CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION July 21, 2014 The Regular Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Monday July 21, 2014 at 7:00 PM with Chairman Colonel Welsh presiding. Members present were Mr. Cregar, Mr. Tolbert, Mr. Holt, Mr. Baldwin, Dr. Jones, Ms. Still, Mr. Ambruso and Colonel Welsh. Mr. Holden was absent. (Mr. Holden arrived at 7:05pm.) Staff members present were Mrs. Townshend, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Cook and Mrs. Mullaney. Also present were Mr. K.C. Sheth, Mr. Greg Scott and Mr. John Paradee. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Ms. Still moved to approve the agenda as submitted, seconded by Mr. Holt and the motion was unanimously carried 8-0 with Mr. Holden absent. APPROVAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES OF JUNE 16, 2014 Mr. Holt moved to approve the Planning Commission minutes of June 16, 2014, seconded by Mr. Tolbert and the motion was unanimously carried 8-0 with Mr. Holden absent. COMMUNICATIONS & REPORTS Mrs. Townshend stated that the next Planning Commission meeting will be held on Monday, August 18, 2014 at 7:00 PM in the City Hall Council Chambers. Mrs. Townshend stated that the next Planning Commission Quarterly Workshop will be held on Tuesday, August 19, 2014 at 12:00 noon in the City Hall Conference Room. Mrs. Townshend provided an update on the regular City Council and Utility Committee meetings held on June 23, 2014 and July 14, 2014. Mrs. Townshend stated that several weeks ago there was a workshop for the Restoring Central Dover Plan that was held at the Wesley Fellowship Hall. They are expecting the draft document from that to come out shortly. That is the planning effort for the Downtown Area that’s being funded through the Wells Fargo Foundation. The planning is being led by NCALL. Obviously, they will make sure that when that is available they will share it with the Commission and at some point have a presentation on it. That will be a key component to the City’s Downtown Development District Application which they will be working on in the fall. Those application deadlines will be in the fall; that will be a big project for Planning Staff. It will probably be discussed at the August Quarterly Workshop. Mrs. Townshend stated that the APA Regional Conference will be held in Newark. Delaware is hosting; they take turns hosting with Maryland. Delaware is hosting the Regional Conference during the last week of October. If anyone is interested, the registration materials aren’t out yet but if they can let staff know so that they can plan accordingly. There is probably some funding available. Colonel Welsh stated that the Regional Planning Meetings are very informative. He attended one 1

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2014 when he first came on the board and he learned a lot. If anyone is interested, please let Mrs. Townshend know. Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mrs. Townshend stated that if they get a lot of people interested in going then they will have to come up with a way of figuring out how the cost gets divvied up. Too much interest is not a bad thing. OPENING REMARKS CONCERNING DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS Mrs. Townshend presented the audience information on policies and procedures for the meeting. OLD BUSINESS 1) Requests for Extensions of Planning Commission Approval: None NEW BUSINESS NEW DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS 1) SB-14-04 Lands of Kalpkish, LLC at 348 North DuPont Highway – Public Hearing and Review of a Minor Subdivision to create two (2) parcels of land from an existing 3.35 acre ± parcel, on the site currently occupied by Super 8 Motel. The parcel will be subdivided into a 2.55 acre ± parcel and a 0.80 acre ± parcel. The property is zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone), located on the southwest side of DuPont Highway northwest of Oak Lane and abutting Silver Lake. The property owner is Kalpkish, LLC, c/o Kishor C. Sheth. Property Address: 348 North DuPont Highway. Tax Parcel: ED-05-068.13-01-79.00-000. Council District 3. This application is associated with V-14-06 heard by the Board of Adjustment on May 21, 2014 regarding a variance from the rear and front setback requirements. Representatives: Mr. John Paradee, Prickett, Jones & Elliott; Mr. Greg Scott, Scott Engineering; Mr. K.C. Sheth, Owner of Record Mr. Cook stated that application SB-14-04 is a Minor Subdivision to create two (2) parcels of land from an existing 3.35 acre ± parcel at 348 North DuPont Highway. The property is zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). The existing lot is currently occupied by Super 8 Motel, a restaurant and a retail store in two (2) structures. The proposed subdivision creates two (2) parcels. Lot 1 would be the parcel with frontage on Route 13. The rear of the existing property is called residual parcel which would be created from the rear portion of the existing parcel and would have frontage on Oak Lane. The proposed new line runs between the existing buildings on the property. The front building has a restaurant and store. The rear structure has sort of a U-shaped hotel structure. The lot line would run between the two (2) primary structures. On June 18, 2014 the Board of Adjustment approved Variance Request V-14-06 to reduce the rear yard setback requirement for Lot 1 to one (1) foot and to reduce the right side yard setback for residual parcel to ten (10) feet. At present, there is no vehicular access to the current property from Oak Lane. The applicant is establishing utility and cross access easements between Lot 1 and the residual parcel. A cross access easement is also being established between the subject properties and the adjacent property at 318 North DuPont Highway, which currently has a Friendly’s restaurant. 2

