COMMUNICATIONS & REPORTS
Mrs. Melson-Williams provided an update on the regular City Council and various Committee
meetings held on February 28 & March 1, 2022 and March 14 & 15, 2022.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the next Planning Commission regular meeting is scheduled
for Monday, April 18, 2022 at 7:00PM in the City Hall Council Chambers and we will continue
to provide an opportunity for virtual participation as well.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that other updates from the Planning Office include that this is the
time of year that you are now late if you have not renewed your Rental Dwelling Permit or
Public Occupancy Permit. A second reminder was sent to those people. She wanted to extend a
big thank you to a number of City Departments and Staff from our Office. With last week’s fire
in Downtown Dover, our Fire Marshal’s Office, the Police Department and Public Works Office
were all heavily involved in the aftermath of that incident. It continues to be under investigation
at this point. It is a significant building corner in our Downtown area and we hope for the best as
things move forward from that event.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that there are some reminders for those of you who own property in
the City of Dover. We do have Property Maintenance regulations and one of those is that when
grass grows, there is a maximum height for grass in the City of Dover and that is 8 inches. So get
your mowers tuned up now since Spring appears to be inching ever closer to us with that taste

over the weekend. A reminder for people who are on the City’s water system, tonight is the
second night of the flushing program of our water system. The Department of Water &
Wastewater has a map series to cover the entire City. You can find more information on the
City’s website when they will be in your area of the City where you may expect some water
discoloration. If you have any concerns with that, you can reach out to their Department. They
would be happy to help you understand what to do to clear those lines as a result of that flushing
program.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that there are training opportunities for the Planning Commission
members. In the packet was information on the Institute for Public Administration at the
University of Delaware. Their next upcoming training opportunity is on April 1, 2022 on the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for Local Officials. The fact that we are having an open
meeting this evening is part of the rules for the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for the State.
If you are interested in participating in that training session, please alert Staff and they will get
you registered for it. It is a virtual session but you do need to register ahead of time because there
is a registration fee.

NEW APPLICATIONS
Z-22-01 Lands of the State of Delaware at South Governors Avenue and West Water Street -
Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council of a Rezoning Application to
adjust the boundary of the H (Historic District Zone) to include a series of six (6) parcels
consisting of a total of 1.74 +/- acres and an alley as the balance of the lands for the new Kent
County Family Courthouse project site. The properties are zoned IO (Institutional and Office
Zone) and subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone). The proposed
zoning is IO (Institutional and Office Zone), subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection
Overlay Zone), and subject to the H (Historic District Zone). The properties are located on the
east side of South Governors Avenue between West Water Street and Bank Lane. The owner of
record is the State of Delaware. Property Addresses: 411 S. Governors Avenue, 429 S.
Governors Avenue, 435 S. Governors Avenue, 439 S. Governors Avenue/117 West Water Street,
441 S. Governors Avenue, and 447 S. Governors Avenue. Tax Parcels: ED-05-077.09-03-37.00-

Item 1.
Newell, Delaware Family Court; Mr. Bill Lenihan, Tevebaugh Architecture
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is a Rezoning Application that has an associated File
Number of HI-22-02 which the Historic District Commission will deal with later this week. It is a
series of parcels as you can see from the Exhibit Map that are shown in the hashed area located to
the northeast of Governors Avenue and West Water Street. It is a series of properties owned by
the State of Delaware and also a segment of an alley which is a City alley that is in the process of
being transferred to the State. In total, this is about 1.74 acres of land. It is currently zoned IO
(Institutional and Office Zone) and subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay
Zone). This request is to extend the boundaries of the H (Historic District Zone) which is depicted
on the Exhibit Map in the orange color. This request would expand those boundaries to the balance
of this block in Downtown Dover. The properties that we are dealing with have frontage on South
Governors Avenue and two of them also have frontage on West Water Street. This area of the City
has a mix of zoning classifications. Across the street to the west are areas zoned C-2A (Limited
Central Commercial Zone). There are areas adjacent to it that are zoned IO (Institutional and Office
Zone) and then a series of properties that area zoned RGO (General Residence and Office Zone)
and those are primarily properties in that are fronting on The Green or on South State Street. A
number of them, as noted, are already within the Historic District Zone. With the Comprehensive
Plan for the City of Dover, in their Report, they call out two items of note. Chapter 6 of the
Comprehensive Plan offers a series of goals related to historic resources and one of the
recommendations is to look at areas for potential expansion of the Historic District designation
which this application does. Also, there are goals in the Comprehensive Plan related to Mixed Use
which is a land use category in the Downtown. The focus of the Downtown Area is as a traditional
and symbolic center of the community and the Comprehensive Plan notes that efforts should
recognize its unique heritage and historic resources while also providing opportunities for Mixed
Use development that you would find in such Downtown areas. From a zoning review perspective,
the City’s Zoning Ordinance has established a Historic District and the purpose of that District is
“to preserve and enhance the unique character and value of the old portion of Dover as an area of
special charm and interest. It is particularly intended that the regulations prevent in the Historic
District, any change of conditions that would be deemed to be a disfigurement or degradation of
the present unique visual and architectural qualities of the District” and that is from Article 3,
Section 21 of the Zoning Ordinance. To amend the boundaries of the District, the Zoning
Ordinance has a series of criteria for consideration. The ones of most interest in this request are
that by expanding the boundaries it gives a more clear and distinctive boundary to the Historic
District; basically along streets rather than zig-zagging through a series of property lines. This is
also a request that the property owner has made which is one of the criteria. Then there are a series
of other criteria including increased potential for economic and community development as a result
of the designation. It is the recommendation of Staff that the Rezoning to the Historic District Zone
be granted citing the consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. We find that it does make a clearer
more distinctive boundary so that the entire block is located in the Historic District Zone. The
Historic District Zone has a series of Design Standards and Guidelines that guide development
activities in those areas and that would be utilized for any future development at the project site.
Tonight, we are dealing with a Recommendation regarding the Rezoning; it is not a review of the
potential development. She will note that the potential development area is much larger. As it
stands at the moment, part of it is in the Historic District and part of it is not; hence part of the
reason for the request to bring the entire land area under the Historic District Zone. Displayed as

Item 1.
a graphic is the submission plan from the applicant. The shaded area shows the properties and alley
that are the request this evening for a Rezoning.
Mr. Battista stated that they are seeking to Rezone this location which has been identified by the
State of Delaware for a proposed future site of the Family Court in Delaware. From his perspective,
this makes sense because if you look at the diagram now, part of the proposed location is in the
Historic District and part of it is not. So, it makes sense to bring it all under the umbrella of one
overviewing agency with respect to the approvals that are necessary. It doesn’t eliminate all of the
future approvals that you would need to get with respect to any construction, demolition or
easements that have to occur. With respect to the recommendation that you provide to the City, he
would ask Judge Newell to give the Commission some background as to why we are here, how we
got here and how they believe that this is a benefit to the City and why it should be within the
Historic District. After which Mr. Lenihan can kind of get into the actual details and facts with
respect to what it’s going to look like, what they are going to do, and where do we go from here.
Judge Newell stated that what he has been asked to do is give the Commission a little bit of the
background as to how we got here for this project. In 2006, a number of years before his time as
Chief Judge, there was a southern court facilities study that rendered the current Family Court
Building that is located at 400 Court Street as inadequate. Since that time, there have been other
studies conducted for the feasibility of the current building to be refurbished and expanded and
none of those have proven to be acceptable to the needs of our current Court. In 2012, the United
States Marshals, they serve as Federal Judiciary, but they were retained to do a security study and
also cited significant issues with the current building with respect to size and security. So, the
issues tonight that he wants to focus on are size of the building, security of the building, dignity of
our building and what he calls collaboration. The new building will allow us to have the
Department of Justice, the Office of Defense Services, the Office of Child Advocate, the Division
of Child Support Services, and the Department of Services of Children, Youth and their Families
to have adequate space to be able to operate within the confines of our building. That is extremely
important so that litigants have the ability to have confidential conversations and dignity which he
will get to, to have that conducted in the privacy of a conference room, not standing out in a hall.
He mentioned size. The current Family Court Building is 35,000 SF of space. The new building
will be approximately 105,000 SF of space. We are utilizing and living in every inch of the space
in the current building. That is one of the reasons why he mentioned earlier about the collaboration
and the inclusion of the other agencies and their ability to conduct their business in a private and
dignified and confidential manner. The average courtroom size in the Family Court Building in
Dover is approximately 600 SF which is significantly lower than any courtroom standards that
exist today. Next, are the security issues that we have in the building. This building was built in
1989 prior to September 11, 2001 which we all know what happened to our Country at that time.
Security standards have significantly been revised and modified. He worked with the Second Chief
Judge while he was in law school who built the building at the time and he has a great deal of
respect for him. Fortunately, over the years with the complexities of population growth, judicial
officers going to the court, filings have increased and our jurisdiction has expanded, the current
building just no longer serves as a functional courthouse. There are no separate waiting areas for
victims which we are required to have. He has already mentioned a couple of times now, no
confidential areas for attorney and client participation. When litigants want to come in and fill out
petitions, they will do so in an open area. It is not necessarily private enough for the types of
4
7
Page 8
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 21, 2022
Item 1.
petitions that are filed in our court. Significantly, with the building currently does not
accommodate what is called mixed circulation for the public, the people who are detained or
incarcerated who come before us and our Staff in our judicial offices. The people who are
incarcerated park in the same parking garage as our judicial officers and have to come through the
parking lot where our employees park. There is a sally port in this current building but
unfortunately given the size of our vans, the sally port doors aren’t able to be closed allowing open
access to the outside judicial officers vehicles. The prisoners and detainees take the same elevators
as the judicial officers do from the parking garage to the courtroom floors. If you have ever visited
the building, you would see this from the public’s view but the detainees are escorted to the
courtroom through the interior hallway where our Judges and employees’ offices are. That creates
a significant risk but it is also an issue of dignity also regardless of where you stand on the criminal
justice spectrum. Prisoners should not be paraded down hallways in their jumpsuits and shackles
when they can actually access a courtroom from an access right off of a courtroom. Finally, the
dignity. As you can imagine if you have had any experience with our Court, we deal with some of
the most personal, intimate and heart wrenching issues that involve families and children. A
dignified, safe and an appropriately sized courthouse is not a luxury; it really is a necessity. We
want this Courthouse to be a civic presence in Dover and he thinks it will do that once we get to
showing the design of the building later this Spring. Just so you know, it is estimated at this point,
that this project will cost approximately $122,000,000. He thinks that it is appropriate that he is
standing before you on the first full day of Spring because we are hopeful that Spring brings
freshness and revitalization. We are hoping that this project will do the same to the area of Dover.
Mr. Lenihan stated that to reply back to Mrs. Melson-Williams’ comments, they do agree with all
of the comments from the Development Advisory Committee and the Planning Department in their
summary of the project. One of the things that you see on the screen right now is the hashed area
for the parcels that we are asking to be included into the Historic District by adjusting the Historic
District boundary. As you can see, this is the full area of the State of Delaware parcels of the
combined site. They go along the full block of Governors Avenue, from Water Street all the way
to Bank Lane and then most of the block of Water Street all the way up to properties that front
South State Street. So that will become the full continuous site as they have adjoined all of the
parcels there. With this, that hashed area that is on the monitor (plan sheet being presented) is only
approximately half of the total site area. The main reason why they are requesting this adjustment
with the boundary here is to really make this site consistent with the IO (Institutional and Office
Zone) boundary for this full site that you see on the screen. They are very appreciative that the
City of Dover went through the process in 2021 to rezone this whole site for IO (Institutional and
Office Zone) that would allow for this Family Court Complex to be constructed. This is a great
project for the State of Delaware for all of the reasons that Judge Newell mentioned but also it
really creates a Courthouse Campus. With the Kent County Courthouse just across the other side
of State Street and the other offices and departments and attorneys who practice in these
courthouses to all be down in this one area. It has been mentioned that he refers to this as a two-
step public process. The first step is what we are going through now to adjust the boundary of the
Historic District and the second step would be the normal development process where we would
have review of the site and the buildings. So, we have an application into the Planning Department
now to appear before this board again in May for that part of the process. He will show the
Commission an exhibit that they will see in May that has the footprint of the proposed buildings
so that you can see how the site is proposed to layout. At the corner of South Governors Avenue
5

and West Water Street would be the front entrance of the L shaped Courthouse that is shown in
the baby blue color on the board here. Then there would be the existing Water Street parking lot
that would be a smaller footprint and then there would be a parking structure on Governors Avenue
towards Bank Lane. You can see the boundary of the Historic District where it is right now,
subdivides the Courthouse and the parking structure. It will keep this project consistent with the
new IO (Institutional and Office Zone) Zoning Map and also the Comprehensive Plan and the
boarder of the National Register of (Historic Places) The Green Historic District Area which
includes this full block. Also, with the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization
in 2010 Dover Transit Center Neighborhood Plan, this is consistent with all of their
recommendations. So, we are asking for approval to adjust the Historic District boundary for all
of these reasons.
Mr. Hartman stated that it appears that we will be losing some parking on that site, but he knows
that this is just the first step. Does Planning Staff have any concerns about the loss of parking
with this project? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is a
Rezoning Application, so we are just dealing with a Rezoning request. The applicant has been
working with Planning Staff regarding the site development elements of it. She believes that they
will be addressing parking to his satisfaction but that is not what we are here to talk about
tonight. What the applicant has shown is indicating that there is a parking structure to come and
there are some other plans for parking related to displacement of what’s currently there on part of
the overall site. But tonight is just about rezoning.
Mr. Hartman stated that he understands that this is just the first step but one of the problems with
the original Courthouse was inadequate parking. The Judge didn’t mention anything about the
inadequacies of the current Family Court and he just wanted to understand that without the
benefit of a parking garage, he was concerned that it would detrimentally impact either the Kent
County Courthouse parking or the law firms or Attorney General’s parking. Responding to Mr.
Hartman, Mr. Lenihan stated that the State of Delaware commissioned a parking study for this
project because we wanted to make sure that they are not only meeting the zoning requirements,
but they also wanted to make sure that they had an adequate parking for the project. With that,
the Parking Study looked at over one year’s worth of cases and hearings at the existing
Courthouse. They talked about what time of day the hearings occurred and also days of the
week; so, that they could come up with a solid number for what the real demand for the parking
for visitors and employees for the Courthouse are. Then they looked at how many spaces would
be displaced by the new structures. They also talked to other neighborhood organizations and the
City of Dover to get their input as well. The new full site between the onsite parking and the
parking garage will have more parking than is required by Code and will meet the Demand Study
listed in the Parking Study.
Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the
public hearing.
Mr. Hartman moved to recommend approval to City Council for application Z-22-01 Lands of
the State of Delaware at South Governors Avenue and West Water Street in the matter of the
rezoning application to adjust the boundary of the Historic District to include a series of six
parcels and an alley as the balance of the lands of the Kent County Family Court. He bases the

approval on the consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, the request from the State of
Delaware as the owner and the recommendations of Planning Staff, seconded by Dr. Jones and
the motion was carried 8-0 with Mr. Roach absent. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on the
motion. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; based on previous statements and Staff recommendation. Dr.
Jones voting yes; for reasons previously stated and for the presentation that she could
understand. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; for the reasons stated in the motion itself. Mrs. Malone
voting yes; based on reasons stated. Mr. Cooper voting yes; based on all of the reasons listed in
the motion. Mrs. Denney voting yes; based on testimony before us tonight and just review of the
plan. Obviously, this is sorely needed to rezone this area so that we can have some continuity
with our new Family Court. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for reasons provided in the motion.
S-22-02 Frito Lay Exchange Center at Lafferty Lane – Public Hearing and Review of a Site
Development Plan Application for the construction of a 7,884 SF warehouse and associated site
improvements. The property is zoned M (Manufacturing Zone) and is subject to the AEOZ
(Airport Environs Overlay Zone). The property consists of 22.86 acres (995,996.38 SF) and as
part of this application will be subdivided into two parcels. Lot 1 being 19.74 acres (880,045.42
SF) and Lot 2 (the lot to be developed) being 2.99 acres (130,579.33 SF). The property is located
on the north side of Lafferty Lane approximately one quarter mile west of Horsepond Road. The
owner of record Devreco, LLC. Property Address: Lafferty Lane. Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-
077.16-02-05.00-000. Council District 2. Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Curbing. Also
for Consideration: Performance Standards Review Application.
Representatives: Mr. Brock Parker, Parker & Associates
Ms. Bulkilvish stated that this is Application S-22-02 Frito Lay Exchange Center at Lafferty
Lane. This is a Development Plan as well as a Subdivision Plan. The plan is to develop a small
portion of 22.86 acre property. The Subdivision would divide the property into Lot 1 of 19.74
acres and the smaller lot to be developed as Lot 2 of 2.99 acres. The property is zoned M
(Manufacturing Zone) and it is also in the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone) in the APZI
(Accident Potential Zone I) and APII (Accident Potential Zone II) as well as Noise Zone A.
These are important because it limits the types of uses that can occur on the site. It is a little bit
more restrictive than what is allowed by the M (Manufacturing Zone). What is being proposed is
a 7,884 SF warehouse with parking as well as eight loading docks. This is going to be the Frito
Lay Exchange Center where delivery drivers will come and pick-up their delivery trucks, load
them up from the warehouse, and drive out to their distribution centers; and, then come back to
pick-up their personal vehicles from the lot at the end of the day. Also for consideration tonight
are the Performance Review Standards that the applicant has provided in a separate document.
Basically, that is to make sure that there use will not have any kind of noxious effects on the
neighboring properties. They have also requested a waiver for the partial elimination of sidewalk
along the western and northern boundaries of the property at that larger parking area and that is
to accommodate the stormwater flow into their drainage at the rear of the property. They have
also provided connection into the larger property which they do not plan on curbing for future
connection into that second larger parcel that they are creating. The project did have some
landscaping. They provided three Crape Myrtles and some rose bushes; however, with our
landscaping requirements they are deficit of forty-one trees which they will have to show in a
future landscape plan. The other concern that Planning Staff had was the architecture.

