ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 10, 2018 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of September 10, 2018 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Lewis, seconded by Mr. Neil and bore the written approval of Mayor Christiansen. PROCLAMATION - CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS MONTH The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, we recognize the vital role that technology has in our daily lives and in the future of the City of Dover. Today many citizens, schools, libraries, businesses, and other organizations use the Internet for a variety of tasks, including keeping in contact with family and friends, managing personal finances, performing research, enhancing education, and conducting business. Critical sectors are increasingly reliant on information systems to support financial services, energy, telecommunications, transportation, utilities, healthcare, and emergency response systems; and WHEREAS, Internet users and our information infrastructure face increasing threats of malicious cyber-attacks, invasion of privacy from spyware and adware, and significant financial and personal privacy loss due to identity theft and fraud; and WHEREAS, Delaware's DigiKnow Campaign is aimed at increasing the understanding of cyber threats and empowering the public to be safer and more secure online. Maintaining the security of cyberspace is a shared responsibility in which each of us has a critical role, and awareness of

Page 6

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 2 computer security essentials will improve the security of the City of Dover information infrastructure and economy. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim October 2018 as CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS MONTH in the City of Dover and urge all citizens to learn about cyber security and put that knowledge into practice. On behalf of the Mayor, Council, and the citizens of the City of Dover, Mayor Christiansen presented the proclamation to Mr. Andy Siegel, IT Director for the City of Dover, and his staff for their efforts in keeping the IT systems safe, sound, and secure. Mr. Siegel advised that the users are the weakest link in cybersecurity and he encouraged everyone to read the monthly newsletter on the IT department's webpage on the City of Dover website. He noted that it addresses different cybersecurity topics. PROCLAMATION - FIRE PREVENTION WEEK The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, the City of Dover is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all those living in and visiting our City, and fire is a serious public safety concern both locally and nationally. The 2018 Fire Prevention Week theme, "LOOK. LISTEN. LEARN. Be aware - fire can happen anywhere" effectively serves to remind residents to take personal steps to increase their safety from fire; and WHEREAS, homes are the locations where people are at greatest risk from a fire. It is vital for residents to identify places in their home where fires can start and eliminate those hazards, and have a planned and practiced home fire escape plan; and WHEREAS, working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fires in half; therefore, residents should install smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home. Residents should listen for the sound of the smoke alarm and it sounds, respond by going outside immediately to the designated meeting place. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim October 7 - 13, 2018 as FIRE PREVENTION WEEK in the City of Dover and urge all residents to be aware of their surroundings, look for available ways out in the event of a fire or other emergency, respond when the smoke alarm sounds by exiting the building immediately, and to support the many public safety activities and efforts of the City of Dover's fire emergency services. On behalf of the Mayor, Council, and the citizens of the City of Dover that Robbins Hose Company, Dover’s Volunteer Fire Department, serve on a daily basis, Mayor Christiansen presented the Proclamation to Fire Chief Carleton E. Carey, Jr. and commended he and the members of the department.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 3 Chief Carey advised that the schedule for Fire Prevention Week was almost full. He noted that they saw over 3,200 kids between preschool, kindergarten, and elementary schools the previous year. Chief Carey reminded everyone to change the batteries in their smoke detectors and stated that anyone who needed a smoke detector could stop at Station 1, 103 South Governors Avenue, to pick one up. PROCLAMATION - HALLOWEEN TRICK-OR-TREAT The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, the children of the City of Dover enjoy the fun and festivities associated with the observance of the Halloween Trick-or-Treat custom of emerging from their homes as ghosts, witches, princesses, cartoon characters, caped crusaders, or action heroes and traveling with friends and family door to door throughout the neighborhood to gather treats; and WHEREAS, parents are urged to join in the festivities by accompanying their children throughout their journeys in celebrating Halloween Trick-or-Treat and motorists are urged to drive with extra caution and to be ever watchful of our youngsters making their rounds; and WHEREAS, it is requested that residents indicate their willingness to welcome children by keeping their porch or exterior lights on and that youngsters call only on homes which are lighted. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim that the Halloween Trick or-Treat observance be held on the 31st day of October 2018, between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. in the City of Dover and urge all residents, both young and old, to make this a happy and safe occasion for our children. PROCLAMATION - NATIONAL COMMUNITY PLANNING MONTH The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, change is constant in every community and affects all of us, and community planning can help manage change in a way that provides better choices for how people work and live. Community planning provides an opportunity for all residents to be involved in making choices that determine the future of their community and requires public officials and citizens who understand, support, and demand excellence in plan development and implementation; and WHEREAS, the American Planning Association and its professional institute, the American Institute of Certified Planners, endorse National Community Planning Month as an opportunity to highlight the contributions that sound planning and plan implementation make to the quality of our communities and environment; and WHEREAS, the 2018 National Community Planning Month theme, "Housing in Community Infrastructure," underscores the important role that planning plays in ensuring that all City of Dover residents have safe and affordable housing options which advance economic and social equity goals. Inclusive growth planning and polices in the City's Comprehensive Plan give residents a genuine stake in housing and development, while helping new residents access housing opportunities

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 4 NOW THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim the month of October 2018 as NATIONAL COMMUNITY PLANNING MONTH in the City of Dover, and encourage all citizens to join me in recognizing the participation and dedication of the staff of the City of Dover Department of Planning and Inspections, members of the City of Dover Planning Commission and the valuable contributions made by other community and regional planners and our partner agencies at the State and County levels. We extend our heartfelt thanks for the continued commitment to public service by these professionals and private citizens. On behalf of the Mayor, Council, and the citizens of the City of Dover, Mayor Christiansen presented the proclamation to Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, members of the Planning Staff, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams and Mr. Eddie Diaz, and Planning Commissioners Mr. Fred Tolbert, Chairman, Ms. Debbie Edwards, Mr. Tom Holt, Dr. Bobby Jones, and Ms. Andrea Maucher. Mr. Hugg advised that a great plan for a great city requires a great staff and a dedicated Planning Commission and they have all of those things in Dover. Mr. Tolbert stated that the planning staff was to be commended and he thanked City Council, the members of the staff and the Planning Commission for a wonderful job, noting that they are proud of the City of Dover and the City Council. PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING - STAFF SUBSTITUTE #1 (SS#1) TO PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2018-01 WITH PLANNING COMMISSION AMENDMENT #1 (PC#1) A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider approval of proposed amendments to Chapter 66 - Manufactured Homes, Mobile Homes, and Land Lease Communities; Appendix B - Zoning, Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 8 - Manufactured Housing (MH) Zone; Appendix B - Zoning, Article 12 - Definitions; and Appendix F - Fees and Fines. Mr. Neil moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2018-01 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Lewis and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of February 26, 2018.) Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the text amendments would bring the Dover Code into compliance with Delaware Code relating to Manufactured Housing and Rental Housing, particularly Title 25, Chapters 53, 55, 70, and 71. He noted that the amendments include requirements for replacing and licensing manufactured homes, standards for management and maintenance of land lease communities, taxation and code enforcement. A distinction is also made between manufactured homes and placed manufactured houses in the zoning ordinance. Mr. Hugg reviewed the ordinance, noting that it was a much better ordinance now than when it was introduced in February and that it properly addresses this issue. He noted that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended adoption of the ordinance, with amendments.

Page 9

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 5 Mr. Anderson, noting that line 188, which deals with the Planning Commission amendments, states "Stormwater management facilities shall be maintained so as to be free of blockage and prevent accumulation of standing water that's not dissipated in 48 hours," asked if that was standard in other City ordinances and, if not, suggested stated that maybe it should be. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that it is a provision that was adopted in 2016 and it is common to the development process throughout the City. Mr. Neil noted that the stormwater management facilities’ language is included in Del.C., Title 25, Chapter 70 for manufactured home communities on lease land. Mr. Anderson asked Mr. Hugg to explain what effect the Planning Commission amendments would have on management responsibility and delegation of maintenance duties. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that there was some concern about the relationship between the residents of the land lease community and the management association, and whether some of those responsibilities could be delegated by management to the individual land lease community owner. He advised that the language is intended to clarify how that relationship would work and, particularly, that responsibilities cannot be delegated if it would violate state law. Mr. Neil advised that leases control aspects of the maintenance responsibilities for people who own their home but lease the land. In some communities, grass cutting may be part of it, and in other communities it may not be. He explained that it can be delegated to the individual home owner, depending on the terms of the lease. Mr. Neil stated that the overall maintenance of the community is controlled by state law. Council President Slavin declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to speak, Council President Slavin declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Neil read the following statement: My comments are in reference to the Packets available to the public before the Council Session. I previously complimented Dave Hugg and Eddie Diaz on this update of Chapter 66. Since the City Council has final responsibility for the Ordinances, we do not appear before the Planning Commission. Misinformation can be a result. On Page 56 of Packet: Mr. Tolbert (Planning Commission member) stated that Wild Meadows has asked the State to put a cap on the lease payments that they can pay and he thinks that the State refused to do that and they have had their hands full with that battle. Not correct: Under Rent Justification, a Home Owners Association (HOA) or any individual, can request a hearing if the increase demanded is over the Consumer Price Index-Urban, which at the time was 0.7%, or a $3.62 per month increase. The arbitration request resulted when the new community owner requested 8% and a $40 per month increase. Keep in mind, that $107,000 additional are coming out in that increase, plus the actual rent payments from 223 homes of $1,458,420 annually. It leaves the community and the state and can't be spent in Dover businesses. After the arbitrator decides, the decision by either side can be appealed to the Superior Court and then the Supreme Court of Delaware.

