COMMUNICATIONS & REPORTS Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the next Planning Commission regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, July 21, 2025, at 7 PM. We do have an application that was just filed to be heard that evening. Mrs. Melson-Williams provided an update on the regular City Council and various Committee meetings held on June 9 & 10, 2025. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that as noted, we are processing a number of Event Permits tied to festivals. She believes this coming weekend would be the African American Festival and then we will be into the Fourth of July soon after. There is an update on the Kenton Road project if your travels take you to that part of the City. There was a Public Advisory that was issued today. They are still in Phase 2 where the southbound of Kenton Road between College Road and Route 8 is closed. Hopefully that will be transitioning later this month but for more detailed information about their phasing for this project, it is recommended that you visit the website that they have up which is www.Kentonroadimprovements.com. It lays out all of the phases; it gives aerial shots of current conditions in the corridor. Their phasing plan takes them through June 2026 at this point. It looks like they may have to pause a little bit over the winter depending on what type of activity they are going to be in. That corridor from Route 8 to Maple Dale Road is going to have various versions of closures over the next year. 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. 1 3

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. OLD BUSINESS Requests for Extensions of Planning Commission Approval: None NEW BUSINESS Presentation on Dover's Downtown Development District (DDD) Program Relaunch Visit https://www.cityofdover.com/departments/Planning/dovers-downtown-development- district-210248 Representative: Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Rossi Group Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that our first presentation this evening is a presentation on Dover’s Downtown Development District Program. We call it the DDD. It is a relaunch, and we have Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend from the Rossi Group and also Mr. Chris Salzano from the Planning Office who will be giving this presentation this evening. Mrs. Townshend stated that for those of you who may not be as familiar with the history of the Downtown Development District Program, in 2014 the General Assembly passed the Downtown Development District Act. The purpose of the Act was to spur capital investments, stimulate job growth, help build a stable community of long-term residents by improving housing opportunities, and assist municipalities basically in strengthening the Downtowns. There was an application period. The City of Dover submitted an application along with a District Plan and we were one of the first three designated in that first round. There was one from each County. It was Wilmington, Dover and Seaford. The way that the program works is that the designation is good for ten years and then after the 10 years, the designated municipalities are eligible for up to two, five-year extensions. As of today, there are twelve designated Downtown Development Districts and three came up on the first window of renewal; again, Wilmington, Seaford and Dover. We submitted last year; Rossi Group worked with the City to develop the District Plan, do the program assessment, and complete the application. That was done and it went to the Cabinet Committee on State Planning Issues and then last summer, the City got a letter from the Governor letting us know that we were extended for an additional five years. So, that extension began on February 1, 2025, and will go through January 30, 2030. The bulk of the program success in Dover really has been the housing. There has been really some transformational change in neighborhoods. When we did the application in 2014, we used two different planning documents as kind of the direction for the plan. They were kind of the heart of the plan. One of those was “Restoring Central Dover” which NCALL, now NeighborGood Partners, was the lead. There still is a lot of collaboration through “Restoring Central Dover” on improving the housing stock, providing homeownership opportunities really for people who are low to moderate income. One of the big fears when you get into revitalization is, are you going to displace the people who live there to bring in new people with more money and then you end up with gentrification. Through Restoring Central Dover, there has really been an effort to balance everything. More than 65 homes have been built between Habitat for Humanity, NeighborGood Partners, Milford Housing Development Corporation, and then a few built by private for-profit builders. That was really transformational. You can see North Kirkwood Street just entirely 2 4

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. transformed and if you drive around Downtown, you can really see the difference. There have been some very successful commercial investments as well. Janaid’s on Loockerman Street was one of the first two or three projects in Dover to actually get through the program and get the rebate. He is doing very well, and he is now looking at doing residential on the upstairs of his properties, which again, is one of the priorities of all of the Downtown planning. Rail Haus is another example of a large commercial success. Stonerail Market is another example. The commercial success hasn’t been as transformational as we were hoping. She thinks COVID didn’t help us with that. But certainly, she thinks the winds are shifting and things are getting stronger in that area. There are a variety of incentives. The big incentive with the State’s Downtown Development District Program is a rebate of up to 20% of the capital cost of construction, renovation or whatever of the project. She can’t think of one property owner or business owner who has taken advantage of this that we talked to, that didn’t say that this was the difference that made it viable. Without this 20% rebate, the numbers just wouldn’t work. The other thing is that the State wants to see that the local governments also have some skin in the game. The City has a variety of incentives. There is a waiver of the City’s portion of the water and wastewater impact fees, a waiver of the Building Permit fees, and a waiver of the Business License fees for new businesses. You still have to get your license, just for three years it doesn’t have a fee. Then, here is a 10-year property tax abatement where basically the taxes come in over time. There is also a transfer tax rebate after a project is complete. The last one is the Historic Tax Credit which the City has had for quite some time but that is one of the tools in the toolbox. The Downtown Dover Partnership also has some incentives. For many years, they have had a very successful Façade Grant Program. When we started the Downtown Development District in 2015, they started offering architectural assistance so that if people were doing renovations, it would help to pay for those architectural costs. When we did this back in 2014/2015, we thought about what the challenges that they were finding. There were a lot of people wanting to do renovations on commercial buildings, but they did not have the funds to pay for an architect; so, that was an incentive that really helped people do it the right way, which is what we want. In more recent years, the Downtown Dover Partnership has funding for what is called a Critical Improvement Program. Under that program, they help with the cost of life safety, ADA accessibility, commercial kitchens, and upstairs residential. One of the things that people don’t like to do, and she certainly understands, is when you get to a certain level of renovation and your space is a certain size, it has to be sprinklered. It’s expensive; this helps to make that cost bearable because the Downtown Dover Partnership, in some cases has provided up to $300,000 in support to make some of these things happen. For the first ten years or so of the program, Kent County also had a rebate that they would do up to $10,000 and that is unfortunately, no longer part of the puzzle. As part of the Renewal Application, we did an evaluation and we did focus groups. We really talked to the people who did the projects, found out what worked and what didn’t. The numbers are between 2015 and 2023 as that was the data that they had when we did this. The State Rebates totaled $1.6 million. The value of the City’s Incentives was $73,000 and the private investment leverage of $13.2 million. That’s the goal of the program; it’s to replicate that type of success. The application to update the District Plan was done last spring. City Council approved it in May 2024. The letter from the Governor came in August 2024 and then in February 2025, City 3 5

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. Council approved an Ordinance that amended the boundary. With the initial program, we were more confined in how much land we could have. She thinks it was 225 acres to start and now its 275 acres. We really worked to figure out where was the need. Where are the places that if you expand that boundary, it could really make a difference? Most of that was on the west side. Also in a prior expansion, the boundary on the east side on Loockerman Street was taken to Mirror Lake because you have the old Post Office and you have Treadway Towers; there is opportunity there. That Ordinance was adopted in February and now we get into the relaunch. They have been working on the materials associated with the program and this is where she is going to turn it over to Mr. Salzano to explain. Mr. Salzano stated that as part of the Downtown Development District Relaunch, we developed a variety of different forms as well as a new website with our consultants at Rossi Group. The first thing (shown on the screen) is our updated website. It is simpler, sleeker and easier for the general public to navigate to get any information they need. Through some talks with our partners at the State, we learned that Dover is one of three Downtown Development Districts that the State still hosts a website for. Since we are now able to maintain our web presence, it would beneficial for us to really fully take over for our DDD website to be the premier location to find all of that information on Dover’s District. Part of this Relaunch and in the next couple of months, we will be updating and integrating the information from the State’s page as well as tweaking some things from their page that they liked and we think could benefit people who are looking to take advantage of Dover’s Downtown Development District. It’s to just help guide people to easy information, the people to contact, and help find any information that they may need or helpful links. Mrs. Townshend mentioned the updated boundary and this is one of the various sheets that they worked on developing with Rossi. The sheet on the screen shows the whole of the Downtown Development District and specifically that DDD Area. They have been divided into that DDD and a Target Area; and this is specifically showing people that this is the Downtown Development District proper. This is where you can leverage all of the City’s incentives, the State’s incentives, and everything that is really at your disposal for improvement in Downtown Dover. The next slide shows that expanded Target Area. It shows you that this is still an area that you can leverage some incentives but not necessarily all of those same incentives as you can within the Downtown Development District itself. Both of these forms as well as the next few forms have been simplified and streamlined as well as turned into fillable PDF forms for ease of digital navigation and filling out. As part of the DDD Program and as far as the State Historic Preservation Incentives and the City’s Historic Preservation Incentives, we developed a form that is showing the various Historic Districts within Dover itself as well as the Dover Historic District proper. This form shows the incentives that you could leverage if you purchase a historic property as well as where the National Registered Districts are in comparison to where the Dover’s Historic District is considered. Dover’s is that large orange district labeled as the City of Dover Historic Zone. Within that zone, he is sure that we are all aware that there are some additional regulations on what you can and cannot do, but there is also some great incentives including tax incentives for purchasing and renovating a property within that zone. Finally, this is the Downtown Homeownership Incentives Form. Again, we are showing you the overall DDD Area and this form goes over what the Homeownership Incentives are for the Downtown Area, including those Tax Rebates and the Transfer Rebates. This is simplicity and again, making sure the general public can easily access and go through these forms without having too many questions before they come into the Planning Office and start talking about 4 6

