CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 23, 2020 PAGE 2 Evaluation of Bids - SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) Equipment Technology Upgrade (Actionable Item) Mr. Jason Lyon, Water and Wastewater Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for SCADA Equipment Technology Upgrade. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Freemire & Associates, Inc. for the SCADA Equipment Technology Upgrade, ITB #21-0009WW, for the amount of $197,118. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Staff's recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved to award the contract to Freemire & Associates, Inc. for the SCADA Equipment Technology Upgrade, ITB #21-0009WW, for the amount of $197,118, as recommended by the Committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Evaluation of Proposals - College Road Pump Station Upgrade Engineering Design Support (Actionable Item) Mr. Jason Lyon, Water and Wastewater Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of proposals for the College Road Pump Station Upgrade Engineering Design Support. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Remington & Vernick Engineers for the College Road Pump Station Upgrade Engineering Design, RFP #21-0010WW, for the amount of $17,523. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Lyon stated that the poly-triplex liner is like a sock slipped into the manhole. He advised that they have dealt with inflow and infiltration issues consistently throughout the City and that the poly-triplex liner provides a barrier for any groundwater infiltration. Mr. Lyon noted that it was a preventative maintenance measure to reduce the amount of water being treated by the County unnecessarily. Mr. Taylor expressed his concerns regarding the proposal price and COVID-19. Mr. Lyon stated that they spoke with Remington & Vernick Engineers and he felt confident with the proposal, which is just to create the bid documents and the specifications, not for the construction phase. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lyon stated that they have a contract length of 120 days from notice to proceed. He noted a caveat with all the COVID-19 situations and that they may have to do things virtually, so the end of March was the game plan. Mr. Lyon noted that they budgeted the actual construction phase to be scheduled in fiscal year 2023.

Page 7

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 23, 2020 PAGE 3 Mr. Rocha stated that he shared the same concerns as Mr. Taylor and asked what made Mr. Lyon feel confident that Remington and Vernick Engineering could do the work. Responding, Mr. Lyon stated that when they submitted the proposal it came with a statement of understanding, statement of qualifications, references and provided other similar projects that they had done in the past. Mr. Lyon noted that another aspect of the process was there was a question and answer phase of the proposal and each proposer of the five engineering firms had to sign off and say that they have accepted all the specifications and read and understood the addendum. Mr. Neil moved to recommend awarding the contract to Remington & Vernick Engineers for the College Road Pump Station Upgrade Engineering Design, RFP #21-0010WW, for the amount of $17,523, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Water Treatment Plant Process Improvement Project – Construction Support Services Fees – Change Order (Actionable Item) Mr. Jason Lyon, Water and Wastewater Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Water Treatment Plant Process Improvement Project – Construction Support Services Fees – Change Order. Staff recommended approval of the proposed amendment to the construction support services by Duffield Associates, in the amount of $39,000. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding a new time frame and the cost, Mr. Lyon stated they have not received anything in writing from the contractor and that they would be onsite the week of November 16, 2020 to complete the punch list items and the programming issues that have arisen since the plan had received substantial completion. Mr. Lyon noted that they anticipated that they would finish that up the week of November 16, 2020 and then they would go into a conditional acceptance for 30 days. Mr. Lyon advised that if anything went wrong in those 30 days, the contractor would have to come back and fix it with no questions asked, which would bring them into mid-December. Mr. Lyon noted that he did not have it in writing. Regarding the amount of money that was provided in that estimate, Mr. Lyon stated that he did have in writing from Duffield that their estimate for $39,000 would go through the end of October and that it was very conservative. He noted that they felt that $39,000 was an ample amount to finish their aspect of the project. Mr. Lyon stated that he had reviewed their work logs and confirmed that. He noted that although the committee action form and attachment indicated October 30, 2020, he does have it in writing that they feel confident that they can run this out even past December if they need to.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 23, 2020 PAGE 4 Mr. Anderson moved to recommend approval of the proposed amendment to the construction support services by Duffield Associates, in the amount of $39,000, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:29 p.m. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Proposed Revision to the Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement (Informational Item) Mr. Matthew Harline, Acting City Manager, reviewed the proposed revisions to the Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement. Mr. Brian Sylvester, Library Director, stated that all four of the municipalities were reviewing the proposal and if there was any feedback that Committee or Council members would like for him to bring back to the next meeting of the library directors on November 17, 2020, he would be happy to take that to the directors. Responding to Mr. Sudler regarding negative components, Mr. Sylvester stated that when there is a surplus balance in the account, the County would distribute it five ways, not just to the four member libraries in the agreement, but also to the Kent County Library. He advised that under the proposal, the Kent County library would not receive any funding even when there is a surplus. Mr. Sylvester stated that from the County's perspective that could be considered a downside, but as far as the four member libraries, this would result in increased funding and a more stable funding source because they would not have that surplus that built up. Mr. Harline noted that the possible downside would be that the County could say no. He stated that it requires a legislative change at the County level.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 23, 2020 PAGE 5 Responding to Col. Dix, Mr. Sylvester stated the calculation is based on circulation, an item physically being checked out. He advised that under the current agreement, each of those transactions was valued at $2.65. Mr. Sylvester stated that he was proposing to use those same numbers, but instead of linking it to the actual physical number of times a book has changed hands, they were looking at the percentage of the total. Responding to Col. Dix, Mr. Harline stated they have a budget to order books. He advised that a lot of the money goes directly towards materials, including materials that are not books. He noted that they use very little City money for materials that are not actual hard books. Mr. Neil moved to endorse the proposed revisions of the Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement, seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:41 p.m. Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:41 p.m. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole Report, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. DOVER POLICE DEPARTMENT - CIP PROJECT: POLICE STATION COMPUTER WIRING UPGRADE (PD2104) Mr. Matt Harline, Acting City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis for the police station computer wiring upgrade project. He advised that although the competitive purchasing process was technically not followed, it was his belief that it met the spirit of the ordinance and the purchasing policy. Mr. Harline also noted that this item was being heard by City Council rather than the Committee due to the timing of the project. He stated that the dispatch center is currently under repair through another budgeted project and the wiring can be done in two or three days without an additional interruption in the dispatch center and while they are operating out of KentCom. Mr. Hare, noting that the project was approved at $175,000 and the bid was for $122,000, asked why it needed Council approval. Responding, Mr. Slavin advised that the budget process sets the overall budgeted amount for the project, but the rules still apply to every department on how they spend their money and what the thresholds are for purchasing. He noted that he thought they were fine to