Item 1.
Unfortunately, we do not have that (image) in our presentation tonight. But the portion of the
building that does face the road is kind of void of any windows and just has two doors at the
front. It doesn’t really reflect the architecture of the neighboring property of the George & Lynch
Construction Company offices because there are a lot more windows and glass on their frontage.
However, they are proposing windows along the other sides of the building so she believes that
they could carry those around to the front and kind of mesh that look like the neighboring
properties as well.
Mr. Parker stated that the Frito Lay Exchange Center is basically a hub where big trucks come in
and drop off boxes of product and little trucks take it from there and deliver it to their routes in
the general vicinity. Obviously with a project like this, the internal circulation for trucks is pretty
vital. So, there is wide expanse of paving in front of the building to get the trucks in, turned
around, etc. That provides the ability to set the building pretty far back off of Lafferty Lane to
provide about 150 feet of green space in between the building and Lafferty Lane. The parking
behind the is to get it off the street and get it behind the building where it belongs. We do show
an internal cut-through or shared access to the property next door. That is in anticipation of some
inter-parcel connectivity as you probably want when you plan a site this large. We really don’t
know what we are doing on the remainder. That’s why we are just subdividing this piece off into
a little 3-acre lot and proposing what we are proposing today. Obviously, we would have to
return for the reminder of the lands if a proposal was ever generated for that. As far the
development of the property itself, we have prepared the DelDOT Plans that we’ve submitted to
DelDOT. We have gotten the first round of comments back from them and nothing is overly
catastrophic because DelDOT really tells you what they want before you get into the plans.
Essentially, they are hitting us for a full turn lane in the middle, acceleration and deceleration
lanes on our side as well as a full multi-modal walking path along the frontage. They didn’t take
it easy on us but they have it accommodated on the Plan that we’ve submitted, and we will
receive comments back. As far as stormwater goes, we have submitted the plans back to the Kent
Conservation District and we are awaiting comments there, but the design is completed. We are
comfortable with the design and the plans that we are showing the Commission today. They feel
confident that they can realize this plan exactly how you are looking at it. We are aware of and
we have read the full DAC Comments. We are fully aware of them and they take no exception.
We can comply with all of them including the addition of an embarrassing number of trees. The
architecture can be revised and we feel like we can make Staff happy with the addition of some
windows and some other gingerbread on that side of the building that faces the road. As far as
the other stuff, we don’t really see a problem with complying with getting this thing to fruition.
Mr. Hartman stated that the Fire Marshal had some concerns about the width of the driving area
for emergency apparatus. Have you resolved that concern yet? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr.
Parker stated that he feels as though we haven’t engaged the Fire Marshal with their exact
submittal. We do have significant drive aisles around the building. The parking space itself is
about a forty-foot drive aisle and then we have one hundred and some feet on the other side of
the building.
Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing.

Item 1.
Mr. Gilkerson stated that he had no additional comments as Mr. Parker did a great presentation.
We are excited to move forward with the project and get rolling with construction.
Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing.
Mr. Hartman stated that he thought he had read that Planning Staff had approved the waiver.
Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that is correct. With the waiver for
upright curbing, the Zoning Ordinance gives the City Planner the ability to consider and grant
that waiver.
Mrs. Welsh moved to approve S-22-02 Frito Lay Exchange Center at Lafferty Lane to subdivide
the lot into two parcels and inclusive of the Performance Standards Review noted, seconded by
Mr. Baldwin
Mrs. Melson-Williams asked to confirm that the motion includes approval of the Site
Development Plan.
Mrs. Welsh and Mr. Baldwin both agreed to include the Site Development Plan approval in the
original motion and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Roach absent. Mrs.
Welsh voting yes; it seems to be a good use of the property and probably well needed. Mrs.
Malone voting yes; for the same reasons as Mrs. Welsh. Mr. Cooper voting yes; based on Staff
recommendations as well as the applicant’s willingness to make adjustments based on
recommendations. Mrs. Denney voting yes; she thinks that it is an excellent use for this
particular parcel, and it fits well within what the City would like to have there. They have made
adjustments as requested by the Planning Department. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on the
fact that the warehouse building as described is in compliance with the M (Manufacturing Zone)
and the Performance Standards Review Letter demonstrates the intent to comply with the
Performance requirements stipulated by the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; based
on all of the previous comments. Dr. Jones voting yes; based upon the previous reasons given as
well as the applicant’s agreement to address any concerns raised. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for
reasons previously stated.
S-22-03 Restaurant at 801 North State Street - Public Hearing and Review of a Site Development
Plan Application for the construction of a 7,681 SF Restaurant with outdoor patio dining and
associated site improvements. The property is zoned C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone).
The property consists of 1.943 acres (84,637.08 SF) and is located on the east side of North State
Street, southwest of Lepore Drive. The property is bordered by Silver Lake to the south. The
owner of record is Lopez Kent County, LLC. Property Address: 801 South State Street. Tax
Parcel Number: ED-05-068.09-01-13.00-000. Council District 3. Waiver Request: Partial
Elimination of Curbing. For Consideration - Bank Stabilization for Reduction of Setback
Requirement from Silver Lake.
Representatives: Mr. Jaime Sechler, Davis, Bowen and Friedel; Mr. Mike Glick, Lighthouse
Construction
Mr. Swierczek stated that this is a Site Development Plan Application for a property located at
801 North State Street. This is on the east side of North State Street immediately abutting Silver
9

Item 1.
Lake. On the Site Plan shown on the screen, Silver Lake is to the left of the development. The
property is just under 2 acres and it is currently vacant but was most recently the site of a single-
family home which he believes there was a fire there and the structure was demolished several
years ago. This property has been vacant for a few years. The restaurant as noted is a little over
7,600 SF and it is proposed to be the El Azteca Restaurant. There are a couple of items that
Planning Staff have identified. Specifically, as it is immediately abutting Silver Lake, there is a
requirement to provide a minimum 100-foot setback from the water to any impervious surfaces
on the property. The applicant does have the ability to have that minimum setback reduced,
provided that they can meet certain standards. In Item 5 – Site Considerations of the DAC
Report, you can see that there is a graphic that is provided that sort of displays what these kinds
of requirements could be. Specifically, it is noted that the setback could be reduced to 30 feet
from the edge of water if the applicant can sufficiently provide the evidence that they will be
providing bank stabilization which essentially means that there will be a luxuriant amount of
native foliage there to stabilize the bank at the water’s edge. There are further images in the
packet that the applicants had submitted showing that they would be providing well beyond what
that minimum standard would be for the plantings at the water’s edge. As it is immediately
abutting Silver Lake, it was referred to the Silver Lake Commission. The members of the Silver
Lake Commission had reviewed this application and on the Commissioners’ desks tonight was a
collection of their comments that were sent to Planning Staff this afternoon. On the whole, they
were mostly noting the conditions of the site as in terms of how many trees may be removed,
landscaping conditions on the water’s edge, etc. There were no major comments or objections to
this Site Development Application. The applicants have submitted one waiver for the partial
elimination of upright curbing. They had been showing the six-inch upright curbing along the
edge of drive aisles and parking immediately abutting the proposed restaurant; however, the rest
of the parking lot is not showing any of the curbing. The waiver submitted has noted that they
were requesting this waiver for the bulk of the drive aisles and parking areas in order to facilitate
the sheet-flow and stormwater management. Based on the plans that we have seen, we are not
entirely sure how removing the six-inch upright curbing from the entirety of the exterior of the
site and along that interior island would be necessary in order to facilitate that. So, Planning Staff
is still requiring the six-inch upright curbing to be continued at the entrance where it wraps
around to the first parking spaces at the north and south as well as along the central island. They
will continue to work with the applicant. If they provide information to us that shows that would
be necessary, then of course Planning Staff will revise their comments on that. Additionally on
the plan submitted, they had not been showing the bicycle parking based on the number of
vehicle parking spaces which he believes is 76. There is a general requirement in the Zoning
Ordinance that for every 20 vehicle parking spaces, you provide a minimum of one bicycle
parking space. The applicant has indicated that it will not be an issue and they will provide the
minimum four bicycle parking spaces. They have also shown a new sidewalk along the North
State Street frontage there where you also see a turn lane. The applicant has also told Planning
Staff that they will be providing a dedicated pedestrian or sidewalk entrance from that new
sidewalk on the North State Street frontage onto the site as well. For recommendations,
specifically Planning Staff was cognizant of the Dumpster enclosure being located on the eastern
side of the proposed restaurant near to the Overlook Subdivision to the east. Noting that, we had
included a recommendation that the dumpster enclosure should be a masonry build to be a more
durable material and then aesthetically it should match the general aesthetic itself and that there
should be added landscaping there as to make it as pleasant for the neighboring properties as
10
13

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 21, 2022
Item 1.
possible. Additionally, as this is a commercial use immediately abutting residential uses, there is
a provision of the Zoning Ordinance that requires an opaque barrier to be installed when a
commercial use is immediately abutting a residential use. On the plan that you see on the screen,
the residential uses technically only are directly abutting this property sort of in the middle at the
bottom. Staff had included a recommendation that the opaque barrier requirement essentially be
implemented on the entirety of the eastern property boundary abutting the Overlook Subdivision.
So basically, the property seen at the bottom of the screen that would include the opaque fence
and added landscaping. There is a general requirement for landscaping on development in the
City where it is required to provide a minimum of one tree for every 3,000 square feet. The plan
submitted had shown twenty-seven trees; however, they are required to show twenty-nine. They
have indicated that it should not be an issue to add those trees. They note again that there will be
added landscaping required for the bank stabilization on the edge of Silver Lake and added
landscaping requirements to fulfill the opaque barrier requirements along the Overlook at Silver
Lake property.
Mr. Sechler stated that he just wanted to reiterate a few things that Mr. Swierczek spoke of. This
is a 7,681 SF restaurant with seventy-five parking spaces. They are going to provide the bicycle
parking as noted and also the sidewalk to the entry of our property. As far as the upright curbing,
they submitted a plan of where we would like curbing along the building and where we would
like to remove it. The reason stating that is that he knows the Silver Lake Commission had some
concerns about contamination and everything like that. We do the design and for the Kent
Conservation District, the more sheet-flow that you can do across the grasses or bio-media or
anything like that helps treat all of the contaminants potentially in the runoff. So, to be able to
have it sheet-flow across the grass and then also treated again in the stormwater facility would
just help to facilitate that. Curbing is required and it is what it is. It just goes straight into a catch
basin and then into the stormwater facility where it is not treated quite as much as if it is allowed
to sheet flow across some other type of media or grass. They did meet with the Kent
Conservation District prior to this meeting to go over the Silver Lake Drainage Study and
sufficient items like that. He met with Jared at the Kent Conservation District and there didn’t
seem to be any issues that they wouldn’t be able to work through all of that and our design with
him. We also met with DelDOT to discuss our entrance design and they are going to need a right
turn lane. Obviously, this portion of North State Street already has a suicide left lane so that
suffices and also the pedestrian facilities out front. The restaurant also was located in a way so
that the rear of the restaurant kind of faced away from all of the residential adjacent to us to try
direct noise and things like that towards any of the residential properties.
Mr. Hartman asked if they addressed the opaque fencing requirement. Responding to Mr.
Hartman, Mr. Sechler stated that he did not but he believes that the Code requires like a six foot
high opaque fence to be installed at the location where they are adjacent to residential units and
we can install that.
Mr. Hartman asked if he was saying about the recommendations presented by the Planning
Office, they intend to follow those? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Sechler stated that was
correct. There were twenty-seven trees and we need twenty-nine, but it was just a miscalculation.
Yes, we agree with them.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 21, 2022
Item 1.
Mr. Hartman asked what consideration they had given to the neighborhood concerning the
lighting coming from the facility. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Sechler stated typically the
City of Dover has their own recommendations but everything shines down and away from
adjacent properties. Then there is a certain illumination that is required by the City, but
everything would be down and away from all of the adjacent properties.
Mrs. Denney stated that one of her concerns in reviewing this is noise. You have a restaurant
with outdoor dining and she sees some potential of a party area. As she looks at this plan, she is
thinking what about the noise for the neighbors?
Mr. Glick stated that they looked at two items when addressing the noise for the outdoor dining.
One, the outdoor dining is all roofed so any sound would not be traveling upwards. So, we are
covered at least on the back side of the restaurant and the roof structure. As well as looking at
placement on the property, none of the outdoor dining is facing directly to any of the residential.
We looked down State Street which actually crosses over the cemetery area. So, to minimize any
impact with adjacent properties, we tried to develop all of the outdoor dining pointing in that
direction.
Dr. Jones asked if the applicant could speak about the ADA compliant ramps. Responding to Dr.
Jones, Mr. Sechler stated that on the Site Plan, everything anymore starting from State Street in
all has to follow the ADA guidelines. Typically, we design to be anywhere from a 2% cross-
load. Everything from the State Street inward and also the handicapped parking out front and
your sidewalk accessibility even throughout the restaurant has to follow those guidelines to be
approved and inspected.
Dr. Jones asked if that included the ramps. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Sechler stated yes, the
ramps 100% will have to be inspected. Everything will be ADA compliant as well as inside the
restaurant.
Mr. Hartman asked what the setback was for the restaurant across the street. Responding to Mr.
Hartman, Mr. Swierczek stated that he was not sure off the top of his head. He does know that it
is reduced and that it did have to get a variance related in part to being in the Flood Plain as well
as to have the setback reached.
Mr. Hartman asked if they considered a design with a larger setback with the 100 feet. Did you
consider a design with that setback as well? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Seckler stated not
really. With the larger setback in this area, the site is not conducive to a restaurant with the
amount of parking required; they would need to do a 75-foot setback here. With stormwater
management, it could be done but it’s very largely expensive with underground chambers, etc.
that might be required so he is not sure that the client may move forward.
Mr. Glick stated that with the addition of the riparian buffer, it gives us the ability to reduce to
the thirty-foot setback. We looked at placement of the structure and we came to Mr. Sechler’s
comment. It is conducive to the restaurant at its current location and it also optimizes where the
parking is. The bulk of parking is to the right and to the west and north of the building, furthest
away from residential. Again, they are trying to push it as much as we can. Obviously, we can’t
12
15

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 21, 2022
Item 1.
give it all away but the further we can keep the parking towards State Street as well as to the
north side were the billboard is, the further we are away from the residential properties.
Mr. Hartman stated that he appreciated the amount of thought that was put into the application.
Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing.
Mr. Ed McNamara – 122 Overlook Place Dover, DE 19901
Mr. McNamara stated that he had a couple of questions that the applicant can probably answer.
What will the opaque fence material be? Responding to Mr. McNamara, Mr. Sechler stated that
it will be a PVC type material.
Mr. McNamara questioned if there was only one way in and out of the property. Responding to
Mr. McNamara, Mr. Sechler stated yes, there is only one entrance on State Street.
Mr. Eric Norton – 627 Venue Drive Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Norton asked if in addition to the roof over the outdoor seating, can they also put a wall
around it to keep the noise localized. Responding to Mr. Norton, Mr. Glick stated that there will
be a wall on what he would call on the eastern side of the property where residential is to help
block the sound. There would be both the opaque fencing on the actual property line and then
you would have a physical wall where the outdoor dining occurs so that no sound can transmit
towards the residential.
Mr. Norton asked if they could move the garbage can up to where that uppermost tree is. It
would be an easy fix to move the smell. Responding to Mr. Norton, Mr. Glick stated that they
can certainly look at that. One of the issues is that the Kent Conservation District, because of the
type of ponds that we can likely have on this property, has asked us to try to keep the trash
structures away from the ponds at best. So that area right there is an infiltration pond, but we can
certainly have that conversation with them and explore what options we have to move it to the
northwest corner of the property.
Ms. Tonya Brinkly – 654 Vista Avenue Dover, DE 19901
Ms. Brinkly stated that she is smack dab in the middle of this restaurant development. She has
been here for approximately 1.5 years and she is not very happy. She looked at the plans and she
agrees with the gentleman about the trashcan. She doesn’t want to see it, smell it or see the
rodents or anything else that is going to be associated with that. She is upset about where the
loading dock will be and the diesel fuel that she is knows will come through her bedroom
window. She is not happy about that as well as the construction and noise. It is very close to our
residence. It is not a buffer of having a six-foot wall. Most people average, at least men, six foot
tall so anybody can look over at any point in time. Six foot is not enough; she would recommend
twelve feet if at all possible. Maybe she missed the hours of operation for this restaurant. If it’s
open from 12pm to 12am and she doesn’t need to hear noise while people are getting in their cars
or having loud mufflers because that is going to wake her up as well. Having this be so close to a
residence, she is not in favor of this. She understands growth and development like nobody’s
business. She currently works for the City of Baltimore, Maryland. She comes here to rest and
get peace and quiet, beautiful landscaping, great animals and she sees all kinds of weird stuff but
13
16

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 21, 2022
Item 1.
she would rather have that than the noise and pollution from a restaurant in her back yard.
Mr. Mike Babiah - 102 Overlook Place Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Babiah stated that we talked about the opaque barrier for the extension of where his property
line abuts but where the alley is associated. He saw a fence indicated on the plans but is that an
opaque barrier or something else along that area. Responding to Mr. Babiah, Mr. Swierczek
stated that their recommendation was that the opaque barrier be implemented on the entirety of
that. It would be adjacent to the alley and terminus of Overlook Place.
Mr. Babiah stated that helps them out to because there is a concern about not having an
abundance of parking in Overlook Place. So, it would help from people parking there and
walking up.
Ms. Kathy Theodorakas – 650 Vista Avenue Dover, DE 19901
Ms. Theodorakas stated that she is concerned about our back yards which we are about twelve
townhouse units on Vista Avenue. The back yards which are very small where we can park a car.
It buts up to the back of this gentleman’s property. It was said that there is going to be a six-foot
fence. She agrees with lady who just spoke that six feet is probably not enough. How do we keep
the customers from coming over in our back yards? Is it going to be enclosed entirely so that
people aren’t going to be roaming around our back doors if they have too much to drink or
something? Responding to Ms. Theodorakas, Mr. Swierczek stated that he is not too sure about
the site conditions of the properties immediately to the north. But again, the opaque barrier
would have to be a completely solid fence with the addition of landscaping in front of it and that
would run along that alley which runs behind all twelve units.
Ms. Theodorakas stated that it is a very tiny alley. Responding to Ms. Theodorakas, Mr.
Swierczek stated that their recommendation was considering the fact that they were not wanting
people to transit between the restaurant property and then the residences on Overlook Place. So
that opaque barrier would be applied along the back of all twelve of those townhomes in that
alley, along the terminus of Overlook Place and then the residence at the waterfront.
Ms. Theodorakas asked how close he thought that the trash would be to that back alley.
Responding to Ms. Theodorakas, Mr. Swierczek asked the applicant if the exact footage was
noted on the plan.
Mr. Sechler stated that he would guess that the dumpster is about fifty feet away from that alley.
Mr. Eric Norton – 627 Venue Drive Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Norton stated that he lives on Venue Drive and this is on the other side of our community
right behind the Red Roof Inn. At the back of his house is an alleyway and the Red Roof Inn has
a six foot retaining wall. Seemingly all of the people that go to the Red Roof Inn and the 7-
Eleven seem to take great sport in seeing how far back they can stand and throw their trash over
the fence. So, we have a whole bunch of trash that comes over that six foot retaining wall. Six
feet is clearly not enough. That wall that goes around this new building must have a wall much
taller than six feet. Ten feet would be best and he suggests twelve feet just from his experience
living right there in the neighborhood.

