Dear Mr. & Mrs. Achenbach,
The Planning Office grants Final Plan Approval to a Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plan to remove the
lot line between two (2) existing parcels at 19 and 21 North American Avenue. The Minor Lot Line
Adjustment Plan will result in one (1) new parcel containing a single family hi previously a
duplex) on North American Avenue in Dover, DE. The subject properties are zoned RG-1 (General
Residence Zone) and a portion subject to the H (Historic District Zone).
The Planning Staff has reviewed the plan of the above-referenced project for conformity with the
conditions of approval established by the Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix A: Land Subdivision
Regulations and Appendix B: Zoning Ordinance.
This Minor Lot Line Adjustment Record Plan (one sheet with signature of the engineer of 4/4/2024
and owners 4/4/2024) now includes the Planning Office endorsement stamp on the plan copies
submitted. The Final Record Plan (3 copies) will be returned to the applicant for recordation

Case #14-00000323 — Interior Inspection 2-23-2024
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Achenbach;
On 2/23/24 an interior inspection of this vacant property was conducted by Chief CEO Eddie Kopp
& CEO John England.
Interior inspection revealed ongoing MAJOR renovations with no active permits. Open interior
and exterior walls, open floor joists and roof rafters. Missing insulation throughout, New electric
circuit breaker box and new wire rough ins.
We were unable to get into the kitchen area due to the doorway being blocked with building
material. Mrs. Robin Achenbach & her husband were advised again that they need renovation &
plumbing permits for the work going on inside.
The Achenbach’s were also advised that no further exemptions would be granted and the next
registration letter to include a [if eeistration fee will be sent on 3/10/24.
City of Dover Code states under Article XII Vacant Buildings Sec. 22-405. Exemptions- (b) (2)
"The owner has obtained a building permit and is progressing in an expedient manner to prepare
the premises for occupancy".
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this letter, please call me at 302-736-7010, or
contact me by my email, jengland@dover.de.us

Case Number: 14-00000323
Dear Mark & Robin Achenbach:
The property at 19 N AMERICAN AVE has been registered as a vacant building
with the City of Dover Department of Planning and Inspections. As such, upon
request of the Code Enforcement Officer, an owner or agent shall provide
access to all interior portions of a vacant building in order to permit a
complete inspection.
Vacant buildings are detrimental to the surrounding buildings and
neighborhoods in which they exist. The health, safety and welfare of the
neighborhoods in which vacant buildings are located are of the utmost
importance to the city, as is the general character of the community in which
these vacant buildings are located.
Please contact this office by February 09, 2023, to schedule the interior
inspection of the building. Inspections can be scheduled at 302-736-7010 or
302-736-7011. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this letter,
other than scheduling, please contact me directly at the above phone numbers.
Sincerely,
RON COBURN
Code Enforcement Officer