Page 10

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 23, 2020 PAGE 6 approve this item because it met the spirit of what they have laid out as a city, as every department, but cautioned that it also puts them on a slippery slope of saying if we can just find some savings, it is easier for us. Mr. Slavin noted that all departments should be careful about how they expend public funds and how they apply their own rules to their own operations. He advised that if all the financial oversight that Council gives is on a vote at the outset of the fiscal year for a budget they would be in a lot of trouble because they will have approved projects that are worth millions of dollars and as long as they come in at budget then they do not have to go out to bid, which he would not support. Mr. Anderson stated that he concurred with Mr. Slavin and that he would normally have concerns about this amount of money and the review process; however, he would support it because of precedent when it comes to a failure or emergency situation in a critical area, such as failing pipes under the roadway. Additionally, Mr. Anderson noted that they were utilizing a vendor from the State contract and saving money by combining the work of two projects. Mr. Taylor asked if the upgrade to the system would make everything compatible or if the department would be coming back the first of the year for more money for another upgrade. Responding, Mr. Chris Menge, Network Analyst, stated that there were plans to replace or upgrade all the wiring in the building, noting that the structured cabling that they are replacing was designed to last anywhere between 10 and 20 years and it is at least 10 years old and is low quality. He advised that they do plan to spend approximately $30,000 to $40,000 more of the budgeted money on equipment upgrades that are also in the scope of this project. Mr. Menge stated that this initial $122,000 is phase one, which will cover most if not all of the contractor-worked scope of the project. He noted that everything that they have planned to replace is expected to last for 15 to 20 years. Mr. Lindell stated that bringing this item directly to City Council, in the interest of time, was the best course of action since they do have policies in place and they want to make sure the policies are being followed, regardless of which department is seeking that request. He noted that he believed the request was valid and that they need to follow the process. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Assurance Media, LLC in the amount of $122,654.22. Although they were not the lowest cost option, they are a minority business and their price is only 1.1% over the lower proposal, which is well within the 3% allowed for minority vendor preference by the City of Dover Purchasing Policy. Mr. Anderson moved for approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. ACTING CITY MANAGER'S ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Matt Harline, Acting City Manager, reminded everyone of the very subdued tree lighting ceremony, along with First Friday. He noted that First Friday would be taking place downtown on December 4, 2020, but with extended hours. Mr. Harline urged everyone to observe the most cautious coronarius protocols. Mr. Harline noted that, due to Thanksgiving, there would be no trash or recycling service on Thursday or Friday and that it would resume on Monday.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 23, 2020 PAGE 7 Mr. Harline advised that, due to COVID-19, most City offices are closed, and he plans to review the policy and continue split staffing until the end of January due to the likelihood of a lot more cases. He noted that all possible City services would be available. COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Hare wished Mr. Neil a happy birthday on Thursday. Mr. Lindell thanked their former colleague, Councilman Scott Cole, for his service on the City Council and noted that he would be sorely missed. Mr. Sudler concurred with Councilman Lindell and wished Councilman Scott Cole nothing but the best in all his future endeavors. Mr. Taylor wished everybody a happy and safe Thanksgiving and asked that everyone abide by all COVID-19 protocols. Mr. Anderson wished everyone a happy Thanksgiving and a happy birthday to Councilman Neil. He also offered best wishes for the future for Councilman Cole and his wife. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m. TRACI A.

