Item 1. Investments, LLC 922 Wilson Drive, Ste. 1 Office: (302) 674-1369 Dover, DE 19904 Cell: (302) 241-7423 Deborah L. Fisher, President April 8, 2021 City of Dover Construction and Property Maintenance Code Board of Appeals c/o Mr. Ron Coburn, Code Enforcement Officer 15 Loockerman Plaza Dover, DE 19901 Re: Annual Vacant Building Registration Fee Extension Property address: 209-211 N. Kirkwood St. Dear Sir or Madam: Our company, ECI, is an LLC that has four rental and one vacant property located on Queen, Kirkwood and West Street managed by two Dover, born and raised, sisters, Deborah Fisher and Sharon Mosley. The 209-211 Kirkwood property was purchased with the intent of demolishing and rebuilding a new rental dwelling. This area of the City has seen tremendous growth of newly constructed homes and we want to follow suit; however, we are small fish in the game. We are seeking an extension of the vacant property fee for five years at $750/year to allow time to research and acquire the financing needed to demolish and rebuild. Currently, we are employed full-time (music teacher, budget administrator) with plans to retire in the next two years. After retirement we will devote full-time to this endeavor. All of our rentals are old, require on-going repairs and at some point need to be fully renovated or reconstructed. As a small, minority, women-owned business, we are interested in finding resources available to assist us and would appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, rere 6.)( borah L. Fis. Sharon E. Mosley sident, ECI LLC Vice-President, ECI LLC 8
