CITY OF DOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION May 19, 2022 The Meeting of the City of Dover Historic District Commission was held on Thursday, May 19, 2022, at 3:30 PM virtually using the videoconferencing system WebEx with Chairman Czerwinski presiding. Members present were Mr. Street and Mrs. Mason. Ms. Horsey was absent. (Note: The fifth Historic District Commission member has not been appointed following the completion of the term of Mr. McDaniel in 2020). Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that the meeting was moved to a fully Virtual format today due to a Limited State of Emergency that the Mayor proclaimed related to the COVID-19 impacts with City Staffing and City Buildings. Planning Office Staff members present were Mrs. Melson-Williams and Mr. Swierczek. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Ms. Mason moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Street and the motion was unanimously carried 3-0. Roll Call Vote • Ms. Horsey -Absent • Ms. Mason - Yes • Mr. Street – Yes • Mr. Czerwinski - Yes ADOPTION OF MINUTES OF THE REGULAR HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2022 Mr. Street moved for approval of the Meeting Minutes of April 21, 2022, seconded by Ms. Mason and the motion was unanimously carried 3-0. Roll Call Vote • Ms. Horsey -Absent • Ms. Mason - Yes • Mr. Street – Yes • Mr. Czerwinski - Yes COMMUNICATIONS & REPORTS Summary of Applications for 2021 and 2022 Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that you will be looking at your 4th and 5th Applications of the year today. Most significantly, the Application that you looked at last month for the New Kent County Family Courthouse and Parking Garage project, that recommendation was forwarded to Planning Commission. Unfortunately, the Planning Commission meeting of Monday evening was postponed until June 21, 2022. At that meeting, the Planning Commission will be considering the

CITY OF DOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION MAY 19, 2022 Site Plan and the Architectural Review Certification for the Courthouse and Parking Garage project. The other items related to Applications in 2022 was the fence at 506 S. State Street that has been installed and the associated Rezoning into the Historic District Zone for the Courthouse that has been fully approved. In 2021, we had a series of six (6) applications throughout the calendar year and most of them have made some progress towards either completion or getting started. The last one of the calendar years was the drainage improvements at the Peoples Church; that project is underway. Summary of Architectural Review Certifications for 2022 Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is the listing of Building Permit activity within the boundary of the Historic District. There has been a total of ten (10) applications through the end of April. Six (6) of them required Architectural Review Certification. Of those ten, there were two that the Historic District Commission was involved in: the fence at 506 S. State Street and the drainage project at the Peoples Church property at 46 S Bradford Street. There were four (4) building interiors and a mix of fences, sheds, sign, and some administrative type Permits. Department of Planning & Inspections Update Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that she believed they have started interviews for the Planning Director position. There were some recent code changes in how the reporting of that position will occur. It is now a part of the City Code that the City Planner will report to the City Manager. The hiring process includes the City Manager with Council confirming the selection; and the Code now makes it clear that the City Planner is the Director of the Department of Planning and Inspections. It cleared up some of the difficulties in the Code that led to some difficulties in managing when the City Planner was reporting to City Council rather than directly to the City Manager like pretty much every department head except for the Chief of Police. As previously mentioned, there was a Limited Declaration of Emergency that the Mayor for Dover issued. It was declared as of noon today “due to the public health threat and in the best interest of the general public staff and their families, city facilities will be closed on Friday, May 20th and on Monday, May 23rd due to an increased number of positive COVID-19 cases among staff. Masks are highly encouraged for everyone, school age and above, who enter city owned facilities effective tomorrow until further notice.” Sanitation, Electric and other Divisions will still be staffed. As mentioned, they will still be collecting trash and recycling operations for the City. The City Buildings are what is closed to the public on Friday and Monday; that meaning City Hall and the customer service facility that's located at Weyant Hall or the building at 5 East Reed Street. The library will be closed Friday through Monday, as well as the Pitts Recreation Center itself. The Mayor made that declaration and we have also moved to make all the public meetings a virtual format. The Planning Office has been conducting all our boards and commissions in this hybrid format anyway, so even when we had the In-Person opportunity, we also had that Virtual Meeting set up as well. We could easily pivot this afternoon to a fully virtual scenario for the projects to be continued to be reviewed this afternoon here with the Historic District Commission. Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that included in the packet was information about a Public Workshop that was held earlier this week on the Dover Air Force Base Compatible Use Study. There is a project website that is identified on that sheet as well. This is a study that is looking at 2

