BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) and the Delaware Geological
Survey (DGS) have provided the City of Dover with information on the current and future state of the Piney
Point, Cheswold and Columbia aquifers. These are the aquifers that the City utilizes to obtain potable water for
our customers. The Piney Point and Cheswold aquifers are at risk for depletion, and the Columbia aquifer is
experiencing saltwater intrusion due to the level of pumping by the agricultural community in the area.
As good stewards of the resource, the City will implement an operational change to our Water Production
Division. Typically, this Division utilizes the Columbia aquifer during the summer months to provide potable
water to our customers. This is also the time that the agricultural community uses the same aquifer to irrigate
their crops. This new plan will propose that the City utilizes the Columbia Aquifer during the winter season of
our operations. The Piney Point and Cheswold aquifer will be utilized more during the summer operation to
supplement the water demand. This proposed operation will allow the Piney Point and Cheswold aquifer to
recharge during the winter season. This plan will also reduce the strain on the Columbia aquifer during the
summer, thus decreasing the potential of salt water intrusion.
The proposed plan will not impact our allocation permit and the City will continue to meet all the regulatory
requirements of DNREC.

City of Dover
Water Production Division
The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental
Control (DNREC) and the Delaware Geological Survey
(DGS) have provided the City of Dover with their concerns
about the future of our water sources:
Depletion of Aquifers
Saltwater Intrusion
We will do our part to minimize our impact on these
sources.
Page 10

Water Sources
The City of Dover utilizes three (3) main groundwater
aquifers for our water distribution system:
1. Columbia - source for the Long Point treatment plant
2. Cheswold - source for deep wells
3. Piney Point - source for deep wells
Other users of these three (3) aquifers include private wells,
farmers, and water providers spanning New York to North
Carolina.
Page 11

Columbia
The Columbia aquifer is shared by multiple users including
private wells and farmers. DGS has discovered saltwater
intrusion occurring at non-City wells in this aquifer. If this
continues, it could damage the aquifer and render our
wells useless or require expensive treatment to desalinate.
To help minimize our impact even more than we currently
are doing, the Water Production Division is altering our
operations of the Long Point treatment plant so that we
pump less from this aquifer while the farmers are pumping
during the growing season (May to September).
Page 12

Cheswold and Piney Point
The primary concern is the Piney Point aquifer. DGS states
that we could be seeing effects of the Piney Point decline
in as early as 3 to 5 years, with Piney Point depletion by
2040. We have already had to reduce our usage at 2 of
our wells due to this decline.
Although the condition of the Cheswold does not match
the concern with the Piney Point at this time, the Cheswold
aquifer is under close observation by DGS and the water
supply community.
To help minimize our impact even more on both aquifers,
the Water Production Division is altering our operations of
the deep wells by allowing these wells to recover during
the winter months and pumping water more equitably,
when possible, from both the Cheswold and Piney Point.

Future
This is a new operating procedure for the Water
Production Division. We will be requesting feedback from
DGS, as they continuously monitor all 3 aquifers, to
determine if our mitigation efforts have had a positive
impact on these aquifers.

TIME TIMETABLE: Adoption of the Ordinance and Design Manual Fall of 2020
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discussion only at this time of preliminary documents, unless the
Committee develops specific recommendations during discussion.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION: Staff is presenting an update on the development of provisions related to Wireless
Communications Facilities (WCF) in the City of Dover. The Utility Committee is provided the
Preliminary Draft of an Ordinance to regulate all Wireless Communications Facilities and an
accompanying Small WCF Design Manual that is specifically targeted to Small Wireless
Communications Facilities (SWCF). This discussion is an update on project progress and a chance for
City Council and Utility Committee members to provide comment and direction.
BACKGROUND: The City is working on setting the regulatory framework for Wireless
Communications Facilities (WCF). The Ordinance and associated documents will establish regulations,
application & review processes, and fees. Wireless Communications Facility include Small Wireless
Communications Facilities (SWCF) such as those attached to utility poles; Non-Tower Based Wireless
Communications Facilities like those antennae attached to buildings or water towers; and Tower Based
Wireless Communications Facilities such as monopoles and lattice or guyed towers. Locations of the
facilities include those within public rights-of-way and on properties.
