DOVER WHEREAS, Delaware has played an important role in American history, with the motto "Liberty and Independence," it was the first to ratify the United States Constitution on December 7, 1787 at the Golden Fleece Tavern located in it's capital, Dover. It was given the nickname the "First State," and for five days, it was the only “United State” of America; and WHEREAS, Dover was named the most patriotic City in the entire state in 2018 and 2019 by Insurify and has roads named after exemplary Naval Officers such as Admirals William Halsey, Jr., Chester W. Nimitz, and Raymond A. Spruance. Dover was also listed

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 8, 2019 PAGE 3 in the New York Times for their spectacular Fourth of July Fireworks demonstration dating back to 1976 in celebration of the capital’s history; and WHEREAS, Delaware was home to 18 Medal of Honor recipients dating back to the Civil War, as well as 878 Gold Star Heroes, according to Military Families United. Dover Air Force Base is also located within the capital and plays an indispensable role in the global transportation network, as well as fulfilling the nations most sacred commitment at the Air Force Port Mortuary, Charles C. Carson Center for Mortuary Affairs, ensuring dignity, honor, and respect to all of the fallen heroes of the United States military who have made the ultimate sacrifice to our country. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council request the Secretary of the Navy to consider naming a United States Naval Vessel, the U.S.S. Dover, in honor of Dover's rich history, the Medal of Honor recipients, and as a memorial to all who pass through Dover AFB's Port Mortuary on their final trip home. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council direct the City Clerk to make this resolution a part of the permanent records of the City of Dover as a lasting symbol of appreciation and gratitude to Dover’s past, present, and future service men and women. ADOPTED: JULY 8, 2019 PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2019-11 - REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 53 NORTH WEST STREET AND 517 WEST DIVISION STREET A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property located at 53 North West Street, consisting of 0.20+/- acres, and 517 West Division Street, consisting of 0.35+/- acres, owned by Harman Oil, Inc. The properties are currently zoned C-1A (Limited Commercial) and the proposed zoning is C-2A (Limited Central Commercial) (Tax Parcels: ED-05-076.08-04-02.00-000 and ED-05-076.08-04-01.00-000; Planning Reference: Z-19-05; Fourth Council District). Mr. Neil moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2019-11 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of April 22, 2019.) Planner's Review Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the petition to amend the zoning district and the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission. He noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg explained that the intent of the rezoning was to provide a wider array or variety of activities on the property and more liberal setbacks and building coverage requirements.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 8, 2019 PAGE 4 Mr. Sudler stated that his only concern was that there is a high density of vehicles on West Street and Division Street and that there is currently a gas station on the other side of the light and sometimes the traffic gets a little backed up. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg advised that there are a lot of uses that are possible within the C-2A (Limited Central Commercial) zone, including retail stores, business and professional offices, personal services, restaurants, a variety of service establishments, places of public assembly, etc. He noted that a gas station is permitted as a conditional use to a permitted activity in the C-2A zone and that, in discussions with Harman’s, the most significant conclusion is that this area lacks any kind of basic, nearby convenience stores and general retail and they have clearly indicated that is what they propose to do. Public Hearing Council President Hare declared the public hearing open. Mr. John Paradee of Baird Mandalas and Brockstedt, LLC, representing the applicant, advised that Mr. Mark Strickland of Century Engineering and Mr. William Harman, Jr., one of the principle owners of the property, were present to answer questions. Mr. Paradee noted that the Staff report indicates that the application satisfies all of the criteria for a rezoning under section 5.3 of the Dover Code. He advised that the request is compatible with the existing uses and zones in the area, there are a number of other commercial uses in the area, this proposal was consistent with the City's efforts to improve the downtown district, there are adequate public facilities and infrastructure in place and, most importantly, the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which recommends mixed commercial uses in this area. Mr. Paradee advised that this parcel is too small to do anything substantial with and the reason that they applied for a C-2A zone as opposed to C-2 is to gain some flexibility on setbacks. He noted that the parcel technically has three (3) front yards and under C-1A they would have to have a 25-foot setback on all three of those sides, which severely compresses the permitted building envelope for the property. Mr. Paradee stated that by rezoning to C-2A, the three (3) side yards gain another 10 feet which gives them a lot more flexibility in terms of design and placement of any improvements on the property. Mr. Paradee pointed out that under the zoning ordinance there are only three (3) uses that are permitted in C-2A that are not permitted in C-1A as first permitted uses, those are hotels, places of public assembly, and drive-throughs. He noted that a gas station would require a conditional use application before the Planning Commission and advised that they re-presented to the Planning Commission, NCALL, and the neighbors that they do not intend to develop a gas station at this site. Referring to concerns that were expressed at the Planning Commission meeting, Mr. Paradee advised that although the C-2A zone would permit a six-story hotel on this site and C-1A allows two (2) stories, building anything greater than two stories on this small parcel is impractical because of the parking requirements. He noted that a two-story building would require 26 parking spaces and any additional floor above two would require an additional 13 spaces or 39 for three stories and so on.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 8, 2019 PAGE 5 Mr. Paradee stated that they do not have a user for the property and that they were simply asking for the rezoning in order to give them some flexibility on setbacks and design. He provided a memo from Mr. Mark Strickland of Century Engineering that explains the C-2A zone versus the C-1 zone (Exhibit #2). There being no one else wishing to speak, Council President Hare declared the Public Hearing closed. Mr. Polce moved for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and, by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted Ordinance #2019-11, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 53 NORTH WEST STREET AND 517 WEST DIVISION STREET. WHEREAS, the City of Dover, Delaware 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 us of the properties described below from C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone) to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial 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-1A (Limited Commercial Zone) to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) on the property located at 53 North West Street, consisting of 0.20 acres (8,512 SF +/-) and on the property located at 517 West Division Street, consisting of 0.35 acres (15,278 SF +/-) (at the northeast corner of the intersection of North West Street and West Division Street), owned by Harman Oil, Inc. (Tax Parcels: ED-05-076.08-04-02.00-000 and ED-05-076.08-04-01.00- 000; Planning Reference: Z-19-05; Fourth Council District) ADOPTED: JULY 8, 2019 ADVANTECH ABATEMENT Mrs. Cheryl Bundek, City Assessor, advised that Advantech applied for an abatement of real estate taxes in April or May of 2019. After review of the application with Staff and the Deputy City Solicitor, it was determined that they did not qualify for the abatement based on the qualified employee dates of hire. It was determined that the official date of hire for the timeline would be the date of the building permit and not the date of purchase of the land from the City of Dover. Advantech believes that the date of the purchase of the land should be the date that the City would consider the dates of hire for the new employees.