HEARING/VIOLATION OF DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - 416 WEST
DIVISION STREET, OWNED BY THE ESTATE OF EVELYN WATSON
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous
Building Ordinance at 416 West Division Street, owned by the Estate of Evelyn Watson.
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, explained that the
property was a two (2) story, wood-framed, single family home. The house had been vacant since
August 2010 and was boarded by City crews in December 2010. Boards had been removed in the
past and windows had been broken. The property had been re-secured by City staff. There were
numerous code violations existing on the property.
Page 6
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 3
Mrs. Townshend reviewed a presentation depicting the condition of the structure (Exhibit #1).
Staff recommended that City Council take the following action for property located at 416 West
Division Street: 1) Declare this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous.
2) Order the property repaired or demolished by March 25, 2013 by the owner or equity owner at
their own risk. 3) Order the Building Inspector to cause the repair or demolition of the structures if
not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council. 4) Order the City
Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of repairs or demolition to be
charged against the land on which the building exists as a municipal lien or cause such cost to be
added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a
suit at law against the owner.
Council President Leary declared the public hearing open and, there being no one present wishing
to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Hutchison moved that the structure located at 416 West Division Street be declared a
dangerous building and ordered that the property be demolished or repaired by
March 25, 2013 in accordance with the process recommended by staff. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
PRESENTATION - FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT
Former Fire Chief Jack Fortney reviewed the 2012 Fire Department Annual Report. He noted that
the two (2) busiest months were April, with 98 incidents, and October, with 94 incidents. The
slowest months were January and September, with 72 incidents each month. Chief Fortney stated
that the Department averages two (2) runs per day.
In response to Mr. Hutchison, Chief Fortney stated that most of the calls that the Department
responds to are false alarms. Mr. Anderson noted that 1,670 man hours were spent for fires and
1,640 man hours were spent on false alarms. Chief Fortney responded that the Fire Department and
the Fire Marshal’s Office were doing what they could to deter false alarms.
Members relayed their appreciation for the Fire Department’s service to the City.
Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Fire Department Annual Report, seconded by
Mr. Hutchison and unanimously carried.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 4
Review of Revised Active Recreation Plan - Clearview Meadow
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed detailed
information regarding a revised Active Recreation Plan for Clearview Meadow. She noted that
Clearview Meadow is a Planned Neighborhood Development (PND), consisting of 88.2524+/- acres,
located north of South Little Creek Road, south of North Little Creek Road, and east of Babb Drive.
She stated that a 6.8429 acre Active Recreation Area was initially shown, including a walking path
system, play structure, swings, tennis court, picnic tables, and benches. This active recreational
component was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission on July 27, 2004. A Revised
Recreation Plan #1 was reviewed by the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee
on November 9, 2004 and received Planning Commission approval on December 20, 2004. She
noted that the Revised Recreation Plan #1 involved the elimination of the tennis court and the
addition of a swimming pool and bath house facility with an associated parking lot. The playground
equipment was also relocated in this redesign.
Mrs. Townshend advised members that the Concept Plan for Clearview Meadow PND received
Planning Commission approval on April 19, 2004 and the Preliminary Subdivision Plan received
conditional approval from the Planning Commission on September 20, 2004. The Record Plan for
the Subdivision was recorded on September 30, 2005 and the Final Construction Plans were
approved January 19, 2006. The development, as approved, consists of the following: 167 single
family detached homes, 48 duplexes, and 88 townhouses for a total of 303 dwelling units. The initial
phases of construction and home building focused on the southern portion of the subdivision along
the streets of Mer Way, Lady Bug Drive, and Nob Hill Road. Access into the subdivision is
provided by John Hunn Brown Boulevard and Babb Drive. Currently, there are 26 duplex units, 35
townhouse units, and two (2) single-family detached units complete (63 units complete); two (2)
duplex units under construction; and one (1) single-family detached home in permit review.
Mrs. Townshend explained that, due to the economy, progress on this development ceased; however,
it has recently been purchased by a new developer, Shirliz LLC c/o Knollwood Development
Corporation, who has submitted the Revised Active Recreation Plan #2.
Mrs. Townshend indicated that the applicant has proposed several revisions to the Active Recreation
Area of the subdivision, which includes 6.5624 acres of land to be reserved as Active Recreation
Area, creating a park area centrally located in the subdivision. The revision proposes the elimination
of the swimming pool and bathhouse building, relocation of the gazebo, and the addition of a
community building with parking lot; a play area that contains a swing set and a play structure and
series of benches and picnic tables remain throughout the site. She stated that the amenities are
connected by a walking path system that is five (5) feet in width and constructed of bituminous
asphalt and a large lawn area is central to the recreation area.
With regard to the community building, Mrs. Townshend stated that the architecture and floor plan
submitted indicate a one (1) story building with a front entry porch. The exterior finish materials
appear to be a horizontal siding, a shake style shingle in the gables, and a gable roof. The interior
includes an exercise room, a small meeting (card/game) room, and a large meeting room, along with
restroom facilities, storage, and a small kitchen. The plan also depicts a 15-space parking lot to be
Page 8
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 5
located in front of the building. She reviewed information from the submitted Plan (last updated
January 22, 2013) for the Revised Active Recreation Area #2 to be constructed, as follows:
Required Provided on Plan
Active Recreation Area 275 S.F. per dwelling unit or Community building, gazebo,