Item 1.
Mr. James Devine – 641 Vista Ave Dover, DE 19901
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Mr. Devine was previously on the line (virtually) but he let her
know in the chat that his questions had been answered because they have been put forth by
others.
Mrs. Maucher noted that some comments from the Silver Lake Commission members were
received by email this afternoon and there were copies placed on the Commissioner’s desks.
Mrs. Melson-Williams noted that because this property is adjacent to Silver Lake, the City’s
Zoning Ordinance requires that the application be presented to the Silver Lake Commission.
That happened about a week and a half ago and the applicant presented their proposal to the
Silver Lake Commission. There was a lively discussion that evening and then the members put
their comments and documentation of some of the questions that they asked that evening into
email format. We provided that to the Planning Commission members by email last this
afternoon and then also on their desks this evening. They are charged with looking at
applications and their impact on the Lake. As you can see in their comments, there is obviously
concern for tree planting. There is removal of existing trees, the planting of new trees, the
implementation of the riparian buffer and bank stabilization along the edge of the lake area there.
There were also some functional questions about noise and lighting that were also identified in
these comments that you have heard about this evening.
Mrs. Maucher asked if the Silver Lake Commission had to make a recommendation or is it just
individual comments from the Commissioners. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Melson-
Williams stated that the Silver Lake Commission is referenced in your report in that the
application needs to be presented to the Silver Lake Commission and any comments from the
Commission should be forwarded to the Planning Commission. She can tell you that it was the
first time that that Body had met in an extended period of time and there were a number of new
participants appointed to that Commission. Their discussion that evening was very favorable.
There are obviously concerns because it will be a change for that property which most have
enjoyed as an open area with lots of trees and vegetation for a number of years with it being
vacant. But they expressed their concerns. She didn’t get a feeling that they were overly
concerned that the application shouldn’t move forward, recognizing that there is a development
opportunity there. She thinks that they were pleased to see the proposal which is included in your
packet for that riparian buffer and significant plantings along the lake which will actually change
and very much improve that section of the lake area.
Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing.
Mrs. Malone asked if they were going to close down the existing site on Route 13 North and then
only have this restaurant or are they going to have both restaurants. Responding to Mrs. Malone,
Mr. Sechler stated that they are going to close down the other location and this will be their new
location.
Mr. Cooper stated that he knows from a residential perspective, we are limited to six foot fences.
Are there restrictions that would stop the opaque fence from going taller as questioned?
15
18
Page 19
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 21, 2022
Item 1.
Responding to Mr. Cooper, Mr. Swierczek stated that he believes in the Zoning Ordinance, there
is something in the opaque barrier requirements that supersedes this but fences in commercial
uses are allowed up to eight feet in height. That is not to say that in this scenario specifically that
there couldn’t be some added provisions for the addition of a berm in addition to the fencing or
taller vegetation landscaping. But in general for the fence itself, the limitation would be eight
feet.
Mr. Hartman stated that also from a residential perspective from somebody who is near a Dunkin
Donuts and an Arbys, he believes that a twelve- foot fence is too much. He believes that it would
be unsightly and he kind of believes that it would be very difficult to maintain. His main
concerns with this project were the setbacks and that seems to have been addressed. His other
concerns were lighting and noise which Ms. Brinkley had mentioned. He thinks that noise is a
problem throughout the City. He knows that he has a problem with it where he lives. He would
like to see Dover PD or the City be a little bit more aggressive in their enforcement of our noise
regulations which you bring out in your report in the answer to the applicant.
Mrs. Denney stated that she lives on State Street and down the street from what was Wesley
College which is now Delaware State University, and for many years obviously in close
proximity to the racetrack. People what say what about the noise; if you are sitting out at certain
times during race weekend or football days or whatever athletics things are happening or it’s
getting close to graduation. Her feelings generally are if it is totally out of control then certainly
you can make a phone call. The Police Department has always been good about trying to check
in on things. Wesley College was very proactive. If you just left a voicemail with the college and
said you were getting a lot of trash, they would send people out to pick up the trash or replace
something that was stolen from her property. They also reminded the students as best that they
can but kids are kids. Sometimes we have a parade and if she’s out she can’t back to her house.
That is the beauty of living on a main street; you can sit on your front steps and watch a parade
go by. To her, while these are certainly issues that need to be given consideration, those things
are temporary things that happen and tomorrow they are gone. Her concern with seeing this is
she doesn’t think that they should have made adjustments to setbacks because as we all know,
what used to be Silver Lake is not very silver anymore and it isn’t going to get any better. The
trash and debris that happens when people come out after being there and the noise, overall she
thinks that is steady nightly on any evening that they are open. While we want to accommodate
development, she does believe that reducing setbacks and accommodating all of these little
things that add up, she thinks that we really have to seriously consider. The other thing is, is to
change to the character of the neighborhood? There are restaurants there but may not be so much
in that regard, but it certainly is a change to the character of the neighborhood to the animals and
trees and everything else that exists there and that always gives her concern.
Mrs. Malone moved to approve S-22-03 Restaurant at 801 North State Street with the waiver
requests for partial elimination of curbing, for consideration of bank stabilization for reduction
of setback requirements from Silver Lake, seconded by Dr. Jones.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she wanted to confirm that your recommendation for approval
is also inclusive of the Development Advisory Committee Report and comments. Responding to
Mrs. Melson-Williams, Mrs. Malone stated yes, most definitely.

Item 1.
Dr. Jones stated that she agrees as well.
Mr. Cooper stated that he is inclined to support this application but he has listened to the
comments that have been asked. One of the things that he has kind of been struggling with is the
location of the Dumpsters with the neighborhood right next door. They are only required to have
sixty-one spaces but they have seventy-five proposed. By his incredibly rough scale
measurements with a paper clip that he bent out and used his finger to guide it, it would only take
up roughly three spaces in one of those top two corners. As he said, he is inclined to support the
application, but he is wondering if relocating the trash can would at least be an effort of good
faith and would only cost three parking spaces. Responding to Mr. Cooper, Mr. Glick stated that
they can go ahead and relocate the trash can.
The motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Roach absent. Mrs. Malone voting yes; she
feels that the applicant has done a really good job with the presentation and she does feel that
they will work very closely with the neighbors to try to take care of all of their concerns that they
have. She feels that this will really be an asset to have this restaurant be built this way. She
knows that they have been working out of the site on Route 13 North which is very tiny. They
have great food. There is also McGlynn’s across the street and Countrie Eatery across the
street; so, it does fit into the area. She feels very comfortable that the applicant will work very
closely with the residents to make sure that their concerns are well taken care of. Mr. Cooper
voting yes; for the reasons stated in the motion. Mrs. Denney voting yes; she is not happy with
the setbacks but she does think that it is a good use for this property and as stated by the maker
of the motion, there is also two other restaurants around there. They do have wonderful food and
it is a nice change. With the exception of her concerns about changing the character so
drastically, she does think that it is a worth while project. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on
previous statements. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; based on the previous statements. Dr. Jones voting
yes; acknowledging that there are still some concerns about the noise and the height of the fence
so if we could do some exploration to see if we can move past that six feet. Mrs. Welsh voting
yes; she believes that it is a good use of the property. It has been vacant for a long time and it is
a great location for the restaurant as the one on the highway is quite tiny and this would give
them a lot more space to utilize. It is in conjunction with the other two restaurants. She thinks it
will be a nice gathering area. She thinks that it is good for the people who also live in the area
because there is going to be several choices of restaurants that they can get to easily without
traveling very far. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; based on the DAC Report and the indication from
the applicant of their willingness to work with the neighbors in addressing their concerns.
Mr. Hartman asked the members of the public who spoke tonight to come back here once the
facility is constructed to educate the Commission on their experience with the construction and
the facility. He thinks that would be a great learning experience for this Commission.
S-22-04 Raymond Street and Railroad Avenue Street Improvements – Public Hearing and
Review of a Site Development Plan Application for the proposed construction of street
improvements in the Rights-of-Way of Raymond Street and Railroad Avenue. Improvements
consist of paved roadways, curbing, sidewalks, and utility infrastructure (water, sewer, and
stormwater drainage). Raymond Street is proposed to be extended west as a 24 ft. paved width
17

roadway to intersect with Railroad Avenue. Railroad Avenue is proposed to be constructed as a
24 ft. paved width roadway extending to the north ending in a cul-de-sac. Portions of the
surrounding property totaling 0.61 acres and owned by Patel College Properties LLC and Patel
Excess College Road LLC are being dedicated to the City of Dover for the expansion of Right-
of-Way. The area is located north of College Road and east of the Lands of the Delaware
Railroad. Public Right-of-Way to be dedicated to City of Dover. Property Address: Rights-of-
way in the vicinity of Tax Parcels: ED-05-067.00-02-53.00-000 and ED-05-067.00-02-56.00-
000. Council District 4. This area was annexed into the City of Dover as of the City Council
Meeting of December 13, 2021. Waiver Requests: Reduction of Street Right-of-Way Width,
Exceed Maximum Length of Cul-de-sac, and Partial Elimination of Sidewalks.
Representatives: Mr. Greg Rishel, Pennoni & Associates; Mr. Dominic Balascio, applicant
representative; Mr. Douglas Barry, Pennoni & Associates
Ms. Bulkilvish stated that this Application might look familiar to some of the Commission
members. These rights-of-way that we are going to discuss tonight have just come through as an
application to the Annexation Area of the City. So, now they are officially in the City boundaries
and we can move forward with their development. This project is kind of a Phase 1 of a two-
phase project. The applicant, who owns the properties, has brought this forward to the north and
the east of what is proposed as an extension of Raymond Street and Railroad Avenue. In order to
access their property, they needed to develop the road and to make sure that they got everything
in place in order to access for further development. The applicant is requesting a series of
waivers this evening from the Subdivision Regulations. The road construction guidelines are in
our Subdivision Regulations and the first waiver is the reduction of the street right-of-way width.
When this area or right-of-way was plotted, it was plotted back in 1899 as a 35 foot right-of-way.
The applicant is purposing to expand the right-of-way to today’s standards to put the right-of-
way where they have property fronting the right-of-way. In those areas where they don’t have
property to dedicate to the City, they are asking for this waiver to maintain the 35 foot right-of-
way in existence. The second waiver that they are requesting is an increase in maximum length
of a dead-end street. The maximum length of the cul-de-sac which is going to be Railroad
Avenue. The Code has a maximum of 400 feet. She believes that this one is upwards of 700 feet;
so, they are asking for a waiver for that cul-de-sac. The reason for it ending in a cul-de-sac is that
the property to the north is actually owned by the State of Delaware and there are no plans for
development. The Railroad Avenue is also bordered by the lands of the Delaware Central
Railroad. That railroad runs directly adjacent so there is no expansion of the roadway in that
direction either. They are just making it long enough so that they can have two access points onto
the property which is required for what will be a residential development. The third waiver that
they are asking for is the elimination of sidewalk on the frontage of a public street and that would
be for Railroad Avenue. Like she said, it is bordered by the railroad tracks so there is no
proposed development on that side of the street. So, they are proposing the sidewalk on the east
side of Railroad Avenue where they are proposing a development and that will continue down
Railroad Avenue onto Raymond Street. They would provide sidewalk on Raymond Street on
both sides; one side in the right-of-way and then a portion of the other side that they are able to
dedicate right-of-way to.
Mr. Rishel stated that Ms. Bulkilvish did a fantastic job explaining the project as Stage 1 or Step
18
21

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 21, 2022
Item 1.
1 or Phase 1; whatever you want to call it. We are seeking the waivers for the design of the street
and the layout of the street as she mentioned with some of the site constraints that they are faced
with. They don’t have a whole lot more that they can add to that great presentation that she did.
Mr. Hartman stated that there was a comment from Fire Marshal questioning the turnaround at
the cul-de-sac. Has that been addressed? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Rishel stated yes, it
has. We did have a DAC Meeting a few weeks ago and we did receive all of these comments and
we have no objections or issues with any of the comments. For that one in particular, they
actually exceed the State requirement for the cul-de-sac turnaround diameter.
Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the
public hearing.
Mrs. Welsh moved to approve S-22-04 Raymond Street and Railroad Avenue Street
Improvements inclusive of three waivers; reduction of street right-of-way width, exceeding the
maximum length of the cul-de-sac and the partial elimination of the sidewalks and also inclusive
of the DAC comments, seconded by Mrs. Malone and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote
with Mr. Roach absent. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; it’s a definitely needed improvement to that area.
Mrs. Malone voting yes; for the same reasons. Mr. Cooper voting yes; for previously stated
reasons. Mrs. Denney voting yes; she thinks all of these are the usual, normal and necessary
changes that have to take place or waivers that have to take place in order for projects like this
to happen. This was platted long before she was born and it is much needed and will be quite an
enhancement to that area. Mr. Hartman voting yes; particularly because the waivers are much
needed and many of them are inappropriate and unnecessary for this site. Mr. Baldwin voting
yes; this project should certainly improve the use of the properties in the neighborhood. Dr.
Jones voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for reasons previously
stated.
NEW BUSINESS
Update on the Dover Air Force Base Compatible Use Study
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the Dover Air Force Base Compatible Use Study is a project
that is just getting underway. There is a Technical Committee that she, from the Planning Office,
is participating in as well as a Policy Committee, which she believes the Mayor is a participant.
This is a Study focused on if you use the Dover Air Force Base as the center, a 5-mile area
surrounding the Base to look at land activity uses both in the City and within the County and the
other areas that surround the Base to ensure that they can plan for activities that ensure the
longevity of the Base from a military installation standpoint and an economic driver as well.
There is a project website that we included on the meeting agenda where you can see the variety
of documents that are posted about the Study. This is going to be about an 18-month study.
There will be some opportunities for public engagement with this project. As we find out about
those, we will certainly pass that along to the Planning Commission. Long term, it may result in
a series of implementation items that are recommended to make this area both work from a land
use perspective and also from the military installation standpoint. At this point, they are in the
data gathering phase and the City will be sharing a number of our GIS layers from our

Update on Downtown Dover Strategic Master Plan
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the Downtown Dover Strategic Master Plan is an effort of the
Downtown Dover Partnership. They have retained likewise consultant services that are working
on a Master Plan focused on Downtown. They are also in the data gathering phase and there will
be opportunities for stakeholder meetings and also some public interaction. Again, we have
provided a website link to the project where you can see their strategy for the plan. In the case of
this project, they are hoping to have a Final Master Plan put together by Fall of this year so it is a
much quicker turnaround timeframe for the project. Again, focusing on Downtown and what the
opportunities are from a development perspective with potential implementation items to come.
Meeting adjourned at 9:18 PM.

SUBJECT: February Review of S-22-01 Caliber Car Wash and Updates for Consideration of
Application
Background
On February 22, 2022, the Planning Commission reviewed and held a public hearing on Site
Development Plan S-22-01 Caliber Car Wash. The Site Development Plan is for the construction
of a 3,500 SF Car Wash facility, 19 vacuum stations, and associated sit improvements. The
project located at 280 Cowgill Street is located on the south side of Cowgill Street and Court
Street near the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and South DuPont Highway and is
zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). The Site Plan was tabled after the public hearing was
closed due to the Planning Commissioners concerns regarding the traffic in the area of the
proposed Car Wash. The motion made by Planning Commission is that the application be tabled
until traffic recommendations are brought forth from DelDOT (see excerpt of Meeting Minutes
of February 22, 2022).
Plan Status as of April 8, 2022
The applicant has been working diligently with Planning Staff, Public Works, and DelDOT to
iron out all concerns regarding traffic in hopes of coming back in front of Planning Commission
for Conditional Approval. Since the Planning Commission Meeting, the applicant has attended a
Project Coordination Meeting with DelDOT on March 28, 2022. At this meeting DelDOT
informed the applicant that the intersection of MLK Blvd at United Way/Cowgill Street was
identified in DelDOT’s 2019 Hazard Elimination Program for improvements. A conceptual plan
for improvements was just completed for this intersection but has not made it yet into the queue
for review let alone funding which could be many years out. DelDOT said that there may be
some interim improvements that could be made and that would be further discussed during their
Pre-submittal Meeting scheduled for Monday, April 11, 2022.
Recommendations
Planning Staff is satisfied that the applicant has been asking all the right questions and working
diligently with DelDOT and the Public Works department to increase the safety of the area
surrounding the proposed Car Wash. A reminder to the Planning Commission that a Site
Development Plan cannot be given Final Plan Approval until approval from all reviewing
24

agencies including DelDOT have given final approval. It is the opinion of Planning Staff that the
review of Application of S-22-01 Caliber Car Wash can continue and be considered for
Conditional Site Plan Approval by the Planning Commission.

APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY
D.A.C. MEETING DATE: February 9, 2022
APPLICATION: Caliber Car Wash at 280 Cowgill Street
FILE #: S-22-01 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning
CONTACT PERSON: Samantha Bulkilvish, AICP PHONE #: (302) 736-7196
I. PLAN SUMMARY
This application is for review of a Site Development Plan Application for construction of a 3,500
SF Car Wash facility, 19 vacuum spaces, and associated site improvements. The property is
zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). The property consists of 0.78 acres (33,976.8 SF) and
is located on the south side of Cowgill Street and Court Street near the corner of Martin Luther
King Jr. Boulevard and S. DuPont Highway. The owner of record is Neaton’s Tire Service of
Delaware, and the developer is MPV Properties. Property Address: 280 Cowgill Street. Tax
Parcel Number: ED-05-077.10-01-17.00-000.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property is currently occupied by an auto repair (tire service) shop with nine (9) bays,
an office, and parking. The entire 0.78 acres located on the west side of S. DuPont Highway at the
corner of Cowgill Street and Court Street is completely covered with impervious surfaces. The
project proposes a new one-story 3,500 SF building to be utilized as the new Car Wash Facility
after the demolition of the existing building. The site is to be accessed via two access points off of
Court Street: one entrance will be a queue to access the pay stations and the Car Wash and the
second entrance will be an in and out entrance to access the vacuum stations and to exit the Car
Wash. A third proposed bail-out lane (exit) is to connect to Cowgill Street. Additional site features
include nineteen (19) parking spaces, each with accompanying vacuum cleaning equipment. There
are also three (3) parking spaces which are noted as being for employee use, and do not have any
associated vehicle service equipment.
Surrounding Land Uses:
To the south of the subject site are properties that are similarly zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial
Zone) and contain an auto parts store and other retail/service establishments. To the rear (or west)
of the site are residential properties zoned RG-1 (General Residence Zone). The property to the east
is open space zoned ROS (Recreational and Open Space) and acts as a landscaped gateway to the
City along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard leading to Legislative Hall. The property to the north
on the north side of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard is a gas station and convenience store and is
also zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial). While the subject property is in the vicinity of the
intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and S. DuPont Highway, there is no direct
connection to either of these roads from the site.

III. ZONING REVIEW
C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone)
The C-4 Zoning District in the City of Dover permits the following: retail stores; business,
professional, and government offices; restaurants; personal service establishments; service
establishments; hotels and motels; places of public assembly; bus terminals; wholesale, storage,
warehousing, and distribution establishments; indoor or outdoor recreation and amusement
establishments; hospitals and medical centers; drive-throughs; motor vehicle, boat, or farm
equipment service stations subject to conditions; manufacturing with less than 25 employees; and
mini-storage facilities. Permitted conditionally subject to Conditional Use approval by the
Planning Commission: apartments and multi-family dwellings; crematories subject to conditions.
See City of Dover Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 16 for more details on the C-4 zoning
district. The use of a Car Wash Facility is considered a Service Establishment, which is a
permitted use in the C-4 Zoning District.
IV. PARKING SUMMARY
The parking requirement for a building with the C-4 zone is one parking space per 300 SF of
floor area, or one per every employee, whichever is greater. Based on floor area of 3,500 SF the
facility would require twelve (12) parking spaces. The plan appears to show a total of twenty-two
(22) parking spaces. This includes nineteen (19) parking spaces with vacuum service equipment,
as well as an additional three (3) parking spaces for use by employees. A loading space is not
required for this type of use.
Bicycle Parking
Bicycle parking is required at a ratio of one space for every twenty parking spaces. If the site is
to be served by 22 parking spaces, two bicycle parking spaces are required. Currently, none are
shown on the Plans submitted; however, the applicant has reassured us that they will provide a
bicycle rack to meet this requirement.
V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Access
There are three points of access proposed for this site. Two entrances off of Court Street: one
single lane entrance drive to get into the queue for the Car Wash, and a two-way access to get
into the area where the vacuum stations will be set up or to exit from the Car Wash. The third
access point is an egress only and is the bail-out lane for the Car Wash out to Cowgill Street near
its cul-de-sac terminus. The design and location of these proposed access points must be
reviewed by the City Department of Public Works and DelDOT. It is unclear if all three access
points are necessary or if the entrances could be combined. The overall traffic circulation pattern
on the site and its interaction with adjacent streets must be evaluated.
Waiver Request: Sidewalks/Pedestrian Circulation
Sidewalks are required along all street frontages (Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §18). The plan does
not currently show any sidewalks along the street frontage. There is a 10 ft. wide multi-use path on
the opposite side of Court Street along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard that wraps around to S.
Dupont Highway. The applicant has included a Waiver for the elimination of sidewalk along the
subject property’s street frontage’s of Court Street and Cowgill Street. Provided as an attachment to
28
Page 29
Item 2.
S-22-01 Caliber Car Wash at 280 Cowgill Street
DAC Report of February 9, 2022
Page 3
this Waiver is an exhibit showing the proposed pedestrian linkage to the site from the multi-use path
along Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.
Lighting
Article 5 §7.1 stipulates that lighting shall provide no less than 1.5 foot-candles at grade. Light
shall be deflected away from adjacent residential areas and shall not be distracting to traffic on
adjacent roads. A lighting plan has not yet been proposed for this property.
Dumpsters
There is not a specific Dumpster requirement for this type of use. A Dumpster enclosure is proposed
near the northwest corner of the site, just off the two-way entrance off Court Street. The applicant
has confirmed that the dumpster enclosure will be constructed of the same materials as the principal
structure (white brick) and have an opaque gate. The applicants must ensure that the dumpsters are
enough to meet the trash collection and recycling needs of the site and they must specify if this will
be private trash collection. Planning Staff is concerned of the prominence of this feature as it is
located right off the main drive aisle near the site entrance. Another concern is its proximity to
overhead electric and/or utility lines. Revaluation of the dumpster’s location may be warranted.
Curbing
The upright curbing for the parking lots and drive aisles are subject to the requirements of Article
6 Section 3.6(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. The Applicant shows curbing along all paved areas
throughout the site except for a curb depression in one area to allow water access to a storm
drain. Details were not provided about the curbing in order to determine if the curb height is in
compliance.
VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
The Plan submission includes Elevation Drawings. Said drawings are black and white so exact
colors are uncertain; however, some materials are noted and color descriptions given. The
majority of the façade is a brick veneer painted white. The top portion of the building on all sides
will have a blue EIFS (exterior insulation finishing system). The portion of the buildings above
the windows will have gray horizontal metal wall panels up to the blue band. There will be a
metal double door at the end of the building near the exit of the Car Wash that leads to the
equipment room and a single metal door that leads to the Car Wash tunnel. The building has its
main vehicle access point on the south side of the building with the vehicle exit on the north side
of the building. The portion of the building facing Cowgill Street (east elevation) will have a
series of large storefront windows. The opposite side of the building facing the vacuum stations
will be mostly a white brick façade with one large storefront window. The entrance to the office
portion of the building is shown on the architectural plans to be on the same side as the vehicle
entrance (south end); however, the site plan shows this entrance on the west side of the building.
Clarification on where this entrance will be is needed.
VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN
The submitted plan set includes a concept for the Landscaping Plan. Based on this development
area of 0.78 acres (33,976.8 SF), twelve (12) trees are required to meet the tree density
requirements. The Applicant has submitted a Landscape Plan with their overall submission
(Sheet LP-1) which identifies 11 of the required 12 trees and a variety of other shrubs and
29
Page 30
Item 2.
S-22-01 Caliber Car Wash at 280 Cowgill Street
DAC Report of February 9, 2022
Page 4
ornamental plants. They have provided three (3) different tree types including two shade trees
and one ornamental tree. These plantings are largely planted around the perimeter of the Site,
along the street frontages. There are three trees planted internally to the site between the queue
lane for the Car Wash and the vacuum stall near the south end of the site.
Opaque Barrier Requirement
Staff does note that due to the adjacency of this commercial project to a Residential Zone
additional landscaping is required as part of an opaque barrier. According to the Zoning
Ordinance, Article 5 Section 7.2 visual and sound screening shall be provided on a non-
residential use when abutting a residential use. The screening shall consist of an opaque barrier at
least six feet in height, accompanied by landscaping. Currently there is a fence being shown, but
it is not opaque as it is shown as a chain-link fence. There is little room shown next to the
property line abutting a residential use where a hedgerow or evergreens could be planted. The
applicant has reassured us that they will provide an opaque barrier in the fashion of a white vinyl
fence and will adjust the width of the drive aisle for the queuing lane to accommodate the
hedgerow.
VIII. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS:
The subject proposal has been reviewed for Code compliance, plan conformity, and
completeness in accordance with this agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following
items have been identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant:
1) Waiver Request: Sidewalks: Standard City of Dover sidewalk is required to be installed along
all public street frontages of a property (Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 18.3). The
plans do not show any sidewalks along the street frontage of either Court Street or Cowgill
Street on this property. There are also no pedestrian connections onto the site. A Waiver for
the elimination of the street frontage sidewalks was submitted by the Applicant. In addition
to the written Waiver, they have provided an exhibit showing the proposed pedestrian
connection onto the site.
2) An opaque barrier is required on any commercial property adjoining a residential use (Zoning
Ordinance, Article 5 Section 7.2). The opaque barrier requirement includes a barrier, like a
fence, masonry wall or earthen berm in addition to a hedgerow or evergreen screen. The
plans do not show any type of opaque barrier nor does the current site design leave much
room for a hedgerow. The applicant has confirmed that they will be adjusting the width of
the drive aisle to allow for the landscape requirement of the screening barrier and will be
using a white vinyl fence for their opaque barrier.
3) All dumpster enclosures must be constructed of durable materials that will withstand the
normal wear expected during trash removal. If the dumpster is within view of a public right
of way the appearance of the dumpster enclosure should complement the architecture of the
principal building on the lot (Zoning Ordinance, Article 5, Section 6). The applicant has
confirmed that the dumpster enclosure would be constructed out of the same white brick that
the principal structure would be constructed of and would have opaque gates.
4) Since there is the presence of a dumpster enclosure on the plans it is under our assumption
30
Page 31
Item 2.
S-22-01 Caliber Car Wash at 280 Cowgill Street
DAC Report of February 9, 2022
Page 5
that the trash collection will be private. Please verify this with a note on the plans.
5) City of Dover requires curb height to be six inches in all permanent parking areas. Please
clarify the height of the curbing shown on the plans. (Zoning Ordinance, Article 6, Section
3).
6) The tree density required is 1 tree per 3,000 SF of development area or fraction thereof
(Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 16.62). The development area of the plan is the
equivalent of the total area of the site which is 33,976.8 SF. 33,976.8/3,000 = 11.3256. This
means that 12 trees are required on the site. The plans currently show 11 trees so one additional
tree will need to be added.
7) Site Plan, Sheet C1.0 and subsequent pages:
a. Please include the zoning of the neighboring properties.
8) Site Plan, Sheet C2.0:
a. Setbacks: Front – 20’ (Court Street & Cowgill Street), Side – 15’ (adjacent to
AutoZone), Rear – 10’/30’ (When adjoins a residential zone).
b. Clarify the fence material and fence height. Maximum fence height is 8 feet;
however, the fence cannot exceed 4 feet in the front yard setback.
c. Layout Notes #2 – check the font as it has been printed as something unintelligible.
9) Site Plan, Sheet LP-1:
a. The label on the Raspberry Profusion Abelia is incorrect to the left of the
dumpster.
b. Include a note that no tree planting shall be closer than 10 feet from any utility
lines.
10) Signs are subject to a separate Sign Permit Review and approval process in the City of
Dover.
11) Any Erosion & Sediment Control Plans and Stormwater Management Plans granted approval
by the Kent Conservation District must reflect the Site Plan layout and design conditionally
approved by the Planning Commission and be in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and
technical review requirements of other agencies.
12) The Final Plan set must include notes documenting any action taken by the Planning
Commission on the requested waivers and must list any additional conditions of approval.
IX. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET
CODE OBJECTIVES:
In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.2, the Planning Commission in
considering and acting upon Site Development Plans may prescribe appropriate conditions and
safeguards so that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the
public in general, and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken
into consideration. These safeguards may to the maximum extent possible further the expressed
31
Page 32
Item 2.
S-22-01 Caliber Car Wash at 280 Cowgill Street
DAC Report of February 9, 2022
Page 6
intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed
in subsections 2.21 to 2.28.
1) Dumpster: There is concern that the Dumpster Enclosure features too prominently on
site, being right at the main entrance to the site. The Applicant should relocate the
Dumpster further from the right-of-way of Court Street, while also ensuring
maneuverability for trash collection if possible.
2) Site Access: Staff have concerns with the location of the queue lane entrance and its
proximity to the second entrance into the site, and the intersection at Court Street and
Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. There seems to be a lot of potential traffic movements
going on in this area and not a lot of room for a driver to decide where they need to go.
Planning Staff encourages the applicant to reassess the plausibility of the elimination of
one of the entrances on Court Street. The access/egress points from the property to the
public street network are subject to review and approval by the agency of jurisdiction the
City of Dover Department of Public Works and DelDOT. A redesign of the entrances
may allow for the relocation of the dumpster to allow for a single entrance that splits off
into the queue lane to eliminate the need for the customer to decide where to go while in
the public right of way and to increase the safety of customers and people traveling along
Court Street and Cowgill Street.
3) Sidewalks: A pedestrian connection is proposed from the multi-use path along Martin
Luther King, Jr. Blvd. Where sidewalks cross vehicle access points a piano key type
crosswalk should be provided.
4) Opaque Barrier: A redesign of the northwest corner of the site (the entrances to the site)
would allow for greater space to implement the required screening along the property

X. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) DelDOT has requested the applicant apply for a Pre-Submittal Meeting and submit trip
generation data to determine if additional measures are required. It has been determined
that both Court and Cowgill Street are maintained by the City of Dover Department of
Public Works and therefore they will review the development plans and location of
entrances/exits from the site.
2) In the event that major changes and revisions to the Site Plan occur in the finalization of
the Plan, contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of the building,
relocation of site components like stormwater management areas, and increases in floor
area count. These changes may require resubmittal for review by the Development
Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making
recommendations regarding the plan.

RE: Caliber Car Wash at 280 Cowgill Street, Dover Sidewalk Frontage Waiver Request
Samantha,
Our project team working on the development entitled “Caliber Car Wash” at 280 Cowgill Street, Dover is
formally requesting a sidewalk frontage waiver per Article 5 Sec. 18.
Please see attached exhibit that shows the preferred pedestrian connection to the existing sidewalk along
Martin Luther King Jr Blvd and circulation to pedestrian path along S Dupont Hwy. The specific reasons
for this request are the following listed below:
1. There is existing sidewalk along Martin Luther King Jr Blvd & S Dupont Hwy
2. There is no existing sidewalk to connect to along Court Street
3. Sidewalk along property frontage would limit landscaping opportunities
We sincerely appreciate your time and look forward to working with you on this exciting project.
Respectfully,
Chris Lazenby, PE

