RESCHEDULING OF PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING - REZONING A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider rezoning of property located at 217 and 223 McKee Road, consisting of 1.12+/- acres, owned by Mor-Kath-Ric, LLC. The property is currently zoned R-7 (One-family Residence) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and the proposed zoning is RM-1 (Medium Density Residence) and subject to COZ-1. (Ordinance #2010-16; Tax Parcels: ED05-067.15-02-02.00-000 and ED05-067.15-02-01.00-000; Planning Reference: Z-10-06; Council District: Fourth) Council President Hogan advised members that this item was tabled by the Planning Commission during their meeting of June 21, 2010. As a result, staff recommended that a Public Hearing/Final Reading before City Council be rescheduled for September 13, 2010. (The First Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2010-16 was accomplished during the Council Meeting of May 24, 2010.) Mr. McGiffin moved to reschedule the public hearing/final reading for September 13, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. for the rezoning of property located at 217 and 223 McKee Road, consisting of 1.12+/- acres, owned by Mor-Kath-Ric, LLC. The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried. PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING - REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON SAULSBURY ROAD, SOUTH OF FORREST AVENUE, OWNED BY ROUTE 8 & SAULSBURY ROAD, LLC A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider rezoning of property located on Saulsbury Road, south of Forrest Avenue, LLC, consisting of 1.01+/- acres, owned by Route 8 & Saulsbury Road. The property is currently zoned CPO (Commercial/Professional Office) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and the proposed zoning is C-2A (Limited Central Commercial) and subject to COZ-1. Mrs. Williams moved that the final reading of the Proposed Rezoning Ordinance be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of Ordinance #2010-15 was accomplished during the Council Meeting of May 24, 2010.)

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 3 Planner's Review Mrs. Ann Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the petition to amend the zoning district and the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission (Exhibit #3). The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request to change the zoning of the subject property from CPO (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) with COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial) with COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). Public Hearing Council President Hogan declared the hearing open. Mr. Phil McGinnis, 555 E. Loockerman Street, advised members that he is a part of the ownership group. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. McGinnis indicated that the entire parcel is approximately 2.3 acres and that there were several property lines eliminated to create one (1) large parcel which was split by the zoning line. Part of the property was originally Baker=s Exxon Station zoned as C2-A, and the zoning line was moved further south to accommodate the CVS Pharmacy development, leaving the remaining property zoned as CPO. He advised members that when the Comprehensive Plan was updated, the property was to be recommended for Neighborhood Commercial; however, this parcel was not rezoned as such when the final Comprehensive Plan was approved. With regards to concerns of Mr. Salters, Mr. McGinnis stated that a drainage ditch is located along the property line and that a part of the drainage will be included in the site plan. In response to Mrs. Russell, Mr. McGinnis assured members that traffic will be traveling only north or south from the property, not east or west. For clarification, Mrs. Townshend indicated that the parcel proposed for rezoning is separate from the CVS parcel and that there was an actual lot line adjustment to accommodate the CVS. Responding, Mr. McGinnis stated his understanding that both properties were being treated as one (1) property. Although he was not sure of the specific use for the property at this time, Mr. McGinnis relayed confidence that its use will be retail, such as a pizza shop or dry cleaner. There being no one else wishing to speak, Council President Hogan declared the hearing closed. Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and, by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted Ordinance 2010-15, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON SAULSBURY ROAD SOUTH OF FORREST AVENUE

Page 4

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 4 WHEREAS, the City of Dover has enacted a zoning ordinance regulating the use of property within the limits of the City of Dover; and WHEREAS, it is deemed in the best interest of zoning and planning to change the permitted use of property described below from C-PO (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: 1. That from and after the passage and approval of this ordinance the Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance of the City of Dover have been amended by changing the zoning designation from C-PO (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) on that property located on the east side of Saulsbury Road south of the intersection of Forrest Avenue/Forest Street, consisting of 1.01+/- acres, owned by Route 8 and Saulsbury Road, L.L.C. (Tax Parcel: ED-05-076.11-01-24.00-000; Planning Reference: Z-10-05). ADOPTED: JULY 12, 2010 PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING - REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 40- 60 RIDGELY STREET, OWNED BY ROBERT A. AND NANCY H. KAUFFMAN A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider rezoning of property located at 40-60 Ridgely Street, consisting of 2.0047+/- acres, owned by Robert A. and Nancy H. Kauffman. The property is currently zoned M (Manufacturing) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and the proposed zoning is C-3 (Service Commercial) and subject to COZ-1. Mrs. Williams moved that the final reading of the Proposed Rezoning Ordinance be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. McGlumphy and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of Ordinance #2010-17 was accomplished during the Council Meeting of May 24, 2010.) Planner's Review Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the petition to amend the zoning district and the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission (Exhibit #4). The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the request to change the zoning of the subject property from M (Manufacturing) with COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to C-3 (Service Commercial) with COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). In accordance with the petition, Mr. Ruane noted that there are active code enforcement violations on the site and questioned if the "clean hands" legislation should have affected the

Page 5

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 5 application. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that when there are situations where an application would help to correct code violations, staff typically does not reject such applications. It was staff=s opinion that the rezoning application would help to further redevelop the site and correct the existing code violations, which are essentially related to the former use of the site. She noted that, according to the application, there is no change in ownership. Although the "clean hands" ordinance was not considered regarding this application specifically, City Solicitor Rodriguez concurred with staff, explaining that there have been other applications of this nature, and he did not feel that the "clean hands" ordinance should affect the current rezoning application. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend stated that, although the rezoning would not correct the code violations, a new business license would not be issued, nor would another use be permitted to be established, until such time as these violations are corrected. She explained that the C-3 zoning classification will facilitate occupation of the property since all uses in the Manufacturing zoning classification are considered conditional use and require approval of the Planning Commission. With the C-3 zoning classification, an applicant could establish an operation through the administrative site plan process, which is less cumbersome. She assured members that any administrative site plan would require all code violations to be corrected before the property could be occupied and a new business license issued for the site. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend concurred that properties zoned as Manufacturing are diminishing within the City and that one of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to promote manufacturing and economic development. However, she stated that the C-3 zoning classification functions as a light industrial zone and actually expands the uses that would be permitted in this area. In addition, she indicated that the C-3 zoning classification would expedite occupation since the Manufacturing zone is subject to conditional use approval, which is a fairly cumbersome process. With the C-3 zoning classification, unless there are changes to the site, the approval could be done administratively. The property could then be reoccupied with a light industrial use, which she felt was appropriate with the area and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Responding to Mr. Salters, Mrs. Townshend advised members that the owners have indicated that one of the challenges in obtaining interested tenants for the property was specifically due to any use having to be presented to the Planning Commission for approval. It was felt that the request for the C-3 zoning classification would make it easier to occupy the property without any substantial change in its use. Public Hearing Council President Hogan declared the hearing open. Mr. Phil McGinnis, 555 E. Loockerman Street, speaking on behalf of the owners, advised members that the property was purchased for storage/warehousing for Kauffman=s Furniture.