PETITION TO AMEND ZONING DISTRICT Public Hearing before the Dover City Council December 14, 2020 Recommendation from Planning Commission Meeting of November 16, 2020 with Staff and Development Advisory Committee Review Owner: National Council on Agricultural Life & Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL) Address: 35 and 39 N. New Street, Dover Location: Southeast corner of Fulton Street and N. New Street Tax Parcels: ED-05-076.08-05-39.00-000 and ED-05-076.08-05-40.00-000 Size: 35 N. New Street = 5,952 SF. +/- 39 N. New Street = 3,877 SF. +/- Present Use: Vacant lots Proposed Use: One-Family Detached Dwelling Units (Single-Family Home) per lot Comprehensive Plan Designation: Mixed-Use Present Zoning: RG-3 (Group Housing Zone) Proposed Zoning: RG-1 (General Residence Zone) Reason for Request: To construct a single-family dwelling with reduced setbacks. File Number: Z-20-02 Ordinance Number: 2020-15 Planning Commission Recommendation: The Application of Rezoning was represented by the property owner’s Staff and a Board Member. A Public Hearing was held on November 16, 2020 where the Staff Member spoke and email correspondence from a member of the public was received noting support of the rezoning application. The Planning Commission moved by vote of 9-0 to recommend in favor of the proposed rezoning from RG-3 to RG-1. (Draft Meeting Minutes attached.)

Page 13

Z-20-01 Lands of NCALL at 35 and 39 N New St Report to City Council: Planning Commission Recommendation of November 16, 2020 Page 2 Overview: This rezoning application for two adjacent parcels of land consisting of 5,952 SF +/- and 3,877 SF +/-. The properties are zoned RG-3 (Group Housing Zone). The proposed zoning is RG-1 (General Residence Zone). The properties are located at the southeast corner of North New Street and Fulton Street on the east side of N. New Street. The owner of record is National Council on Agricultural Life & Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL). Property Addresses: 35 and 39 North New Street. Tax Parcels: ED-05-076.08-05-39.00-000 and ED-05-076.08-05-40.00-000. Existing Property: The properties both have frontage along North New Street to the west, while the property addressed as 39 North New Street as a corner lot also has frontage on Fulton Street to the north. Both properties are currently vacant, having each previously contained one-family detached dwellings (single family homes). The property addressed as 35 North New Street has access off of a rear alley (running parallel to North New Street). Yet 39 North New Street (located on the corner of North New Street and Fulton Street) does not have access to the rear alley. There is a sidewalk along both North New Street and Fulton Street. The applicant is seeking rezoning to RG-1 (General Residence Zone) to allow the redevelopment of the lots. In particular, 39 North New Street is a relatively small parcel making development more difficult. The RG-1 Zone allows a developer to request administrative waivers from the bulk standards when the lot is otherwise small enough to make development with the minimum bulk standards impractical. The RG-3 zone does not have such options for waiver requests. Previous Activities The properties were together previously subject to Rezoning Application Z-15-03 which rezoned the properties from the RG-1 to RG-3. The properties applicant had sought a rezoning to RG-3 to allow for the development of townhouses, which were not then permitted in the RG-1 Zone. This application was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission in July 2015 and approved by the City Council in August 2015. The subject area was then subject to Application V-18-01 for an Area Variance to permit a reduction in the minimum required setbacks for a townhouse in the RG-3 zone. The applicants had proposed to re-subdivide the parcels into three (3) new parcels, each with frontage on Fulton Street. The Application was approved by the Board of Adjustment in March 2018. Finally, both properties were subject to a Minor Subdivision and Site Development Plan SB-18- 03 for the actual development of the newly proposed three (3) parcels into three (3) townhouses with associated site improvements. This application received conditional approval by the Planning Commission in August 2018; however Final Plan Approval was not achieved, and the plan has expired. Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding parcels to the east, south and west are all zoned RG-1 (General Residence Zone) and are residential in nature, containing primarily one-family detached dwelling units (single-family homes). These properties, like the subject properties, have a Land Use Category designation of Mixed Use. Across Fulton Street to the north are the tennis courts for Wesley College which are zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) and have a Land Use Category of Institutional.

