DISTINGUISHED BUDGET AWARD
The Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the Fiscal Year beginning July 1, 2009, from the

Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer), who played a major role in the preparation of the document. She
also thanked Ms. Hollie Ford, Administrative Assistant, for her diligent work and effort in the
preparation of the budget.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 2
PUBLIC HEARING - ELECTRIC FUND BUDGET
A public hearing on the Electric Revenue Fund Budget is required for compliance with Section 505
of the 1993 Electric Revenue Refunding Bond Issue (Refunding 1985 Electric Revenue Bond) prior
to adoption of the budget. Notice of the public hearing was properly advertised for this time and
place.
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, announced that the proposed Electric Fund budget for the
Fiscal Year beginning July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011 proposes $110,118,113 in revenues and
expenses, which includes a $2M power cost adjustment to be credited back to customers. The
adjustment would be reflected in the billings for July as a .0028 credit per kWh, which would create
a $33.00 per year reduction in electric rates for an average home in the City. He noted that the
budget also includes $8,744,651 in the fund balance to meet policy requirements in this regard and
an $8,856,000 transfer to the Electric Fund.
Council President Hogan declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to
speak during the public hearing, Council President Hogan declared the public hearing closed.
No further action was taken. Council President Hogan noted that the First Reading of the Budget
Ordinances will take place during the latter part of the meeting and that the Final Reading and
adoption of the Ordinances are scheduled for the Regular Council Meeting of June 28, 2010.
PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2010-12 - ZONING
TEXT AMENDMENTS
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider approval of proposed land
and zoning text amendments that propose to create a Recreation and Open Space (ROS) Zone that
would be applied to City parks, protected open space, recreation areas within residential
developments, and other areas identified as “Open Space” within the Land Development Plan.
Mr. Salters moved that the Final Reading of the proposed zoning text amendment be
acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. McGiffin and unanimously carried. (The First
Reading of the Ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of April 26, 2010.)
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members
that staff developed the Proposed Ordinance as an implementation measure associated with the 2008
Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zone would be applied to areas shown as Open Space on the
Land Development Plan of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Mrs. Townshend explained that the
proposed amendment would adopt the permitted uses, conditional uses, bulk standards, and design
requirements for the proposed zone. In developing the Proposed Ordinance, she stated that staff
reviewed the Land Development Plan to ensure that the uses permitted and bulk standards set forth
are consistent with the areas where the zone will ultimately be applied.
Members were advised that the rezoning of properties will require separate action by the Planning
Commission and City Council. Mrs. Townshend noted that the text amendment creating the
Recreation and Open Space (ROS) Zone is the first in a two (2) phase process. Staff is currently
working on determining which properties in the City will be proposed for rezoning to this
Page 8
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 3
classification and notifying affected property owners. She indicated that staff expects to bring the
parcels proposed for rezoning forward for a First Reading at the June 28, 2010 City Council meeting.
Mrs. Townshend advised members that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
proposed amendments.
Council President Hogan declared the hearing open.
There being no one present wishing to speak during the public hearing, Council President Hogan
declared the hearing closed.
Mr. McGlumphy moved for adoption of Ordinance #2010-12 (Exhibit #1), seconded by
Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING (BUDGET HEARINGS) MINUTES OF MAY 18, 19, 20,
AND 25, 2010
The Minutes of the Special Council Meeting (Budget Hearings) of May 18, 19, 20, and 25, 2010
were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mr. Leary and bore the
written approval of Mayor Carey.
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, provided a briefing on the Budget Hearings, as follows:
Setting of Property Tax Rate for Fiscal Year 2010/2011
Mr. DePrima reminded members that the property tax rate for FY 2010/2011 was set at 0.33¢ per
$100 of assessed value and that the previous assessed value of property in the City was based on the
reassessment concluded in 2005. Based on these figures, he explained that the total tax base for the
City of Dover was projected as $2,913,538,826. Upon completion of the reevaluation in 2010,
Mr. DePrima indicated that the new assessed value for the City of Dover totals $3,093,511,459, an
increase of approximately 6%. In accordance with Delaware State Law, he advised that the City
must publish a “roll back tax rate” to account for the 6% increase, which would equate to .3108¢ per
$100 of assessed value. Mr. DePrima noted that if Council decides to levy taxes above this rate, the
City must state this change as a tax increase. He noted that the current proposed budget includes a
proposed rate increase in the amount of .3378¢ per $100 of assessed value, which equates to an
8.68% tax rate increase.
Budget Ordinances - Proposed 2010/2011
Noting that there are 22 budgets, Mr. DePrima provided a briefing on the three (3) main budgets
proposed, as follows:
General Fund, Cash Receipts and Budget - $37,709,966
Mr. DePrima noted that the General Fund meets the fund balance requirements of 8% and includes
an 8.68% increase in taxes, an increase of $5.85 for the average homeowner for monthly trash fee,
and a 3% increase in business license fee for most businesses.
Page 9
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 4
Water/Wastewater Fund - Revenue and Budget - $12,778,737
Mr. DePrima explained that the Water/Wastewater Fund includes a water increase of approximately
.11¢, a wastewater rate increase of 26%, and a new groundwater infiltration charge of $1.05 per
1,000 gallons. While these rate increases are substantial, he indicated that City of Dover rates
overall are well below the average rates for water and wastewater providers in the State of Delaware.
Electric Revenue Fund - Revenue and Budget - $110,115,281
Mr. DePrima stated that the Electric Revenue Fund includes a Power Cost Adjustment credit in the
amount of .0028¢ per kWh, which will fund approximately $2M back to rate payers and provide the
average homeowner approximately $33 per year in credits.
Budget Ordinances - Downtown Dover Business Improvement District - Cash Receipts/Budget
FY 2010-2011
Mr. DePrima reminded members that the proposed Downtown Dover Business Improvement
District, Cash Receipts and Budget, totals $52,144, which includes the setting of a tax rate for the
district. Like the property tax, he advised members that a roll back tax rate is required by Delaware
State Law. He noted that there are no proposed tax increases; therefore, adoption of the roll back
tax rate is requested. The roll back rate for Zone 1 is .0634¢ per $100; Zone 2 is .0349¢ per $100;
and Zone 3 is .0156¢ per $100.
Mr. McGlumphy noted that the proposed budget includes various salary increases for FY 2010 and
a restoration of 2009 salary increases, as well as an additional 3% increase for non-bargaining and
Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) employees. He also noted that the City is currently in negotiations
with two (2) unions, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and the
International Union of Electronic, Electrical, Salaried Machine and Furniture Workers and
Communication Workers of America (IUE-CWA). It was his understanding that the restoration of
the 2009 salaries provides a 3.5% increase for employees of the IUE-CWA, non-bargaining, and
FOP, and a 4% increase for employees of the IBEW.
Mr. McGlumphy indicated his opposition to the proposed budget, stating that he felt it was not a
sustainable budget, it compounds legacy cost, and the citizens of Dover are not in favor of it.
Responding to Council President Hogan, Mr. McGlumphy explained that when he mentioned the
“restoration” of 2009 salaries, he was referring to the cancellation of employee furloughs, which
negated salary increases in FY 2009. Mr. McGlumphy confirmed that salaries for City Council
would also be restored under the proposed budget.
Mr. McGiffin moved to accept the Council Budget Hearings Report, seconded by Mr. Salters
and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes and three (3) no (Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. Leary, and
Mrs. Williams).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 5
UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - MAY 24, 2010
The Utility Committee met on May 24, 2010 with Chairman Ruane presiding.
Request for Alley and Street Abandonments - 100 Block of North Governors Avenue Alley
West, the Southern Portion of the 200 Block of North Governors Avenue Alley East, a Portion
of the Unit Block of North Bradford Street, the Unit Block of Fulton Street, a Portion of the
Unit Block of Cecil Street, a Portion of the 200 Block of North Bradford Street, and the
Northern Portion of the Unit Block of North State Street Alley West - Wesley College
Members considered a request from Wesley College that the City abandon portions of streets and
alleys in the vicinity of Wesley College, as follows:
Area #1 - Alley between North Governors Avenue and North New Street from Cecil Street
to Fulton Street;
Area #2- Portion of alley between North Bradford Street and North Governors Avenue,
north of Cecil Street;
Area #3- North Bradford Street between W. Division and Fulton Streets (portions only);
Area #4- Fulton Street between North Governors Avenue and North State Street;
Area #5- Cecil Street between North Governors Avenue and North State (portion only);
Area #6- North Bradford Street between Cecil and Mary Streets (portions only);
Area #7- Portion of alley between North State Street and North Bradford Street, south of
Fulton Street and north of W. Division Street.
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members
that the request is being made in anticipation of implementation of the Wesley College Master Plan
for creating a more pedestrian-oriented campus. She stated that the subject property consists of
public streets owned and maintained by the City of Dover. The portions of rights-of-way requested
for abandonment are adjacent on both sides to other properties owned by Wesley College. Fulton
and Cecil Streets (Areas #4 and #5) connect North State Street with North Governors Avenue and
are conduits for through traffic between the two (2) roads. The two (2) segments of North Bradford
Street (Areas #3 and #6) that are requested for abandonment end at the college. Mrs. Townshend
noted that several alley segments are also proposed to be vacated. Members were provided a
diagram depicting the location of each of the areas.
Mrs. Townshend indicated that the Planning staff supports Wesley College’s vision of a
pedestrian-oriented campus and, should the long-term abandonment of the subject streets help
accomplish this objective, staff supports the conceptual request. However, she stated that staff
recommends that such approval be conditioned on abandonment coinciding with future site plan
approval. Because these are public streets that are part of the downtown grid system,
Mrs. Townshend stated that staff believes that Wesley and the City should consider the testimony
presented by the public on this matter, as well as a phased abandonment.
Mrs. Townshend noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the street and alley
abandonment, as requested by Wesley College. She advised members that the Planning
Commission’s motion did not reference the conditions recommended by Planning staff and requested
that these conditions be addressed by the Utility Committee. Referring to the first condition,
Mrs. Townshend indicated that the City Manager has recommended that the abandonment be linked
Page 11
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 6
to the completion of the implementation of the Wesley College site plan. She stated that the intent
is to ensure that the City maintains ownership of the subject streets and alleys until they are altered
in accordance with the site plan. Mrs. Townshend explained that the recommended conditions are
as follows:
1) Abandonment should be timed so that the City maintains ownership and
maintenance of the subject streets and alleys until site improvements
involving those areas are made, in accordance with a site plan approved by
the Planning Commission.
2) All public electric, water, wastewater, and storm sewer infrastructure must
be located within permanent utility easements, in accordance with the
recommendations set forth in the Public Utilities comments from the
Development Advisory Commission (DAC) report dated April 1, 2010
(provided to members).
Mrs. Townshend indicated that she had discussed this request with Fire Chief Sean Christiansen,
who indicated that comments from Fire Department staff will occur when the streets are actually
altered or blocked off. She stated that, if staff’s recommendation to link the abandonments with the
site plan is incorporated in the Utility Committee’s recommendation to Council, this would satisfy
the Fire Department’s concerns since they would perform a review at that time.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend assured members that the omission of the DAC
comments in the recommendation from the Planning Commission was an oversight. She noted that
the Commission’s recommendations normally include DAC comments and that it was realized after
the minutes were completed that this was not accomplished. She stated that the applicant was made
aware of the conditions.
Mr. Gregg Moore, Becker Morgan Group (representing Wesley College), noted that during the
public hearing before the Planning Commission, the applicant indicated concurrence with the
provision that no improvements, changes, or modifications would be made to any of the roadways
until the plan to create the walking campus is accepted by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Moore briefed members on the request and the plan to create a walking campus for Wesley
College (details, including maps, were provided to members). Referring to the map, he indicated
that the plan would include improvements, walkways, easements, etc. He noted that the plan, when
presented to the Planning Commission, will depict how a cul-de-sac would be created on the
property to allow emergency services into the portion of Cecil Street that will remain unchanged.
Responding to Mr. McGiffin, Mrs. Townshend stated that adjacent property owners include Wesley
College and one (1) additional property owner, and that these owners were notified, as required.
Mr. Moore noted that Dr. William Johnston, President of Wesley College, contacted neighbors
adjacent to the areas who would potentially be affected and that the College also held neighborhood
meetings and provided updates on the long-term plan and the requests for alley and street
abandonments.
Page 12
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 7
In response to Mr. Bonar regarding adequate parking, Mr. Moore indicated that Wesley College is
considering the prohibition of freshman/underclassman vehicle usage, as well as the addition of a
parking garage and/or flat parking lots. He assured members that Wesley College understands that
if parking is eliminated, parking must be provided elsewhere. Mrs. Townshend noted that staff’s
report includes a comment regarding the elimination of parking and that the site plan would require
a specific plan to accommodate displaced parking to avoid dispersion of parking into nearby
neighborhood streets.
Mr. Clarence Savin, 226 N. Governors Avenue, relayed concerns regarding the current parking
conditions at Wesley College and the surrounding areas and felt that prohibiting freshman from
having vehicles on campus would make parking conditions worse for the neighboring streets.
Although he had no objections to the long-term plan proposed by Wesley College, he felt that
parking should be addressed prior to any approvals. Mr. Savin indicated that there are already
parking concerns on his block, explaining that there are two (2) houses on the block permitted to
house Wesley students and that there are currently four (4) houses. He questioned how Wesley
College plans to access the parking lot at the old tennis courts and allow for delivery trucks (for the
kitchen) if Fulton Street and parts of Cecil Streets will be closed. With reference to the
neighborhood meetings held by Wesley College, Mr. Savin indicated that no one on the 200 block
of N. Governors Avenue was notified of such meetings. Prior to taking any further action, he felt
that the City should require Wesley College to provide adequate parking.
Mr. Michael Maciarello, 11 Cecil Street, advised members that, in addition to a neighborhood
presentation, Dr. Johnston provided a presentation of the plans for Wesley College to him personally.
Mr. Maciarello indicated his opposition to the proposal, explaining his feeling that the pedestrian-
oriented campus plan does not fulfill the primary point for the project, which is improved safety.
He stated that the majority of traffic on Cecil and Fulton Streets consists of Wesley College students
cruising for parking spaces, since proximity to their classes is an issue. Mr. Maciarello noted that
the neighborhood association has been working on obtaining cross-walks for school children coming
from the west side of Governors Avenue going to Central Middle School, and this took three (3)
years to accomplish. It was his feeling that the Wesley College request appears to be “fast tracked”.
Mr. Maciarello indicated that the first steps in achieving the goal would be to eliminate parking from
Cecil Street to Fulton Street since this would “push” traffic out and would be a less expensive option.
He felt that his residence would be the most affected, since the closing of the street would occur right
before his home, noting that emergency response would be delayed. He suggested that Wesley
College consider development of their properties located on the east side of Governors Avenue and
incorporate a parking garage with a pedestrian overpass. This would link the two (2) properties in
a manner that would be more conducive to pedestrian traffic and safety.
In response to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend explained that the process for street and alley
abandonment requires that the matter be presented to Council to set a public hearing (for
June 28, 2010), if recommended favorably by the Committee. She indicated staff’s reluctance to
expand the notification beyond the required adjacent property owners, explaining concern that this
could create problems; however, should the Committee make such recommendation, she suggested
that property owners within 200’ be contacted.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 8
Responding to Mr. Hogan, Mr. Moore stated that there has not been any final determination
regarding the location of a parking garage and that the College has considered utilizing property they
currently own, as well as purchasing property for this purpose; however, he indicated that no final
decision has been made in this regard. In order to assure adequate parking, Mr. Moore stated that
there would be a need to replace every parking space lost as a result of the abandonments and,
depending upon what building or structures are added, there would be additional parking necessary
to assist with the current parking situation.
Mr. McGiffin relayed concern with recommending approval of the request at this time due to the lack
of public notification.
Mr. Snaman noted that the role of the Utility Committee is to assure that utilities are not affected by
such an abandonment and suggested that any concerns regarding parking would be addressed by the
Planning Commission.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend explained that the parking concerns have been included
by the Planning Staff as advisory comments and that all comments, including the requirement to
compensate for displaced parking, must be included in the site plan.
The Committee recommended that the request be postponed to allow Planning Staff to notify all
property owners within 200’ and that the item be reconsidered by the Utility Committee during their
meeting of June 28, 2010.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Review of Utility Related CIP’s (Electric and Water/Wastewater)
Members were provided a Project Tracking Report, as of March 31, 2010, for the Utility (Electric
and Water/Wastewater) Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP). Mr. Anthony DePrima, City
Manager, noted that, since the State financing has been finalized, the City has begun construction
of several projects, particularly in Wastewater.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the Utility Related CIP’s Report.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Update - Green Energy Funding and Programming
Members were provided an update, as of May 13, 2010, on Green Energy Funding and
Programming, which included details regarding those grants that were paid, pending applications,
energy depot fees, and energy efficiency campaigns/education programs. Mr. Anthony DePrima,
City Manager, suggested that 2010 applications may surpass those from 2009.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the Green Energy Funding and Programming Update
provided by staff.