Page 10

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 6 Responding to Mr. Tolbert, Michael Morton, who is the attorney for the community owner, stated that one of the "City Councilmen is a long term member of the community of Wild Meadows and has been an advocate for their issues in the legislature for many years. He would probably tell you that he was solely or significantly responsible for the imposition of rent justification in manufactured housing communities." I don't know whether to take this as a compliment or a defamation of character. As an old newsman, I stick to verifiable facts. However, I do take exception. I don't think my colleagues in this body or with the other advocates of equitable laws have ever heard me taking credit alone other than being a voice for what many other advocates have worked so hard to achieve. Unfortunately, that law needs revision. I presume, Mr. Morton thinks my role has been significant. On Page 60 of Morton's analysis of Title 25, Chapter 70, which he helped to write as President of the Community Owners Association, he cites Chapter 66-4, Sub-Paragraph ii, requiring a receipt for Lot Rent with §7015A, which does not contain any reference to receipts for these type of payments. Our law, Chapter 66, requires it. It's in there if you make a request. This means there is a void in the State law, therefore, this change does not conflict with the State Law. Does the City Charter permit this requirement to protect its citizens? So why don't the landlords want to give receipts that all citizens take for granted in all of our business dealings? Under State Law, if the landlord holds your rent check for 6 days, they can claim you paid late and hit you with a $25 late fee. With 4 late payments they can eject you from the community. Since you own the home, what then and at what cost? I think it's a terrific addition, and probably the only ordinance that basically protects people in lease land communities in the entire state. Thank you. Mr. Hare moved for approval of Planning Commission Amendment #1 (PC#1), seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. Mr. Hare moved for adoption of Staff Substitute #1 (SS#1) for Proposed Ordinance #2018-01, as amended by Planning Commission Amendment #1 (PC#1), as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and, by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted Ordinance #2018-01 (Exhibit #1). ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT - JULY 11, 2018 The Economic Development Committee met on July 11, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. with Mayor Christiansen presiding. Members present were Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Hugg, and Ms. Evans. Mr. Hare, Mr. Cole, and Mr. Hammond were absent. Staff members present were Mr. Eddie Diaz, Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Mr. Kirby Hudson, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, and Mr. Julian Swierczek. Councilman Neil

Page 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 7 was also present. Others present were Mr. Jim McCulley, Watershed Eco, LLC and President of the Home Builders Association of Delaware, Mr. Phil McGinnis, McGinnis Commercial Real Estate Company and Chair of the Public Policy Committee for the Kent County Association of Realtors, Mr. Beau Zebley, President of the Kent County Association of Realtors, Ms. Rebecca Rothenberg, NCALL Consultant, and Mrs. Karen Speakman, NCALL Director. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Due to the lack of a quorum, the agenda was not adopted. Mayor Christiansen stated that the meeting would be informational only and no action would be required. Mayor Christiansen announced that no Economic Development Committee meetings would be held until September and, going forward, meetings would be scheduled for the Tuesday following the second Monday of the month from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Discussion with Kent County Association of Realtors and Delaware Homebuilders - Housing Trends and Expectations for Dover's Future Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised that the City is in the process of updating the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, which addresses housing at length, and he invited representatives of the Kent County Association of Realtors and Delaware Homebuilders to discuss current issues related to housing, housing affordability, the housing market, housing trends, etc., and to speculate about the five- and ten-year outlook for housing in general. He explained that staff wants to make sure that, as they go through the planning process, they reflect what statistics indicate, as well as the input from those who build and sell houses. Mr. Hugg stated that their input is important to help staff understand how the market has evolved and continues to evolve, and what that might mean in terms of future development. Mr. Hugg stated that, prior to the meeting, he had provided everyone with a list of questions to guide the discussion. Those present discussed what they see happening in the Dover and greater Dover market. Mr. Phil McGinnis reviewed a handout entitled “Kent County Residential Stats,” noting that the statistics were from the Kent County multi-list system from the first quarter of 2015 through the second quarter of 2018. He noted that the data revealed that there was a decline at the end of 2017; however, it seemed to be climbing a little during the first half of 2018. Mr. McGinnis advised that the inventory represents the number of houses available for resale, not new construction. He stated that inventory is very low and the demand is high for entry level houses, which is the real crux of the problem. Mr. McGinnis stated that there is an oversupply of homes in the range of $350,000 and above, explaining that these were what was built when they were making a profit.

Page 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 8 Mr. McGinnis informed members that it is difficult for first-time home buyers because they are competing with investors who are flipping homes or just want to buy rental property. He stated that the first-time home buyers are also competing against each other for the same properties, which sell in a matter of hours if they are priced right because there just isn’t enough inventory. Ms. Evans asked if there just weren’t a lot of builders building entry level homes. Responding, Mr. McCulley noted that when he approached the executive committee, board of directors, and then the entire membership of the Home Builders Association of Delaware to try to find a builder who is building in Dover or interested in building to Dover to attend this meeting, everyone told him that they do not build in Dover and are not interested in building in Dover. In response to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. McCulley indicated that he did not know why but that he could go back and ask. Mrs. Speakman noted that Ryan Homes is building in Dover. Responding, Mr. McCulley stated that Ryan Homes is definitely the biggest builder in the state and is surpassing every other builder; however, he noted that they do not get involved in anything like this. Mr. McGinnis explained that builders do not want to build in Dover because they are not able to make a profit. He stated that credit availability is a problem, especially in Kent County and the City of Dover, and there are only new subdivisions coming through the pipelines in Sussex County. Mr. McGinnis explained that when a developer does come in and picks up 15 or 20 lots, which is the current norm, they can either pay cash or they can finance it. He stated that the bank will give them the money to build one (1) spec house and then they sell it and get money to build another spec house. Mr. McGinnis advised that the demographics and sales reports in the low $200,000 show that the margins aren’t good enough to carry the units. He stated that the home builders aren’t capable of putting in the infrastructure. Mr. McGinnis explained that once they have five (5) finished lots, they need somebody to get the approvals, fund and install the infrastructure, and then carry the finished lots, noting that carrying finished lots is completely different from carrying paper lots. Mr. Zebley stated that he represented the original owner that sold the Clearview Meadows property to Ryan Homes. He explained that Ryan Homes got quite a good deal to buy out the rest of the development because the original owner got it through foreclosure. Mr. Zebley noted that if Ryan Homes had not gotten such a good deal, they would have passed on it and the development would have continued to sit there selling one (1) or two (2) homes every six (6) months. He advised that someone has to make a profit each step along the way, and if there is no profit, there is no reason to build. He stated that it all comes down to jobs. Mr. McCulley advised that labor and regulation are the two (2) biggest concerns of the National Home Builders Association. He explained that Ryan Homes doesn't have a problem with labor because they are the biggest builder in the state and they have all the labor tied up; however, everyone else is struggling because of that. In

Page 13

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 9 regard to regulation, Mr. McCulley stated that a survey was done last year that revealed that more than 30% of the price of a new home is regulation and that number keeps increasing every year. He indicated that he thought that regulations and fees needed to be looked at in order to determine how to make it more affordable to purchase a lot, build a home, and sell it for a profit. Mr. McCulley noted that the difference between Ryan Homes and other builders is that Ryan Homes offers their buyers financing, so they can sell a house at zero profit because they are making their money on the financing. Mr. Neil noted that he had previously heard from builders that they are not getting people who are trained trade professions and it seemed to him that there was a disconnect with the local educational institutions. He stated that he thought that NCALL and Habitat for Humanity might be the biggest builders in the City and Kent County, through their efforts to demolish blights and build new homes in which people can become part of the community. Mrs. Speakman explained that NCALL subsidizes the cost. Mr. McCulley indicated that the Home Builders Association completed a project with St. Georges Technical High School students last year in which they built and raffled off high-end sheds. He explained that they brought together superintendents from builders in the Association, carpenters, HVAC technicians, electricians, etc. to work with the students. Mr. McCulley noted that the students had no idea that they could go into a home building type business after graduation, so this was an eye- opening experience for them. He stated that they were planning to work with St. George Technical High School and Habitat for Humanity to build homes in Middletown. Mr. McCulley advised that he thought that, from the labor side, they needed to start working with the voc-tech schools because the students need to know that there are careers available where they can make money. Ms. Evans suggested that they also work with Polytech High School. Responding to Mr. Hugg, Mr. McGinnis explained that from a cyclical standpoint the market in Kent County had been struggling since 2009 or 2010. He stated that the lack of credit availability and job growth were the main factors. Mr. McGinnis noted that if the credit availability would relax a little bit, they might see more houses being built, which would lead to more jobs, which would lead to more income. Mr. McCulley noted that he could not remember the last residential project he worked on in the City of Dover. He stated that you can get a plan approved in three (3) months in Middletown and it is booming. Mr. McCulley explained that Middletown is business friendly, and people are building places where people can work, which leads to building places for people to live, and then more places for people to work and shop and eat, etc. He suggested that the City of Dover review its approval process, whether they are perceived as being business friendly, and if there are jobs available.