The so-called fourth and fifth generation technologies (4G and 5G) require more numerous transmitters
and antennae to transmit the volume or calls and text, but especially data. The preferred option for the
City and the private sector companies is to attach these SWCF, which are small relatively inconspicuous
Page 16
devices, to existing streetlights and other infrastructure in the street right-of-way. Most of that
infrastructure belongs to the City of Dover. Attachment to City of Dover equipment will require us to
enter into agreements (Master License Agreements) with various companies to spell out the terms and
conditions prior to having any equipment attached to a City pole. Currently, the City is in negotiation
with AT&T (New Cingular Wireless, PCS LLC) and Verizon for Master License Agreements (MLAs).
Discussions have occurred with industry representatives and City Staff in the Planning Department,
Electric Department, Department of Public Works, and the City Manager’s Office on the topic of WCFs.
Initially, the City Manager’s Office retained the services of the Cohen Law Group and Mike Roberts, an
attorney with the firm drafted a model documents including an initial draft WCF ordinance, a draft
Design Manual and a draft Master License Agreement. Since then Principal Planner Dawn Melson-
Williams and City Planner Mr. Hugg have worked to modify the Proposed Ordinance and Design
Manual documents in cooperation with the Electric Department over the last four months to shape it to
the City needs and processes. Except for final editing/formatting, ordinance cross-checking, legal
review, and setting the fees, the Proposed WCF Ordinance is essentially ready for introduction.
• Exhibit A – Preliminary Draft of Wireless Communications Facilities Ordinance (WCF
Ordinance 1A – Planning 7-8-2020)
As we try to complete an ordinance for review and eventual adoption, no issue is stickier than the
placement of new poles for Small Wireless Communication Facilities (SWCF). Federal Law prohibits
“effective prohibition” of deploying the necessary SWCF. Effective prohibition can be described as:
A regulation that materially limits or inhibits the ability of any competitor or potential competitor to
compete in a fair and balanced legal and regulatory environment. Effective prohibition occurs when a
state or local legal requirement materially inhibits a provider’s ability to engage in any of a variety of
activities related to its provision of service. It means that they can assert the right to some facility
somewhere nearby, not only when filling a coverage gap but also when densifying a wireless network,
introducing new services or otherwise improving service capabilities. This does NOT prohibit us from
making reasonable requirements to locate across a street, cover all the make-ready costs, or meet higher
aesthetic standards in historic and other pre-designated sensitive areas.
The approach taken related with Small WCFs in some jurisdictions also involves a Design Manual; the
City of Dover is also working to develop such a manual. We have been contacted by future applicants
with some concepts for potential location requests for Wireless Communications Facilities with
attachments to existing infrastructure and/or the placement of new poles. This is helping us to
understand and formulate the considerations for review and the needed application and
interdepartmental coordination of procedures.
• Exhibit B – Preliminary Draft of “City of Dover Small Wireless Communications Facility
(SWCF) Location, Design, and Permit Application Manual”
It is important that the Committee understands as we move forward that the technology provides the
ability to improve wireless data transmission which can be advantageous to the City, residents and local
businesses. It also requires SWCF every 400 to 700 feet for complete network availability. The City
needs to move forward with regulations that meet Federal guidelines but incorporate community
standards to the extent possible.

II. ACTIVE RECREATION AREA PLAN SUMMARY:
As part of the Plan review process for this project, the applicant prepared a Conceptual
Recreation Plan which illustrates how the Landing Square Apartments development will provide
recreation amenities in accordance with the design specifications described in Zoning Ordinance
Article 5, Section 10 Open space, recreation, and other public facilities. Due to the property size
and unit density, this project does not qualify for any of the Active Recreation Area exemptions
for small developments under Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §10.5.
The Active Recreation Area is required at a rate of 275 SF per unit or a half acre (21,780 SF),
whichever is greater. With this project of eighty (80) units, the Active Recreation Area
requirement calculates to 22,000 SF which is greater than the half-acre (21,780 SF).
