REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on June 11, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Slavin presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Lewis (arrived at 7:34 p.m.), Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Lindell. Staff members present were Police Chief Mailey, Ms. Peddicord, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Hugg, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Christiansen was also present (departed at 7:52 p.m.). OPEN FORUM The Open Forum was held at 7:00 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting. Council President Slavin declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that Council was not in official session and could not take formal action. Mr. Ken Abraham applauded the City for adopting the ANGEL Program, which offers help to those dealing with an opiate addiction, and suggested that the program be advertised and promoted. Mr. Steven Fuller, 7 Nixon Lane, spoke in opposition to the discontinuation of city trash collection for out-of-city residents. Mr. Allan Angel, 101 Nixon Lane, spoke in opposition to the discontinuation of city trash collection for out-of-city residents. The invocation was given by Bishop Thomas L. Holsey, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mayor Christiansen requested that item #2 - Certificate of Recognition and Congratulations - Nicholas H. Rodriguez, be removed from the agenda. Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the agenda, as amended. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried (Lewis absent). Mrs. Mitchell requested that item #7-B-1 - Sale and Disposition of Excess Real Property, be removed from the Consent Agenda. Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Consent Agenda, as amended, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Lewis absent). ADOPTION OF MINUTES - SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 14, 2018 The Minutes of the Special Council Meeting of May 14, 2018 were unanimously approved (Lewis absent) by motion of Mr. Hare, seconded by Mr. Neil and bore the written approval of Mayor Christiansen.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 2 ADOPTION OF MINUTES - ANNUAL COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 14, 2018 The Minutes of the Annual Council Meeting of May 14, 2018 were unanimously approved (Lewis absent) by motion of Mr. Hare, seconded by Mr. Neil and bore the written approval of Mayor Christiansen. PRESENTATION - RELOCATION OF DOVER POST OFFICE Mr. Richard Hancock, United States Postal Service (USPS), advised that he was the real estate specialist and new space acquisition project manager for the USPS. He noted that the lease for their current location expires at the end of March 2020 and they were looking to relocate the post office. Mr. Hancock advised that whenever the Postal Service considers relocating a retail post office, they present that concept to the local government, as well as to the public, explain their process, and solicit feedback and suggestions for a new location. He noted that he was the point of communication for the project and the next action step would be to provide the public with at least a 30-day comment period. Mr. Sudler asked if the USPS had considered Value City as a location, due to accessibility and parking. He also asked what other major challenges they may have in looking for another location. Responding, Mr. Hancock advised that they were familiar with the Value City building and the requirements for the new location would be approximately 23,000 square feet of space, 160 parking spaces, and three (3) and a half acres of property. He stated that their goal was to maintain the retail operation as close as possible to its current location; however, they would consider splitting their operations if they cannot find a property that works for both. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hancock advised that he could be contacted via email at Richard.A.Hancock2@usps.gov or by phone at (336) 665-2848. Mr. Anderson expressed concerns about rumors of shrinking the footprint for mail delivery and he wished Mr. Hancock well in finding a great location to serve the City of Dover. Mr. Neil noted that the City is currently looking for space for a garage and asked if either Mayor Christiansen or Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, were sharing information with Mr. Hancock to help him with locations. Responding, Mr. Hancock stated that they were. Mayor Christiansen advised that they had also been working with the federal delegation to expedite the process. PUBLIC HEARING - ELECTRIC REVENUE FUND BUDGET A public hearing on the Electric Revenue Fund Budget is required for compliance with City of Dover Electric Revenue Bonds Resolutions prior to adoption of the budget. Notice of the public hearing was properly advertised for this time and place. Council President Slavin declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to speak during the public hearing, Council President Slavin declared the public hearing closed. Council President Slavin noted that the First Reading of the Budget Ordinances would take place during the latter part of the meeting and that the Final Reading and adoption of the Ordinances were scheduled for the Regular Council Meeting of June 25, 2018.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 3 SETTING OF ELECTRIC RATES AND TARIFFS Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the proposed electric rates and tariffs, noting that implementation of a Purchased Power Adjustment (PPA) Credit of $.00382 was proposed to begin July 1, 2018, resulting in an estimated reduction to customer charges of $2.8 million. She stated that the 2018 rate study was updated to improve commercial and industrial rate competitiveness. Mrs. Mitchell advised that New Gen Strategies & Solutions was tasked with re-balancing appropriate allocation of cost recovery while developing regionally competitive electric rates. The study was completed with consideration of the forecasted power supply. Mrs. Mitchell recommended re- visiting the Business Retention Rates upon request, as each entity has different load requirements and should be analyzed on an individual basis. Mr. Hare moved to adopt the rates and tariffs as presented for Fiscal Year 2019, setting the power cost adjustment to a credit of ($.00382), and not reinstating the business retention rate that expired on July 1, 2016. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION NO. 2018-04 APPROVING ISSUANCE OF CERTAIN BONDS OR NOTES BY ROBBINS HOSE COMPANY NO. 1 OF DOVER, DELAWARE Members were provided Proposed Resolution No. 2018-04 approving the issuance of certain bonds or notes by Robbins Hose Company No. 1. Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, advised that it would be necessary to revise the Resolution due to additional information that she recently discovered. She noted that one of the most important pieces of information was that, due to the forthcoming electric bond refunding for $18M, the financing for the fire apparatus would no longer qualify for a bank-qualified debt, which is tax-exempt financing. Ms. Peddicord advised that they had asked the bank to provide them with some non-bank-qualified debt rates, noting that the bank-qualified rate is currently 4.076% and the non-bank-qualified rate is 4.128%. She noted that, although it is not a huge variance, it will require revisions to the Resolution. Ms. Peddicord advised that the total value to be financed was changed from $635,291 to $639,254. Additionally, there could be a change in the terms from a bond or note to general financing because they may be considering a lease purchase agreement. Ms. Peddicord recommended adoption of Resolution No. 2018-04, noting the necessary revisions. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Peddicord advised that the necessary revisions were not included in the packet for Council member’s review. Mr. Slavin advised that the revisions were not received in time for the packet and suggested that it would be prudent to defer this item for transparency. Responding to Mr. Polce, Ms. Peddicord confirmed that the rate difference was a tenth of a percentage point and that the revisions were nominal. Mr. Neil moved to defer this matter until the next Council meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried with Mr. Sudler voting no.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 4 COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT - MAY 15, 2018 The Council Committee of the Whole met on May 15, 2018 at 6:01 p.m., with Council President Slavin presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Lindell. Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lewis, and Mayor Christiansen were absent. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Caldwell and Dr. Warfield (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), and Mr. Shevock and Dr. Stewart (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Sudler presiding. Update - Dover Park Master Plan Mrs. Margery Cyr, Library Director, reminded members that the City had contracted with Whitman, Requardt and Associates, LLP to draft a Master Plan for Dover Park and advised that staff began work with Whitman, Requardt and Associates, LLP on April 10, 2018. She stated that it was agreed that community and neighbor input was critical to the accuracy of any Master Plan; therefore, a three-day charrette was organized to involve the community in the planning process. Mrs. Cyr reviewed a flyer regarding the Dover Park Master Plan May 2018 Events. She noted that the open house, scheduled for Wednesday, May 16, 2018 from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., would be held at the Dover Public Library due to the anticipated inclement weather. Mrs. Cyr advised that, in preparation for the charrette, Whitman, Requardt and Associates, LLP was provided with feasibility studies, public input, and all documentation that had been gathered during recent years relating to options for Dover Park development. She stated that neighbors and community leaders had been interviewed to gather further data, and a WikiMapping survey had been published to allow members of the community to provide online input. Mrs. Cyr noted that the WikiMapping survey would be available online until Tuesday, May 22, 2018. Mrs. Cyr stated that, in June, the consultants would work with the data collected to create the master plan. She anticipated that staff would begin reviewing the first draft of the Dover Park Master Plan by mid-July, and that the Plan would be complete and ready to bring forward to the Committee by mid-August. Mr. Neil stated that he looked forward to joining Mrs. Cyr at the Library for the Kick-Off and Open House event. He noted that although he would have to leave early, he had already talked to the representative from Whitman, Requardt and Associates, LLP and made his thoughts known.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 5 LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Hare presiding. Sale and Disposition of Excess Real Property Mr. Kirby Hudson, Assistant City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the sale and disposition of nine (9) City owned properties. Staff recommended the following: 1. Determine that the property is excess property; 2. Authorize the City Manager to convey the excess property in accordance with Chapter 2, Section 2-422 d - Standard Method of Disposition unless requested by the City Council to dispose in accordance with Chapter 2, Section e - Exception to Standard Method of Disposition; and 3. Authorize the City Manager’s Office to negotiate a final sale price. Mr. Sudler asked where exactly the properties on College Road and Slaughter Street were located. Referring to the property at 1502 College Road, he asked specifically where on College Road it was located, for example, near the annex building for Delaware State University or near the intersection. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hudson explained that he was going to provide an aerial photo of the properties; however, he did not. Referring to “Exhibit A, City of Dover Properties Proposed for Sale - Summary,” he noted that the two (2) properties listed as “land” were uniquely shaped and he considered them landlocked, since there is no real access to the properties except by going across someone else’s property. Mr. Hudson indicated that, in these cases, staff would probably contact the adjacent property owner to determine if they would make a deal where they would just take the land, noting that he did not think that these properties would sell. Mr. Sudler asked who previously owned 715 Slaughter Street. In response, Mr. Hudson stated that since these were all monition sales, he did not have that information, however, he offered to provide it. Mr. Neil asked whether the National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL) or Habitat for Humanity would be able to build homes on any of these properties at this time. Responding, Mr. Hudson stated that he was hoping that is the case. He reminded members that several of these properties were with R & R Realty and they struggled to sell them. Mr. Hudson recalled that R & R had started with a list of 10 to 12 properties and were successful in selling a few but struggled to sell these. He indicated that staff was asking for the authority to negotiate pricing so that they can approach entities like NCALL to determine if they are interested. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation, as follows: 1. Determine that the property is excess property; 2. Authorize the City Manager to convey the excess property in accordance with Chapter 2, Section 2-422 d - Standard

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 6 Method of Disposition unless requested by the City Council to dispose in accordance with Chapter 2, Section e - Exception to Standard Method of Disposition; and 3. Authorize the City Manager’s Office to negotiate a final sale price. During the Council meeting, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, advised that the list of properties that was provided to the Council Committee of the Whole/Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee on May 15, 2018 contained errors and noted the following corrections: 145 North Ann Avenue was listed as 145 North Ann Street The land at 237 Rear College Road should have been 237 Rear Mifflin Road Some of the parcel i.d. numbers were missing zeros Mrs. Mitchell assured members that the ad for the public hearing would contain the correct property information. Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, as follows: 1. Determine that the property is excess property; 2. Authorize the City Manager to convey the excess property in accordance with Chapter 2, Section 2-422 d - Standard Method of Disposition unless requested by the City Council to dispose in accordance with Chapter 2, Section e - Exception to Standard Method of Disposition; and 3. Authorize the City Manager’s Office to negotiate a final sale price. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lewis and unanimously carried. Mr. Lewis moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole Report, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. SETTING OF PUBLIC HEARING - SALE AND DISPOSITION OF EXCESS REAL PROPERTY In accordance with Chapter 2 - Administration, Article V - Finance, Section 2-422 - Sale and Disposition of Real Property, (d) Standard Method of Disposition (2) of the Dover Code, City Council, after receiving a positive recommendation from the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee to dispose of a surplus parcel of land, shall, as part of its deliberations publicize the pertinent information concerning the surplus parcel and its availability for purchase to the general public at least once a week for two weeks in a local newspaper and make public, and a part of the record, all written correspondence received and, after the publicizing requirements of subsection (2)(d) are met, hold a public hearing to receive any other citizen input. Staff recommended setting the public hearing for Monday, July 23, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Sudler moved for approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. MONTHLY REPORTS - APRIL 2017 By motion of Mr. Hare, seconded by Mr. Neil, the following monthly reports were accepted by consent agenda:

The only remaining work on that project was providing services to the homes. Mrs. Mitchell reminded members that the Firefly Music Festival was being held that weekend.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 9 COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Sudler announced that there would be a Fourth District Community Meeting for the Woodcrest community on June 20, 2018 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. He noted that a few of the agenda items would be the update on the exterior infrastructure repairs, sidewalks, and code of appeals. Additional community concerns regarding public safety and the stormwater drainage system, also referred to as retention pond nuisance, would be discussed. Mr. Anderson thanked Councilman Sudler for his diligence as they worked together on those issues. Mr. Anderson announced that the Dover Elk’s Lodge conditional use permit had been removed from the Planning Commission agenda for June 18, 2018 due to a lack of sufficient public notice. He stated that it was an important change that was of interest to many people in their neighborhoods. Mr. Anderson stated that no changes should occur without the input of the residents from the beginning and he urged the proprietors of the Elk's Lodge to make sure that they have a consensus in the community prior to bringing their application forward. He noted that the Elk’s Lodge’s non- conforming use status was withdrawn by the City as a result of illegal behavior on the part of the Elk's Lodge. Mr. Cole, noting that he and Councilman Neil represent many in the Third District, stated that whenever they have concerns, staff members answer questions and resolve issues very quickly. He requested Mrs. Mitchell to thank staff for him and to let them know that he cannot show his appreciation enough. Mr. Neil, noting that many of the Third District constituents would be would be partially closed off during Firefly, stated that he hoped the influx of people would benefit not only the City of Dover, but the entire State of Delaware. He also thanked the Police Department who would be working very hard to keep them safe during that period of time. Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:58 p.m. TRACI A.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole met on June 12, 2018 at 6:00 p.m., with Council President Slavin presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole (departed at 7:11 p.m. and returned at 7:12 p.m.), Mr. Polce (departed at 7:09 p.m. and returned at 7:10 p.m.), and Mr. Lindell (departed at 7:24 p.m. and returned at 7:25 p.m.). Mr. Lewis and Mr. Hare were absent. Mayor Christiansen was also absent. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Caldwell and Dr. Warfield (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), Mrs. Doyle (Utility), and Mr. Shevock and Dr. Stewart (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). Mr. Garfinkel (Safety Advisory and Transportation) and Ms. Scarborough (Utility) were absent. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Sudler presiding. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. Presentation - Summer in the Parks Mrs. Margery Cyr, Library Director, stated that it is no secret that the ability to read is one of the keys to a successful life and is surely the key to success in school. She advised that public libraries around the world work hard at preventing the summer slide, which is a phenomenon that occurs to elementary and middle school students when they stop reading during the summer. Mrs. Cyr stated that the Dover Public Library offers opportunities for reading and engagement during the summer; however, they have worried about changes in today's environment, which make visiting the library on a regular basis difficult for many families. She explained that they struggle with creating a plan to bring library services out into the community for the benefit of those who need the services most, but can't get there for one reason or another. Mrs. Cyr stated that the Parks and Recreation Department is blessed with 33 City parks and they have long wished for an opportunity to bring active programming into the parks during the summer, but had been challenged with limited resources to do so. She informed members that last winter, the Library and Parks and Recreation Department met to discuss how to meet these needs with the limited resources of both departments and staff agreed to collaborate on a project called Tuesday in the Park. Mrs. Cyr reviewed a flier regarding Tuesday in the Park (Attachment #1), explaining that on Tuesdays, beginning June 19, 2018 at 11:00 a.m., the Library and the Parks and Recreation Department will offer programs that combine reading enrichment and physical activities. She noted that the programs would take place at Mallard Pond Park, Dover New Street Park, and Dover Park, and children, youth and families are encouraged to participate. Mrs. Cyr stated that the Dover Police Athletic League (P.A.L.) has struggled with some of the same issues for service that the Library and Parks and Recreation Department are facing. She reviewed a flier regarding Upcoming Dover P.A.L. Events (Attachment #2), noting that on Fridays, beginning July 6, 2018 at 10:00 a.m., the Police Athletic League will offer physical activity and fun for all ages.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 2 a flier regarding Upcoming Dover P.A.L. Events (Attachment #2), noting that on Fridays, beginning July 6, 2018 at 10:00 a.m., the Police Athletic League will offer physical activity and fun for all ages. Mrs. Cyr stated that the Friday P.A.L. events would be held at People's Church, Dover Park, Mayfair Park, and Schutte Park. Mrs. Cyr informed members that the Library, Parks and Recreation Department, and Dover P.A.L. are very excited about this opportunity to bring events for families into the parks this summer. She expressed her hope that members would join them in the parks and help them spread the word about this amazing opportunity for the community. Mr. Neil indicated that he thought this was a terrific set-up of programs throughout the entire City that would be spectacular for the entire community. He expressed his hope that the word gets out and that the crowds come, noting that he thinks the people will enjoy it. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Cyr stated that she would be happy to email the fliers to members in PDF and jpeg formats, so they can use them however they want to. Referring to the reading enrichment program at 11:00 a.m. at Dover Park, Mr. Sudler asked what accommodations would be made if it rains, noting that there is no center. Responding, Mrs. Cyr explained that all of the programs are outside at all of the parks, and the only park that has an inside facility is Schutte Park, which will be used for a P.A.L. event. She noted that all of the events are subject to the weather and they do have lots of pop-up tents that they are planning to take with them. Mrs. Cyr stated that they have an opportunity to move some of them into the Library; however, that is not really ideal because the purpose is to bring the events out into the community. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:08 p.m. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Cole presiding. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved as presented. Annexation Request - 3074 North DuPont Highway, Owned by Jesse L. Allen Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director/City Engineer, reviewed the Petition to Annex and Rezone Property located at 3074 North DuPont Highway, owned by Jesse L. Allen. She explained that although the annexation has being going through the appropriate process as contained within the Code, she wanted to clarify the comments provided by the Public Works Department regarding the water and sewer availability for the site. Mrs. Duca stated that she is not aware of what the applicant or owner intends to utilize the property for, or the basis of their request for wanting to

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 3 and sewer within that proximity. She advised that installation of City services would require approval from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to bore under Route 13. Mrs. Duca stated that DelDOT does not want utilities in their rights-of-way any longer; therefore, this would require a special approval from DelDOT. Mrs. Duca informed members that due to the fact that it would have to be bored and the County force main, which is already having issues, lies in the median, there will have to be particular caution and requirements and it would be highly unlikely that they would be able to obtain gravity sewer, which means they would need grinder pump connection. She explained that, depending on what they want to utilize the site for, they may need a two-inch connection for a standard usage or, if they are building a larger building or if the use of the building would require a sprinkler system, as per the Fire Marshal, that could require an eight-inch main to be run across. Mrs. Duca stated that the tentative costs at this point to provide service only to the property, which would be born by the applicant, would be $85,000 for the sewer and a two-inch line connection or $100,000 if an eight-inch line. Mrs. Duca noted that, through Kent County, Tidewater provides sewer and water to residences to the east and they also have an interconnection from the City through Wilmington University to provide supplemental water to that area if needed. Mrs. Duca advised that the closest water and sewer on the east side that is the City’s, is at Wilmington University, explaining that there is water at Wilmington University and they have a pump station that is City owned but associated with that site because there is no gravity sewer. She stated that there is also a force main near the Wawa which serves the Wawa and other properties south; however, based upon an analysis that was done when the Sonic went in prior to the Starbucks, that force main is pretty much at a capacity and would not be able to receive additional flow. Mrs. Duca explained that the distances to either location on the east side of the highway are greater than 600 feet and would most likely have to run in the right-of-way, which would require DelDOT approval and also be very expensive, similarly to crossing the highway. Mrs. Duca stated that these are items that Council and the applicant may want to consider as part of the overall annexation because it may affect what is proposed for the site. Mr. Neil indicated that he thought that this annexation request seemed premature unless these issues are worked out. He asked if it made any sense to proceed with the annexation, unless the owner wants the property annexed without the availability of water and sewer. Responding, Mrs. Duca explained this was why Public Works Department staff recommended that the applicant should probably review this information to determine if this is still a path forward that they would like, particularly if their original intent was to receive City water and sewer. She noted that for commercial properties it is typically the developer’s responsibility to provide the water and sewer to their property. Mrs. Duca stated that the City does not provide individual service at its expense and if the City wanted to expand service to the east side of the highway, it would be much more expensive than what's proposed here and would also go into Tidewater districts. Mr. Neil asked how the Committee should proceed with this request other than a motion to defer it until such time as the applicant can resolve the issues that Mrs. Duca has reviewed. Responding, Mr. Cole advised that no action was required by the Committee at this time. Mrs. Duca stated that this was informative and that it was her belief that this information was being provided to the applicant since it is scheduled for consideration by the Development Advisory Committee and Planning Commission, and would also be coming back to City Council for consideration at a future meeting.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 4 Mr. Slavin noted that, as a matter of procedure, the proper action would be for the Committee to move this matter forward with no recommendation, which would allow the normal annexation process to continue. Mr. Slavin moved to move this item forward with no recommendation, seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried with Mr. Anderson voting no. Evaluation of Bids - Delaware Tech Pump Station Replacement Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director/City Engineer, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the Delaware Tech Pump Station Replacement. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Teal Construction, Inc., for the City of Dover Delaware Tech Pump Station Replacement Project, Bid #18-0025PW, for the amount of $355,118. Mr. Sudler asked what the second lowest bid was and what the variation in the service would be between the two (2) contractors. Responding, Mrs. Duca stated that the second lowest bid was from George & Lynch, Inc. in the amount of $446,710.00 and, since these were bids, all of the contractors evaluated met all of the bidders qualifications and these are based upon price. Mr. Neil applauded staff, noting that he had observed that all of the bids being considered by the Committee during the meeting came in under budget, with the exception of one. He stated that he thought that this fit into the comprehensive plan of what the City is supposed to be doing in terms of these structures. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids - North State Street Water Main Replacement Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director/City Engineer, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the North State Street Water Main Replacement. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Gateway Construction, Inc., for the City of Dover North State Street Water Main Replacement Project, Bid #18-0028PW, for the amount of $163,480. Mr. Anderson asked how many recent contracts the City had with Gateway Construction, Inc. Responding, Mrs. Duca stated that the City had a few contracts with Gateway Construction, Inc. over the years, on various types of projects. She noted that they do all kinds of work and, for the most part, they had been responsive. Mr. Sudler thanked staff for their insight, noting that he thought it was a good call to assess and address this future problematic situation. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 5 Evaluation of Bids - Silver Lake Pump Station Replacement Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director/City Engineer, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the Silver Lake Pump Station Replacement. She noted that it is the second of the three pump stations that are part of the Revolving Loan Fund package that the Department has been working on. Mrs. Duca advised that this pump station has exceeded its useful life and there will be some capacity adjustments, which will be funded through the impact fee reserves. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Teal Construction, Inc., for the City of Dover Silver Lake Pump Station Replacement Project, Bid #18-0026PW, for the amount of $422,338. Mr. Sudler asked Mrs. Duca for her opinion regarding why a lot of the bids were now coming in under budget. In response, Mrs. Duca stated that two (2) of the key factors that staff deals with relating to the bids are the time of year when they bid them out in relation to construction work, and the overall types of work being done in the area. In regard to the time of year, she explained that there can be a variation of price if contractors are already knee deep in projects and it would cost more for them to mobilize more crews to get these jobs done. Mrs. Duca, referring to the types of work being done in the area, stated that if there are lulls with private work on the utility side, the City could get better prices on jobs. She advised members that staff has found that they can often get better prices by bidding a combination of projects out at the same time because contractors will be able to anticipate getting more work and be able to book their time better. Mrs. Duca reminded members that they had previously bid the Bradford Street and William Street water main replacement in the same bid. She stated that it is about trying to find appropriate combinations and keeping an eye on the market at the same time. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids - Walker Woods Pump Station Replacement Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director/City Engineer, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the Walker Woods Pump Station Replacement. She noted that it is the third of the three pump stations that are part of the Revolving Loan Fund package that the Department has been working on. Mrs. Duca advised that this is the remaining infrastructure item that the City retained after the redevelopment of the Walker Woods development that started a couple of years ago. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Teal Construction, Inc., for the City of Dover Walker Woods Pump Station Replacement Project, Bid #18-0027PW, for the amount of $525,000. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids - Water Treatment Plant Process Improvements Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director/City Engineer, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the Water Treatment Plant Process Improvements. She noted that there were concerns about the efficiency of being able to remove iron magnesia and that type of thing

