PETITION TO ANNEX AND REZONE PROPERTY Before the Dover City Council Committee of the Whole – Utility Committee January 29, 2019 File Number: AX-19-01 Ordinance Number: 2019-01 Applicants: New Wind Properties 2920 LLC Franchise Management Services, Inc. Owner of Record: New Wind Properties 2920 LLC Property Address: 2920 North DuPont Highway, Dover DE Tax Parcel ID #: ED-00-057.02-01-08.00-000 Lot Size: 0.57 acres Present Zoning: BG (General Business Zone) Proposed Zoning: C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) Comprehensive Plan Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas Designation: Comprehensive Plan Commercial Land Use Designation: Present Use: Vacant Commercial Building Proposed Use: Restaurant with drive-thru (Dunkin Donuts per proposed redevelopment plan submitted to Kent County) Utility Availability: Electric: 2920 North Dupont Highway is currently served by City of Dover Electric. Water and Sanitary Sewer: 2920 North DuPont Highway is not currently served by City of Dover Water or Sanitary Sewer. Currently, the property is served by an on-site well and septic system. Water and Sanitary Sewer are only available on the opposite side of Route 13, this property is situated on the eastern side of the road. Staff has discussed the utility situation with the

Page 4

Applicant. The developer understands that they will have to obtain DelDOT / City of Dover approval to connect the sanitary sewer on the opposite side of Route 13. This is critical as utility crossings of Route 13 are strongly discouraged by DelDOT and only approved with special approval by District Public Works. The City will allow the property to continue to operate the existing well until it fails, at that point, they will be required to connect to the City’s water distribution system. The property owner would be responsible for the costs associated with tapping the sanitary sewer and/or water mains, extending services to the property, payment of impact fees, and obtaining permits. Staff Recommendation: The Electric Department has no objection to the annexation. The Department of Public Works recommends that the Sanitary Sewer connection strategy be resolved prior to annexation.
