S-25-01 Dover Mobility Center Garage at 133 S. Governors Avenue – Public Hearing and
Review of a Site Development Plan Application, Parcel Consolidation Plan, and associated
Architectural Review Certification for construction of a four/five story, multi-purpose parking
garage structure to be known as the Dover Mobility Center Garage. The structure is to consist of
431 parking spaces, welcome space, a management office, and retail and storage spaces. The
subject site involves a series of parcels in the block between S. Governors Avenue and S.
Bradford Street north of Minor Street Alley. The properties are zoned C-2 (Central Commercial
Zone) and subject to the H (Historic District Zone). The owners of record are the Downtown
Dover Partnership, City of Dover, Capital City Transformation Alliance, and CEI Properties
LLC. Property Addresses: 133 S. Governors Avenue, 139 S. Governors Avenue, 145 S.
Governors Avenue, 136 S. Bradford Street, 148 S. Bradford Street, 150 S. Bradford Street, and
132 S. Bradford Street, Dover. Tax Parcels: ED-05-077.09-02-10.00-000, ED-05-077.09-02-

Consideration: Tree Mitigation Plan and Parking Strategy Statement. This project was the
subject of HI-24-09 for Historic District Commission Review and Recommendation on the
Architectural Review Certification on December 19, 2024. The project is also associated with
MI-24-10 Request for Alley Abandonment: Part of Alley Between S. Governors Avenue and S.
Bradford Street.
Representatives: Mr. Mike Riemann, Becker Morgan Group; Mr. Ken Anderson, Downtown
Dover Partnership; Ms. Diane Laird, Downtown Dover Partnership; Mr. Mike Caine, Core
States; Mr. Caman Skinner, Core States; Mr. Mike Henry, Becker Morgan Group; Mr. Jed
Hatfield, Colonial Parking; Mr. JD Bartlett, EDiS
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this Site Plan S-25-01. It is for the Dover Mobility Center
Garage. The main address that we are using is 133 South Governors Avenue. The Planning
Commission this evening is considering a Site Development Plan. Along with that, there is
consideration of the Architectural Review Certification which we have information coming to us
from the Historic District Commission. As part of this Site Plan Review, there are other items for
consideration. That would include a Tree Mitigation Plan and then their Parking Strategy

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 21, 2025
Statement. Technically, they have four things that are interlinked here: the Site Development
Plan, the Architectural Review Certification, the Tree Mitigation Plan, and the Parking Strategy
Statement.
This project involves a total of six main parcels and then an adjoining parcel. They are found
north of the Minor Street Alley. The image on the screen shows the Minor Street Alley at the
bottom of the drawing. We are between S. Bradford Street on the right and S. Governors Avenue
on the left. It is a series of parcels in a number of different ownership entities at the present time
but ultimately will end up under one parcel ownership entity. The addresses involved are 133 S.
Governors Avenue, 139 S. Governors Avenue, 145 S. Governors Avenue, 136 S. Bradford
Street, 148 S. Bradford Street, and 150 S. Bradford Street. Additionally, there is an adjacent
parcel at 132 S. Bradford Street that may be involved in the project to address some stormwater
management and tree planting requirements. In total, we are dealing with just over an acre of
land here in Downtown Dover. It is proposed for a parking garage structure that also has some
other amenities on its first floor. The zoning of this area is C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) and it
is found within the H (Historic District Zone). The proposal is for a parking structure, roughly
four to five stories in height depending on how you count the last ramping of the project building
that would provide an estimated 431 vehicle parking spaces. Currently right now, this area has a
series of surface parking lots and also two buildings that were at 148 and 150 S. Bradford Street
that were previously reviewed in May and June of 2024 for demolition. Demolition on one of
those commenced today. That was previously approved for demolition and authorized under
Permit. The other project that this is associated with that she mentioned earlier in the meeting is
the Request for Abandonment of an Alley. The Planning Commission saw that last month with
MI-24-10 and that would abandon the portion of the alley that kind of bi-sects the six parcels that
make of the bulk of the project site. That alley, in some cases, runs across parcels and also exists
in its own right-of-way area in other locations. But basically they are looking at a parking garage
structure. The multiple stories of the structure will pretty much make up this entire project area.
As you can see here, it expands from S. Bradford Street to S. Governors Avenue with entrances
on both of those. The building is brought to the sidewalk. There is, as part of the Architectural
Review Certification, a request for an Alternative Bulk Standard related to the side yard setback
along the north property line. At that north property line, the setback varies from 0.7 feet to a
little over 5 feet. In the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone), that setback would be required to be 5
feet when it’s provided; however, the Historic District Commission has recommended approval,
as did Staff, of that Alternative Bulk Standard to allow the placement configuration of the
building as shown here. The Planning Commission, because this project is in the H (Historic
District Zone), will be focusing on the final action of the Architectural Review Certification.
That is required with any new construction in the H (Historic District Zone). The Historic
District Commission met on December 19, 2024 to consider their recommendation on this
Architectural Review Certification. They did recommend approval of that and referenced that in
a Report that was included in the Planning Commission meeting packet. The Historic District
Commission recommends approval subject to the conditions that Staff offered as part of that
Report. If you are looking at that Report specifically, those Staff Comments and
Recommendations were outlined starting on Page 8 of that document. They are just referencing
that document in that Planning Commission Report. The Historic District Meeting Minutes were
completed and they were emailed to the members of the Planning Commission on Friday
afternoon of last week and also provided in hard copy on the Commissioner’s desks this evening.

They outline the discussion of the Historic District Commission in consideration of the Plan to
develop this site. Related to Planning Commission items, one thing she will note is parking in the
C-2 (Central Commercial Zone). There is not a requirement for parking based on use. In this
area, it does request that the applicant provide a Parking Strategy Statement. The applicant has
done that and it describes what is the existing parking scenario there and then the strategy with
this new building, which is a parking garage. Additionally, there are bicycle parking
requirements that they are accommodating within the building. Also, within the building, there is
a plan for some dumpster units. There is ongoing discussion regarding the centralized collection
point at this current site for how that will be implemented in the future. On the image here, and
the applicant will talk more about their architecture for this project, you can see this view shows
that the first couple stories of the building are brick and then it transitions to a precast concrete
panel system for the upper floors where you find the bulk of the parking structure itself. She will
leave the details of the architecture to the applicant to discuss more fully. The other item for the
Planning Commission is related to tree planting. The overall project would require fifteen (15)
trees. They have made a request for a Tree Mitigation Plan that in concept would plant a number
of those trees off-site, on either land owned by the Downtown Dover Partnership or in
conjunction with the City of Dover in looking for locations for tree planting. The Zoning
Ordinance allows the Planning Commission to grant that wavier from planting the trees onsite to
planting them somewhere here in the City of Dover. The Planning Commission should be aware
that the Development Advisory Committee Report is provided to them in total and includes the
comments from the other regulatory agencies. Additionally, she already mentioned that they
received a copy of the Architectural Review Certification Report from the Historic District
Commission and also their Meeting Minutes. Just a reminder on what you are looking at tonight.
You are looking at a Site Development Plan with Architectural Review Certification and then
consideration of the Tree Mitigation Plan and Parking Strategy Statement. Those items can be
collectively addressed under one motion or multiple motions in the future as Planning
Commission members see fit.
Mr. Witham stated that he believes that the Historic District Commission has recommended
approval. Is that correct? Responding to Mr. Witham, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that is
correct, they have recommended approval of this Development Plan.
Mr. Witham stated that he thinks all of the Commissioners have Minutes from that meeting if
they want to review that.
Mr. Riemann stated that the first slide of their presentation just gives an overview of the property
which he knows everyone is familiar with because they had seen this application recently as it
related to the Alley Abandonment that Mrs. Melson-Williams has mentioned. The property
consists of six (6) parcels. You see those outlined in yellow with S. Bradford Street to the right
side, S. Governors Avenue to the left, and Minor Street Alley to the south. The purple highlights
the existing parcel boundaries that make up the six (6) parcels totaling roughly 0.85 acres. The
Alley Abandonment that you saw recently sort of bisects running from the middle of Minor
Street north on the property. The next slide is an overview of how the building itself sits on those
six (6) parcels. As Mrs. Melson-Williams has mentioned, it primarily occupies a majority of the
site. You see what is shown in the tannish orange is the building and then the green there is some
open space and stormwater area. The next slide highlights in a little bit more detail the proposed
4

Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 21, 2025
structure itself from a Site Plan perspective. The total square footage of the facility is
approximately 170,000 SF. There are four parking levels plus the roof and this will total
approximately 431 parking spaces including four (4) future EV capable parking spaces as well as
thirty-six (36) bike parking spaces to the Bradford Street side of the building. You can also see
the location of the retail portion of the project, the Welcome Center portion of the project, some
storage, and management office space. The ground floor portion of the parking facility consists
of some thirty (30) minute shorter term parking while the upper levels will consist of some
longer term permit type parking. As was discussed on the Alley Abandonment and Mrs. Melson-
Williams covered it very well, this body voted to approve the Alley Abandonment. They then
had to go before the Utility Committee for recommendation which they recommended approval
on January 14, 2025 and this will be complete when we go before City Council on February 10,
2025. That is in process and moving forward. As it relates to historic review as was mentioned,
that was approved on December 19, 2024 and we are working to include the recommendations
from the Historic District (Commission) review board in the final design. The next slide shows
some of the architectural elevations. These should be in packet. The top elevation is from
Governors Avenue and the bottom elevation is from Bradford Street. The next slide shows the
additional sides. The bottom elevation is looking south from Governors Avenue. The black
outline represents the Harry Louie Building and then the green is the façade which is intended to
be in a painted mural to be selected through an RFP process and then the opposing side is
coming from the south looking north. The next slide shows some perspectives. You can see the
brick that was mentioned, the stepping back of the parking structure itself obviously creating
some appeal to the street and pedestrian friendly sidewalks and landscaping along the street
there. The next slide you can see the entrance and exit. The facility does have access points on
both Bradford Street and Governors Avenue. Those would be both enter and exits. You can see
the red arrows showing the access to Bradford Street and to S. Governors Avenue. There is some
bike parking. He thinks the Code required around twenty (20) parking spots for bikes. This has
thirty-six (36) total spots. They also have an opportunity for a bike share on the S. Governors
Avenue side of the project. This project is really meant to be a mobility hub providing
opportunity for lots of different transportation opportunities. Vehicular parking to obviously
serve the Downtown which is something that is part of the Vision Plan that was done in the
Master Plan but also providing other opportunities to bike, bike share, and also ride share as
well. This would be a huge benefit to Downtown Dover and something that he knows as a
business in Downtown Dover that they are looking forward to.
As it relates to the tree waiver, that is something that this body does need to act on. Thirteen (13)
trees are required in accordance with the Code; however, as you can see, a majority of the site is
occupied by the structure itself and there is really not the opportunity to plant those trees. They
have committed and their request is to work with the City to mitigate those trees off-site on other
properties either owned by the City or owned by the Downtown Dover Partnership. They have
reviewed the Staff Report. They will continue to work with the agencies. As you know, this is
really the first stop in the plan process with the City as a preliminary plan approval and then they
will continue after this step to work with the agencies such as DelDOT, the Fire Marshal’s
Office, Kent Conservation District, the Public Works Department and obviously the Planning
Office. They still have some more work to do after today and they will continue to work with
those agencies to achieve all of those approvals.

Mrs. Maucher stated that on the front of the package of photos, there is a car parked in front of
the structure. Are you planning to eliminate on-street parking on both sides of S. Governors
Avenue? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Hatfield stated that the plan at this point is the
parking on the S. Governors Avenue west side opposite from the Mobility Center would
essentially be untouched. On the east side up against the curb of the Mobility Center, right now
there is a bus stop there which would probably remain. We may impact some parking where the
entrance and exit will be for the Mobility Center so there may be a couple of spaces lost on-street
there.
Mrs. Denney stated that she is not sure how familiar you are with Dover or if you live in Dover
but she does. She lives eleven (11) blocks north on State Street. The nature of our historic town
here in the State that started the Capital City of the State that started the Nation, they do a lot of
things down here to celebrate our history. Dover Days, St. Patrick’s Day, Memorial Day Parades,
and Fourth of July on The Green and hundreds of people come to be here. It is a very family
oriented activity that happens every few months. Santa comes to town and people gather here.
Even prior to our current economy, it can be difficult for families to do things and there has
always been free parking and plenty of it. Of course some of the lot that you will be utilizing will
take away some of that parking, although there should be some on-street parking but not quite as
much now. Would there be any consideration towards when those specific historic events happen
that perhaps there would be some type of a holiday from parking as well? Because she is telling
you that families come. These are big days in our lives. May Day parades, re-enactments of
historic events and she is not talking about when the Amish Bike Tour happens. There are some
other events that happen but especially those that pertain to the City of Dover. Could there be
some exception for those people so the same families can still come and enjoy the events?
Especially around Christmas it is important because money is tight and this is how we celebrate.
She is just wondering how that could work out. Responding to Mrs. Denney, Mr. Hatfield stated
to give a little bit of his background. He does not live in Dover but he has been coming to Dover
and served on the Parking Committee of the Downtown Dover Partnership for over fifteen (15)
years. He is very familiar with Downtown Dover and familiar with parking Downtown and
familiar with all of the activities that you described. He had the privilege of being Downtown for
the Fire & Ice Festival and there a lot of people, exactly like she described for some of the other
big events that happen in town. At the end of this project, once this project is built, the building
will actually be owned by the Downtown Dover Partnership. So, Colonial Parking won’t be
making decisions about fees or when fees are charged. He is sure that the Downtown Dover
Partnership would be supportive of events. Many of the events they help host so he is sure that
they would probably be willing to offer parking which would now create more opportunity for
more people to come Downtown and have a safe convenient place to park. He would suspect that
those big event days would probably be complimentary parking.
Mrs. Denney stated that she would ask them when their representative comes up. She also has a
lot of concern about it and she happened to Chair the meeting when this was first introduced. To
her, when you are the Chair you feel a little muffled. She really has a need in her heart because
she is very much into history and nature. She is very concerned that at some point there will be
issues that occur with some of our brick buildings. It’s really not just the historic buildings and it
doesn’t matter because this came up at that meeting, “well nobody lived there” or “nobody died
there.” Well, you know what, people did live there and at the time of some of these buildings,
6

Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 21, 2025
there was no hospital and people were born, lived and died in those houses. She would be willing
to guarantee in many of those houses at least. Her big concern is that within Dover, there was a
Quaker named Jonathan Jenkins. She happened to eventually with her husband, purchase and
live in that house in Camden. He had indentured servants. He was a Quaker and he had
indentured servants. He hid them and protected them. They and the neighbors had almost
underground railroads under their houses trying to protect those people and thereby protecting
history. People thought they were slaves but they were indentured servants and when he freed
one of his indentured servants, Absolam Gibbs, he gave him a lot of clay which is now on
Camden-Wyoming Avenue. It was clay. The Quakers got together and decided to give them (him
and other freed slaves or indentured servants) this lot and they used that clay to hand make
bricks. They made the bricks for a lot of the original houses in Camden and some of the
buildings in Dover. It is hard to research all of that, as she has been trying to do some on her
own. But she thinks it would be a travesty if any of the buildings here in this historic area that
were built by freed indentured servants were lost; she thinks that would be a travesty and she just
needs to say that out loud.
Mr. Lewis stated that if he saw the numbers right, four (4) out of four hundred thirty-one (431)
spaces are potentially for electric. Is that a normal ratio? One for every one hundred spaces when
you are building a new lot or how does that work? Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hatfield stated
that the ratios are all over the place because EV utilization is still kind of all over the place and
undetermined what the demand is going to be. It was a number that they are seeing in other
parking facilities throughout the ones that they manage and kind of nationally. Some areas are
putting in more because they are seeing more demand. But that is our intent, to have four to start
and then adjust once we see utilization.
Mrs. Maucher stated that she thinks she read that some of the spaces will be allocated to
apartments. She assumes that means the one right across the street. She knows that when she
worked on Loockerman Street, our building had several permits issued to the business to utilize
the parking at no cost to the employee. Will businesses be given a certain allotment and if so,
how many of the 431 parking spaces will be unavailable due to commitments with residents or
businesses? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Hatfield stated that is a great question and it is a
little hard to say today. The one project that they are working on across the street is
contemplating about 150 apartment units. Depending on the mix of those residences, it could be
1 or 1.5 cars per unit. It could 100 to 150 spaces that they may be interested in utilizing in the
Mobility Center; so it’s maybe up to half. The intent would be that the building would be
available and it’s being sized to try and be available not only to that project but to other projects
as well as overall Downtown Dover. We are anticipating that 400 spaces would be enough
supply to be able to encourage the type of development that is contemplated in the 2030 Capital
City Plan and be able to have enough supply for all of the businesses Downtown, the residents
Downtown, and the visitors to Downtown and really be an all-inclusive parking and mobility
hub. That is why we are tying in bicycle parking and scooter parking and all different modes of
transportation to be able to get in and out of Downtown Dover with this facility. We are
contemplating that this would have enough for all of the future growth or at least a significant
portion of the future growth contemplated in the Master Plan.
Mrs. Maucher asked if the intent is to not allow parking across the street. It would all be there?