Z-20-01 Lands of NCALL at 35 and 39 N New St Report to City Council: Planning Commission Recommendation of November 16, 2020 Page 3 Comprehensive Plan: In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1) recommends these properties be used for Mixed Use. The 2019 Comprehensive Plan references Mixed Use Areas on page 12-7 and encourages neighborhoods. The following is an excerpt from the 2019 Comprehensive Plan regarding Mixed Use land uses (page 12-8): Recommendation for Residential Medium Density Downtown Dover is the City’s primary Mixed Use area. The historic City center clustered around The Green dates back as early as the 1700s. It expands to also include the traditional City pattern of grid streets which developed during the 19th and early 20th centuries. As a result of its earlier development, Downtown Dover, like many other historic cities, includes a variety of intermingled land uses. The Downtown area, which includes the traditional Loockerman Street business district, is broadly bounded by Wesley College on the north, the railroad tracks on the west, Bayhealth-Kent General Hospital on the south, and St. Jones River on the east. It includes a street level mix of residential, commercial, office, cultural, and institutional uses. Downtown Dover is the traditional and symbolic center of the community and is vitally important to the overall image and identity of the City. As the State’s office complex and other businesses and services make Downtown the largest area of employment in the City, Downtown Dover is vital to the economy. It is important to preserve the area as a safe, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing business environment. Downtown provides a unique and affordable commercial environment where locally owned businesses reflect the small-town nature of the community. Downtown also provides a residential environment with a wide variety of housing types near commercial, cultural, education, and employment resources. The age of the buildings and infrastructure in the Downtown area requires special attention and incentives to assist in continual use and revitalization activities. Downtown lacks the vibrancy of years gone by and its revitalization will hinge on mixed land uses and developing a commercial niche. Removal of blighted conditions, rehabilitation and redevelopment of traditional residential areas, and reestablishment of neighborhood identity will be important components of the City’s strategies and initiatives. The goal of the Land Development Plan is to enhance the role of Downtown Dover as a major employment, residential and commercial center as well as the symbolic and cultural heart of the community. Efforts should strive to recognize its unique heritage and historic resources and to provide for mixed use development allowing greatest variation of uses, Activities to reestablish the economic and social vitality of Downtown neighborhoods are encouraged. The Rezoning Request is consistent with the Land Use Category of Mixed Use.

No. 2011-29, 1-9-2012; Ord. No. 2014-05, 5-27-2014; Ord. No. 2015-13, 10-12-2015) Recommendation of the Planning Staff: Staff recommends that the Rezoning be granted to RG-1 as requested, as the proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the Mixed Use Land Use Category, and similarly returns the zoning of the properties to be consistent with much of the surrounding zoning. The proposed use of each property as one-family detached dwelling unit (single-family home) is a permitted use in the RG-1 zone. Were the application for Rezoning to be recommended by the Planning Commission and subsequently approved by the City Council, the applicant would still have to submit Building Permits for review and approval before construction can commence. The rezoning to RG-1 will also allow the applicant to submit a waiver request from the bulk standards to allow for less restrictive setbacks for development of the property. This recommendation is being made without that benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding landowners and residents. A public hearing is required on this matter and the Planning Commission should give those comments consideration. Recommendation of the Planning Commission: At the Virtual Planning Commission Meeting of November 16, 2020, the application was represented by the owner of the properties (NCALL) with Staff member Ms. Patricia Kelleher and also NCALL Board Member Jeannine Kleimo. During the Public Hearing, one Staff member spoke and email correspondence from a member of the public was received noting support of the rezoning application. The Planning Commission recommended in favor of the Rezoning from RG-3 to RG-1 for the two properties as proposed (Vote 9-0) finding the proposed zoning to be consistent with both the Comprehensive Plan and the surrounding zoning. See also the included excerpt of the DRAFT Meeting Minutes of the November 16, 2020 Planning Commission Meeting. The comments received from the other member agencies of the Development Advisory Committee (D.A.C.) are also provided. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: 1) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any rezoning application does not represent a Development Plan approval or the right to establish certain uses on the property. Following any decision made by City Council regarding this rezoning, certain applications must be submitted to the Planning Department prior to any construction activity or establishment of new uses on the site. The applicant should contact the City of Dover Planning Office at (302) 736-7196 with any questions. 2) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any rezoning application does not represent a Building Permit, Sign Permit or other construction activity permit approval. A separate application submission is required before issuance of permits by the City of Dover. 3) The applicant shall be aware that any future use of the existing structures may be subject to a separate permitting or licensing process through the City of Dover Licensing and Permitting Division. Certain types of uses also require a Public Occupancy Permit.

Rezoning Request--I vote in favor of rezoning to RG-1 ; I like the idea of helping others, esp. "taking care of our own", but it seems the past 35 yrs of group housing have been very problematic for the neighborhood ; the recent improvements w/ new H4H humanity homes have been amazing, so thank you to all involved ; I have ideas for helping w/ the nationwide homelessness problem, w/out ruining traditional, owner/occupant neighborhoods, but I'm not a "decision maker" [e.g., the 2nd-smallest state in the nation can't offer to take care of people from all over the country, incl. California (ref. 30-yr-old article in Dover Post) ] . Good luck w/ everything... ¥ :-)

