PURSUANT TO 29 DEL. C. §10004(e)(2), THIS AGENDA IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE TO INCLUDE THE ADDITION OR THE DELETION OF ITEMS, INCLUDING EXECUTIVE SESSIONS, WHICH ARISE AT THE TIME OF THE MEETING 3

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 The Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Monday, September 18, 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. Cooper, Mr. Roach (virtual), Mrs. Denney, Mr. Hartman, Mr. Baldwin, Dr. Jones, Mrs. Welsh, and Mrs. Maucher. Mrs. Malone has completed her service; choosing not to be reappointed. A new Commission member has not been appointed. Staff members present were Mrs. Mary Ellen Gray, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Julian Swierczek, and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Mrs. Welsh moved to approve the Agenda as submitted, seconded by Mr. Baldwin and the motion was carried 8-0. APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES OF JULY 17, 2023 Mrs. Welsh moved to approve the Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of July 17, 2023, seconded by Dr. Jones and the motion was unanimously carried 8-0. COMMUNICATIONS & REPORTS Mrs. Gray provided an update on the regular City Council and various Committee meetings held on July 24 & 25, 2023, August 14 & 15, 2023, August 28 & 29, 2023; and September 11 & 12, 2023. Mrs. Gray stated that at an upcoming City Council meeting on September 25, 2023, there will be a number of Proclamations. There are many things in October, but one of the things in October is Community Planning Month. There will be a proclamation on September 25, 2023 declaring that to be Community Planning Month and she invites everyone to come to that meeting. All of the Proclamations are right at the beginning of the meeting to accept the Proclamation. In the past, this has been given to the Planning Department Head. She feels that this should be given to everybody who does planning and that includes the Planning Commission. She also inviting members of the State Planning Office as well. Summary of 2023 Applications Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that for the Summary of 2023 Applications included in your packet was a chart that tracks all types of applications that we process for the various Boards and Commissions for the City of Dover. The tally is through the September meetings of the Boards and Commissions; so, we are basically ¾ of the way through 2023. This is just an overall running tally and you can do some comparison to years past. At this point, we are trending slightly higher than 2022 in the overall application count. Keep in mind that not all of the applications listed here appear before the Planning Commission. We do track the Board of Adjustment and the Historic District Commission items on this chart as well. The total number of Site Plans is also slightly less because some of those Site Plans are administrative fillings that have a Staff and Agency review only and is not subject to a public hearing in front of the 1 4

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 Planning Commission. This just gives you a sense of kind of where you are count wise. She would be happy to answer any questions that you may have about this tally. We will give it to you again when we get to year-end. So, they will report back to the Commission in January 2024. Summary of Ordinances 2019-2023 Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that when looking at it, she realized that they hadn’t done it in a number of years and that is the Summary of Ordinances. This Chart lists the Ordinances that were Text Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance primarily in the calendar years 2019-2023 that have actually had action taken on them. Over the years, we have made some changes in the IPM- 2 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone), and the Business and Technology Center, the RG-O (General Residence and Office Zone). There was the Text Amendment a couple of years ago that basically re-wrote our Wireless Communications Facilities Ordinance. There were some changes again in the SC-3 (Shopping Center Development Zone), the M (Manufacturing Zone) and the IPM-2 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone) again. As Mrs. Gray mentioned, we do have one that is forthcoming with the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) for a minor amendment. But this just gives you a sense of what you have seen over the past few years. It gives the Text Amendment, the actual Ordinance Number and when it was adopted. She will note that they are working on another ordinance related to the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone). That is one of their projects activities that is listed as the next item on the agenda. As a result of the Downtown Strategic Master Plan, there has been a working group of Staff and some other parties looking at our Downtown zoning districts which is primarily the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone). In conjunction with that Master Plan, we are looking to see if there is any potential changes that we need to bring forward related to that zone in the intended uses. That project is ongoing and we expect to do some stakeholder activity and do some other gatherings before presenting some concepts for consideration to see if we are headed in the right direction on the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) and then also to formally begin the review process for those Text Amendments. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the other ordinance related project that they anticipate hopefully finding some time to work on, is the Airport Environs Overlay Zone which is related to flight activities at Dover Air Force Base. As part of the Compatible Use Study that the City was an active participant in on the Technical Review Committee. And ultimately the review of that study document. It encourages us to look at the regulations related to our Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ). The Department of Defense has issued some updated guidance on Air Installation Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ). In that document, there are some suggestions that they may be looking to incorporate into our local code and ordinance here. In order to do that, that is another Text Amendment project that they would anticipate hopefully moving forward in the next six months. So, there are two Ordinance Projects at least on our table at the moment that would be forthcoming to the Commission eventually. OPENING REMARKS CONCERNING DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS Mrs. Melson-Williams presented the audience information on policies and procedures for the In- Person Meeting and Virtual Meeting using the WebEx system.

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 Requests for Extensions of Planning Commission Approval: None Other Items Appointment for the Architectural Review Oversight Subcommittee of Planning Commission (in accordance with Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.28): Update on Design Professionals Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that at the July Meeting, the Commission took action to establish that Mrs. Welsh and Mr. Roach would be serving as the two Planning Commission members of the Architectural Review Oversight Subcommittee for the Planning Commission in addition to the Mayor or his designee. That Committee is rounded out with membership of two design professionals. Those design professionals that you suggested Staff reach out to were the two individuals that have served previously to get their ability to continue such service. Planning Staff did reach out to Dr. R.J. Chandler who is a faculty member of the Architecture Program at Delaware Technical and Community College and also to Ms. Sarah Keifer who is the Director of Planning Services at Kent County. Both individuals did express their willingness to continue serving on the Subcommittee. Dr. Jones moved to approve that Dr. R.J. Chandler and Ms. Sarah Keifer continue as members on the Architectural Review Oversight Subcommittee of the Planning Commission, seconded by Mrs. Welsh and the motion carried 8-0 by voice vote. NEW APPLICATIONS - None NEW BUSINESS - None WORKSHOP SESSION Review of and Revisions to By-Laws of the Dover Planning Commission Discussion of Development of Planning Commission Rules of Procedures Mrs. Gray stated that she and Mrs. Maucher have been discussing some possible workshop items. The Planning Commission has a set of By-Laws and looking at them. The last time that they were reviewed and updated was 2011. She thinks that it would be a good time to look at our By-Laws and then also to look to see whether there is some opportunity or some thoughts in looking at the By-Laws to update. And also, to see whether it would be a helpful thing to also articulate a set of Rules of Procedure. Rules of Procedure from her perspective, they are how you run the meeting. In order to help the dialogue, she looked at some other planning boards like Newark, Kent County, and New Castle County. She pulled their Rules of Procedure and By- Laws to see if there are some good things. She saw some common things in reading through those; so, she thought it would be kind of helpful to look through those. The first question would be, does the Planning Commission wish to review and perhaps update the By-Laws? And if that’s the case, she thinks that a general discussion would be helpful. Another question would be, does the Planning Commission wish to establish a set of Rules of Procedure? She thinks it might 3 6

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 be helpful. She would be happy to help out on this but to maybe establish a working committee to hash those things out or to bring back a revised draft after discussion tonight of whatever the pleasure of the Planning Commission is regarding those questions. Mrs. Maucher stated that she will open for the By-Laws since it’s been twelve years since they have been reviewed. She thinks that it is good as a practicing body to take a look at our By-Laws to see what they say, if they need to be updated, and are they being kept current in times. The Rules of Procedure are particularly of importance to her because they have had some meetings that have evolved a little bit and there was a little bit of a struggle. She thinks that it is important to have clear rules that we as Planning Commissioners understand and that the public can also understand or that they can at least point the public to as to why we are doing what we are doing. Mr. Hartman stated that this is a discussion and he believes that the Rules of Procedure involve a discussion like in the City of Newark. He thinks a discussion before the motion is made is very important. He also supports looking at the By-Laws and changing it to the gender neutral language for one thing. The question for Planning Staff is, can the By-Laws and the Rules of Procedure be included into one document to avoid conflicts or do they need to be two documents? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Gray stated that she thinks having two separate documents would be better to not have a conflict. She thinks that if they are merged into one that might create a conflict. Mrs. Denney agrees that they should be separate. Mr. Hartman stated that just reading the City of Newark’s Public Hearing Rules of Procedure, he thinks he knows what you are speaking of earlier about the evolution of some meetings. The discussions about agenda items in the City of Newark’s procedures, the public comment, and especially the conduct of the public while they are speaking, he thinks those are important to consider for our Rules of Procedure if we develop them. Mrs. Welsh stated that she noticed when reading through these, some of the procedures particularly about public comment, such as Item #1 about time and also about a consensus so that there is not twelve people saying the same thing repeatedly during the meetings. She will kind of throw in her own personal view. We used to really do those things. They were always mentioned in previous meetings probably five or six years ago as part of the meeting procedures. She doesn’t know that they were actually written down. She is assuming that’s where we are kind of going with this issue, is to have them written down. They were just part of the general meeting procedures of how we were conducting the meeting and maybe not necessarily information that the public would have had prior to the meeting. So, that would be helpful she thinks. Mrs. Denney stated that most of you know that she chairs the Board of Adjustment for Kent County. They use Mason’s Rules and it works very well. What they do at the beginning of the meeting is they make everybody aware of a limited time. It can be at the discretion of the Chair to allow an extension of time. In some cases, you have to. You have some cases where two or three lawyers speak. So, they do allow that from time to time, but it’s at the discretion of the Chair and/or the Board. Sometimes the board members will look over at her and ask her to let them continue or get them to stop. She thinks that it is important to be able to do that for a lot of 4 7

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 different reasons. She also believes that it’s important for us to limit the amount of time that somebody can comment because otherwise we would be there until midnight. It just gets to be too much. The other issue that comes up from time to time, especially if it’s what she calls “the pack the room controversy” that happens from time to time. You will have people who have gathered everybody in the neighborhood and the next three neighborhoods down and everybody gets up and makes the same comment. They will listen to a few of those and then at some point, they will make a decision, which is generally at the discretion of the Chair or the Board members. In those instances, they will often say anyone who has the same feelings and the same comments please raise your hand. The minutes will then indicate a number. For example “thirty- five people in the audience raised their hands to yes.” They will then ask again for anyone who opposes. That really saves a lot of time at the meeting. She is always careful to mention that if somebody has anything to say different, then absolutely we want them to speak up. That was hard for her in the beginning because she really doesn’t feel that it is appropriate for us to not allow everyone to speak at a public hearing. That is what we are there for, but that is a suggestion of how we handle it at Kent County. Mrs. Maucher stated that she has been to public hearings like that before where they have done that. She agrees.She is very reluctant to stop or interfere with public comment but if it’s the same thing over and over again. As to timing, it is hard to say that you only have five minutes if that wasn’t announced at the meeting and there is nothing to point to that says you have so many minutes. So, she thinks the ways that the meetings are conducted need to be laid out very clearly so that we are all on the same page. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Denney stated that theirs is for the County and it is on the notification. When the notification goes out for the public and published in the paper and then of course at the beginning of the meeting, they read all of this. It does say that there is a limit so that you are not blindsiding someone. The other thing that she meant to add was that their Counsel is present and people giving testimony need to state their name and address and be sworn. Mrs. Maucher stated that she thinks she saw that in one of the minutes. Is that going to dissuade people from speaking in the public? She would have to think about that and probably have some opinion from Counsel because it is public comments, it’s not evidence. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Denney stated that she should correct herself. That is if you are getting up to speak for or against somebody, then you have to be sworn. They are very adamant and they mention that they don’t want any discussion about acrimony. That doesn’t take place; that’s not what they are there for. If they are going to give testimony for or against something, they are sworn. But again, we have Council present at every meeting. Dr. Jones stated that she wants to repeat what has already been said but she does also believe that perhaps we should consider a time for our speakers. She is even thinking a limit on the perspective of a concern. For example, two or three people speaking for and two or three people speaking against. She thinks we have done something like that in the past instead of having members of the public get up and repeat the very same thing. Also, she agrees that they need to clean up the gender references in the By-Laws. One other thing, whatever we do, her suggestion would be that the public can view these documents. For instance, in our By-Laws of the Planning Commission, Section 1, she believes that we should take a little bit more space and time to spell out what is set forth in Chapter 7 Title 22 of the Delaware Code for people who are coming in 5 8

