Road and College Road street frontages of the site
(Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 18). The plan shows a multi-use path as required along
both frontages. The Plan additionally shows a dedicated pedestrian access point from the College
Road frontage, which crosses the main drive-aisle and connects to the sidewalk that immediately
surrounds the main building.
Additionally, the Zoning Ordinance Article 3, Section 27.63(c)(ii) notes the following with
regards to sidewalks in the COZ-1:
There shall be a landscaped buffer area of at least 12 feet in width between the building and
parking lot and drive areas. The buffer area shall include provisions for a sidewalk of at least six
feet and no greater than eight feet in width. The buffer area and sidewalk shall be grade
separated from the parking lot by concrete curbing of at least six inches in height.
The dimensions of the sidewalk in between the main Retail Building and the vehicle parking spaces
is noted as being 6 feet. Part of the area immediately adjacent to the front building entry is paved.
The east side of the building appears to include the sidewalk planting area.
Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Upright 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 most of the
site except for where vehicle parking spaces immediately abut the sidewalk surrounding the main
building. Here the sidewalk appears to be at the same grade as the parking spaces, with the Plans
showing bollards as barriers between vehicle parking and pedestrian areas.
The Applicant has submitted a Waiver Request to seek relief from the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance to provide the required 6-inch upright curbing in these areas of the Site. The Waiver notes
that the sidewalk is planned to be built-at grade with the surrounding vehicle parking-spaces, with
bollards being provided as a physical barrier between theses spaces and the sidewalks. The reason
provided is so as to avoid potential tripping hazards for persons walking to the Retail Building.
Lighting
The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 7 requires lighting of commercial uses to provide no less
than 1½ footcandles at grade. Light shall be deflected away from adjacent residential areas and shall
not be distracting to traffic on adjacent roads. The Plans submitted provide information as to the
location and types of lighting planned on the Site, showing post lights being used around the main
Retail Building as well as near the entrance and exit of the Accessory Car Wash Building, and
lighting mounted to the under-side of the Canopy over the Fuel Pumps. The Architectural
Renderings appear to additionally show wall-mounted lights being included around the exterior of
both the main building (Convenance Store), and the Accessory Building to be used as the Car
Wash; however, these do not appear to be noted on the Lighting Plan.
Dumpsters
According to Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §6.12, the Dumpster requirements for an Office or Retail
space of less than 50,000 SF are two (2) Dumpsters required for the first 16,000 SF of gross floor
area, and one (1) for each additional 16,000 SF of gross floor area or fraction thereof. The plans
submitted identify one (1) Dumpster enclosure, but does not appear to specifically note the number
66
Paj 67
Item 5.
C-21-08 Royal Farms Retail Store (Convenience Store) with Fuel Pumps
DAC Report of December 8, 2021
Page 8
of dumpsters planned for said dumpster enclosure. It is uncertain if there are to be any additional
trash receptacles provided on Site, as for example, in the outdoor eating area.
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 building/site. It is noted that the initial Plans submitted
indicated that Pylon Signs are being proposed; however, Pylon Signs are not permitted for this
location. Type and size of signs allowed is determined primarily by Road Classification, use, and
neighboring uses as stipulated in Article 5, Section 4 of the Zoning Ordinance. It is noted that Article
5, Section 4(c) of the Zoning Ordinance gives additional provisions specific to signage for Gas
Stations.
VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
The Plan submission includes Architectural Renderings which appear to show the main (front)
entrance of the principal building (Convenience Store) which faces the west to the McKee Road
frontage. A second rendering depicts an angled view of the proposed Car Wash Building along
the northern portion of the property.
The exterior finish of the Convenience Store and Car Wash both appear to be clad with
horizontal tan siding with heavy white trim at the corners and along the top. Both buildings
additionally include a warm colored stone at the base of the exterior walls. The main building is
topped with Royal Farms’ trademark barn-like gabled roof over the main entrance. This in turn
appears to be covered with red metal roofing and topped by a small cupola with traditional
weathervane. This front (McKee Road) façade additionally includes large floor-to-ceiling-
windows and contains a metal-roofed awning that is suspended from the side walls to hang partly
over said windows. It is not certain how the south (College Road) or east (opposite of McKee
Road) facades are to appear.
The Architectural Renderings do not fully depict the Fuel Pump Canopy or other Site Features.
