Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 The Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Tuesday, June 20, 2023 at 7:00 PM as an In-Person Meeting and also using the phone/videoconferencing system WebEx. The Meeting Session was conducted with Chair Mrs. Maucher presiding. Members present were Mr. Roach (virtual), Mrs. Denney, Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Welsh (virtual), Mrs. Malone (virtual), and Mrs. Maucher. Mr. Cooper, Mr. Baldwin and Dr. Jones were absent. Staff members present were Mrs. Mary Ellen Gray, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Julian Swierczek, Ms. Katherine Oehmke, Mr. Jason Lyon and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney. Mr. Glenn Mandalas was present serving as legal counsel for the Planning Commission. Also present were Mr. Alan Hill and Mr. Michael Scali. Speaking from the public were Ms. Annette Mathis, Ms. Rachael Rigliano, Mr. Joseph Blake, Mr. Dwight Chandler, and Ms. Cynthia Wentworth. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Mrs. Maucher stated that Conditional Use Application C-23-02 The Hive: Business and Event Center at 28 W. Loockerman Street will not be heard by the Planning Commission this evening due to incomplete public notice. Application C-23-02 will be rescheduled for a future Planning Commission Meeting and will be subject to Public Notice requirements for a new meeting date. Mr. Hartman stated that regarding the agenda, before they start on that he would like to ask Planning Staff if they have received any documentation between the parties (referencing application S-23-06). Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Maucher stated that they can address that when we get to that application. Mr. Hartman stated that this is part of the agenda. If we have not received the documentation that they required at the April 17, 2023 meeting, then he would move that the first item be removed from the Agenda. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Mandalas stated that he thinks it is a valid point. If there is a flaw with the item and it can’t go forward, now is the time to remove it from the Agenda. When the Planning Commission retained him as Counsel on this matter, he did review the record and he did understand that at the last meeting it was continued until the parties would have an opportunity to confer. They have confirmed with him that they have conferred telephonically. He asked them to each provide written reports to him so that he could have an understanding about what they have conferred about and whether any material progress on resolving any of the outstanding issues have been made. Those reports have indicated that there has not been any sort of material advancement at least as to the ownership of Raymond (Street). That reason alone, he does not think is reason enough to defer or continue the item any further. He will be able to explain that a little more when we get to that agenda item, but they have met and conferred. Mrs. Denney moved to approve the Agenda as submitted, seconded by Mrs. Welsh and the motion was carried 5-1 with Mr. Hartman voting no and Mr. Cooper, Mr. Baldwin and Dr. Jones absent. 1 4

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES OF MAY 15, 2023 Mrs. Malone moved to approve the Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 15, 2023, seconded by Mrs. Welsh and the motion was unanimously carried 6-0 with Mr. Cooper, Mr. Baldwin and Dr. Jones absent. COMMUNICATIONS & REPORTS Mrs. Gray provided an update on the regular City Council and various Committee meetings held on May 22 & 23, 2023 and June 12 & 13, 2023. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the next Planning Commission regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, July 17, 2023, at 7:00PM in the City Hall Council Chambers. There have been new applications that have been filed and we will be processing for that meeting. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the Planning & Inspections Department has no particular updates other than there are a lot of different special events in the City of Dover. From ComiCon that was this past weekend and then the Positively Dover African American Festival coming up next week. Take a look at what’s happening in your community. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that for the Planning Commission, we have alerted you to an education and training opportunity. It is called “Land Use Law, FOIA & Ethics Training Session” that is scheduled for Tuesday, June 27, 2023 at 6PM in City Council Chambers. This is organized in part by City Council, but they have extended the invitation to other boards and commissions. That Training Session will be led by Mr. Max Walton who is a land use attorney in the State of Delaware that works with a number of municipalities and also is a fellow at the University of Delaware as part of their Institute for Public Administration.

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 Patel College Properties, LLC and Patel Excess College Road, LLC. Tax Parcels: ED-05-067.00- 02-53.00-000, ED-05-067.00-02-54.00-000, ED-05-067.00-02-55.00-000, and ED-05-067.00- 02-56.00-000. Council District 4. Waiver Requests: Reduction of Parking Requirement. Consideration of Active Recreation Area Plan. The Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing and began review of this application at their March 20, 2023 Meeting and deferred action seeking additional information. The Planning Commission continued review of this application at their April 17, 2023 and deferred action until the June 2023 Meeting seeking additional information. Mrs. Maucher stated that starting with item S-23-06 where action was deferred at the March 20, 2023 and April 17, 2023 meetings. First, we need a motion to continue its review. Mrs. Denney moved to continue the review of application S-23-06 College Road Apartments at Railroad Avenue/Grove Street. They had asked for some information and she thinks that they would be remiss if they did not allow at least the representative of the application to come forward and update us with any new information, seconded by Malone and the motion was carried 5-1 with Mr. Hartman voting no and Mr. Cooper, Mr. Baldwin and Dr. Jones absent. Mrs. Maucher stated that she would first refer to legal counsel, Mr. Glenn Mandalas for any guidance on this application and then she will refer to Planning Staff, Mrs. Dawn Melson- Williams and Mrs. Mary Ellen Gray for a reminder briefing on this Site Development Application. Mr. Mandalas stated that he does see some familiar faces in the room and others may not know me. My name is Glenn Mandalas and I am an attorney with Baird Mandalas Brockstedt and Federico. Our first office was opened here in Dover and we currently have offices throughout the State and in Maryland. Here in Dover, our office is at the corner of State and Division Streets. I have represented municipalities for more than 15 years, and in that time I have seen many contentious applications move through the application review and approval process. The job of a member of the Planning Commission is not an easy one, especially when an application is controversial. It can make a member question why they ever joined the Commission in the first place. And rarely are these public servants given the thanks they deserve for the long hours they spend both outside of the meeting and during the meetings. As we move into this application, I would ask everyone to consider the service of the Commission members before you, and to proceed with the decorum that is appropriate in a proceeding such as this one. The public record on the application before the Commission has been closed since March 20, 2023. During the April meeting of the Planning Commission, the application as continued to this evening’s meeting so that the parties would have an opportunity to confer to determine if any of the issues that have been raised could be resolved. When I was retained by the Coty, I asked legal counsel for the Applicant and legal counsel for the Mishoe family to submit reports on any progress toward a resolution since the meeting in April. In order to maintain the integrity of the public record which, as I noted is already closed, I have not distributed the reports to the full membership of the Planning Commission, but the reports were incredibly helpful to me. At this stage, the Planning Commission is proceeding under the Zoning Ordinance at Article 10, 3 6

Page 7

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 Section 2, Subsection 2.43 (E), titled Planning Commission Action. That Section provides: “The planning commission shall act to approve or disapprove any application for site development plan received by it either as an original review or as a referral from the city planner under the provision of subsection 2.42 (A) of this article within 45 days or within such additional time as may be consented to by the applicant.” This application is at the final stage of the Planning Commission’s review process. In addition to site development plan approval, the applicant is seeking a waiver from the parking requirement to provide 683 parking spaces instead of the 867 spaces required under the Code. Based upon my review of the record, it seems that a question about the ownership of Raymond (Jason) Street has overwhelmed the most recent conversations. The City Solicitor opined in an April 14, 2023 letter that the portion of Raymond Street at issue has been affectively annexed into the City of Dover as a public right-of-way. This Planning Commission has no authority to adjudicate land ownership issues, especially ownership of off-site lands. To the extant there is merit to the theory that Raymond Street was not dedicated to the City with the recordation of an 1899 plot, it’s not the Planning Commission’s responsibility to adjudicate that claim. Similarly, to the extent there is merit to the theory that the annexation actions were not properly conducted, it’s not the Planning Commission’s responsibility to adjudicate that claim. Whether you approve or deny the Application before you, the dispute over ownership will remain because this body does not have the authority to resolve land ownership issues. After you take action on this application, either approving it or denying it, the parties will continue to have the same ownership dispute and should they so choose, they will be able to adjudicate their dispute in the appropriate court. Presume for a moment that Mr. Sergovic is correct, and Raymond Street is owned by his client. If the plan is approved and the court later concludes that Raymond Street is not a City Street, the developer will be required to obtain an easement from Mr. Sergovic’s client to utilize Raymond Street, or the developer will need to come back to this body seeking a plan amendment to gain access through some other route. For all those reasons, in my view, the Planning Commission should not delay action on this application until the ownership dispute is resolved. Instead, I recommend that the Commission deliberate over the merits of the application without giving the Raymond Street ownership issue undue consideration, and endeavor to decide the application. Mr. Hartman stated that one of the Planning Commission’s obligations under Article 10, Section 2, Subsection 22 is to protect the health, welfare, and safety of the residents for all Site Development Plans. If this was an error in the Annexation, how can the Planning Commission say yes go ahead with this not knowing if it is a problem with the Annexation? That is not protecting the welfare of the residents at all. In the initial wording of the City in their DAC Report of November 3, 2021 has some very squirrely language in it and he would like to read it for the record. “While the right-of-way was not explicitly described in the resolutions of the majority of these properties annexed into the City, it is the City Solicitor’s understanding that because the right-of-way was originally platted for public use, that as the properties were 4 7

Page 8

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 annexed, the adjacent right-of-ways should have been annexed as well. From our research, it appears that portions of Raymond Street were included in the annexation of certain adjacent parcels.” And it goes on and its Item #5 from the DAC Meeting Report from the Planning Staff dated November 3, 2021. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Mandalas stated that he would say that there is a valid issue here. There is clearly an issue and parties have made points on either side of it and he thinks it’s an issue that could be adjudicated by a court. He just simply doesn’t think that it’s an issue that the Planning Commission should rely upon to either approve or deny. If Raymond Street, for example, you didn’t think it provided proper access or if you thought Raymond Street for some reason was going to put people at risk and create a health, welfare or safety concern, then he thinks it’s absolutely appropriate for the Planning Commission to be considering those sorts of aspects of Raymond Street. But as to ownership, the record is just unclear and sort of replete with both sides making arguments about ownership and he doesn’t think the ownership issue. As long as you have sufficient evidence on the record to suggest that the Annexations might have been proper or that the dedication might have been affective, he doesn’t think that it is of a level that would be sustainable from a denial perspective. He does think that if the Planning Commission makes a decision one way or another, parties then are at least in a better position to figure out whether they want to adjudicate in the proper court, the ownership issue of Raymond Street. Mr. Hartman stated that he would just like to point out and he made this point at the hearing, that there was no Traffic Impact Study done. That is one of the things that the residents brought to the hearing, is their concern with the traffic. That was one of the things that they discussed with the City Attorney when he met with them onsite. We have in writing that Dr. Mishoe pays property taxes to the County on this. His point is, if the City errored in this Annexation by not notifying the correct people and just went ahead with this Annexation by mistake, shouldn’t the City be seeking some sort of resolution in court rather than putting the burden on Dr. Mishoe? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Mandalas stated that is an issue that he thinks that there could be some court resolution to it and he supposes that the City could seek some sort of declaratory judgement action to have a court declare whether their actions were proper or improper. He just doesn’t think that it is the type of record evidence that you can rely upon to approve or deny the application. He does think that what he was speaking to earlier about the Traffic Impact Study as, there have been items on the record from other agencies that deal with traffic and entrances, but to the extent that you’ve recognized that the Raymond Street access area as one not appropriate for maybe regular traffic, he does think that is record evidence that you could rely upon in your decision. Mrs. Denney stated that her feelings are very strong that in order for the applicant’s desire for planning to move ahead, that we should address issues like parking waivers and things like that full well knowing that as you pointed out, beyond that the rest of those items, this is a civil matter. We have no jurisdiction or right to really discuss that aspect of it here. This body has no governance over it. She feels strongly that it shouldn’t stop us from reviewing this and allowing them to know what this body and the things that they do have jurisdiction over for recommendation, what they think, feel and what we are going to say about it. She thinks that they deserve going forward, to know that and that’s the purpose of this meeting. Last month when she made the motion to table this for up to 45 days for clarification, she had hoped that meetings and things would take place and we would come back with an absolute answer. But at 5 8