Members were provided the PACE/NAES Monthly Reports for February and March. The reports
were provided to allow members the opportunity to monitor what is being sold in electric and the
revenues received, which will give members a better understanding of any fluctuations and make
improvements if deemed necessary. Although it was not staff’s intention to make a presentation of
the reports, they welcomed any questions.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the PACE/NAES Monthly Reports for February and
March 2010.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT -
MAY 24, 2010
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on May 24, 2010 with
Chairman McGlumphy presiding.
Medicare Part B Reimbursement Exception
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, reminded members that effective May 1, 2010, the
Electric/Water Meter Reading Division was downsized by two (2) Field Service Representatives
(FSR’s). One of the FSR’s elected to retire rather than accept a transfer offer. This employee had
approximately 33 years of service.
Mr. DePrima explained that the International Union of the Electronic, Electric, Salaried Machine and
Furniture Workers - Communication Workers of America (IUE-CWA), which represents the FSR
positions, has requested that the City make an exception to the Letter of Understanding dated
October 12, 2007. This letter indicates that IUE-CWA members who retire on or after
January 31, 2010 will not be entitled to have their Medicare Part B premium payments paid by the
City. Mr. DePrima stated that it is believed that, had the IUE-CWA employee known that his
position would be eliminated effective May 1, 2010, he would have elected to retire prior to
January 31, 2010 and thus would have been entitled to the reimbursement.
Staff recommended approval of this non-precedent setting request.
Responding to Mr. Leary, Mr. DePrima advised members that the FSR positions were the only
reductions in force that occurred within a short period of time of the agreement; therefore, there are
no other employees affected by the reductions in force to whom this exception would apply.
Page 15
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 10
Mr. McGlumphy questioned if a legal opinion was obtained, as he had requested. He relayed
concern that the matter would set a precedent. Responding, Mr. DePrima stated that a legal opinion
could be provided prior to this matter being presented to Council for final action.
In response to Dr. Jones, Mr. DePrima indicated that the employee’s salary would have been
preserved had he accepted the transfer; however, the position offered was not a comparable position.
He explained that, although he felt confident that the employee could have learned the job, the
position offered had another skill set that would have required additional training.
At the request of Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. Kenneth Clendaniel, President IUE-CWA Local 88315,
advised members that the employee had served as a meter reader for 33 years and that the salary for
the position offered to the employee, if transferred, would have been “frozen” for eight (8) years.
Responding to Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. Clendaniel stated that he did not foresee a similar situation
arising in the future. He assured members that if the employee had anticipated his position being
eliminated, he would have retired prior to January 31st; however, he was not advised of the
circumstance until after that date.
Mr. Salters felt that the employee’s longevity and loyalty to the City should be given consideration
and recommended that the request be approved.
Mr. McGlumphy reiterated his concerns with the legality of the issue and felt that there should be
legal documentation to support any action taken in this regard. Responding, Mr. DePrima relayed
no objections to tabling the matter until a legal opinion is obtained.
The Committee recommended that the matter be tabled pending receipt of a legal opinion.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Discussion - Fiscal Year 2010 Audit Program
Staff provided members with a Fiscal Year 2010 Audit Calendar for their review.
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, noted that the agenda reflected Fiscal Year 2011;
however, the calendar was for Fiscal Year 2010. She also noted that the draft audit report is
scheduled to be presented to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee on October 25,
2010.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the Fiscal Year 2010 Audit Calendar.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 11
Downtown Dover Business Improvement District (BID) Assessment (Tax) Rate for Fiscal Year
2010-2011
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, explained that, in accordance with Appendix D,
Article III, Section 9(f) of the Dover Code, City Council must adopt a Business Improvement District
(BID) budget and assessment every year. Members were provided the FY 2010-2011 Budget
showing BID tax revenue and the expenses charged against that revenue, as well as a tax calculation
worksheet with recommended rates.
Mrs. Mitchell noted that the revenue percentages by zone have been calculated in accordance with
Section 9(e) of Appendix D, Article III of the Dover Code and that the amounts were estimated per
the reassessed values.
Staff recommended approval of the Downtown Dover Business Improvement District (BID) Budget
Ordinance for Fiscal Year 2010-11 (attachment to Committee minutes), and the Assessment (Tax)
Rate for 2010-11 (attachment to Committee minutes). (City Clerk’s Office Note: During the Budget
Hearing of May 25, 2010, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that staff’s
intention was to maintain the same rate by applying the previous assessed values with the previous
assessed rates to determine the tax. Since the BID tax had already been presented to the Legislative,
Finance, and Administration Committee, who formulated a recommendation for Council,
Mr. DePrima stated that the Ordinance would be amended to reflect the rolled-back rate, for
presentation to Council on June 14, 2010.)
The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. (The First Reading of the
Ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting.)
Proposed Ordinance #2010-13 - Furloughs and Pension Plan Closing
During their meeting of April 12, 2010, members considered Proposed Ordinance #2010-13,
amending Division 7 - General Employees Pension Plan of the Dover Code. At that time, it was
noted that no further action would be required since staff would be making additional amendments
based on the Committee’s discussion and that this matter would be brought back to the Committee
for further review and recommendation to City Council.
Mrs. Kimberly Hawkins, Human Resources Director, advised members that the Ordinance had been
updated with comments and suggestions from the April 12, 2010 Committee meeting and that the
updates were noted in blue font.
The Committee recommended adoption of Ordinance #2010-13 as presented.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. (The First Reading of the
Proposed Ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting.)

Concerns Regarding Bidding by Minority Businesses
Due to time constraints, this item was deferred until the next meeting.
Mr. McGlumphy advised members that for the next year, he would no longer be serving as Chair and
relayed appreciation to the staff and Committee members for their service to the Committee during
his tenure.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and
Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll

APPROVAL OF 2010 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FIVE (5)
YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND PROPOSED RESOLUTION #2010-04
Members were provided the 2010 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Five (5) Year
Consolidated Plan and Proposed Resolution #2010-04.
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members
that the Consolidated Plan (2010-2014) is a five (5) year plan mandated by the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This plan identifies the specific needs
concerning affordable housing, homeownership, housing rehabilitation, and community
development. She noted that the Consolidated Plan is due for 2010, which is a census year, and that
the census data used to develop the plan (from 2000) is dated. She indicated that when the 2010
census data is available, it is staff’s desire to update and amend the Consolidated Plan.
Mrs. Russell moved to refer the 2010 CDBG Five (5) Year Consolidated Plan and Proposed
Resolution #2010-04 back to the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee to be
considered during a Special Meeting on June 28, 2010, and to be immediately considered by Council
later that same evening. The motion was seconded by Mr. Ruane.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Russell stated that although members of the Committee were
invited to attend the public hearings, some members were unable to attend and the Committee did
not have the opportunity to discuss the proposed Plan or Resolution.

EVALUATION OF BIDS - EAST NORTH STATE STREET PHASE A PIPE MATERIALS
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that as a part of the proposed Water Quality
Improvements to the City of Dover’s water system, the Public Utilities Department is upgrading the
existing water main in Hazel Road, Maryland Avenue and a portion of American Avenue. Staff
solicited bids for the East North State Street Phase A pipe materials for the supply of major water
line materials to complete this portion of the project. He noted that subsequent bids will include fill
material (stone, select backfill, etc.) and paving materials/contractor. This activity is being
performed as identified in the Utilities Water Quality Evaluation performed on the water system and
will be installed by the Utilities Construction Crew.
Staff recommended awarding the bid to the lowest bidder, Belair Road Supply, for the amount of
$96,669.50.
Mr. McGiffin moved for approval of staff’s recommendation to award the bid to the lowest
bidder, Belair Road Supply, for the amount of $96,669.50, seconded by Mr. Ruane and carried
by a unanimous roll call vote.
EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS - CURBSIDE RECYCLING SERVICES
Members were advised that the contract for Curbside Recycling Services with the Delaware Solid
Waste Authority (DSWA) will expire on June 30, 2010, with the last pick-up day being
June 29, 2010.
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that staff solicited proposals from qualified
vendors earlier in the year to provide this service and that there were four (4) vendors who submitted
proposals. Since receipt of the proposals, State legislation has been passed to require the DSWA to
exit the collection business, so their proposal was technically withdrawn. Staff has reviewed the
remaining proposals and confirmed all of the costs associated with a proposed agreement. In
addition, staff has analyzed the cost to provide this service using City labor and equipment. Based
on the analysis of this information, staff recommended execution of a contract with Inland Service
Corporation at the following rates:
July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2011 – Year 1 - $1.18 per pick up (every other week service)
July 1, 2011 – June 30, 2012 – Year 2 - $1.19 per pick up (every other week service)
July 1, 2012 – June 30, 2013 – Year 3 - $1.21 per pick up (every other week service)
Mr. DePrima indicated the estimated annual contract value as follows:
Year 1 - $ 235,622.40 – based on 7,680 customers on July 1, 2010
Year 2 - $ 239,166.20 – based on 7,730 customers on July 1, 2011
Year 3 - $ 244,758.80 – based on 7,780 customers on July 1, 2012
Page 19
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 14
Noting that the contract would encumber funds that are included as a part of the proposed Budget
for Fiscal Year 2010 as well as Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012, Mrs. Williams relayed concerns with
the approval of the recommendation since the necessary funds have not been authorized by Council.
Responding to Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. DePrima stated that the only cost for the City would be for the
purchase of trash barrels. The proposal is that costs for recycling will be covered by a trash fee paid
by all residents. He explained that this is no different than other special trash services provided to
residents that some take advantage of and others do not, such as bulk pickup.
In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima confirmed that there is State legislation program that
mandates the City to provide recycling and there is a “bottle” bill associated that provides for the
collection of deposit fees that the City can apply for at a later date; however, no funds were included
in the proposed budget since staff was unsure of how the rebate program would work.
Mrs. Williams questioned how other municipalities (Newark and Harrington) eliminated the service
through budgetary cutbacks if recycling has been mandated by Delaware State Law. Responding,
Mr. DePrima indicated that he was not aware of any municipalities eliminating recycling from their
budgets. To his knowledge, he stated that the City of Newark provides trash service and would,
therefore, be required to provide recycling services. However, he stated that the City of Harrington
does not provide trash service; therefore, their trash provider would be required to provide recycling
services. Mr. DePrima stated that this requirement is also true in unincorporated areas for companies
that serve county residents.
Mr. Salters requested that staff provide members with the details regarding the four (4) proposals
submitted.
Mr. McGiffin moved for approval of staff’s recommendation to authorize the City Manager
to execute the contract with Inland Service Corporation to provide curbside recycling at the
following rates: July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011 (Year 1) - $1.18 per pick up (every other week
service); July 1, 2011 - June 30, 2012 (Year 2) - $1.19 per pick up (every other week service);
July 1, 2012 - June 30, 2013 (Year 3) - $1.21 per pick up (every other week service). The
motion was seconded by Mr. Ruane and carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes and two (2)
no (Mr. McGlumphy and Mrs. Williams).

COUNCIL MEMBERS ANNOUNCEMENTS
Mr. McGiffin encouraged everyone to attend the African American Festival on Saturday, June 26,
2010 from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Legislative Mall.
Mrs. Russell noted that staff had previously indicated assurance that a policy would be developed
to allow extra consideration for City of Dover residents when applying for City positions.
Responding, Mr. DePrima stated that this is a goal that has been established for the Human
Resources Department and that there has been progress made towards this end. However, he noted
that, this four (4) person department has been short one (1) employee, which has resulting in some
departmental goals not being accomplished. As a result, Mr. DePrima indicated that he has extended
this goal and hoped to have a program developed by the Fall of 2010. He explained that a part of
the goal was to develop a Handbook amendment to allow preference for applicants who live within
the City; however, there were additional goals included to help improve minority representation.
Mr. Ruane commended the Fire and Police Departments for the manner in which they handled a
recent tragic fire. After speaking with Fire Chief Christiansen, he indicated that it may be necessary
for the City to consider additional legislation to promote fire safety and stated his willingness to
assist the Department in this endeavor.
Echoing Mr. Ruane, Mr. Bonar indicated he has had several conversations with Fire Chief
Christiansen as well as the Fire Marshall’s Office, and he stated that there is a distinct need for a
review of the City’s ordinances as they relate to fire alarms.
Council President Hogan referred to a recent article in a local newspaper which recognized the Police
Department and commended the actions of the Department staff for their heroic actions during the
fire mentioned by Mr. Ruane.
Mr. Salters referred to a natural gas incident that occurred at his residence and stated that the Dover
Fire Department, Chesapeake Utilities, and Eashum Plumbing responded and resolved the problem.
Mrs. Russell noted that Woodcrest is an old complex; however, it was her feeling that there was a
need for the City to consider a sprinkler system ordinance.
Mr. Leary moved for adjournment, seconded by Mrs. Williams and unanimously carried.

Reason for Exemption Request:

educational or charitable agency.
A & I Housing Inc. Does not meet the required date of July 14, 1988 for the creation of
their corporation and therefore may be ineligible.
Recommended Actions: Staff recommends consideration of approval.
No one from A & I Housing Inc. was present at the hearing. Ms Russell went over the code and
made it clear that even though the organization does not meet the required date of July 14, 1988,
staff recommends that the property be exempt.
Mr. Garfinkel was wondering about the relation of the owner and the subcontract they have,
because it appears that they manage the houses. In the state law it states that if the property is sold
for investment, they are not entitled for an exemption, he went on to say that if the owner was
present at the meeting, that would have been a question that would have been asked. Mr.
Garfinkel did want it to go on record, that the board was not able to ask the appellant any
question, as no one was present. Mr. Stonesifer explained that in his understanding A & I
Housing Inc. purchases homes, in his case older homes, fixes them up and rents the homes to
mentally challenged individuals at a very low rent.

explains that Persimmon Park Place Condominium Council Inc. is a not for profit organization
and that the general purpose for the organization is to maintain, operate and administer the
common element areas and community facilities in Persimmon Park Place Condominium Mobile

which time Mr. Tolbert said that only residence are allowed and only those who are invited by

wording and what the City’s Legal Opinion is? Ms. Russell pointed out the Village of Westover

The board introduced themselves to Mrs. Miles, who is also the pastor of First Pilgrim Baptist
church. Mrs. Miles asked the board, that the day-care center located at 350 Frear Drive, be
exempted and that the church is a non-profit organization. She told the board that the upstairs of
the building, is not rented out. Mrs. Miles explained that the church is not gaining any funding
from the daycare center and that in fact 75% of the daycare center is funded by the church. The
church has not pursued the idea of renting out the upstairs of the building as there are to many
rules and regulation with running a daycare center. She went on to say, that only church
members are helping out with the daycare as means of some income for them. Mrs. Miles told
the board that the First Pilgrim Baptist church does have an exemption with the Levy Court. Mr.
Garfinkel asked if the daycare is properly zoned with the City, at which time Mrs. Miles assured
that all of the proper steps have been taken. Mr. Garfinkel also asked who the property was
purchased from and was told that the property was purchased from a family in that area. Mrs.
Miles was asked if anybody is living in the property, she replied that no one lives there it is only
used as a daycare. Mr. Garfinkel asked if the property is payed for by church funds and was told
that the church does pay for the property. Mr. Burns asked if any part of the house is donated to
the church and if the person that sold the house to church was a member of the church, which
they were not. Mr. Burns asked how many children are allowed to be in the daycare center. Mrs.
Miles told him that they are allowed 28 children, 14 during the day and 14 at night, which she
explained that they have never had that many children at the daycare center. She explained that
the State does not fund as much to daycare facilities anymore as they did in the past and that
some families pay $25-$50 per week. After Mr. Garfinkel asked the question if any of the
Board Member of the church work at the daycare, Mrs. Miles replied, that one of the board
members does help out whenever one of the child care providers is absent. Mr. Burns went on to
Page 200
summerize, that the daycare has 12 students, who’s families are paying a portion, the State pays
a portion and the church subsidizes the rest of the cost. Mrs. Miles explained that the original
intent for the daycare was to help out church members who cannot afford daycare and that
perhaps the money generated by the daycare would pay the mortgage, which has not happened
yet. Mr. Burns asked how much the mortgage was, which according to Mrs. Miles is $1,500 per
month. Mrs. Miles was asked if any of the members help with cutting the grass, at which time
she explained that her husband takes care of the gras cutting. Mr. Burns asked if the church,
which is located in the town of Camden has daycare facility . Mrs. Miles replied that would be
nice, but would also create problems, especially with funerals and church services, when the
fellowship hall needs to be used. Mr. Burns asked why a church, that is based in Camden, would
create a daycare in the City of Dover, when they are not even renting out the second floor. Mrs.
Miles explained that she lives in Dover and most of her parishioners live in Dover as well. She
said that they did look for a property in Camden but when this house came available they
decided to buy it as she lives close to the property and is able to look over things much easier.
After Mrs. Miles left, the board deliberated.
Mr. Burns explained that there are lot of rules and regulation related to daycare. Mr. Burns was
wondering why the property was exempt from the Transfer Tax at the time of purchase, when the
church is clearly paying a mortgage, which means that there was in fact a purchase price. .Ms.
Russell explained that because they were exempt they did not have to disclose the amount of the
sale, which is part of a Delaware law. Mr. Burns asked how other daycare in the city are
assessed. Ms. Russell said that usually daycare’s are within the residence, where they are
assessed as residential homes. One daycare in the city which is exempt, is “Moms House” which
is for single moms. Mr. Burns explains that the daycare in question does employ people.
Ms. Russell suggested to table the matter and get a legal opinion, to find out what information
the county used to exempt this property.
Motion to table the manner was made by Mr. Burns seconded by Mr. Welsh.

This request for Exemption was brought back to the board on June 09, 2010 after the

Mr. Garfinkel expressed that these spaces are not public open space but private open space. Ms.
Russell explained that each development is required to have a certain amount of open space. Mr.
Burns asked if all open spaces in the City of Dover are exempt at which time Ms. Russell explained
that the exemptions have to be requested same as Village of Westover, which was just granted an
exemption a couple of weeks prior. The parcels do have to be in the name of the Homeowners
Association, they cannot be in the builders name. Mr. Burns asked the question if once the open
space has been exempt, if anybody can come an use those areas. Mr. Garfinkel expressed the same
concern, as he had asked the question at the first hearing and was told by Mr. Tolbert, that only
people that own property in the neighborhood would be allowed to use those areas. In Mr. Burns’s
opinion, the open spaces should be taxed ever so slightly, so the open spaces stay private, because
he believes that if the open spaces are public other people will use it. Mr. Miller pointed out to the
board, that if for some reason anybody starts using the open spaces, that then the homeowner
association could request the exemption to be lifted, he also pointed out to the board that the
homeowners association asked for the exemption.
Mr. Burns made the motion to grant the exemption which was seconded by Mr. Welsh.