residential lots and 25 feet from Gazebo locations are in
right-of-way for street compliance with the setbacks as
required.
Landscaping The Revised Active Recreation
Plan #2 shows trees and
landscaping around the site.
Staff submitted the following comments and recommendations regarding the Active Recreation Area
to be constructed:
1) The proposed plan meets the area requirements for the Active Recreation Area.
The plan is required to provide 1.925 acres of Active Recreation Area and it is
proposing 6.5624 acres of Active Recreation Area.
Page 9
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 6
2) Staff recommends approval of the Community Building, Gazebo, the swing set
and the playground area, walking path, and site furnishings with comments and
conditions provided below.
3) The following items should be included on the Plan to clarify the construction of
the recreation area improvements:
a) Provide lighting around the Active Recreation Areas.
b) Lawn areas shall be appropriate planted (seeded or sodded) a maintained for
active recreation activities.
c) Clarify the total square footage of the Community Building.
d) Provide bike racks near the Community Building.
e) Identify utility service connections to the Community Building.
f) Identify the phasing for the construction of the Active Recreation Area with
relation to the building construction phasing to ensure that the development
of the Active Recreation amenities keeps pace with the building construction.
4) The Community Building must include an accessible entrance route for entry into
the building. Currently, the front porch is elevated several steps with no ramp
system depicted.
5) Ensure barrier free access is provided at all intersections of drive lanes and
sidewalks including the entrance to the parking lot for active recreation area.
6) Ensure that tree planting locations do not conflict with utility lines or locations.
7) The community building must comply with the building and fire code
requirements.
8) The applicant is reminded of the requirements for construction phasing of the
recreation area as associated with the development of the residential units. The
17,325 S.F. of recreation area for the residential units constructed to date (275
S.F. x 63 dwelling units) is being met by several open lawn areas in the vicinity
of John Hunn Brown Boulevard.
(a) Article 5 §10.6 Construction Phasing. The recreation and open space
areas shall be completed in a proportion equal to or greater than the
proportion of residential dwelling units completed, except that one
hundred (100) percent of the recreation and open space areas shall be
completed prior to issuing building permits for the final twenty (20)
percent of the dwelling units proposed. Building permits shall not be
issued for dwelling units unless the requirements of this section are met.
9) There shall be provisions which ensure that the common open space land
(including active recreation area) shall continue as such and be properly managed
and maintained.
Page 10
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 7
10) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Plan occur in the finalization
of the Revised Recreation Plan and associated Minor Subdivision Plan contact
the Department of Planning and Inspections. Examples include reorientation of
elements, relocation of site components, etc. These changes may require
resubmittal for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning
Commission, or other agencies and commissions making recommendations in
regards to the plan.
11) The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any ground disturbing
activities on the site the appropriate site inspections and permits are required. The
applicant shall be aware that Recreation Plan approval does not represent a
Building Permit and associated construction activity permits. A separate
application process is required for issuance of a Building Permit from the City of
Dover.
12) Construction may have an effect on the adjacent property owners and nearby
travel lanes. Any work requiring the closing or rerouting of traffic should be
coordinated as to offer the least amount of inconvenience.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the Revised Active Recreation Area Plan #2 for
Clearview Meadow, as presented and with the inclusion of staff’s comments and recommendations.
During the City Council meeting, Mrs. Townshend advised members that the developer proposed
to amend the Active Recreation Area Plan by replacing the previously proposed pool with a
community center. She noted that staff was supportive of the amendment. Mrs. Townshend
indicated that some of the residents had since expressed concern with the elimination of the proposed
pool. Those residents had been advised to attend the Planning Commission meeting to express their
concerns.
Responding to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Townshend clarified that the Committee’s recommendation for
approval was based on the plan meeting all of the City’s Code requirements and was not necessarily
an endorsement. She noted that the residents of Clearview Meadow would have an opportunity to
express their concerns at the Planning Commission meeting prior to final action on the plan and that
public notice would be provided.
Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Dixon
and unanimously carried.
Overview of Recreation Fees and Proposal for Open Gym Fees for Non-Residents of Dover
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, introduced
Mr. Wayne Voshell, Manager of the John W. Pitts Recreation Center. She advised members that
the City of Dover’s Recreation Division offers a variety of programs that are supported by fees,
including participation fees for recreation programs, fitness classes, and sports leagues; field rental
fees for use of multipurpose and softball fields and park pavilions; and rental fees for use of the Pitts
Center Gym and multi-purpose room. She explained that fees for program participation are set based
on the program and are advertised in the program guide. Members reviewed the Recreation
Department Fields, Parks & Pavilion Rental Rates.
Page 11
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 8
Mrs. Townshend advised members that, in evaluating the fee structure to improve cost recovery
associated with recreation programming, staff developed a proposal to charge fees to non-residents
of Dover for participation in Open Gym. Based on data regarding non-resident participants in Open
Gym, staff estimated that the new fee would generate approximately $5,000 annually. This would
account for an increase in the Recreation Division’s revenue of approximately four (4) percent (4%).
Mrs. Townshend stated that since the Recreation Division is a General Fund Department, which is
supported by tax revenue, a modest fee for non-residents to participate in Open Gym was an issue
of equity. She assured members that the purpose of the proposed fees was for cost recovery and not
to make a profit.
Mrs. Townshend stated that demographic information from users (obtained from Open Gym card
applications) indicated that non-resident users are from Camden, Clayton, Felton, Magnolia, Milford,
and Smyrna and the majority reside in more affluent developments such as Cardinal Hills, Old Mill
Acres, St. Jones Commons, etc. She noted that there are some users from General’s Green, Capital
Park, and Rodney Village, which are considered low-income areas. She assured members that staff
was sensitive to the economic issue and did not want to adversely impact a community that needs
recreation and may be unable to afford such a fee.
Staff recommended approval of the Open Gym Fees, as proposed.
Mr. Voshell advised members that he had not discovered another similar facility in the State of
Delaware that provides an Open Gym Program like the City of Dover’s or that offers the number of
hours available for the gym. He stated that all such facilities are fee based, including the Boys and
Girls Club.
In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend reminded members that the contribution provided
by Kent County was granted as a capital investment for the facility. Noting that County residents
are able to participate in the City leagues, classes, or any other program held at the Pitts Center for
the same fees as City residents, she felt that the County was provided a value for their investment.
Noting that senior citizens would be exempted, Mr. Anderson suggested that individuals who are
Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) recipients, who wish to disclose such information, also be
provided an exemption.
Mrs. Townshend referred to the City’s Super Summer Playground Program that has been offered for
several years at a minimal fee of $150 for the six (6) weeks of camp. In reviewing the costs versus
the revenue for the program, she stated that the City has been realizing a $12,000 deficit. Of the 40
participants, she stated that 22 were out of City and all participants were from suburban, middle-class
families. She noted that the program had been restructured to run the entire time school is closed
during the summer. In order to break even, she stated that the fee must be $75-$80 per week;
therefore, the fee has been set for $80 per week, with a discounted rate of $75 for siblings. If a
participant is registered for more than one (1) week, the fee after the first $80 would be $75. In
addition, extended hours will be offered at an additional charge for those parents who rely on day
camp programs to provide their child care. Mrs. Townshend stated that the increase in fees will
allow the City to cover the costs, explaining her feeling that the City should not be subsidizing child
care for middle-class families who do not live in the City.
Page 12
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 9
Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Townshend stated that staff did not perform a comparison with the
YMCA since their programs are based on memberships; however, she stated that the City’s Summer
Camp was half the cost (with the increase) of the program offered by Delaware Technical and
Community College.
The Committee recommended approval of staff’s proposal for Open Gym fees for non-residents of
Dover, with the stipulation that staff establishes a scholarship for people who are eligible for
Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) for use of the Open Gym period.
During the City Council meeting, Mrs. Townshend reviewed the Overview of Recreation Fees and
Proposal for Open Gym Fees for Non-Residents of Dover. She noted that the open gym participants
who are not residents of the City are mainly residents of Camden, Clayton, Felton, Magnolia,
Wyoming, Smyrna, Wilmington, Frederica, and the Winding Ridge, Cardinal Hills, Derbywood,
Rodney Village, Capital Park, and Generals Green developments. Mrs. Townshend pointed out that
these areas represent a broad economic spectrum of users. She reminded members that the
Committee had recommended waiving the fee for participants who are eligible for Electronic Benefit
Transfer (EBT).
Mrs. Townshend reviewed Recreation Trends for Fiscal Years 2012-2013, which was updated with
current numbers (Exhibit #2). She noted that recreation revenues dropped almost 27% between
2008 and 2012 and the expenses were increasing. Mrs. Townshend noted that the 2012 figures
included the retirement payout to the previous director and 2013 reflected a decreased expenditure
due to the unfilled position. She stated that her goal was to find ways of covering the cost of the
programs.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Townshend stated that she did not think that the development
of the Kent County Sports Complex would have a significant impact on revenue since it will cater
to regional tournament sports. Currently, there is more demand for City field space for soccer and
lacrosse groups than can be accommodated.
Mrs. Townshend stated that she is new to the department and could not determine the reason for the
fluctuation in revenue over the years.
Mr. Lynn expressed concern with charging what he believed to be the most vulnerable citizens - the
elderly and the youth of Capital Park, Generals Green, and Rodney Village - for use of the open gym.
He felt that involvement with athletics was a positive activity which would keep the youth out of
trouble and that $5,000 in revenue would not offset the benefits that would be eliminated. Mr. Lynn
felt that the stigma associated with EBT would prohibit many from disclosing their status for
exemption from the fee. He also noted that there were many working poor families who were not
eligible for those benefits but did not have the disposable income to pay for the use of the Pitts
Center. Noting that Kent County helped pay for the Center, Mr. Lynn felt it was inequitable to deny
County residents the opportunity to use the facility. Mrs. Townshend stated that senior citizens
would be exempt regardless of their residency.
Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hare.
Page 13
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 10
Mr. Anderson noted that program fees had not increased in many years and many of the participants
do not pay City taxes.
Mr. Hare suggested that the County’s initial contribution may have exhausted itself by now and they
may be willing to make an additional donation to help cover operating expenses. At that time, the
fee for non-residents could be reconsidered.
Mrs. Townshend compared this fee with the fee that the City previously charged non-residents for
use of the Library. Eventually, a reciprocal borrowing agreement was developed for Library patrons.
Responding to Mr. Lynn, Chief Hosfelt stated that he did not have the data to support a relationship
between imposing a fee and an increase in youth-related crime.
The motion to approve staff's proposal for Open Gym fees for non-residents of Dover, with
the stipulation that staff establishes a scholarship for people who are eligible for Electronic
Benefit Transfer (EBT) for use of the Open Gym period, was carried by a roll call vote of six
(6) yes (Mr. Perza, Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hare, Mr. Hutchison, and Mr. Leary) and
three (3) no (Mr. Anderson, Mr. Dixon, and Mr. Lynn).
Planning for Affordable Housing and Homelessness
Referring to the need for affordable housing and the need to address homelessness, Mr. Anderson
relayed appreciation for the beginning of a State charrette on this issue and to members of City
Council and the Mayor for their efforts in this regard. However, he suggested that as the City of
Dover plans for the future, all citizens should be given consideration. In order to do this, he
suggested that there must be an understanding of what occurs on a daily basis in the City.
Mr. Anderson noted that although the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing had no representative
present to address members, he invited others, as follows: Ms. Manivanh Johnson, President of
Open Doors Ministry (6284 West Denneys Road); Mr. Mike Rowe, Program Director for the
Veterans Outreach Program at People’s Place in Milford (1129 Airport Road, Milford); and
Ms. Vickie Bryant, Support Services for Veterans’ Families at People’s Place in Milford.
Ms. Johnson explained the issues involving homelessness and needy families in the City of Dover
and surrounding communities and advised members that she spends a great deal of time with the
homeless. She advised members that during the past year, Open Doors Ministry distributed over 400
backpacks filled with essentials to the homeless and needy families, as well as approximately 50
sleeping bags during the past winter. She advised members that Open Doors Ministry also provides
clothing, bus tickets, food vouchers, utility bill assistance, etc. She requested the City’s assistance
in relaying these needs to the community.
Concurring with Mr. Bonar, Mr. Rowe stated that although the agency is out of Milford, it covers
both Kent and Sussex Counties and noted that there is a shelter on College Road in Dover. He
explained that one of the big problems with the homeless is that they do not know where to go for
assistance, although there are resources available. He suggested that the City of Dover hold a
networking event attended by the various agencies. This could be accomplished at no cost to the
Page 14
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 11
taxpayers, since sponsors would be obtained by his and other similar agencies and could be held at
a place such as the Modern Maturity Center. The doors would be opened to the homeless so that
they could receive direction for assistance, and this would also allow the agencies to network
together in an attempt to better serve the homeless.
Mr. Rowe advised members that People’s Place also assists individuals with utility bills, rent,
security deposits, etc. It also offers a new program that will assist veterans and their families by
offering temporary financial assistance to keep them from losing their rental homes, provide security
deposits, or assist with utility bills.
Mr. Rowe explained that many of the homeless are accustomed to living on the streets and, when
provided assistance, will return to being homeless by choice. However, he shared success stories
where assistance was provided and within a few months, these individuals obtained housing on their
own.
Mr. Bonar noted that although there is a directory of the various social services and community
action agencies in existence, it does not provide financial criteria, updated telephone numbers, etc.
He suggested that there be a concerted effort among State, County, and local governments and utility
companies to compile this information to be provided to each governmental agency and service
provider. This would provide a means of providing individual direction to those who meet various
criteria. Mr. Bonar felt that it would behoove service providers to put together an organization to
assist in developing a directory with the information to be made available to all those who wish to
render such services.
Concurring with Mr. Bonar, Ms. Bryant indicated that she had been in contact with veterans who
were very disgruntled. She stated that, along with assistance, there must be some type of sustainable
income so that if a program is able to help, there would not be a need for such help month after
month. She explained that there are not adequate funds or resources to help everyone on a daily
basis. Ms. Bryant advised members that it is difficult to know where to refer unemployed veterans
for assistance.
Mr. Anderson relayed appreciation for the work done by the individuals who addressed members and
their organizations. Noting that the State paid $2M for hotels to house homeless families,
Mr. Anderson inquired about the demographics of the homeless and whether it is easier or more
difficult to find resources to help men, women, or families, etc.
Responding, Ms. Johnson stated that the majority of those she comes in contact with are individuals
and that they seem to be the hardest to provide assistance for. Mr. Rowe stated that his agency’s
demographics fall in line with the national average in Delaware. Although veterans are less than
10% of the nation’s population, he noted that 30% of all homeless people are veterans, 45% of whom
are Vietnam veterans. Of this 45%, he stated that 10% are women. Since there are many more
service women today than in previous years, he felt that statistics for female homeless veterans
would increase in the future.
Page 15
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 12
Mr. Anderson noted that Mr. Herb Konowitz, Interfaith Mission for Housing (who was unable to
attend the meeting) had requested that he advise members regarding a problem with individuals who
are being discharged from institutions such as hospitals, behavioral centers, and prisons to
“nowhere,” with no transitional assistance provided.
There was no action taken by the Committee on this matter.
Semi-Annual Review - Statistics Regarding Jobs and Businesses Gained and Lost in the City
of Dover Since July 2012
Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Director, reviewed the semi-annual report of
employment statistics on the 14 largest employers in the Dover area and reminded members that this
information is updated and presented to members on a semi-annual basis. The report provided
statistics regarding jobs and businesses gained and lost in the City of Dover since July 2012.
Prefacing his comments, Mr. Neaton noted that there was a very positive feeling among those who
attended the unveiling of the Kent County Profile a few weeks ago. He stated that over $1 billion
in construction projects are occurring in Kent County and around the City of Dover. He felt
confident that the statistics provided in the report were an indication of this positive movement.
Mr. Bonar advised members that in the next six (6) weeks, approximately 300 jobs would start up
within the City limits as a result of the efforts of Mr. Neaton. Responding, Mr. Neaton stated that
a meeting was scheduled for next Tuesday (February 19th) with the contractor for this $3-$4M
project. The primary purpose of the meeting would be to emphasize the importance of keeping as
many jobs local as possible.
Referring to the decrease in permanent employees for the Hotel and Casino at Dover Downs,
Mr. Neaton stated that several surrounding states had approved legalized gambling, which was
impacting Dover Downs and was reflected in the decrease in these employees. However, he noted
that with the expansion of Kool-Aid operations, there would be 29 additional jobs at Kraft Foods.
Also, he reminded members that ILC would be expanding, although Dover was not selected for the
new location. He explained that ILC was able to purchase a facility in Sussex County for
approximately half the cost of locating in Dover.
Mr. Bonar noted that several large commercial buildings remain vacant in the City of Dover. He
suggested that the landlords reduce rental fees to attract businesses to Dover. He indicated that if
Council action were necessary, such as a reduction in a tax rate, he would support those efforts.
Mr. Anderson stated that several businesses that recently opened in the downtown area remain in
business. He suggested that staff develop an informational brochure explaining the services
provided. He also suggested that when a business license is obtained, staff request contact
information from the new business to forward to the Economic Development Office.
Mr. Neaton advised members that when a new business begins, the Economic Development Office
makes sure that there is a viable business plan and the resources to start up. He felt that this has
helped in the success of businesses.
Page 16
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 13
Mr. Neaton informed members that he attends the “Kent is Open For Business” meeting held on the
first Thursday morning of every month, which he felt was a great resource for any new business. He
stated that at one time there were nine (9) individuals attending who were planning to start new
businesses; however, recently the number of attendees had declined. The participants at the last
meeting decided to make changes in order to attract more participants, such as increasing marketing,
providing a guest speaker every month, etc. He assured members that efforts have been made to
provide more resources for smaller businesses to become more successful.
Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Neaton stated that although he does not attend the Statewide Chamber
of Commerce meetings, he does attend the Delawareans for Environmental and Economic
Development (DEED) meetings, Committee of 100 meetings, etc., and that he just met with the new
Economic Development Director from the City of Wilmington. Referring to the Committee of 100
Meetings, he stated that Dover will be hosting the next meeting.
Committee action was not required on this matter.
Update - CDBG Program
Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Planner I, reviewed the Status of FY-12 Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Projects - February 2013. She advised members that Habitat for Humanity is presently
under contract for a Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) property, with the closing scheduled
for Friday, February 15th.
Public Comments on Recreation Issues
Mr. Anderson explained that he had requested public comments on recreation issues to consider
youth programs and other ideas for the future of youth and other community programs.
Dr. Kim Warfield, 1403 Windmill Drive, advised members that she is the founder and CEO of the
Delaware Minority Outreach. She explained that, as a retired New York City police detective, she
had witnessed many young women and men get into criminal activity. She stated that the Outreach
serves low-income communities and that the parents in these communities are often in prison, on
welfare, etc. The Outreach was created with the anticipation of stopping criminal activity in the low-
income communities. She explained the various programs provided, one (1) of which is the Cadet
Corps which teaches discipline, how to exercise, how to disarm people with guns in school, how to
eat properly, etc.
Dr. Warfield indicated that the Outreach had partnered with other organizations within the City of
Dover and participates in their programs, such as the Exploring Program with the Boy Scouts. She
noted that the Delaware State Police is very involved in the Exploring Program.
Dr. Warfield explained that youth initially become involved in criminal activity because they have
no place to go and need someone to care about them. She stated that the Outreach is in need of more
space and noted that the Dover Park Recreation building was vacant and that her organization would
like to utilize the facility, since it has a football field, basketball court, etc.
Page 17
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 14
Mr. Bonar reminded members that there were issues with the building and that it was currently being
reviewed to determine what renovations might be necessary. Once this information is provided and
the cost for the renovations is known, he stated that the City would be in a position to issue a
Request for Proposals (RFP) so that bids for the facility could be submitted.
Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement
Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.
UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - FEBRUARY 11, 2013
The Utility Committee met on February 11, 2013 with Chairman Bonar presiding.
Request for Alley Abandonment (Paper) - 235 (Case), 239 (McCabe-Cort), and 243 (Marami
Partners) Bayard Avenue
A request was received from Ms. Joan Case for the abandonment of an alley located behind her
property on Bayard Avenue. A letter was subsequently sent to all adjacent property owners to
determine their interest in participating in the abandonment and having a portion of the alley
conveyed to them. Two (2) additional property owners expressed interest in participating. The
names of interested property owners and the addresses of their affected properties are as follows:
1) Ms. Joan Case - 235 Bayard Avenue; 2) Ms. Claudia McCabe-Cort - 239 Bayard Avenue; and
3) Marami Partners - 243 Bayard Avenue. Members reviewed a map of the area and a list of
adjacent property owners.
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, assured members that staff has confirmed that the alley is
unimproved and considered to be a “paper” alley. He noted that electric utility infrastructure and
storm drainage infrastructure are located within the alley; therefore, public utility easements will be
required. Since the alley is 14 feet wide, half of the alley or seven (7) feet, would be conveyed to
the requesting parties.
Staff recommended conveyance of seven (7) feet of said alley to only 235, 239 and 243 Bayard
Avenue and in conjunction with the provision of a public utility easement for each parcel.
Conveyance would be in proportions complimentary to the existing lot widths of these parcels.
Should members favor approval of the request, staff recommended: 1) abandonment of the subject
alley with conveyance of seven feet (7’) of said alley to 235, 239 and 243 Bayard Avenue, currently
owned by Ms. Joan Case, Ms. Claudia McCabe-Cort and Marami Partners, respectively, in
conjunction with the provision of a public utility easement for each parcel; and 2) adoption of a
resolution by Council setting a public hearing regarding the proposed abandonment for
March 11, 2013. (City Clerk’s Office Note: In accordance with the City’s Procedure for Alley
Abandonments, a Resolution setting the Public Hearing will be presented to Council for
consideration for adoption.)
Responding to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig explained that the remaining adjacent property owners had
no interest in the additional property and if the City were to abandon the property, these owners
would not maintain the property, which would create problems for the City. Should any of these
property owners desire the property in the future, they would need to submit a request to the City and
the same procedure would be followed.
Page 18
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 15
The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation to abandon the subject alley with
conveyance of seven feet (7') of said alley to 235, 239 and 243 Bayard Avenue, currently owned by
Ms. Joan Case, Ms. Claudia McCabe-Cort and Marami Partners, respectively, in conjunction with
the provision of a public utility easement for each parcel; and for the adoption of a Resolution setting
a public hearing for March 11, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. regarding the proposed abandonment.
By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation. The
motion was seconded by Mrs. Williams and, by a unanimous roll call vote, Resolution
No. 2013-05 was adopted, as follows:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 17
Quarterly Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and
Water/Wastewater) (October, November, and December)
Members were provided a Project Tracking Report, as of December 31, 2012, for the Utility (Electric
and Water/Wastewater) Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP).
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that several projects were underway and noted
that City Council would be considering Engineering Service Agreements as well as the Street
Program. Although departments were working with limited staff, he stated that most projects were
moving forward and assured members that staff was working hard to keep the CIP on track.
TEA/NAES Report (November)
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the TEA/NAES Monthly Report for November 2012 and
reminded members that staff reviews this report with TEA on a monthly basis. The report is
provided to allow for the monitoring of electric sales and revenues received, which will provide a
better understanding of any fluctuations that occur and allow the opportunity to make improvements
if deemed necessary.
Referring to Power Supply costs, Mr. Koenig noted that the City was running below budget on costs,
which had been consistent for several months.
In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Koenig stated that although there was a time when the City bought
hedge energy five (5) years in advance, this had been reduced to a three (3) year horizon. Looking
out three (3) years, he stated that the City was hedged approximately 50%. The portfolio had been
pulled back somewhat on hedge transactions because the City was trying to take advantage of low
market conditions; therefore, the target for the current year was to hedge approximately 80% of the
Power Purchase and buy the remaining 20% in the spot market. He noted that this approach had
worked well under the current operating conditions.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the TEA/NAES Monthly Report for November 2012.
By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
UPDATES
Members were provided the following updates:
Green Energy Funding and Programming
Members reviewed an update on the Green Energy Funding and Programming. Mr. Scott Koenig,
City Manager, advised members that there were still customers on the waiting list for reimbursement
and that the City had reopened the grant applications; however, the City was not receiving a
continuous supply of applications.
Page 21
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 18
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
Systems (MS4) Permit
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that staff
was continuing to work on activities related to the permit and utilizing the intern from Wesley
College to assist with the permit requirements. Within the last week, staff provided businesses
information on how to maintain their stormwater areas, which was well received and has started a
dialogue.
Mrs. Townshend stated that the City’s Annual Report will be submitted to the Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) within the next two (2) weeks. The current
challenge was that there were staff vacancies at DNREC for employees who oversee the National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program.
Solar Park
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, noted that members were provided details of the Electric Revenue
Fund, Electric Supply & Generation - Cost per MWh by supply source for FY 2013 by Month. He
reminded members that this information was being provided in response to Mr. Blakeman’s
questions during a previous meeting regarding the amount the City is receiving and paying in regard
to solar energy. Mr. Koenig referenced the bar chart provided and explained that it depicts the City’s
costs per MWh for the current fiscal year.
Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, explained that the spreadsheet
provided total power supply and generation numbers and combined them to show the net. The chart
showed the cost per MWh by source of supply. She stated that the spreadsheet provided figures for
each source of supply, including the net, as well as the total power supply and plant costs. Referring
to the report, she noted that the total power supply and plant cost was $28,109,056. Of that amount,
$728,272 was for the Sun Park - Energy and $157,894 is for the Sun Park - Renewable Energy
Credits (RECs). She explained that the City was making money on the plant itself, not on the cost
of supply for the Sun Park, but by generating (capacity credits), as well as spot market energy that
was sold when the plant was run. Mrs. Mitchell also noted that the Generation Credit was
$5,662,597 and the Supply was $33,771,653 with all power supply included; however, the PJM
capacity load was $5,640,726, which would be higher if the City did not have the capacity credit in
the amount of $7,158,061. She explained that the difference between the $7,158,061 and $5,640,726
was the margin the City is making on having the plant run.
Mr. Hare questioned if the City was making approximately $2M on the Solar Park. Responding,
Mrs. Mitchell stated that the Solar Park continues to cost more per MWh and was not helping with
the load. As requested by Mr. Hare, Mrs. Mitchell reiterated that the cost of the Solar Park was
reflected in “Dover Sun Park - Energy,” which totaled $728,272 and “Dover Sun Park - REC, which
totaled $157,894.
Mr. Bonar reminded members that the Solar Park was the result of a legislative mandate which
required the City to provide renewable energy credits and renewable energy resources.
In regard to the cost of the Solar Park, Mr. Koenig explained that this would be the amount that is
paid to LS Power less what is collected for the power. At this point, there was no report that netted
these two (2) amounts. Responding, Mr. Hare requested that a simple report be provided to members
detailing this information.