Page 9

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 this point, based on your explanation, she doesn’t think that that is going to come any time quickly. She thinks that we should just move forward with what they can discuss and vote on. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she is going to do a quick version of the Staff presentation just so everyone is reminded of what Site Plan S-23-06 College Road Apartments at Railroad Avenue/Grove Street is. It is a Site Development Plan proposal for two six story mid-rise apartment buildings. They are shown on the screen as L-shaped. They consist of a ground level of parking and then floors 2 through 5 would be the apartment units themselves. A total of 385 units are proposed in a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. The project site also includes other parking lot areas in the form of surface parking. There are sidewalks that circulate the site and also Active Recreation as this is a residential development and active recreation components are required. The property is zoned RG-5 (General Residence Zone for Mid-Rise Apartments). RG-5 (General Residence Zone for Mid-Rise Apartments) does allow for mid-rise apartment buildings. There are bulk standards that the project is meeting. There is a maximum building height of six stories and seventy feet in the RG-5 (General Residence Zone for Mid- Rise Apartments). As noted, the applicant initially did make a Waiver Request for the reduction of the parking requirements for the project based on the Code of 2.25 parking spaces per dwelling unit. That 385 units would require 867 parking spaces. Their plan, as initially submitted, includes parking for 683 spaces. There has been some conversation that the applicant has put forward in the past that they could abandon that Waiver Request for parking; so, that may be something that you wish to clarify this evening. The project has other site amenities that are required by Code such as bicycle parking, lighting, dumpsters, and the rear emergency access is satisfied as there are circulation drive aisles that double as fire lanes for the project site. The project really focuses on the development of the western portion of this tract of land. The eastern portion is encumbered by wetland areas and floodplain areas which the Zoning Ordinance limits the ability to construct in. The project will do some woodland clearing; however, it is maintaining adequate existing woodlands on the site per our Code. Additionally, they will be planting trees and the minimum number required based on the initial calculations is 158 trees. Their plan, as displayed on the screen, shows all of those funny little circles that are additional trees that would planted on site which is over 260 new tree plantings. The Active Recreation Area for this project consists of a number of amenities. Focused here it includes a walking path trail that has a fitness component to it. There is a multi-sport court. There is a sand volleyball court and also a pavilion. In all, the total Active Recreation Area they are providing is 6.67 acres which meets the minimum requirement for Active Recreation Area for the project site which is a calculation based on the number of units. The DAC Report for this is dated March 8, 2023 includes the summary and information from the Planning Office in addition to the other regulatory agencies including the Department of Public Works, the Department of Water/Wastewater, the Office of the Fire Marshal, the Electric Department, DelDOT and the Kent Conservation District who have also weighed in with comments. The packet that we provided to the Planning Commission included all of the original attachments that you were provided at the March 20, 2023 meeting. In addition, the meeting minutes from both the March and April meetings of the Planning Commission and the additional items that were provided, specifically a letter from the City Solicitor dated April 14, 2023 and then other email and letter distributions that were made by the City Clerk’s Office to the Planning Commission with the receipt of several letters from John A. Sergovic who is representing the Mishoe Family. So, all of those were included in your packet and we tried to give them exhibit numbers to help you out 6 9

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 this evening. She will just remind everyone that the applicant did make a Waiver Request for the reduction of the parking requirement and it will also include consideration of the Active Recreation Area for the plan. Mrs. Maucher stated that as a reminder, Application S-23-06 College Road Apartments at Railroad Avenue/Grove Street, public hearing was conducted during the meeting of March 20, 2023; therefore, there is not a public hearing this evening. Mr. Roach stated that he does see that there are quite a few people attending today in person and he understands that we do not have to open it the public tonight; but honestly, with all of the confusion and disputes between other parties, is it possible that they can vote on possibly opening up the public hearing or testimony in regards to this matter? He feels as though that there are so many discrepancies that are going on in regards to what is being said. He doesn’t want to be in a situation as to where they are not allowing others to be able to come forth to be able to speak in regards to things that are being said just because there is no public testimony. He is not sure in regards to what rights they have as the Planning Commission to be able to see if there are people in there that may have some other information that they can be able to hear today. He honestly feels as though that at this point in time, based on everything that we have had these past couple of meetings, he would rather just have more information than not. Responding to Mr. Roach, Mr. Mandalas stated that he is sympathetic to Mr. Roach’s view. There are quite a few people in the room and he is sure that they would like the option to speak. The issue with the land use application such as this is that there is a public hearing process and the record is open when the public hearing occurs and the record is closed when the public hearing is done. As much as they would like to hear from individuals who are in the room today, other individuals who may be wanting to comment on this application as well, didn’t receive any public notice that there would be additional testimony taken tonight. So, the only way that it would be appropriate under the process that’s been established in the Code to take additional public testimony, is to repost notice of a public hearing, publish it in the newspaper, give fifteen days’ notice, set another hearing date and conduct another full public hearing to allow individuals to speak. It is not simply that it’s unfair in some respects to the people that are here to not have the opportunity to speak; it is just as unfair for those individuals who didn’t attend tonight because they didn’t’ think there would be opportunity to speak. To maintain the integrity of the record, his advice is to not open up the mic tonight. Mr. Roach thanked Mr. Mandalas. He stated that like he said before in regards to the issues in regards to the applicant and the owner in question, he would personally love to be able to obtain as much information as we can because as he sees it in his past meetings that they have had, he would much rather be able to allow opportunity for everyone to be able to speak and express their thoughts and any information on things that we continue to gather throughout these months of this application. He would rather have another hearing in regards to them being able to hear everyone’s testimony as we continue to move throughout this process. Again, he is the type that would like to at least have all of the information that he can before he makes a decision. It seems like every single month we are getting new information. In his opinion, he would like to table it again and possibly open up another public hearing to be able to get all of the information that we are not receiving in the meeting, opposed to having a closed hearing just because the public hearing is not being held again. Responding to Mr. Roach, Mr. Mandalas stated that the other 7 10

Page 11

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 relevant issue with regard to considering an additional public hearing is that the City Code does provide for approval within 45 days and that clock has already ticked off. The Code does allow for that time to be extended as long as the applicant consents to the extension of time. In his review of the record and watching the previous hearing, he was reminded that the applicant put on the record that they would not be consenting to any additional time period. So, to the extent of the Planning Commission wanting to move forward, the applicant would have an action to compel the Planning Commission to make a decision on the application. Mr. Roach stated that a lot of times we run into applications where we haven’t had situations like this. As long as he has been on the Commission, there has never really been any outright contesting to ownership of a property. Even if that is not the case, he doesn’t know what they can do. But again, at this point in time he would love to be able to have that but if there is a 45 day standard in regards to us being able to allow to open it to the public hearing again. He would just like to continue to allow opportunity and have clear cut evidence or a clear cut decision being made by the City Planner or anyone on here who could basically tell us what the acquisitions that were being made by Dr. Mishoe and the owners of the properties are actually concrete so there is no discrepancy. Again, for him and looking out for all of the outpour from the residents in that area and supposed owners, he just doesn’t feel comfortable being a person who can sit up here and make a decision based on something when there is still situations with people contesting that they own something that we are trying to make a decision on. Mrs. Maucher stated that the underlying ownership issue is not a Planning Commission matter to be decided. She thinks that Mr. Mandalas was pretty clear that that aside, we need to take action on this application on its merits based on what is being presented to us within our purview. Perhaps Mr. Mandalas would like to review the underlying issue and how it is not within our purview. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Mandalas stated that the way he boiled this down to its essences is as he said earlier that the Planning Commission is without authority to adjudicate land ownership issues. The Planning Commission neither is with the authority to force the parties to adjudicate land ownership issues. So, we are really at a standstill. The Planning Commission has no ability to compel the applicant or the opposition to go to a court and adjudicate the matter and Planning Commission doesn’t have the authority to adjudicate it either. The only action that the Planning Commission can take is the one that is obligated to take which is to either to approve or deny the application. That is why he said earlier that he thinks the Planning Commission should try to make a decision on the application. Mr. Hartman stated that he understands that it is not the Planning Commission’s responsibility or authority to make a determination in these types of matters regarding litigation between people for property. His guilt comes in because this Commission was involved in the very beginning in approving that Annexation. It went from us to City Council which approved it and then it was annexed. He is just saying that maybe they weren’t given the right amount of information at the very beginning of this. At the very least, the City should go back and look at how they did this Annexation and learn from their mistakes because this has been a horrendous process for the applicant and for all of the people involved and for the Planning Commissioners. He knows that he has spent 30 hours on it at home. He feels that guilt. He made the motion to annex the property and here he are. 8 11

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 Mrs. Denney stated that she thinks she has said this before here but she often says it with the County. Her feelings are very strong that our Code is not a book of suggestions. The Code of the City of Dover is the Code and it is a reality. If there are issues then there are avenues where somebody can appeal that. The outlying issues are civil matters and we have no right to really address them. Her feelings are that we are down to making a decision no matter who owns the property because we shouldn’t ever make a decision on who owns a piece of property. We should make the decision based on what the request is and in this case it happens to be a waiver. No matter who owns the land, would this body agree to waive the amount of parking? She believes that is the issue that we are here trying to address and should address. As Mr. Mandalas stated, we had the public hearing; however, for her she just wants to state as we are about to make votes on this, that we are looking at a property that abuts very narrow streets. We all know that when events happen, people have parties or events and extra people, those who can’t find parking end up parking along the side of streets and this is a particularly narrow street. At this point, the one issue that she feels that we should address is that we should not be doing any kind of waiver for parking because it is inappropriate. Where would these people go to park? Mr. Roach stated that his issue at hand again is the fact that an Annexation or decision was made to have this application actually go in front of us in the first place. It was done in a way that was not presented, in his opinion, in a clear and equitable manner. He feels as though that there is no reason for them to not concentrate on the issue at hand when the issue at hand is the fact that there are questions in regards to the whole entire application. That is just his opinion and as he has said before, he loves and respects every single person on this body. We have always operated in a way that is fair and equitable in regards to any application that walks in here. Honestly, he knows that us being placed in a position to be able to make decisions in regards to applications that come across here, that our first and foremost charge is to make sure that we look out for the people in the City of Dover, Delaware. Tonight there is question to how this application even got in front of us based on ownership and based on the ideas of discrepancies as it pertains to annexations. To him, it doesn’t make sense to move forward in regards to any decision without clarity in regards to that situation. Mrs. Malone moved to approve S-23-06 College Road Apartments at Railroad Avenue/Grove Street to include the Waiver Request for the reduction in parking and the consideration of Active Recreation Area Plan and these recommendations are based on the consideration that has been given on all City departments and City Council, seconded by Mrs. Denney and the motion was lost based on a tied vote of 3-3 with Mr. Cooper, Mr. Baldwin and Dr. Jones absent. Mrs. Malone voting yes; based on the reasons that she already stated, and she will also add regarding the information that the developer has presented to the City Departments and Planning and who has provided everything that he has been requested to provide. Mr. Roach voting no. Mrs. Denney voting no; the project overall she believes that she could vote to approve but she absolutely feels that if we waive parking regulations that we could be setting up problems that our Police Department is going to have to enforce. The bottom line is that the street is too narrow. For instance, if a plan were to expand that roadway at the developer’s cost that would be a different story. She realizes that traffic impacts and things like that at this stage of the game, DelDOT doesn’t want to even talk about. She has done this for years and DelDOT doesn’t even want to entertain traffic studies on something that isn’t approved. Approval of the waiver bothers her. Mr. Hartman voting no; based on the waiver approval. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; she concurs 9 12

Page 13

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 with the statements made by Mrs. Malone. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; the applicant has been in compliance with the City Ordinance and zoning requirements and DAC and Planning Staff recommendations have also identified no issues and it is also consistent with our Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Mandalas stated that with a tied vote, the motion does not carry. You can take a new motion. Obviously, there was concern over the waivers; so, you could separate those out or take a different motion but at this point, no action has been taken. You could take the waivers separately. You could take a reverse of Mrs. Malone’s motion to approve the Site Plan but not the waiver. Or you could take a motion to deny. Mr. Mandalas stated that he doesn’t want to open the record back up but what he recalls from the last record is that Mr. Balascio put on the record that they would gladly provide the parking if they needed to but that would create other issues with unit count, he believes. There was an offer to remove that waiver request. He doesn’t know if it was ever formalized or put in any form of writing but there was an offer to remove that waiver request. Mrs. Denney moved to deny the parking waiver for S-23-06 College Road Apartments at Railroad Avenue/Grove Street. Mrs. Maucher asked if they needed to do the Site Plan first and then the waivers. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Mandalas stated that he doesn’t think they need to. He thinks this a relevant motion to bring clarity to that issue because it wasn’t clear in the last hearings. Mrs. Denney moved to deny the parking waiver for S-23-06 College Road Apartments at Railroad Avenue/Grove Street, seconded by Mr. Hartman and the motion was carried 6-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Cooper, Mr. Baldwin and Dr. Jones absent. Mrs. Denney voting yes to deny the waiver; there are other ways to remedy that within the plan with a little thought and redesigning. She feels very strongly that that road is way too narrow and there always tends to be, whether it is a studio apartment, eventually there is going to be issues where people are lined up parked and possibly even on both sides of the road for a graduation or a christening or something. Then our Police Department is out there wasting their precious time issuing citations. She thinks the best thing to do is ask the developer to change the plan and put the parking inside where it belongs. Mr. Hartman voting yes to deny the waiver request; based on concerns with public health, safety, and welfare. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; for reasons stated in the motion. Mrs. Malone voting yes to deny parking waiver. Mr. Roach voting yes. Mrs. Maucher voting yes for reasons stated. Mrs. Malone moved to approve Site Development Plan S-23-06 College Road Apartments at Railroad Avenue/Grove Street (with the exception of approving the parking waiver request) and inclusive of the Active Recreation Area Plan, seconded by Mrs. Denney and the motion was carried 5-1 with Mr. Roach voting no and Mr. Cooper, Mr. Baldwin and Dr. Jones absent. Mrs. Malone voting yes; because of her previous reasons stated. Mr. Roach voting no; for the reasons stated previously in his comments. Mrs. Denney voting yes; she thinks application goes along with the Comprehensive Plan, it meets the requirements and she thinks the additional housing is needed. Mr. Hartman voting yes; he personally disagrees with it but all of his arguments have 10 13