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 8, 2019 PAGE 6 Mrs. Bundek noted that if, however, counsel believes that the date of hire should be the building permit date, Advantech has provided an employee list from that date and they have the required 15 new hires. However, only 60% are city or county residents and the code requires 75%. She noted that the Code allows City Council to reduce the 75% to a lesser percentage but not to less than 50%. Mrs. Bundek advised that Advantech is asking Council to consider the date of the purchase of the land as their commitment to the relocation/expansion of their business or to consider reducing the 75% requirement to 60%. Responding to concerns, Mrs. Bundek noted that City Solicitor Rodriguez advised an amendment to the Code to make interpretation of this section easier. Mr. Rodriguez stated that they would not be setting a precedent by reducing the percentage of city/county residents. Mr. Anderson moved for approval of Advantech’s request to reduce the percentage of city/county resident hires from 75% to 60%. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Prior to discussion of this item Mr. Slavin recused himself from this issue because Advantech is under contract with the State agency that he runs and he signs both contracts and payments with them.) COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT - JUNE 25, 2019 The Council Committee of the Whole met on June 25, 2019 at 6:01 p.m., with Council President Hare presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce, and Mr. Taylor. Mr. Lindell was absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Contant and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). Mr. Garfinkel and Mr. Shelton (Safety Advisory and Transportation) were absent. SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Taylor presiding. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Anderson moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Update - Safety Issues at the Library Mr. Slavin moved to defer the update regarding safety issues at the Library until the Council Committee of the Whole/Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting of July 23, 2019, seconded by Mr. Neil. Mr. Anderson stated that he could support the motion to defer this matter, since he thought there had been substantial efforts made by the Library staff and the City Manager to accommodate both availability and safety.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 8, 2019 PAGE 7 Mr. Neil moved to call the question, seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. The motion to defer the update regarding safety issues at the Library until the Council Committee of the Whole/Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting of July 23, 2019 was unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Quarterly Update - Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee Mr. Gerry Pennington, Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee Chair, and Mr. Chris Asay Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee Vice Chair, reviewed the Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee Quarterly Update. Mr. Slavin expressed concerns regarding the route of the Senator Bikeway, explaining that there is an existing problem with traffic in the alley near Hazel Road and he thought it would be dangerous to have bicycle traffic in that area as well. He asked staff to encourage the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to look at this issue, noting that he thought closing off the stub of Maryland Avenue between American Avenue and the alley to vehicle traffic would solve the problem. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, advised that the City is responsible for the maintenance of all of the delineators that will be installed along the Senator Bikeway. She noted that the Senator Bikeway project was approved by City Council and staff will have to maintain the components that result from the project. Mrs. Mitchell stated that she could provide members with the budget information regarding the maintenance costs, noting that the City is responsible for street maintenance from curb to curb. Mr. Taylor stated that he thought this was the cost of doing business, explaining that if the City wants bicycles on the roadways, then the City has to abide by the mandates set forth by DelDOT. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Asay confirmed that no traffic lanes would be lost for the Senator Bikeway. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Asay advised that DelDOT was responsible for the bike lane on Route 13, and noted that there had been a fatality involving a bicyclist at the intersection of Route 13 and College Road. Mr. Pennington explained that Route 13 is considered a high stress bikeway; however, almost the entire route of the Senator Bikeway is along neighborhood streets that have very low traffic volumes, and the intention is to make the bikeway safe enough to allow a 12-year-old child to make the trip alone.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 8, 2019 PAGE 8 Mr. Taylor stated that he is a firm believer that the City should make an investment in and promote bicycle safety within the City limits. He noted that he thought that if the City wants more people to start using these pathways, they needed to promote them as a positive option, and tell people about safety, and greenhouse effect. Mr. Taylor asked if a traffic study had been completed in regard to the Senator Bikeway project. Responding, Mr. Slavin noted that the traffic studies are typically triggered by new developments that bring additional vehicles onto the road; however, if one was done, it would have been completed by DelDOT. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:20 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Council President Hare presiding in the absence of Chairman Lindell. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Mr. Contant introduced himself, noting that he had grown up in the City, currently lives in the Village of Westover, and is excited to take part in City government. Evaluation of Bids - Property Reassessment Mrs. Cheryl Bundek, Tax Assessor, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the property reassessment. Staff recommended awarding the proposal for revaluation services to Tyler Technologies in the amount of $104,550, plus any additional overage fees. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Bundek explained that the overage fees could be used for litigation or extra appeals that Tyler Technologies may need to be involved in. She also noted that the overage fees may be necessary if additional funds are required for the mailings, explaining that the budget was based on the actual cost five (5) years ago. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Bundek stated that when the fieldwork was completed by the outside vendor 10 years ago it cost approximately $785,000. Mr. Slavin moved to recommend awarding the proposal for revaluation services to Tyler Technologies in the amount of $104,550, plus any additional overage fees, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.

