Also proposed are sixteen (16) garage buildings, a clubhouse with a pool, walking paths, picnic areas, a dog park, playing field, parking, and other site improvements. The property is zoned RG- 2 (General Residence Zone) and C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). This development application is only for the residential zoned portion of the property. The commercial portion will be developed under a separate application. The property is located on the east side of McKee Road near the intersection of McKee Road and Scarborough Road. The owner of record is McKee Cap, LLC. Property Address: 1385 McKee Road. Tax Parcel: ED-05-067.00-02-57.00-000. Council District 4. Review of Active Recreation Area Plan with Consideration of Fee-in-lieu of Active Recreation Area Construction. Waiver Requests: Partial Elimination of Upright Curbing, Reduction of Required Parking, and the Elimination of Sidewalk along the Public Street Frontage. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Melson-Williams stated the city zoning ordinance requires a certain amount of square footage per dwelling unit to be provided as active recreation area. In the case of this project, they are not fully providing that square footage amount. Ms. Melson-Williams explained, the City of Dover zoning ordinance allows for a Cash-in-Lieu payment, and that payment is based on the amount the project is deficient. She further explained, the calculation involves submission of an appraisal, calculated for that the Cash-in-Lieu amount in the case of McKee Road Apartments just over $15,000 would be required, if approved. Ms. Melson-Williams stated the fee would be required to be paid before the first building permit application can be approved. In addition, the funds that come in for that Cash-in-Lieu payment is specifically placed in the Parkland reserve fund. The Parkland reserve fund is a restricted account that then is utilized for park facilities citywide. Ms. Melson-Williams further explained that a significant portion of this tract of land is wooded and wetland areas that may limit development activity. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Melson-Williams explained according to the zoning ordinance the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee should review the active recreation plan and make a recommendation. The recommendation is then carried forward to the Planning Commission. Ms. Melson-Williams explained, the Planning Commission is the final acting body in regards to the site development plan and the final say in the active recreation plan and cash-in-lieu amounts. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Jonathan Street, Associate with Becker Morgan stated the sidewalk along the front of the property would run across a stable drainage area. Mr. Street stated the sidewalk will be moved more onto the property than on the right of way. Mr. Street explained the target market of the apartments is young professionals, however, if the tenants were to be families the facility would support those tenants.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF APRIL 12, 2022 PAGE 3 Mr. Street further explained, that the tract of land is nearly 80 acres, more than half of the land is encumbered by wetlands. Mr. Street stated, the developer did not want to disturb the wetlands or the woodland and they need to manage the storm water. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Ms. Melson- Williams explained the current zoning ordinance does not have a requirement for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations. Ms. Melson- Williams further explained that planning staff have made the recommendation to make the area EV capable, meaning a conduit is placed in the ground prior to paving. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend the acceptance of the staff recommendation of the Active Recreation Area Plan and Consideration of Cash-in-Lieu of Active Recreation Construction - McKee Road Apartments at 1385 McKee Road.

Mr. Sudler asked Madam Assistant City Clerk Engle to read into record the history of Chapter 82 - Planning, Section 82-2 City Planner Ms. Engle read the history of Chpater 82 - Planning, Section 82-2 City Planner into record as follows: On July 24th, 2006, City Council adopted an ordinance amending Chapter 82 planning section 82-2 -City Planner to read as follows. There is hereby established the office of city planner who shall be selected by the City Council at its annual meeting and employed at the pleasure of mayor and counsel. The city planner shall be directly responsible to the mayor and council and shall function under their administration of the city manager. On November 9th, 2009 City Council adopted an ordinance amending the same Chapter 82 Section 82-2 City Planner to state; there is hereby established the office of city planner who shall be selected by the City Council at its annual meeting and employed at the pleasure of mayor and council. The city planner shall be directly responsible to the mayor and council. The difference in the two ordinances is in 2009, they remove the line that states; and shall function under the administration of the city manager.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF APRIL 12, 2022 PAGE 9 That brings us to 2015 Ordinance #2015-21 amended Chapter 82 Section 82-2 City Planner that states; there is hereby establish the office of city planner who shall be selected by the City Council. Ms. Engle stated Ordinance #2015-21 removed at its annual meeting and employed by the pleasure of mayor and council. The city planner shall be directly responsible to the mayor and council. Ms. Engle explained, the proposed ordinance before you today, states; there's hereby establish the office of city planner who shall be selected by the city manager and employed at the pleasure of city manager. The city planner shall be the director of planning, inspections and community development, and be directly responsible to the city manager. Mayor Christiansen stated that if Council feels their authority is being usurped, they certainly have the prerogative to insert language that is appropriate. Mayor Christiansen believes it is important that in the transition and leadership succession mantra that the city has adopted, that it is vital to have someone the planner can report to on a daily basis. Mayor Christiansen emphasized the importance that Council develop partnerships, but still maintain the responsibility that each has sworn to uphold to the citizens of the city that they represent. Mayor Christiansen recommended changing the language so council ultimately has control, but that the daily reporting will go to the city manager. Mr. Sudler thanked Mayor Christiansen for his opinion. Mr. Sudler recommended the language be changed to the city planners shall be directly responsible to the mayor and council and shall function under the administration of the City Manager. Mr. Hare disagreed with Mayor Christiansen and Mr. Sudler and stated he believed Ordinance #2022-03 should accepted as recommended. Mr. Rocha disagreed with the Mayor Christiansen and Mr. Sudler and stated he did not know the reason behind the historical changes and felt Ordinance #2022-03 should be accepted as recommended.

Mr. Contant stated that the City Council is elected by the people to determine the direction that the city of Dover will take. Mr. Contant further explained that a compromise would be that City Council selects the person and they serve at their pleasure, but the planner reports on a daily basis to the City Manager and keeps him in the loop, and lets the City manager take care of all of the operational day to day activities. Mr. Neil stated he was in agreement with Mr. Contant. Mr. Boggerty requested that the City Manager be involved in the hiring process if they are expected to oversee the City Planner. Ms. Arndt stated she did not have an issue with the City Planner working directly for the City Manager, because the City Manager reports directly to City Council. Mr. Taylor stated he was in full agreement with the Proposed Ordinance #2022-03 as written.

Mr. Hugg further explained that council entrusts him to hire an Assistant City Manager, a Public Works Director, a Water Wastewater Director, an Electric Director, people who carry out major responsibilities for the city, and he is held accountable for that. Mr. Hugg stated he believes that the city planner should be part of that team.