This request for Exemption was brought back to the board on June 09, 2010 after the
requested legal opinion had been obtained.
After the board read over the legal opinion Mr. Garfinkel raised the question, about the daycare
being a business. Mr. Burns remembered that Mrs. Miles had said that the church is paying for the
mortgage, which in Mr. Burns’s opinion, is what the daycare is used for. Mr. Miller (Tyler
Technologies) pointed out that the use of the daycare is for charity purposes. In Mr. Millers opinion
the question is the organization for profit or for charity? . Mr. Burns expressed his concern about
the location of the property. He was wondering if a church which is located in the town of Camden,
would buy a home in the city of Dover to use as a daycare. In his opinion the organization was
making money, as they have a mortgage to pay. Mr. Burns said that most residential daycares have
the owner living in the home and are taxed. Ms. Russell pointed out that those daycares are making
money. He also pointed out that Mrs. Miles did say that one of the board members does work at the
daycare. Ms. Russell pointed out that it had been said that the board member helping out was only
helping out if the daycare was short one person. In Mr. Millers opinion the church is not making any
money, when Mr. Garfinkel pointed out that the daycare is making money. In Mr. Burns’s opinion
the daycare is hiding behind the church and used to pay for the mortgage. Ms. Russell pointed to the
YMCA which the board just granted exemption for, they also have a daycare in the facility.
In Mr. Garfinkel’s opinion, the YMCA cannot be compared to this daycare, this was a property
bought for a specific purpose.
Ms. Russell explained that if Mrs. Miles would start renting out the upstairs, then the building would
only be 50% exempt. In Mr. Burns’s and Mr. Garfinkel’s opinion, the lawyer was not very clear in
explaining the law. Ms. Russell explained that if the organization would bring in people and charge
for daycare that would be for profit, but in this case the church is trying to help out its less fortunate
church goers. Mr. Garfinkel stated that if the daycare was in the church he would not have a
problem, but since a house was bought for purpose of daycare, it does not seem clear to him.
Mr. Burns made the motion to deny the request for exemption, which was seconded by
Mr.Garfinkel. Motion carried 2-1 (Welsh voted against motion)

UTILITY COMMITTEE
The Utility Committee Meeting was held on June 14, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. with Chairman Ruane
presiding. Members present were Mr. Bonar, Mr. McGiffin, Major Kosior, and Mr. Snaman.
Members of Council present included Council President Hogan and Mr. Leary. Mayor Carey was
also present (arrived at 5:10 p.m.).
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Snaman moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously
carried.
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
Systems (MS4) Permit
In response to inquiries and a request of Mr. Ruane, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, and
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, provided members
with information regarding the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit. The information explained what the Dover
NPDES permit is, how it has been administered in the past, and how it will be administered it in the
future.
Mrs. Townshend advised members that the City of Dover operates what the Federal government
recognizes as a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. Under the National Clean Water Act, the
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates these systems through state environmental
agencies. In Delaware, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC)
is the delegated regulatory agency under the EPA. The purpose of regulation is to minimize
pollution that flows into local rivers and streams from municipal storm systems. Typically this
includes any pollutant that falls on roadways, including litter, car oil, household chemicals dumped
down drains, and fertilizers or pesticides applied to lawns.
In August 2003, DNREC issued a five (5)-year permit to the City of Dover that required the City to
take measures to encourage the removal of pollutants from stormwater run-off that ultimately ends
up in the City’s water bodies, including Silver Lake and the St. Jones River. Mrs. Townshend stated
that the permit includes six (6) measures and a series of actions to be completed each year, as
follows:
1) public education and outreach;
2) public involvement and participation;
3) illicit discharge detection and elimination;
4) construction site stormwater runoff control;
5) post-construction stormwater management in newly developed areas and redeveloped
areas; and
6) pollution prevention and good housekeeping
She indicated that originally, the Public Works Department was responsible for the permit, and it
was assigned to the engineering staff within that department. In 2006, with the reorganization of
Public Works, Planning, and Public Utilities, the engineering staff moved to the Public Utilities
Department; however, management of the permit remained under what became the Public Services
Department. With no specific staff assigned to manage this responsibility, completing the
Page 291
UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 2
requirements became an increased challenge. Staff from various divisions and departments
(including Geographic Information System (GIS), Public Affairs, Engineering, and Planning) were
contributing to the effort.
Mr. DePrima explained that it became increasingly evident that the skills of the Planning Department
were much better suited to coordinating the permitting documents and reporting them to DNREC.
Over the last year, the Planning Office has worked with the Public Services Manager/Director of
Public Works to bring the permit up to date. City staff has met with DNREC staff on numerous
occasions to resolve issues associated with the permit, and a number of permit requirements are
being implemented.
Mr. DePrima advised members that the City will strengthen implementation of a committee
approach to future permit management. Utilizing this approach, the Planning Department will be
responsible for making NPDES permit applications, monitoring progress, and filing reports with
DNREC. Various departments will be assigned action items related to the permit, and those action
items will be included in department goals and performance evaluation goals of staff members.
Responding to Mr. Bonar regarding improvements to the runoff into Silver Lake since 2003,
Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, advised members that the City
is not currently required to conduct chemical or quantitative analysis on the waters entering Silver
Lake or the St. Jones and explained the difficulties in measuring such pollutants. He stated that,
currently, the permit requires assurance that the City is educating the public on practices that will
improve water quality, and is less concerned with empirical analysis of hard data. He stated that
these education efforts include improving construction techniques, mapping and maintaining the
system, etc., and measurements would be based on improvements, such as the construction of a
stormwater pond, rather than measurement of contaminants.
Also in response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Koenig stated that control measures have been instituted by
Delaware State University. During the past 5-10 years, there have been quantitative construction
improvements at Delaware State University that would, from an engineering standpoint, result in a
scientific response that there has been an improvement to the water quality; however, it would be
difficult to measure this improvement.
Mr. Bonar recollected the use of Silver Lake, several years ago, as a prime recreational resource area
that was used for swimming, water skiing, etc. He expressed his hope that the quality of the lake
could be restored so that it could once again be utilized in this fashion. Responding, Mr. Koenig
stated that a study was conducted that indicated that significant financial investments would be
required to restore Silver Lake as a recreational area. In addition, he explained that management of
Silver Lake requires a cooperative effort from the County and several other entities outside the City’s
jurisdiction. Mr. Koenig noted that, although City resources spent on the Lake would assist in its
improvement, this would not resolve the issue, since the City would be treating the problem at the
end rather than resolving the factors that initially create the pollutants. Mr. Koenig added that,
although Silver Lake is a major water asset in the City, it is only a small aspect of the MS4 permit.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 3
Referring to Measurement #5, post-construction stormwater management in newly developed areas
and redeveloped areas, Mr. Ruane questioned if the current permit refers to any objectives related
to the maintenance of stormwater ponds. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that the requirements
regarding stormwater ponds are under the jurisdiction of the Kent Conservation District. The permit
does require the adoption of ordinances relating to the area of stormwater, and she anticipated this
would be addressed through the committee process.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend stated that a letter was received in May 2010 from
DNREC that included requirements of the City to be completed by November 1, 2010 in order to
renew the permit. Mr. Ruane requested that the Committee be provided periodic updates on this
issue.
Mr. DePrima reminded members that there is a City Council session scheduled for Wednesday,
June 16, 2010, to review the City Manager’s performance goals and that one of his goals is to
produce a report to Council describing Wilmington’s stormwater management system utility, the
systems that other municipalities have implemented in this regard, and the availability of funding
for this type of project.
Mr. DePrima introduced Ms. Laura Allison, DNREC - Silver Lake/St. Jones Watershed Coordinator,
whose responsibility is to focus on the improvement and management of the St. Jones Watershed
and Silver Lake. Ms. Allison stated that she was recently assigned to this position and looks forward
to working with the City.
Mr. Bonar encouraged staff to research the possibility of securing grants for this project.
Mr. DePrima assured members that staff is poised to pursue grants since Silver Lake is “the most
studied lake in Delaware”; however, he cautioned that estimated costs to eradicate the problems at
the Lake are significant.
The report was accepted by unanimous consent.
Mr. Bonar requested that staff contact Ms. Katherine Hamilton, President of GridWise Alliance, to
request that a presentation be made to the Committee on the subject of “Smart Meters”.
By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 5:35 P.M.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on June 14, 2010 at
6:00 p.m. with Chairman Leary presiding. Members present were Mr. McGiffin, Mr. Salters (arrived
at 6:14 p.m.) , Dr. Jones, and Mr. Shevock. Members of Council present were Mrs. Russell (arrived at
6:51 p.m.) , Mr. Bonar, Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Williams (arrived at 6:18 p.m.) , and Council
President Hogan. Mayor Carey was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Dr. Jones moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously
carried.
Review and Recommendation - Filling of Critical Positions
During their meeting of February 23, 2009, members recommended approval of the Hiring Freeze
for Fiscal Year 2008-2009, but to allow the hiring of critical positions through the review and
approval of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee and City Council. It was
suggested that there be a “standing” agenda item to consider the filling of critical positions and, if
there are no positions to consider, the item could be removed.
Permanent Full time and Temporary Full-Time Administrative Assistant - City Clerk’s Office
Members considered a request for permission to recruit for a permanent, full-time Administrative
Assistant position in the City Clerk’s Office. In addition, members were provided a request to waive
Article V – Recruitment and Selection, Section 1 – Recruitment Sources of the Employee Handbook
and temporarily hire the previous Records Management Coordinator, Ms. Denise Devine, until a
permanent employee can be hired.
Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, reviewed the permission to recruit and reminded members that
Mrs. Rebecca Rollison was recently promoted to Fire Chief’s Assistant with the Fire Department.
She also reminded members that Ms. Devine is fully trained in records management, conduct of
municipal elections, and Clerk’s Office administrative responsibilities, including preparation of
Council packets (paper and paperless), and would be available for immediate employment.
Responding to Mr. Leary, Mrs. McDowell stated that the process for hiring to fill a vacant position
is lengthy and, referring to the recent filling of the Fire Chief’s Assistant position, she noted that the
request for permission to recruit was considered by the Committee on January 25, 2010 and that
Mrs. Rollison began serving in that capacity on May 17, 2010.
In response to Dr. Jones’ concerns, Mrs. McDowell assured members that the permanent, full-time
position will be opened to anyone wishing to apply.
Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend that staff be granted permission to recruit for the
permanent, full-time Administrative Assistant position in the City Clerk’s Office and
temporarily hire the previous Records Management Coordinator, Ms. Denise Devine, until a
permanent employee can be hired. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and
unanimously carried.

COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 2
Temporary Full-Time Payroll Specialist - Finance Department
Members considered a request for permission to recruit for a temporary, full-time Payroll Specialist
position in the Finance Department.
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the permission to recruit and reminded
members that the City’s current Payroll Specialist, Mr. Turhan Jordan, has recently been given orders
for military deployment for one (1) year. Since staff is currently working on the Request for
Proposals (RFP) for outsourcing payroll services, she explained that it is not desired to make any
permanent decisions regarding the position at this time.
Responding to Mr. McGlumphy, Mrs. Mitchell indicated that for previous positions, it was
determined that it was less expensive to utilize an employee from a temporary employment agency
than to hire an employee directly. Mr. McGlumphy requested that staff provide all costs associated
with filling vacant positions in the future.
Dr. Jones moved to recommend that staff be granted permission to recruit for the temporary,
full-time Payroll Specialist position in the Finance Department, seconded by Mr. McGiffin and
unanimously carried.
Medicare Part B Reimbursement Exception
During their meeting of May 24, 2010, members considered a request of the International Union of
the Electronic, Electric, Salaried Machine and Furniture Workers - Communication Workers of
America (IUE-CWA) for a Medicare Part B reimbursement exception for a retired Field Service
Representative with 33 years of service. After much discussion, the matter was tabled until receipt
of a legal opinion.
Mr. McGiffin moved to remove the matter from the table, seconded by Dr. Jones and
unanimously carried.
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, noted the receipt of a legal opinion from Deputy City Solicitor
William Pepper, Sr., which was provided to members for their review and consideration.
Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend approval of this non-precedent setting request for a
Medicare Part B reimbursement exception. The motion was seconded by Dr. Jones and
carried with Mr. Leary voting no.
Concerns Regarding Bidding by Minority Businesses (Deferred by Committee on May 24, 2010
Due to Time Constraints)
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that the City has a provision within the
purchasing guidelines which allows for a 3% preference if a business is a Certified Minority or
Women’s Business (certified by the State of Delaware). This preference is included as a part of a
bid packet, which also contains instructions on how a business can claim this preference. He stated
that, to his knowledge, although the City has awarded contracts or business to minority businesses,
it has not been due to the preference allowed, but rather because they had submitted the lowest bid.
Page 295
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 3
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima clarified that, although some businesses have included a
minority certification with their bid, they were either the lowest bidder or did not fall within the 3%
range permitted for consideration.
In response to Mr. Salters, Mr. DePrima stated that the City of Dover does not “set aside” a certain
number of contracts to be made available only for minority bids. He was not aware of any
communities that provide for a “set aside” clause and suggested that if it was the desire of members,
staff would conduct further research into this matter.
Mr. McGlumphy suggested that a more conscious effort be made to attract minority businesses and
felt that the City often utilizes the same vendors. In addition to researching the possibility of
providing “set aside” contracts, he suggested that staff develop an ordinance that provides for greater
diversity in the City’s vendor preferences.
Mr. Bonar suggested that staff research the minority and women’s business program provided by the
State of Delaware.
Mr. Clay Hammond, 505 Troon Road, advised members that he serves as the Chairman of the
Delmarva Black Chamber of Commerce and member of the Governor’s Supply and Diversity
Council. Rather than the development of an ordinance, he felt the City would be better served by
providing a program that would encompass both above and below-bid threshold purchases. Noting
the importance of small businesses to the local economy, Mr. Hammond advised members that the
use of a program that promotes diversified use of small businesses would reduce unemployment,
increase licensing, etc. He suggested that members review the program developed by the City of
Wilmington for further consideration.
Mr. Salters moved to recommend that staff be directed to study the bidding process as it
relates to minorities and women and bring a program back to the Committee that would
address the issues discussed by members. The motion was seconded by Dr. Jones and
unanimously carried.
Responding to Mr. Leary, Mr. DePrima indicated that a report could be brought back to the
committee within 90 days.
Proposed Ordinance #2010-18 - Appendix B - Zoning, Article 9 - Board of Adjustment
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members
that the State statute (Del. Code, Title 22, Chapter 3 - Municipal Zoning Regulations, Subchapter
II - Board of Adjustment) establishes the legal authority for municipal boards of adjustment. Over
time, case law has clarified the State law regarding the role of boards of adjustment and the standards
for granting use and area variances. The standards for a variance set forth in the City of Dover
Zoning Ordinance are currently more stringent than the standards supported by Delaware case law.
This has created challenges for the Board of Adjustment, the Planning Staff, and applicants to the
Board of Adjustment in evaluating applications to the Board.
Page 296
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 4
Staff provided members with a Proposed Ordinance that would bring the City’s Zoning Ordinance
into compliance with the State statute and case law and help to avoid confusion in evaluating
applications to the Board of Adjustment. Members were assured that the Proposed Ordinance was
reviewed by City Solicitor Nicholas Rodriguez to ensure that it complies with State statute and case
law.
Staff recommended that Proposed Ordinance #2010-18 be forwarded to City Council for a First
Reading on June 28, 2010; referred to the Planning Commission for consideration on July 19, 2010;
and that a Final Reading and public hearing be set before City Council on August 9, 2010.
Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Townshend stated that staff will be presenting additional
amendments for consideration and that, in some instances, it will align the City more with the State.
She felt that this could be a goal to be further discussed during her annual review of goals with
Council.
Mr. Ruane suggested that the notification process should be expanded for matters being considered
by the Board of Adjustment. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that Section 3.1 requires
notification to be provided to all property owners abutting the immediate area being considered, as
well as those property owners within 200 feet. Mr. Ruane noted that, according to line 155,
notification could be provided for property owners “within 200 feet or such additional distance as
the board of adjustment may deem advisable...”. He felt that there were instances when the
notification should be broadened. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that City staff would not be
making such decision, since it specifies that the Board of Adjustment would be making such
determination, and that if 200 feet is felt to be too narrow and should be broadened, she suggested
that members consider an amendment.
In response to Mr. McGiffin, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that the Board of Adjustment has a very
narrow role and that the legal case for a variance is either there or not; however, during the site plan,
conditional use, and subdivision process, public testimony is given consideration in making a
decision.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend indicated that the Proposed Ordinance does not include
any provision regarding matters that have been in violation for a period of time; however, she stated
that case law indicates that receiving forgiveness for being in violation rather than obtaining
permission is not a reason to deny a variance. In reviewing case law, she stated that each case must
be considered individually and based on the facts of the case and not based on a single issue.
Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend that Proposed Ordinance #2010-18 (Attachment #1) be
forwarded to City Council for a First Reading on June 28, 2010; referred to the Planning
Commission for consideration on July 19, 2010; and that a Final Reading and public hearing
be set before City Council on August 9, 2010. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and
unanimously carried.

COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 5
Refunding of 2004 Electric Revenue Bonds
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that current interest rates on
tax-exempt municipal bonds would provide the City of Dover with approximately $1.2 million in
savings if the City refunded the 2004 Electric Revenue Bonds. She indicated that the City’s Debt
Policy provides guidance for refinancing debt if the present value savings over the life of the
respective issue is three percent (3%) or greater. She advised members that the savings calculated
on the current 2004 Series was at 3.09% as of April 16, 2010 and that since that time, rates have
lowered.
Mrs. Mitchell reminded members that these bonds were issued as taxable bonds due to the previous
power supply contract with Duke Energy. She explained that the City would refund the bonds with
tax-exempt bonds, as permitted under IRS regulations with the structure of current power supply
contracts. Once staff has completed the bond prospectus and all the necessary financing documents,
Mrs. Mitchell indicated that staff would submit the final Bond Resolution to City Council for
approval. She assured members that the City’s Bond Counsel has reviewed the refunding and
confirmed the ability to refinance as a tax-exempt issue.
Staff recommended approval to refund the 2004 Taxable Electric Revenue Bonds with Series 2010
Tax Exempt Electric Revenue Bonds.
Mr. Salters moved to recommend approval to refund the 2004 Taxable Electric Revenue Bonds
with Series 2010 Tax Exempt Electric Revenue Bonds, seconded by Mr. Shevock and
unanimously carried.
Reaffirmation of Authority to Purchase Utility Commodities and Execute Contracts
During the Council Meeting of May 3, 2006, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised
members that the City of Dover has in place an approved risk management policy associated with
the purchase of energy commodity and related investment contracts. The purpose of the energy
commodity and investment contracts resulting from the application of the risk management policy
is: 1) to secure economic and reliable energy supply to meet the ongoing energy requirements of the
City and its citizens; and 2) to provide price certainty for those end users purchasing electricity
supply from the City.
To facilitate the City’s continuing ability to utilize a wide array of tools to control future energy costs
and secure energy supplies, the City works with multiple counterparties to establish enabling
agreements that allow for a diversification of counterparty credit risk and a competitive procurement
model for the purchase of energy commodity and related investments.
Mrs. Mitchell reminded members that the City Manager and Mayor were authorized to sign purchase
power supply agreements. PACE has since been acquiring counterparties, so that there is a diverse
group of vendors for the City to make power supply purchases. She advised members that some of
these vendors have requested reaffirmation from Council of authority for the City Manager and
Mayor to sign the agreements.
Page 298
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2010 PAGE 6
Mrs. Mitchell explained that the purpose of the request is to reaffirm that, as noted in the City
Council minutes dated May 3, 2006, the City of Dover:
1) May enter into Edison Electric Institute (EEI) Master Power Purchase & Sale
Agreements, International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master
Agreements, North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB) Master
Agreements, or other similar enabling agreements, along with any related
schedules, credit support documents and confirmations, or other documents
pertaining to any energy commodity or investment transactions;
2) May enter into energy commodity or investment transactions for a duration
not to exceed six (6) years from the date of transaction execution;
3) Has authorized Pace Global Asset Management, LLC (“Pace Global”) to act
as its agent for all energy commodity and related investment transactions; and
4) Has granted the City Manager and Mayor the authority to execute energy
commodity and investment transactions on behalf of the City.
City Clerk’s Office Note: During their Special Meeting of May 3, 2006, City Council authorized the
Mayor and City Manager, individually, to enter into master agreements between suppliers of
electricity and the City of Dover to establish contractual relationships for transactions to implement
the electricity and fuels purchasing strategy, plan and transactions contemplated under the Energy
Management Agreement with Pace Global Asset Management, LLC.
Staff recommended that Council confirm the City’s ability and authority to enter into energy
commodity transactions.
Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend reaffirmation that the City: 1) may enter into Edison
Electric Institute (EEI) Master Power Purchase & Sale Agreements, International Swaps and
Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreements, North American Energy Standards Board
(NAESB) Master Agreements, or other similar enabling agreements, along with any related
schedules, credit support documents and confirmations, or other documents pertaining to any
energy commodity or investment transactions; 2) may enter into energy commodity or
investment transactions for a duration not to exceed six (6) years from the date of transaction
execution; 3) has authorized Pace Global Asset Management, LLC ("Pace Global") to act as
its agent for all energy commodity and related investment transactions; and 4) has granted the
City Manager and Mayor the authority to execute energy commodity and investment
transactions on behalf of the City. The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously
carried.
Mr. McGiffin moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried.