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 and need to understand. Those are her thoughts in terms of purpose because it has been her understanding that there are a lot of people who really don’t understand the purpose of the Planning Commission. She thinks it would cut down on some of the anxiety and issues that we have. Mrs. Welsh stated that she agrees with Dr. Jones’ comment. Mrs. Denney stated she agrees as well. Mrs. Maucher stated that she thinks that they can all be in favor. The other thing from a recent application about opening the record for the public hearing and if we defer something, people coming back with the expectation that they are going to be able to speak. She thinks those need to be clearer because that was a very difficult decision. She is glad that they had very good counsel here to help with that. She thinks that is one thing that also needs to be clearly spelled out for the Chair and for the people that are in the audience. It’s an issue and people need to understand it. Mrs. Denney stated that she whole heartedly agrees. From time to time, it does become necessary to table something and continue later. In our particular instance from time to time, there will be some type of a stalemate and one of the members will say let’s table this until the next meeting. Essentially what we are doing is tabling the vote and it is specific that the missing members will have the opportunity to read or listen the minutes from the prior meeting. Then it will not be an opportunity for somebody to say “when I was here last time I forgot to say…”. That is over and we are tabling only the vote. If we are continuing because the hour is late and we are going to let people speak the next time which is rare, typically they say “For the record, we are not taking any further comment, we are just voting.” Or if someone has already appeared and given testimony prior to this, they had their opportunity at the last meeting because again, you don’t want somebody coming back and saying “well in the meantime, I thought about this.” Mrs. Maucher stated again, we are public servants and we need to encourage public participation and not make things so onerous that people don’t want to participate but there needs to be set established procedures. Of course there are exceptions which can be considered, but she thinks that it needs to be very clear for everyone. It sounds like there is a consensus that we should go forward and look at the By-Laws and some Rules of Procedure. Do we want to setup a subcommittee to have a few people work on that or do we want to have Planning Staff, who doesn’t have enough to do since there are no applications? Should we come up with a red line? She thinks that it is easier to have something presented with red line. We can sit here and go through everything or we can submit our own red lines. In her job, they have check in and check out. She thinks it is easier to take what we have. She particularly likes the City of Newark. She thinks that they had a lot of good things. There were things from the County that were a little over the top for us. But if we took our By-Laws, then did some red lining to them or had Staff do some red lining to give some direction. Then we could take the City of Newark’s Rules of Procedure and use that has a template for our own. That is her recommendation but she didn’t know if anyone else had any thoughts on the sample Rules of Procedure that were shared with us. 6 9

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 Mrs. Welsh agrees and she will say that as she was reading through the documents, she thinks that Mrs. Maucher is correct that the City of Newark is very similar to what we do with just little tiny tweaks. With some of the things especially in the Rules of Procedure, we do those things and we say those things, but they are not in a document. But she thinks that the City of Newark is very similar to what we do already. Mrs. Maucher stated that there is a municipality that has decided to end WebEx meetings. She doesn’t know if that is at the purview of Council or is that a decision that the Planning Commission makes and if that needs to be incorporated in the Rules of Procedure regarding hybrid meetings. Mrs. Denney asked if they were looking for a motion to create a Subcommittee to review these and come back. Responding to Mrs. Denney, Mrs. Maucher stated yes. Do we want to do a Subcommittee? Is it something that we can do through emails or is that too onerous? Mrs. Denney stated again, she is not suggesting a preference but she does agree that something through email where they all could communicate when you have a moment could work. Once the email goes out then maybe we go back in forth and maybe before the next meeting we have to address it and talk to each other or something like that. Responding to Mrs. Denney, Mrs. Gray doesn’t think that they can do that; it has to be public. Mrs. Maucher stated that with a Subcommittee, it would have to be less than a quorum so it would have to be three members. So, if three of us wanted to get together and work on something. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that per your current By- Laws, there is a section on committees. It talks about a Subdivision Committee, but also in Section 10.2 it states that “other committees may be appointed by the Chairman from time to time with the approval of the Commission.” So she thinks that Mrs. Maucher could probably put forth a motion to establish a committee and have the Commission agree to that path forward. Mrs. Maucher moved to establish a Subcommittee for the purpose of developing red line changes to our existing By-Laws and to develop Rules of Procedure to bring back to the whole Planning Commission, seconded by Mrs. Denney and the motion was carried 8-0 by voice vote. Mrs. Maucher volunteered to be on the Subcommittee because she red lines all day at her day job. Mrs. Welsh asked if we know when we are going to do this. Is it just going to be one meeting? Are we anticipating three or four? Is it going to be done by the (next) Planning Commission meeting? Responding to Mrs. Welsh, Mrs. Maucher stated that she wouldn’t put that strict of a deadline on it, plus it is going to depend on the volume of the next meeting. She would say that if there are three of us, then we can do email to exchange documents and make discussion and suggestions and then send it to Planning Staff to put on an open agenda as soon as reasonable. She thinks that it is something that is important to get done right away and not drag out for months on end. Mrs. Welsh stated that she would be volunteering and say that if they are going to be doing it 7 10

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 through email and working through it, she could make that work. Mrs. Denney stated that she will volunteer. Hopefully it will be agreed with Mrs. Welsh. It is much easier if they could do email in the beginning. Then if they have something that we want to bring before the Commission or talk to anybody else about, then they can do what needs to happen for that. She doesn’t know because it is so different from what she does otherwise. If need be, maybe they could add it on an agenda for the end of a meeting if we all need to discuss it. She is happy to participate in the committee, but she really feels that the other Commissioners in this room should also be included. She doesn’t just want to make decisions and say lets do it our way. Mrs. Maucher stated that she thinks it is easier to have something that has been marked up and modified for people to react to then to have to create it all on our own. She will take the first stab, do a red line of the By-Laws. She will take the City of Newark Rules of Procedure and do some mark up on that and circulate it to see where we are and what we need to do to move forward. Mrs. Denney asked if the City of Newark uses Mason’s Rules. Responding to Mrs. Denney, Mrs. Gray stated that they haven’t adopted them officially; they use a modified Robert’s Rules of Order. Dr. Jones stated that she is very comfortable with this Committee going through and you have heard the concerns and so forth. The recommendation is for this body. She hopes that we don’t have to come back and do a whole lot of discussing because she thinks that you have heard some of the concerns and you have the documents. Mrs. Maucher stated that she would envision bringing it back to the Commission, they vote on it or discuss the changes. If everything is great, we will vote on it; if not then we will make changes. Her other question is, we are our own self-governing type of body? So, we don’t have to have this approved by Council, correct? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Gray stated that is correct. Mr. Cooper asked if the Subcommittee was reviewing the By-Laws and the Rules of Procedure together. Is the one committee doing both? Responding to Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Maucher stated yes. Planning Commissioner Comments and Concerns Mrs. Maucher stated that this is going to be an open dialogue. Do the Commissioners have any concerns or comments that they want to bring to be considered or looked at? Mr. Cooper stated that this is the first time that he has ever seen this on the agenda. Is this why we have the referee in the room? Responding to Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Maucher stated that she wondered that herself; we might need it. Dr. Jones stated that there is a City Department that works to try and attract businesses to the area. Is she correct? Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Denney stated that it was the Downtown 8 11

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 Dover Partnership. Dr. Jones asked if there was dialogue with the Downtown Dover Partnership and the Planning Commission. She is curious about that and she is looking at the summary of applications. Does Downtown Dover Partnership have authority? Being on the Planning Commission, one of the things that she hears all of the time is “well everybody has heard about #5 car wash and #4 car wash.” But as she tells them when the application comes, it is not our task to make a decision. She knows that there is the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Dover and so forth, but she is just wondering about communication. Are we in sync just with conversation? For instance, what about a four-star, if not five-star restaurant in the area. What about theater? You get all of these questions, and you simply have to say “that is not our task.” Our task is when the applications come before the Commission. Is there general conversation at any point in time? Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Gray stated yes, there is a lot of conversation. The Downtown Dover Partnership is not necessarily an arm of the City, but it coordinates with the City. The City partially funds the organization. It is a non-profit organization and they do coordinate a lot with the City. They do attend a lot of City meetings. The City Planner and the City Manager are on the steering committee of the DDP. Up until today because they just hired a Development Director, Mr. Ken Anderson, she has been participating in weekly meetings called implementation meetings since the Mosaic Plan (Downtown Strategic Mater Plan) has been implemented. Mr. Swierczek, as part of his job tasks, he coordinates a lot with Tina Bradbury who is part of the DDP with the Downtown Dover Incentives. So she doesn’t think that a week goes by where you are not talking to Tina at least a couple of times as week. She talks to Tina and Diane Laird, who is the Executive Director quite often. She talked to her three times today, one about a meeting and two follow-up calls. There is quite a lot of coordination and they are aware of things that are going on with City and vice versa. Dr. Jones asked if they are aware that there are many desires for the overall infrastructure of the City of Dover. We have all of these people coming in. We know why they come and we know how they benefit. We are happy for them but questions are asked. She just wanted to put that out there because they are not going to read the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Staff did a wonderful job of putting it out there where people could have had some input, but we all know that is not how things typically work. So we can’t really do anything about that Comprehensive Plan but we can be mindful of it and the things that are desirable for the City of Dover. Mrs. Denney stated that she has an issue and maybe she just doesn’t understand because obviously the City and the County are different. She is more familiar with the County. They have had an application before us a few months back and this bothers her still to this day because in the end, she voted. There had been some confusion about annexation and this was annexed and that was annexed. They had a landowner come before us to ask with a filed application. She didn’t understand then and to this moment, she does not understand it because there was a problem with identifying and looking back at the annexation records and you truly could not tell who owned that property. We had a lawyer here and it was very confusing. Yet, we as a body, listened to application, arguments and then eventually it was tabled and then it came back and we voted. She to this moment, doesn’t understand how this body or any body could vote on something when we don’t know for sure who the landowner is. She actually came very close to contacting the Mayor and saying “I can’t do this anymore” because this is really weird to her. It 9 12