So at least 150 of those 431 parking spaces would be used and then the grocery store would have
employees. Would they be expected to park there? Her concern is that you are going to have an
awful lot of these 431 spaces dedicated to residents or employees from businesses to park. That
is why she was concerned about the elimination of on-street parking because that is an option as
well. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Hatfield stated that the elimination of on-street parking
is going to be minimal and really just to satisfy the movement of activity within the Mobility
Center. They are going to be displacing like 60-70 spaces on the parking lot to create 400. We
are going to have a net gain of 300 or 330 spaces. The extra space will be to support the entire
Downtown. Yes, some will be occupied by residents across the street but the beauty of having
this as part of infrastructure for Downtown mobility is that the residents needs would typically be
in the evenings and the business needs will be during the day and visitors may be a mix of
different hours. By having this as a public parking facility, you get the benefit of maximizing the
use of those spaces because you have different groups of people that are going to be parking and
utilizing it.
Mrs. Maucher asked if there would be a bus stop at the front or would there be a bus pull out?
Her concern is traffic going up and down. She owns a property on N. Governors Avenue. It is a
heavily traveled road. With cars coming in and out of the Parking Garage plus across the street, it
is a lot. Are buses going to be able to go in or are they going to pull on the side of the street?
Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Hatfield stated that they would not go into the building. They
would essentially work the way they work today. Most of the DART bus activity is on
Governors Avenue today. There is a bus stop at Minor Street and Governors Avenue. Part of the
design was creating the canopy to create a waiting area to tie into that transit as part of this total
transportation hub. It would basically function on the street, just as it functions today. There is
just going to be a building and some cover for people waiting.
Mr. Witham stated that in looking at the plans, there is going to be entrances for pedestrian
traffic other than simply going through the entry to the garage. Is that correct? Responding to Mr.
Witham, Mr. Riemann stated that there are two stair towers for pedestrians that are glass on two
of the corners. You can have pedestrian access and then go up to whatever level you need to go
up to.
Mr. Witham asked if it was going to be a separate access for pedestrians to the building.
Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Riemann stated that was correct.
Mr. Witham asked where exactly the charging stations were going to be. Responding to Mr.
Witham, Mr. Riemann stated that he is not sure they have sited exactly where they are at this
point.
Mr. Witham asked if they were going to be on the ground floor. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr.
Riemann stated that typically he would say the ground floor is what they are thinking but they
have not sited it on the plan yet.
Mr. Witham stated that he is thinking that people who want to charge their cars are going to be
there more than 30 minutes and that will tie up parking in the building. Have you made plans for
that? Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Riemann stated that he thinks they are still sorting out
8

Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 21, 2025
exactly where they go at this point but ground floors is where they think they are thinking they
will go but they have not made a final decision on that yet.
Mr. Witham stated that he knows the City does not require a minimum. Responding to Mr.
Witham, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that that was correct. Right now, the City of Dover does
not have an EV parking requirement. They certainly encourage planning for it because a lot of
times it’s easier to plan for that infrastructure from the beginning.
Mr. Witham asked if there was any type of cars that may have an alternate fuel source to be
banned from the building. As you are aware, technology for servicing cars either by gasoline or
electricity is fast advancing. We now have fuel cell availability in automobiles that still require
charging. This is an ongoing technology that is going to increase in the next couple of years.
That will not affect your plans for the building will it? Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Riemann
stated that he does not think that is going to be an issue.
Mrs. Maucher stated that one of the impediments for the adoption of electric vehicles is residents
living in apartments can’t put a charger in their properties. Are you working with the developer
of the site across the street that will have people parking in that garage to determine if they need
additional EV spaces? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Riemann stated that he thinks that is
still in the planning stages and he is not sure that he has an answer to that right now. It is all the
same team so obviously if they need to make some adjustments as they work through that plan
process of that project, they can adjust.
Mrs. Maucher stated that it is just a consideration because it is a large impediment to adoption.
Mr. Witham stated that one of the concerns that the City would obviously have would be
security. Is the site going to be a 24 hour site? Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Riemann stated
that when you say 24 hour, the garage will be accessible 24 hours. There will be some staffing in
the area. There is an office portion but that office wouldn’t be manned 24 hours. They haven’t
solidified what those office hours are at this point. They will have security cameras. Part of the
design was with security in mind. You can see in the picture on the screen that the staircase that
goes up is all glass so that there are visible areas and there are not areas where someone could be
hiding or you can’t see who is in the building. It will be professionally managed. There will be
some staff on-site and there will be security cameras. The design itself was done in such a way
with security in mind.
Mr. Witham stated that he assumes the glass area will be well lit. Responding to Mr. Witham,
Mr. Riemann stated that is correct.
Mr. Witham stated that he also noticed that on the design you have a ledge between the first and
second floor and there is some green there. Is this going to be what they call a “green” building?
Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Riemann asked if he was talking about above the brick.
Mr. Witham stated yes, above the brick. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Riemann stated that he
needed to defer to the architects on that.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 21, 2025
Mr. Caine stated that as you are looking at this, they were trying to work through at least in the
initial planning stages, how to deal with stormwater mitigation. It wouldn’t be technically a
green roof but they are interested in introducing what they call a tray system to help really limit
the amount of stormwater within the site and also provide some greenery. It wouldn’t be
plantings; it would be what they call sedum. It is a specific kind of spongy moss but that is still
really in the design detailing at the moment. They are really providing themselves the flexibility
to help mitigate stormwater.
Mr. Witham stated that that type of technique already exists in Dover. If you look at the Kent
County Courthouse, it’s a green building according to the design. He knows that since he spent
about 23 years in that building and that “green” had to be properly managed, manicured if you
will. Meaning you are going to have to hire someone on a regular basis to take care of the
greenery on the building. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr. Caine stated correct. When they talk
about maintenance, it wouldn’t be someone with a lawn mower or anything. It is very low
maintenance. It would just be part of the routine maintenance of the building. It is not super
intensive per say.
Mr. Witham opened a public hearing.
Ms. Diane Laird – Executive Director of the Downtown Dover Partnership
Ms. Laird stated that she just wants to acknowledge that this is a terrific team of designers,
planners, engineers, etc. that have given a great deal of thought to the fact that they are in a
Historic District. And they want to be very sympathetic to the history as well as accomplish the
opportunities that exist for a very current building in a contemporary society. They are working
very hard to make this a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing structure as well as efficient and
exciting architectural opportunity for a community that is moving forward. They are excited
about the future it brings because of the parking capacity and because of some retail. They are
excited because it is one of the first re-development projects underway because it will lay the
foundation for future re-development. It will not be having development that then doesn’t have
parking to accommodate or transportation options to accommodate many new residents that they
anticipate here to make it a thriving Downtown. They are excited about it and they believe that
they are moving ahead very efficiently as well as responsibly with the project.
Mr. Witham stated that given the size of the building between 4-5 stories high, it will probably
be the tallest building in Dover. Would it not be? Responding to Mr. Witham, Ms. Laird stated
that the hospital will be the tallest and also the Duncan Center and even the apartments that are at
S. Governors Avenue and Loockerman Street. They are about five stories which is about the
same height. They have considered that as well as the aesthetics from Loockerman Street and
looking ahead or over. In doing some modeling and perspective drawing from various angles that
are realistic view point or vantage points, it is not overwhelming. It is almost imperceptible for
instance because of the color and also the trees, even in any given season. They are not
concerned that it is going to be looking out of place or out of scale.
Mr. Lewis asked if the amount of spaces planned for, is that with the anticipation of there not
being any parking on Loockerman Street in the future or is that not the plans for that?
Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Laird stated that it is not contemplated that they will every
10
13
Página 14
Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 21, 2025
remove every parking space from Loockerman Street. There may be some slight reduction,
maybe 6-8 spaces with a plan that they have currently in a serious conceptual phase but that is to
increase place making opportunities like more dining on the street, wider pedestrian walkways,
so maybe some more curb bump-outs to reduce the speed at which people travel or want to travel
in a pedestrian oriented area. Even with some of what they have contemplated for widening
sidewalks or making it safer to cross streets will only eliminate maybe 6-8 spaces in the span of
Loockerman Street. It is never the intent to get rid of on-street parking.
Mrs. Denney stated that to that point, when we have these parades that we tend to have, we do
have a lot of fire engines that will come down Loockerman. With the width, will they still be
able to travel down the street still? Responding to Mrs. Denney, Ms. Laird stated that these plans
are concept and will move to the engineering phase with transportation experts so they are not
concerned. It is important and a priority to ensure safe travel with emergency vehicles. Of course
with two primary roadways to the hospital, they certainly want to keep that wide open.
Mrs. Denney stated that she is pretty sure the State and the hospital would be involved if
something were to happen on Governors Avenue or State Street. Living on State Street is really
easy during a snowstorm because Governors and State are the first to be cleared because of those
reasons. Her concern is that when we have these parades, because often State Street is blocked
off of and the officials from the parade have a viewing station where as they go by with their
dancers or their wagons, they go by the viewing station and make announcements of winners.
Many times, they end up going not even to Governors Avenue but further back, turning and then
fire engines and the different wagons all come down, stop at the viewing station and then go
around The Green area. It feels good to know that those widths will remain and those things can
still happen.
Mr. Lewis stated that he doesn’t know who would be willing to answer this but in the materials
that they received, it cites a 2018 Study for the Kent/MPO which studied the parking garage
issues in Dover through the years. This is the second study that took place. They found that 60%
was typically the highest occupancy on a given day and that’s with the current spaces available.
It is fair to say that this group’s feeling is that this Study is obsolete now because the 2030
Project wasn’t contemplated? Are you anticipating a lot more volume in the future coming with
all of the other projects associated with this? It is fair to say “if you build it, the cars will come?”
Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Riemann stated that he thinks Mr. Lewis hit the nail on the head.
He doesn’t think that the Study was considered during existing additions. This project is in
reaction to the 2030 Plan.
Mr. Witham stated that he takes notice of the number of nodding heads in answer to that question
as well.
Mr. Hatfield stated that he would be happy to add to that. The Study, when it was done in 2018,
the 60% was really isolated to one of the parking lots at the time. It was primarily in the
Governors Avenue parking lot and it was really there while others were very well occupied at
that time. In terms of raw numbers, yes that’s what the percentage of open spaces was but it
relates to some of the better located parking lots as perceived by the public, they were much
more well occupied. In the 2030 Capital City Master Plan, there was a projection done that if
11
14
Página 15
Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 21, 2025
they meet the goals of that plan, what would the parking demand look like? To Mr. Lewis’ point,
the conclusion of that Plan was that there would be need for about 800 parking spaces
Downtown. They are looking at the Mobility Center as meeting about half of that demand at the
time of the full buildout that is contemplated in the Master Plan.
Mrs. Maucher asked if there has been any feedback from the businesses and residents on
Bradford Street about increased traffic volumes on their street and how it may affect them.
Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Stonesifer stated that he is the Chair of the Board of Directors
for the Downtown Dover Partnership. To answer that question, they have had several public
workshops. One was with the residents of the immediate neighborhood on Bradford Street where
they have expressed their concerns. They have been lock, stock and barrel with us. The designs
and the concerns that they have had, they have addressed. They had a public workshop in early
December 2024 just before they came in front of this body. They believe that they have worked
through all of those concerns as well as the ingress and egress on both Governors Avenue and
Bradford Street.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that there were two emails received by the Planning Office this
afternoon from Mr. David Louie with questions regarding the demolition that had actually
commenced on the building at 148 S. Braford Street. Planning Staff provided him with some
information that that demolition was in fact authorized by a previous application that was before
the Historic District Commission and Planning Commission and that there was a Demolition
Permit in place. We provided him with more information about this evening’s meeting and that
this evening was focused on the development of those parcels. His concern was the demolition
that was happening and why they were having a meeting tonight if demolition was already
occurring. His second email included a picture of the demolition work in progress. He did not
specifically reference any comments to the Dover Mobility Center but she does want to note that
for the record.
Mr. Witham stated that he noticed on the plans that the laundry business is going to abut right up
to the building itself. Is that going to require some sort of party agreement with that particular
business? It looks like it will be a joint or party wall to him. Responding to Mr. Witham, Mr.
Canie stated that with this, they are abutting parcels. As part of the design, they are required to
have a two hour barrier between that which they have included. That solid wall portion is Code
required knowing that they are right up against the laundry business. They are not over into the
Harry Louie parcel at all. They are just sort of recognizing that they are neighbors and are
required to have such a barrier. There is five feet of separation between the two of us.
Mr. Witham stated that in response to what Mrs. Denney has asked about history, historically in
the old days of Dover, party walls were a pretty common way of building buildings where you
would have to share the adjoining wall with your neighbor. That construction doesn’t really exist
anymore from what he has been reading but that’s a historical use of building materials.
Mrs. Denney stated that is her understanding as well. At a certain point, they stopped doing that
for a lot of reasons and she is sure that fire safety was a main one but she bares no witness to the
regulations and the why it stopped. It’s just an assumption.

Mrs. Maucher moved to approve S-25-01 Dover Mobility Center Garage at 133 S. Governors
Avenue inclusive of the Architectural Review Certification with alternative side yard setbacks, to
approve the Tree Mitigation Plan and to accept the Parking Strategy Statement, seconded by Mr.
Baldwin and the motion was carried 8-0 with Mrs. Welsh absent. Mrs. Maucher voting yes;
based on comments from DAC and Staff and she hope it works. She hopes it brings in the
businesses and residents that they are hoping for. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; based on Staff
recommendations and he thinks it’s a tremendous improvement for parking in the Downtown
Dover area. Dr. Jones voting yes; she certainly thinks it’s going to be a welcomed addition and
she thinks the concerns raised by the DAC and concerns that have been expressed tonight are
given consideration did that it will be certainly a welcomed addition to the Downtown area. Mr.
Reaves voting yes; based on the reasons previously stated. Mr. Lewis voting yes; based on
previously stated reasons and he just wants to thank the representatives for providing such great
visuals with their presentations. It gives you a great sense of hopefully what’s to come. Mrs.
Denney voting yes; in keeping with the sentiments of the Planning Department. Mr. Roach voting
yes; for reasons previously stated. He thinks it’s an absolutely beautiful and welcomed addition
to the Downtown development project and he really can’t wait to see it come to fruition. Mr.
Witham voting yes; he refers to the comments from the Historic District Commission. He echoes
what was said there. The comment was that the location of this garage demonstrates a thoughtful
design which enhances the traffic flow, supports businesses in Downtown Dover, and provides
vital access to cultural institutions here in Dover. He thinks it’s a welcome step for the future of
Dover and its success and for the reasons set forth on the record tonight by the applicant as well
as Staff comments.