The Active Recreation Area proposal for the Landing Square Apartments project is depicted in the
floor plan submission and in a Letter of Request. The proposal is to provide a “Club House /
Community Space” area of 3,336 SF on the first floor and an Open Deck area of 2,610 SF on the
fourth floor of the apartment building. The following table provides information from the
submitted Plan for the Active Recreation Area as proposed:
Required Provided on Plan
Active Recreation 275 S.F. per dwelling unit or ½ Club House area and Open
Area (Article 5 acre (21,780 SF) whichever is Deck = 5,946 SF
§10.514) greater to be provided on site. • 3,336 SF Club House
• 2,610 SF Open Deck
80 DU = 22,000 SF
Required = 22,000 SF
Provided: 5,946 SF
Deficient: 16,054 SF (0.37 ac)
Active Recreation Accessible Located inside the building.
Amenities Club House area located on
(Article 5 §10.15) ground level (1st floor) and
Open Deck accessible by stairs
or elevator (4th floor).
Active Recreation Age Oriented to development Open community area lends
Amenities itself to multi-purpose activities
(Article 5 §10.15) and meeting space. Area is
adaptable to what the tenants
prefer the space to be.
Parking This type of recreation area
does not have associated
parking needs. There are on-site
parking areas for the apartment
complex.

Setbacks: 30 feet from There are no specific equipment
residential lots and 25 feet from amenities or designated game
right-of-way for street court surfaces that must meet
this requirement.
Landscaping The recreation area is contained
within the building and does not
require additional landscaping.
III. CONSIDERATION OF CASH-IN-LIEU
The applicant has made a request for consideration of Cash-in-lieu of Recreation Area
Construction. Their request seeks to pay cash-in-lieu of construction the remaining recreation
area of 16,054 SF (22,000 SF – 5,946 SF). If the Planning Commission determines that the
construction of some or all of the required active recreation area is not practical or desirable, then
they shall require a full or partial cash in lieu donation for the portion of the active recreation
area determined as not practical or desirable. The applicant would be required to make a cash
donation to the City’s Parkland Reserve Fund in lieu of the required recreation area.
Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §10 addresses Open Space, Recreation and Other Public Facilities
outlines the calculation of the amount for cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction.
For the calculation of the amount of the cash donation, the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §10.173
Amount of cash donation specifies that the “cash donation shall be equivalent to the appraised
value of land area required…” and that land area value shall be “based on the appraisal prepared
for the developer to secure construction financing.”
An appraisal performed by Newmark Knight Frank, Report dated April 2, 2020, was submitted
to the Planning Office. (The appraisal document is on file in the Planning Office.) This appraisal
identifies a market value (land value) of the entirety of the property which was utilized to
generate a land value per acre. Based on the value of the 16,054 SF of land required to satisfy the
Active Recreation Area requirement, the cash-in-lieu amount was determined. See calculation
below:
2020 Appraisal of Land Value: $3,440,000
Bay Road property consists of 12.9366 acres of land
Land Value per acre = $265,912.22 per acre
Active Recreation Area Deficiency =16,054 SF = 0.3685 ~ 0.37 acre
Cash-in-Lieu Amount = $265,912.22 per acre value x 0.37 acre = $98,387.52
IV. REVIEW PROCESS
The Planning Office has prepared this Active Recreation Area Report outlining the Recreation
Area proposal and outlining the amount of the Cash-in-lieu donation. The Parks, Recreation and
Community Enhancement Committee will need to consider the proposed Active Recreation Area
and the proposed Cash-in-lieu of Recreation Area payment request and make a recommendation.

V. CODE CITATIONS:
Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix B – Zoning, Article 5 – Supplementary Regulations,
Section 10 – Open Space, Recreation and Other Public Facilities (select excerpts).
Article 5 Section 10
Section 10. - Open space, recreation and other public facilities.
The City of Dover shall require the reservation of open space, recreation and other public facilities in
accordance with the provisions of this section as a condition of approval for all one-family dwelling, two-
family dwelling and multiple-family dwelling residential developments requiring conditional use approval,
site development plan approval, or land subdivision approval by the City of Dover Planning Commission.