CITY OF DOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION MAY 19, 2022 the immediate environs of Dover Air Force Base. Basically, a five-mile area surrounding the Base and looking at the uses that are currently there and how we may better guide future use in those areas to ensure the continued existence and compatibility with the Air Force Base and its operations. There are a number of committees that are part of this study. The City is part of the Policy Committee and, the Technical Committee. They have been gathering a significant amount of data and Wednesday nights workshop was really a way to introduce the public to the study and the wealth of data that they are gathering. There will be more outreach opportunities as the study continues. This is a study that is funded by the Department of Defense. However, it is a joint effort of a number of agencies and consultants that make up the consultant team which includes DelDOT (the State Department of Transportation), staff at Century Engineering and the University of Delaware's Institute for Public Administration. If you have any interest, please take a look at this. They will have a very dynamic map viewing system that will be part of the project website where you can turn on various layers of information from land use and zoning to environmental concerns, limited information about base operations, and the like. This project is just getting started. There will be more workshops in the Fall as they look at some specific areas around the base and how to plan for their future. The other study is the Strategic Master Plan for Downtown Dover that is still underway. Mosaic Development Partners and their team have been doing a number of stakeholder meetings. This is a Master Plan that the Downtown Dover Partnership had being the lead agency. There is a survey that is out on the street at this point asking questions again that are focused on the Downtown area and people’s vision for what it is and what it could be and any excellent ideas for opportunities here in the Downtown area. Visit the website for the Downtown Dover Partnership. There is a link to their project and the project survey. Ms. Mason mentioned that she took the survey and she highly recommend that the other members take it as well. It is very interesting and informative. Mrs. Melson-Williams thanked Ms. Mason for participating. Ms. Mason replied you are welcome. Updates on Studies Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that included in your packet was information about a Public Workshop that was held earlier this week on the Dover Air Force Base Compatible Use Study. There is a Project Website that is identified on that sheet as well to find out more information about the Compatible Use Study. This study looks at the immediate environs of the Dover Air Force Base. The City is part of the Policy Committee and the Technical Committee. They have been gathering a significant amount of data and Wednesday night’s Workshop was really a way to introduce the public to the Study and the wealth of data that they're gathering. There will be more outreach opportunities as the study continues. The Study is funded by the Department of Defense. However, it is a joint effort of a number of agencies and consultants that make up the consultant team which includes DelDOT and the Department of Transportation, Staff at Century Engineering, and the University of Delaware's Institute for Public Administration. They will have a very dynamic map viewing system that will be part of the project website where you can turn on various layers of information such as Land Use and Zoning to environmental concerns, 3

CITY OF DOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION MAY 19, 2022 and limited information about base operations. This is a project that is just getting started. They will be more workshops in the fall as they look at some specific areas around the base and how to plan for their future. The other study that I want to also highlight for you is that the Strategic Master Plan for Downtown Dover is still underway. The Mosaic Development Partners and their team have been doing a number of stakeholder meetings and this is a master plan that the Downtown Dover partnership had. Review of Permits Referred to Commission HI-22-04 Referral of Permit #22-661 at 527-529 South State Street Mrs. Melson-Williams gave a summary of Application HI-22-04. The applicant is requesting a Recommendation on Architectural Review Certification for construction of seven (7) parking spaces for the property. The property is zoned RGO (General Residence & Office Zone) and subject to the H (Historic District Zone) and SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone). The property is located at the northeast corner of S. State Street and Elm Terrace. Representatives: Justin Duffy Mrs. Melson-Williams presented information on the Permit and the proposed project. Mr. Justin Duffy thanked Mrs. Melson-Williams for the summary of the Application as it helps him get a better idea of the parameters for having this parking space area. This building is a tri- plex that is currently tenant occupied. We are transitioning the use of the building to be utilized for medical students and residents that are going be at Bayhealth Hospital for their residency. There will probably be about eight (8) residents staying at the location at once. Ideally, I would like to try to get 6 to 7 parking spaces sufficiently placed in the backyard area. The backyard is large so there is room if designed appropriately for two rows of parking either on