However, the Rendering of the Retail Store Building does give some indication in that the
canopy over the Fuel Pumps are to be flat-roofed and supported by white metal beams that are
anchored by larger stone bases. These bases appear to match the same stone shown on both the
Retail building and the Car Wash building.
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 the current development proposed for only Lot 1 which has a stated site
area of 110,854 SF, this would put their tree plantings requirement at a minimum of thirty-seven
(37) 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 49
trees, exceeding the minimum requirement of 37 trees. The trees are being proposed along the west
property line, where the Plan additionally notes a 15-foot landscape buffer. There are more trees
planted along the College Road and McKee Road frontages along with a variety of shrubs.
67
Paj 68
Item 5.
C-21-08 Royal Farms Retail Store (Convenience Store) with Fuel Pumps
DAC Report of December 8, 2021
Page 9
The Zoning Ordinance Article 5, Section 15.9 requires that any new tree plantings be located a
minimum of be placed at least 10 feet away from all underground utilities and infrastructure. The
revised Landscape Plan submitted by the Applicant (December 9, 2021) appears to show compliance
with this provision.
The Zoning Ordinance Article 3, Section 27.67(c) additionally requires that a minimum of 15 feet of
landscaped open space be provided along all side and rear lot lines when abutting a residential use
and a minimum of five feet when abutting a nonresidential use. Tree plantings shall also be provided
along all nonfrontage perimeters at a minimum rate of one tree for each 75 linear feet.
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 is required
along the north property line of the parcel. The Applicant has submitted a Revised Plan which has
added a 6-foot high wood privacy fence along the northern property line.
The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 7.22 additionally notes that the Landscape Component of
the Opaque Barrier be either a durable and continuous evergreen planted screen, 6-feet in height at
the time of planting; or a hedge that will grow to a height of at least 6-feet at maturity. However, the
Revised Site Plan submitted by the Applicant notes only a “15-foot landscape buffer” along the north
property line. In addition, the Landscape Plan as revised shows trees being planted along the entirety
the north property line, including both canopy and evergreen trees.
It is additionally noted that the Zoning Ordinance Article 5 Section 7.5 requires that fences or walls
shall be limited to maximum height of four feet above the ground when situated within front yard
areas, and a maximum of eight feet above the ground when situated within side and rear yard areas.
The six-foot high fence notes on the Plans would only therefore be permitted in the side and rear yard
areas. It does appear that the 6-foot high fence is only within the side and rear yard areas, and it does
not appear that any additional fencing is proposed along the north property line within the proposed
Lot #1’s front yard area.
VIII. 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) Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Upright Curbing: The Applicant has submitted a waiver
request from the requirements to provide 6-inch Upright Curbing specific to this area of the Site,
noting that they will instead provide bollards to maintain a physical separation, and that the
removing the curbing will help avoid tripping-hazards for persons entering the Retail Building.
Planning Staff recommends approval of the Waiver Request to eliminate the requirement for 6-
inch upright curbing along the immediate vicinity of the Retail Building. The Plan submitted
shows 6-inch curbing being provided on-site overall except for the parts of the vehicle parking
areas immediately surrounding the main Retail Building.

i) The COZ-1 requires a minimum of 25% of the lot area to be dedicated to be
landscaped open space.
ii) Minimum Lot Area is 10,000 SF
iii) Minimum Lot Depth is 100 ft.
iv) Maximum Building Height is 35 ft.
v) Maximum number of stories is two (2).
i) Provide the Bulk Standards/ Lot Dimensions as actually proposed.
j) For the tree plantings calculation, note the length of both the McKee Road and College
Road frontages, and note the total number of trees proposed for each frontage to meet tree
planting requirements.
VIII. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET
CODE OBJECTIVES:
In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §1, the Planning Commission in
considering and acting upon Conditional Use 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 1.1 to 1.3.
1) Conditional Use: Accessory Fuel Pumps
Planning Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use of the Fuel Pumps as an
Accessory to the permitted Retail Use. The Plans submitted appear to show six (6) 2-
sided Fuel Pump Stations (twelve (12) total Fuel Pumps). The Site is located at the
intersection of two major roads, generating much vehicle traffic. There are also several
residential areas in the vicinity, which makes this an ideal location for multiple services
to be located for the benefit of local residents and travelling public.
2) Superior Urban Design: Staff recommends the Planning Commission grant approval of a
designation of Superior Urban Design subject to conditions (See Comment #3).