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. moving forward with a project. Finally, talking about having incentives, we have our new Incentive Application Form. This form, also streamlined by our partners at Rossi Group and what they have done here is turned it into a fillable form so that it can be easily transferred to the City via email. You can fill it out, give it to a Planner or to the Front Desk and we can evaluate it before you even have to come into City Hall which will definitely help save some people some time if they have any questions. It’s just generally make getting DDD applications in and processed easier for everyone involved. Mrs. Townshend stated that with the boundary change, one of the things that we did was worked with Public Works to put signage at the new locations where you enter the District. It was brought up at the meeting when we were with the Council Committee of the Whole last week about doing something with the Kent Economic Partnership, then Central Delaware Chamber, and the Downtown Dover Partnership to really work together to promote that. That was something that we discussed in the Plan and in the program evaluation. We actually have a meeting next week with them to talk about how we can really work together to really promote the program and promote the incentives. With that, once that meeting is done they will have a press release that will kind of give that public push to hopefully get some more traction on it and get it in people’s news feeds. Mr. Lewis asked if they had any data or knowledge of how Dover’s progress compares to the other communities that are involved. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Townshend stated that she is going to ask Mr. David Edgehill to answer but every town seems to have a different type of success. Milford has had a lot of business success and they have also had housing. Seaford had that huge large project. Our real success was that transformational change in the neighborhoods. The non-profits that were part of that leveraged other State funds through Strong Neighborhoods. She is not sure that it is easier to say that Dover is more successful or less successful because the way that the program has played out has just been very different. Mr. Edgehill stated that one of the things that they do in their office is administer the Downtown Development District Program. He was on the team 11-12 years ago that came up with the Downtown Development District Program with Governor Markell and his team. So, your question is how does Dover compare to the other districts and he thinks Mrs. Townshend answered it quite well. Every district has got their own sort of trajectory and their own type of success. He would say that you can’t compare any of the districts to Wilmington because Wilmington has a larger type of development. If you look at the metrics, they have really absorbed a majority of the funding. If we look at apples to apples, but it’s really not the same thing, because Dover has been extremely successful with the neighborhoods and with the housing. Whereas, he thinks one of the things that they learned through the renewal process and the application that Dover put together with Rossi’s help was really the desire to sort of shift that momentum to more mixed use and larger projects. There are two types of projects in the program. There are Small Projects under $250,000. They are small businesses and homeowners. Large Projects are anything over that and that requires a reservation. But typically, they are larger projects and Dover has had probably not as many of those as we had probably hoped, but as you know, they are poised to see more of those in the coming years which is why the Renewal was very important to Dover and to us. Again, for the other Districts, we have some that are on the lower tier of not having as many projects as we had hoped but most of them are doing quite 5 7

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. well. The three Renewal Districts that had the full ten years to operate the program, all saw transformational change in their Downtowns and were poised. Part of it is having to make the pitch, “well, we aren’t done yet; we have more to do.” In Dover’s case, it was the commercial mixed-use side of things. In Seaford’s case, they had a tremendous success with their Downtown called High Street with an almost 0% vacancy rate with large residential projects. They shifted their success to the neighborhood’s gateway into the Downtown that they hadn’t seen as much activity in. Wilmington, believe it or not they have had great success in their Market Street Corridor with multi-story mixed use buildings, condos, apartments, restaurants, so on and so forth. But they really haven’t done as well with housing. They have got a lot of issues in their neighborhoods on either side of their district and they struggle to shift the focus there. That is just a quick overview but he thinks Dover is doing great. He is really happy that you got the program and that you got the five year renewal now to make some more progress. Dr. Jones stated that following up on the previous question, is there concerted efforts or stepped up efforts to try to increase the business side of that? Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Townshend stated yes, this is her speaking as someone who has just been around for a long time; we are finally in a position that we are getting significant funds from the State. She knows when she was with the City, she used to say “all the money goes to Wilmington. We need Wilmington money to make a huge dent.” And for the first time, we have that. 25 million dollars from the State through ARPA and other sources and that is going to push the Mobility Center and the multi- story Mixed Use Building at the former Acme site to reality. Sometimes it’s just really hard to get the numbers to work even with that 20% and that funding from the State is going to help push it over and then there are people who are kind of poised to kind of follow suit once that momentum gets going. Dr. Jones asked if there is a residency requirement for the housing. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Townshend stated that there isn’t. For the Homeownership Incentives, yes it has to be a primary residence. If for instance you are getting Dover First Start money, one it has to be income qualified. She thinks it has to be under a certain percentage of Area Median Income. You have to qualify per HUD. For the Tax Abatement for owner occupied residential, it has to be your primary residence so it can’t be an investment property. But the 20% rebate, it doesn’t matter. Dr. Jones asked if the applicant has to be a resident of the State of Delaware. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Townshend stated that she didn’t believe so. Dr. Jones asked if there was a requirement for the new homeowner to remain in that home for any period of time. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Townshend stated that there is not with the DDD Program itself. But the other funding that was leveraged to build all of these new homes, again it was primarily led by NeighborGood Partners and Habitat, and Habitat holds the mortgage. So, they have that mechanism. Typically, the other subsidy that goes into the house, what happens is, it gets placed as a lien like a forgivable loan; and it gets forgivable incrementally over time. Depending on the funding sources, that horizon service is usually five or ten years. If you do sell before that, you have to pay back. Mr. Witham stated that he noticed that they issued press releases and his question is that there is 6 8

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. a lot going on Downtown with the Downtown Development projects but he doesn’t see high visibility on what has happened and what it’s doing. Are you trying to count your successes with these projects on other advertising platforms to really get the word out, not just to the Dover community, but to the outside world? Like using YouTube or going to get something on WDOV on television. It’s advertising all of this activity to get the word out, not just issuing a press release. The only people who read a press release are the press. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Townshend stated that’s the plan for the meeting that we are having next week; to really among those non-governmental entities that are promoting Dover to really start to develop that method and that strategy. That is the goal for next week for the meeting that they are having with the Chamber, the Kent Economic Partnership, and the Downtown Dover Partnership. Mr. Witham stated that one thing that he has noticed over the years is that improvements are slowly and incrementally coming to Dover but the fact is that we have a lack of really nice Downtown restaurants. People have tried very hard to build those nice restaurants, though some have failed and some have done better than others. There was a time in which Downtown Dover had a plethora of restaurants and that seemed to attract a lot of people coming Downtown. He knows that we have a situation where did the chicken come first or did the egg come first in attracting people and businesses Downtown, but we still have a high degree of vacancy of buildings Downtown which is problem. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Townshend stated that is where the Downtown Dover Partnership with their Critical Improvement Program has identified priorities being restaurants and residential above business. That is where they have said these are the things that we are going to find. It is very costly to install a commercial kitchen so that is where they are trying to get the money into people’s hands that way to help them pay for those improvements. Part of the challenge with a restaurant is once you pay for the commercial kitchen and everything, you are so leveraged before you even open the door that it’s really hard, which is why you see a high failure rate. The idea is that if the Partnership can help get some of the commercial kitchens underway, that will take the burden off of business owners. Mrs. Denney stated that for many years she managed medical practices and also did some things for the hospital and one of our major issues was recruiting physicians. Obviously Bayhealth has grown; it was a very small rural hospital. She could follow the doctors through the residencies and their fellowships and bring them down and entertain them. Everything was great, but the wife did not spend her life driving around in her little Volkswagen Bug trying to get her husband through med school and residency and followship. So first, the doctors come, and everything is great and then they come back with the wife. The hospital meets with the doctor again and she takes the wife on tours of schools, churches, and housing. It was very difficult to get them to want to live in Dover. Boscov’s was not their idea of shopping. They hadn’t waited all of these years to shop there; they wanted to be in Nordstroms. It was very difficult, and it was interesting because she would take them out to dinner and she would tell them about when she lived in Camden. Getting up on Saturday morning for a cup of coffee and she would say lets go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or the beach or lets go to the Smithsonian because it totally surrounds you if you think about it; it’s just not right here. Which is how she ended up getting on the board that was trying to develop the Schwartz Center because she felt like that was at least something. It did help and they did have a lot of things going on there that seemed to have faded away, but she honestly thinks we are headed in the right direction, but we need fine dining. It’s not just doctors that you have to recruit; it’s doctors’ wives, it’s accountants, lawyers, etc. 7 9

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. Responding to Mrs. Denney, Mrs. Townshend stated that when they were working on the plan update and we were talking to Delaware State University who had just acquired the Wesley Campus, one of the things that they said is that students who are at the Downtown Campus, when families come to visit they go to the highway. We need to get to where they go somewhere nice Downtown; that it’s not just the highway. She thinks that we are really on the cusp of that happening. She is going to be honest, and again, she feels like she uses this as a reason for so many things that haven’t gone according to plan and personally, she thinks COVID really hurt us. We had 33 West that was packed all of the time and closed. She really feels like we had momentum going into that. Mrs. Denney stated that Mrs. Townshend is right on target. We have to remember that we had that hiccup of COVID that set everybody behind. All of the prices got higher, and the economy was shrinking, and it was very difficult. The other thing is that many years ago when she managed the Town of Camden, she wrote an article for Delaware Today Magazine. It was about the castles, the palaces, and the playground. She described Kent County as being the mote in between and she felt that. Anything that was happening, if it was in the Delaware Today Magazine or the papers or anything, we were always on the last page of the book. She wrote a letter to the editor about that, and they printed it on the inside back cover of the book. She thinks that it’s interesting because she is finally feeling like some of that is slowly changing; especially post COVID. We have a lot of things going on such as the Amish Bike Tour. We always have great Dover Days. Responding to Mrs. Denney, Mrs. Townshend stated that Dover Con has become a huge thing. Mrs. Denney stated that it is huge and people travel. Back then, we had the races and things were really beginning, and she feels like we got pushed back. She feels like things are hopeful again and she tends to refer to Dover as the Capital City of the State that started this Nation. We should be using that to attract people who want to understand history. It’s right here. Her hope is that things are beginning to turn. Mr. Lewis stated that just for the record, the races are still here on July 18-20, 2025. Dovermotorspeedway.com for ticket information. Dr. Jones stated that we have had such an influx of people coming to Delaware, coming to Kent County for reasons that we all know and many of them come with financial resources from pensions and homes. You hear them say “I have to go here to do this and that.” She won’t repeat anything that has been said but that is something to think about. Her question is, in the planning and the brainstorming, how has transportation or lack of come into play or been discussed or has it? Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Townshend stated that it has. In the Capital City 2030 Plan which is the heart of the Downtown Development District Plan for the next five years, we wrote the plan around that. They identified activity centers. You have the State Complex, Delaware State University, Bayhealth, and the Air Base. They identified these different activity centers and a lot of the plan was how do you tie together those activity centers and transportation is part of that. They didn’t get great detail on transportation in the Capital City 2030 Plan but coming out that, the Downtown Dover Partnership and the Dover/Kent MPO put together a consultant and put together the “Pathways Plan” that really looked at how when you look at these activity centers and these activity nodes, how do you connect them through multi-modal whether it’s 8 10

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. transit, scooters, micro-mobility, bikes, or improving sidewalks. That plan was finalized at the end of last year. The other component of that is that they added on a streetscape for Loockerman Street because she thinks everybody knows that sometime next year, everything is going to be dug up to improve the water/sewer, stormwater, and everything underground. Then, when they build back what they want, they took that opportunity and developed a streetscape that would activate the sidewalks to make wider sidewalks in some areas. Yes, it’s definitely part of the equation and it has gotten some definite planning around it. She thinks that our transit system here is more of a regional transit, not a local transit and that is a challenge. But if we can continue to improve the opportunity for people to get around on bike or on foot, she thinks that will definitely help some. One of her colleague’s, his son just moved to Philly and he gets around by electric scooter. It takes less time than driving and it’s easier than walking because it’s also less time. So, places are doing it. Obviously, we are not Philly but right now she doesn’t think that you could really take a scooter on a lot of our sidewalks. Dr. Jones stated that not only that, but we would have to take a look at our demographics. Those people moving in are not riding bikes. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Townshend stated that what is interesting is that you talk about bikes, when she was in Lewes, one of their residents who was a very involved Dover resident and now is a very involved Lewes resident who is in his 80’s. She would see him out on his e-bike. E-bikes have made cycling more accessible regardless of age. So, it’s changing but we still need to be careful.

