Z-21-05 Lands of Draper Farm Properties at 1617 Forrest Avenue (5-Acre parcel): Rezoning R-10 with COZ-1 to C-2A Item #1. with COZ-1 Planning Commission Recommendation Report of June 21, 2021 Page 2 Planning Commission Recommendation: The Application (Z-21-05) for Rezoning of 1617 Forrest Avenue was represented the applicant’s engineering firm. A Public Hearing was conducted on June 21, 2021 where thirteen (13) members of the public spoke regarding the Rezoning application and over twenty-one (21) written comment items were received (See Public Comment Sets). The Planning Commission recommends to not approve the proposed Rezoning from R-10 with COZ-1 to C-2A with COZ-1 by a vote of 8-0 (one member was absent). Therefore, the Planning Commission recommends denial of the Rezoning Request. (Draft Meeting Minutes attached.) APPLICATION: Z-21-05 Lands of Draper Farm Properties, LLC at 1617 Forrest Avenue: Rezoning R-10 with COZ-1 to C-2A with COZ-1 I. APPLICATION SUMMARY This Rezoning Application is for a parcel of land consisting of 5.04 acres. The property is zoned R-10 (One Family Residence Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The property is located on the north side of Forrest Avenue and adjacent to Cranberry Run Drive. The owner of record is Draper Farm Properties LLC. Property Address: 1617 Forrest Avenue. Tax Parcel: ED-05-075.00-01-07.00-000. Council District 1. Ordinance #2021-14. Existing Property: The property consisted of 5.04 acres is located at the northeast corner of Forrest Avenue and Cranberry Run Drive. The property has frontage of over 750 feet along Forrest Avenue/Route 8 and frontage of over 300 feet on Cranberry Run Drive. The property has a farmstead location (previous dwelling now demolished) and a series of accessory structures that appeared to have served as agricultural buildings. A majority of the property has been in agricultural cultivation. Both street frontages have existing sidewalks and existing curb cuts for the former dwelling location (from Forrest Avenue) and to the field/ accessory structures (from Cranberry Run Drive). This application only seeks rezoning of the property from R-10 to C-2A; the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) designation will remain. The applicant is seeking rezoning to allow for future development of the property. They identified a potential use as a Convenience Store with Fuel Pump. Under the Zoning Ordinance, the Convenience Store would be considered a permitted use a retail store and the fuel pumps would be an accessory use requiring Conditional Use approval. The redevelopment of the site will be subject to a separate application submission. Previous Application: This property was subject to a Request during the review process for the adoption of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan. As Request for Changes to DRAFT 2019 Comprehensive Plan - Request Page 6

Z-21-05 Lands of Draper Farm Properties at 1617 Forrest Avenue (5-Acre parcel): Rezoning R-10 with COZ-1 to C-2A Item #1. with COZ-1 Planning Commission Recommendation Report of June 21, 2021 Page 3 #1, the property owner requested a change in the Land Use Classification (on Land Development Plan Map 12-1) from the proposed Residential Medium Density Land Use Classification to Mixed Use or Commercial Land Use Classification. On December 16, 2019, the Planning Commission recommended (by a vote of 5-2) a Land Use Classification of Mixed Use. Then, the Land Use Classification Category of Mixed Use for this property was approved by City Council on January 13, 2020 as part of the review and adoption of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan document and maps. Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding parcels are zoned residential. The properties immediately adjacent on the north and to the west of the property are zoned R-10 (One Family Residence Zone). This is a residential subdivision of single family detached dwellings known as Cranberry Run. Adjacent to the east are properties zoned RM-1 (Residential Medium Density Zone) as another residential subdivision of Heatherfield consisting of single family detached dwellings and duplexes along Stoney Drive. There are more residential developments along Forrest Avenue as you move east until to each the extensive commercial corridor which starts about Mifflin Road and continues east. Across Forrest Avenue/Route 8 to the south are a series of nine (9) parcels with eight (8) single family detached dwellings located under Kent County’s jurisdiction. Also, to the south (and surrounding these residences) is the campus of the Dover High School. Access to the Dover High School, is via Dover High Drive with its signalized intersection with Forrest Avenue (0.36 miles west of the subject site) and at the campus entrance with HAWK Signal at the intersection of Heatherfield Way and Forrest Avenue. II. COMPRENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE REVIEW In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1) recommends that this property be used for Mixed Use. Regarding Mixed Use Areas and the Land Use Classification of Mixed Use, this is discussed in Chapter 12 – Land Development Plan beginning on page 12-7. The goals and for Mixed Use Areas Land Use are listed in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan excerpts presented below: Goals: Mixed Land Use The overall goals for Mixed Use areas are: 1. Encourage creation of neighborhood centers. 2. Within the close-knit neighborhood fabric there are opportunities for the creation of urban centers. These centers should be established along major roadways and feature mixed use development, pedestrian-friendly public environments and opportunities for connection to future transit. 3. In order to encourage non-automobile access to the center, the activities should be clustered within a one-half mile radius (or 10-minute walk) and be located so as to draw upon residents from a number of surrounding neighborhoods. 4. Develop strategies that will encourage the creation of well-defined public street spaces and pedestrian-friendly village areas that encourage walking and bicycle use. This may Page 7

Improve access that limits public access to open spaces areas such as pedestrian, bicycle, and transit networks to parks and natural areas. 6. Encourage the Mixed Use of residential and commercial uses in the Downtown area. The Comprehensive Plan notes that Mixed Use Areas “can be an area where a new development should foster walkability and close interactions among activities and uses in a traditional neighborhood setting.” Chapter 9 – Transportation Plan from the Comprehensive Plan identifies Forrest Avenue/Route 8 as a Minor Arterial Street and the need to focus efforts on improvements along the Route 8 corridor “that would improve safety, better manage access, reduce congestions, and provide improved traffic flow.” The development and implementation of strategies for addressing East/West Traffic in the City is Recommendation 7 from that Chapter. The Rezoning Request to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) is consistent with the Land Use Classification of Mixed Use. Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix (from the 2019 Comprehensive Plan) specifies that the following zones are compatible with this land use classification. See the excerpt from Table 12-1 given below. It is noted that Table 12-1 for the Mixed Use Land Use Category identifies other zoning districts that allow for a mixed of commercial and residential uses but may be more limiting in the specific types of uses permitted. C-2 (Central Commercial) (Downtown Redevelopment Target Area Only) C-2A (Limited Central Commercial) TND (Traditional Neighborhood Design) C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) C-1A (Limited Commercial) RGO (General Residence and Office) (Downtown Redevelopment Target Area Only) Mixed-Use R-8 (One Family Residence) R-10 (One Family Residence) RG-1 (General Residence) RG-2 (General Residence) RG-4 (General Resident - Multi-Story Apartments) C-3 (Service Commercial) CPO (Commercial and Professional Office) IO (Institutional and Office) III. ZONING REVIEW Request for C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) Zoning The types of permitted uses and conditional uses in the C-2A zone are given Article 3 §14 of the Zoning Ordinance.

The concept should lend itself to interconnectivity while presenting building structures as aspects of the street, not simply islands existing in the "sea of roads". The design should encourage fewer car-trips, as well as promote automobile trips on an interconnected local street system rather than trips that utilize the arterials. In demonstrating superior urban design, an applicant must show that the plan presented exceeds the requirements of the zoning ordinance in at least two of the following areas: (i) Transportation amenities for bicycles, pedestrians and transit that exceed those required by the zoning ordinance; (ii) Architectural features including, but not limited to: LEED-certified buildings; unique architecture not replicated in other locations; use of architectural elements such as entry porticos, porte-cocheres, colonnades, cornices, porch columns and balusters, band courses, coins, water tables and other trim that enhances visual quality and function of the structure; and use of the highest-quality construction materials. (iii) Landscaping that exceeds the requirements of this section, including robust use of trees, shrubbery, and flowering plants to screen parked cars; water gardens and ponds; arboretums; tree preservation measures; (iv) Public spaces and art including, but not limited to, sculpture, memorials, murals, public court yards and pocket parks, and fountains; (v) Green technologies for stormwater management, as well as green energy technologies such as geothermal heating and cooling and solar energy supplies.

When a property is located on the corner of two corridors within the Corridor Overlay Zone, only one of the two corridors shall be subject to the requirements of Section 27.61 Setbacks and Section 27.63 Parking, Subsection (a) Location. The frontage of the property on which the identifiable front of the building is located shall be the frontage that is subject to the requirements of Section 27.61 And Section 27.63, Subsection (a). In designing the site, in order to qualify for the relief under this subsection, the applicant must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the planning commission that the design incorporates the principles of superior urban design as defined in Section 27.2. IV. RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING STAFF: This Request is to rezone lands from R-10 (One Family Residence Zone) to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone). The property would remain subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The permitted uses allowed in the current zoning district of R-10 focus on residential uses as one-family detached residences and also provides the ability for consideration of conditional uses for places of worship, schools, and certain other institutional types uses. The proposed Rezoning to C-2A zone is a zoning district offering a mix of uses. For the C-2A zone, the range of permitted uses that are commercial uses include retail, office, personal service & Page 14

Z-21-05 Lands of Draper Farm Properties at 1617 Forrest Avenue (5-Acre parcel): Rezoning R-10 with COZ-1 to C-2A Item #1. with COZ-1 Planning Commission Recommendation Report of June 21, 2021 Page 11 service establishments, restaurants, and places of public assembly. The C-2A zone also includes permitted uses that are residential in nature including one-family residences (detached dwellings and duplex units), apartments and multi-family dwellings (more than 2 dwelling units in same building). The C-2A zone also includes conditional uses (uses subject to specific review for approval) for parking lots/structures and for fuel pumps as accessory to a permitted use. Staff recommends that the rezoning for C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) while retaining the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) be granted as requested, as the proposed zoning is consistent with the 2019 Comprehensive Plan (as amended) for the Mixed Use Land Use Classification Category. Staff also recommends that the property remain subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) due to its frontage on Forest Street. The purposes of the COZ-1 are to promote superior urban corridor development; to foster coordination and linkage among corridor properties; to preserve functionality and efficiency of the roadway for traffic movement; and to achieve a visually balanced streetscape environment friendly to the pedestrian and motorist. (Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §27). The COZ-1 includes a number of additional buffers/setbacks, landscaping enhancements, and site layout design requirements. This area is part of the gateway leading into the City of Dover and is also along a key west-east corridor in the transportation system. The area is a transition from the rural areas west of Dover as the corridor becomes residential and then a more heavily commercial area as it moves towards the central core of the City. However, given the residential character surrounding this subject property, a different zoning district allowable by the Land Use and Zoning Matrix could also be considered that would allow for smaller scale community activity in this portion of the corridor to serve the local residential area. This Rezoning Request does not grant approval of a specific use for the property but makes its land use subject to a listing of uses permitted and potential conditional uses as allowed in the C-2A zoning district. Staff again notes that any potential development for the site would have to be in line with the zoning classifications and would similarly have to follow all development design guidelines of the Zoning Ordinance. Were the application for Rezoning to be recommended by the Planning Commission and subsequently approved by the City Council, the applicant would still have to submit Site Development Plans for review for any use of the site to be established. Staff notes that the parcel proposed for Rezoning meets the 100-foot lot depth requirement of the C-2A zone. Any non-conformity of the existing buildings’ uses and placement regarding the bulk standards of the C-2A and COZ-1 would be subject to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Article 7 – Nonconforming Buildings and Uses. Any development of the property once zoned C-2A with the COZ-1 would be subject to the bulk standards and provisions and the review processes for site development. This recommendation is being made without that benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding landowners and residents. A public hearing is required on this matter and the Planning Commission should give those comments consideration. V. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: Page 15