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2014 The property was subject to review by the Silver Lake Commission as required by Zoning Ordinance Article 5, Section 11.251. Comments from the Commission are provided in the DAC Report. The applicant is requesting a waiver of the sidewalk requirement for the proposed Oak Lane frontage, noting that new construction or re-development of the property is not proposed at this time. Any future proposals would be subject to Planning Commission review per the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The DAC Report contains comments from the Planning Office, the Department of Public Works, the Fire Marshal’s Office, DelDOT, Kent Conservation District as well as Silver Lake Commission. These agencies have been in regular communication with the applicant in order to address issues related to fire protection, utility provisions and transporation access. Mr. Paradee stated that he thinks it’s helpful for the Commission to understand the background and why the applicant is here tonight. The principal reason for proposing this subdivision presently is in order to facilitate a refinancing of the property. As it’s currently composed, the hotel with the retail attached at the front doesn’t quite appraise as well as it would if it were separated. That is the reason why the applicant is pursuing it. There is no intention presently to change anything about the operation of the property or change the ownership in any way. He doesn’t think the Fire Marshal has any problem with the way the property is being operated currently,: however, the DAC comments offered by the Fire Marshal indicate that they would like to see a number of issues relating to utilities and fire protection addressed at such time as any changes are made. In looking at the DAC comments from the Fire Marshal, there are six (6) of them and he wants to mention briefly numbers 2, 3, 4 and 6. Number 2 reads, “Currently the two parcels/buildings are connected by a covered walkway. It appears that an I-Beam is a part of the covered walkway connecting the two parcels/buildings. Contact the Chief Building Inspector prior to any work being conducted to separate the parcels/buildings.” There is no intent to separate those buildings currently so they, are asking that that condition be enforced at the time that either the ownership or the uses of the property change. Likewise with regard to Requirements 3, 4 and 6 which are essential legitimate concerns by the Fire Marshal should the use or the ownership of these parcels change in any way. What he suggested to Mr. Sheth was that he signs a written commitment that he would implement each of these recommendations at the time that he makes in either the ownership or the current uses of the properties. As he understands it, the Fire Marshal has no issue with the way the properties are currently being operated. He has a document that he would like to present that does that and if there are any other technical questions, Mr. Scott can address those. (Document submitted.) Mrs. Townshend stated that obviously the Fire Marshal will have to review this document. She thinks that the idea probably needs to be recorded with the Subdivision so that if there is a property transfer, these things would have to happen. The challenge that they have is while the applicant is simply striking a lot line for business reasons and not with the intent of selling, once there is a lot line the property can be legally sold. If you sell one property and they are tied together in any way, it can create real problems. If there is something recorded that addresses those issues, it would make sure that the property would not transfer without this being addressed. Colonel Welsh questioned if this was something that the Planning Office could handle internally? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mrs. Townshend stated yes. 3