Page 6

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 6 When the furniture store was sold, the Kauffmans leased the building to a pallet business, who created code violations by storing pallets outside. He explained that this enterprise has since gone out of business. Mr. McGinnis advised members that there are two (2) buildings: a 15,000 foot building that would be appropriate for warehousing, but not manufacturing, and a 3,000 foot building in worse condition. Although the property is deteriorating, he stated that there is a tenant interested in the smaller building. When he contacted staff to inquire about the process involved for a new tenant, he was advised that the matter would require Planning Commission approval, noting that the Manufacturing zoning classification requires approval for every use. With regards to the code violations, Mr. McGinnis indicated that most of the violations were resolved after the pallet business left. He stated that the owners began making repairs to the fence, windows, etc., and he suggested that no further repairs be made until the results of the rezoning were obtained, explaining that further investment might not be economically prudent. He stated that the 15,000 foot building is scheduled to be presented to potential clients for use and assured members that the code violations would be resolved. There being no one else wishing to speak, Council President Hogan declared the hearing closed. Mr. Leary moved for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and, by a roll call vote of eight (8) yes and one (1) no (Mr. Ruane), Council adopted Ordinance #2010-17, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 40-60 RIDGELY STREET WHEREAS, the City of Dover has enacted a zoning ordinance regulating the use of property within the limits of the City of Dover; and WHEREAS, it is deemed in the best interest of zoning and planning to change the permitted use of property described below from M (Manufacturing Zone) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: 1. That from and after the passage and approval of this ordinance the Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance of the City of Dover have been amended by changing the zoning designation from M (Manufacturing Zone) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) on that property located at 40- 60 Ridgely Street (on the west side of Ridgely Street at the intersection with Fulton Street), consisting of 2.0047+/- acres, owned by Robert A. and Nancy H. Kauffman.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 7 (Tax Parcel: ED-05-076.08-01-26.01-000; Planning Reference Z-10-07) ADOPTED: JULY 12, 2010 MAYOR CARLETON E. CAREY, SR. VETO - MOTION ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL ON JUNE 28, 2010 - ADOPTION OF FISCAL YEAR 2010/2011 GENERAL FUND - CASH RECEIPTS AND BUDGET ORDINANCE; ADOPTION OF FISCAL YEAR 2010/2011 WATER/WASTEWATER FUND - REVENUE AND BUDGET ORDINANCE; ADOPTION OF FISCAL YEAR 2010/2011 ELECTRIC REVENUE FUND - REVENUE AND BUDGET ORDINANCE Pursuant to Section 10 of the City of Dover Charter, the City Clerk advised members that Mayor Carleton E. Carey, Sr., has vetoed the motions adopted by City Council on June 28, 2010, as follows: adoption of Fiscal Year 2010/2011 General Fund - Cash Receipts and Budget Ordinance; adoption of Fiscal Year 2010/2011 Water/Wastewater Fund - Revenue and Budget Ordinance; adoption of Fiscal Year 2010/2011 Electric Revenue Fund - Revenue and Budget Ordinance. Council President Hogan noted that, in addition to the veto, Mayor Carey submitted a letter requesting the removal of additional items for the Mayor=s Office and other departmental budgets, which was provided to members. He also noted the receipt of correspondence from various residents regarding this issue and requested that they be considered a part of the record (Exhibit #5). Mrs. Williams moved that no expenditures be made in the 2011 budget that are not covered by revenues found in the 2010 budget or brought in in the 2011 Fiscal Year, whichever is lower. She explained that the intent of the motion was to request that Council live within its means and not incur any more debt or raise revenues through tax increases, fees, or rate hikes. The motion was seconded by Mr. McGlumphy. Mr. McGiffin felt that the Mayor=s suggestions addressed most of the comments that were made by residents and that the Mayor=s proposal was an appropriate response. As a result, he indicated that he would not support the motion but would support a proposal that would make the adjustments recommended by Mayor Carey. Mrs. Williams referred to the salary changes for the State of Delaware and municipalities that she provided members via email (Exhibit #6). She noted that there was a negative 5% change for New Castle County, no salary increases for Wilmington and Kent County, and that the State of Delaware reinstated the 2.5% taken away last year, which results in a net of zero. She stated that, with the City=s current budget, there would be 7.5% raises provided to employees (3% last year, 3.5% this year, and 1% through performance evaluations). She felt it was evident that other municipalities were holding to their current revenues and had not considered any pay increases.

Page 8

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 8 Disagreeing with Mr. McGiffin, Mr. McGlumphy stated that the Mayor=s proposal did not come close to resolving the issues and concerns relayed by residents. He also questioned the amount of the total budget. Mr. Ruane questioned if the motion would, in effect, return the City to last year=s budget, which would eliminate the proposed electric rate decrease; prevent the purchase of police cars, a trash truck, a street dump truck, and additional apparatus for the Fire Department; eliminate major capital projects; and prevent the City from addressing Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) and brown water problems and meeting the state mandate of recycling, etc. He stated that he could not support the continuation of last year=s budget without addressing these and other essential items. Mrs. Williams explained that, should the City Manager and budget team wish to include items in the budget, the motion would only prohibit spending more than what is brought in and, if the funds are available, purchases could be made and projects accomplished. She stated that the motion simply indicates that the City will not incur more debt, will not raise taxes, will not raise appraisal values of houses, and will not impose extra fees during these economic times. She assured members that the "creativity" remains for the budget team. Relaying concern, Mr. Ruane reminded members that the City recently spent $800,000 for the appraisal of property and that, if the appraisal values are not adjusted, there would be continued inequities in the current appraisal system. It was his feeling that this action would be inequitable and unfair to property owners. Mr. McGlumphy noted that, over the past several years, the City has continuously deferred projects and suggested that members recognize what can and cannot be done. Referring to the motion, Mr. DePrima requested clarification from the City Solicitor. He felt that the motion could have been a guideline provided to staff to be used in the development of the budget. He stated that the motion was vague, broad, and did not amend the actual numbers that constitute the budget. Mr. Bonar called for a point of order, explaining his feeling that it was not the City Manager=s responsibility to interpret a motion made by Council. At the request of Council President Hogan, City Solicitor Rodriguez indicated that the motion should be "worked through" and deferred to the Controller/Treasurer to determine if it is workable. Mr. Ruane reminded members that the City Charter requires a balanced budget and that the City Manager would not be given authority to spend beyond monies collected. It was his opinion that the intent of the motion was to take away rate and property tax increases and had nothing to do with staying within a budget. If members eliminate the water rate change, Mr. Ruane stated that the City=s bond indebtedness and credit rating would be jeopardized. He stated that these issues