Page 14

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 10 Mr. Neil noted that land availability is also a factor and asked how much land is available in the City of Dover. Mr. McGinnis stated that he did not know what the inventory for vacant land availability is in the City, but suggested that the City may need to look at expanding borders. Mr. Hugg noted that he thought that there was a reasonable inventory of unbuilt subdivisions, but not a lot of land for potential new subdivisions. Mr. McGinnis explained that even with “shovel ready” subdivisions, where the infrastructure is already in place and someone only needs to get a building permit, they still have to measure what the transaction activity will be before they can build, explaining that if it is a subdivision with $225,000 houses, someone can’t start building $350,000 units. Mr. Zebley explained that, whether it’s justified or not, the City has a reputation of being difficult to deal with and that is why builders say they will not build in Dover. He stated that it is important for the City to determine what is driving that perception, in order to change it. Responding, Mr. Hugg noted that the residential building permit process seemed to work pretty efficiently and quickly for Ryan Homes. He stated that he was not sure what the City could do to improve the process but was willing to take efforts to make improvements if someone would provide specific issues. Mr. Hugg asked what the demographics are for those who are buying houses in Dover and where they are coming from. Responding, Mr. Zebley stated that most of the buyers are retirees, who are no longer working and moving to Delaware to buy homes. Mr. McGinnis stated that the demographic had moved toward retirees, for whom it seemed big, expensive houses aren’t necessary. Mrs. Mitchell noted that a couple of candidates she had interviewed for jobs with the City indicated that they had retired from jobs in other states, were looking for a second career, and were interested in moving to Delaware because the cost of living, taxes, etc. are much lower. Mr. Zebley stated that everyone is competing for houses priced in the $210,000 to $215,000 range. He advised that credit is a huge issue and, based on his experience as a property manager, people are willing to pay 30% to 40% more than what the mortgage would be because they cannot buy a house. Mr. McGinnis indicated that the jobs that young people have today are not quality enough to enable them to save for the down payment and closing costs to buy a house. He stated that last session the legislators raised the transfer tax from 3% to 4% and admitted that real estate sales had declined as a result. He noted that legislators said they would decrease the transfer tax; however, they did not. Mr. McGinnis advised that most mortgages require a down payment of 10%, plus there is a 4% transfer tax, which is 40% of the equity requirement and does not include property surveys, inspections, etc. He stated that the equity cost to get into a new house with 10% down is approximately 17% to 18%. In response to Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Speakman advised that NCALL is not subsidizing what the owner’s equity and closing costs would have been, NCALL is able to reduce those costs. She stated that sometimes an owner will get a second mortgage for down payment assistance. Mrs. Speakman advised that NCALL had 275 closings

Page 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 11 last year for first time home buyers throughout the state, with approximately 60% in Kent County. She stated that the need is for houses between $150,000 and $200,000. Mrs. Harvey noted that she had noticed a trend for energy efficient “green” houses, that are a very simple box style design, and asked if that was going to continue. Responding, Mr. McCulley advised that Delaware was currently in negotiations to try to boost the energy code, which would make it more expensive to build a house because it would have to be more energy efficient and that would change the design. He explained that in order to meet the new energy standards, a lot of builders are going to more boxy houses with less windows. Mr. Hugg noted that one of the reasons that Ryan Homes is so successful is that they only have a few models for home buyers to choose from. He expressed concern with defaulting to a basic model for every house, explaining that, while they will all meet the current standards and codes, every house will look the same and they will lose individual character. Mr. Zebley noted that allowing mixed use, like he has seen in Middletown and Sussex County, would provide flexibility and higher density. Mr. Hugg advised that the City has the capability to do traditional neighborhoods, which encourage a mix of density and types; however, currently, there are not any builders willing to do this. Mr. McGinnis noted that approximately three (3) or four (4) years ago, the City added residential uses to the commercial districts to allow mixed use; however, he noted that builders are not interested in 10 units. In response to Mr. Zebley, Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that the approval process for a new subdivision depends on the project, noting that there are many variables, such as if it’s a City or Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) street, the infrastructure design, etc. She stated that they have had green build projects get through the Planning Commission process and ready to pull permits in less than six (6) months. Mr. Swierczek noted that he had worked for the City for a little more than one (1) year and had received calls from applicants regarding the status of a few project applications which he reviewed. He explained that in all of those cases, the applications were being held up by other agencies, like DelDOT; however, since the City is the main point of contact, applicants contact the City. Mr. Zebley asked how other communities had streamlined the DelDOT process. Mrs. Speakman noted that she thought there were more DelDOT roads within the City of Dover than other communities, like Middletown. Mayor Christiansen advised that years ago, one of the concessions that the City made, by virtue of being the capital of the state, was to concede street maintenance and construction for many of the streets to the State of Delaware. He indicated that, as a member of the Kent Economic Partnership (KEP), he knew that this problem was not isolated to the City of Dover. Mayor Christiansen stated that the KEP viewed this issue as a detriment to housing and industrial development in Kent County, and they had talked to Secretary Cohan about it and she is working to change the culture at DelDOT. Mr. McGinnis recalled a previous discussion regarding a mixed use building at the plaza with commercial spaces on the bottom and apartments above it. He stated that he loved that idea, explaining that if downtown is going to prosper, it needs people

Page 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 12 to live, work, and shop there. Mr. McGinnis noted that many places had created little town centers but he was unsure whether the City had the land for this type of development. Mr. McGinnis stated that he had talked to a number of people in the business community who commented that they love what Mr. Hugg had done in turning around his department, but he was not sure why the message that the City is open for business and willing to work with people had not spread to the development community. Mr. Hugg credited his predecessors and staff who had worked for the City for awhile, noting that he did not think that the City was ever as predisposed to saying no as people say. He stated that there had been some improvements in regard to up-front communication and working together during the last year; however, he indicated that the process cannot go faster due to Planning Commission meeting schedules and hearings that must be held. Mr. McGinnis noted that there are a lot of things that applicants have to do as part of the process; however, if they do them, they don’t have to redo them. He indicated that regulation is part of the process and during previous years when there was a lot of construction there was a long wait because of the volume of applications. Mr. McGinnis noted that as construction increased, so did regulations; however, he indicated that people didn’t feel that the regulations were always applied fairly and, as a result of those previous experiences, they don’t want to come back now. Mr. Hudson asked what the City was doing to attract people to move to the City of Dover. Responding, Mr. McGinnis explained that the major employment opportunities are in New Castle County but Route 1 allowed people to move further south and still commute north. He indicated that people were attracted to Middletown and Smyrna because a $400,000 house in New Castle could be purchased for $300,000 in Middletown or $250,000 in Smyrna. Mr. Hugg noted that the meeting was scheduled to adjourn at 3:00 p.m. and asked for final comments from those in attendance. In response, Mr. McCulley stated that he thought that flexibility and density were important topics for the City to consider. He also noted that it was important for the City to review the length of time and flexibility of the approval process, as well as how much it would cost a builder to complete the process and what the certainty would be. Mr. McGinnis stated that he thought that minimizing and consolidating regulations was the most important. Mr. Zebley indicated that he agreed that the most important issues related to regulations, and suggested that the City try to minimize time frames and increase density. He stated that he thought that the City needs to make it known that Dover is open for business in order to attract employers, employees, and builders, noting that economics and development are all tied together. Ms. Rothenberg asked how the regulations in Dover differed from other area. Responding, Mr. McGinnis noted that Kent County has different building and construction codes than the City of Dover. Mr. McCulley indicated that continuous code changes cause problems for builders because it costs them money, so they

Page 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 13 would rather work in places that adopt new codes every three (3) to five (5) years, instead of every year. Mrs. Speakman suggested that the City meet with local builders, as well as local banks. She noted that, in regard to credit availability, local banks may be able to provide some deal within the City. Mrs. Speakman stated that NCALL has a loan fund of more than $30M and participates with banks all the time, and suggested that there could be a special project for affordable housing or mixed use that they could help build through their loan fund. In response to Mrs. Speakman, Mr. McGinnis noted that development loans are governed by the federal government so you have to conform to federal regulations. Mr. Hugg invited everyone to complete the survey associated with the Comprehensive Plan update, noting that approximately 300 responses had been received. He also encouraged everyone to send him any suggestions or comments in regard to improvements that can be made. By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for acceptance of the Economic Development Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT - SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 The Council Committee of the Whole met on September 11, 2018 at 6:00 p.m., with Council President Slavin presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Lindell. Mr. Lewis was absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mrs. Doyle (Utility), and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). Ms. Scarborough (Utility), and Dr. Stewart (Legislative, Finance, and Administration) were absent. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Cole presiding. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, introduced the City’s new Electric Director, Mr. James “Jim” Robinson. Mr. Cole welcomed Mr. Robinson, and expressed his appreciation to Mrs. Mitchell and the staff involved in the hiring process. Evaluation of Bids - FY18 Inflow and Infiltration Relining Project Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the FY18 Inflow and Infiltration Relining Project. Staff recommended approval of the low bid submitted by Standard Pipe Services, LLC in the amount of $101,665 for the relining of 792 linear feet of 8" sanitary sewer main, 349 linear feet of 12" sanitary sewer main, and 38 point repairs. The