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2014 Colonel Welsh further questioned if this would be predicated on the Fire Marshal’s approval? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mrs. Townshend stated yes. Mr. Paradee stated for the record, they want to make sure that it’s clear that Mr. Sheth is not trying to escape any of those comments. He agrees with all of them. It doesn’t make any sense to implement them under the present arrangement but he understands if the use of the property changes or the ownership changes then they must be implemented at that time. Colonel Welsh questioned if the applicant accepted all of the DAC comments? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Paradee stated yes. Mr. Cregar questioned if the added supplemental statement that was just presented would be on the final Check Print also? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Mrs. Townshend stated that she believes that it would need to be on the plat. Mr. Cregar stated that right now there are no changes being made. Supposing at some point from a parking standpoint, how would that change if the ownership changed and they had different uses? He knows that they have cross easement on the property and there is combined parking but how would the parking be on an individual parcel? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Mrs. Townshend stated that they did not evaluate the per parcel parking. They would need to probably look at it in terms of whether each parcel has the parking to satisfy its requirements. Mr. Paradee stated that they did submit to the Planning staff copies of cross access and utility easement documents. Those documents would be recorded and would be enforceable; they would just need to make sure that the parking is adequate. Mrs. Townshend stated that staff can make sure that in the final version everything is there. Colonel Welsh opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the public hearing. Mr. Holden stated that he noted that the sidewalk waiver came in after Staff comments were produced. Were there any additional comments from staff on the July 13, 2014 letter from Scott Engineering? Responding to Mr. Holden, Mrs. Townshend stated that there were not any additional comments. For instance with the Minor Subdivision at the former Sheraton, they tied the sidewalk construction to the change of use so that if there were a change of use, before a Certificate of Occupancy could be issued that would need to be done. The Commission could do the same here so that if there is a development activity that doesn’t necessarily bring it to Planning Commission that could be a requirement. Colonel Welsh questioned if the applicant was requesting a waiver for the sidewalk on Oak Lane? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Paradee stated yes. Colonel Welsh stated that that would need to be part of the motion as well. 4

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2014 Mr. Holden questioned how that would be worded to ensure that when there is a potential change in use that the sidewalk waiver be re-evaluated? Responding to Mr. Holden, Mrs. Townshend stated that things only require a sidewalk if they come to the Planning Commission. If it’s a change of use that does not require Planning Commission approval, it would be done administratively. In the case of the other application that was done very similarly, the motion included the requirement that the sidewalk waiver was not required for the Subdivision but would be required before a Certificate of Occupancy could be issued for a change of use of the property. Mr. Holden further questioned if the person implementing the proposed change in use had issues with that requirement, what recourse would they have at that point? Responding to Mr. Holden, Mrs. Townshend stated that typically if somebody wants to get out of something that was a motion of the Planning Commission, first they would come back to the Planning Commission. Mr. Holden questioned with regards to the Fire Marshal comments, how would they be incorporated onto the plat to ensure that they were addressed? Responding to Mr. Holden, Mrs. Townshend stated that they would have to work with the Fire Marshal’s Office. The Fire Marshal comments are under the State Fire Prevention Regulations and the NFPA Regulations so they are kind of beyond the scope of the Planning Commission to alter. She thinks what Mr. Paradee submitted was something to put on the record to say that those comments would be addressed but it will be with the Fire Marshal. He will need to make sure that before it’s recorded that the language is sufficient to meet his code requirements. Mr. Holt moved to approve SB-14-04 Lands of Kalpkish, LLC at 348 North DuPont Highway to include the waiver of the sidewalk requirement on Oak Lane until there is a change of use. Mr. Cregar questioned if they should also include the added notes of that request? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Mrs. Townshend stated that she thinks they could include it with the DAC comments. Mr. Holt moved to approve SB-14-04 Lands of Kalpkish, LLC at 348 North DuPont Highway to include the waiver of the sidewalk requirement on Oak Lane until there is a change of use and with the DAC comments, seconded by Mr. Holden and the motion was carried by roll call vote 9-0. Mr. Holden voting yes, per staff comments and that the Subdivision plans comply with the regulations. Mr. Cregar voting yes, the application is incompliance with the City’s regulations for Subdivision and per the DAC comments. Mr. Tolbert voting yes, since he received clarification on the Fire Marshal comments and requirements. Mr. Holt voting yes, based on all comments made by Mr. Paradee. Mr. Baldwin voting yes, based on the requirement of the agreement for the intended use. Dr. Jones voting yes, based upon all of the previous comments in terms of compliance. Ms. Still voting yes, the DAC comments have been addressed and all of the discussion has met all concerns. Mr. Ambruso voting yes, there is no reason to vote no. Colonel Welsh voting yes, the application meets all requirements of the City code and all associated requirements. NEW BUSINESS 1) Nomination and Election of Offices (Chairman and Vice-Chairman) Nominations for Chairman were opened to the floor. 5

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 21, 2014 Mr. Tolbert nominated Colonel Welsh to continue as the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Holt.