THIS DRAWING PREPARED AT THE
STORMWATER NARRATIVE
1. THE PROJECT SITE "CALIBER CAR WASH" IS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF DOVER, KENT COUNTY, ON THE FORMER GOODYEAR
TIRE AND SERVICE PROPERTY AND DEVELOPMENT. SITE IS ACCESSED BY COURT STREET AND ALSO ACCESSED BY COWGILL
ST. PREVIOUS PROPERTY USE WAS AN AUTO SHOP. PROPOSED USE IS A CAR WASH AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE.
2. EXISTING SOILS ONSITE ARE PRIMARILY HYDROLOGIC SOIL TYPE D, AND THE SITE IS FLAT (2% OR LESS).
3. THE EXISTING HYDROLOGY OF THE SITE IS EITHER MANAGED BY ONSITE STORM INLETS OR SHEET FLOWS OFF THE
PROPERTY TO EXISTING ROADS, ULTIMATELY VIA UNDERGROUND STORM PIPE SYSTEMS. APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THE
SITE'S RUNOFF IS CAPTURED BY TWO STORM INLETS ONSITE, AND THE REMAINDER OF THE SITE'S RUNOFF SHEET FLOWS
DC METRO OFFICE
OFFSITE TO COWGILL STREET, COURT STREET, AND 'A' STREET WHICH ABUTS RESIDENCES. SEE SHEET C6.0 FOR EXISTING
REVISION DESCRIPTION
STORM INLET DRAINAGE.
4. IN POST DEVELOPMENT, THE HYDROLOGY OF THE SITE WILL BE MAINTAINED IN THE SAME MANNER. HOWEVER, NO RUNOFF
WILL SHEET FLOW OFFSITE TO 'A' STREET AND THUS ADJACENT RESIDENCES. ADDITIONALLY, LESS IMPERVIOUS AREA IS
PROPOSED WITH LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS INTRODUCED. FINALLY, THE BUILDING WILL DISCHARGE RUNOFF TO THE EAST VIA
DOWNSPOUTS INTO THE LANDSCAPED BUFFER AREA, AND USE THE IMPERVIOUS DISCONNECTION METHOD TO ALLOW
YOUR VISION ACHIEVED THROUGH OURS.1054 31st St Ste 115 NW WASHINGTON DC 20007
RUNOFF TO INFILTRATE INTO THE GROUND AND FURTHER REDUCE FLOODING DOWNSTREAM. SEE SHEET C6.1 FOR
PROPOSED STORM INLET DRAINAGE.
5. THE EXISTING PARCEL AREA (PLUS LIMITED DISTURBANCE DIRECTLY OUTSIDE PARCEL) HAS A CURVE NUMBER (CN = 97)
HIGHER THAN THE PROPOSED PARCEL AREA (PLUS LIMITED DISTURBANCE DIRECTLY OUTSIDE PARCEL) CURVE NUMBER IN
POST CONSTRUCTION (CN = 93). THIS DESIGN MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS FOR STORMWATER PLANS OF A NONRESIDENTIAL
CONSTRUCTION LESS THAN 1 ACRE DISTURBED.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION
February 22, 2022
Excerpt from Meeting Minutes
The Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Tuesday, February 22,
2022 at 7:00 PM as a virtual Meeting using the phone/videoconferencing system WebEx. The
Meeting Session was conducted with Chair Mrs. Maucher presiding. Members Present were
Mrs. Denney (New appointed Planning Commission member), Mr. Hartman, Mr. Baldwin, Mrs.
Welsh, Mrs. Malone and Mrs. Maucher. Mr. Cooper, Mr. Roach and Dr. Jones were absent.
Staff members present were Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Julian Swierczek, Ms. Samantha
Bulkilvish, Mr. Jason Lyon and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney.
S-22-01 Caliber Car Wash at 280 Cowgill Street – Public Hearing and Review of a Site
Development Plan Application for the construction of a 3,500 SF Self-Service Car Wash facility
and associated site improvements including two (2) pay stations and nineteen (19) vacuum
spaces. This redevelopment includes demolition of the existing auto repair shop building. The
property is zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). The property consists of 0.78 acres
(33,976.8 SF) and is located on the south side of Cowgill Street and Court Street near the corner
of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and S. DuPont Highway. The owner of record is Neaton’s
Tire Service of Delaware. The Equitable Owner (Developer) is MPV Properties c/o John Bradley
Murr. Property Address: 280 Cowgill Street. Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-077.10-01-17.00.
Council District 4. Waiver Request – Elimination of Sidewalk on Street Frontages for
Alternative.
Representatives: Mr. Eric Dowell, MPV Properties; Mr. Chris Lazenby, Timmons Group; Mr.
Brett Jarett, MPV Properties; Ms. LeeAnn Gudorp, Timmons Group
Ms. Bulkilvish stated that this application is for a Car Wash located at 280 Cowgill Street.
Currently, there is a tire service station there. The new proposed Car Wash is about 3,500 SF and
will contain nineteen (19) vacuum stations and two (2) pay stations. The property is zoned C-4
(Highway Commercial Zone) and it is about 0.78 acres or 33,976.8 SF. According to the parking
requirements, there are twelve (12) spaces required and they are showing twenty-two (22)
spaces. That is nineteen (19) vacuum spaces and three (3) employee spaces. They are asking for
a waiver for the elimination of frontage sidewalk in lieu of what they show. In their exhibit. they
are showing a connection which is not shown on this plan but it is a connection from the multi-
use path that goes along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard connecting onto the site. That would
then go across an exit aisle from the Car Wash and connect to the sidewalk that they are showing
in front of the Car Wash building. They are providing a dumpster. They have assured us that the
dumpster enclosure will match the architecture of the building and be a white brick face with an
opaque gate. They also explained during our Applicant DAC Meeting that they would be
providing the opaque barrier requirements as they are adjacent to a residential property. That
includes an opaque fence or a masonry wall or some kind of opaque barrier as well as
landscaping including some kind of hedgerow that will reach a height of six (6) feet. The plans
do not show any bicycle parking; however, the applicant has agreed that they will provide the
two (2) bicycle parking spaces that are required by providing a bike rack near the entrance of the
61
Page 62
Item 2.
building. Access to the Car Wash is shown as two entrance points and two exit points. The
entrance furthest to the south on this drawing is for the cue to the Car Wash. Patrons would come
through the Car Wash lane, pay at one of the two pay stations and then enter through the car
wash building. If they were to leave their wallet or something at home and need to bail out, they
have also provided a bail out lane onto Cowgill Street. Once exiting the Car Wash, the thought is
that all of the patrons would then come into the vacuum stations. The two-way entrance is
basically just for their employees to get into and out of the employee parking. It is intended that
all patrons would enter through Car Wash cue and not come in just to use the vacuums. They are
also providing landscaping on the entire site. Again, it is not shown here but they will be
adjusting the drive aisle in order to accommodate that hedgerow along the residential property
line. They are also providing landscaping along the street frontages and some larger shade trees
along that entrance into the Car Wash.
Ms. Gudorp stated that they are happy to answer any questions that the Commissioners may
have.
Mr. Hartman questioned what their expected traffic would be on week days and weekends.
Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Dowell stated that the only thing that they have in terms of
projected volumes and this question comes up sometimes in relation to water usage, is 300 cars
per day. You have to keep in mind that on rainy days, they may not have anybody come through
the Car Wash but on average you are probably looking at somewhere to 150 to 200 cars. That
would be a reasonable guestimate.
Mrs. Maucher asked if that was per day. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Dowell stated yes.
With that region that we are in as far as weather, after a snow event or something obviously a
Car Wash is going to have more volume than an “average day”. So there are days that you would
see above average and you could see as much as 300 cars in a day versus if the weather has been
stable and it is just average customers, you are probably back down to that 150-200 cars per day.
Mr. Hartman asked if he had looked at the traffic there from the Wawa that is right across the
street. He imagines that the cross traffic from that Wawa coming down Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard is going to compete with the traffic going into your site. How much have you looked
at that as a problem? Will there be a Traffic Study? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Dowell
stated that Ms. Bulkilvish may be able to speak to this better than him. As a part of their DAC
Meeting, it was referenced that they may need to look at a TIA Study but they have not to date
actually done a study.
Ms. Bulkilvish stated that as part of the DAC Meeting, our DelDOT representative has requested
that the applicants submit for a Pre-Submittal Meeting in which they will be submitting their
traffic counts and then from that, they will determine whether or not a Traffic Study will need to
take place.
Mr. Hartman questioned when they would have enough information from that to make a better
decision. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Ms. Gudorp stated that they have not but that was going
to be their next step after this meeting.
Ms. Bulkilvish stated that she is not sure what the timeframe is with the DelDOT Pre-Submittal
62
Page 63
Item 2.
Meeting and what the timeframe is, but before we can give them any kind of Final Plan
Approval, we would have to have that signed off by DelDOT.
Mr. Hartman asked if DelDOT will actually come up with a decision that says this is not a good
idea to put this Car Wash here. In the event that the Commission approves this and DelDOT has
recommendations that this is going to create a problem, what happens then? Responding to Mr.
Hartman, Ms. Bulkilvish stated that most likely DelDOT will provide them with other traffic
implementation changes that need to happen within the area. So, whether that be a change in a
traffic pattern on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard or putting in an extra stop sign there or
something like that or maybe an additional turn lane. That would be something that DelDOT
would require depending on what the traffic looks like in that area.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she also wants to allow Mr. Jason Lyon with the Public Works
Office and Department of Water and Wastewater to speak to some of these street questions as
well. This is somewhat of a unique area when it comes to right-of-way for roads.
Mr. Lyon asked if she wanted him to speak about the ownership of the streets. Responding to
Mr. Lyon, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated yes, because this is kind of going to be a joint effort
when it comes to dealing with traffic planning for the area.
Mr. Lyon stated that the road Cowgill Street is kind of carved out in right-of-way and it is
recognized as a City owned street and maintained through the City. In other words, it is part of
our inventory of streets that we maintain in the City of Dover and that contributes to the
Municipal Street Aid calculation that the State provides to the City. Court Street; however, is a
different animal. This is within the State right-of-way. The City has maintained this road in the
State right-of-way for many years as far as anyone can remember. The tricky thing is who owns
the rights to the road and who is going to dictate the design requirements and maintenance
responsibilities. At this point, the City is in concert with DelDOT to create a Memorandum of
Understanding and they are negotiating that out right now. At this point in time, the City will
provide guidance on the design parameters with the understanding that DelDOT can kind of
oversee things and require this Traffic Study that we have been talking about at some level. He
believes that once the developer meets with DelDOT and goes through the process of looking
into this and how it’s going to impact the traffic, as Ms. Bulkilvish said, they will probably be
some potential maintenance of traffic upgrades, but he doesn’t believe that the project cannot go
forward.
Mr. Hartman stated that it just looks like it would be very challenging with the space that they
have there on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and the cross traffic from Wawa, it would be
very challenging to come up with a traffic flow pattern that would accommodate the heavy
traffic in that area. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Lyon stated that his guess is that what is
going to happen is coming onto Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard as a right only and you won’t
be able to go across the street into Wawa. But that is just his guess at this point; he can’t speak
for DelDOT.
Mr. Hartman stated that you will have people coming from the highway. Most of the customers
will be coming from the highway and you will have cross traffic coming out of Wawa to get to
63
Page 64
Item 2.
the other side to get back to the highway. You are going to have people lined up on the left side
of Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard waiting to make that left turn into their site. Responding to
Mr. Hartman, Mr. Lyon stated that he understands and it is certainly an issue.
Mr. Hartman stated that with that concern and there is a neighborhood right there and there is
existing business that could be impacted, he is not sure it’s fair to ask the Commission to make a
decision without more information on the traffic for this site. Everything else looks great and he
agrees with the sidewalk waiver. He thinks that it could be a great Car Wash but the traffic is the
concern here and we simply don’t have enough information to make a decision to protect the
surrounding neighbors.
Mrs. Malone stated that she does agree with Mr. Hartman about the traffic issue. It reminds her a
lot of what happened on Route 8 (for the Dunkin Donuts) and there were cars lined up all the
way down Route 8 in the right-hand lane trying to get in there at the busiest time of the day when
people were going to work. Thank goodness that they have moved now but when she first saw
this application, that was the first thing that came to mind. The second thing, is this Car Wash all
self-service? Will there be any employees? Responding to Mrs. Malone, Mr. Dowell stated that
the tunnel itself is automated so it will be a conveyor that will direct your car through the tunnel.
Then once you exit into the vacuum area, those vacuums are self-service and there will be three
(3) employees on-site managing the flow of traffic and customers who need help, but they are
not there to specifically do anything with cleaning. The cleaning is fully automated and then the
vacuuming is self-service.
Mrs. Welsh stated that she heard Ms. Bulkilvish say that the two-way entrance is for employees
to come in and out. Are there any provisions to have signage of some sort to direct cars that are
coming into the lane for the Car Wash not to use that? She can see someone coming in there and
thinking that they are going to use the vacuums first and then go get in the Car Wash lane. It
could be an issue with U-turns in that area. Responding to Mrs. Welsh, Ms. Gudorp stated that
there will be a signage package, it is just not shown on this plan, to make it very clear where the
entrance for the Car Wash lanes are.
Mrs. Denney stated that she certainly agrees with Mr. Hartman and she thinks that there needs to
be a little bit more information. Of course these are things that are more left up to DelDOT but
she does think that there needs to be some more input with some regard to the ingress/egress
situation. She also agrees that there is a Wawa there and it’s kind of complicated. She uses the
Wawa from time to time for gas and she has seen more than one near collision and now we are
going to have the same thing across the street. She is a little hesitant to agree with any of this
until we have a little more information from DelDOT. The other thing that she is troubled by and
everyone else seems to think it is okay she guesses is sidewalks. She is a believer in sidewalks.
She happens to live on State Street and Dover seems to be a community where a lot of people
walk and we have the parks. She really thinks there should be continuation of sidewalk. She
thinks the sidewalk should be on Court Street because we certainly don’t want people who go so
far down and have to cross over to reach sidewalk.
Mr. Hartman stated that it is his understanding that the multi-use pathway can be connected to
this business and Cowgill Street is a very narrow street and has no sidewalks. That’s where it
64
Page 65
Item 2.
fronts and there is a multi-use pathway there. Is that correct? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Ms.
Bulkilvish stated that is correct. The multi-use path goes along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
and then wraps around that kind of peninsula to go down South DuPont Highway. There is no
sidewalk currently on Cowgill Street but the applicant is proposing connection from that multi-
use path along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to the site. There is also no sidewalk on the
Court Street section on the same side of the street that the development is proposed as well.
Ms. Gudorp asked if Planning Staff had the aerial exhibit that shows the reasoning behind the
waiver. She thinks that would help to get a better picture of the sidewalk connectivity. The trail
is lost on the black and white rendering. Responding to Ms. Gudorp (by showing an aerial map
on screen), Ms. Bulkilvish stated that you can see the multi-use path does wrap around the corner
at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and South DuPont Highway. There is no sidewalk on either
side of Court Street or Cowgill Street currently.
Ms. Gudorp stated that they were just trying to figure out what made the most sense. You already
have the trail around the whole perimeter and they thought that making this connection would
help the people that wanted to walk over to the Car Wash.
Mrs. Maucher asked if this was a 24 hours a day operation or what will the hours be. Responding
to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Dowell stated that typically the hours are either 7AM-7PM or 7AM-9PM
Mrs. Maucher questioned how long it takes to get through the actual car wash? Is there any
concern about backup on roadways to get in there and through the Car Wash? Responding to
Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Dowell stated that it is roughly a 2.5 to 3 minute process from the entrance of
the tunnel to the end.
Mrs. Maucher asked if they knew how many cars in a line the site could hold without spilling
back onto the roadway. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Dowell stated that if you start at the
cue from the entrance to the Car Wash, he is not sure that they have an exhibit that shows it, but
he would think that there is a minimum of twenty (20) to twenty-five (25) cars.
Mrs. Maucher asked if the lighting would be illuminated all night or dimmed down after closing.
Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Dowell stated that after hours would be just enough for
security purposes. They do not have any stores open currently in the State of Delaware but he has
looked at stores that they are operating in Florida and the Carolinas. They typically run on
Monday through Saturday 7AM-8PM and then on Sunday from 8AM-6PM.
Mrs. Maucher stated that there were a number of recommendations from Staff regarding
dumpsters, site access, sidewalks and the opaque barrier. Did you have any comments on those
additional recommendations by Planning Staff? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Ms. Gudorp stated
that as Ms. Bulkilvish stated earlier, they are going to be reducing the drive aisle widths to
twelve (12) feet so that they can allow more space for the growth of shrubs as well as the opaque
fence barrier. That will be updated in their next plan. Regarding the dumpster location, the site is
bounded by a twenty (20) foot front yard setback and a thirty (30) foot rear yard setback. As you
can see, they don’t have much room to locate the dumpster properly. So, they have placed it here
to try and fit it with the best access for the trash truck. Regarding the site access, the explanation
65
Page 66
Item 2.
of signage and the question on if people would be confused trying to enter the Car Wash to the
pay station lanes versus that other entrance; so, they will be making sure that the signage is clear
so that there isn’t any confusion.
Mr. Jarrett stated that they have gone through the process as it has been laid out and he doesn’t
want anyone to think that they have tried to circumvent anything. They do plan on have the
appropriate meeting with DelDOT. They thought that they were going through this process as it
has been laid out before us. So, he just wanted to make sure that the Commission was aware that
they were not trying to circumvent anything.
Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the
public hearing.
Mrs. Malone moved to table application S-22-01 Caliber Car Wash at 280 Cowgill Street until
we have a more defined traffic agreement between the City and State, seconded by Mrs. Denney;
she agrees whole heartedly with the need for a traffic study in that particular area before she is
willing to make any motions or movements on it.
Ms. Bulkilvish asked if the Commission could give more information on a timeframe as she
thought this was a long-term thing that was happening.
Mr. Lyon stated that if you are waiting on the Memorandum of Understanding to be completed
between the City and the State, that’s not going to tell you anything about the traffic. That is
really just about long-term maintenance of the road and any sort of tradeoffs that they are doing
with the State. It is nothing to do specifically with this project. He would advise that if you are
going to make a motion, you would say that it be tabled until the traffic recommendations are
brought forth from DelDOT.
Mrs. Malone accepted the amendment to the motion and the motion was carried 6-0 by roll call
vote with Mr. Cooper, Mr. Roach and Dr. Jones absent. Mrs. Malone voting yes; for reasons
stated. Mrs. Denney voting yes; she does think that there is a significant amount of traffic there
as well as pedestrian traffic. She thinks that they really need to hear from DelDOT specifically
as to what they think about this. They have so much squeezed in there that they had a hard time
finding a location for a trash dumpster. So, overall, maybe we shouldn’t be in such a hurry to
just get this all sorted out with that traffic issue. Mr. Hartman voting yes; because of the concern
of the impact to the adjacent business and the impact to the adjacent neighborhood and he
doesn’t believe that they have enough information to make a decision. Speaking to Mr. Jarrett’s
concerns about trying to circumvent the process; nobody thinks that. They just want the process
to catch up with you and they hope that you have a successful project here. Mr. Baldwin voting
yes; until they get enough information about the Traffic Impact Study. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; for
all of the reasons previously stated. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; it will be interesting because she
knows that Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard is a main access road into the State Office
Complex so she thinks that morning and afternoon traffic would be an issue that needs to be
looked at.

D.A.C. MEETING DATE: April 6, 2022
APPLICATION: Minor Subdivision Plan for Lands of Bayroadcap, LLC at 600 Bay Road
FILE #: SB-22-03 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning
CONTACT PERSON: Dawn Melson-Williams, AICP PHONE #: (302) 736-7196
I. PLAN SUMMARY
This Application is the Review of a Minor Subdivision Plan for the two (2) existing Lots of the
overall 12.9366 +/- acre Landing Square Commercial Development on Bay Road. The Plan
proposes to subdivide the larger of the Lots (with direct frontage on Bay Road) into two (2) new
Lots identified as Lots 2 and 3. The Plan also notes a Minor Lot Line Adjustment between Lot 1
and the proposed Lot 2. Lot 1 is proposed to be 4.8365 +/- acres and is to the rear (west) of the
overall site. Lot 2 is proposed to be 4.7580 +/- acres fronting on Bay Road in the northern
portion of the site. Lot 3 is proposed to be 3.3421+/- acres fronting Bay Road in the southeastern
portion of the Site. The subject site is located on the west side of Bay Road near its intersection
with Blue Hen Boulevard and the Bay Court Plaza entrance drive. The property is zoned C-4
(Highway Commercial Zone). The owners of record are Bayroadcap Phase 1, LLC and
Bayroadcap, LLC. Property Address (both Lots): 600 Bay Road. Tax Parcel Numbers: ED-05-
077.00-01-09.00-000, ED-05-077.00-01-09.01-000. Council District 2.
Previous Application Reviews and Plan Approvals
The property has been the subject of several applications for site development; the most recent
applications are noted as follows.
A previous Minor Subdivision Plan SB-21-01 was approved by Planning Commission in March
2021 to subdivide the Bay Road Commercial property at 600 Bay Road consisting of 12.94 acres
+/- into two parcels (Lot 1 and Lot 2). Lot 1 consists of 4.95 acres+/- encompassing the western
portion of the property was developed with Phase 1: Building, stormwater management facility,
and parking area. Lot 1 does not have frontage on Bay Road; however, it was granted a
Subdivision Waiver to allow Lot 1 to be created without direct frontage on a public street by City
Council action on April 12, 2021. Lot 2 consists of 7.99 acres+/- encompassing the eastern
residual portion of the property with frontage on Bay Road.
Regarding the development of the Lot 1 area, Site Plan Application S-19-20 Delaware State
Police Building Update at Bay Road Commercial was approved by the Planning Commission in
September 2019 and received Final Plan Approval on March 6, 2020; the Plan superseded
Application S-17-20 Bay Road Commercial previously approved by the Planning Commission in
July 2017 with Final Plan Approval of July 23, 2019. The Office Building and associated site
68
Page 69
Item 3.
SB-22-03 Minor Subdivision Plan for Lands of Bayroadcap, LLC at 600 Bay Road
DAC Report of April 6, 2022
Page 2
improvements are complete for this Phase 1 area.
For the development of the Lot 2 area with an Office Building and 2 Restaurants, Site Plan
Application C-20-02 Landing Square: Revised Phase 2 Area was approved by the Planning
Commission on August 17, 2020 and achieved Final Plan approval on February 25, 2021. This
Office Building is currently under construction, but construction of the restaurant buildings has
not commenced. A proposal for development of an Apartment Building in the Lot 2 area
reviewed as Conditional Use Site Plan C-20-02 was denied by the Planning Commission in July
2020.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION – Minor Subdivision
This Minor Subdivision Plan proposes to subdivide the overall commercial property into a total
of 3 lots. See the following Table for summary of the lots.
Site Current Proposed Building/Area Use
Acreage Acreage
Lot 1 4.9451 4.8365 acres Phase 1 Area: Existing Office Building
acres constructed under Site Plan S-19-20
Lot 2 7.9915 4.7580 acres Phase 2 Area: Office Building under
acres construction. Also includes area for a
Restaurant shown on Site Plan C-20-02 Revised
Lot 3 Not 3.3421 acres Phase 3 Area: Vacant land with vacant building
applicable (to be demolished) that is proposed for
development of as a parking lot and a
Restaurant with Site Plan C-20-02 Revised
TOTAL 12.9366 12.9366 acres
acres
The procedures for subdivision of land are found in the Land Subdivision Regulations. Planning
Staff confirms this application as a Minor Subdivision. Therefore, the Planning Commission may
find the application is subject to one public hearing and review for action by the Planning
Commission followed by the administrative process to complete the Final Plat for recordation.
In order to subdivide the property, the plan review must ensure that the subdivision does not
create any non-conformities with the bulk standards of the Zoning Ordinance. These bulk
standards include minimum lot size, front yard setbacks, side yard setbacks, rear yard setbacks,
floor area ratio, etc. See discussion below under Zoning Review.
III. ZONING REVIEW
C-4 Zoning District
The property is zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) and subject to the regulations of Zoning
Ordinance, Article 3 Section 16 and Article 4 Section 4.15. The following table highlights some
of the lot design standards for the C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone).