FILE #: C-25-01 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning
CONTACT PERSON: Dawn Melson-Williams, AICP PHONE #: (302) 736-7196
Note: This review Report was initially prepared by Staff of the Rossi Group (under a Planning
Services contract with the City of Dover). The Report was completed with additional review and
editing by the City’s Planning Office.
I. PLAN SUMMARY
This application is for review of a Conditional Use and Minor Subdivision Plan to permit the
construction of four (4) townhomes on a 12,158.214 SF parcel of land located at the northeast
corner of Cecil Street and North West Street. The property is currently a vacant parcel of land,
after the prior residential structure was demolished. The property for the proposed development
is zoned RG-1 (General Residence Zone). The owner of record is 4BL, LLC. Property Address:
207 North West Street. Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-076.08-02-01.00-000.
This Report was updated with Record Plan sheets (RP-1 and RP-2) dated February 5, 2025.
II. PREVIOUS APPLICATION
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT – VARIANCES APPROVED (V-24-06)
On November 20, 2024, the Board of Adjustment heard a variance application from the property
owner, requesting two variances: Variance 1 - a reduction in the minimum required lot depth
from 100 feet to 84.5 feet and Variance 2 - a reduction in the minimum required lot area for two
of the lots from 3,000 SF to 2,366 SF. The Board of Adjustment granted the variances requested
based on a total parcel size of 12,168 SF.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located on the northeast corner of Cecil Street and North West Street.
The applicant is proposing to construct four (4) townhouses on the parcel subdivided into four
lots. The homes would front on Cecil Street. Each townhouse is proposed to have a driveway and
garage. Two driveways would take access from Cecil Street, one driveway would take access
from the Alley (as Revised 2/5/2025), and one driveway would take access from North West

Street.
IV. MINOR SUBDIVISION PLAN REVIEW
Subdivision Waiver – Rear Alley Requirement
This application involves a Minor Subdivision to create the four (4) townhouse lots. Each lot
created must comply with the RG-1 zoning district provisions for townhouse units and the
variance granted related to these bulk standards.
According to the Lands Subdivision Regulations (Appendix A), Article VI, A. – Streets, §13.8,
townhouse units are required to have a rear alley; see Code excerpt below.
13.8 All townhouses shall be provided with rear access alleys unless the planning
commission finds that alleys are infeasible for the development or finds that the
design of the townhouses precludes their suitability. The required alley right-of-
way and roadway width may be increased at the discretion of the city manager.
A Subdivision Waiver can be considered by Planning Commission for recommendation to City
Council for final action. While there is an alley to the east of the subject site, the new
configuration of the lots requires another alley at the rear. Since an additional alley is not
planned, a written waiver request for consideration by the Planning Commission was received to
eliminate this rear alley. See Subdivision Waiver Request Letter of February 6, 2025.
V. ZONING REVIEW
The subject property is zoned RG-1 (General Residence Zone). The Applicant proposes to
construct four (4) townhouses, which are permitted as a Conditional Use in the zone. According
to the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3, Section 2. – General Residence Zones (RG-1 and RG-2):
Section 2. - General residence zones (RG-1 and RG-2).
2.4 Conditional uses. The following uses are permitted, conditional upon the approval of the planning
commission in accordance with the procedures and subject to the general conditions set forth in article
10, section 1:
a) Townhouses subject to the following restrictions:
i. No more than one dwelling unit shall be permitted upon a lot.
ii. No more than four dwelling units shall be permitted in a group of townhouses.
iii. Each group of townhouses shall be physically separated from another by no less than
two dwelling units of a different housing type from other groups of townhouses on the
same side of the street.
iv. Townhouse groups shall be designed to minimize points of access to the public street
and to take access from an alley or other shared access where such access is available.
The following are the bulk standards of the RG-1 zoning district for the townhouse units:
Article 4 Section 4.2. [RG-1 zones].
Bulk and parking regulations for general residence zone (RG-1) are as follows (see also article 12, definitions;
article 5, supplementary regulations; and article 6, off-street parking, driveways and loading facilities):

The project has received variances relating to the lot area and lot depth. See previous discussion
of Board of Adjustment Application.
This area is subject to infill standards for the construction of residential units found in Zoning
Ordinance, Article 5 §1.12.
1.12 Infill standards. In locations where a lot or group of lots lies within a developed area, the
following standards shall apply to the development of the infill lots:
(a) Sidewalks. Standard City of Dover sidewalk, per chapter 98, shall be required to be installed
along public street frontage of every infill property by the property owner or developer.
(b) Landscaping. Infill structures shall be designed to minimize the impact on existing, mature
trees when practical. All residential lots shall include landscaping to include plants and shrubs
along the portions of the house that front a public street. No form of vegetat ion shall be planted
on a property in a way that blocks more than half of the front façade(s) from public view.
(c) Primary facade. All buildings shall include a primary entry along the property's street
frontage, and shall also include a porch or other entry feature.
Conditional Use
This Conditional Use Site Plan is subject to the requirements of Article 10 §1 further discussed
below.
With Conditional Use Site Plan applications, the Planning Commission reviews the proposed
project to determine whether or not the intended use of townhouses is appropriate in type and
scale for the immediate neighborhood. The Commission must also consider whether or not the
proposed use will have an adverse impact on the future orderly development of the surrounding
area. Article 10, Section 1. – Approval of Conditional Uses states:

Section 1.
On application and after public notice and hearing, the commission may authorize the
issuance by the city planner of permits for any of the conditional uses for which this
ordinance requires, in the district in which such use is proposed to be located. In approving
any such use, the planning commission shall take into consideration the public health, safety
and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the public in general and of the residents of the
immediate neighborhood in particular, and may prescribe appropriate conditions and
safeguards as may be required in order that the results of its action may, to the maximum
extent possible, further the expressed intent of this ordinance and the accomplishment of
the following objectives in particular:
1.1 Accessibility for emergency response. That all proposed structures, equipment or
material shall be readily accessible for fire, ambulance, police, and other emergency
response;
1.2 Harmony of location, size and character. That the proposed use shall be of such
location, size and character that, in general, it will be in harmony with the appropriate
and orderly development of the zone in which it is proposed to be situated and will not
be detrimental to the orderly development of adjacent properties in accordance with the
zoning classification of such properties;
1.3 Residential zones. That, in addition to the above, in the case of any use located in,
or adjacent to, a residential zone:
1.31 The location and size of such use, the nature and intensity of operations
involved in or conducted in connection therewith, its site layout and its relation to
access streets shall be such that both pedestrian and vehicular traffic to and from
the use and the assembly of persons in connection therewith will not be
hazardous or inconvenient to, or incongruous with, the said residential district or
conflict with the normal traffic of the neighborhood; and
1.32 The location and height of buildings, the location, nature and height of walls
and fences, the nature and extent of landscaping, and other improvements on
the site shall be such that the use will not hinder or discourage the appropriate
development and use of adjacent land and buildings.
If the Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use Application, the use is granted as a
Conditional Use Permit. Such permits may be permanent, subject to limitations outlined in
Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §1.41 or be required by the Commission to undergo periodic
renewal using the procedure described in Article 10 §1.42. Any Conditional Use Permit,
permanent or not, may be revoked using the procedure described in Article 10 §1.43 if the
conditions prescribed by the Commission in conjunction with the issuance of the Conditional
Use Permit have not been or are no longer being complied with.
VI. PARKING SUMMARY
The minimum parking requirements for residences in the RG-1 (General Residence Zone) is one
(1) parking space for every dwelling unit. Based on the proposal of four (4) dwelling units, a
minimum of four (4) off-street parking spaces must be provided as at least one per lot. The
Conditional Use Site Plan submitted includes two (2) parking spaces per dwelling unit, one space
in each driveway and one space in each garage. The driveway for the end unit (Lot 1) at the
corner of Cecil Street and North West Street is proposed to be off of North West Street. The two

DAC Report of February 5, 2025
Page 6
middle lots (Lots 2 and 3) have a driveway from Cecil Street. The driveway for the eastern end
unit (Lot 4) is proposed from the existing alley (as shown on Revised Plan of 2/5/2025).
VII. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Sidewalks/ Pedestrian Circulation
Sidewalks currently exist along Cecil Street and North West Street. The existing sidewalk on
Cecil Street includes a curb depression where access was taken for the parking behind the former
dwelling unit. Any disturbed and ADA non-compliant sidewalks should be replaced with ADA
compliant sidewalks. Connecting sidewalks lead from the street frontage sidewalk to each
dwelling unit.
Rear Emergency Access
Waiver Request – Alternative Rear Emergency Access
Rear Emergency Access is required for some residential dwelling types. According to Article 5,
Section 17 of the Zoning Ordinance, either an alley of 16 feet or an open rear yard of 16-foot width
is required for Townhouses of three to five units (depending on if fire protected) to serve as rear
access. This is to provide access to rear building areas. The plan currently shows an open rear year
yard (no fences). The applicant is pursuing an alternative method of fire protection through
installation of a residential fire sprinkler system. A written Waiver Request was received for
Planning Commission regarding this proposed Alternative to providing the Rear Emergency Access
via an alley or open rear yard formats. The Fire Marshal’s Office will also evaluate any fire
protection measures as related to the fire lane requirements of the applicable Fire Codes.
VIII. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
The Applicant has provided an Architectural Elevation Plan Sheet with the Plan submission. The
architectural elevations show two story townhouses with standing seam steel siding, alternating
in color and in a vertical pattern. The modern appearance of the townhouses with a 24-foot
height would have a flat roof (heat-welded PVC roof membrane) with roof-mounted HVAC
equipment. The entry doors face Cecil Street for each townhouse unit. The garage doors,
depending on the unit, face either N. West Street or Cecil Street or the alley. The elevation will
be updated to reflect the change in garage placement for Lot 4.
IX. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN
Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 16 lays out the requirements for tree planting and preservation.
A new project is required to provide tree planting at a rate of one (1) tree per 3,000 SF of the
“Development Area.” The site overall is noted as being 12,158.214 SF, which would require five
(5) total trees. A Landscape Plan was submitted with the Conditional Use Plan showing six (6) trees
proposed to be planted. The American Holly tree shown closest to the northern lot line is within the
sanitary sewer easement and will conflict with the proposed sanitary sewer line to the rear of the
proposed townhouses. There are also landscaping provisions associated with the infill standards (see
section earlier in this report).
X. ACTIVE RECREATION AREA
Article 5, Section 10 of the Zoning Ordinance requires the reservation of open space, recreation
and other public facilities as a condition of approval for all one-family dwelling, two-family
23

Item 3.
C-25-01 Lands of 4BL, LLC: Cecil Street Townhouses at 207 N. West Street
DAC Report of February 5, 2025
Page 7
dwelling and multiple-family dwelling residential developments requiring conditional use
approval, site development plan approval, or land subdivision approval by the City of Dover
Planning Commission.
Exemption to Recreation Area and Open Space Dedication: Request for Cash-in-Lieu
The Zoning Ordinance Article 5, Section 10.511 notes that residential developments with less
than five acres of land and less than ten dwelling units are considered a “small development” and
as such are exempt from requiring recreation area and open space facilities but shall require a
cash donation to be made by the developer in lieu of a dedication of land.
Article 5, Section 10.52 further stipulates how the amount of the cash donation is determined
10.52 Amount of cash donation. This cash donation shall be equivalent to ten percent of the
appraised value of gross land area. The land area value shall be based on the appraisal
prepared for the developer to secure construction financing. This submitted appraisal shall be a
copy of the original supplied to the lending institution, with that institution identified, and shall
conform in all ways to the Uniform Standard of Professional Appraisal practice and be
performed by an appropriately qualified certified appraiser. If an appraisal prepared for
construction financing is not available, then the developer shall have an appraisal done in
accordance with the procedures set forth in [sub]section 10.174.
The Applicant is therefore not required to provide such recreation facilities but must otherwise
pay a cash-in-lieu fee. This fee is determined based off the appraised value of the gross land area.
The appraisal document with the appraised value of the gross land area must be submitted to the
Planning Office. The Applicant has submitted a formal Letter of Request to use the Cash-in-lieu
provision. The information on the project’s Active Recreation Plan strategy required to be
submitted to the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee of City Council for
review and approval. A separate Active Recreation Review Report (Request for Cash-in-Lieu)
was prepared.
XI. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS:
The subject proposal has been reviewed for code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness
in accordance with the agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following items have been
identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant:
1) The applicant is exempt from the requirement to provide Active Recreation Areas, Open
Space, or other such Public Facilities. However, a cash-in-lieu fee must be approved by the
Parks and Recreation Committee in order for this exemption to be utilized. The Applicant may
choose to provide Active Recreation or other such facilities on-site or must otherwise provide
the appraised value of the gross land area to calculate the fee. Once this is determined, the
Applicant will be required to have the format/fee approved by the Parks, Recreation and
Community Enhancement Committee. This application is scheduled to be presented to the
Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee on February 11, 2025
a) The applicant has submitted a letter requesting the cash-in-lieu for the Active Recreation
Area. They will also need to provide the property appraisal for the Cah-in-lieu amount to
be formally calculated.
2) According to the Land Subdivision Regulations (Appendix A), Article VI, A. – Streets,
24
Página 25
Item 3.
C-25-01 Lands of 4BL, LLC: Cecil Street Townhouses at 207 N. West Street
DAC Report of February 5, 2025
Page 8
§13.8, rear alley access shall be provided for townhouses. A Subdivision Waiver Request to
eliminate the alley has been submitted for consideration by the Planning Commission. This
will also require review and action by City Council.
3) A written waiver request was submitted for consideration by the Planning Commission
related to the Rear Emergency Access provisions if an open rear yard (no fencing) or alley
cannot be provided for the project. The application proposed an alternative to fire protection
measure by using a sprinkler system.
4) Title Sheet (TS-1):
a) General Note #27 indicates that sanitation will be provided by a private hauler. These
townhouse units are eligible for City trash collection, so this note should be deleted.
b) Data Column:
i) Correct the Owner name to “4BL, LLC.”
ii) Provide the bulk standards, including setbacks and lot coverage, for each lot. Each lot
must comply individually with the required bulk standards, except for those standards
for which the Board of Adjustment approved variances.
iii) Remove the note “Trash pickup will be private” and indicate that the City of Dover
will provide trash collection.
c) Update the Owner’s Certification to use the entity name “4BL, LLC” not, Tidemark
Construction.
5) Site Plan (SD-2):
a) Add the depth dimension on the interior lot lines. (These are shown on the revised Record
Plan sheets of 2/5/2025.)
b) Label driveway and sidewalk width and depth. Sheet RP-2 shows it as asphalt paving of 10-
foot width.
4) Landscape Plan (LS-1):
a) In the tree planning calculation, correct the number of trees required to be on-site overall
from (4) to (5).
b) Note that no tree plantings may be placed within 10 ft of any underground utilities. It
appears that at least one of the American Holly trees is within 10 feet of the sanitary
sewer lines or other utility lines.
c) Add landscape requirements of plants and shrubs at front of each unit as part of infill
standards.
5) The Record Plan Sheets (RP1 and RP2) of February 5, 2025 have provided updated and
clarifying information on the lot dimensions. This clarified information appears to comply
with the variances granted by the Board of Adjustment. Ensure that all sheets in the plan set
are updated appropriately.
a) Previously it was noted that if a survey of the property yielded different information on
lot dimensions, then the Planning Office may need to update the Board of Adjustment as
related to the variances they granted (V-24-06).
6) Ensure compliance with infill standards for porch or other entry features for each townhouse
unit.