City of Dover CITY OF DOVER Planning Office DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY D.A.C. MEETING DATE: August 6, 2014 APPLICATION: Dover Family Cosmetic Dental Office at 1084-1086 South State Street, Dover, DE FILE #: S-14-16 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning Office CONTACT PERSON: Dawn Melson-Williams, AICP PHONE #: (302) 736-7196 PLAN SUMMARY This is a Site Plan to permit construction of a new 2,730 S.F. medical office and associated site improvements for Dover Family Cosmetic Dental. The plan includes a Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plan to consolidate two parcels to form a single 23,214 S.F. parcel. The property is zoned C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone), located on the west side of South State Street between Wyoming Avenue and South DuPont Highway. The property owner is Dover Family Properties, LLC, c/o Venetia N. Dover. Property Address: 1084-1086 South State Street. Tax Parcel(s): ED-05-077.17-07-19.00-000 and ED-05-086.05-02-21.00-000. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property consists of two vacant lots that will be consolidated into one parcel of land. This project will construct a one story building for the proposed use as a dental office. The plan proposes a site entrance/exit onto South State Street. The parking lot is shown on the east and south sides of the proposed building. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE The architecture of the building is presented on annotated building elevation drawings (Schematic Elevations dated 3/6/2014). The one story building has a hipped roof highlighted by a tower element with clerestory windows over the entry. On these drawings, a pitched roof entry vestibule extends from the front façade (east elevation) as the main entry door. The building’s exterior finishes include a stone veneer with cast stone sill to a watertable height, a stone veneer on the entry vestibule, a two color stucco finish for the upper portion of the walls, and fiberglass roof shingles. A series of double hung windows appear on at least two of the elevations. C-2A ZONING DISTRICT The uses and bulk standards of the C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) zoning district were recently amended along with the Site Development Plan procedures. Ordinance #2014-08 (with Staff Amendment #1) was adopted on July 14, 2014 by City Council. This project requires Site Development Plan review by the Planning Commission due to the increase in impervious surface coverage over 5,000 S.F. The proposed use as a dental office would be classified as a type of business/professional office and is permitted. The bulk standards for the C-2A zone are now established in Zoning Ordinance, Article 4 Section 4.14 as follows:

S-14-16 Dover Family Cosmetic Dental Office at 1084-1086 South State Street DAC Report of August 6, 2014 Page 3 of 7 C-2A Minimum required: Lot area Lot width (ft.) Lot depth (ft.) 100 Front yard (ft.) 15 Side yard (ft.) None required, but 5 feet min. if provided. Rear yard (ft.) 20 ft. above ground floor. At ground floor, 5 ft. required. Side or rear yards which adjoin a residential 25 zone (ft.) Off-street parking: Per 300 sq. ft. floor area or 1 Per employee (whichever is greater) 1 Maximum permitted: Building height Stories 6 Feet 75 Floor area ratio 4.0 SITE CONSIDERATIONS PARKING SUMMARY The parking requirement in the C-2A zoning district is one (1) parking space per 300 S.F. of floor area or one space per employee. Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 §3.1 requires that medical offices have at least one (1) parking space per 300 S.F. of floor area. The number of employees was not identified. Based on the floor area of 2,730 S.F. for the total building, a minimum of ten (10) parking spaces are required and limited to a maximum of 13 parking spaces. The plan proposes a total of twenty-three (23) parking spaces; this is over the maximum permitted by Code. The plan must be revised to reduce the parking to thirteen (13) parking spaces. The applicant has the option of seeking a variance of the parking requirement (to allow for more than 13 parking spaces) with an application to the Board of Adjustment. Loading Spaces The requirement for loading spaces for professional, governmental or business offices is based on building square footage. The rate is one loading space for establishments of 10,000 to 25,000 square feet in floor area with an additional loading space per 25,000 square feet of floor area or fraction thereof. The overall building is not large enough to require a designated loading space. Bicycle Parking The site is required to provide bicycle parking. The bicycle parking calculation is one for every twenty parking spaces. Based on the number of required parking spaces at 10, then at least one