Page 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 14 work will be accomplished in the Fox Hall, Downtown Dover, and Wesley College areas. Mr. Neil asked how long the relining process was estimated to take. In response, Mrs. Mitchell noted that the project timetable indicated that substantial completion is to be achieved within 60 calendar days, however, she would ask staff for a more definitive date. Mr. Anderson noted that he was in favor of this project and bid. He asked whether the City had looked at lining water pipes that are affected by brown water in recent years. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she would ask staff and provide members with that information. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought that it had been a few years since the City had relined water pipes and that it could be a cost-effective alternative to pipe replacement in some areas. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the Council Committee of the Whole/Utility meeting of September 11, 2018, members were provided an email response from Mr. Jason Lyon, P.E., Water/Wastewater Manager, Public Works Department, dated September 12, 2018, explaining that relining water mains is a valid method of rehabilitating the City’s water mains, however, a majority of the older mains are undersized. He advised that the City’s minimum requirement of water main size, in order to provide ample fire protection, is 8"; however, most of the lines that the City is replacing are 4", so relining a 4" main would not be an efficient / economic option. Mr. Lyon noted that, in the future, when all lines are of the proper size this would be a fantastic option.) The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation of the low bid submitted by Standard Pipe Services, LLC in the amount of $101,665 for the relining of 792 linear feet of 8" sanitary sewer main, 349 linear feet of 12" sanitary sewer main, and 38 point repairs. The work will be accomplished in the Fox Hall, Downtown Dover, and Wesley College areas. By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Hare presiding. FY18 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program - Joint Grant with Smyrna Police Department and Kent County Police Chief Marvin Mailey, Dover Police Department, reviewed the background regarding the FY18 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program. Staff recommended approval of the grant project, as requested. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation.

Page 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 15 By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. FY 19 Grant - Fund to Combat Violent Crime Police Chief Marvin Mailey, Dover Police Department, reviewed the background regarding the FY19 Grant for the Fund to Combat Violent Crime Program. Staff recommended approval of the grant and the intended purchases. In response to Mr. Shevock regarding the Taser upgrade, Chief Mailey explained that Axon is phasing out the current Taser model, so the Department has been doing a rolling upgrade over the last couple of years, to stay ahead of the curve. He advised that all of the street officers have newer Tasers. Chief Mailey noted that the older model will still do the job, however, Axon will not cover the maintenance costs. Mr. Lindell noted that Chief Mailey stated that the extra-duty foot patrols would be focused on high-crime areas and asked if this would include looking at issues as they happen, such as the vandalism and thefts that occurred in Bicentennial Village during the summer. Responding, Chief Mailey stated that the Department utilizes crime analysis to help dictate where they place the patrols; however, if they see a neighborhood that is experiencing a crisis, then they always shift manpower and patrol units to that neighborhood. He noted that they are not only driven by the data, explaining that the Department is reactive to what they see happening in the neighborhoods and the Community Policing officers attend neighborhood meetings, so they hear what’s going on and the Department tries to address the issues in realtime. In response to Mr. Polce, Chief Mailey advised that the Police Department shares a significant amount of crime trends with the Delaware Information and Analysis Center (DIAC), however, the Department’s Crime Analyst/Accreditation Manager, Retired Captain Robert Scott, analyzes the data in-house. Chief Mailey explained that the Department has biweekly crime analysis meetings with staff and supervisors to discuss what’s going on in the City and how to address it. He stated that staff is tasked with problems, they come up with solutions, and then they evaluate the results. If the results don’t pass a standard, then they revisit it and make adjustments until the desired result is achieved. The Committee recommended approval of the grant and the intended purchases, as recommended by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole Report, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 16 APPOINTMENT OF DELAWARE MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC CORPORATION (DEMEC) ALTERNATE DIRECTOR (JAMES S. ROBINSON) By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved to appoint Mr. James S. Robinson to serve as Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) Alternate Director. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. APPOINTMENT RECOMMENDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT SLAVIN - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE - KIM I. ADAMS (TO FILL THE EXPIRED TERM OF KISHOR C. SHETH - TERM TO EXPIRE MAY 2019) Council President Slavin recommended the appointment of Ms. Kim I. Adams to serve on the Economic Development Committee for a term to expire May 2019 (to fill the expired term of Mr. Kishor C. Sheth). By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the appointment of Ms. Adams, as recommended by Council President Slavin. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. REAPPOINTMENT RECOMMENDED BY MAYOR CHRISTIANSEN - SILVER LAKE COMMISSION - JAMES A. BURCHAM - ONE-YEAR TERM TO EXPIRE MAY 2019 Mayor Christiansen requested the reappointment of James A. Burcham to the Silver Lake Commission for a one-year term to expire May 2019. By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the reappointment of Mr. Burcham, as recommended by Mayor Christiansen. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. REQUEST OF MR. AND MRS. ROBERT DUNCAN FOR A ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT OR SIMILAR ACTION TO ALLOW FOR A RESIDENTIAL USE WITHIN THE DUNCAN CENTER BUILDING (ZONED IO) Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the Duncan Center opened in 2004 and, at that time or shortly thereafter, a portion of the basement of the building that was used by the Norfolk Southern Railroad crew, principally as a crew work area and break room. He stated that it was never actually approved as a residence nor used in that manner on a regular basis. Mr. Hugg explained that, at some point, Norfolk Southern abandoned the use of that facility and, sometime thereafter, the Duncans moved an individual into that space, in their words, “to provide security and maintenance and general oversight of the building.” Mr. Hugg informed members that staff recently received a complaint from a tenant of the building that this use was inappropriate and not authorized by the zoning ordinance, and expressed concern regarding the security of their own spaces. He stated that this complaint resulted in enforcement action led by the Fire Marshal and Chief Building Inspector. Mr. Hugg advised that staff determined that there was a violation of the zoning ordinance, explaining that the Code does not permit a residential use within any property zoned IO (Institutional and Office). Mr. Hugg stated that Mr. and Mrs. Duncan requested that this issue be considered by the Board of Adjustment, as the appropriate body to hear a use variance request. He explained that a use variance is a request to permit a use of a property that is not authorized by the zoning ordinance. Mr. Hugg

Page 21

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 17 informed members that Mr. and Mrs. Duncan were advised that the staff does not support creating an exception or creating a provision to allow a residential use in the IO Zone, in part, because of the various kinds of uses and activities that are specified in that zone. He stated that this matter was considered by the Board of Adjustment, and the Board ruled against the owner and upheld staff action, which would result in the occupant vacating the space. Mr. Hugg advised that staff had granted a 30-day grace period so that provisions could be made for the relocation of the occupant and vacation of the facilities. Mr. Hugg informed members that there had been a number of discussions regarding what approach could be used to allow this kind of activity to occur and staff has indicated that allowing a residential use is not something staff would support because the IO zoning district is primarily institutional, and an office includes such uses as business and professional government offices, banks, research design and development laboratories, hospitals, medical clinics, libraries, police stations, court houses, transit centers, schools, colleges, etc. He noted that there was an amendment to the City Code in 2014 which allowed some residential uses in commercial districts; however, to his knowledge, the IO zoning district never permitted this kind of activity. Mr. Hugg stated that Mr. Duncan had asked if there was some action that could be brought to Council for consideration, perhaps with the drafting of an amendment or conditional-use provision. He informed members that, in order for that to occur, staff would have to be instructed by Council to take that action and bring forth an ordinance amendment. He explained that an ordinance amendment would go through the normal process, which he estimated would conclude in February or March 2019. Mr. Hugg stated that if Council decides that a conditional use provision should be added to the IO zoning district, then the conditional use request would have to go back to the Planning Commission for consideration. He advised that, even in those circumstances, he could not guarantee that the Planning Commission would authorize a conditional use, nor that the space involved would meet appropriate life safety and housing code provisions. Mr. Hugg stated that there is a big difference between an area used as an occasional office and break room, and an area used for a residence, explaining that there are fire code differences and building code issues that would need to be addressed. Mr. Hugg informed members that the City had received correspondence from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the primary tenant in the Duncan Center, expressing concern and requesting that the City not allow a residential activity to occur. Mr. Anderson asked if emergency shelters and transitional housing were allowed as a primary use in the IO Zone. He asked if a homeless shelter would be permitted in the Duncan Center, but not one person to provide maintenance and security, noting that it is an area that has several mixed-use facilities. In response, Mr. Hugg stated that Mr. Anderson was correct, noting that the other uses that are allowed are public utility rights-of-way, daycare centers, provided they are established in accordance with other regulations about daycare centers, and emergency shelters and transitional housing, as well as accessory uses such as clinics, cafeterias, and recreational facilities. He advised that even though those uses are allowed in the zoning district, the City would also need to look at the nature of the structure and how the use would fit within that structure. Mr. Hugg stated that there would most likely be fire and other life-safety concerns that would limit the ability for some of those uses in the Duncan Center.