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 is very much not within the principle that she keeps because of fairness and also following the Comprehensive Plan and also following the law. We don’t make decisions on our own. She thinks that it would be better, unless it’s within the concept of the Comprehensive Plan and the rules and regulations of the City and the Planners. She felt that it was very difficult, so much that she still thinks about it. Can you help her understand when in the end, it was never truly identified except we think this and we think that and maybe that. How could we vote on it because she understands that you don’t vote on something because of who owns it but she doesn’t feel like we had a right to vote on something unless we were absolutely positive that the person who is bringing the application before us was the landowner. Suppose Chris wanted to open a business across the street and maybe there was some ambiguity with that because of some transfer of the property and then all of sudden we say, “once upon a time it looks like maybe.” She is confused about that and she needs help understanding what happened and how it happened and what the rules are. Dr. Jones stated that before that is answered, can she ask one thing to go along with that? Was this something that has never happened before? Mrs. Maucher stated that she does not know but she knows that that issue is the subject of a pending lawsuit so she is not sure if we can discuss it or not. Mrs. Gray stated that it is part of the public record as Staff indicated at the time that the question was asked. The annexation process that was articulated was the road; the secluded right-of-way was annexed. The dispute is that a property owner is saying that they own the right-of-way and the City is indicating that that’s a right-of-way. Responding to Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Denney stated that part she understood. The part that she didn’t understand is can someone come before us with an application that includes that property? On the plans, it appears that that property belongs to that applicant and yet it has not been defined who it belongs to. How could we vote on it because the only person who should be able to apply for anything on that piece of property would be the property owner themselves? Mrs. Gray stated that she thinks we are talking in circles. She believes that she answered the question. The City annexed that road which included the right-of-way. The applicant has owned a piece of property on the other side of that road. They clearly owned that property; that ownership of that property is not in dispute. Mrs. Denney stated that you really didn’t answer her question but she thinks that we should just drop it at this point because again, there is litigation. It is not important that she understand it now but probably some day in the future after all that is settled, she is going to ask because it is hard to vote on things when she doesn’t have a clear understanding of why. Maybe in the end she will understand why. Mrs. Maucher stated that one of the issues that repeatedly comes up and Mr. Hartman made a motion about the Traffic Impact Study. She has asked Planning Staff to find time at an upcoming meeting to have a presentation from DelDOT to help us all better understand the process of when they are required and when they are not just because she has no idea. You have these projects that DelDOT says they don’t need one for and she wonders why not. Hopefully it will be soon to 10 13

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 have the presentation from DelDOT. Another one that struck her recently was that they had another application come up that was connected to a larger property that had been approved twenty years ago. She had no idea that it had been approved. When you are making these decisions, she feels like sometimes we make them in a vacuum. Something has been approved but not developed so you don’t see anything there but it could be developed and that is going to be three hundred homes and then four hundred homes here. She presumes that the City does it’s own GIS mapping. So when we get these applications, not just that this is here but this project has been subject to this application and it can be developed or it’s two year expiration isn’t up yet. She was very surprised that there was development that was twenty years old that hadn’t even been started and that they could just start it. That kind of thing is frustrating because again when you are asking about three hundred homes on this parcel, the parcel next to it could have been approved for four hundred. So, how does that feed into the TIS’s that are needed. Does DelDOT look at the fact that there are four hundred houses here and this one is three hundred but we are only going to look at it for three hundred houses but there are actually going to be seven hundred? Mrs. Denney stated that not too long ago, we had an application and she thinks that it was a car wash. But at any rate, there is one here and one there. Mr. Hartman said let me table it because I want to go talk to the bank or whatever he said about what they think about it. Our laws are our laws and our Comprehensive Plan is our Comprehensive Plan. We can’t go to somebody and ask if they are okay with somebody being their next door neighbor. If it is approved and it’s in keeping with our laws, then they have a right to develop it whether the next door neighbor wants it there or not. She thinks that she even agreed to table it in the motion but as she got home she thought why did I do that? She just wanted to point out that we are here to follow the rules, not to necessarily make everyone happy. She shouldn’t be going to people to ask if they are okay with something next door because if they weren’t for some reason then they have an opportunity to come to the meeting and ask publicly and someone can help them understand maybe why we don’t have control. Responding to Mrs. Denney, Mrs. Maucher stated that is all in the notice process for neighbors. She doesn’t know if that would go into the rules of practice. She knows when you are within a certain distance from a proposed development, then you have to be notified by mail. Sometimes somebody will come for a rezoning and you open up a whole big can of worms for a whole bunch of things. Maybe if it’s that thing okay but then you rezoned it and they could come back later and put something else there that was totally unexpected. She really dislikes rezonings without an application to go along with it. She doesn’t know if that is something that could be reviewed. She knows that we want to be friendly to development in the City for job creation and housing development, but a lot of these blanket rezonings with fifteen different options are a little frustrating. Mr. Cooper stated that was like the meeting with the application Downtown where they wanted to have the gatherings on Loockerman Street. His comfort in the whole situation was that somebody mentioned that the Fire Marshal’s Code was forty-nine or something for the building. He was like okay it is tied to the owner, not the applicant so it’s never going to turn into anything crazy regardless of who ends up owning a business there. But it was because of that caveat that made him feel comfortable with that. Aside from that, he was hung up on exactly what you are talking about. What’s next because the variance was tied to the owner not the business owner, which gave him a lot of heartburn but the Fire Marshal’s Code made him calm down a lot. 11 14

Item 1. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 Dr. Jones stated thank you for the opportunity to have some discussion because there are a lot of questions sometimes and she echoes the sentiments of saying “did I really understand that.” Mrs. Maucher stated in the past, we used to have quarterly workshops at lunch time and we could have a learning topic and also air grievances. Mrs. Welsh stated that she found those very helpful. Mrs. Gray asked if the Commission would like to return to that. Responding to Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Maucher stated that because they were during the day, she wasn’t always available but she did try to make them when she could. If other Commissioners would find value in those, she is not sure how many others have attended them, but it was basically a workshop with an educational topic and then a discussion of any concerns that we might have. Mrs. Denney stated that she is always anxious to attend anything that she can fit into her schedule that helps her learn more. She has not been to one, but she would be happy to attend one. Retirement just means that everyone can call you and ask you to volunteer for this. It is a whole different level of working, but she would love to attend one and she would be happy if they have them. Mrs. Welsh stated that she thought they were very helpful. Maybe we don’t need quarterly but maybe just twice a year is sufficient. Mrs. Maucher stated especially as we have members of the Planning Commission members come and go. As new people come in, that might help. Dr. Jones stated that there is so much to learn. Mr. Roach stated thank you so much everybody for the dialogue. He was kind of quiet this evening because you know him, he is more interactive when it comes to the applications. In regard to the By-Laws and the development as for as the Rules of Procedure, he is more of a rule follower. He appreciates you all going into it tonight. He appreciates everybody’s hard work that they do; especially the Planning Staff. A lot of the times, we get to the meetings and all of the work is already done or us. Public Comment – No one from the public spoke. Meeting adjourned at 8:21 PM. Sincerely, Kristen Mullaney Secretary 12 15

City of Item 4. Dover CITY OF DOVER Planning Office DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY D.A.C. MEETING DATE: October 4, 2023 APPLICATION Delaware State University New Agriculture Building at 1200 North Dupont Highway FILE #: S-23-18 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning Office CONTACT PERSON: Katherine Oehmke PHONE #: 302.736.7196 I. PLAN SUMMARY This application is for the review of a Site Development Plan for a new 10,402 SF Building on the Delaware State University Campus for the Agricultural Department. This single-story building will be placed in the former baseball field on the west side of campus. The project will demolish the existing bleachers, dugout boxes, batting cage, existing parking, and press box. The new Site Plan outlines a parking lot in front of the building with 2 new entrances to the site from University Drive. The building will house offices and classrooms. A new storm water management system is shown on the south entrance off University Drive. This project is on the north side of the corner of Loop Road and University Drive. The property is zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) and subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone). It is located on the westerly side of the Delaware State University main campus which the entirety is addressed as 1200 N. Dupont Highway. Tax Parcel IDs: ED-05-057.00-01- 19.00, ED-05-057.00-01-20.00, and a portion of ED-05-057.00-01-21.00-000. Council District 4. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project will redevelop the existing Baseball Field area. The Site Development Plan proposes the construction of a 10,402 square foot building for classrooms and offices. The new one-story building will be freestanding. There will be 31 parking spaces along the front of the building, including 2 handicap accessible spaces. There will be a network of sidewalks connecting the new building with the rest of the campus. 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. Additionally, the campus has a variance for a reduction in the number of parking spaces. Delaware State University also has a centralized waste collection area, so no on- site dumpsters would be required. 23

Item 4. S-23-18 Delaware State University New Agriculture Building DAC Report for October 4, 2023 Page 3 of 7 SWPOZ – Source Water Protection Overlay Zone: Tier 3 -Excellent Recharge 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. A significant portion of the Delaware State University Campus on the north side of College Road is subject to the Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Area and the provisions for Article 3, Section 29.7. The entire Project Area is with the SWPOZ: Tier 3 Excellent Recharge Area. 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 – Excellent Recharge Area Lands are additionally subject to specific rules for impervious surfaces. The Plan has provided information that within the Project Area of 3.44 acres the amount of impervious surface coverage will change from 30,797 SF (20.6%) to 33,730 SF (22.5%). (Note: Some information reported in the Plan’s data column must be clarified.) In the Project Area, the amount of impervious surface remains under the maximum of 30% impervious coverage. When looking at the overall Campus (north of College Road) located within the SWPOZ, the total impervious surface coverage is 34.43% and will increase to 34.52% requiring the increase to be infiltrated as part of the Stormwater Management Plan unless deemed contrary to other conditions imposed by DNREC. This will be reviewed as part of the Stormwater Management Plan by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). IV. PARKING SUMMARY For the New Agriculture Building, there are 2 entrances to the parking lot outlined from University Drive (internal to the Campus). Curbing is shown to completely surround the parking lot providing water direction for proposed drainage. Based on the size of the building and the parking rate for the IO zone of one parking space per 300 SF of floor area, the Building requires 35 parking spaces. While providing 31 new spaces for this site, two handicapped spaces are centrally across from the front entrance to the building. The remaining four parking spaces (not constructed) can be provided from the Campus Parking surplus. 24

Item 4. S-23-18 Delaware State University New Agriculture Building DAC Report for October 4, 2023 Page 4 of 7 There is a centralized parking plan for the Delaware State University campus. 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 is estimated to be 2,243 parking spaces with a surplus of 335 parking spaces. (The last estimate was 2,212 spaces per Site Plan S-17-29). This project will remove 8 parking spaces and construct only 31 new parking spaces; therefore, four (4) spaces should be allocated from the surplus spaces. These parking calculations must be confirmed. Bicycle Parking Bicycle parking is required at the rate of 1 bike per 20 automobile parking spaces. The 31 parking spaces would amount to 2 bike spaces. This plan has outlined 4 bike spaces. V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS Access There are multiple access points to the Delaware State University Campus. Delaware State University Drive is off Old College Road. The parking lot of the new Agriculture Building is directly off University Drive on the west side of campus. On the corner of Loop Road and University Drive. Two entrances are shown onto the site into the parking lot with a clear Fire Lane demarcation. Lighting There are 13 new lights on the plan for the new site. These light fixtures surround the parking light and provide light for the front and north side of the building. There are an additional 2 lights along University Drive that show as previously existing. Dumpster Dumpsters do not appear on the site plan. The university has a centralized waste management system. 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 east side of the building. A new sidewalk is shown along University Drive and has a connection to the rest of the campus on the northern side of the site. The sidewalk runs along the front and north side of the building. VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE The new Agricultural Building is a low single-story building with a central entrance covered by a flat metal canopy. The height of the middle of section of building is higher with large windows reaching to a metal panel wall surface at the height of the roof. The south side of the building is encased in running bond brick veneer with a thick band of Flemish bond brick veneer over the aluminum storefront windows. The right side of the building has fiber cement wood paneling outlined with horizontal metal panels making way for recessed areas topped with high windows.