Planning staff notes the following which would speak in part to the Site’s qualifications
in meeting the criteria for “Superior Urban Design”:
a. Multi-Modal Transportation: The Plan proposes a shared-use path along both the
College and McKee Road frontages allowing pedestrian access and bicycle
parking facilities.
70

C-21-08 Royal Farms Retail Store (Convenience Store) with Fuel Pumps
DAC Report of December 8, 2021
Page 12
b. Architecture: The building would improve the character of the area and appears to
be tailored to the site. The design shows enhanced architectural/ decorative
features such as stone veneer features on all buildings added trim, warm colors,
ornamental features like the glass cupola and weathervane. The Plans additionally
show further aesthetic features like the awnings featured on the exterior of the
Retail building.
c. Landscaping: The landscape design exhibits a robust use of trees, shrubbery, and
flowering plants in certain areas.
d. Green Technologies: The Applicant has noted the planned use of green
technologies with the stormwater management and possibly reclamation of water
with the proposed Car Wash.
3) Planning Staff finds that there is however room for improvement in meeting the
qualifications for “Superior Urban Design.” The following are items Planning Staff has
identified:
a. The architectural detailing should be continued on all four elevations of the Retail
Building. The features presented in the Architectural Renderings for the Car Wash
should also be continued on all four facades of the Car Wash Building.
b. The sidewalk/ pedestrian area located at the front (west) of the projection of the
main Retail Building should be widened. There appear to be several features
proposed for this front area (outdoor seating, ice machine, nearby vehicle parking
and pedestrian entrance from College Road). The Plans would suggest this area
may easily become too crowded with pedestrians approaching the building, as
well as those using the service areas/ outdoor seating.
c. The end medians/ landscape islands immediately surrounding the main Retail
Building should be enlarged to further enhance the landscaping features internal
to the Site. The islands should also include ground cover plantings.
d. Clarify the location of the exterior decorative awnings. These should be provided
on all four facades to ensure consistency of exterior aesthetic.
i. The exterior awnings could also present the opportunity to provide for
covered bicycle parking, if the bicycle parking relocated to be adjacent to
the main building.
e. The Tree Plantings should be of a larger caliber/ height at planting than what is
generally required.
4) Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Curbing: Staff recommends approval of the
waiver request to relax curbing requirements along the periphery of the main Retail
Building. The upright curbing requested to be waived is to facilitate easier pedestrian
access to the main Retail Building as it is approached from multiple sides including
handicapped parking spaces. The Plans show that bollards are to be provided to maintain
a physical barrier between the sidewalk and the vehicle parking spaces.
5) Planning Staff encourages this project to include the installation of Electric Vehicle
Charging Stations in its parking lot. Currently, the Zoning Ordinance does not require
them, but many other jurisdictions have implemented such requirements. Electric Vehicle
Charging Stations formats include EV-Capable, EV-Ready, and EV-Installed.

IX. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) The Planning Commission should act upon the request for waivers as part of any motion
regarding this project application, or as a separate motion as necessary. Note: All waivers
are at the discretion of the Planning Commission. The Commission may approve or deny
waiver requests.
2) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Conditional Use Site Plan occur in
the finalization of the Conditional Use Site Plan contact the Department of Planning and
Inspections. Examples include relocation of site components like paving and increases in
floor area. These changes may require resubmittal for review by the Development
Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making
recommendations in regard to the Plan.
3) Following Planning Commission approval of the Conditional Use Site Plan, the Plan
must be revised to meet all conditions of approval from the Development Advisory
Committee or as otherwise noted. A Check Print must be submitted for review by
Planning Office Staff and the other commenting agencies. Upon determination that the
Plan is complete and all agency approvals have been received, copies of the Plan may be
submitted for final endorsement (Final Plan Approval). The same applies too to the
Record Plan associated with the Minor Subdivision of the overall Site, as well as any
proposed or existing Easements or Dedications,
4) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory
Committee may provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code
requirements.
5) For building new construction, the requirements of the building code and the fire code
must be complied with. Consult with the Chief Building Inspector and City of Dover Fire
Marshal for these requirements. The resolution of these items may impact the site design
including such items as building dimensions and height, building openings, and fire
protection needs, etc.
6) The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any development or ground
disturbing activities on the site the appropriate site inspections and permits are required.
This includes activities to clean-up existing vegetation, the import of fill dirt, etc.
7) Construction may have an effect on the adjacent property owners and nearby travel lanes.
Any work requiring the closing or rerouting of potential customers or visitors to adjacent
properties should be coordinated as to offer the least amount of inconvenience to the
adjacent property owners.