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16, 2020 Excerpt from Meeting Minutes – Draft The Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Monday, November 16, 2020 at 7:00 PM as a Virtual Meeting using the phone/videoconferencing system WebEx due to Delaware’s Declaration of the State of Emergency for COVID-19. The Meeting Session was conducted with Chair Mrs. Maucher presiding. Members present were Mr. Adams, Mr. Roach, Mrs. Malone, Mr. Hartman, Mr. Baldwin, Mrs. Lord, Mrs. Welsh, Dr. Jones (arrived at 7:13 PM) and Mrs. Maucher. Staff members present were Mr. Dave Hugg, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Julian Swierczek, Mrs. Samantha Bulkilvish, Mr. Jason Lyon and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney. NEW APPLICATIONS Z-20-02 – Lands of NCALL at 35 and 39 North New Street - Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council for a rezoning application for two adjacent parcels of land consisting of 5,952 SF +/- and 3,877 SF +/-. The properties are zoned RG-3 (Group Housing Zone). The proposed zoning is RG-1 (General Residence Zone). The properties are located at the southeast corner of North New Street and Fulton Street on the east side of N. New Street. The owner of record is National Council on Agricultural Life & Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL). Property Addresses: 35 N. New Street and 39 N. New Street. Tax Parcels: ED-05- 076.08-05-39.00-000 and ED-05-076.08-05-40.00-000. Council District 4. Ordinance #2020-15. Representatives: Ms. Patricia Kelleher, NCALL; Ms. Jeanine Kleimo, Dover Interfaith Mission; Mr. Swierczek stated that this is a Rezoning Application for two properties at the southeast corner of North Street and Fulton Street. Together they are just under 10,000 SF. These two properties had previously come to the Planning Commission for a Rezoning in 2015 to go from RG-1 to RG-3. That was to allow for a townhome development under the zoning guidelines at the time and then a Subdivision again for that townhouse development in 2018. However, those plans were not finalized; therefore, these two properties are in their original plats and are seeking to be returned to the RG-1 zone. The reason for the Rezoning is that the owners would like to develop new single-family homes on each of the parcels. They have been vacant now for some time and the previous structures have been demolished. The parcel immediately at the corner of North New Street and Fulton Street is rather limited in size and RG-1 does allow for some administrative waivers for new home construction for single family homes. This is in line with the 2019 Comprehensive Plan and as a note; the members of the Planning Commission are simply reviewing the Rezoning to take it from RG-3 to RG-1. The actual construction of the homes will be done through the regular permitting process. Ms. Kleimo stated that as a Board member, she thinks that the Commission knows that NCALL has been a very effective developer of affordable housing in a very responsible fashion and this project is consistent with the Restoring Central Dover Planning Effort and she certainly thinks merits the support of the Commission.

Z-20-03 Lands of T. Anderson at 630 West Division St. Report to City Council: Planning Commission Recommendation of November 16, 2020 Page 2 Hearing was held on November 16, 2020 where seven (7) members of the public gave testimony and written correspondence was received regarding the Rezoning Application (3 in favor and 4 opposed). The written correspondence included a Protest Petition of Opposition to the Rezoning Application; see separate attachment. The Planning Commission moved by vote of 8-1 to recommend in favor of the proposed rezoning from C-3 and COZ-1 to IO and COZ-1. (Draft Meeting Minutes attached.) Overview: This rezoning application consists of one parcel of land totaling 1.08 +/- acres located on the south side of W. Division Street opposite Ridgely Street. The property is zoned C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is IO (Institutional and Office Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The owner of record is Silver Linings Holding Corporation c/o Tolano Anderson and the equitable owner is Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing. Property Address: 630 W. Division Street. Tax Parcel: ED-05-076.08-01-40.01-000. Existing Property: The property has frontage along West Division Street to the north and contains a professional office building. Vehicle access to the site is via a shared access with the neighboring property to the east (650 West Division Street) off of West Division Street. While there is a sidewalk along the West Division Street frontage, there is no dedicated pedestrian access from this sidewalk into the site. Almost the entire property is either paved or covered by the existing building. The applicant is seeking rezoning to IO (Institutional and Office Zone) to allow for an Emergency Shelter/ Temporary Housing Use (Dover Interfaith Mission). The COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) will remain. The previous owner and use (Offices for a Church) will remain in part of the building space as a tenant. The change of use of the site will be subject to permit submissions. This application only seeks rezoning of the property from C-3 to IO; the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) designation will remain. Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding parcels are all zoned commercial. The property immediately adjacent on the east and south of the property is zoned C-3 and contains a mini-storage facility. Immediately adjacent to the west is another property zoned C-3 which contains a car wash facility. Across West Division Street to the north are properties again zoned C-3 and also C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone), containing a variety of commercial uses. The subject property, as well as the surrounding parcels have a Land Use Category of Mixed Use. This is with the exception of the parcels to north and east of the subject property (across West Division Street but immediately east of Ridgley Street) which have a Land Use Category of Industrial. Comprehensive Plan: In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1) recommends that this property be used for Mixed Use. The 2019 Comprehensive Plan references Mixed Use land use category on page 12-7. The following is an excerpt from the 2019 Comprehensive Plan regarding Mixed Use land uses (page 12-8):