S-14-16 Dover Family Cosmetic Dental Office at 1084-1086 South State Street DAC Report of August 6, 2014 Page 4 of 7 (1) bicycle parking space is required. The plan shows bicycle parking rack in the lawn area north of the building main entry. Dumpster For office uses, one Dumpster is required for the first 8,000 S.F. of building area and one for each additional 16,000 S.F. of building area or fraction thereof. For this project with a total building area of 2,730 S.F., the requirement is for one (1) Dumpster. However, as a commercial building provisions must also be made for recycling. The plan locates a new Dumpster (front loading) at the north end of the front parking lot area. The cedar wood enclosure shows gates as the Dumpster is visible from the public right-of-way. The Landscape Plan also shows tree and shrub planting to screen the Dumpster enclosure. Lighting The location of the proposed lighting is shown on the plan as pole light fixtures at the perimeter of the parking lot. There may also be several street lights on the adjacent street. The proposed lighting must be adequate to safely light all parking and pedestrian areas yet must be shielded and directed as to not create a nuisance on the adjacent properties or traffic on adjacent roads. Sidewalk There is existing sidewalk along the street frontage of South State Street in accordance with Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §18. Some sidewalk improvements appear to be providing ADA accessible curb ramps at the new site entrance location. In addition a sidewalk connecting from the street frontage sidewalk into the site is required, but is not currently shown. Waiver Requested: Partial Elimination of Curbing The Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 §3.6(b) requires upright curbing for all parking areas and access drives. The transition from the parking lot to the sidewalks on the building’s east and south sides does not include upright curing. Parking bumpers are currently shown at the head of these parking spaces. A written waiver request for the elimination of upright curbing in these areas was for consideration by the Planning Commission as the elevation change of upright curbing does not exist. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN A Landscape Plan in accordance with Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §16 was prepared. The tree planting requirement is based on the total lot area and one (1) tree is required for every 3,000 SF of land area. This project site consists of a total lot area of 23,214 S.F.; therefore, eight (8) trees are required. The vegetated area along the western property line is not considered woodland on this property as labeled on the plan. The vegetated areas of brush will be cleared on this property. The new trees plantings consist of Eastern Red Cedars to help screen the Dumpster enclosure with Crepe Myrtle trees along South State Street, and White Swamp Oaks in several locations at the perimeter of the parking lot. Additional landscaping with shrubs is proposed between the parking lot and South State Street and adjacent to the front of the building. THE SUBJECT PROPOSAL HAS BEEN REVIEWED FOR CODE COMPLIANCE, PLAN CONFORMITY, AND COMPLETENESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGENCY’S AUTHORITY AND AREA OF EXPERTISE.

S-14-16 Dover Family Cosmetic Dental Office at 1084-1086 South State Street DAC Report of August 6, 2014 Page 5 of 7 CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS: 1) The twenty-three (23) parking spaces shown on the plan exceed the maximum parking limitation set by the Zoning Ordinance based on the parking calculation for this building project. The Plan must be revised to show the maximum of thirteen (13) parking spaces. If the applicant wishes to pursue development of additional parking spaces, then a variance application to the Board of Adjustment is required. Contact Planning Staff for information on the variance application process; a pre-application meeting has been conducted to file the Board of Adjustment application. (Note: This Site Plan application can continue with the Planning Commission review, as the elimination of the excess parking does not significantly impact the site design.) 2) A separate Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plan (Record Plan) sheet must be prepared to document the parcel consolidation of the two lots. The Record Plan will be required to be recorded in order to combine the properties. 3) The Site Plan must be updated with changes recommended or approvals including any waivers granted by the Planning Commission. 4) The Site Data Column will need to be updated prior to Final Approval with the following: a) Update the bulk standards for C-2A per the recent amendments. b) Provide Floor Area Ratio for project site. c) Add status of the property in regards to presence of flood hazard areas (100 year flood plain). d) List any conditions, recommendations or approvals including information on the action taken on any waivers granted by the Planning Commission. e) Complete Project Notes #16. f) Project Notes #18: Update Public Works contact number to 736-7025. Update other instances in the plan set. 5) Update all bulk standards information (i.e. setbacks) shown on all plan sheets. 6) Clarify building footprint on site versus the building elevation drawings. The building appears to have an enclosed vestibule not shown on the Site Plan. Also egress doors will need to have sidewalks leading from them. 7) Add a sidewalk connection from the street frontage sidewalk to lead into the site. 8) Sheet 3: Check notes. One set appears to be repeated. 9) Sheets 9 and 11: Check details of the dumpster enclosure. One detail shows masonry wall. 10) Provide documentation of the recordation/establishment of the easements related to utility services (sewer line connection crosses other properties to serve this site).