7) The plan involves a Minor Subdivision to create four (4) townhouse lots. A Record Plan set
to create the lots and identify easements was submitted February 5, 2025 and will be
reviewed to confirm plan requirements and details for compliance.
XII. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET
CODE OBJECTIVES:
In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §1, the Planning Commission in
considering and acting upon Conditional Use Plans may prescribe appropriate conditions and
safeguards so that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the
public in general, and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken
into consideration. These safeguards may to the maximum extent possible further the expressed
intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed
in subsections 1.1 to 1.3.
1) Conditional Use for Townhouses: The request is for the establishment of townhouses
through the Conditional Use process. The proposal is consistent with the 2019
Comprehensive Plan, Housing and Community Development Chapter, Goal 1:
Encourage Balanced Housing Opportunities for all Residents of the City,
Recommendation 1: Encourage the Use of Mixed Housing Types.
This project is located within the City’s Downtown Development District where the
development of quality housing is a priority. The proposed development is consistent
with the goals of the Downtown Development District program.
2) Active Recreation Area: Planning Staff notes that there are currently no Active
Recreation Areas proposed with this Conditional Use Plan/ Minor Subdivision Plan
submission. As this project is exempt from requiring Active Recreation, the Applicant
may choose to implement an Active Recreation Plan or otherwise pay a cash-in-lieu by
providing the appraised value of the gross land area for review by the Parks, Recreation
and Community Enhancement Committee. The applicant is pursuing the Cash-in-lieu
option and will be required to submit the appraisal for the property so Planning staff can
calculate the amount.
3) Lot Configuration:
a) Planning Staff is supportive of relocation of the garage and driveway for the
easternmost lot (Lot 4) to be from the alley at side of the townhouse unit) rather than
at the front from Cecil Street. This format shown on the 2/5/2025 Record Plan would
allow for on-street parking to remain.
b) Consider options for access to the rear yards of Lots 2 and 3 for maintenance.
c) Ensure there are storage areas (in garage space) or elsewhere for the trash and
recycling containers for all units.
XIII. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) In the event that major changes and revisions to the Conditional Use Site Plan occur in
the finalization of the Conditional Use Plan, contact the Department of Planning and
26
Página 27
Item 3.
C-25-01 Lands of 4BL, LLC: Cecil Street Townhouses at 207 N. West Street
DAC Report of February 5, 2025
Page 10
Inspections. These changes may require resubmittal for review by the Development
Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making
recommendations in regard to the Plan.
2) Following Planning Commission approval of the Conditional Use Plan, the Plan must be
revised to meet all conditions of approval from the Development Advisory Committee or
as otherwise noted. A Check Print must be submitted for review by Planning Office Staff
and the other commenting agencies. Upon determination that the Plan is complete and all
agency approvals have been received, copies of the Plan may be submitted for final
endorsement (Final Plan Approval).
3) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory
Committee may provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code
requirements.
4) For building construction, the requirements of the building code and the fire code must be
complied with. Consult with the Chief Building Inspector and City of Dover Fire Marshal
for these requirements. The resolution of these items may impact the site design including
such items as building dimensions and height, building openings, and fire protection
needs, etc.
5) The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any development or ground
disturbing activities on the site the appropriate site inspections and permits are required.
This includes activities to clean-up existing vegetation, the import of fill dirt, etc.
6) Construction may have an effect on the adjacent property owners and adjacent roadways.
Any work requiring the closing or rerouting of local traffic should be coordinated as to
offer the least amount of inconvenience to the adjacent property owners.
7) The addresses for the new townhouse units proposed will need to be confirmed with the
City’s Tax Assessment Office and GIS Division. The existing address may be revised and
new addresses assigned.
8) The applicant shall be aware that Conditional Use Plan approval does not represent a
Building Permit and associated construction activity permits. A separate application
process is required for issuance of a Building Permit from the City of Dover. Each
townhouse unit will require a Building Permit.
9) This property is located in the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area and Dover
Downtown Development District where there are City Incentives for eligible projects.
Contact Planning Staff for more information and applications.
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.

CONFORMITY AND COMPLETENESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGENCY’S AUTHORITY
AND AREA OF EXPERTISE. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS
ELEMENTS WHICH NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE APPLICANT:
Source: 2019 Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Regulations
CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS:
1. As the disturbance for this site will exceed 5,000 square feet, a detailed sediment and stormwater
management plan must be reviewed and approved by the District prior to any land disturbing activity (i.e.
clearing, grubbing, filling, grading, etc.) taking place. The review fee and a completed Application for a
Detailed Plan are due at the time of plan submittal to the District’s office.
2. The following notes must appear on the record plan:
a. The Kent Conservation District reserves the right to enter private property for purposes of periodic site
inspection.
b. The Kent Conservation District reserves the right to add, modify, or delete any erosion or sediment
control measure, as it deems necessary.
c. A clear statement of defined maintenance responsibility for stormwater management facilities must be
provided on the Record Plan.
ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1. Revise the existing impervious on the plans to include the house and shed that was demoed from the site.
since the house and shed have historically been on this site, we can include this in the existing impervious.
2. KCD is in favor of the subdivision waiver for the alley requirement. This would reduce the amount of
impervious on site, allowing this to be a standard plan application, not requiring a stormwater BMP.
3. Please note the Kent Conservation District will not review an application more than three times. If after the
third review the plan is still not found to be approvable, the application will be denied, and a new application
with review fees are to be re-submitted to continue a detailed plan review.
4. A letter of no objection to recordation will be provided upon approval of the Sediment and Stormwater
Management Plan.

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.

Conditional Use Site Plan Review
C-25-01 Lands of 4BL, LLC: Cecil Street Townhouses at 207 N. West Street
Dover Kent MPO has no major objections to the conditional use site plan, but several
recommendations are included in the comments. Sidewalks are currently present along the
property’s frontage, which means the area is relatively safe for pedestrians. As far as bicycle
connectivity, West Street and Cecil Street at this location both have a Level of Traffic Stress
(LTS) of 1. Sharrows are present on Cecil Street, and a separated bicycle lane has been added to
West Street, providing a safe connection to the Senator Bikeway.
To improve pedestrian connectivity, Dover Kent MPO recommends installing crosswalks at the
intersection of West Street and Cecil Street. This feature would probably be most effective if it
were to cross West Street, as is the case with the intersections to the south. ADA ramps are
already installed at the intersection, but they may need to be widened or shifted to align with new
crosswalks.
Finally, if the applicant wanted to reduce the impact of curb cuts and a sloping sidewalk on Cecil
Street, it might make sense to move the driveway of the easternmost unit to the alleyway. Doing
39

this would also provide additional on-street parking on Cecil Street. Note that this is a suggestion
for improving ADA accessibility along the property’s frontage, though doing so is not a
requirement from the City of Dover
If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the
above contact person and the Planning Department as soon as possible.

Report to Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee – February 11, 2025
Page 2 of 4
I. PROJECT SUMMARY:
This application is for review of a Conditional Use and Minor Subdivision Plan to permit the
construction of four (4) townhomes on a 12,168-SF parcel of land located at the northeast corner
of Cecil Street and North West Street. The property is currently a vacant parcel of land, after the
prior residential structure was demolished. The property for the proposed development is zoned
RG-1 (General Residence Zone). The owner of record is 4BL, LLC. Property Address: 207
North West Street. Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-076.08-02-01.00-000. Council District 4. For
Consideration: Active Recreation Plan Review. See Attached Plan Sheets.
II. ACTIVE RECREATION AREA PLAN SUMMARY:
Article 5, Section 10 of the Zoning Ordinance requires the reservation of open space, recreation
and other public facilities as a condition of approval for all one-family dwelling, two-family
dwelling and multiple-family dwelling residential developments requiring conditional use
approval, site development plan approval, or land subdivision approval by the City of Dover
Planning Commission.
Exemption to Recreation Area and Open Space Dedication
The Zoning Ordinance Article 5, Section 10.511 notes that residential developments with less
than five acres of land and less than ten dwelling units are considered a “small development” and
as such are exempt from requiring recreation area and open space facilities, but shall require a
cash donation to be made by the developer in lieu of a dedication of land.
The Applicant is therefore not required to provide such recreation facilities, but must otherwise
pay a cash-in-lieu fee. This fee is determined based off the appraised value of the gross land area.
The appraisal document with the appraised value of the gross land area must be submitted to the
Planning Office so that the fee calculation (Cash-in-Lieu amount) may be completed. The
information is required to be submitted to the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement
Committee of City Council for review and approval.
III. REVIEW PROCESS
The Planning Office has prepared this Active Recreation Area Report outlining the requirements
based on the Zoning Ordinance. The Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement
Committee will make a recommendation. The Planning Commission must act to accept the
Recreation Area Plan as part of the Site Plan review process.
The Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee will review the Recreation Area
Plan at their meeting on February 11, 2025. The Planning Commission Public Hearing and
Review of the Conditional Use/Minor Subdivision Plan C-25-02 is scheduled for February 18,
2025.

Commission.
10.1 Recreation areas.
10.11 Purpose. The purpose of this section is to ensure that active recreation areas are
provided as an integral design element within residential developments and that such facilities are
of an adequate scale in relation to the size of the residential development and which provide
residents with a variety of active recreational pursuits.
10.12 Dedication required. The commission shall require the dedication or reservation of
recreation areas, and the subsequent construction of recreation facilities of a character, extent
and location suitable to the needs created by a development for recreation facilities as defined
and in accordance with the design guidelines set forth.
10.13 Definition. The following are illustrative of the types of recreation areas and subsequent
facilities that shall be deemed to serve active recreational needs and therefore to count toward
satisfaction of the recreation area requirements of this section: tennis courts, handball courts,
racquetball courts, swimming pools, saunas and exercise rooms, meeting or activity rooms within
clubhouses, baseball and soccer fields, basketball courts, volleyball courts, swings, slides and
play apparatus, and developed walking, jogging or biking trails.
10.5 Exemption to recreation area and open space dedication.
10.51 Exemptions for small developments.
10.511 Residential developments with less than five acres of land and less than ten
dwelling units. These developments shall be exempt from the land requirements set
forth in [sub]sections 10.1 and 10.2, but shall require a full cash donation to be made
by the developer in lieu of a dedication of land.
10.52 Amount of cash donation. This cash donation shall be equivalent to ten percent of the
appraised value of gross land area. The land area value shall be based on the appraisal prepared
for the developer to secure construction financing. This submitted appraisal shall be a copy of the
original supplied to the lending institution, with that institution identified, and shall conform in all
ways to the Uniform Standard of Professional Appraisal practice and be performed by an
appropriately qualified certified appraiser. If an appraisal prepared for construction financing is not
available, then the developer shall have an appraisal done in accordance with the procedures set
forth in [sub]section 10.174.
10.53 Separate recreation account. The cash donation shall be deposited in a separate
account to be used for parks, playgrounds or recreational purposes.
10.54 Appeal of appraised value. If the city does not accept the land value established by the
appraisal detailed in [sub]section 10.52, the city may, at the developer's expense, require
another appraisal be performed. This appraisal will be let on a bid basis between at least three
qualified, certified and licensed appraisers selected by the city. The appraiser(s) who prepared
the original appraisal in [sub]section 10.52 cannot be a party to this appeal appraisal.
10.55 Payment of cash donation. One hundred percent cash donation provided under this
[sub]section [10.5] shall be collected prior to issuing the first building permit for the
development.
10.6 Construction phasing. The recreation and open space areas shall be completed in a
proportion equal to or greater than the proportion of residential dwelling units completed,
except that 100 percent of the recreation and open space areas shall be completed prior to
issuing building permits for the final 20 percent of the dwelling units proposed. Building permits
shall not be issued for dwelling units unless the requirements of this section are met.

10.7 Council approval. Prior to acceptance by the planning commission, all areas planned for
public dedication, or cash donations provided under this section must be submitted to, and
approved by the parks, recreation, and community enhancement committee of the City of
Dover, and shall be subject to final review and approval by [the] city council.
Regarding the calculation of the amount of the cash donation, the Zoning Ordinance in Article 5
§10.52 specifies that the “cash donation shall be equivalent to ten percent of the appraised value
of gross land area” and this value shall be “based on the appraisal prepared for the developer to
secure construction financing.” The Applicant is aware of the need to submit this Appraisal
document; upon its submission to the required Cash-in-lieu donation amount will be calculated.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are comments and recommendations from staff of the Planning Office following
review of the Active Recreation Area Plan (Potential request for Cash-in-Lieu).
1) Staff recommends that a Cash-in-lieu donation of an Active Recreation Area be approved
for this project. The project is located Downtown, across from the Senator Bikeway, and
within walking distance of City parks and recreation amenities.
a. The Cash-in-lieu amount is yet to be determined as a land appraisal submission is
required to be submitted to the Planning Office.
b. This Request must be reviewed by the Parks, Recreation & Community
Enhancement Committee of City Council so that they may provide a
recommendation to the Planning Commission.
c. The payment of the Cash-in-lieu is required prior to the issuance of the Building
Permit for this first dwelling unit. The donation amount is deposited in the City’s
Parkland Reserve Fund account.
VI. ADVISORY COMMENTS
1) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Plan occur in the finalization of the Plan
contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of buildings, relocation of site
components, changes in floor area or unit count, or design revisions impacting Active
Recreation Areas. These changes may require resubmission for review by the Development
Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making
recommendations in regard to the plan.
2) The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee shall submit to the
Planning Commission a report detailing the recommendations as to the Recreation Area Plan.

Note: This review Report was initially prepared by Staff of the Rossi Group (under a Planning
Services contract with the City of Dover). The Report was completed with additional review and
editing by the City’s Planning Office.
I. PLAN SUMMARY:
This Application C-25-02 is for Review of a Conditional Use Site Plan/Master Plan for the
development of Villages of Maple Dale –Planned Neighborhood Design – Senior Citizen Housing
Option (Revised) consisting of up to 48 age-restricted apartments on a portion of the property of the
Maple Dale County Club & Golf Course. This application is the third phase of the Master Plan that
was previously established by Applications C-09-06, providing 84 units over two phases. SB-09-04
and Villages of Maple Dale Phases IA and IB are under construction. The plan for Phase 3 consists
of the construction of a three-story apartment building with 48 units (age-restricted) and associated
site improvements. The property is zoned RC (Recreational and Commercial Zone). The property
is located on the east side of Maple Dale Road. The owner of record is U & I Maple Dale, LLC.
Property Address: 180 Maple Dale Circle. Tax Parcel: ED-05-067.00-04-01.00-000. Council
District 1.
This phase of the project was recently the subject of MI-24-08 Villages of Maple Dale (Updated
Phase 3): PND-SCHO Concept Plan considered at City Council in October 2024 for Referral to the
Planning Commission.
Previous Applications:
The subject site is the maple Dale Country Club located on the east side of Maple Dale Road in
Dover, Delaware. The Maple Dale Country Club and golf course was developed in the mid-to
late twentieth century at this location on the east side of Kenton Road. Lands surrounding the
golf course are low and medium density residential developments. In 2009, the General Sketch
Plan (MI-09-06) proposed to develop residential units on a portion of the Maple Dale Country
Club golf course land while maintaining the 18-hole golf course.
The Conditional Use/Conceptual Subdivision Plan (C-09-06) approved by the Planning
60