Z-21-05 Lands of Draper Farm Properties at 1617 Forrest Avenue (5-Acre parcel): Rezoning R-10 with COZ-1 to C-2A Item #1. with COZ-1 Planning Commission Recommendation Report of June 21, 2021 Page 12 1) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any rezoning application does not represent Site Development Plan or Record Plan approval. Following any decision made by City Council in regard to this rezoning, then an application for a Site Plan, Subdivision Plan, and/or appropriate Building Permits must be submitted to the Planning Department prior to the establishment of a use, development activity, or any construction activity on the site. The applicant should contact the Planning Staff to determine the appropriate review process for any proposed projects. 2) The property is subject to the requirements of the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) related to development. 3) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any rezoning application does not represent a Building Permit, Sign Permit or other construction activity permit approval. A separate application submission is required before issuance of permits by the City of Dover. 4) The applicant shall be aware that any future use of the existing structures may be subject to a separate permitting or licensing process through the City of Dover Licensing and Permitting Division. All businesses operating in the City of Dover are required to obtain a City of Dover Business Licenses. Certain types of uses also require a Public Occupancy Permit or Rental Dwelling Permits. RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION: At the Virtual Planning Commission Meeting of June 21, 2021, the Application (Z-21-04) was represented by Jonathan Street of the application’s engineering firm the Becker Morgan Group and Mr. Doug Walker as a representative of the application. During the Public Hearing, thirteen (13) members of the public spoke regarding the Rezoning application. Written Comments (21 items) on the Rezoning application were also received; see Public Comments Sets. The Planning Commission’s motion recommended to not approve the proposed Rezoning from R-10 with COZ-1 to C-2A with COZ-1 by a vote of 8-0 (one member was absent). Therefore, the Planning Commission recommends denial of the Rezoning Request. (Draft Meeting Minutes attached.)

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To Whom It May Concern: We are long time residents of Cranberry Run Development and have lived in the development since September of 1998. We are writing this email in response to a Notice of Hearing on an application to the City of Dover for commercial rezoning of part of the development's frontage. It is our understanding that this is essentially on a proposal to convert the subject area to a cluster of commercial establishments. We would like to go on record with our objections to this rezoning initiative as it is our desire to retain the quiet residential character of our immediate surroundings. We have enjoyed this environment for over 20 years. The prospect of living in a quiet and almost rustic setting was what attracted us to the property almost 25 years ago. With this tranquil environment , we created memories of raising our young family and it is these memories of our early days as a family that our children continue to go home to , or would want to come back and revisit. The advent of hyper development and urban sprawl drastically erases those memories as well as the character of what we have always loved as a peaceful space we call home. For whatever our insights amount to , in the process of building a consensus toward deciding on the initiative--- we would like to weigh in on the side of the opposition. Keep the property's residential character the way it has always been. Sincerely, Jaime G. and Lenni Palanca 110 Falmouth Way Dover, DE 19904 p.s.: We may reconsider if the applicant is amenable to a WAWA convenience store being built right next to their place of residence.

We have lived on Forrest Avenue for 53 years, and know how it has changed over the years, especially with the new Dover High School. The traffic is very bad at different times of the day. I watch the youth crossing the road in different spots, not always at the hawk light. If a store is put across from the school that could be very dangerous with the youth coming back and forth. Plus with the cars turning into the store and coming out makes more problems on a already busy area. This area is a residential area with two developments next door. It will not add anything to the area. Just down the road we already have a MacDonald’s, WaWa and gas station, plus shopping center! Please consider turning this application down! Thank you for the opportunity to make our voices heard. Sincerely, Richard and Victoria Stoops 1590 Forrest Avenue Dover, DE Sent from my iPad Page 30

Approval of this proposal will greatly increase the danger of severe vehicle and pedestrian accidents. Richard Smith Sent from my iPad Page 32

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I am a 18year resident of 1618 Forrest Ave Dover, De. 19904. I am totally against this rezoning. Traffic in front of our home is already very congested; not to mention Rt 8 is an emergency route. The children walking to and from Dover High School will be in even greater danger of traffic injuries if re-zoned a convenience store built as proposed. Many people use the Dover High school sidewalks to jog, walk dogs, walk with family etc at all times of day and night. To change the zoning and to add commercial store would only Amplify Adverse issue with traffic and safety of our mainly residential area. I am against this application for re-zoning.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I am a 18year resident of 1618 Forrest Ave Dover, De. 19904. I am totally against this rezoning. Traffic in front of our home is already very congested; not to mention Rt 8 is an emergency route. The children walking to and from Dover High School will be in even greater danger of traffic injuries if re-zoned a convenience store built as proposed. Many people use the Dover High school sidewalks to jog, walk dogs, walk with family etc at all times of day and night. To change the zoning and to add commercial store would only Amplify Adverse issue with traffic and safety of our mainly residential area. Not to even mention how many more traffic accidents will happen. I am against this application for re-zoning. Jack Sutton Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android Page 34

I am adamantly opposed to the Draper Farms request to rezone 5 acres on Forrest Ave. to build a convenience store. I live in Cranberry Run within steps of that property and that is not who I want to have as a neighbor!!!!!!!!!!!! What an awful thing to do to some very nice neighborhoods. Traffic problems on route 8 are bad enough. A convenience store with gas pumps will only make it things worse. The only appropriate use for this land is single family dwellings. Anything else is just madness. Do you want a convenience store in the middle of YOUR neighborhood? Rnesline@verizon.net Page 35

Item #1. From: Jessica Parcher To: CompPlan Subject: EXTERNAL: Rezoning of Rt.8 property Date: Saturday, June 19, 2021 4:31:20 PM WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hello, my name is Jessica and I am a resident of the Heatherfield neighborhood. As I may not be able to attend the public hearing on June 21st, I wanted to express my concerns over the rezoning of the 5 acres of land on Forrest Ave. I feel that making this area into a commercial zone will exacerbate the already present traffic congestion, potentially decrease property values to homes adjacent to what is being built, and impair the residential character of our quite and safe neighborhoods. Additionally, this change may potentiate hazards to the children going to and from school on foot. I sincerely hope that my concerns and the concerns of many others in the surrounding neighborhoods are taken seriously, and that this zoning change does not go through. Thank you for your time.

Item #1. From: Conner Mahoney To: CompPlan Subject: EXTERNAL: Concern Regarding rezoning near Stoney Dr and Rt 8 Date: Saturday, June 19, 2021 4:55:04 PM WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To whom it may concern, While I understand that growth is necessary for a city, the current plan to rezone the area near Heatherfield into a gas station(or any other commercial area) will only compound the problems this area already faces. These issues namely being traffic problems, speeding problems, and problems with litter, all of which seem to not be taken care of by anyone in the first place. I realize that these responsibilities do not necessarily fall on the City of Dover; I am stating that proper maintanence and safeguarding are not being upheld in this area as-is, and a gas station will only exacerbate these problems. As it stands now, I dissent with the current plan to rezone these 5 acres into commercial property. This opinion is based on the idea that the problems already affecting Heatherfield, as well as the area around it, will not be considerably managed after the introduction of commercial properties such as those planned. Thank you for your consideration, Conner Mahoney Page 37

Item #1. From: Jean Ritter To: CompPlan Subject: EXTERNAL: Rezoning Draper Farms PropertiesLLC Date: Sunday, June 20, 2021 7:16:15 PM WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Planning Commission Members: I am writing this email to express my concerns about the proposed rezoning of the property owned by Draper Farms Properties, LLC located On Forrest Ave, Route 8, Dover, DE. Currently this property is zoned as R-10 and COZ-1; proposed zoning would be C-2A and COZ-1. This change in zoning is totally inappropriate for this land. The current zoning of Single Family dwelling is the only logical and appropriate use of this land that maintains the character and integrity of these neighborhoods. The traffic congestion leading into and out of Cranberry Run is enough to disqualify this rezoning. Traffic issues into and out of Dover High School will only be exacerbated by this rezoning. Other concerns: Lighting of a Convenience Store with Fuel pump 24/7 (lights from the high school already light- up the night sky) School truancy Noise levels (already can hear school activities when in session, ie. track meets, football games, marching band) Rodent infestation Thank you for your consideration of this resident of Dover, DE; my wife and I have been proud to call this home for over 20 years. This area was our choice to retire to and look forward to more years in our home. Best regards, James w. Ritter Jean M. Ritter Page 39

This rezoning to C-2A is inappropriate for this area. We are one of the last residential areas at the western most edge of the City limits. There are several convenience stores and gas stations within a mile or so of this property. It will draw students from the high school running across busy Route 8. Flood lights will more than likely be on 24/7 if a gas station is approved. Heatherfield and Cranberry Run currently have enough problems getting out of the developments for work, etc... Please stop using up every vacant space in the City for retail. This will have a huge impact on our quality of life. Karen Nickerson 24 Stoney Drive Heatherfield Page 41

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I want to go on record as opposed to the zoning change to commercial of this property. We have zero need for this. With Dover High and the neighborhoods close by the change would just add traffic to an already crowded situation. Adding a traffic light would not take away any congestion. A left turn lane would probably be added and with a new sidewalk on the North side of Forrest Ave. we will loose property to accommodate their property. I don’t think that is fair. Another issue is the noise. Also the light pollution from the brightly lit area. As a side note, the two hundred year old tree would be taken down. I can not think of one good benefit from this project. Thank you, Richard Heisler Sent from my iPad Sent from my iPad Page 44

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To whom it may concern, My name is Robert Hice and I live at 124 Chelsea way, Dover Delaware, This is in the Cranberry Run Development on Forest Ave across from Dover High School. There is an attempt to rezone a 5 acre parcel of land in front of Cranberry Run from single family home to commercial. I and many of my neighbors want to go on the record as opposing this rezoning effort for the following reasons. First, the traffic is already horrendous to say the least, not that has ever stopped any development in the past. Second, I've already had my vehicle broken into several times and allowing a business would increase undesirable characters in the area that similar businesses have. Third, it would create to much congestion in the front of our development. The addition of access roads, traffic lights etc. would just make a bad situation worse. Fourth, There are plenty of kids/ students walking along the road to and from the high school and a lot of them don't use sidewalks and walk in the street now. A number of them like to ignore traffic and just walk out in front of vehicles that seems to becoming popular these days. Fifth, residents on the opposite side of the road have several yard sales each year. When they do, both sides of the roadway are lined up with vehicles already making it a challenge to exit out development.. Six, the noise is going to be an issue with loud stereos playing, exhaust systems and more. Seven, the bright lights at night time are going to be a nuisance as well. Will I be expected to invest in new darkening blinds after just installing new blinds? I could go on but I don't have the time at the moment and needing to get this out. I/we ask that you consider the residents for once rather than the dollar. Sincerely, Robert Hice, USAF Ret. 124 Chelsea Way Dover, DE 19904 302-672-6458 rhice86591@aol.com Page 45