Calpine
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, indicated that the Calpine Project continued to move forward and
that City staff was holding weekly conference calls with principals of the projects. Additional staff
meetings were being conducted to address infrastructure issues. Staff was anticipating the issuance
of a building permit and for earth moving to occur within the next 45-60 days and was working on
milestones to meet the demands of the Calpine Project. To his knowledge, Calpine’s air permit had
been issued and they were continuing to work on obtaining stormwater management and other
administrative approvals necessary for a spring start. He anticipated construction to begin
April 1, 2013.
Mr. Bonar advised members that staff, along with some members of City Council, would be meeting
with those in charge of the construction of the power plant within the next couple of weeks to
ascertain the number of jobs that would be brought to the area due to the construction. He stated that
it had been estimated that 300 jobs would be created. He stated that both Calpine and Kvaerner
Construction had been strongly encouraged to hire locally; however, he noted that some employees
would be coming from Philadelphia and New Jersey to provide technical skills that may not be
available locally.
By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded
by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT -
FEBRUARY 11, 2013
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on February 11, 2013 with Chairman
Lynn presiding.
Purchase of In-Car Computers that Integrate with the Ten Video Systems Purchased
Previously with Office of Highway Safety (OHS) Funds
During their Regular Meeting of January 14, 2013, City Council approved the purchase of ten in-car
video systems with funds granted from the Office of Highway Safety. Police Chief Hosfelt reminded
members that these systems are not stand alone systems in the vehicles and require that an integrated
computer component be installed in the vehicle to function as intended. The computer component
is proprietary and must be purchased from the same sole source vendor, HubData911.
Police Chief Hosfelt explained that there are five (5) mobile computer replacements and associated
vehicle mounts funded in the Police Department’s FY13 computer replacement and vehicle
equipment funding lines. In addition, grant funds are being secured to fund the additional five (5)
mobile computers and associated vehicle mounts, for a total of ten in-car computer and video
systems for the City’s patrol fleet. These ten systems would upgrade and replace ten older systems
in the fleet, which would replace the last of the VHS technology in-car camera systems and update
a few of the older digital camera systems.
Police Chief Hosfelt stated that this matter had previously been considered; however, since some of
the grant funding had been redirected, it was felt that this matter should be reconsidered for approval.
He noted that half of the funding ($32,245) was included in the City’s Budget and the remaining half
would be obtained from State grant funding, for a total amount of $64,490 for the purchase of the
in-car computers.
Page 23
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 20
The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation to purchase ten (10) in-car
computers and associated vehicle mounts necessary for the operation of the in-car video systems.
By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Proposed Ordinance - Staff Substitute #1 for Ordinance #2013-03 - Amending Chapter 22 -
Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XII - Vacant Buildings
During their meeting of January 14, 2013, members considered proposed Ordinance #2013-03
amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XII - Vacant Buildings. After
much discussion, members referred the matter back to staff to allow them to hold a workshop to
develop amendments for consideration and staff was instructed to include residential properties.
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members
that staff met with Mr. Phil McGinnis, Policy Director for the Kent County Association of Realtors,
and, as a result, Staff Substitute #1 for Ordinance #2013-03 was developed. She explained that the
two (2) main differences were reflected in Lines 21-26, which is a change in the definition of a
vacant building, and Line 116, which would extend the exemption to those buildings that are actively
being offered for sale or lease from three (3) to five (5) years.
Staff recommended adoption of Staff Substitute #1 for Ordinance #2013-03.
Responding to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Townshend stated that the definition of an unoccupied
building/property, for the purpose of this section of the Code, would include those properties that
are not occupied in accordance with their intended use. She noted that, should a building have a
change in its use which did not require a zoning amendment, there would still be a requirement for
the City to review its current use.
Mr. Perza suggested that the proposed ordinance include a specific definition for an unoccupied
building.
Mr. Phil McGinnis, 555 E. Loockerman Street, reviewed comments regarding the proposed
amendment.
Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend indicated that the additional amendments presented by
Mr. McGinnis had not been incorporated into the proposed Ordinance; however, she indicated no
objections.
The Committee recommended approval of Staff Substitute #1 for Ordinance #2013-03, stipulating
that it include those changes presented by Mr. McGinnis. (The First Reading of the ordinance will
take place during the latter part of the meeting.)
By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 21
Staff Substitute #1 for Ordinance #2013-04 - Amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building
Regulations, Article X - Rental Dwellings
During their Regular Meeting of January 28, 2013, City Council considered proposed
Ordinance #2013-04 amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X - Rental
Dwellings, without a recommendation by the Committee. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of
Planning and Community Development, had advised members that several concerns were relayed
during the Committee meeting and in a letter from local Realtors. As a result, she met with Deputy
City Solicitor William Pepper, Police Chief James Hosfelt, MCpl. Paul Bernat, and Councilman
Lynn to develop two (2) staff amendments. These amendments were presented to City Council for
their review and consideration, which resulted in additional recommendations by City Council.
After much discussion, it was suggested that all of the amendments proposed during the discussion
be consolidated and presented as a whole. Therefore, City Council referred the matter back to the
Committee for their review and recommendation.
Mrs. Townshend reviewed the proposed amendments, indicating that they would address previously
relayed concerns and incorporate the suggestions made by the Committee as well as City Council.
She explained the dire need for the proposed ordinance, not just for a few bad landlords and/or
neighborhoods, but for the entire City.
In support of the proposed amendments, Police Chief Hosfelt stated that they would provide the
Police Department and City another tool to help evict those individuals who are “bringing down”
the City and noted that each Council District would benefit from such an ordinance. He advised
members that such programs have had great success, citing the Dover Housing Authority and several
other apartment managers, throughout the City. As an example, he stated that there was one (1)
major incident in a Dover Housing Authority residence last year and within 24 hours, there was a
U-Haul outside of the residence. Since then, there have been no major problems, explaining that this
approach sends a clear message to the neighborhood and goes hand in hand with the Downtown
Safety Task Force and the Wells Fargo Grant initiative and would support all issues the City has
been attempting to address and eradicate. Although landlords may not initially like the new
regulations, Chief Hosfelt felt confident that they would realize that the regulations serve as a tool
to help them with problem tenants.
Mr. Lynn advised members that since the Justice of the Peace Court in Delaware has exclusive
jurisdiction over all landlord/tenant actions, Chief Magistrate Alan G. Davis was requested to review
the proposed ordinance amendments and noted that his comments were provided to members. On
behalf of the Committee, he relayed great appreciation to Chief Magistrate Davis for taking his time
to review and comment on this matter. In addition, Mr. Lynn noted the receipt of correspondence
received from Mr. William Hickcox.
Mr. Anderson reiterated his concerns and noted that they were also mentioned by Chief Magistrate
Davis; therefore, he suggested the following amendments: 1) change SA#1 (a)(1) from “Any arrest
for a Felony” to “Any conviction for a Felony”; and 2) change SA#1 (a)(2) from “Three or more
arrests for Class A Misdemeanors within a 12-month period” to “Three or more arrests for Class A
Misdemeanors or above within a 12-month period.” Otherwise, he stated that the City would be in
court fighting the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and everyone else, which he would not
object to as long as the City had a “strong hand.” Mr. Anderson stated that the heart of this
ordinance was absolutely necessary and was not punishing landlords, but rather protecting them
Page 25
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 22
(property values, enhanced ability to safeguard their property and property rights), as well as the
surrounding residents. Rather than viewing the amendments as a punishment to landlords, he stated
that it should be viewed as something that empowers landlords to be a part of keeping the
community safe.
Mr. Hare again relayed his objections with creating requirements for excellent landlords who have
never caused problems in order to address issues created by other landlords. He suggested that only
those landlords who have had violations or issues be made to take the required landlord class. Those
landlords that opt out of taking the class and then have a problem would be required to pay a severe
penalty ($200) and be mandated to then take the class. He stated his understanding of the need for
the requirements but felt that they should specifically be for problematic landlords rather than
penalizing all landlords by requiring them to take the class.
Mr. Rushe explained his concern with the City infringing upon the property rights of both landlord
and tenants. Referring to the letter received from Chief Magistrate Davis, he noted that there were
such laws already in the Delaware Code, although it refers to convictions rather than arrests.
Mr. Bonar advised members that other than the naming of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, this
issue had resulted in the receipt of more phone calls than any other issue in his time serving as a
member of City Council. He referred to an email received from a local property owner who operates
a bed and breakfast and also serves as a Realtor, and read a portion of the email, as follows:: “We
have made a very large investment in this City and want to promote Dover in both of the businesses
but I have to tell my guests where it is safe to walk. Our current tenant is in an apartment and she
tells me she is afraid to go out at night because of the gangs of young men who hang out in the alley
and obvious drug activity that goes on in the neighborhood.” Mr. Bonar stated that this property
owner asked if the City could do something about these concerns. He felt it was Council’s
responsibility to take action and that the proposed ordinance was a step in the right direction.
In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Pepper stated that he had worked with staff (Mrs. Townshend and
Police Chief Hosfelt) as well as Mr. Lynn in the development of the proposed ordinance and
amendments. He noted that the concept was to apply the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) regulations that apply to public housing to all rental housing throughout the
City. He assured members that HUD regulations had been upheld in Delaware and if there is
criminal activity in public housing, the individuals involved can be evicted, noting that there was no
requirement of a conviction. Mr. Pepper felt that the City may be “pushing it” by instituting the
regulations on just an arrest, particularly for those crimes that are less than Class A misdemeanors.
Noting that the purpose was to maintain a quality of life, he suggested the inclusion of a list of
crimes.
Mr. Bonar stated his desire for the City to err more on the side of caution and make sure that
citizenry is not subjected to undue legal expenses when it can be avoided. Responding, Mr. Pepper
noted that the noise ordinance, which requires eviction after a certain threshold, would not be
covered under the Delaware Code referred to by the Chief Magistrate; therefore, he stated that the
City had already gone into “uncharted waters.” However, he stated that he was not aware of how
many cases of eviction there had been under the noise ordinance since the City Solicitor’s Office is
not typically involved. Mr. Bonar questioned if the Police Department or Planning and Community
Development Department would have such records.
Page 26
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 23
Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Townshend stated that the proposed ordinance was compatible
with all federally funded housing.
Mr. Bonar also expressed concern with the City applying guidelines that are relevant to a federally
funded jurisdiction to those of a privately owned rental unit whose occupants do not receive any
subsidy.
Mr. Perza indicated his concurrence with several comments that had been made by Mr. Rushe
regarding future impacts; with Mr. Bonar regarding the state of our neighborhoods and the concerns
of the growth of Dover and desires of our neighborhoods in the future; and with Mr. Pepper,
particularly regarding the notice requirement as it pertains to what is required of a tenant. He
expressed his reservations regarding leaving a vague decision up to the Chief of Police or any City
official, suggesting that offenses and requirements be very specific and include a defined list.
Mr. Joseph E. Bauer, Sr., 135 Old Forge Drive (Hamlet), advised members that he had observed
members discussing their concerns about how the proposed ordinance would affect problem tenants
and landlords. He advised members that these situations affect him and his wife as residents. Upon
retirement in 1995, they moved into their residence and, for the love of the area, they purchased the
property in 1998. He stated that the first couple of years were nice; however, he stated that now,
when the weather is nice, it is necessary for him to observe who is outside in order to avoid a
confrontation. Mr. Bauer stated that it is a regular occurrence for police officers to pay visits to other
residents. He indicated that his property was recently appraised at the same level as when it was
purchased in 1998, and though he acknowledged that the economy had been down, he thought there
would have been some growth since 1998. Having observed other properties in the neighborhood,
he stated that he could plainly see that it was not the same type of neighborhood as it was in 1995.
Although there was concern for those that the proposed ordinance would directly affect, Mr. Bauer
requested that members also consider and understand the deleterious affects these problems have
caused to other residents who live in the City and pay taxes. He relayed his support for the proposed
ordinance and felt that it would help keep his neighborhood at its current level and allow for it to
grow into the type of neighborhood it was when he first moved into the area.
Mr. Steve Wilson, 51 Greenwood Drive, stated his observation that there are no longer middle-class
developments in the City and there is an abundance of apartments being bought by investors who
do not live in Delaware. These investors immediately apply for Section 8 Housing so that they will
not have to fix these buildings up. He noted that there are other agencies that house mental patients,
sex offenders, or legitimate criminals that would otherwise be in mental institutions, halfway houses,
or prisons. He advised members that these landlords are aware of what is occurring with their
tenants but they have no interest in anything but money. Mr. Wilson suggested that the housing
authorities make sure that only those that are entitled to live at a residence are actually living there,
explaining that on several occasions individuals from another area are arrested. He felt that if the
City would take the time to contact the jurisdiction from which the arrested individuals come, their
benefits would be terminated due to non-residency. He felt that more effort should be made to cross
reference so that many of the problems could be eliminated.
Ms. Mary Jane Starkey, 139 Old Forge Drive, advised members that the property next door to her
is a problem for the City. The landlord lives in New Jersey and does nothing for the property unless
the City becomes involved. She indicated that the fence in the back and front of the property is
Page 27
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 24
currently in bad shape. The landlord has had to install three (3) new storm doors recently because
the tenants destroy them. She stated that, as adjacent property owners, they have done everything
possible to have something done with the landlord as well as the tenants. She stated that two (2)
boys who were tenants have both been arrested and convicted for serious crimes involving guns.
Ms. Starkey advised members that one of the boys was responsible for assaulting an individual in
the area and is due to be released soon, and that this is very frightening. She indicated that these
boys have been observed carrying a dog by its ears, using a kitten as a basketball, etc. She stated that
police are constantly being observed swarming the neighborhood. Although she understands the
concerns some members have regarding good landlords, she explained that it was unfair for good
residents to pay for bad residents.
Ms. Ami Sebastian-Hauer, Executive Director of the Dover Housing Authority, advised members
of the Dover Housing Authority’s experience with the “one strike you’re out” policy. In 1996, HUD
authorized all housing authorities to adopt a policy that would allow them to evict
tenants/participants in Section 8 for criminal activity. She stated that the policy addresses criminal
activity, explaining that individuals do not need to be arrested, nor must there be a conviction in
order to evict a tenant. All tenants in public housing and Section 8 are required to follow the
policies. If DHA becomes aware of any violation, they allow for due process, providing seven (7)
days for repair. Management talks to the individual, and if it is discovered that the violation has not
been corrected to their satisfaction, then the tenant is convicted. Ms. Sebastian-Hauer reminded
members of a major shooting that occurred at Manchester Square in 2010. It was discovered that
two (2) of the Dover Housing Authority’s tenants housed two (2) of the shooters and allowed guns
to be brought into the public housing units. These tenants were given 24 hour evictions and left
within that time frame. She reiterated that the Dover Housing Authority is permitted to terminate
Section 8 assistance based on an individual’s participation in criminal and drug related activity and
no arrest or conviction is necessary.
At the request of Mrs. Williams, Ms. Sebastian-Hauer advised members that since the policy went
into effect, the Dover Housing Authority has been proactive and has reviewed the issues as a whole.
Noting that they provide program and services for families, she explained that they began to address
“soft” skills, assure children have after school activities, and improve developments by increasing
lighting and installing security cameras. As a result of these actions, she stated that the housing
stock has improved and that they have been able to decrease their maintenance staff from 15 to
eight (8).
Mr. Phil McGinnis, 555 E. Loockerman Street, stated that he represents the Kent County Association
of Realtors (KCAR) and reviewed comments regarding the proposed amendment.
Mrs. Townshend stated no objections to incorporating the suggestions provided by the KCAR and
felt that they would provide clarification.
The Committee recommended referring Staff Substitute #1 for Ordinance #2013-04 back to staff,
to allow for the inclusion of the changes presented by Mr. McGinnis and to ensure that the concerns
relayed by Chief Magistrate Davis are addressed.
By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Page 28
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 25
Proposed Charter Amendments
Due to time constraints, Chairman Lynn stated that the Proposed Charter Amendments would be
deferred until the next meeting.
By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and
Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous
roll call vote.
EVALUATION OF BIDS - UNIT 3 GENERATOR WORK
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that this project is intended to perform
inspections and repairs to the Unit 3 Generator to be completed during the scheduled upcoming
spring outage on that unit. Included in the inspection will be a full battery of electrical tests on the
generator to determine condition for continued operation. As part of that inspection, typical wear
components such hydrogen seals and insulation bushings will be replaced. No major component
replacements are anticipated.
Proposals were solicited from ten (10) vendors; three (3) did not respond, three (3) declined to bid,
and four (4) provided proposals. The proposals were evaluated using cost, experience, and bid
completeness. The bidder with the highest evaluated score is North American Energy Services
(NAES) Turbine Services. That bidder also provided the lowest bid. Following is a summary of the
evaluation scores and the submittal prices:
Evaluation Score
Contractor (out of a possible 5.00) Price
NAES Turbine Service 4.61 $199,675.00
TurboCare 4.60 $209,920.00
Turbine Pros 3.33 $277,396.00
General Electric 3.01 $447,518.00
The contract price leaves $36,325 (15.4%) of the budget to cover the Plant Operator’s materials and
unknown items. If it is determined that additional funds are needed to complete unforeseen major
repairs, the funding sources will be identified and submitted to City
Staff recommended awarding the contract to the low bidder, North American Energy Services
(NAES) Turbine Services in the Amount of $199,675.
Mr. Bonar moved for approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and
carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Page 29
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 26
EVALUATION OF BIDS - ELECTRIC POLE INSPECTION AND TREATMENT
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, informed members that this is an on-going maintenance program
to treat and preserve wooden electric poles that make up part of the City’s electric infrastructure.
This maintenance program allows the Electric Department to target rotting poles and replace them
prior to jeopardizing the integrity of our electric system. It is a utility standard that all poles be tested
once every ten (10) years. To complete testing of all poles (transmission and distribution) throughout
the City, the testing program will test roughly 20% of all poles every year for the next five (5) years.
The inspection of the poles will determine what type of treatment, if any, is necessary to preserve
the life of the poles. It will also identify poles that are in immediate need of replacement at which
time City crews will replace those poles.
Bids were solicited and advertised according to City Purchasing Policy by the City’s Contract and
Procurement Manager under Bid #13-0021EL. Bids were sent directly to three (3) pole testing
companies. Only one bid was received and reviewed by staff.
Responding to Mr. Perza, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that Osmose Utilities Services,
Inc., was prepared to spend up to $55,000 to test 20% of the poles. He noted that the amount of
$31,801 provided was an estimate for 1,000 poles.
Mr. Perza noted that it cost $134,000 to bury one (1) mile of cable versus $21,000 to extend one (1)
mile of cable overhead and that 60% of the electric lines were now underground. Mr. Koenig noted
that those prices were for materials only. He stated that all new installations for subdivisions are
underground and each year the City is converting overhead to underground at a rate of approximately
$500,000 per year.
Staff recommended awarding the three (3) year contract to Osmose Utilities Services, Inc., and the
option to extend the contract for two (2) additional one (1) year extensions.
Mr. Perza moved for approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and
carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
EVALUATION OF BIDS - CANNON MILL PAVING IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM
In concurrence with the City of Dover’s Capital Investments Plan, it was proposed to rehabilitate and
complete pavement sections within the City of Dover during Fiscal Year 2013. In particular, the
final pavement section, type ‘C’ surface coat, was never installed in the Cannon Mill Subdivision
due to the project owners filing for bankruptcy.
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that the Letter of Credit was not adequate to cover the
expenses and he noted that staff had been working with local legislators to try to find ways to get
bankrupt developments dedicated for public maintenance and ownership. He advised members that,
earlier in the evening, the Utility Committee recommended that the roads in Cannon Mill be
dedicated for public ownership. Mr. Koenig advised that the roads must be dedicated to qualify for
Community Transportation Funds and Senator Bushweller and Representative Scott had agreed to
fund $165,000 for the paving and completion of the infrastructure in Phase I of the Village of
Page 30
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 27
Cannon Mill. The total length of scheduled street repaving/overlaying was approximately 4,230
linear feet or 0.80 miles. The following locations were included in the proposed scope of work to
be completed under the Cannon Mill Paving Improvements Program:
Street Name Exhibit Title Street Name Exhibit Title
Cannon Mill Drive Cannon Mill Paradee Drive Cannon Mill
East Sheldrake Circle Cannon Mill Quillen Street Cannon Mill
Lester Court Cannon Mill West Sheldrake Circle Cannon Mill
Nine (9) contractors submitted unit price bids for the proposed work to be performed. Based on the
proposed quantities, the estimated contract values were as follows:
Contractor Location Amount of Bid Amount of Bid
(With Prevailing (Without
Wages) Prevailing Wages)
American Infrastructure, Inc. West Chester, PA $336, 332.80 $333,140.50
Daisy Construction Co. New Castle, DE $290, 319.70 $277,479.60
David A. Bramble, Inc. Chestertown, MD $289, 980.70 $275,437.10
Del-mar-va Paving Co., Inc. Seaford, DE $285, 975.35 $261,440.05
Diamond Materials, LLC Wilmington, DE $294, 611.18 $278,888.26
George & Lynch Dover, DE $326, 124.05* $314, 028.15*
GWP Enterprises Franklinville, NJ $288, 424.34 $281, 469.47
Harmony Construction Co. Wilmington, De $275, 854.27 $264, 051.33
Jerry's Paving Inc. Milford, De $283, 959.67 $266, 517.90
*Evaluated Bid based on Local Vendor Preference
The Cannon Mill Paving Improvements Program contract documents allow staff to alter quantities
up to 35% without changes to unit prices; therefore, the contract final value may be adjusted to
reflect all available funding. Harmony Construction Company, Inc., submitted all of the contractor’s
qualification information, which included a list of recently completed projects similar in scope, as
well as a financial statement, that were all found to be adequate. It was staff’s opinion that the bid
represented fair market value and their qualifications were in accordance with the requirements of
this project. In conclusion, staff recommended awarding a construction contract to Harmony
Construction Company, Inc., in the amount of $275,854.27 for the Cannon Mill Paving Improvement
Program, contingent upon acceptance of infrastructure dedication by City Council.
Page 31
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 28
Staff recommended awarding a unit price contract, based upon Bid #13-0016PW, for the Cannon
Mill Paving Improvements Program to Harmony Construction Company based on the With
Prevailing Wage unit prices for each work item submitted. The Scope of Work for the program
would be altered to reflect the funding that had been secured to complete each location. The Public
Works Director may add or delete from the contract based on available funding throughout the
contract period and inform the City Manager of such additions and deletions. All work would be
paid for at the unit prices bid for work completed and accepted by the City of Dover. The total work
authorized under this contract would not exceed the available funding in conjunction with the
co-project FY 2013 Street and Alley Program. Mr. Koenig requested that this approval be contingent
upon Council’s approval of the Dedication of Rights-of-Way and Public Infrastructure - The Village
of Cannon Mill - Phase I, which was scheduled for consideration on March 11, 2013.
Mr. Lynn asked if the approval of this item could be deferred until the next Council meeting to
coincide with the consideration of the Utility Committee’s recommendation that the roads in Cannon
Mill be dedicated for public ownership without jeopardizing receipt of Community Transportation
Funds. Mr. Koenig stated that this would not jeopardize funding and would only delay construction
by two (2) weeks.
Mr. Bonar moved for approval of staff’s recommendation to award a unit price contract for the
Cannon Mill Paving Improvements Program to Harmony Construction Company. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Hutchison.
Mr. Lynn moved to table this item until the next Council meeting to afford time to explore the
possibility of suing the First National Bank of Wyoming relative to the line of credit. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a roll call vote of eight (8) yes
(Mr. Anderson, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Perza, Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hare, and
Mr. Hutchison) and one (1) no (Mr. Leary).
EVALUATION OF BIDS - PINEY POINT WELL DESIGN/BUILD
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that this project proposes designing and drilling a new
production well in the Piney Point Aquifer. This new well, located in Schutte Park, would be a
replacement of former Production Well #12, which was located off of Water Street. This well would
increase production capacity, increase system pressure, and stabilize chlorine residuals in the water
distribution system and was justified with the growing demand of the City’s residents and industrial
users. Staff decided to utilize a design/build method to construct this production well. The
contractors were responsible for submitting designs that meet the requirements outlined in the
Request for Proposals, as well as all applicable regulations. The specific work for this project
includes the design and construction of a new well, building, chlorine feed system, 30-inch ductile
iron pipe chlorine contact tank and associated piping, valves, meters, appurtenances, excavation,
backfill, testing, startup and site restoration.
Staff recommended awarding the Contract to JJID (James Julian, Inc., of Delaware) for an amount
not to exceed $892,000.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Koenig stated that wells could last for 50 or 60 years, depending
on the maintenance and the underground formation. He noted that Well #12 dates back to the 1960's
or 1970's and, because of the sub-surface strata, it was not a high-producing well.
Page 32
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 29
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig stated that this project would help stabilize some of the
chlorine residuals in the system, but a considerable amount of pipe would need to be replaced or
relined to address the brown water problem in this area.
Mr. Anderson stated that if production were not restored, there could be a risk of the Department of
Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) reducing the City’s allocation, which could
negatively affect the economic, industrial, and large manufacturing development in the City.
Mrs. Williams moved for approval of staff’s recommendation to award the Contract to JJID
(James Julian, Inc., of Delaware) for an amount not to exceed $892,000, seconded by
Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
APPOINTMENTS/REAPPOINTMENTS - BOARD OF ASSESSMENT APPEALS - FOUR