Item 4. S-23-18 Delaware State University New Agriculture Building DAC Report for October 4, 2023 Page 5 of 7 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 flooding). This property is found on the FEMA FIRM Panel of Kent County Delaware Map Number 10001C0166H effective date May 5, 2003. The flood hazard area is in the western area of the campus adjacent to the Fork Branch. This subject project area is not located in the special flood hazard area. VIII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN Development Area The project site development area consists of 3.44 acres. Overall, the existing impervious area will increase by 5.8% to 22.5% total. Tree Plantings The submitted plan includes the landscaping approach for the overall project. Zoning Ordinance, Article 5, Section 16.62 offers the option of the applicant defining a “Development Area” within the overall property for the purpose of tree planting calculations. Planning Staff is equating the delineated project area shown on the plan as the “Development Area”. The Development Area of the New Agricultural Building is 3.44 acres (150,000 square feet). This area is predominately void of trees and only 2 trees at the southeast corner of the development area will be cleared. A total of 50 trees are being added to the site which complies with the calculation rate of 1 tree per 3000 S.F. of development area. Many of the trees on the planting schedule are of the evergreen variety as Colorado Blue Spruce and Eastern Red Cedars. Additionally, there are 15 canopy trees and 9 understory trees. A line of trees extends down the west side (rear) of the building, the north side, and along the front. A group of 10 trees shields the building from Loop Road on the south. Arterial Street Buffer North DuPont Highway (U.S Route 13) is considered as a principal arterial and requires a thirty (30) foot landscape buffer along the road frontage known as an Arterial Street Buffer. The buffer is measured from the edge of the right-of-way. The University campus provides this required thirty (30) foot landscape buffer along DuPont Highway which includes tree plantings, landscape plantings of shrubs and annuals, and a brick wall. Activities of this Site Development Plan do not impact the Arterial Street Buffer. IX. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS: The subject proposal has been reviewed for code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness in accordance with the agency’s authority and area of expertise.

DNREC Sediment and Stormwater Program DATE: September 28, 2023 SUBJECT: S-23-18 Delaware State University New Agriculture Building CC: Michael Henry, Becker Morgan Group Khalid Zerrad, Delaware State University Bonnie Arvay, Acting Program Manager, Sediment and Stormwater Program DNREC Sediment and Stormwater Program (SSP) has reviewed the plan provided and offers the following comments: 1. A Sediment and Stormwater Management Plan must be approved by DNREC Sediment and Stormwater Program prior to any land disturbance taking place on site. 2. DNREC SSP has a required three-step plan approval process. The first step is to compile and submit the Stormwater Assessment Study prior to scheduling a project application meeting, followed by a preliminary and construction level plan submittals. The SSP had a preliminary meeting with the site designer for this project but no formal submittal has been made. 3. If the total land disturbance associated with the project will exceed 1.0 acre, a Notice of Intent (NOI) for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activity must be secured prior to plan approval. The NOI application is filed online and the NOI fee of $195 is paid electronically, and is assessed annually until construction is complete and the project is closed out. 4. DNREC SSP recently conducted a maintenance review of existing stormwater management BMPs on the DSU campus and have identified maintenance needs that must be addressed. DNREC SSP will be contacting DSU to review the maintenance needs and establish a path forward for that effort. The New Agriculture Building project does not appear to discharge to any existing stormwater management BMPs and therefore, maintenance of those BMPs will not be tied to this project’s approval. However, future projects at DSU may need to consider maintenance requirements on existing stormwater management BMPs. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (302) 608-5460 or Elaine.Webb@delaware.gov. 45

Waiver Requests: Partial Elimination of Sidewalk and Subdivision Waiver of Requirement for Two Connections to Public Street. Existing Properties: The subject properties are located on the north side of West Denneys Road to the west of the residential subdivision known as Carlisle Village (Carlisle Village is not within the City). Adjacent areas to the south of West Denneys Road are within the City of Dover. The three parcels described below were recently annexed into the City of Dover (AX-22-03). The Craig property (to be Lot A) includes a dwelling and other accessory structures off a private drive named Rocky Road. The north portion of the existing lot contains a large woodland area. The Keller property (to be Lot B) includes an existing single-family detached dwelling directly adjacent to West Denneys Road and continues to be predominately wooded for the balance of the parcel. The Burkett property is a wooded lot with no buildings adjacent to Carlisle Village. These properties are not currently served by City Electric or by City Water & Wastewater services. An equitable owner has filed an application for redevelopment of the properties for residential use as an apartment complex. 57

Item 5. S-23-19: Windward Ridge Apartments Site Plan DAC Report of October 4, 2023 Page 4 of 14 Surrounding Land Uses To the east, the subject area is adjacent to the residential subdivision of Carlisle Village, an existing neighborhood of single-family detached dwellings zoned RS1 (in Kent County). To the south across West Denneys Road is the State owned parkland known as the Anne McClements Woodland as part of the Fork Branch Nature Preserve; it is zoned ROS (Recreational and Open Space Zone). Portions of this park area at the southeast corner of the intersection of Kenton Road and West Denneys Road were previously proposed for development as the Maidstone Subdivision prior to its donation/sale to the State to expand the park. The area consists of open fields and wooded areas. To the west of the subject area are other properties zoned AR (Agricultural Residential District) under the jurisdiction of Kent County including a church, other single family dwellings, and woodland areas. To the north, is a stream that is part of the Fork Branch waterway system and another wooded tract. II. PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS: The subject area (three properties) was annexed into the City in early 2023 with Application AX- 22-03 Lands of Craig, Keller, and Burkett: Annexation of Three Parcels on West Denneys Road. At the time of annexation, the properties were rezoned to RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone) and partially subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone). III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Site Development Plan as submitted by the applicant for the Windward Ridge Apartments consists of thirteen (13) garden style apartment buildings consisting of eleven (11) buildings containing twenty-four (24) units and two (2) buildings containing eighteen (18) units for a total of 300 apartment units. Also proposed are twelve (12) garage buildings, a Club House with Pool, walking paths, parking, and other site improvements. Two (2) existing single family detached dwellings will remain on separate lots (Lot A and Lot B). The site also has a series of parking lots and six (6) small garage buildings each with six interior parking spaces. There is a sidewalk network throughout the site and walking paths/trails connecting to active recreation areas. The Site Plan (Sheets 1-8 dated 8/15/2023) and the Architectural Drawings and Photo Series Set (Set of 8 ½” by 14” Sheets) also describes the approaches to the Active Recreation Area Plan amenities. Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plan This Site Plan includes a Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plan (Sheet 2) to reconfigure the existing three parcels to create a large tract for the apartment development. While the existing single family detached dwellings will remain each on their own lot. Lot A (Craig) at 57 Rocky Road is to consist of 3.5 acres+/- and include a single family detached residence and associated accessory buildings. Lot B (Keller) at 4085 West Denneys Road is to consist of 1.01 acres+/-. The balance of the properties and the other wooded parcel (Burkett) are the subject area for redevelopment. Preliminary Land Use Services Review (PLUS) An application (PLUS Review #2023-07-09) related to this Windward Ridge project was reviewed by the State’s Preliminary Land Use Services, as required by the City of Dover’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). It was reviewed by the state at the meeting on July 26, 2023. This MOU requires that non-residential developments of over 75,000 square feet or residential developments containing 125 or more dwelling units complete the PLUS Review 58

Item 5. S-23-19: Windward Ridge Apartments Site Plan DAC Report of October 4, 2023 Page 5 of 14 process prior to application submission. The development proposal submitted by the developers to PLUS envisioned 312 apartment units* for the total 40.12 acres. Copies of the PLUS Review Comments are provided along with the Applicant’s Response to the PLUS Comments. *Note: The Plan design has since been refined to 300 apartment units. IV. ZONING REVIEW: RM-2 (Medium Density Residential Zone) The properties have the zoning of RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone). The types of permitted uses in the RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone) are given in Article 3 §7 of the Zoning Ordinance and referenced sections including Article 3 §1. One-Family Residence Zones. The RM-2 zone allows for a variety of housing unit types ranging from single family detached dwellings, duplexes, multiplexes, and townhouses to garden apartments. The RM-2 zone has a maximum gross residential density limitation of eight dwelling units per acre. The bulk standards are found Zoning Ordinance, Article 4 Section 4.6 and are based on the proposed housing type. SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) The subject area is also partially subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone). In this case, the SWPOZ: Tier 3 – Excellent Recharge Area crosses through the northern portion of the subject area. The regulations regarding the Tier 3 - Excellent Recharge Areas of the SWPOZ can be found in Article 3 §29.79 of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed use as garden apartment (residential) is not prohibited in the SWPOZ. For Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Areas, the maximum lot coverage for the site is 30% unless infiltration is utilized then the maximum lot coverage is 60%. In the SWPOZ, the differential volume of stormwater between the 30% and 60% lot coverage must utilize infiltration. The Plan indicates that 18.61 acres of the site is within the SWPOZ and of that 5.03 acres will be impervious; therefore, an impervious coverage of 27%. V. PARKING SUMMARY: The parking requirement for apartments is based on a rate of two (2) parking spaces per dwelling unit plus 0.25 space per dwelling unit for visitor parking. Based on the number of dwelling units (300 apartment units), this site would require 675 parking spaces. The plans submitted identify a total of 724 parking spaces located around the perimeter of the complex flanking the drive aisles and including handicapped accessible parking spaces near each building. There are also a series of 12 garage buildings of six spaces each throughout the complex. The Plan also identified EV parking spaces. Bicycle Parking Bicycle parking is required at a ratio of one space for every twenty parking spaces. With 724 vehicle parking spaces, then 37 bicycle parking spaces are required. The site plans submitted appear to identify six bike rack locations for a total of 42 bike spaces, but no details on format are provided. Upright Curbing The upright cubing for parking lots and drive aisles is required by the requirements of Article 6 Section 3.6(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. The type of curbing must be clarified on the Site Plan. 59

Item 5. S-23-19: Windward Ridge Apartments Site Plan DAC Report of October 4, 2023 Page 6 of 14 VI. SITE CONSIDERATIONS: Access The access to this Apartment Complex is with a divided boulevard style entrance/exit from West Denneys Road. The entrance drive is named Windward Boulevard which continues throughout the apartment complex as drive aisles. These drive aisles are named Crosswind Drive, Leeward Way, and Tradewind Way. These are not rights-of-way or roadways to be dedicated as City streets. Subdivision Waiver: Requirement for Two Connections to Public Street The Land Subdivision Regulations outline requirements for streets in Article VI. Subdivision – General Requirements and Design Standards, A. Streets. Subsection 8 lists provisions for interconnected streets including the requirement for two connections to a state or city maintained street for site developments containing more than 150 or more dwelling units. Article VI. Subdivision – General Requirements and Design Standards A. Streets 8. The creation of interconnected streets will be encouraged wherever the commission finds that such layout will not interfere with traffic convenience and safety. The commission shall determine the number of connections of streets in the proposed subdivision with existing streets. At least two connections onto a state-maintained road or a city-maintained street are required unless the Delaware Department of Transportation or the city engineer determines that the second connection will not be permitted or is determined to be nonfeasible. This requirement shall pertain to: (a) Subdivisions containing 20 or more lots, plots, sites, or parcels. (b) Site developments containing 150 or more dwelling units. The Windward Ridge Apartment complex proposes 300 dwelling units. The Plan proposes one entrance connecting to West Denneys Road in the form of a divided boulevard entry. The Applicant has filed a written waiver request citing insufficient road frontage to accommodate two entrances due to length of frontage, the proximity of the existing Carlisle Drive, and the driveway entrances of the single family dwellings; see attached letter. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation on this Subdivision Waiver to be forwarded to City Council for action as per Land Subdivision Regulations, Article VII. Special Provisions, A. Variance and waiver. Article VII. Special Provisions A. Variance and waiver. 1.