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To whom it may concern: My name is LaTende Henry, and I have been a resident at 118 Falmouth Way, Cranberry Run, for 17 years…since December 2003. I chose this neighborhood because I was raising three children and wanted a quiet and safe neighborhood. I plan to retire and stay in this neighborhood for those same reasons. I was shocked and upset to hear recently that the owners of the farm located directly behind my house are trying to rezone the land to a Commercial Zone. I am very opposed to this change. My property backs directly up to the property in question. I’ve also heard that rezoning the land would allow them to proceed with plans to put up a gas station, convenience store or some other type of business. If this is approved, it would have a significant negative impact on, not only my life, but those of my fellow neighbors. A business of this type would bring additional patrons and unwanted people that would jeopardize my safety and privacy. It would also bring disruptive smells and noises. In addition, it would add more traffic congestion to our neighborhood, which already has traffic problems when the new Dover High School was built. I urge you to consider the quality of life issues that rezoning would present to the residents of Cranberry Run and me especially since this is literally right behind my house. In addition, I would urge you to also consider the already existing commercial zones that are less than a mile from this location. There are at least three other gas stations and a number of convenience stores and businesses not a mile from this location. The community does not need yet another gas station or convenience store and definitely not one that would infringe on our daily quality of life. Thank you for your consideration, LaTende Henry Page 46

Item #1. From: P Cohen To: CompPlan Subject: EXTERNAL: RT 8 Rezoning Application Date: Monday, June 21, 2021 2:23:02 PM WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Planning Commission Members, I am writing in regard to Item Z-21-05 on the 6/21/21 Agenda. I wish to express my objection to the application submitted by Draper Farm Properties LLC, to rezone the land located at 1617 Forrest Ave., Dover, DE 19904, to Central Zone Commercial. My concerns are as follows: The increase in traffic generated will not only bring about more congestion, but will also pose safety issues for current residents, motorists, potential customers, and pedestrians, many of whom are students who walk to Dover High School. Also, The 35 MPH speed limit is presently largely ignored, so an increase in the amount of traffic is quite a detriment. The amount of traffic, noise, and trash would negatively impact the surrounding neighborhoods. Also, how many traffic lights will need to be installed? Secondly, a left-turn lane heading East will need to be placed at the entranceway, and the road will need to be widened to accommodate access, which could necessitate removing part of the front lawns of property owners across from the entrance. As a homeowner, I am concerned about the reduction in property value and believe that a commercial endeavor will have an adverse effect on the integrity of the surrounding residential properties. In addition, This location is home to a tree which has been standing for at least one to two centuries. Other trees on the property were already sacrificed. It would be devastating to defile the property by destroying this tree, as well. I hope that you will give some serious thought to the above-mentioned concerns and the ramifications of your decisions. Sincerely, Ms. Patricia B.J.

Dear Planning Commission, Please note that I am speaking to ask that the Draper Farm remain as Zoned as a residential property. We already have far too much traffic in our neighborhood when trying to enter Rt. 8. Especially when the high school is in full session, it is nearly impossible to exit our neighborhood from Stoney Drive. We are a residential neighborhood and are surrounded by residences. A Convenience store would block traffic terribly and would create an unsurmountable amount of traffic and congestion. We, the neighbors of Heatherfield and Cranberry Run are extremely opposed to this rezoning. Please pay attention to the folks who live in this area before considering this rezoning. We live here and we know how difficult our lives would become if this were to pass. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Lynne Sadusky Page 52

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Planning Commission for the City of Dover: My family lives in Cranberry Run on route 8 adjacent to the property Owned by Draper farm properties LLC. We understand that a request has been made to rezone that property which would allow a convenience store, restaurant, or other similar business to develop that land. We are VEHEMENTLY opposed to this rezoning. This stretch of root 8 is rural residential, and we would like it to remain such. A commercial property at this address would cause traffic problems. A commercial property at that location would draw more traffic to the area, and we already live in a neighborhood that doesn't have a turnlane. We already face traffic hazards with people failing to slow down while we turn into our neighborhood. Having additional motorists trying to access a commercial property would draw even more traffic issues. This property is also directly across from Dover high school grounds. This would draw a lot of foot traffic from the high schoolers over to our side of the neighborhood. This would mean that there would be a lot more litter around our neighborhood and the farm field surrounding that commercial property. This would cause the value of our homes and the appearance of the general area to drop in their quality. The only benefit in reasoning this property will be to the owner of the property. Neither the city of Dover nor the residence surrounding this property will benefit from a change in the zony of this property. Quite the contrary. I'm happy to answer any questions, clarify any comments, or provide any additional insight from my family or my neighborhood regarding the reasoning of this property.

Item #1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION June 21, 2021 Excerpt from Meeting Minutes – Draft The Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Monday, June 21, 2021 at 7:00 PM as a Virtual Meeting using the phone/videoconferencing system WebEx due to Delaware’s Declaration of the State of Emergency for COVID-19. The Meeting Session was conducted with Chair Mrs. Maucher presiding. Members present were Mr. Adams, Mr. Roach, Mrs. Malone, Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Lord, Mrs. Welsh, Dr. Jones and Mrs. Maucher. Mr. Baldwin was absent. Staff members present were Mr. Dave Hugg, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Julian Swierczek, Mr. Jason Lyon and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney. Z-21-05 Lands of Draper Farm Properties at 1617 Forrest Avenue - Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council on a Rezoning Application for a parcel of land consisting of 5.04 acres. The property is zoned R-10 (One Family Residence Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The property is located on the north side of Forrest Avenue and adjacent to Cranberry Run Drive. The owner of record is Draper Farm Properties LLC. Property Address: 1617 Forrest Avenue. Tax Parcel: ED-05- 075.00-01-07.00-000. Council District 1. Ordinance #2021-14. Representatives: Mr. Jonathan Street, Becker Morgan Group; Mr. Doug Walker Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is a request for Rezoning. The site is the bright blue colored parcel that is located on the north side of Forrest Avenue right at the intersection with Cranberry Run Drive that goes into the residential neighborhood known as Cranberry Run. You can see from the aerial that there are a number of residences surrounding this parcel. The parcel itself previously did have a dwelling unit on it and a series of agricultural related outbuildings; and it was under active cultivation. The property owner is Draper Farm Properties, LLC. That same entity also owns other properties a little further to the west also on the north side of Forrest Avenue; however, this Rezoning application is only pertaining to this five-acre tract of land that is designated here directly adjacent to the Cranberry Run Drive. The property currently is zoned R-10 (One Family Residence Zone) and is subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). As noted, the applicant is seeking rezoning of the property to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and also remaining subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The City’s 2019 Comprehensive Plan for this property in particular, has a Land-Use Category of Mixed Use. The Comprehensive Plan talks about the goals for Mixed Use land areas. It was actually a specific request during our Comprehensive Plan review process that happened a couple of years ago. The property owner at the time sought that land use classification of Mixed Use. With a Mixed Use Land Use Category, there are a number of zoning districts that are eligible under that Land Use Category. With a Land Use Category, it gives them a list of potential zoning districts. Those include the C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone), TND, C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zone), C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone), and then a series of residential zones including R-8 (One Family Residence Zone), the R-10 (One Family ) that it is now RG-1 (General Residence Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2021 Page 1 of 11 Page 57

Item #1. Zone), RG-2 (General Residence Zone), RG-4 (General Residence Zone for Multistory Apartments ), C-3 (Service Commercial Zone), CPO (Commercial Professional Office Zone), and IO (Institutional and Office Zone). The COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) is a zoning overlay. It is not related to use but related more to development activity. It places a series of what we would deem architectural, parking and landscaping guidelines to be followed during the development of a particular property. The use of the property is subject to what the base zoning is and in this case, they are seeking the C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) that allows for a variety of uses. With a Rezoning comes the ability to reference that use list. Tonight does not approve any particular use for the property. It would provide for a different zoning district to potentially be applied to the property for future development activities. The C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) has a mix of retail, service establishments, restaurants, places of public assembly, and also some residential types of development in the form of one family residences. Duplex units, apartments or multi-family dwellings are also an opportunity under this zoning district. The C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) also has several Conditional Uses that would be subject to a specific review and authorization process and that is where they find the use of fuel pumps as accessory to a permitted use. The owner, as noted in their application, was seeking for the C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) to potentially develop the site for a retail store with fuel pumps which would be an accessory use. That is not being locked in tonight; we are just considering the Rezoning of the property. In the DAC Report, they provided advisory comments as well as the Planning Staff recommendations. Planning Staff is recommending for approval of the Rezoning to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone). They find that it is consistent with the 2019 Comprehensive Plan in the Mixed Use Land Use Classification. However, they do note that there is significant residential character to this area and that perhaps a different zoning district may be more appropriate that could certainly be considered that would allow for some type of commercial activity but on a smaller scale that is perhaps better to serve the immediate residential area. The Rezoning as noted tonight does not grant approval for a specific use of the property but makes the future development and land use of the property subject to a specific list of uses permitted or potential conditional uses. The DAC members did provide comments for Rezoning and most of those are no objection to Rezoning with some advisory comments regarding future development activity should that occur. Planning Commission is making a recommendation on this application; that recommendation gets forwarded to City Council. Mr. Street stated that they are asking for Rezoning of the parcel. This is a Rezoning so it has to meet the three tests. One is the Comprehensive Plan, two is the public services and the third test is, is it compatible with the existing zonings in the area? He would submit that it is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. There are public services available on Forrest Avenue although they are a little bit further west and they are probably on the furthest west lot with the exception of Cranberry Run to the City of Dover. As stated before, Forrest Avenue is the main corridor from the west into the City. He would submit tonight, as you travel the corridor and you look at the City itself, they are the furthest west within the City itself. If you look at the corridor as a whole running all the way out west to the Royal Farms at the light to get into Hartly, you have a smattering of residential properties, agricultural uses and commercial zoned or commercially utilized properties. They are not in large groups. They usually occur around intersections but there is that smattering of commercial uses along that entire corridor. As stated previously in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the City’s expansion is basically to the west. If you look at the Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2021 Page 2 of 11 Page 58