Z-20-03 Lands of T. Anderson at 630 West Division St. Report to City Council: Planning Commission Recommendation of November 16, 2020 Page 3 Recommendation for Downtown Dover – Historic Core and Center City: Mixed Use Area: Downtown Dover is the City’s primary Mixed Use area. The historic City center clustered around The Green dates back as early as the 1700s. It expands to also include the traditional City pattern of grid streets which developed during the 19th and early 20th centuries. As a result of its earlier development, Downtown Dover, like many other historic cities, includes a variety of intermingled land uses. The Downtown area, which includes the traditional Loockerman Street business district, is broadly bounded by Wesley College on the north, the railroad tracks on the west, Bayhealth-Kent General Hospital on the south, and St. Jones River on the east. It includes a street level mix of residential, commercial, office, cultural, and institutional uses. Downtown Dover is the traditional and symbolic center of the community and is vitally important to the overall image and identity of the City. As the State’s office complex and other businesses and services make Downtown the largest area of employment in the City, Downtown Dover is vital to the economy. It is important to preserve the area as a safe, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing business environment. Downtown provides a unique and affordable commercial environment where locally owned businesses reflect the small-town nature of the community. Downtown also provides a residential environment with a wide variety of housing types near commercial, cultural, education, and employment resources. The age of the buildings and infrastructure in the Downtown area requires special attention and incentives to assist in continual use and revitalization activities. Downtown lacks the vibrancy of years gone by and its revitalization will hinge on mixed land uses and developing a commercial niche. Removal of blighted conditions, rehabilitation and redevelopment of traditional residential areas, and reestablishment of neighborhood identity will be important components of the City’s strategies and initiatives. The goal of the Land Development Plan is to enhance the role of Downtown Dover as a major employment, residential and commercial center as well as the symbolic and cultural heart of the community. Efforts should strive to recognize its unique heritage and historic resources and to provide for mixed use development allowing greatest variation of uses, Activities to reestablish the economic and social vitality of Downtown neighborhoods are encouraged. The Rezoning Request is consistent with the Land Use Classification of Mixed Use. Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix (from the 2019 Comprehensive Plan) specifies that the following zones are compatible with this land use classification. C-2 (Central Commercial) (Downtown Redevelopment Target Area Only) C-2A (Limited Central Commercial) TND (Traditional Neighborhood Design) C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) C-1A (Limited Commercial) RGO (General Residence and Office) (Downtown Redevelopment Target Area Only) Mixed-Use R-8 (One Family Residence) R-10 (One Family Residence) RG-1 (General Residence) RG-2 (General Residence) RG-4 (General Resident - Multi-Story Apartments) C-3 (Service Commercial) CPO (Commercial and Professional Office) IO (Institutional and Office)I

Page 45

Z-20-03 Lands of T. Anderson at 630 West Division St. Report to City Council: Planning Commission Recommendation of November 16, 2020 Page 11 27.63 Parking, Subsection (a) Location. The frontage of the property on which the identifiable front of the building is located shall be the frontage that is subject to the requirements of Section 27.61 And Section 27.63, Subsection (a). In designing the site, in order to qualify for the relief under this subsection, the applicant must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the planning commission that the design incorporates the principles of superior urban design as defined in Section 27.2. Recommendation of the Planning Staff: Staff recommends that the Rezoning be granted to IO (Institutional and Office Zone) while retaining the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) as requested, as the proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the Mixed Use land use classification. The use as an Emergency Shelter/ Transitional Housing is a permitted use in the IO zone. Were the application for Rezoning to be recommended by the Planning Commission and subsequently approved by the City Council, the applicant would still have to submit Building Permits for the change of use in order for the Emergency Shelter/ Transitional Housing use of the site to be established. During that review process it will be determined if any site improvements are required. This recommendation is being made without that benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding landowners and residents. A public hearing is required on this matter and the Planning Commission should give those comments consideration. Recommendation of the Planning Commission: At the Virtual Planning Commission Meeting of November 16, 2020, the application was represented by the property owner Mr. Tolano Anderson (on behalf of Silver Linings Holding Corp.); Jeanine Kleimo and Herb Konowitz as representatives of the equitable owner/occupant Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing; and Brian Turner representing the engineering firm of Mountain Consulting. During the Public Hearing held at the Planning Commission Meeting, seven (7) members of the public gave testimony and written correspondence was received regarding the Rezoning Application (3 in favor and 4 opposed). The written correspondence included a Letter and a Protest Petition of Opposition to the Rezoning Application; see separate attachment. The Planning Commission moved by vote of 8-1 to recommend in favor of the proposed rezoning from C-3 and COZ-1 to IO and COZ-1. See also the included excerpt of the DRAFT Meeting Minutes of the November 16, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. The comments received from the other member agencies of the Development Advisory Committee (D.A.C.) are also provided. Petition of Opposition to Rezoning Application Z-20-03 A Petition of Opposition was received prior the Planning Commission Public Hearing on November 16, 2020 regarding Rezoning Application Z-20-03 Lands of Silver Linings Holdings Corp.: Rezoning C-3 to IO and subject to COZ-1. The Petition from area property owners of W. Division Street contained a Petition with two (2) signatures from owners of properties in the area objecting to the proposed rezoning of 630 W. Division Street, Dover. Planning Staff evaluated the Petition along with available property records to determine the adjacency of the signatories’

Z-20-03 Lands of T. Anderson at 630 West Division St. Report to City Council: Planning Commission Recommendation of November 16, 2020 Page 12 lots/properties to 630 W. Division Street as it relates to the requirements of 22 Del. Code §305. See attached Memorandum and analysis documents. The Petition is valid as per 22 Del. Code §305. Any action to approve the Rezoning of 630 W. Division Street (Ordinance #2020-16) requires a three-fourths majority of City Council.