Page 22

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 18 Mr. Hugg reviewed a map depicting the zoning in the immediate area of the Duncan Center (Exhibit #2), in response to a request received from Mr. Anderson. Mr. Hugg stated that the zoning in the area is a mix of IO and commercial. He advised that the Duncan Center is zoned IO, there is property south of the Duncan Center that is also zoned IO, as well as some property in the general vicinity of New Street and Bank Lane. Mr. Hugg stated that the majority of the property in the general area is a commercial zoning consistent with the activities in downtown. He reminded members that the primary purpose of the IO Zone is institutional office uses, not residential. Mr. Anderson moved to refer this item to the Council Committee of the Whole/Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee, seconded by Mr. Sudler. Mr. Hugg requested that if Council chooses to take action to extend the consideration of this item, that they also clearly authorize the continued use of the site by its current tenant until the matter is resolved or, alternatively, allow staff to enforce the action of the Board of Adjustment. He stated that he did not think it would be fair to leave the Duncans or the individual involved in limbo. Mr. Slavin noted that while Council may not have discussed this matter, it had certainly drawn the attention of the Planning Office, the Board of Adjustment had already ruled on it, and the FBI asked the City not to allow this in the same place where they operate. He stated that he thought this was a compelling body of evidence that was brought before Council. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought that the FBI was totally irrelevant for Council’s purposes in this discussion because it was not a legal opinion. He indicated that he thought that the FBI’s concerns were only relevant to the Duncans, since it is the FBI’s preference as a lease holder, which is a landlord/tenant issue. Mr. Sudler stated that he respects the Board’s decision; however, the Duncans had reached out to him as their Fourth District Council Representative, so he would like to try to find a happy medium, which is why he would like to send the matter to the Council Committee of the Whole. He indicated that if there is not a happy medium, he would support the Committee’s recommendation. Mr. Lindell asked what Council envisioned the Committee doing exactly. He stated that he thought that members were just spinning their wheels and needed to make a decision one way or the other. Responding, Mr. Anderson stated that he did not think Council could make a decision at this stage, since they had not heard from Mr. Duncan or developed an ordinance yet. He noted that he was surprised that this matter was not considered by the Committee first because he thought that was the normal process. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought that this issue should be discussed by the Committee, so members can look at various options about how to proceed or not proceed. Mr. Hare suggested that the maker of the motion and seconder amend their motion as recommended by Mr. Hugg. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that he thought that, as part of the motion, Council needed to take some action in regard to the occupant. Mr. Slavin stated that Council could entertain a second motion on that action, rather than make an amendment.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 19 Mr. Hare called the question, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes (Anderson, Sudler, Lewis, Polce, Hare, Lindell, and Slavin) and two (2) no (Neil, and Cole). The motion to refer this item to the Council Committee of the Whole/Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee failed by a roll call vote of six (6) no (Neil, Cole, Polce, Hare, Lindell, and Slavin) and three (3) yes (Anderson, Sudler, and Lewis). REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 951 WHITE OAK ROAD - FIRST READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2018-10 A request was received to rezone property located at 951 White Oak Road, consisting of 1.1152+/- acres, owned by Hansen White Oak Partners, LLC. The property is currently zoned C-PO (Commercial and Professional Office) and the proposed zoning is IO (Institutional and Office). Prior to amending the zoning ordinance and zoning map of the City of Dover, a public hearing is required. Mr. Hare moved to refer the request to the Planning Commission on October 15, 2018 and set a public hearing for November 13, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2018-10 as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows: Ordinance #2018-10 Amending the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map of the City of Dover by Changing the Zoning Designation of Property Located at 951 White Oak Road. CITY MANAGER'S ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Kirby Hudson, Assistant City Manager, announced two (2) upcoming events sponsored by The Friends of Old Dover: an illustrative talk by Mr. Will Parkhurst, entitled “Stately Homes of State Street” being held on Saturday, September 29, 2018, from 10:00 a.m. to noon, in the Council Chambers, and an illustrative talk by Mr. William Torbert, entitled “Funeral Homes and Cemeteries of Dover” being held on Saturday, October 27, 2018, from 10:00 a.m. to noon. Mr. Hudson stated that an event in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month would be held on Saturday, October 6, 2018, from noon to 4:00 p.m. at the Dover Public Library. COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Slavin wished Councilman Sudler a happy birthday on September 28th. Mr. Lewis reported that he had the pleasure of attending Open Streets Dover on Sunday, September 16th, which was held in conjunction with Restore Central Dover. He stated that he thought it was well received by the community, and noted that he also saw Councilman Anderson in attendance. Mr. Anderson stated that he agreed with Mr. Lewis’ comments.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 PAGE 20 Mr. Anderson expressed his thanks to the City, Mayor, Council, and City staff, particularly the Dover Police Department, for the work done to bring awareness toward education, and prevention regarding the issue of addiction. He stated that the past two (2) weeks had been very positive and the work done by the City had brought many members of the community together. Mr. Anderson also expressed his thanks to Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, and Mr. Jason Lyon, Water/Wastewater Manager, for the research they provided regarding the issues related to the drainage ditches, ponds, and stormwater ponds in the Woodcrest area. He stated that the research regarding ownership had been quite valuable. Mr. Anderson expressed appreciation to Capital School District for agreeing with Mr. Sudler to hold a workshop regarding this matter. Mr. Sudler announced that a meeting would be held on October 2nd, at 5:30 p.m., in the City Hall Caucus Room, with the Capital School Board President and other Board members to discuss the retention pond at Woodcrest. Mr. Polce congratulated Police Chief Marvin Mailey on becoming the new President of the Delaware Police Chiefs’ Council. He stated that it is a tremendous opportunity to have the City’s Police Chief lead all the police chiefs and work in a collaborative way across the state. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:23 p.m. TRACI A.

EXHIBIT #1 Regular Council Meeting of 09/24/2018 CITY OF DOVER ORDINANCE #2018-01 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: That Chapter 66 - Manufactured Homes, Mobile Homes, and Land Lease Communities of the Dover Code be amended to read as follows: Chapter 66 - MANUFACTURED HOMES, MOBILE HOMES, AND LAND LEASE COMMUNITIES Sec. 66-1. - Purpose Statement. The City of Dover recognizes that manufactured homes are a unique housing type with their own history of placement and ownership traditions arising from their origins as mobile homes. A modern manufactured home does not resemble a vehicle, and once placed is rarely moved. However, most manufactured homes are owned as if they were vehicles, separate from the land they are placed on, and may theoretically be moved at any time. Because of this the city recognizes that consistent standards are needed for placement, licensing, and tracking of manufactured homes, in order to ensure the homes' orderly movement into, out of, and around the city. The city further recognizes that land lease communities, which may give ground lease to manufactured homes or other types of housing, typify a use of land which does not align perfectly with either apartments or residential subdivisions. Because of this, areas of responsibility on the part of residents, owners, and the city with regard to maintenance, communication, and taxation can be unclear without the adoption of consistent standards governing these areas of responsibility. The city recognizes that where responsibility is not clearly claimed detrimental conditions can arise for residents. This chapter therefore lays out consistent standards needed for manufactured homes and land lease communities, while updating and consolidating earlier city regulations regarding mobile homes and mobile home parks. The standards are intended to be applicable to all land lease communities currently in the city or which may be established in the future. They are also intended to cover both manufactured homes and permanently placed manufactured homes, and the issues unique to each. They are intended to supplement, rather than replace, all state laws regulating manufactured homes, including but not limited to those found in Title 25, Chapter 70, and Title 24, Chapter 44 of the Delaware Code. Sec. 66-2. - Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning: Land lease community means a residential development typified by single ownership of the land within the development, with the landowner retaining the rights of ownership. Home sites or individual lots within the community are leased to individual homeowners, who retain customary leasehold rights. A manufactured home park is considered a type, but not the only type, of land lease community.

(Draft Minutes attached) Overview This rezoning application consists of three parcels of land (133 and 135 Roosevelt Avenue share one parcel) totaling of 0.828 acres of area. The property is currently zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone). The proposed zoning classification is RG-2 (General Residence Zone). The properties known as127, 129, 133, and 135 Roosevelt are situated on the north side of Roosevelt Avenue east of South DuPont Highway. The owner of record is The Clyde Corporation. The equitable owner is Miller Investments, LLC. Tax Parcels: ED-05-077.18-02-71.00-000, ED-05- 077.18-02-72.00-000, and ED-05-077.18-02-73.00-000. Existing Property: The subject property area consists of three parcels of land and includes four (4) existing buildings. Two (2) of the buildings are single family detached dwellings. Two (2) of the buildings have been converted to apartment units; one building consists of six units and the other building consists of two units. The applicant is seeking rezoning to allow for future development of the properties with a Garden Apartment Building. Redevelopment of the site will be subject to a separate application submission. Surrounding Land Uses: The surrounding uses vary on the north side of Roosevelt Avenue. Immediately west of the subject area is a property zoned C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zone) and then properties zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) including a carwash and a multi-tenant building that fronts on DuPont Highway. To the east, are residential properties zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) and MH (Manufactured Home Zone) with multiple manufactured homes. On the south side of Roosevelt Avenue, after the C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) property of the automobile dealership, there are a series of properties with R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone) zoning with single family detached houses and a theater guild facility. At the east end of Roosevelt Avenue is an apartment complex zoned RG-2 (General Residence Zone). Comprehensive Plan: In the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1 as amended, dated March 2012) recommends that this property be used for Residential Medium Density. The following is an excerpt from the Comprehensive Plan (page 146-147): Recommendation for Medium Density Residential Medium density residential land uses involve a maximum gross density of eight (8) dwelling units per acre. This type of development may include single family houses on smaller lots, duplexes, townhouses, and some apartments. Some mobile home park developments would also be considered medium density. Medium density residential uses are permitted in the following zoning districts: R-8 (One Family Residence), R-7