Page 9

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 9 were previously discussed at length and suggested that members move forward with a decision. Mr. Salters advised members of the difficulty in reconciling the comments that were made by members and felt that the issue could take additional time to resolve. He relayed concern with the ability to reconcile the contracts that the City has already agreed to pay if funds are not made available. Council President Hogan reminded members that the Mayor=s veto was related to the budget ordinances only and that the Mayor did not veto the tax rate increase or other ordinances adopted at that same time. On a call for the question by Mr. Salters, the motion that no expenditures be made in the 2011 budget that are not covered by revenues found in the 2010 budget or brought in in the 2011 Fiscal Year, whichever is lower, failed by a roll call of five (5) no and four (4) yes (Mr. Bonar, Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. Leary, and Mrs. Williams). Mr. Ruane moved to amend the General Fund, Water/Wastewater Fund, and Electric Fund Budgets by making those adjustments by line item that were identified in the Mayor=s veto letter to President Hogan dated July 7, 2010. The motion was seconded by Mr. McGiffin. Mr. McGlumphy clarified that his concurrence with the motion would not indicate his approval of the passage of the budget, but would simply indicate his agreement with removal of $86,000 from the budget. Responding to Mr. Leary, Council President Hogan indicated that a separate motion would be required to vote on the budget, as amended. The motion to amend the General Fund, Water/Wastewater Fund, and Electric Fund Budgets by making those adjustments by line item that were identified in the Mayor's veto letter to President Hogan dated July 7, 2010 (Exhibit #7) was carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. McGiffin moved for approval of Ordinance #2010-19 - 2010/11 City of Dover Budget (General Fund - Cash Receipts and Budget), Water/Wastewater Fund - Revenue and Budget, and Electric Revenue Fund - Revenue and Budget), as amended (Exhibit #8). The motion was seconded by Mr. Ruane and carried by a roll call vote of five (5) yes and four (4) no (Mr. Bonar, Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. Leary, and Mrs. Williams). UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - JUNE 28, 2010 The Utility Committee met on June 28, 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

Page 10

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 10 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 During their meeting of May 24, 2010, the Committee 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. At that time, 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 Committee during this meeting. Mr. Ruane noted that there were several individuals who requested the opportunity to address members regarding this matter and, due to time constraints, requested that speakers be brief in their presentations and that one (1) speaker represent groups to avoid repetition when possible. Mr. Ruane also acknowledged receipt of correspondence submitted in regards to this issue (attachment to Committee minutes). Clerk=s Office Note: Following this meeting, staff provided members with correspondence from Mr. Paul Janiga (attachment to Committee minutes). Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reiterated that the request was 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 and that portions of rights-of-way requested for abandonment are adjacent on both sides to other properties owned by Wesley College. Mrs. Townshend explained that 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 and that the two (2) segments of North Bradford Street (Areas #3 and #6) end at the college. She 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

Page 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 11 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 which are part of the downtown grid system, Mrs. Townshend stated that staff believes that Wesley and the City should implement a phased abandonment and consider the testimony presented by the public on this matter. Mrs. Townshend noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the street and alley abandonment, as requested by Wesley College; however, 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 to the completion of the implementation of the Wesley College site plan. She stated that the intent was 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.

Page 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 12 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 Committee (DAC) report dated April 1, 2010 (previously provided to members). Based on conversations she had late this afternoon with Mr. Gregg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, and after reviewing correspondence from Capital School District, Mrs. Townshend stated that staff would also recommend that, if approved, there be a requirement that public access easements be maintained, essentially in the areas of Fulton and Cecil Streets, in order to ensure (long-term) that the area would remain open for pedestrians traversing from one side of the campus to the other. Mrs. Townshend advised members that the applicant conducted community outreach following the May 24, 2010 Committee meeting. She indicated that she, Councilmen Bonar and McGiffin, and Dr. William Johnston, President of Wesley College, attended a community meeting of the Neighborhood Link Group (North State Street Neighborhood Association). She indicated that Wesley College also held a meeting on June 16, 2010 with neighbors. She assured members that staff mailed notices to all property owners within 200= of the proposed abandonments, as instructed. Mr. Bonar advised members that, in addition to attending the community meeting, he met with Dr. Johnston and Mr. Gregg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, to learn about the project, since he was just recently elected and wanted to be well informed regarding the issue in order to be prepared to make a decision. Mr. McGiffin acknowledged that he attended a meeting held at the home of Sara and Bob Herbert, 223 North Bradford Street, during which Dr. Johnston presented the plan proposed by Wesley College and entertained comments from attendees, as well as a similar meeting held at the State Street Assisted Living Facility. Mr. Gregg Moore, representing Wesley College, advised members that there have been no changes to the plan previously presented to the Committee. He stated that the proposal would allow Wesley College to initiate the work needed to effect the Master Plan. He again briefed members on the request and the plan to create a walking campus for Wesley College (details, including maps, were provided to members). With regards to the meeting held by Wesley College on June 16th, Mr. Moore stated that approximately 40 people attended and that a very clear presentation of the plan was presented. He indicated that there were a few individuals who indicated opposition to the proposal; however, the majority of the attendees were supportive of the proposal and many concerns were resolved. He mentioned a few key points that pleased the attendees, as follows: 1) neighborhood children will be able to ride or walk in the pedestrian ways where Fulton and Cecil Streets are currently located; Wesley invites the public to walk through the area; and the Capital School District was assured that transit of students (as well as

Page 13

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 13 the public) from the east and west through the campus will be allowed; 2) Wesley will not change any roadways until a plan is presented to the City and approved by the Planning Commission that documents an increase in the number of parking spaces available to compensate for lost on-street parking, (although he noted that several on-street parking areas will remain); 3) through traffic will be eliminated, which will improve safety for students and pedestrians, including children who walk to/from Central Middle School; and 4) Wesley is committed to provide public access easements through the walkways. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Moore indicated that the applicant agreed with all comments made by the DAC and acknowledged previous testimony confirming that there would be no changes to area parking until the proposed plan is approved. In addition, he stated that Wesley College is committed to making the changes in phases to minimize the impact on neighbors, which was included in the DAC comments. He assured members that Wesley College has fully accepted the DAC comments, will abide by them, and understands the record. Mrs. Sara Herbert, 223 North Bradford Street, read the letter she and Mr. Bob Herbert submitted into the record (attachment to committee minutes). Mr. Michael Maciarello, 11 Cecil Street, advised members that, based on the record, there have been no pedestrian accidents involving a vehicle for seven (7) years and felt that the safety issue was created by Wesley College turning portions of Bradford Street into a one-way street. It was his feeling that if there were stop signs on Cecil or Fulton Streets between State Street and Governors Avenue, all of the safety (or perceived safety) issues would be corrected. Mr. Maciarello relayed his opposition to the proposed plan on five (5) points. He noted that there has been no active engagement with the community at-large, explaining that all contact has been only with those immediately adjacent to the streets proposed for abandonment. He noted that this is a large project and that introducing it in small phases presents a misconception of the scale of the project. With regards to the request for the streets to be closed to provide for a more "walkable" campus, Mr. Maciarello indicated that walkable and walkability are relative terms of distance. He stated that there are safety concerns for college students crossing Fulton and Cecil Streets, yet no type of action is being taken regarding middle school children crossing Governors Avenue and State Street. He also relayed objections to the phased implementation of this project, explaining that, as a resident of the community, he does not wish to have constant construction occurring for several years. Referring to the comparisons made with Delaware State University, University of Delaware, Yale, Old Dominion University, etc., he stated that Wesley College is much smaller and that the College is not being compared to an effective model. Lastly, he stated that during all the meetings he has attended, there have been calls for compromise from members of the community with Wesley College. He indicated that he would support a compromise; however, he stated that, according to the architects, there is no compromise available with regards to the street closures. It was his feeling that Cecil Street should remain open and he relayed his opposition to the street closure aspect of the project. Mr. John Grady, 424 North Bradford Street (has an office at 6 North Bradford Street), advised