We have Mr. David Edgehill and Mr. Josh Thomas who have a variety of things to share with us tonight. Mr. Edgehill stated that he is the Director of the Delaware Office of State Planning Coordination and he is also a Dover resident. He lives right across the street from Mrs. Denney. We have been neighbors since 1997. It is great living in Dover and being here with you tonight. With him tonight is Mr. Josh Thomas. He has a presentation for you tonight. He is going to tell you all about our office and what we do and how we interact with our local governments including City of Dover. You already know about the Downtown Development Districts and he just wanted to follow up with Mr. Lewis. He actually found some information about how Dover is doing compared to the rest. Mr. Thomas is going to tell you a little more about the program, although he thinks we know an awful lot about Downtown Development District now so we can maybe skip through that. He mentioned Wilmington which is kind of a different category. In terms of total updated figures as of the end of 2024, total private investment in Dover is up to $18.8 million with $2.1 million of State Rebate associated with that. That puts Dover in terms of total investments, fourth among the twelve (12) districts. The others are Wilmington, Milford, and Seaford but Dover is actually the third highest in the number of the five large projects. Dover is doing great, holding your on and making great prides with that program with much more to go. 9 11

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. Our office has a very small staff, a really dedicated team that does a lot of things together but we do specialize and are organized around three circuit rider planners. We have one Principal Planner assigned to each County. Mr. Thomas is the Principal Planner assigned to Kent County; so, he is the person who works closely with Dover. Mr. Thomas stated that they really just wanted to give you an overview of our Office and kind of our roles and responsibilities and how we work with the City of Dover Staff and some of the ways we engage with the City currently and some of the things we can do going forward. Also, we’ll just touch on a few of the current things that we are working on. As you can see on the screen, our Mission Statement and a lot of times in planning you talk about the three C’s. It is right in our name; the biggest thing is coordination for us and they are trying to bring the different levels of government together to make really smart and efficient land use decisions. The first thing that he really wants to touch on is new for 2025; we just launched our email newsletter. We are really excited about this and we have actually only had one. We anticipate our second one going out tomorrow so you have an opportunity to be an earlier subscriber. If you want to be in the know about things we are working on, give us your email address before we leave and we will make sure you hopefully get the email tomorrow morning. The pdf that we provided to Staff does have some links in there. Obviously, if you don’t do it immediately, we can still get you connected. That newsletter is going to have helpful information about things that are happening and he is going to touch on some of those a little later in the presentation. Starting at the high level, one of the most common ways that we interact with our local government partners is through the comprehensive planning process. You see a couple examples on the screen. Dover is in the middle. It is hard to believe that we are at the five year mark already; we are at the halfway point. We was actually talking to Staff recently about the fact that we are at the five-year review time. It is very encouraging to see that the next item on the agenda is looking at the Comprehensive Plan. We work with Dover and all of the other local governments during the drafting process to provide guidance during that process and then of course to take it through the administrative approval process, ultimately leading to the certification. Really, once we get the Comprehensive Plan certified, we really try to provide some technical assistance and work with local governments to implement the plan. One of the ways that we have done that successfully is through master planning efforts throughout the years. We are here to provide technical assistance to local governments in any ways that we need to implement the plan. One of the other ways that we will interface directly with local governments a lot is through the Preliminary Land Use Service (PLUS). Some of you may be familiar with the process, but we are going to go through what PLUS is and what it’s not. Applicants who are working on projects come through PLUS but also local governments do come through PLUS as well when there is an amendment to a plan or something like that. That is another way that we work with Dover or other local governments. For what PLUS is and what it’s not; it is a review of major projects. It is a State level review of major land use proposals. We are coordinating with State agencies and property owners or developers about important things about the project before the local land use and approval process. We try to use that to look for alignment with the Strategies for State Policies and Spending which is another thing that he is going to talk about. It can provide some high level information about permitting requirements for State agencies that applicants may not have known about. Really, it is trying to provide some early information to hopefully help applicants navigate the process in a smoother fashion. It is important to note that it is not an approval or denial process for project. It does not replace the local land use decision making 10 12

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. process and it is not a permitting application. It is just important to lay that out, especially for members of the public who may be listening as well. Why do applications have to go through PLUS and which ones? Previously, he mentioned that it exists to encourage that alignment between different levels of government and also it is required in Delaware Code for certain projects, mainly because of the benefits that it provides in that early coordination across the agencies. There is a base set of criteria in State Code, but a majority of our local governments actually do have separate arrangements with our office that changes the criteria just a little bit. You can see on the screen that Dover does have a Memorandum of Understanding with our office and that provides the criteria in terms of what types of projects have to go through the PLUS process. You are seeing residential projects that have 125 or more dwelling units come through PLUS. The base number in State Code is actually 50 units. You can see that when we have local government partners who are very familiar with the planning process and PLUS and the types of things that might be brought to light in PLUS, we can sometimes raise those thresholds. For non-residential projects, you are looking at 75,000 SF or greater. It is also important to note that one of the other requirements for PLUS is for any type of Rezoning or Comprehensive Plan Amendment. There are times when you have to amend your Comprehensive Plan and that may require a PLUS review but there also may be times when there is a Rezoning or a change to a property that is inconsistent with the Plan and that will kind of force an amendment to happen. So that is another way that we would have to go through the PLUS process. The next slide shows some real brief stats from PLUS so that you can kind of get a sense of the number of applications and it shows by type. Last fiscal year, they had a total of 97 PLUS applications. This gives you a sense of the number of land use reviews going on around the State. It is not a huge number but those are the larger projects. The graph on the slide gives you a breakdown. You can see that the majority of them were Subdivision Plans or Site Plans. But as he mentioned, there were 13 different Comprehensive Plan amendments. Our website has a wealth of information that hopefully you can get in there and navigate around. The PLUS process does have a Dashboard if you ever want to see a map based interface showing current projects or previous projects, check out the Dashboard and explore that. You can link to all the applications, plans, and comment letters. The PLUS stats kind of hinted at this, but every year the Cabinet Committee on State Planning Issues works with our office to prepare an Annual Report on State Planning Issues. That is an advisory document to the Governor’s Office and the General Assembly. There is a link in the pdf but also he just wanted to show you some brief screen shots and kind of promote this Report as a resource for you. We do publish that every October so we will be working on the 2025 Report very soon. That Report always starts with development trends. We are very grateful that City of Dover annually provides our office with the Building Permit stats and development application stats that they can then use to compile with all of the other local governments around the State to produce some summary information about how we are growing. This is really kind of a plug for the Report. You can see how we try to break it down by looking at five year timeframes, looking at where the development is happening and at what State strategy levels. The next slide shows a screenshot of our Development Trends Dashboard. This is another resource on our website and this is a way more interactive version of what he just showed you. The Annual Report will give you those high- level stats but then the Dashboard allows you to go in and look at individual applications on a map. You get a sense of the distribution of the development and you can see how we are growing. You can look at Building Permits, Development Applications, and you are also looking at PLUS Applications. This is a really helpful resource that we encourage you to use when you 11 13

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. want to get some of that information about our development trends. We also work with local governments on Municipal Annexations. That is primarily through the Plan of Services Process. When a local government has a proposal for Annexation, the local government works with our office to submit a Plan of Services approval request, potentially documenting that the local government has worked with the property owners and all of the providers of infrastructure and services to document that that property can be served by town resources. Once that Plan of Services Application is approved by our office, then the local government can proceed with Annexation process. The Annual Report just gives you some quick numbers. Last year, they had 29 Plan of Services Applications for roughly 1,000 acres 21 of those actually did get adopted so that meant that 644 acres have been formally annexed. Of course that number does fluctuate. We also try to coordinate a wealth of demographic information. We do have the Census State Data Center responsibilities in our Office; so we do provide coordination with the Delaware Population Consortium and also the Census data and our website has a lot of that information as well. The last presentation by Mrs. Townshend and Mr. Salzano did a great job of talking about DDD’s so we don’t need to spend a lot of time on it. We practically covered everything but the only thing that he will say is just a reminder that really the Office of State Planning is your partner when it comes to administering the designation process. We were very proud that Dover was the first District to get approved by the State for renewal. Rossi Group and City Staff were fantastic to work with on that process. So, that is our role in the process but then we also have the State Housing Authority who is administering the rebate program and working through those details. One of the other roles that we have is GIS coordination. Essentially, that is our Geographic Information Systems data and our office has a GIS Coordinator named Jason Vogl; and he participates with stakeholders and public throughout the State and a lot of local government Staff members to essentially make sure that all of the data that you need to make decisions on land use and planning and administrative decisions is available. A lot of that comes through the First Map Portal. That is just a fancy name for the platform that kind of serves all of the data. Last but not least, he wants to spend a little time talking about the Strategies for State Policies and Spending. As he mentioned, he tried to give an overview as a refresher about the roles of our office and what we provide the local governments, but this topic here is a little more timely because we are working on the five-year update of this policy document. So, he just wants to spend a lot time going through State Strategies and he is talking about where we are in the current update process. We started off the presentation talking about how important coordination is and really the purpose of the Strategies for State Policy and Spending; we commonly shorten that to State Strategies. The purpose is to coordinate the land use decisions that happen at the local government level with the provision of infrastructure services at the State level. As you probably know, there are not that many states where the State government provides the bulk of the infrastructure and services. So, we need to coordinate that because if we do not coordinate them, then we have land use policies that could cause wasteful spending on infrastructure, lack of coordination where we are really not developing efficiently and we could be doing better. If we don’t have that coordination between infrastructure and local decisions, then programs like the DDD that we just talked about and all of the benefits of those programs will not be as successful. This slide shows the Delaware Code requirement. You can see the highlighted portions of text that talk about this as the State’s primary policy guide. The point is to support the most efficient use of State resources. We have to update it every five years. On the screen, you 12 14