No. 2015-13, 10-12-2015 ) Recommendation of the Planning Staff: Staff recommends that the rezoning be granted as requested, as the proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the Residential Medium Density land use classification. Even in the RG-2 zone, the uses of the R-8 continue to be allowed. In the RG-2 zone, the additional dwelling types of garden apartments are permitted uses and duplexes, townhouses, and multiple dwellings are conditional uses. The bulk standards of RG-2 and other development requirements will limit the density (number of units per area). This segment of Roosevelt Avenue is a mix of types of housing options. Recommendation of the Planning Commission: Following a Public Hearing before the Planning Commission on September 17, 2018, where the application’s representative (Mr. David Miller of Miller Investments LLC) and one member of the public spoke regarding the proposed rezoning, the Planning Commission recommended in favor of the rezoning as proposed (8-0) with one member absent. See the included excerpt of the DRAFT Meeting Minutes of the September 17, 2018 Planning Commission meeting. The comments received from the other member agencies of the Development Advisory Committee (D.A.C.) are also provided. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any rezoning application does not represent Site Development Plan or Record Plan approval. A separate Site Development Plan must be submitted and approved if redevelopment activities are proposed on the property. 2) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any rezoning application does not represent a Demolition Permit, Building Permit or other construction activity permit approval. A separate application submission is required before issuance of permits by the City of Dover. 3) Currently, the dwelling units on these parcels participate in the Rental Dwelling Permit program. This annual permit is required of residential rental units in the City. If the ownership of the property changes, then the new owners must reapply for Rental Dwelling Permits and may be subject to Annual Housing Inspections by Code Enforcement Staff.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION September 17, 2018 Excerpt from Meeting Minutes – Draft The Regular Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Monday, September 17, 2018 at 7:00 PM in the City Hall Council Chambers with Chairman Mr. Tolbert presiding. Members present were Mr. Holden, Mr. Roach, Ms. Edwards, Mr. Holt, Mr. Baldwin, Mrs. Welsh, Ms. Maucher and Mr. Tolbert. Dr. Jones was absent. Staff members present were Mr. Dave Hugg, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Eddie Diaz, Mr. Julian Swierczek, Mrs. Tracey Harvey and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney. 1) Z-18-01 Lands of the Clyde Corporation at 127, 129, 133 and 135 Roosevelt Avenue – Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council for rezoning of three parcels of land (133 and 135 Roosevelt Avenue share one parcel) totaling 0.83 +/- acres located on the north side of Roosevelt Avenue east of South DuPont Highway. The property area is zoned R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone). The proposed zoning is RG-2 (General Residence Zone). The owner of record is The Clyde Corporation. Property Addresses: 127, 129, 133 and 135 Roosevelt Avenue. Tax Parcels: ED-05-077.18-02-71.00-000, ED-05- 077.18-02-72.00-000, and ED-05-077.18-02-73.00-000. Council District 2. Ordinance #2018-08. For this zoning map amendment, the First Reading was completed on August 27, 2018 and Final Reading/Public Hearing is scheduled for October 8, 2018 before City Council. Representatives: Mr. David Miller, Miller Investments LLC Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is a request for rezoning. It is a series of three parcels of land. It actually has four addresses: 127, 129, 133 and 135 Roosevelt Avenue. Those correspond with the existing buildings that are on these three properties. Currently, there are two single family detached dwellings and then two buildings that consist of multiple apartment units. Currently, the property is zoned R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone) and the request is for rezoning to RG-2 (General Residence Zone). Their request for rezoning is to necessitate a zoning classification that would allow for apartment uses for the future redevelopment of the land area for a garden apartment building. Any future redevelopment would be subject to its own separate review and application process. With any rezoning, they also look to their Comprehensive Plan for the City. Specifically, the Land Development Plan Map for this property area recommends that it be used for Residential Medium Density as a land use classification. There are a series of zoning districts that fit that requirement and RG-2 (General Residence Zone) is one of them. Some of the types of uses that are allowed in that zone do include the uses permitted in the R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone). So things like single family detached houses would continue to be allowed in the zone as well as garden apartments. Through the Conditional Use process in the RG-2 (General Residence Zone), there are a number of residential activities that could occur: townhouses, duplexes and multiple dwelling type units. With this, the Planning Commission is making a recommendation on the rezoning only. Any future development as noted would be subject to other applications. This did go through the Development Advisory Committee process. At this point, most of the reviewing agencies have no objection to rezoning. A number of them Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting of September 17, 2018 Page 1 of 3

provided some advisory comments about future redevelopment of the site and how they may need to be working with those individual agencies. Mr. Miller stated that his objective here is to obviously beautify the neighborhood. It’s an old 1925 structure currently on the property so they are looking to build a new residential apartment complex to service the community for their needs. Mr. Tolbert opened a public hearing. Mr. Mark Newman – 124 & 126 Roosevelt Avenue Dover, DE 19901 Mr. Newman stated that he doesn’t know what is coming for these properties. Roosevelt Avenue is a dead-end street with one way in and one way out. On that street, there is the Shore Car Wash, Hertrich Dealership, a day care center, the Kent County Theater Guild and two trailer parks. At the end of the road, there is an eighty-unit apartment complex. As you can see, on this short road they have a lot going on and he doesn’t know how much more the street can support. His major concern is what exactly the plans are and how it’s going to impact the street. There is on-street parking. Shore Car Wash backs up onto Roosevelt Avenue. He is just concerned about how many more units; will it be ten, thirty or forty more units? At some point the street is going to reach the maximum number. Mr. Tolbert questioned if Mr. Newman was speaking for all of the residents in the area? Responding to Mr. Tolbert, Mr. Newman stated that he is speaking for himself; he doesn’t know what other people feel. Mr. Tolbert questioned if Mr. Newman had spoken to DelDOT? Responding to Mr. Tolbert, Mr. Newman stated that he hasn’t spoken to anyone; he received a letter and showed up here. He intends to do whatever he can do. Mr. Tolbert stated that for traffic problems he would suggest that Mr. Newman speaks to DelDOT. Responding to Mr. Tolbert, Mr. Newman stated that this is just everyday living. If you have eighty units at a dead-end street with one way in and one way out, that is a lot of cars. You have constant traffic. It is an everyday traffic problem. There is absolutely nothing that they can do. His concern is what is the future of this street. Mr. Tolbert closed the public hearing. Ms. Edwards questioned if Mr. Miller has an answer to Mr. Newman’s question in refence to what the plans are for the complex? Responding to Ms. Edwards, Mr. Miller stated that at this point they have been working with the City to determine the number of units that they would actually allow on the property. All of their plans that they would be able to get approved would obviously have to conform to those guidelines. He believes that they require two parking spaces per unit. His attempt is to try to get all of those parking spaces to be covered on the site so that there is no additional off-street parking. Ms. Maucher asked Planning Staff what the maximum potential of this property is? Responding to Ms. Maucher, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that trying to figure that out is always tricky Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting of September 17, 2018 Page 2 of 3

Page 49

because it is a balancing act between the number of units for an apartment complex which then translates to the size of building. There are some limitations on the number of stories. Parking is at a rate per unit and really, it ends up at 2.25 parking spaces per dwelling unit because there is also an accommodation for visitor space that would have to be accommodated on-site. Also, there are setbacks from property lines and other requirements for dealing with stormwater management. There are a number of things that go into the decision of how many units you could design for the site. With the RG-2 (General Residence Zone) zoning district for an apartment complex, there are requirements of minimum lot area per dwelling unit. For RG-2 (General Residence Zone), that would be 1,700 SF of lot area per dwelling unit, so the overall size of the property does set a threshold there but then its balancing all of the design requirements that also comes into play. You may not be able to achieve that full lot area per dwelling unit calculation. The RG-2 (General Residence Zone) would be limited to three stories, forty-five feet and there is also a lot coverage maximum too. In trying to accommodate the building and parking on the site, you are limited that way as well. There are a number of variables that go into potentially how many dwelling units. The concepts that Staff has seen and these are all subject to future application should the property be rezoned, they are looking at somewhere potentially in the 20- 24 unit range. We are talking about a site that is less than an acre in size. Mr. Holden stated that the specific task in front of the Commission is a Rezoning and not a Site Plan. Some of Mr. Newman’s concerns may be better addressed when we have a Site Plan in front of us that we could speak to the actual impact. The other challenge is our ability to weigh the rights of individual property owners to do what others have been allowed to do on their property; so, we have to find some balance there. He has been up and down the street and he does acknowledge that there is a stop light there at the highway so there are some benefits that other streets don’t have. The way to address that is both at a Site Plan Planning Commission Hearing and talking to DelDOT about expressing the concerns to the City about specific traffic concerns, if it’s speeding or parking or other. Those are certainly valid concerns to try to address. There is a lot that we try to balance so if those things are important to you and you have those concerns to certainly explore those opportunities. They at times do find beneficial solutions to help resident concerns. Mr. Holden moved to recommend approval to City Council for Z-18-01 Lands of the Clyde Corporation at 127, 129, 133 and 135 Roosevelt Avenue (for rezoning to RG-2) due to its compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and its similar growth opportunities to near properties, seconded by Mr. Holt and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Dr. Jones absent. Mr. Holden voting yes; due to previous comments and Staff recommendation. Mr. Roach voting yes; for Staff comments in regards to this petition. Ms. Edwards voting yes; based on Staff recommendation and previously stated remarks. Mr. Holt voting yes; based on Staff recommendations. Mr. Baldwin voting yes. Mrs. Welsh voting yes.