By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the following reappointments to the
Board of Assessment Appeals. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a
unanimous roll call vote.

James Galvin, Undesignated
William Garfinkel, Undesignated
FIRST READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE
Council President Leary reminded the public that copies of the proposed ordinance were available
at the entrance of the Council Chambers or could be obtained from the City Clerk's Office. Final
action by Council on the proposed ordinance would take place during the Council Meeting of
March 11, 2013.
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members
that the amendments were primarily housekeeping in nature and would improve the administration
of the Vacant Building Ordinance. Additionally, the ordinance would set separate, increased fees
for vacant commercial properties greater than or equal to 10,000 square feet in floor area.
Mrs. Townshend noted that discussion with local Realtors had resulted in an improved definition of
a vacant building.
Mr. Perza asked if any thought was given to providing a definition for an unoccupied building for
purposes of enforcement. Responding, Mrs. Townshend expressed concern with being so specific
that the obvious could be missed. She preferred to rely on the building being used for its intended
purpose as the standard definition.
In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the
Ordinance Amendment as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows:
STAFF SUBSTITUTE #1 FOR ORDINANCE #2013-03 (AMENDED) - CHAPTER 22 -

Planning, Inspections & Recreation
2012 Annual Report
Introduction
2012 was a year of change and adjustment within the Department of Planning and Inspections. With
citywide reorganization, Planning and Inspections came back together as one department after being
separated since 2006. In July, Economic Development moved out of the Planning and Inspections
Department and into the Mayor’s Office. Also in July, the City’s Recreation Division joined the Planning
and Inspections Department.
The economic downturn has continued to affect the Planning and Inspections area, as application volumes
remained low and building vacancy remained high. In Fiscal Year 2012, which ended June 30, 2012, the
Department brought in $2,769,564 in the Planning and Inspections area, an increase in $352,000 over the
prior fiscal year. As in prior years, institutional projects continued strong, contributing to the local economy.
Notable construction projects included:
New Dover High School Construction underway
Capital School District Administrative Complex completed
Renovations to the Kent County Court House nearly complete
Site improvements at the Booker T. Washington Elementary School/William Henry Middle
School Campus
Construction underway on the Delaware Technical and Community College Campus
Continued renovations at Bayhealth Kent General Hospital
An exciting addition to the Department is the Recreation Division. The Recreation staff has been working
hard to build on the strengths of our programming and look for opportunities to improve our service to the
community. In October, the Recreation staff was relocated from Dover Park on White Oak Road to the John
W. Pitts Center. While the staff has been adjusting to the new space constraints, having the entire Recreation
staff located in one facility has allowed us to improve efficiency and expand services. In late 2012, through
modifying staff schedules, we were able to start opening the Pitts Center at 6:30 a.m. for early morning
walkers. The expanded hours have been well received by the community.
A lot of time and attention has been paid to working with Calpine
Corporation to get the plans complete for the Garrison Energy Cen-
ter, which is expected to begin construction in spring 2013. The Plan-
ning Office also continued to work closely with the Capital School
District and DelDOT as the new Dover High School construction has
progressed. Efforts continue with regard to ensuring safe access to the
Dover High School for pedestrians.
Another priority of the Department over the last year was addressing
the issue of vacant and dangerous buildings. During 2012, 28 build-
ings were declared dangerous by City Council, 10 buildings were de- Dover High School—A Bird’s Eye View

molished either by the owner due to a dangerous building declaration or by the City, and 8 properties were re-
paired by the owner. At the close of 2012, 366 buildings were registered Vacant, and $28,750 in fees were
collected from Vacant Building registrations. These numbers demonstrate the City’s commitment to address
the problems of vacant and deteriorated properties.

cess, responds to inquiries related to construction, assists in property damage assessment after significant
damage causing events occur, enforces licensing of contractors, and regulates permit requirements for con-
struction and/or repairs regulated by the Building and Life Safety Codes. The City has adopted the 2009 Inter-
national Code series.
During 2012, the Building Inspections staff conducted 7,969 inspections. Of these, 3,577 were building
construction inspections, 4,392 were Plumbing/HVAC inspections, and 128 were building walk-throughs.

Back to Life!
In 2012, while new construction was slow, great progress was made as two abandoned construction projects
found new life and were completed and occupied. The Grande, the former Dove View apartments near
Forrest Avenue that sat vacant in a state of partial completion since 2008 were completed and occupied in
late 2012. Construction on a third building should begin in 2013. The Silver Bullit Office Building on Route
13 was also completed and occupied in 2012. City Planning and Inspections staff worked closely with the
owners of both projects to help bring them back to life.

Vacant Buildings
As part of the Vacant Buildings program the Code Enforcement
Officers registered in 2012 a total of 366 buildings within the City
limits of Dover and collected $28,750 in registration fees from
these registrations. Since the program began in 2007, a total of 826
structures have been registered as vacant. Currently, staff estimates
that there are approximately 300 of these structures still vacant.
Numerous previous registered vacant buildings have come into
code compliance by either being re-occupied or by being demol-
ished.

Planning Applications/Boards and Commissions
The Planning Office coordinates the review and approval of all development applications within the City and
provides support to the Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, and Historic District Commission. Dur-
ing 2012, the Planning Office processed 79 new applications
and continued review on applications that had been submitted in
previous years.
Community Development
In 2012, the Community Development Office became a part of
the Planning Office. With concurrence of City Council, the pro-
gram was changed to select applicants for a three-year period.
Funding requests from selected applicants will be reviewed an-
nually by the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement
Committee. The Community Development program is also re-
sponsible to ensuring that the City works with partners to affirmatively further fair housing. In this regard,
the Planning Commission received Fair Housing training from the Delaware Human Relations staff. The fol-
lowing applications were awarded funding in 2012:
Milford Housing Development Corporation (MHDC) Emergency Home Repairs—Emergency re-
pairs have been completed on two (2) owner occupied homes eliminating severe housing conditions that
constitute health and safety hazards year to date.
Homeownership Assistance Program—Throughout the year, four (4) families closed on homes using
the City of Dover’s Homeownership Assistance Program and received homeownership counseling
through NCALL.
Dover Interfaith Mission to the Homeless—CDBG funds were utilized to cover the operations costs for
the homeless shelter.
NCALL Research—Ten (10) first-time homebuyers re-
ceived housing counseling and foreclosure prevention.
Serenity Place—CDBG funds were utilized to assist in the
rebuilding of a treatment facility that services men who suf-
fer from substance abuse.
Elizabeth Murphey School—CDBG funds were provided
to install a geothermal heating system in one of the facilities
that services children that are at risk for homelessness.
The Community Development Program also administers fund-
ing for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). In 2009,
City of Dover was awarded 1.5 million dollars from Delaware

lies. The City has partnered with Dover Housing Authority, Diamond State Community Land Trust, Connec-
tions Community Support Program and Habitat for Humanity. To date, the partners have purchased 10 proper-
ties. Eight (8) properties have been sold, one is a lease purchase,
and one is a rental that serves persons with disabilities.
Comprehensive Plan Implementation & Ordinance Development
The Planning Office is responsible for developing ordinances and
other activities to implement the City’s Comprehensive Plan. In
this regard, the following projects were priorities of the Planning
Staff in 2012:
Update to Sign Regulations—The Planning Office met with
members of the business and real estate community for six
months to conduct a comprehensive review of the City’s sign
regulations. In August, City Council approved Ordinance
#2012-13, comprehensively updating the sign regulations. 218 Ann Avenue—NSP Home
Capital City Trail—The Planning Office has worked with the
Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Association and DelDOT on planning of the Capital City Trail,
which will connect Silver Lake Park with Public Safety Boulevard, where the St. Jones Greenway Isaacs
Branch trail begins. Construction of the first phase of this regional trail project is expected to begin in
spring 2013, and will include a multi-purpose trail along the St. Jones River between Loockerman Street
and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard behind the Delaware Public Archives parking area.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment—In accordance with the approved procedure for annual amendments
to the Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Office processed a request to amend the Land Development Plan
Map. This request was approved by City Council in March.
Amendment to the A (Agriculture) Zone—Members of City Council sponsored an amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance to allow for the sale of agricultural equipment within the A Zone. Ordinance #2012-14
was approved by City Council on August 13, 2012.
Amendment to RGO (General Residence and Office) Zone—Members of City Council sponsored an
amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to allow for sale of alcohol in restaurants within the RGO Zone and H
(Historic District) Zone. Sale of alcohol will be subject to Conditional Use approval by the Planning Com-
mission. City Council approved Ordinance #2012-15 on August 13, 2012.
Amendments to AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone)—Planning staff began the process to adopt
ordinances to update the City’s Airport Environs Overlay Zone based on the Air Installation Compatible
Use Zone study completed by the Dover Air Force Base in 2010. All affected property owners were con-
tacted regarding the proposed changes, and the Planning Office held a public workshop on November 8,
2012. The ordinance amendments will be presented to City Council in early 2013.
Bamboo Ordinance—The Planning Office did research and drafted an ordinance to prohibit the growing
of bamboo on properties within the City. Ordinance #2012-16 was approved by City Council on July 9,
2012.
Update to Community Flood Insurance Rate Maps—The Planning Office is participating in the process
of updates to specific Community Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) as a result of a new Flood Insurance
Study. The updates are the result of a Coastal Study for Kent County and a study of the Murderkill Water-
shed. The process is on-going as there is a specific review and adoption process for the FIRM Map panels
by FEMA and the community. The City will be required to review its existing floodplain codes and ordi-
nances as part of this adoption process in 2013 (Zoning Ordinance Article 5 Section 4).
In addition, other floodplain and drainage planning activities are occurring in Delaware. Planning Staff
attended the Senate Bill 64 Floodplain and Drainage Advisory Committee Community Outreach Meeting
9
Page 54
on August 15, 2012. The meeting included a review of the Adopted Floodplain and Drainage Standards
and Recommendations (DNREC Secretary’s Order # 2012-WS-0029 effective August 2, 2012). As a fol-
low-up, municipalities were asked to self-review their existing regulations to access and report on the con-
sistencies/deficiencies of local programs regarding floodplain and drainage activities and their capacity to
implement the standards and recommendations. The Planning Office completed self-assessment and sub-
mitted it to DNREC in December 2012. The self-assessment identified a number of areas where Dover
could improve its floodplain and drainage regulations; Planning Staff will continue working on this in
2013.
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit (MS4)—The Planning Office has continued to work to
implement the requirements of our MS4 permit. Much of the support for the permit implementation has
been provided by
Major Projects
Dover Public Library
The Dover Public Library project (S-10-06) after receiving Site Plan
approvals and Building Permits in 2011 was actively under construction
in 2012. The Planning Staff participated in inspections for the building
and site to confirm compliance with the approved Site Plan in mid-
September 2012 for a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. Members of
the Planning Staff also attended the ribbon cutting ceremony on Septem-
ber 20, 2012 to celebrate the opening of the new Dover Public Library.
Site improvement work continued in the Fall-Winter of 2012 on areas
such as the Reading Garden, installation of site furnishings, paving, etc.
New Dover High School Project (C-10-05 and S-11-18)
The Site Development Master Plan for the new Dover High School pro-
ject was conditionally approved by the Planning Commission in Decem-
ber 2010. In 2012, Planning Staff continues to be involved in the vari-
ous planning discussions and review activities related to the new Dover
High School project to be constructed on the south side of Forrest Ave-
nue (Route 8).
Dover Public Library—Opened September
Through August 2012, the Planning Staff continued monthly progress
meetings on the project with City Staff (Planning, Public Works, and
Public Utilities), the district, their design professionals
and construction manager, and other appropriate review
agencies. In 2012, the new Dover High School pro-
gressed from foundation work to building construction.
The Building Permit for the building construction was
issued in March 2012, and construction on the signalized
west entrance (Dover High Drive and Route 8) began in
July 2012.
In June 2012, the results of the signal analysis being con-
ducted for the east entrance were received noting that a
signal is not warranted at that location. City Staff, the
Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee, and
City Council have expressed concerns regarding traffic
and pedestrian access in the area of the east entrance.