Page 14

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 been discounted. He understands their responsibilities under the Code and he will agree with the motion based on the advice of legal counsel here tonight. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; based on the legal comments by Mr. Mandalas and our responsibility here is to vote on the Site Plan. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for reasons stated previously. The applicant has been incompliance with City Ordinances and zoning approvals and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and based on comments from DAC and Planning Staff. She would also encourage the applicant to work with the community in examining some traffic calming measures on those roads because she knows having lived near large developments, sometimes those are helpful to address some of the concerns from the community. NEW APPLICATIONS S-23-12 Eden Hill Farm TND: Residential District – Revised Implementation Plan (Phases 4, 5 & 6 Areas: Lot Configuration, Open Space Areas & Unit Count) – Public Hearing and Review of Revised Implementation Plan for the Residential District component of the Traditional Neighborhood Design project known as Eden Hill Farm TND. The Revised Plan for the Residential District proposes to revise Phase 4, 5 & 6 areas: to correct sizes of Lots 6, 7, 8, and 9 (Multi-family Lots); to reconfigure Lot 10 (Multi-family) and adjacent alleys; to convert Lot 11 from Open Space to Townhouse Lots; to consolidate lots (Lots 190-234, 327-338, Open Space) to create Signers Park Open Space of 6.12 acres and to create a Multi-family Lot of 5.28 acres; to consolidate lots (Lots 434-450) to create Open Space of 2.18 acres adjacent to railroad corridor; to abandon certain street and alley rights-of-way; to adjust alignment of Red Haven Way; to increase total unit count from 665 to 725 dwelling units; and to revise phase line of Phases 5 and 6. The Residential District consists multiple parcels totaling of 109.034 acres ± of land and is zoned TND (Traditional Neighborhood Design). The project is located south of West North Street and Wemyss Road and east of the POW-MIA Parkway. The owners of record for the areas of revision are Eden Hill Apartments Acquisition Co., LCC and Eden 4DS, LLC. Tax Parcels: Multiple parcels of the Residential District on map ED-05-076.04. Council District 2. SB-06-03 Eden Hill Farm TND: Residential District - Implementation Plan consisting of 665 dwelling units received Planning Commission conditional approval on June 19, 2006. S-19-25 Eden Hill Farm TND: Residential District - Revised Implementation (Phase 2 Area, Club Houses and Unity Types) received Planning Commission conditional Approval on January 21, 2020. There have also been subsequent approvals related to lot layout and Pattern Book revisions. Related Applications: SB-07-01, MI-08-03, MI-08-20, MI-09-03, MI-09-13, MI-10-04, MI-10-14, MI-10- 20, S-19-25, and MI-21-06. Representative: Mr. Alan Hill, A H Davenport; Mr. Michael Scali, part of ownership group Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that we are looking at Eden Hill Farm TND which is a Traditional Neighborhood Design project and we are looking at a Revised Implementation Plan. Specifically, it focuses on Phase 4, 5 and 6 and deals with some lot configurations, open space areas, and a change in unit count. The image on the screen is the entire area that is the Residential District of Eden Hill. What is highlighted in green are areas of open space and one of the areas where changes are proposed is the big green triangle that is kind of on the right hand side of the location. The Residential District of Eden Hill is just over 109 acres and is zoned TND (Traditional Neighborhood Design). This zone has a very specific zoning process in our 11 14

Page 15

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 Code and back in 2005-2006, it was initially zoned to the TND (Traditional Neighborhood Design). The first Implementation Plan for the project was reviewed by Planning Commission in June of that year. Since that time, there have been a number of Implementation Plans that revised different pieces of the development and this is the current one that is under consideration. The most recent one prior to that was one in 2019 with S-19-25 which targeted some revisions to the Phase 2 areas and created basically two locations for Clubhouse buildings and did some other lot configurations. Your Report from the Planning Office actually outlines all of the many applications that this location has gone through over the years. Some of them require Planning Commission review and others were administrative in nature. The Residential District as approved is a mix of dwelling unit types. It includes single family detached homes, duplexes, townhouses, and also initially they were deemed condominiums but more recently reflected as multi-family units. The project itself is a Revised Implementation Plan. There is also what is known as a Comprehensive Development Standards Manual and they tend to call it the Pattern Book, that is in place and over the years has had a series of Addendums with it. With this proposal tonight, is an Addendum for consideration specifically for the multi-family units and the image of that is posted on the screen here. The Pattern Book needs to outline the bulk standards for the process of ultimately developing a multi-family unit. The images that are presented on the page are examples but the Pattern Book itself goes through material choices for development throughout the Eden Hill TND. Specially, she will use the next slide shown which is part of the applicant’s presentation. There are a number of revisions to the Plan that are proposed. In summary, what is shown on the screen in an orange color to the far north is some adjustments to the size of the multi-family lots that are there to really just balance the shape of those lots. To the east of that in the light blue color, there is a proposed reconfiguration of Lot 10 and Lot 11 areas. Again, this is a multi-family unit area and with adjustments to alleys in that area. They are also proposing four (4) townhouse lots to be established once the alleys are realigned for a little better circulation in that location. The biggest change is what is shown in purple and it is an effort to expand the open space and create a new area for multi-family lots. This is the portion of the district that is bounded by Little Eden Way, Eden Hill Boulevard, Skipton Boulevard, Red Haven Way, and the railroad corridor. New development has happened in this area; they are not existing houses and what they are proposing to do is take Signers Park Open Space which is in this area and enlarge it substantially for a large Open Space area of just over 6 acres while also creating a multi-family lot for development of just over 5 acres. Additionally, a series of lots along Red Haven Way between it and the railroad corridor would be consolidated to create another area of open space. Ultimately, they are increasing the open space but also increasing the dwelling counts for the project overall. The next piece of change is just a revision in phase lines. That is really a development construction process aspect that they are looking to adjust. The next piece of the Revised Implementation Plan is an increase in dwelling unit count. Once we do this combination and reconfiguration of units, they are asking for the project to be allowed a maximum of 725 dwelling units. Currently, the project site is approved for 665 dwelling units so that is an increase of 60. There was a higher number at one point in one Implementation Plan that never came to fruition. Tonight, they are looking to increase it to a total of 725 dwelling units. There is a slight change in the mix of unit types and in their number and location. In our Report, they actually tracked out the unit type changes over the years and what those percentages are. This does increase the percentage for multi-family units, but it increases the density while also increasing open space for the project. There are number of site considerations that will have to be ironed out through an administrative process to update any 12 15

Page 16

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 construction plans should this Revised Implementation Plan be adopted. Those are things related to sidewalks, the tree planting plan, and the details of the open space area and any amenities that they may have. Tonight, you are looking at a Revised Implementation Plan. Just to let you know, out there right now they have over 160 units that have received a Certificate of Occupancy and are for the most part occupied. There are about another couple dozen that are under active construction. The area that is under construction right now is in the western portion of the site and is not impacted by the development changes that are proposed with this Revised Implementation Plan. She would refer you to the DAC Report that was prepared by Planning Staff with our recommendations and other notations for the Plan. With that, there are the comments from the other regulatory agencies related to the Departments of Public Works and Water/Wastewater, the Electric Department, the Office of the Fire Marshal, DelDOT and the Kent Conservation District. All of whom are involved and will continue to be involved in the development of this tract here in the City of Dover. Mr. Hill stated that the first slide shows the overall limits of the residential portion of the Eden Hill Farms TND (Traditional Neighborhood Design) which was first approved in 2005. Over the past 18 years, the project has been through multiple owners and builders. Most of the time, the project has sat still while those owners have struggled to make the project a success. Mr. Scali and his partners have been able to successfully take on the project and begin to make it a success. But for that success to continue, we need to make these changes tonight to the previously approved plans to make the project viable. The first area that he would like to focus on briefly is the area in the orange at the top of the screen. There are two reasons that this area is highlighted, as Mrs. Melson-Williams previously said. The first is part of the Resubdivision Plan to correct some calculation errors that were on the previously approved plans and then the second part of that is part of the Pattern Book Amendment which will be discussed later in the presentation. The large violet area in the center of the screen is the area that we are changing the most in the proposal. They would like to focus on the area in the blue to begin with. The next slide shows the before and after of the proposal. The left side of the screen is the current layout that we have and on the right are the proposed improvements. The driving horses behind this change was to improve the safety of the access to the Alley N from Banning Street. You can see on the left that the intersection is close but not across from Ann Moore Street which is a road intersecting Banning Street across from Alley N which creates and unsafe condition in their opinion. In moving Alley N to the midpoint between the circle and Ann Moore Street, this will place the alley in the safest access location on Banning Street. A second benefit of this change is that is now allows us to provide all of the necessary parking for the proposed multi-family building which is at the top of the screen, and which is not colored in on Lot 10. It’s to have all of the parking north of Alley N so that people aren’t crossing the alleyway to reach their apartments from the parking spaces which makes it more safe and adds to the convenience as well. The final part of the changes on this area is to add the four townhouses on Lot 11. These homes will face Banning Street but access will be from Alley M. There are also some comments from the DAC requesting revisions to the width of Alley M which they will be making. Basically, they have the alley right-of-way at fourteen (14) feet, and they are required to make it sixteen (16) feet. That change is just a minor change to what you see before you. The next slide is a close up of the violet triangle that was originally shown. This is the area where the most significant changes to the Resubdivision Plan take place. The shading that you see on this Plan are the roads and alleys that they are proposing to eliminate which contain about 1.5 acres of paved impervious surface. 13 16

Page 17

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 All of the existing lots shown on this slide will also be eliminated and Signers Park will be increased from less than a half-acre to more than six (6) acres in size. This proposal also increases the open space between Red Haven Way and the State lines along the railroad from approximately one (1) acre to an excess of two (2) acres. The net increase in public open space that they are proposing is over six acres which is an increase in the open space within the residential component of the Eden Hill TND original plan of almost 60%. Once they have removed the roads and the alleys and added the additional public open space, they are proposing a construction of three (3) apartment buildings with related parking. They are not requesting a parking waiver for this; they have enough experience with apartment buildings to know that the required parking is generally the required parking. In addition to the six (6) acres of public open space, there will be an additional 2.5 acres of the five (5) acre parcel that they are creating for the apartments that will also be open areas around the apartment buildings. Primarily to the north and south of those buildings and to the west which will create a parkland in the center of the community of over 8.5 acres. This will provide the amenity of a larger open area which was neglected in the original plan which gives an area where families can gather to throw a football or a frisbee or to kick a soccer ball. It’s an area that the original TND (Traditional Neighborhood Design) doesn’t have and it’s an area that those of us that are old enough to have grown up in older areas had a park. People growing up in places like this don’t have a park to go to. They feel like it’s an important addition and a valued addition to the neighborhood. The next slide shows the Amendment to the Pattern Book for the community; there have been many revisions made to the Pattern Book since it was originally approved. They are proposing a one page amendment to accommodate the multi-family apartment buildings. When the original Pattern Book was created eighteen (18) years ago, multi-family apartments were not part of the plan. Now, it is the only way to be able to complete the project with the current market trends and construction costs. On the left, is the proposed 40-unit building which will be representative of the buildings proposed as part of the changes in the area shown in violet tonight. The buildings on the right are the 36 unit buildings with ground floor parking that are proposed in the areas that we show on that original plan in orange. The buildings are very different in location within the site which is reflected in the different architectural styles proposed for the building. The 40 unit buildings will be surrounded by the single family home sites and the parkland and as such, will have a much more traditional form for the architecture including gable roof lines that you see on the slide. The 36 unit buildings are on the edge of the community and will be creating a transition from the residential areas to the commercial buildings that are already constructed immediately north of the community. Both of the buildings will use masonry exterior elements with contrasting siding and other materials to provide building relief and architectural balance to the buildings. This proposed Amendment eliminates the middle building setbacks from the property lines to the apartments. Instead, they propose to use the building safety access requirements from the Delaware State Fire Prevention Regulations to provide safe emergency services to the apartment buildings. These requirements include restrictions such as a fifteen (15) foot setback between the parking and the building and a ten (10) foot separation between fire lanes and the buildings. This will allow for far more appropriate and flexible building placement than arbitrary building setbacks can provide. The last thing that he would like to mention before he wraps up his presentation is the image on the lower left of this slide. This shows perpendicular parking around the proposed building which is the most efficient way to provide the required parking for the 40 unit buildings. Unfortunately, the City doesn’t allow this parking configuration along City streets, so we are making the portion of Red Haven Way between Skipton Boulevard to the south 14 17

Page 18

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 and Little Eden Way to the north a private road. He does have one other request. That when motions are made, that each motion is made for each individual aspect of the application the way that the Planning Department made their recommendations in the Development Advisory Committee review. Mr. Hartman asked if he heard them say that they are going to meet the parking requirements of the Code. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Hill stated, yes they are going to meet the parking requirements. Mr. Hartman stated what a breath of fresh air to hear that for a change that somebody is going to meet the parking requirements. And you are going to meet the open space requirements and have a park for the community. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Hill stated yes, they currently meet the open space requirements; they are just adding another 8.5 acres of it. Mrs. Maucher asked if they had any amenities intended for the open space or is it just going to be open. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Hill stated that they are looking to do an open parkland. The residents will create their own amenities in the area. Mrs. Maucher asked about the private street that will be next to the apartments. he assumes that maintenance of that roadway will be inclusive. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Hill stated that it will be tied to the apartments. They will remove the right-of-way line. Mrs. Maucher stated that your rent would actually cover the maintenance. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Hill stated yes. Mr. Scali stated that the apartments, if you recall in one of the iterations before, the northern apartments have a Clubhouse, and they would be sharing that with the southern apartments. So there are amenities for them but they are just kind of working like heck to keep this field open. They don’t want to plan the inside so that kids can play without obstacles. If you will notice too, they even tried to have the fire lane that goes behind the apartments buildings be a green fire lane where it will be structural for emergencies but not just be another layer of asphalt. They are just trying to keep it all open there. Mrs. Maucher asked who would be responsible for open space maintenance. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Scali stated that was a good question. Either the HOA or the apartments could pick it up. It doesn’t matter to them. It would probably be something that the apartments would take on because it’s the front yard but that is a very good question. Mrs. Maucher asked if he was referring to the larger area or the smaller area. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Scali stated the larger area. The apartments could take that on and he images they would. Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing. Ms. Annette Mathis – 422 S Greenberry Lane Dover, DE 19904 Ms. Mathis stated that she just has a few questions. She would like to say that they are happy to 15 18