As you are no doubt aware, the Property is located in a highly-developed area of Division Street which is improved and occupied by a number of longstanding businesses, all of which would be adversely impacted by the proposed rezoning. My client is greatly concerned that the use proposed by the Application - an emergency shelter and transitional housing - will introduce a substantial number of transient residents into the existing neighborhood, creating the risk of significant conflicts with the established businesses in the area ( e.g., congregating, loitering, traffic safety risks, enhanced risk of criminal activity from transients, etc.). My client respectfully submits that the (1) proposed use is incompatible with the existing uses in the neighborhood, and (2) adequate public services and infrastructure do not exist to serve the needs of the additional demand that would inevitably result from implementation of the proposed use (e.g., police, fire, and EMS services). For all of the foregoing reasons, the Application does not satisfy the legal standard for rezoning under Article 10, Section 5 of the City of 6 South State Street I Dover, Delaware 19901 [ 302-677-0061 [ 302-677-0065 www.bmbde.com I I DOVER LEWES WILMINGTON/GREENVILLE

The Property is located in a highly-developed area of Division Street which is improved and occupied by a number of longstanding businesses, all of which would be adversely impacted by the proposed rezoning.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16, 2020 Excerpt from Meeting Minutes – Draft The Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Monday, November 16, 2020 at 7:00 PM as a Virtual Meeting using the phone/videoconferencing system WebEx due to Delaware’s Declaration of the State of Emergency for COVID-19. The Meeting Session was conducted with Chair Mrs. Maucher presiding. Members present were Mr. Adams, Mr. Roach, Mrs. Malone, Mr. Hartman, Mr. Baldwin, Mrs. Lord, Mrs. Welsh, Dr. Jones (arrived at 7:13 PM) and Mrs. Maucher. Staff members present were Mr. Dave Hugg, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Julian Swierczek, Mrs. Samantha Bulkilvish, Mr. Jason Lyon and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney. NEW APPLICATIONS Z-20-03 Lands of Silver Linings Holding Corporation at 630 W Division Street - Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council for a rezoning application for a parcel of land consisting of 1.0853 acres (47,275.3 SF +/-). The properties are zoned C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is IO (Institutional and Office Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The property is located on the south side of West Division Street and opposite the intersection with Ridgely Street. The owner of record is Silver Linings Holding Corporation c/o Tolano Anderson and the equitable owner is Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing. Property Address: 630 W. Division Street. Tax Parcel: ED-05-076.08-01- 40.01-000. Council District 4. Ordinance #2020-16. Representatives: Ms. Jeanine Kleimo, Dover Interfaith Mission; Mr. Herb Konowitz, Dover Interfaith Mission; Mr. Brian Turner, Mountain Consulting Mr. Swierczek stated that this is an Application to rezone the property at 630 W Division Street from C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) to IO (Institutional and Office Zone) while maintaining the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The COZ-1 being an added zoning measure with added physical aesthetic requirements. The owner is doing this as they (the applicant - Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing) are purchasing the property from the previous owner who will stay on as a tenant. There was a church that had offices there and they will stay on at least in part of the space to keep their offices there. There are no physical changes proposed to the site; it is already developed. However, the main reason for the Rezoning is to accommodate an emergency shelter or transitional housing which is a permitted use in the IO (Institutional & Office Zone). That is in line with the Land Use Matrix as adopted in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan. This is only to allow for the use to occur; to establish the use will still be an administrative process with the City. This is only to allow that process to occur. Ms. Kleimo stated that they currently occupy on a leased basis a nearby property on Forest Street where we currently operate a shelter, offices and a day time resource center. These same facilities that currently exist in the neighborhood would be relocated to this site. Mr. Tolano Anderson is also on the call as he is a representative of the Silver Linings Holding Corporation and currently has his offices in the building. He has been extraordinarily corporative with us and Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2020 Page 1 of 8