Item 5. S-23-19: Windward Ridge Apartments Site Plan DAC Report of October 4, 2023 Page 7 of 14 Rear Emergency Access Rear Emergency Access is required for some residential dwelling types. According to Article 5, Section 17 of the Zoning Ordinance an 18 ft. wide Secondary Fire Lane or 18 ft. wide subgrade emergency access lane is required for Apartments that are 2-3 stories to serve as rear access. This is to provide access to rear building areas. The plan calls for an emergency access lane network to reach the rear of each apartment building. The Fire Marshal’s Office will also evaluate these fire protection measures as related to the fire lane requirements of the applicable Fire Codes. Lighting The plan must add a series of lighting fixtures to light the parking lots and access ways to the buildings. Sidewalks Sidewalks are shown on the plans between the parking areas and the building access points. These sidewalks are on the building side of the parking lots and include designated crosswalks at drive aisle crossings. A sidewalk connects from the multi-use path along West Denneys Road frontage into the site on the east side of Windward Boulevard. There are also a series of mulch walking paths the circulate through the woodland areas. Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Sidewalks (Pathways) Sidewalks are required along all street frontages of a property (Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 18) for development proposals subject to Site Development Plan review by the Planning Commission. Review of the Plan shows a multi-use path along portions of the West Denneys Road frontage proposed for development of the apartment complex. A written waiver request was submitted for consideration by the Planning Commission to eliminate the sidewalk/pathways for the segments of West Denneys Road in front of the existing single family detached dwellings. The Planning Commission should act on this waiver request as part of their review of the Site Development Plan; see the following Zoning Ordinance citation on waivers of pathways. Sidewalks are a type of pathway. Article 15 §18.5 Waiver of pathway locations requirements. The property owner or developer may request a waiver from the planning commission or city planner, according to the type of plan review required by article 10 of this ordinance, under the following circumstances in order to reduce or eliminate the requirements for pathway installation: a) When the property is isolated from the existing pathway network, with no existing pathways within the immediate vicinity of the property. b) When the proposed use would not generate or attract additional pedestrian, bicycle, or other non-motorized trips. c) When physical characteristics of the property are such that pathway installation is impractical or impossible. Dumpsters The Dumpster requirement for apartments is two Dumpsters for the first 48 units and one Dumpster for each additional 24 units or fraction thereof. Based on 300 apartment units, a total of thirteen (13) Dumpsters are required. There fourteen (14) Dumpsters within the parking lot areas.

The exterior finishes of the apartment buildings consist of a masonry watertable, horizontal vinyl siding with a band board dividing the second and third floors with a change in siding color. The siding on the select gable elements is vertical. Architectural asphalt shingles are shown for the pitched roofs. The Garage Buildings have a masonry watertable and then horizontal vinyl siding for the wall surface along with an asphalt shingled hipped roof. There are garage doors across the front of the structure leading to individualized garage bays. Turned gable elements are added to the front of the garages including the vertical siding similar to the gable end. VIII. SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS Flood Hazard Area The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §11.21 requires that flood hazard areas (100-year floodplain) remain as open natural areas with no impervious surfaces. These properties are found on the FEMA FIRM Panel of Kent County Delaware Map Number 10001C0162H effective date May 5, 2003. Portions of the subject property are within the Special Flood Hazard Area (100-year floodplain/ 1% chance of annual flooding) as Zone AE; it is found in the northern portion of the site. The floodplain areas are not proposed for development. IX. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN: Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 16 lays out the requirements for tree planting and preservation. A new project is required to provide tree planting at a rate of one (1) tree per 3,000 SF of “Development Area.” The Zoning Ordinance Article 5, Section 16 defines “Woodland” as follows: Woodland. An area of contiguous wooded vegetation (7,500 square feet or greater), where trees exist at a density of at least one tree with a caliper dimension of six inches or greater per 375 square feet of land and where the tree branches form a contiguous canopy. According to plans, there are 37.44 acres of existing woods, and they propose to remove a portion of the woodland area to make way for the buildings development and preserving 19.02 acres of woodland (50.8%). The maximum amount of woodland that can be cleared is 50% with anything over that amount requiring mitigation. Based on a development area of 817,561 SF, the minimum required number of trees is 273. The site plans show 273 trees spread over the site around the parking lots on islands, adjacent to the buildings, and in the internal open space areas. The plan does not specify tree species. Wetlands & Buffering The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §11.22 prescribes provisions related to wetland areas. It requires setbacks from wetland areas that are over 0.25 acres in size. This plan depicts Non-Tidal wetland areas. A 100-foot setback is required; however, this can be reduced to 50 feet with implementation of a Riparian Buffer or reduced to 30 feet with bank stabilization. Adjacent to the wetlands, the plan shows a 50 foot riparian buffer where existing woodland vegetation will be maintained. The site circulation drive aisle crosses a small stream in one location and there are several walking path small (wood) bridge crossings. More detail on these crossings is needed. 62

XII. 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: Subdivision Waiver for Requirement for Two Connections to Public Street: Planning Staff recommends approval of the waiver request to eliminate the requirement for two connections to a public street with the condition that the Apartment Complex entrance remain as a divided boulevard-like entrance. This is based on the preliminary comments received from DelDOT regarding options for the entrance design to connect to West Denneys Road. It noted that there a no options for interconnection with the adjoining Carlisle Village Subdivision to the east and to the north are floodplain areas. The only possibility for interconnection would be if any properties to the west or Lot A/Lot B proposed development in the future. The boulevard-like entrance format could allow for a potential access/egress option should one lane be blocked by an emergency. 2) Waiver Request: Partial Elimination of Sidewalks: Planning Staff recommends approval of the waiver request to eliminate the requirement for the construction of sidewalks along a segment of the north side of West Denneys Road adjacent to the existing single family detached dwellings. This is based on the findings of the physical characteristics of this 66

Item 5. S-23-19: Windward Ridge Apartments Site Plan DAC Report of October 4, 2023 Page 13 of 14 frontage area with existing driveways, trees, and house proximity. Also, this is a segment unlikely to be traveled by pedestrians as no sidewalks exist to the west. However, if these properties are redeveloped in the future, then reconsideration of this requirement will be warranted. 3) Tree Plantings: Planning Staff encourages the use of native tree species especially in areas adjacent to the existing woodland areas to remain and due to the project’s proximity to area of the Fork Branch Nature Preserve. The applicant is recommended to consult with DNREC Staff on appropriate tree species for this area. 4) Bicycle Parking: Planning Staff encourages providing covered bicycle parking opportunities within the buildings or as an extension of the garage buildings. 5) EV Parking: Planning Staff encourages this project to include the installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in its parking lot. Currently, the Zoning Ordinance does not require them, but many other jurisdictions have implemented such requirements and there also may be State Code requirements for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. Electric Vehicle Charging Stations formats include EV-Capable, EV-Ready, and EV-Installed. a. Ensure some of the EV spaces are handicapped accessible. b. Clarify if the garage spaces offer EV charging opportunities. XIII. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1) The Planning Commission should act upon the request for any waivers as part of any motion regarding this project application, or as a separate motion as necessary. Note: All waivers are at the discretion of the Planning Commission. The Commission may approve or deny waiver requests. The Subdivision Waiver requires review and action by the Council Committee of the Whole: Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee and City Council. 2) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Site Development Plan occur in the finalization of the Site Plan contact the Department of Planning and Inspections. Examples include relocation of site components like paving and increases in floor area. These changes may require resubmittal for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making recommendations regarding 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) The site is located within the SWPOZ (Tier 3: Excellent Recharge Area) and the Planning Office and Kent Conservation District will coordinate to ensure compliance. 5) Following Planning Commission approval of the Site Development Plan, the Plan must be revised to meet all conditions of approval from the Development Advisory Committee or as otherwise noted. A Check Print must be submitted for review by Planning Office Staff and the other commenting agencies. Upon determination that the Plan is complete 67

Although DelDOT's TIS warrants are met, DelDOT may accept an Area Wide Study Fee (AWSF) since the site would generate fewer than 2,000 ADT and fewer than 200 peak hour trips in lieu of a TIS if the Local Land Use Agency does not require a TIS. Please provide documentation stating that the LLUA does NOT require a TIS. Upon receipt of this, DelDOT will issue an AWSF letter stating the required fee and improvements for this project. 4. There is an existing single home on the southwest corner of the project site. This home is to remain. The proposed pedestrian facility (Shared Use Path SUP) will stop at the eastern portion of this existing lot. Continuing the SUP is not advised due to the limited site area. The Department is willing to accept a Permanent Easement at that location. 84

This section of the code states: A. Streets 8. The creation of interconnected streets will be encouraged wherever the commission finds that such layout will not interfere with traffic convenience and safety. The commission shall determine the number of connections of streets in the proposed subdivision with existing streets. At least two connections onto a state-maintained road or a city-maintained street are required unless the Delaware Department of Transportation or the city engineer determines that the second connection will not be permitted or is determined to be nonfeasible. This requirement shall pertain to: b. Site Development containing 150 or more dwelling units. The proposed entrance for the Windward Ridge subdivision onto W. Dennys Road has been designed with consideration given to the surrounding properties and existing nearby entrances. The parcel frontage for the proposed development is limited to less than 390’ with the existing entrance to the Carlisle Village subdivision located less than 180’ to the northeast and an existing dual driveway entrance for the remaining single-family residence at 4085 W. Denneys Road. Based upon these site constraints, there is insufficient road frontage to accommodate two entrances and maintain safety for the traffic on W. Dennys Road. Additionally, we held a pre- application meeting with the Delaware Department of Transportation Development Coordination team on July 19, 2023 and discussed the Code requirement for a secondary access. In this meeting, DelDOT stated that they would not be in favor of a second access to W. Dennys Road for this project due to these constraints. We respectfully request that, based on the above circumstances, the Windward Ridge project be granted a waiver from the specific requirement of Appendix A, Article 6A8(b) of the City of Dover Code. 18 Boulden Circle, Suite 36, New Castle, DE 19720 (302) 326-2200 Fax: (302) 326-2399 www.mragta.com Abingdon, MD  Baltimore, MD  Laurel, MD  Towson, MD  Georgetown, DE  New Castle, DE  Purcellville, VA  Raleigh, NC  Orlando, FL (410) 515-9000 (443) 490-7201 (410) 792-9792 (410) 821-1690 (302) 855-5734 (302) 326-2200 (703) 994-4047 (984) 200-2103 (407) 317-6288 86

