SPECIAL COUNCIL - VDBO Minutes and Exhibits 1-4

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING A Special Council Meeting was held on July 1, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. with Council President Hare presiding. Council members present were Mr. Neil, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce, and Mr. Taylor. Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, and Mr. Lindell were absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present (departed at 6:46 p.m.). Council staff members present were Deputy Solicitor Pepper, Mr. Hugg, Mrs. McDowell. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - PROPERTY LOCATED AT 210 WEST DIVISION STREET, OWNED BY MICHAEL-ENWAN-KENWAN / OROCK HOLDING LLC A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 210 West Division Street, owned by Michael-Enwan-Kenwan / Orock Holding LLC. Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed a presentation depicting the condition of the property (Exhibit #1). Staff recommended: 1) declaring this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) ordering the property demolished by August 1, 2019 by the owners or equity owners at their own risk; 3) ordering the Building Inspector to cause the demolition of the structures if not completed by the owners within 10 days of the date established by City Council; and 4) ordering the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of demolition to be charged against the lands on which the buildings exist as a municipal lien or cause such costs to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owners. Mr. Tim Taraila, Code Enforcement Supervisor, advised members that Sunnyfield Contractors, Inc. applied for a demolition permit and it was approved that day. He stated that the asbestos had been removed and the property is ready for demolition; however, Sunnyfield Contractors, Inc. indicated that they are busy and it may take them 20 to 30 days to get to the site, so the owner has requested an additional 15 days to demolish the structure. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Taraila stated that there was no money owned to the City on this property, noting that all taxes and fines were paid. Council President Hare declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to speak, Council President Hare declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Neil moved for approval of staff’s recommendation to 1) declare this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) order the property demolished by August 1, 2019 by the

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 1, 2019 PAGE 2 owners or equity owners at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the demolition of the structures if not completed by the owners within 10 days of the date established by City Council; and 4) order the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of demolition to be charged against the lands on which the buildings exist as a municipal lien or cause such costs to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owners. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor. Mr. Hugg requested that the motion include the additional 15 days requested by the owner. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Taraila explained that the in the last 30 days the owner has been in compliance and been working with the City, so he thought it would be reasonable to give him an extra few days. Mr. Taraila noted that he had contacted Sunnyfield Contractors, Inc. and they told him it may take them 20 to 30 days to get to this site. Mr. Neil requested to change the motion to allow the additional time, and Mr. Taylor agreed. In response to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Taraila explained that after 30 days, staff provides 10 days for them to remove personal effects and, if they do not demolish the structure, he begins preparing for the demolition. Mr. Slavin clarified that they would have had 40 days and the change would give them 45 days. The motion to: 1) declare this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) order the property demolished by August 1, 2019 by the owners or equity owners at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the demolition of the structures if not completed by the owners within 15 days of the date established by City Council; and 4) order the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of demolition to be charged against the lands on which the buildings exist as a municipal lien or cause such costs to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owners was unanimously carried. PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - PROPERTY LOCATED AT 316 WEST DIVISION STREET, OWNED BY JOE W. BURDEN, JR. A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 316 West Division Street, owned by Joe W. Burden, Jr. Mr. Tim Taraila, Code Enforcement Supervisor, reviewed a presentation depicting the condition of the property (Exhibit #2). Staff recommended: 1) declaring this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) ordering the property demolished by August 1, 2019 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) ordering the Building Inspector to cause the demolition of the structures if not completed by the owners within 10 days of the date established by City Council; and 4) ordering the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of demolition to be charged against the lands on which the buildings exist as a municipal lien or cause such costs to be added to

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 1, 2019 PAGE 3 the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owners. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, referred to the document provided to members by Mr. Taraila listing the properties owned by Mr. Burden and the amounts owed to the City (Exhibit #3), noting that the total owed for 316 West Division Street is $640.13. Mr. Taylor noted that Mr. Burden received a stop work order for 316 West Division Street for work being done without a permit and asked if had applied for a permit since that time. In response, Mr. Taraila stated that there were no current permits for 316 West Division Street. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Taraila confirmed that the list provided to members included all of the properties owned by Mr. Burden, the amounts owed to the City for each property, as well as the total amount owed to the City for all properties and there was no way of calculating the amount of staff time that had been spent on all of these issues. Council President Hare declared the public hearing open. Ms. NaKysia Lemon Williams spoke against demolishing the property, noting that they were currently working on the building at 320 West Division Street, so they had not been able to work on 316 West Division Street and were requesting more time. She noted that the amount of taxes owed to the City for 316 West Division was $640.13, which was a very low amount and they planned to pay it very soon. Ms. Lemon Williams stated that they were trying to request permits, as well as a structural engineering report because they believe the structure is damaged. She explained that the property owner owns approximately 30 properties and it is difficult to get things completed with a limited amount of workers and money. Ms. Lemon Williams noted that the owner does, however, contribute a lot to the community, explaining that he provides low income housing for families in the community, who would not otherwise have an opportunity to rent a home due to credit or other issues, like a criminal record. She stated that members were disappointing the entire community by tearing down these buildings because it would result in less homes for families to live in. Dr. Joe Burden Jr., 941 Lincoln Street, Dover, spoke against demolishing the property. He noted that he did not technically become the property owner until January 2016 because he was in probate until that time. Dr. Burden stated that his father passed away in October 2014, so when the electric was disconnected for this property in 2015, he had just moved back to Delaware and was in the process of paying the City a past due balance of $350,000 that his father had incurred for vacant building fees. He informed members that he had been proactively working to modify several houses, and had remodeled 25 homes in the past three (3) years and now have people living in those properties. Dr. Burden stated that he is very actively involved in community, he tries to help young people by providing job opportunities; however, his crew only consists of himself and two (2) other people. He noted that he just completed several projects and is currently working on these particular properties on Division Street. Dr. Burden stated that he did not believe the City had to spend a lot of time or resources on his properties. He informed members that his property taxes were all paid, explaining that if they weren’t, the Clean Hands Ordinance would be enforced and his electric would be disconnected, as was done a couple of years ago. He stated that, at that time, he was sold