S-14-16 Dover Family Cosmetic Dental Office at 1084-1086 South State Street DAC Report of August 6, 2014 Page 6 of 7 11) Landscape Plan: a) Correct the Tree Density Notes (Data Column) for the City of Dover regulations. The density is one tree /3000 S.F. resulting in a requirement of 8 trees. There is not a parking lot/road buffer requirement. 12) Barrier free access ramps shall be installed at the access from the accessible parking spaces and at all points where sidewalks intersect with roadways and parking areas. a) Clarify the sidewalk and ramp system along the front of the building at the entry from the parking lot pavement surface. b) Clarify the transition at south end of building sidewalk to the parking lot. 13) Clarify transition from parking lot to building sidewalk. Upright curbing shall be provided in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance unless a waiver is granted by the Planning Commission. A written waiver request was submitted for Planning Commission consideration regarding the elimination of upright curbing in certain areas of the parking lot. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET CODE OBJECTIVES: 1) Waiver Requests: The following is the Staff recommendation regarding the waiver requests. a. Partial Elimination of Curbing: Staff recommends approval of the request to eliminate the curbing for the parking lot perimeter in the areas adjacent to the building (east and south elevations) in order to facilitate the stormwater management practices for the site (sheet flow to underground system). The installation of parking bumpers is recommended at the head of these parking spaces. 2) Staff recommends that any outside HVAC Equipment be designed to minimize the impact on adjacent property owners, adequately screened from public view and the overall visible impact. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1) The Planning Commission should act upon any waiver requests for the project as part of any motion to approve this project, or as a separate motion if necessary. Note: All waivers are at the discretion of the Planning Commission. The Commission may approve or deny waiver requests. 2) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory Committee may provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code requirements. 3) Following Planning Commission approval of the Site Plan, the Plan must be revised to meet all conditions of approval from the Development Advisory Committee or as otherwise noted. A Check Print must be submitted for review by Planning Office Staff and directly to other agencies. Upon determination that the Plan is complete and all agency approvals have been received, copies of the Plan may be submitted for final

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. City of Dover Planning Commission 8/18/2014 Project Review S-14-16 Dover Family Cosmetic Dentistry at 1084-1086 South State Street This proposal is to legally construct a medical office building at the subject site for a family dentist practice. The site is on DART transit route 105 with a bus stop on South State Street at the southeast corner of the property. There are sidewalks existing along the frontage of the site. There are sidewalks on the site plan at the proposed building and the parking facilities. There are no sidewalks indicated connecting the frontage to the front entrance of the building. It is unacceptable to require pedestrians to use an entrance drive to walk to the interior of the site. The MPO recommends the City’s require a sidewalk for pedestrians connecting the street frontage with the building entrance. As stated above, there should be bicycle facilities on the site as well. 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.

It is proposed to eliminate curb along the perimeter of the parking area on the south and east faces of the building. The remaining perimeter of the parking area will be curbed. Parking bumpers will be installed for all non-curbed parking spaces along the south and east sides of the proposed building. It’s desirable to have the stormwater runoff be conveyed via sheet flow to the underground stormwater system. For these reasons, please grant a waiver from the installation of curbing along the perimeter of the parking lot on the south and east faces of the building. Please feel free to give me a call with any questions. I can be reached at 302- 672-0610 x4567 or by email at tadams@mountainconsultinginc.com. Thank you for your cooperation.

City of Dover CITY OF DOVER Planning Office DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY D.A.C. MEETING DATE: August 6, 2014 APPLICATION: Office at 970 North State Street, Dover, DE FILE #: S-14-17 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning Office CONTACT PERSON: Bill Cook, Planner PHONE #: 302.736.7196 PLAN SUMMARY This is a Site Plan to permit the conversion of an existing 2,199 S.F. +/- residential structure to office use and associated site improvements on an 18,047 S.F. +/- parcel. The property is zoned C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone), located at the southwest corner of North State Street and Hiawatha Drive. The owner of record is Debra A. Brown and Raymond E. Brown, to be conveyed to John P. Kelly, III. Property Address: 970 North State Street. Tax Parcel: ED-05-067.12-01- 05.00-000. Comments in this Report are in reference to Revised Plan sheets dated July 30, 2014. PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will convert the 2 story frame & brick veneer house to office use, add parking and other site improvements, and relocate the property entrance. Interior renovations are planned to bring the structure into code compliance for use as offices. The existing pool and concrete decking will be demolished, and a new paved parking area will replace gravel currently found on the site. The existing site entrance to the property directly at the corner of Hiawatha Lane and North State Street will be located farther west on Hiawatha Lane. SITE CONSIDERATIONS A portion of the property lies within the Flood Hazard Zone (100-year floodplain). No structures are found or proposed within this area. Parking The applicant proposes a total of 8 parking spaces, including 1 designated ADA accessible space. Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance amendments (Ordinance No. 2014-08) adopted July 14, 2014 off-street parking is not required in the C-1A zoning district. The applicant submitted Site Plans and a Request for Elimination of Required Parking Waiver prior to the passage of the amendments; however, the parking reduction waiver is no longer necessary. Bicycle Parking The Zoning Ordinance calculates required bicycle parking facilities in Article 6 §3.10, based on required parking for automobiles. The elimination of required parking thereby eliminates a requirement for bicycle parking. Article 10 §2.2 states that among many objectives for evaluating Site Plan criteria, the Planning Commission shall consider the safety and convenience