the left side as it relates to the picture or on the right side. I completely agree with the addition to kind of create a landscape screen for that. I will talk to my landscaper so that he can draw up a plan for that as well. We are going to be doing some tree excavations with the existing trees that are there and we could plant new trees. So from State Street, the attention will not be on the cars parking but you will see the trees first. For the persons that are coming down Elm Street, we could put shrubs to the side and flowerpots in the front to indicate in the alleyway where the cars are to stop. Mrs. Melson-Williams asked if there was a difference in the two images that were sent today? Mr. Duffy replied that with this new rendering, we would have a second row of parking spaces instead of having all seven of them stacked right in front of the alleyway. We would have a second row. Then we could also with the idea of those trees being newly planted, we could move the cars over to where the trees are proposed and then move the trees over to the other side. So, this way the trees will be viewable by State Street instead of behind the building. 4

CITY OF DOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION MAY 19, 2022 Mr. Duffy asked Mrs. Melson-Williams if that made sense. Mrs. Melson-Williams replied that the Revised Plan continues to show four spaces as basically pulling directly off the alley. It gives some space from the north property line. So, there's an opportunity there for screening. The other three spaces are where you would come in off the alley, beside the 4th vehicle parking space, but then continue past to an area where three spaces would be established. It almost looks “L” shaped in what it would mean for a paving scenario. Again, it maintains an area gap for landscape planting perhaps along the property line that it shares with Elm Terrace. It still gains the seven spaces, but it recognizes the opportunities for that landscape screening to happen. Mr. Duffy replied yes, that is correct. The other alternative would be to remove parking spaces five, six and seven to where it is currently saying that the newly replanted trees would be to remove the parking spaces there and then move the trees over to where the parking spaces are currently indicated. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the double stacking would happen on the northern portion of the lot rather than the area closer to Elm Terrace. Mr. Duffy replied yes, that is correct. This will allow us to get the trees on the Elm Terrace side. Mr. Street stated that he did not really have any questions. He thanked Mr. Duffy for bringing the information to the Historic District Commission. Ms. Mason stated that she thought it looks nice. She was a little unclear about the parking spaces, but she wanted to understand having them more on the north side and having more trees and shrubs and things on Elm Terrace. She thinks it is a great idea and it is nice. It is a nice use for that building to be able to have people from the hospital to stay there. She fully approves of it. Mr. Street stated that six or seven spaces coming directly off the alley is less intrusive. If you can provide some screening on Elm Terrace that is great. He did not know if they could dictate the screening and what you need to screen. He knows the City's Code speaks to it. Visually, it is a little bit easier to look at because it is just some additional paving off that alley. He mentioned he knows that alley well. He feels like another 20 feet of paving on top of what is already there is easier to deal with than providing some kind of random mismatch of a parking lot. I have no problem with it if they can provide some screening, that is great, but it is fine. Mr. Czerwinski stated that he agreed with Mr. Street comments. What is odd about this layout is that staff recommended only 6 parking spaces be constructed. He asked Mr. Duffy if he was supposed to have up to nine (9) residents for this property? Mr. Duffy replied up to eight (8). Mr. Czerwinski stated that Mr. Duffy would still not have enough parking spaces for everyone with this layout. My recommendation is that I kind of agree with Mr. Street that you have to remember that this property is zoned as residential/office. When you start putting a parking lot into this, it becomes more commercial. We have had this with a couple of different other areas that are tied into residential areas. You must remember that right behind you is residential. 5

CITY OF DOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION MAY 19, 2022 Mr. Czerwinski was not sure how many parking spaces you need to have before you must have lighting for parking. Is there a zone requirement? Mrs. Melson-Williams replied ten (10). There is probably street lighting along Elm Terrace. She was not sure where the closest street light pole is in that area. Mr. Czerwinski if there was parking on the street as well? Mrs. Melson-Williams replied on Elm Terrace it is a narrow street. I think parking is limited to one side of the street. Mr. Czerwinski stated that this does not solve your parking issue per say. You are only adding one space by adding a lot more asphalt to the property. I would prefer a single row along the alleyway screened by bushes, it would be the best alternative here. You start covering up that lot as a parking lot. Now you have this looking something a little bit more like commercial parking than residential. That's his opinion. He thinks that they should go with the six (6) personally. This was recommended by Staff. Staff recommendations are pretty spot on with their assessments. He thinks when you start going into seven (7), you are