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 6 out of the shallow wells because this is the unconfined aquifer, and explained that the upgrades will improve the overall efficiency of the Plant. Mrs. Duca reminded members that the design for the upgrades went through a value engineering assessment through White Marsh, which was previously approved by the Committee and Council. She advised that, taking into account the operational requirements of the City of Dover, it was determined that this is the most appropriate design, although it is more expensive than originally thought before the design was complete. Mrs. Duca explained that the City Manager had included these funds within the budget, starting next year and it would also be partially funding through a loan from the Revolving Fund. She stated that, at this point, with the appropriate planning, staff was within the budget requirements for this project and would be able to proceed with the loan as required. Mrs. Duca informed members that this project is expected to take over the next year or so to complete. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Johnston Construction Company for the Water Treatment Plant Process Improvements, Bid #18-0014PW, for the amount of $5,972,851. Mr. Anderson asked what was meant by the note that Bearing Construction and Johnston Construction Company provided extensions of their bids. Responding, Mrs. Duca explained that when the City originally put this project out to bid, the contractors had to hold the price for 90 days; however, due to the fact that the City wanted to go through the Value Engineering Assessment to make sure we were on the right track, we had to ask the contractors if they would hold their bid prices for a longer period of time. She stated that not all of the contractors held their prices but the final selection was made from those who did. Mr. Polce noted that he understood that the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund is a federal-state partnership and match, and asked if there is a maximum allocation request that the City can make for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. In response, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, advised members that there probably is a maximum allocation; however, the City is evidently not exceeding it because the Water Advisory Committee reviews this and tells the City whether or not they are eligible for funds, and they authorized these funds. Mr. Sudler stated that he wanted to personally thank those contractors who held their bid, explaining that, as a contractor, he knows that contractors really do not want to hold a bid price because materials go up, and there are all kinds of variables when it comes to a bid. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Proposals - Puncheon Run Wastewater Engineering Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director/City Engineer, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of proposals for the Puncheon Run Wastewater Engineering. Mrs. Duca explained that this is one (1) of the City’s larger pump stations and has a grit removal system that takes care of some of the solids and other inappropriate matter that is located within the wastewater stream. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Pennoni Associates for the Puncheon Run Wastewater Engineering, Bid #18-0023PW, for the amount of $47,900.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 7 Mr. Sudler asked what the difference in the life span was for the current system versus the proposed new system. Responding, Mrs. Duca explained that part of the design is to provide the proposal on the new system. She stated that, in general, most things that they can choose from today have a better life span than what would have been put in the station 30 years ago. Mrs. Duca advised that one (1) of the key components of the design is testing the waste stream to see if there are any particular components that need to be taken into consideration for the materials that are used as part of the design, for instance, if something could be more corrosive, that could jeopardize the life span. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Proposals - Water Treatment Plant Construction Support Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director/City Engineer, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of proposals for the Water Treatment Plant Construction Support. She explained that construction support is required because the level of the project being performed is outside the background of most of the City’s inspection staff and with the complexity of this station, staff would like people who are proficient in this area to make sure the construction is done properly and inspected. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Duffield Associates for the Construction Support related to the Water Treatment Plant Process Improvements, Bid #18-0018PW, for the amount of $298,500. Mr. Polce noted that the $7M budget for this project included the construction phase and construction support phase. He stated that $7M seemed great and asked how the City was generating these budgeted numbers and whether they were benchmarked accordingly. Responding, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, advised that this project was originally budgeted for $2.7M and they had gone through the State Revolving Loan Fund for approval of that budget. She explained that when they got the engineering estimates, it was up to $6M. Mrs. Mitchell informed members that staff was able to divert $2M from the Wastewater Fund budget that had been budgeted for a water tower for the west side of Dover for which they were never able to get easements, and they received approval to increase the State Revolving Fund loan to $4M. She stated that the loan was for $4M and the rest of the funding was coming from the Water/Sewer Fund, impact fees, etc. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:38 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Council President Slavin presiding in the absence of Chairman Hare.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 8 AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Discussion - Fiscal Year 2018 Audit Program Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed a presentation entitled “Auditor’s Responsibility for Communicating with Audit Committee,” dated June 12, 2018. Mr. Polce stated that it was his assumption that the City did compliance audits as well as financial audits and asked what the typical audit requests were. In response, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, stated that for the financial audit, the auditors will audit the City for compliance with internal controls and those types of things. She noted, however, that they will not do compliance audits for grant funds or those types of things. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the City does not have a State auditor's office compliance audit. She advised that they will audit any grants that are greater than a certain threshold, which she believes was currently $750,000, and if the City does not exceed that threshold, it will not have an audit. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the City did not have an audit the past couple of years because it did not exceed that threshold, noting that the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) fund is only approximately $300,000. She advised the revolving fund loans are partly federal monies and, due to the size of the loans, the City would see audits in the future. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend acceptance of the report, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Proposed Amendments to Employee Handbook - City of Dover Personnel Policy, Article VII - Ethical Conduct, Se ction 6 - Harassment and Discrimination, Section 7 - Acceptable Use of Communications and Computer Systems (New), Section 8 - Social Networking: Personal Online/Internet Content Policy (New), and Section 9 - Pregnant Workers Fairness Act Guidelines (New) Mrs. Kim Hawkins, Director of Human Resources, reviewed the proposed amendments to the Employee Handbook - City of Dover Personnel Policy. She noted that currently Section 6 - Harassment and Discrimination, was limited to one (1) line and, in today’s market and employment field, it really needed to be enhanced tremendously. Mrs. Hawkins stated that the proposed amendments provide very good details of what to do if an employee is experiencing harassment and/or discrimination within the work environment, including who to report it to, what will happen once it's been reported, and the action that will be taken when the investigation is complete. Mrs. Hawkins advised that Section 7 - Acceptable Use of Communications and Computer Systems, was a current City policy that is distributed to all new employees and since she was brining forward other amendments for consideration, she thought it was a good opportunity to include it in the Employee Handbook - City of Dover Personnel Policy. In regard to Section 8 - Social Networking: Personal Online/Internet Content Policy, Mrs. Hawkins explained that this new section was very similar to what is currently implemented for officers by the Police Department. She advised that this section basically states that employees need to make it clear when they are on social websites that their opinions are not the opinions of the City of Dover. She noted that the City is not restricting an employee’s ability to communicate on social media; the City just wants them to differentiate between personal thoughts and those of a City of Dover employee. Mrs. Hawkins informed members that Section 9 - Pregnant Workers Fairness Act Guidelines, is a summary of the State law which was implemented by the State of Delaware in 2014. She noted that this is already in place and adhered to in the City and, like the

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 9 Social Networking Policy, she thought it was the appropriate time to bring it forward with these additional changes. Staff recommended approval of the proposed amendments. Mr. Sudler, referring to Section 8 - Social Networking: Personal Online/Internet Content Policy, asked what tangible tool the City would use to measure achievement in regard to the required regulation. He asked if there was an example to provide employees of what is and is not acceptable, such as “Before I say anything, please note, for the record, that this is my own personal opinion and not the opinion of the City, although I am in a position with the City.” Responding, Mrs. Hawkins stated that she did not include any examples in Section 8, explaining that it would basically be self-reported or if someone happened to see someone else making inappropriate comments and representing themself as a City of Dover employee, and not clearly identifying that their comments are their own personal opinions, they would need to report it so it could be investigated. Mr. Sudler expressed concern that people having leeway to interpret the policy could lead to possible litigation and suggested the inclusion of a clear and precise example to which everyone could refer. Mr. Slavin stated that he would caution against using examples because then the examples become the only thing that things are measured against; however, he noted that it was Mrs. Hawkins decision as the Human Resources Director. Mr. Anderson thanked Mrs. Hawkins, noting that he thought she had done a superb job with the proposed amendments. He stated that he did not think the amendments went too far on one side or the other, but seemed to bring clarity in modern times, without infringing upon people’s daily lives. Mr. Anderson noted that he had one concern with the word “morale” in subparagraph 3 of the proposed new Section 8. Social Networking: Personal Online/Internet Content Policy. He explained that he thought that “morale” should be removed from the sentence “Could be reasonably interpreted as having an adverse effect upon City morale, discipline, and operation of the agency, safety of staff or perception of the public” because any supervisor could interpret morale any way they want, including constructive criticism or venting on something important. Mr. Anderson noted that a lot of times problems are found early because someone says something that happened in their daily lives; however, people could be afraid to say anything if it’s interpreted that broadly. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend that the proposed new Section 8. Social Networking: Personal Online/Internet Content Policy, subparagraph 3, be amended to strike the word “morale.” The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil. Mr. Neil stated that he thought that morale is subjective and was not sure how it would be interpreted. He noted that he agreed with the rest of the amendments and thought that staff did a marvelous job. The motion to recommend that the proposed new Section 8. Social Networking: Personal Online/Internet Content Policy, subparagraph 3, be amended to strike the word “morale” was carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes (Anderson, Sudler, Neil, Cole, Lindell, Stewart, and Shevock), two (2) no (Polce, and Slavin), and two (2) absent (Lewis, and Hare).

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 10 Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of the amendments to the Employee Handbook - City of Dover Personnel Policy, as amended, and with the notation and suggestions from Mr. Sudler. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Proposed Amendments to Appendix B - Zoning Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the following three (3) proposed amendments to Appendix B - Zoning of the Dover Code were part of an ongoing effort to address issues as staff works its way through the zoning ordinance and the day-to-day application process. He explained that these text amendments would ultimately be part of one (1) ordinance amendment to make it more efficient in terms of recording the changes. Text Amendment: Creation of IPM3 Zone (Industrial Park Manufacturing - Industrial Aviation and Aeronautics Center)(MI-18-05) Amending Article 3 - District Regulations, (New) Section 20B - Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone - Industrial Aviation and Aeronautics Center (IPM3) and Section 24 - Planned Neighborhood Design Option [(PND)]; Article 4 - Zoning Bulk and Parking Regulations, Section 4.16 - M, IPM Zones; Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations, Section 8 - Performance Standards; and Article 12 - Definitions Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the background regarding the text amendments related to the creation of a new IPM3 Zone (Industrial Park Manufacturing - Industrial Aviation and Aeronautics Center), which is intended primarily to permit businesses in aviation and aeronautics-related industries. The proposed text amendments would also create bulk standards for the new zone and make minor changes to the performance standards to ensure uses in the IPM3 zone are covered under them. Staff recommended adoption of the proposed amendments. Mr. Slavin stated that the date for the public hearing and final action was noted as August 13, 2018; however, it would take place during the Regular Council Meeting on August 27, 2018. Mr. Neil moved to recommend adoption of the proposed amendments, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Text Amendment: Replacement of Maximum Parking Requirement (MI-18-06) Amending Article 4 - Zoning Bulk and Parking Regulations, Section 4.15 - [C-3, C-4, R-C, IO, and CPO Zones.] and Section 4.16 - M, IPM Zones; and Article 6 - Off-Street Parking, Driveways and Loading Facilities, Section 3 - Required Off-Street Parking Spaces Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the background regarding the text amendments related to removing the maximum parking requirement. The proposed text amendments would remove the maximum parking space limitation given in Article 6 of the Zoning Ordinance, and replace it with new maximum lot coverage limitations for several zones where excessive parking lot size is of particular concern, including the C-3, C-4, RC, IPM, IPM-2, and M Zones, which would limit the amount of impervious surface on the property. Mr. Hugg advised members that these proposed amendments had been discussed with the development community and they like it because it gives them the flexibility to work with a broader standard. Staff recommended adoption of the proposed amendments.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 11 Mr. Slavin stated that the date for the public hearing and final action was noted as August 13, 2018; however, it would take place during the Regular Council Meeting on August 27, 2018. Mr. Neil moved to recommend adoption of the proposed amendments, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Text Amendment: Vehicle Signs (MI-18-07) Amending Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations, Section 4 - Supplementary Sign Regulations Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the background regarding the text amendments related to vehicle signs. The proposed text amendment would give the city planner guidance on whether or not a vehicle sign is permitted. Under current Code, vehicle signs are always permitted except where the vehicle is inoperable or being used for the sole purpose of signage and the proposed amendments provide a list of criteria which the city planner may use to determine if a vehicle is being used for the sole purpose of signage. Staff recommended adoption of the proposed amendments. Mr. Slavin stated that the date for the public hearing and final action was noted as August 13, 2018; however, it would take place during the Regular Council Meeting on August 27, 2018. Mr. Sudler asked if there is a time frame that a vehicle can be parked or a time tracking system. Responding, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, explained that staff looked at some examples and line 529 of the proposed text amendments provides a series of criteria, which includes references to time, for example, what is happening with the vehicle during normal business hours, and whether it is regularly parked there. She advised that it does not include a specific number of days or time frame because the series of criteria are what the city planner would look to, to make a decision about whether or not it's being solely used as a sign, and not having other functions such as delivery, etc. Mr. Sudler suggested that a time track would add clarity. Mr. Anderson expressed concern regarding these text amendments, explaining that the 2012 amendments had addressed complaints from businesses regarding the City’s sign regulations. He advised members that one of the intentions of the 2012 amendments to the sign ordinance was to ensure that people could promote their businesses by allowing them to park vehicles where they can be seen, when the vehicles are legitimately used for business deliveries and sales crew. Mr. Anderson noted that it is not okay to put a sign on vehicle that is up on blocks, unregistered, or inoperable, because then it is not legitimately being used for the business. He expressed concern that these amendments may, inadvertently, be reversing the previous amendments, noting that a lot of businesses, particularly small businesses, had benefitted from not having to worry about where to park their vehicles when they are trying to operate their businesses. Mr. Anderson expressed concern that the proposed amendments did not specify how many of the criteria are to be used, which could be confusing. He stated that he was particularly concerned with lines 539-541 of the proposed text amendments, noting that he thought that any vehicle that is wrapped would meet this criteria. Mr. Anderson asked Mr. Hugg to explain the criteria and where a wrapped vehicle would fit it.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 12 Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated that he could go back and look at what happened in 2012 and why the particular language was stricken. He explained that the intent of the proposed text amendments was not to prohibit someone who has a legitimate business use of a vehicle with a sign on it from parking in front of their business or legally parking anywhere. Mr. Hugg indicated that the intent is to address vehicles that are used solely for signage, explaining that there are several businesses in the area which are currently using vehicles for permanent directional signage. He advised that part of the problem is that many business owners do not have the luxury of being able to park a vehicle in front of their business, so they have to go through a very rigorous process to get business signs, while their neighbor can essentially beat the system because they are able to park a vehicle out by the road. Mr. Hugg stated that staff has tried to introduce judgment back into the ordinance in regard to when a vehicle is clearly being used for signage and when it’s being used for business purposes. Mr. Anderson stated that he had definite concerns regarding lines 539-541 of the proposed text amendments, especially when combined with lines 536-538, which state that “...it is not necessary that any one of or all the listed criteria be present to determine that the vehicle is inoperable or being used for the sole purpose of displaying signage.” He asked for an explanation to alleviate his concerns. Mr. Sudler noted that a great example of a stationary vehicle used to promote a business was the large vehicle at Mission BBQ, which is rarely moved and he had observed parked on the grass several times and reported. He expressed concern that when staff begins implementing these changes, other agencies may begin to scrutinize how strict staff’s enforcement with Mission BBQ has been. Mr. Sudler cautioned staff to make sure that the ordinance is enforced across the board. Responding, Mr. Hugg noted that a local Mexican restaurant has a large truck that is used as a sign and never moves, whereas Mission BBQ’s vehicle is at least a type of utility vehicle. He explained that staff can issue a citation for a violation for vehicles that are parked on the grass, regardless of signage. Mr. Hugg explained that currently there were more than eight (8) businesses that he was aware of that were using vehicles for signage and there is not a good mechanism for staff to make an argument that they are being used solely for signage, unless the vehicle is clearly inoperable. Mr. Sudler noted that he had seen the Mission BBQ vehicle move and knew that they used it because he had seen it smoking. Likewise, he stated that the Mexican restaurant uses their vehicle for catering and is sometimes parked around the back of the business. Mr. Sudler explained that the bottom line was that the City needed to develop a concrete example to use across the board, so that individuals won’t feel like they’re targeted or unfairly treated. In response to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg advised that Kent County Tourism’s vehicle called “The Villager” falls into a grey area. He explained that if it’s routinely moved or used for some ongoing business purpose and not simply parked and left in the same position, it would be allowable under these changes, however, it is one that could arguably be considered a vehicle sign. Mr. Shevock asked how it would be handled if Mission BBQ were to somehow lift their vehicle on top of their building. Responding, Mr. Hugg advised that this would not fall under these provisions because it would be considered a sign at that point, which may or may not be permitted under the City’s sign ordinance. He explained that there are provisions regarding the size of signs, how they can be placed, the number that can be on a building, etc. Mr. Hugg stated that he did not think that the City