10.1 Recreation areas.
10.11 Purpose. The purpose of this section is to ensure that active recreation areas are
provided as an integral design element within residential developments and that such facilities are
of an adequate scale in relation to the size of the residential development and which provide
residents with a variety of active recreational pursuits.
10.12 Dedication required. The commission shall require the dedication or reservation of
recreation areas, and the subsequent construction of recreation facilities of a character, extent
and location suitable to the needs created by a development for recreation facilities as defined
and in accordance with the design guidelines set forth.
10.13 Definition. The following are illustrative of the types of recreation areas and subsequent
facilities that shall be deemed to serve active recreational needs and therefore to count toward
satisfaction of the recreation area requirements of this section: tennis courts, handball courts,
racquetball courts, swimming pools, saunas and exercise rooms, meeting or activity rooms within
clubhouses, baseball and soccer fields, basketball courts, volleyball courts, swings, slides and
play apparatus, and developed walking, jogging or biking trails.
10.14 Recreation area review….
10.15 Design guidelines…

dedication, or cash donations provided under this section must be submitted to, and approved by the
parks, recreation, and community enhancement committee of the City of Dover, and shall be subject to
final review and approval by [the] city council.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are comments and recommendations from Staff of the Planning Office following
review of the Active Recreation Area Plan and Request for Consideration of Cash-in-lieu.
1) Active Recreation Area: As a residential development there is a requirement for Active
Recreation area. The project proposes a “Club House” and “Roof Top Deck” with no specific
amenity improvements. The floor plan shows the community space proposed as the “Club
House” would consist of two larger rooms, one with a door and one open to a hallway and a
smaller room with a door as well as two public restrooms. All rooms are connected by a
hallway with an entrance from the front corridor and one entry on the side of the building
open directly to the exterior. The floorplans show no detail for the 4th Floor Deck other than
two entrances to the deck off the main hallway on either end of the open space.
Staff Recommends the following regarding this Recreation Area:
a. Club House / Community Space: Further development of the Active Recreation areas
are needed. If they are to be strictly meeting spaces, please provide furniture layout. If
they are going to hold any type of activities, this would be important to demonstrate
on the plans or a more thorough written description would suffice.
b. 4th Floor Deck Area: The deck is referred to as a “Roof Top Deck” although it
appears from the floor plan that it is on the 4th floor. There is no representation of this
area on the Site Plan or Architectural Elevations provided. Clarification is required on
Page 50
C-20-02: Landing Square Apartments (Bay Road Commercial) Active Recreation Area Review and Approval of
Cash Donation
Report to Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee – July 14, 2020
Page 6 of 7
the location of the deck and all visual representations should reflect its location.
c. Bike Parking & Connectivity: Bike parking should be located inside and around the
apartment building. The proximity to the multi-use path on Bay Road and the
connection to the Capital City Trail and St. Jones Greenway Trail would suggest that
heavy bicycle use would be common amongst the tenants.
i. Add exterior (outside) bike parking specific to the apartment
building. The other bike parking locations provided on site are
not within the proximity of the apartment building.
ii. Provide an indoor bike storage area for apartment tenants
d. Pedestrian Connectivity: Staff notes that the sidewalk system could easily be
extended in several locations to increase pedestrian connectivity for the overall
development and this residential component. This apartment building location is on a
bus route and presents many live-near-your-work opportunities.
i. Extension of the sidewalk from the rear of the building coming
out of the northern exit along the site entrance off of Bay Road
would result in a safer connection for residents to the mutli-use
path along Bay Road.
ii. Extension of the sidewalk along the west side of the first
entrance off of the Bay Court Plaza Boulevard would create a
safer pedestrian crossing for residents who may be traveling to
the neighboring Bay Court Plaza Shopping Center rather than
crossing the drive aisle at its widest part behind the south
Restaurant site.
e. Amenities: The project provides 120 parking spaces over the required number of
spaces. An attempt to remove some or all of these spaces would result in an
opportunity to add more green space and additional amenities for residents. These
amenities could include a patio with sail-like shade feature, small fenced in dog yard,
additional landscaping or covered bike storage pavilion. In addition, there are
opportunities to provide benches and dog waste stations along the sidewalks around
the apartment building as it currently exists.