Page 14

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 14 members that traffic in the area is horrendous in the mornings and evenings due to the location of Campus Community School and that moving the school would resolve this traffic problem. Since this section of Bradford Street has been changed to only one-way traffic, he questioned how people will be able to leave his office. It was his feeling that parking is a concern (particularly for the residents of South Bradford Street) due to most college students having vehicles, and stated a need for additional parking. In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Grady indicated his support of the request made by Wesley College. Mr. Bill Goodrich, owner of 227 and 229 North Bradford Street, indicated no objections to the request as long as the cul-de-sac can accommodate tractor-trailers entering and exiting. He read the letter he submitted by W.D. Goodrich (attachment to Committee minutes). Mr. Ruane reminded those in attendance that the Committee is not considering a Site Plan, that ingress and egress issues will be considered by the Planning Commission, and that there will be a public hearing to allow public testimony at that time. Mrs. Cheryl Jones, 230 North Bradford Street, relayed support of the proposal submitted by Wesley College. It was her feeling that the proposal would address safety issues for Wesley College students, Central Middle School students, and the surrounding community. She felt that Wesley College was beginning to create a campus that would encourage a sense of identity for its students, which will benefit the surrounding community. She stated that, during the past couple of years, Wesley College has shown real consideration for the surrounding residents and felt assured that any concerns would be considered and respectfully resolved. Mr. Kirk Johnson, 39 North American Avenue, stated concern that the proposal was presented first as a safety issue, then as a perceived safety issue, explaining that these are two (2) different issues. He noted that there are real safety issues off campus, explaining that once Central Middle School students pass through the campus, it is not private property, and he questioned who would assume liability for injury to a student. He also relayed concern with Central Middle School students utilizing the campus in the midst of much older college students as they pass through going to and from school during early morning and late afternoon hours, which may be dark during the winter months. He stated another concern regarding traffic, noting that, based on a study previously conducted by the City, the surrounding streets were at 70%-80% capacity (noting that the study was conducted when Wesley College was not in session). By adding students, he felt that these streets would be utilized above capacity. He advised members of the difficulty he currently has in finding available parking and that, on many occasions, he is made to park three (3) blocks away from his residence. Mr. Johnson stated that it is difficult to understand how Wesley College will improve the parking situation by keeping it exactly the same, except they will be moving the traffic that passes through Cecil and Fulton Streets off campus. He advised members that there is a concern with school buses having to make left turns across traffic or onto Governors Avenue, State Street, and Division Street. He stated that school buses and transport vans will be required to make those maneuvers, as opposed to the pass through that they currently make, which creates a real safety concern. Mr. Martin Anderson, 200 North State Street, relayed safety concerns with closing off Cecil Street, explaining that there could be a delay in response to his residence from paramedics and

Page 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 15 the fire company. He expressed another objection related to parking, explaining the difficulty in obtaining parking near his residence, and stated that it has been necessary to park two (2) to three (3) blocks from his house. He advised members that, due to this difficulty, he began parking in his back yard; however, subsequently, he received a notice from the City stating that this was not permitted. He felt that if Cecil Street were closed, as proposed, the alleyway between North Bradford and State Streets will be used by the college students as a "raceway". Mr. Wayne Holden, 333 Pennsylvania Avenue, referred to the concerns relayed regarding Central Middle School students utilizing Wesley College to pass through and reminded members that this is already occurring. He felt that closing off the streets would improve their safety. Referring to the increase in crime that has occurred in the area surrounding Wesley College, he felt assured that the abandonment of the streets surrounding the campus to automobiles would make it a safer campus. Mr. Holden indicated that the City should have considered these abandonments several years ago and expressed his support for the alley and street abandonments. Mrs. Nancy Gardner, 213 North State Street, thanked everyone, including Dr. Johnston, for the immediate response to her invitation to speak to the neighborhood group. She stated that unless the project is done in a very phased and careful manner, the immediate neighborhood beyond Wesley College stands to lose in a dramatic way. It was her feeling that there is a need to close Bradford Street, either in whole or in part, and that major changes are necessary to Cecil Street. She indicated that there is no parking lot proposed that would accommodate the 100 parking spaces that would be lost resulting from the proposed project. Mrs. Gardner felt that the proposed closures would result in additional traffic utilizing the nearby alleyways, which would result in the making of a street. It was her hope that consideration would be given to making the streets one-way rather than closing them. Mrs. Gardner advised members that she resides between two (2) apartment houses, one (1) of which consists of six (6) units with no requirement for parking. She urged members to separate parts of the project and keep in mind that, well beyond the immediate Wesley College neighborhood, there are many kinds of people who are very desirous of remaining "good" neighbors of Wesley College. Mr. James Overton, Chief of Police for Delaware State University, advised members that anytime there is a reduction in the mixture of pedestrians and vehicles, the results are positive. In addition, he stated that the elimination and reduction of vehicles has been proven to increase safety, since a person with criminal intent is less likely to commit a crime if their vehicle is not readily available for "getaway". Mr. Gary Patterson, representing the Downtown Dover Partnership, relayed support of the proposed request of Wesley College and their efforts to immigrate into the downtown community. Mr. Dick Cathcart, Associate Vice-President for University Operations at Delaware State University, indicated his support for the project and gave a brief overview of the actions taken at Delaware State University over the last 10-12 years. As previously mentioned, he reiterated that

Page 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 16 vehicles and students do not mix well and assured members that, although there may not have been an incident, there is a public safety issue to consider with this request. He advised members that the trend across the nation in higher education is to convert campuses that are mixed with streets to walking campuses for the purpose of addressing safety concerns. Ms. Mary-Alice Ozechoski, Dean of Students at Wesley College, advised members there were 1,000 students on both the north and south sides of the campus this past fall, which was the largest freshman class for Wesley College. This equated to 500 students walking to and from the center of the campus; therefore, from her perspective, safety is an issue and will continue to be an issue. She expressed the College=s interest in retaining and keeping students on campus once they are enrolled. It was her feeling that a vibrant, green, recreational space where students can walk, feel safe, and see other students that they know creates the kind of community that Wesley College endeavors to provide as a small college. She stated that she supports the request both from a safety standpoint and also from a recruitment and retention standpoint. It was her belief that the healthier Wesley College is, the more help it can be to the Dover community. Mr. Tanner Polce, Student Government President at Wesley College, concurred with the comments made by Ms. Ozechoski and stated that Wesley College is on the breaking edge of a rebirth. He encouraged members to consider the safety issues involved, explaining that he represents 1,500 students, 1,000 of whom live on campus. He advised members that none of the students relayed opposition to the plan proposed by Wesley College and reminded members that these 1,500 students are the City=s citizens for 8-9 months of the year. Mr. Charles Salkin, 15 Maple Lane, stated that he has observed the Wesley College Campus becoming busier and more dynamic over the years. Unfortunately, he stated that, as the student population has grown, it has become dominated by cars. Mr. Salkin stated that the campus has become more of a parking lot and passage way for vehicles than for pedestrians and that the proposal would provide huge improvements, such as aesthetics, safety, efficiencies, cost savings to taxpayers (since the maintenance of the streets will be eliminated), public health benefits (with more people walking and being outside), compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, environmental benefits, etc. He felt that the proposed plan is essential to the long-term growth and success of Wesley College and that the College is essential to the long-term growth and success of the community. He indicated assurance that the property value of those properties in the surrounding area will increase, which will provide a financial benefit to both the property owners and the City of Dover. He commended Dr. Johnston and others of Wesley College and the community for submitting the proposal. Mr. Salkin stated his support and encouraged members to approve the request. Senator Brian Bushweller, 17th District, advised members that he represents the entire area affected by the project and relayed support for the proposal. It was his feeling that this project would be very good for the college and, as a result, would be beneficial for the City and Kent County. He reminded members that there are 400 employees who work at the Wesley College campus, $40M per year is provided to the local economy by Wesley College, and there are 50-60