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 13 would want to start allowing businesses to place vehicles on top of buildings, which would create problems like he had seen in other parts of the country. Mr. Anderson reiterated his concerns regarding the proposed text amendments, noting that he believes business is good and being able to promote a business is a good thing. He indicated that he thought that there were a number of areas of code enforcement that the City was behind on, however, he did not think this was an area that members needed to address to make the City better and more livable. Mr. Anderson stated that businesses being able to prosper is a social benefit to the City. He noted that part of the intent of the 2012 changes to the sign ordinance was that staff would not be able to enforce it, except in extreme circumstances, and he was happy to hear that the intent was being reached. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought that many business owners and churches in the City would have legitimate concerns with these proposed amendments. Mr. Sudler stated that he agreed with Mr. Anderson that the City is open for business; however, he explained that he did not think that the proposed amendments would take the City backward. Mr. Sudler stated that he is a firm believer in regulations and he thinks this is a good way to do it because a lot of the vehicles on the highway can obstruct the vision of someone turning, which could create a traffic issue. Mr. Neil noted that the ordinance was not being written in granite and, depending on the public reaction, members can always go back and revisit it again. Mr. Lindell echoed the sentiments of Mr. Sudler and Mr. Neil. He stated that he thought that there was an obvious issue which the Planning Department was trying to address. Mr. Lindell noted that Council still had time to review and make adjustments to these proposed amendments prior to adoption of the ordinance and, even if Council adopts them, changes can be made if issues and complaints arise. He explained that his is the process of governing, you see an issue, you try to deal with it, if other issues arise from that, you deal with them as they come. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend adoption of the proposed amendments, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried with Mr. Anderson voting no. Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:23 p.m. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE (All Members of All Committees) The Council Committee of the Whole met with Council President Slavin presiding. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 14 Update on 2019 Comprehensive Plan Project Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, and Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed a presentation entitled “City of Dover, Delaware, 2019 Comprehensive Plan, Project Update June 2018” (Attachment #3). Members were provided with a copy of the City of Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan Survey (Attachment #4) available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2YPJPV2 . In addition to the survey, members were asked to complete an evaluation of the implementation of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan using the charts entitled “Evaluation of 2008 Goals and Recommendations.” Mr. Sudler noted that there were constituents on Queen Street who were interested in the comprehensive development plan for that area. He noted that there is housing for the local institutions, including Wesley College or Delaware State University, etc., and the owners of property in the area around 101 North Queen Street asked him to look into the comprehensive objectives for that area. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that he would be glad to review this information with Mr. Sudler. Mr. Hugg noted that he had failed to mention that staff had identified five (5) target zones downtown in which major activities may take place, one (1) of which he is referring to as the new neighborhoods, which are basically located in the general area north and south of Division Street, where the City is working with the National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL), Habitat for Humanity, and Restoring Central Dover. He indicated that they would welcome the opportunity to share what they are thinking and to receive input from these property owners as well. Mr. Sudler stated that they really want to know what the City is planning so they can tailor their plans around that and know what is and isn’t permissible. He noted that he would contact Mr. Hugg to schedule a meeting. Mr. Polce noted that the data is critically important to this process. He expressed concern that the survey would be collecting non-identifiable data, since this would increase the probability for duplication of survey responses. Mr. Polce cautioned against dispersing the survey using Survey Monkey and in paper format because it would dilute the data and have an impact on what staff hopes to achieve. Referring to the survey questions, Mr. Polce noted that there were some inconsistencies with the way the questions were framed that could inherently have biases. He indicated that everyone must be mindful on how data influences their decisions as policy makers and stake holders, and encouraged them to take another look at what data they’re trying to collect, how they’re collecting it and how it’s going to shape the proposal. In response, Mr. Hugg explained that they were using the same survey that had been used in 2003 and 2008 to ascertain if there are any trends. He noted that he is not a great believer in open ended surveys but hopefully they will provide reaffirmation or indicate a change regarding the top ten issues. Mr. Anderson noted that many other municipalities similar in size to Dover bring in firms to help complete their comprehensive plans and asked if the City was doing it all in-house. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that the City had purchased the professional version of Survey Monkey, which provided a lot of opportunities and had some assistance from Strongpoint Marketing; however, the majority of the work was being done in-house. He explained that the City already has a good plan, so they can take the time to refine it, instead of reinventing the wheel. Mr. Hugg indicated that the five (5) staff members in the Planning Department ought to know enough about the community or people who they can ask about the community to complete the project in-house, so paying someone from outside the City would not be the right way to go.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2018 PAGE 15 Mr. Anderson suggested, from a marketing point of view, that the City may want to consider moving away from using the word “target” and instead using a term like dream or dreaming zones. He noted that this was one of the more frequent statements he had heard in the neighborhoods. Mr. Hugg expressed his thanks to the staff involved in the Comprehensive Plan project, noting that they are a great group. Mr. Slavin reminded all Council and civilian Committee members of the mandatory ethics training being held on June 26, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:59 p.m. Timothy A.

Economic Development Dover’s economy is increasingly healthy and expanding as new businesses chose Dover as their home. Health care and retail services are leading Dover’s recovery from the economic downturn of a few years ago. However, many goods and services are supplied by business outside our area, draining dollars and jobs away from Dover and Kent County. Please share your opinions on the following topics: Please rate the following statements using the scale below, circling only one number for each answer: Strongly Agree Agree No Opinion Disagree Strongly Disagree 1 2 3 4 5 1. The City should be directly involved in retention and recruitment of businesses by dedicating staff and resources to economic development, promotion and marketing of the City, and participation in closely aligned organizations such as the Kent Economic Partnership, the Central Dover Chamber of Commerce, Greater Kent Committee, and the State. 1 2 3 4 5 2. The City should work with Dover’s institutions of higher education (Delaware State University, Wesley College, Wilmington University and Delaware Technical & Community College) to promote the City as a center for higher education and encourage greater involvement of college students in the local economy. 1 2 3 4 5 3. Dover should prioritize the creation of more skilled labor and trade jobs to improve our economy and provide opportunities for our youth. 1 2 3 4 5 4. The City should strengthen the Downtown by investing in key public facilities, such as a parking garage, new City Hall, and improvements to the Downtown streetscape. 1 2 3 4 5 5. Dover should actively promote tourism, the arts, recreation, cultural resources, natural resources, and entertainment as key components of maintaining a high quality of life. 1 2 3 4 5 6. Several studies have proposed a major mixed-use redevelopment of the western end of Loockerman Street and the Forest Street gateway into the City. The City should implement these studies because the area is currently long-neglected and in need of revitalization. 1 2 3 4 5 Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan: Summer 2018 Survey Page 2 of 13

Downtown Dover Downtown Dover is the historic heart of the City. The Restoring Central Dover Plan was completed in 2014, setting forth a vision and program for revitalization. Since then the City, the Downtown Dover Partnership, NCALL, Habitat for Humanity and other public and private investors have made significant improvements to the area, including the construction of 22 new homes and acquisition of 10 lots to build more as well as providing numerous redevelopment incentives to businesses. This planning initiative was critical to the state’s designation of Dover’s Downtown Development District. How do you feel about the continued revitalization of Downtown Dover? 1. I support the continuation of City policies that encourage Downtown revitalization (circle one). Yes No No Opinion 2.

Traffic and Transit Dover has several major roads passing through the City, including Route 13 (DuPont Highway), Route 8 (Forrest Avenue and Division Street) and Route 15 (McKee Road, Saulsbury Road, and Hazletteville Road). These roads are used by thousands of cars each day, as well as by local buses operated by DART. The City works extensively with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) planning for future road improvements on these roads. Dover also has over 100 miles of local streets maintained exclusively by the City. Please share your opinions below on the following topics related to road and transit improvements: 1. Please let us know how much you agree with the following statements. Circle only one number for each statement.

Utilities and Services Public utilities and Infrastructure include electricity, water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater management, while Community Services and Facilities include police, fire & ambulance, parks & recreation, the library, disaster preparedness, health, and education. The City faces several challenges in its provision of utilities and services. Responsibility for some public utilities is shared with Kent County, and many community services, like schools and healthcare facilities, are run by the State or private entities. In addition, some services have been provided by the City for decades or even centuries, leading to aging infrastructure that is expensive to replace. Finally, new commercial and residential developments put additional pressure on this already aging infrastructure. The City seeks to keep pace with demand and meet the needs of our residents and businesses. Please share your opinion on how the City can improve the quality of its services: 1) One of the main goals set out by the City of Dover in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan was to provide a new library facility to meet the demands of our growing local community. In 2011, the new library building was finished on Loockerman Plaza. This new facility has proved successful at meeting the demands placed on it for media, meeting space, study areas, technology access, and other library functions (circle one).

Parks and Recreation The City has committed to comprehensively studying park and recreation issues in Dover. The first step was taken with the 2015 Recreation Needs Assessment, which identified needed improvements in several city parks, including trails, skate parks, park shelters, and other amenities. To follow up the City began developing Master Plans for the City’s largest parks, including the 2017 Schutte Park Master Plan and the ongoing Dover Park Master Plan. These plans will give more detail on how needed improvements should be designed and when they should be built. One issue that has not been studied in depth is how to fund these improvements and pay for ongoing park maintenance. Please share your opinions below on the following issues related to parks: 1. What are the most important parks and recreation issues to you? Please rank the following 1-6 with the number 1 being the most important to you. Use each number only one time. Issue Rank Building walking and bicycle trails Providing passive parks and natural areas Programming active parks and ball fields Maintaining playgrounds for children Building more indoor recreation space Maintaining interpretive or historical sites 2. Which do you think is a better way to help make sure there are enough parks and recreation opportunities for both current and new residents? Check one: □ Charge developers an impact fee for new residential development, with the revenue going towards improvements to existing public parks such as Schutte Park, Silver Lake Park, and Dover Park □ Require developers to build private playgrounds, trails, and other amenities for new residential development, and form HOAs (homeowners’ associations) or other organizations to maintain them 3. The City is currently doing a good job maintaining its public parks. Playground equipment, park shelters, and other amenities are in good repair. Trees, grass, and other plants are trimmed so the parks do not look unkempt (circle one). Agree Disagree No Opinion Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan: Summer 2018 Survey Page 7 of 13

Natural Environment Dover benefits from many natural resources in and near the City, including Silver Lake, the St. Jones River and its tributaries, the Fork Branch Nature Preserve, and the Delaware Bay. Natural resources like trees and water have many beneficial effects, including reducing noise pollution, reducing the urban “heat island effect” by giving shade and cooling the air, and allowing for recreational opportunities. However, natural resources usually need to be protected to make sure they continue to thrive.

Land Use, Growth and Annexation The City’s services and utilities have been impacted by urban growth and increased population, even when it has occurred outside of the current City limits. The City can expand its limits to add newly developing properties on the periphery to its tax base, but this also increases the area for which the City is responsible for services. New growth frequently occurs inside the city instead, and while this does not increase the City’s service area it can more strongly impact existing neighborhoods. One way or another, Dover welcomes more people every year, and the City needs to be prepared for them. Please share your opinions below on the topics of land use, growth, and annexation in Dover. 1. Since 2008 the rate of growth and development in Dover has been (circle one): Too fast Too slow Just right No Opinion 2.

Dover Air Force Base and the Civil Air Terminal Dover Air Force Base is a significant part of the Dover community and a critical piece of our nation’s military infrastructure. The Base employs over 6000 civilian and military personnel and is the east coast’s largest air cargo port. The base runways also support a small civilian airport on Horsepond Road known as the Civil Air Terminal. The City has long had the policy of supporting the Base’s mission by restricting residential and other land uses where they are incompatible with flight operations. Please share your opinions below on the following topics regarding the City’s coordination with the Dover Air Force Base: 1. The City of Dover should actively seek to retain the base within the city by enacting policies that support its mission. The City should oppose any efforts or activities that may result in a future base closure (circle one). Agree Disagree No Opinion 2. The City of Dover should continue the policy of restricting certain types of land uses where they are incompatible with the mission of the base. This includes temporary activities such as special events which draw large crowds (circle one). Agree Disagree No Opinion 3.

Part of this project is to build affordable housing for “First Time Home Buyers”. With this being a new project, the organization has closed on two homes this past year and is nearing the end of construction on others. The organization recently purchased these nine (9) properties to really make an impact on the community.