Discussions with DelDOT remain on-going on this item.
Garrison Oak Technical Park/Garrison Energy Center
The City continued to move forward during 2012 with review of the subdivision of the Garrison Oak Tech-
nical Park. In April, the Planning Commission reviewed and granted conditional approval of the Garrison En-
ergy Center Master Plan. Staff has continued to review the site plan phases administratively along with other
review agencies. Calpine Corporation subsequently prepared a report to address the Performance Standards
identified in the Zoning Ordinance, which was approved by the Planning Commission in August. Staff contin-
ues to work closely with Calpine and others to keep the project on track to break ground in March 2013.
Boards and Commissions
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission consist of nine members with Col. Robert Welsh as Chairman and Fred Tolbert as
Vice-Chairman. The Planning Commission met monthly in 2012. The Planning Commission reviewed 34
applications for 2012. The Commission reviewed 12 Site Plan, 6 Conditional Use Plans, 2 Minor Subdivision
Plans, 2 Comprehensive Unified Sign Plans and 9 Miscellaneous applications. The Site Plans reviewed by the
Planning Commission included an addition to the Dover Mall for the establishment of Dick’s Sporting Goods,
Leander Lakes to allow for the construction of 240 apartments to be located off of Forrest Ave, multiple build-
ing additions at the Delaware Technical and Community College and to allow for the construction of Serenity
Place. The Conditional Use applications included the establishment of a tea house on North State Street, and
the establishment of a church on Loocker-
man Street. The Planning Commission made Planning Commission Applications

This included 8 Administrative Site Plan and 15 Miscellaneous applications. The Administrative Site Plans
included a building addition to Winner Ford-Hyundai, the Wesley College Streetscape Improvements, the in-
stallation of new building equipment for NRG Energy Center of W. North St., and the first phase of the new
Optics Building at Delaware State University. A number of the Miscellaneous applications involved the
movement of property lines or the combination of parcels.
Historic District Commission
The Historic District Commission consists of five members with Dick Scrafford as Chairman and Charles
Salkin as Vice-Chairman. The Historic District Commission held five meetings in 2012. The Historic District
Commission reviewed seven (7) applications for Architectural Review Certificates in 2012. This included the
referral of one Building Permit to the Historic District Commission for review of the exterior finishes for the

The Historic District area of Downtown Dover continues to be the site of many community festivals, parades,
and activities associated with the First State Heritage Park. The construction of several major projects previ-
ously reviewed by the Historic District Commission brought changes to Downtown Dover as well. September
2012 saw the opening of the Dover Public Library at 35 Loockerman Plaza. In 2012, construction activities
also continued with renovations at the old Kent County Courthouse, the construction of the Bayard Plaza
mixed use building at 200 West Loockerman Street, and construction of Loockerman Way (plaza area) and
North Street Parking Lot Improvements.
Board of Adjustment
The Planning Office received 15 variance applications for the Board of Adjustment in 2012. Of those, 10
variances were approved, two were denied, two applications were withdrawn by the applicant, and one
application was deferred until January 2013. Four variance requests were related to signage, three were
requesting a reduction in parking requirements, and two were requesting the re-establishment of
non-conforming uses. The Board of Adjustment has a narrow focus in its role, as specified by the Zoning Ordi-
nance and Delaware Code. The Board strictly applies the legal standard prescribed by code, which has helped
to keep the volume of applications submitted to the Board relatively low.

Zach Carter Retires after 23 Years of Service
After 23 years of dedicated service to the City of Dover, Zach Carter announced his
retirement in the summer of 2012. Zach gave his all to the City and on the many
boards and commissions on which he held a seat. The St. Jones Greenway Commis-
sion, Silver Lake Commission, Kent County Tourism, First Night Dover, 4th of July
Committee, and Greater Dover Arts Council just to name a few. During his tenure,
Dover’s park facilities flourished and recreation programs grew.
Silver Lake Park, Mayfair Park, New Street Park, Dover Park, and local neighbor-
hood parks are just some of the examples that showcase Zach’s commitment to the
residents of Dover. His ability to obtain grant funding was a key factor in installing
age appropriate playground equipment, replacing non-compliant equipment in parks
throughout the City of Dover.
Much work was done under his leadership on water quality and restoration efforts for
Silver Lake, Mirror Lake and the St. Jones. Workshops and planting projects were hosted to encourage the
community involvement in shrub/tree planting projects.
His contributions will be long lasting for Dover. On a personal note, Zach’s love for sports was known by
many as he coached his children on various sports teams and was a fixture on the sideline when not managing
or coaching.
Today, Zach remains in Dover with his wife Janet. On hot summer days you’ll find him on a baseball dia-
mond as he continues managing the American Legion Fox Post II baseball team.

Personnel Changes
The continued dedication and professionalism of the staff of the Department of Planning, Inspections and
Recreation is a critical element in providing services to the community. These qualities allow staff to
successfully interact with the residents of our City and support continued community improvement. There
were a number of staffing changes within the Department during 2012. The changes are as follows:
Tracey Harvey was reclassified from Community Development Manager to Planner I. Changes were made
to streamline management of the Community Development program and Tracey assisted with a
number of Planning Office responsibilities including Rental Dwelling permit review, site plan review,
review of variance applications, and other planning functions.
Maretta Purnell was relocated from the Front Office (Licensing and Permitting Division) to the Planning
Office. Diane Metsch was relocated from the Planning Office to the Front Office to supervise the Li-
censing and Permitting Division.
Ann Marie Townshend assumed oversight of the Recreation Division in July, following the retirement of
Zach Carter as the Director of Parks and Recreation in June. Ann Marie and the Recreation staff spent

PETITION TO AMEND ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AND ZONING MAP
Public Hearing before the
City of Dover City Council
March 11, 2013
Proposed Zoning Change: Amendment to Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 22 AEOZ and
Zoning Map to comply with the 2010 Air Installation Compatible
Use Zone Study (AICUZ) Update completed by the Dover Air
Force Base
Summary of Amendment: Staff developed the proposed Text Amendment and
Comprehensive Rezoning to comply with the 2010 Air Installation
Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Study Update completed by the
Dover Air Force Base. A large portion of the text amendment is to
reflect the updated Land Use Compatibility Table (Zoning
Ordinance, Article 3 Section 22.6). The proposed Land Use
Compatibility Table is more detailed with regards to specific uses
within the AEOZ. The proposed Comprehensive Rezoning is
based on the updated Noise Zones that reduce the size and location
of the Noise Zones within the City of Dover. This rezoning will
require separate action by the Planning Commission and City
Council. The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing at their
meeting of February 19, 2013.
In developing the proposed ordinance, staff reviewed the Land
Development Plan of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan to ensure that
the Text Amendment and Comprehensive Rezoning are consistent
with the policies to support and protect the vital interest of the
Dover Air Force Base. These areas impacted by the Text
Amendment and Comprehensive Rezoning are located on the east
side of the city near the Air Force Base.
Recommendation of The Planning Commission recommended that City Council
Planning Commission: approve Ordinances #2013-01 and #2013-02 as proposed at their
meeting on February 19, 2013.

Comprehensive Rezoning and Text Amendment – AEOZ
Background on Project
MI-12-24
On February 12, 2001, the Dover City Council adopted the Airport Environs Overlay Zone
(AEOZ) as Article 3 Section 22 of the Zoning Ordinance. This section of the Zoning Ordinance
is intended to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by identifying areas impacted by high
levels of aircraft noise and the potential for aircraft accidents associated with airport operations
and by regulating land use and the construction of buildings within such areas surrounding the
Dover Air Force Base. The AEOZ is a zoning overlay used in conjunction with the underlying
zoning for the property. In August of 2010, the Dover Air Force Base completed an update to
their Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ). A copy of the updated AICUZ Study is
available in the Planning Office.
The Planning Staff began to draft ordinances to update the Zoning Map and Article 3 Section 22
AEOZ to comply with the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Study Update. A large portion
of the text amendment is to reflect the updated land use compatibility table (Article 3 Section
22.6). The proposed land use compatibility table is more detailed with regards to specific uses
within the AEOZ. The proposed rezoning is based on the updated Noise Zones that reduce the
size and location of the Noise Zones within the City of Dover. A list of properties proposed for
rezoning was identified based on the new Noise Zones.
The Chapter 12: Land Development Plan (including Map 12-1: Land Development Plan) of the
2008 Comprehensive Plan identified (pages 156-157) that the City should support and protect
the vital interest of the Dover Air Force Base. Policies identified indicate that the City should
restrict land use in accordance with the most current edition of the AICUZ and require noise
attenuation measures for properties in the vicinity of the Dover Air Force Base. Policies further
recognized the AEOZ within the Zoning Ordinance and the recognition of updates to the Zoning
Map as needed to coincide with the most recent AICUZ document.
The Comprehensive Rezoning and Text Amendments – AEOZ proposes to rezone 685
properties located near the Dover Air Force Base and to amend Article 3 Section 22 of the
Zoning Ordinance to be in compliance with the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Study
Update.
In an effort to ensure transparency in this process and allow time for public comment, the
Planning Office sent out letters to property owners of all lands proposed for rezoning on October
24, 2012, explaining the proposal and offering the opportunity for affected property owners to
attend a workshop on November 8, 2012 to meet with Planning Staff and the Community
Planner from the Dover Air Force Base.
The Text Amendment process follows the procedures for Zoning Text Amendments of the
Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 Section 5.2

(B) Whether adequate public services and infrastructure exist or can be created or
expanded to serve the needs of any additional demand as a result of such change; and
(C) Whether the proposed change is in accordance with the city's current comprehensive
plan.

#2013-02) to accomplish the Comprehensive Rezoning and Text Amendments – AEOZ on
January 28, 2013, referred the ordinances to the Planning Commission for public hearing and
consideration on February 19, 2013, and set the public hearing and final action by City Council

affected owners proposed for Rezoning informing them of the proposal and published
advertisements in the Dover Post on February 1, 2013 and Delaware State News on February 3,
2013.
The Planning Commission held public hearings for the proposed Comprehensive Rezoning and
Text Amendments – AEOZ per Article 10, Sections 5.23 and 5.43 of the Zoning Ordinance at

RE: Change in Zoning Designation: From C-3, AEOZ Noise Zone C to C-3
1062 LAFFERTY LN Tax Parcel Number: ED05-086.00-01-07.00
Dear 1062 LAFFERTY LLC,
On February 12, 2001, the Dover City Council adopted the Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) as
Article 3 Section 22 of the Zoning Ordinance. This section of the Zoning Ordinance is intended to
protect the public health, safety, and welfare by identifying areas impacted by high levels of aircraft noise
and the potential for aircraft accidents associated with airport operations and by regulating land use and
the construction of buildings within such areas surrounding the Dover Air Force Base. The AEOZ is a
zoning overlay used in conjunction with the underlying zoning for the property. In August of 2010, the
Dover Air Force Base completed an update to their Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ). As
part of the implementation process for the AICUZ, the Planning Staff has identified a number of
properties where changes to the AEOZ zoning designation are necessary to achieve compliance with the
AICUZ. We have also identified changes to the AEOZ regulations outlined of the Zoning Ordinance.
Your property is located at 1062 LAFFERTY LN and identified by tax parcel number ED05-086.00-01-
07.00. The property is being recommended to be removed from the AEOZ. The underlying zoning of
the property is not proposed to change as a part of this rezoning process. We are currently recommending
that its zoning be changed from C-3, AEOZ Noise Zone C to C-3. The purpose of this letter is to advise
you of the proposed change and to inform you of opportunities that you will have to ask questions and
express your thoughts regarding our recommended changes.
We will be holding a Public Workshop on Thursday November 8, 2012 in the Council Chambers of City
Hall at 15 Loockerman Plaza, Dover. There will be information on display from 9:00am-12:00pm and
from 4:00-7:00pm. Staff will be available to address both specific property concerns as well as general
questions about the process and the implications for the City. A follow up notification will be sent to you
by mail when the dates for the Public Hearings before Planning Commission and City Council for this
comprehensive Rezoning are established. All Public Hearings and announcements are kept up to date and
can be viewed at www.cityofdover.com. If you have a concern with the recommended zone changes, this
will be your best opportunity to discuss it with Planning Office Staff.
If you have any concerns, I hope you will take advantage of the opportunities we are offering to discuss
the zoning of your property. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call the Planning Office at
(302) 736-7196 or email compplan@dover.de.us

Dear AMISIAL,FRANCIENNE & MAXY,SAINTAMISE,
This is a follow up letter to a letter dated October 24, 2012 informing you of the City’s proposal to amend
the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 22 Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) and Zoning Map as
it relates to the boundaries of the AEOZ. This section of the Zoning Ordinance is intended to protect the
public health, safety, and welfare by identifying areas impacted by high levels of aircraft noise and the
potential for aircraft accidents associated with airport operations and by regulating land use and the
construction of buildings within such areas surrounding the Dover Air Force Base. The AEOZ is a zoning
overlay used in conjunction with the underlying zoning for the property. In August of 2010, the Dover
Air Force Base completed an update to their Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ). Using this
study update the City is moving forward with the amendments to the AEOZ and Zoning Map. As part of
the City’s amendment to the AEOZ, a number of properties were identified to be rezoned.
Your property is located at 3 NICHOLAS DR and identified by tax parcel number ED05-068.20-01-
55.00. The property is being recommended for a change to the AEOZ. The underlying zoning of the
property is not proposed to change as a part of this rezoning process. We are currently recommending
that its zoning be changed from R-8, AEOZ Noise Zones A and B, APZ II to R-8, AEOZ APZ II. Staff
notes that some properties will have the same proposed zoning designation as the current zoning
designations. This occurs as the location of the AEOZ Noise Zone on the property is changing. The
purpose of this letter is to advise you of the proposed change and to inform you of opportunities that you
will have to ask questions and express your thoughts regarding the recommended changes at two Public
Hearings.
• The Planning Commission will hold a Public Hearing on Tuesday February 19, 2013 at
7:00pm in Council Chambers of City Hall at 15 Loockerman Plaza, Dover, Delaware
regarding the proposed rezoning.
• City Council will hold a Public Hearing on Monday March 11, 2013 at 7:30pm in

Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Study developed by the Dover Air Force Base. The
Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) was adopted by City Council in 2001 and this is an
updated of that Zone.
Mrs. Townshend stated that the primary change in the text was that the former Land Use
Compatibility Tables were removed and we inserted what the Dover Air Force Base has currently.
There are no significant changes. Mrs. Townshend stated that in some cases, it breaks down things
more clearly. The Text Amendment states what you can do in the different Noise Zones, the
Accident Potential Zones and the Clear Zones. Mrs. Townshend further stated that changes were
made to the purpose and intent in order to make it clearer.
Mrs. Townshend stated that the most significant change to the text is under Tab AEOZ, page 2,
lines 70-83. It currently states that additions to existing commercial buildings are permitted but
limited to no more than 3,000 square feet. A practical example of where this was a problem was at
Dover Behavioral Health. This project went to the Board of Adjustment in order to do an expansion
of greater than 3,000 square feet. Mrs. Townshend further stated that in trying to prevent deferring
that type of expansion to the Board of Adjustment, knowing that it is very limited in terms of that
type of use and that a lot of what’s in the zone complies with the use requirements, they proposed a
change. Additions to existing non-residential buildings designed for human occupation shall be
limited to a maximum increase of 50 percent of the floor area. Mrs. Townshend stated that it is now
more of a ratio approach. For instance, a 2,500 square foot operation cannot be expanded by more
Page 77

FEBRAURY 19, 2013
than double. She also pointed out that a large facility is still limited to 50 percent increase. This text
amendment provides a check and balance that unlimited expansion is not applicable, by pro-rating
the expansion based on the size of the facility.
Mrs. Townshend stated that additions to existing non-residential buildings designed for storage
warehousing and other uses not intended for human occupancy as a primary use, are unlimited in
floor area. Typically, most of the warehousing uses are permitted but they wanted to make it clear
that there is a limit on expansion for buildings intended for human occupancy versus buildings that
are used for storage.
Mrs. Townshend stated that when going through the process for both the map and text changes,
they coordinated closely with the Community Planner for the Dover Air Force Base. All of the
materials have been available for review and they have not received any concerns. She further
stated that when the public workshop was held in November 2012, the Community Planner for the
Dover Air Force Base did attend. The purpose of the Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) is to
protect the Air Force Base from encroachment of incompatible uses in the area surrounding the
Dover Air Force Base.
Colonel Welsh questioned if the Dover Air Force Base was in compliance with the purposed
amendments? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mrs. Townshend stated yes, the Dover Air Force Base
had not stated otherwise and they have been working very closely with them.
Colonel Welsh opened a public hearing.
Mr. Donald Glanden – DHK, LLC 14 Starlifter Avenue Dover DE 19901
Mr. Glanden stated that he presently has a building located in the Industrial Park on Starlifter
Avenue. He further stated that the zoning will continue to be zoned M (Manufacturing), but the
Noise Zone is being changed from Noise Zone C to Noise Zones A and B. Mr. Glanden asked for
clarification as to how that would affect their operation or how it affects their property? Responding
to Mr. Glanden, Mrs. Townshend stated that in terms of their operation, the Noise Zone change
does not affect any operation that is existing. The Noise Zones A and B are less restrictive than
Noise Zone C. She further stated that Noise Zones C and D are the more intense Noise Zones.
Primarily, especially as it related to the manufacturing type operations and warehousing type
operations, the Noise Zone affects it in terms of building construction and the noise attenuation you
need to construct the building to.
Mr. Glanden further questioned if the zoning change would make it more difficult for new
construction to come in to the Industrial Park? Responding to Mr. Glanden, Mrs. Townshend stated
that it would not make it more difficult. With the change in the noise contours they are seeing a
contraction of the Noise Zones. She further stated that the change would take away some level of
restriction.
Mr. Mark Dunkle – Parkowski, Guerke & Swayze P.A. 116 W Water Street Dover DE 19904
Mr. Dunkle stated that he was here on behalf of Dover Behavioral Health and that they fully
support the common sense amendment and also appreciate the language.