Planning Commission A statement from the applicant was read at the meeting. (He Recommendation: was unable to attend due to out-of-state work commitment.) Following a public hearing on September 17, 2018, where no members of the public spoke regarding the proposed annexation and rezoning, the Planning Commission voted in favor of the annexation with the proposed R-8 zoning with eight (8) votes in favor and no votes in opposition (one member absent). Summary This application is for the annexation and rezoning of a parcel of land totaling 1.37 acres +/- located at 179 Mifflin Road. The property is currently zoned RS-1 (Single Family Residential Zone) in Kent County. The proposed zoning is R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone). The property is located on the east side of Mifflin Road and south of but not adjacent to Woodmill Drive. Tax Parcel: ED-00-076.10-01-32.00-000. Existing Property The property is located on the east side of Mifflin Road and south of but not adjacent to Woodmill Drive. The property includes an existing one-story building constructed as a residence. The property is currently RS-1 (Single Family Residential District) in Kent County. It is the only parcel on the east side of Mifflin Road that is not within the City. There is no designated curbed entrance to the site and no sidewalk system along the street frontage. Surrounding Land Uses Immediately surrounding uses on this east side of Mifflin Road are other one-family residences on properties zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone). To the west, across Mifflin Road are additional one-family residences; however, several of the properties are not within the City. This property is south of the roundabout intersection of Mifflin Road with Woodmill Drive. To the east is the Woodmill Apartment complex zoned RG-2 (General Residence Zone). Comprehensive Plan In the 2008 Comprehensive Plan (as amended), the Potential Annexation Areas (Map 13 -1) identifies the property in the Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas. The Growth and Annexation Plan Chapter (Chapter 13) notes that “Lands in this category are primarily enclaves of unincorporated territory mostly surrounded by the City of Dover. In all or most of these cases, the City provides these parcels with one or more essential service (sewer, water, police, fire, trash).” For Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas, it notes in the Recommendation that “the City will not extend sewer and/or water infrastructure to Category 1 areas unless the property owners annex into the City” with consideration given for issues of health, safety and welfare. The Comprehensive Plan also sets the review criteria for the review of zoning for parcels being proposed for annexation. Chapter 13, pages 170-171 note that the Zoning Review may include: • Proposed zoning be in compliance with the land use category shown on Map 13-2 and used in conjunction with Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix;

Page 62

AX-18-02 Lands of Steven E. Andrew at 179 Mifflin Road Planning Commission Recommendation Report of September 17, 2018 Page 3 of 7 • Character and compatibility of the surrounding land uses and properties; • The street type and capacity serving the property; • Environmental concerns and conditions that may influence land use and zoning; • Market concerns and conditions; • The compatibility with the overall goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Map 13-2: Potential Land Use for Annexation Areas identifies the Land Use for this property to be Low Density Residential. As part of the Land Development Plan, Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix specifies that the following zones are compatible with this land use classification of Low Density Residential.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION September 17, 2018 Excerpt from Meeting Minutes – Draft The Regular Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Monday, September 17, 2018 at 7:00 PM in the City Hall Council Chambers with Chairman Mr. Tolbert presiding. Members present were Mr. Holden, Mr. Roach, Ms. Edwards, Mr. Holt, Mr. Baldwin, Mrs. Welsh, Ms. Maucher and Mr. Tolbert. Dr. Jones was absent. Staff members present were Mr. Dave Hugg, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Eddie Diaz, Mr. Julian Swierczek, Mrs. Tracey Harvey and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney. AX-18-02 Lands of Steven E. Andrew at 179 Mifflin Road – Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council on an Annexation Request and Rezoning Request for a parcel of land totaling 1.37 acres +/- located at 179 Mifflin Road. The property is currently zoned RS-1 (Single Family Residential Zone) in Kent County. The proposed zoning is R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone). The property is located on the east side of Mifflin Road and south of but not adjacent to Woodmill Drive. The annexation category according to Dover’s 2008 Comprehensive Plan is Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas and the land use designation is Low Density Residential. The owner of Steven E. Andrew. Property Address: 179 Mifflin Road. Tax Parcel: ED-00-076.10-01-32.00-000. Proposed Council District 1. Ordinance #2018-09. For this Annexation request, the First Reading was completed on August 27, 2018 and Final Reading/Public Hearing is scheduled for October 8, 2018 before City Council. Representatives: None Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Planning Staff was alerted that Mr. Andrew is on a work assignment in Massachusetts. She has a contact number should we need to contact him for a particular question. She also has a statement to read into the record that he provided. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is an annexation and rezoning request for the property at 179 Mifflin Road. The property is 1.37 acres in size. It is currently part of Kent County and has a zoning classification of RS-1 (Single Family Residential Zone). They are seeking annexation into the City of Dover and with that a zoning district of R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone). With annexations, they are also looking at what the Comprehensive Plan says. In this regard, this property area is identified on the Potential Annexations Area Map of the Comprehensive Plan as a Category 1 High Priority Annexation Area which are areas that are mostly surrounded by the City. This is the only property on the east side of Mifflin Road in this block that is not currently in the City. They also look to the Comprehensive Plan Land Development Plan Map for information about potential land use for the property. On that map, we find that in this case it is proposed for Low Density Residential land use classification and the R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone) that this property has requested fits that. The main use in the R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone) is a one family detached dwelling. This property actually does contain such a unit already. The parcel that is closest to Mifflin Road is where the house is located and that is the property that is not in the City. To the rear is also another parcel of land owned by the same owner which includes a garage facility and that property is already in the City. Planning Staff is Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting of September 17, 2018 Page 1 of 2

Page 75

recommending annexation of the property and rezoning to the R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone). The DAC member agencies provided comments, having no objections to the proposed annexation. Some of them provided some guidance about once within the City about service provisions and making sure your house has it’s address numbers on it and the like. Mr. Tolbert opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the public hearing. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she wanted to read into the record, the statement that was received from Mr. Andrew since he was unable to attend this evening’s meeting. A copy was provided to the Commission. The letter states: “Dear Commission Members, I Steven E. Andrew submit this Annexation and Rezoning request AX-18-02 for my parcel of land totaling 1.3 acres at 179 Mifflin Road Dover, DE. The property is currently zoned RS-1 (Single Family Residential Zone) in Kent County and the requested future zoning is R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone) to coincide with the surrounding properties. The property is located on the east side of Mifflin Road and south of but not adjacent to Woodmill Drive. The annexation category according to the Dover’s 2008 Comprehensive Plan is Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas and the land use designation is Low Density Residential. Once annexed, this parcel which contains my residence, pool area and garden shed will match the zoning of my rear property which is currently zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) and is located in the City limits. This annexation will also alleviate the confusion with Police support and waste removal as with the current zoning. I have read the draft DAC Report dated August 29, 2018 along with the application review commentary dated September 5, 2018 and agree. Thank you for your time and consideration of this request.” Mrs. Welsh moved to recommend approval to City Council for AX-18-02 Lands of Steven E. Andrew at 179 Mifflin Road to change the zoning from RS-1 (Single Family Residential Zone) to R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone), seconded by Mr. Holt. Mr. Holden questioned if they needed to recommend both annexation and rezoning? Responding to Mr. Holden, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that they can certainly recommend both. It’s an annexation and rezoning request so you can reference both. Mrs. Welsh moved to recommend approval to City Council for AX-18-02 Lands of Steven E. Andrew at 179 Mifflin Road for annexation into the City and to change the zoning from RS-1 (Single Family Residential Zone) to R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone), seconded by Mr. Holt and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Dr. Jones absent. Mr. Holden voting yes; due to Staff comments and compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Roach voting yes. Ms. Edwards voting yes; for reasons previously stated and it makes sense that both properties of his will be zoned the same. Mr. Holt voting yes; due to Staff recommendations and the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; based on Staff’s recommendation and that it’s a good fit. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; for reasons stated in the motion. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Tolbert voting yes; it makes sense and will make things a lot easier for the authorities in Dover. Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting of September 17, 2018 Page 2 of 2