C-25-02 Villages of Maple Dale: Planned Neighborhood Design: Senior Citizen Housing Option
DAC Report of February 5, 2025
Page 2
Commission in September 2009 established the Villages of Maple Dale Planned Neighborhood
Design-Senior Citizen Housing Option Plan to encompass a total of three (3) development phases
with 30 townhouse units and several apartment style buildings. The Planning Commission
subsequently granted conditional approval of the Preliminary Subdivision/Site Plan (SB-09-04P)
for the Villages of Maple Dale Senior Housing Community: Planned Neighborhood Design
Senior Citizen Housing Option development. This focused on the Record Plan and Construction
Plans for the Phases (Phase 1A and 1B) for the townhouse units only. The associated Record Plan
as recorded on September 30, 2010, created the thirty (30) townhouse lots consisting of twelve
(12) lots on Maple Dale Road and a new cul-de-sac street known as Valhalla Court for eighteen
(18) townhouse unit lots. The Construction Plans for SB-09-04F focused on 4.6 acres and were
approved October 18, 2010 including the stormwater management facility improvements and
agreements with DelDOT for the timing of off-site improvements (lengthen deceleration lane
approaching Maple Dale Road).
Along Maple Dale Road, Phase 1A of Townhouse units is almost complete. A 4-pack of
townhouse units began construction in 2010, and the remaining lots sat undeveloped. In 2024,
new ownership acquired the property and restarted construction of units with eight (8)
townhouse units. Since the townhouse lots for Phase 1B were also already recorded, the
developer reconfirmed the approvals of the infrastructure plans for this phase and now has
commenced site work activities. It is noted that with the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project,
the townhouse lots were rezoned to ROS (Recreational and Open Space Zone) to more clearly
reflect the residential land use and size of these smaller lots. The main golf course parcel of the
Maple Dale Country Club remains zoned RC (Recreational and Commercial Zone).
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION – Current Application
Sketch Concept Plan Application MI-24-08 at City Council on October 28, 2024:
The Plan approval for the Apartment/Condominium Area of Master Plan for the Villages of Maple
Dale Planned Neighborhood Design-Senior Citizen Housing Option lapsed. Application MI-24-
08 restarted the process for approval of the project Master Plan focusing on the Condominium
Phase (previously identified as Phase 2, now listed as Phase 3). For Villages of Maple Dale PND-
SCHO, a 48-unit apartment style condominium building is proposed. The Concept/Sketch Plan
(dated 10/16/2024) depicted the layout for the building, parking lot expansion and reconfiguration,
and remaining Maple Dale Country Club Clubhouse, associated buildings & amenities, and golf
course, etc. The applicant submitted a Sketch Plan Narrative Letter with graphics dated October
16, 2024 and a Concept/Sketch Plan set showing Villages of Maple Dale PND-SCHO (Updated
Phase 3) as modified. The proposed modifications include a reduction in the number of proposed
condominium units from 54 units to 48 units, a reconfigured parking plan, and changes to site
amenities (removal of pool and tennis courts). MI-24-08 was reviewed by City Council on October
28, 2024, with action taken to refer it on for Planning Commission review.
Conditional Use Site Plan/Master Plan C-25-02:
The Villages of Maple Dale Planned Neighborhood Design-Senior Citizen Housing Option
(Revised) Project continues to encompass a total of three (3) development phases with one (1)
apartment style building and 30 townhouse units. The project was previously approved for 54
apartment units; this Plan shows 48 apartment units. Phases 1A and 1B consist of townhouse
units and Phase 3 consists of a three-story apartment-style building. This development also
61
Página 62
Item 4.
C-25-02 Villages of Maple Dale: Planned Neighborhood Design: Senior Citizen Housing Option
DAC Report of February 5, 2025
Page 3
includes associated parking, reconfiguration of existing parking for the golf course and
Clubhouse, active recreation amenities, and stormwater management facilities. The existing golf
course, driving range, and Clubhouse will remain; and the tennis courts and pool facilities are
proposed to be removed to accommodate the development proposal.
III. ZONING REVIEW
The subject site is zoned RC (Recreational and Commercial Zone). The golf course and country
club are permitted uses in the RC zoning district. The Planned Neighborhood Design (PND) -
Senior Citizen Housing Option is permitted under all zoning classifications (with the exception
of the M, IPM and C-4 zoning classifications) as a conditional use. Zoning Ordinance, Article 3
§24.1b notes that “preference shall be given to those projects which are within close proximity to
public transit services, and which are situated within one-quarter (1/4) mile of a grocery store,
pharmacy, restaurant, physician offices, senior center or similar convenience service
establishment.” The PND: Senior Citizen Housing Option is intended to “…encourage the
development of high-quality housing opportunities design to accommodate the particular needs
of senior citizens” by allowing the Planned Neighborhood Design Option through the
Conditional Use process. The PND must present a community design that is in accordance with
the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
Review Process for Planned Neighborhood Design: Senior Citizen Housing Option:
The applicant is seeking approval under the Planned Neighborhood Design Ordinance for the
Senior Citizen Housing Option (see Zoning Ordinance, Article 3, Section 24.1 (b)). The
Ordinance sets forth a two or three-step review and approval process. In the first step, the
developer meets with the City Council and presents a general sketch plan to determine whether
or not the proposed project is of such a design and type that warrants further review by the
Planning Commission.
On October 28, 2024, the City Council reviewed the project and determined that further review
is warranted. The second step is a more detailed Conditional Use Site Plan review and public
hearing process before the Planning Commission. (Note: A third review step with the Planning
Commission may be required depending on the type, physical size, and complexity of the project
application. This is not required for this project.) The site development plan submittals for each
phase of the project are reviewed for consistency with the approved Master Plan (Conceptual
Plan) and to finalize details of the plan.
The current application to the Planning Commission represents the second step in the review
process for the Villages of Maple Dale PND-SCHO to review the Conditional Use Site
Plan/Master Plan for Phase 3 as Revised. The Master Plan was previously approved with
Applications C-09-06 and SB-09-04.
It is important to keep in mind that a PND proposal does not involve a rezoning of the land. The
Planned Neighborhood Design – Senior Citizen Housing Option is plan specific. The land would
remain zoned RC (Recreational and Commercial Zone). The PND option allows for a greater
variety of housing types and allows for commercial uses while requiring 25% open space. Also,
62
Página 63
Item 4.
C-25-02 Villages of Maple Dale: Planned Neighborhood Design: Senior Citizen Housing Option
DAC Report of February 5, 2025
Page 4
by the Zoning Ordinance provisions, in the PND: SCHO the units shall be deed restricted to
require that the head of household for each housing unit be at least 55 years of age or older.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The City of Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan as amended shows this property on the Land
Development Plan Map (Map 12-1) with the Land Use Category of Open Space. The Land
Development Plan Matrix (Table 12-1) notes specifically that the zoning districts of ROS and RC
are appropriate for the Land Use Category of Open Space. Further described in the Comprehensive
Plan, Private Open Space is associated with residential communities (see pages 12-24 and 12-25)
and can also be recreational opportunities. The Maple Dale Country Club is listed as an example
of a recreational type of Private Open Space. The Goal and Polices outlined for Private Open Space
focus on its availability for use to meet recreational needs of the community and its long-term
maintenance.
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan also establishes stated goals for various types of land uses within
the City limits. The stated goal for Residential Land Uses is “to develop and maintain an adequate
supply of housing of varying type, size, and densities that are aesthetically pleasing and located
within neighborhoods designed or redesigned to promote convenience, conservation, and access
to the greater community, but which are properly buffered through distance and landscaping from
incompatible land uses” (see page 12-3). A Policy is to “encourage high density residential
development in infill areas that are near essential services, public transit, and employment
opportunities.” One of the goals outlined in Chapter 11 – Housing & Community Development is
to “Encourage Balanced Housing Opportunities for all Residents of the City.”
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan acknowledges that the residents aged 65+ continue to be a
rapidly growing segment of the population that will require more specialized services (page 3-5),
a trend also identified in previous Comprehensive Plans. In response, a previous Comprehensive
Plan implementation strategy included development of the Zoning amendment to allow for Senior
Citizen housing developments near the community services and transit routes that senior citizens
depend upon. As a result, the Planned Neighborhood Design: Senior Citizen Housing Option
Ordinance was developed and adopted by City Council on July 14, 1997 with multiple projects
making use of these PND-SCHO provisions. This project for Villages of Maple Dale is being
developed following the Senior Citizen Housing Option of the Planned Neighborhood Design.
IV. MASTER PLAN REVIEW DETAILS
Master Plan of Villages of Maple Dale – Phase 3: PND - SCHO (Revised)
This project proposes to develop a portion of Maple Dale Country Club into a Planned
Neighborhood Design (PND) - Senior Citizen Housing Option (SCHO). This project originated
in 2009, with a proposed plan for thirty (30) townhouse units and three (3) apartment-style
buildings comprising 54 units. The project area included 13.71 acres of the overall 152.19-acre
Maple Dale Country Club property. The townhouses associated with Phase 1A are under
construction. The townhouse lots associated with Phase 1B are recorded and site work for their
construction is starting after confirmation of infrastructure approvals. Phase 3, which is the
subject of this application, proposes a 48-unit garden apartment building, which is a change and
reduction in units from the 54 units previously proposed. This report focuses on the apartment 63

DAC Report of February 5, 2025
Page 5
style condominium building proposed under Phase 3.
Site Layout:
The proposed apartment style building is located at the northwestern edge of the Country Club,
in the location of the pool, playground, volleyball area, and tennis courts. These amenities will
be removed to allow for the placement of the building. In addition, the project proposes to
reconfigure the parking lots, including the parking associated with the golf course and
Clubhouse. The plan also includes a proposed walking path and a proposed sand volleyball court.
Project Density:
With the Senior Housing Option, the “project density shall be generally compatible with the
development pattern and existing or potential zone densities of the surrounding area.” The
Conditional Use/Conceptual Subdivision Plan approved in 2009 for this site included a project
density of 6.13 dwelling units per acre (84 units on a 13.7-acre portion of the Country Club
property). The plan provides a project area/limit of disturbance for this project of 5.00 acres.
Using this land area, the proposed density for the project is 9.6 dwelling units per acre. If the
total number of units of the PND-SCHO, including townhouses, is used based on the 13.7-acre
site that was approved in 2009, the project has a density of 5.7 dwelling units per acre.
Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §24.47 states that “the applicant shall demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the planning commission that the project density proposed is compatible with the
development pattern and density potential of the surrounding area.” The surrounding area is a
mix of densities and housing styles. Many of the residential lots in the immediate area are
occupied single-family detached homes; however there are townhouses in the Retreat and in
Turnberry, which is adjacent to the golf course. Additionally, townhouses are under construction
in Phases 1A and 1B of the Villages of Maple Dale. Additionally, there are two apartment
buildings located across from Maple Dale Country Club at the corner of Kenton Road and
Chestnut Grove Road.
Request for PND: Alternative Design Standards
This Plan appears to continue with adjustments to the required design standards of a Planned
Neighborhood Design: Senior Citizen Housing Option. Article 3 §24.5 of the Zoning Ordinance
permits the Planning Commission to grant such adjustments and reads as follows:
Article 3 §24.5. The design standards and dimensional requirements (bulk and parking
regulations) shall be in accordance with article 4, sections 4.10 and 4.11, except that the planning
commission may relax any of these requirements where the developer can demonstrate that such
action is desirable and consistent with the objectives of this ordinance and the comprehensive
plan.
The development proposal includes garden apartments.. The following table presents the
proposed Alternative Design Standards for the Villages of Maple Dale PND-SCHO Phase 3
Revised in comparison to the bulk standards provided in Article 4, §4.11 regarding garden
apartments. See Letter of Request.

V. CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW
With Conditional Use Applications, the Planning Commission reviews the proposed project to
determine whether or not the intended use is appropriate in type and scale for the immediate
neighborhood. The Commission must also consider whether or not the proposed use will have an
adverse impact on the future orderly development of the surrounding area. The following
sections of the Zoning Ordinance which relate to the role of the Commission in reviewing
Conditional Use applications are particularly relevant when reviewing this application:
ARTICLE 10. PLANNING COMMISSION
Section 1. - Approval of conditional uses.
On application and after public notice and hearing, the commission may authorize
the issuance by the city planner of permits for any of the conditional uses for which this ordinance
requires, in the district in which such use is proposed to be located. In approving any such use, the
planning commission shall take into consideration the public health, safety and welfare, the comfort and
convenience of the public in general and of the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular,
and may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards as may be required in order that the results of
its action may, to the maximum extent possible, further the expressed intent of this ordinance and the
accomplishment of the following objectives in particular:
1.1 Accessibility for emergency response. That all proposed structures, equipment or
material shall be readily accessible for fire, ambulance, police, and other emergency response;
1.2 Harmony of location, size and character. That the proposed use shall be of such location,
65
Página 66
Item 4.
C-25-02 Villages of Maple Dale: Planned Neighborhood Design: Senior Citizen Housing Option
DAC Report of February 5, 2025
Page 7
size and character that, in general, it will be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly
development of the zone in which it is proposed to be situated and will not be detrimental to the
orderly development of adjacent properties in accordance with the zoning classification of such
properties;
1.3 Residential zones. That, in addition to the above, in the case of any use located in, or
adjacent to, a residential zone:
1.31 The location and size of such use, the nature and intensity of operations involved
in or conducted in connection therewith, its site layout and its relation to access streets
shall be such that both pedestrian and vehicular traffic to and from the use and the
assembly of persons in connection therewith will not be hazardous or inconvenient to,
or incongruous with, the said residential district or conflict with the normal traffic of the
neighborhood; and
1.32 The location and height of buildings, the location, nature and height of walls and
fences, the nature and extent of landscaping, and other improvements on the site shall
be such that the use will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and us e
of adjacent land and buildings.
If the Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use, the use is granted as a Conditional
Use Permit. Such permits may be permanent, subject to limitations outlined in Zoning
Ordinance, Article 10 §1.41, or be required by the Commission to undergo periodic renewal,
using the procedure described in Article 10 §1.42. Any Conditional Use Permit, permanent or
not, may be revoked using the procedure described in Article 10 §1.43 if the conditions
prescribed by the Commission in conjunction with the issuance of the Conditional Use Permit
have not been, or are no longer being complied with.
Approved as Planned Neighborhood Design: Senior Citizen Housing Option project:
The Villages of Maple Dale project was previously approved in 2009 under the Planned
Neighborhood Design Ordinance for the Senior Citizen Housing Option (C-09-06). A PND
proposal does not involve a rezoning of land. The property where the condominium building is
proposed remains zoned RC (Recreational and Commercial Zone). The land where the
townhouses are being constructed under Phase 1A and 1B is now zoned ROS (Recreational and
Open Space) and consist of individual lots. Also, by the Zoning Ordinance provisions, in the
PND: SCHO the units shall be deed restricted to require that the head of household for each
housing unit be at least 55 years of age or older.
VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
The plan submittal shows the architecture of the Phase 3 apartment style building. The building
is a three-story apartment building consisting of 48 units. The overall massing of the building is
U-shaped with a shingle hipped roof with dormers on each elevation provided. The building
elevations show a building primarily clad in vinyl siding with the first floor articulating between
vinyl with a brick veneer water table and brick veneer. Balconies are included on north, east, and
west elevations of the building and within the courtyard area. The sets of windows are a
combination of fixed and operational windows with the wall box unit for heating/air conditioning
is found just below each window group. The main entrance to the building is located in the
center of the south elevation within the center courtyard. The entrance includes a box gable

standing seam metal roof.
VII. PARKING SUMMARY
The Plan proposal includes a total of 249 parking spaces. The calculation of parking spaces
provided is as follows based on zoning and use:
Use Parking Ratio Number of Spaces
Golf Course (18-hole) 1 space per employee (10 employees) + 4 82
spaces per hole (18 holes)
Clubhouse 1 space per 300 SF @15,000 SF 50
Apartments 2.25 spaces per DU 108
Total Required Parking Spaces 240
Total Proposed Parking Spaces 249
The Plan shows four ADA accessible parking spaces: two in front of the Clubhouse and two in
front of the Apartment Building. Based on other regulations, a total of seven (7) accessible
parking spaces must be provided for the number of proposed parking spaces.
Bicycle Parking
The project is required to provide bicycle parking. The bicycle parking calculation is one for
every twenty parking spaces. Based on the total of 249 parking spaces on this parcel, a total of
thirteen (13) bicycle parking spaces are required.
VIII. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Access/Streets
Access to the Villages of Maple Dale site is provided via a private driveway (named Maple Dale
Circle) off of Maple Dale Drive. Maple Dale Drive (a city-maintained street) takes access off of
Kenton Road.
Sidewalks
The locations of proposed sidewalks and a paved walking trail are shown on the plan. The
sidewalks will surround the building and connect to the walking trail, which will connect to a
concrete sidewalk that will connect with sidewalk under construction on Maple Dale Drive
frontage. The paved walking trail goes along the perimeter of the project area and around the
perimeter of the stormwater management area located south of the proposed apartment building
and west of the Clubhouse.
Waiver Requested: Partial Elimination of Upright Curbing
Article 6 §3.6(b) requires upright curbing for all parking areas. The applicant has submitted a
request for partial elimination of upright perimeter curbing in areas where depressed curbing will
facilitate proper drainage. Upright curbing will be used in most of the parking perimeter, and where
depressed curbing is used, parking bumpers will be installed. This request will be considered by
Planning Staff.