8) The addresses for the new buildings proposed on the property will need to be confirmed
with the City’s Tax Assessment Office. The existing address may be revised.

9) The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any ground disturbing activities on
the site the appropriate Site Plan approvals, Pre-Construction meetings, site inspections
and permits are required.
10) The applicant shall be aware that Conditional Use Site Plan approval does not represent a
Building Permit and associated construction activity permits. A separate application
process is required for issuance of a Building Permit from the City of Dover. Building
Permits will be required for each building (Main Retail Building, Canopy with fuel
Pumps, and Accessory Car Wash).
11) The applicant shall be aware that Plan approval does not represent a Sign Permit, nor
does it convey permission to place any sign on the premises. Any proposed site or
building identification sign may require a Sign Permit from the City of Dover prior to
placement of any such sign in accordance with Zoning Ordinance Article 5 §4.
12) The Applicant should be aware that Eastern Shore is believed to have a Natural Gas
Pipeline in the vicinity of the Subject Site which could impact on-site activity.

Item 5.
COZ-1 Superior Urban Design Goals and Policies
Goal 1: - Creating a Superior Urban Design
Define the parameters for meeting the ‘Superior Urban Design’ criteria.
Policy 1: - Ensure the creation of an urban environment.
To qualify as a ‘Superior Urban Design’, building sites in the Corridor Overlay Zone
must meet or exceed the requirements of at least 2 of the provisions established in the
‘Superior Urban Design’ Definition (Policy 2 states these requirements and establishes
the criteria for meeting them) as well as providing superior fire protection through the
employment of a building sprinkler system. Additionally, applicants must provide a
written report which assumes the burden of proof concerning why the site design
constitutes a ‘Superior Urban Design’.
Recommendation:
Applications seeking a ‘Superior Urban Design’ designation must be evaluated by the
Planning Office with strict scrutiny. In a manner similar to which other city agencies
review applications (e.g. Public Utilities, DelDOT, Department of Parks and Recreation),
issues of urban design should be identified as a specialization specific to the Department
of Planning. Planning Commission should place an emphasis on the report comments of
the Planning Staff when evaluating applications seeking a ‘Superior Urban Design’
designation.
Policy 2: - Criteria for meeting the ‘Superior Urban Design’ merit.
To qualify as a ‘Superior Urban Design’, applications must meet or exceed the criteria of
at least 2 of the following categories. Partial fulfillment of one or more categories will
not constitute a qualifying application. A minimum of two criteria must be addressed
entirely as per the specifics of the requirements.
Multi-modal Transportation: will be evaluated by the following elements.
o Display an emphasis on pedestrian safety
o Ensure safe, barrier free pedestrian access
o Arrange for public transit stops where available
o The potential for the site to reduce car-trips and drive times through
providing an attractive, safe, inviting environment for bicyclists and
pedestrians.
74
Paj 75
Item 5.
o Create interconnections with adjoining sites, if such interconnections have
been previously implemented, improve or enhance those interconnections.
This requirement is not limited to vehicular traffic; it also pertains to
pedestrians, cyclists, and other means of non-vehicular traffic.
Architectural Features: will be evaluated by the following elements.
o Unique architecture is specifically encouraged. Commercial
establishments should seek to present buildings and facades which
improve the character of the area. Buildings should be specifically
tailored to the site and general character of the location.
o Elements which constitute ‘unique architecture’ include, but are not
limited to items such as: entry porticos, colonnades, cornices, porch
columns and balusters, band courses, water tables, decorative trimming
and signage
Landscaping
o A robust use of trees, shrubbery, and flowering plants. Specifically when
referring to trees, this requirement seeks trees of at least twice the
minimum caliper required by code
o Integration of pervious paved material for sidewalks
o Tree preservation measures
o Water gardens and ponds
Improvements to Public Space
o Sidewalk improvements and beautification
o Art, including but not limited to sculpture, memorials, and murals
o Open space, including but not limited to court yards, pocket parks, and
fountains,
o Special consideration will be given to buildings which demonstrate unique
integration of street elements into their design (e.g. sidewalks which enter
and join walkways on site, placement of street furniture on site)
Green Technologies
o Use of certified green technologies pertaining to stormwater management.
o Geothermal, solar, or other alternative energy supplies.
o Implementation of rain gardens, use of rain barrels, or other means of pro-
active non-point stormwater runoff management.