Item #1. Comprehensive Plan Map 13-1 showing Potential Annexation Areas, everything on the left hand side of the City is in a Category 2 or Category 3 priority in long term annexation targeted areas. There have been a lot of comments tonight, especially on the previous application, about traffic. He had a list of about 19 people that have emailed, called or written in opposition of this application. He would suggest that the Planning Commission understand that this is a Rezoning; this is not a Site Plan. This application actually has no future plan. This is a step one of a multiple step process. Even if they were to do anything with fuel pumps, they would have to come back before the Planning Commission for not only a Site Plan but for Conditional Use of fuel pumps. There is no plan for that; there is no equitable owner on this. Any traffic or pedestrian issues or safety issues that are brought up would have to be dealt with within the Site Plan itself. Those would definitely be dealt with either with Staff or through DelDOT. They have spent a considerable amount of time with DelDOT on entrances and improvements like this and he would submit that probably twice the amount of time that they used to in the past. He read all of the emails in the two different packets to the Commissioners and the majority if not all of the concerns are site related issues like safety, traffic, lighting, and noise. He doesn’t fault them for their concerns but it is a perfect opportunity at Site Plan time to bring up these concerns. Quite frankly since they have made an effort to actually write their concerns down on paper, all it does is give the owner of the property a list of things that they need to consider when they are developing this piece of property in the future. They can work with within those parameters and take them into consideration as they develop the site but as of right now, they don’t have those plans. A lot of those things would have to be met during a Site Plan process. As for the Rezoning itself, zoning has to meet three legs of a stool; compatibility with existing zonings, access to public services and compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Although he understands that there is a large amount of public opposition to it, the public opposition is in relation to a Site Plan that they just don’t have. He would ask that the Commission make a positive recommendation to City Council for the Rezoning to allow them to possibly get to Step 2 and Step 3 which are developing something. That is what this does; this enables the owner and the developer to come up with a plan and right now, they don’t have one. Mr. Walker stated that the one thing that he would add is that there is an incredible overlay district as well. There is a whole different set of requirements for what needs to be done there. He thinks that Mr. Street stated it well. Mr. Hartman stated that he opposes this and he would like to disagree with Mr. Street; this isn’t Step 1 of the process, this is Step 2. Step 1 occurred back when the Comprehensive Plan was drafted and Mrs. Melson-Williams referenced that a little bit. But in order to give the public a better view of what went on at that August 2019 meeting, he would like to cover just a few of the basics. He would also like to direct the public to go to the City website, download those meeting minutes from December 16, 2019 and see what the applicant said about this parcel of land then when they were advocating that the land designation be changed to Mixed Use. At that time, the Planning Office was advocating that the parcel remain Residential. He is reading from the minutes; the Planning Office said “they can’t recommend the change in the land use. The character and the existing use of the immediate area of the subject parcel is residential.” The Planning Office was not supporting any change at that time. Unfortunately when the applicant came before this Commission, they made some assurances about what was going in here and the flexibility of the Mixed Use designation. Five of the six Commission members agreed with that and voted to approve this Mixed Use land (use) category which opened the door to what we are Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2021 Page 3 of 11 Page 59

Item #1. seeing tonight. Would the Planning Office consider C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) designation a high intensity commercial? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) is definitely a mix of commercial opportunities from a use perspective. In the Comprehensive Plan, the C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) category falls into both what they would consider Commercial Low Intensity and Commercial High Intensity from a Land Use Category perspective. It really comes down on a question of intensity to ultimately what is the built-out version of the property. With this subject site, the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) is going to have a lot of implications on the buildout of the site because of the significant buffering and design placement requirements. She thinks that certainly the C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) on the question of intensity can lean both ways. She doesn’t know if Mr. Hugg has any additional comments on that from more of the economic development side of things. Mr. Hartman stated that with the designation of C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone), he thinks it is pretty clear in the Comprehensive Plan. The separation of high intensity and low intensity is in Chapter 12. Would you consider a convenience store as low intensity? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that it depends on the design of the site and its general location. Mr. Hartman further questioned if she would consider a convenience store with gas pumps a low intensity? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that when you have basically two uses, you certainly increase intensity. With the gas pumps, you have certainly more traffic that could be visiting that site because you are offering another retail component. Mr. Hartman stated that he would advise the residents that are opposing this tonight to go to the Comprehensive Plan and look in Chapter 12 at the Commercial Low Intensity areas on Page 12- 13 and the Commercial High Intensity areas also on Page 12-13 and remember that when you go to City Council. The City Council meets on July 12, 2021 so the residents opposing this should definitely be at City Council to voice their opinions there. He hopes that they take those meeting minutes from December 16, 2019 and Chapter 12 from the Comprehensive Plan to City Council to discuss this. Also the fact that the Planning Office itself in 2019 was saying that High Intensity Commercial should not go in there and that it should be residential. Mr. Adams stated that he can always count on Mr. Hartman to do his homework and he commends him for that great work. His question is sort of piggy-backing on his comments. Given the opposition back then, it appears that there has been a change of heart with Planning Staff. Now, Staff does recommend that the property be rezoned to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) while retaining the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). How do we marry those two things together? The opposition from the original Rezoning with the idea that it should be kept residential. And now, we have sort of swung the other way to recommending this Rezoning, certainly understanding that Rezoning is not a Site Plan approval. Responding to Mr. Adams, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that in the Comprehensive Plan, she believes that the applicants original request was for straight up Commercial Land Use Classification and a number of those don’t allow for residential or are a very limited residential. The C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) is truly a mixed zone. They see a lot of activity and C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) may be more of that is commercial but it allows for a mix of uses to happen on the property. Be it in the same building or in separate buildings, it allows that opportunity for Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2021 Page 4 of 11 Page 60

Item #1. mixed use. When they go to the Comprehensive Plan as adopted to place the Land Use Category of Mixed Use on this parcel, then they are looking at the goals of the Mixed Use area as part of the Comprehensive Plan. They cited that in their Report where it is discussed. The goals for Mixed Use areas are to encourage neighborhood centers. Some of that allows for commercial services perhaps to be within walking distance of residential areas and to promote both what could be vehicle access as well as pedestrian access or multi-modal opportunities. This is a pocket of truly residential with a large school site nearby. They do recognize that but they think that there are opportunities for a mix of uses. Just a straight Commercial zone probably at the time that they were looking at the Comprehensive Plan was the reason for the original opposition. But for the Mixed Use, they are encouraging that life is changing how land uses are not as segregated as they once were throughout the City. They think that this is an opportunity which is why they recognize that C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) is compliant with the Comprehensive Plan. They do note in their comments that if that is a zone that is a little bit too much, there are some other commercial zones that could be considered as more appropriate for the location. They didn’t make any particular recommendation but there are certainly others that could be considered as more appropriate. She would also go to Mr. Hugg for additional comments on this transition and more from the Planning Office in their opinion of what was presented from consideration. Mr. Hugg stated that he thinks Mrs. Melson-Williams summarized quite well the deliberations that we had. As Mr. Hartman points out, this matter did come back to the Planning Commission where it was discussed again at some length. He thinks that their collected judgement after some reconsideration and looking at the goals from Mixed Use was that it was a more appropriate land use designation and that land use designation carries a variety of opportunities for commercial and residential activities to occur. The C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) category is perhaps at the edge of where one might describe commercial as low intensity or high intensity. It is certainly not in the same class as the kind of high intensity commercial uses that they have designated elsewhere in the City where that kind of activity makes more sense. Mrs. Welsh stated that during the presentation from Mr. Street, it was mentioned a couple of times that there is really no plans as of yet as to what they want to do with the property. So, she is a little bit confused as to why the application says that the identified potential use would be a convenience store with fuel pumps. It seems like that is the primary consideration for any future plans. Is there some other use planned that could be different than that that would be more in line with a lesser commercial use or more in tune with some residential use? Responding to Mrs. Welsh, Mr. Street stated that they struggle more often than not with Rezonings or tying a Site Plan to a Rezoning. There is a line item that asks what the intended use is and that is how they get tied into Site Plans with Rezonings. Thank you to Mr. Hartman for the history; he was not involved in those meetings. You always do your homework with past issues on the project. What was requested from Staff previously, he is unaware of. His understanding of the conversations is the potential for something of that nature, but he has no knowledge of any formal plans or any formal uses for that. Clearly, they picked the most controversial use that they could possibly pick for C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone), but they are trying to engineer and discuss a Site Plan that they just don’t have a Site Plan for. Mr. Roach stated that this is probably his first time of ever being on the Planning Commission and not being in favor of two applications in the same meeting. He doesn’t think that it has ever Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2021 Page 5 of 11 Page 61

Item #1. happened with them. He thinks that they are really progressive in regards to site developments and land developments and approval of rezoning. But he just wants to continue his reluctance when it comes to rezoning situations because yes, it is just a Rezoning but once they do rezone it does allow permitted uses. They have run into situations where once they rezone the property, they have been more handcuffed and have less say so because if it is a permitted us, it becomes a little more difficult for them to say that they disagree. Also, it is a five-acre site. So, he is just imagining that when he is looking at uses that are permitted for the C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone), it is for retail, hotels, restaurants or a lot of other things that they could put there even if it’s not a gas station. He is a social worker and putting something like that right across the street from a high school with kids that have a lot of walking back and forth is an issue. Again, it is on Route 8. It is a five-acre site smack dab in the middle of residential area where there are eighteen people in that area who are already opposed to the Rezoning. He thinks that they are playing with fire. This is a five-acre site with opportunity to do a lot of different things. He appreciates Mr. Street for being very upfront in saying that he doesn’t have an idea. But again, the same thing that Mrs. Welsh said; it says right on the application the intended use is a retail store with accessory use for gas pumps. So if you don’t know, you at least have an idea of what you direction you are going. Honestly to him, putting a gas station right across the street in this area would not be beneficial in his opinion. He appreciates everyone and all of the residents that reached out; continue to do so because at the end of the day yes, we want to build up our developments, but he believes that the people of Dover are the people who should be actually having a voice in this situation. Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she wanted to make reference to the written public comments that they received. A number of those people are on the call tonight hoping to participate but she just wants to make sure that their written comments are referenced. In the Planning Commission Packet that went out on June 11, 2021, they received two emails. The first one being from Jaime and Lenny Palanca of 110 Falmouth Way which is within the Cranberry Run subdivision objecting to the Rezoning. The second email was from Richard and Victoria Stoops for 1590 Forrest Avenue; again, objecting to the Rezoning. Those emails went out the Planning Commission packets and those were entered into the record this evening. Today, Staff gathered the comments that they received over the last few days. There is a total of seventeen of them plus another one that came in after they were distributed to the Commission. This is the Public Comment Set #2 and it is a series of emails received through 4pm today, June 21, 2021. These were collected, inventoried and emailed to the Planning Commission members. She is just going to quickly read through them. These are all opposed or noting some type of rejection to the Rezoning with the exception of one which was ensuring that they were requesting an opportunity to speak this evening. We have emails from Richard Smith; an email from Beverly Sutton at 1618 Forrest Avenue; an email from Jack Sutton also from 1618 Forrest Avenue; an email from R. Nesline of Cranberry Run; an email from Jessica Parcher in the Heatherfield neighborhood; an email from Connor Mahoney also from Heatherfield: an email from C. Faubel objecting; an email from James and Jean Ritter also opposing the Rezoning; and an email from Judy Weiner of 21 Stoney Drive. Emails received today include those from Karen Nickerson of 24 Stoney Drive; an email from Yvonne Biddle; an email from John Davis requesting the opportunity to speak this Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2021 Page 6 of 11 Page 62