1 The Office of State Planning Coordination has final discretion and is available to help your municipality evaluate whether specific parcels meet these guidelines or merit additional consideration due to unusual boundary configurations or other special factors. An enclave is defined for the purpose of evaluating this Plan of Services as an individual lot, piece or parcel of land, a group of parcels or an entire subdivision of record; where a. the boundaries are not less than 50% contiguous with the boundaries of an annexing municipal corporation; and which is designated by the municipality’s most recent certified comprehensive plan as an annexation area; and b. is lawfully accessible by vehicular traffic over lands lying within the annexing municipal corporation; and c. is receiving public services such as water, sewer, electric, police protection, fire protection or trash collection, from the said municipal corporation, its municipal electric company, or any water and/or sewer authority of which the said municipal corporation is a member; or d. in addition to item B, is not currently receiving public services but will have available such public services as are provided to other properties within the annexing municipal corporation whether by the said municipal corporation, its municipal electric company, any water and/or sewer authority of which the said municipal corporation is a member, or by a public utility regulated by the Delaware Public Service Commission. 2 Enterprise funds, typically for municipal utilities, are financed by user fees for the utilities. The purpose of enterprise funds is to provide services to consumers at a price that will cover both the current cost of operations and the maintenance and financing of necessary capital assets. Provisions of the Delaware Code Applicable to Annexations Title 22 § 101 Annexation by city or town Any city or town proposing to extend its boundaries, irrespective of any municipal charter provisions, whether such extension is proposed by action of the General Assembly or pursuant to the provisions of a home rule charter, except any proposed annexation that has been submitted to the Office of State Planning Coordination prior to the effective date of this Act for review, shall conform to the following provisions: (a) All annexations must be consistent with the most recently adopted municipal comprehensive plan meeting the requirements of Title 22, Chapter 7, Delaware Code. The area(s) being considered must be depicted as area(s) for future annexation on the adopted plan. If a municipality does not have an adopted comprehensive plan, or if its adopted comprehensive plan does not depict areas for future annexation, it shall prepare and adopt a plan or plan amendment within 12 months of the effective date of this Act. The municipality shall not approve any annexations until such plan or plan amendment is adopted, notwithstanding any other charter provisions; except that during the 12- month period a municipality may consider an annexation of already developed parcels where the proposed use(s) will not change from that currently authorized in the adjacent jurisdiction and where the primary purpose of the annexation is to address existing public health or safety issues such as, but not limited to, failing on-site wastewater disposal systems or contaminated or inadequate drinking water. In such cases the provisions of §101(b) through (f) of this section shall not apply. (b) A city or town shall prepare a plan of services indicating those services it expects to provide to the newly annexed area, how such services will be provided, and the fiscal and operating capabilities of the municipality to provide such services. Should any services be provided by another jurisdiction or a public utility regulated by the Delaware Public Service Commission, the written comments of such provider on the provider's ability to provide the necessary services for the proposed annexation shall be obtained and included in the plan of services. The study shall be conducted in accordance with standards or criteria established by the Cabinet Committee on State Planning Issues as administered 6

Page 82

by the Office of State Planning Coordination. (c) At the time of annexation the jurisdiction shall by ordinance rezone the area being annexed to a zoning classification consistent with the adopted comprehensive plan or development strategy. (d) A municipality proposing annexation must fully comply with the provisions of Chapter 92, Title 29, Delaware Code as to State notice, and must demonstrate that it has notified all other affected jurisdictions, conducted a public hearing, and provided a comment period of at least 30 days before formal annexation. The city or town proposing annexation shall file with the State Office of Planning Coordination any written comments received concerning such proposed annexation together with any response(s) thereto. (e) The Advisory Council on Planning Coordination shall establish a mechanism for resolving disputes between jurisdictions regarding annexations. The mechanism developed by the Council shall address: determination of how the costs for the dispute resolution process are born among the parties; timeline for the dispute resolution process; and extent to which the dispute resolution process will be enforceable. Title 22 § 702. Comprehensive development plan (a) A planning commission established by any incorporated municipality under this chapter shall prepare a comprehensive plan for the city or town or portions thereof as the commission deems appropriate. It is the purpose of this section to encourage the most appropriate uses of the physical and fiscal resources of the municipality and the coordination of municipal growth, development and infrastructure investment actions with those of other municipalities, counties and the State through a process of municipal comprehensive planning. (b) Comprehensive plan means a document in text and maps, containing at a minimum, a municipal development strategy setting forth the jurisdiction's position on population and housing growth within the jurisdiction, expansion of its boundaries, development of adjacent areas, redevelopment potential, community character, and the general uses of land within the community, and critical community development and infrastructure issues. The comprehensive planning process shall demonstrate coordination with other municipalities, the county and the State during plan preparation. The comprehensive plan for municipalities of greater than 2,000 population shall also contain, as appropriate to the size and character of the jurisdiction, a description of the physical, demographic and economic conditions of the jurisdiction; as well as policies, statements, goals and planning components for public and private uses of land, transportation, economic development, affordable housing, community facilities, open spaces and recreation, protection of sensitive areas, community design, adequate water and wastewater systems, protection of historic and cultural resources, annexation and such other elements which in accordance with present and future needs, in the judgment of the municipality, best promotes the health, safety, prosperity and general public welfare of the jurisdiction's residents. (c) The comprehensive plan shall be the basis for the development of zoning regulations as permitted pursuant to Chapter 3 of this title. (d) After a comprehensive plan or portion thereof has been adopted by the municipality in accordance to this chapter, the comprehensive plan shall have the force of law and no development shall be permitted except as consistent with the plan. (e) At least every 5 years a municipality shall review its adopted comprehensive plan to determine if its provisions are still relevant given changing conditions in the municipality or in the surrounding areas. The adopted comprehensive plan shall be revised, updated and amended as necessary, and re-adopted at least every 10 years. (f) Municipalities shall file their adopted comprehensive plan with the Office of State Planning 7

Coordination within 90 days of the effective date of this section, and within 90 days after any re- adoption or revision, update or amendment thereto.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole met on September 25, 2018 at 6:01 p.m., with Council President Slavin presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Lindell. Mr. Lewis was absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Garfinkel (Safety Advisory and Transportation), and Mrs. Doyle and Ms. Scarborough (Utility). Mr. Shelton (Safety Advisory and Transportation) was absent. Council President Slavin offered a moment of silence for former Mayor and Councilman John“Jack” Richter and his family. SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met with Council President Slavin presiding in the absence of Chairman Lewis. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hare moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Request for Waiver - Appendix B - Zoning, Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations, Section 17 - Emergency Access Requirements - Waiver of Emergency Rear Access Requirements - 35 and 39 North New Street (Planning Reference Number SB-18-03) Mr. David Hugg III, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed a Petition to Waive Zoning Ordinance Provision: Elimination of Emergency Access Requirements for 35 and 39 North New Street. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Waiver for the Elimination of the Emergency Rear Access requirement for a sixteen-foot alley, with the understanding that the applicant will satisfy the Fire Marshal’s concerns. Responding to Mr. Neil’s question regarding what would happen if the property owner did not take protective measures, Mr. Hugg stated that the property owner had committed to the Planning Staff and Fire Marshal that he would take appropriate fire prevention, and explained that the Fire Marshal would take action. Mr. Hugg advised that the property owner would most likely install residential sprinklers, as proposed on the submitted plans. Mr. Neil noted that he did not see an egress or escape mechanism other than the standard doorway and asked if there was a back doorway. In response, Mr. Hugg stated that he did not believe that there was a back doorway. He explained there is no rear access because of the configuration of the lots and they have several cross-access arrangements to accommodate the parking for the three (3) townhouses. Mr. Hugg stated that one of the lots is accessible from a City alley, however, there is not direct access to the back of the units.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2018 PAGE 2 Mayor Christiansen stated that he liked the concept of the residential fire sprinkler system and thought that it might be something that the City would want to heartily encourage in the future. He indicated that he thought that, based on the configuration of these properties, a residential fire sprinkler system would be an ideal way to suppress a fire before the Fire Department gets there. In response, Mr. Hugg stated that this is not something that the City deals with on a regular basis, however, he thought that there were some properties in the Senator’s Lake development that had the same limitation and were sprinklered. He stated that this is the recommendation of the Fire Marshal. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of the Planning Commission’s recommendation for approval of the Waiver for the Elimination of the Emergency Rear Access requirement for a sixteen-foot alley, with the understanding that the applicant will satisfy the Fire Marshal’s concerns. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried with Mr. Anderson voting no. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:07 p.m. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Cole presiding. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hare moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Proposals - Underground Utility Locating Services Mr. James Robinson, Electric Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of proposals for Underground Utility Locating Services. Staff recommended awarding a one (1) year contract with the option for two (2) one (1) year extensions to W Locco, LLC as per the proposal submitted in response to RFP #19-0004COD. Mrs. Doyle noted that there was a big difference in the rate proposals and asked if staff knew why W Locco, LLC’s rates were almost half of what the other company proposed. Responding, Mr. Robinson stated that he was unable to answer that question because he did not do the evaluation, it was done by Mr. Jason Lyon, Water/Wastewater Manager. Mr. Robinson noted that he found it interesting that it was the same differential that occurred last time. Mr. Sudler stated that he thought that the scope and specifications were similar for both requests and stated that he would also like additional information regarding the cost differential. Mr. Robinson stated that he was not familiar with the two (2) entities, however, he would follow up regarding the requested information. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the Council Committee of the Whole/Utility Committee meeting of September 25, 2018, Mr. Jason Lyon, Water/Wastewater Manager, advised that the two (2) firms were fully aware of the scope of work. He explained that W Locco, LLC pays their

Page 90

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2018 PAGE 3 locators a lot less money and their benefit package is not as robust, therefore, their overhead is lower.) Mr. Hare moved to recommend awarding a one (1) year contract with the option for two (2) one (1) year extensions to W Locco, LLC as per the proposal submitted in response to RFP #19-0004COD, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Mr. Anderson moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.