2) The proposed plan presents an area designated for Active Recreation Area for this project.
However, the plan is required to provide 22,000 SF of Active Recreation Area and it is
currently shown as proposing 5,946 SF of Active Recreation Area. The project deficit is
16,054 S.F. of Active Recreation Area.
a. The deficiency of Active Recreation Area must be satisfied. There are multiple
options to achieve this including, but not limited to, a reduction in the project unit
count and/or size of the proposed building to increase outdoor open space availability,
the addition of interior recreation space, or a cash-in-lieu donation for the recreation
area. The applicant has made a request for Cash-in-lieu of Recreation Area
Construction.
3) Consideration of Cash-in-lieu of Recreation Area Construction: The Commission should
determine how the proposal should best address the requirement for an Active Recreation
Area, which must be at least 275 SF per dwelling unit (275 SF x 80 D.U. = 22,000 SF) as
required by the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant is seeking to instead pay a Cash-in-lieu for
Page 51
C-20-02: Landing Square Apartments (Bay Road Commercial) Active Recreation Area Review and Approval of
Cash Donation
Report to Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee – July 14, 2020
Page 7 of 7
a portion of the required area not provided. Staff recommends acceptance of the $98,387.52
Cash-in-lieu of Recreation Area Construction donation, as the amount complies with the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
VII. ADVISORY COMMENTS
1) The Conditional Use Site Plan set including any floor plans depicting the Recreational Area
are to include appropriate improvements, plans, and details of the Recreation Area as
approved.
2) A Cash-in-lieu of Active Recreation Area Construction payment shall be submitted for the
agreed upon amount to the Planning Office prior to the issuance of the Building Permit for
the Apartment Building. The Cash-in-lieu donation will be deposited in the City’s Parkland
Reserve Fund account.
3) There shall be provisions which ensure that the community space (all areas under
consideration for active recreation areas) shall continue as such and be properly managed and
maintained. The developer shall either retain ownership and responsibility for maintenance of
the common use areas or provide for and establish one (1) or more organizations for the
ownership and maintenance of all common space i.e. a Homeowners Association. The
organization shall be responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes on the community
space.
4) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Plan occur in the finalization of the Plan
contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of buildings, relocation of site
components, changes in floor area or unit count, or design revisions impacting Active
Recreation Areas. These changes may require resubmission for review by the Development
Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making
recommendations in regard to the plan.
5) The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee shall submit to the
Planning Commission a report detailing the recommendations as to the Recreation Area Plan
and Request for Consideration of Cash-in-Lieu Donation.

RE: Approval to Backfill a Blighted Federally Protected Area
Dear Honorable Tom Carper,
Honorable Chris Coons,
Honorable Lisa Blunt Rochester:
I am the Honorable Roy Sudler, Jr. 4th District Councilman for the City of Dover, reaching out
to you in great urgency on behalf of our constituents located at Woodcrest Drive [Pat Lynn
Drive] Dover, Delaware 19904.
Dated as far back as 2001, the Woodcrest community has been tormented with community
enrichment and environmental problems that have exceedingly impeded upon our constituent’s
freedom to enjoy their real property, hardscape, and family gatherings. Within the last two
decades, issues centered on the federally protected wetland/water-drainage system has generated
a public safety and environmental anxieties that require your approval to be eliminated from their
community.
Problems such as infectious mosquitoes, snakes, groundhogs, wild fox, snapping turtles, and
chemicals used to mitigate undesirable vegetation all serve as the focal point for a reduction in
the community’s satisfaction and optimal well-being. This predicament has diminished the
opportunity for community members to enjoy a lovely evening on their patio or entertain guests
in their backyard because of all the problems, as mentioned earlier, that now take habitat in the
federally protected area.
Those who live near the blighted area have encountered several groundhogs that come searching
for food reshaping their landscape and devaluing their property. Furthermore, the quality of the
water appears to be weak, and no surface water seems to be flowing during dry periods.
Nevertheless, the Woodcrest community members are frightened by the thought that the pipe
construction activity and land modifications have significantly contributed to the water level
inconstancy accelerating cavities and two sinkholes in the ground near the wetland.