Lighting
Lighting for the site shows pole lights around the center pond area and within certain areas of the
parking lot. There is also wall mounted lighting on the building.
Dumpster
A Dumpster pad site area is located at in the westernmost parking lot at the dead end of parking
lot. The Dumpster requirement for an Apartment Building with over 10 units is that two
Dumpsters are required for the first 48 apartments and one required for each additional 24
apartments or fraction thereof. Based on the unit count of Apartment Building of 48 units, two
dumpster pads are required. Private trash collection will be used for the project. Additionally,
the existing use for the Country Club of Clubhouse & Golf Course would require two Dumpsters
IX. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN
The plan indicates that there is no woodland present on-site: however, there are trees throughout
the golf course. The Development Area is focused on the Clubhouse and its immediate vicinity
where a number of existing trees will be removed for development. Tree plantings are required at
a rate of one tree per 3,000 SF of development area. Based on the project area of 5.00 acres, or
217,800 SF, 73 trees are required. The Landscape Plan shows 73 proposed trees broken down as
follows: 39 shade trees, 28 evergreen trees, and 6 ornamental trees. Tree species are not provided
on the Landscape Plan.
X. OPEN SPACE and RECREATION PLAN
The Planned neighborhood Design is to provide common open space areas for active and passive
recreation opportunities. A PND normally requires 25% open space while a PND-SCHO must
provide 275 SF per dwelling unit of open space. The proposed development plan qualifies for an
exemption under the Zoning Ordinance, Article 5, §10.514 Residential developments of ten (10)
or fewer acres with a density over six units per acre. Under this provision, the applicant must
provide 150 square feet of active recreation area per dwelling unit, or a minimum of 10,000
square feet. Based on 48 dwelling units, the applicant is required to provide the minimum area of
10,000 square feet of active recreation area.
The applicant has proposed a five-foot-wide walking path and sand volleyball court, together
totaling 10,674 square feet. The walking path travels around the building and stormwater
management area, connecting to the sidewalks on the site. See the Active Recreation Area Plan
Review Report for details and comments. The Active Recreation Area Plan will need to be
reviewed by the Council Committee of the Whole: Parks, Recreation & Community
Enhancement Committee.
XI. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS: UPDATE
The subject proposal has been reviewed for code compliance, plan conformity, and completeness
in accordance with this agency’s authority and area of expertise. The following items have been
identified as elements which need to be addressed by the applicant:

safeguards so that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the
public in general, and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken
into consideration. These safeguards may to the maximum extent possible further the expressed
intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed
in subsections 1.1 to 1.3.
1) Waiver Requests:
a) Alternative Design Standards for PND: SCHO:
i) The increase in building height, number of stories, and average number of units per
building is consistent with the varying densities and housing styles in the area,
including townhouses in the Retreat and Turnberry and apartment buildings across
Kenton Road. These Alternative Design Standards are necessary to consolidate all
units within one building.
b) Partial Elimination of Curbing: The applicant has submitted a Waiver Request for partial
elimination of upright curing to allow for drainage, in accordance with the Zoning
Ordinance, Article 6, §3.6. The Planning Office has approved this waiver finding that the
request is related to stormwater runoff facility design and parking bumpers are to be
places at the head of select parking spaces.
2) Accessibility: Given that the proposed Apartment Building will be occupied by senior
citizens, additional ADA accessible parking should be provided to exceed the minimum
seven (7) spaces required.
3) Active Recreation: Staff recommends that the proposed sand volleyball court be replaced
with a more age-appropriate recreational amenity for senior citizens. Alternative suggestions
include bocce courts, seating, and fitness stations. See Recreation Plan Review Report for
comments.
XIII. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) The Planning Commission should act upon the Alternative Design Standards as part of
any motion to approve this Conditional Use Site Plan, or as a separate motion if
necessary. Note: The recommendation for this waiver is at the discretion of the Planning
Commission. The Commission may approve or deny waiver requests.
2) Other agencies and departments which participate in the Development Advisory
Committee may provide additional comments related to their areas of expertise and code
requirements.
3) In the event, that major changes and revisions to the Plan occur in the finalization of the
Conditional Use Site Plan contact the Department of Planning and Inspections. These
changes may require resubmittal for review by the Development Advisory Committee,
Planning Commission, or other commissions making recommendations in regard to the

site design including such items as building dimensions and height, building openings,
and fire protection needs, etc.
6) Construction may have an effect on the adjacent buildings on the site and site access.
Any work requiring the closing or rerouting of residents or visitors to the adjacent
buildings, and site access shall be coordinated as to offer the least amount of
inconvenience.
7) The applicant/developer shall be aware that prior to any ground disturbing activities on
the site the appropriate site inspections and permits are required.
8) The applicant shall be aware that Plan approval does not represent a Building Permit, and
associated construction activity permits. A separate application process is required for the
issuance of a Building Permit from the City of Dover.
9) The applicant shall be aware that Plan approval does not represent a Sign Permit, nor
does it convey permission to place any sign on the premises. Any proposed site or

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
Conditional Use Site Plan Review
C-25-02 Villages of Maple Dale – Phase 3: Planned Neighborhood Design – Senior Citizen
Housing Option (Revised)
Dover Kent MPO has several recommendations for the site plan. Pathways are included in the
plan, which will provide important recreational opportunities for residents. If possible, the
pathways should connect with the existing paths of the Maple Dale golf course. The pathways
should also avoid crossing the driveway of the existing maintenance building, which is a
potential safety concern.
Park benches should be included along the pathways. This is in accordance with the City of
Dover’s requirements for useable open space for senior housing. (See Dover Code – Appendix
B, Article 3, Section 24.61(b).)
The applicant should ensure that all crosswalks are accompanied by ADA ramps and that
pedestrians are clearly visible to motorists while crossing the road. Doing this will improve the
effectiveness of the property’s crosswalks.
91
Página 92
Item 4.
Pathways could be impacted by the growth of newly planted trees. Roots can damage the asphalt
over time, and certain species of evergreen trees are more likely to encroach onto the path. A
distance of at least ten (10) feet between the path and the tree would help avoid these problems.
Additional handicap-accessible parking spaces should be added to the plan. This is especially
important given that the new building will be used as senior housing. All handicap-accessible
parking spaces should meet ADA requirements and be close to a ramp leading to the building’s
entrance.
Finally, the applicant should ensure that bicycle racks are included in the plan, in order to meet
the City of Dover’s requirements on bicycle parking. This should be done at a rate of one (1)
bicycle parking space for every twenty (20) vehicle parking spaces. (See Dover Code –
Appendix B, Article 6, Section 3.10.) If more information on bike racks is needed, please contact
Dover Kent MPO.
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.

RE: Villages of Maple Dale Phase 3
Waiver Requests to Support Conditional Use Site Plan Application
City of Dover, Kent County, Delaware
Dear Ms. Melson-Williams:
The Villages of Maple Dale Phase 3 is a Planned Neighborhood Design – Senior Citizen Housing Option (PND-SCHO)
Project consisting of a proposed 48-unit age-restricted apartment building on Maple Dale Country Club Property. As
required for this PND-SCHO Project, City Council determined at its October 28, 2024 meeting that this project is of such
a design and type that warrants further review by the Planning Commission. A Pre-Application Meeting was then
conducted with your office on November 19, 2024 and our Preliminary Site Plan Submission is being made this day,
January 03, 2025.
As presented on our Conditional Use Site Plans, the following three (3) waivers from the City of Dover Zoning Code are
being requested:
1. Partial Elimination of Upright Perimeter Curbing
2. Exceedance pf Maximum Building Height/Number of Stories
3. Exceedance of Maximum Number of Dwelling Units in a Building
These waiver requests are being specifically requested as follows:
Waiver Request #1 – Partial Elimination of Upright Perimeter Curbing
The City of Dover Zoning Code requires that all new parking areas be bound with upright concrete curb. In certain
locations, upright concrete curb is not proposed to facilitate proper drainage, grading, and stormwater management. In
lieu of upright concrete curb, parking bumper blocks are proposed to prevent vehicles from traversing off the parking
area. The elimination of upright concrete curb in these areas will allow stormwater runoff to leave the parking area in a
weir flow condition. It shall be noted that the remainder of the parking areas (except for the depressed curbs for
handicap access, etc.) will be bound with upright concrete curb.
Waiver Request #2 – Exceedance of Maximum Building Height/Number of Stories
The City of Dover Zoning Code defines building height as the “vertical distance measured from the average elevation of
the finished grade at the front of the building to the highest point of the roof for flat and mansard roofs and to the mean
height between eave and ridge for other types of roofs.” The structure proposed as part of this project will not consist
of a flat or mansard roof. The architectural elevations presented as part of this project incorporate a 38’-4” high building
height.

The building height proposed for this project is consistent with similar-type developments in the City of Dover. Based
on this premise, the Applicant respectfully requests waivers from the maximum permitted building height of thirty-five
feet (35’) and from the maximum permitted number of stories of two (2). These building height standards are based on
City of Dover Zoning Code §24.5 which refers to §4.11 “Garden Apartments”. Also, per §24.5, “the Planning Commission
may relax these requirements when such action is desirable and consistent with the objections of this ordinance and
the comprehensive plan.”
Waiver Request #3 – Exceedance of Maximum Number of Dwelling Units in a Building
The Applicant respectfully requests a waiver to exceed the maximum number of dwelling units in a building (24). As
illustrated on the Conditional Use Site Plans and support documentation, forty-eight (48) units are proposed in the age-
restricted apartment building. Please note that as part of the Villages of Maple Dale Phase 3, the Applicant is proposing
an age-restricted apartment building that is very similar to that proposed as part of The Arbors Senior Housing PND
noted in the table above. That building also consisted of forty-eight (48) units and was recently constructed by the
Applicant adjacent to College Road. Please note that the maximum number of dwelling units is based on City of Dover
Zoning Code §24.5 which refers to §4.11 “Garden Apartments”. Also, per §24.5, “the Planning Commission may relax
these requirements when such action is desirable and consistent with the objections of this ordinance and the
comprehensive plan.”
Thank you for your consideration of this project. If you have any questions/comments or require additional information,
please do not hesitate to contact me at (302) 353-7587.

RE: Wetland and Watercourse Presence/Absence Finding Letter
Villages of Maple Dale Phase 3; City of Dover, Delaware
Dear Mr. Sandhu:
On December 20, 2024, Pennoni conducted a wetland and watercourse presence/absence investigation within the
proposed limit of disturbance to determine if wetlands and watercourses are present. The study area encapsulated
approximately five (5) acres of the Maple Dale Country Club Property (Tax Parcel # 2-05-06700-04-0100-00001). The
project site centroid is located on the north side of Maple Dale Circle at approximately 39°10’29.66” North Latitude and
75°34’26.16” West Longitude.
Potential wetland and watercourse habitats located within the project study area were reviewed through the combined
use of existing published data and a field investigation. Existing published data included 7.5-minute quadrangle USGS
topographic mapping; Natural Resources Conservation Service (NCRS) Web Soil Survey website
(http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov); Kent County Soil Survey; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands
Inventory (NWI); and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNREC) State wetlands map.
The NCRS Web Soil Survey website was reviewed to determine the soil types within the project study area. According to
the website, SacB (Sassafras Sandy Loam, 2 to 5 percent slopes, Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain) are mapped within the
project study area. SacB is not listed as a hydric soil, according to the NRCS List of Hydric Soils. The USFWS NWI maps
shows no wetlands mapped on the project study area.
During the field survey, the presence of wetland habitats within the study area were evaluated using the Routine Wetland
Delineation Method for small areas described in the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual,
Technical Report Y-87-1 (1987) and USACE Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual:
Atlantic and Gulf Coast Region Version 2.0 (November 2010). The presence of watercourses was also evaluated during
the field investigation. Watercourses are defined as channels or conveyances of surface water having defined bed and
banks, natural or artificial, hydrologically sorted substrate material, and the presence of an Ordinary High-Water Mark
(OHWM). These resources are potentially regulated under the Federal Clean Water Act as Waters of the United States of
America and Delaware Code Title 7 Natural Resources and Environmental Control, Chapter 7500 as Wetlands and
Subaqueous Lands. The on-site field investigation conducted on December 20, 2024, identified no wetlands or
watercourse within the project study limits.

accordance with the provisions of this section as a condition of approval for all one-family dwelling,
two-family dwelling and multiple-family dwelling residential developments requiring conditional use
approval, site development plan approval, or land subdivision approval by the City of Dover Planning
Commission.
10.1 Recreation areas.
10.11 Purpose. The purpose of this section is to ensure that active recreation areas are
provided as an integral design element within residential developments and that such facilities are
of an adequate scale in relation to the size of the residential development and which provide
residents with a variety of active recreational pursuits.

Recreation Area requirements.
3. Clarification of the walking trail system is recommended to identify which areas are
intended for golf course users versus the walking trail for the residents.
a. The walking trail system must include the appropriate accessibility
accommodations, crosswalks, signage, etc., especially at the points of intersection
with vehicular travel lanes.