9 Section 1. Creation, appointment and organization.
10
11 There shall be a board of adjustment pursuant to the provisions of chapter 3 of title 22,
12 Municipalities, of the Delaware Code Annotated (22 Del. C. § 301 et seq.).
13
14 Section 2. Powers and duties.
15
16 The board of adjustment shall have all the powers and duties prescribed by law and by
17 this ordinance, which are more particularly specified as follows, provided that none of the
18 following provisions shall be deemed to limit any power of the said board that is conferred by
19 law:
20
21 2.1 Interpretation. On appeal from an order, requirement, decision or determination
22 made by an administrative official, or a request by any official, board or agency of the
23 city, to decide any of the following questions:
24
25 2.11 Determination of the meaning of any portion of the text of this ordinance
26 or of any condition or requirement specified or made under the provisions of
27 this ordinance.
28
29 2.12 Determination of the exact location of any district boundary shown on the
30 zoning map.
31
32 2.2 Variances. To authorize, upon appeal in specific cases, such variance from the
33 terms of this ordinance, other than variance of any use regulations, except a variance
34 permitting addition to or extension of an existing nonconforming use of a more
35 restrictive nature than the conforming use in the area as will not be contrary to the
36 public interest where, owing to exceptional and extraordinary circumstances, there are
37 practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships in the way of carrying out of the strict
38 letter of this ordinance, subject to terms and conditions to be fixed by the board;
39 provided, however, that no such variance shall be granted unless the board finds:
40
41 (a) That there are physical conditions, fully described in the findings of
42 the board, applying to the land or building for which the variance is
43 sought, which conditions are peculiar to such land or building, and have
44 not resulted from any act of the applicant or any predecessor in title;
45 and
46
Page 301
47 (b) That, for reasons fully set forth in the findings of the board, the
48 aforesaid circumstances or conditions are such that the strict application
49 of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of all
50 reasonable use of such land or building and the granting of the variance
51 is necessary for the reasonable use of the land or building, and that the
52 variance as granted by the board is the minimum variance that will
53 accomplish this purpose; and
54
55 (c) That the granting of the variance under such conditions as the
56 board may deem necessary or desirable to apply thereto will be in
57 harmony with the general purpose and intent of this ordinance, will not
58 represent a radical departure therefrom, will not be injurious to the
59 neighborhood, will not change the character thereof and will not be
60 otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
61
62 2.21 The needs or desires of a particular owner or tenant or of a particular prospective
63 owner or tenant shall not, either alone or in conjunction with other factors, afford any
64 basis for the granting of a variance. The fact that the improvements already existing
65 at the time of the application are old, obsolete, outmoded or in disrepair, or the fact
66 that the property is then unimproved, shall not be deemed to make the plight of the
67 property unique or to contribute thereto.
68
69 2.22 Where the board finds the zoning classification of a particular property to be
70 conducive to the deprivation of all reasonable use of the land or building by the owner
71 thereof, and where the board deems the same condition to apply generally to other land
72 or buildings in the same neighborhood or zone, the said board may call this condition
73 to the attention of the planning commission for recommending amendment to the
74 zoning ordinance.
75
76 2.23 In all cases where the board of adjustment grants a variance from the strict
77 application of the requirements of this ordinance, it shall be the duty of such board to
78 attach conditions and safeguards as may be required in order that the result of its
79 action may be as nearly as possible in accordance with the intent and purposes of this
80 ordinance.
81
82 2.24 Whenever the board of adjustment denies an application for variance, such
83 application for variance, or an application on the same property which is substantially
84 similar, shall not be accepted for reconsideration by the board of adjustment sooner
85 than one year from the date of denial.
86
87 The board of adjustment shall have the powers and duties as specified in Delaware Code
88 Annotated (22 Del. C. § 301 et seq.) and as articulated below:
89
90 2.1 Variance – The board shall have the authority to authorize variances from provisions
91 of the zoning ordinance that are not contrary to public interest where the board
92 determines that a literal interpretation of the zoning ordinance would result in undue
93 hardship or exceptional practical difficulties to the applicant. In granting variances, the
94 board shall determine that the spirit of the zoning ordinance is observed and substantial
95 justice done.
96
Page 302
97 2.11 Area Variance. A variance shall be considered an area variance if it relates to bulk
98 standards, signage regulations, and other provisions of the zoning ordinance that address
99 lot layout, buffers, and dimensions. In considering a request for an area variance, the
100 board shall evaluate the following criteria and document them in their findings of fact:
101
102 (a) the nature of the zone in which the property lies;
103
104 (b) the character of the immediate vicinity and the contained uses therein;
105
106 (c) whether, if the restriction upon the applicant’s property were removed, such
107 removal would seriously affect neighboring properties and uses; and
108
109 (d) whether, if the restriction is not removed, the restriction would create
110 unnecessary hardship or exceptional practical difficulty for the owner in his
111 efforts to make normal improvements in the character of that use of the property
112 that is a permitted use under the provisions of the zoning ordinance.
113
114 2.12 Use Variance. A variance shall be considered a use variance if it would permit a use
115 of the subject property that would otherwise not be permitted on the subject property. In
116 considering a request for a use variance, the board shall determine that the following
117 criteria exist and document them in their findings of fact:
118
119 (a) That there are physical conditions applying to the land or building for which
120 the variance is sought, which conditions are peculiar to such land or building, and
121 have not resulted from any act of the applicant or any predecessor in title; and
122
123 (b) That the aforesaid circumstances or conditions are such that the strict
124 application of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of all
125 reasonable use of such land or building and the granting of the variance is
126 necessary for the reasonable use of the land or building, and that the variance as
127 granted by the board is the minimum variance that will accomplish this purpose;
128 and
129
130 (c) That the granting of the variance under such conditions as the board may
131 deem necessary or desirable to apply thereto will be in harmony with the general
132 purpose and intent of this ordinance, will not represent a radical departure
133 therefrom, will not be injurious to the neighborhood, will not change the character
134 thereof and will not be otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
135
136 2.2 Appeal of administrative order, requirement, decision, or determination – The board shall
137 have the authority to hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is any order, requirement,
138 decision or determination made by an administrative official in the enforcement of the zoning
139 ordinance. Appeals to the board may be made by any person aggrieved or by any officer,
140 department, board or bureau of the municipality affected by any decision of an administrative
141 officer.
142
143 Section 3. Procedure.
144
145 The powers and duties of the board of adjustment shall be exercised in accordance with the
146 following procedure:
Page 303
147 3.1 The board of adjustment shall not decide upon any appeal for interpretation or
148 variance without first holding a public hearing, notice of which hearing and of the substance
149 of the appeal or application shall be given by publication in the official newspaper of the city
150 at least ten days before the date of such hearing. In addition to such published notice, the
151 board of adjustment shall cause notice to be given of the substance of every appeal for a
152 variance, together with notice of the hearing thereon, by causing notices thereof to be mailed
153 by postal card or other means at least ten days before the date of said hearing to the owners
154 of all property abutting that held by the applicant in the immediate area (whether or not
155 involved in such appeal) and all other owners within 200 feet, or such additional distance as
156 the board of adjustment may deem advisable, from the exterior boundaries of the land
157 involved in such appeal, as the names of said owners appear on the last completed
158 assessment roll of the city. Any or all of the notices required by this [sub]section shall be
159 issued by the office of the city clerk city planner on order of the board of adjustment or
160 upon order of the chairperson of said board if the appeal is received when the board is not
161 in session and the chairperson deems it necessary or desirable to expedite the public hearing

Consolidated Plan (2010-2014)
I SUMMARY OF THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS (24 CFR 91 (a))
The Consolidated Plan for the City of Dover serves as the primary planning document for
identifying and meeting the housing and community development needs for the low and
moderate-income residents of Dover.
Created through Title I of the National Affordable Housing Act, the Consolidated Plan
also serves as a requirement for the receipt of federal funds allocated annually to each
reporting jurisdiction. The Consolidated Plan replaced two previously required planning
documents, the Housing Assistance Plan (HAP) and the Comprehensive Homeless
Assistance Plan (CHAP).
The Consolidated Plan approach is also the means to meet the application requirements
for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships
(HOME), Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with
AIDS (HOPWA) formula programs. This process replaces prior CPD planning and
application requirements with a single document, and satisfies the submission
requirements of the four CPD formula programs for local jurisdictions.
The City of Dover’s Consolidated Plan development process consisted of the following
steps:
1. Identification of Stakeholders.
2. Conduct workshop to develop needs of the community.
3. Conduct workshop with Stakeholders to rank priorities.
4. Conduct first public hearing with results of priorities from workshops.
5. CDBG Advisory Committee meeting for review and recommendations.
6. Unveil Draft Consolidated Plan for 30-day review period.
7. Prepare final City of Dover 2010 Consolidated Plan.
8. Submit final plan to City Council for approval.
9. Submit City of Dover 2010 Consolidated Plan to HUD.
I.1 LEAD AGENCY (24 CFR 91.200(b))
The City of Dover is a major City in the state in population, area and employment. A
popularly elected nine-member City Council and full-time Mayor represent Dover’s
population. All elected officials serve two-year terms with four Council members elected
each year and the At-large member elected every other year. Council appoints a City
Manager that oversees most of the day-to-day operations of the City including water,
sewer, trash, streets and electric service. The Council also appoints other key department
Page 310
2
heads such as the City Planner, Building Inspector, City Engineer, Controller/Treasurer,
Fire Marshal, Tax Assessor, and the City Clerk. The Police Department is under the
Mayor’s Office. The City privately contracts Emergency Medical Services and the Fire
Department is volunteer.
The Community Development Office is a part of the Department of Planning in the
Public Services Department. The Community Development Office has one full time
employee, the Manager, who administers the CDBG Grant and is the Fair Housing
Coordinator. Clerical, planning and inspection assistance is provided by the Planning and
Inspections Department. The Building Inspections Office also provides housing and life
safety inspections throughout the City including property maintenance. The Dover
Housing Authority provides responsibility for the public housing needs within the City
and is a separate entity from the City. The Delaware State Housing Authority who
operates both Section 8 vouchers and public housing units also caters to the housing
needs of low-moderate income families.
I.2 Managing the Process (24 CFR 91.200 (b)
Development of the Consolidated Plan has involved months of effort and coordination by
the Manager of the Community Development Office. Stakeholders assembled included
members of the community, elected and appointed officials, private citizens, community
groups, housing authorities, various county and state agencies within the City of Dover to
consult on topics regarding homelessness, persons with disabilities, elderly, persons with
HIV/AIDS, and services for children. After the Stakeholders were assembled and their
input solicited, work began by updating all of the information into the Consolidated Plan.
The result is formulated in the goals developed to address the needs of the City. The
following is a list of stakeholders who participated in the planning process of the
Consolidated Plan.
• Homeless Planning Council
• Delaware State Housing Authority
• Dover Housing Authority
• City of Dover Planning Department
• House of Pride
• State of Delaware Department of Health and Social Services
• Delaware HIV Consortium
• State of Delaware Division of Family Services
• City of Dover City Manager’s Office
I.3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Consolidated Plan (2010-2014) is a five-year plan mandated by the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This plan identifies the specific
needs concerning affordable housing, homeownership, housing rehabilitation, and
community development such as: infrastructure, economic development and public
service needs. The Strategic Plan element of this plan specifies the goals identified in the
preparation of this plan and includes the five goals that the Consolidated Plan revolves
around. These goals in order of priority are:
Page 311
3
1. Provide aid to special needs persons
2. Preserve the existing housing stock in the City of Dover
3. Encourage owner occupied housing in low to moderate income areas
4. Provide safe and livable neighborhoods
5. Aid economic opportunity in low to moderate income areas
The Action Plan Component of the Plan specifies how the projects will further these
goals for Fiscal Year 2010.
II Community Description and Citizen Participation (24 CFR 91.200 (b))
II.1 Background and Trends (24 CFR 91.200 (a)
Dover, the Capital of Delaware, is centrally located in the state and is part of the Mid-
Atlantic region. The City is located approximately 90 miles from both Philadelphia and
Washington, D.C. Dover’s population ranks second only to Wilmington, Delaware.
Delaware and the Eastern Shore counties of Maryland and Virginia comprise the
Delmarva Peninsula. Dover is also the largest city in land area on the peninsula with a
total land area of over 23 square miles. Map II-1 shows the census tracts within the
corporate limits, while Map II-1a reflects the regional influence.
Map II-1a State of Delaware
Dover has experienced a rapid rise in population over the previous decade. The
population increased from 1990 to 2000 by 16.3%. Dover’s population has continued to
grow since 2000. The City’s current population is estimated at 36,627 according to
Delaware Population Consortium 2009 Report. The 2010 Census data will provide new
population counts for comparison once the reports have been released. Dover’s daytime
population, estimated to be greater than 80,000, further galvanized its central role in the
Page 312
4
region. The Delaware Population Consortium 2009 population projections continue to
indicate growth in the City’s population through 2030.
Dover’s historic role as central to Kent County has continued for well over three
centuries since it was originally laid out by William Penn in 1683 to serve as St. Jones
County Seat. The original grid pattern still exists in the historic downtown area
surrounding The Green, laid out in 1717, and Capitol Complex, which serves as both the
County Seat and the Capitol of the State. This central part of the City now serves as one
of the employment centers with a large concentration of professional and government
offices. Merely blocks away, the commercial center of the Downtown along the axis of
Loockerman Street has begun to revitalize with incentives associated with the Main
Street designation. The commercial center is not very deep with the beginnings of lower
to moderate income housing demands from the mid 19th – mid 20th centuries becoming
the norm. The City’s center is a diverse area with income levels varying from street to
street within block groups and census tracts. Low-moderate income areas near the center
of the City may even be as close as directly across the street from moderate-upper income
levels. This makes it very difficult to target areas by Census tract or block group. The
City has undertaken individual surveys to designate areas as target blocks. Map II-I,
references those tracts which qualify as low to moderate income areas.
To the east of the central portion of the City is the Route 13 and Bay Road corridors to
which the retail center for the entire region moved beginning in the 1950’s and continues
today. Major business and employment centers have shifted to this corridor with the
largest employers in the retail, service, and commercial recreation areas being along these
corridors. These include the Dover Mall; big box retailers including Wal-Mart, Lowe’s,
Sam’s Club, K-Mart and many other retail chains; and Dover Downs Hotel & Casino and
Dover International Speedway (Home to two NASCAR races annually, harness racing
and a casino). Three of Dover’s four institutions of higher learning Delaware Technical
and Community College, Delaware State University and Wilmington University are
located along this corridor.
Page 313

Residential development over the past five years has been characterized by a few large
scale mixed-use subdivisions, traditional subdivisions, and the addition of four major
privatized student housing complexes. Residential development has not kept pace with
the growing commercial sector due to lower development cost beyond City limits. The
majority of new residential construction has occurred in the suburban areas of west
Dover, expanding into agricultural and woodland areas. Detached single-family homes
have remained the dominant housing type, representing 41% off all housing since 2003.
However, over the period of 2003-2007, increasing numbers of townhouses, duplexes and
multi-family dwellings have been constructed with multi-family units growing at the
highest rate of 46%. Constructions continued in the mixed housing neighborhoods of
Village of Cannon Mills, and Village of Westover with build-out of Phases V and VI.
New conventional single family detached housing subdivisions approved and under
construction include Nottingham Meadows (212 units), Emerald Point (107 units), Maple
Glen (34 units), Four Seasons (43 units), and Farthing Woods (17 units). Mixed unit
subdivisions still under construction include Clearview Meadows Planned Neighborhood
Design (PND), Lexington Glen PND, Patriot Village PND, and Eden Hill Farms
Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND).
The eastern section makes up a part of the City that begins with the Route 13 corridor and
moves eastward toward the Delaware Bay. These neighborhoods consist of mostly single
family neighborhoods constructed during the housing boom of the last half of the 20th
century. This area is also sprinkled with some higher density residential developments
including a mixture of townhouses and multifamily dwellings. The new developments
include Lexington Glen PND, Patriot Village PND, Clearview Meadows PND and Blue
Hen Apartments. This area is home to the largest concentration of multiple family units
in the City. This broad area includes existing development such as Baytree, The Laurels,
Manchester Square and higher end residential uses just west of Route 13 such as the neo-
traditional development of Overlook and the Silver Mill apartment building.
The southern section of the City is an area dominated by single family residences and
professional offices. Also included in this area is Bayhealth Medical Center (Kent
General Hospital). The Dover Air Force Base dominates the southeast section of the
City. The southwest area of the City include the new developments of Nottingham
Meadows (single family homes) and the Eden Hill Farms Traditional Neighborhood
Development (TND) which includes a residential area of townhouses and a professional
office building with a walk-in emergency clinic.
The third and final section of the City is the western half, which can roughly be described
as the area west of the Norfolk and Southern Rail Line to the corporate limits. This area
is home to the industrial base of the City including Kraft Foods, Playtex Apparel and
Proctor and Gamble. Public and private interests groups are involved in projects on
Dover’s West Side thus beginning the implementation of the Strategic Plan for that area
(Strategic Development Plan for the West Side, August 2000). Other large employers on
this side of town are mostly located in the industrial parks of West Dover. Residential
developments in this section of the City include Village of Cannon Mill PND, Village of
Westover PND, Emerald Point, and Farthing Woods.

Demographics (24 CFR 91.200 (a))
According to the 2000 Census the total population of Dover was 32,043. This represents
a 16% increase from the official 1990 Census figures from 27,529. Of that population a
total of 4,017 people resided in group quarters, the vast majority of these people resided
in Dormitories associated with Delaware State University and Wesley College, and the
barracks of Dover Air Force Base. The remaining 28,026 persons occupied the 12,340
households in the City. The average size of a household in 2000 was 2.5 persons.
Revised estimates furnished by the United States Census Bureau in 2000 are reflected in
the following table. The 2000-2020 population projections, furnished by the Delaware
Population Consortium, show continued growth at a stable rate. These projections are
estimates based on the 2000 Census numbers and when making projections that far out
the numbers are generally lower than will be reflected in the 2010 decennial Census.

Age Distribution
In addition to growth, it is useful to consider the future population’s age distribution. This
information (such as the number of school age children, elderly, or size of labor force)
facilities appropriate infrastructure planning.
The 2008 Delaware Population Consortium Report revealed that Dover will have a
relatively stable proportion of people in age groups 0-64 from 2008 and 2020. This can
perhaps be attributed to the influence of major institutions located in Dover including
Dover Air Force Base, Wesley College and Delaware State University. Table II-2b shows
the age distribution of Dover’s population as estimated. There will also be a high
proportion of senior adults (65 and older) residing within the City. This can be attributed
to the growth of institutional and retirement communities in Dover.