Page 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 17 artistic and cultural opportunities provided by the College. He stated that Wesley College is a very prominent institution of higher learning, a cultural center for the area, and an economic engine for the City. He noted that the proposal will help Wesley College and Dover to prosper into the future. Senator Bushweller referred to the previous concerns expressed by neighboring property owners and was impressed with the responses provided by the representatives of Wesley College in addressing these concerns and assuring that the parking and other inconveniences are minimized to the extent possible. He felt that the proposal would be good for Wesley College, as well as the City, and urged members to approve the request. Mr. Paul Olsen, 301 North State Street, indicated his support of the project and stated that, as an employee of Wesley College, he has walked the alley between State Street and Bradford Street for the past 29 years and has never seen cars racing up and down this alley. He advised members that his house is located one block from Wesley College and that he has rarely had parking issues, noting that parking is plentiful along North State Street. He suggested that members consider what is best for Dover and its future. Mrs. Yvonne Hall, 228 North State Street, stated concurrence with previous comments in support of the proposed request. Although there have been concerns with parking issues, it was her feeling that most could be resolved by providing handicapped parking or requiring the installation of parking pads on the properties that have alleyway access. She noted that there are apartments that have been "grandfathered" and suggested that the City require the owners to provide adequate off-street parking. It was her feeling that resolving the parking issue should not totally be the responsibility of Wesley College. Mr. Mike Drass, Football Coach and Athletic Director at Wesley College, relayed support of the project proposed by Wesley College. Not only would the proposed enhancements provide more "green" space, but it would also provide a true college campus "feel" for the campus and the community. He stated that this would help the overall recruitment of student athletes by providing an atmosphere that students and parents are seeking when visiting college campuses. Mr. Chad Robinson, student/adjunct faculty member of Wesley College, indicated support for the project proposed by Wesley College. Echoing comments made by Chief Overton of Delaware State University, he stated that the safety issue is not students= ability to cross streets, but rather the vehicle safety concerns and the ability of safety and security personnel to recognize who should or should not be on campus. It was his feeling that when vehicles are further away from potential criminals, it would be more difficult to commit certain crimes. He felt that the proposed project would give the college a "friendly" feel. He noted that the college is a driving force in the City, bringing economic development, and stated that approving the alley and street abandonments would be the first step in beginning the process of making the college a more vibrant part of the City. Fire Chief Sean Christiansen, Dover Fire Department - 103 South Governors Avenue, stated that the Fire Department is neither in favor nor opposed to the request. The Fire Department would

Page 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 18 like for the closures to create uniform access on streets and alleys and not include cul-de-sacs, which would hamper responding units. Chief Christiansen noted that the Fire Department would like fire lanes to be maintained, similar to those at Delaware State University or the University of Delaware, and with appropriate access to fire department connections on all buildings and hydrants throughout the campus. Mr. Gerri Street, 39 Hazel Road, indicated his support for the request of Wesley College and concurrence with the previous positive comments made. He stated that as a member of the Downtown Dover Partnership (previously the Downtown Dover Development Corporation) for over 20 years, during the past 12 years, he has observed an outstanding addition as Wesley College "comes to the table" to be constructive and to be a part of the City, not just its own campus. In working with Dr. Johnston on many issues, he has been impressed with his genuine desire to find a "win-win" solution and to solve problems, and he stated that Dr. Johnston is reflective and reasonable. He felt confident that whatever issues there may be, Dr. Johnston has a sincere desire to resolve them reasonably and amicably. Dr. William Johnston, President of Wesley College, expressed his passion for the project, since it is the foundation for the future of the institution. He stated that the College has engaged a consultant who has worked with hundreds of colleges and has developed a master plan that he felt is viable and will help Wesley College grow. He advised members that Wesley College was established 137 years ago and assured members that they want to be a very good neighbor and, at the same time, he explained the importance of continuing to develop the campus, infrastructure, and future for the institution. He urged members to approve the request for alley and street abandonments so that Wesley College can begin the process for the campus master plan and improve the future of the College, which he felt would be beneficial for the entire area. Dr. Johnston advised members that there were many in attendance who support the project that did not speak and requested that those in favor of the request stand (several attendees stood). Mrs. Susan Yost, 11 Cecil Street, expressed her opposition to the request and concern that only those within 200= were invited to attend the meeting; however, she stated it appears that Wesley College had invited individuals from other areas. Noting that State Street and Governors Avenue are main streets in Dover, she stated that the closing of Fulton and Cecil Streets will eliminate two (2) important cross streets and will require traffic to travel quite a distance to get across town. She stated that the closures will affect Central Middle School students. She has observed speeders utilizing the Cecil Street alley and stated that the closures will create more traffic utilizing the alleyway, which is a one (1) lane roadway that allows for two (2) way traffic and is not designed to be utilized as a street. Mrs. Yost felt that the project proposed by Wesley College would be a huge change for the City. She suggested that Delaware State University not be compared to the request of Wesley College since they are located within the City of Dover and the request involves the closure of public streets. Mr. McGiffin requested responses to the concerns of Mr. Grady (regarding egress from his office) and Fire Chief Christiansen (regarding access for emergency response). Responding, Mr.

Page 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 19 Moore stated that the proposed plan would change that portion of Bradford Street to become two (2) way traffic, allowing Mr. Grady access to and from his property. He advised members that Dr. Johnston has met with three (3) of the neighbors on State Street and offered access from their properties onto Wesley College parking lots to allow access to State Street from the rear. He felt confident that Dr. Johnston would allow Mr. Grady to utilize Wesley College parking lots in order to access other streets. With regards to Chief Christiansen, Mr. Moore stated that fire lane access is provided for projects such as this, explaining that walkways are wide enough to meet fire lane requirements. He noted that access to the fire hydrants and building connections are provided. He assured members that every concern of the Fire Department would be addressed in the design for Wesley College. The committee recommended approval of the request for alley and street abandonments, on the condition that the Wesley College Plan include the replacement of existing parking and an increase in total parking, that the utility easements remain in effect, that public access easements for Fulton and Cecil Streets be part of the plan, that the timing of the street and alley closures be coordinated with site plan approval, and that the DAC comments generated by this process are included as part of the plan, as follows: 1) Timing of the abandonment - Staff recommends that abandonment be timed such that the City maintain ownership and maintenance of the subject streets and alleys until such time that they are physically altered by construction in accordance with a site plan approved by the Planning Commission. 2) Utility Easements - 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 DAC report dated April 1, 2010. 3) Parking – All on-street parking displaced by the abandonment must be replaced in kind (in addition to any additional off-street parking required in accordance with site plan application submissions) prior to removal of on- street parking in the areas proposed for abandonment. 4) DAC Comments - Planning Office Advisory Comments 1-4 from Page 6 of the Report (prepared for May 24th meeting) and the attached agency comments from Department of Public Utilities, the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), the Kent Conservation District, and the Fire Marshal=s Office. (Planning Commission usually phrases their motions so that they adopt by reference the recommendations and findings of the DAC report.) 5) All specific conditions developed by the Utility Committee as a request of public testimony and/or their deliberations must be added. The Committee recommended approval of the request for alley and street abandonments, on the condition that the Wesley College Plan include the replacement of existing parking and an increase in total parking, that the utility easements remain in effect, that public access easements for Fulton and Cecil Streets be part of the plan, that the timing of the street and alley closures be