Summary Report of Active Recreation Component
Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee Meeting on February 11, 2025
Page 4 of 5
4. The applicant should consider reallocating the 1,800 SF shown as a sand volleyball court
to an activity area more suitable for the 55+ age group, such as shuffleboard, bocci ball,
or pickleball. The developer is considering these alternatives.
5. The following items should be included on the Plan to clarify the construction of the
Recreation Area improvements:
a. Identify the length of proposed walking trail.
b. If benches or other amenities are proposed along the walking trail, a list of the
amenities should be provided on the Active Recreation Plan (i.e. the list of
amenities, the number of benches and the details of the items).
c. Identify locations of lighting.
6. Identify the location of bicycle parking facilities associated with the Apartment Building
and the general parking lot.
7. The applicant is reminded of the requirements for construction phasing of the recreation
area associated with the development of the residential units. With all residential units in
one building, the recreation amenities will have to be completed in conjunction with the
building’s construction and prior to issuance of a Final Certificate of Occupancy.
Article 5 §10.6 Construction Phasing. The recreation and open space areas shall be
completed in a proportion equal to or greater than the proportion of residential dwelling
units completed, except that one hundred (100) percent of the recreation and open space
areas shall be completed prior to issuing building permits for the final twenty (20) percent
of the dwelling units proposed. Building permits shall not be issued for dwelling units
unless the requirements of this section are met.
8. There shall be provisions which ensure that the common open space land (including
active recreation area) shall continue as such and be properly managed and maintained.
The developer shall either retain ownership and responsibility for maintenance of such
open land; or provide for and establish one (1) or more organizations for the ownership
and maintenance of all common open space i.e. a Homeowners Association. The
organization shall be responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes on the common
open space.
IV. ADVISORY COMMENTS

Then in 2023, a Revised Implementation Plan S-23-12 for the Residential District was reviewed
revising the Phase 4, 5 & 6 areas: to correct sizes of Lots 6, 7, 8, and 9 (Multi-family Lots); to
reconfigure Lot 10 (Multi-family) and adjacent alleys; to convert Lot 11 from Open Space to
Townhouse Lots; to consolidate lots (Lots 190-234, 327-338, Open Space) to create Signers Park
Open Space of 6.12 acres and to create a Multi-family Lot of 5.28 acres; to consolidate lots (Lots
434-450) to create Open Space of 2.18 acres adjacent to railroad corridor; to abandon certain
street and alley rights-of-way; to adjust alignment of Red Haven Way; to increase total unit
count from 665 to 725 dwelling units; and to revise phase line of Phases 5 and 6. This was
approved by the Planning Commission on June 20, 2023 and an associated Record Plan MI-24-
05 was approved and recorded in 2024.
The following report provides background on the Traditional Neighborhood Design process to
date for the Eden Hill Farm TND and as specifically related to the Residential District. The
Report then focuses on a review of the Revised Implementation Plan S-25-04 submission of
January 2025 for the Residential District. (*Plan Review of Revised Plan dated 1/3/2025).
II. Traditional Neighborhood Design Zone Process
The Zoning Ordinance, Article 3, Section 28 outlines the requirements for the Traditional
Neighborhood Design Zone (TND) including the development criteria and procedure. The first
step of the Traditional Neighborhood Design Zone is an application for rezoning to TND which
includes review of a Master Plan. The subject property Eden Hill Farm has achieved the zoning
classification of TND (Traditional Neighborhood Design) and approval of the General Overall
Master Plan. Next reviews of the Implementation Plans for each District of the TND for
compliance with the approved General Overall Master Plan occur. Then is review of
Administrative Site Plans for individual building development or Subdivision Plans for
recordation of lots. For the Residential District, there is an Implementation Plan in place, and it
has been previously amended.
TND (Traditional Neighborhood Design Zone)
The types of permitted uses with the Traditional Neighborhood Design Zone are outlined in Article
3 §28.5. Listed below are the uses which are allowed in the Residential District:

III. RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT SUMMARY
The Implementation Plan reviewed as SB-06-03 Eden Hill Farm TND: Residential District
Implementation Plan consisted of 665 dwelling units. The Plan Set for the Residential District
depicted the development and the associated elements such as the subdivision entrance access,
public street and alley network and street section design, pedestrian network, building sites,
parking areas, stormwater management, Active Recreation Area (parks and Community Center
building), open space and landscaping. As approved the development offered several housing
types including single family detached units in three styles: courtyard lots, carriage house lots,
and cottage lots; duplex units; townhouse units in four lot widths; and condominium units in two
types: 12-unit buildings and 24-unit buildings. The lot sizes were developed on a module system
which would allow for the mixing of unit types within a given street block. This Implementation
Plan for the Residential District received Planning Commission was approved on June 19, 2006
and Final Plan approvals on September 10, 2007 (Record Plan) and December 10, 2007
(Construction Plan). During 2008-2012, several revisions to the Residential District were made
affecting the Record Plan relating to lot revisions in the Phase 1 area including approvals for the
subdivision of five condominium lots into duplex and townhouse lots. The Record Plan (as
revised and recorded in 2012) shows the Residential District consisting of a total of 651
residential units.
A Residential District REVISED Implementation Plan S-15-07 which focused on revisions to
create areas of multi-family (apartment) unit development was granted conditional approval by
the Planning Commission on May 18, 2015 for a Revised Plan consisting of 742 residential units
(single family detached units, duplexes, townhouses, and multi-family units), the redesign open
space areas, a community center, and revised street layout. This Revised Implementation Plan
and its Revised Active Recreation Area Plan was not finalized.
The Revised Implementation Plan (S-19-25) for the Residential District to revise the Phase 2
areas which received Planning Commission approval January 21, 2020 and Final Record Plan
approval on January 17, 2023 (Record Plan). The 2019 Revised Implementation Plan expanded
the land area for the Phase 2 area; consolidated Lots 339-346 of single family units to create a
new clubhouse (South Clubhouse) and active recreation space; proposed creation of two (2)
Clubhouse Buildings (North Clubhouse) within the Active Open Space; and revised the dwelling
unit count to a total of 665 units while also making changes in the mix of unit types (number and
location). The mix of unit types continues to include single-family detached units, duplexes,
townhouse units, and multi-family (apartment) units. These Unit Types revisions include a
concept to build five (5) apartment buildings to contain 180 dwelling units on lots 6-10, while
using lot 11 as Open Space; and to change the unit types of lots along Alleys J, K, L, R, S and T
(in vicinity of the eastern portions of Ann Moore Street, Ridgely Boulevard, and Little Eden

Way) to achieve 665 total lots.
The adjustment to the lots was completed with Record Plan MI-21-06 as recorded in January
2023. An Administrative Site Plan S-23-11 was approved to detail the layout, design, and
amenities of the new South Clubhouse (Open Space) area known as the Skipton Community
Center.
S-23-12 Eden Hill Farm TND: Residential District – Revised Implementation Plan (Phases 4, 5
& 6 Areas: Lot Configuration, Open Space Areas & Unit Count) proposed revisions to the Plan
layout. This 2023 Revised Implementation Plan corrected the lot depth size of Lots 6, 7, 8, and 9
(Multi-Family Lots) to make each Lot the same size as they flank Alley E and Alley F. The
Revised Plan reconfigured Lot 10 (Multi-Family Lot) and the adjacent alleys (Alley M and Alley
N connecting to Banning Street) to alter the shape of the lot proposed for Multi-family
development. Its main revision was to Expand Open Space and to Create a New Multi-Family
Lot in the area of the Residential District bounded by Little Eden Way, Eden Hill Boulevard,
Skipton Boulevard, Red Haven Way, and railroad corridor. It consolidated a series of Single
Family Detached Unit Lots and Duplex Lots (Lots 190-234, 327-338) and Open Space to create
an expanded Signers Park Open Space to consist of 6.12 acres and to create a Multi-Family Lot
of 5.28 acres with the abandonment of certain street and alley rights-of-way within the block
area. It also adjusted the alignment of Red Haven Way to create an Open Space of 2.18 acres
adjacent to the railroad corridor (instead of lots for dwellings). With these changes in the planned
development, the phase line between Phase 5 and Phase 6 was also adjusted. This 2023 Revised
Implementation Plan authorized an increase dwelling units to a total of 725 units while also
increasing the amount of open space through the revisions to unit types and lot reconfigurations.
The proposed plan reduced the number of Single-family detached dwellings units and Duplex
units while increasing the number of Townhouse units and Multi-Family units.
The adjustment to the lots was completed with Record Plan MI-24-05 as recorded in 2024. An
Administrative Site Plan S-24-01 was approved for the development of Multi-Family units (144
Apartment units) on Lots 6, 7, 8, and 9. Another Administrative Site Plan S-24-02 was approved
for the Ridgely Boulevard Clubhouses detailing the development of two Clubhouse Buildings
and associated recreational amenities of a pool and game courts.
Comprehensive Development Standards Manual (Pattern Book)
As part of the Traditional Neighborhood Design process, the Implementation Comprehensive
Development Standards Manual (Pattern Book) consists of a written and graphic description of
the owner/developer’s proposed approach to each of the items listed in Zoning Ordinance,
Article 3 §28.84. The purpose of the Pattern Book is to set the standards and guidelines for the
design, construction, and maintenance of the land and buildings in the Residential District. Any
development within the Residential District must comply with the Pattern Book.
The Pattern Book sets the guidelines for development within the Traditional Neighborhood
Design project acting as a portion of the code requirements for development. The Pattern Book is
intended to present the ‘general character’ of the project with the images in the Pattern Book
giving examples of the precedents to aspire to and concepts and guidelines of the new buildings
to be constructed. The Pattern Book describes the architectural precedents for each housing type

in Section A: Introduction. Then the Pattern Book in Section C: Community Patterns: Residential
describes the concepts for each housing type. These pages establish the standards for the building
restriction lines and porch restriction lines thus creating the buildable area on each lot; garage
placement options of detached and attached garages with alley access, etc. (Note: The original
Master Plan Pattern Book includes pages describing neighborhood areas; the areas have since
been revised due to changes in the Residential District layout and street network layout
completed at the time of the Implementation Plan. The full text of the Pattern Book describing
these areas was not updated during the plan review process.) The Pattern Book in Section D:
Architectural Patterns (pages 63-71) describes the various design elements for the Residential
District, specifically elements including Windows & Doors, Dormers & Bay Windows, Porches,
Materials, and Accessory Structures. For each specific element, the Required, Encouraged, and
Prohibited elements are given.
The Pattern Book describes the concepts for each residential unit type. These pages establish the
standards for the building restriction lines, and porch restriction lines thus creating the buildable
area on each lot; garage placement options of detached and attached garages with alley access,
etc.
The approved Final Pattern Book for the Eden Hill Farm Residential District consists of the
Eden Hill Farm Pattern Book 1st Edition 5/6/2005 with Addendum I of 6/9/2005 and Addendum
II of 5/5/2006; and by reference the Townhouse Lot Revisions of March 7, 2008 (Addendum III:
townhouse unit lot widths), Revised page 40 (Addendum IV: Duplex Building Restriction Line
revisions) of May 21, 2009, the Duplex Lot Revisions as approved by the Planning Commission
on November 15, 2010 (Addendum V), and Interpretation of Setbacks for Townhouse units by
Planning Commission on February 22, 2011. An Addendum page (Addendum VI) focused on
the Multi-family Buildings was reviewed with S-23-12 focusing on building setbacks, the
parking rate, and providing some architectural and plan layouts for the multi-family units.
After consideration of multiple revisions to the Pattern Book, Planning Staff and the Planning
Commission have suggested that a Final version of the Final Pattern Book for the Residential
District be prepared. The complete Eden Hill Farm: Pattern Book and Addendums submitted to
date are on file at the Department of Planning and Inspections.
Construction Activity in Residential District
In the initial construction (Phase 1) of the Residential District, a total of 83 dwellings were
completed with the predominate house type being Townhouse units on 20 foot wide lots as three
story units with attached (included) garage and a two story unit with a detached garage. In Phase
1, the Townhouse units have been constructed in groups: one set of three units, 10 sets of six
units, and 2 sets of seven units. Three sets of Duplex units (total 6 units) were also constructed.
A portion of the street network in the Phase 1 area has been completed and dedicated to the City
of Dover. These streets include Lloyd Street, Wemyss Road, and certain portions of the streets
named South Greenberry Lane, Ruth Way, Ann Moore Street, and Ridgely Boulevard.
The Eden Hill Farm TND construction activity resumed in 2021 beginning with three sets of
Duplex units and a Townhouse set of six units north of Ridgely Boulevard near Ruth Way. The
construction activity (2022-2023) focused on the Phase 2 area to the south of Ridgely Boulevard

along Ruth Way on Little Eden Way with three different home builders. Along the extension of
Ridgely Boulevard to the east and north are Townhouse units and the beginnings of a section of
Duplex units. In the last few years, construction has included Townhouse units, Duplex units,
and Single family detached dwellings (Courtyard Lots) with over 242 dwellings unit complete.
The first Multi-Family Apartment buildings (total of 36 units) are now under construction to the
north of Ann Moore Street. The road network of streets and alleys in these areas remain as
basecoat and have not been fully completed to allow for dedication to the City as of yet.
IV. REVISED Implementation Plan 2025 for Residential District, S-25-01 (Revision –
Concept Plan dated 1/3/2025):
This application is for the Review of S-25-04 Eden Hill Farm TND: Residential District –
Revised Implementation Plan (Phases 1, 2, 4, 5 & 6 Areas: Lot Configuration, Open Space
Areas, Right-of-Ways & Unit Count). This proposed plan is presented in three plan sheets of the
Residential District (Plan Review of Revised Plan dated 1/3/2025). The overall plan for the
Revised Residential District depicts the development areas for specific types of residential units
and the associated elements such as the street network, on-street parking areas, stormwater
management (pond locations), Clubhouse locations, open space areas, and a series of smaller
park areas.
The following are the revisions to the Plan layout with the Residential District proposed by
this 2025 Revised Implementation Plan. The revisions focus on three areas of the
development.
Northern Clubhouse Area:
• Subdivision of Clubhouses Lot: The Revised Plan proposes the subdivision of the
Community Center/Clubhouse block to place each Clubhouse Building on an individual
lot.
North Multi-Family (Apartments) Area:
• Reconfiguration of Lot 10 and Lot 11 Area: The Revised Plan reconfigures Lot 10 and
Lot 11 (Multi-Family Lots) and the adjacent alleys to alter the shape of the lot proposed
for Multi-family development and placement of the buildings and associated parking lots.
Alley M and Alley N are adjusted in their placement but still connect to Banning Street.
The details for development of these Multi-Family Lots are the subject of the
Administrative Site Plan recently filed for review.
Large Open Space Area and with Multi-Family (Apartments) Area (central east area):
• Expand Open Space and Reconfiguration of Multi-Family Lot: The area of the
Residential District bounded by Little Eden Way, Eden Hill Boulevard, Skipton
Boulevard, Red Haven Way, and railroad corridor is the area of most significant change.
It proposes to consolidate a series of Single Family Detached Unit Lots along Eden Hill
Boulevard to again expand Signers Park Open Space to consist of over 9 acres and add
additional recreational amenities of a dog park, pickleball courts, and children’s
playground. This will also require the abandonment of certain street rights-of-way
(portions of Bond Street and Eden Hill Boulevard) within the block area. In the same

Page 12 of 20
general area, the plan is to reconfigure the Multi-Family Lot and to adjust the alignment
of Red Haven Way to create a development area for parking adjacent to the State-owned
buffer area and railroad corridor (instead of lots for dwellings).
• Increase Dwelling Unit Count: An overall dwelling unit count was established at 665
units for the Residential District of the Eden Hill Farm TND in 2005-2006. However,
over the years the unit count for revisions to the plan ranged from a planned/platted total
of 651 units to an approved proposal for 742 units (never finalized). Currently, the
Record Plan approved is for a total of 725 units and platted for 721 units. This 2025
Revised Implementation Plan proposes an increase to a total of 753 units. It adds a 40-
unit multi-family building while also increasing the amount of open space through the
revisions to unit types and lot reconfigurations/eliminations.
• Revise Phases 5 and 6 Areas: With the changes in the planned development, the phase
line between Phase 5 and Phase 6 will also be adjusted. It is noted that construction
activity will be limited to a disturbance area of 20 acres related to sequencing of the
Sediment & Stormwater Management Plan.
• Change in Mix of Unit Types (Number and Location): The Residential District offers a
variety of unit types: single family detached units, duplexes, townhouses, and multi-
family units. This Revised Plan proposes changes to the number and location of the
various residential unit types. See the chart below for the tallies of the various unit types.
The chart summarizes the mix of unit types for the Residential District as approved and
as currently proposed in the submitted Concept for the 2025 Revised Implementation
Plan (of 1/3/2025).