Item #1. evening, and two emails from Richard Heisler (one that was received this morning and then one that was received after 4PM). Both are similar in content but she will reference both of them for the record. There is an email from Robert Hice of 124 Chelsea Way in Cranberry Run. There is an email from LaTende Henry of 118 Falmouth Way. There is an email from Patricia Cohen of 1602 Forrest Avenue. The last is an email from Jackie George of Cranberry Run. All of those emails are entered into the record and were provided to the Planning Commission members. Mr. Jack Sutton – 1618 Forrest Avenue Dover, DE 19904 Mr. Sutton stated that he has lived here for 18 years and this is a great side of the town to live on. They built the school back here and they really enjoy the school. He didn’t approve of it at first, but he really enjoys the school. The kids and everybody does a good job. This is a great place to live; everybody knows everybody here and there is no trouble. He loves it here. You need to keep that place residential with just single-family dwellings. This is a hell of a place to raise kids or even for elderly people. We all stick together on this side of town. There is so much traffic here as it is. If you put something here, it is just going to amplify accidents or kids getting hit. We have all kinds of people that jog or walk here. There are elderly and young and they walk with their families and pets. This is a great place to live; don’t mess it up by sticking something like that in here. This is a place that you want your kids to grow up. Don’t screw something up that works. That’s the problem with government and companies; everybody wants to make money. And sometimes it is not all about the money; it is about a good quality of life. He is begging the Commission to please leave it residential. This works and we need to keep something in Dover that works. Ms. Karen Nickerson – 24 Stoney Drive Dover, DE 19904 Ms. Nickerson stated that she won’t be redundant and say what she has already wrote but the traffic on Route 8 is horrendous. If anybody tries to get out of Heatherfield or Cranberry Run, they sit and wait. They don’t need something else between our two developments that is going to produce more traffic and more waiting. These two developments are the westernmost residential areas in the City limits if she is looking at the correct map. She believes that the Commission needs to leave it residential. Mr. Guy Smith – 8 Yarmouth Way Dover, DE 19904 Mr. Smith stated that there is a lot of traffic on Route 8 especially since they have built the school. They have basically one area to get across the street for all of the students living in the four subdivisions on the north side to get to the school. A lot of them have to walk two or three blocks in the wrong direction to cross the street safely and walk back. High school students don’t do that. They are already coming out of Cranberry Run and go right across the street right at the end of the residential areas on the south side. He sees people that are walking and jogging doing it also. From what he understands, when all of the school was developed they said that they could not put a stop light at Cranberry Run or Heatherfield because of the proximity of the other two down at Mifflin Road and at the other end of the school. If you put in any type of commercial endeavor here with no light, you’ve got three subdivisions and a bunch of individual homeowners that only have one access to the road. We already sit and wait. Sometimes in the morning he could wait 30 minutes to get out of his subdivision. You can’t continue adding more and more traffic without additional ways to alleviate that traffic. He doesn’t care so much if they say they are going to change it to some other zoning that might keep it to a low density or if you Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2021 Page 7 of 11 Page 63

Item #1. say you are going to put duplexes or something other than single family homes but it needs to stay residential. It needs to have the access to the main road which right now, is very limited as it is. He doesn’t know who you are going to get more and more people on this road safely. If you put a convenience store here, he can guarantee you that those high school kids are going to go to lunch crossing that highway to get to the convenience store. You have already said that they can’t put more crosswalks or things like that in there because of the proximity of others. You are going to be increasing the danger to our children and to other residents that are going to be crossing this street more than what they do now. He hopes that the Commission really takes that into consideration and keeps this in the residential arena. Ms. Louise Bordley – 43 Stoney Drive Dover, DE 19904 Ms. Bordley stated that she has been here for 20 years and has seen a lot of changes. She knows that you have heard over and over again how bad the traffic is but what you don’t know is this. She is 69 years old and she has always been a safe driver. She is now taking chances trying to get on the other side and almost having accidents. She believes that if you rezone now, then they are going to come right back to try to stop what they are going to build. Mr. Chuck Hampton – 13 Stoney Drive Dover, DE 19904 Mr. Hampton thanked Staff and the Commission for their patience and kindness. He believes that it compromises the neighborhood. A gas station will not only put gas in your car but crime will increase in the neighborhoods and can endanger the lives of the high school kids. This can also create a negative impact for the sale of homes. When you look at that beautiful area, putting a gas station there just doesn’t work and it doesn’t look nice. Mrs. Heather Hampton – 13 Stoney Drive Dover, DE 19904 Mrs. Hampton stated that her main concern is the noise level. Based on the Wawa down the street, there are constantly motorcycles with their radios on and she just thinks that is an awful thing to have. Mr. Griffin DuBreuil – 23 Stoney Drive Dover, DE 19904 Mr. DuBreuil stated that he would be opposed to this Rezoning attempt. He has been here for 35+ years and the traffic has increased exponentially over the years. Should this be rezoned to commercial, you could have a potential for higher crime. Should a gas station get built here, it will cause crime, light pollution, gas pollution and water pollution. It would just ruin the character of this side of town; and he is so hardly opposed to this Rezoning. Ms. Yvonne Biddle – 1598 Forrest Avenue Dover, DE 19904 Ms. Biddle stated that she lives directly across from the property. She agrees 100% with everything that has been said. Ms. Jean Ritter – 106 Falmouth Way Dover, DE 19904 (technical difficulties speaking) Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Ms. Riddle wrote in the chat, “With more understanding of what C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone), this Rezoning opens pandora’s box. Basically, it allows just about anything to be put on this property. This is not a logical change with mostly residential and a high school within close proximity. Please add this to the public record.” Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2021 Page 8 of 11 Page 64

Item #1. Mr. John Davis – 4 Stoney Drive Dover, DE 19904 Mr. Davis thanked the Planning Staff for the help that they have given him. He also wanted to thank Commissioner Hartman for the information. Mr. Street mentions that the proposed use as a convenience store and that there is no plan. The fact of the matter is that this particular zoning will in fact allow something for that and they have expressed an interest in a Conditional Use. When you pass this zoning law, that will in fact be an allowable use. He thinks that it is totally inappropriate. He has researched some of the potential retail establishments along these lines. One of the reviews that they got was that this was the place to be at 2AM in the morning because they’ve got everything you need. When you look at that and compare it to Wawa, which at one time because of some problems with after parties that were going on over on College Road, they had to shut down. There have also been burglars constantly patrolling Wawa lots. None of these stores are equipped to police those places. One of the things that concerns him is that as somebody who has had experience in public schools is that this particular place is going to attract kids from Dover High School. Granted the High School is going to do a stellar job to keep those kids on campus, but they are going to run across the street and someone is going to get hit. When you look at the map, that as opposed to the previous project on Forrest Avenue, which is a mile away from this particular location, it is all single-family dwellings. Every single one of those go on the west side of Stoney Drive, across the street on Forrest Avenue, and all of Cranberry Run are all single-family dwellings and he thinks that is what the propriate zoning should be. He is opposed to any kind of change. Ms. LaTende Henry – 118 Falmouth Way Dover, DE 19904 Ms. Henry stated in the chat that she is here for the Route 8 Rezoning and she will not be speaking since she sent an email earlier. Ms. Lynn Sadusky – 16 Stoney Drive Dover, DE 19904 Ms. Sadusky stated that she is a new resident to Heatherfield but not to Dover. She has lived here since 1969. She wants to second what everyone said tonight especially Mr. Hartman and Mr. Roach. She wants to thank them very much for speaking up for the residents in the Dover community that live surrounding this site. She thinks that they have at least 150 families in East Heatherfield. She is sure that there is an excess of 80 families in Cranberry Run, at least 50 in Heatherfield West,0 and then the neighbors across Route 8 who would be severely impacted. She is opposed to this Rezoning. The property is surrounded by residential areas and this property should stay residential. She thinks that one of the biggest concerns in addition to the traffic problem that we are already facing when trying to leave the neighborhood is the students at Dover High School and the unsafe situation that it would put them in. She just wants to say that when the High School first opened up, she was working at Dover High School. If she left the house at 7AM, there was no way that she could get into the high school traveling just 5 miles because of the traffic on Route 8 when school is in full swing. She would have to go around through Sharon Hill Road and Deer Track Lane and come in from the west side just to get into Dover High School on time. It has been a problem and it remains a problem. She thinks that one of her neighbors said that she has to schedule doctor’s appointment around other times of the day instead of start and end times for school because it is very difficult to get out of the Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2021 Page 9 of 11 Page 65

Item #1. neighborhood. She just wants to urge everyone to please pay attention to the neighbors who will be immediately impacted by such a change. This is our home; this is where we live and people want to feel safe and comfortable in their homes. Such a development of commercial use for that property would make us feel less safe and less comfortable. She also wants to ask everyone listening, especially the Commissioners and developers. Would you like to live in Cranberry Run or Heatherfield or across the street on Route 8 or if you had a child attending Dover High School, would you want this property to be Rezoned? Mr. Adewunmi Kuforiji- Capital School District 198 Commerce Way Dover, DE 19904 Mr. Kuforiji stated that as the Commission makes their decisions, he wants to encourage them to make sure that they think about the investment that the community made with Dover High School being set at that location. It is a great learning environment and he thinks that it is a great flagship for the community. He hopes that it brings people into our community. They have tried to build a learning environment that is safe for our students. Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing. Mr. Hartman questioned that in the event that Commissioners thought that this land use designation of Mixed Use was possibly a mistake, what would be the protocol for us to initiate a return to the previous land use designation? This would be to prevent other applicants from going down this same path. This is a residential area. What would be the protocol to change the Comprehensive Plan to return this to the designation as a residential area? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and how that process works is outlined in the Comprehensive Plan itself in Chapter 15. The Comprehensive Plan on Page 15-10 notes that any amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are approved by City Council by recommendation of the Planning Commission and they have a review process with the Office of State Planning Coordination. Specific requests to amend the Comprehensive Plan may be initiated by Planning Staff, City Council or applications from the general public. It doesn’t specifically list the Planning Commission there, but she thinks that it would take at least a motion to that affect to have Staff perhaps initiate that. They do Comprehensive Plan amendments once a year and that filing timeframe is in December of each year and then they are considered in the January through March timeframe of the following year. Mr. Hartman stated in the event that this is not approved, if the residents don’t want to face this in the future, you should contact your City Councilman or look at the Comprehensive Plan and initiate a change to the land use designation for this area so that it returns to residential. Take that Mixed Use category away from here and you won’t be faced with these commercial uses again. To Planning Staff, would you be willing to initiate a change to the Comprehensive Plan to revert back to residential from Mixed Use? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she thinks that they would be looking at the Comprehensive Plan and if there was significant change in a neighborhood area, they could bring forward something. She doesn’t know if Mr. Hugg has any other thoughts. Typically, Staff has not necessarily done requests such as this that she is aware of. She knows that they just did a series of amendments that were identified because of zoning concerns related to their Comprehensive Rezoning Project. Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2021 Page 10 of 11 Page 66

Item #1. Mr. Hugg stated that he thinks that first the matter before you tonight needs to be resolved because you have an active application in front of you. They would certainly give full consideration should the Planning Commission determine that is the direction that they would like to see them move. Again, as Mrs. Melson-Williams indicated, the timing for such action is specified in the Comprehensive Plan. But he thinks in fairness to the applicants and in fairness to the process, you need to resolve this matter at both the Commission’s level and at City Council’s level before we consider moving forward with some other change. He thinks that they owe that much to all of the parties involved, whatever the ultimate recommendation tonight is. Mr. Hartman moved to recommend to not approve (denial) to City Council for application Z-21- 05 Lands of Draper Farm Properties at 1617 Forrest Avenue and that is taking into consideration public safety, the health and welfare, comfort and convenience of the general public and the residents of the immediate residential area and particularly the comments that they have read and heard this evening. Leave this at its current R-10 (One Family Residence Zone), seconded by Mrs. Welsh and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Baldwin absent. Mr. Hartman voting yes to not approve; for reasons previously stated. Mrs. Lord voting yes to not approve. Mrs. Welsh voting yes in favor of not approving; for reasons stated in the motion. Dr. Jones voting yes; for reasons stated by Mr. Hartman and certainly for the concerns and comments made by the residents in that area. Mr. Adams voting yes; he is quite torn here but certainly tips towards the residents and their passion to please with respect to this property. Mr. Roach voting yes; for reasons previously stated and due to all of the residents sharing their concerns. He echoes those concerns and again he definitely is all in favor of rezoning when it makes sense in regards to the area. But when you have this many people opposed to it, he has to definitely vote in favor of the motion to not allow the rezoning for this property. Mrs. Malone voting yes; for reasons stated, Mr. Hartman’s reasons, and also the residents and property owner’s reasons. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; in looking at the goals of the mixed land use, she thinks that there is opportunity for some commercial that blends mixed land use toward pedestrian use and bicycle use which some of these larger commercial zones would not allow.