She also told the board that her organization is working closely with CDHFH, revitalizing Downtown Dover. 2

Chairman Garfinkel asked if the organization was holding the mortgages for the properties they sold, at which time Ms. Kelleher told him, that they do not. Chairman Garfinkel asked the Assessor what the City’s recommendations are, at which time Mrs. Bundek replied that the organization meets all criteria to be exempt and has been approved for exemptions in the past.

Location Exempt Request 1757 Horsepond Road $76,600 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS This property was originally owned by Kent County Prevention Cruelty Animals; sold to a private owner in 2012. It was tax exempt until the July 2012 billing. It has been purchased by Brandywine Valley SPCA Inc. in May 2018. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Laura Page, Community Engagement Manager for the organization was present for the hearing. She started the hearing by going over the history of the organization, which has been around for almost 90 years, operation in Pennsylvania. The organization is currently providing pet care for at risk families in Pennsylvania as well as the whole state of Delaware. Ms. Page explained that there currently is a charge for boarding if an animal is retained by the organization which is the reason they purchased this property, so pets may be held there until their owners can pick them up. The organization has received a grant in the amount of $300,000 to help with renovations. The organization also helps families who struggle to feed their pets with free pet food, pet items such as cat litter as well as free vet care. 3

Ms. Page told the board that the organization recently had a free vaccination clinic on The Green in Dover, because they did not have a facility in the area, at which time, approximately 1,600 pets where vaccinated. The organization also offers free or low-cost spay and neuter services to low income families. Chairman Garfinkle asked the Assessor what the City’s position is, she replied that the city has no position other than that this property had been exempt in the past.

Dover Church of Christ Location Exempt Request 1156 S Governors Ave. $163,600 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office. No information was provided during the 2017 Exempt Audit. Pilgrim Holiness Church did not respond to our requests. This property was Exempt prior to the audit. When the bills were sent out this year, we were notified that this should in fact be under Church of Christ. Kent County Assessment did some research and informed us that they made the name change to Dover Church of Christ. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. No one was present for the hearing. Therefore, the board waited a while to discuss the exempt request. After it was apparent that nobody from the organization would show, the board proceeded to discuss the request. The Assessor went over the background and analysis. Mr. Stonesifer asked if the property was exempt with Kent County, Mrs. Bundek told him that it was. 4

Chairman Garfinkel asked if notification had been mailed to the church. Mrs. Bundek explained that a notification letter had been mailed via Certified Mail – Return Receipt Requested but had not been signed for. She told the board that the letter was returned to the office. She also mentioned that an email was sent to the minister of the church informing him of the date and time of the meeting. Chairman Garfinkel pointed out that there seems to be a pattern, because nobody responded to the letters mailed during the 2016 Exempt Audit. Mrs. Bundek explained that the owner of record at that time was Pilgrim Holiness Church and that the minister told her during a visit to the office, that he did not open those letters because they were not addressed to him. Mr. Burns asked if the property had been exempted in the past, which it had been up until the 2016 Audit. Mr. Stonesifer asked if the taxes had been paid. Mrs. Bundek told him that they are not paid yet, because the church is waiting for the outcome of the hearing. Chairman Garfinkel suggested to deny the exempt request, because nobody from the church was present for the hearing. He suggested to wait for the church to appeal to Council. Mr. Stonesifer disagreed, he felt the board had information to discuss and should make a ruling on this. The Deputy City Solicitor pointed out that the property should be exempt, because it falls within the Delaware Code. Mr. Burns made the motion that the exemption should be continues, Mr. Galvin seconded the motion. Motion passed 3-1. The Salvation Army Location Exempt Request 1278 Forrest Avenue $1,462,700 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office. The Salvation Army purchased this property in January 2015. They have paid taxes on this property since they’ve owned it. This property is exempt with Kent County. 5

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. No one was present for the hearing. Therefore, the board waited a while to discuss the exempt request. After it was apparent that nobody from the organization would show, the board proceeded to discuss the request. The Assessor went over the background and analysis. Mr. Stonesifer asked for Mr. Peppers opinion, who told the board that in his opinion the property should be exempt. Mr. Stonesifer made the motion to accept the exempt request which was seconded by Mr. Burns. Motion carried 4-0. Wilmington University Location Exempt Request 3282 N DuPont Hwy. $12,237,700 3282 N DuPont Hwy. (Rear) $ 6,247,700 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS It was requested by some members of Council to verify the exemption status. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Present were: Bill Manning, Attorney Heather O’Connell, Vice President and CFO Christian Trowbridge, General Council Andy Lugan, responsible for everything Real Estate Mr. Manning told the City that the University had been exempt from taxes since 2006. He mentioned that in 2016 the University received paperwork from the City of Dover regarding an exempt audit. The paperwork was filled out and returned as requested by the City. 6

Mr. Manning was wondering if it was something in the questionnaire, which prompted the board to request a hearing with the University. Chairman Garfinkel asked if any of the buildings on the campus were not used for educational purposes. Mr. Manning explained that there are three (3) buildings on the property, one of those buildings is used for storage and that the other two are used for classes. He also mentioned that the University does rent some rooms to other non-profit organizations for educational purposes only. He offered to provide information regarding the organizations who rented, when and how much they paid in rental fees. Chairman Garfinkel asked if the Assessor had any questions, she had none. Mr. Pepper, Esq. was asked if he had any comments, at which time he told the board that the University is clearly entitled to the exemption. Mr. Stonesifer made the motion no action be taken, which was seconded by Mr. Galvin. Motion carried 4-0. Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a certified letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed. Calvary Baptist Church of Dover Location Exempt Request 2285 Forrest Ave. $1,881,800 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS It was requested by some members of Council to verify the exemption status. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Leon Battle, Chairman of the Trustee Board, was present. Chairman Garfinkel asked what the property was used for. Mr. Battle told the board that the congregation bought this piece of land to build a new church. 7

Mr. Burns asked if construction would begin soon? Mr. Battle explained that construction would not start for a couple more years, because the church is still raising money. Chairman Garfinkel asked if the church was renting the property to a farmer for farming. Mr. Battle told the board that the land has been rented to the farmer they purchased it from until last year. Mr. Burns wanted to know if the congregation currently owns a church. Mr. Battle told him that their current church is located on Queen Street. Mr. Burns was questioning why a small church would buy a 76-acre lot to build a church they have no money for? Mr. Galvin pointed out that this piece of land is zoned R10. Mr. Battle told the board that the church did attempt to start building on the lot approximately ten (10) years ago but could not start because the loan did not go through. Mr. Galvin went over the permits listed on the property record card, verifying that an attempt had been made. Mr. Burns asked the city solicitor about his opinion. Mr. Pepper, Esq. explained that the property is currently not held by way of investment. He pointed out that the cost for a $4,000,000 church would be quite substantial. Chairman Garfinkel asked Mr. Pepper Esq. if the property should be exempt if the church is not using it for income property. In Chairman Garfinkel’s opinion the church should keep record of when the land is farmed by the farmer and how much was paid in rental fees. Mr. Pepper Esq. told the board that the property cannot be used for profit, but the income from the farming could be used to help maintain the land, because the property is located within the City of Dover city limits and would be subject to the City’s maintenance code and would be required to be cut up to 4-5 times a year, which could be quite substantial for a lot that size. Mr. Burns asked Mr. Pepper Esq., if the property was not held by way of investment and is owned by a church it should be exempt. Mr. Pepper replied with a yes. Mr. Burns asked Mr. Battle if it was the intent of the church to raise money to build a new church, he also pointed out the that the congregation has 2 pieces of collateral one being the vacant land the other one the Church on Queen Street. Mr. Battle told the board that they are still in the process of raising money. Mr. Burns made the motion to continue the exemption which was seconded by Mr. Stonesifer. 8

Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a certified letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed. Delaware State University Location Exempt Request 1200 N DuPont Hwy (portion) $235,893,000 (portion) BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS It was requested by some members of Council to verify the exemption status. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Robert Shrove, Vice President and Denese Lindsey AVP for Finance Ms. Lindsey explained that the property in question is part of the University’s tillable land, which is used for overflow parking for some of the University’s major events such as graduations and football games. The lot is also used twice a year for race parking, plus tent sales for one of the car dealerships in the City of Dover. The money raised at these events is used for the University’s scholarship program. Mr. Pepper asked for Ms. Lindsey to elaborate on the acreage required for the tillable land. Ms. Lindsey did not have specific numbers with her but did let the Board know of other tillable pieces of land owned by the University. When asked by Mr. Pepper how long it has been since this piece of land has been tilled, Ms. Lindsey explained that it has been approximately 15 year and went on by explaining that the field is also used by the Field and Track team. Mr. Burns asked if the IRS from 990 would show how much income this property generated in 2017. Ms. Lindsey told him that it does. Mr. Burns asked if the School had any plans on developing this land. Ms. Lindsey told him that the school had thought about it a few years ago, but never did anything with it. Mr. Galvin asked if the decision not to build on this land was because the University was required to have so many acres of tillable land. Ms. Lindsey was not sure what the reason was. 9

Chairman Garfinkel asked if there is a requirement as to how many acres tillable land the school owns, Ms. Lindsay said that there was, but she did not know how many acres that would be. She offered to get that number to the board. Mr. Burns asked if only the net income of the proceeds from the lot are going to the Foundation and are they documented. Ms. Lindsey told the Board that these numbers are documented and offered to provide the documents to the board. Mr. Burns wanted to make sure that this property is used for the benefit of the students and not just used as income producing property. Mr. Galvin asked if there is a written agreement, Ms. Lindsey explained that this is a practice and a written procedure. Mr. Burns asked if the parking for Dover Downs and the tent sale for the car dealership were long term. Ms. Lindsey told the board that they are not and that in fact the revenue generated from the race parking has been going down substantially in the last few years. Mr. Burns made the motion to maintain the exemption which was seconded by Mr. Stonesifer. Motion carried 4-0. Chairman Garfinkel asked if a copy of the procedures could be emailed to the Assessor’s office. Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a certified letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed. The meeting was adjourned at 3:13 P.M. 10

No emission shall be permitted at any point, from any chimney or otherwise, of 331 visible grey smoke of a shade equal to or darker than No. 2 on the Power's Micro-Ringlemann 332 Chart, published by McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc., and copyrighted 1954 (being a direct 333 facsimile reduction of the standard Ringlemann chart as issued by the United States Bureau of 334 Mines), except that visible grey smoke of a shade equal to No. 2 on said chart may be emitted for 335 four minutes in any 30 minutes. These provisions applicable to visible grey smoke shall also apply 336 to visible smoke of a different color, but with an apparently equivalent opacity. Any emission shall 337 be in conformance with air pollution regulations of the Delaware Department of Natural 338 Resources and Environmental Control. 339 8.56 Odors. No emission shall be permitted of odorous gases or other offensive odorous matter 340 in such quantities as to be readily detectable when diluted in the ratio of one volume of odorous

Proposed Ordinance #2018-06 - Amending Appendix B - Zoning Page 12 341 air emitted to four volumes of clean air. Any process which may involve the creation or emission 342 of any offensive odors shall be provided with a secondary safeguard system, so that control will 343 be maintained if the primary safeguard system should fail. There is hereby established as a guide 344 in determining such quantities of offensive odors Table III, Odor Thresholds, in chapter 5, "Air 345 Pollution Abatement Manual," copyright 1951 by Manufacturing Chemists' Association, Inc., 346 Washington D.C., and said manual and/or table as subsequently amended. 347 8.57 Fly ash, dust, fumes, vapors, gases, and other forms of air pollution. No emission shall 348 be permitted which can cause any damage to health, to animals, vegetation, or other forms of 349 property, or which can cause any excessive soiling, at any point, and/or which does not conform 350 to air pollution regulations of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental 351 Control, and, in no event, any emission, from any chimney or otherwise, of any solid or liquid 352 particles in concentrations exceeding 0.3 grain per cu. ft. of the conveying gas resulting from 353 combustion. Standard corrections shall be applied to a stack temperature of 500 degrees 354 Fahrenheit and 50 percent excess air. 355 8.58 [ Glare. ] No direct or sky-reflected glare, whether from floodlights or from high- 356 temperature processes such as combustion or welding or otherwise, shall be permitted. This 357 restriction shall not apply to signs otherwise permitted by the provisions of this ordinance. 358 8.59 Liquid or solid wastes. No discharge shall be permitted at any point into any public sewer, 359 private sewage disposal system or stream, or into the ground, except in accord with standards 360 approved by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, of any 361 materials of such nature or temperature as can contaminate any water supply or otherwise cause 362 the emission of dangerous or offensive elements. 363 8.60 Traffic congestion. When, in the surrounding highway network, operating conditions are at 364 or near the design capacity level beyond which would result in functional failure of the 365 surrounding highway network. All speeds are reduced to a low, but relatively uniform value. 366 Freedom to maneuver within the traffic stream is extremely difficult, and it is generally 367 accomplished by forcing a vehicle or pedestrian to "give way" to accommodate such maneuvers. 368 Comfort and convenience levels are extremely poor, and driver or pedestrian frustration is 369 generally high. Operations at this level are usually unstable, because small increases in flow or 370 minor perturbations within the traffic stream will cause functional failures beyond acceptable 371 levels. (The conditions described in this [sub]section are also used to describe "level of service 372 E" as defined by the highway capacity manual developed by the transportation research board, 373 dated 1985.) 374 8.6 Performance standard procedure. 375 8.61 Application. An application for a site plan approval shall be accompanied with a 376 performance standard review application when a use or occupancy is required, and shall be 377 referred by the building inspector city planner to the planning commission. The applicant 378 shall also submit, in an amount equal to the required number of site plan submissions, a plan 379 of the proposed construction or development, including a description of the proposed 380 machinery, operations, and products, and specifications for the mechanisms and techniques to 381 be used in restricting the emission of dangerous and objectional elements referred to in article