Ms. Kam Yeung – First State Billiard Inc 10 Maggies Way Dover DE 19901
Ms. Yeung stated that she currently owns a building located in Bryan Business Park which is a pool
hall. She further stated that she was confused with the Noise Zone change. Responding to Ms.
Yeung, Colonel Welsh stated that the zoning at ground level was not changing. The zoning change
has to do with the flight path of the air craft and the noise and also the Accident Potential Area.
Colonel Welsh further stated that these areas have actually shrunk, so if you were not affected
before then you should not be affected now.
Mrs. Townshend stated that there is an issue with this property since it is located within the
Accident Potential Zone. She pointed out that the Accident Potential Zones have not changed with
this amendment. With regard to the pool hall, it would be limited to the type of expansion. The
building is now zoned as a public assembly, so it would not be a permitted use. Any expansion
would be limited to 50 percent expansion of the existing area. Mrs. Townshend gave an example of
a 5,000 square foot building; they would only be allowed to expand no more than 50 percent.
Ms. Yeung stated that she was not looking for expansion; she is trying to sell the property. She
further stated that her property is limited to the type of use that is able to be at this location.
Responding to Ms. Yeung, Mrs. Townshend stated that this is not something that is changing. She
further stated that the existing pool hall was a non-conforming use previously. The Planning Office
has spoken with people about a number of things opening at this location. The reality is that the
property is located within the Accident Potential Zone where even under the current language in the
Zoning Ordinance, public assemblies or similar activities are prohibited from starting new.
Ms. Yeung questioned if any other type of business could open at this location? Responding to Ms.
Yeung, Mrs. Townshend stated that businesses can open. There are just restrictions on the types of
uses at this location based on the issue of safety and how many people are going to be in the flight
zone.
Ms. Yeung stated that at the present time, her occupant load at this time is about 300 people. Mrs.
Townshend stated that Ms. Yeung’s existing business is legal non-conforming in the zone. She
further stated that that type of use can continue as long as the business does not cease for the period
of a year.
Colonel Welsh stated that if Ms. Yeung were going to sell the property and it remained a pool hall,
then she would have no issue. Responding to Colonel Welsh, Ms. Yeung stated that due to the
economy being so bad, no one has extra money to spend to keep the pool hall open. She further
stated that she has potential buyers from India, who want to open a temple at the location.
Mrs. Townshend stated that opening a temple at this location would be an issue in terms of both the
Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) and the zoning of the property, which is zoned C-3
(Service Commercial Zone). A public assembly would not be something permitted in the C-3
(Service Commercial) Zone.
Colonel Welsh closed the public hearing after seeing no one else wishing to speak.

Mr. Ambruso moved to recommend approval to the City Council on the proposed amendment to
the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to the updating of the Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ),
amending Appendix B, Article 3 Section 22, including the Land Use Compatibility Table,
seconded by Ms. Still and the motion was unanimously carried 6-0 with Mr. Shomo, Mr. Holt
and Dr. Jones absent.
Mrs. Townshend stated that Part B of the Comprehensive Rezoning and Text Amendment was
the Comprehensive Zoning Map Amendment. She stated that this was the map companion for
the text amendment that was just discussed. Mrs. Townshend asked members to look
specifically at the Exhibit Maps in their packets. She further stated that in an effort to answer any
questions and concerns at the front end of things, the Planning Office held a workshop on
November 8, 2012. A notice was sent to all property owners, inviting them to attend the
workshop. She stated that a number of people did attend the workshop.
Mrs. Townshend stated that what was being presented was a change to the Zoning Map based on
the 2010 Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Study published by the Dover Air Force
Base in August 2010. The primary change being made is on the second map. A number of
properties (shown in purple) under the map amendment, will be removed from the Airport
Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ). These properties would come out of the Noise Zone. She stated
that the Accident Potential Zone I, Accident Potential Zone II and the Clear Zone do not change
on the map but the Noise Zones change fairly significantly. There will be a number of properties
coming out of the Noise Zones and then those which remain in the Noise Zones are shifting and
contracting. For example, numerous properties are shifting from Noise Zones C and D to Noise
Zones B or A. She stated there are also some properties under Noise Zones B and C, but the line
shifts on the property. The primary impact that this has on properties deals with new
construction and the noise attenuation that has to be built into the buildings.
Mrs. Townshend further stated that the use restrictions are not changing. For example, going
from a Noise Zone D or C to a Noise Zone B or A the restrictions decrease to a degree. She
stated that all properties owners affected by this change have been notified multiple times. The
first notification was for the Workshop followed by the official Public Notice.
Mrs. Townshend asked members to look at page two (2) under Summary. She stated that when
making a motion it would be important to hit the factors specified in the Zoning Ordinance that
need to be considered. She further stated that for any Rezoning, the Planning Commission’s
report needs to consider whether such change is consistent with the aims and principles
embodied into the Zoning Ordinance as to the particular zones concerned. Based on the fact that
this is being done in accordance with implementation of the 2010 Air Installation Compatible
Use Zone (AICUZ) Study published by the Dover Air Force Base, we believe that it is clearly
met. Also, whether such proposed amendment is consistent with the aims of the Comprehensive
Plan for the City of Dover. There is significant deference to the Air Force Base given in the
Comprehensive Plan and the importance of protecting the Air Force Base as an employer and
also preventing encroachment of incompatible uses through the use of the Airport Environs
Overlay Zone (AEOZ). Section 5.43 states that the Planning Commission needs to determine
whether the uses permitted by the proposed change are compatible with the existing uses and
zones in the areas concerned. She again stated that this would be relieving a level of restriction
4
Page 80
Excerpt from CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION- DRAFT
FEBRAURY 19, 2013
rather than adding a level of restriction. In cases where a business may be legal non-conforming,
the amendment does not change how that use continues or the fact that it could not be re-
established if it were to expire. Whether adequate public services and infrastructure exist or can
be created or expanded to service the needs of any additional demand as a result of such change.
She stated that this is an Overlay Zone, so she does not see this being a concern. Also, whether
the proposed change is in accordance with the City of Dover’s Comprehensive Plan. This ties
into the concept of updating the Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) in accordance with the
current data which is very much consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's goals as it relates to
the Dover Air Force Base.
Colonel Welsh opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the
public hearing.
Mr. Ambruso moved to recommend approval to City Council on the proposed rezoning of the
685 properties in the eastern portion of the City, by changing the boundaries of the Airport
Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) in accordance with the 2010 Air Installation Compatible Use
Zone (AICUZ) Study, published by the Dover Air Force Base. These proposed changes involve
revisions to the noise contour boundaries, known as the Noise Zones A-D of the AEOZ zoning
classification, Ordinance # 2013-02. Also for the record, the proposed changes are consistent
with the principles embodied in the Zoning Ordinance and the City of Dover’s Comprehensive
Plan and the other criteria specified in the Zoning Ordinance, seconded by Ms. Still and the
motion was unanimously carried 6-0 with Mr. Shomo, Mr. Holt and Dr. Jones absent.

FINAL READING
CITY OF DOVER
ORDINANCE #2013-01
1 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET:
2
3 That Appendix B – Zoning, Article 3 – District Regulations, Section 22 Airport Environs Overlay
4 Zone (AEOZ) be amended by deleting the text shown in red bold strikethrough and inserting the
5 text in blue bold italics as follows:
6
7 Sec[tion] 22. Airport environs overlay zone (AEOZ).
8 22.1 Purpose and intent.
9 The airport environs overlay zone (AEOZ) is expressly intended to protect the public health,
10 safety, and welfare by identifying areas impacted by high levels of aircraft noise, and the
11 potential for aircraft accidents associated with airport operations, by regulating land use and the
12 construction of buildings within such areas. The AEOZ is further intended to preserve and
13 promote the integrity of the mission of Dover Air Force Base (DAFB) as a matter of local,
14 regional and national importance, by regulating development and land use within the specific
15 areas surrounding DAFB, and to protect DAFB from encroachment of incompatible land uses.
16 The AEOZ shall serve as an overlay zone that applies additional standards and requirements to
17 properties located therein.
18
19 (a) The AEOZ is based on information provided by the Dover Air Force Base’s Air
20 Installation Compatible Use Zone Study Update. The City shall work with the Dover Air
21 Force Base to update the provisions of this section as needed.
22 (b) In case of conflicting standards and requirements, the more stringent standards and
23 requirements shall apply. Uses prohibited by the underlying zoning designations of the
24 properties within the AEOZ shall not be permitted by this section.
25 22.2 Definitions.
26 (1) (a) Air installations compatible use zones (AICUZ): is a department of defense program to
27 achieve compatibility between air installations and neighboring communities.
28 (2) (b) Airport environs: is the geographic area that is affected by airport air traffic operations and
29 defined on the basis of those areas immediately impacted by aircraft noise of the 65 decibels
30 (dBs) and greater noise exposure areas as delineated by the current and approved DAFB air
31 compatibility use zone study. This area is represented as the airport environs overlay zone
32 (AEOZ).
33 (3) (c) Day-night average A-weighted sound level (DNL): is a cumulative aircraft noise index
34 which estimates the exposure to aircraft noise and relates the estimated exposure to an expected
35 community response; a 24-hour energy average sound level expressed in decibels (dBs), with a
36 ten-decibel penalty applied to noise occurring between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
37 (4) (d) DNL contour: is an isoline linking together a series of points of equal cumulative noise
38 exposure based on Ldn metric. Such contours are developed based on aircraft flight patterns,
39 number of daily aircraft operations by type of aircraft and time of day, noise characteristics of
40 each aircraft, and typical runway usage patterns.
41 (5) (e) Decibel (dB) : is a unit of measure of sound pressure or intensity.
42 (6) (f) Ldn metric: is the average equivalent A-weighted sound level during a 24-hour day,
43 obtained by adding ten decibels to the hourly noise levels measured during the night (10:00 p.m.
44 to 7:00 a.m.).

46 22.3 Accident potential zones and noise zones. The AEOZ is comprised of two basic regulatory
47 components: accident potential zones and noise zones. This section establishes three accident potential
48 zones and four noise zones. The boundaries of each of these zones are delineated on the City of Dover
49 zoning map and are further described as follows:
50 (a) Accident potential zones:
51 (1) Clear zone (CZ) is that area immediately adjoining the end of a runway and which
52 extends outward from the edge of the runway a distance of 3,000 feet and which is 3,000
53 feet in width )(1,500 feet to either side of the centerline of the airport runway);
54 (2) Accident potential zone I (APZ I) is that area immediately adjoining the outer edge of
55 the CZ and which extends outward from the boundary of the CZ a distance of 5,000 feet,
56 and which is 3,000 feet in width (1,500 feet to either side of the centerline of the
57 airport runway); and
58 (3) Accident potential zone II (APZ II) is that area immediately adjoining the outer edge
59 of the APZ I and which extends outward from the boundary of the APZ I a distance of
60 7,000 feet, and which is 3,000 feet in width.
61 (b) Noise zones:
62 (1) Noise zone A (DNL A) is that area within and bounded by DNL contour lines of
63 between 65 decibels and 69 decibels of noise pressure.
64 (2) Noise zone B (DNL B) is that area within and bounded by DNL contour lines of
65 between 70 decibels and 74 decibels of noise pressure.
66 (3) Noise zone C (DNL C) is that area within and bounded by DNL contour lines of
67 between 75 decibels and 79 decibels of noise pressure.
68 (4) Noise zone D (DNL D) is that area within and bounded by DNL contour lines of 80
69 decibels and subject to noise pressure of 80 decibels and greater.
70 22.4 Exemptions. The following uses and structures are exempt from compliance with the provisions of
71 this article section:
72 (a) Additions to existing one-family dwellings. Additions to existing one-family dwellings may
73 be permitted when all other applicable zoning district bulk requirements are met.
74 (b) Additions to existing commercial non-residential buildings. Additions to existing
75 commercial buildings limited to a maximum additional floor area of 3,000 square feet for
76 buildings designed and intended for human occupancy, and unlimited floor area for
77 additions to buildings primarily used for storage, warehousing and other uses not designed
78 or intended for human occupancy as a primary use.
79 (1) Additions to existing non-residential buildings designed for human occupation
80 shall be limited to a maximum increase of 50% of the floor area.
81 (2) Additions to existing non-residential buildings designed for storage, warehousing
82 and other uses not designed or intended for human occupancy as a primary use are
83 unlimited in floor area.
84 (c) Temporary uses. Temporary uses [which] include but are not limited to public gatherings,
85 celebrations and outdoor entertainment events are permitted, so long as the period of operation
86 does not exceed five days.
87 (d) Temporary structures. Temporary buildings and structures such as tents, pavilions, bleachers,
88 etc., that are not used for residential purposes, and which meet said applicable requirements as
89 contained within this zoning ordinance [appendix] are permitted, so long as such uses and
90 associated structures are constructed incidental to a permitted use.
91 (e) Agricultural uses, operations and structures. Agricultural uses, operations, and
92 buildings and associated nonresidential structures, and lands in agricultural production.

FINAL READING
CITY OF DOVER
ORDINANCE #2013-01
1 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET:
2
3 That Appendix B – Zoning, Article 3 – District Regulations, Section 22 Airport Environs Overlay
4 Zone (AEOZ) be amended by deleting the text shown in red bold strikethrough and inserting the
5 text in blue bold italics as follows:
6
7 Sec[tion] 22. Airport environs overlay zone (AEOZ).
8 22.1 Purpose and intent.
9 The airport environs overlay zone (AEOZ) is expressly intended to protect the public health,
10 safety, and welfare by identifying areas impacted by high levels of aircraft noise, and the
11 potential for aircraft accidents associated with airport operations, by regulating land use and the
12 construction of buildings within such areas. The AEOZ is further intended to preserve and
13 promote the integrity of the mission of Dover Air Force Base (DAFB) as a matter of local,
14 regional and national importance, by regulating development and land use within the specific
15 areas surrounding DAFB, and to protect DAFB from encroachment of incompatible land uses.
16 The AEOZ shall serve as an overlay zone that applies additional standards and requirements to
17 properties located therein.
18
19 (a) The AEOZ is based on information provided by the Dover Air Force Base’s Air
20 Installation Compatible Use Zone Study Update. The City shall work with the Dover Air
21 Force Base to update the provisions of this section as needed.
22 (b) In case of conflicting standards and requirements, the more stringent standards and
23 requirements shall apply. Uses prohibited by the underlying zoning designations of the
24 properties within the AEOZ shall not be permitted by this section.
25 22.2 Definitions.
26 (1) (a) Air installations compatible use zones (AICUZ): is a department of defense program to
27 achieve compatibility between air installations and neighboring communities.
28 (2) (b) Airport environs: is the geographic area that is affected by airport air traffic operations and
29 defined on the basis of those areas immediately impacted by aircraft noise of the 65 decibels
30 (dBs) and greater noise exposure areas as delineated by the current and approved DAFB air
31 compatibility use zone study. This area is represented as the airport environs overlay zone
32 (AEOZ).
33 (3) (c) Day-night average A-weighted sound level (DNL): is a cumulative aircraft noise index
34 which estimates the exposure to aircraft noise and relates the estimated exposure to an expected
35 community response; a 24-hour energy average sound level expressed in decibels (dBs), with a
36 ten-decibel penalty applied to noise occurring between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
37 (4) (d) DNL contour: is an isoline linking together a series of points of equal cumulative noise
38 exposure based on Ldn metric. Such contours are developed based on aircraft flight patterns,
39 number of daily aircraft operations by type of aircraft and time of day, noise characteristics of
40 each aircraft, and typical runway usage patterns.
41 (5) (e) Decibel (dB) : is a unit of measure of sound pressure or intensity.
42 (6) (f) Ldn metric: is the average equivalent A-weighted sound level during a 24-hour day,
43 obtained by adding ten decibels to the hourly noise levels measured during the night (10:00 p.m.
44 to 7:00 a.m.).
45 (g) SLUCM: Standard Land Use Coding Manual, U.S. Department of Transportation.

