The Dover Code Board of Appeals met on September 10, 2026, to hear an appeal by a resident regarding a $100 citation for parking on the grass at 846 Monroe Terrace in violation of Dover Code Section 106-130. Ms. Evans contended the vehicle was only stopped briefly on the grass to assist her physically disabled husband following major surgery. Code Enforcement officers testified that this was a repeat violation and the code contains no exceptions for temporary unloading. Following discussion regarding potential driveway extension permits and reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Board voted unanimously to postpone the appeal pending legal guidance from the City Solicitor on ADA applicability.