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. have a snapshot of the current Strategies and then he is going to go through briefly and talk about the different levels before we get into the update. He just wants to remind everyone that even though we are working on the 2025 Strategies, until that is officially adopted and implemented through an executive board by Governor Meyer’s Office, the 2020 Strategies are still in effect and that is important to note. The map from 2020 Strategies is shown on the screen but it just provides an overview and a little zoom into Kent County. Take a mental snapshot of the colors and how they interact with the way you know the State looks in terms of its distribution along Route 1 and Route 13. The five different levels are Levels 1-4 and Out of Play and are represented on that map in a series of colors. What we are doing this year is we’ve produced what they are calling “level profiles” and we are going to have versions of this information in the document like you are seeing on the slide. It tries to break it down as simple as possible of what the land uses look like in the different investment levels. Level 1 that is where we are right now. It’s you urban centers, your downtowns, and your municipalities. You have a wide range of uses. As we talked about with DDD, you are trying to encourage a lot of infill and redevelopment and downtown revitalization so that should be very familiar to what Level 1 looks like. Level 2 areas are the areas that are going to surround your downtowns. That is your suburban areas. They are pretty close to your city centers and your urban centers. They are rapidly growing. You are going to have a broader mix of housing and commercial options; but probably something more of the corridor style of development. But it is important to note that you are still going to have access to a lot of the infrastructure and services that you need. The policy focus at this level is where the State and local governments still want to invest in growth and make those infrastructure investments. Level 3 is where you are going to start going out, if you can imagine kind of a concentric ring mindset. This is where you start to get out beyond the growth areas but these growth areas are still part of certified comprehensive plans; they just might be a little out further in the future. You are going to have some environmentally sections of land, you are going to have some agricultural lands and you are going to have more of a leap frog development style where you have some growth happening but you still have a lot of open space. Really the infrastructure investments there might not be the highest priority. They are in the long term growth plans but money could probably be better spent elsewhere. Level 4 is where you are really going to see your primary focus being on natural lands and agricultural lands. This is mostly your unincorporated areas. You are going to have small developments or disconnected homes along rural routes. The policy focus here is on preservation, open space, really limiting development, and keeping that growth for agricultural and environmental uses. Out of Play Lands are a little bit easier to think about because they are legally protected lands for conservation or preservation; so it’s just not available for development. That is essentially your parks, your wildlife refuges, any agriculture land or forest land that has been protected. When we do the mapping exercise, those just get subtracted out on the map. They are going to show up in a gray color. By all means, this is all available and is going to be available throughout the State Strategies development process, so he doesn’t want you to think that you have to absorb all of that today. This is just an overview, but as we go through this process and you will have opportunities to comment as the City of Dover. We really want to encourage you to go in and read more about how Dover’s investments levels interact with the surrounding areas. Just some important considerations is that the maps are not parcel based and that’s really important to remember. It is a data driven process and the resulting maps are not confined or clipped into individual plots of land. You might have a large piece of ag land that could have three different levels on it depending on what type of environmental features are there, like streams or wetlands. 13 15

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. It is also important to note that there may be circumstances where the State and local governments sometimes have to make investments in Level 3 and Level 4 areas for health, safety, and welfare reasons. One easy example is that DelDOT may have to make infrastructure improvements if there is a dangerous intersection even though it may not be in the priority area for investments. He is going to end today with talking about the 2025 Update. As he mentioned, they are required to do it every five years. The reason being is that we talked about Comprehensive Plans. For any plans that have been certified since the last five-year cycle, we need to incorporate their Comp Plans, all of their data into the Strategies Update. We also might have changes in State agency data and there may be new data layers that were not available to us last time. We have to kind of work and recompile all of that information to produce new maps every five years. This year, the State had a process known as the Data Analysis Work Group. They did that so hopefully you were able to attend or at least find those resources. But essentially, that was a coordination process they did throughout the State just to provide more insight on the data that goes into these maps. The next screen shows the timeline. Governor Meyer’s Cabinet Committee on State Planning Issues approved this update timeline last month and this is essentially going to take us through December which is when we will hopefully have our Executive Order to adopt the Strategies. Where we are now is that this month we are releasing what we call the Data Story Map. That allows anybody who is interested to go in and look at all of the different data layers that comprise the Strategies. You can look at what kind of information feeds into the model and you can see how the data in the Dover area is feeding into the Strategies Maps. We released that story map and he is going to talk more about it on the next slide but you can see here that really the next two months are critical. Next month, we will be working on the draft maps and the actual Strategies document of which the Cabinet Committee would essentially review that before it goes out to the public at their August meeting. The Cabinet meeting is on August 11th but the hope there is that the Cabinet Committee would approve the release of the Strategies Maps at that time and then we would open a public comment period. Then we start working towards some public workshops in the early fall. That just gives you an idea of where we are going to be over the next couple of months and how the City of Dover will have an opportunity to participate in the process. There is a public workshop coming up in ten days which will really go through some of that story map that he just mentioned; so if any of that seems a little murky, we encourage you to tune in. We are going to have it at DelDOT in their big conference room but there is going to be a hybrid style so you can attend virtually. That will allow our audience to see the different layers that he described that make up the story map and give a tutorial of how to use it. Then you can provide us any comments after you have a chance to go interact with the website. He definitely encourages everyone to attend that and hopefully they can get these slides to you. This should also be going out in the newsletter tomorrow; so, hopefully we can get everyone signed up for that as well. We are anticipating that the survey on the website would close on July 10, 2025. Mr. Roach thanked them for the information. You have given us a lot but it is definitely informative and he appreciates all of your hard work and diligence. Responding to Mr. Roach, Mr. Thomas stated that means that they did their job right. They wanted to give you and overview and remind you of the things that we offer. Reach out to us with any questions at all and as Mr. Edgehill mentioned, he is the Kent County representative so we can help you work 14 16

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. through anything that we need to work through. Mrs. Maucher asked who was on the Cabinet Committee. Is it other State agencies that are on it? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Thomas stated that it is DelDOT, DNREC, Housing, Division of Small Business, Secretary of State, Department of Agriculture, and it is chaired by the Governor’s Office. The membership is actually in the State Code and it spells out the offices that participate. It’s not all State agencies but any of the agencies that have some type of role in the way the built environment is developed and land use. Cabinet Committee meetings are open to the public. So, if you ever want to find out what is talked about, you can certainly tune in. We usually try to keep them to an hour or hour and a half. Mr. Reaves stated it was a great presentation and thank you for the information. He would like to be added to the newsletter. Mr. Witham stated that when he graduated from high school and went to the University of Delaware for undergraduate school, he worked his summers with the State Planning Office. One of the jobs that himself and another gentleman who was also going to college, was to drive around in a car and count houses. Does that ring a bell? Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Thomas stated that they don’t do that anymore. Mr. Edgehill stated that they have the GIS data and the maps and the pictures that we can figure that out with. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that we did get their presentation as a pdf this afternoon and they will push that out to you so that you can have all of the great links. If there is no objection, we will also provide the State Planning Office with everyone’s emails so that everyone can join their newsletter. You have probably heard us talk about PLUS. If there is an application that went through PLUS Review, we try to put that in your Development Advisory Committee review process report so some of that should have been vaguely familiar to you. Progress on Implementation of 2019 Comprehensive Plan Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that they are kind of at the five year timeframe where there is actually a statement in Delaware Code that says that we should be reviewing our Comprehensive Plan to see if there is any items that need to be updated or if there has been substantial changes in an area. Tonight is a baby step in that direction. We have our consultation working on the annual report piece of the Comprehensive Plan. There are a couple of strategies that we have taken this year that she thinks will help us in the long run. Our 2019 Comprehensive Plan was actually adopted by City Council in January 2020. Through all of our process, it was the 2019 Plan. As part of that Comprehensive Plan, there have been a number of things that we have done over the years. A couple of the things that she included in the packet is Table 1-2 which was the Chapter goals. If you remember with the Comprehensive Plan, there are a series of topic chapters in the document and each of those ends with a series of goals and then a series of recommendations with some action items associated with those. This is not just for the Planning Office to implement; it is for the City and its many departments and City Council to implement as we go about doing the work of the City. She included that but didn’t really anticipate any 15 17

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. kind of discussion about goals. These are fairly broad and if you have a project, you can probably work it into one of these goals anyway. What she also included in the packet is Chapter 15. Chapter 15 is the Implementation Plan for the Comprehensive Plan. It talks about what we should be doing from the adoption process for the Comprehensive Plan through the timeframe for the next one that we will have to do. The Comprehensive Plan for the City of Dover was done in-house by Staff which is probably a little different than the images that you saw in the State Planning’s presentation where some of the other have made use of consultants. This was done by Planning Staff. They had a full contingent of Staff at the time and we all kind of each tackled a chapter. The document itself is a series of chapters and then of course a series of maps. Immediate actions with a Comprehensive Plan is adoption and she mentioned that formally happened and was officially certified. Tat dated to that transition in late 2019 and then City Council did its final adoption in January 2020. The next step with a Comprehensive Plan is that your Zoning Map needs to match your Comprehensive Plan. So, the Comprehensive Plan has a Land Development Plan Map which is the vision for where you want certain land uses to happen in the City; that is Map 12-1. What we did in 2021 was actually do that comparison of our Zoning Map versus that Land Development Plan Map. What that identified was a process that we went through and this body was involved in; it was the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project. With that, there were about 160 parcels in the City that were rezoned at that time. There was also a series of amendments done to Map 12-1 as we delved into greater detail or in some cases, the zoning was changed to something that they needed to match up the land use category with. That process was completed in 2021. The rest of Chapter 15 goes through and breaks it up into activities that are just generally ongoing in the various topic areas. Then it tries to put the projects and studies into some form of implementation. This is where in what we are having our consultant work on this year is really developing a spreadsheet to see how we are doing with this various items; because they are not all planning. Certainly our Planning Office has had our hands in a number of these things but we haven’t gotten to everything of course. There is a number of studies that weren’t even on this list that have happened. We want to do a check-in as to where we are. Her initial thought of Comprehensive Plan and having to do the five year review, it seems daunting but she is not sure that there is really much in our Plan that is that far off where we need to go back into it. She thinks that they did pretty well. They still have annexation areas; they have picked of a few things here and there. Most of our anticipated development especially here in the Downtown was envisioned for mixed use and we are starting to see that strategy come into play with projects. Certainly, our zoning is set up in some instances for that. We have done over the years a number of Ordinance changes. We have done a number of things to update parts of our Zoning Ordinance. Are there more to do? Yes, but she doesn’t know that they are that far off from what they had identified in the Comprehensive Plan. This Chapter 15 also talks about how you do Comprehensive Plan Amendments. We have actually had three rounds of Amendments over the years since we adopted this Plan where individual property owners came forward seeking a change to the Map. Some of them were successful in getting the Land Development Map changed; others were not. We had one of those that was not successful just last year. This was to push this back in front of you. If you have particular questions or after hearing the State’s presentation on what they do and knowing what we do here in the Planning Office, if there is any questions that you have or a direction that you think we should be moving to now that we are starting to have Staff onboard again. We may be able to get into some of this long range planning efforts. She knows that they have identified a number of things specifically related to the Active Recreation Area requirements and housing which they think is going to be 16 18

