Tax Parcel #: ED-00-077.17-01-16.00-000 Application Date: March 3, 2006 County Zoning: BG (General Business). Proposed Zoning: C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone). Present Use: Storage Proposed Use: Office/Retail Comprehensive Plan Designation: Category 1 - Lands Identified for Annexation, Commercial Use Designation Utility Availability: Property is currently receiving water and electricity from the City. Sewer is available. Cost-Rev Analysis: The Cost-Revenue analysis showed a positive cash flow to the City of approximately $5,650 over ten years. File Number: AX-06-03

On April 17, 2006, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the annexation with the proposed C-1A zoning. Surrounding Land Uses: To the west, there are residential parcels which front Bradford Street. Two are zoned R-8 in the City, and two are zoned RM (Multifamily Residential) in Kent County. The land to the southwest is zoned C-2A in the City and is medical offices. The adjacent property to the north is an automobile service center, and the adjacent property to the south is a residence. The neighboring properties along State Street are zoned BG (General Business) in Kent County. The third parcel north of the subject parcel is the gas station located at Wyoming Avenue and State Street, zoned C-3. East of the subject parcel, across State Street, is a Happy Harry’s, zoned C-4 and Carroll’s Corner Shopping Center, zoned SC-2. Comprehensive Plan: The Annexation and Growth Map contained within the current certified Comprehensive Plan designates this land as Category #1 – Lands Identified for Annexation, and designates the land for Commercial Use. Cost-Revenue Analysis: The Cost-Revenue analysis showed a positive cash flow to the City of approximately $5,650 over ten years. Other Considerations: This parcel is one of several parcels comprising an enclave in the City. It is currently receiving water and electricity from the City of Dover. Recommendation of the Planning Staff: Because this is a Category 1 designated area in the Comprehensive Plan, and because the planned use is in accordance with the uses prescribed in the Comprehensive Plan staff recommends approval. This recommendation is being made without the benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding land owners and residents. A public hearing is required on this matter and those comments should be given serious consideration by the Commission.

Dover Public Library The mission of the Dover Public Library is to meet the educational, recreational, and cultural needs of a diverse population through library collections and library services with a well- trained staff available to promote library Dover Public Library Staff resources and to assist with their use.

Library Value “The move of the library into a modern, technology adaptable library located in the core area of Dover would be a significant landmark for downtown Dover. It would greatly enhance the downtown area and be a destination location for Dover and neighboring residents. Because the library would attract many users on a daily basis it would increase activity in the downtown area and support the City of Dover Comprehensive Plan. As library services develops in Kent County, it is anticipated that the Dover Public Library would play a larger and larger regional role and both the new building and any possible addition should support that possibility.” City of Dover Library Facilities Plan, Robert H.