Predicting population demographics is critical to infrastructure planning. The historical
trend that are evidenced by comparing the 1990 and 2000 US Census combined with the
yearly projections from the Delaware Population Consortium provide a foundation for
estimation. Table II-2c depicts population trends in the various age groups. This
information assists in planning for facilities, housing and other activities.

For the purpose of the Census, a household is a group of individuals occupying a housing
unit. A household may either be a family unit (individuals related by blood or marriage)
Page 316

or a non-family unit (individuals living together but not related). This is the basic unit
above individuals the Census tracks for the purpose of tracking income. The decennial
Census relies on this unit of measurement to determine poverty status. The 2000 Census
average household income in the City of Dover was $38,669. The State of Delaware’s
average was $47,381. The following table (Table II-2d) compares Dover’s median family
income to other local political subdivisions.

By combing the two previous tables one can see that the income characteristics by race of
householder are disproportionate. This trend is not unique to Dover as can be seen in
Table II-2e; it is apparent throughout the region. In general, white households tend to be
more affluent than African American households. One other trend apparent is that there
is a concentration of poor African American households within the City limits, greater
than the surrounding county or throughout the state. The income level for both white and
African American households in the City is substantially lower than the rest of the state.
The African American households within the City also have a significantly lower income
than their counterparts in Kent County. This indicates that there is a large concentration
of the poorest African Americans in Kent County, within the corporate limits of the City.

The next area of interest when looking at the demographic makeup of the City deals with
those persons living under the poverty level of 13.8%. Table II-2f demonstrates the
poverty level for different ethnic groups living in Dover, as compared to the rest of the
County and State.

In conclusion it can be said that the demographic makeup of the City is diverse. The fact
that none of the large census tracts that lie within the City of Dover show concentrations
of low-moderate incomes does not mean that large areas of low-moderate persons do not
exist. It is a dynamic of Dover’s diversity that more affluent residents live within blocks
if not merely separated by an alley of low-moderate income areas. To accurately
establish the concentrations specific studies of individual blocks must be made.
II.2 AREAS OF RACIAL, ETHNIC AND LOW INCOME
CONCENTRATIONS
Dover, Delaware’s the largest municipality in land area, is a very diverse City. The
community consists of many different neighborhoods with many cultures immediately
adjacent to each other. In Dover, neighborhoods of affluent predominantly white
residents, border neighborhoods of ethnic diversity with only an alley separating them.
The relative large land size of the City combined with the relatively low population,
Page 318
10
estimated at 36,627, gives Dover its relatively lower density, when compared to other
cities of similar population. The highest densities are mostly found in the traditional
downtown area of Central Dover. Dover’s periphery is dominated by low-density
suburban type single-family neighborhoods. Due to these historical development
patterns, areas of racial, ethnic, and low-income concentrations are dispersed throughout
the community.
The Census Bureau defines an area of “Concentration” as a neighborhood or
development in which more than thirty (30%) percent of the population has a common
race, ethnicity or income. Map II-2 shows the minority concentrations by census tract
within the City.
MAP II-2 AREAS OF MINORITY CONCENTRATION
The largest minority group in Dover is the African-American community. This
community is located in two major areas. The first area is the historically African
American settlement area. These areas were originally laid out and developed by African
Americans, included in this category are Lincoln Park, Northwest Dover Heights, The
College Settlement on State College Road and the western edges of Central Dover. The
second area is dominated by the public housing developments and subsidized private
developments, which have attracted a large number of minority residents. Included in
this category are Capital Green, Whatcoat Apartments, Simon Circle, and Manchester
Square.
Page 319

In the City of Dover, HUD has designated those Census Block groups, which have
greater than a 51% concentration of low-moderate income persons. This is graphically
represented in Map II-3 below. The areas within City limits are limited to Block Group
408-01, 413-01, 412-01 and 410-02.

II.3 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The public participation events planned for the Consolidated Plan (2010-2014) represent
the culmination of decades of experience in conducting similar events. In addition to the
normal advertising of meetings in the local press, the staff notified stakeholders in writing
and by the internet. The public was also notified of all meetings and hearings. The
following section summarizes each of the Citizen Participation components of the
Consolidated Plan.
Citizen Participation Plan
A. Purpose
The City of Dover’s Consolidated Plan Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) has been
prepared by the City of Dover in accordance with the requirements contained in
Part 9115 of Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The CPP outlines the
various methods the City of Dover will use to inform its citizens of, and actively
involve them in, developing the Consolidated Plan.
The Consolidated Plan serves as the housing and community development
planning document of the City and its application for funding under the current
Community Planning and Development (CDP) formula grant program (CDBG).
B. Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee (PR&CE)
In order to assure citizen participation and involvement in the Consolidated and
Action Plan process, the Community Development Department reports to PR
&CE Committee which:
1. Is composed of 3 members of City Council and two (2)
private citizens.
2. Provides updates on grant funded projects during monthly meetings.
3. Provides the opportunity to review and comment upon all
aspects of the Consolidated Plan process including:
a. Providing input on housing and community development
needs and priorities;
b. Recommending funding activities;
c. Participating in making amendments to the Consolidated Plan;
Page 321
13
C. Timely Access to Meetings and Information
All citizens, particularly low and moderate income persons, shall be provided
with reasonable and timely access to local meeting information and records
relating to both the proposed use of funds and their actual use in the Consolidated
Plan. Such information shall include but not be limited to:
1. Pertinent mailings relating to the Consolidated Plan;
2. Notice of and records of public hearings;
3. Key program documents, including prior applications, letters of
approval, contracts, status reports, audit reports, and proposed
applications;
4. Copies of program regulations;
5. Documents on other program requirements such as contracting
procedures, environmental/historic preservation policies, fair
housing and equal opportunity requirements, and acquisition and
relocation provisions.
D. Technical Assistance
Technical assistance is provided to groups and representatives of persons of low
and moderate income that request assistance in developing proposals for funding
under any of the programs covered by the Consolidated Plan. The level and type
of technical assistance to be provided will be determined by the City and will
include those training activities necessary to increase the ability of low and
moderate income persons to be involved effectively in the development, planning
and design of the program proposals.
E. Public Hearings
Be held at times and locations convenient to potential and actual beneficiaries and
with accommodations for persons with disabilities. To the maximum extent
possible, all public hearings shall be held in the evening hours after 5:00 PM. All
public hearing sites must be accessible to ramps or elevators and be convenient to
parking or public transportation.
Two public hearings are required. Adequate notice is given through advertisement
in the City’s local newspaper, the Delaware State News and copies of the notices
are sent to such service agencies and public housing administration offices who
serve and advocate for the low and very low income persons and disability
communities to encourage citizens participation input by the citizens and their
advocates, meet the needs of citizens and particularly those who are beneficiaries
of the programs covered in the Consolidated Plan.
Page 322
14
A minimum of two public hearings are held. The first public hearing the City will
make available to citizens, public agencies and other interested parties
information that includes the amount of the Entitlement Grant and a list of sub-
recipient grant requests including the amount that will benefit persons of low and
moderate income. The draft plan will be made available for thirty days in the City
Hall Planning Department at 15 E. Loockerman Street, the Dover Public Library
at 45 S. State Street and on the City’s website. The plan will also be accessible to
persons with disabilities.
The City will consider any comments or views of citizens received in writing or
orally at the public hearing. A summary of these comments or views and
summary of any comments or views not accepted and the reasons therefore, shall
be attached to the plan.
Any amendments to the plan will be advertised in the local newspaper and sent to
Social Service Agencies and Public Housing Officials. The City will provide a
thirty-day period to receive comments on the substantial amendment before the
amendment is implemented. The same procedure will be followed as explained
above.
Performance Reports
The Citizen Plan will provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity
to comment on the Performance Report for the City in which the Department of
Housing and Urban Development distributes annually. A fifteen-day period will
be set aside for comments.
The City will consider any comments or views of citizens received in writing or
orally at public hearings in preparing the Performance Report. A summary of
these comments or views shall be attached to the Performance Report.
F. Response to Comments
The City will consider any comments or views of citizens or units of local
government received in writing, or orally at public hearings, meetings, etc., in
preparing the City’s final Consolidated Plan and Performance Report. The City
must provide a timely written response to written complaints and grievances
within 15 working days. The written response must document the reasons for
whatever action was taken. A summary of these comments and responses shall be
attached to the final Consolidated Plan amendment of the plan or Performance
Report.
G. Criteria for Amendments to Consolidated Plan
The City will publish the proposed amendment in the public notice section of
a local newspaper. Comments will be requested for a thirty-day period, after
Page 323
15
which time, the City will consider any comments received and, if appropriate,
modify the proposed actions. A summary of these comments shall be attached
to the amendment submitted to HUD.
Amendments to the Consolidated Plan
The following criteria will be used in determining what actions will constitute a
substantive change in the City’s planned or actual activities under the
Consolidated Plan, and which will require an amendment to the plan.
● Changes in Allocation Amounts: Any significant change in the allocation
of funds under a specific program or activity defined under the
Consolidated Plan shall require the City to prepare and pass an
amendment to the Consolidated Plan. In the case of changes to specific
allocations, significant change will be defined as any change in the
allocation of funds under a specific program or activity which is greater
than 20% of the total funds allocated to that program or activity. Any
change that involves 10% or more of the total allocation (entitlement plus
program income) in any given grant year, will also be considered a
significant change.
● Changes in the Method of Distribution of Funds: Any significant change
in an established method for the distribution of funds defined within the
Consolidated Plan for a specific program or activity, will require that the
City prepare and pass an amendment to the Consolidated Plan. Significant
in this case will imply that a method(s) for the distribution of funds for the
program or activity was defined within the Consolidated Plan, and the City
subsequently changed this method of distribution (i.e. if the City decided
to distribute funds for a program through a process of soliciting proposals
through a Request For Proposals, and then decided instead to distribute the
funds for the program or activity through a negotiated contract.) The
second criteria, which must also be met for a change in method of
distribution to be considered significant, will be when the funds in
question are greater than 20% of the total CPS funding allocated to that
program or activity.
● Using Consolidation Plan Funds for Activities not described in the
Consolidated Plan: If the City proposes to use funds from any program
covered by the Consolidated Plan (including program income) to carry out
an activity not previously described in the Action Plan, the City will be
required to prepare and request an amendment to the Consolidated Plan.
● Changes in the Location of an Activity: If the City significantly changes
the location of an activity, the City will be required to prepare and request
an amendment to the Consolidated Plan. Changes in the location of an
Page 324
16
activity shall be considered significant if the City had specifically defined
a location for an activity within the Consolidated Plan and subsequently
decides to choose an alternative site for the location of that activity and
thereby shifts the target benefit of that activity to a new area.
● Changes in the Beneficiaries of an Activity: If the City decides to
significantly change the established beneficiaries of a specific activity (a
defined “target group”) defined in the Consolidated Plan, than the City
will be required to prepare and pass an amendment to the Consolidated
Plan. In the case of a change in beneficiaries of an activity, significant
shall mean that the estimated number of individuals of the targeted group
who will be benefited will change more than 10% of the total number of
individuals in that group originally estimated. If an activity benefit is
changed from one national objective to another, the City will not request
an amendment unless other amendment thresholds are met.
H. Consolidated Plan Adoption
The draft Consolidated Plan will be made available to the public per notice in the
Delaware State News, the City’s website and copies available at City Hall and
the Library. Comments received will be considered prior to its adoption. The
Consolidated Plan will be considered adopted once approved by City Council.
Upon adoption, another notice will be placed in the Delaware State News stating
that the Consolidated Plan has been adopted and is on file and available from the
City of Dover.
II.4 IDENTIFICATION OF STAKEHOLDERS AND THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
PROCESS
The Community Development Department identified the major Stakeholders. The
identification of these groups ranged from the City Manager, the Planning and
Community Development Director, the Director of the Homeless Planning Council, the
Executive Director of the House of Pride and their clients, a representative from the
Delaware State Housing Authority, a member of City Council and private citizens.
In the planning process of the Consolidated Plan, the City conducted two goal setting
workshops to determine the needs of the community. Meetings were held by staff on
November 19, 2009 and January 7, 2010. The stakeholders listed above participated and
prioritized the needs of the community. Detailed results of the goal setting workshops
are exhibited in the Strategic Plan on page 42.

Dover Housing Authority Strategy for Addressing Needs
● Employ effective maintenance and management policies to minimize the number
of public housing units off-line.
● Reduce turnover time for vacated public housing units.
● Maintain or increase Section 8 lease-up rates by establishing payment standards
that will enable families to rent throughout the jurisdiction.
● Undertake measures to ensure access to affordable housing among families
assisted by the Public Housing Authority, regardless of unit size required.
Page 327
19
● Maintain or increase Section 8 lease-up rates by marketing the program to
owners, particularly those outside of areas of minority and poverty concentration.
● Maintain or increase Section 8 lease-up rates by effectively screening Section 8
applicants to increase owner acceptance of program.
III.2 CATEGORIES OF PERSONS AFFECTED (24 CFR 91.205 (b))
Very Low-Income (0 to 30% of Median Family Income).
According to the 2000 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data,
which is data used by local governments for housing planning, there are 2,212
households in the very low-income category that are renting housing in the City.
Of those a very high percentage (67.5%) has indicated that they have a housing problem.
Those problems could range from substandard conditions to overcrowding. A high
percentage (65%) pay greater than 30% of their income toward rent and smaller, but still
significant, percentage (54.2%) pay greater than 50% of their income toward rent.
A high percentage (53.1%) of very-low income households is elderly which further limits
their housing options. The Dover Housing Authority has 1128 families on its waiting list
for public housing and Section 8 assistance. Of those, 828 are very low income. The
waiting list is currently open for public housing but closed for Section 8.
In terms of owner-occupants, there are 684 households in the very-low income category.
Of those, a very high percentage (69.3%) indicates that they have a housing problem. A
high percentage (67.2%) pay greater than 30% of their income for housing and a
significant percentage (55%) pay more than 50% of their income for housing. The
percentage of other very-low income owner-occupant households that have housing
problems or suffer from a housing cost burden is 66.7%
Low Income (31 to 50% of the Median Family Income)
According to the 2000 CHAS data, there are 1,047 in the low income category that are
renting in the City of Dover.

65.2% also indicates that they are paying greater than 30% of their income towards rent.
The number paying greater than 50% is (28.3%). The percentage of other low income
renters that have housing problems or suffer from a cost burden is very high at (83.9%).
There are 1,480 households in the low income category that own their own homes. Of
those, (64.7%) are experiencing having a housing problem, and (62.6%) are paying
greater than 30% of their income for housing. The number paying greater than 50% of
their income for housing is (32.7%).
The percentage of other low owner–occupants that have housing problems or suffer from
a housing cost burden is (87.5%).

According to the 2000 CHAS Data Book there are 1,192 households in the other low-
income category that are renting housing in the City.
Of those a very high percentage (52%) has indicated that they have a housing problem.
A high percentage (48.3%) also indicates that they are paying greater than 30% of their

III.3 HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Habitat for Humanity is a national organization that provides home ownership
opportunities to low-income families through a no-interest long-term mortgage. Homes
are sold on a no profit basis to families who are required to take part in a “sweat-equity”
program. The Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity has completed the build of its 14th
home in the City of Dover. Their goal is to complete an additional 3 homes in 2010 in
the City of Dover.

CITY OF DOVER HOMELESS POPULATION
The Homeless Planning Council of Delaware conducted a point-in-time study on January
27, 2009. The number of homeless identified was based on a survey of shelters and other
homeless service providers, providers serving homeless individuals with mental health,
substance abuse disorders, and anecdotal information.
The homeless population for the City of Dover was estimated at 254 individuals. Of the
254 individuals, 200 were adults and 54 were children from the ages of 0-17 accounting
for 32 families. Of the unaccompanied adults (159 persons) 53 met the definition of
chronically homeless which is an unaccompanied individual who has a disabling
condition and has been homeless for a year or more, or had at least four episodes of
homelessness in the past three years. Table 1A diagrams the emergency families
sheltered, transitional families sheltered, permanent families sheltered and emergency
shelters in the City of Dover, with subpopulations for Kent County included on page 26.
HOMELESS NEEDS AND FACILITIES
● The State of Delaware’s welfare reform legislation essentially replaces the idea
of “entitlements” to persons with a new system of incentives linking benefits to
obtaining employment. This argues for expanding job opportunities available to
low and moderate income persons.
● There are a series of programs, grants, and charity foundations that will help
persons “at risk” of homelessness by providing assistance with rent, mortgage
payments, and utility bills on a one time basis. Connections Community Support
Program also provides vouchers for motel stays on a short-term basis. However,
the challenge is to match the program with the persons or households in need.
● There are only two emergency homeless shelters in Kent County, both in the
immediate Dover area. The Shepherd Place is located just south of the Dover
City limits. People’s Place is located on College Road. Both have a maximum
stay of 30 days, and are usually full to capacity with a waiting list. Other
facilities, such as the Salvation Army, open their doors to the homeless during
periods of extreme heat or cold. Dover Interfaith Mission to the Homeless is a
newly established 501(c) 3 that has plans to open a homeless shelter in the City
that will provide 40 to 50 beds year round and provide shelter for 30 to 90 days.
Renovations for this project are currently underway and they are expected to serve
up to 150 homeless persons annually.
● Whatcoat Social Services (now People’s Place) constructed 10 transitional
housing units in 2007 on the land adjacent to the shelter. Clients will participate in
the program for at least two years. While in the program, the clients will be
expected to receive further education, obtain job skills and accept case
Page 333
25
management which will prepare them for eventual home ownership. The goal is
to reduce the housing gap of continuum care in the City of Dover.
● There is a great need for “transitional housing.” It is estimated by the service
providers that it takes the average family a period of 90 days to move from
homelessness, to a stable job and finally to a new home. With the maximum stay
at the emergency shelters limited to 30 days, many families find themselves
homeless a second time before they can obtain more permanent housing.
Homeless Prevention Activities and Chronic Homelessness
Community Development staff has been identified as a Stakeholder and serves as a
member of The Delaware Interagency Homeless Planning Council to oversee the
implementation of the plan and educate the community about the need and for the
advantages of ending chronic homelessness. The City will continue to participate as a
member of the Homeless Council to assist in addressing the needs to end chronic
homelessness.
The City has developed the following goals to assist in homeless prevention:
● Complete a Fair Housing Plan in the fall of 2010 that will identify housing
impediments for the City of Dover, and work to successfully eliminate those
impediments.
● Continue to utilize programs to eliminate significant barriers to affordable
housing.
● Continue working with the two housing authorities and other housing providers to
provide assistance to very low and extremely low income persons.
● Continue working with the Delaware Fair Housing Task Force to ensure fair
treatment and fair housing practices are being administered to City of Dover
residents through outreach and education that will be provided by Dover Housing
Authority and the Kent County Human Relations Division.