S-14-17 Office at 970 North State Street DAC Report of August 6, 2014 Page 3 of 6 of a variety of transportation modes, and that Site Plans should include the provision of off-street parking to obviate the need for parking in public streets. Dumpster For office and retail uses of less than 50,000 S.F., one dumpster pad is required for the first 8,000 S.F. of gross floor area. For this project with a total building area of 2,199 S.F. the requirement is for one dumpster. The Department of Public Works has provided comments requiring that trash collection be provided by a private entity. An enclosure is required when the Dumpsters are visible from the public right-of-way or from an adjacent property. A designated area on the site for trash collection, and details of the enclosure are shown on Sheet CC02. Lighting The proposed and existing Site Plan shows the location of street lights, which are found outside the perimeter of the property along both rights of way. Due to the proximity of onsite parking, this off-premise lighting may actually light property sufficiently. Sidewalk Sidewalk currently exists along the North State Street frontage, and terminates at the corner of North State Street and Hiawatha Lane. No sidewalk currently exists adjacent to the property along Hiawatha Lane. Sidewalks are required along both street frontages in accordance with Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §18. The adjacent vacant property on Hiawatha Lane does not have a sidewalk, but the occupied property further west does. This project proposes the installation of sidewalk along Hiawatha Lane to satisfy the sidewalk requirement. Numerous utility fixtures are found in the path of the proposed sidewalk along Hiawatha Lane. The Department of Public Works has provided comments to the applicant, and is working with the applicant regarding sidewalk layout to allow flexibility in fulfilling the sidewalk requirement on the site. Curbing The Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 §3.6(b) requires upright curbing for all parking areas and access drives. Waiver Request: Waiver of Upright Curbing Requirement The applicant has submitted a request for a waiver of the upright curbing requirement. The proposed Site Plan shows parking bumpers for each proposed parking space in lieu of upright curbing. Signage Any signage must be approved through a separate sign approval and permitting process.

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. City of Dover Planning Commission 8/18/2014 Project Review S-14-17 Office at 970 North State Street This proposal is to legally convert a residential structure to office use that does have the potential to serve clients on the premises. The site is in close proximity to a transit stop for DART Route 109 and regional Route 120 goes past on the way top or from Smyrna. There are sidewalks along State Street but no sidewalks to proceed down Hiawatha. There are sidewalks on the opposite side of Hiawatha Lane and in front of the business immediately adjacent to the west, Appel Wilson & Vaughn.

The following excerpt from the minutes of that meeting summarizes the comments provided by the Silver Lake Commission regarding the application: DEVELOPMENT PLANS: 970 NORTH STATE STREET “Mrs. Townshend noted due to the location they do have to come before this commission. Mr. Burcham stated the concept does not provide a problem to him. Mr. Jones noted that we should ask them to do something to keep the parking lot from going right into Silver Lake, some type of mitigation. Mr. Edgell wondered if the gravel parking lot count as impervious surface and are they making it more pervious by paving? Mrs. Townshend responded that gravel it is considered impervious. Kent Conservation District sees it the same way. They are not changing the flow or characteristic flow of water. With brief discussion it was agreed to suggest a bio swale or rain garden to prevent a direct discharge. With a consensus of the members present the motion presented by Mr. Jones to have the applicant investigate a rain garden or bio swale to handle storm water from the roof and parking area passed with a second from Mr. Burcham (Mr. Edgell, Mr. Burcham and Mr. Jones voted in favor of). Mr. Holden and Mrs. Townshend abstained for the vote.”