Item #1. MEMORANDUM Department of Planning & Inspections P.O. Box 475 Dover, DE 19903 Phone: (302) 736-7196 Fax (302) 736-4217 DATE: July 12, 2021 TO: City Council FROM: Planning Office SUBJECT: Rezoning Application Z-21-05 Lands of Draper Farm Properties, LLC. Petition of Opposition objecting to the Rezoning of 1617 Forrest Avenue. A Petition of Opposition was received prior the City Council Hearing on July 12, 2021 regarding Rezoning Application Z-21-05 Lands of Draper Farm Properties, LLC.: Rezoning R-10 and subject to the COZ-1 to C-2A and still subject to COZ-1. The Petition of Opposition from area property owners on Forrest Avenue and residents of the Cranberry Run and Heatherfield Subdivisions contained a petition with twenty-six (26) signatures from owners of properties in the area objecting to the proposed rezoning of 1617 Forrest Avenue, Dover. Title 22 §305 of Delaware Code outlines the criteria for determining the viability of a petition opposing a rezoning request and how a legislative body of a municipality is to proceed in processing the petition. Delaware Code requires that when 20% of eligible lots participate in a petition, the legislative body for the municipality must achieve a three-fourths favorable decision to proceed with the rezoning of the property. See Del. Code excerpt below. Delaware Code: TITLE 22 Municipalities, CHAPTER 3. Municipal Zoning Regulations, Subchapter I. General Provisions § 305 Changes in regulations; procedure. The regulations, restrictions and boundaries may from time to time be amended, supplemented, changed, modified or repealed.

Z-21-05 Memorandum on Petition of Opposition Item #1. Page 2 of 2 Planning Staff evaluated the Petition along with available property records to determine the adjacency of the signatories’ lots/properties to 1617 Forrest Avenue as it relates to the requirements of 22 Del. Code §305. The Petition is evaluated based upon the presence (or lack thereof) of signatures from the twenty-four (24) eligible surrounding properties. The attached Petition Exhibit Map and Zoning Petition Summary Analysis Spreadsheet show information from the analysis. • The Petition Exhibit Map shows the subject at 1617 Forrest Avenue in yellow. The Eligible Properties shown in blue are those lots within 100 feet (Red Line) of the subject property and the street frontage of the subject property. The properties marked with a star are the properties that were included in the Petition. • The Petition Summary Analysis Spreadsheet lists the property owners of the twenty-four (24) Eligible Properties and indicates those that signed the Petition (marked with an ‘x’ in the Petitioner column). The Subject Property of the Rezoning is also marked as “Subject.” Planning Staff notes the following from our analysis: • The 26 signers of the Petition provided fourteen (14) eligible property addresses adjacent to the subject property and immediately across the street from the subject property on both Cranberry Run Drive and Forrest Avenue. The signers are all property owners. This gives a tally of 14 out of 24 Eligible Property Owners equating to 58.33%. • Of the 26 signers, 6 gave addresses that were outside of the 100 ft. radius for eligible petitioners. In Summary, the results of the Petition Analysis are as follows: • 14 out of 24 Eligible Property Owners signed the Petition. • The total number of eligible and verifiable petitioners is 14. • 14/24 eligible and verifiable petitioners equate to 58.33%. The Petition is valid as per 22 Del. Code §305. Any action to approve the Rezoning of 1617 Forrest Avenue (Ordinance #2021-14) requires a three-fourths majority of City Council.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To Whom It May Concern: We are long time residents of Cranberry Run Development and have lived in the development since September of 1998. We are writing this email in response to a Notice of Hearing on an application to the City of Dover for commercial rezoning of part of the development's frontage. It is our understanding that this is essentially on a proposal to convert the subject area to a cluster of commercial establishments. We would like to go on record with our objections to this rezoning initiative as it is our desire to retain the quiet residential character of our immediate surroundings. We have enjoyed this environment for over 20 years. The prospect of living in a quiet and almost rustic setting was what attracted us to the property almost 25 years ago. With this tranquil environment , we created memories of raising our young family and it is these memories of our early days as a family that our children continue to go home to , or would want to come back and revisit. The advent of hyper development and urban sprawl drastically erases those memories as well as the character of what we have always loved as a peaceful space we call home. For whatever our insights amount to , in the process of building a consensus toward deciding on the initiative--- we would like to weigh in on the side of the opposition. Keep the property's residential character the way it has always been. Sincerely, Jaime G. and Lenni Palanca 110 Falmouth Way Dover, DE 19904 p.s.: We may reconsider if the applicant is amenable to a WAWA convenience store being built right next to their place of residence.

We have lived on Forrest Avenue for 53 years, and know how it has changed over the years, especially with the new Dover High School. The traffic is very bad at different times of the day. I watch the youth crossing the road in different spots, not always at the hawk light. If a store is put across from the school that could be very dangerous with the youth coming back and forth. Plus with the cars turning into the store and coming out makes more problems on a already busy area. This area is a residential area with two developments next door. It will not add anything to the area. Just down the road we already have a MacDonald’s, WaWa and gas station, plus shopping center! Please consider turning this application down!

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I am adamantly opposed to the Draper Farms request to rezone 5 acres on Forrest Ave. to build a convenience store. I live in Cranberry Run within steps of that property and that is not who I want to have as a neighbor!!!!!!!!!!!! What an awful thing to do to some very nice neighborhoods. Traffic problems on route 8 are bad enough. A convenience store with gas pumps will only make it things worse. The only appropriate use for this land is single family dwellings. Anything else is just madness. Do you want a convenience store in the middle of YOUR neighborhood? Rnesline@verizon.net Page 82

Item #1. From: Jessica Parcher To: CompPlan Subject: EXTERNAL: Rezoning of Rt.8 property Date: Saturday, June 19, 2021 4:31:20 PM WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hello, my name is Jessica and I am a resident of the Heatherfield neighborhood. As I may not be able to attend the public hearing on June 21st, I wanted to express my concerns over the rezoning of the 5 acres of land on Forrest Ave. I feel that making this area into a commercial zone will exacerbate the already present traffic congestion, potentially decrease property values to homes adjacent to what is being built, and impair the residential character of our quite and safe neighborhoods. Additionally, this change may potentiate hazards to the children going to and from school on foot. I sincerely hope that my concerns and the concerns of many others in the surrounding neighborhoods are taken seriously, and that this zoning change does not go through. Thank you for your time.

Item #1. From: Conner Mahoney To: CompPlan Subject: EXTERNAL: Concern Regarding rezoning near Stoney Dr and Rt 8 Date: Saturday, June 19, 2021 4:55:04 PM WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To whom it may concern, While I understand that growth is necessary for a city, the current plan to rezone the area near Heatherfield into a gas station(or any other commercial area) will only compound the problems this area already faces. These issues namely being traffic problems, speeding problems, and problems with litter, all of which seem to not be taken care of by anyone in the first place. I realize that these responsibilities do not necessarily fall on the City of Dover; I am stating that proper maintanence and safeguarding are not being upheld in this area as-is, and a gas station will only exacerbate these problems. As it stands now, I dissent with the current plan to rezone these 5 acres into commercial property. This opinion is based on the idea that the problems already affecting Heatherfield, as well as the area around it, will not be considerably managed after the introduction of commercial properties such as those planned. Thank you for your consideration, Conner Mahoney Page 84

Item #1. From: Jean Ritter To: CompPlan Subject: EXTERNAL: Rezoning Draper Farms PropertiesLLC Date: Sunday, June 20, 2021 7:16:15 PM WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Planning Commission Members: I am writing this email to express my concerns about the proposed rezoning of the property owned by Draper Farms Properties, LLC located On Forrest Ave, Route 8, Dover, DE. Currently this property is zoned as R-10 and COZ-1; proposed zoning would be C-2A and COZ-1. This change in zoning is totally inappropriate for this land. The current zoning of Single Family dwelling is the only logical and appropriate use of this land that maintains the character and integrity of these neighborhoods. The traffic congestion leading into and out of Cranberry Run is enough to disqualify this rezoning. Traffic issues into and out of Dover High School will only be exacerbated by this rezoning. Other concerns: Lighting of a Convenience Store with Fuel pump 24/7 (lights from the high school already light- up the night sky) School truancy Noise levels (already can hear school activities when in session, ie. track meets, football games, marching band) Rodent infestation Thank you for your consideration of this resident of Dover, DE; my wife and I have been proud to call this home for over 20 years. This area was our choice to retire to and look forward to more years in our home. Best regards, James w. Ritter Jean M. Ritter Page 86

This rezoning to C-2A is inappropriate for this area. We are one of the last residential areas at the western most edge of the City limits. There are several convenience stores and gas stations within a mile or so of this property. It will draw students from the high school running across busy Route 8. Flood lights will more than likely be on 24/7 if a gas station is approved. Heatherfield and Cranberry Run currently have enough problems getting out of the developments for work, etc... Please stop using up every vacant space in the City for retail. This will have a huge impact on our quality of life. Karen Nickerson 24 Stoney Drive Heatherfield Page 88

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I want to go on record as opposed to the zoning change to commercial of this property. We have zero need for this. With Dover High and the neighborhoods close by the change would just add traffic to an already crowded situation. Adding a traffic light would not take away any congestion. A left turn lane would probably be added and with a new sidewalk on the North side of Forrest Ave. we will loose property to accommodate their property. I don’t think that is fair. Another issue is the noise. Also the light pollution from the brightly lit area. As a side note, the two hundred year old tree would be taken down. I can not think of one good benefit from this project. Thank you, Richard Heisler Sent from my iPad Sent from my iPad Page 91