According to the information received, you are seeking review of a proposed site plan for the construction of 13 garden apartment buildings totaling 312 units on three parcels totaling 40.12 acres zoned RM-2 (Medium Density Residential). Please note that changes to the plan, other than those suggested in this letter, could result in additional comments from the State. Additionally, these comments reflect only issues that are the responsibility of the agencies represented at the meeting. The developers will also need to comply with any Federal, State, and local regulations regarding this property. We also note that as the City of Dover is the governing authority over this land, the developers will need to comply with any and all regulations/restrictions set forth by the City. Strategies for State Policies and Spending The proposed project is located in investment Levels 1 and 2 according to the 2020 Strategies for State Policies and Spending. Investment Level 1 reflects areas that are already developed in an urban or suburban fashion, where infrastructure is existing or readily available, and where future redevelopment or infill projects are expected and encouraged by State policy. Investment Level 2 reflects areas where growth is anticipated by local, county, and State plans in the near-term future. Because development in Levels 1 and 2 is consistent with the 2020 Strategies for State Policies and Spending, the Office of State Planning Coordination supports this site plan, provided it meets all requirements of the City of Dover. 122 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. South – Haslet Armory  Third Floor  Dover, DE 19901 Phone (302)739-3090  Fax (302) 739-5661  www. stateplanning.delaware.gov 90

The form needed to request the meeting and guidance on what will be covered there and how to prepare for it is located at https://www.deldot.gov/Business/subdivisions/pdfs/Meeting_Request_Form.pdf?0802 2017. • Section 1.7 of the Manual addresses fees that are assessed for the review of development proposals. DelDOT anticipates collecting the Initial Stage Fee when the record plan is submitted for review and the Construction Stage Fee when construction plans are submitted for review. • Per Section 2.2.2.1 of the Manual, Traffic Impact Studies (TIS) are warranted for developments generating more than 500 vehicle trip ends per day or 50 vehicle trip ends per hour in any hour of the day. Using the 11th edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ Trip Generation Manual, DelDOT estimates that the subject development will not generate traffic volume sufficient to require a TIS. The traffic volume expected would require an Area Wide Study Fee (AWSF). • Section 2.2.2.2 of the Development Coordination Manual provides that for developments generating less than 2,000 vehicle trip ends per day and less than 200 vehicle trip ends per hour in any hour of the day, DelDOT may accept an AWSF in lieu of the TIS if the local government does not require a TIS. The AWS Fee is calculated as $10 per daily trip. AWS Fees are used to fund traffic studies, not to build improvements. • As necessary, in accordance with Section 3.2.5 and Figure 3.2.5-a of the Manual, DelDOT will require dedication of right-of-way along the site’s frontage. By this regulation, this dedication is to provide a minimum of 30 feet of right-of-way from the physical centerline of West Denneys Road. By this regulation, this dedication is to provide a minimum of 30 feet of right-of-way from outmost edge of the through lanes of West Denneys Road. The following right-of-way dedication note is required, “An X-foot wide strip of right-of-way from the centerline is hereby dedicated in fee simple to the State of Delaware, acting by and through the Delaware Department of Transportation.” 91

Item 5. PLUS review 2023-07-09 Page 3 of 19 • In accordance with Section 3.2.5.1.2 of the Manual, DelDOT will require the establishment of a 15-foot wide permanent easement across the property frontage. The location of the easement shall be outside the limits of the ultimate right-of-way. The easement area can be used as part of the open space calculation for the site. The following note is required, “A 15-foot wide permanent easement is hereby dedicated in fee simple to the State of Delaware, acting by and through the Delaware Department of Transportation.” • Referring to Section 3.4.2.1 of the Manual, the following items, among other things, are required on the Record Plan: o A Traffic Generation Diagram. See Figure 3.4.2-a for the required format and content. o Notes identifying the type of off-site improvements, agreements (signal, letter) contributions and when the off-site improvements are warranted. • Section 3.5.4.2 of the Manual addresses requirements for Shared Use Paths (SUP) and sidewalks. For projects in Level 1 and 2 Investment Areas, installation of paths or sidewalks along the frontage on State-maintained roads is required. • In accordance with Section 3.8 of the Manual, storm water facilities, excluding filter strips and bioswales, shall be located a minimum of 20 feet from the ultimate State right-of-way along all frontage roads. • In accordance with Section 5.2.9 of the Manual, the Auxiliary Lane Worksheet should be used to determine whether auxiliary lanes are warranted at the site entrances and how long those lanes should be. The worksheet can be found at http://www.deldot.gov/Business/subdivisions/index.shtml. • In accordance with Section 5.4 of the Manual, sight distance triangles are required and shall be established in accordance with American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standards. A spreadsheet has been developed to assist with this task. It can be found at http://www.deldot.gov/Business/subdivisions/index.shtml. • In accordance with Section 5.14 of the Manual, all existing utilities must be shown on the plan and a utility relocation plan will be required for any utilities that need to be relocated. 92

Wetlands are a critical part of our natural environment. They reduce the impacts of flooding, absorb pollutants, and improve water quality. Wetlands provide habitat for animals and plants and many contain a wide diversity of life, supporting plants and animals that are found nowhere else. • Maintain input to natural wetlands at the pre-construction level. Avoid causing an increase or decrease in the naturally occurring water level. • Avoid diverting surface water from roadways and stormwater facilities into the wetlands on site. Water quality could be detrimentally affected by run-off, which can contain oil and other pollutants. • Avoid installing sewers with grates, which can create a hazard for amphibians and reptiles. 99

Item 5. PLUS review 2023-07-09 Page 11 of 19 • Design the development to exclude curbs. If road curbing is part of the design, curbing that allows small animals, such as turtles and salamanders, to climb out of the roadbed (such as Type 2 or Cape Cod curbing) is preferred over steep, vertical curbing. • Use open bottom box culverts to allow for natural substrate to remain and in-water passage of aquatic life. Additionally, culverts should be left as wide as possible to ensure that salamanders can travel through them. Federal Contact: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Dover Office) at (267) 240-5278.

Website: https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/water/wetlands-subaqueous/ Vegetated Buffer Zones • Expand the 30-foot buffer to no less than 100 feet from the edge of wetlands and all waterways to protect water quality and to provide an additional margin of safety for flooding. • Vegetated buffer zones should be left undisturbed during construction and should be identified outside of the Limit of Disturbance on the engineering plans. In some instances, stormwater outfalls, conveyances, and emergency spillways may cross through these zones, and will require temporary disturbance during construction. • Vegetated buffer zones should be deeded as community open space. Signage should be installed at the edge and within the buffer zones to deter residents from encroaching into these common areas. • Maintain vegetated buffer zones as either grasslands/meadows or forest. Buffer zones should be planted exclusively with native trees and plants. Native plants are well-suited to our climate and require limited maintenance. They also provide an increasingly important role in the survival of native birds and beneficial insects whose habitat is shrinking due to development and climate change. • Grass cutting for vegetated buffer zones if maintained as meadow should not occur between April 1st to July 31st to reduce impacts to nesting birds and other wildlife species that utilize meadows and grasslands for breeding habitat.

This GIS data layer is based on principles of landscape ecology and conservation biology, providing a consistent framework to identify and prioritize areas for natural resource protection. Forest disturbances on this site will jeopardize habitat on the parcel and likely beyond the parcel’s boundary. • Removing forested areas within the Delaware Ecological Network should be avoided to the greatest extent possible. These areas provide wildlife habitat, uptake nutrients, infiltrate stormwater, and improve water quality. Forests also provide shading and cooling, while also reducing carbon that contributes to climate change. Contact: DNREC Wildlife Species Conservation and Research Program at (302) 735-3600. Website: https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/fish-wildlife/contact-information/ Removal of Mature Forest The preliminary plan proposes the elimination of approximately 18 of 37 acres of forest on the site. An analysis of historical data indicates that much of the forest area located on the site has likely maintained some degree of forest cover since 1937 and could be considered mature forest. Mature forests possess the potential for rare, threatened, or endangered species that rely on this type of habitat. • Removing forested areas for development, especially mature forests, should be avoided to the greatest extent possible. Forests filter water for improved water quality, provide habitat for wildlife, absorb nutrients, infiltrate stormwater, moderate temperatures, and store atmospheric carbon which would otherwise contribute to climate change. • A forest assessment should be conducted to determine if mature forest resources exist on the property and to delineate their boundaries. Additionally, a forest assessment would include the identification of specimen trees and forest-dependent wildlife. If mature forests are found, these areas should be conserved to the maximum extent practicable. • To reduce impacts to nesting birds and other wildlife species that utilize forests for breeding, it is recommended that tree clearing not occur from April 1st to July 31st. Likewise, avoid mowing open space areas and grass filter strips during the same timeframe, as various species of birds utilize these areas for nesting sites.

Website: https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/watershed-stewardship/waterways/floodplains/ Key Wildlife Habitat The non-tidal coastal plain stream directly adjacent to the property, is mapped as Key Wildlife Habitat in the Delaware Wildlife Action Plan. • Key Wildlife Habitat should be conserved to the maximum extent practicable and negative impacts should be minimized. • In the interest of water quality and wildlife habitat, we recommend maintaining an upland buffer of at least 100 ft along rivers, streams and wetlands. This buffer should not be a maintained lawn area and should not contain lot lines or infrastructure. We recommend the buffer area be comprised of the existing vegetation or planted with Delaware native species of trees, shrubs, grasses or wildflowers. • Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures should be taken during construction activities to minimize potential impacts to the stream system. For erosion control, we recommend (if feasible) using materials that are biodegradable and that do not include plastic netting or have welded-joint poly-based matting. Wildlife entanglement in rolled erosion control products (RECP), especially those that contain plastic netting, is well documented.

Website: https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/parks/natural-areas/ or https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/parks/open-space/conservation-easements/ Additional Sustainable Practices • Install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for your residents. Residents will increasingly expect options for EV charging. Installation costs can vary significantly depending on the parking and electricity distribution at a given location, so it is often easier and cheaper to plan for the installation at construction, rather than doing costly retrofits later. The DNREC Division of Climate, Coastal and Energy offers rebates of up to 90% of the cost of the charging station for commercial, multi-unit dwelling and other public properties. These programs address climate change goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving overall air quality (https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/climate-coastal-energy/clean-transportation/). • Use renewable energy infrastructure such as solar or geothermal to reduce energy costs and further reduce pollution created from offsite generation. Grant funds and incentives are available for Delmarva Power customers through the DNREC Green Energy Fund, which includes several funding types through the state’s major electric utilities (https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/climate-coastal-energy/renewable/assistance/). • Include space for recycling dumpsters within the preliminary site design stage. These can be placed adjacent to trash dumpsters. • Incorporate nonmotorized connectivity and install bicycle racks where feasible to help facilitate non-vehicular travel modes. • Use efficient Energy Star rated products and materials in construction and redevelopment. Energy efficient appliances use less energy over time. This saves consumers and businesses money, while also helping to reduce pollution from power generation. 105

Item 5. PLUS review 2023-07-09 Page 17 of 19 • Use structural paint coatings that are low in Volatile Organic Compounds to help protect air quality. Air pollution from new construction is generated through the use of maintenance equipment, paints, and consumer products like roof coatings and primers. • Use recycled materials, such as reclaimed asphalt pavement, to reduce heat island effects on paved surfaces, prevent landfill waste, and lower material costs.