Unmet Needs
The Continuum of Care table identifies that there are 1,648 beds needed for transitional
or permanent supportive housing. Of the additional beds, 220 would be designated for
transitional housing for homeless individuals and 1,398 would be designated for the
homeless individual in long term supportive housing. There is no additional need seen
for emergency shelter beds, although current (2010) economic conditions have increased
demand for emergency shelter beds and some providers are reporting a presumably short
term need.

III.5 SPECIAL NEEDS FACILITIES AND SERVICES (24 CFR 91.215(d))
Elderly and the Frail Elderly – Housing for the elderly population has continued to grow
with expansion of existing facilities and the completion of new senior housing
complexes. The City has a large number of assisted living providers including: Luther
Towers, Westminster Village, Luther Village, Owens Manor, Silver Lake, and Courtland
Manor. Dover has 1,228 dedicated senior-living units, of which 489 are independent
living facilities or apartments, 450 are nursing home beds, and 290 assisted living beds.
These facilities typically require a substantial entry fee and $1200 to $2000 per month in
rental and service fees.
Handicapped Disabled - There is one group home in the City of Dover that serves 8
people. The facility is operated by Ken Crest, Inc. located on Walker Road. There are a
number of other single-family dwellings that have been converted to group homes
meeting the definition of a single-family dwelling, contributing to a combined total of
22 beds.
Transitional Housing Recovery Program – The House of Pride provides short-term and
long-term transitional living for those who have a substance abuse as well as a recovery
program that provides an array of services that include prevention education, counseling,
Page 337
29
pre-employment skills, and training required for successful employment in order to gain
the self-sufficiency of the client.
Connections CSP, Inc. – The Connections program has developed a new permanent
housing project which operates in the City of Dover located in the Country Village
Apartments. This project provides rental subsidies for the supervision of 10 homeless
adults who have substance use disorders and who are receiving treatment in Connections’
Alcohol and Drug Day Treatment Program in Kent County.
IV HOUSING MARKET ANALYSIS (24 CFR 91.210)
IV.1 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
At the time of the 2000 Census there were 13,195 dwelling units in the City of Dover. Of
these housing units, 12,340 were occupied. Just over half of these (6,454 or 52%) were
owner occupied with the remaining 5,886 (48%) are rental units. There was a 6.5%
vacancy rate for the rental units. This low vacancy rate indicated a need for rental
housing. .
Dover’s housing stock is of significantly different composition than the housing typically
found in the rest of the State of Delaware and Kent County. In keeping with Dover’s
more urban environment, multi-family units accounted for approximately 34.8% of
housing units in Dover in the year 2000. In the same year, multi-family units composed
only 18.7% of units in the entire state and 14.5% in Kent County. Similarly, 44.8% of
Dover’s housing units were of the single-family detached variety, while this housing type
accounted for 55.9% of all the state’s housing units and 58.4% of all Kent County’s
housing units. The age of Dover’s housing stock is comparable to the age of housing
stock across the State with the median year of construction for owner-occupied houses in
1974. Nearly half of all housing units in the City of Dover were occupied by renters in
the year 2000, while renters occupied less than a third of housing in Kent County and the
State of Delaware.
Reflective of a well-educated and significant professional workforce, a higher percentage
of Dover’s residents have admitted a Bachelor’s degree or higher than have done so at the
State or County level, However, Dover’s median household income of $38,669 is less
than the median income for the State ($47,381) and Kent County ($40,950) as per the
2000 Census data. Also, a greater percentage of Dover’s residents live below the poverty
level than do across the State and County.
The vacancy for owner and renter occupied units indicates there is not a shortage of
housing, but there is a strong demand. The number of new residential housing
developments validates this recently approved by the City of Dover. From 2003-2007 the
City of Dover’s Planning Commission approved a total of 3,755 new residential units. Of
these units, 1,076 were single family detached, 1,207 were single family attached, with
the majority being 1,282 multifamily units. As these numbers indicate, none of the types
of units proposed dominates the other. Grouping the single-family unit types does
however dominate the multi-family. The trend towards providing alternative affordable
Page 338
30
housing opportunities indicates that there is and will continue to be a need for first time
homebuyers and low to moderate-income buyers’ assistance.
IV.2 PUBLIC AND ASSISTED HOUSING (24 CFR 91.210 b)
The City of Dover is served by two public housing authorities: the Dover Housing
Authority and the Delaware State Housing Authority. The two housing authorities
operate public housing units within the City of Dover. The following tables demonstrate
the number of units and the bedroom distribution for both housing authority’s public and
subsidized units:

City of Dover Public Services Department 2010
There are at least 1,016 low to moderate-income rental housing units located in the City
of Dover. Of these units, 317 are designated as elderly with 599 units being family.
Using the 2000 U. S. Census data that there are 13,195 dwelling units in the City, low to
moderate-income rental units account for 7% of the housing stock. When considered in
combination with public housing there are a total of 1,386 rental units available to low to
moderate-income persons in the City of Dover at below market rates and account for 11%
of the total housing stock.
IV.3 SECTION 8 HOUSING
Both the Dover Housing Authority and the Delaware State Housing Authority provide
rental assistance to low and moderate-income persons through HUD's Section 8 Program.
The following tables demonstrate the number of units and the bedroom distribution for
both housing authorities Section 8 Rental Vouchers:

The Dover Housing Authority offers a total of 220 rental vouchers through the Section 8
program issued by HUD. All of these are tenant based, meaning that they are offered
only to tenants of DHA’s waiting list. Presently 84% of these vouchers were under lease
agreements, with the exception of 30 mainstream vouchers in which 100% are in
utilization. Currently 657 applicants are on the waiting list which was closed on January
1, 2010.

The Delaware State Housing Authority offers a total of 905 rental vouchers through the
Section 8 program for the State of Delaware. These vouchers are offered to families
seeking housing within the three counties of the State. There are no anticipated "losses"
to the Section 8 inventory due to prepayment or voluntary termination of a federally
assisted mortgage.
DSHA is the Public Housing Authority for Kent and Sussex Counties with the exception
of the City of Dover. DSHA owns and operates 508 units of Public Housing located
throughout both counties and administers 905 Housing Choice Vouchers subsidizing rent
in private-sector housing. In addition, DSHA administers 50 Family Unification
Vouchers (FUP). FUP is a program under which vouchers are provided to families for
Page 341
33
whom the lack of adequate housing is a primary factor in the imminent placement of the
family’s child, or children, in out-of-home care; or the delay in the discharge of the child,
or children, to the family from out of home care. Youths at least 18 years old and not
more than 21 years old who left foster care at age 16 or older and who do not have
adequate housing are also eligible to receive housing assistance. DSHA currently
allocates 20 vouchers for family unification and 30 vouchers for foster youth.
Dover’s owner occupied housing units are what one would expect in a community that
went through major growth during the Post-War suburbanizing period. Most of these
units have three or more bedrooms. Dover had 13,357 dwelling units in 2000, in which
12,340 were owner occupied. This represents a 26% increase in total units available from
1990 to 2000. Of the occupied units, 52% were owner occupied and 48% were rental
units, which was a 2% increase in occupied rental units from 1990. The median value of
an owner occupied dwelling unit was $111,300 in 2000. The median gross rent for the
renter occupied unit was $577. The typical apartment unit has 2 bedrooms. One bedroom
and three bedrooms hold 30 and 20% of the market respectfully.
IV.4 BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING (24 CFR 91.210 (e))
At this time, it is the City of Dover's contention that there are no "barriers to affordable
housing" which describes dwelling units whose total costs are deemed “affordable” to
those who have a median income. The following is a sample of current public policies,
which support and encourage affordable housing:
• Inclusionary Zoning - Unlike many communities, Dover has not practiced
“exclusionary zoning” were most of the underdeveloped land is designated for
large lot single family detached homes. To the contrary, The Dover Plan
(Dover’s Comprehensive Plan) designates a large portion of underdeveloped
lands for medium density housing, and a smaller but significant portion for high
density housing. The land is subsequently zoned accordingly, permitting a range
of residential densities and housing types. The most recent plan, the 2008
Comprehensive Plan was adopted in February 2009. The Land Development Plan
specifically identifies a range of residential land uses from low density to high
density throughout the City. The plan continues to recommend a range of
residential densities and focuses specifically on housing in one chapter.
• Traditional Neighborhood Design Zone - The ordinance establishing the
Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND) was adopted in 2004 allows for the
creation of a walkable pedestrian friendly mixed-use neighborhood with
residential, commercial, and professional office areas. As the first TND project in
the City, the Eden Hill Farm TND is under construction. By the end of 2009 Phase
I of the residential district included a total of 21 townhouses with construction of
additional townhouse units and duplex units anticipated in 2010. In 2008, the first
office building in the office district was completed. The general overall master
plan for the development incorporates a mix of residential types from single family
homes to townhouses and the potential for apartments over commercial uses.
Page 342
34
• Planned Neighborhood Design Option – The Planned Neighborhood Design
(PND) encourages superior site design by relaxing bulk standards, requiring more
open space and recreational areas, permitting various housing styles in all zones,
and providing incentives to mix housing types to encourage less homogeneous
development patterns. Accessory apartment associated with single family
residences are permitted if certain design criteria are met. Density bonuses for
community features (such as neighborhood commercial uses for day care centers)
are offered. Although there are no direct requirements for affordable housing or
subsidized units, clearly these types of units could easily accommodate within
these style developments. Four PND developments are currently under
construction (Lexington Glen, Clearview Meadows, Village of Cannon Mills and
Patriot Village) and propose to offer over 800 new housing units including single
family detached, townhouses, duplexes, and apartment units. Stonebrook West
and Stonebrook East are PND projects yet to start construction. Phase I of the
Luther Village PND provides 68 units and Phase II provides 32 units in a Senior
Citizen Housing Option for low & very low income persons. Several other PND
projects pending construction are under the senior citizen housing option are The
Arbors and Dove View Senior Apartments. Several apartment projects are also
under review including Woodmill Apartment Expansion and Leander Lakes
Apartments that will provide this housing type adjacent to other residential types
and near commercial areas. Blue Hen Apartments Complex is currently under
construction.
• Incentives for Downtown Development - In order to encourage the redevelopment
of downtown Dover, special incentives are offered in specified areas. These
incentives include parking requirement reductions, tax incentives, sanitary sewer
and water impact fee waivers, and building permit fee caps. In addition, many
properties may be eligible for Historic Preservation Tax Credits. The Downtown
Dover Partnership offers a façade grant program.
• Support of Public and Assisted Housing - In the City of Dover there are two full
service housing authorities, and numerous assisted housing projects offering
below market rents to those with low to moderate incomes. Currently there are
1,174 of these units in the city, which represents nearly 10% of Dover's total
housing stock. It is the City of Dover's policy to support the activities of our two
housing authorities. In addition, there are no policy-based disincentives for the
construction of additional assisted housing units in appropriate zoning districts.
• Lien Forgiveness for Habitat For Humanity - The City of Dover has a policy to
forgive any liens for back taxes on properties which is acquired by Habitat for
Humanity. This policy serves to provide an incentive to rehabilitate older
properties, and place them back in the housing stock as owner occupied units.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
In preparation for determining the needs of the community, the City conducted a series of
workshops to obtain the views of citizens, State agencies, Civic Leaders and the State
Public Housing Authority. The comments are listed below.
Homeless Needs:
The City of Dover is involved in several efforts to promote homeownership throughout
the City, but particularly in the Downtown Target Area. The Target Area is defined The
City will review alternatives for zoning amendments that promote general availability of
affordable homeownership opportunities as well as continue to provide CDBG funding to
projects that will assist with the homeless needs in the city.
Housing Needs:
Throughout the five years, the City will prioritize housing needs in the Target Area and
throughout the City limits. The housing initiatives will include housing rehabilitation,
emergency home repairs, and expand minority homeownership with the assistance of
down payment assistance.
The City through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program will provide affordable
housing with the purchase of foreclosed properties that will be renovated and brought up
to code to be sold to qualifying homebuyers. The City will also provide CDBG funding
for the renovation of housing units Citywide to be sold to low to moderate income
families and continue to partner with NCALL to provide down payment assistance to low
to moderate income families throughout the City.
Public Service Needs:
The City will continue with the Crime Prevention Program as part of a need determined
in the public workshop. This program has been very successful in the target area in the
area of reducing crime. The city will also continue to support social service programs
that will provide services to low income persons.
Public Facilities:
The Eight-O-One Shelter who provides emergency diagnostic shelter serves for children
and youth between the ages of 10 and 18 who are at risk for abuse, neglect, dependency
and homelessness, has plans for development of a Youth Activity Center. This center will
provide an environment in which homeless children and youth earn access to specialized
recreational activities. The Activity Center will assist young people by positively
reinforcing behaviors which are directed at the importance of respecting themselves and
others, their own property and the property of others.
Infrastructure Improvements:
The City of Dover began the streets improvement project in FY03 to reconstruct the
streets and curbs in the Target Area to increase the livability of the neighborhood. CDBG
funds and other funding sources were used to complete this project. A reconstruction
project of streets, sidewalks and curbs was completed in 2006. In future years, the City
Page 344
36
will fund street and sidewalk construction .in other low to moderate income areas
throughout the City.
Economic Development:
Economic development is one of the most important issues facing the City of Dover over
the next 20 years. The City of Dover effectively serves as the core of central Delaware
and is the leader in the area’s economic growth. Today, more than half of the population
of Kent County lives in and around Dover. Dover is a city that hosts a diverse mixture of
major commercial and manufacturing firms, in addition to a large retail, hospitality and
public sector. Regional development patterns and recent improvements in the area’s
transportation infrastructure have increased the accessibility of Dover to and from larger
urban markets north and west of the City. Consequently, the City is in a position to attract
and benefit from new and developing economic sectors.
The City of Dover 2008 Comprehensive Plan has developed Economic Development
Goals that the City will implement throughout the five year plan. The following is an
excerpt from Chapter 10 of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Economic Development Goals