Who Names Navy Ships?? The Secretary of the Navy, under the direction of the President and in accordance with rules prescribed by Congressional Naming Conventions. Congress has influenced the naming of certain Navy ships. The Navy suggests that congressional offices wishing to express support contact the office of the Secretary of the Navy to make their support known.

What can the City of Dover Do? 1. Through a resolution make the case to the Secretary of the Navy to name a USS Dover. 2. Ask our Congressional team to support the request.

EXHIBIT #2 Regular Council Meeting on 07/08/2019 .TTTT CENTURY ENGINEERING 4134 N. Dupont Highway, Dover, DE 19901 t 302.734.9188 centuryeng.com June 3, 2019 Mr. John W. Paradee, Esq. Baird, Mandalas, Brockstedt; LLC. 6 S. State Street Dover, Delaware 19901 RE: Harman Oil, Inc. Zoning Application Z-19-05 Lands of Harman Oil, Inc. at 53 North West Street and 517 West Division Street and Ordinance #2019-11 Rezoning Memo Dear Mr. Paradee, During the May 20 th , 2019 City of Dover .Planning Commission Public Hearing, members of the public spoke in opposition of the rezoning of parcels ED-05-076.08-04-01.00 and ED-05-076.08-04-02.00 from C-1A to C-2A citing specific concerns about tb.e. potential development of the subject parcels with the proposed zoning. The primary concern expressed was that of a large hotel or apartment structure being constructed that is not consistent with the character of the nearby residential· areas. While the Owner of the parcel has no plans for the development of the parcel at this time, a concept display was developed with the purpose of demonstrating a more realistic mixed- use development of the-subject-parcels.· In the attached concept a 7,700 SF, 2-story building is shown, with the minimum required parking located on site (26 spaces). Minimal vacant space remains .on the property to accommodate,additional parking. Using the attached concept as a ·reference, ·any additional floors above the 2-story structure shown in the concept would require a minimum of an additional 13 parking spaces with C-2A zoning. This is simply not feasible given the size of the parc:el_s, nor is the comstruction of a parking structure/garage economically feasible. The additional building height, number of stories, a)'ld floor area ratio flexibility granted by the C-2A zoning designation will likely have ho impact ofthe future development of these lands. The primary bulk area benefit of,:tezQ'ning to C-2A lies in that the C-2A zoning requires only a 15' frontyard setback, compared with 25' hi C-1A. This iS! particularly important given the small size of the parcels and that the West, East, and South property lines will all be considered frontages subject to the front yard setback. On a parcel of this size, this single setback revision increased.the buildable area of the combined parcels from 10,839 SF to 14,264 SF. While this may seem like a large increase, the additional area primarily will deliver enhanced flexibility in locating the buildi~.,.as 1he size·oHhe·building itself will still be limited by the parking requirements.

CENTURY fflT ENGINEERING 4134 N. Dupont Highway, Dover, DE 19901 t 302.734.9188 centuryeng.com Additional permitted uses offered in C-2A (excluding hotels) include places of public assembly and drive- throughs. Specific examples of potential developments permitted in C-2A and not C-1A include: • Retail - Pharmacy with drive through • Retail - Fast food or deli with drive through • Small Church or Community Center (place of public assembly) Each of the permitted uses listed above would more be feasible and realistic development options than a 3+ story hotel or apartment building with the proposed zoning. Sincerely, Mark Strickland, P.E. Century Engineering, Inc. Attachments: Concept Plan