FEMA National Risk Index • The FEMA National Risk Index is an online mapping application that identifies communities most at risk to 18 natural hazards: Avalanche, Coastal Flooding, Cold Wave, Drought, Earthquake, Hail, Heat Wave, Hurricane, Ice Storm, Landslide, Lightning, Riverine Flooding, Strong Wind, Tornado, Tsunami, Volcanic Activity, Wildfire, and Winter Weather. The FEMA National Risk Index is calculated by multiplying the Expected Annual Loss times the Social Vulnerability and dividing that by the Community Resilience. • According to FEMA’s National Risk Index, the parcel is considered relatively low for overall natural hazards risks. 106

Item 5. PLUS review 2023-07-09 Page 18 of 19 • Community Resilience is a consequence reduction risk component and a community risk factor that represents the ability of a community to prepare for anticipated natural hazards, adapt to changing conditions and withstand/recover rapidly from disruptions. Social Vulnerability is a consequence-enhancing risk factor that represents the susceptibility of social groups to the adverse impacts of natural hazards. • Its community resilience and social vulnerability are rated as relatively high. Renewable Energy Commitment • Regarding energy use and consumption, the parcel utilizes natural gas as the predominant fuel type for heating purposes with electric heat a close second. • DEMA strongly encourages the use of renewable energies and high-efficiency appliances and utilities. Regarding utilities, DEMA suggests incorporating 90% series furnaces/HVAC systems; the closer to 99%, the better, as well as A/C units of 20 Seer or greater. DEMA recommends using tankless water heaters, and battery backup systems for sump pumps to reduce potential water damage from power failure. • Lastly, DEMA encourages the integration of modern and emerging technologies, such as the potential for electric vehicles in garages/parking lots, green roofs where applicable and allowable, and the like. Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) - Contact Karen Horton 302-739-4263 • DSHA supports the proposal for 312 rental units on 40 acres of land near West Denney’s Road in Dover. While this is a market-rate development, it provides a more affordable option for many residents. • This site is also located within a DSHA-defined “Area of Opportunity” which are strong, high value markets, with close job proximity and economic opportunity, high performing schools, amenities and supportive infrastructure that help households succeed. Unfortunately, these same areas contain little affordable housing. DSHA recommends that local stakeholders provide resources to connect these residents to the high-quality services the area has to offer. • Due to the large scale of this project (40 acres, 312 units), DSHA encourages that the developer utilizes thoughtful site layout and design measures. This includes measures that are human-scale and incorporates attractive streetscapes, community recreation areas, visually appealing façade treatments, and significant landscaping measures. These elements all serve to create desirable quality communities where families can thrive. 107

Response: Comment acknowledged; plans to be submitted to DelDOT will reference latest General Notes for Record Plans, Entrance Plans, and Maintenance of Traffic Plans. Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) – Contact Beth Krumrine 302-735-3480 Concerns Identified Within the Development Footprint Wetlands and Subaqueous Lands Recommendation 3: As proposed for this project, do not disturb wetland areas. Wetlands are a critical part of our natural environment. They reduce the impacts of flooding, absorb pollutants, and improve water quality. Wetlands provide habitat for animals and plants and many contain a wide diversity of life, supporting plants and animals that are found nowhere else. Response: Comment acknowledged; the project will be designed to minimize impacts to wetlands and will comply with State and Federal regulations. Recommendation 4: Maintain input to natural wetlands at the pre-construction level. Avoid causing an increase or decrease in the naturally occurring water level. Response: Comment acknowledged. Recommendation 5: Avoid diverting surface water from roadways and stormwater facilities into the wetlands on site. Water quality could be detrimentally affected by run-off, which can contain oil and other pollutants. Response: Comment acknowledged. Recommendation 6: Avoid installing sewers with grates, which can create a hazard for amphibians and reptiles. Response: Comment acknowledged. Recommendation 7: Design the development to exclude curbs. If road curbing is part of the design, curbing that allows small animals, such as turtles and salamanders, to climb out of the roadbed (such as Type 2 or Cape Cod curbing) is preferred over steep, vertical curbing. Response: Comment acknowledged. Recommendation 8: Use open bottom box culverts to allow for natural substrate to remain and in- water passage of aquatic life. Additionally, culverts should be left as wide as possible to ensure that salamanders can travel through them. Response: Comment acknowledged. Vegetated Buffer Zones Recommendation 9: Expand the 30-foot buffer to no less than 100 feet from the edge of wetlands and all waterways to protect water quality and to provide an additional margin of safety for flooding. Response: Comment acknowledged; buffer areas to natural resources will be provided in accordance with the requirements of the City of Dover Code. Strategies will be 117

Item 5. Re: Windward Ridge PLUS Review (2023-07-09) Comments Response September 29, 2023 Page 10 of 17 developed in concert with KCD to provide protection to wetland areas during construction to reduce sediment discharge to these areas. Recommendation 10: Vegetated buffer zones should be left undisturbed during construction and should be identified outside of the Limit of Disturbance on the engineering plans. In some instances, stormwater outfalls, conveyances, and emergency spillways may cross through these zones, and will require temporary disturbance during construction. Response: Comment acknowledged; buffer areas will be designed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Dover Code. Recommendation 11: Vegetated buffer zones should be deeded as community open space. Signage should be installed at the edge and within the buffer zones to deter residents from encroaching into these common areas. Response: Comment acknowledged; buffer areas will be primarily located within community open space areas. Recommendation 12: Maintain vegetated buffer zones as either grasslands/meadows or forest. Buffer zones should be planted exclusively with native trees and plants. Native plants are well-suited to our climate and require limited maintenance. They also provide an increasingly important role in the survival of native birds and beneficial insects whose habitat is shrinking due to development and climate change. Response: Comment acknowledged; riparian buffer areas will be planted and maintained in accordance with requirements of the City of Dover Code. Recommendation 13: Grass cutting for vegetated buffer zones if maintained as meadow should not occur between April 1st to July 31st to reduce impacts to nesting birds and other wildlife species that utilize meadows and grasslands for breeding habitat. Response: Comment acknowledged. Delaware Ecological Network Recommendation 14: Most of the project site lies within lands designated within the Delaware Ecological Network, a statewide network of interconnected lands of significant ecological value. This GIS data layer is based on principles of landscape ecology and conservation biology, providing a consistent framework to identify and prioritize areas for natural resource protection. Forest disturbances on this site will jeopardize habitat on the parcel and likely beyond the parcel’s boundary. Removing forested areas within the Delaware Ecological Network should be avoided to the greatest extent possible. These areas provide wildlife habitat, uptake nutrients, infiltrate stormwater, and improve water quality. Forests also provide shading and cooling, while also reducing carbon that contributes to climate change. Response: Comment acknowledged. Removal of Mature Forest Recommendation 15: The preliminary plan proposes the elimination of approximately 18 of 37 acres of forest on the site. An analysis of historical data indicates that much of the forest area located on the site has likely maintained some degree of forest cover 118

Item 5. Re: Windward Ridge PLUS Review (2023-07-09) Comments Response September 29, 2023 Page 11 of 17 since 1937 and could be considered mature forest. Mature forests possess the potential for rare, threatened, or endangered species that rely on this type of habitat. Removing forested areas for development, especially mature forests, should be avoided to the greatest extent possible. Forests filter water for improved water quality, provide habitat for wildlife, absorb nutrients, infiltrate stormwater, moderate temperatures, and store atmospheric carbon which would otherwise contribute to climate change. Response: Comment acknowledged; forest area removal will be minimized as much as practical for the development and will comply with the City of Dover Code. Recommendation 16: A forest assessment should be conducted to determine if mature forest resources exist on the property and to delineate their boundaries. Additionally, a forest assessment would include the identification of specimen trees and forest-dependent wildlife. If mature forests are found, these areas should be conserved to the maximum extent practicable. Response: Comment acknowledged. Recommendation 17: To reduce impacts to nesting birds and other wildlife species that utilize forests for breeding, it is recommended that tree clearing not occur from April 1st to July 31st. Likewise, avoid mowing open space areas and grass filter strips during the same timeframe, as various species of birds utilize these areas for nesting sites. Response: Comment acknowledged. Special Flood Hazard Area Recommendation 18: As proposed, locate all structures outside of the floodplain. If this is not possible, the developer should consider designing structures to a higher standard to avoid potential future flood damage and loss. Response: Comment acknowledged; no structures are proposed within the floodplain. Key Wildlife Habitat Recommendation 19: The non-tidal coastal plain stream directly adjacent to the property, is mapped as Key Wildlife Habitat in the Delaware Wildlife Action Plan. Key Wildlife Habitat should be conserved to the maximum extent practicable and negative impacts should be minimized. Response: Comment acknowledged; no impacts are expected to this stream as part of this project. Recommendation 20: In the interest of water quality and wildlife habitat, we recommend maintaining an upland buffer of at least 100 ft along rivers, streams and wetlands. This buffer should not be a maintained lawn area and should not contain lot lines or infrastructure. We recommend the buffer area be comprised of the existing vegetation or planted with Delaware native species of trees, shrubs, grasses or wildflowers. Response: Comment acknowledged. Recommendation 21: Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures should be taken during construction activities to minimize potential impacts to the stream system. For 119

Wildlife entanglement in rolled erosion control products (RECP), especially those that contain plastic netting, is well documented. Response: Comment acknowledged. Stormwater Management Recommendation 22: Where the site and soil conditions allow, integrate runoff reduction techniques including infiltration basins, bioretention (rain gardens), filter strips, and pavers to encourage on- site stormwater infiltration and reduce runoff. Response: Comment acknowledged; stormwater management facilities will be designed in accordance the requirements of the DSSR, and the Kent Conservation District. Recommendation 23: For improved stormwater management, preserve existing trees, wetlands, and passive open space. Response: Comment acknowledged. Drainage Recommendation 24: All existing drainage ditches on the property should be evaluated for function and cleaned, if needed, prior to the construction of the project. Response: Comment acknowledged. Recommendation 25: Environmental permits or exemptions may be required by the County Conservation District (Standard Plan), the DNREC Sediment and Stormwater Program (eNOI/NOT), Army Corp of Engineers, and/or DNREC Wetlands and Subaqueous Lands Section prior to clearing and/or excavating ditch channels. Response: Comment acknowledged; these agencies will be consulted through the design of the project when necessary. Recommendation 26: All precautions should be taken to ensure the project does not hinder any off- site drainage upstream of the project or create any off-site drainage problems downstream by the release of on-site storm water. Response: Comment acknowledged; no modifications to the existing natural drainageways are proposed by this project. On-site grading will maintain the current drainage patterns of the neighboring properties. Stormwater management will be provided on site and will be designed in accordance with the current DSSR to reduce the potential for impacts to downstream properties due to discharge of stormwater runoff. Water Quality (Pollution Control Strategies) Recommendation 27: This site lies within the Saint Jones River Watershed. Surface water quality in this watershed does not meet Federal and/or State Water Quality Standards and a Pollution Control Strategy is in place for this watershed. Implement vegetated buffers with a width of at least 100 feet around all water features on or adjacent to the site. Response: Comment acknowledged; buffer areas will be planted and maintained in accordance with requirements of the City of Dover Code. Recommendation 28: Reduce impervious surfaces on the project site by eliminating areas of 120