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. something that we are going to have to go into. Some of it may be dictated by the State when it comes to affordable housing and accessory dwelling units. We will see how the legislature plays out on that. At this point, she would be happy to take any questions or concerns that you may have about the Comprehensive Plan and how it’s been going the last five-ish years. Mr. Witham asked what the next step was in the process for the Planning Commission. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that there is not real detail about how you go about doing the renewal or the five year review even in the State Code process. At this point, she wanted to refresh your mind about this. They have a deadline coming up in July where we have to submit our Annual Report to the State Planning Office. She would like to bring that back to the Commission after they submit it but that is going to give us a sense of where we are on some of this. Certainly, if you think over your time here on the Commission, especially over the last year, if there have been things that didn’t seem to quite fit right or topic areas that we may need to look at more closely, she would like to hear those. She thinks this is going to be a little bit of a work in progress as to what a five year review for the City of Dover is going to be. Mrs. Denney asked if they will have workshops or is that typically just done in-house with the Planning Office. Responding to Mrs. Denney, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that there was one five year review that was really almost like rewriting the Comprehensive Plan a number of years ago. She doesn’t see that for this time around. We have not really talked about how that review transpires. It could be as simple as a discussion at a couple of Planning Commission meetings that are public meetings but we haven’t gotten that far. Mr. Reaves stated that he is just trying to understand how they may be able to facilitate this. When we have a project that is affecting a common interest in the community, is it possible that we can have the notice to go out to more than just a residential property that is within 250 feet of the project? Sometimes projects affect the entire community and not just one home in the community. That may be a little bit off topic but if we can try to understand how to incorporate something like that. Responding to Mr. Reaves, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the public notice requirement for applications that must appear before this body, our Historic District Commission and the Board of Adjustment Committee by Code, have that 200 feet distance and then direct mailing. The other ways of public notice are the legal ads in the public newspaper and then for both the Planning Commission and the Historic District Commission, the physical posting of the property which is the bright yellow sign. That was added to our Code a number of years ago to cover that broader community because you are always going to be just a foot away from somebody else in doing a mailed notice. If it is something of concern, it would be something that Staff would look at. She knows in the past, there have been ideas of making it bigger than 200 feet. That is fairly consistent in most jurisdictions. The problem is that 200 feet in some areas gets you to a list that is very short but in other areas like Downtown, you could have ones that have over 50-100 properties within that distance. It is somewhat of a balancing act when it comes to that public notice. They can certainly note that as anything process-wise that they may need to look into to see what our options are. These were all information presentations to the Commission. Your agenda does include an opportunity for Planning Commissioner comments if there is anyone who had additional 17 19

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 16, 2025 Item 1. comments, questions, or concerns. Mrs. Denney stated that she thought this was a great workshop, especially the stuff from the State Planning Office. It was very informative. She has a position both with the City and also with the County and she often refers to what the Office of State Planning thinks. She thinks it is very helpful. Dr. Jones stated that she would like to thank Mrs. Melson-Williams and the State Planning Office because she too has probably mentioned the workshops in the past and the lunch hour workshops that we used to have. This has been very informative. Mr. Witham stated thank you to all of the presenters tonight. It is important for us to hear these reports. It helps us in terms of performing our public duty and it is certainly very informative for the public. He thanks the Planning Commission for their hard work in making this possible for us. Meeting adjourned at 8:56 PM. Sincerely, Kristen Mullaney Secretary 18 20

WHAT CAN I DO TO MY PROPERTY/DOCK WHILE THE DAM VALVE IS OPEN?  IF YOU WANT TO REPAIR OR CHANGE YOUR DOCK AND/OR SHORELINE STABILIZATION: First, if you want to make any repairs or changes to any docks, shoreline stabilization structures, or any other structures that are usually below or near the regular water level line, then you will need to obtain a permit from the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control’s Wetlands and Waterways Section before any work is initiated. To contact DNREC’s Wetlands and Waterways Section please call 302-739-9943 or visit: https://dnrec.delaware.gov/water/wetlands/  IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE DEAD OR FALLEN TREES: You will also want to speak with someone from DNREC’s Wetlands and Waterways Section if you would like to remove any fallen trees or tree limbs that are on or near the shoreline. To contact DNREC’s Wetlands and Waterways Section please call 302-739-9943 or visit https://dnrec.delaware.gov/water/wetlands/  IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE WEEDS OR OTHER GRASSES: Make sure what you are removing is actually a weed!! Some native plants and grasses may look “weedy” but are actually beneficial to the lake and local wildlife. Having native grasses and plants on your property will actually help you keep the REAL weeds off your property.  IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE LITTER AND TRASH: Please feel free to remove any litter, trash, garbage, or any other refuse that has no business being in a lake! Examples are: glass bottles, anything made of plastic (such as bags and bottles), paper litter, and old tires. Just make sure to properly dispose or recycle the refuse. WHY DO I NEED A PERMIT TO REPAIR OR REMOVE SOMETHING THAT IS ON MY PROPERTY? The State of Delaware protects certain areas that are critical natural resources and habitats, such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands; Silver Lake is one of those protected places. The Lake is a place where many wildlife species (such as birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians) can nest and feed. Therefore, any changes in Silver Lake can cause disturbances to wildlife habitats and water quality. For example, that old rotting tree that fell over 5 years ago may be home to fish and provide your property with erosion protection! The DNREC Wetlands and Waterways Section authorizes activities in Delaware’s tidal wetlands, bays, rivers, streams, lakes, ponds and other waterways. Types of activities that could require permits include constructing, repairing, or changing docks and/or placing objects in or near the water to stabilize the shoreline. Please contact the Wetlands and Waterways Section before you perform any modifications to your property. STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

The Phase 2 project area with two warehouses buildings located to the north of Phase 1 include a series of truck dock bays on one side of each building. A parking lot is proposed between Building B and Building C. The northern portion and northwest portion of the property include areas of woodlands with wetlands. And the eastern portion of the site focuses on stormwater management areas with the expansion of the existing stormwater pond. The site will be subject to a Performance Standards Review Application to ensure the proposed uses comply with Zoning Regulations. 25

Item 3. S-25-10 Dover Industrial Phase 2: Warehouses at 350 Lafferty Lane, Dover DE DAC Report of July 9, 2025 Page 3 of 12 Previous Applications: In March 2022, the original tract of land property appeared before the Planning Commission for a Site Development Plan and Subdivision. The result was the 22.86-acre property divided into a 2.99 +/- parcel (Lot 2) and a 19.74 +/-acre parcel (Lot 1) that is the subject of this application. The smaller parcel was developed into a warehouse and distribution center for Frito Lay (Application S-22-02). For the subject site at 350 Lafferty Lane, Phase 1 was considered with Site Development Plan S- 24-13 Flex Use Facilities Commercial Warehouse (Business Park) at 350 Lafferty Lane. While Plan originally proposed the construction of a 54,000 SF Flex Warehouse, a 42,000 SF Flex Warehouse, and a 123,750 SF Flex Warehouse (a total of 219,750 SF) with site improvements in a Phased Development Plan, it was refined to just focus on Phase 1 for Building A of 54,000 SF. The Planning Commission granted conditional approval in September 2024 and Final Plan approval in Spring 2025. The site and building construction for Phase 1 has commenced. Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding properties are primarily in the M (Manufacturing Zone) except for two small properties to the immediate west that contain two houses in the R-10 (One Family Residence Zone). To the east is the Frito Lay Distribution Center at 300 Lafferty Lane and then the George & Lynch Administration Building and Contractors Yard. To the north is the right-of-way for State Route 1 and the Puncheon Run Connector on-ramp to State Route 1. To the west is other land owned by the State of Delaware which contains a stormwater management facility. III. ZONING REVIEW M (Manufacturing Zone) This property is zoned as M (Manufacturing Zone) and is described in Zoning Ordinance, Article 3, Section 19. The M (Manufacturing Zone) Zoning District in the City of Dover permits the following: Manufacturing, assembling, converting, altering, finishing, cleaning, cooking, baking or any other type of manufacturing or industrial processing of any goods, materials, products, instruments, appliances and devices, provided that the fuel used shall be oil, gas or electricity; Research, design and development laboratories; Wholesale storage and warehousing, transshipment and distribution, logistics support; Building contractors' yards; Public utilities uses; Ministorage facilities, subject to regulations; Railroad yards, sidings, and storage facilities; and Marijuana cultivation facilities, marijuana manufacturing facilities, and marijuana testing facilities, subject to requirements outlined in Article 5, Section 24. – Marijuana Related Businesses. There are a number of Accessory uses and Conditional Uses in the M zone, which require approval by the Planning Commission. Additionally in the M zone, there are uses that at specifically prohibited; see the code excerpt below. Article 3 Section 19 19.2 Uses prohibited. The following uses are specifically prohibited: 19.21 Residences. 19.22 Manufacturing uses involving primary production of the following products from raw materials: asphalt, cement, charcoal, and fuel briquettes; chemicals: aniline dyes, ammonia, carbide, caustic soda, cellulose, chlorine, carbon black and bone black, creosote, hydrogen and oxygen, industrial alcohol, nitrates (manufactured and natural) of an explosive nature, potash, plastic materials and synthetic resins, pyroxylin, rayon yarn, and hydrochloric, nitric, phosphoric, picric, and sulphuric acids; coal, coke and tar 26