Page 20

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 20 coordinated with the site plan approval, and that the aforementioned DAC comments generated by this process and those included in the DAC Application Review Commentary (Exhibit #9) are included as part of the plan, and that public access easements be provided through the campus along Fulton and Cecil Streets. City Clerk=s Office Note: In accordance with the City=s procedure for alley abandonments, Resolution #2010-05 setting the Public Hearing (attachment to Committee minutes) will be presented to Council for consideration for adoption. Mr. Ruane moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation and adoption of Resolution #2010-05 setting a Public Hearing for August 9, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bonar and by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted Resolution #2010-05, as follows: A RESOLUTION PROPOSING THE VACATING AND ABANDONMENT OF CERTAIN ALLEYS AND STREETS SITUATED IN THE CITY OF DOVER.

Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that the report is required to fulfill the City=s bond covenants. She noted that the conclusion of the report indicates that the City=s power generation facilities are being operated and maintained consistently with accepted electric utility practices in the United States. The Committee recommended acceptance of the Annual Engineering Consultant's Report on the Operation and Maintenance of the Electric System for Fiscal Year 2009. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

Page 23

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 23 LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - JUNE 28, 2010 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on June 28, 2010 with Chairman Leary presiding. 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. Mr. Leary noted that there were no critical positions to be considered; therefore, no further action was required. Purchase of Ladder Truck - Dover Fire Department Fire Chief Sean Christiansen explained that, in accordance with the current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the Dover Fire Department sent out a specification for a piece of fire apparatus to replace the current Ladder 1. He stated that, after carefully reviewing the apparatus scheduled for replacement, due to the current economic downturn and their ability to rotate Engine 7 with other engines, the Dover Fire Department has requested deferral of the purchase of Engine 7 to Fiscal Year 2013. Fire Chief Christiansen reviewed a Presentation of the Replacement of Ladder 1 (attachment to Committee minutes) and advised members that the apparatus must be ordered by July 15, 2010 to secure current prices, since any orders after that date would be subject to a price increase of $30K-60K due to new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. Chief Christiansen stated that the estimated delivery date is July 2011 and an annual expenditure of $195,300 will be required for this purchase for seven (7) years beginning in 2012. He noted that the bidding process was accomplished through the Houston/Galveston Area Council (H-GAC), which is the same process used by the State of Delaware. Staff recommended approval of the amendment to the Robbins Hose Company CIP Sheet of the City 2012/2013 Budget and ordering the replacement ladder truck. Responding to Mr. Salters, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that, as a non-profit organization, the Dover Fire Department is eligible for tax-exempt financing. She stated that the interest rate used in the analysis presented was 6.94% and was based on the last truck that was purchased. She advised members that current interest rates are 2-3%; however, the actual interest rate will be determined when the truck is financed upon delivery. Mrs. Mitchell explained that the estimated $195,300 expenditure for the purchase is based on a 6.94% interest rate and, in discussing this matter with the bank, it was determined that, at current rates, the estimated expenditure will be $150,000 for seven (7) years. Although the actual expenditure

Page 24

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 24 is not known at this time, she assured members that seven (7) year financing is normal practice when financing fire apparatus. The Committee recommended approval of the amendment to the Robbins Hose Company CIP Sheet of the City 2012/2013 Budget and ordering of the replacement ladder truck. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Discussion - Requirement to Step Down When Running for Other Office - All Committees During their meeting of January 25, 2010, Committee members considered a proposal by the Dover Human Relations Commission to require that all Council, Committee, Commission, and Board members resign prior to running for other office. The matter was tabled to allow further discussion. The Committee removed the matter from the table. Mr. Salters noted the lack of interest from individuals in running for public office and felt it would be unfair to prohibit members of committees from running for office. Responding to Mr. Leary, Mr. Salters clarified that the requirement to step down should be removed from all memberships. The Committee recommended denial of the request that all Council, Committee, Commission, and Board members be required to resign prior to running for other offices, as amended to include removing the requirement from all memberships. City Clerk=s Office Note: Upon approval of Council, staff will prepare appropriate proposed ordinances to eliminate the resigning requirement of members of the Dover Human Relations Commission and Ethics Committee for review by the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee. Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes and three (3) no (Mr. Leary, Mr. Ruane, and Mr. Hogan). Mr. Leary moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried. SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT - JUNE 30, 2010 The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met on June 30, 2010 with Chairwoman Williams presiding.

Page 25

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 25 Request for Amendment to Chapter 18 - Animals, Section 18-16 - Keeping Bees (Deferred by Committee on April 28, 2010) During their meeting of January 27, 2010, they considered a letter received from Mr. Bill Benton requesting an amendment to Chapter 18 - Animals, Section 18-16 - Keeping Bees. After much discussion, the Committee indicated a willingness to consider a draft proposed amendment provided by the beekeeping community. Members were reminded that, during their meeting of April 28, 2010, they were provided a draft proposed ordinance amendment submitted by Mr. Bill Benton; Mr. Robert Volkomer, Vice President of the Kent County Beekeepers Association; and Mr. Robert Mitchell, State Apiarist, Delaware Department of Agriculture. The draft proposed amendment was mimicked from a document adopted in Louisiana. It was understood that additional revisions would be required. As recommended by the Committee, Mr. Benton and Mrs. McDowell, City Clerk, rewrote the draft proposed ordinance amendment in a format that meets City requirements, addresses the comments made by the Committee, and incorporates suggestions provided in the legal opinion from the City Solicitor's Office. The Committee recommended approval of Proposed Ordinance #2010-22, as presented (attachment to Committee minutes). Mrs. Williams stated that those interested in this matter may wish to attend the Council Meeting scheduled for July 12, 2010. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy 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). Timing of Traffic Lights - Hazlettville Road/North Street; North Street at Queen Street, New Street, Governors Avenue, and State Street Members were provided an email submitted by Mr. Jon Schmidt relaying concerns about the timing of the traffic lights on Hazlettville Road and North Street. He noted that prior to the installation of the traffic light at the Eden Hill Medical Center, the timing of the traffic lights on North Street at Queen Street, New Street, Governor's Avenue, and State Street was a source of frustration. He suggested that an alternative solution to the problem of regulating traffic through the North Street corridor would be to convert the lights at Queen Street, New Street, and Governor's Avenue to blinking operation. It was his opinion that the volume of traffic along North Street is sufficient to warrant blinking yellow lights, with blinking red along the north- south streets. In addition, he suggested that these lights be converted to blink after midnight, noting that he has returned from a variety of events late in the evening and has had to sit at a red light at each intersection while no traffic passes north-south.