The Residential District area has existing key entry points to the nearby street network from the
Wemyss Road, Ridgely Boulevard, and Horsey Boulevard as connections are made to the POW-
MIA Parkway. This Revised Plan makes no changes to those existing connections and also
continues to show the proposed connection to Banning Street at the northeast corner of the
Residential District. This connection has not been constructed.
Lighting
The street lighting will be required along the streets and also within parking lot areas of the
Multi-Family Lots when developed.
Dumpster
For the one family dwelling units (single family detached units, duplexes, and townhouses) the
standards residential collection will occur as part of the City systems with trash receptacles and
recycling bins. For mufti-family units (apartments), two Dumpsters are required for first 48
apartment units with one Dumpster for each additional 24 units. The design and placement
location of Dumpster accommodating both trash and recycling collection will be reviewed with
the Administrative Site Plans for the Multi-Family Lot development.
Sidewalk
Sidewalk is required along all City street frontages and within the site in accordance with Zoning
Ordinance, Article 5 §18. In addition, sidewalks will connect from the street frontage sidewalk
into the site and/or for pedestrian access from parking areas to building entrances. The original
Implementation Plan also included a multi-use path/trail system around the perimeter of the
development starting along the POW-MIA Parkway frontage and looping south through the
State-owned parcel in the buffer area from the railroad corridor. No construction has occurred for
the implementation of this multi-use path/trail.
VI. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN
The Revised Implementation Plan is required to meet the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance for
Landscape Guidelines and Tree Planting and Preservation (Article 5 §11 and 15) at a minimum.
The Residential District area does not include existing woodland areas. The area subject to the
Tree Density requirements equals 109.2049 acres. Therefore, the project will require a minimum
of 1,585 trees to meet the Tree Density requirements. The current Construction Plan (SB-07-01)
shows new tree plantings as a mix of deciduous, evergreen, and ornamental trees. The trees are

Configuration, Open Space Areas, Right-of-Way & Unit Count)
DAC Report of February 5, 2025
Page 14 of 20
proposed as street trees, within park and open spaces area, and as part of individual residential lots.
A Revised Landscape Plan was not submitted. The Landscape Plan will need to be updated related
to the revised lot layouts, Clubhouses, and Open space area designs. The Pattern Book also
describes planting requirements for certain lot types.
VII. OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION AREAS
The Zoning Ordinance requires an Open Space and Active Recreation Plan for all residential
developments, projects and plans that come before the Planning Commission (Dover Code of
Ordinances, Appendix B, Article 5 §10). As changes are proposed to the Open Space and Active
Recreation, a Revised Plan detailing the layout, design, and amenities of the Open Space areas
must be submitted for review.
The overall Eden Hill Farm TND exceeds the minimum of 25% open space by creating a
community walking trail area, parks, and greens throughout the site. A large open space/potential
park area to the southwest of the site (on the west side of the POW-MIA Parkway) is State
owned land. The existing historic house of Eden Hill Farm and its tree allees (entrance drives)
are preserved within a large public open space area.
Focusing on the Residential District area, based on the approved number of residential dwelling
units at 665 units, this subdivision was to provide 4.1 acres +/- (182,875 S.F.) of Open Space
designed to function as Active Recreation Area. The key components of this active recreation
area were originally approved as a Community Center building with pool, the larger park area
known as Signers Park, a walking trail system, and over 2.2 acres of land in a series of ‘pocket
parks’ throughout the community. Three “pocket parks” with known as Ann Moore Park with
others on Ruth Way and Ridgely Boulevard that have been constructed. There are other “pocket
parks” areas are pending construction as they are located in the areas where home construction is
occurring. The 2019 Revised Implementation Plan increased the amount of open space in the
Residential District with changes to the key elements of the Open Space/Recreation Plan and the
amount of land reserved as open space. With the 2019 Plan, the most significant changes are that
the Community Center site is to become two Clubhouse Buildings (North Clubhouses) and an
additional Clubhouse building (South Clubhouse) is added in the southern portion of the site.
The Clubhouses at both locations have been approved with Administrative Site Plans (S-23-11
and S-24-02); the two North Clubhouse are under construction and almost complete.
The 2023 Revised Implementation Plan significantly expanded the Signers Park Open Space to
consist of 6.12 acres along with another area of Open Space near the railroad corridor, This
change included area where several smaller “pocket parks” were proposed but the plans for
Clubhouse buildings and other “pocket parks” remained in place.
With the increase in the number of residential dwelling units to 753 units, this subdivision is to
provide 4.75 acres +/- (207,075 S.F.) of Open Space designed to function as an Active
Recreation Area. This Revised Plan expands the Signers Park Open Space to the west and adds
several amenities beyond the open lawn area. These amenities include a dog park, children’s
playground, and pickleball courts.

X. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET
CODE OBJECTIVES:
In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §28 and Article 10 §2.2, the Planning
Commission in considering and acting upon Plans for Traditional Neighborhood Design projects
may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards so that the public health, safety, and
welfare, the comfort and convenience of the public in general, and the residents of the immediate
neighborhood in particular shall be taken into consideration. These safeguards may to the
maximum extent possible further the expressed intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the
accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed in subsections 2.21 to 2.28.
1) The proposed revisions shown in the 2025 Revised Implementation Plan (Plan of 1/3/25) for
the Residential District are to be evaluated for compliance with the intent of the Eden Hill
Master Plan. The Staff recommendation on each is listed below:
a) Northern Clubhouse Area Lot: Staff recommends approval of the subdivision of the
North Clubhouse Lot (currently under development with S-24-02). The appropriate cross
access easements for access and utilities and maintenance of the shared landscaping and
parking lot must be identified.
b) North Multi-Family (Apartments) Area - Reconfiguration of Lot 10 and Lot 11 Areas:
Planning Staff recommends approval of the reconfiguration of Lots 10 and 11 (Multi-
Family Lots) and the adjacent alleys to alter the shape of the lots proposed for Multi-
family development and associated parking areas. This will be subject to additional
review with an Administrative Site Plan submission.
Large Open Space Area and with Multi-Family (Apartments) Area (central east area):
c) Expand Open Space and Reconfiguration of Multi-Family Lot: Planning Staff
recommends approval of the redesign of the area of the Residential District bounded by
Little Eden Way, Alley W, Skipton Boulevard, Red Haven Way, and railroad corridor.
The additional consolidation of Lots and Open Space to create an expanded Signers Park
Open Space enlarges the Open Space area to include designated amenities for residents’

use.
Staff also recommends approval of the realignment of Red Haven Way to create a
potential parking area for the adjacent Multi-Family (Apartment) Buildings. This will
serve as an increased buffer from the railroad corridor activities in this area. The intended
format of Red Haven Way must be clarified as a public street (right-of-way).
d) Revise Phases 5 and 6 Areas: Staff recognizes the revision to the phase line between
Phase 5 and Phase 6.
e) Increase Dwelling Unit Count: Staff is supportive of the increase in the overall dwelling
unit count to 753 units since it retains a mix of dwelling unit types and increases the
amount of Open Space. The unit count increases from the 665 units originally established
for the Residential District. Eden Hill Farm TND is an area of infill development near the
central core of the City’s urbanized area with access to utility and multi-modal
transportation infrastructure where higher density is encouraged.
f) Change in Mix of Unit Types (Number and Location): Staff recognizes the change in the
mix of unit types that is proposed. The specific unit type changes proposed in this 2025
Revised Plan to have a similar balance and percentage of unit types in the Residential
District but increases the percentage of higher density units while also increasing the
amount of Open Space areas. Even with the increase in the number of townhouses and
multi-family (apartment) units, the overall development contains a variety of housing
types and lot sizes.
2) Banning Street Construction: With the proposed development of the eastern portion of the
Eden Hill Farm TND, the construction and completion of the continuation of Banning Street
to the south to make the connection from the Professional Office, Medical & Financial
District to the Residential District. Its construction must be a priority as it is part of the
overall circulation system for the Eden Hill Farm TND.
3) Multi-Use Perimeter Path and Landscaping: The original Landscape Plan and Open
Space/Recreation Area Plan includes a multi-use perimeter walking trail system in the buffer
area that wraps the western, southern, and eastern sides of the Residential District. This area
also includes a significant number of tree plantings. To date this has not been implemented, a
specific plan for its construction/planting must be outlined.
4) The following are a series of key concepts emphasized for the development of Residential
Units. Most of these concepts are further detailed in the Pattern Book (and approved
addendums). Planning Staff offers these as reminder of the general character and intent of the
Traditional Neighborhood Design.
a. Staff recommends that all lots with access to an alley be required to take vehicular access only from the
alley no matter what the unit type. This access pattern was clearly established in the intent of the
Traditional Neighborhood Design concept and the Residential District Implementation Plan.
b. Corner lots are considered to have two street front facades and are important visual elements. The building
design should take advantage of the corner opportunity for design elements (architecture, detailing, and
materials) to highlight the corner or end of building.
c. Staff recommends the increased use of porches or enhanced covered entries for main entrances on the front

Page 19 of 20
elevations and/or side elevations of the residential units. All lots have a designated porch restriction line
that allows this element to be closer to the street than the other portions of the building. Porches are key
elements of the precedents for the District and encourage interaction.
d. Staff encourages variation in the house architectural style and design, color, materials, and detailing to
detail to create the variations seem in the traditional residential areas of the City and to avoid uniformity of
design.
e. The multiple unit buildings and multi-family buildings should read as “one grand house.” The selection of
elevations, exterior finishes, door placement of front and side entries, etc. play a role in how a combination
of units is viewed.
f. Staff supports the methods for garage placement on properties which places the garage in a secondary
position where front access to the lot is required by the lot and street layout.
g. This TND Plan encourages walkability for pedestrians in a variety of formats to be constructed.
5) Pattern Book: The Pattern Book for the Residential District consists of the Original Pattern
Book and a series of Addendums as approved and amended to date. Currently, Staff must
complete compliance review by accessing multiple documents. It is very complex as the
development has progressed, involves multiple developers/builders, etc. Staff can make
recommendations to develop a Pattern Book resource as a final edition document (i.e.
specific pages from the Master Plan Pattern Book and the associated addendums) for the
Residential District.
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.
XI. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:

construction of streets, the developer shall coordinate the required street light placement
and electric utility routing and equipment with the City of Dover Electric Department and
in accordance with the Pattern Book.
8) The applicant shall be aware that Revised Implementation Plan approval does not
represent a Building Permit, Sign Permits and associated construction activity permits. A
separate application process is required for the issuance of a Building Permit fand related
permits from the City of Dover.
9) The construction of each dwelling unit/building will be reviewed by Staff for compliance
with the approved Pattern Book and Addendum through the Building Permit process.

1. Final site plan approval will not be granted until a copy of the approved Stormwater/Erosion and Sediment Control Plan from
Kent Conservation District / DNREC is submitted to our office.
2. The size, length, slope, type and flow directions must be shown on all existing and proposed storm sewer lines. Rim and invert
elevations must be labeled on all stormwater structures.
3. Depending on the layout of the future stormwater infrastructure, easements may be required with the City of Dover.
STREETS
1. Final site plan approval will not be granted until a copy of the approved entrance plan, signed by DelDOT is submitted to our
office.
2. The current City of Dover standard street section provides for a 3’ grass strip between the curb and sidewalk. This standard was
administratively revised to meet ADA and FHA compliance with cross slope requirements and to prevent cars from scrapping at
driveways. The revised standard utilizes a five feet (5’) wide public sidewalk with a five feet (5’) wide grass strip behind the
curb.
3. The future plans will require the following notes be added to the plan:
a. Standard City of Dover sidewalk, as per chapter 98, article IV of the Dover Code of Ordinances, shall be required to be
installed along the entire public street frontage of a property. Where frontage sidewalk exists but does not meet the
standards of chapter 98, article IV, the sidewalk shall be re-laid to meet the standards. Sidewalk shall include barrier-free
access ramping at points of intersection with street crossings and at other locations so as to afford reasonable barrier-free
pedestrian movement and site access.
b. In accordance to Appendix A, Article VI, Section B.3, all sidewalks shall ascend from the curbstone to the building line at the
ratio of one-quarter of an inch to the foot. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect any pavement previously laid
by order of the city council, until it is taken up and relaid.
WATER
1. All water utility components must meet the requirements of the Water Wastewater Handbook, effective date March 22, 2010.
Please contact our office for more information.
2. The following notes must be added to the plans:
a. Hydrant connections by the contractor are prohibited. This method may not be utilized during any phase of the project.

c. The site contractor shall contact the City of Dover Department of Water & Wastewater Construction Manager at (302) 736-
7025 prior to the start of construction. A representative from the City of Dover Department of Water & Wastewater must
observe and approve all City owned water and sanitary sewer interconnections and testing. All water taps must be performed
by a City of Dover approved contractor. The proposed location for the water connection may need to be adjusted in the field
due to conditions of the existing main. Possible conditions that would require tapping relocation include proximity to pipe
joints, other taps, concrete encasements, conflict with other utilities, and the like. Test holes must be performed by the
contractor to determine the best tapping location. The City of Dover will not be held responsible for field conditions requiring
adjustment of the tapping location or for any work required by the contractor to make an appropriate and lawful connection.
3. The size, type, and location of all proposed and existing water lines and valves must be shown on the plan.
4. Water usage projections (peak demand or plumbing fixtures) must be submitted to our office to correctly determine the size of
the domestic and irrigation (if applicable) water meter for the proposed building. These projections must be submitted prior to
approval so the meter size can be placed on the final site plan. The proposed water meter must be installed in a pit per City of
Dover requirements and manufacturer’s recommendations. Also, a dual check valve is required downstream of the meter.
5. The domestic service, fire main connection and valves must be clearly shown for each building. A valve must be installed at the
tee to isolate combined fire and domestic water service to the building from the water loop. Typically, this valve is installed at
the tee or an acceptable distance from the building. A valve must be provided on the domestic water service, which must be
tapped off of the combined eight-inch (8”) fire/domestic service outside of the building. The domestic water tap and valve should

be as close to the building as possible. Typically, the domestic tap and valve are located within five feet (5’) to ten feet (10’) of
the building. A blow up detail of this layout is recommended.
6. Provide a construction detail for the proposed restraining system for the fire main located within the buildings. The Department
of Public Works will test and inspect all fire mains to a blind flange located inside the buildings. The blind flange with tap is used
for hydrostatic pressure testing (200 psi for two (2) hours) and dechlorination. The flange must be restrained in the direction of
the pipe entering the facility. A pipe entering horizontally through a wall sleeve shall be restrained with rods through the wall. A
pipe entering vertically through a slab shall be restrained through the floor to the ninety degree (90 ) bend and thrust block. All
rods shall be a minimum of ¾” all thread. All pipes through walls and slabs must be Class 52 cement lined ductile iron pipe.

backflow prevention assemblies on water service connections to the city’s distribution system. This project may require a double
check valve assembly to be installed downstream of the water meter in the building.
9. Depending on the layout of the future water mains, easements may be required with the City of Dover.
10. The City of Dover water system is available to this site. The developer is responsible for all costs associated with extending and
providing service to the proposed development.
11. Prior to plan approval, the water system plans must be submitted to the Division of Public Health, Office of Drinking Water for
review and approval. The owner/developer will be responsible for providing all completed forms and plan sets to the City of
Dover as required for submission to the Office of Drinking Water. Plans will not be submitted to the Office of Drinking Water until
review has been completed by our office.
12. Hydrant flow testing is currently only performed during the spring and fall. The applicant must call the Department of Water &
Wastewater directly to schedule these tests. This applies to both existing hydrants as well as those proposed for the site.
13. Water impact fees may be required to be paid prior to Certificate of Occupancy for this project.
WASTEWATER

S-25-04 Eden Hill Farm TND: Residential District – Revised Implementation Plan (Phases
1, 2, 4, 5 & 6 Areas: Lot Configuration, Open Space Areas, Right-of-Ways & Unit Count)
Dover Kent MPO has no major objections to the site development plan. Sidewalks are present in
the developed portion of the Eden Hill Farm neighborhood, and these will be extended as further
construction takes place. Open space which could be used for recreation is included in the
updated plan as well. Other transportation issues have previously been addressed through the site
plan review process.
Note that within the current plan, additional housing is not planned for the southeastern parcel
along the railroad tracks. Dover Kent MPO cautions against building residential units adjacent to
railroad tracks, as this can lead to conflicts such as noise pollution, vibrations caused by passing
trains, and safety concerns. If more information is needed on this topic, please contact the MPO.
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.