Proposed Ordinance #2018-06 - Amending Appendix B - Zoning Page 13 382 5, section 8.1, in accordance with rules prescribed by the planning commission specifying the 383 type of information required in such plans and specifications, and an affidavit by the applicant 384 acknowledging his understanding of the applicable performance standards and agreement to 385 conform with same at all times. 386 No applicant will be required to reveal any secret processes, and any information submitted 387 will be treated as confidential if requested. The fee for such application shall include the cost 388 of the special reports required to process it, described below. 389 390 8.62 Report by expert consultants. The planning commission, if there is any reasonable 391 doubt as to the likelihood of conformance, shall refer the application for investigation and 392 report to one or more expert consultants qualified to advise as to whether a proposed use will 393 conform to the applicable performance standards specified herein. Such consultant or 394 consultants shall make such report within 30 days after his or their receipt of such application. 395 A copy of such report shall be promptly furnished to the applicant. 396 8.63 Decision of the planning commission. At the next regular meeting of the planning 397 commission, but in no event more than 30 days after the board has received the aforesaid 398 report, or within such further period as agreed to by the applicant, the board shall decide 399 whether the proposed use will conform to the applicable performance standards and, on such 400 basis, shall authorize or refuse to authorize the issuance of a building permit or certificate of 401 occupancy, or require a modification of the proposed plan of construction. Such decision of 402 the commission shall be in the form of a written report. Any building permit or certificate of 403 occupancy so authorized and issued shall be conditioned on, among other things: 404 (i) The applicant's completed buildings and installations in operation conforming to the 405 applicable performance standards, and 406 (ii) The applicant's paying the fees for services of the expert consultant or consultants 407 deemed reasonable and necessary by the planning commission for advice as to 408 whether or not the applicant's completed buildings and installations will, in operation, 409 conform to the applicable performance standards. 410 (Ord. of 4-25-1994; Ord. of 4-28-2008(2)) 411 BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED: 412 That Appendix B - Zoning, Article 6 - Off-street Parking, Driveways and Loading Facilities, Section 413 3 - Required Off-street Parking Spaces, be amended by striking Section 3.11 - Maximum Number of 414 Parking Spaces, as follows: 415 3.11 Maximum number of parking spaces. The maximum number of parking spaces shall not 416 exceed 25 percent over the number of parking spaces required by the code.

Proposed Ordinance #2018-06 - Amending Appendix B - Zoning Page 14 417 BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED: 418 That Appendix B - Zoning, Article 12 - Definitions, be amended by inserting the text indicated in bold, 419 blue font and deleting the text indicated in red strikeout for the definition of “Nonresidential zones”, 420 as follows: 421 Nonresidential zones: C-1, C-1A, C-2, C-2A, C-3, C-4, C-PO, RC, IO, M, IPM, IPM2, IPM3, SC-1, 422 SC-2, [or] SC-3 [zone]. 423 ADOPTED: * 424 SYNOPSIS 425 The proposed ordinance adds a new zoning classification, IPM3 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone- 426 Industrial Aviation and Aeronautics Center), which is intended primarily to permit businesses in 427 aviation and aeronautics-related industries. The ordinance also creates bulk standards for the new 428 zone and makes minor changes to the performance standards to ensure uses in the IPM-3 zone are 429 covered under them. 430 The proposed ordinance removes the maximum parking space limitation given in Article 6 of the 431 Zoning Ordinance, and replaces it with new maximum lot coverage limitations for several zones 432 where excessive parking lot size is of particular concern, including the C-3, C-4, RC, IPM, IPM-2, 433 and M Zones. This will limit the amount of impervious surface on the property. 434 The proposed ordinance would give the city planner guidance on whether or not a vehicle sign is 435 permitted. Under current code, vehicle signs are always permitted except where the vehicle is 436 inoperable or being used for the sole purpose of signage. The ordinance provides a list of criteria 437 which the city planner may use to determine if a vehicle is being used for the sole purpose of signage. 438 Actions History 439 06/25/2018 - Scheduled for First Reading - City Council 440 S:\ORDINANCES\2018\DRAFT\ORDINANCE #2018-06 APP B-ARTS 3, 4, 5, AND 6-AVIATION (IPM-3), PARKING, AND VEH SIGNS\ORDINANCE #2018-06 APP B-ARTS 3, 4, 5, 441 AND 6-AVIATION (IPM-3), PARKING, AND VEH SIGNS-1st Rdg.wpd

No land or building in any zone shall be used or occupied 131 in any manner so as to cause any one or more of the following conditions to exist and to be 132 dangerous, injurious, noxious or offensive beyond the boundaries of such premises in such a 133 manner or in such amount as to adversely affect the reasonable use of the surrounding area or 134 adjoining premises: Fire, explosive or other hazard; noise, or vibration; smoke, dust, odor or other 135 form of air pollution; heat, cold, dampness or electromagnetic disturbance; glare, liquid or solid 136 refuse or waste; traffic congestion causing roadways or intersections in the surrounding highway 137 network to fall below acceptable levels of comfort and convenience; or other substance, condition or 138 element (referred to hereinafter as "dangerous or objectionable elements"), provided that any use 139 permitted or not expressly prohibited by this ordinance may be undertaken and maintained if it 140 conforms to the regulations of this section limiting dangerous and objectionable elements at the point 141 of the determination of their existence. 142 8.2 Uses requiring performance standards review procedure. Those uses in the C-3, IPM, IPM2, IPM3 143 and M zones and uses accessory thereto, which are specified as being subject to performance 144 standards review procedure, are subject to the procedure specified in article 5, section 8.6 in 145 obtaining a site plan approval. The city planner may require other uses, whether existing or proposed 146 and regardless of the particular zoning district, to submit to the performance standards review 147 procedure when there exists reasonable grounds to believe that a proposed use is in violation, or is 148 likely to violate, the performance standards, in which event, the property owner shall comply with 149 [the] performance standards review procedure. 150 8.3 Enforcement provisions applicable to other uses. Even though compliance with the performance 151 standards procedure in obtaining a site plan approval is not required for some proposed uses, initial 152 and continuing compliance with the performance standards themselves is required of every use, and 153 provisions for enforcement to ensure continued compliance with the performance standards shall be 154 invoked by the city planner against the property owner, tenant, or other responsible party if there are 155 reasonable grounds to believe that performance standards are being violated by a particular activity 156 or use. 157 8.4 Nonconforming uses. Certain uses established before the effective date of this ordinance and 158 nonconforming as to performance standards shall be given a reasonable time in which to conform 159 therewith, as provided in article 7, section 1.53.

160 8.5 Performance standards regulations. Where the following regulations overlap regulations of the 161 Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control or other state or local 162 agencies, the more restrictive regulations shall apply in case of a conflict: 163 8.51 Fire and explosion hazards. All activities involving, and all storage of, inflammable and 164 explosive materials shall be provided at any point with adequate safety devices against the hazard of 165 fire and explosion and adequate firefighting and fire suppression equipment and devices standard in 166 the industry. Burning of waste materials in open fires is prohibited at any point. The relevant 167 provisions of the state and local laws and regulations shall also apply. 168 8.52 Radioactivity or electromagnetic disturbance. No activities shall be permitted which emit 169 dangerous radioactivity at any point, or electromagnetic disturbance adversely affecting the 170 operation at any point of any equipment other than that of the creator of such disturbance. 171 8.53 Noise. The maximum sound pressure level radiated by any use or facility (other than 172 transportation facilities open to the public) at the property line shall not exceed the values in the 173 designated octave bands given in [the following] table I, after applying the corrections shown in [the 174 following] table II. The sound pressure level shall be measured with a sound level meter and 175 associated octave band analyzer conforming to standards prescribed by the American Standards 176 Association (American Standard Sound Level Meters for Measurement of Noise and Other Sounds, 177 Z243-1944, American Standards Association, Inc., New York, N.Y., and American Standard 178 Specification for an Octave Band Filter Set for the Analysis of Noise and Other Sounds, Z24.10- 179 1953, American Standards Association, Inc., New York, N.Y., shall be used). 180 Table I Octave Band Sound Pressure Range In Level in Decibels Cycles re 0.0002 per Second dyne/cm 2 30— 300 60 301—2,400 40 Above 2,400 30 181 182 If the noise is not smooth and continuous and is not radiated between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 183 a.m., one or more of the corrections in table II shall be applied to the decibel levels given in table I. 184 Table II Type of Location of Operation Correction in or Character of Noise Decibels 1.

No emission shall be permitted at any point, from any chimney or otherwise, of visible 190 grey smoke of a shade equal to or darker than No. 2 on the Power's Micro-Ringlemann Chart, 191 published by McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc., and copyrighted 1954 (being a direct facsimile 192 reduction of the standard Ringlemann chart as issued by the United States Bureau of Mines), except 193 that visible grey smoke of a shade equal to No. 2 on said chart may be emitted for four minutes in 194 any 30 minutes. These provisions applicable to visible grey smoke shall also apply to visible smoke 195 of a different color, but with an apparently equivalent opacity. Any emission shall be in conformance 196 with air pollution regulations of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental 197 Control. 198 8.56 Odors. No emission shall be permitted of odorous gases or other offensive odorous matter in 199 such quantities as to be readily detectable when diluted in the ratio of one volume of odorous air 200 emitted to four volumes of clean air. Any process which may involve the creation or emission of any 201 offensive odors shall be provided with a secondary safeguard system, so that control will be 202 maintained if the primary safeguard system should fail. There is hereby established as a guide in 203 determining such quantities of offensive odors Table III, Odor Thresholds, in chapter 5, "Air Pollution 204 Abatement Manual," copyright 1951 by Manufacturing Chemists' Association, Inc., Washington D.C., 205 and said manual and/or table as subsequently amended.

206 8.57 Fly ash, dust, fumes, vapors, gases, and other forms of air pollution. No emission shall be 207 permitted which can cause any damage to health, to animals, vegetation, or other forms of property, 208 or which can cause any excessive soiling, at any point, and/or which does not conform to air 209 pollution regulations of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, 210 and, in no event, any emission, from any chimney or otherwise, of any solid or liquid particles in 211 concentrations exceeding 0.3 grain per cu. ft. of the conveying gas resulting from combustion. 212 Standard corrections shall be applied to a stack temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit and 50 213 percent excess air. 214 8.58 [ Glare. ] No direct or sky-reflected glare, whether from floodlights or from high-temperature 215 processes such as combustion or welding or otherwise, shall be permitted. This restriction shall not 216 apply to signs otherwise permitted by the provisions of this ordinance. 217 8.59 Liquid or solid wastes. No discharge shall be permitted at any point into any public sewer, 218 private sewage disposal system or stream, or into the ground, except in accord with standards 219 approved by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, of any 220 materials of such nature or temperature as can contaminate any water supply or otherwise cause the 221 emission of dangerous or offensive elements. 222 8.60 Traffic congestion. When, in the surrounding highway network, operating conditions are at or 223 near the design capacity level beyond which would result in functional failure of the surrounding 224 highway network. All speeds are reduced to a low, but relatively uniform value. Freedom to 225 maneuver within the traffic stream is extremely difficult, and it is generally accomplished by forcing a 226 vehicle or pedestrian to "give way" to accommodate such maneuvers. Comfort and convenience 227 levels are extremely poor, and driver or pedestrian frustration is generally high. Operations at this 228 level are usually unstable, because small increases in flow or minor perturbations within the traffic 229 stream will cause functional failures beyond acceptable levels. (The conditions described in this 230 [sub]section are also used to describe "level of service E" as defined by the highway capacity 231 manual developed by the transportation research board, dated 1985.) 232 8.6 Performance standard procedure. 233 8.61 Application. An application for a site plan approval shall be accompanied with a performance 234 standard review application when a use or occupancy is required, and shall be referred by the 235 building inspector city planner to the planning commission. The applicant shall also submit, in an 236 amount equal to the required number of site plan submissions, a plan of the proposed construction 237 or development, including a description of the proposed machinery, operations, and products, and 238 specifications for the mechanisms and techniques to be used in restricting the emission of 239 dangerous and objectional elements referred to in article 5, section 8.1, in accordance with rules 240 prescribed by the planning commission specifying the type of information required in such plans and 241 specifications, and an affidavit by the applicant acknowledging his understanding of the applicable 242 performance standards and agreement to conform with same at all times. 243 No applicant will be required to reveal any secret processes, and any information submitted will be 244 treated as confidential if requested. The fee for such application shall include the cost of the special 245 reports required to process it, described below. 246 8.62 Report by expert consultants. The planning commission, if there is any reasonable doubt as to 247 the likelihood of conformance, shall refer the application for investigation and report to one or more 248 expert consultants qualified to advise as to whether a proposed use will conform to the applicable 249 performance standards specified herein.

Areas which may be computed as open or enclosed off-street 26 parking spaces include any private garage, carport, or other area available for parking, other than a 27 street or driveway. However, a driveway within a required front yard for a one-family or two-family 28 residence may count as one parking space, other than a corner lot as provided in article 5, section 1.3.