Furthermore, individual community constituents assume that the shift in the once known runoff-
storage ditch/pond in concomitance with the weight of the installed pipe material may have
triggered the decay of the roof of an existing subsurface, resulting in the evolution of two
sinkholes. The concerns, as pointed out earlier, navigate to the background of the problem.

LETTER TO U.S. REPRESENTATIVES
Background of the Problem:
According to the former City of Dover Manager (Toney DePrima -575 Westwood Drive Dover
DE 19904), the Capital School District wanted to expand their parking lot area adjacent to the
ditch; however, the ditch area rendered a perceived public safety issue. To address the public
safety issue, the Capital School District asked the City of Dover to construct and install a
pipeline in the ditch in preparation for backfilling that area.
However, it was not until that point that the City of Dover and Capital School District discovered
that the perceived ditch area was a federally protected wetlands area; thus, coercing the cessation
of completing the primary goal of the project. The consequence of an uncompleted project two
decades ago has rendered an adverse effect on the Woodcrest Community, which now needs
U.S. Representatives' assistance in rectifying the problem.
The Woodcrest Community in conjunction with the Capital School District, City Council, Mayor
of Dover, 31st District of House of Representatives, and 17th District Senator have exercised due
diligence in working together to achieve this goal as one force; unfortunately, we have exhausted
all accessible means of completing this task and now seek your support.
With your support and approval, a critical step towards restoring the community’s satisfaction
and optimal well-being will be accomplished while simultaneously rendering psychological and
physical relief to our constituents that are confronted with these dilemmas. According to title 7
Conservation Natural Resources, Chapter 66. (Wetlands) your approval is needed to backfill the
blighted area, as mentioned above.
Therefore, the local and state representatives, as mentioned earlier, in conjunction with the
Capital School District, urge the United States Delaware Representatives to grant our request and
authorize the backfill of the wetlands area in quest of rendering immediate relief to our
Woodcrest Community Constituents upon your most immediate convenience.
In closing, we appreciate your public service and look forward to gaining your approval and
support in resolving this crisis.
Respectfully,
Honorable Roy Sudler, Jr.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Parks and Recreation programming was greatly impacted with the COVID19 closures and subsequent
guidelines put forth by Governor Carney. Programming such as Tae Kwon Do, Adult Fitness Classes
(Yoga, Zumba, Soul Line Dancing to name a few) were ceased and cancelled for the remainder of the
summer. The Youth Soccer League had to be cancelled along with the Adult Softball Leagues. Camps
took a hard hit, we were not able to host our Spring Break Camp, Super Summer Playground camp, Camp
Small Wonder or the variety of sports camps. Activities such as Card Making for Adults and Movies in the
Park all had to be cancelled.
As restrictions have been slightly lifted, our staff thought outside of the box to find new and enticing
opportunities to get families back outside with programming for all ages. Working within the guidelines,
staff has developed a path forward to get us back on track, offering our citizens the quality recreational
programming they have come to know.
Currently, the Spring and Summer Performing Arts Series is off to a great starting the first week of June.
Staff modified the program by ensuring signage of facial coverings and hand sanitizer is available for
concert goers. Circles were painted to allow families to sit together, while keeping the required six feet
apart guideline. Concert attendees have expressed their gratitude for brining the series back this year, even
though they have to wear their mask while at the show.
Sports Coordinator, Steve Pickering was able to work with high school field hockey league participants to
offer an amended version of the Summer High School Field Hockey League. Games kicked off Monday,
July 6 with athletes, officials and spectators following social distancing and facial covering guidelines.
This is an exciting evening of true athletes giving it their best. Join us at Schutte Park on Monday &
Thursday evenings (facial masks required)!
Grab and Go Kits! A new way to entice children with fun craft ideas. The recreation specialist developed
weekly themes for inexpensive craft kits to give a way. Wednesdays in July, families may drive up to the
Page 61
Pitts Recreation Center and staff will hand them a craft kit to take home and enjoy! This program received
great feedback, with a family even posting their creation on Facebook! This offers families an afternoon of
fun with limited exposure to others.