Item 3. S-25-10 Dover Industrial Phase 2: Warehouses at 350 Lafferty Lane, Dover DE DAC Report of July 9, 2025 Page 4 of 12 products, including gas manufacturing; explosives; fertilizers; gelatin, glue and size (animal); linoleum and oil cloth; matches; paint, varnishes and turpentine; rubber (natural and synthetic); soaps, including fat rendering; [and] starch. 19.23 The following processes: nitrating of cotton or other materials; milling or processing of flour, food, or grain; magnesium foundry; reduction, refining, smelting, and alloying of metal or metal ores; refining secondary aluminum; refining petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, [and] lubricating oil; distillation of wood or bones; [and] reduction and processing of wood pulp and fiber, including papermill operations. 19.24 Operations involving stock yards and slaughter houses, grain elevators, and slag piles. 19.25 Storage of explosives and bulk or wholesale storage of gasoline above the ground. 19.26 Dumps, except those owned and operated by the city. 19.27 Quarries, stone crushers, screening plants, and storage of quarry screenings, accessory to such uses. 19.28 Junkyards, automobile dismantling plants or storage of used parts of automobiles or other machines or vehicles or of dismantled or junked automobiles. Bulk Standards for the M (Manufacturing Zone) are outlined in Zoning Ordinance, Article 4 Section 4.16. The maximum lot coverage for this zone is 85% and the height limit is 60 feet. The proposed impervious lot coverage for the total project is estimated at 56%. Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) This property is also subject to the requirements of the Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) as outlined in Zoning Ordinance Article 3 § 22. This property is within Accident Potential Zones I & II (APZ I and APZ II) of the AEOZ. The Accident Potential Zones I & II allows for most uses permitted within the M (Manufacturing Zone) zoning district and calls for an interior noise level reduction of thirty (30) decibels. APZ I & II also prohibit structures from exceeding sixty (60) feet in height. Additionally, items that could generate smoke or light (such as solar panels) are not allowed. The list of prohibited uses in the APZ are found in Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Section 22.8: Article 3 Section 22 22.8 Prohibited uses. In addition to uses prohibited by subsection 22.6, land use compatibility table, the following activities are prohibited within the CZ, APZ I and APZ II zones of the AEOZ, including, but not limited to: (a) Storage of explosives; (b) Hazardous or toxic materials/waste; (c) Aboveground transmission lines; (d) Uses that release into the air any substance which would impair visibility or otherwise interfere with the operation of aircraft (dust, smoke, etc.); (e) Uses that produce light emission, direct or indirect, which would interfere with pilot vision; (f) And uses that attract birds or water fowl, such as, but not limited to, landfills, wastewater treatment facilities, and associated settling ponds, artificial marshes, dredge spoil materials, sand and gravel dredging operations and open fish farming. It is noted that the proposed development parcel has roughly 225 SF on the southeast corner within Noise Zone A (65dB-69dB) of the AEOZ. This area is shown to the side of the stormwater management area with no proposed buildings 27

Item 3. S-25-10 Dover Industrial Phase 2: Warehouses at 350 Lafferty Lane, Dover DE DAC Report of July 9, 2025 Page 5 of 12 As each specific tenant is identified, the use must be reviewed through a Permit Review process for compliance with the M Zone and the AEOZ. The proposed land use for each building (and tenants within each building) must comply with the permitted uses of the M (Manufacturing Zone) (Zoning Ordinance Article 3 § 19) and the Land Use Compatibility Table of the AEOZ (Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 § 22.6). The Dover Air Force Base has provided additional information in their agency comments relating to FAA Bird Mitigation for properties in the flight path for the Air Base, population density suggestions in the APZ I & II zones, as well as submission to DelDOT for the State Office of Aeronautics requirements. Please see comments in the attachments from the Dover Air Force Base for details. IV. PARKING SUMMARY The parking requirement in the M zoning district is one space per 800 S.F. of floor area or one space per employee of the largest shift. The floor area of 232,000 S.F. for the total facility would require a minimum of 290 parking spaces. The plan shows two parking lot areas to serve all three buildings resulting in a total of 290 parking spaces including handicapped parking spaces. Loading Berths Article 6, Section 4.27 of the Zoning Ordinance states that for manufacturing, wholesale, or storage uses in the M zone, the project must provide sufficient off-street loading berths. Loading berth minimum size requirement is 12 feet by 60 feet. The plan shows an overall loading dock area on one side of each Building B and C but does not mark individual spaces. No interior walls are shown, but there is potential for separating tenant spaces. From Planning Staff review it appears the project provides enough loading spaces, but they may want to look at options for parking of trucks awaiting unloading opportunities or resting space. Bicycle Parking The site is required to provide bicycle parking. The bicycle parking calculation is one for every twenty parking spaces. Based on the number of parking spaces, fifteen (15) bicycle parking spaces are required. The Plan shows a bicycle rack at each building consisting of five spaces each. V. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE The Dover Industrial facility Buildings B and C are buildings with a tall one-story section as warehousing for multiple tenants. The representative architectural renderings show a low-pitched roof warehouse with front doors to tenant spaces as certain points of the front façade and with overhead garage doors on the rear of the building. The roof is also a metal system. The entry points include a vertical wall feature and storefront door and window systems with a canopy /awning element. The entry points on the architectural elevations do not seem to match the site plan. These building elevations appear similar to the Building A in Phase 1. The applicant has indicated that the architectural renderings are the general concept proposed for the construction of Buildings B and C. The facility must comply with the maximum height limitations of the M and AEOZ zoning districts. For these zoning districts, the maximum height is limited to 60 feet. From the building elevation submitted, the example building is estimated to be 24 feet in heigh (based on the scale given on the drawing); this must be confirmed for each building. 28

Item 3. S-25-10 Dover Industrial Phase 2: Warehouses at 350 Lafferty Lane, Dover DE DAC Report of July 9, 2025 Page 6 of 12 VI. SITE CONSIDERATIONS Access The access to this property is through the adjacent property at 300 Lafferty Lane. Lafferty Lane is a state-maintained road. The DelDOT DAC Report Comments from S-22-02 noted planning for the opportunity to access the residual lot (350 Lafferty Lane) through the entrance at 300 Lafferty Lane. The development of this parcel which began with Phase 1 confirmed that the entrance as constructed is adequate to serve the build out of both parcels. The Entrance is the subject of DelDOT Entrance Permit KC-0004-25CN issued March 19, 2025. Sidewalks A sidewalk is proposed to be constructed along Lafferty Lane as part of Phase 1. In addition, sidewalks are shown connecting from the street frontage sidewalk into the site to Building A and for pedestrian access from parking areas to building entrances. Additionally, there are 5-foot sidewalks along the front side of each building and connections to each building through the landscaped parking islands between Building B and Building C. The sidewalk connection from Building A to Building B must be clarified. Dumpsters The new dumpster regulations adopted in 2024 for non-residential buildings require two (2) dumpsters per property. Two Dumpster units are planned for each building. The Plan show Dumpster enclosures for multiple units in several location: Dumpster (set of 4 units) at the west of end of Buildings A and B and a set of two units to the north of Building C. Lighting The lighting internal to the site is shown with the placement of wall mounted units on all sides of each building to illuminate the parking lots and the loading areas. Curbing The Zoning Ordinance, Article 6 §3.6(b) requires upright curbing for all parking areas and access drives. The plan appears to only show minor curb breaks associated with catch basin placements. The City Planner finds this acceptable as they are related to drainage related to stormwater management. VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 16.5 outlines the woodland preservation requirements. Only a maximum of 50% of the existing woodland on the parcel may be cleared for development. The overall site includes 316,353 SF of woodland. For the project, a total of 156,789 SF of woodland is proposed for removal. A total of 159,564 SF of woodland will be preserved; this just complies with the woodland clearing limitation. The tree planting requirement of the Zoning Ordinance is based on the development area with one (1) tree required per 3000 SF of development area. The Development Area is the remaining non-woodland area of the property consisting of 707,074 SF. A total of 234 trees are required. Some trees were planned to be planted with Phase 1 of the project; its Landscape Plan identified a planting of 33 trees. The Landscape Plan shows a concept for planting 27 trees in Phase 2 for a total of 60 trees on the property. The applicant is seeking the use of a Tree Mitigation Plan for the balance of the required trees; the property is deficient of 174 trees. 29

Item 3. S-25-10 Dover Industrial Phase 2: Warehouses at 350 Lafferty Lane, Dover DE DAC Report of July 9, 2025 Page 7 of 12 Tree Mitigation Plan A Tree Mitigation Plan must be provided for consideration by the Planning Commission at a rate of 1 tree per 1 deficit tree as per Article 5, Section 16 of the Zoning Ordinance; see below. The Narrative Letter for the project submitted states they are seeking a waiver for the number of trees not provided on-site to work with the City of Dover for plantings of the remaining 174 trees; a formal agreement with the City is still pending. Article 5 Section 16 16.9 Tree mitigation. 16.91 Planning commission waiver. The planning commission may waive the provisions of subsections 16.52, 16.53, and 16.62, and require replacement planting for mitigation purposes should the planning commission determine, after demonstration by the applicant, that due to physical limitations of the land which would otherwise prohibit the reasonable use of the land, or for purposes of preserving, protecting and promoting the interest of public health, safety, welfare and/or public convenience. All tree mitigation plantings must occur within the corporate limits of the City of Dover. Tree mitigation may occur off-site in accordance with the provisions listed below in this ordinance: (a) If a waiver is sought from the provisions of subsection 16.62, new tree plantings are required at a rate of 1:1. All new tree plantings shall meet the minimum size at planting requirements of the City of Dover table of trees. (b) If a waiver is sought from the provisions of subsection 16.52 and/or subsection 16.53, then mitigation must be in the form of newly created woodland areas. New woodlands shall be created at a rate of 1.25 times the amount of woodlands to be removed. A woodland mitigation plan shall be prepared by a licensed forester, landscape architect, or certified nursery professional, for the consideration of the planning commission. (c) All tree mitigation must occur on-site unless an off-site location is specifically approved by the planning commission. When considering off-site locations for tree mitigation, the commission shall consider: 1) A physical hardship related to the land which would otherwise prohibit compliance on the subject site; 2) Whether the mitigation plan proposed by the applicant is superior in terms of environmental benefits, tree quantity, or aesthetic qualities compared to strict compliance with the ordinance on-site. Opaque Barrier Requirement Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 7 requires an opaque barrier between non-residential and residential uses. This situation occurs along a portion of the west property line within the Phase I area. The opaque barrier must consist of an opaque fence, wall, or berm (barrier component) and a landscaping component. In the southwest corner of the property, the Plan shows the location of the fence and a series of four tree plantings along the shared property line with the adjacent residential property. It appears to rely on existing vegetation. More information is needed to confirm the type of existing vegetation and if it satisfies the continuous evergreen planted screen or hedge with evergreen trees. Wetland Areas/ Waterbodies The Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §11.22 prescribes provisions related to wetland areas. There are setback requirements from wetland areas that are over 0.25 acres in size. From these 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. The project site layout reduces the buffer to 30 feet and in these areas the existing vegetation appears to be 30