Page 19

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 see that there is some progress going on because every one of us that is here from Eden Hill have been living there for years with nothing being done. You said that there is going to be three apartment buildings, but how many stories? How many stories in the multi-family building? The park that you said was going to be built, will the existing residents that are already there be able to use that park? You also mentioned parking for the apartment buildings. Is the parking going to be on the street or underground or are they going to be parking where they already live? She lives on Greenberry Lane so she wants to know if there is going to be a straight road going through so that they can get to the apartments or the multi-family building. She also wants to ask about the Clubhouse. Are there going to be multiple clubhouses and are the existing residents going to be able to use them? When you asked about the maintenance for the cleaning of the streets of the apartment buildings or multi-family buildings, she believes that you said you think the HOA is going to do it or maybe the building is going to do it. The HOA doesn’t do anything now for us. So, she doesn’t know about the HOA doing anything. How many stories will the multi-family homes be? Are they going to have for each apartment, their own individual parking spaces? Like maybe two spaces per apartment for the multi-family building or are they going to have a parking lot for them to park in? Responding to Ms. Mathis, Mr. Hill stated that the original slide that had the orange, blue and purple on it, the orange and blue areas are existing approved apartments or multi-family. They are interchanging the two terms: multi-family and apartments. These buildings that are already approved are four stories. There is parking under the building on the ground floor and there is also surface parking off of the alleyways between the buildings. There is some parking along the streets. All the streets have parallel parking as part of the original approved plan so those parking space remain. The 2.25 spaces (per dwelling unit) are within the area. For the new buildings that we are proposing in the purple area are also four stories and that parking is going to be all contained. The parking is between the buildings and along Red Haven Way so that is away from all of the residential areas. Right now, there are three Clubhouse areas proposed on the plan. Right at the bottom of this screen there is an area that is called the Skipton Clubhouse. That is going to be for the houses on the southern end of the site. North of where this plan showed, if you look to the southwest of the orange area, you will see a large blank space on the plan. That is where two Clubhouses will be. There will be one clubhouse for all of the existing townhouses and single family homes that aren’t part of the Skipton Clubhouse and then there will be a second clubhouse for all of the apartment buildings shown in the orange, blue and violet areas on the screen. The last question was to do with the HOA and the maintenance areas. He is told that there has to be an HOA for the residential areas and that will become more active as those townhouses and single family homes become completed. They will have their maintenance areas which are the little park areas with the benches that are coming in between some of the units in some of the areas. Those areas are shown in green on the very first slide that the Planning Department shared tonight. But then those areas will be maintained by the HOA. The apartment open space and the open space that they are proposing tonight will be maintained by the apartments and the maintenance corporation that will be set up to run the apartments. None of this proposed open space will be a burden on the existing homes that are in there. But it is going to be fully available to all of the residents. They do not want to exclude anybody in the community. He thinks that it will be good for the community to have all of the different home types to be able to use this same space. Ms. Mathis asked if they were going to be using the existing HOA. Responding to Ms. Mathis, Mr. Hill stated that the apartments will have a separate HOA. They will have different 16 19

Page 20

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 maintenance. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that there is a question in the chat online. There is a comment from Rachael Rigliano stating that “their HOA is not very effective at all.” Joseph Blake asked “will there be any indoor recreation facilities for residents of Eden Hill or is it all just open space?” She believes that in one of the responses earlier, it identified that there are a series of clubhouse locations planned. She doesn’t know if the applicant needs to expand on that for him. Responding to Mr. Blake, Mr. Hill stated that there will be clubhouse buildings with fitness centers and meeting areas. They will be the normal community Clubhouse facilities. As far as final designs and plans, they have not been started. The Skipton Clubhouse he believes has been submitted to the Planning Department, but in a very early stage. He is not aware of what the interior is of that one, but he knows that there is a pool. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that there is another question from Racheal Rigliano. She asked if there are eight (8) apartment building in total or are there six (6) buildings and is most of the parking going to be under each building. Do you think that there is a market for that many rentals at market rate? Responding to Ms. Rigliano, Mr. Hill stated that there are a total of eight (8) buildings and the research that we have says that there is definitely a market in Dover for apartments; more so than single family homes at this point in time. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Ms. Rigliano has also made the comment “what do people do in Clubhouses with meeting spaces and no recreational facilities?” Responding to Ms. Rigliano, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she thinks the Clubhouse building interior layouts are not laid out yet. Mr. Hill stated that he doesn’t have any information on the interior or the amenities as part of the Clubhouses. Mr. Scali stated that Mr. Hill is not necessarily in the loop on the Clubhouse design. They had an architect do a design and it was a very traditional design. They sent it back and hired someone else to figure out a better use of the space for today’s people. Less just big open banquet area and more office work space. If you work from home and want to get out of your house for a bit, you can go sit there and do some work. He believes that they also have a fire pit outside. They are just trying to make it a little more modern of a concept, but it takes time. They had to bring in somebody else to kind of reconfigure it and their minds as a company because they have been doing it a different way for a very long time. Ms. Rachael Rigliano – 411 Ann Moore Street Dover, DE 19904 (virtual) Ms. Rigliano stated that she knows how this development works a little bit. Some of this is planned with data from maybe 3-4 years ago. She is a little concerned about market rate. She is worried that this is a lot of apartment space that may not sell at market rate. In terms of the Clubhouse, it kind of is what it is. She is not seeing the big banquet room as being all that attractive. Mr. Joseph Blake – 410 Ridgely Boulevard Dover, DE 19904 (virtual) Mr. Blake stated that he is a new resident to Eden Hill, and he has been here since January. He 17 20

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 has noticed that there are a number of families moving in with small children. When you start building apartments with multiple units and you have so many children, it seems that there should be something for them to do. There are not a lot of recreational facilities in the area that he can see. That becomes a concern when you have some many people in a small area really with nothing to do. With no outlet for those small children who are going to be here that is a concern in terms of how people live and the quality of life that they live once they get here. Mr. Dwight Chandler – 407 Ridgely Boulevard Dover, DE 19904 (virtual) Mr. Dwight Chandler stated that he is happy to see development in the area. Ms. Annette Mathis – 422 S Greenberry Lane Dover, DE 19904 Ms. Mathis stated that she forgot to ask for the timeframe of this build out and are you going to start building a Clubhouse for the existing Eden Hill that is already here? Responding to Ms. Mathis, Mr. Scali stated that the idea is that the Clubhouse that will serve the existing homeowners and the new D.R. Horton homeowners, his hope is that that’s under construction within a year. We need to finalize our plan and then he believes that it goes through Planning Commission to get their feedback on it. We are also going to start those northern apartments sooner rather than later. Hopefully by the start of the fall, at which point that northern clubhouse will be started and then the southern apartments would be under construction at a later time. Ms. Cynthia Wentworth – 401 Ridgely Boulevard Dover, DE 19904 Ms. Wentworth stated that her question is about Ridgely Boulevard. If she sees that correctly, it is going to extend on out and how long will that be before it’s done. Right now, when Pettinaro bought it and they had to do the streets in that gravel area and they made a circle so that people go around the circle and turn. Right now, that three block area has become a mad house of people speeding down it. There are a lot of children in this area now that she is concerned about. She is concerned about the safety issue of the street right now. We have even had hot rods in the evening racing on both sides of the street because it’s a divided street going the same direction. How long will it be before that is developed? Responding to Ms. Wentworth, Mrs. Melson- Williams stated that Ridgely Boulevard does continue east. If you are looking at the map on the screen, it does continue kind of between the orange and the violet. It is kind of the middle street that is there. It will interconnect with an extension of the other street network of Banning Street, which then turns into Red Haven Way and then becomes Ruth Way. There is more of the grid pattern to be established with the future buildout here with the site. Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing. Mr. Hartman moved to approve S-23-12 Eden Hill Farm TND: Residential District – Revised Implementation Plan (Phases 4, 5 & 6 Areas: Lot Configuration, Open Space Areas & Unit Count) for the Residential District component of the Traditional Neighborhood Design project known as Eden Hill TND as stated in Item 4 under New Applications of today’s agenda and he would further like to specify the appropriate conditions as recommended in the Planning Office’s DAC Report #IX titled Recommendations Suggested as Conditions of Approval to Meet Code Objectives, Subparagraph 1-4. This is an ongoing project that we have been involved in and the housing is needed and they meet the requirements of the Code, seconded by Mrs. Denney and the motion was carried 6-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Cooper, Mr. Baldwin and Dr. Jones absent. 18 21

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 20, 2023 Mr. Hartman voting yes; additionally based on the comments and recommendations noted in the Planning Office’s DAC Report. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; for reasons stated by Mr. Hartman. Mrs. Malone voting yes; for reasons stated. Mr. Roach voting yes; for reasons stated. Mrs. Denney voting yes; it is refreshing how this follows what the City would like to see. They are not asking for a lot of waivers; they are just building it keeping with what the Comprehensive Plan and what our Zoning Ordinance asks them to. She thinks this type of a development is so sorely needed and she loves the opportunity for both indoor and outside recreation. Sometimes kids just need plain old fashioned grass like she grew up with and maybe a swing set or something like that. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; based on the DAC Report and she would also encourage the applicant to work with the community. She lives in one of those neighborhoods with the guys racing up and down the street all of the time on mopeds or motorcycles. So, if there are any traffic calming measures because it is a straight right-of-way, if there is anything that can be done to help alleviate that situation before it happens. NEW BUSINESS No items. Meeting adjourned at 8:58 PM. Sincerely, Kristen Mullaney Secretary 19 22

PLAN SUMMARY This application is for review of a Conditional Use Plan to permit the conversion of the first floor (2,493 SF) within an existing building to serve as a professional office and event space (place of public assembly). The property consists of one parcel of land. The property is zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) and is subject to the H (Historic District Zone). The property is located at the south side of West Loockerman Street between the southern termini of South Bradford Street and State Street Alley. The owner of record is Conect LLC. Property Address: 28 West Loockerman Street. Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-077.09-04-15.00-000. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property is located on the south side of West Loockerman Street between the southern termini of South Bradford Street and State Street Alley. The applicant is proposing to convert the first floor (2,493 SF) within the existing building to include the addition of Professional Offices as well as the ability to utilize the space for Special Events. This is in addition to the existing, established use of the space as Retail. Specifically, the Floor Plan notes the three main areas of the first floor, the largest front area of the first floor (first accessed when entering from West Loockerman Street) being a “classroom.” The middle room/ space is noted as a “Stock Prep Room,” which additionally shows smaller rooms adjacent to it like an office, Break Room and various utility spaces. The final, rear space is noted as a “Meeting Room.” The Plans submitted by the Applicant note no proposed changes to the exterior of the building or other site improvements, as the building footprint comprises the lot area in its entirety. This proposal is for the first floor only, with no use or changes proposed on the second or third floors of the building (which are currently vacant and not occupied). The subject site is zoned C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) and is located within the Historic District. The parcels immediately adjacent to the subject site to the east, south, and west are also 24

Page 25

Item 2. C-23-02 The Hive: Business and Event Center at 28 W. Loockerman St. DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 3 zoned C-2 and contain a mix of retail and commercial/ office space. The properties directly across West Loockerman Street to the north are again zoned C-2, and are within the Historic District, and contain a mix of retail, offices, and a restaurant (La Hacienda). III. ZONING REVIEW C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) The subject Application is proposing to continue the use of the property as a retail space, while adding the use of both a professional office, as well as an event space (place of public assembly). Per Article 3, § 13.1 of the Zoning Ordinance, both retail stores and professional offices are listed as permitted uses in this Zone. The Applicant has however noted that they wish to utilize this space in part as an event space which would be considered a place of public assembly. A place of public assembly is a conditionally allowed use in this Zone, requiring approval by the Planning Commission. The Zoning Ordinance, Article 12 provides the following definition of a place of public assembly: Place of Public Assembly: Establishments where the principal use is for the gathering of persons for activities such as civic, social, or religious functions, including but not l imited to night clubs, theaters, civic halls, and places of worship. The following description of the C-2 zoning district is provided from Article 3 §13 of the Zoning Ordinance. Article 3 Section 13. – Central Commercial Zone (C-2). 13.1 Uses permitted. In a central commercial zone (C-2), 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: (a) Retail stores. (b) Restaurants. (c) Hotels, including bed and breakfast inns. (d) Art galleries and studios. (e) Service establishments. (f) Personal service establishments. (g) Business, professional, and government offices. (h) Apartments and multi-family dwellings, provided that no dwelling units shall be permitted in the first floor on the street frontage of Loockerman Street. 13.2 Conditional Uses. The following uses are permitted, conditional upon the approval of the planning commission in accordance with the procedures and subject to the general conditions set forth in article 10, section 1: (a) Parking lots and parking structures as a principal use. (b) Places of public assembly. (c) Manufacturing, assembling, converting, altering, finishing, cleaning, or any other processing of products where goods so produced or processed are to be sold at retail exclusively on the premises, provided that: (1) An area fully concealed from any street and equal to not more than 20 percent of the 25