going to end up having to cover that whole parking or the whole lot with one big parking area because you still do not have enough for residents without additional paving. Mr. Duffy replied okay and much appreciated. He asked if the recommendation would be for the single row and limited to six parking spaces and to do the landscape screening. Mr. Czerwinski asked Mr. Street if that was his assessment as well. Mr. Street replied yes, he was fine with that. I mean, we are talking six (6) or seven (7) spaces. He is not providing enough for one for each unit but there is on street parking. If Mr. Duffy is okay with six (6), he does not have an opinion either way. It is another 163 square feet of paving that he saved. It just provides a little bit extra space. So, I am fine with the Staff Report if Mr. Duffy is okay with the Staff Report. Mr. Czerwinski asked Ms. Mason for her thoughts. Ms. Mason replied that she felt the same way as Mr. Street. You would want to have six (6) and not seven (7) especially with the shrubbery and everything, she thinks it is good. Because I live on The Green, I know that you automatically get a residential sticker. Although you may have a guest(s), it still should work out okay. Guests could park on the street if needed. She asked if that made sense. Mr. Duffy asked what the residential sticker was as he was not familiar. Ms. Mason replied if you live in a neighborhood and she thinks Elm Terrace as well, if you have the sticker, you can park at any time. If you do not have a sticker, in other words, if a guest comes to visit and now you take a parking space, they can get a ticket if they do not live there. So, if you have six, seven or eight people who live there, they could probably (and maybe Mrs. Melson-Williams knows more than I do) get a residential sticker also and be able to park on the street. 6

CITY OF DOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION MAY 19, 2022 Mr. Street stated that the stickers are parking permits. It allows you to park on street. Most places in the City are a two-hour parking limit. That sticker basically negates that two-hour limit for the residents. Mr. Duffy asked who administers the parking permit (sticker). Mrs. Melson-Williams replied she believes that is issued through our Customer Service Department and it is based on property location. With it being basically three units there, she was not sure of the number of parking stickers the property would qualify for. That is something that you could certainly look into so that it could be issued to a certain number of your tenants to allow for that parking. She was not sure if Elm Terrace has time limitations on it. A lot of areas in our Downtown core have a 2-hour parking limitation that is put in place so that people that work do not necessarily take up the parking all day if that is the only parking that is for residences in that area. It is certainly something to look into for that property. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated if the Historic District Commission wants to put together a motion with your recommendations, she thinks that would help clarify what your intentions are, and thoughts are with this Permit for a parking area. Ms. Mason moved for approval of a Review of Architectural Review Certification for Permit #22-661 for construction of six parking spaces with landscape screening of the parking area and no curbs required at 527-529 South State Street as submitted to include Staff recommendations. The motion was seconded by Mr. Street and approved 3-0. Roll Call Vote Ms. Mason - Yes Mr. Street - Yes Mr. Czerwinski - Yes Architectural Review Certification Consultation HI-22-05 Delaware Public Archives: Consultation on Roof Project - Architectural Review Certification Consultation on materials regarding a Roof Project at the Delaware Public Archives building. The property is zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) and subject to the H (Historic District Zone) and the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone). The property is located on the north side of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard North in the block bounded by Legislative Avenue and East Loockerman Street. The owner of record is State of Delaware. The property address is 121 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard North. Tax Parcel: ED-05-077.09-05-13.00-000. Council District 4. Mrs. Melson-Williams gave a summary and presentation of Application HI-22-05. She mentioned that this building addition, while built in the Historic District, is not considered a historic roof at this point. It has not reached 50 years old. It was constructed with a standing seam metal roof and that has become problematic over the years. 7

CITY OF DOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION MAY 19, 2022 Representatives: Mr. Paul Guggenberger, Studio JAED; Ashley Stanley, State of Delaware Mr. Guggenberger stated that the Archives staff has been dealing with roof leaks for essentially the full life of this building for 20 years. They have portions of their largest archive floor, the top floor, that they have not been able to use that have book stacks that are covered with tarps. It has just been a struggle for them. Even though this standing seam roof is really just 10 years old, they are looking to replace it at this time to resolve those roof leaks. The largest portion of the roof you cannot see from the street here is a low slope roof that is 1/4 inch and twelve pitch. The standing seam roof is on that area as well the steeper sloped areas. Our proposal is to remove the standing seam roof in the flat area in the center. Apply a single-ply membrane most likely