V STRATEGIC PLAN (24 CFR 91.25)
V.1 GENERAL (A)
This Consolidated Plan was prepared in compliance with the federal regulations requiring
a Consolidated Plan every five years. The majority of the information has been updated;
however, most of the base population numbers are over ten years old since they reference
2000 Census data. An analysis of the population information and HUD’s requirements
was conducted by the Community Development Staff in conjunction with the City's
Focus Groups. The following priorities have been prepared to guide our Community
Development Block Grant Program into the next five years.
A goal setting workshop was held on November 19, 2009 and January 7, 2010. The
stakeholders and citizens were given the opportunity to determine the needs of the
community. The following table demonstrates the results of the voting exercise of
Community Development needs in order of priority.
TABLE V – 1 PRIORITY RANKING RESULTS
Total # of
Priority Categories Priority Needs Participants
Surveyed
Housing Needs 2 7
Infrastructure Improvements 6 7
Public Service Needs 3 7
Homeless Needs 1 7
Public Facilities Needs 5 7
Economic Development Needs 4 7
The results of the voting led to the formulation of specific goals and objectives for the
2010-2014 Consolidated Plan. The rankings are attributed to actual subcategory voting
and combination of similar activities. In total, approximately 7 people participated in the
goal setting workshops. The results combined with the guidelines from Housing and
Urban Development have led us to establish 5 goals and objectives.
The Goals follow in order of priority:
Priority Goal Specific
1 Goal Provide aid to special needs persons.
2 Goal Preserve the existing housing stock in the City.
3 Goal Encourage owner occupied housing in low to moderate income
areas.
Page 350
42
4 Goal Provide safe and livable neighborhoods.
5 Goal Aid economic opportunity in low to moderate income areas.
V.2 STRATEGY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING (24 CFR 91.215 (b))
As the entity responsible for HUD CDBG Entitlement Funds, the City of Dover is
responsive to the housing needs of its low-moderate income residents. The City
provides a wide variety of services to all of its residents as well as an increased effort to
accommodate the needs of low-moderate income families. The City offers the following
strategic plan to address the needs identified.
The needs were developed through the Consolidated Plan process by the Community
Development Department. The following strategies for the affordable housing are
grouped together in a prioritiy set forth by HUD:
PRIORITY: PROVIDE DECENT HOUSING
GOAL 1: Encourage owner occupied housing in low/moderate-income areas.
OBJECTIVES:
The City through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program will purchase foreclosed
properties, renovate and sell to qualifying homebuyers.
The City will continue with the Homeownership Downpayment and Settlement
Assistance Program to qualified families or individuals with assistance of up to
$10,000.00.
GOAL 2: Preserve the existing housing stock in the City of Dover.
OBJECTIVES:
The City will continue to rehabilitate owner occupied homes with families who are low to
moderate income.
The City will provide assistance to emergency repairs housing programs that will
eliminate severe housing conditions that constitute health and safety hazards.
The City will address the infrastructure needs in qualifying census tract areas with the
reconstruction of streets and curbs.
Page 351
43
GOAL 3: Provide safe and livable neighborhoods.
OBJECTIVE:
The City will work in conjunction with the Dover Police Department to continue
Community Policing in the target area.
GOAL 4: Provide aid to special needs persons
OBJECTIVE:
The City will support the city’s homeless population by working with non-profit
organizations and other housing providers.
V.3 BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING (24 CFR 91.215(e))
At this time, it is the City of Dover's contention that there are no "barriers to affordable
housing" which is the result of public policy.
V.4 INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE
Current Institutional Structure
Dover's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is administered by the
Dover Community Development Office. This office is a part of the City of Dover
Department of Planning and Inspections. As needed, the Department of Planning and
Inspections provides planning, administrative, and other assistance to the Community
Development Office.
The Community Development Manager has been designated by the Mayor to manage and
disperse CDBG funds. In order to assist the Manager in the preparation of plans, drafting
of priorities and review of funding applications, the Parks, Recreation, and Community
Enhancement Committee (PR&CE) has been designated as the review committee. This
committee is comprised of three City Council persons and two citizens. The PR&CE
Committee also votes on and has final approval on funding applications.
Organizational Relationships
The City of Dover has close working relationships with the service providers and housing
authorities in Dover. These relationships are described below:
Public Housing: The City of Dover is served by two housing authorities. The Delaware
State Housing Authority (DSHA) is a statewide organization. The Dover Housing
Page 352
44
Authority (DHA) is a local agency, which only operates within Dover. Both of these
Housing Authorities offer Public Housing, Section 8 rental assistance, and supportive
services to residents of Dover. The City of Dover supports and assists these housing
authorities through direct funding, zoning accommodation, and infrastructure
improvements where necessary. The City of Dover and the two housing authorities are
also linked through a continuous dialogue about housing and planning issues in Dover.
Homeless Shelter: The Ruth N. Dorsey Shelter, operated by Peoples Place II is the only
homeless shelter in the City of Dover. This facility provides 46 beds for homeless
families. The City of Dover has supported the shelter over the past several years by
providing CDBG funding to address their renovation needs.
Other Service Providers: The City of Dover regularly works with other members of the
local network of service providers. These providers include:
The House of P.R.I.D.E.
Peoples Place II
NCALL
City of Dover Police Department
Dover Interfaith Mission
Diamond State Community Land Trust
Gaps in the Delivery System
There are specific barriers to Fair Housing that continue to permeate the fabric of the
City of Dover’s communities that still have not been addressed in the State’s Analysis of
Impediments. These impediments will be addressed in the 2010 Analysis of
Impediments that will be completed in the fall of 2010.
Strengths in the Delivery System
The City is in the process of addressing the barriers to fair housing that exist in the City
and the State and will include specific actions the City will take to address the
impediments to further fair housing. The 2010 Analysis of Impediments is underway.
The City is part of the collaboration with Delaware State Housing Authority, New Castle
County and the City of Wilmington to implement this plan.
Community Development staff is still an active member on the Fair Housing Task Force
of Delaware and will continue to provide outreach and education in the community.
Gaps in the Delivery System for Public Housing
The City has successfully bridged the gap in the system in our relationship with Dover
Housing Authority (DHA). Since 2005, the City has provided grants to DHA to renovate
two homes in the City’s target area to be sold to low to moderate income persons as part
of Senator Carper’s Homeownership Initiative.
Strengths in the Delivery System for Public Housing
The City has joined a partnership with Dover Housing Authority as one of the three
partners for funding received from Delaware State Housing Authority for the
Page 353
45
Neighborhood Stabilization Program to purchase foreclosed and abandoned properties,
renovate them and sell them qualified homebuyers. The City is also working with Dover
Housing Authority in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity for a one day clean up event
in the target area focusing on improving curb appeal and streetscape in the downtown
target area that is scheduled for August 2010.
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
The City of Dover has collaborated with Delaware State Housing Authority, New Castle
County and the City of Wilmington to complete and Analysis of Impediments that is
expected to be completed in the fall of 2010. The study will include a breakdown of the
impediments specifically for the City of Dover, in which the city will take measures to
eliminate once identified.
The Community Development Manager is also a member of the Delaware Fair Housing
Task Force that continues to work effortlessly to eliminate the impediments throughout
the State of Delaware.
V.5 PUBLIC HOUSING IMPROVEMENTS
The Dover Housing Authority has established the following objectives for fiscal year
2010:
1. With funds received through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,
the Authority is making energy efficiency improvements in all of its public
housing units. The Authority is improving window and door seals, installing
additional insulation, and installing energy efficient hot water heaters. At its
elderly site, Queen Manor Senior Apartments, the Authority is making
improvements to the roof and replacing all unit windows to energy rated
windows.
2. The second major project started in calendar year 2010 is major renovations to
be completed on units at the Authority’s Senate View public housing
development. The renovations will include installation of additional site
lighting and installation of a security system to ensure the safety and security
of the residents as well as the construction site.
3. Through its subsidiary, Dover Community Partnership, Inc., the Authority
will re-start its efforts to revitalize a 20-block area of Downtown Dover.
PUBLIC HOUSING RESIDENT INITIATIVES:
The Dover Housing Authority continues to provide services and programs that empower
residents achieve economic self-sufficiency:
1. Family Self-Sufficiency Program
2. Homeownership Program (Public Housing, Section 8 Housing Choice
Voucher, and the Carper/City of Dover Homeownership Initiative (available
to the general public meeting program criteria)
Page 354
46
3. GED/ABE Literacy Classes
4. Employment Training for Adults and Youth
5. After School and Summer Programs for Youth
6. Life Skills and Soft Skills Training for Adults
V.6 LEAD BASED PAINT HAZARD REDUCTION
In 2000, the City of Dover had 13,359 housing units in its jurisdiction based on 2000
US Census Data. Of those 5,886 are renter occupied and 6,454 are owner occupied. Of
our renter-occupied units 3,376 units or about 70% of the total were built before 1979. Of
the owner-occupied unites 4,179 units or about 80% of the total were built before 1979.
Although the City does not have detailed data on the potential incidence of the lead-based
paint hazard, these statistics at least indicate that the City’s housing stock is highly “at-
risk”. In addition, a high incidence of the rental (65%) and owner occupied (35%) units
that are “at-risk” are occupied by very-low income families that are at least able to be in
position to afford the abatement of the hazard if it does exist.
Currently, the State of Delaware of Public Health enforces lead-based paint abatement
within the City of Dover. Under the State’s program, families with children who have
been diagnosed by the Public Health Centers with lead poisoning are referred to a State
Lead-Based Paint Inspector. The Inspector then performs the relevant technical analysis
of the family residence. If lead-based paint is discovered, abatement is required. The City
of Dover Department of Inspections acts in partnership with the State in assuring that
lead based paint hazards are reduced or eliminated, and the affected housing units are
brought up to code.
The City currently requires lead-based paint testing and abatement in conjunction with its
Home Repair Loan Program and CDBG rehabilitation programs. The City of Dover
Department of Planning and Inspections does not have the equipment necessary to
accurately identify lead-based paint during housing inspections. However, the City staff
attended Lead-Based paint workshop and is currently working with the State Health
Department for Inspector training and certification.
In addition to the activities of the City of Dover and the State of Delaware Department of
Public Health, the Dover Housing Authority has been active in lead-based paint
abatement in the City. The Dover Housing Authority has tested and abated lead-based
paint in all its Public Housing units. The Dover Housing Authority also deals with the
lead based paint hazard in private rental units through the enforcement of the Housing
Quality Standards in conjunction with its Section 8 Rental Voucher Program.
V.7 ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGY
In 2000, the US Census found that approximately 13.8% of Dover's population lived
below the poverty level. This percentage was somewhat higher than surrounding areas in
Page 355
47
Kent County (which had 8.1% of the population below poverty level) and higher than the
average for the State of Delaware (6.5%). Clearly, there is a concentration of persons
living below the poverty level in Dover.
To address poverty within the City of Dover, a multi-faceted Anti Poverty Strategy will
be described below. This strategy stresses partnership with and the support of other
agencies and organizations. Within the City of Dover there are two full service housing
authorities, and various social service agencies which need and deserve the City's
support. In addition to these service providers, the City of Dover will direct
revitalization, economic development, and code enforcement efforts at low to moderate
income neighborhoods. This will provide quality places for people in these
neighborhoods to live and work, and provide them with new and better opportunities to
earn a living.
The following are the four main elements of the City of Dover's Anti-Poverty Strategy:
• Highest Priority Given to Funding Proposals which Address or Fight Poverty:
The City of Dover’s PR&CE Committee will give the highest priority in the Five
Year Plan to proposals which are targeted towards those living in poverty. These
proposals must be consistent with one or more of the following Priorities
identified in this plan:
o Encourage Affordable Owner Occupied Housing in Low to Moderate
Income Areas
o Improve Quality of Housing Stock
o Aid in Economic Opportunities in Low to Moderate Income Areas
• Support Family Self-Sufficiency Programs and other Resident
Initiatives/Counseling Programs at Dover's Housing Authorities: Both the
Delaware State Housing Authority and the Dover Housing Authority provide their
residents with support and assistance in job training, parenting, counseling,
financial management, and other skills. These programs are integrated in the
housing programs through the Family Self-Sufficiency Program and/or other
Resident Initiatives. It is the position of the City of Dover that these programs
provide excellent opportunities for those in public housing to become
economically and socially self sufficient. The City of Dover will provide
assistance and support as requested to encourage the continuance of these
programs.
• Support the Various Social Service Providers that serve Dover's poor: There is a
network of service providers presently operating in Dover that serve the City's
poor. These providers include The State of Delaware Division of Health and
Social Services and the State Service Centers. There are also numerous non-
profit corporations within the City, including the House of Pride and People’s
Place and Dover Interfaith Mission to the homeless. The City will support the
Page 356
48
missions and the functions of these organizations by providing technical and
planning support, and when possible implementing physical improvements to
infrastructure, which serves these facilities.
• Economic Development: The only way to solve the problem of poverty is to help
families earn more money. To do so, there must be an abundant supply of jobs
available to low and moderate income persons. It is the strategy of the City to use
multiple approaches to job creation.
Through the Downtown Dover Partnership encourages the development and
expansion of businesses in the Downtown Area. A special focus should be firms,
which provide jobs for low to moderate-income persons. Job creation in the
Downtown area will serve the dual goals of maintaining and enhancing the older
buildings in this historic area, and providing employment in close proximity to a
low to moderate income neighborhood.
The Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce encourages the development of new
business elsewhere in the Dover area. The attraction and retention of new
corporations and manufacturing firms to Dover will provide additional jobs for
low to moderate-income persons. One opportunity for new business location is the
Garrison Oak Technology Park.

VI.3 BACKGROUND
The Congress of the U.S., through the enactment of the “Housing and Community
Development Act of 1992, has authorized that Federal funds be allocated to the
entitlement community, the City of Dover, Delaware, to support Community
Development activities within the boundaries of the City.
ADMINISTRATION RESPONSIBILITY AND CERTIFICATION
The Mayor and Council has duly adopted as an official act a resolution authorizing
Tracey N. Harvey as the official representative of the City of Dover to submit
certifications to the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development that are
required by Section 106(d) (2) (c) (iv) of the Housing and Community Development Act
of 1974, as amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. A copy
of the certifications can be found in section VIII titled “Certifications” in this document.
AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE FUNDS
The City of Dover is in receipt of fiscal year 2010 CDBG fund assignment. The total
fiscal year 2010 fund assignment for Dover is $296,526. An amendment will be made
during fiscal 2010 to allocate the additional funding received from HUD.
PROGRAM DESIGN
The City CDBG Program has been designed so as:
To give maximum feasible priority to activities which will benefit low and
moderate income persons; or
To aid in the prevention of slums or neighborhood blight; and to meet other
Community Development needs having a particular urgency because existing
conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health and welfare of the
community where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs.
The funds shall principally benefit persons of low and moderate income in a
manner that ensures that not less than 70 percent of such funds are used for
activities that benefit low and moderate income.
Page 360
52
VI.4 Resources (24 CFR 91.220 (b))
FEDERAL PROGRAMS (24 CFR 91.220 (b) (1))
The City of Dover anticipates that it will be pursuing funding opportunities in
conjunction with the following federal programs to support the activities specified in this
Consolidated Plan:
Public Housing Development Program: Provides capital grants to local public housing
authorities for the acquisition and/or rehabilitation of existing rental properties, or the
construction of new rental units for low-income families. Responsible agency:
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Community Development Block Grant: See local program description.
Affordable Housing Program: Provides subsidy funds for low-income and moderate-
income households through number of institutions of the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board (FHLBB) for the purchase, construction or rehabilitation of affordable rental or
owner occupied housing. Responsible agency: FHLBB.
Community Investment Program: Provides funds through number of institutions of the

Lead Based Paint Abatement Program: Provides grants to abate lead-based paint and
lead dust in low and moderate-income owner occupied units, and in low-income privately
owned rental units. Responsible agency: Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
NON-FEDERAL PUBLIC PROGRAMS (24 CFR 91.220 (b) (2))
1. STATE PROGRAMS
Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (HRLP): Kent County provides home
improvement loans to owner-occupants or landlords interested in moderately
rehabilitating existing properties. These loans, up to a maximum amount of $15,000 per
unit, are made at 3% interest rate for a term up to ten years. Program is available
statewide.
2. LOCAL PROGRAMS
City of Dover Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program: This program
has been designed to expand housing opportunities and housing choices for low and
moderate income persons living in targeted areas of Dover, to protect the public health
and welfare of Dover citizens, especially low and moderate income persons by:
Page 361
53
1) Preventing or eliminating slums or neighborhood blight.
2) Rehabilitation of Substandard Owner Occupied Housing
3) Infrastructure needs met in the target area
The following is a brief list of the projects funded through the City of Dover CDBG
program from previous funding years to demonstrate the range of activities covered by
the program:
From 2008 to 2009 there were 12 owner occupied homes rehabilitated to meet
standards of the City Housing Code under the Homeowner Rehabilitation
Assistance Program.
From 2000 to 2010, down payment and settlement assistance was provided to a
total of 72 first time home buyers who are low to moderate income persons
through the Dover First Start Program.
In 2007, CDBG funds were used to rehabilitate 5 residential rental units in the
Downtown Target Area in which one unit has been made handicap accessible and
all units’ service low to moderate income persons.
In 2007 and 2008, Connections Community Support Program was provided a grant
for operating cost to provide meals and furnishings for 10 Easy Access 2
Permanent Housing residents who were seeking support to break the cycle of
chronic homelessness. Funding was also provided for motel vouchers to provide
temporary housing to homeless persons.
From 2005 to 2010, the First State Resource Development Council has provided
quality emergency home repairs to 36 homeowners eliminating conditions that
constitute health and safety hazards.
Target Block Program: The purpose of the target block approach is to concentrate
resources available to the public, private, and non-profit sectors for housing programs in
a specific area (known as the Target Area). The Target Area consists of one of Dover’s
oldest working class neighborhoods located in west central Downtown. This
concentrated approach is to insure the likelihood of an immediate visual impact and long-
term stabilizing effect of each area.
The major element of the Target Block Program will be concentrated home-to-home
internal inspection to determining deficiencies which need to be corrected. Substandard
housing requiring plumbing, electrical update to meet the Dover Building Code, but
which is basically sound and suitable for rehabilitation has been targeted. A sufficient
number of low and moderate income families must reside in the area.
Page 362
54
Inclusionary Zoning: Unlike many communities, Dover has not practiced “exclusionary
zoning” were most of the undeveloped land is designated for large lot single family
detached homes. To the contrary, Dover’s Comprehensive Land Development Plan
designates a large portion of undeveloped lands for moderate density housing, and a
smaller but significant portion for high density housing. The land is subsequently zoned
accordingly, permitting a range of residential densities and housing types.
The City of Dover Zoning Ordinance includes two provisions promoting mixed
residential developments. The first called the Planned Neighborhood Design Option
encourages superior site design by relaxing bulk standards, requiring more open space
and recreational areas, permitting various housing styles in all zones, and providing
incentives to mix housing types to encourage less homogeneous development patterns.
Accessory apartments associated with single family residences are permitted if certain
design criteria are met. Density bonuses for community features (such as neighborhood
commercial uses or day care centers) are offered. Although there are no direct
requirements for affordable housing or subsidized units, clearly these types of units could
easily be accommodated within these style developments. Four PND developments
under construction are currently pending promise to offer over a variety of new housing
units including single family detached, townhouses, duplexes, and apartment units.
The second provision for mixed use development is the Traditional Neighborhood Design
Zone. This zoning classification was adopted in November of 2004. As stated in the
ordinance, “the intent of the Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND) zone is to create a
walkable and pedestrian friendly, economically viable professional, commercial and
mixed use residential neighborhood for people of different ages and incomes that draw
from the best architectural and community design features of Delaware and the Delmarva
Peninsula.” The TND encourages greater integration of land uses and diversity of lot
sizes. There are no direct requirements for affordable housing or subsidized units
however; these types of units could be accommodated within this style of development.
One TND project is currently under construction.
Proactive Code Enforcement: The City of Dover has adopted the 2009 ICC International
Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) as its Housing Code and has four full time Code
Enforcement Officers dedicated to enforcing the provisions of the IPMC and other
provisions of the Dover Code. The Officers work throughout the City, but has
concentrated efforts on the older neighborhoods in west central Dover. Code
Enforcement Staff routinely inspect rental dwelling units to ensure that they meet the
requirements of the IPMC. Inspections typically include all exterior and interior
structural members, heating, plumbing, and venting systems, space requirements, sanitary
facilities and exterior property maintenance.
3. PRIVATE RESOURCES
For-Profit
In the for-profit area the major resources for housing will be local lending institutions that
are looking for quality housing projects (Ownership and rental) to support in conjunction
Page 363
55
with their requirement to comply with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Several
local banking institutions in response to CRA requirements have joined together to form
the Delaware Community Investment Council. The Council will provide low-interest
loans to non-profits for developing affordable housing.
Favorable mortgage lending terms for projects not typically financed that are in areas
under-served by local financial institutions will be the primary resource expected.
Non-Profit
There are several non-profit foundations that serve the Dover area and have established
housing, and housing related services as priorities for their annual or semi-annual grants.
Among them are the following:
Delaware Community Foundation
Crystal Trust
Milton and Hattie Kutz Foundation
Gannett Communities Funds
In addition to non-profit foundations there are several non-profit organizations that
provide housing or housing related services. For example the National Council on
Agricultural Life and Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL) provides comprehensive
home ownership counseling services and technical assistance to non-profits involved with
the HOME program and Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity and Dover’s First Start
Home Ownership Down Payment and Settlement Program.
VI.4 ACTION PLAN GOALS
The following are the five year goals that will be implemented from the Consolidated
Plan.
1. Provide aid to special needs persons.
2. Preserve the existing housing stock in the City.
3. Encourage owner occupied housing in low to moderate income areas
4. Provide decent and safe neighborhoods
5. Aid economic opportunity in low to moderate income areas.

VI.9 HUD FUNDED HOMELESS AND OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS ACTIVITIES
At the present time, there are three scattered site neighborhood homes that have been
developed by the Alliance for the Mentally Ill in Delaware. These homes provide
housing for persons who are very low chronically mentally ill. The homes have been
funded through the HUD Section 202 Program so that the residents pay 30% of their
adjusted gross income for rent and utilities. The homes have project based rent subsidies.
The Delaware HIV Consortium’s HOPWA (Housing Opportunities for People with
AIDS) program. The consortium entered into a contract with the Delaware State Housing
Authority to provide tenant based rental assistance to people with HIV/AIDS in the State
of Delaware. This program is now fully operational statewide. Clients are referred to the
program by staff from agencies that provide HIV case management services such as Kent
County Counseling Services and the Division of Public Health Offices in Dover. In Kent
County, the program currently provides rental assistance to approximately 35 families
and has an additional waiting list of 270 families. Because the demand for the program is
greater than can be met, staff encourages all program participants and potential program
participants to apply for alternate forms of subsidized housing through such avenues as
Dover Housing Authority and the Delaware State Housing Authority.

The following is the resolution that will be submitted for adoption by the Dover City
Council on June 28, 2010 to approve the Application for Federal Assistance for fiscal

DOVER FIRE DEPARTMENT
2009 ANNUAL REPORT
Page 387
June 14, 2010
Mayor and City Council
PO Box 475
Dover, DE 19903
Dear Mayor Carey and members of City Council:
The members of the Dover Fire Department experienced a challenging year for 2009 and
although the economy is still not at its best, we are looking forward to a better 2010.
The year started out with the continuation of Haggerty and Haggerty Recommendation
Committee Meetings with the goal of finding a solution to address the needs of the DFD
and continue the excellent partnership with the City of Dover and members of City
Council. This month also brought the discontinuation of the Kent County Special
Operations due to the inability to financially support or manage the program.
In February, the Fire Marshal Investigation Units were relocated to Station 1 allowing
proper storage and faster deployment of the units due to a centralized location.
Carter Knotts retired in March after 28 years of service leaving a vacant position in the
Fire Chief’s Office. This position was temporarily filled by Dispatcher Osika and
Dispatcher Carey was temporarily placed in the rotating shift schedule.
In April, the first of two Firefighter’s Night Out (Can you take the heat) events took
place. These events were held to give City Council and Department Heads a first hand
experience of volunteer firefighter. The design of a new fire alarm activation report was
started to allow the Fire Marshal’s Office a better way to mitigate and track activations.
In May, City Council accepted the recommendations of the Haggerty and Haggerty Joint
Committee Meetings as a way to improve the working relationship between City Council
and the Fire Department.
July was a month of transition for the Dover Fire Department with the resignation of
several officers. The resignations included Chief Strochine, and Assistant Chiefs Glenn
Whitt, Jason Osika, and Derek Larson.

