March 10, 2025 Craig Forster 74 Carnoustie Road Dover, DE 19904 Re: Appeal of Citation #25-00000702 — Vacant Building Registration — 74 Carnoustie Road Dear Mr. Forster, We have received your request to appeal the decision of the Building Inspector to register your property as vacant in accordance with Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XII - Vacant Buildings, Section 22-403- Registration and Registration Fee. A meeting of the Construction and Property Maintenance Code Board of Appeals has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 19, 2025, at 3:30 p.m. to hear your appeal. This meeting will be held in the City Hall Conference Room, 15 Loockerman Plaza, Dover, DE 19901 with electronic access via WebEx, which may be accessed through a computer, smartphone, or a telephone call. Below, I have listed the information needed to access the meeting electronically. If you have any additional documentation that you would like the Board to review when considering your appeal, please provide this information to the City Clerk’s Office prior to the appeal hearing. Please feel free to contact me by email at cityclerk@dover.de.us or by phone at (302) 736-7008 if you have any questions or concerns.

Craig Forster 02/24/2025 74 Carnoustie Road Dover, DE 19904 Craigf0405@gmail.com (302)242-1224 Division of Code Enforcement Case # 25-00000702 Attn: John England 15 Lockerman Plaza Dover, DE 19901 Dover City of Clerks Office, I would like to appeal my case #25-00000702. My house is not a vacant building and does not meet the definitions of Vacant Building by the Vacant Building Ordinance. My house has never been unoccupied for more than three consecutive months. I previously discussed this same information with Mr. Ron Coburn, Code Enforcement Officer. Ron politely listened to my information that I was providing and he communicated to me that the information was sufficient to not be a vacant building and I wouldn’t need to write a letter to appeal. On 2/18/25, I wrote a letter to John England, similar to what I had written to Ron Coburn. I received a phone call from John on Friday, 2/21/25 late in the afternoon that said that he was denying my request as not vacant and that I had until the next business day, Monday, 2/24/25 to write a letter to appeal my case. I called John England to discuss the reason for him declining my request and John was not interested in listening to me and only communicated that I had to write a letter to appeal by Monday, 2/24/25. During this call, John also said that Ron had no right to do so earlier which very much surprised me. I pay taxes, am a good corporate citizen, maintain the house and the property (including a common section owned by the city behind my house that was neglected for years), and pay attention to activities in my neighborhood and with my neighbors.

Paj 8

I do live at my house on a temporary basis, which most of the time is a day to 3 days every week to maybe every other week. The only exception would be if I travel on short trips and these trips are never greater than or close to being away for 3 months. I venture to guess that people that have a house in Dover and live in Florida during the winter months are away from their house a lot longer than me being at my house each week. I’m not sure why it is determined that no one has lived in (occupied) my house and I can assure you that it has not been vacant as defined in the ordinance. So whatever means that it was determined is inaccurate. I respectfully ask to have this appeal approved. Sincerely, Craig Forster