Response: Comment acknowledged. Recommendation 29: Reduce stormwater runoff by integrating infiltration basins, bioretention (rain gardens), filter strips, and by preserving existing trees, wetlands, and passive open space. Response: Comment acknowledged; stormwater management will be provided on site and will be designed in accordance with the current DSSR and these practices will be considered during the design. Recommendation 30: Reduce the necessity for nutrient application by maintaining open space as meadow or forest planted exclusively with native plants. Native plants are well- suited to our climate and require limited maintenance. Response: Comment acknowledged; open space plantings will be provided in accordance with the requirements of the City of Dover Code. Excellent Groundwater Recharge Area Recommendation 31: For Excellent Groundwater Recharge Areas, limit impervious surfaces to no more than 20% of the entire area designated as having excellent recharge. Response: Comment acknowledged; the project will be designed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Dover Code. Wildlife Displacement Recommendation 32: Removing forested areas for development, especially mature forests, should be avoided to the greatest extent possible. Forests are a key habitat type for wildlife in Delaware. Response: Comment acknowledged. Recommendation 33: Deer, groundhogs, and rabbits will browse on gardens and ornamental landscaping. Reduce the potential for future conflicts between future residents and wildlife by maintaining large blocks of forest, as opposed to small pockets of wooded areas. Response: Comment acknowledged. Mosquitoes Recommendation 34: The project is expected to be impacted by mosquitoes due to its location near large expanses of wetlands. Mosquito control issues are increasing as developments infringe on wetland areas, often leading to increased demands for mosquito control services beyond what DNREC has the resources to provide. If necessary, arrange for long-term mosquito control services through a private company licensed in this area of specialty. In some cases, the DNREC Mosquito Control Section may be able to provide these services free of charge. Response: Comment acknowledged; it is anticipated that the SWM facilities will be designed to provide deep pool areas to accommodate the establishment of native fish to provide level of natural mosquito control within the SWM area. Information regarding Mosquito Control services will be provided to the developer and HOA for their consideration. 121

Re: Windward Ridge PLUS Review (2023-07-09) Comments Response September 29, 2023 Page 14 of 17 Nature Preserves Recommendation 35: The proposed development is located near the Fork Branch Nature Preserve. While across the street, there should be an effort made by the developer to ensure encroachment into the Preserve does not occur. There shall be no staging of equipment on Park property. Response: Comment acknowledged; no disturbance or staging of equipment on Park property is expected for this project. Recommendation 36: While not currently registered as Natural Area, the property’s proximity to Fork Branch Nature Preserve suggests that it may share some or all ecological, historical, cultural, or geologic value as the land within the Nature Preserve. Consider minimizing the development footprint and dedicating forested and wetland areas as a Nature Preserve through a conservation easement or donation of land. For more information, please contact the DNREC Planning Preservation and Development Section. Response: Comment acknowledged; this information will be provided to the developer. Additional Sustainable Practices Recommendation 37: Install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for your residents. Residents will increasingly expect options for EV charging. Installation costs can vary significantly depending on the parking and electricity distribution at a given location, so it is often easier and cheaper to plan for the installation at construction, rather than doing costly retrofits later. The DNREC Division of Climate, Coastal and Energy offers rebates of up to 90% of the cost of the charging station for commercial, multi-unit dwelling and other public properties. These programs address climate change goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving overall air quality (https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/climate-coastal-energy/clean-transportation/). Response: Comment acknowledged; EV charging stations are proposed for this project and this information will be shared with the developer for their consideration. Further details will be provided as part of the Site Plan. Recommendation 38: Use renewable energy infrastructure such as solar or geothermal to reduce energy costs and further reduce pollution created from offsite generation. Grant funds and incentives are available for Delmarva Power customers through the DNREC Green Energy Fund, which includes several funding types through the state’s major electric utilities (https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/climate-coastal- energy/renewable/assistance/). Response: Comment acknowledged; information will be shared with the developer for their consideration. Recommendation 39: Include space for recycling dumpsters within the preliminary site design stage. These can be placed adjacent to trash dumpsters. Response: Comment acknowledged; information will be shared with the developer for their consideration. Recommendation 40: Incorporate nonmotorized connectivity and install bicycle racks where feasible to help facilitate non-vehicular travel modes. 122

Response: Comment acknowledged. Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) - Contact Karen Horton 302-739-4263 Recommendation 49: DSHA supports the proposal for 312 rental units on 40 acres of land near West Denney’s Road in Dover. While this is a market-rate development, it provides a more affordable option for many residents. This site is also located within a DSHA-defined “Area of Opportunity” which are strong, high value markets, with close job proximity and economic opportunity, high performing schools, amenities and supportive infrastructure that help households succeed. Unfortunately, these same areas contain little affordable housing. DSHA recommends that local stakeholders provide resources to connect these residents to the high-quality services the area has to offer. Due to the large scale of this project (40 acres, 312 units), DSHA encourages that the developer utilizes thoughtful site layout and design measures. This includes measures that are human-scale and incorporates attractive streetscapes, community recreation areas, visually appealing façade treatments, and significant landscaping measures. These elements all serve to create desirable quality communities where families can thrive. Response: Comment acknowledged.

Item 6. PETITION TO AMEND TEXT of Dover Zoning Ordinance Report to the Dover Planning Commission October 16, 2023 Proposed Changes: Text Amendments to the following: • Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix B: Zoning (Zoning Ordinance) o Article 3 – District Regulations, Section 13.1 – Central Commercial Zone (C-2) Summary of Amendments: Review of a Text Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 – District Regulations, Section 13. Central commercial zone (C-2), Section 13.1. The Ordinance proposes adding the use of indoor recreation and amusement establishments as a permitted use in the C-2 zone. First Reading was held by City Council on September 11, 2023 where the Public Hearing dates were set for Planning Commission on October 16, 2023 and City Council on October 23, 2023. Ordinance Number: Proposed Ordinance #2023-08 File Number: MI-23-03 I. Background on Development of Text Amendments The proposed ordinance would amend the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) to allow indoor recreation and amusement establishments as a permitted use. This revision was suggested by a realtor from the Commercial Moving Experience Real Estate Company who indicated that the lack of this use is making it difficult to open a gym in the Downtown area that would service the critical mass of citizens the City is hoping to get to the Downtown and that he believes that this is an important service that should be offered if we want to attract more residents to this area. Indoor recreation and amusement establishments are an allowed use in the following zoning districts: • IO (Institutional and Office Zone) • C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) • C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) • IPM-2 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone – Business and Technology Center) 150

MI-23-03 Text Amendments: C-2 Zone DAC Report Summary Item 6. Page 2 of 4 Proposed New Uses The addition of indoor recreation and amusement establishments to the C-2 zone found in the Downtown area will allow the opening of an indoor gym in the downtown district. II. Code Review & Analysis: Planning Staff believes that any revisions to the C-2 zoning district need to stay within similar parameters. The C-2 Zone allows for a mix of uses both residential and commercial. See the following code excerpt regarding uses in the C-2 zone. 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 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. III. Summary of Proposed Text Amendments: Key components of the proposed Text Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 20A – Central Commercial Zone includes the following: • Article 3 Section 13.1 – Add use: (i) Indoor recreation and amusement establishments. Text Amendment Review Process Because this is a Text Amendment proposed to the Zoning Ordinance, a Public Hearing and Recommendation by the Planning Commission are required. This review process began when the proposed Ordinance was submitted to the City Council for First Reading on September 11, 2023. City Council has referred the Ordinance #2023-08 to Planning Commission for a Public Hearing 151

MI-23-03 Text Amendments: C-2 Zone DAC Report Summary Item 6. Page 3 of 4 and consideration on October 16, 2023. Then it is scheduled for Final Reading, Public Hearing and Final Action by Council on October 23, 2023. At the meeting the City Council may act to adopt the whole Ordinance, to reject it, to adopt part of the Ordinance, and/or to make other amendments to the proposed text. IV. RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING STAFF: Review and Recommendations: Planning Staff developed the proposed Ordinance for the Text Amendment for the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) because of consideration of economic development strategies and interaction with developers/property owners. As part of the process outlined in Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 Section 5, the City Planner must evaluate the following factors when preparing a report on the text amendment request: Article 10 § 5.22 City planner report. For each proposed zoning text amendment, the city planner shall issue a report to the planning commission and city council, including comments from other reviewing agencies, that evaluates the following factors: (A) Whether such change is consistent with the aims and principles embodied in the ordinance as to the particular zones concerned; and; (B) Whether proposed amendment is consistent with the aims of the comprehensive plan of the city. The Planning Office is in support of these changes to the permitted uses in the C-2 zoning district to add indoor recreation and amusement establishments. The 2019 Comprehensive Plan as part of Chapter 11: Housing and Community Development Plan under Goal 3: Provide Safe and Healthy Livable Neighborhoods, Recommendation 7: Articulate the Link Between Housing and Health discusses complete neighborhoods and mixed- use developments. A recreational facility in the Downtown District encourages healthy lifestyles of residents in the area or ones traveling to the area. See pages 11-14 and 11-17. Additionally, the Chapter 12: Land Development Plan, starting on page 12-7, discusses Residential High Density Areas its opportunities and then goals for Mixed Use Areas including in Downtown Dover. For the Land Development Plan and its principles, one of the goals is to encourage redevelopment of the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area with a mix of residential, commercial and office uses. See Page 12-2. This Text Amendment to the C-2 zone clarifies and enhances the potential mixed uses in the C-2. Additionally, the following advisory items are noted. 1) The Planning Office provided an opportunity to Development Advisory Committee (DAC) members to comment on the proposed Text Amendments at their meetings on September 27, 2023 and October 4, 2023. No other Agency which partakes in the DAC process had any significant comment or objection with regards to the proposed Text Amendments to the C-2 zone. 2) The Proposed Ordinance is also subject to Legal Review by the City Solicitor, which may identify additional clarifications or corrections. 152

MI-23-03 Text Amendments: C-2 Zone DAC Report Summary Item 6. Page 4 of 4 3) The approval of this Text Amendment does not authorize the establishment of the uses on properties within the C-2 zone. Prior to the establishment of a use, the appropriate applications for site development activity plan review, Building Permits, and other construction activity Permits, Business and Occupancy Licensing, etc. are required. V. PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW FOR RECOMMENDATION This is a request for a zoning text amendment which revises the text in the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission as part of their public hearing and review process will provide a recommendation on the zoning text amendment request to City Council. As part of the process outlined in Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 Section 5, the Planning Commission must evaluate the following factors when considering the request: Article 10 § 5.23 Report of the planning commission. Regarding each proposed amendment to the ordinance text, the planning commission shall provide a report to the city council stating a recommended action with regards to the proposed amendment, along with the commission's evaluation of the following factors: (A) Whether such change is consistent with the aims and principles embodied in the ordinance as to the particular zones concerned; and (B) Whether such proposed amendment is consistent with the aims of the comprehensive plan of the city.