Page 26

Item 2. C-23-02 The Hive: Business and Event Center at 28 W. Loockerman St. DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 4 area devoted to retail sales shall be so used; (2) Electrical power not to exceed a total of five rated horsepower, and steam pressure not in excess of 60 pounds of pressure per square inch shall be used exclusively; (3) Not more than four employees are engaged in such production or processing. 13.3 Uses prohibited. The following uses are prohibited: (a) Fuel pumps and motor vehicle storage, sales, or repairs. 13.4 Enclosed buildings. All permitted uses and all storage accessory thereto, other than offstreet parking, shall be carried on in buildings fully enclosed on all sides, except for outdoor eating areas associated with restaurants and outdoor sales areas approved by the city planner. 13.5 Performance standards. All uses are subject to performance standards as set forth in article 5, section 8.1. 13.6 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 prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for any change of use. As stated above, the existing use of retail is permitted in the C-2 Zone. However, the Applicant has stated they wish to further establish the use of professional offices as well as an event space (place of public assembly. This is required to go through the Conditional Use Process. With Conditional Use Plan applications, the Planning Commission reviews the proposed project to determine whether or not the intended use for the building is appropriate in type and scale for the immediate neighborhood. The Commission must also consider whether or not the proposed use will have an adverse impact on the future orderly development of the surrounding area. The following sections of the Zoning Ordinance which relates to the role of the Commission in reviewing Conditional Use Plan applications are particularly relevant when reviewing this application: Article 10 §1.1 [Accessibility for fire and police protection.] That all proposed structures, equipment or material shall be readily accessible for fire and police protection; Article 10 §1.2 That the proposed use be of such location, size, and character that, in general, it will be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the zone in which it is proposed to be situated and will not be detrimental to the orderly development of adjacent properties in accordance with the zoning classification of such properties; If the Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use Application, the use is granted as a Conditional Use Permit. Such permits may be permanent, subject to limitations outlined in Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §1.41 or be required by the Commission to undergo periodic renewal using the procedure described in Article 10 §1.42. Any Conditional Use Permit, permanent or not, may be revoked using the procedure described in Article 10 §1.43 if the conditions prescribed by the Commission in conjunction with the issuance of the Conditional Use Permit have not been or are no longer being complied with. H (Historic District Zone) The entire project site is also located in the H (Historic District Zone) and subject to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §21 and referenced sections. The H (Historic District Zone) is described in Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 21 with the following purpose statement: 26

Page 27

Item 2. C-23-02 The Hive: Business and Event Center at 28 W. Loockerman St. DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 5 Article 3, Section 21. - Historic district (H). 21.1 Purpose. The purpose of this historic district regulation is to preserve and enhance that 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. The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Victorian Dover Historic District. The National Registry Historic District describes the building as a “[l]ate 19th century, 3-story, 3-bay brick commercial building; flat roof, modillion cornice.” Any exterior changes to the building would be subject to Architectural Review Certification. As previously noted, no changes or alterations are proposed for the exterior of the existing building. As such, this Conditional Use Plan does not require review by the Historic District Commission. IV. PARKING SUMMARY Vehicle parking requirements are provided in the Zoning and Bulk Standards provisions are found in the Zoning Ordinance, Article 4. There are additionally supplementary parking regulations found in Article 6 of the Zoning Ordinance that may provide for minimum parking requirements based on certain uses. There are no minimum parking requirements for the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone), nor is there a specified minimum vehicle parking requirement for a retail store or professional office. There are certain uses considered as places of public assembly which do have minimum required parking rates, but the type proposed here does not. In addition, the Zoning Ordinance, provides exceptions for the minimum vehicle parking requirements based on use. Specifically, Article 6 Section 3.1 (a)(ii) notes that for existing buildings within the C-2 zoning district the zoning and bulk parking standards as found in Article 4 shall prevail. This property has no on-site parking. It is located within an area with on-street parking and other parking lots (paid/ permit). V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS Access The main entrance into the existing building is directly off West Loockerman Street. The building appears to be built right up to the property line right-of-way with no setback. There additionally does not appear to be any setback of the existing building on the east or south sides. The Plans submitted appear to indicate that the west side of the building is adjacent to a paved sidewalk area in front of the neighboring building. This paved area adjacent to the existing building at 28 West Loockerman Street is covered by a staircase providing access to the upper floors of the building. The Plan submitted notes an existing “Gate Door” that would open directly onto paved walkway on the adjoining property to the west, but the dimensions noted for this “Gate Door” (32” x 46”) would not meet regular egress standards and is not intended a regular access point. Sidewalks/ Pedestrian Circulation 27

Page 28

Item 2. C-23-02 The Hive: Business and Event Center at 28 W. Loockerman St. DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 6 As noted above, this building is built immediately adjacent to the right-of-way along the north side of the property (West Loockerman Street). These sidewalks span from the building to the street curb line. Access to the building is directly onto the existing sidewalk within the West Loockerman Street right-of-way; no further sidewalk improvements are required. Lighting The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 7 requires lighting of commercial uses to provide no less than 1½ footcandles at grade. Light shall be deflected away from adjacent residential areas and shall not be distracting to traffic on adjacent roads. The Plan submitted do not provide any details of any existing or proposed exterior lighting. However, there are currently two lighting fixtures on the exterior of the building, on the West Loockerman Street frontage, as well as an existing streetlight nearby in the right-of-way. Dumpsters According to Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §6.12, the Dumpster requirements for an Office or Retail space of less than 50,000 SF are two (2) Dumpsters required for the first 16,000 SF of gross floor area, and one (1) for each additional 16,000 SF of gross floor area or fraction thereof. The Plans submitted note the floor area of the first floor as being 2,943 SF, and do not note the square footage of the upper two floors. This would require two dumpsters to be provided. The Plans submitted do not identify any existing or proposed location for dumpsters; however, it is noted that the Site would have extremely limited availability to provide such a feature. The Applicant has provided a description of the method of trash collection (via email of 7/6/2023). It is stored inside the building until placed for curbside pick-up on collection day (City of Dover’s manual solid waste collection process). This can be accepted as it is the type of City collection process in this area. This should be noted on the plans. Signage There does not currently appear to be any signage present at this location, nor do the Plans identify any signage being proposed at the present time. Any new signage must be compliant with the sign provisions of the Zoning Ordinance as found in Article 5, Section 4, and the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone. The front façade of the building includes a sign band area over the main entrance as well as large storefront windows as potential locations for signage. It will be subject to a separate Sign Permit application and review. VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE As previously noted, this Conditional Use Application pertains to a proposed use within an existing structure. This Plan does not propose any alterations to expand the building. The building is three-stories in height, with the West Loockerman Street façade (front elevation) being the only building façade containing windows or doors to the exterior. The first floor contains the primary entrance to the retail/ event space at the center, and there is an additional door on this elevation providing access to a staircase that accesses the second and third floors of the building. The center door is glass with large display windows on either side. The second and third stories are three-bays each, all containing sash windows. The ground floor is surrounded by red brick, with a tiled area over the main entrance and display windows, with the 28

Page 29

Item 2. C-23-02 The Hive: Business and Event Center at 28 W. Loockerman St. DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 7 second and third stories also being masonry but painted in pale cream color. The front facade is topped above the third floor by an ornate Victorian cornice and a flat roof. The east and west building facades again do not contain windows or other such features but are largely not visible from the right-of-way or adjacent properties. VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 16 lays out the requirements for tree planting and preservation. Article 5, Section 16.3 further notes that this provision shall apply to any activity on a real property which requires Conditional Use Approval. To that end, a new project is required to provide tree plantings at a rate of one (1) tree per 3,000 SF of the “Development Area.” As the first floor of the building (and property) is identified as being 2,493 SF, there would be a requirement to provide one (1) new tree. For Consideration: Tree Mitigation Plan The Zoning Ordinance further lays out the conditions under which the Planning Commission may consider a Tree Mitigation Planning, should the plantings of new trees not be feasible: 16.9 Tree mitigation. 16.91 Planning commission waiver. The planning commission may waive the provisions of subsections 16.52, 16.53, and 16.62, and require replacement planting for mitigation purposes should the planning commission determine, after demonstration by the applicant, that due to physical limitations of the land which would otherwise prohibit the reasonable use of the land, or for purposes of preserving, protecting and promoting the interest of public health, safety, welfare and/or public convenience. All tree mitigation plantings must occur within the corporate limits of the City of Dover. Tree mitigation may occur off-site in accordance with the provisions listed below in this ordinance: (a) If a waiver is sought from the provisions of subsection 16.62, new tree plantings are required at a rate of 1:1. All new tree plantings shall meet the minimum size at planting requirements of the City of Dover table of trees. (b) If a waiver is sought from the provisions of subsection 16.52 and/or subsection 16.53, then mitigation must be in the form of newly created woodland areas. New woodlands shall be created at a rate of 1.25 times the amount of woodlands to be removed. A woodland mitigation plan shall be prepared by a licensed forester, landscape architect, or certified nursery professional, for the consideration of the planning commission. (c) All tree mitigation must occur on-site unless an off-site location is specifically approved by the planning commission. When considering off-site locations for tree mitigation, the commission shall consider: 1) A physical hardship related to the land which would otherwise prohibit compliance on the subject site; 2) Whether the mitigation plan proposed by the applicant is superior in terms of environmental benefits, tree quantity, or aesthetic qualities compared to strict compliance with the ordinance on-site. Since this parcel is fully occupied by the building, the Applicant has noted pursuit of a Tree Mitigation Plan. The proposal is to work with Delaware State Parks (DNREC) to make a tree donation (plant a tree) in a State Park area within Dover likely at the Fork Branch Nature Preserve. 29

The following items have been identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant: 1) The plan should clearly list of all proposed uses of the space, with particular attention to those uses proposed pertaining to the “place of public assembly.” 2) Tree Mitigation Plan: One (1) new Tree Planting must be provided on-site unless a Tree Mitigation Plan is approved. The Applicant is seeking an alternative for providing the required tree planting.

IX. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET CODE OBJECTIVES: In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §1, the Planning Commission in considering and acting upon Conditional Use Plans may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards so that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the 30

Page 31

Item 2. C-23-02 The Hive: Business and Event Center at 28 W. Loockerman St. DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 9 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 1.1 to 1.3. 1) Conditional Use for Place of Public Assembly: The Applicant is requesting to include the use of an event space (place of public assembly) to the established use as retail. The retail use is permitted in the C-2 Zone, as is a professional office use. Per earlier conversation with the Applicant, the proposed format is to allow a space to be utilized for hired private events, as well as seminars and other such uses as related to business growth and development. The mix of uses can be allowed under zoning provisions; however, the appropriate Building and Fire Codes and Licensing must be complied with. 2) Dumpsters: Planning Staff recommends acceptance of the description of the established process for trash/recycling collection for the location due to its Downtown location where the City provides a manual solid waste collection pick-up system. It should be appropriate stored inside and only placed curbside on the designated pick-up day. 3) Tree Mitigation Plan: The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 16.3 requires a minimum of one (1) Tree Planting to be provided. Planning Staff notes that it is impractical for the Applicant to provide one new tree on-site due to the limited availability of space on the exterior of the existing building. to that end, the Applicant would have to submit a Tree Mitigation Plan for review and approval by the Planning Commission. Planning Staff will be able to proffer a recommendation once such a Plan is submitted. X. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Conditional Use Plan occur in the finalization of the Conditional Use 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 and commissions making recommendations in regard to the Plan. 2) Following Planning Commission approval of the Conditional Use 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). 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. 31

Item 2. C-23-02 The Hive: Business and Event Center at 28 W. Loockerman St. DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 10 4) For building renovations to establish the new uses in the building, 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. 5) The applicant shall be aware that Conditional Use 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. 6) 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. 7) If approved, all required Business Licenses and Public Occupancy Permits will need to be obtained in order for the proposed uses to be allowed.

City of Item 3. Dover CITY OF DOVER Planning Office DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY D.A.C. MEETING DATE: June 28, 2023 APPLICATION ECIC: (Early Childhood Innovation Center) Building Delaware State University at 1200 North Dupont Highway (next to R. S. Grossley Hall) FILE #: S-23-13 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning Office CONTACT PERSON: Katherine Oehmke PHONE #: 302.736.7196 I. PLAN SUMMARY Review of a Site Development Plan for a new 14,512 +/- SF Building on the Delaware State University Campus for the Early Childhood Innovation Center (ECIC). This 2-story building will be placed where there is an active Demolition Permit for part of the R. S. Grossley Hall. This new building will be separate from the remaining portion of the R. S. Grossley Hall. There is an existing parking lot that will serve both the R. S. Grossley Hall and the new ECIC building with 33 parking spaces, including 5 handicapped spaces. The property is zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) and subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone). It is centrally located on the Delaware State University campus which the entirety is addressed as 1200 N. Dupont Hwy. Tax Parcel ID: ED-05-057.00-01-21.00-000. Council District 4. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Site Development Plan proposes the construction of a building for an interactive early childhood teaching lab. The parking lot west of the existing R.S. Grossley Hall will remain unchanged. The northeast portion of the project area includes areas of lawn and tree plantings. Behind and to the east side of the proposed new building is playground equipment with shade sail cloths. For the existing R.S. Grossley Hall, the project involves demolishing half the building and retaining the remaining portion. The new two story building will be freestanding. There will be a network of sidewalks connecting the existing building to the new building and interconnected with the rest of the campus and parking. III. ZONING REVIEW IO (Institutional and Office Zone) The Delaware State University Campus property is zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone). The application is a Site Plan for the proposed construction of another educational building which is an allowed use in the IO Zone per Zoning Ordinance, Article 3, Section 10. The IO Zoning district is subject to the bulk standards found in Article 4 Section 4.14. With the proposed building being internal to the campus, it will be compliant with the setbacks and complies with the height limitations. 49