Looking to get those Easter Eggs out, Saturday, July 11, we are hosting the Super Summer Egg Hunt for
ages 10 and under. Staff is excited to get this new form of Easter Egg hunting open to our families.
Can’t dance inside, so our Soul Line Dance instructors, said we’ll dance outside! Thursday evening, C &
K Soul host line dancing in front of the Pitts Recreation Center. Class participants come, register on site
and dance their problems away. We have put out special decals in the parking lot, they pick a spot and get
moving and maintain social distancing.
This fall, we are looking to restart Adult Softball Leagues and Youth Soccer League. Future guideline
updates will dictate whether or not we can actually move these outside leagues forward. We will be ready
and prepared to get programs back on the field!
Playgrounds were opened on June 22 and the Pitts Center was opened on June 29 for walking with social
distancing. Staff is able to monitor social distancing in the Pitts Center, but not at playgrounds. We have
one set of basketball goals open which is the only place where we did not have problems with vandalism.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Dover Public Library closed to the public on Saturday, March 14th at the beginning of the COVID-
19 pandemic. The closing was in part due concern for public health, but there were also public safety
concerns. In the four months since Dover Public Library closed, numerous physical renovations and
policy changes have been implemented to clean the Library, the reduce the chance of spreading disease
in the Library, and to improve the safety of our patrons.
Improvements and major events in the Dover Public Library since March 14, 2020
Cleaning/COVID
• A thorough and deep cleaning of the library has been conducted. The entire front area has been
rearranged with a reduction in clutter.
• The Friend’s of Library area is cleaned and organized.
• Approximately six tons of non-circulating books, materials and unusable furniture have been
discarded. Other items were auctioned either on GovDeals or transferred under consignment to a
local auctioneer.
• Procedures have been developed to leave all book returns and new materials for 72 hours
followed by hand-cleaning before being put into circulation.
• The windows, gutters, benches and sidewalk in front of the Library has been cleaned.
• Social distancing will be required. Waiting lines in in front circulation, public service desks, and
public printers were marked with “X”s at 6 foot intervals. New signage was created for physical
distancing, hygiene, etc. Half of the computer terminals have been disabled at the computer table
• Plexiglass shields are in use at circulation and public service desks.
• The green roof has been cleared of weeds and new vegetation will be planted as soon as weather
permits.
Page 63
Security
• Additional electronic Pro-Watch electronic access panels have been added to the Library
including on the restrooms to allow staff and security guards to quickly access the restrooms in
emergency situations.
• Additional cameras and monitors have been installed indoors by Advantech that allow the
security guard and the Library Director to view the interior and exterior cameras live or search
recorded information. In the next month or so, the feed should be directly available to the Dover
PD.
• Advantech also completed a seamless 360◦ view of the Library exterior.
• Several secluded areas, originally designed to provide patrons with quiet and privacy, have been
sealed up to become closets or private study rooms requiring a key from the circulation desk.
• Sunstates Security will return to the Library under the State Contract to provide security all hours
we are open. We expect to bring them in a week early and coordinate training on the security
video playback system.
• Areas outside the library have been cleared of vegetation or fenced off to eliminate areas where
people had previously been sleeping, leaving trash, urinating, and defecating.
New Policies/Staff
• Bag sizers are being ordered and a new policy is being implemented to restrict the size and
amount of baggage that patrons can bring into the Library. (One small personal item like a purse
and a one that is carry-on size [24” W x 16” H x 10” D or smaller]) – No bedding.
• Masks and social distancing will be required and enforced by staff or security service.
• We are instituting a 60-minute limit at the computer per session; 90 minutes per day.
• Enforcement against sleeping and eating in the Library will be uniformly enforced.
• Curbside service for library materials began June 8th and we are exploring ways to continue the
service for the foreseeable future. Curbside print services followed a couple weeks later.
• One-line programming started in early June and we are likely to continue it as a hybrid in-
person/on-line offering in the future.
• New Director Brian Sylvester and the new Assistant Director, Megan Johnson begin Monday,
July 20th.
What is left to be decided: When to reopen and at what level.