46 22.3 Accident potential zones and noise zones. The AEOZ is comprised of two basic regulatory
47 components: accident potential zones and noise zones. This section establishes three accident potential
48 zones and four noise zones. The boundaries of each of these zones are delineated on the City of Dover
49 zoning map and are further described as follows:
50 (a) Accident potential zones:
51 (1) Clear zone (CZ) is that area immediately adjoining the end of a runway and which
52 extends outward from the edge of the runway a distance of 3,000 feet and which is 3,000
53 feet in width )(1,500 feet to either side of the centerline of the airport runway);
54 (2) Accident potential zone I (APZ I) is that area immediately adjoining the outer edge of
55 the CZ and which extends outward from the boundary of the CZ a distance of 5,000 feet,
56 and which is 3,000 feet in width (1,500 feet to either side of the centerline of the
57 airport runway); and
58 (3) Accident potential zone II (APZ II) is that area immediately adjoining the outer edge
59 of the APZ I and which extends outward from the boundary of the APZ I a distance of
60 7,000 feet, and which is 3,000 feet in width.
61 (b) Noise zones:
62 (1) Noise zone A (DNL A) is that area within and bounded by DNL contour lines of
63 between 65 decibels and 69 decibels of noise pressure.
64 (2) Noise zone B (DNL B) is that area within and bounded by DNL contour lines of
65 between 70 decibels and 74 decibels of noise pressure.
66 (3) Noise zone C (DNL C) is that area within and bounded by DNL contour lines of
67 between 75 decibels and 79 decibels of noise pressure.
68 (4) Noise zone D (DNL D) is that area within and bounded by DNL contour lines of 80
69 decibels and subject to noise pressure of 80 decibels and greater.
70 22.4 Exemptions. The following uses and structures are exempt from compliance with the provisions of
71 this article section:
72 (a) Additions to existing one-family dwellings. Additions to existing one-family dwellings may
73 be permitted when all other applicable zoning district bulk requirements are met.
74 (b) Additions to existing commercial non-residential buildings. Additions to existing
75 commercial buildings limited to a maximum additional floor area of 3,000 square feet for
76 buildings designed and intended for human occupancy, and unlimited floor area for
77 additions to buildings primarily used for storage, warehousing and other uses not designed
78 or intended for human occupancy as a primary use.
79 (1) Additions to existing non-residential buildings designed for human occupation
80 shall be limited to a maximum increase of 50% of the floor area.
81 (2) Additions to existing non-residential buildings designed for storage, warehousing
82 and other uses not designed or intended for human occupancy as a primary use are
83 unlimited in floor area.
84 (c) Temporary uses. Temporary uses [which] include but are not limited to public gatherings,
85 celebrations and outdoor entertainment events are permitted, so long as the period of operation
86 does not exceed five days.
87 (d) Temporary structures. Temporary buildings and structures such as tents, pavilions, bleachers,
88 etc., that are not used for residential purposes, and which meet said applicable requirements as
89 contained within this zoning ordinance [appendix] are permitted, so long as such uses and
90 associated structures are constructed incidental to a permitted use.
91 (e) Agricultural uses, operations and structures. Agricultural uses, operations, and

UTILITY COMMITTEE
The Utility Committee Meeting was held on February 25, 2013 at 5:01 p.m. with Chairman Bonar
presiding. Members present were Mr. Perza, Mrs. Williams (arrived at 5:24 p.m.), and Mr. Blakeman.
Mr. Snaman was absent. Members of Council present were Mr. Dixon and Mr. Lynn (arrived at
5:05 p.m.), Mr. Hare (arrived at 5:14 p.m. and departed at 5:23 p.m.), Mr. Hutchison, and Council President
Leary (arrived at 5:10 p.m.). Mayor Carey was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved as presented.
Annexation Request - Property Located at 1174 South Governors Avenue, Owned by Sipple’s
Used Cars, Inc.
Members were provided a Petition to Annex and Zone Property located at 1174 South Governors
Avenue, consisting of 8,250+/- SF, owned by Sipple’s Used Cars, Inc.
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members
that the property is currently served by City of Dover Electric and, although there is no sanitary
sewer or water service to the property, both sanitary sewer and water mains run on South Governors
Avenue in front of the property. She indicated that the property owner would be responsible for the
costs associated with tapping the sanitary sewer and water mains, extending services to the property,
payment of impact fees, and obtaining permits associated with such improvements.
Staff recommended annexation of the property and adoption of Resolution No. 2013-06 setting the
annexation referendum.
In response to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, indicated that the cost of holding such
a referendum would be approximately $150. Noting that a proposed Charter Amendment was
scheduled for consideration by City Council in the very near future that would change the annexation
procedure by eliminating the need for a referendum for single property requests, Mr. Perza
questioned if action on this request should be delayed until action was taken on the Charter
Amendment, which would allow for administrative approval of the annexation. Responding,
Mrs. Townshend stated that the applicant had requested City sewer. She stated that if action were
delayed, the City would need to extend water and sewer to the property, with the stipulation that the
property would be annexed at a later date. Mrs. McDowell advised members that the Charter
Amendment was scheduled to be considered by the Legislative, Finance, and Administrative
Committee during their meeting scheduled later in the evening and, should it be approved by City
Council, there was no guarantee that it would be approved by the State Legislature.
Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation for annexation of the
property and adoption of Resolution No. 2013-06 (Attachment #1) setting the annexation
referendum for property located at 1174 South Governors Avenue, owned by Sipple’s Used
Cars, Inc. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Williams and unanimously carried.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 2
Dedication of Rights-of-Way and Public Infrastructure - Village of Cannon Mill - Phase I
Staff submitted a request for all public infrastructure improvements related to Phase 1 of the Village
of Cannon Mill to be dedicated to the City of Dover for permanent ownership and maintenance.
Members were provided a list of the public improvements associated with Phase 1. The total
construction value of the public improvements was $1,170,700. Members reviewed a map showing
the general location and configuration of the subject rights-of-way.
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the original developer filed for bankruptcy,
which resulted in work stoppage within the subdivision. The final wearing course and punch list
items remained to be completed to meet the City of Dover Standards and Specifications for Public
Works Construction and had been outstanding for many years. The Department was prepared to
complete the work required, pending rights-of-way and public infrastructure dedication. He stated
that during their meeting scheduled for later in the evening, City Council would be considering a
request for a contract in the amount of $275,000 to complete the paving and concrete improvements
for this subdivision. He advised members that Representative Darryl Scott and Senator Brian
Bushweller had agreed to contribute $165,000 of the $275,000 in community transportation funds.
Mr. Koenig explained that, in order to use these funds, the roads must be dedicated prior to the
agreements being signed.
Staff recommended acceptance of the dedication of rights-of-way and public infrastructure in the
Village of Cannon Mill Subdivision (Phase I), with dedication to include all of the referenced public
improvements, as follows:
Sewer Utility Infrastructure (Construction Value = $265,100):
10” SDR-35 PVC Sanitary Sewer Main - 1,945 l.f.
8” SDR-35 PVC Sanitary Sewer Main - 2,755 l.f.
6” PVC Sanitary Sewer Laterals - 3,300 l.f. (134 laterals)
4' Diameter Sanitary Sewer Manholes - 24 ea. (214 v.f.)
Water Utility Infrastructure (Construction Value = $162,000):
8” Ductile Iron
(Class 52 Cement Lined) Water Main - 6,100 l.f.
6” Ductile Iron
(Class 52 Cement Lined) Water Main - 255 l.f.
1” K Copper Water Service Lines - 3,600 l.f. (134 services)
8” Gate Valve - 20 ea.
6” Hydrant Valve - 9 ea.
Fire Hydrants - 9 ea.
Page 126
UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 3
Storm Water Infrastructure (Construction Value = $169,700):
Catch Basins - 40 ea.
4’ Diameter Storm Sewer Manholes - 3 ea.
Outfall Structure - 4 ea.
15” Type III Reinforced Concrete Pipe - 1,610 l.f.
18” Type III Reinforced Concrete Pipe - 905 l.f.
24” Type III Reinforced Concrete Pipe - 735 l.f.
30” Type III Reinforced Concrete Pipe - 465 l.f.
Street Infrastructure (0.7348 miles) (Construction Value = $573,900):
Cannon Mill Dr. Station 0+00 to Station 6+50 650 l.f.
East Sheldrake Cir. Station 37+75 to Station 20+50 580 l.f.
West Sheldrake Cir. Station 0+00 to Station 6+00 600 l.f.
Paradee Dr. Station 0+00 to Station 11+00 1,100 l.f.
Quillen St. Station 0+00 to Station 7+00 700 l.f.
Lester Court Station 0+00 to Station 6+00 600 l.f.
Mr. Koenig stated that once these improvements are completed, staff would be working with
Artisans’ Bank, who had purchased a portion of the remainder of the development, to obtain a new
Letter of Credit on this portion. He indicated that when those lots that are in foreclosure are sold to
a new developer, the City would require a Letter of Credit for the balance of the subdivision for the
Village of Cannon Mill.
Responding to Mrs. Williams regarding egresses involving the new Dover High School, Mr. Koenig
stated that the Village of Westover egress is no longer being considered; however, the Village of
Cannon Mill remains as originally proposed. Referring to the map provided, Mr. Koenig stated that
there was a right-of-way that extends to the new Dover High School property. He noted that, in
planning the High School, this was projected to be a road connection; however, that connection was
unfunded and the dedication being considered at this time did not include that length of roadway.
Mrs. Williams questioned if the two (2) projects (the dedication and moving the right-of-way down
the property of the Village of Cannon Mill) could be dovetailed. Responding, Mr. Koenig did not
feel this would be necessary since the additional dedication could be submitted at a later date. With
regard to the school issue, he stated that moving the project down Hazlettville Road would be an
issue to be worked out with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), Agricultural
Land Preservation, and Papen Farms. It was his belief that this project would not be addressed in
the next two (2) years but would be considered in the next five (5) to ten (10) years.
In response to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig indicated that the City received correspondence stating that
the original Letter of Credit from 2005 was rescinded. He advised members that Deputy City
Solicitor Pepper reviewed the letter and had indicated that the City could challenge it in court since
it was not sent certified; however, he stated that this was an unsecured Letter of Credit and the
original developer was no longer involved with this subdivision.
Page 127
UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 4
Mrs. Williams moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation for the acceptance
of the dedication of public infrastructure for The Village of Cannon Mill - Phase I to include
all of the referenced public improvements. The motion was seconded by Mr. Blakeman and
carried with Mr. Perza voting no.
Dedication of Rights-of-Way and Public Infrastructure - Village of Westover- Phase VI
Staff submitted a request for all public infrastructure improvements related to Phase VI of the
Village of Westover to be dedicated to the City of Dover for permanent ownership and maintenance.
Members were provided a list of the public improvements associated with Phase 1. The total
construction value of the public improvements was $1,092,501. Members were provided a map
showing the general location and configuration of the subject rights-of-way.
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the original developer filed for bankruptcy,
which resulted in work stoppage within the subdivision. The final wearing course and punch list
items remained to be completed to meet the City of Dover Standards and Specifications for Public
Works Construction and had been outstanding for many years. The Department was prepared to
complete the work required, pending rights-of-way and public infrastructure dedication.
Mr. Koenig indicated that the City had a Letter of Credit issued by Wilmington Trust, in the
approximate amount of $265,000. He noted that Wilmington Trust had been acquired by M&T Bank
and that staff believed that the Bank would take charge, hire a contractor, and finish the subdivision
in order to avoid the City’s calling the Letter of Credit. However, he stated that in speaking with a
representative of M&T Bank, the City was provided a choice between: 1) going through the extended
process of the bank hiring a contractor on their schedule, or 2) calling the Letter of Credit. He stated
that staff had drafted the call of the Letter of Credit and, once submitted with the site drafts, the bank
would issue a check to the City in the amount of the Letter of Credit (approximately $264,000),
which would allow completion of the top coat of paving and the installation of sidewalks.
Mr. Koenig reiterated that during their meeting scheduled for later in the evening, City Council
would be considering a request for a unit price paving contract and, although it was primarily
associated with the Village of Cannon Mill, it could be extended for the Village of Westover, if
approved by City Council.
Mr. Koenig advised members that there had been several complaints from residents regarding the
appearance of the property and residents felt that the City should take appropriate action. He stated
that some residents had indicated a desire to sell their homes. He noted that a few buildings in the
subdivision had been demolished by the City.
Staff recommended acceptance of the dedication of rights-of-way and public infrastructure in the
Village of Westover Subdivision -Phase VI, with dedication to include all of the referenced public
improvements, as follows:

Margate Circle Station0+18 to Station 2+65 247 l.f.
Mr. Perza relayed concern that banks would not take issuing a Letter of Credit seriously if the City
does not call them. Responding, Mr. Koenig indicated that the Letter of Credit for the Village of
Cannon Mill was issued by the First National Bank of Wyoming and it included a clause that would
allow them to cancel the Letter without approval of the City. He assured members that since then,
the format used in the Letter of Credit issued by Wilmington Trust has been used as the standard.
Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation for the acceptance
of the dedication of public infrastructure for The Village of Westover - Phase VI to include all
of the referenced public improvements. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Williams and
unanimously carried.

Update - Calpine
Mr. Bonar relayed his appreciation to staff for their untiring efforts and work associated with the
Calpine project.
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that staff had been holding weekly conference
calls, as well as weekly face-to-face meetings, with Calpine. He stated that the Calpine Corporation
was prepared to begin work on the temporary road as early as March 1, 2013. They continue to push
their Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor, Kvaerner, Inc., to begin
construction on April 1, 2013 to take possession of the site.
Mr. Koenig stated that staff was currently working on the extension of the water line from the Wild
Meadows Subdivision to the back of the LS Power property. It was anticipated that the pipe would
be delivered on February 26, 2013 to begin the extension in a southerly direction to a point where
water had been requested on the Calpine property. Staff was also working on consulting contracts
for the water tower and the sanitary sewer pumping station, which would serve the entire Garrison
Tract. Concurrently, staff, along with the Becker Morgan Group, was completing the subdivision
plans to lay out and eventually construct the balance of the infrastructure associated with the roads
and storm sewer for the entire Garrison Oak Technical Park.
Mr. Koenig announced that the Calpine Corporation was expected to apply for a building permit for
construction to begin soon after April 1, 2013. Staff was attempting to provide an advance
construction authorization (phasing of construction) so that all of the outside agency approvals would
be lined up when the building permit was issued for the Calpine project. It was anticipated that
Calpine, through Kvaerner, Inc., would mobilize the site and begin earth moving on Lot 7 on
April 1, 2013.
Mr. Koenig stated that Calpine continued to work on the alignment of the feeders that would come
from the Energy Center and tie back to the City’s 230kV tie. In regard to the LS Power complaints
of the plume coming off the energy center in the future and dust during construction, he stated that
it was anticipated that these issues would be resolved within the next few days. He noted that
additional review of Calpine’s air permit application had been requested by an adjacent property
owner. This will be conducted by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control
(DNREC) Environmental Appeals Board. Mr. Koenig felt confident that the project would be well
underway very soon.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Koenig stated that there was a maximum daily demand (running
24/7) for Block 1 in the amount of 2.3M gallons of water and the water tower would hold 1.5M
gallons of water. He indicated that the City would try to constantly feed water into that water tower.
Mr. Bonar advised members that staff was emphatic on ensuring that the fire protection system and
water pressure in the City would be adequately protected.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on February 25, 2013,
at 5:33 p.m. with Chairman Lynn presiding. Members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hare, and
Mr. Rushe. Mr. Shevock was absent. Members of Council present were Council President Leary,
Mr. Dixon, Mr. Perza, Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, and Mr. Hutchison (departed at 5:58 p.m. and returned
at 6:13 p.m.). Mayor Carey was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Rushe moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Anderson and
unanimously carried.
Proposed Charter Amendment - Article II - Mayor and Council, Section 13 - Vacancies;
Forfeiture of Office; Filling of Vacancies (Deferred by Committee on February 11, 2013 Due to
Time Constraints)
At the request of Councilman Anderson, staff prepared a draft amendment to Article II - Mayor and
Council, Section 13 - Vacancies; Forfeiture of Office; Filling of Vacancies of the City of Dover
Charter. This amendment would add a provision for elected officials to designate temporary
successors in the event that they are absent or unable, for physical, mental or legal reasons, to
exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the office for an extended period of time. In
addition, the amendment would change the provisions regarding the filling of vacancies for the
Mayor and Council seats to specify that offices vacated within six (6) months of the next election
would remain vacant until the next election; however, those offices vacated for more than six (6)
months from the next election would be filled through a Special Election.
Members were reminded that Charter Amendments require adoption of a Resolution requesting the
General Assembly to approve the amendments. Upon adoption of the Resolution, staff will forward
it to local legislators for consideration.
Staff recommended approval of the proposed amendments to the City of Dover Charter and adoption
of the subsequent Resolution requesting the General Assembly to amend the City Charter.
Mr. Anderson noted that if an executive position has a temporary vacancy, there is a mechanism to
fill that vacancy. He did not believe that legislative positions were less important and advised
members that many towns across the nation have worked to find ways to get around some of the
political difficulties in filling such positions. He stated that the City Clerk conducted research at his
request and that consideration was given to previous comments made by members of City Council
related to this topic in the development of the proposed amendment, which was modeled after
legislation in other states, particularly Alabama. Mr. Anderson reminded members that the need for
such a mechanism had increased substantially since the terms of office were expanded to four (4)
years.
Mr. Hutchison noted that each Council District had two (2) representatives and that the At-Large
Council Member and the Mayor also serve residents; therefore, each District would still have three
(3) elected representatives in the event of the absence of one (1) member. Responding,
Mr. Anderson felt that the citizens of Dover would be better served if there was a greater likelihood
of having a full Council.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 2
Council President Leary did not recall any problems with obtaining a quorum or other issues as a
result of members of Council being unable to attend meetings. It was his feeling that the proposal
was an attempt to solve a problem that did not exist.
Mr. Perza explained that the integrity of the process being discussed was important. Noting that
members of Council are chosen by City residents, he felt that nominating temporary placeholders
would take away some of the integrity. He advised members that if he were in a situation that would
impact those who elected him to serve by causing him to step away for an extended period of time
he would resign, and he felt that it would be incumbent on the person holding office to consider
resignation. Although the reasons for proposing the amendment were to cover military and other
legitimate absences, he cautioned members of potential abuse by members of Council who may not
want to vote on a particular issue and choose to take a lengthy vacation.
Concurring with Mr. Lynn, Mr. Hare suggested that members consider the proposed amendment if
it were felt that such a vacancy would be detrimental to conducting City Council business.
Mr. Bonar expressed his opinion that the intent of the request for a Charter change was well founded;
however, in listening to the comments relayed by members, he felt that the rationale for placing trust
in the body of City Council as currently structured seemed sound. He concurred with
Mr. Hutchison’s comments, stating that although members of Council are elected by district, they
serve the entire City and would assist any district affected by a member of Council who was absent
for any reason.
In response to concerns of possible abuse, Mr. Anderson noted that the proposed amendment was
specifically for members who are absent due to physical, mental, or legal reasons. Responding to
Mr. Lynn, Mr. Anderson stated that the proposed amendment had not been reviewed by the City
Solicitor’s Office.
Responding to Mr. Lynn’s suggestion to table the matter to allow for review by the City Solicitor,
Mr. Perza stated his objections, explaining that he had not heard enough support to justify the legal
expense. If there were no consensus to move forward, he felt that there was no need to spend
additional resources studying the issue.
Mr. Hare moved for the issue to be presented to City Council for their consideration without
a recommendation from the Committee, seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried with
Mr. Lynn voting no.
Proposed Charter Amendment - Article II - Mayor and Council, Section 5 - Council to Be
Legislative Body; size; Districts; Terms of Mayor and Councilmen; Qualifications (Deferred
by Committee on February 11, 2013 Due to Time Constraints)
Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, advised members that it was recently brought to staff’s attention
that the current wording of Article II - Mayor and Council, Section 5 - Council to be Legislative
Body; Size; Districts; Terms of Mayor and Councilmen; Qualifications, indicates that in order to be
eligible to be elected as mayor or as a member of council, the person must, as of the date of the
Page 134
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 3
election, be: (4) Eighteen years of age. This amendment would correct that language to be “Eighteen
years of age or older.” She also noted that additional amendments were proposed to make the
language in this section more concise.
Members were reminded that Charter Amendments require adoption of a Resolution requesting the
General Assembly to approve the amendments. Upon adoption of the Resolution, staff would
forward it to local legislators for submission.
Staff recommended approval of the proposed amendments to the City of Dover Charter and adoption
of the subsequent Resolution requesting the General Assembly to amend the City Charter.
Mr. Anderson moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation and adoption of the
Resolution requesting the General Assembly to approve the Charter Amendments. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.
Proposed Charter Amendment - Article I - Powers of the City, Section 1.05 - Procedure to
Extend Boundaries (Deferred by Committee on February 11, 2013 Due to Time Constraints)
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members
that the Planning Office and City Clerk's Office began working on a Charter Amendment regarding
annexation several years ago when the City was receiving a lot of interest in annexation. She stated
that the Charter currently requires that all petitions for annexation be subject to an election of the
owners and residents of the property proposed for annexation. In reviewing many annexation
requests, it became apparent that the added step of an election in cases where the only person(s)
voting were those who requested annexation was an inefficient use of City staff and financial
resources, as well as an added burden to the property owner(s). She stated that a Charter amendment
was required to eliminate this unnecessary step.
Mrs. Townshend explained that the proposed Charter amendment developed by staff would eliminate
the requirement for an election when the property owner had requested annexation of their property.
However, the proposal would require an election in the cases where the entirety of the area proposed
for annexation was not the subject of a request from the property owners. As proposed, she assured
members that the City would not be able to annex land against the owner's wishes without the
opportunity for the owner to vote in an election. She stated that the proposed Charter amendment
would simplify the annexation process and reduce unnecessary costs but still allow property owners
a vote if their property were the subject of an annexation proposal that was not petitioned by the
owners.
Members were reminded that Charter Amendments require adoption of a Resolution requesting the
General Assembly to approve the amendments. Upon adoption of the Resolution, staff would
forward it to local legislators for submission.
Staff recommended approval of the proposed amendments to the City of Dover Charter and adoption
of the subsequent Resolution requesting the General Assembly to amend the City Charter.

Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation and adoption of the
Resolution requesting the General Assembly to approve the Charter Amendments. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously carried.
Disposal of Excess Property - Justice of the Peace (JP) Court 7 and 16
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the City received a request from Cabe
Associates, Inc. and Delaware Architects, LLC on behalf of the State of Delaware, Administrative
Office of the Court, to potentially expand the existing Justice of the Peace (JP) Court 7 and 16
building located at the intersection of Bank Lane and West Street immediately adjacent to the Dover
Police Department. The proposed court expansion is desired in order to meet the area’s growing
needs for court facilities. At this time, only the JP Court 7 and 16 building footprint is owned by the
State of Delaware. In order for the court to expand, the City of Dover must agree to dispose of any
surrounding land required to accommodate the proposed expansion.
Mr. Koenig explained that since the engineers and architects were in the early planning stages, exact
land requirements were unknown at this time; therefore, he envisioned the request to be a two (2)
step process. The first step would be to receive approval from City Council for the City Manager
to become a co-applicant, along with the State of Delaware, on a site plan application for the
proposed expansion. He stated that the site plan and facilities planning process would identify the
exact amount of land that would be needed by the court to expand. Once the exact amount of land
was known, the City Manager would fully initiate the Procedures for Sale and Disposal of Real
Property and return to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee with a specific
recommendation regarding the transfer of any land necessary to accommodate the proposed
expansion of the court.
Mr. Koenig assured members that staff would work closely with the project engineer, project
architect, representatives from the State of Delaware, and the Dover Police Department to design a
project that would meet the needs of the Court while addressing any operational concerns of the
Dover Police Department, since they are the adjoining property owner.
Staff recommended that the City Manager be authorized to become a co-applicant, along with the
State of Delaware, on a site plan application to expand JP Court 7 and 16 located at the intersection
of Bank Lane and West Street. Once the amount of land necessary to accommodate the proposed
expansion is known, the City Manager would return to the Committee with a recommendation
regarding the disposal of City property necessary to accommodate the proposed expansion.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig confirmed that the State of Delaware would be bearing
all costs associated with this matter.
Mr. Hutchison questioned if staff had considered the open space adjacent to the Police Station on
the southwest corner. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that there had not been any recent discussions;
however, he felt that the JP Court 7 and 16 expansion may reignite that interest. Mr. Hutchison
advised members that approximately 50 people work in JP Court 7 and 16 and noted the convenience
Page 136
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 25, 2013 PAGE 5
of the Court’s location for police officers due to its close proximity to the Police Station. He urged
members to support the request and approve staff’s recommendation. Due to his wife’s employment
at the Court, he advised members that he would not be voting on this issue.
Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation authorizing the City
Manager to become a co-applicant, along with the State of Delaware, on a site plan application
to expand JP Court 7 and 16 located at the intersection of Bank Lane and West Street; once
the amount of land necessary to accommodate the proposed expansion is known, the City
Manager will return to the Committee with a recommendation regarding the disposal of City
property necessary to accommodate the proposed expansion. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.
By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 6:16 P.M.

• On Sunday January 13, 2013 at approximately 2100 hours, two white male suspects wearing hooded sweatshirts entered
the Walgreens Pharmacy located at 1215 S. State St. and displayed a large hunting knife, then demanded money from
the clerk. They fled the business eastbound on foot on Roosevelt Ave with an undetermined amount of cash. One suspect
was described as 5’10”-6’stocky build with a goatee, 25-35 years of age. The other was described as same height,
medium build in his 50’s. No one was injured during the incident.
• On Sunday January 13, 2013 at approximately 1830 hours, a dark colored vehicle pulled up in front of a residence in the
unit block of Ann Ave and approximately 5 to 6 shots were fired into the residence and at the open garage where two
people were seated. A 44 year old female was struck in the back by what appeared to be a ricochet or small fragment
from the round. The victim was treated and released from Bay Health for the minor injury. Shell casings recovered at the
scene indicated a 9mm handgun was used.
• On January 16, 2013 the Dover Police arrested defendant, 28, of Columbia MD, for two counts of Rape 3rd after
investigation revealed that he had a sexual relationship with a 15 year old female. Defendant was apprehended by
detectives at a hotel in Dover where he came to meet the victim.
• The Dover Police Criminal Investigation Unit would like to make citizens aware of a scam being advertised on Craig’s List.
Detectives have taken several complaints from victims who have used Craig’s List to locate apartments and or rental
homes in the Dover area. The victims have contacted an individual who has them sign a contract and provide money up
front. The locations in question are already legally occupied and unable to be leased. The victims are then unable to re-
contact the scammers after the money is provided. Just use caution if you are in the market to rent and are conducting
business solely through the internet.
• On Friday January 18, 2013, officers from the Dover Police Department Drug, Vice and Organized Crime Unit along with
the Safe Streets Unit executed a search warrant at 170 Mitscher Road, Dover. As a result of the search warrant officers
located 110 bags of heroin, $6,003.00, 7 grams marijuana, .4 grams cocaine, one 9mm semiautomatic handgun, one 44
magnum revolver and arrested two adult male defendants.
• On Sunday January 20 at approximately 0600 hours, a 30 year old female victim awoke to find an acquaintance having
sexual intercourse with her without her consent. The victim and several friends rented a room at a Dover Hotel on S.
DuPont Hwy Saturday for a small party. One female witness invited several friends to the room, which included the
suspect. Sometime during the early hours on Sunday the victim went into her room and fell asleep as several guests
remained in the other room. At approximately 0600 the victim awoke to find the defendant, 26, having sex with her. As the
victim realized what was happening she kicked the defendant off of her and ran into the bathroom with her clothes that he
had removed. The victim began screaming and the defendant fled on foot. Officers located the defendant a short distance
from the hotel and placed him in custody.
• On Sunday January 20 at approximately 0130 hours an 18 year old male victim was driving south bound in the Unit Block
of South Governors Avenue. The victim observed an SUV turning around in the street and he stopped. Victim also
observed a large group of subjects standing just beyond the SUV. Victim then observed a male wearing all black clothing
pointing a gun in his direction. The suspect then fired several rounds striking the victims vehicle. The victim reversed and
fled without be injured. Officers responded and discovered a parked vehicle was also damaged by gunfire. This incident is
believed to stem from an earlier altercation and that the person in the SUV was the possible target and victim was caught
in the cross fire. On Friday, January 25, 2013 Dover Police Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Unit/Detective
Section with assistance from Detectives from the Drug, Vice and Organized Crime Section along with Operation Safe
Streets obtained arrest warrants for the defendant, BM 26, for the above shooting on S. Governor’s Avenue. Their
investigation revealed the shooting was a result of a physical altercation that occurred IFO 26 S. Governors Avenue
involving numerous subjects. Defendant was arrested a short time later by the Community Policing Section without
incident.
• On Sunday January 20 at approximately 0050 hours a Dover Police K-9 officer was patrolling the downtown area when he
heard a subject screaming for the police while being chased by two suspects in the 100 block of South Governors
Avenue. As the officer drove towards them, the suspects fled to a waiting vehicle. The officer pursued the vehicle onto S.
New Street where it pulled over. With the assistance of additional Dover officers, three suspects were taken into custody,
a small caliber handgun and three bandanas were also confiscated from the vehicle. It was determined that two of the
suspects had covered their faces with the bandanas, displayed the handgun at the victim and demanded money while the
third suspect waited in the vehicle to drive them from the scene; the victim fled when he observed the patrol car. Three
defendants were arrested.
• On Tuesday January 22, 2013 at approximately 1230 hours, the Dover Police responded to the Sleep Inn, located at 1784
N. DuPont Hwy, for a report of a handgun left in one of the rooms. Detectives found a .25 cal handgun, and both .25 and
9mm ammunition, along with multiple items of drug paraphernalia in the room. Investigation revealed that the defendant,
BM of Chestertown MD, had possessed these items. Officers awaited his return to the hotel after determining that he was
Page 158
a person prohibited from possessing a firearm. Upon his return, he fled in a vehicle and nearly struck one of the officers. A
pursuit ensued which ended in the WalMart Parking lot north of Dover where defendant was apprehended and found to be
a fugitive from Maryland.
• On Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 2317 hours, the Dover Police Department Drug, Vice and Organized Crime Unit along
with Operation Safe Streets Unit stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation. Officers then observed the front passenger
attempting to swallow a bag of suspected marijuana. After officers removed the suspect from the vehicle, he attempted to

• On January 29, 2013 at approximately 1130 hours, the Dover Police received a report of a burglary in progress in the 400
block of Cold Spring Place. The two suspects, 16 and 17 years of age, were damaging the rear door attempting to gain
entry into the residence. Responding officers then stopped the two suspects as they were leaving the area in a white
BMW and apprehended both during the traffic stop. A search of the vehicle yielded stolen property from several burglaries
in the Dover area. Defendants were charged with burglaries and related charges from Green Blade Dr., Seskinore Ct.,
Bacon Ave., and Nimitz Rd., as well as the attempted burglary at Cold Spring Pl..
• On January 29, 2013 the Dover Police arrested defendant. WM 25 of Dover, for a string of burglaries occurring on the

JERRY'S PAVING INC. MILFORD, DE $283, 959.67 $266, 517.90
*Evaluated Bid based on Local Vendor Preference
The Cannon Mill Paving Improvements Program contract documents allow staff to alter quantities up to 35%
without changes to unit prices; therefore, the contract final value may be adjusted to reflect all available
funding. Harmony Construction Co. submitted all of the contractor’s qualification information, which
included a list of recently completed projects similar in scope, as well as a financial statement, that were all
found to be adequate. It is staff’s opinion that the bid represents fair market value and their qualifications are
in accordance with the requirements of this project. In conclusion, staff recommends awarding a construction
contract to Harmony Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $275, 854.27 for the Cannon Mill Paving
Improvement Program contingent upon acceptance of infrastructure dedication by City Council.
Representative Scott has committed $100,000 in new community transportation funds to offset the cost of
these improvements and staff is also seeking funding from other leg to provide additional offsets of cost.

RELATED PROJECT: Inflow / Infiltration Removal
APPROVALS: City Manager and Controller
EXHIBITS: Attachment A (Site Plan), Attachment B (Change Order Submission)
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $57,622 (Original Approved Bid - $105,500) AMOUNT BUDGETED: $175,000
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Wastewater Management, Inflow / Infiltration Removal, CIP Account
Number 417-6900-569.40-31, Project #II1305. This is one component of the tasks proposed within this project.
TIME T TIMETABLE: Upon approval, project should be completed within six (6) weeks.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approval of change order request, submitted by Tri-State Grouting, LLC, in the
amount of $57,622.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
This project, which was approved by Council on October 22, 2012, began in earnest in late January. The contractor, Tri-State
Grouting, LLC, has experienced significant unforeseen challenges that need to be addressed in order to accomplish the project
assigned to them by the City of Dover. The following tabulation depicts the issues encountered on this project:
ISSUE DESCRIPTION COST
Additional Joints Original plan called for one joint to be repaired, due to the large volume of flow in pipe,
to be original video could not detect additional issues. $3,000
Rehabilitated
Increase in Pump To repair this sanitary sewer main, a bypass pump system was to be installed by the
Size contractor, they were told to bypass a six-inch (6”) pipe and a fifteen (15”) pipe, actual field $3,000
conditions merited bypassing two (2) fifteen-inch (15”) pipes.
Topsoil and Seed Due to the infiltration, a sink hole has been created on this site. The bid documents did not
Sinkhole call out for site restoration if the non-evasive rehabilitation option was chosen (Tri-State $1,250
Grouting proposed relining).
Contractor Lost An additional infiltration point was identified in the pipe after the pipe was bypassed. This
Time was not identified because of the volume of flow in the pipe when the original video survey
was conducted. The contractor had their labor and sub-contractors on site to and scheduled $26,427
to work that week to finalize the liner. Due to the new leak, the work could not be
accomplished. The warranty on the liner would be voided had they proceeded.
Well Pointing In an effort to stop the infiltration long enough to install the relining material to a dry
surface, the contractor has proposed well pointing the perimeter of the existing sanitary $14,445
sewer main. This method has been approved by staff on a technical basis.
Infiltration Patch To properly stop the infiltration and reassure that the relining material will not fail, a point
$3,800
repair was proposed for the infiltration location within the pipe.
Heavy Cleaning of Due to the infiltration, a large amount of sediment has built up inside the sewer main, $5,400
Sewer Main properly cleaning the main will assure a proper installation of the relining material.
TOTAL CHANGE ORDER COST $57,622
Staff believes that the above change orders are reasonable and are needed to properly finish the project. In accordance with
the City of Dover Purchasing Policy & Procedures, Section 3.10, staff respectfully requests Council Approval for this Change
Order.

PREPARED BY: Sharon J. Duca, P.E., Public Works Director / City Engineer
SUBJECT: Evaluation of Bids – Mowing Contract
REFERENCE: N/A
RELATED PROJECT: N/A
APPROVALS: City Manager, Controller
EXHIBITS: Exhibit 1 – Grass Areas for Contract Maps
Exhibit 2 – Proposed Mowing Contract Costs
Exhibit 3 – Proposed Mowing Contract Costs by Division
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $ 11,745.00 FY 2013 Spring $ 32,820.00 CY 2013 Mowing Season
AMOUNT BUDGETED: $ 10,000 FY 2013 $ 33,000 FY 2014 Proposed
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Public Works Grounds Division Operating Budget, Page
263, Account No.: 110-1500-522.30-31. It is requested that the deficit be accounted for through savings
realized in the 10 series due to staffing shortages in FY 2013.
TIME TIMETABLE: Notice to Proceed to be issued within 30 days of Council approval. FY 2013 work will
occur from April 15, 2013 to June 30, 2013.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Award a mowing contract to Priority Services LLC in the amount of $32,820.00
for the CY 2013 mowing season.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City of Dover has been evaluating services performed by the City that can be privatized. Due to
resignations and retirements within the Grounds Division of the Department of Public Works, as well as the
need to avoid high employee and worker’s compensation costs, the contracting out of some of the mowing
services has been reviewed by the Department. The areas under consideration consist primarily of those that
require a considerable amount of staff time investment, particularly in that mobilization can require as much,
if not more, time as the work itself.
Staff made contact with Priority Services LLC, the company which currently holds the State mowing contract.
They submitted prices for the locations identified within the exhibits and noted that they would maintain the
prices throughout the mowing season rather than just the current fiscal year. $10,000 is currently available
within the Grounds Division’s operating budget and savings have also been realized due to staffing shortages.
In addition, the line item budget for this work has been submitted to be increased to cover annualized costs,
which is offset by staffing reductions.
Staff recommends awarding a mowing contract to Priority Services LLC in the amount of $32,820.00 for the CY
2013 mowing season.
