From: Ann Marie Townshend, AICP
RE: Extension of Rezoning – Lands of Leon & Dorothy Hansen (Z-06-09)
On this evening’s Council agenda, you are considering a request from Ronald Lawhon to extend the
timeframe on the rezoning of property located on the north side of White Oak Road and northeast of the
intersection of White Oak and Halsey Road. On September 11, 2006, City Council rezoned this land from C-
PO (Commercial and Professional Office Development District) to IO (Institutional and Office Zone).
According to Article 10, Section 5 of the Zoning Ordinance, because a year has passed and no construction
has commenced, Council is supposed to reconsider the zoning classification through an amendment to rezone
the land to its previous classification unless certain conditions are met. In this circumstance, the applicant is
providing an explanation of why construction has not commenced. If Council finds this explanation
satisfactory, the land may remain in the IO (Institutional and Office Zone) classification. If not, an
amendment must be brought forward and public hearings set before Planning Commission and City Council
to rezone the land to the C-PO (Commercial and Professional Office Development District).
To refresh your memories on this rezoning application, I’ve included a copy of the report to Council from last
year, as well as a location map of the property. Also, below is the language from Article 10 of the Zoning
Ordinance that addresses this situation.
As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.
5.183[Rezoning to prior classification.] In all cases where the city council
shall approve an amendment to the zoning map because of a request for
new construction of buildings or structures on the rezoned land or where
new construction is required to carry out the new use on the rezoned land,
the city council shall reconsider the zoning classification by having an
amendment to rezone the land to its prior classification be automatically
placed on the agenda by the city clerk, unless, within one year from the
effective date of the amendment to the zoning map, one of the following
conditions is met:
a. New construction is started on the rezoned land according to
the request for the amendment and such construction is proceeding
in a normal and reasonable manner toward completion; or

MEMO 2
b. City council is given a satisfactory explanation for the failure to
commence construction and reasonable written assurance that
construction will commence soon after passage of the one-year
period and will proceed in a normal and reasonable manner toward
completion; or
c. The current zoning is in conformance with the current
comprehensive plan and its prior zone was not conforming with the
current comprehensive plan.

SECOND AMENDMENT
to the
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
for the
DOVER GENERATION FACILITIES
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT to the Operation and Maintenance Agreement (“the Agreement”) is
entered into this ____ day of July 2007, by and between City of Dover, Delaware (the “Owner”), a Delaware
municipality, with offices located at 15 Loockerman St., Dover, Delaware 19901, and NORTH AMERICAN
ENERGY SERVICES COMPANY (the “Operator”), a Washington corporation, with offices located at 1180
NW Maple Street, Suite 200, Issaquah, WA 98027.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Owner and Operator desire to amend their Agreement, dated May 4, 2006, and previously
amended on July 10, 2006;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, and of the mutual covenants and promises set
forth below, the parties hereby agree to the following amendments to the Agreement:
1. Amendments.
Section B(3)(A) of Appendix B to the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
A. Commercial Unavailability (CU) [$80,000 potential]
a. The CU shall be calculated for each Operating Year collectively for all units (currently
McKee Run Units 1-3 and VanSant).
b. Only those forced outage events recognized and tracked by the PJM will be included in the
CU calculation.
c. The target CU is 2.25%.
d. If the calculated CU is greater than 2.25% then Operator is not eligible for CU bonus.
e. If the calculated CU is less than the target CU of 2.25%, then Operator is eligible to earn a
CU bonus up to $80,000 for a CU of 0%.
f. For any CU that falls between 2.25% and 0%, the CU shall be calculated and rounded to the
nearest hundredth of a percent, and the bonus interpolated on a straight-line basis.
g. Commercial Unavailability shall be calculated using the following equation:
CU = {(FOU1 + EU1)*(17MW) + (FOU2 + EU2)*(17 MW) + (FOU3 + EU3)*(102MW) + (FOU11
+ EU11)*(39MW)} / (8760HRS1)(175MW)
1
Adjusted to 8784 for leap years.
Where:
U1 = Unit 1 of McKee Run U2 = Unit 2 of McKee Run
U3 = Unit 3 of McKee Run U11 = VanSant 11
FO = Forced Outages (in Hours)
Page 4
E = Equivalent De-rate (in Hours) = (Number of MW that the unit is de-rated multiplied by the
duration in hours of de-rating) / Unit normal capacity in MW)
If an outage event of significant duration is extended due to a cause beyond the control or without the fault of
Operator, Operator may ask the Dover Management Committee, as established in Article IV of the agreement
between Owner and Asset Manager, for a decision as to whether any outage hours may be excluded from the
CU calculation.
Notwithstanding the above formula, the parties agree that for the first Operating Year, ending June 30, 2007,
Operator shall be entitled to a CU bonus of sixty thousand dollars ($60,000).
2. Effective Date. This Amendment shall be effective July 1, 2007.
3. Other Provisions. All other provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If there is any
conflict between those provisions and this Amendment, the provisions of the Agreement shall be read so as to
give effect to the intent of the parties as manifest in this Amendment.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment to the Agreement through their
duly authorized officers as of the date set forth in the preamble to this Amendment.