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 1, 2019 PAGE 4 approximately 12 properties to Habitat for Humanity and NCALL and was able to pay the City what he owed. Dr. Burden explained that, despite the amount of money he currently owed the City, the taxes for his properties had been proactively paid since his family owned them over the past 35 years. He noted that there has been a discrepancy with the vacant building fees he was charged since 2015, explaining that Kent County PRIDE shows that was when he became the owner; however, he was in probate until January, 2016, and he has talked to Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, about this discrepancy on several occasions and is seeking legal advice regarding this matter. Responding to Mr. Polce regarding Dr. Burden’s comments in reference to the vacant building fees he was assessed, Mr. Hugg stated that there is an exemption for vacant building fees when an individual is in probate; however, based on the legal opinion provided by Deputy Solicitor Pepper, the City has to go by what Kent County identifies as the owner of records of a certain date. He advised that, although Dr. Burden had provided more than adequate information about when his father passed and when the probate process ended, the date that Kent County has consistently carried forward as the date that the properties passed to him is the earlier date. Mr. Taylor asked Dr. Burden how much time he would need to make the roof on this structure safe. In response, Dr. Burden indicated that there were currently ladder jacks attached to the roof from where his construction team out of Philadelphia was previously working. He stated that he could have the house in tip-top shape in 90 days. Mr. Taylor stated that it would be difficult for him to agree to anything other than the demolition of the property at this point. Responding, Dr. Burden agreed that the house looks bad and is bad on the inside. He explained that they had been putting most of their emphasis on 320 West Division Street. Mr. Taylor asked why Dr. Burden does not just proceed with the demolition of 316 West Division if he wants to put all of his resources into 320 West Division Street. Responding to Mr. Hare, Dr. Burden stated that he was getting an attorney to look into the amount that the City claims he owes regarding the vacant building fees. Dr. Burden said that he would try to do the best he could to fix everything. There being no one else present wishing to speak, Council President Hare declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Polce noted that Ms. Williams commented that if this home were to be demolished, it would be a disappointment to the community. He stated that every time Council meets on these issues, one word just plays in my mind and it’s stewardship. Mr. Polce explained that stewardship for the community is why they serve, and there’s no way to shape, frame, market, or sell that a building that tearing down a building that has been unoccupied and unable to be occupied for nearly half a decade would be a bad decision and a disappointment to the community. He stated that Dr. Burden owes a total of $47,276.35 to the City and, even if the discrepancy that Dr. Burden and Mr. Hugg have discussed is more than $11,000, that alone is not stewardship. Mr. Polce stated that he did not think there was any reason for these blighted buildings to continue to drive down property values in the City’s communities or for this lack of stewardship.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 1, 2019 PAGE 5 Mr. Neil stated that empty buildings cause more problems because they attract problems. He expressed his opinion that creating a safer roof would not resolve the issues with his house. Mr. Neil indicated that this situation is bad and never gets done and there has to be a point where Council looks at what the other citizens are doing. He noted that he goes to the Habitat for Humanity buildings and he feels that they will last longer simply because the people who are buying those homes have a responsibility for what happens to their home and to the community. Mr. Polce moved for approval of staff’s recommendation to: 1) declare this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) order the property demolished by August 1, 2019 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council; and 4) order the City Manager with the assistance of the City Solicitor to cause the cost of demolition to be charged against the land on which the building exists as a municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - PROPERTY LOCATED AT 320 WEST DIVISION STREET, OWNED BY JOE W. BURDEN, JR. A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at Property located at 320 West Division Street, owned by Joe W. Burden, Jr. Mr. Tim Taraila, Code Enforcement Supervisor, reviewed a presentation depicting the condition of the property (Exhibit #4). Staff recommended: 1) declaring this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) ordering the property demolished by August 1, 2019 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) ordering the Building Inspector to cause the demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council; and 4) ordering the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of demolition to be charged against the lands on which the buildings exist as a municipal lien or cause such costs to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owners. Council President Hare declared the public hearing open. Dr. Joe Burden Jr., 941 Lincoln Street, Dover, spoke against demolishing the property. He noted that he acquired the property in 2016 and the tenants living there were difficult to deal with, did not pay rent for a year and a half, and he believed they were selling drugs. Dr. Burden explained that while they were living there, a tree fell on the back of the house and damaged the roof and ceiling, which caused a leak and they did not report it to him until the ceiling began to deteriorate. He stated that whenever he experiences a situation with a tenant, he calls Mr. Taraila or his staff to come out to inspect the property, noting that he had to call City staff three (3) or four (4) times in regard to 320 West Division Street because the tenants were complaining. Dr. Burden informed members that he recommended that the house be condemned because he wanted the tenants out because they were