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To whom it may concern, My name is Robert Hice and I live at 124 Chelsea way, Dover Delaware, This is in the Cranberry Run Development on Forest Ave across from Dover High School. There is an attempt to rezone a 5 acre parcel of land in front of Cranberry Run from single family home to commercial. I and many of my neighbors want to go on the record as opposing this rezoning effort for the following reasons. First, the traffic is already horrendous to say the least, not that has ever stopped any development in the past. Second, I've already had my vehicle broken into several times and allowing a business would increase undesirable characters in the area that similar businesses have. Third, it would create to much congestion in the front of our development. The addition of access roads, traffic lights etc. would just make a bad situation worse. Fourth, There are plenty of kids/ students walking along the road to and from the high school and a lot of them don't use sidewalks and walk in the street now. A number of them like to ignore traffic and just walk out in front of vehicles that seems to becoming popular these days. Fifth, residents on the opposite side of the road have several yard sales each year. When they do, both sides of the roadway are lined up with vehicles already making it a challenge to exit out development.. Six, the noise is going to be an issue with loud stereos playing, exhaust systems and more. Seven, the bright lights at night time are going to be a nuisance as well. Will I be expected to invest in new darkening blinds after just installing new blinds? I could go on but I don't have the time at the moment and needing to get this out. I/we ask that you consider the residents for once rather than the dollar. Sincerely, Robert Hice, USAF Ret. 124 Chelsea Way Dover, DE 19904 302-672-6458 rhice86591@aol.com Page 92

Item #1. From: lhenry424@aol.com To: CompPlan Subject: EXTERNAL: Re: Opposition to rezoning Draper Farm Properties on Forrest Avenue and Route 8 Date: Monday, June 21, 2021 1:25:35 PM WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To whom it may concern: My name is LaTende Henry, and I have been a resident at 118 Falmouth Way, Cranberry Run, for 17 years…since December 2003. I chose this neighborhood because I was raising three children and wanted a quiet and safe neighborhood. I plan to retire and stay in this neighborhood for those same reasons. I was shocked and upset to hear recently that the owners of the farm located directly behind my house are trying to rezone the land to a Commercial Zone. I am very opposed to this change. My property backs directly up to the property in question. I’ve also heard that rezoning the land would allow them to proceed with plans to put up a gas station, convenience store or some other type of business. If this is approved, it would have a significant negative impact on, not only my life, but those of my fellow neighbors. A business of this type would bring additional patrons and unwanted people that would jeopardize my safety and privacy. It would also bring disruptive smells and noises. In addition, it would add more traffic congestion to our neighborhood, which already has traffic problems when the new Dover High School was built. I urge you to consider the quality of life issues that rezoning would present to the residents of Cranberry Run and me especially since this is literally right behind my house. In addition, I would urge you to also consider the already existing commercial zones that are less than a mile from this location. There are at least three other gas stations and a number of convenience stores and businesses not a mile from this location. The community does not need yet another gas station or convenience store and definitely not one that would infringe on our daily quality of life. Thank you for your consideration, LaTende Henry Page 93

Item #1. From: P Cohen To: CompPlan Subject: EXTERNAL: RT 8 Rezoning Application Date: Monday, June 21, 2021 2:23:02 PM WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Planning Commission Members, I am writing in regard to Item Z-21-05 on the 6/21/21 Agenda. I wish to express my objection to the application submitted by Draper Farm Properties LLC, to rezone the land located at 1617 Forrest Ave., Dover, DE 19904, to Central Zone Commercial. My concerns are as follows: The increase in traffic generated will not only bring about more congestion, but will also pose safety issues for current residents, motorists, potential customers, and pedestrians, many of whom are students who walk to Dover High School. Also, The 35 MPH speed limit is presently largely ignored, so an increase in the amount of traffic is quite a detriment. The amount of traffic, noise, and trash would negatively impact the surrounding neighborhoods. Also, how many traffic lights will need to be installed? Secondly, a left-turn lane heading East will need to be placed at the entranceway, and the road will need to be widened to accommodate access, which could necessitate removing part of the front lawns of property owners across from the entrance. As a homeowner, I am concerned about the reduction in property value and believe that a commercial endeavor will have an adverse effect on the integrity of the surrounding residential properties. In addition, This location is home to a tree which has been standing for at least one to two centuries. Other trees on the property were already sacrificed. It would be devastating to defile the property by destroying this tree, as well. I hope that you will give some serious thought to the above-mentioned concerns and the ramifications of your decisions. Sincerely, Ms. Patricia B.J.

Item #1. From: Dovfox3 To: CompPlan Subject: EXTERNAL: Rezoning of 1617 Forrest Avenue Date: Monday, June 21, 2021 9:54:42 AM WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I have been a homeowner in Cranberry Run for over 20 years. I am against the rezoning of the above property at the entrance of my development. A convenience store/gas station will result in increased traffic, noise, lights and crime. We have already had problems with students attending Dover High School parking on our streets. Having a convenience store across the street from the school may also cause more traffic accidents due to students crossing Route 8. We don't need another convenience store/gas station when there is a Wawa and other stores less than a mile away.

This change would add to the congestion we already have. I realize adding a traffic light would manage the traffic better but will not alleviate it. In addition a turn lane would be necessary resulting in another loss of property on our side. We already lost 10 feet with the new school. There will also be noise and light pollution. There is absolutely no need for this business here. There is also the issue of a 200 year old tree that will be eliminated. Richard Heisler Sent from my iPhone Page 97

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Planning Commission, Please note that I am speaking to ask that the Draper Farm remain as Zoned as a residential property. We already have far too much traffic in our neighborhood when trying to enter Rt. 8. Especially when the high school is in full session, it is nearly impossible to exit our neighborhood from Stoney Drive. We are a residential neighborhood and are surrounded by residences. A Convenience store would block traffic terribly and would create an unsurmountable amount of traffic and congestion. We, the neighbors of Heatherfield and Cranberry Run are extremely opposed to this rezoning. Please pay attention to the folks who live in this area before considering this rezoning. We live here and we know how difficult our lives would become if this were to pass. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Lynne Sadusky Page 99

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Planning Commission for the City of Dover: My family lives in Cranberry Run on route 8 adjacent to the property Owned by Draper farm properties LLC. We understand that a request has been made to rezone that property which would allow a convenience store, restaurant, or other similar business to develop that land. We are VEHEMENTLY opposed to this rezoning. This stretch of root 8 is rural residential, and we would like it to remain such. A commercial property at this address would cause traffic problems. A commercial property at that location would draw more traffic to the area, and we already live in a neighborhood that doesn't have a turnlane. We already face traffic hazards with people failing to slow down while we turn into our neighborhood. Having additional motorists trying to access a commercial property would draw even more traffic issues. This property is also directly across from Dover high school grounds. This would draw a lot of foot traffic from the high schoolers over to our side of the neighborhood. This would mean that there would be a lot more litter around our neighborhood and the farm field surrounding that commercial property. This would cause the value of our homes and the appearance of the general area to drop in their quality. The only benefit in reasoning this property will be to the owner of the property. Neither the city of Dover nor the residence surrounding this property will benefit from a change in the zony of this property. Quite the contrary. I'm happy to answer any questions, clarify any comments, or provide any additional insight from my family or my neighborhood regarding the reasoning of this property. Please feel free to contact me at this email address. Respectfully, Sean Patterson 215 Chelsea Way Dover, DE 19904 Page 102

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. City of Dover. Planning Commission. Rezoning Forrest Ave for a " convenience store with fuel pumps" would be a night mare for the residents living in Cranberry Run and those residents who live across the street from Cranberry Run, also Dove High school would be involved. The traffic now on Forrest Ave is getting to be problem with way to much traffic. Putting in a convenience store with fuel pumps would only add to the problem. Is Draper farm crazy to think such a thought? The use of this land for this purpose is totally inappropriate. The current zoning of Single Family dwellings is the appropriate and logical land use that maintains the residents character of this area and the integrity of our neighborhood.

PROCLAMATIONS - PURPLE HEART CITY The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, the City of Dover and our community have a great admiration and the utmost gratitude for all of the men and women who have selflessly served their country and this community in the Armed Forces. The City of Dover has always supported its military veteran population; and, WHEREAS, veterans have paid the high price for freedom by leaving their families and communities and placing themselves in harm's way for the good of all, and the contributions and sacrifices of the men and women who serve in the Armed Forces are vital to maintaining the freedoms and way of life enjoyed by our citizens; and, WHEREAS, the Purple Heart is the oldest military decoration in present use and was initially created as the badge of Military Merit by General George Washington in 1782; and, WHEREAS, the Purple Heart was the first American Service award or decoration made available to the common soldier and is specifically awarded to members of the United States Armed Forces who have been wounded or paid the ultimate sacrifice in combat with a declared enemy of the United States of America; and, WHEREAS, the mission of the Military Order of the Purple Heart is to foster an environment of goodwill among the combat wounded veteran members and their families, promote patriotism, support legislative initiatives, and most importantly, make sure we never forget; and, WHEREAS, the City of Dover appreciates the sacrifices our Purple Heart recipients made in defending our freedoms and believe it is important that we acknowledge them for their courage and show them the honor and support they have earned.

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2021 PAGE 4 Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Kleimo stated that the property that DIMH was hoping to purchase on Queen Street and Division Street encompassed the Delaware Auto Sales building, parking lot, and one adjacent house on the same side of the service alley. Mr. Contant asked that when DIMH contacted City Staff that they provide information on whether or not the price listed in the presentation was the negotiated price or the list price and if they had any declarations about the condition of the buildings.

Property Tax Disability Exemption (Councilman Andre Boggerty and Councilman Gerald Rocha, Sr.) Mr. Rocha reviewed the research provided to him by Mrs. Cheryl Bundek, former Tax Assessor, regarding the current property tax disability exemption process for both the City of Dover and Kent County. Mrs. Patricia Marney, Customer Service Director, reviewed the financial impact of making changes to the current City of Dover exemption process. She stated that staff would like to get a legal opinion and put more time and effort into creating a quality document to present to Council before making any changes. Staff recommended conducting a more thorough review of the City Code including residency requirements, ownership requirements, income requirements, and the appeals and administration processes. Staff recommended conducting a review of area local government guidelines as well. Once that was complete, City Staff would bring back recommendations for a modification to the Property Tax Disability Exemption in September. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Marney stated that the Kent County income restrictions for the tax disability exemption were $18,000 for a single individual and $24,750 for a married couple. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Marney stated that the request for a legal opinion was included in the staff recommendation and that the Customer Service Department had reached out to the City Attorney.