Mrs. Robin Achenbach
21 American Avenue
Dover, DE 19901
Dear Mrs. Achenbach:
Councilman Slavin asked me to respond to your recent communications with him. | will recite the
background on this matter so that you understand the status of your requests.
Ron Coburn, Code Enforcement Officer, granted vacant building ordinance (fee) waivers to you in 2014
and 2015. The 2014 waiver was granted in reliance upon your statement that minor renovations were
to be undertaken. You never obtained a permit. The 2015 waiver was granted when you indicated the
renovations were continuing and that your son would occupy the premises within the year. No permit
was obtained, and the premises remained unoccupied.
Officer Coburn told you that no further waivers of the VBO fees would be granted unless the
ordinance's exemption requirements were met. In 2016, the vacant building notice was given on May
10 and the [fee was assessed. No appeal was filed, and no permit action was taken within the 30-
day appeal window.
In 2017, the vacant building notice was given on March 10 and a fee of a assessed.
There was no appeal filed nor was any permit action taken during the 30-day appeal period
following notice. A permit application was ultimately submitted on June 26, 2017 (#17-1071);
however, no permit was issued. The submission of this permit application was long after the
period to request a waiver on that basis had passed.
You met with the City Manager and others on or about July 10, 2017. Mrs. Mitchell agreed to
waive the VBO fee. After learning the history regarding the property, Mrs. Mitchell rescinded
the waiver as improvidently granted in a September 1, 2017, letter. The 2016 VBO charge was
already on the tax bill issued in July 2017 before you met with the City Manager. The clean hands
ordinance prevented the processing of your permit application.
Paj 76
In 2018, the vacant building notice was issued on April 10 with a fee of r appeal was
filed, nor any permit action taken during the 30-day appeal period following notice even though
the owner was previously advised to submit for building permits to qualify for the exemption
provision. This fee was also included in the 2018 tax bill recently issued by the City. Vacant
Building Ordinance fees totaling 2017 & 2018) are included on that tax bill.
You met with the Mayor and the City Planner (me) to discuss the issues. The time for filing an
appeal had already expired at the time of the meeting as the thirty-day window for filing an
appeal closed on or about May 10, 2018. The 30-day appeal period and process are clearly
spelled out in the annual fee notice you received each year. Contrary to your assertion, the 2018
permit applications are not “lost”. They are in a pending mode and can only be issued after all
outstanding financial obligations to the City are satisfied.
The Construction and Property Maintenance Code Board of Appeals has, as recently as July of
this year, repeatedly declined to grant relief when an appeal was not timely filed. Because the
thirty-day appeal period has passed an appeal to them was not allowed.
You attended a City Council meeting on July 23, 2018 and expressed the desire to have City Council take
some action to grant you relief. Council took no action, hence the fees due to the City must be
satisfied before any permits can be issued pursuant to the Clean Hands Ordinance.
| believe this is an accurate summary of the history of this matter and that no further consideration is
warranted unless and until your obligations to the City are met.

RE: 19-21 N. American Avenue
Dear Robin and Mark:
Ihave reviewed the file and the status of outstanding obligations to the City as well as your recent
permit applications. My intent was to see if the permits could be issued within the guidelines of the
Vacant Building process and the City’s Clean Hands Ordinance. It appears:
Year One (2014): The property was first registered as vacant on March 10, 2014 (year one)
Ron Coburn agreed to waive the first-year ic iw response to statements that work was be
undertaken for repairs —- Owner stated that minor renovations would be done but a permit was never
obtained.
Year Two (2015): registration was undertaken on March 11, 20015. Year two fee ves waived as
owner indicated that renovations were continuing, and the son would occupy the premises within the
year. No permits were secured. Owner was told that there would be no further exemptions unless
exemption requirements were met.
Year Three (2016): Registration was noticed on May 10, 2016 and a fee of (was assessed. There
was no appeal filed nor any permit action during the 30-day appeal period. This fee was not paid during
2016 and no permits were obtained. The fee was placed on the 2017 tax bill and was eventually paid on
November 30, 2017.
Year Four (2017): Registration was noticed on March 10, 2017 and a fee of a: assessed. There
was no appeal filed nor any permit action taken during the 30-day appeal period following notice. A
permit application was ultimately submitted on June 26, 2017 (#17-1071). That permit was not issued,
and its status is unclear.
Fifth Year (2018) notice was issued on April 10, 2018 with a fee of rere was no appeal filed nor
any permit action taken during the 30-day appeal period following notice even though the owner was
previously advised to submit for building permits to qualify for the exemption provision. This fee was
also included in the 2018 tax bill recently issued by the City. Vacant Building fees totaling 2027 &
2018) are included in that tax bill and are due to the City before any permits can be issued pursuant to
the Clean Hands Ordinance. Upon review it was determined that the window for an appeal of the
outstanding fees to the Property Management Board had closed.