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 1, 2019 PAGE 6 neglecting the property. He stated that he takes pride in his properties, even though there are stereotypical perceptions about him being a slum lord, which he suggested could be attributed to the fact that he owns properties in low-income areas or because there is a strong proactive approach to gentrify the downtown area. In regard to the $11,000 owed to the City for this property, Dr. Burden stated that there are times when he has disputes with the inspectors because he feels like they target him and fine him for every little thing. He noted that the roof on the Delaware Auto Sales property across the street is rotten; however, he did not think the inspectors could see that, stating that he thinks they can only see minority-owned properties in despair. Dr. Burden stated that he understands a strong approach to gentrification, explaining that he had made the community safe and was choosing to leave his properties vacant because the people who want to rent from him are drug dealers and half of them aren’t good people and don’t want to pay their rent. He indicated that he is also leaving his properties vacant so he can work on bringing them up to par until the area gentrifies and he can attract better tenants to come to the area. Responding to Mr. Burden, Mr. Taraila stated that he received a permit to repair the roof on August 17, 2018; however, not inspections had been done and the permit had expired. Dr. Burden informed members that he received an extension on his permits for this property the previous week, which Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, could verify. He noted that the pictures presented were not current and that the entire inside of the house had been gutted, a new roof had been installed, and siding was installed on the front. Dr. Burden stated that they were aggressively working to repair this property and guaranteed that within 60 days it would be one of the best looking properties on Division Street. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Taraila explained that Dr. Burden has an active permit for a door replacement and for siding for 320 West Division; however, the roof permit expired. He stated that he thought that Dr. Burden’s intentions are good, but noted that four (4) permits had been taken out to replace roofing and all four (4) had expired without any inspections. Dr. Burden explained that he does not like to call for inspections until he has completed a project. Responding to Mr. Hare, Dr. Burden confirmed that the tenants did not pay rent for a year and a half. He explained that although he did not own the property at that time, they should have been paying him, since he was the representative for the estate. In response to Mr. Hare, Dr. Burden indicated that he would have the house 100% up to code within 60 days or the City can tear it down. Mr. Neil asked whether Dr. Burden carries insurance on his properties and, if so, what he collected from the insurance company when the tree fell on this house. Responding, Dr. Burden stated that whether or not he carries insurance on his properties is his personal business and irrelevant to the discussion regarding the demolition of this property. He noted that he was not complaining about the money, he was simply informing members that the tenants were delinquent in paying their rent and were selling drugs out of the house. There being no one else present wishing to speak, Council President Hare declared the public hearing closed.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 1, 2019 PAGE 7 Mr. Polce advised that, according to Merriam-Webster, gentrification is the process of repairing and rebuilding homes and businesses in deteriorating areas, such as urban neighborhoods, accompanied by an influx of middle-class people. Additionally, he stated that, according to the 2010 census track, Dover’s average median income is $48,338, which he believed would mean that this is outside the mission of NCALL and Habitat for Humanity. He noted that he wanted the record to accurately reflect this information, since there are claims that the City is gentrifying areas, when in fact the City is creating opportunity for individuals with fixed-incomes and low-incomes. Mr. Taylor informed members that he went to the property today and the house looked a little different from the pictures presented. He stated that there were people there cleaning the house out; however, he did not go inside because he asked for Dr. Burden specifically and was told he was not there. Mr. Slavin moved for acceptance of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Cole. Mr. Hare stated that he agreed with a lot of the comments that had been made; however, he did not want this matter to come back to Council, so he was inclined to provide Dr. Burden 60 days, and if the property is not 100% up to code and passed by the City inspectors, then it will be demolished. He explained that he had gone by the property and it did look different from the pictures presented. Mr. Hare noted that Council had given Dr. Burden the benefit of many doubts over the years, but he thought this would have a definitive ending. Mr. Slavin moved to call the question, seconded by Mr. Polce and unanimously carried. The motion to accept staff’s recommendation failed by a roll call vote of four (4) yes (Neil, Slavin, Cole, and Polce), two (2) no (Taylor, and Hare), and three (3) absent (Anderson, Sudler, and Lindell). Mr. Taylor moved to grant Mr. Burden 60 days from July 1, 2019 to bring his property into compliance with all codes and, if Mr. Burden fails to do so, all structures on the property must be demolished. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a roll call vote of five (5) yes (Neil, Slavin, Cole, Taylor, and Hare), one (1) no (Polce) and three (3) absent (Anderson, Sudler, and Lindell). Mr. Slavin moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m. TRACI A. McDOWELL CITY CLERK