Item 3. S-25-10 Dover Industrial Phase 2: Warehouses at 350 Lafferty Lane, Dover DE DAC Report of July 9, 2025 Page 8 of 12 maintained. The augmentation of the Riparian Buffer and bank stabilization practice should be identified for the wetlands area along the west property line. VIII. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS REVIEW Uses in the M (Manufacturing Zone) are subject to the performance standards summarized in Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 §8.1 and as more specifically outlined in Article 5 §8.5. Article 5 §8.1 Dangerous and objectionable elements. No land or building in any zone shall be used or occupied in any manner so as to cause any one or more of the following conditions to exist and to be dangerous, injurious, noxious or offensive beyond the boundaries of such premises in such a manner or in such amount as to adversely affect the reasonable use of the surrounding area or adjoining premises: Fire, explosive or other hazard; noise, or vibration; smoke, dust, odor or other form of air pollution; heat, cold, dampness or electromagnetic disturbance; glare, liquid or solid refuse or waste; traffic congestion causing roadways or intersections in the surrounding highway network to fall below acceptable levels of comfort and convenience; or other substance, condition or element (referred to hereinafter as "dangerous or objectionable elements"), provided that any use permitted or not expressly prohibited by this ordinance may be undertaken and maintained if it conforms to the regulations of this section limiting dangerous and objectionable elements at the point of the determination of their existence. The project’s compliance with a series of performance standards for the “dangerous and objectionable elements” are to be considered by the Planning Commission. The “dangerous and objectionable elements” are as follows: • Fire and explosion hazards (activities with and storage of) • Radioactivity or electromagnetic disturbance • Noise (sound pressure level) • Vibration • Smoke • Odors (Odorous gases or odorous matter) • Fly ash, dust, fumes, vapors, gases, and other forms of air pollution • Glare (from lighting or high temperature processes) • Liquid or solid wastes • Traffic congestion (Level of Service E) The project cannot cause the above conditions to exist so that they adversely affect the surrounding areas or adjoining properties. The specific limits of each performance standard are described in the Zoning Ordinance. Where the performance standards conflict with regulations established by other state or local agencies such as the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), the more restrictive regulations apply. As part of this procedure, a Performance Standard Review Application is required to accompany this Plan submission for review and approval. The Applicant submitted a Letter describing the project and indicating how the proposed construction activities would restrict the emission of dangerous and objectionable elements detailed in Article 5, Section 8.5. A description of how the development’s buildings and uses intend to comply with these provisions must be submitted. 31

IX. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET CODE OBJECTIVES: In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.2, the Planning Commission in considering and acting upon Site Development Plans may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards so that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the public in general, and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken 33

Item 3. S-25-10 Dover Industrial Phase 2: Warehouses at 350 Lafferty Lane, Dover DE DAC Report of July 9, 2025 Page 11 of 12 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) Recommendation on Waiver Requests: a. Tree Mitigation Plan: The Planning Staff notes that the project can be considered for a Tree Mitigation Plan for the required tree plantings at off-site location. The applicant has reached out to the City for tree planting locations. City Staff is currently evaluating potential locations for plantings on City owned properties; the applicant will have to enter into an agreement with the City regarding the planting of these trees. However, it is concerning that the overall project will be planting only 60 trees of the 234 required trees on their property. This results in 174 trees that must be planted elsewhere through a Tree Mitigation Plan. While compliant with the limitations of woodland clearing, the loss of existing tree canopy cover on the property with the clearing of existing woodland for development is also noted. The applicant should consider project scope or project design revisions to retain more woodland areas and/or to be able to plant more of the required trees on their own property. 2) Consideration of Performance Standards Review Application: Planning Staff has reviewed the Performance Standards Review Letter. Additional information about the project uses is needed to confirm the project demonstrates the intent to comply with the restrictions as provided in Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 8.1 and 8.2. 3) Loading Spaces: From Planning Staff review, it appears the project provides enough loading spaces, but they may want to look at options for parking of trucks awaiting unloading opportunities or resting space. Other agencies may recommend additional considerations to meet code objectives in accordance with their areas of expertise. Action on all considerations identified in this section is at the discretion of the Planning Commission.

Item 3. CITY OF DOVER Dover/Kent DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE County Metropolitan ADVISORY BRIEF Planning D.A.C. MEETING DATE: 7/9/2025 Organization S-25-10 Dover Industrial Phase 2: Warehouses at 350 Lafferty Lane FILE # S-25-10 REVIEWING AGENCY: Dover/Kent County MPO CONTACT PERSON: Malcolm Jacob PHONE #: (302) 387-6030 Attached, please find comments submitted by Dover Kent MPO for each of the current City of Dover Development Advisory Committee (DAC) applications. These comments are a part of the MPO’s ongoing goals of promoting transportation safety and connectivity within the region. They are submitted in accordance with the support given by the MPO Council on November 6, 2024. Issues of concern to the MPO are effective transit, reducing the amount of vehicle emissions by shortening or eliminating trips, and facilities for alternative modes of transportation, including bicycle and pedestrian access. The MPO considers the bicycle facilities required by the City of Dover to be the standard for all applications, not to be waived. City of Dover Planning Commission Site Development Plan Review S-25-10 Dover Industrial Phase 2: Warehouses at 350 Lafferty Lane As discussed in Dover Kent MPO’s recommendations for Phase 1 of the site development,1 the addition of truck parking spaces would be very beneficial for this location. Parking and staging availability has been an ongoing challenge for the City of Dover, and it is common for trucks and trailers to be left in “undesignated” parking areas. Given the volume of trucks that will be visiting the property, there may be times when there are not enough loading docks available. Drivers may also need to leave their vehicles at a safe, designated location overnight. The urgent need for designated truck parking in Dover is highlighted in the 2025 Dover Freight Plan, which recommends that truck parking and staging be incorporated into all freight-related site development within the City.2 These should be added in addition to the loading docks already planned for the site. The paved space behind Building C may be suitable for this purpose. 1 City of Dover, Delaware Planning Commission (Meeting Packet, September 16, 2024). City of Dover (2024). https://evogov.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/meetings/27/attachments/17485.pdf#page=143. 2 Dover Freight Plan. Dover/Kent County MPO (2025). https://doverkentmpo.delaware.gov/files/2025/04/2025- 04_Dover-Freight-Plan_FINAL.pdf#page=40. 56

Item 3. The Dover Freight Plan also includes a checklist of various freight considerations, which can help in avoiding land use conflicts and ensuring drivers are provided with adequate parking space. Please reach out to the City of Dover planning staff or Dover Kent MPO for more information on this topic. The site plan should show exactly where the loading docks will be located along the two new buildings and how far from the buildings the loading areas will extend, similar to what was used in the Phase 1 designs. The applicant should also ensure there will be adequate space for large vehicles to navigate and turn safely. Within the site plan, measurements in between Building A and Building B should demonstrate the total available width when trucks are docked on either side. The same should be done in between Building B and Building C, specifically where the landscape islands will be located. Bicycle racks, pedestrian walkways, and accessible parking spaces are planned for the property, and sidewalks are being added to the property’s frontage as part of Phase 1. These improvements will have a positive impact on bicycle and pedestrian connectivity and on the property’s accessibility. In 2021 the MPO completed the Dover Air Cargo Freight Access Study, which recommends transportation improvements that will support economic growth in between Dover Air Force Base and White Oak Road. While the study does not specifically address this property, it does recommend improvements to Lafferty Lane, including improvements to the intersection with Horsepond Road and to the intersection with S. Bay Road.3 These improvements, if completed, would facilitate truck traffic coming to and from the property. They are considered a high priority for the City of Dover and are included in the project list of Innovations 2050, the MPO’s Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP).4 If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the above contact person and the Planning Department as soon as possible. 3 Dover Air Cargo Freight Access Study - Planning and Environmental Linkage (PEL) Report.

However, see note(s) indicated by the superscript. Nx – No with exceptions. The land use and related structures are generally incompatible. However, see note(s) indicated by the superscript. Notes for Table 1 – Land Use Compatibility in APZs General notes for all uses: a. The suggested maximum occupancy for commercial, service, or industrial buildings or structures in APZ I is 25 people per acre, and 50 people per acre in APZ II. Outside events should normally be limited to assemblies of not more than 25 people an acre in APZ I, and maximum assemblies of 50 people an acre in APZ II. b. Recommended FARs are calculated using standard parking generation rates for various land uses, vehicle occupancy rates, and desired density in APZ I or II. For APZ I, the formula is FAR equals 25 people an acre divided by (Average vehicle occupancy times Average parking rate times (43560÷1000)). The formula for APZ II is FAR equals 50 divided by (Average vehicle occupancy times Average parking rate times (43560÷1000)). c. No structures (except airfield lighting and navigational aids necessary for the safe operation of the airfield when there are no other siting options), buildings, or above ground utility and communications lines should normally be located in clear zone areas on or off the air installation. For pilot and public safety, the clear zone is subject to the most severe restrictions. d. Safety of flight should be considered when evaluating development that includes explosive potential; generates smoke, steam, or dust; creates electronic interference; lighting or glare; or tall structures. e. Development of renewable energy resources, including solar and geothermal facilities and wind turbines, may impact military operations through hazards to flight or electromagnetic interference. Each new development should be analyzed for compatibility on a case-by-case basis that considers both the proposal and potentially affected mission.