Item 3. S-23-13 ECIC Building Delaware State University Center DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 3 of 7 SWPOZ – Source Water Protection Overlay Zone, Tier 3: Primary Wellhead Protection Area The purpose of the Source Water Protection Overlay Zone (Zoning Ordinance Article 3 §29) is to provide a safe drinking water supply and to ensure that groundwater is adequately protected and maintained. This entire project site is subject to the Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Area and the provisions for Article 3, Section 29.7. The following uses listed below are prohibited throughout the SWPOZ, including in the Tier 3 area. However, this development does not appear to include any prohibited uses. Zoning Ordinance Article 3 Section 29 29.51 Uses prohibited: a) Automobile body/repair shop, motor vehicle, boat or farm equipment service; b) Gas stations and motor vehicle service stations; c) Fleet/trucking/bus terminal; d) Dry cleaner; e) Electrical/electronic manufacturing facility; f) Machine shop; g) Metal plating/finishing/fabricating facility; h) Chemical processing/storage facility; i) Wood preserving/treating facility; j) Junk yard/scrap yard/salvage yard; k) Mines/gravel pit; l) Land divisions resulting in high density (> one unit/acre) septic systems; m) Equipment maintenance/fueling areas; n) Injection wells/dry wells/sumps, except for single-family residences directing gutter downspouts to a drywell; o) Underground storage tanks; p) All uses not permitted in the underlying zone district. Tier 3- Primary Wellhead Protection Area Lands are additionally subject to specific rules for impervious surfaces. The Plan has provided information that within the project area of 1.452 acres the amount of impervious surface coverage will be decreasing from 64.9% to 49.4%. This will be reviewed as part of the Stormwater Management Plan by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). IV. PARKING SUMMARY There is a centralized parking plan for the Delaware State University campus. No new parking is outlined on this review. Per the Campus Parking Plan, the Board of Adjustment set the required number of parking spaces needed for the Delaware State University Campus at 1,650 parking spaces per Article 6 Section 3.8 of the Zoning Ordinance on April 15, 2009 (V-08-19). The current number of parking spaces on campus was estimated to be 2,212 spaces (per Plan S-17- 29). Bicycle Parking Please provide details and location for the bicycle parking. Bicycle parking shall be provided for parking spaces at a rate of one bicycle parking space for every 20 parking spaces or a fraction thereof. V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS 50

Item 3. S-23-13 ECIC Building Delaware State University Center DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 4 of 7 Lighting There are 7 new wall lights on the plan for the new building. Existing pole lights along the pathways can be seen. No new lighting looks to be planned on the pathways or playground. Dumpster Dumpsters do not appear on the site plan. Please address how refuse and recycling will be stored and disposed of. Two dumpsters are required for the first 80,000 square feet of gross building area; one required for each additional 40,000 square feet of gross building area or fraction thereof. Access There are multiple access points to the Delaware State University Campus. Delaware State University Drive is off Old College Road. To get to the parking lot of R.S. Grossley Hall, you drive around campus on Delaware State University from North Dupont Highway, past Loockerman Hall, Conrad Hall, and Thomasson Building. Sidewalks There is an extensive sidewalk system moving around campus and the proposed new building has its main entrance off the parking lot into the south side of the building. Additional sidewalk access is into the east and the west sides of the building. VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE This new ECIC modern looking building will be 2 stories high with varied massing in square and rectangular shapes of different building textures based on color and material. The 2 staircases are clad in solid brick. The front of the building orients to the parking lot with a heavy banded metal awning that turns the corner onto the main pedestrian walkway through campus that is directly across from the similar looking Wellness and Recreation Center built in 2009. The front of the building is a signed entrance for the Innovation Center, while the Side entrance is the Learning Lab. The dynamic roofline changes height and shape with each change in exterior building material. The right side of the front on the south has vertical cement boards that wrap to the east. The left side has a metal panel system that horizontally wraps to the west. A long set of windows wraps with this side around the building. The west face has another long band of windows. There are windows and doors on all sides of the building. VII. SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS Flood Hazard Area The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §11.21 requires that special flood hazard areas (100-year floodplain) remain as open natural areas with no impervious surfaces. Portions of the Delaware State University campus property are within the Special Flood Hazard Area (100-year floodplain/ 1% chance of annual of flooding). This property is found on the FEMA FIRM Panel of Kent County Delaware Map Number 10001C0166H effective date May 5, 2003. The area is located in the western area of the campus adjacent to the Fork Branch. This new structure is at least 1000 feet from the flood plain. 51

PLAN SUMMARY: This Site Plan Review to permit the construction of two 19,800 Sq Ft office buildings, parking, and other site improvements. The parcel totals 2.615 acres +/- and is zoned CPO (Commercial and Professional Office Zone) and is subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The property is located on the southwest corner of Walker Road and Saulsbury Road, and east of Mont Blanc Boulevard. The owner of record is Walker Pavilion, LLC and equitable owner is Walker Road Professional Center, LLC. Property Address: 101 Mont Blanc Boulevard. Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-067.19-04-52.00-000. Previous Applications: This property was previously subject to Site Development Plan Applications S-05-18, S-06-46, and S-09-19 where construction did not commence, and the plans expired. The most recent Site Development Plan Application S-20-12 Walker Pavilion was granted conditional approval by the Planning Commission in November 2020 with an extension until November 30, 2023. This Application S-20-12 proposed one two-story professional office building of 24,657 S.F. and associated site improvements. Final Plan approval is pending, and as such, the Application S-20- 12 is still active. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The property located at 101 Mont Blanc Boulevard is the only undeveloped property of four commercial properties created as part of the Four Seasons Subdivision. The parcel is 2.615 acres +/- and has frontage along Saulsbury Road, Walker Road and Mont Blanc Boulevard. The proposed project, like the other commercial properties along this corridor will take access from Mont Blanc Boulevard only. All four of these properties have a shared stormwater management facility located to the south of the four commercial properties at the northeast corner of Mont Blanc Boulevard and Matterhorn Drive. 98

Page 99

Item 4. S-23-15 Walker Road Professional Center Medical Buildings DAC Report – July 7, 2023 Page 3 The subject application proposes two (2) two-story Office Buildings which will be situated at along the eastern boundary of the property along Saulsbury Road. Each Office Building is to comprise a total floor area of 19,800 SF (footprint of 9,900 SF each). The proposed building height is 28 feet. The project also includes a parking area to the west of the proposed buildings with the only vehicle access off Mont Blanc Boulevard, several pedestrian connections, and extensive landscaping. The original plan set has been amended by a Letter of Clarification dated July 6, 2023 and its attached Exhibit Sheet: Revised Plan Sheet PL-02. Surrounding Land Uses: In addition to the commercial properties zoned C-PO (Commercial and Professional Office Zone) to the south which include medical offices and a Child Day Care Center, there is the residential portion of the Four Seasons Subdivision located to the south and west is zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone). To the north there is a shopping center (the Shoppes of the Hamlet) zoned SC-1 (Shopping Center Development). To the east there are additional office buildings zoned C-PO and to the northeast there is the Northwest Dover Heights Subdivision which is zoned R-7 (One Family Residence Zone) consisting of one family detached dwellings. Properties with frontage on Saulsbury/ McKee Road to the north and south of the subject site are also subject to the COZ-1 Overlay Zone. III. ZONING REVIEW C-PO (Commercial and Professional Office Zone) The types of permitted uses in the C-PO Zone are given in Article 3 §26 of the Zoning Ordinance. A business, professional or governmental office is a permitted use in C-PO; and medical offices are considered a type of professional office. The Bulk Standards of the CPO Zone is to be followed unless the COZ-1 is more restrictive. COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone -1) The subject site area involved with this application is located within the COZ-1. 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 compliance of the project with the COZ-1 requirements is discussed below. • The COZ-1 specifies a required front yard setback for non-residential properties. This site has three street frontages: Saulsbury Road, Walker Road, and Mont Blanc Boulevard. In this case, the front setback is from Saulsbury Road and is a maximum of 50 feet. The portion of the building fronting on Saulsbury Road complies with the minimum setback of 40 feet and the maximum of 50 feet; the setback of the buildings from Saulsbury Road is not provided but appears to comply. • The COZ-1 building must sit parallel to the road with the longest side facing the road; the proposed buildings are placed adjacent to one another (one north, and one south), each 99

Page 100

Item 4. S-23-15 Walker Road Professional Center Medical Buildings DAC Report – July 7, 2023 Page 4 with their longest elevations being parallel to Saulsbury Road. • Parking Lot layout/arrangement: The parking lot location is not in the front yard setback or located between the building and the corridor frontage when compared to Saulsbury Road. However, there are vehicle parking spaces being shown closer to Walker Road then the buildings themselves are placed. • Further details and clarifications of dimensions of the medians and landscape islands within the overall vehicle parking lot to ensure compliance with the required minimum dimensions as stipulated in the COZ-1. Note: The Exhibit Sheet shows some of this information. • Building complies with the allowable number of stories and maximum permitted height of 35 feet in the COZ-1. • The proposal meets the requirement that a minimum of 25% of the lot consist of landscaped open space. With a Lot Coverage of 68% (noted in the data column), approximately 32% remains as open space. • The project complies with the 6-foot sidewalk width and a landscaped area for a total width of at least 12 feet between the building and parking lot. • The Site appears to comply with the required 25-feet of landscaped Open Space along the Saulsbury Road frontage. • The property is required to provide one tree per 50 feet of road frontage, as well as 1 tree per 75 feet of non-road frontage. However, no details are provided regarding these provisions. • Non-frontages in the COZ-1 are required to have landscaped open space of 15 feet when adjacent to residential uses and landscaped open space of 5 feet when adjacent to non- residential uses. The Plan appears to comply, but detailed measurements are not provided to confirm. • See Building Architecture (Section VI) for Compliance with the COZ-1 provisions. IV. PARKING SUMMARY Vehicle Parking The minimum off-street parking requirement for the C-PO (Commercial Zone) is based upon the square footage. It shall be provided at a rate of at least one (1) space per 300 square feet of floor area (Article 4 §4.15). Based on the 19,800 S.F. noted for each proposed building (39,600 total SF), this property would require a minimum of 132 vehicle parking spaces. The Cover Sheet of the Plan submitted incorrectly references a square footage of 33,660 and subsequent required vehicle parking rate of 113 spaces but notes a proposed vehicle parking count of 135 spaces, including 8 ADA spaces. Bicycle Parking Bicycle Parking is required at a rate of one (1) bicycle parking space for every twenty (20) vehicle parking spaces. With the proposed 135 vehicle parking spaces, this would require a minimum of seven (7) bicycle parking spaces. A note on the Cover Sheet (PL-01) notes that eight (8) bicycle parking spaces are to be provided. 100

Page 101

Item 4. S-23-15 Walker Road Professional Center Medical Buildings DAC Report – July 7, 2023 Page 5 Waiver Request: Loading Spaces The Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 §4.22 notes the requirements for providing loading berths based on the type of use for a building. This stipulates that a building of 19,800 SF building containing medial (professional) offices would require one (1) loading space, meaning this project would require two total loading berths (1 for each building). The Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 §4.4 allows for the Planning Commission to approve a waiver from these requirements under certain conditions. To that end, the Applicant has submitted a Waiver Request from the requirement to provide one (1) loading berth for each building (2 total). Specifically, the Applicant notes that drop-off areas shown on the Plans at the west entrance to each building would serve for small-box truck deliveries, which would be sufficient to meet the needs of the intended uses of the building. V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS Building placement requirements of the Corridor Overlay Zone are found in Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §27.62. It includes the requirement that the building be placed with the long side to the roadway. This site design places the long side of both buildings parallel to Saulsbury Road, with the primary entrance to each building off the parking lot to the west. Lighting The location of the lighting is proposed in the form of light poles throughout the parking lot, and it does not appear that any exterior lighting is proposed on the buildings themselves. The office use would be considered a commercial use, thus requiring a minimum of 1.5 foot candles at grade. The proposed lighting must be adequate to safely light all parking and pedestrian areas yet must be shielded and directed as to not create a nuisance on the adjacent properties and roadways. Dumpsters For a professional office use, the Zoning Ordinance Article 5 §6.12 requires a minimum of two (2) dumpsters for the first 16,000 SF of gross floor area, and an additional dumpster required for each additional 16,000 SF of gross floor area or fraction thereof. With a combined floor area of 39,600 SF, this Application would require a minimum of four (4) dumpsters to be provided. A Dumpster Enclosure is depicted on the plan at the northwest corner of the site near the intersection of Mont Blanc Boulevard and Walker Road. No details are provided regarding the dimensions of the proposed Dumpster Enclosure, nor the type of material to be used. The Plan appears to show that two (2) Dumpsters are to be provided. The Letter of Clarification notes that the Dumpster enclosure will be masonry/brick and an area will be designated reserve a location for the other Dumpsters required. The Applicant does have the ability to seek a reduction in the minimum required number of dumpsters constructed per Article 5 §6.18, provided the Applicant provide an area reserved for future use, or otherwise utilizes a trash compactor. 101