Page 26

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 26 Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer for DelDOT and Public Relations Liaison, advised members that traffic signal synchronization can only be accomplished through instituting one-way traffic. He explained that if signal synchronization is accomplished for traffic traveling east, it will have the opposite effect on traffic traveling west. Mr. Laing stated that lights on North Streets are timed to "favor" eastbound traffic in the morning and, conversely, green lights are "favored" for westbound traffic in the late afternoon. He stated that this strategy is based on usage, explaining that most traffic travels east in the morning and west in the afternoon. However, he stated that the goal is to accomplish this in such a way that north/south traffic is not negatively affected. It was his feeling that some of the discontent with North Street signals is due to the installation of a new traffic light. Mr. Laing assured members that traffic signalization is constantly being monitored and adjustments are made accordingly. Briefing on Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Projects - Gary Laing Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer for DelDOT and Public Relations Liaison, provided members a briefing on DelDOT Projects, as follows: West Dover Connector Mr. Laing stated that, although there has been some progress involving the West Dover Connector, the project is currently at a standstill due to budgetary constraints. He advised members that all stakeholders have been informed of DelDOT=s preferred alternative and explained the processes involved with this project. He stated that this alternative has not been made public; however, there will be a public workshop in November, at which time the preferred alternative will be announced and public comments allowed. South Governors Avenue Improvements Mr. Laing reported that, according to contract, the improvements to South Governors Avenue must be completed by the end of 2010; however, it is hoped that the project will be completed by the fall. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Laing indicated that all work on Governors Avenue will be completed by 2012. Water Street Railroad Crossover Mr. Laing advised members that any at-grade railroad crossing requires approval from the railroad; therefore, if Norfolk Southern Railroad does not authorize the Water Street Railroad Crossover, this project will not come to fruition. He stated that there have been no recent discussions with Norfolk Southern Railroad; however, it is planned to bring this project back to the table. He reminded members that this is a negotiated process that will involve the elimination of another at-grade crossing within the State and legislative approval would be necessary for any closure of a railroad crossing.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 12, 2010 PAGE 27 After much discussion, Mrs. Williams suggested that all public and private parties collaborate on this issue. Wyoming Mill Road Project Mr. Laing advised members that, although the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has developed a proposed route for the Wyoming Mill Road Project, a final design has not been completed. DelDOT recently realized that a few of the earliest residents were not advised by the developer of the roadway being installed. He stated that these residents are extremely unhappy with the roadway being within 50 feet of their homes. Route 13 Paving Project Although specific details are not known, Mr. Laing advised members that he was just recently made aware of a major Route 13 paving project. He assured members that further details will be provided to members at the next meeting. Briefing on Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Projects Mr. James Galvin, Principal Planner with Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), briefed members on Dover/Kent County MPO Projects. He advised members that the MPO has submitted a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) amendment for the Wyoming Mill Road Project, due to an increase in cost and schedule changes. There has also been a TIP amendment request for a new rail study to provide rail service from Newark, through Dover, to Ocean City, Maryland. He stated that over the next few months, members will be made aware of the TIP amendments and advised members that the amendment process will include the consideration of the prioritization of projects and compliance with regional growth management. Mr. Galvin reminded members that the Dover/Kent County MPO had begun the process of developing a Neighborhood Plan surrounding the Transit Center (from North Street to South Street and from State Street to West Street). He stated that bids were solicited, received, and reviewed. Soon after, it was discovered that the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) was considering a similar project. As a result, he met with Mr. Bill Neaton, City of Dover Economic Development Director, and Mr. Gregg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, and it was ultimately decided to collaborate in the charrette process for the project which would then encompass not only the North State to South Street area, but also from South Street to Division Street. At this time, the MPO is planning to meet with the DDP to develop an agreement on this concept. If the DDP declines the suggestion, Mr. Galvin advised members that the MPO will move forward with the project independently. Mrs. Williams announced that future meetings of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee will be scheduled for 5:00 p.m. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for acceptance of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous

Present Use: Vacant Proposed Use: Commercial Retail Comprehensive Plan Designation: Commercial Present Zoning: CPO (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) Proposed Zoning: C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) Planning Commission Recommendation: Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on June 21, 2010, where no members of the public spoke in favor of or in opposition to the proposed rezoning the Planning Commission recommended approval of the request to change the zoning of the subject property from CPO (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) with COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial) with COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone), with 8 members voting in favor and one recused from voting. File Number: Z-10-05

Page 41

This rezoning application consists of one parcel of land owned by Route 8 & Saulsbury Road, LLC. The parcel is a total of 1.01 acres ± (43,995.6 S.F.). The property is currently zoned CPO (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The subject area is located on the east side of Saulsbury Road, south of the intersection with Forrest Avenue/Forest Street. Tax Parcel: ED05-076.11-01-24.00-000 Existing Property: The subject parcel is currently vacant. A previous application (S-08-30) for a CVS Pharmacy moved a property line for this parcel and has a required shared access through this property. Surrounding Land Uses: The land directly adjacent to the subject site on the north is the existing location of the CVS pharmacy building (currently under construction). The CVS property is zoned C-2A and subject to the COZ-1. The adjacent properties to the east and to the south are zoned RG-1(General Residence Zone). The properties located to the west of the subject site is the Gateway West Shopping Center, zoned SC-2 (Shopping Center Development). Comprehensive Plan: In the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1 as amended, dated 11/23/2009) recommends that this property be used for Commercial Use. The requested C-2A zoning is consistent with this category of uses. Request for C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) The types of permitted uses in the C-2A zone are given Article 3 §14 of the Zoning Ordinance. The permitted uses include convenience retail stores such as drug stores, grocery stores, luncheonettes, variety stores or combination thereof; personal service stores such as, but not limited to, barbershops, beauty parlors, and tailors, service establishments furnishing services other than of a personal nature, but excluding gasoline filling stations and motor vehicle storage, repair, or service; residences conforming to the regulations set forth in Article 3 Section 2; banks or businesses, professional or governmental offices; other retail and services establishments with exclusions; theatres, and restaurants; apartments, provided that no dwelling units shall be permitted in the first floor and at least one off-street parking space shall be provided in the area for each apartment; hotels, clubs and places of worship; and civic institutions. Article 4, Section 4.15 of the Zoning Ordinance address bulk standards for the C-2A Zone. The bulk standards are as follows: C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) Minimum required: Lot area Lot width (ft.) 50 Lot depth (ft.) 100 Front yard (ft.) 15 Side yard (ft.) None required, but 10 ft. min. if provided

Off-street parking Per 300 sq. ft. floor area or 1 Per employee (whichever is greater) 1 Maximum permitted: Building height Stories 6 Feet 60 Floor area ratio 4.0 Recommendation of the Planning Staff: This request is to rezone land from CPO (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The zoning requested is consistent with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan as amended 2009 and it is compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning classifications. For this reason, staff supports the rezoning request. The proposed use of the property, as commercial retail would be permitted under the C-2A zone. The rezoning would also place the two properties held in the ownership of Rt.8 and Saulsbury Road, LLC into the same zoning classification. Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on June 21, 2010, where no members of the public spoke in favor of or in opposition to the proposed rezoning the Planning Commission recommended approval of the request to change the zoning of the subject property from CPO (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) with COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to C- 2A (Limited Central Commercial) with COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone), with 8 members voting in favor and one member recused from voting. The following is an excerpt from the minutes of the Planning Commission hearing on this matter: Z-10-05 Lands of Route 8 & Saulsbury Road LLC at Sauslbury Road - Public Hearing and Recommendation to City Council regarding a rezoning application consisting of one parcel of land consisting of a total of 1.01 acre ±. The property is currently zoned CPO (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The subject property is located on the east side of Saulsbury Road, south of the intersection with Forrest Avenue/Forest Street. The owner of record is Route 8 & Saulsbury Road, LLC. Property Address: Saulsbury Road. Tax Parcel: ED05-076.11-01-24.00-000. Council District 4. Representatives: Mr. Conny Malmberg, principal of the Project; and Mr. Phil McGinnis.