The Plan sheet submitted shows some of the current site improvements of Lot 1 with the Office
Building and its associated parking lot as the Phase 1 development completed under S-19-20.
The property line between Lot 1 and Lot 2 is again proposed for adjustment with this Plan SB-
22-03. Compliance with the setbacks from the property lines is confirmed for this existing Lot 1:
Office Building. The placements of any proposed and under construction buildings on Lot 2
must also comply with the C-4 setbacks; this must be confirmed. The Plan sheet does not include
building and site improvement information for Lot 2 to make such determination.
The east property line of Lot 1 will be utilized to derive the front yard setback on Lot 1 and will
also serve as the rear property line (for the rear yard setback) for Lot 2 and Lot 3. Also, the
existing Lot Coverage of Lot 1 is listed as 74% which complies with the maximum allowed of
75% for that lot. For Lot 2 and Lot 3, the maximum allowed Lot Coverage is 77.9%, as approved
as part of Site Plan S-19-20 and C-20-02. The Lot Coverage was established by approved plans
prior to amendments to the C-4 zone bulk standards (Ordinance #2018-06).
Previously, Lot 1 was granted a Subdivision Waiver to allow the lot’s creation without frontage
on a public street (Bay Road). Lot 1 does have frontage along the privately maintained entrance
drive (Bay Court Plaza Entrance Drive) located on the adjacent property to the south which
allows for the lot’s access to a public street. This entrance drive is subject to easement provisions
granted access to several adjacent properties. Lot 2 and Lot 3 have frontage on a public street
(Bay Road).
This subdivision of land and any future development or use of the parcels are subject to the
requirements found in the City of Dover Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §16 and referenced
sections outlined in the permitted uses for the C-4 Zone.

IV. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Site Access
There are multiple entrances proposed to the overall property site: a right-in/right-out on Bay
Road and three access/exit points off the Bay Court Plaza entrance drive which intersects with
Bay Road at a signalized intersection of Bay Road and Blue Hen Boulevard (to the east). Lot 1 is
served by two access/exit points off the Bay Court Plaza entrance drive; one is at the parking lot
drive aisle (located just on Lot 3) which allows entry to the parking lot area on the east (front)
side of the Office Building and one that serves the area west of the Office Building. One from
Bay Road serves Lot 2. And the eastern access/exit point off the Bay Court Plaza entrance drive)
serves the Lot 3 area while through potential parking circulation drives will also allow access to
Lot 1 and Lot 2.
On the proposed Lot 2 area, the Plan continues to identify the cross-access interconnection to a
neighboring parcel to the north (550 Bay Road). On the proposed Lot 3, the Plan identifies cross-
access interconnection to the adjacent parcel on Bay Road (580 Bay Road surrounded by the
subject site and owned by The Law Office of Karen Y. Vicks).
Parking
The parking requirement for C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) is based on a rate of one parking
space per 300 square feet of floor area and/or based on an alternative parking rate for a specific
use. The approved Site Plans (S-19-20 and C-20-02) for the overall property depict vehicle and
bicycle parking spaces on both Lot 1, Lot 2, and proposed Lot 3.
Sidewalk
Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §18 requires the installation of sidewalks along the public street
frontage of a property whenever such property involves a development proposal which is subject
to Planning Commission review and approval. For the lands involved in this Minor Subdivision
Plan, there are existing sidewalks along portions of the Bay Court Plaza entrance drive and a
proposed multi-use pathway along the Bay Road frontage of Lot 2 and Lot 3 as identified on Site
Development Plans.
V. TREE AND LANDSCAPE PLANTING
When site development of the individual parcels (Lots 1, 2, and 3) occurs, the development will
be required to meet the provisions for Landscape Guidelines and Tree Planting and Preservation.
These tree planting and landscaping requirements are subject principally to the regulations found
in Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Sections 15 and 16 and are also addressed in other various
sections of code related to buffering, screening, and open space. There are existing tree plantings
that have already occurred with the development of the Phase 1 area (proposed Lot 1) including
partial implementation of an approved Tree Mitigation Plan which plants trees on the adjacent
property to the south. As approved, Site Plan S-19-20 and C-20-02 include the tree planning and
landscape plans for the overall complex.
VI. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS
The subject proposal has been reviewed for code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness
in accordance with this agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following items have been
identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant:

Ordinances, Appendix A: Land Subdivision Regulations, Article IV, C. Plat and any
additional requirements of the Planning Commission.
9) The formal Record Plan will need to be recorded upon completion of the approval process
with any corrections identified by the reviewing agencies.
VII. RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS TO MEET CODE
OBJECTIVES:
The Land Subdivision Regulations, Article I. Purpose, indicates that the regulations are adopted
in order to promote and protect the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare;
ensure the orderly growth and development of the City, the conservation, protection and proper
use of land, and adequate provision for housing, recreation, circulation, utilities, and services;
and safeguard the City from undue future expenditure for the maintenance of streets and public
spaces.
1) This Minor Subdivision Plan creates a total of three (3) lots from the existing two lots; the
areas remain zoned C-4. The Subdivision Plan generally complies with the Land Subdivision
Regulations.
2) The proposed Minor Subdivision Plan for the was evaluated. The subdivision of this
property into three (3) individual lots does not impede the plan to develop the site. The
applicant notes a financial motivation related to ease of multiple phases of development of
the property that will continue to function as one complex.
a) The Plan approval should require cross access easements among all three Lots and along
the Bay Court Plaza entrance drive to ensure permanent access to Bay Road is secured.
b) The Plan should include easements allow for the owners of each lot to make any
improvements necessary to the internal circulation system and to ensure that internal
circulation and site access to all Lots are beneficial to the public health, safety, and
general welfare.
Other agencies may recommend additional conditions and safeguards in accordance with their
areas of expertise. The Recommended Additional Considerations to Meet Code Objectives are
offered for consideration by the Planning Commission.

VIII. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Minor Subdivision Plan occur in the
finalization of the Plan contact the Department of Planning and Inspections. These changes
may require resubmittal for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning
Commission, or other agencies making recommendations in regard to the plan.
2) Following Planning Commission approval of the Minor Subdivision Plan, the Plan must be
revised to meet all conditions of approval from the Development Advisory Committee or as
otherwise noted. A Check Print must be submitted for review by Planning Office Staff. Upon
determination that the Plan is complete and all agency approvals have been received, copies
of the Plan must be submitted for final endorsement prior to recordation at the Kent County
Recorder of Deeds Office.
3) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory Committee
may provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code requirements.
4) Planning Staff recommends working with the City’s Tax Assessment Office to clarify
property addresses for this multi-building complex as it appears that buildings on separate
parcels have the address of 600 Bay Road or may be addressed as 600A and 600B which
could be confusing.
5) The applicant shall be aware that Minor Subdivision Plan approval does not represent a
Building Permit, Demolition Permit, Sign Permit, and associated construction activity
permits. A separate application process is required for issuance of a Permit from the City of
Dover.
If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the
above contact person and the Planning Department as soon as possible.

Parcel Number: ED-05-067.00-02-57-00-000.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located at the northeast side of McKee Road, near the intersection of
McKee Road and Scarborough Road. The applicant is proposing sixteen (16) three-story, garden-
style Apartment Buildings each with twenty-four (24) units for a total of 384 Dwelling Units.
The project also includes sixteen (16) five-car garages and multiple parking lots. The Recreation
related features include a 6,000 SF Club House with adjacent Pool, six (6) foot wide concrete
Walking Trail, seven (7) picnic areas, a Dog Park, and Large Grass Turf Playing Field. The
project is to only develop the RG-2 (General Residence) zoned portion of the parcel, using the C-
2A zoned portion only for the entrance to access the Apartments. An application for the
commercial portion of the property will be filed separately.
The property is adjacent to the Delaware Railroad corridor to the east with land owned by
DNREC (and located in the County) east of the railroad. There is a mixture of properties to the
southeast zoned M (Manufacturing Zone) and IO (Institutional and Office Zone), the latter being
the location of North Dover Elementary School. The properties across McKee Road are all
residential, being zoned primarily R-8 (One-Family Residence Zone). As such, this subject
application is proposing an entrance aligned with the entrance to the Emerald Point Subdivision.

The property across Scarborough Road is zoned IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing) and is the
site of Hirsh Industries, a manufacturing facility.
Preliminary Land Use Services Review (PLUS): PLUS Review: #2021-09-05.
A development application for this property was reviewed on September 22, 2021 by the
Preliminary Land Use Services. The PLUS Review is required by a City of Dover Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) for certain types of projects. This MOU requires that residential
development of 125 or more dwelling units complete the PLUS Review process prior to
application submission. The applicant’s response Letter of April 1, 2022 to the PLUS Review
Letter has been received.
III. ZONING REVIEW
RG-2 (General Residence Zone)
The application is a Site Development Plan for the proposed construction of sixteen apartment
buildings located within the portion of the subject site zoned RG-2. Garden Apartments are a
permitted use in the RG-2 Zone requiring Site Plan Approval from the Planning Commission.
(Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 2)
Article 3 Section 2 General Residence Zones (RG-1 and RG-2)
2.1 Uses permitted. In a general residence zone, no building or premises shall be used, and no building
or part of a building shall be erected, which is arranged, intended or designed to be used, in whole or in
part, for any purpose, except the following:
2.11 Any use permitted in one-family residence zones.
2.12 Garden apartments limited to placement within the RG-2 district only.
2.2 Performance standards. All uses are subject to performance standards as set forth in article 5,
section 8.1.
2.3 Site development plan approval. Site development plan approval in accordance with article 10,
section 2 hereof shall be required prior to the issuance of building permits for the erection or enlargement
of all structures and related accessory structures. Such approval shall also be required prior to the
issuance of certificates of occupancy for a change of use.
Article 4 Section 4.3. [RG-2 zone.]
Bulk and parking regulations for general residence zone (RG-2) [are as follows (see also article 12, definitions;

COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone)
A portion of this site is also subject to the Corridor Overlay Zone along McKee Road, but
aligned to the layout of old McKee Road. The Zoning Ordinance details the requirements of the
COZ-1 in Article 3 §27 and its subsections. The Corridor Overlay Zone as a planning and growth
management tool is designed to foster an attractive, efficient, and economically vibrant urban
corridor along Route 8/Forrest Avenue and Saulsbury/McKee Roads. To this end, more stringent
standards are applied to development taking place in the corridor. A discussion of the provisions
of the COZ-1 which apply to this application follow below.
The proposed Clubhouse Building is the only part of the proposed Site Plan that lies within the
boundaries of the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The compliance of the project with the COZ-
1 requirements is discussed below.
• Architectural Renderings of any building within the COZ-1 are required upon submission
for Planning Commission Review. No Architectural Renderings have been submitted for
this proposed Clubhouse. Planning Staff is therefore unable to determine if the proposed
Clubhouse is in compliance with the Architectural requirements of the COZ-1.
o There are no features identified on the Site Plan that would indicate that the
elevation facing McKee Road will be utilized as an entrance, or at least designed
to appear as the elevation with a main entrance. No architectural renderings were
submitted noting as such either.
o It is unclear if the Clubhouse Building complies with the allowable number of
stories and maximum permitted height of 35 feet in the COZ-1.
o The building appears to be located within the minimum 60-foot/ maximum 80-
foot setback for buildings within the COZ-1.
• Frontage Landscaping – There is a requirement for a Landscape Buffer and Tree
Plantings at one (1) tree per 50 SF along the property frontage. This will have to be
reviewed on the Landscape Plan.
86
Page 87
Item 4.
S-21-11 McKee Road Apartments
DAC Report of April 6, 2022
Page 5
• Achieves the following for the parking lot layout/arrangement: parking lot location is not
in the front yard setback or located between the building and the corridor frontages.
• The proposal meets the requirement that a minimum of 25% of the lot consists of
landscaped open space.
• It is unclear if the project complies with the 6-foot sidewalk width and a landscaped area
of at least 12 feet between the building and parking lot. No details on sidewalks or width
between the building and the parking lot appear to be shown in any of the Plans.
IV. PARKING SUMMARY
The parking requirement for apartments is based on a rate of two (2) parking space per dwelling
unit plus 0.25 space per dwelling unit for visitor parking and one parking space for every 200 SF
of office space. Based on the number of dwelling units (384 units), this site would require 864
parking spaces. The submission does not indicate office space. The plans submitted identify a
total of 768 parking spaces, including thirty-two (32) handicapped parking spaces.
Parking
Vehicle parking is provided in front of each apartment building as open-space parking lots, with
an additional sixteen (16) garage structures each containing five (5) parking spaces each
interspersed throughout the parking lots. There are no parking spaces directly abutting the rear of
any building.
Waiver Request: Reduction in Required Number of Parking Spaces
The Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 Section 3.9 allows the Planning Commission to consider
adjustments to parking requirements. The Planning Commission in granting a parking reduction
require that an area of open space be designated where parking could be constructed. Parking is
required at a rate of 2.25 spaces per dwelling unit for apartments (Zoning Ordinance, Article 5
Section 6); this requires 864 parking spaces based on the unit count and the proposed plan is for
768 parking spaces. The applicant is asking for a 13% reduction for the required parking which
equates to a reduction of six spaces per apartment building. The total reduction would equate to
the elimination of roughly 15,500 SF of impervious surfaces aiding in the stormwater
management of an already sensitive area given the extent of the wetlands on the property.
Potential Waiver Request: Bicycle Parking
Bicycle parking is required at a ratio of one space for every twenty parking spaces. If the site is
required to have 864 vehicle parking spaces, forty-four (44) bicycle parking spaces are required.
There is no indication of any bicycle parking on the plans.
V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Access
There is one entrance proposed to the site. The entrance drive is to be located across from the
Emerald Pointe Subdivision and meander across the property first along the east side of the
portion of the property zoned C-2A before extending in a northeast direction to get to the
Apartment Buildings. There are limitations placed on the property by DelDOT which prohibit a
second access point off of McKee Road or Scarborough Road.