Item 3. U.S. Department Advisory of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Circular Subject: Hazardous Wildlife Attractants on or Date: 02/21/2020 AC No: 150/5200-33C near Airports Initiated By: AAS-300 Change: 1 Purpose. This Advisory Circular (AC) provides guidance on certain land uses that have the potential to attract hazardous wildlife on or near public-use airports. It also discusses airport development projects (including airport construction, expansion, and renovation) affecting aircraft movement near hazardous wildlife attractants. Appendix 1 provides definitions of terms used in this AC. 2 Cancellation. This AC cancels AC 150/5200-33B, Hazardous Wildlife Attractants on or near Airports, dated August 28, 2007. 3 Application. The Federal Aviation Administration recommends the guidance in this AC for land uses that have the potential to attract hazardous wildlife on or near public-use airports. This AC does not constitute a regulation, is not mandatory, and is not legally binding in its own right. It will not be relied upon as a separate basis by the FAA for affirmative enforcement action or other administrative penalty. Conformity with this AC is voluntary, and nonconformity will not affect rights and obligations under existing statutes and regulations, except as follows: 1. Airports that hold Airport Operating Certificates issued under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 139, Certification of Airports, Subpart D, may use the standards, practices and recommendations contained in this AC as one, but not the only, acceptable means of compliance with the wildlife hazard management requirements of Part 139. 2. The FAA recommends the guidance in this AC for airports that receive funding under Federal grant assistance programs, including the Airport Improvement Program. See Grant Assurance #34. 63

Item 3. 2/21/2020 AC 150/5200-33C 3. The FAA recommends the guidance in this AC for projects funded by the Passenger Facility Charge program. See PFC Assurance #9. 4. The FAA recommends the guidance in this AC for land-use planners and developers of projects, facilities, and activities on or near airports. 4 Principal Changes. Changes are marked with vertical bars in the margin. Change in this AC include: 1. Clarification by the FAA that non-certificated airports are recommended to conduct a Wildlife Hazard Assessment (Assessment) or a Wildlife Hazard Site Visit (Site Visit); 2. Table 1, Ranking of Hazardous Species, has been moved to Advisory Circular 150/5200-32, Reporting Wildlife Aircraft Strikes (5/31/2013); 3. Consolidation and reorganization of discussion on land uses of concern; and updated procedures for evaluation and mitigation. Discussion addresses off-airport hazardous wildlife attractants, followed by discussion of on-airport attractants. It also clarifies language regarding the applicability of the AC. 5 Background. 1. Information about the risks posed to aircraft by certain wildlife species has increased a great deal in recent years. Improved reporting, studies, documentation, and statistics clearly show that aircraft collisions with birds and other wildlife are a serious economic and public safety problem. While many species of wildlife can pose a risk1 to aircraft safety, they are not equally hazardous2. These hazard rankings can help focus hazardous wildlife management efforts on those species or groups that represent the greatest risk to safe air and ground operations in the airport environment. Used in conjunction with a site-specific Assessment that will determine the relative abundance and use patterns of wildlife species, these rankings combined with a systematic risk analysis can help airport operators better understand the general threat level (and consequences) of certain wildlife species. Also, the rankings can assist with the creation of a “high risk” list of hazardous species that warrant immediate attention. 2. Most public-use airports have large tracts of open, undeveloped land that provide added margins of safety and noise mitigation. These areas can also present potential hazards to aviation if they encourage wildlife to enter an airport’s approach or departure airspace or aircraft operations area. Constructed or natural areas— such as 1 Risk is the relationship between the severity and probability of a threat. It is the product of hazard level and abundance in the critical airspace, and is thus defined as the probability of a damaging strike with a given species. 2 Hazardous wildlife are species of wildlife (birds, mammals, reptiles), including feral and domesticated animals, not under control that may pose a direct hazard to aviation (i.e., strike risk to aircraft) or an indirect hazard such as an attractant to other wildlife that pose a strike hazard or are causing structural damage to airport facilities (e.g., burrowing, nesting, perching). ii 64

Item 3. 2/21/2020 AC 150/5200-33C poorly drained locations, detention/retention ponds, roosting habitats on buildings, landscaping, odor-causing rotting organic matter (putrescible waste) disposal operations, wastewater treatment plants, agricultural or aquaculture activities, surface mining, wetlands, or some conservation-based land uses — can provide wildlife with ideal locations for feeding, loafing, reproduction, and escape. Even small facilities, such as fast food restaurants, taxicab staging areas, rental car facilities, aircraft viewing areas, and public parks, can produce substantial attractions for hazardous wildlife. 3. During the past century, wildlife-aircraft strikes have resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives worldwide, as well as billions of dollars in aircraft damage. Hazardous wildlife attractants on and near airports can jeopardize future airport expansion, making proper community land-use planning essential. This AC provides airport operators and those parties with whom they cooperate with the guidance they need to assess and address potentially hazardous wildlife attractants when locating new facilities and implementing certain land-use practices on or near public-use airports. 6 Memorandum of Agreement Between Federal Resource Agencies. The FAA, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture - Wildlife Services signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to acknowledge their respective missions in protecting aviation from wildlife hazards. Through the MOA, the agencies established procedures necessary to coordinate their missions to address more effectively existing and future environmental conditions contributing to collisions between wildlife and aircraft (wildlife strikes) throughout the United States. These efforts are intended to minimize wildlife risks to aviation and human safety while protecting the Nation’s valuable environmental resources. 7 Feedback on this AC. If you have suggestions for improving this AC, you may use the Advisory Circular Feedback form at the end of this AC. John R. Dermody Director of Airport Safety and Standards iii 65

In addition to preparing mitigation strategies the implementation of the toolkit in addition to documenting the steps plan also includes community-based methods for informing citizens taken through the Monitoring Committee to implement the toolkit of the reasoning behind the mitigation strategies. as well. The strategies developed were designed to address the issues identified during DAFB CUP. The purpose of each strategy is to accomplish the following: 1. Avoid future actions, operations, or approvals that would cause a compatibility issue; and 2. Eliminate existing compatibility issues where possible; and 3. Facilitate enhanced, ongoing communication and collaboration as mechanisms for effective compatibility planning and avoidance of future encroachment. For ease of use, these strategies are presented in a table format showing the issues and strategies and information on how each strategy should be completed. The strategies are identified based on categories to better help the user know what type of approach is needed. Upon completion of the DAFB CUP Study, agencies first task will be to afford funding, review policies, and identify strategies for implementing this CUP. It is also suggested that DAFB and DelDOT create a Monitoring Committee. The Monitoring Committee would serve as a facilitator and agent of the Plan. The Monitoring Committee would attend meetings, request updates, and monitor the task implementation. The Monitoring Committee would also hold quarterly meetings with members of the CUP Study’s Police and Technical Committees to keep this Policy in the forefront. Additionally, the Monitoring Committee would prepare a yearly community workshop to summarize efforts to implement this toolkit on a yearly basis. In addition, the Monitoring Committee Page vii 75

ENGINEERING – SURVEY – HYDROGRAPHIC 53 ATLANTIC AVENUE – SUITE#3 OCEAN VIEW, DE 19970 PH: (302) 537-1919 6/5/2025 City of Dover, Department of Planning and Inspections Attention: Dawn Melson-Williams 15 Loockerman Plaza, Dover, DE RE: 350 LAFFERTY LANE, DOVER INDUSTRIAL PHASE 2 - NARRATIVE Introduction Phase 2 of Dover Industrial is an extension of the approved final plan for Phase 1 of the Dover Industrial project, located at 350 Lafferty Lane, which was approved by the City of Dover on 5/25/2025. This phase of the project is located to the rear of Phase 1, behind building A and will include two warehouse- style buildings for light industrial use. Existing Conditions A portion of the existing land has been cleared from phase 1. The remaining area contains wooded acreage and non-tidal wetlands to the rearmost parts of the parcel. The existing entrance onto the property is shared from the adjacent Frito Lay Distribution Center to the southwest corner of the parcel. There are no on-site entrances directly to Lafferty Lane. Existing stormwater is present in the form of a stormwater pond to the East which was approved for the entire site with the phase 1 project. The soils are comprised of mostly “C” rated soils and the existing zoning of this parcel is listed as “M” (Manufacturing Zone). The property is also in two different airport overlay zones (AEOZ), accident potential zone 1 (APZ1) and accident potential zone 2 (APZ2). Proposed Design Phase 2 of this project provides 2 warehouse style buildings with 8” fire suppression lines, paved parking, and paved drive aisles for access to the buildings. The total building footprint for this phase is 178,000 square feet, asphalt and concrete coverage is 137,881 square feet, which yields a total proposed impervious area of 315,881 square feet of coverage. The buildings are intended to accommodate multiple end-users. The uses will conform to the performance standards set forth in Article 5 section 8 of the Zoning Ordinance of Dover and section 19.1 specified as the Manufacturing Zone Uses permitted. End users must also conform to the regulations listed in Section 22 – Airport Environs Overlay Zone. Stormwater Stormwater on the East side of building C will flow into the stormwater pond approved in phase 1 via curb-cuts. The remaining stormwater will be collected from inlets throughout phase 2 parking and carried by pipes to utilize the same pond. Utilities Trash pickup will be managed privately as there are screened dumpsters proposed on-site for each building. Water and sewer service will be provided by the City of Dover and will be a continuation of 76 the phase 1 design. The onsite sewer lateral is proposed as a 6” pipe to continue to the phase 1 cleanout

Two fire hydrants are proposed with this phase and each building has been designed with a fire department connection as an auxiliary feed for the fire suppression systems. The 8” fire suppression lines entering each building are fed by the phase 1 pump house. Parking Parking will meet the Manufacturing Zone code standards which is 1 space per 800 square feet of floor space. The entire project will require 290 spaces based on this calculation. This phase proposes 197 spaces (which includes 4 ADA van accessible spaces). With the phase 1 subtotal of 93 from phase 1, the total parking proposed is 290 spaces. Trees & Landscape Phase 2 of this project proposes 27 trees to be planted on-site. The total undeveloped lot included 316,353 square feet of wooded area. The total preserved wooded area is equal to 159,564 square feet which is greater than 50% of the original wooded area and as such, woodland mitigation will not be necessary. The undeveloped non-woodland area of the site is 701,074 square feet. The entire project is required to have 234 trees (as calculated from 701,074/3,000) to offset the development of the site. In total, the two phases together propose 60 trees to be planted onsite. The remaining 174 trees are to be planted offsite as per the agreement with the City of Dover. Performance Standards The site will be subject to the performance standards as per article 5 section 8 of the City of Dover Zoning Ordinance and as such will be subject to the performance standards review. All construction equipment will be inspected by authorized personnel deemed suitable by the contractor and will be powered by modern diesel engines with unaltered factory emission controls installed as per the manufacturer. No explosives will be used in the construction of this project. Daily operations will keep dust to a minimum with on-site water tank trucks as needed. Erosion and sediment control devices including and not limited to silt fence and inlet protection will be in place during the entire construction process. Summary We are respectfully seeking preliminary site concept approval for the phase 2 design of Dover Industrial which includes 2 warehouse buildings similar in architecture to the building proposed in phase 1. There will be ample parking which includes ADA van accessibility and bicycle parking. Screened dumpsters, utilities, and stormwater management are also proposed for this project. We are excited to be working with the City of Dover and look forward to the upcoming reviews and approval. We thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, ERNEST A. LEMP, JR.