29 3.3 Location and ownership of required accessory parking facilities. Required accessory parking spaces, 30 open or enclosed, may be provided upon the same lot as the use to which they are accessory, or 31 elsewhere, provided all spaces therein are located within 150 feet walking distance of such lot. In all 32 cases, such parking spaces shall conform to the regulations of the district in which they are accessory 33 and shall be subject to deed restriction, filed with the city clerk, binding the owner and his heirs and 34 assigns to maintain the required number of spaces available either: 35 (a) Throughout the existence of such use to which they are accessory; or 36 (b) Until such spaces are provided elsewhere. 37 3.4 Size of spaces. The minimum parking space dimensions shall be at least nine (9) feet in width and 38 at least 18 feet in length. Disabled accessible spaces shall meet ADA requirements. 39 3.5 Access. Unobstructed access to and from a street shall be provided. Each drive lane shall have at 40 least ten feet of width so that one-way drives have at least ten feet of width and that two-directional 41 drives have two lanes of ten feet each. Unless otherwise specified within this section, access shall be 42 provided by at least one two-directional drive lane or two one-directional drive lanes. 43 3.6 Drainage and surfacing. 44 (a) All open permanent parking areas and access drives shall be properly drained and all such areas 45 shall be provided with paved asphalt, concrete or other hard, paved, dust-free surface. 46 (b) All permanent parking areas shall be enclosed with upright concrete curbing at least six inches 47 in height. The city planner may relax this requirement for a portion of a parking area when there 48 is a demonstrated need to convey stormwater to a proposed or approved stormwater 49 management area. Curbing shall not be required for loading areas, handicapped access and for 50 parking spaces accessory to a one-family or two-family residence (see also article 6, section 5.3). 51 3.7 Joint facilities. Required parking spaces, open or enclosed, may be provided in spaces designed to 52 serve, jointly, two or more establishments, whether or not located on the same lot, provided that the 53 number of required spaces in such joint facilities shall be not less than the total required for all such 54 establishments. 55 3.8 Combined spaces. When any lot contains two or more uses having different parking requirements, 56 the parking requirements for each use shall apply to the extent of that use. Where it can be conclusively 57 demonstrated that one or more such uses will be generating a demand for parking spaces primarily 58 during periods when the other use or uses is not or are not in operation, the planning commission may 59 reduce the total parking spaces required for that use with the least requirement. 60 (a) Campus Parking Plan. When a new building or building addition is made to a campus involving 61 multiple buildings under common ownership where one or more of the uses will be generating 62 demand for parking when the other use or uses are not in operation, the applicant shall present 63 a campus parking plan as a part of the site development plan that includes an analysis of the 64 parking needs based on the provisions of section 3.8 of this article. 65 3.9 Adjustments to parking requirements. The planning commission or city planner, according to the type 66 of plan review required by appendix B, zoning, article 10, planning commission, may reduce, in an 67 amount not to exceed 50 percent, the number of parking spaces required when, in the opinion of the 68 commission, it has been demonstrated that the use is adequately served by transportation and parking 69 alternatives, including but not limited to: 70 (a) Site plan proposals within the downtown redevelopment target area, as described in appendix C 71 of the Dover Code of Ordinances, may be granted a 20 percent reduction in the amount of off- 72 street parking normally required, due to the availability of mass transit, municipal parking and 73 existing pedestrian amenities. 74 (b) Designated off-street parking reserved for car pools, van pools, and bicycle parking facilities, in 75 accordance with the following schedule: 76 (1) Each carpool space shall be equivalent to three standard parking spaces.

77 (2) Each vanpool space shall be equivalent to five standard parking spaces. 78 (3) Every group of five bicycle parking spaces shall be equivalent to one standard parking 79 space. 80 (c) Employer participation in a traffic-mitigation plan approved by the Delaware Department of 81 Transportation. 82 (d) Cash-in-lieu of parking contributions toward the capital construction or improvement of municipal 83 parking facilities that are proposed. The cash-in-lieu of parking contribution shall be in a monetary 84 amount equivalent to the estimated cost of construction for the number of standard surface 85 parking spaces for which the reduction is sought. To take advantage of this option, the developer 86 shall submit to the city engineer a cost estimate for the parking requested to be waived. The city 87 engineer shall examine the estimate for accuracy in current prevailing costs of construction at the 88 time of proposal and shall report to the planning commission his/her findings. 89 (e) Proposals involving superior urban design which contribute to an enhanced pedestrian 90 environment and which include such features as pedestrian plazas and pocket-parks, pedestrian- 91 way connections with existing sidewalk systems and community facilities, park benches and other 92 street furniture, mass transit connections and shelters, and landscaping and shade tree plantings. 93 In all areas, except the downtown redevelopment target area, the planning commission or city planner, 94 according to the type of plan review required by appendix B, zoning, article 10, planning commission, may 95 require the development plans to have an area of open space designated where parking could be 96 constructed less than or equal to the number being reduced. In such cases the plan shall bear a note which 97 explains that the petitioner, in accepting a parking reduction, agrees to construct such additional parking as 98 is otherwise required under the provisions of this appendix, if the planning commission, after a hearing, 99 determines that the reasons for granting said reduction no longer exist. In all such instances where the 100 planning commission determines that the reasons for granting a reduction no longer exist, the owner of 101 record for the subject property for which a reduction was previously granted must construct the parking 102 required to meet the regulations of the city during the next construction season. 103 3.10 Bicycle parking. Bicycle parking shall be provided for parking spaces at a rate of one bicycle parking 104 space for every 20 parking spaces or a fraction thereof. The planning commission may waive the 105 requirement for the bicycle parking if it is demonstrated that bicycle parking would not be appropriate 106 for safety reasons or due to the nature of the use of the site. 107 3.11 Maximum number of parking spaces. The maximum number of parking spaces shall not 108 exceed 25 percent over the number of parking spaces required by the code. 109 (Ord. of 12-14-1992(2); Ord. of 4-25-1994; Ord. of 9-13-1999; Ord. of 4-23-2007(4) ; Ord.

No. 2017-12 , 10-9-2017) 112 113 SYNOPSIS: 114 The proposed ordinance removes the maximum parking space limitation given in Article 6 of the 115 Zoning Ordinance, and replaces it with new maximum lot coverage limitations for several zones 116 where excessive parking lot size is of particular concern, including the C-3, C-4, RC, IPM, IPM- 117 2, and M Zones. This will limit the amount of impervious surface on the property. 118 119

1 MI-18-07: Text Amendment: Vehicle Signs 2 6/7/2018- Version 1.1 3 4 Article 5, Section 4. - Supplementary sign regulations. 5 4.1 Purpose statement. The purpose of this section is to create a legal framework for a comprehensive 6 and balanced system of signs and other street graphics to facilitate an easy and pleasant 7 communication between people and their environment. The ordinance from which this section is 8 derived is enacted to avoid the visual clutter that is potentially harmful to vehicular and pedestrian 9 safety, property values, business environment and opportunities, and community appearance. With 10 these purposes in mind, it is the intent of this section to authorize the use of signs which are compatible 11 with their surroundings, appropriate to the activity that displays them, expressive of the identity of 12 individual activities and the community as a whole, and legible in the circumstances in which they are 13 seen, understanding that it is important for the economic vitality of the community as well as individual 14 businesses and institutions that they are clearly identified and their services are understood by the 15 traveling public. 16 All signs, which are regulated by this section, shall conform to the following general guidelines: 17 A. The legibility of signs. Signs shall be legible under the circumstances in which they are primarily 18 seen. Signs shall legibly convey their messages without being distracting or unsafe to motorists 19 reading them. The legibility of signs is related to the speeds at which they are viewed; the context 20 and surroundings in which they are seen; and the design, colors, and contrasts of the sign copy 21 and sign face. 22 B. The relationship of signs to the buildings and sites they identify. Signs shall be an integral 23 architectural element of the buildings and sites that they identify and their design shall be 24 consistent with, and not detract from, the overall architectural concept of the site. Signs should 25 be of an appropriate size and scale in relation to the buildings on the lot. 26 4.2 General provisions. 27 A. Permitting. No sign, advertising display or structure, poster or device shall be erected, moved, 28 enlarged or reconstructed except in accordance with this section. All signs, except exempt signs, 29 shall require a permit and fee as prescribed in Appendix F, Chapter 22—Buildings and Building 30 Regulations. 31 B. Administration. Administration, interpretation, and enforcement of the provisions of this section 32 shall be under the authority of the city planner or their authorized designee. In administering the 33 provisions of this section, the city planner shall evaluate signs and applications for sign permits 34 for conformity with the design guidelines, standards, and specifications contained herein. Appeals 35 from the application or interpretation of any provision of this section may be processed in 36 accordance with the provisions of article 9 (board of adjustment) of the zoning ordinance. 37 C. Unsafe, dilapidated and illegal signs. If it is determined by the city planner or his authorized 38 designee that any sign is unsafe, presents a hazard to the safe operation and movement of 39 motorized or nonmotorized vehicular traffic, or to pedestrians, or is in a dilapidated condition, or 40 is in a state of disrepair, or is otherwise in violation of any provision of this section, the owner of 41 such sign shall be responsible for removal of such sign and supporting structure within 14 days 42 of receipt of written notification by the city planner. In cases where signs are determined to be 43 unsafe or present a hazard, the city planner may order their removal in a shorter period of time. 44 Responsibility for removal shall be in accordance with subsection 4.10—Nonconforming signs, 45 B., and subsection 4.11—Abandoned and Damaged signs, of this section. 46 D. Setback. All signs, including those which do not require a permit, shall be setback from the right- 47 of-way in accordance with the provisions of Article 5, Section 4.7, unless otherwise specified, and 48 shall not interfere with aboveground or underground utilities. 49 E. Administrative waiver. For existing developed properties where placement of the sign in 50 accordance with the required setback would interfere with existing required parking, fire lane, or

51 other site improvements, the city planner shall have the authority to waive the setback 52 requirement. 53 4.3 Sign definitions. 54 Abandoned sign: A sign relating to or identifying a business or activity which has not been conducted 55 on the premises for 90 days, or seven days after an election or event that the sign is advertising. 56 Adjacent to residential: Property lines which are situated within 200 feet and which front on the same 57 street as a parcel, or group of parcels containing residential uses, or that are zoned for residential uses, 58 excluding residential uses and districts fronting on principal arterial roads. 59 Architectural feature: An exterior component of the architecture of a building, which has a structural, 60 functional or decorative purpose.

No. 2009-09, 6-22-2009; Ord. No. 2009-19, 10-12-2009; Ord. No. 358 2012-13, 8-13-2012; Ord. No. 2016-16 , 8-8-2016) 359 4.8 Unified Comprehensive Signage Plan. 360 A. Purpose statement. Recognizing that large campuses and complexes have signage needs that 361 may not be adequately addressed by traditional sign regulations, this subsection of the ordinance 362 is intended to allow a procedure for approval of a unified comprehensive signage plan for these 363 Unified Campuses and Complexes. 364 1. Campuses and complexes are required to follow all standard signage requirements, as 365 embodied elsewhere in this section, unless they choose to apply to the planning commission 366 for comprehensive signage plan approval. All such plans must embody a thorough review of 367 all existing signs.

368 2. Any proposed shopping center or group of three or more principal structures under common 369 management and operation located on one or more contiguous properties is required to 370 submit an application for comprehensive signage plan approval to the planning commission. 371 3. Any business or institution which has more than 400 linear feet of frontage on a principal 372 arterial may submit an application for comprehensive signage plan approval. 373 B. Design guidelines for unified comprehensive signage plans. 374 1. Unified campuses and complexes applying for a unified comprehensive signage plan may 375 not be held to the height, size, number and area regulations for signs found in other 376 subsections of this section. However, the number, type and size of signs proposed may not 377 be excessive, and must be in proportion to the scale of the buildings and the uses on the 378 site. 379 2. All unified comprehensive signage plans must comply with all design guidelines found in 380 subsection 4.4—Design requirements of this section, as well as all specific design guidelines 381 found in this section. 382 3. Building signs shall be in harmony with the overall architectural concept for the site, and be 383 compatible with each other and the building facades. 384 4. The freestanding signs identifying shopping centers and other unified campuses and 385 complexes shall identify the name of the campus or complex and no more than three 386 separate tenants within the campus or complex unless otherwise approved by the planning 387 commission. 388 5. There shall be architectural harmony and unity of signs within a unified campus or complex. 389 Sign type, color scheme, size, and illumination within the site shall be coordinated and shall 390 be compatible with the architecture of the center and the surrounding area. 391 C. Planning commission duties. In reviewing and approving comprehensive signage plans, the 392 planning commission shall take into consideration the public health, safety and welfare, the 393 comfort and convenience of the public in general and of the residents, businesses, and property 394 owners of the immediate neighborhood in particular, and shall ensure that unified campuses and 395 complexes have adequate, but not excessive, signage. Specifically, the following objectives shall 396 guide the commission when reviewing such plans: 397 1. That the size and complexity of the campus or complex warrants the need for extra signage 398 under the provisions of this section; 399 2. That, in respect to the number and type of entrances, the placement of signage at or near 400 those entrances provides superior visibility in order to ensure the safety of the driving public; 401 3. That the proposed signs are adequate in number to safely direct the public to the use or uses 402 on the site; 403 4. The proposed signs must not have an adverse impact on the visibility of adjacent signs, and 404 shall be consistent with, or an improvement over, the prevailing type and style of signage in 405 the general area; 406 5. That the proposed signs will be of a style and color which will complement the architecture 407 of the site, and the area in general. 408 D. Submission requirements. 409 1. A pre-application meeting is required. No application will be accepted without a pre- 410 application meeting. 411 2. Copies of a sign plan, which details the signage proposal, including relevant application 412 forms, will be due on the regularly scheduled submission deadline for planning commission 413 review. The sign plan shall illustrate the physical location of all existing and proposed signs 414 on the subject property and their relationship to existing and/or proposed buildings on the 415 site. The submission plan shall include color renderings of each proposed sign (drawn to