Z-10-05 Lands of Rt. 8 and Saulsbury Road, LLC Report to City Council – July 12, 2010 Page 4 Mr. Baldwin recused himself from this application as he is a property owner located within 200 feet of the subject application which would be deemed a conflict of interest. Mr. Albert provided an overview of the application. Mr. Malmberg stated that the only DAC comment of substance would be the requirement of a cross access easement to the two parcels as they function as one center. This was done back in January and a copy has been provided to Mrs. Melson-Williams. Mr. Hemmig questioned with regards to the access road that was provided on the plan that was plotted in January for the CVS Pharmacy, is the exact location for this road fixed based on the previously approved Site Plan? Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mr. Albert stated that DelDOT approved of this compromise and it is a fixed location. Mr. Hemmig further stated that this takes out a lot of the 1.01 acre available for an actual building. Did you consider the actual available building space left when considering zoning and is it enough to meet zoning requirements? Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mr. Malmberg stated that when this portion of the integrated center gets developed, the cross access road that you see curving through the site will be incorporated into the travel lanes of the area around the building so it does impact on the value and the square footage that can be built on the property; however, it is not significant enough to impair it for C-2A purposes. Mr. Friedman opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak closed the public hearing. Colonel Welsh moved to forward a recommendation of approval to City Council for Z-10-05 Lands of Route 8 & Saulsbury Road, LLC located at Saulsbury Road from CPO to C-2A and to also include the COZ-1 zone, seconded by Mr. Hemmig and the motion was unanimously carried 8-0 with Mr. Baldwin recused.

MEETING DATE: June 3, 2010 APPLICATION: Lands of Rt. 8 and Saulsbury Rd., LLC ___________________ FILE #: Z-10-05 REVIEWING AGENCY: Dover/Kent County MPO CONTACT PERSON: Jim Galvin, AICP PHONE #: (302) 387-6030 The Dover/Kent County MPO has participated in the State’s Preliminary Land Use Services (PLUS) process for several months. The MPO requested the opportunity to bring the recommendations on issues of our concern to the City as well. The MPO will limit comments to projects to development proposals and applications that may lead to new development. Issues of concern to the MPO are effective transit, reducing the amount of vehicle emissions by shortening or eliminating trips, and facilities for alternative modes of transportation, including bicycle and pedestrian access. The MPO considers the bicycle facilities required by the City of Dover to be the standard for all applications, not to be waived. The following are advisory comments regarding the application: • This site is on the transit route of DART bus 113, on both legs of the trip. On the way out to Dover Mall, the bus passes the site on the east side of Saulsbury Road. The nearest stop is in Gateway West Plaza. As this and the adjacent CVS Drug Store develop, the demand for transit access to the site, for most any commercial/C-2A use, will become apparent. The MPO will inform DART of the upcoming development to allow consideration of a transit stop. Any development application should include a transit stop of a design DART specifies. Consideration of connections between parking lots of the subject parcel and the CVS site to the north should be mandated in any future site plan application. Pedestrian and bicycle access to the site is sufficient. If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the above contact person and the Planning Department as soon as possible.

Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on June 21, 2010, where no members of the public spoke in favor of or in opposition to the proposed rezoning the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the request to change the zoning of the subject property from M (Manufacturing) with COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to C-3 (Service Commercial) with COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The following is an excerpt from the minutes of the Planning Commission hearing on this matter: Z-10-07 Lands of Robert & Nancy Kauffman at 40-60 Ridgely Street - Public Hearing and Recommendation to City Council regarding a rezoning application consisting of one parcel of land consisting of a total of 2.0047 acres ±.

Tax Parcel: ED05- 076.08-01-26.01-000. Council District 4. Representatives: Mr. Phil McGinnis, McGinnis Commercial Real Estate Company, representing the Owner. Mr. Albert presented an overview of the application. Mr. Holt stated that Staff had stated that there were some violations of the Vacant Building Ordinance. Do you have any idea of what those violations were? Responding to Mr. Holt, Mr. McGinnis stated that the buildings have been historically used for warehousing and lighter manufacturing that fit in the C-3 district. The property has been vacant for about two (2) years partly because of the economy. Mr. Kauffman recognizes that there is some work that needs to be done there such as some broken fencing that needs to be repaired. Mr. Kauffman is trying to hold off until he gets a tenant before he does this. There is a perspective tenant for the smaller building and once this action gets finished, he will go ahead and finish fixing the fencing and some of the other violations. Mr. Nichols questioned if they were going to tear the buildings down as they were in bad shape twenty-five (25) years ago? Responding to Mr. Nichols, Mr. McGinnis stated that no, they were not. These buildings are good for their use which is warehousing. The tenant that will go in the little building will fix it up as these are steel frame buildings. Mr. Friedman opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak closed the public hearing. Mr. Ambruso moved to forward a recommendation of approval to City Council for Z-10-07 Lands of Robert & Nancy Kauffman located at 40-60 Ridgely Street from M & COZ-1 to C-3 & COZ-1, seconded by Mr. Hemmig and motion was unanimously carried 9-0.

CITY OF DOVER Dover/Kent County Metropolitan DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE Planning APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY Organization D.A.C. MEETING DATE: June 3, 2010 APPLICATION: Lands of Kauffman at 40-60 Ridgely Street FILE #: Z-10-07 REVIEWING AGENCY: Dover/Kent County MPO CONTACT PERSON: Jim Galvin, AICP PHONE #: (302) 387-6030 The Dover/Kent County MPO has participated in the State’s Preliminary Land Use Services (PLUS) process for several months. The MPO requested the opportunity to bring the recommendations on issues of our concern to the City as well. The MPO will limit comments to projects to development proposals and applications that may lead to new development. Issues of concern to the MPO are effective transit, reducing the amount of vehicle emissions by shortening or eliminating trips, and facilities for alternative modes of transportation, including bicycle and pedestrian access. The MPO considers the bicycle facilities required by the City of Dover to be the standard for all applications, not to be waived. The following are advisory comments regarding the application: • Service Commercial uses require greater consideration for access than property used for Manufacturing purposes. There are currently no sidewalks on Ridgely or Fulton and should be required for a change in use. (Neighborhood improvements are evolutionary. If the sidewalk ends at a property line, it will continue on when the adjacent property redevelops. It is not an excuse to not install sidewalks, especially for a Service Commercial use.) The facilities should consider bicycle access as well. The site is part of the City street grid and has adequate accessibility and accessible to transit provided on W. Division Street. If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the above contact person and the Planning Department as soon as possible.