The Delaware Volunteer Firefighters Association Annual Conference took place in
September. This conference offers various fire and medical seminars with guest speakers
from around the country.
Fire Prevention Week is in October and members of the Dover Fire Department were
able to reach out to over 3,000 children within our fire district. Due to an increase in
kitchen fires, Mayor Carey and the DFD held a joint press conference to demonstrate
how to properly extinguish a fire on a stove and explained the dangers of unattended
cooking.
Due to poor weather conditions in December, the Annual Operation Santa was cancelled.
In 2009, the Fire Department saw a 42% reduction in State Funding and we don’t
anticipate an increase for the following year.
Although the year has been difficult, we will continue to provide superior fire & rescue
services to the citizens of the City of Dover and surrounding areas.
Sincerely,
Sean P.M. Christiansen

DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Police DATE SUBMITTED: 5/26/10
PREPARED BY: Captain Steven Getek / Administrative Division Commander
SUBJECT: 2010 Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Justice Assistance Grant
REFERENCE: Recurring Grant Funding
RELATED PROJECT: N/A
APPROVALS: Committee
EXHIBITS: N/A
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $86,575 AMOUNT BUDGETED: n/a
FUNDING SOURCE: USDOJ Grant (as noted above)
TIMETABLE: After approval is received from the Council, the Police Department will spend the
funds according to the city purchasing policy.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend Council approve purchases at the June 28, 2010 session.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The Dover Police Department recently received its annual allocation from the Office of Justice Programs
(OJP) for the 2010 Justice Assistance Grant (JAG). Similar to previous years, Dover Police Department was
identified as a disparate funding agency along with Smyrna Police Department and Kent County. There really is
no disparate funding situation between the three entities because there is no law enforcement function at the
county level. This is because law enforcement is provided by municipal police departments or the State Police
for areas lying outside of incorporated limits within the county. In addition, the county also does not bear the
cost for prosecution or incarceration that arises for Part 1 violent crimes since these costs are budgeted and
paid for by the State of Delaware.
The disparate condition above requires the submission of a joint grant application for the three agencies.
Since Dover Police Department will be receiving the lion’s share of the amount, we will serve as the fiscal and
administrative agent for the grant. This means that all funds for the grant will be disbursed through City of
Dover accounts; however, Smyrna Police Department expenses will still be controlled and approved by the City
of Smyrna.
The table below shows the breakout of funds and the items the Dover Police Department plans to
purchase with these funds.
Dover Police Department Amount
1. Police Department website design $50,000
2. Supplemental computer upgrades and enhancements (not previously budgeted) 22,800
Subtotal $72,800
Smyrna Police Department $13,775
Grand Total $86,575
Page 445
Notes on Dover Police Department Expenses:
Web Design Services ($50,000) – The city initiated a Request for Proposal package earlier this spring and
received several bids from web design companies. Funding at the time was not secured for the Police
Department portion, but the specifications for requirements were worked out by the working group that
was put together for this project. The solicitation for this grant came up at the opportune time, so its
funding will be used for this purpose.
Supplemental Computer Upgrades and Enhancements ($22,800) – The technological environment in Law
Enforcement is constantly changing and the Police Department is often faced with finding funds to either
troubleshoot or fix technology issues or incorporate new technology requirements passed down from State
and Federal systems. Many of these changes do not occur in conjunction with the budget cycle. As a
result, funds are not readily available, especially considering the current state of our national economy.
These funds will help hedge these types of requirements in the future through the life of this grant.

TIMETABLE: The Police Department is currently waiting for the final specifications for the computer
servers from the vendor and will place the order immediately when they are received
to meet the end of fiscal year deadline for these funds.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend Council approve purchases at the June 28, 2010 session.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
This project was already approved in the FY10 CIP budget. The project consists of the replacement of
several servers that host the services platform for providing key law enforcement systems in dispatch, patrol,
records and evidence. The systems are also accessed by all sworn personnel in processing complaints and
calls for service. The vendors for this project will be New World for the main server software and Dell (state
contract vendor) for the hardware.
This action form is provided as information on the expenditures required since the dollar amount for the total
project exceeds $25,000.

of General Fund dollars from prior years; Page 77 in the CIP and Page 256 of the 2011 Draft Operating Budget.
TIMETABLE: This is a unit price contract starting with the date of award to be completed within 120
calendar days.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Bid # 10-0041DPS. Award a unit price contract for the FY-2011 Street
Program to Daisy Construction Co. based on the unit prices for each work item as shown in Attachment A. The
scope of work for the program will be altered to reflect the funding that has been secured to complete each
location. The Public Services Manager may add or delete from the contract based on available funding
throughout the contract period and inform the City Manager of such additions or deletions. All work will be
paid for at the unit prices bid for work completed and accepted by the City of Dover. The total work authorized
under this contract will not exceed the available funding.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
In conjunction with the City of Dover’s Capital Investments Plan, it is proposed to rehabilitate various
pavement sections throughout the City of Dover during Fiscal Year 2011. The following locations were
included in the proposed scope of work to be completed under the FY-2011 Street Program:
Washington Street Susan Place Delaware Avenue Alley
S. Turnberry Lane Mitscher Road Hiawatha Lane
Reed Street (State Street to Kings Highway)
Bids were opened on Monday, June 7, 2010. Three (3) contractors submitted unit price bids for the proposed
work to be performed. Based on the proposed quantities, the estimated contract values are as follows:
Daisy Construction Co. New Castle, Delaware $638,232.95
George & Lynch, Inc. Dover, Delaware $721,001.31
David A. Bramble, Inc. Chestertown, MD $732,447.20
The FY-2011 Street Program contract documents allow staff to alter quantities up to 35% without changes to
unit prices; therefore, the contract final value may be adjusted to reflect all available funding. Daisy
Construction Co. was the city’s contractor for the last Street Program and their quality of work was more than
satisfactory. In addition, their billing and certified payroll was submitted in a timely manner and coordinated
with the Public Works Inspector.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
In conjunction with the City of Dover’s Capital Investments Plan, it is proposed to use a contractor to
remove and replace approximately 6,148 square feet of miscellaneous concrete work at various
tentative locations throughout the City of Dover during Fiscal Year 2011. Staff has visited each of
the tentative work locations and has prepared a work plan and bid specification package for these
repairs. Bids were opened on June 9, 2010, Bid Number: 10-0042DPS. Ten (10) contractors

PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2010-18
1 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN
2 COUNCIL MET:
3
4 That Appendix B – Zoning, Article 9 – Board of Adjustment, be amended by inserting the text
5 indicated in blue, bold, italics and delete the text indicated in red, bold, strike-through, as follows:
6
7 ARTICLE 9. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
8
9 Section 1. Creation, appointment and organization.
10
11 There shall be a board of adjustment pursuant to the provisions of chapter 3 of title 22,
12 Municipalities, of the Delaware Code Annotated (22 Del. C. § 301 et seq.).
13
14 Section 2. Powers and duties.
15
16 The board of adjustment shall have all the powers and duties prescribed by law and by
17 this ordinance, which are more particularly specified as follows, provided that none of the
18 following provisions shall be deemed to limit any power of the said board that is conferred by
19 law:
20
21 2.1 Interpretation. On appeal from an order, requirement, decision or determination
22 made by an administrative official, or a request by any official, board or agency of the
23 city, to decide any of the following questions:
24
25 2.11 Determination of the meaning of any portion of the text of this ordinance
26 or of any condition or requirement specified or made under the provisions of
27 this ordinance.
28
29 2.12 Determination of the exact location of any district boundary shown on the
30 zoning map.
31
32 2.2 Variances. To authorize, upon appeal in specific cases, such variance from the
33 terms of this ordinance, other than variance of any use regulations, except a variance
34 permitting addition to or extension of an existing nonconforming use of a more
35 restrictive nature than the conforming use in the area as will not be contrary to the
36 public interest where, owing to exceptional and extraordinary circumstances, there are
37 practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships in the way of carrying out of the strict
38 letter of this ordinance, subject to terms and conditions to be fixed by the board;
39 provided, however, that no such variance shall be granted unless the board finds:
40
41 (a) That there are physical conditions, fully described in the findings of
42 the board, applying to the land or building for which the variance is
43 sought, which conditions are peculiar to such land or building, and have
44 not resulted from any act of the applicant or any predecessor in title;
45 and
46
Page 453
PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2010-18 PAGE 2
47 (b) That, for reasons fully set forth in the findings of the board, the
48 aforesaid circumstances or conditions are such that the strict application
49 of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of all
50 reasonable use of such land or building and the granting of the variance
51 is necessary for the reasonable use of the land or building, and that the
52 variance as granted by the board is the minimum variance that will
53 accomplish this purpose; and
54
55 (c) That the granting of the variance under such conditions as the
56 board may deem necessary or desirable to apply thereto will be in
57 harmony with the general purpose and intent of this ordinance, will not
58 represent a radical departure therefrom, will not be injurious to the
59 neighborhood, will not change the character thereof and will not be
60 otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
61
62 2.21 The needs or desires of a particular owner or tenant or of a particular prospective
63 owner or tenant shall not, either alone or in conjunction with other factors, afford any
64 basis for the granting of a variance. The fact that the improvements already existing
65 at the time of the application are old, obsolete, outmoded or in disrepair, or the fact
66 that the property is then unimproved, shall not be deemed to make the plight of the
67 property unique or to contribute thereto.
68
69 2.22 Where the board finds the zoning classification of a particular property to be
70 conducive to the deprivation of all reasonable use of the land or building by the owner
71 thereof, and where the board deems the same condition to apply generally to other land
72 or buildings in the same neighborhood or zone, the said board may call this condition
73 to the attention of the planning commission for recommending amendment to the
74 zoning ordinance.
75
76 2.23 In all cases where the board of adjustment grants a variance from the strict
77 application of the requirements of this ordinance, it shall be the duty of such board to
78 attach conditions and safeguards as may be required in order that the result of its
79 action may be as nearly as possible in accordance with the intent and purposes of this
80 ordinance.
81
82 2.24 Whenever the board of adjustment denies an application for variance, such
83 application for variance, or an application on the same property which is substantially
84 similar, shall not be accepted for reconsideration by the board of adjustment sooner
85 than one year from the date of denial.
86
87 The board of adjustment shall have the powers and duties as specified in Delaware Code
88 Annotated (22 Del. C. § 301 et seq.) and as articulated below:
89
90 2.1 Variance – The board shall have the authority to authorize variances from provisions
91 of the zoning ordinance that are not contrary to public interest where the board
92 determines that a literal interpretation of the zoning ordinance would result in undue
93 hardship or exceptional practical difficulties to the applicant. In granting variances, the
94 board shall determine that the spirit of the zoning ordinance is observed and substantial
95 justice done.
Page 454
PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2010-18 PAGE 3
96 2.11 Area Variance. A variance shall be considered an area variance if it relates to bulk
97 standards, signage regulations, and other provisions of the zoning ordinance that address
98 lot layout, buffers, and dimensions. In considering a request for an area variance, the
99 board shall evaluate the following criteria and document them in their findings of fact:
100
101 (a) the nature of the zone in which the property lies;
102
103 (b) the character of the immediate vicinity and the contained uses therein;
104
105 (c) whether, if the restriction upon the applicant’s property were removed, such
106 removal would seriously affect neighboring properties and uses; and
107
108 (d) whether, if the restriction is not removed, the restriction would create
109 unnecessary hardship or exceptional practical difficulty for the owner in his
110 efforts to make normal improvements in the character of that use of the property
111 that is a permitted use under the provisions of the zoning ordinance.

113 2.12 Use Variance. A variance shall be considered a use variance if it would permit a use
114 of the subject property that would otherwise not be permitted on the subject property. In
115 considering a request for a use variance, the board shall determine that the following
116 criteria exist and document them in their findings of fact:
117
118 (a) That there are physical conditions applying to the land or building for which
119 the variance is sought, which conditions are peculiar to such land or building, and
120 have not resulted from any act of the applicant or any predecessor in title; and
121
122 (b) That the aforesaid circumstances or conditions are such that the strict
123 application of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of all
124 reasonable use of such land or building and the granting of the variance is
125 necessary for the reasonable use of the land or building, and that the variance as
126 granted by the board is the minimum variance that will accomplish this purpose;
127 and
128
129 (c) That the granting of the variance under such conditions as the board may
130 deem necessary or desirable to apply thereto will be in harmony with the general
131 purpose and intent of this ordinance, will not represent a radical departure
132 therefrom, will not be injurious to the neighborhood, will not change the character
133 thereof and will not be otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
134
135 2.2 Appeal of administrative order, requirement, decision, or determination – The board shall
136 have the authority to hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is any order, requirement,
137 decision or determination made by an administrative official in the enforcement of the zoning
138 ordinance. Appeals to the board may be made by any person aggrieved or by any officer,
139 department, board or bureau of the municipality affected by any decision of an administrative
140 officer.

143 Section 3. Procedure.
144
145 The powers and duties of the board of adjustment shall be exercised in accordance with the
146 following procedure:
147
148 3.1 The board of adjustment shall not decide upon any appeal for interpretation or
149 variance without first holding a public hearing, notice of which hearing and of the substance
150 of the appeal or application shall be given by publication in the official newspaper of the city
151 at least ten days before the date of such hearing. In addition to such published notice, the
152 board of adjustment shall cause notice to be given of the substance of every appeal for a
153 variance, together with notice of the hearing thereon, by causing notices thereof to be mailed
154 by postal card or other means at least ten days before the date of said hearing to the owners
155 of all property abutting that held by the applicant in the immediate area (whether or not
156 involved in such appeal) and all other owners within 200 feet, or such additional distance as
157 the board of adjustment may deem advisable, from the exterior boundaries of the land
158 involved in such appeal, as the names of said owners appear on the last completed
159 assessment roll of the city. Any or all of the notices required by this [sub]section shall be
160 issued by the office of the city clerk city planner on order of the board of adjustment or
161 upon order of the chairperson of said board if the appeal is received when the board is not
162 in session and the chairperson deems it necessary or desirable to expedite the public hearing
163 on such appeal. Provided that due notice shall have been published as above provided and
164 that there shall have been substantial compliance with the remaining provisions of the
165 paragraph [subsection], the failure to give notice in exact conformance herewith shall not
166 be deemed to invalidate action taken by the board of adjustment in connection with the
167 granting of any appeal or variance.
168
169 3.2 If the land involved in an appeal or application lies within 500 feet of the boundary of
170 any other incorporated municipality, the city clerk city planner shall also transmit to the

176 appeal or application, together with a copy of the notice of such hearing. The planning
177 commission may submit to the board of adjustment an advisory opinion on said appeal
178 or application at any time prior to the rendering of a decision.3.4
179
180 3.4 3.3 Unless work is commenced and diligently prosecuted within one year of the date of
181 the granting of a variance, such variance shall become null and void.
182
183 3.5 3.4All appeals and variance applications and appeals made to the board of adjustment
184 shall be in writing, on forms prescribed by the board and approved by the planning
185 commission. All variance requests and appeals from an order, requirement, decision or
186 determination made by an administrative official, board or agency of the city for
187 residential uses shall be accompanied by a fee as provided for in Appendix F--Fees and
188 Fines. All variance requests for nonresidential uses shall be accompanied by a fee as
189 provided for in Appendix F--Fees and Fines. All appeals from an order, requirement,
190 decision or determination made by an administrative official, board or agency of the
191 city shall be accompanied by a fee as provided for in Appendix F--Fees and Fines. The

PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2010-18 PAGE 5
192 board of adjustment may, in its discretion, return to the applicant part or all of the fee paid
193 by him in the event that his appeal under section 2.2 Appeal of administrative order,
194 requirement, decision, or determination 2.1 (interpretation) hereof is partially or wholly
195 successful. The fees filed in connection with applications under section 2.1 Variance 2.2
196 (variances) shall not be returnable, regardless of disposition of the case by the board.
197
198 3.6 3.5 Each appeal or variance application or appeal shall fully set forth the circumstances
199 of the case. Every appeal or variance application or appeal shall refer to the specific
200 provision of the ordinance involved, and shall exactly set forth, as the case may be, the
201 interpretation that is claimed, the details of the variance that is applied for and the grounds
202 on which it is claimed that the same should be granted.
203
204 3.7 3.6 Every decision of the board of adjustment shall be recorded in accordance with
205 standard forms adopted by the board, and shall fully set forth the circumstances of the case

212
213 3.8 3.7 All the provisions of this ordinance relating to the board of adjustment shall be
214 strictly construed. The board, as a body of limited jurisdiction, shall act in full conformity
215 with all provisions of law and of this ordinance and in strict compliance with all limitations
216 contained therein; provided, however, that if the procedural requirements set forth in this
217 ordinance have been substantially observed, no applicant or appellant shall be deprived of
218 the right of application or appeal.
219

221 for variance, or an application on the same property which is substantially similar, shall
222 not be accepted for reconsideration by the board of adjustment sooner than one year from
223 the date of denial.

PETITION TO AMEND ZONING MAP
First Reading before the Dover City Council
June 28, 2010
Proposed Zoning Change: Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map to rezone certain
parcels throughout the City to ROS (Recreational and Open Space Zone)
in conformance with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan.
Summary of Amendment: Staff has initiated the rezoning of 150 parcels of land City-wide to the
newly created ROS (Recreational and Open Space) Zone in accordance
with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The properties proposed for
rezoning consist of City parks, State-owned open space, restricted open
space owned by homeowners associations (including active recreation
areas, passive open space, and stormwater management areas), and
Maple Dale Country Club.
City Council adopted the Ordinance #2010-12, creating the ROS zone on
June 14, 2010. The Planning Office sent letters to all affected property
owners on June 7, 2010, informing them of the proposal and offering
them the opportunity to meet with Planning Staff to answer questions
and concerns they may have. The Planning Staff have met with a
number of property owners and have answered any questions and
concerns.
In determining which parcels to bring forward as a part of the rezoning
proposal, staff performed a detailed review of the areas shown as Open
Space on the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1 as amended dated
November 23, 2009) of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan to ensure that
properties brought forward for rezoning are actual open space. Several
parcels were not included, as staff determined that there was a mapping
error. Staff will bring these forward for a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment in accordance with timeframes set forth in the 2008
Comprehensive Plan. Other properties shown as Open Space are not
proposed for rezoning at this time as the subdivision is pending start of
construction, the subdivision is currently under development, or the area
is protected as open space by other provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