DAC Report of April 6, 2022

Lighting
No lighting details have been provided at this time.
Rear Emergency Access
Emergency rear access is required for some residential dwelling types. According to Article 5,
Section 17 of the Zoning Ordinance, an 18 ft. wide Secondary Fire Lane or 18 ft. wide subgrade
emergency access lane is required for Apartments that are 2-3 stories to serve as rear access. This is
to provide access to rear building areas. The Plans submitted appear to show Subgrade Emergency
Access Lanes (labeled as 18 foot wide Emergency Access Lanes on the Plans) being provided to
access the rear of each of the (16) Apartment Buildings. These Rear Emergency Access Drives are
subgrade and are shown to be 18 feet wide. The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 17 items (4a-f)
lists construction criteria for Subgrade Emergency Access including width, compaction, delineation
method, maintenance, and accessibility. They do however appear to conflict with some of the
grading shown for swales/ stormwater management. Further details are required for clarification.
Fire Marshal’s Office will also evaluate these fire protection measures as related to the fire lane
requirements of the applicable Fire Codes.
Sidewalks
There are sidewalks across the entirety of the site connecting pedestrians from one apartment
buildings to the next. Sidewalks are also shown providing access from all of the vehicle parking
areas to each of the apartment buildings. There is however no direct sidewalk shown connecting
the Apartment Buildings to the Community Clubhouse.
There is additionally a sidewalk shown along the east side of the access drive off McKee Road
which connects McKee Road to the Apartment Buildings with dedicated pedestrian facilities.
This sidewalk is only shown along the east side of access drive off McKee Road, with none
shown along the west side of the same access road. There is consequently no direct sidewalk or
pedestrian access being provided to any potential future commercial use of the portion of the
property zoned C-2A (Central Commercial Zone).
Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Frontage Sidewalk
Sidewalks are required along the McKee Road/ Scarborough Road street frontages of the site
(Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 18). The plan does not show any sidewalk/multi-use path
along the McKee Road frontage. There is a sidewalk on the eastern side of the entrance drive that
brings pedestrians out to McKee Road, but there is no further extension of the sidewalk along
McKee Road. The applicant requests that the sidewalk requirement along the McKee Road
frontage be eliminated as there is already a 10 foot wide multi-modal path and all appropriate
crosswalks and signaling in existence on the west side of McKee Road. This project proposes
implementation of a pedestrian crossing at the site entrance intersection to reach the multi-modal
path. It is noted that DelDOT will also be reviewing the pedestrian system (sidewalks, pathways)
as part of the Entrance Plan design review.
Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Upright Curbing
The upright curbing for the parking lots and drive aisles is required by the requirements of
Article 6 Section 3.6(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. This curb type appears to be utilized
88
Page 89
Item 4.
S-21-11 McKee Road Apartments
DAC Report of April 6, 2022
Page 7
throughout the site layout. In certain areas where the parking is met by green space, the applicant
has asked for a waiver for the partial elimination of upright curbing to assist with stormwater
flow and management. Instead, they will have curb stops (bumpers) at each parking spot.
Dumpsters
According to Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §6.12, the Dumpster requirements for an Apartment
Complex are two (2) Dumpsters required for the first 48 apartments, and one (1) for each additional
24 apartments or fraction thereof. Since there are 384 apartment dwelling units proposed there are a
minimum of 16 dumpsters required. The Site Plan shows 18 dumpsters in the vicinity of the
Apartment Buildings and additional dumpster to accommodate the Clubhouse area.
The Zoning Ordinance additionally requires that all dumpsters be screened from public rights-of-way
as well as requiring that they meet minimum dimensions. No details beyond their proposed locations
were provided in the Plan submissions.
VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
All of the Apartment Buildings are proposed to be three stories tall and have 24 units each. The
buildings are sided with a mix of stone and board and batten siding in a variety of colors to break up
the overall massing of the building. There is a gable roof on the building that looks to have asphalt
shingles. There are balconies/covered porches shown at each level which also contain a small
storage closet on one side leaving the balconies open on two sides. The balcony portion of the
buildings juts out approximately 10 feet and are topped with a pitched roof. There are four sets of
these balconies across the front of the building and four sets at the rear. The stairwells at the front of
the building also protrude out about 5 feet and are also topped with a pitched roof. There are two
open stairwells accessed from the front of the building.
The Garage structures look very cohesive to the Apartment Buildings have both a mix of stone and
board and batten siding along with a asphalt shingled gable roof. There are five (5) garage doors
across the front of the structure adorned with black hardware and two lantern like light fixtures at
the front.
The proposed Clubhouse lies within the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and as such is required to
comply with certain added architectural standards as found in Article 3, Section 27 of the Zoning
Ordinance. No architectural details were given for this proposed Clubhouse, and as such Planning
Staff cannot determine compliance. The applicant only submitted a series of photographs as an
example of a similar Clubhouse.
VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN
Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 16 lays out the requirements for tree planting and preservation.
A new project is required to provide tree planting at a rate of one (1) tree per 3,000 SF of
“Development Area.” This property consists of a mixture of woodlands, wetlands, and open vacant
land. The applicant has taken careful consideration in the placement of the apartment buildings as to
disturb as little of the woodlands as possible. The southern portion of the property includes a large
woodland area with wetlands. This plan is considering the Development Area as 30.38 Acres or
1,323,410 SF meaning the project would require a minimum of 442 trees.
COZ-1 Landscape/ Tree Requirements
89
Page 90
Item 4.
S-21-11 McKee Road Apartments
DAC Report of April 6, 2022
Page 8
The portion of the property along McKee Road is in the Corridor Overlay Zone (COZ-1). The
COZ-1 has additional planting requirements of one tree per 50 feet of road frontage. With that being
said the number of trees required to fulfill this landscape requirement is 51 trees. In total the project
is proposing to have a total of 496 trees, 56 of which are along the McKee Road frontage and in
front of the Clubhouse.
Wetland Area
Included on the plan is also details on riparian buffer plantings encompassing 1.63 acres where the
applicant has requested a reduction in the 100-foot buffer required from wetlands. A reduction to 50
feet can be requested with the planting of a riparian buffer consisting of native vegetation or the
retention of existing trees and vegetation.
VIII. ACTIVE RECREATION AREA
Request for Consideration of Cash-in-lieu of Recreation Area Construction
The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 10 sets out requirements to preserve areas of open
space within residential developments which are designed to provide buffer spaces between
developing areas, to preserve existing natural and historic features and to establish a network of
open spaces within the built environment to provide a balance between developed and
undeveloped lands, wildlife habitat conservation, the preservation of scenic view corridors, and
to provide residents opportunities to engage in passive recreational activities. Zoning Ordinance,
Article 5 Section 10.11 notes the purpose of providing Recreation Areas.
10.1 Recreation areas.
10.11 Purpose. The purpose of this section is to ensure that active recreation areas are
provided as an integral design element within residential developments and that such facilities are
of an adequate scale in relation to the size of the residential development and which provide
residents with a variety of active recreational pursuits.
See Recreation Plan Review Report for more detailed review (attached document) that will also
be forwarded to the CCOW Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee for their
review on April 12, 2022.

wetland buffer. Revise the location of the Rear Access Lane so that it no longer
encroaches into the buffer.
19) C-206
a) Remove the note that says “9x18’ Parking Space” but points to a dumpster across from
Buildings 11 and 12.
b) Fine tune all labeling as there are several instances where labels are off slightly and are
not pointing to the right things. (Ex. At the ends of Buildings 14 and 15 the labels
denoting the width of the Rear Access Lane and then the distance from the building to the
Rear Access Lane is slightly off).
c) Show the area delineated for the Turf Playing Field.
d) Define the area of the Dog Park and include any Site Features including fencing, water
features, benches, etc.
20) L-001

X. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET
CODE OBJECTIVES:
In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.2, the Planning Commission in
considering and acting upon Site Development Plans may prescribe appropriate conditions and
safeguards so that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the
public in general, and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken
into consideration. These safeguards may to the maximum extent possible further the expressed
intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed
in subsections 2.21 to 2.28.
1) Recommendation on Waiver Requests:
a) Partial Elimination of Curbing: Planning Staff grants the Waiver Request as submitted by
the Applicant for the Partial Elimination of Upright Curbing. The Applicant has identified
that this request pertains only to those areas necessary to allow for the runoff of sheet flow
from existing paved areas and to allow sheet flow drainage into pervious grassed and
landscaped areas. Where 6-inch Upright Curbing is not utilized, the Applicant is still
required to provide parking bumpers in vehicle parking spaces. The applicant is also
advised to add an area of upright curbing around a bump out in a parking area where a fire
hydrant is to be located prevention from it being hit by a vehicle.
b) Reduction in Parking Requirements: Planning Staff recommends approval of the Waiver
Request for the reduction in Parking Requirements. The Applicant is requesting a 13%
reduction in the minimum parking requirements (54 vehicle parking spaces to 48 vehicle
parking spaces per building). The Applicant cites their past experience with building
Apartment Complexes, as well as the need to minimize impervious surface coverage for
the benefit of stormwater management. Planning Staff further notes the overall proposed
vehicle parking space figure of 764 spaces for the site overall, which should be sufficient.
While the applicant has not shown bicycle parking on the plans, they have reassured us
that there will be bicycle parking near the Clubhouse as well as the Playing Field and that
each unit has a storage locker on the balcony suitable for the storage of a bicycle. Since
the site is also within proximity of public transit routes, the project should ensure access to
nearby bus stops is available.

Item 4.
S-21-11 McKee Road Apartments
DAC Report of April 6, 2022
Page 13
c) Partial Elimination of Street Frontage Sidewalk: The Applicant has requested a Waiver
from the requirement to provide a sidewalk along the McKee Road frontage, noting in
their request, the existence of a sidewalk already in place along the west side of McKee
Road. Planning Staff however notes that the existence of a sidewalk along the westside of
McKee Road- Scarborough Road in no way negates the necessity of pedestrian traffic to
need dedicated facilities on the east side of McKee/ Scarborough Road, especially since it
is the east side of the right-of-way where the 384 Apartment Units are proposed, this is a
very heavily trafficked road, and the east side of McKee Road is noted as being likely
subject to a future commercial use.
Planning Staff additionally notes the east side of McKee Road being largely within the
COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone), and as such, there are added design requirements and
pedestrian considerations. As such Planning Staff recommends that a Sidewalk/Pathway
be implemented along the east side of McKee Road for at least the portion of the property
which lies in front of the commercially zoned property to allow for pedestrian access to
any potential future commercial development. Planning Staff further notes that the
Clubhouse itself is required to have a principal entrance facing the McKee Road frontage.
As such, the sidewalk should at least be provided along the frontage where the commercial
zoning is in place, and up to a point where a sidewalk can be provided from McKee Road
onto the site to the Clubhouse area.
2) Active Recreation Area:
a) Open Space/Active Recreation: Planning Staff notes that the Active Recreation Area
being proposed by the Applicant does not meet the minimum requirements per the overall
Apartment Unit count. The Plans show 87,075 SF SF of Active Recreation Area which
currently consists of a Clubhouse and Pool Area, Manicured Turf Fields, seven (7) Picnic
Areas, a Dog Park and Active Concrete Walking Trails. See the Recreation Review
Report for specific recommendations.
b) Active Recreation Area Deficit: Per the proposed Unit Count of 384 Dwelling Units
(Apartments), the Site is required to have 105,600 SF of Active Recreation Area. The
Plans submitted show 87,075 SF of Active Recreation Area being provided, leaving a
deficit of 18,525 SF. The Applicant has requested to pay the required fee in lieu for the
difference.
3) Cash-in-Lieu of Active Recreation Area Construction:
a) An appraisal dated October 6, 2021 was received for the property and set the Land Value
at $2,850,000.
b) Based off of the land value and the Active Recreation Area Deficit the Cash-in-Lieu Fee
for the Construction of Active Recreation Area is calculated at $15,561. It is noted that
this calculation is based on the size of the proposed active recreation area amenities.
Should the recreation area change in size, then the Active Recreation Area Deficit may
change requiring recalculation of the Cash-in-Lieu amount.
4) Planning Staff encourages this project to include the installation of Electric Vehicle Charging
Stations in its parking lot. Currently, the Zoning Ordinance does not require them, but many
other jurisdictions have implemented such requirements. Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
95
Page 96
Item 4.
S-21-11 McKee Road Apartments
DAC Report of April 6, 2022
Page 14
formats include EV-Capable, EV-Ready, and EV-Installed.
XI. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) The Planning Commission should act upon the request for waivers as part of any motion
regarding this project application, or as a separate motion as necessary. Note: All waivers
are at the discretion of the Planning Commission. The Commission may approve or deny
waiver requests.
2) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Site Development Plan occur in the
finalization of the Site Plan contact the Department of Planning and Inspections.
Examples include relocation of site components like paving and increases in floor area.
These changes may require resubmittal for review by the Development Advisory
Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making
recommendations in regard to the Plan.
3) Following Planning Commission approval of the Site Development Plan, the Plan must
be revised to meet all conditions of approval from the Development Advisory Committee
or as otherwise noted. A Check Print must be submitted for review by Planning Office
Staff and the other commenting agencies. Upon determination that the Plan is complete
and all agency approvals have been received, copies of the Plan may be submitted for
final endorsement (Final Plan Approval).
4) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory
Committee may provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code
requirements.
5) The Building Permit for the Apartment Buildings shall not be granted until the payment
of the Cash-in-lieu of Active Recreation Area Construction donation has been received
by the City.
6) For building new construction, the requirements of the building code and the fire code
must be complied with. Consult with the Chief Building Inspector and City of Dover Fire
Marshal for these requirements. The resolution of these items may impact the site design
including such items as building dimensions and height, building openings, and fire
protection needs, etc.
7) The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any development or ground
disturbing activities on the site the appropriate site inspections and permits are required.
This includes activities to clean-up existing vegetation, the import of fill dirt, etc.
8) Construction may have an effect on the adjacent property owners and nearby travel lanes.
Any work requiring the closing or rerouting of potential customers or visitors to adjacent
properties should be coordinated as to offer the least amount of inconvenience to the
adjacent property owners.
96

Page 15
9) The addresses for the new buildings proposed on the property will need to be confirmed
with the City’s Tax Assessment Office. The existing two addresses may be revised.
Planning Staff also recommends the naming of the drive aisles to assist with addressing.
10) The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any ground disturbing activities on
the site the appropriate Site Plan approvals, Pre-Construction meetings, site inspections
and permits are required.
11) The applicant shall be aware that Conditional Use Site Plan approval does not represent a
Building Permit and associated construction activity permits. A separate application
process is required for issuance of a Building Permit from the City of Dover. Building
Permits will be required for each building.
12) The applicant shall be aware that Plan approval does not represent a Sign Permit, nor
does it convey permission to place any sign on the premises. Any proposed site or
building identification sign may require a Sign Permit from the City of Dover prior to
placement of any such sign in accordance with Zoning Ordinance Article 5 §4.
If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the
above contact person and the Planning Department as soon as possible.

Good afternoon,
Delaware State Parks owns the adjacent parcel across the railroad tracks and would like to work with
the developer to develop shared recreational amenities that would benefit the residents and the
public. This could be in the form of a trail or water access. A recreation plan for the area would
minimize trespassing and other undesirable activities on the property and would be a mutually
beneficial arrangement. If the applicant could contact me through email or phone to discuss I would
be most appreciative. I can be reached by calling 302-739-9935 or emailing
Elena.Stewart@delaware.gov.
Thank you,

APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY Planning
D.A.C. MEETING DATE: March 30, 2022 Organization
APPLICATION: McKee Road Apartments at 1385 McKee Road
FILE #: S-21-11 REVIEWING AGENCY: Dover/Kent County MPO
CONTACT PERSON: Jim Galvin, AICP PHONE #: (302) 387-6030
The MPO requested the opportunity to bring the recommendations on issues of our concern to the City as well. The
MPO will limit comments to projects to development proposals and applications that may lead to new development.
Issues of concern to the MPO are effective transit, reducing the amount of vehicle emissions by shortening or
eliminating trips, and facilities for alternative modes of transportation, including bicycle and pedestrian access. The
MPO considers the bicycle facilities required by the City of Dover to be the standard for all applications, not to be
waived.
City of Dover Planning Commission 4/18/202
Project Review
The City of Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan included this paragraph on page 9-9:
“The 2018 Kent County Rail/Freight Zoning Study recommends keeping parcels adjacent to the railroad
in industrial zoning classifications, in order to allow for potential new industrial uses that load directly
onto the rail line (similar to the way Kraft-Heinz and Proctor & Gamble do now). Keeping these parcels
in industrial zoning also reduces the likelihood of noise and safety concerns that may come from
developing them with residential or commercial uses. Supporting these plans’ recommendations will
bolster the viability of freight rail service in Kent County and throughout Delmarva.”
The Dover/Kent County MPO was requested by the Kent Economic Partnership to expand the 2018 MPO
study of parcels of 6 acres or more adjacent to the Delaware Secondary Rail Line. We will have a
completed study by the end of the Fiscal Year on June 30, and hopefully sooner. This study considered
all parcels adjacent to the rail that are distributed in all our partner communities along the railway. The
purpose of both studies was and is to identify the valuable rail-adjacent parcels that are required for
industrial and heavy commercial land uses that require rail access.
The subject parcel, once annexed into the City, became the last major parcel adjacent to the rail in Dover.
The opportunities of such a site are demonstrated by the recent construction of the Delmarva Corrugated
Packaging facility on the POW-MIA Parkway. The McKee Road site is adjacent to a large commercial
and industrial use with a rail spur on the north side of Scarborough Road (McKee Business Park). It is
117
Page 118
Item 4.
not adjacent to residential neighborhoods and is relatively remote from the nearest neighborhood of
Emerald Point.
Residential uses are contraindicated on the site due to the noise from the railway and the elevated
Scarborough Road. The nearest grade separated intersections are College Road to the south and Denny’s
Road to the north. Both are equidistant from the site and will require train warnings for the crossings that
will require the horn be sounded in the area of the proposed apartments.
The MPO recommends the application be denied and the City rezone the property to a zoning category
that will preserve the site for a rail-dependent industrial or heavy commercial use.
If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call Jim
Galvin at the MPO and the Planning Department as soon as possible.

life, supporting plants and animals that are found nowhere else.
Response: Wetland buffers will be maintained as required by City and State
codes. Any encroachment into the wetlands would be permitted as required.
• The DNREC Wetlands and Subaqueous Lands Section recommends that a wetland
Jurisdictional Determination (JD) is conducted for this site. A consultant or a
representative of the WSLS will conduct a JD to flag the wetland boundary and
determine impacts to wetlands. Please contact the DNREC Wetlands and Subaqueous
Lands Section for more information. Apply for the JD through the following website:
Response: A wetland JD will be conducted and provided to staff.
Vegetated Buffer Zones
• Expand the 50-foot buffer to no less than 100 feet from the edge of wetlands and all
waterways (rivers, streams, ditches, ponds, etc.) to protect water quality and to
provide an additional margin of safety for flooding.
Response: We have respected the City of Dover’s 100 foot wetland buffer as
much as possible. We have reduced the buffer to the allowable 50’ in certain
areas, however. Our Plan proposes the replanting and rejuvenation of the
buffer areas where there are no plantings.
• Vegetated buffer zones should be left undisturbed during construction and should be
identified outside of the Limit of Disturbance on the engineering plans. In some
instances, stormwater outfalls, conveyances, and emergency spillways may cross
through these zones, and will require temporary disturbance during construction.
Response: It is our intention to limit any disturbance in these areas and will be
designed and marked accordingly.
• Vegetated buffer zones should be deeded as community open space. Signage should
be installed at the edge and within the buffer zones to deter residents from
encroaching into these common areas.
Response: It is our intention to limit any regular maintenance of the open space
in these areas. Meadow and natural plantings are proposed for these areas and
are intended to be left in an natural state at the conclusion of construction.
• Maintain vegetated buffer zones as either grasslands/meadows or forest. Buffer zones
should be planted exclusively with native trees and plants. Native plants are well-
suited to our climate and require limited maintenance. They also provide an
increasingly important role in the survival of native birds and beneficial insects
whose habitat is shrinking due to development and climate change.
Response: See previous responses as they address this issue.
• Grass cutting for vegetated buffer zones if maintained as meadow should not occur
between April 1st to July 31st to reduce impacts to nesting birds and other wildlife

Stormwater Management
This application proposes greater than 5000 square feet of land disturbing activities,
therefore, this project will be subject to Delaware’s Sediment and Stormwater Regulations.
• A Sediment and Stormwater Plan must be developed, then approved by the
appropriate plan review agency prior to any land disturbing activity taking place on
the site. For this project, the plan review agency is the Kent Conservation District.
Response: Comment Noted, a complete detailed plan review will be submitted
to KCD as required by code.
• Additionally, to address federal requirements, construction activities that exceed 1.0
acre of land disturbance require Construction General Permit coverage through
submittal of an electronic Notice of Intent for Stormwater Discharges Associated
with Construction Activity. This form must be submitted electronically
(https://apps.dnrec.delaware.eov/enoi/, select Construction Stormwater General
Permit) to the DNREC Division of Watershed Stewardship, along with the $195 fee.
Response: Comment Noted, as required by code, an NOI or Notice of intent will
be completed and filed for the site.
• Schedule a project application meeting with the appropriate plan review agency prior
to moving forward with the stormwater and site design. As part of this process, you
must submit a Stormwater Assessment Study.