416 scale), along with architectural elevation drawings of the building depicting the placement of 417 all wall mounted signs existing and proposed. 418 3. Public notice is required, following the procedures set forth in article 10, section 2.43(C). 419 4. The application fee as provided for in Appendix F—Fees and Fines, is due at time of 420 application. 421 E. Amendments to approved comprehensive signage plans. Any new or revised signs to be placed 422 on a property with an approved comprehensive signage plan need not go back to the planning 423 commission for re-approval if the sign area is not increased more than 15 percent, and the 424 proposed signs conform to the overall design concept and colors as approved. The 15 percent 425 increase shall be calculated cumulatively over the life of the project, based upon the originally 426 approved sign area. 427 4.9 Supplementary sign provisions. 428 A. Window signs. 429 1. Three window signs shall be permitted as additional signage on walls fronting on the public 430 right-of-way. 431 2. Window signs shall not cover more than 50 percent of any window exclusive of window 432 and/or door frame. 433 3. Windows principally viewed from drive aisles and parking lots and not prominently visible 434 from the public right-of-way shall be exempt from restrictions on the number of signs, and 435 may be approved by the city planner for a window coverage area greater than 50 percent 436 when the business elects to have less window signage than permitted on the windows 437 fronting on, or prominently visible from, the public right-of-way. 438 4. Window signs shall be permitted on windows on the first floor of a building only. 439 5. The city planner may waive the provisions of this subsection when it has been demonstrated 440 that the proposed window signs are of a unique or superior quality and style, and are 441 intended to compliment the architectural design of the building, or when the business elects 442 to use less wall signs than permitted for the purpose of complimenting the architectural 443 design of the building. Signs granted this waiver are not exempt from the requirement to 444 obtain a sign permit. 445 B. Historic district signs. 446 1. All signs in the historic district must meet the standards laid out in the Design Standards and 447 Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone. Any and all standards found elsewhere 448 in this section may be waived as part of the architectural review approval when proposed 449 signs are determined to contribute to or improve the historic context of the building. 450 C. Gas station signage. 451 1. Canopy signs. 452 (a) Canopy sign height shall not exceed 30 feet. 453 (b) Canopy sign copy shall be directed toward a public street. 454 (c) Canopy sign area shall be limited to no greater than 20 percent of the area of the 455 canopy face to which the sign is applied. 456 2. Exempt signs. 457 (a) State or federal required price per gallon signage shall not count towards overall sign 458 area for the site, unless they exceed 32 square feet in size. 459 (b) Price per gallon signs not exceeding two square feet, located on the pump itself. 460 D. Temporary signs.

461 1. Temporary signs. Temporary signs for special events including inflatable signs with a surface 462 area of less than 100 square feet and not more than 25 feet tall, may be erected on the 463 premises of any establishment conducting a special event, provided that such signs do not 464 exceed a total of two signs with a total of 100 square feet in sign area.. Temporary signage 465 shall be displayed no longer than 90 days per calendar year. For grand openings, the 466 maximum number, sign type, and allowable area may be waived by the city planner. Permits 467 for such signs are required and shall be accompanied by a fee as provided for in Appendix 468 F—Fees and Fines. The city planner may waive the time period, not to exceed an additional 469 30 days, if they determine that there are extenuating circumstances requiring further time for 470 a temporary sign. 471 2. Race weekend signs. During any seven-day period prior to the Saturday or Sunday that auto 472 racing is occurring, temporary signs may be erected without a permit and with no restrictions 473 on the number or size of the signs. 474 3. Inflatable signs. Permits for such signs are required and shall be accompanied by a fee as 475 provided for in Appendix F—Fees and Fines. 476 (a) Inflatable signs with a surface area equal to or less than 100 square feet and not more 477 than 25 feet tall are permitted in subsection 4.9—Supplementary Sign provisions, D.1., 478 of this section and shall meet the following requirements: 479 i. The inflatable sign shall be setback from the edge of the right-of-way a minimum of 480 25 feet. 481 ii. The inflatable sign shall be securely anchored to the building or ground. 482 (b) Inflatable signs with a surface area over 100 square feet and not more than 25 feet tall 483 are permitted only during grand opening events, community festivals, and during race 484 weekends in accordance with subsection 4.9 Supplementary Sign provisions, D.1. and 485 D.2., of this section and shall meet the following requirements: 486 i. The inflatable sign shall be setback from the edge of the right-of-way a minimum of 487 25 feet. 488 ii. A plot plan/survey is required showing the placement of the inflatable sign in 489 respect to utility lines and traffic. 490 iii. The inflatable sign shall be securely anchored to the building or ground. 491 E. Motor vehicle sales lots. This subsection allows motor vehicle sales lots to compensate for their 492 likelihood to be mistaken for ordinary parking lots unless additional signs or other attention getting 493 devices are placed in the sales area. It has also been demonstrated that these businesses tend 494 to have smaller buildings relative to their land area diminishing their ability to effectively use wall 495 signs. 496 1. Banners are permitted on motor vehicle sales lots with a permit. Such banners may be 497 permitted at a rate not to exceed one banner for each ten motor vehicle parking/storage 498 spaces on the premises, and any such banner shall not be situated closer than 50 feet of 499 any other banner on the premises. Parking spaces required for employees, customers, and 500 service department uses shall not be counted to calculate the number of banners. The term 501 "banner" does not include pennants, streamers, balloons, or other temporary or permanent 502 signs. 503 2. Banners shall not exceed a width of three feet. 504 3. All banners must be securely attached to light standards, poles, or other substantial mounting 505 hardware. Except for temporary signs permitted under the provisions of subsection 4.9— 506 Supplementary sign provisions, D., of this section, all banners must be constructed of a 507 permanent, weather resistant material. 508 F. Shared freestanding signs.

509 1. For adjoining nonresidential properties, a freestanding sign structure may be shared among 510 adjoining property owners or businesses solely for the purpose of identification of the 511 adjoining premises or businesses. 512 2. Where multiple property owners have agreed to share a freestanding sign as referenced in 513 subsection 4.4—Design requirements, of this section, the shared freestanding sign shall be 514 entitled to a combined sign area bonus of not more than 50 percent over the freestanding 515 sign area otherwise permitted for the property on which the shared freestanding sign would 516 be placed. 517 3. The permit application for a shared freestanding sign shall be accompanied by a binding 518 legal agreement between the multiple adjoining property owners and/or businesses which 519 describes the ownership and maintenance obligations for such shared sign. 520 G. Single buildings with multiple commercial tenant spaces or facades. 521 1. Structures, such as shopping centers, which contain multiple commercial tenant spaces, are 522 permitted to have at least one wall sign on each unit. This provision shall only apply to units 523 on the first floor of the structure. 524 2. When a structure is designed so that there are distinctly different facades or sections of the 525 building along a single frontage, at least one wall sign is permitted on each facade or section 526 of the building. 527 3. Multi story office buildings with multiple tenants are permitted one wall sign per tenant. Signs 528 shall not be located above the second story. 529 H. Vehicle and utility trailer signs. Vehicles or utility trailers driving in the public right-of-way, 530 or temporarily parked in an approved parking area, shall be permitted to have vehicle 531 signs attached to or painted on them, with no sign permit required. However, the city 532 planner may require any vehicle or utility trailer with a vehicle sign to be moved if he/she 533 determines that the vehicle is inoperable or being used for the sole purpose of displaying 534 signage. Vehicles shall be moved to a location not visible from the public right-of-way, or, 535 if no such location is available, as far away from the public right-of-way as possible. In 536 making the determination, the city planner may use the following criteria; it is not 537 necessary that any one of or all the listed criteria be present to determine that the vehicle 538 is inoperable or being used for the sole purpose of displaying signage. 539 1. Whether the sign is painted upon or applied in a permanent manner directly to an 540 integral part of the vehicle or utility trailer or merely temporarily attached to the 541 vehicle or utility trailer. 542 2. Whether, during the normal business hours of operation of the business, the vehicle 543 or utility trailer is moved or remains in a stationary location. 544 3. Whether the vehicle or utility trailer is regularly parked in a location or manner to be 545 prominently displayed to the public. 546 4. Whether other nearby signage for the business is provided by a free-standing sign 547 or wall sign. 548 5. Whether the vehicle or utility trailer is suitable for and actively used in the daily 549 function of the business to which such signs relate. 550 6. Whether the sign includes directional copy or symbols that would only be applicable 551 if parked near the use. 552 7. Whether there is available parking in another location on the site. 553 8. Whether the vehicle sign is being used to advertise the sale of the vehicle or utility 554 trailer, or other nearby vehicles or utility trailers. 555 9. Vehicles and utility trailers shall be deemed inoperable if they are not properly and 556 currently registered and tagged; if they are damaged or disabled as to not

557 immediately be movable; if they are raised off the ground in any way; if they 558 cannot be started and moved off their location; or if they are missing required 559 equipment enabling them to travel on a public roadway. 560 561 4.10 Nonconforming signs. 562 A. Exclusions. Nonconforming signs which are within ten percent of compliance of any height, area 563 or location requirement and which conform to all other provisions of this ordinance [section] shall 564 be considered legal signs for the purposes of these regulations, except as provided in subsection 565 4.10—Nonconforming signs, B.4, below. 566 B. Removal or compliance required. Nonconforming signs shall be removed from the premises or 567 otherwise made to comply with these regulations in the following instances: 568 1. When there is renovation to more than 75 percent of the exterior of the principal building 569 measured in square feet of exterior wall surface area, or expansion of more than 20 percent 570 of the floor area of the principal building measured in square feet of floor area on the 571 premises on which such nonconforming signs are present, except that freestanding signs 572 that are nonconforming as specified shall not be required to conform; however, the degree 573 of non-conformity shall not increase. When, within any given two-year period, individual 574 renovation projects involving less than 75 percent of the building exterior and/or individual 575 building additions involving less than 20 percent of the floor area of the principal building on 576 the premises would in aggregate exceed the 75 percent renovation and/or 20 percent 577 expansion thresholds set forth herein, all such nonconforming signs shall be brought into 578 conformity with these regulations or shall be removed from the premises. 579 2. Prior to the issuance of any permit for the placement of any additional signage on the 580 property. No new signs of any type shall be added to the property until the nonconforming 581 sign is removed. 582 3. Nonconforming signs (including all supporting structures and mounting hardware) which 583 have been abandoned shall be removed from the premises or otherwise made to conform 584 within one year from the date of abandonment. Refacing the sign in accordance with other 585 requirements of this section does not absolve an owner from complying with this subsection. 586 In certain instances where it is evident that the reoccupation or reuse of a premises which 587 contains an abandoned nonconforming sign is imminent, the city planner may grant an 588 extension of time within which to reestablish the use of such nonconforming sign. 589 4. Any nonconforming sign which has been removed from the premises shall be considered 590 discarded, and replacement shall constitute a new sign, and require new permits. 591 C. Notification and responsibility. It shall be the responsibility of the owner of record of such property 592 to cause the removal of such nonconforming signs in accordance with these provisions. When 593 any of the above-listed conditions exist, the city planner is authorized to issue written notice to 594 the owner of record of such property, stating that such signs shall be removed within two calendar 595 weeks of the date of receipt of the written notice. In cases where signs are determined to be 596 unsafe or present a hazard, the city planner may order their removal in a shorter period of time. 597 Failure to comply with these regulations, after due notice, shall be deemed a violation of this 598 ordinance [section] and is punishable in accordance with the provisions of article 8, section 4 of 599 this ordinance [section]. In addition, in the event that compliance is not achieved within the stated 600 period, the city planner may remove or cause to be removed from the premises any such signs 601 in violation of this section. All expenses incidental to such removal shall be charged to the owner 602 of record of such property and shall constitute a lien upon such property. 603 4.11 Abandoned and damaged signs. 604 A. Abandoned. All signs that conform to the current regulations which are deemed abandoned shall 605 either be refaced with a blank or blacked out face or removed totally (including the supporting 606 structure and/or mounting hardware) within 90 days of abandonment. Covering sign copy with

607 tarps, paper, tape, cardboard or other nonpermanent materials is not an acceptable method of 608 refacing. 609 B. Removal. Any conforming sign, which has been removed from the premises, shall be considered 610 discarded, and replacement shall constitute a new sign, and require new permits. 611 C. Repair. All signs that are damaged (no longer working, cracked, missing pieces, etc.) shall be 612 repaired within 30 days. A permit is not required as long as the sign will look exactly the same as 613 it did before the sign was damaged. If there are any changes (color, script, etc.) to the sign a new 614 permit will be required. 615 4.12 Historic or significant signs. 616 A. Preservation of historic or significant signs. Signs that are at least 50 years old and considered 617 historic or to have cultural/aesthetic significance shall be protected and preserved. If these signs 618 are legally nonconforming they shall maintain their nonconforming status indefinitely. The 619 determination of the historic or cultural/aesthetic significance of the sign shall be determined by 620 the historic district commission. 621 1. The owner of the premises on which these signs reside shall maintain the signs to ensure 622 they work and are in good condition. 623 (Ord. of 2-12-2001; Ord. No. 2009-09, 6-22-2009; Ord.