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2021 PAGE 5 Mr. Neil moved to recommend referral back to staff for review and recommendation . The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committees’ recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Arndt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Approval to Conduct Winter Police Academy and Guidelines for Future Academies (Thomas Johnson, Police Chief) Police Chief Thomas Johnson reviewed a presentation on the Dover Municipal Police Academy 2022 Comparison/Considerations (Attachment #1). Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that if he hired four officers and put them in the State Police Academy in October they would receive a patrolman rate which was a recruit salary and he would have to start paying them as employees in October. He explained that if he deferred and ran an academy in-house starting in January, the payroll dollars that would otherwise go to those employees between October of 2021 and January of 2022 would not be expended; they would remain in the payroll account. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that the salary and all other associated benefits that make up the standard package offered to recruits equated to the $89,726.36 referred to on page 7 of the slideshow presentation. He explained that $89,726.36 would be the payroll account fiscal savings of hiring in January as opposed to October. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Chief Johnson stated that he invited other Chief's to pay to send recruits for training with him, which did generate some revenue. He explained that other agencies were required to pay for their own equipment. Chief Johnson noted that there was a $1,000 fee for the training services being offered, which fell between the standard fee for New Castle County's training ($750) and State Police training ($1,450). Responding to Mr. Lindell, Chief Johnson stated that he was not asking for any funds that were not already budgeted to the Police Department. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Chief Johnson stated that the cadet program had historically been an excellent recruitment tool. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Chief Johnson stated that, with the Police Department's screening process, they extend invitations to both certified and non-certified candidates for open positions. He noted that every candidate had to go through a background investigation and interview process. Page 111

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2021 PAGE 6 Responding to Mr. Contant, Chief Johnson stated that if the Academy did not start until January the officers would complete their training within a month of when they would have finished had they attended the Delaware State Police Training in October. Mr. Contant asked what the cost was to conduct the academy and how much money came from the Police Department budget and how much came from funding such as grants. Responding Chief Johnson stated that overtime occurs occasionally, depending on the size of the class and number of instructors necessary. He explained that if he only had one or two positions to fill, he did not see the value of running an academy session. Chief Johnson noted that once he had four or five positions to fill he felt it would be valuable for the Police Department to deliver its own core training. He stated that he was continuing to speak with the State legislature about the concept of State mandated training and the lack of State mandated funding to go along with it. Chief Johnson explained that he was continuing to have discussions with Delaware Technical and Community College to see how many of their resources could be harnessed for mutual interests. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Johnson stated that a lot of money went into session one of the academy due to the need to build the foundational piece of the training, but that session two was going much better. He explained that they currently had $15,000 worth of overtime but that would be covered by the Criminal Justice Council (CJC) Grant the Police Department was approved for. Chief Johnson noted that they did not believe they were going to exceed any dollars that were not already covered from other funding sources. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Johnson stated that other municipalities had offered personnel to come in and assist with the training. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Johnson stated that when the equipment eventually wore out there would be some minor issues to be addressed, but they would be nominal compared to the cost of the first session. He noted that federal forfeiture funds were able to be used for the Police academies. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of the proposed Winter Police Academy and to grant the Police Chief authorization to conduct a police academy at his discretion after consulting with Council on when he plans to do so. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committees’ recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Arndt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Page 112

Mrs. McDowell has been a transformative leader and continuously provided solid guidance to Council members and City Staff and has created a positive learning environment within the City Clerk's Office; and WHEREAS, Mrs. McDowell has processed hundreds of ordinances and resolutions and has attended countless Council, Committee, Commission and Board meetings while providing accurate minutes. She has been instrumental in bringing the City Clerk's Office and Council into the 21st century by implementing electronic packets, the in-house broadcasting of meetings, and making information easily accessible to the public through the City's website while ensuring transparency. Also, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Mrs. McDowell developed processes that allowed citizens to participate in meetings virtually that would protect their health and wellbeing while guaranteeing they had the ability to be heard.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE Adoption of Agenda Mr. Rocha moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Mrs. Arndt presiding in the absence of Mr. Anderson. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Replacement of 2003 Pierce Lance Engines 3 and 6 (David Carey, Fire Chief) Mr. David Carey, Fire Chief, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the replacement of 2003 Pierce Lance Engines 3 and 6. Staff recommended approval of the purchase of 2022 Pierce Enforcer Pumper. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Chief Carey stated that as far as he was aware there had been no correspondence back from the other two companies they had sought to bid. Responding to Mr. Neil, Chief Carey stated that two vehicles would be retired. He noted that normally they would sell the fire trucks to pay for new equipment but one of the trucks may have a blown engine so they were not sure if they would sell it as is or if they would fix it up to sell. Responding to Mr. Neil, Chief Carey stated that they had not lost any capability for the City despite going from two trucks to one due to the fact that the rescue engine had an extra pump that could carry water that the previous engine did not. Responding to Mr. Contant, Chief Carey stated that they had not applied for any grant money for the fire apparatus but they could look into it. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Carey stated that he would work with the City of Dover Grant Writer and the Fire Department Grant Writer to get financial assistance in this process. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Page 117

Item #3. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 27, 2021 PAGE 2 Discussion of Regular Council Meeting Start Time (Councilman William Hare) Mr. William Hare, Councilman Second District, reviewed the benefits of changing the start time of Regular Council Meetings from 7:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. He explained that the annual meeting would remain at 7:30 p.m. per the City of Dover Charter. Mr. Hare noted that Mr. David Anderson, Councilman Fourth District, had said that he was fine with changing to a 6:30 p.m. start time and would like his support included on the record. The recommendation was to change the Regular Council Meeting start time to 6:30 p.m. beginning in September 2021. Mrs. Arndt noted that Mr. Matthew Lindell, Councilman First District, had contacted her and expressed that he was not opposed to the 6:30 p.m. start time.

Evaluation of New Monthly Reports by the Mayor, Council President, and Members of City Council Mr. Roy Sudler, Council President, explained that the monthly reports he had requested of the Mayor, Council President and Members of City Council were not mandatory and he asked that the Council members decide whether it was something they wanted to do moving forward. Responding to Committee Members questions, Mr. Sudler advised the following: • The reports would be presented at the first Council Committee of the Whole meetings of each month rather than at Council Meetings • The reports could be presented either in written format or verbally • The reports would be no longer than 3 minutes long • If the representative has nothing to report, a report would not be required Mr. Sudler moved to recommend that the new monthly reports by the Mayor, Council President, and Members of City Council be presented at the first Council Committee of the Whole meeting each month either written or verbally and would be limited to three (3) minutes in length.

Item #3. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 27, 2021 PAGE 3 Dover Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update (Marilyn Smith, Executive Director, Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Leah Kacanda, Project Manager, Whitman, Requardt & Associates, LLP) Ms. Marilyn Smith, Executive Director, Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) introduced Ms. Leah Kacanda, Project Manager, Whitman, Requardt & Associates, LLP. Ms. Kacanda reviewed the background on the Dover Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and the recommendations for the project. Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) recommended adoption of the Dover Bicycle and Pedestrian plan as presented (plan was adopted by MPO Council on May 5, 2021). Mr. Neil and Mr. Sudler stated that they would like to reroute a bicycle route that was currently in front of Bennie Smith Funeral Home. Mr. Sudler requested that when the MPO and Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) looked into rerouting the bicycle route that an eight foot multi-use pad be used as the alternative. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Taylor stated that there was no way to include changes to the delineator or to rerouting the bicycle path at the current time. Ms. Kacanda stated that there was nothing binding in the plan presented and that there was a lot of flexibility when it came to designing the facility. Mr. Matt Harline, Interim City Manager, stated that the Committee could add a note to the study and accept it with a note from staff or it would go back to the MPO for revision. He noted that accepting the plan did not mean they could not continue to pursue some changes to the Senator Bikeway as it currently was. Responding to Mrs. Arndt, Mrs. Lisa Chase, Grant Writer, stated that the deadline to submit the Bicycle Friendly application had been extended to September 1, 2021. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) recommendation with the provision that the delineator discussion be revisited. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend that City Council declare the delineators on West Division Street, primarily in front of the Bennie Smith Funeral Home, undesirable, and potentially unsafe for that particular area and to instruct the City Manager and the Planning and Community Development Director to meet with DelDOT to discuss an alternative such as the multi-use eight foot asphalt pad. Mr. Rocha requested that the motion be amended to include emergency vehicles. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend that City Council declare the delineators on West Division Street, primarily in front of the Bennie Smith Funeral Home, undesirable, and potentially unsafe for that particular area and to instruct the City Manager and the Planning and Community Development Director to meet with DelDOT to discuss an alternative such as the multi-use eight foot asphalt pad. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Page 119

Three of the projects – the Dover Park Building, the Garrison Oak Substation and the Water Quality project were approved by Senator Carper’s office. They made the first cut, and now must make it through the appropriations process. The Garrison Oak Substation and the Dover Park Building were also approved by Senator Coons. Because the Dover Park Building received substantial state funding through the approved 2022 Bond Bill, we asked our senate congressional delegation to remove that from the federal appropriations process. This represents $6,000,000 in potential funding). Training/Webinars/Grant Information • Attended webinar on funding for city park.

Item #10. HUMAN RESOURCES June 2021 During the month of June, items that required the Director’s attention included, assisting the surviving spouse with a pension application, attending Active Shooter Training, job shadowing and attending a workers compensation annual stewardship meeting. Labor agreements were reached with DOE and FOP. Focus will now turn to educating management on the changes and implementing the changes. The IBEW labor negotiations continue with hopes of reaching an agreement in the very near future. With the departure of the prior City Manager, the Director has begun participating in the employee Diversity and Inclusion meetings. A group of employees represented the City at the African American Festival on Saturday, June 26. With labor contract negotiations coming to a conclusion, focus can be directed towards other matters. For example, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, continued work on the Personnel Policy and planning employee functions. In the month of June Human Resources Coordinator processed five new hires/promotions for the City of Dover and assisted with the contract negotiations for DOE and FOP. HR also attended two days of training webinars related to HR for Tyler/Munis with an anticipated live date of October 2021. Staff created documents for potential new city policies and began organization on a blood drive set up for the City of Dover. HR also rolled out Couch to 5K Run- Walk to support childhood cancer month. The event will take place at the Dover Police Department and proceeds from this event will be split between the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware and the Police Athletic League of Dover. Sexual Harassment Prevention Training was held in the month of June for newly hired employees. An email was sent to department heads informing them of the online training sessions for managers and in person training for non- managers.

Item #10. Information Technology Department June 2021 Larry Josefowski, Director We are continuing our narrative approach for another month. Incident tracking: New incident tracking system went active on July 1st. This will be a simpler, internal process that we hope will allow us to capture more of the work that is done, especially “casual” requests. We hope this will allow us to build a better knowledge base and provide a way for IT staff and others to better troubleshoot issues. The current system is Network Security (External): IT conducted a tabletop exercise sponsored by Conner Strong in early June. Key takeaways were the need to include more people in the exercise, develop an up to date response plan, defining areas of responsibilities, and to contact our insurance team early in the process, as they will likely handle communication with any agent that would harm our data. We’ve acquired a draft template, but we also continue to implement, upgrade, or put policies in effect to increase our cybersecurity posture. For the June reporting period, we had over 5,000 “low level” attempts at finding security vulnerabilities in to our network and 74 more serious attempts, which included 3 blocked virus and 21 malicious or known attacks detected on traffic into our network. Network Security (Internal) Several steps were taken to increase the security of the network, such as new policies that limited key vectors of attack. We also are communicating any of these changes in advance. Many of these changes were in anticipation of changing requirements of our cybersecurity insurance, as they require proactive steps be taken to continue the policy. While many have been “behind the scenes”, the requirement to use Multifactor Authentication for all City Email users will not. This will require those receiving city mail to have an additional security application on a cell phone or tablet. We continue to engage the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency from the Department of Homeland Security. Initial planning is for a series of assessments and reviews, with a more focused tabletop exercise being scheduled for January that we hope to include some of the other infrastructure teams in the city. Hardware Vulnerability: Assessments of the network infrastructure have been completed. Much of the existing hardware infrastructure (the routers and switches that connect our computers) is either at the end of its supported life, or it will go end of life this year. Budgeted capital resources could not be spent in the fiscal year due to computer chip shortages, but we did get approval to carry this project into the next fiscal year, and key equipment replacements were identified, and have been ordered. We also replaced the oldest piece of equipment in the city, a 21-year-old router. It would have been an extremely vulnerable piece of equipment to attack, but we were able to replace it for less than $300. Page 143