Removal of Mature Forest
• The preliminary plan proposes the elimination of 5 of 45 acres of forest on the site.
DNREC reviewers acknowledge efforts by the developer to leave the forested habitat
in the southern portion of the site largely undisturbed. An analysis of historical data
indicates that the forest area located on the southern portion of the site has likely
maintained some degree of forest cover since 1937 and could be considered mature
forest. Mature forests possess the potential for rare, threatened, or endangered species
that rely on this type of habitat.
Response: Comment Noted, the development plan intends on limiting the
clearing of forested areas as much as possible.
• Removing forested areas for development should be avoided to the greatest extent
possible. As proposed, prioritize the conservation of potentially mature forest. Forests
filter water for improved water quality, provide habitat for wildlife, absorb nutrients,
infiltrate stormwater, moderate temperatures, and store atmospheric carbon which
would otherwise contribute to climate change.
Response: Comment Noted, see response above.
• A forest assessment should be conducted to determine if mature forest resources exist
on the property and to delineate their boundaries. Additionally, a forest assessment
would include the identification of specimen trees and forest-dependent wildlife. If
mature forests are found, these areas should be conserved to the maximum extent
practicable.
Response: Comment Noted, see response above with regard to the removal of
forested areas.
• To reduce impacts to nesting birds and other wildlife species that utilize forests for
breeding, it is recommended that tree clearing not occur from April 1St to July 31ˢ ᵗ.
Likewise, avoid mowing open space areas and grass filter strips during the same
timeframe, as various species of birds utilize these areas for nesting sites.
Response: Comment Noted, it is the intent of the plans to minimize the amount
of “maintained open space” on the project. The vast majority of the open spaces
closest to the forested areas will remain or be reestablished to a meadow
condition.

Stormwater Management
• Where the site and soil conditions allow, integrate runoff reduction techniques
including infiltration basins, bioretention (rain gardens), filter strips, and pavers to
encourage on- site stormwater infiltration and reduce runoff.
Response: Comment Noted, these practices are commonplace given the
requirements of the state stormwater regulations. Infiltration, submerged
gravel wetlands, and filtering practices are usually incorporated into our
designs.
• For improved stormwater management, preserve existing trees, wetlands, and passive
open space.
Response: Comment Noted, its always a good practice to preserve wooded areas
where possible.

Mosquitoes
• The project will be impacted by mosquitoes due to its location near large expanses of
wetlands. Mosquito control issues are increasing as developments infringe on
wetland areas, often leading to increased demands for mosquito control services
beyond what DNREC has the resources to provide.
Response: Comment Noted
• If necessary, arrange for long-term mosquito control services through a private
company licensed in this area of specialty. In some cases, the DNREC Mosquito
Control Section may be able to provide these services free of charge.

Previous Contamination
• DNREC records indicate that contamination has occurred at a site within the vicinity
of the project location, called Atlantic Coast Environmental (Project ID DE-1379).
Groundwater at the Atlantic Coast Environmental facility has been shown to flow in
a northerly direction toward Fork Branch. As such, it is inferred that contamination
potential is low at the proposed development site. Installation of any wells and
subsequent drawdown of associated aquifers could change underground hydrologic
conditions.

Natural Areas
The forested area that currently exists on the site is connected to a much larger
contiguous forest complex extending into land designated as the Fork Branch
Natural Area, which is located east of the project site. Natural Areas contain
lands of statewide significance identified by the Natural Areas Advisory
Council as the highest quality and most important natural lands remaining in
Delaware.
• As proposed, reduce environmental impacts near Natural Areas by avoiding impacts
to sensitive areas such as wetlands and forest habitat. Where possible, design site
features to avoid the removal of contiguous tracts of forests.
Response: Comment Noted, see previous response about tree removal and the
forested areas
• Consider dedicating forested areas as a Nature Preserve through a conservation
easement or donation of land. For more information, please contact the DNREC
Planning Preservation and Development Section.

Additional Sustainable Practices
• Install electric vehicle charging stations for your residents. Increasingly, residents
will expect EV charging. It is easier to plan for the installation at construction, rather
than doing costly retrofits later. The DNREC Division of Climate, Coastal and
Energy offers rebates of up to 90% of the cost of the charging station for commercial,
multi-unit dwelling and other public properties. These programs address climate
change goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving overall air quality
Response: Comment Noted. EV charging stations are available to the tenants
and can be provided as necessary.

I. PROJECT SUMMARY:
The project proposes the construction of sixteen (16) 3-story garden-style apartment buildings
each containing twenty-four (24) apartment units. The property at 1385-1389 McKee Road was
annexed into the City of Dover in June of 2020. At that time the property was zoned RG-2
(General Residence Zone) with a 5.26-acre portion at the front of the property along McKee
Road across from the Emerald Pointe Subdivision zoned C-2A (Limited Central Commercial
Zone). A portion of the property is also subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The
current application under review is for the residential portion of the property only.
II. ACTIVE RECREATION AREA PLAN SUMMARY:
As part of the Plan review process for this project, the applicant prepared a Conceptual
Recreation Plan (Received October 29, 2021) which illustrates how the McKee Road Apartments
development will provide recreation amenities in accordance with the design specifications
described in Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 10: Open space, recreation, and other public
facilities. Due to the property size and unit density, this project does not qualify for any of the
Active Recreation Area exemptions for small developments under Zoning Ordinance, Article 5
§10.5.
The Active Recreation Area is required at a rate of 275 SF per unit or a half acre (21,780 SF),
whichever is greater. With this project of three hundred and eighty-four (384) units, the Active
Recreation Area requirement calculates to 105,600 SF which is greater than the half-acre (21,780
SF).
The Active Recreation Area proposal for the McKee Road Apartments project is depicted on the
Recreation Plans (Received October 29, 2021) and in a Letter of Request. The proposal is to
provide a “Club House/Pool” area of 12,000 SF near the entrance to the Community, a concrete
Walking Trail throughout the community of 20,275 SF, and a Grass Turf Playing Field of 45,311
SF. The following table provides information from the submitted Plan for the Active Recreation
Area as proposed:

property line that abuts the
railroad tracks which may be of
concern.
Landscaping Landscaping shows increased
tree planting along McKee Road
behind the Club House and Pool
Area and trees along the
walking paths to provide shade.
III. CONSIDERATION OF CASH-IN-LIEU
The applicant has made a request for consideration of Cash-in-lieu of Recreation Area
Construction. Their request seeks to pay cash-in-lieu of construction for the remaining
Recreation Area of 28,014 SF (105,600 SF – 77,586 SF). If the Planning Commission determines
that the construction of some or all of the required Active Recreation Area is not practical or
desirable, then they shall require a full or partial Cash-in-Lieu donation for the portion of the
Active Recreation Area determined as not practical or desirable. The applicant would be required
to make a cash donation to the City’s Parkland Reserve Fund in lieu of the required recreation
area.
Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §10 addresses Open Space, Recreation and Other Public Facilities
outlines the calculation of the amount for cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction.
For the calculation of the amount of the cash donation, the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §10.173
Amount of cash donation specifies that the “cash donation shall be equivalent to the appraised
value of land area required…” and that land area value shall be “based on the appraisal prepared
for the developer to secure construction financing.”

The applicant has not submitted the Appraisal documents as of November 4, 2021.
IV. REVIEW PROCESS
The Planning Office has prepared this Active Recreation Area Report outlining the Recreation
Area proposal and noting the request for Cash-in-lieu donation. The Parks, Recreation and
Community Enhancement Committee will need to consider the proposed Active Recreation Area
and the proposed Cash-in-lieu of Recreation Area payment request and make a recommendation.
The Planning Commission must act to accept the Recreation Area Plan and the Cash-in-lieu
donation as part of its review of the Site Development Plan. If the amount of the Cash-in-Lieu
payment can not be calculated then this will require future review.
The Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee will review the Recreation Area
Plan and the Consideration for the Cash-in-lieu for McKee Road Apartments at their meeting on
November 9, 2021. The Planning Commission Public Hearing and Review of the Site
Development Plan S-21-11 and the Recreation Area Plan/Consideration of Cash-in-lieu is
scheduled for November 15, 2021.

VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are comments and recommendations from Staff of the Planning Office following
review of the Active Recreation Area Plan and Request for Consideration of Cash-in-lieu.
1) Cash-in-Lieu/Area Deficiency: The proposed plan presents three key areas as Active
Recreation Area – the Club House, Concrete Walking Trail, and Turf Playing Field. With
384 units proposed the total required Active Recreation Area is 105,600 SF and what is
proposed is an area of 77,586 SF, a deficit of 28,014 SF (0.64 ac).
a. The deficiency of Active Recreation Area must be satisfied. It is the applicant’s
intent to pay a Cash-in-Lieu Donation for the remainder of the Active Recreation
Area not provided. Other options could be to reduce the unit count or to provide
additional amenities throughout the development.
2) Active Recreation Area: As a residential development there is a requirement for Active

Recreation area. The project proposes a Club House and Pool Area, Concrete Walking Trails,
and a Grass Turf Playing Field. The Plan lacks detail such as a layout for the Club House, or
any additional amenities like landscaping, benches, or dog waste stations. While an extensive
trail is shown throughout the apartment community, the connectivity to the Club House is
very poor only showing sidewalk on the opposite side of the road from the Club House with
no crosswalk in the vicinity of the Club House. No bicycle parking is shown on the plans
near the Club House or apartment buildings.
It is the opinion of the Planning Staff that the current Active Recreation Area Plan
(Received October 29, 2021) does not comply with the purpose statement of Article 5,
Section 10.1 Recreation Areas. (See Excerpt below).
10.1 Recreation areas.
10.11 Purpose. The purpose of this section is to ensure that active recreation areas are
provided as an integral design element within residential developments and that such
facilities are of an adequate scale in relation to the size of the residential development
and which provide residents with a variety of active recreational pursuits.
Additional design information and amenities are necessary to serve a development of this
size (384 apartment units).
Staff Recommends the following regarding this Recreation Area:
a. Club House / Pool: Further development of the Active Recreation Areas at the Club
House and Pool are needed. A floor plan and general use description of the areas
within the Club House are needed. The area for the pool and pool deck should be
called out on the plans and not just in the data column. Specific amenities in this
facility should be identified in order to be evaluated for appropriateness.
b. Concrete Walking Trail: There are additional amenities that could be placed along the
Trail to extend its use. Dog waste stations, benches and physical fitness stations are
all possible additions that would improve the use of the walking trails. Additionally,
Staff recommends the developer to reconsider the use of concrete for the walking
path in environmentally sensitive areas such as through the patch of woods opposite
Buildings 1 and 2.
c. Turf Playing Field: The grass turf playing field would benefit from seating, nets, or a
shade structure for spectators.
d. Bicycle Parking: Bicycle parking should be located inside and around the Apartment
Buildings as well as outside of the Club House/Pool area. The presence of the trail on
the property would suggest that not only would pedestrians use it, but heavy bicycle
use would be common amongst the tenants.
i. Add exterior (outside) bicycle parking specific to the apartment
buildings.
ii. Add other bicycle parking locations on site near the Club
House and Grass Turf Field.
iii. Provide an indoor bike storage area for apartment tenants.

S-21-11: McKee Road Apartments Active Recreation Area Review and Consideration of Cash-in-Lieu
Report to Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee – April 12, 2022
Page 7 of 8
e. Pedestrian Connectivity: Staff notes that the sidewalk system could easily be
extended in several locations to increase pedestrian connectivity for the overall
development.
i. Extension of the sidewalk from south of Building 1 along the
west side of the entrance drive to the Club House would
eliminate the need for pedestrians to cross the entrance drive
multiple times.
ii. Placement of a crosswalk to the right of Building 10 would
complete the loop of the walking trail. A crosswalk at the drive
aisle to get to Buildings 3 and 4 would also assist pedestrians in
getting to the walking trail portion that runs through the
wooded area.
f. Age-Based Amenities: It is unclear what the age group is that these apartments will
be marketed to. There are no amenities for families with young children. If the
apartments were geared towards an older population, one would expect to see
benches along the sidewalks for resting. Even if the development was marketed to
older people there is a good possibility some of them would have grandchildren and
would appreciate a place to take them to play. If this development was geared
towards younger people, one would expect to see additional facilities like a fire pit or
outdoor grilling area where they could gather socially. Opportunities for physical
fitness beyond just the walking trail could be offered such as fitness stations, and
indoor gym facility, etc.
3) Consideration of Cash-in-lieu of Recreation Area Construction: The Commission should
determine how the proposal should best address the requirement for an Active Recreation
Area, which must be at least 275 SF per dwelling unit (275 SF x 384 D.U. = 105,600 SF) as
required by the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant is seeking to instead pay a Cash-in-lieu for
the 28,014 SF deficit of the required Active Recreation Area. Staff recommends additional
amenities to help fulfill the purpose of the Recreation Areas Section of the Zoning
Ordinance.
VII. ADVISORY COMMENTS
1) The Site Development Plan set including any floor plans depicting the Recreational Area in
the Club House are to include appropriate improvements, plans, and details of the Recreation
Area as approved.
2) When a Cash-in-lieu of Active Recreation Area Construction payment amount is determined
and agreed upon, it shall be submitted to the Planning Office prior to the issuance of the
Building Permit for the first Apartment Building. The Cash-in-lieu donation will be
deposited in the City’s Parkland Reserve Fund account.
3) There shall be provisions which ensure that the community space (all areas under
consideration for Active Recreation Areas) shall continue as such and be properly managed
and maintained. The developer shall either retain ownership and responsibility for
maintenance of the common use areas or provide for and establish one (1) or more
organizations for the ownership and maintenance of all common space i.e. a Homeowners

Report to Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee – April 12, 2022
Page 8 of 8
Association. The organization shall be responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes on
the community space.
4) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Plan occur in the finalization of the Plan
contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of buildings, relocation of site
components, changes in floor area or unit count, or design revisions impacting Active
Recreation Areas. These changes may require resubmission for review by the Development
Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making
recommendations in regard to the plan.
5) The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee shall submit to the
Planning Commission a report detailing the recommendations as to the Recreation Area Plan
and Request for Consideration of Cash-in-Lieu.

PLANNING OUR
CLIENTS’ SUCCESS RE: Parks and Recreation / Planning Commission Request
MCKEE ROAD APARTMENTS
Dover, Delaware
2018217.00
Dear Mrs. Bulkilvish:
In response to the Parks and Recreation Committee report received in our office April 5, 2022, we
would like to offer an additional narrative to our previous submission in hopes to clarify some of
the concerns raised in the report. Specifically, item no. 2 within the Staff Recommendations.
Item no. 2 addresses some items which the planning department deems would be beneficial to the
active recreation plan for the development. These items include further development of the
clubhouse and pool, walking trail clarifications, turf field amenities, bicycle parking, pedestrian
connectivity, and lastly age-based amenities. We would like to offer these clarifications to the
plan, addressing the issues one by one.
Club house and Pool Area: As the clubhouse and pool area are still being developed, the owner
has agreed to provide staff with some examples of the developer’s recent clubhouses on other
projects to give staff a visual on the scale and materials of the structure as well as providing an
additional narrative on the clubhouse space and how it would be utilized. The owner’s
representative has agreed to provide these details under a separate cover.
Concrete walking trails: The staff recommendation of provide alternative materials rather than
concrete in the areas closer to the wetland buffers. This idea has previously been discussed
BECKER MORGAN GROUP, INC. among the design team and was intended to be integrated into the construction documents. It is
our intention to utilize a stone dust type trail material in the areas leading up to and away from the
ARCHITECTURE & ENGINEERING
more sensitive areas closer to the wetland buffers. Concrete would be utilized adjacent to drive
309 SOUTH GOVERNORS isles, and in and amongst the buildings farther from the buffered areas. As discussed at the DAC
AVENUE meeting 4/6/2022, providing waste bag dispensers, and benches along the walking trails can
DOVER, DE 19904 certainly be added to the plan and will be placed appropriately. Benches can and will also be
302.734.7950
FAX 302.734.7965
placed in the area of the manicured turf field. The landscape plan will be adjusted to both make
accommodations for the fire access road as discussed with the City Fire Marshal as well as an
PORT EXCHANGE attempt to provide more shade trees on the south side of the field. Additionally, the pedestrian
SUITE 300 connectivity comments with regard to the extension of the sidewalk to the clubhouse and

placement a crosswalk to the right of building 10 can and will be addressed in the plans.
410.546.9100
FAX 410.546.5824 Bicycle Parking facilities are required by code and will be provided on the plan in locations both
convenient to the apartment residents and amenities. Bike facilities will also be located adjacent

to the club house and the playing field. Indoor storage of bicycles can be achieved by the use of
SUITE 211 the storage locker located on each apartment balcony.

WILMINGTON, NC 28403 Shade structures, physical fitness stations and children's playgrounds are not intended to be
910.341.7600
FAX 910.342.7506 included on the plans currently. As the developer is the owner and operator of hundreds of
communities and pride themselves on tenant retention and satisfaction, additional amenities

Item 4.
March 23, 2022

Page 2
would be provided as the market and tenants demanded.
As such, the items listed above do not account for a great deal of additional square footage
beyond what is already accounted for in our calculation for fee in leu.
With the adjustments listed above, the noted deficiencies amount to a possible shade structure,
some exercise station, and a playground. We respectfully request that staff amend its statement in
the report that the plan “does not comply with the purpose statement of Article 5”. While we
understand the request, we would submit that these additional specific amenities mentioned in the
report would be future maintenance issues, as well as possible liability concerns for the
management of the facility.
Please contact me with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
BECKER MORGAN GROUP, INC.