a TPO roof, (a white roof), and then on the sloped portion of the roof that you can see from the streets and sidewalks we wanted to talk with you about proposed materials for that area. We have looked at three alternatives: one is architectural grade asphalt shingle roof that gives at least a nominal lifetime warranty that is obviously relatively simple to install with conventional detailing and long history of working. The second option would be a synthetic slate shingle which again is a more traditional steep sloped roof. There is precedent in the Historic District for use of that type of shingle. It was just installed across the street from the City Hall on the Townsend Building and the War Building which is the little building that sits between Townsend and Archives. The third option is a standing seam metal roof to replace in kind which is frankly the least favorite because that has been the source of the problems so far. But we wanted to review those options with you to see whether you had preferences or directions and which way we should proceed with the project. Mr. Street asked a question regarding the membrane versus shingles for the flatter roof. In your opinion because of the slope of the roof would it make more sense to do the membrane? What are you recommending as the Design Professional and what is the problem? Mr. Guggenberger replied if you could flip back to that third slide that just shows the series of pictures you can see the flat roof there as standing seam on it and then the top right picture has an EPDM membrane overlaid on the standing seam just to try to keep the water out. Our proposal is the right solution and that it is going to be a flat roof material a single-ply membrane TPO EPDM or you know an asphaltic built-up roof. Our intent is to use likely a TPO membrane roof on that surface. It is something that is proven for a low slope roof. You cannot see it from the street, so we do not feel that it would be an issue in the Historic District. Our intent is for that at the flat portion. It is really for us the question of when that roof turns from flat to steep slope, as you can see in the middle-left picture, is what goes on that steep slope portion. Mr. Street mentioned that this is not a Historic Building, but it is in the Historic District. The current roof is standing seam on the steep part. So, I guess the question from Staff to the members is do we want to see something other than asphalt shingles. I would even say you can use architectural style shingles. They are not just the standard asphalt shingle, square asphalt shingle or rectangular asphalt shingle. It has a little bit more textured and a little bit more variability in the design. Mr. Guggenberger replied right and that would be Slide 4. We would propose that you know they call it a higher-grade shingle, but it is significantly thicker than your three-tab shingles; and, they do give it a “lifetime” warranty. 8

CITY OF DOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION MAY 19, 2022 Lifetime is in quotes because it is a good warranty, and it is a fuller proof system than what is on there now. Mr. Street stated that he did not have any problem with the membrane on the flatter style then moving to something with a more traditional shingle like we are seeing here. Are you proposing just a gray like a Pewter Gray? Mr. Guggenberger replied right. There are several gray options just that is the one we selected. Honestly, we would be happy to bring the physical samples in to you guys. At this point we would really like to know how to proceed with the drawings before we go too far. Mr. Street mentioned that he did not know that he had any comments on color. He thinks the gray is fine. I think if you came up with some other kind of color it might be a little different, but it is a gray roof now. If you are good putting something out there that is a little bit more substantial than what is already there. Ms. Mason stated that she was not a great expert on a roof. If this is flat roofs, they are really hard because that is what we have on our house, and they are just impossible to maintain. Are you just going to replace just the flat roof and not the rest of the shingles? Will it be just the flat roof or the whole thing? Mr. Guggenberger replied we are not touching the more Historic Building that is on the Legislative Hall side which has Terra cotta shingles on it; we are not touching that at all. Everything that you see that is a standing seam metal roof, we want to take all of that off and replace it. Ms. Mason replied okay. She did not know which one to pick but I think unfortunately I am just on my phone, and I cannot see. I am looking at the gray shingles and she thinks they look good. She thinks they just have to do whatever is best that will last longer. Although, you will not be able to see it because it is a flat roof. Mr. Street asked if this was an actual application to the Historic District Commission? It sounds like they are in the house, and they are thinking about it process and trying to figure out which way to go. The applicant wants to do some type of membrane and then at the asphalt shingles on the sloped part of the roof. Are we approving that changing of material or approving the request? Mrs. Melson-Williams replied in general yes. Given the flat roof that one is not visible. They could easily change that material out because it is not visible. But the standing seam areas for the steep slope, the change going from the standing seam that is there to something other than that she felt would need the input of the Historic District Commission. It is certainly easier for them to come present the options before they do detailed drawings about how they need to make this roof system work for the replacement. She suggested they go ahead and get the Application in front of the Historic District Commission so when your Building Permit comes in with the selected option it coincides with what the Historic District Commission would say. When that other Permit walked in, we referred it to you. This is kind of ahead of the game help them out in 9