Item 4. S-23-15 Walker Road Professional Center Medical Buildings DAC Report – July 7, 2023 Page 6 Sidewalks Sidewalks are shown as required along all the public street frontages of Walker Road and Mont Blanc Boulevard. There is a multi-use path along Saulsbury Road. There are also connections into the site from Walker Road on the north and Saulsbury Road on the east. There is sidewalk connection and striped path being shown from Mont Blanc Boulevard on the Revised Exhibit Sheet. The sidewalk shown in the right-of-way of Walker Road and Saulsbury Road does not show a connection with the pedestrian crossing at the intersection. There are no barrier free access ramps or other similar ADA compliant features being shown where sidewalks or multi-use paths intersect with roadways and parking areas. VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE The submission includes the requisite Architectural Elevation drawings (three renderings submitted at time of application: aerial view northeast from parking area towards both buildings, a similarly angled view at ground level, and a view looking down the sidewalk running east/west between the building but with the direction not identified). The Applicant has also submitted a black/white series of drawings showing façade elevations and the floorplans. These drawings identify the east, south, west, and north elevations but do not specify any differences between the two proposed buildings. For each building, the applicants are proposing a two story building with a flat roof. The primary entrance to each building is located on the west elevation facing the parking lot. The entrance is covered by a canopy structure which is suspended from the façade above the main entrance and extends outwards over the drop-off area. It appears that both buildings are faced in light colored panels at ground level on all four sides. The material of these panels is not identified but the renderings would suggest them to be of masonry. The second story of both buildings is comprised of red/orange masonry on all four elevations. All four elevations of both buildings comprise a series of unarticulated, rectangular windows place evenly throughout. The primary entrance on the west elevation again contains a canopy suspended over the main entrance, with larger rectangular windows shown directly above said canopy. There are also doors shown with canopies on the north and south elevations of each building. This building is subject to the Architectural Review requirements found in Article 3 §27.69 for properties located within the Corridor Overlay Zone. This section of code reflects the amendments adopted November 13, 2006. See text below. 27.69 Architectural Review. The side of any building which faces the corridor (or corridors) shall be referred to as the "corridor elevation." Buildings in the COZ-1 shall be designed to front on the corridor, and the corridor elevation shall contain architectural elements traditionally associated with the front of a building. Blank walls without functioning windows are prohibited along the corridor. Windows must be incorporated into the overall design concept of the corridor elevation. Providing one or several small windows on a large corridor elevation shall not constitute 102

Page 103

Item 4. S-23-15 Walker Road Professional Center Medical Buildings DAC Report – July 7, 2023 Page 7 compliance with this ordinance. A “functioning window” shall be defined as a window which lets light into the interior of the structure, and is integrated and related to the interior layout of the space. In addition to functioning windows, the corridor elevation shall have the following elements: a) A primary entrance door or doors (except for loading doors). b) A primary entrance feature, such as a porch, portico, awning, entrance walk, or other similar feature. In addition, the corridor elevation shall have one of the following elements: a) Landscaping integrated into the building design concept. b) Architectural or urban design elements which link adjacent structures together, such as plazas, walkways, colonnades, or similar features. c) Architectural relief, such as vertical and horizontal off-sets in exterior wall elevations, band courses, lintels and sill courses, cornices and the like to create shadow lines. As currently proposed, the corridor elevation of this building includes an extensive number of windows which qualify as functioning windows. The elevation drawings appear to show that the east elevations facing Saulsbury Road present similarly to the west elevations, in that a canopy is suspended outwards from the main façade over larger windows which mimic the effect of a building entrance; however, the Plans suggest no formal entrance being proposed. The plan as submitted does show trees being planted on the east side of the proposed buildings; however, there does not appear to be any smaller trees, shrubbery or other such landscape features being provided on this elevation. VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN The submitted plan sheet set includes the requisite Landscaping Plan elements. Based on the total site area of 113,910 S.F., thirty-eight (38) trees would be required. Thirty-six (36) tree plantings are proposed, with the Applicant noting that there are two (2) existing trees on site which are to be retained for thirty-eight (38) total trees. The trees identified to be planted include a mix of Red Maple, River Birch, Eastern Redbud, Linden, and Crape Myrtle, as well a Southern Magnolia Tree. These tree planting locations should maintain appropriate separation distances from utility lines. The Zoning Ordinance, Article 3, Section 27.67 sets out the requirements for Open Space and Landscaping in the COZ-1. This includes the requirement that at a minimum 25% of the site consist of landscaping and landscaped parking areas. For this site, the Cover Sheet of the Plans submitted note a proposed Lot Coverage of 68%, leaving 32% of the overall lot area to meet the landscaped open space requirements. Article 3 §27.63(c) requires a landscaped buffer area of twelve (12) feet in width between the building and the parking lot or drive areas and also a six (6) foot wide sidewalk; this is shown on the Plan. The COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone –1) includes specific tree planting requirements along property lines. One tree per fifty feet of frontage is required. This property with a frontage of 270 ft. +/- on Saulsbury Road would require five (5) trees. One tree per 75 feet is required on the 103

Page 104

Item 4. S-23-15 Walker Road Professional Center Medical Buildings DAC Report – July 7, 2023 Page 8 non-frontage perimeters for a total of five (5) trees on the north property line by Walker Road, four (4) trees on the west property line by Mont Blanc Boulevard, and four (4) trees on the south property line. The Plans submitted make no reference to this tree planting requirement. This parcel is across the street (Mont Blanc Boulevard) from residentially zoned parcels of land (R-8 zoning). Article 6 §5.43 and Article 5 §7.23 note the same requirements for parking lots near residential zones. These code sections require the following: 7.23 Parking Lots. Whenever a parking lot is located across the street from a residential use, it shall be screened from view of such land by a thick hedge located along a line drawn parallel to the street, such hedge to be interrupted only at points of ingress and egress and to meet the corner visibility standards of appendix B, zoning, article 5, supplementary regulations, section 1.31. The open area between such hedge and the street shall be landscaped in harmony with the landscaping prevailing on neighboring properties fronting on the same street. The hedge shall be at least two feet in height at the time of planting and shall grow to no more than four feet in height at the time of maturity. While the hedge is growing to a suitable height, an adjacent four foot high fence may be required by either the planning commission or city planner, according to the type of review required by appendix B, zoning, article 10, planning commission. The landscape design includes the planting of evergreen shrubs immediately adjacent to the parking spaces where the series of parking spaces results in vehicles parking facing the residential zone. The Zoning Ordinance Article 3, Section 27.63 (d)(ii) requires that when parking is facing onto the roadway of an adjacent public right-of-way, low profile screening shall be required. Said Screening may consist of a low wall, evergreen hedge with a minimum height of two feet at the time of planting, planted three feet apart on center, and a maximum height of three feet at maturity, or earth berm. The Plans submitted do not show any such feature being provided along the Walker Road frontage of the property. As earlier referenced under Section VI regarding Building Architecture, the provisions of the COZ-1 overlay require landscaping integrated into the building design concept as an option for compliance with regards to the corridor frontage of Saulsbury Road. While there are tree planting shown along this property line, there is no shrubbery, or other ornamental plantings identified to achieve comply with this standard. 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. 1) Waiver Request: Loading Berths: The Applicant will need to provide one (1) loading berth for each of the two (2) proposed buildings (total of 2) unless a Waiver from this requirement is granted by the Planning Commission. 2) Minimum Number of Dumpster Required: The Applicant is required to provide a minimum 104

Item 4. S-23-15 Walker Road Professional Center Medical Buildings DAC Report – July 7, 2023 Page 9 of four (4) dumpsters on site. It appears that only two (2) dumpsters are being proposed. The Letter of Clarification notes that they will reserve a location for the additional 2 required Dumpsters. 3) Confirmation of the dimensions of the parking islands and medians with minimum requirements. The Exhibit Sheet; Revised Plan begins to identify the dimensions of all such features on the Plan to ensure that they comply with the COZ-1 Overlay provisions. Parking Islands are required to be a minimum of 10 feet in width, and Parking Medians are required to be at least 8 feet wide. 4) Correct the Plans to show that the property is subject to front yard setback requirements of the C-PO (Commercial and Professional Office Zone) along the Walker Road and Mont Blanc Boulevard frontages. Note the actual setback in the Site Data Column and depict on the Site Plan. 5) Remove any reference or note on the Plan that states “30’ rear setback,” as the rear setback provisions will not apply to any property line on this site. 6) Provide a Details Plan Sheet that includes information on the Dumpster Enclosure (dimensions, materials, gates, etc.), upright curbing, as well as any other relevant site features. 7) Cover Sheet (PL-01): a) The Data Column: i) Correct the Proposed Land Use to read “Professional Office (Medical Offices)” ii) For Utility Providers, the City of Dover does not provide Gas. Chesapeake Utilities would be the Gas provider. iii) Under Item #12, Confirm the FEMA Panel Number, and date. iv) Under Item #18, note all components of the bulk standards, and list as “Required” and “Proposed,” differentiating between those that are standards of the C-PO Zone, and those that are standards of the COZ-1 Overlay. v) The Front Yard Setback for the COZ-1 is a minimum 40 feet and a maximum 50 feet. Correct the notes accordingly. vi) The Front Yard Setback for non COZ-1 road frontages (Mont Blanc Boulevard and Walker Road is per the C-PO bulk standards, which requires a minimum 10-foot front yard setback. vii) Clarify the reference to the “Corner Setback.” viii) Correct the Parking Calculations. The two buildings combined would total 39,600 Sf, yet the figure 33,660 is given. The minimum required number of parking spaces would therefore be 132, not 113. ix) Correct the note regarding Loading Zone to instead read “Loading Berths,” and note that the requirement is one (1) Loading Berth per building (2 total). x) Note the required Lot Coverage provisions of both the C-PO (maximum Lot Coverage is 75%), and the COZ-1 (minimum Landscaped Open Space requirement of 25%). xi) Provide an overview of the Tree Planting Calculations. xii) Provide the square footage of each building, as well as combined. 105

Item 4. S-23-15 Walker Road Professional Center Medical Buildings DAC Report – July 7, 2023 Page 11 10) Refer to the requirements for the internal site linkages from Mont Blanc Boulevard to the front of the Office Building. The Exhibit Sheet: Revised Plan appears to have started to resolve this requirement. Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §18.3(c) On-site linkages, states: Within all nonresidential developments and all multifamily residential developments, sidewalk at least five feet wide, constructed of concrete or good paving brick laid substantially in concrete, shall be installed to make pathways between street frontages, parking areas, building entrances, and any other site features needing pedestrian access. Such pathways shall be designed to provide reasonable travel times between these features and disincentivize taking shortcuts across areas inappropriate for pedestrians. Where such pathways must cross drive lanes, standard City of Dover crosswalk shall be installed. 11) Confirm the method of trash collection as private or City service. Eligibility for City trash collection will be determined by the Public Works Department. 12) Include a note on the Plans that any signs shown on the plan are subject to the City of Dover Sign Provisions as found in Article 5, Section 4 of the Zoning Ordinance, and will require a separate sign permit application process. 13) Any Erosion & Sediment Control Plans and Stormwater Management Plans granted approval by Kent Conservation District (KCD) 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. 14) The Final Plan set must include notes documenting any action taken by the Planning Commission 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 intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed in subsections 2.21 to 2.28. 1) Waiver Request: Loading Berths: Planning Staff recommends approval of the Waiver Request as submitted by the Applicant to reduce the number of loading berths required, and instead allow for the two drop-off points to be utilized for deliveries. The type of use proposed for each building (medical offices) would generally not likely require larger scale shipments/ deliveries. As stated in the Waiver Request Letter, the buildings would most likely expect “small box” deliveries which could be delivered using the aforementioned drop-off areas. There is one (1) such area at the front of each building, 107

Page 108

Item 4. S-23-15 Walker Road Professional Center Medical Buildings DAC Report – July 7, 2023 Page 12 and they allow for any vehicle to exit the drive aisle and not be in the way of any regular traffic movement. Planning Staff would agree that this would be sufficient for the intended uses. 2) Pedestrian Connections: Staff recommended improvements to the pedestrian connection from Mont Blanc Boulevard to the front of the proposed Office Buildings. The Exhibit Sheet; Revised Plan shows a sidewalk and pathway from Mont Blanc Boulevard at the ends of the parking aisles leading across the parking lot and to the front of the buildings which would give pedestrians an identified route though the parking area. This connection point would also connect to the sidewalk running between the two buildings and connecting through to the sidewalk in right-of-way along South Saulsbury Road, giving pedestrian access through the Site from east to west. 3) Dumpster Location: The current proposed location of the Dumpster Enclosure is very prominently situated at the corner of Mont Blanc Boulevard and Walker Road. The Letter of Clarification notes the Dumpster Enclosure will be of brick and also include landscaping to be placed so as to screen the Dumpster Enclosure from the public -right of way of both roads. It was suggested to look to at options relocate the Dumpster further south on the site, and away from Mont Blanc Boulevard; however, Staff recognizes the Applicant’s documentation that the location of utilities and necessary positioning of the unit for pick-up limits other options. X. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1) The use of the tenant spaces within the proposed building are subject to compliance with the permitted uses and other regulations of the CPO (Commercial Professional Office) zoning district and other provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. 2) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Site Plan occur in the finalization of the Site Plan contact the Department of Planning and Inspections. Examples include reorientation of building, relocation of site components like stormwater management areas, 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 regards to the plan. 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) Following Planning Commission approval of the Site 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 may be submitted for final endorsement. 108

Item 4. S-23-15 Walker Road Professional Center Medical Buildings DAC Report – July 7, 2023 Page 13 5) The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any ground disturbing activities on the site the appropriate site inspections and permits are required. 6) Construction will 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. 7) The applicant shall be aware that Site 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 shall require a Sign Permit from the City of Dover prior to placement of any such sign. 8) The applicant shall be aware that 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. 9) With a proposal for two buildings on this property, the applicant is advised that separate addresses will need to be arranged for each building. You will need to consult with the Tax Assessor/ GIS Office regarding the assignment of address numbers for each building. 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. 109