At staff request, residential renovations (porch and fence) permit applications and requests for waivers
of building permit fees under the Downtown Incentives program were submitted on July 13, 2018 to
establish intent once any obligations to the City are satisfied.
At this time these requests and applications can not be processed and are on hold. There is no further
action that the Building and Inspections staff can take until all financial obligations have been cleared.
Those matters fall under the domain of the City Manager and Customer Services Department.

Dave,
Based on the letter and our conversation, | find no fault with the actions of City staff. The only loose thread appears to
be the June 26, 2017, permit application. However, that application would have been denied under the Clean Hands
ordinance as there was al elinquent vacant building fee outstanding. Appeal deadlines were missed. There is no
principled basis upon which the ity can grant any relief.

RE: 19 North American Avenue
Dear Mrs. Achenbach:
Please accept this letter as a follow up to a vacant building fee waiver | agreed to on July 10,
2017. My sincere apologies, but at the time I was not aware of the history of this matter, nor the
process that is supposed to be followed to appeal a building registration fee. With this
understanding, I have found that I have violated the City Code by approving this exemption,
I regret to inform you, that I need to reverse this decision and have the credits reversed on your
account. It would also not be proper for me to allow this to happen when all others have
followed the City Code. I would appreciate it if you could please get in touch with City Clerk’s
Office at (302) 736-7008 and make the necessary arrangements to appeal this matter in
accordance with the City Code.
Sec. 22-1. - Construction and property maintenance code board of appeals.
(b) Appeals. Whenever any person is aggrieved by a decision of the building inspector
with respect to the provision of this chapter, it is the right of that person to appeal to the

RE: 19 North American Avenue
Dear Mrs. Achenbach:
Mayor Christiansen has shared with me your displeasure with the reversal of my decision to
waive the vacant building fees as indicated in my letter of September 1, 2017. I can understand
your concerns; however, I did explain the history of this case, which was not provided at the time
of our origina! discussion. I have attached a copy of the history with the staff comments for your
review.
The history shows this matter was first documented on February 11, 2014. It also indicates in
both 2014 and 2015 you would be applying for the building permits after speaking to the
Inspector. The Inspector took you at your word and waived the fees as allowed by the code;
however, the permit was never applied for in both instances.
After receiving the first fee assessment certified letter you signed for on March 12, 2016, there
was ample time to appeal the fee. The second fee assessment certified letter you signed for on
March 14, 2017, also prompted no action on your part.
As explained in my previous letter, I did not realize the request for me to waive the fees violated
our City Code, as there is no provision for the City Manager to waive the vacant building fees
under these circumstances. The relief provided to the citizens in the Dover Code is the appeal
process. The Property Maintenance and Construction Code Board of Appeals can make this
decision.
Sincerely,
Que Any dRure_

Case Number: 14-00000323
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Achenbach:
On June 26, 2006, the Dover City Council adopted the Vacant Building
Ordinance to reduce the negative impact vacant buildings have on the
surrounding businesses and neighborhoods. This letter is to inform you that
your building has been found to be vacant as defined under Article 12,
Chapter 22 of the Dover Code of Ordinances.
In accordance with this ordinance, this building must be registered with the
City of Dover. Enclosed with this notice is a registration form. Please
return this form by March 13, 2014 to the City of Dover Department of
Planning and Inspections. Failure to return the form within 30 days of
mailing will result in the building being registered by this department.
An annual registration fee shall be paid at the time of registration. If the
building inspector registers the building as vacant the fee shall be due not
later than 30 days after the building is registered as vacant. Please read
the enclosed leaflet for more information on fees and any exemptions that may
apply with the fees.
The building inspector shall inspect any premises in the city for the purpose
of enforcing and assuring compliance with the provisions of this article.
Upon request of the building inspector, an owner shall provide access to all
interior portions of a vacant building in order to permit a _ complete
inspection.
Please contact this office between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at
(302) 736-7011 with any questions or concerns regarding this letter.