CITY OF DOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION MAY 19, 2022 making the ultimate decision. If it is standing seam, do you have to go back with standing seam or can you consider one of these other two options: the synthetic slate appearance that been utilized or to allow for the architectural asphalt shingle. She thinks you are well within your reasons to go with the new material on these slope roofs. We tried to do a quick look to see if there was any reason why standing scene was it to begin with and we were not really finding that. There are certainly examples in the Capitol Complex there of using the synthetic slate. She thinks this building has got a lot going on with its roof to say the least with all the various angles. If leakage has been a consistent problem, then perhaps using the material that is most friendly for dealing with all of those transitions is the appropriate thing to consider. She thinks given the height of it you are probably not really going to be able to tell that it is an asphalt shingle roof; it is just going to look like a gray shingle. It is not going to be able to be truly visibly as to what it is at that location from your view from the street. Today she called it a Consultation because we did not have a formal filing but felt it was appropriate to kind of bring that to you ahead of the game to help them out in making some of their decisions moving forward with their application ultimately. Chairman Czerwinski mentioned that he did walk around Downtown looking at different types of buildings with his wife and we do have a mixed batch of the slate. We do have some architectural shingle and the metal roofing and everything else down there. Ultimately, it comes down to you want something that is going to last; and, in this case, this is that historic building. It is a building that was built about 20 years ago. He does not see any reason why in all practicality not to use architectural shingles. The architectural shingles I know as I just had my roof redone and a lot of them are warranted up to 50 years now. As he really likes the slate look, he does not think that those slates can last you any decent amount of time. He would think that as a group we could recommend it. Use your best judgement. He thinks the architectural shingles are probably your best bet in my opinion for practicality and let's look at the cost. He is sure those full slate tiles are quite expensive versus architectural shingling. He would think that you guys probably would want to go with architectural shingles. I'm not sure about the coloring. He thinks the coloring should be a little bit darker to match with the other buildings around it, so you do not have this hodgepodge patchy look but different rooftops. He thinks that you are going in the right direction. He thinks the architectural shingles are the way to go. He thinks that everybody else would agree that is the best way to go. We could recommend the use of architectural shingles as a cost effective and long-term solution to the roofing that still has a decent and a very good look to it. Mr. Street moved for approval that they accept the Architectural Certification for the new roof as submitted unless they want to change materials drastically to allow using some type of membrane for the flat roof and then switching to a more architectural style shingle for the steeper slope roofs. Mr. Guggenberger asked before there is a vote on the motion he asked if Facilities Management decides to let the occupant in the Archives building choose this material would it be acceptable for the Commission to move that we can use architectural shingles or synthetic slate. 10

CITY OF DOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION MAY 19, 2022 Mr. Street replied yes, he did not have a problem with it. It is a color. The synthetic slate at least gives that look, but I do not know that I have a problem. He asked the other members if they had any issues with it. The other members did not have any issues. Chairman Czerwinski mentioned that any of the three would be acceptable. Mr. Street moved to amend the motion for approval that they accept the Architectural Review Certification HI-22-05 for the new roof as submitted with materials and color using some type of membrane for the flat roof and then switching to a more architectural style shingle for the steeper slope roofs for the building. We would be acceptable of any of the three options depending on what is ultimately chosen. The motion was seconded by Ms. Mason. Roll Call Vote Mr. Street- I Ms. Mason -I Mr. Czerwinski -I OLD BUSINESS Certified Local Government (CLG) Program Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that there were no updates. Implementation of 2019 Comprehensive Plan Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that there were no updates. She mentioned that the two studies are ongoing that could potentially bring implementation strategies that could result in changes to code or zoning. There are certainly other City Departments that have a number of studies and implementation projects underway because it is all part of the vision for the City of Dover. There is an electronic City Newsletter that you can sign up to receive to find out about things going on in the City.