Item 4. CITY OF DOVER Dover/Kent DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE County Metropolitan APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY Planning D.A.C. MEETING DATE: 6/28/2023 Organization APPLICATION: Walker Road Professional Center Medical Buildings @ 101 Mont Blanc Blvd. FILE #: S-23-15 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 7/17/2023 Project Review This site is at the juncture of Saulsbury Road and McKee Road at Walker Road. The MPO was asked by DelDOT to study the potential expansion of the full Saulsbury-McKee-POW/MIA Parkway corridor. The MPO worked with Century Engineering on developing alternatives and a plan. The preferred alternatives was a cross section that included a center turn lane. There were two alternatives developed that included a center turn lane, Option 1 and Option 3. Both propose a Shared Use Path on the East side, but Option 3 only proposes a sidewalk on the West side, while Option 1 proposed a full Shared Use Path on the West side. Option 3 proposed the most ROW-consuming option, to include full 10 feet shoulders on both sides of the road. Those alternatives were expected to require between $1.5 million and $2 million in right-of- way costs. A copy of the presentation by Century Engineering describing the study and alternatives is on the MPO website. Specific ROW needs at the site are not available in any of the materials from the study and will be determined if the project is accepted, funded and has the Preliminary Engineering completed. 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. 127

Item 5. City of Dover CITY OF DOVER Planning Office DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY D.A.C. MEETING DATE: July 7, 2023 APPLICATION: Lands of Rojan Meadows at 1542 & 1554 North Little Creek Road: Minor Subdivision FILE #: SB-23-02 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 to subdivide two (2) existing properties consisting overall of 35,592 SF +/- (0.817 acres +/-) into four (4) new properties for development of one-family detached dwellings. From west to east, Lots 1 & 2 are proposed to be 8,890 SF each, and Lots 3 & 4 are proposed to consist of 8,901 SF each. An easement is proposed with a drive-aisle across the southern portion of all four properties for vehicle access from Rojan Road (proposed street), with no access from North Little Creek Road. The parcels subject to this Minor Subdivision Application lay on the south side of North Little Creek Road, across from the southern terminus of Nicholas Drive. The two (2) subject properties are zoned RG-1 (General Residence Zone) and are currently undeveloped. The owner of record for the two (2) subject properties is Rojan Meadows, LLC. Current Property Addresses: 1542 & 1554 North Little Creek Road. Tax Parcel Numbers: ED-05-068.20-01-57.00-000 and ED-05-068.20-01- 58.00-000. Council District 2. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION – Minor Subdivision This Minor Subdivision Plan proposes to subdivide the two (2) existing lots into four (4) new lots. The two existing parcels all have frontage along North Little Creek Road. See the following Table for summary of the lots. Site Existing Proposed Description Acreage Acreage Lot 1 8,901 SF 8.890 SF Existing Lot: Adjust Parcel Size Lot 2 26,691 SF 8,890 SF Existing Lot: Reduced Parcel Size and Subdivide Lot 3 8,901 SF New Parcel to be created Lot 4 8,901 SF New Parcel to be created TOTAL 35,592 SF 35,582 SF* *Need to recheck lot sizes. As noted in the Summary Table, the two (2) existing lots are currently vacant (undeveloped) with the previous structures having been demolished. All existing or proposed new lots have frontages 141

Item 5. SB-23-02 Lands of Rojan Meadows at 1542 &1554 North Little Creek Road. Minor Subdivision Plan DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 2 on North Little Creek Road; however, the main points of access to the properties will be a private drive/driveway that extends east from Rojan Road. Rojan Road is a proposed street in the Rojan Meadows PND Subdivision that is under construction. There is a driveway in an easement across the rear of the proposed Lots. III. SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS REVIEW The procedures for subdivision of land are found in the Land Subdivision Regulations, (Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix A). 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 properties, 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, lot coverage, etc. See also discussion below under Zoning Review. IV. ZONING REVIEW RG-1 Zoning District The property is zoned RG-1 (General Residence Zone) and is subject to the regulations of Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §2 and Article 4 §4.2. The use of each proposed lot a one-family detached dwelling-unit (single-family home) is a permitted use in the RG-1 Zone. The following Table highlights some of the lot design standards for the RG-1 zone: Minimum Required RG-1 (General Residence Zone) One-Family Detached Dwelling Unit Lot area (sq. ft.) 6,000 Lot width (ft.) 50 Lot depth (ft.) 100 Front yard 15 Minimum side yard (ft.) 5 Rear yard (ft.) 30 Off-street parking spaces/DU 1 Maximum Permitted Building Height: Stories 2½ Feet 35 Lot Coverage 45% All four (4) proposed new lots for development appear to comply with the bulk standards of the RG-1 zone for one-family detached dwelling units (single family homes). Any proposed development of the lots will be evaluated again for compliance with RG-1 zoning district and the bulk standards as provided in Article 4, Section §4.2 of the Zoning Ordinance upon submittal of Building Permits for construction of each dwelling. 142

Page 143

Item 5. SB-23-02 Lands of Rojan Meadows at 1542 &1554 North Little Creek Road. Minor Subdivision Plan DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 3 Infill Standards The Zoning Ordinance Article 5 §1.12 provides standards which apply to the development of infill lots which are lots which lie within a developed area. Specifically, these standards require that all such lots provide a sidewalk along the public street frontage, added landscaping, and additional requirements for the design of the primary façade. These lots include sidewalks along the street frontage of North Little Creek Road. The added requirements for landscaping and the primary façade will be evaluated when development of the lots occurs. V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS Site Access While each of the four lots has frontage on North Little Creek Road, no direct access will be taken from this street. Instead, a private drive leading across the rear portion of each lot is proposed. The drive is placed within an easement area of 40 feet that also include utility services and drainage. The details of this easement must be defined as multiple parties are involved. A note on the plan indicates that the private drive will be maintained by the Rojan Meadows HOA. Waiver Request: Elimination of Upright Curbing for Shared Driveway The Zoning Ordinance requires that parking lots and street include upright curbing. Driveways for one family residences do not require upright curbing. The provisions are unclear as to the requirements for a private drive serving multiple lots. The applicant has submitted a written Waiver Request for consideration by the City Planner to eliminate the upright curbing along the shared driveway citing needs for managing stormwater drainage in the area. Sidewalk There is proposed sidewalk along the North Little Creek Road frontage of the entire series of lots and also a proposed sidewalk along the east side of Rojan Road (west side of Lot 1). These sidewalks are proposed for construction with Rojan Meadows PND Subdivision. VI. TREE AND LANDSCAPE PLANTING The tree preservation, tree planting and landscaping requirements are subject principally to the regulations found in Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Sections 15 and 16. The tree planting requirements are a rate of one tree per 3,00 SF of development area. Based on the development area of 35, 592 SF the project to develop these four lots would require the planting twelve (12) trees. The Plan indicated one existing tree (on Lot 2) and the concept to plant twelve (12) trees as part of the construction of dwellings on the Lots. This would entail planting of at least three (3) trees per lot. VII. ACTIVE RECREATION REQUIREMENTS Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §10 requires the reservation of open space, recreation, and other public facilities as a condition of approval for one-family dwelling residential developments requiring land subdivision approval by the City of Dover Planning Commission. The applicant is required to provide 275 SF of Active Recreation Area per dwelling unit or one-half acre, whichever is greater. Since the proposed subdivision is less than 5 acres and 10 dwelling units there is an exemption. The developer may instead make a cash donation in lieu of the requirements for providing dedicated land area for an Active Recreation Area. The amount of the donation shall be the equivalent of ten percent of the appraised value of gross land area. The 143

Page 144

Item 5. SB-23-02 Lands of Rojan Meadows at 1542 &1554 North Little Creek Road. Minor Subdivision Plan DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 4 donation will be deposited in a separate account (City’s Parkland Reserve Fund) to be used for parks, playgrounds, or recreational purposes. Planning Staff also notes that as this project is adjacent to and owned by the developer of the Rojan Meadows PND Subdivision, the compliance with the Active Recreation Area requirements may also be potentially met by the Active Recreation Area already proposed by that subdivision if its provided area can satisfy the requirements for four (4) additional lots. These Lots would also have to be part of the Rojan Meadows HOA. Additional research is needed to confirm compliance in this manner; the applicant has indicated this as the preferred approach to compliance with the Active Recreation Areas requirements. VII. 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) In the Data Column: Item #11: Continue to list full name of the zoning district as RG-1 (General Residence Zone) 2) Sheet 1: a. For References to Lots 1-4, clarification or secondary identifier may be necessary to distinguish these Lots 1-4 from existing Lots 1-4 already part of the Rojan Meadows Subdivision. A suggestion is referring to them at Lots 1A- 4A. b. Add references to existing recorded documents of Rojan Meadows and the process for amending them to include these Lots. c. In Private Drive Section detail, clarify arrow and label “to residence”. The arrow appears to mean drainage but may be confused with the position of the residence/house. d. Check total size of existing and proposed lots. The tallies given total to 35,592 SF (existing) and 35,582SF (proposed). e. In purpose statement (box” clarify that there will be a resulting total of 4 lots. f. Clarify label of “existing easement for alley.” g. Clarify if the shared property line between Lot 1 and Lot 2 is being adjusted with this plan. h. Label tax parcel numbers of adjacent Open Space Lot. i. Revise label of Rojan Road and Alley A as “to be dedicated to public use.” These streets/alleys are not maintained by the City of Dover until constructed to City standards and formally accepted for dedication. 3) Check existing design of curbing and sidewalk along Rojan Road as other existing/proposed curb cuts planned to serve Lot 1 will need to be revised and the new location of the shred driveway curb cut established to include accessible ramps. 4) Sheet 2: a. This appears to be the Construction Plan. There may be additional details required. b. The Standard Water/Wastewater Notes and Requirements appear to repeat some of the Notes listed in the Water Utility notes columns. Revise. c. Clarify if there are a separate set of notes for the Wastewater services design as it is a 144

Page 145

Item 5. SB-23-02 Lands of Rojan Meadows at 1542 &1554 North Little Creek Road. Minor Subdivision Plan DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 5 different provider than the Water services. d. Confirm placement of the water and sanitary sewer laterals as this is not the standard placement. 5) Add notation regarding the requirements for infill development standards (sidewalks, landscaping, and primary entry feature or porch). 4) Active Recreation: Clarify the option used to provide Active Recreation Area compliance: Cash-in-Lieu od Recreation Area Construction or participation with Rojan Meadows PND Subdivision Active Recreation Area. The applicant notes that participation with the Rojan Meadows PND Subdivision is the selected method of compliance. 5) The Final Plan set must include notes documenting any action taken by the Planning Commission and must list any additional conditions of approval. 6) The Record Plan Sheet must document and identify any existing and proposed easements for cross access, utilities, drainage, etc. associated with the subdivision of these lots. 7) The Final Record Plat submission must include requirements described in Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix A: Land Subdivision Regulations, Article IV, C. Plat, and any additional requirements of the Planning Commission. 8) The formal Record Plan will need to be recorded upon completion of the approval process with any corrections identified by the reviewing agencies. VIII. 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 four (4) lots out of the existing two (2) parcels, The two (2) existing lots are currently vacant, as the previous residential have been demolished. The Subdivision Plan generally appears to comply with the Land Subdivision Regulations and bulk standards of the RG-1 Zone. 2) Waiver Request: Elimination of Upright Curbing for Shared Driveway: Planning Staff grants approval of the waiver request to eliminate the upright curbing of the shared driveway in order to address sheet flow drainage in this area. This will also have an appearance of a residential driveway or alley format. 3) Private Driveway Serving Four Lots: Planning Staff notes that the development of a private driveway to serve four lots is unusual but does not appear to be specifically prohibited. This format will require specific notations on the Record Plan (and Deeds) to establish the 145

Page 146

Item 5. SB-23-02 Lands of Rojan Meadows at 1542 &1554 North Little Creek Road. Minor Subdivision Plan DAC Report of July 5, 2023 Page 6 easement and the future care and maintenance responsibilities. Adjustments to the design may be necessary to include a turnaround, add traffic control measures, etc. In the alternative, the developer could consider an alternative design that would establish this as right-of-way for a wide alley to interconnect with Alley A of the Rojan Meadows PND Subdivision. 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. IX. 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) Any future development of Lots 1-4 for residential use must comply with all zoning provisions of the RG-1 (General Residence Zone). Development must also comply with the provisions regarding Infill Development as found in the Zoning Ordinance Article 5, Section 1.12. It is noted too that development on Lots 1-4 must connect to public water and wastewater services. For this development (like Rojan Meadows PND Subdivision), the City of Dover is the water provider and Kent County is the wastewater services provider. 5) The applicant shall be aware that Minor Subdivision Plan approval does not represent a site development approval, a Building Permit, and associated construction activity permits. A separate application process is required for review and approvals for development activity 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. 146

Item 5. June 2, 2023 City of Dover Planning Department P.O. Box 475 Dover, DE 19903-0475 Attn: Dawn Melson-Williams, AICP RE: Lands of Rojan Meadows, LLC Minor Subdivision Plan – Cover Letter Tax Map No: ED-05-068.20-01-5700 & 5800 1554 N Little Creek Road Dear Ms. Melson-Williams: On behalf of our client, Rojan Meadows, LLC; we request a waiver from the requirement found under the Zoning Ordinance, Article 6, Section 3.6(B) to curb the private drive for the proposed lots. We propose to superelevate the private drive and allow stormwater to sheet flow off the pavement and into a grassed swale before it enters a closed system stormwater management system. Elimination of the curbing prevents the concentration of stormwater runoff from the private drive and the proposed lots and will provide the environmental benefit of improved water quality and infiltration. Please call me if you have any questions or concerns at (302) 841-7901.