Page 61

will continue to have his offices in the building. We have been working closely with the City and Mountain Consulting to ensure that the proper steps have been taken to acquire this facility for this propose. She is happy to answer any questions about the operation of the building and how this would be done. Mountain Consulting has provided a Site Plan and Mr. Brian Turner is here to address that plan if there are questions about it. Mr. Turner stated that he wanted to speak to the existing utilities that are there at Division Street. There is currently a 12-inch water main that currently serves the existing building and there is a fire hydrant also located directly across the street about 122 feet from the front door of 630 West Division Street. Ms. Kleimo has also been working with a local contractor, Bayside Fire Protection, on doing an assessment to have the building sprinkled in the future given that the plan does receive the Rezoning approval. That fire hydrant is capable of receiving 1,000 to 1,500 gallons per minute of firefighting flow. There is also a 12-inch sewer main that is in Division Street so these mains for both water and sewer are on the larger end of the mains that currently exist within the City’s utilities system. There is also a combined entrance for this site. The entrance is thirty-four feet in width, and it serves both the existing buildings and the automatic and the self-service car wash and the self-storage which is located in the rear of the site. DelDOT has gone through and made several pedestrian improvements, created bike lanes, and sidewalks on each side of Division Street. There is also a DART bus stop which is located 56 feet from the front door of this site. There are certainly adequate utilities and safe public transportation to access at the current site. Mr. Tolano Anderson stated that he thinks this is a great and positive project and he really loves the program. He sees what Dover Interfaith has done in our community. The fact that they have been so able to effectively provide shelter and subsidence and homeless transitional housing. You couldn’t find a better property or project with this much capacity anywhere in the City or even in the County. He thinks that it is an ideal situation and he thinks that it answers and resolves a lot of significant issues in our community. He owns two properties directly across the street from this property at 627 & 629 West Division Street. As a property owner and a businessman, he does not see any negative impact as a result of what is going to transpire here. That is partly based on the fact that the services and the professionalism of the people that are providing the service running this company is just outstanding. He has another thirteen properties in the City within 1,000 feet of this property and a total of 20 properties located within a quarter mile of this property. He understands what they are trying to do, and he understands what this project is designed to do, and he is in favor of it. He doesn’t see any negative impact because of how the program is going to be run. He and his staff are going to remain in that building as well adjacent to the operation that Dover Interfaith is running. He has seven employees full-time and two employees part-time and they are going to stay there as long as Dover Interfaith will allows us to use the space in there as well. Mr. Konowitz stated that he has been with Dover Interfaith for twelve years. He has seen what they can do with men to better themselves. Presently we are in 684 Forest Street and they are renting the property from the Downtown Dover Partnership. They have a lease with them which will be up at the end of the New Year in December. They have to move, and the City would like to see us move. They have served in the period of time that he has been there, over 3,000 men and he thinks that they have done an adequate job. They want to expand, and they ask for the Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2020 Page 2 of 8

Page 62

Commission’s positive vote tonight. Ms. Kleimo stated that she thinks that they have had a very successful record. They cannot control all of the homeless people who might come in and out of Dover, but they are hoping that this will provide more space for sheltering them, for training them and for assisting them in a variety of ways. They have increased their services over the years so that we have a wide range of wraparound or comprehensive services and so that they can change the lives of the people who come to us at Dover Interfaith. They don’t just come for a night; they come to reside in the building for a period of time in the program. More than 70% of them leave with stability, with employment, with housing opportunities in the community and become productive members of our local society. There are a couple of other Board members on the call; Mr. Dave Callahan and Bishop Nelson Lewis may have further comments. Mr. Hartman thanked the applicant for what they are doing in Dover. They know that it is a hard job. Reading the concerns of the adjacent businesses that have been there a long time, if you have a resident that is giving those businesses a problem, is there anything that you can do about that? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Ms. Kleimo stated that one of the things that they do is that they have quite a strict set of rules. One of them is no panhandling; they do provide the needs of the men who are residing with us. They get the meals that they need, we help them with clothing and access to medical care and a wide range of services so there is no need for them to be bothering other people. They do often have a number of people who reside in the shelter at any given time who have been incarcerated in the past but our record of keeping them out of prison is very substantial. It is a rare event for someone who comes into our program to return to incarceration. Nearly all of those have events have been the results of violation of probation such as staying out too late at night or being in the wrong place rather than any criminal action. They would want to work with the surrounding property owners to ensure that there is no harassment or panhandling or other behavior that they would find undesirable because we also find it undesirable. They also don’t let men just hang out around the building. They have plans to provide for some sort of protected area for smoke breaks or recreation but with such a large building, they have more indoor space for television, games and recreation of general nature. They don’t allow their residents to just be hanging around outside and being a nuisance. Mr. Hartman questioned if one of the residents was giving the funeral home a problem, they could call you and you could address it? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Ms. Kleimo stated absolutely. They also have an excellent relationship with the Dover Police Department. She has met with the new Chief and one of our staff members is on his Advisory Committee that he has set up. So that when there is an incident of belligerent behavior, sometimes they have had people who have come over from the street to pick a fight, then they call the police immediately. Anyone who is in the building who engages in any behavior like that is put in the hands of the police as soon as we find out about it. Ms. Lord stated that she lives State Street right next to the Oxford House. When they learned that our neighbors had sold the house next door to us to the Oxford House, they were quite frankly freaked out because they had no idea what to expect; they imagined the worst. It is a similar sort of setup, but it is self-policed. They don’t even have someone looking out for them other than themselves, so they hold each other accountable. She can tell you that they have had absolutely Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2020 Page 3 of 8

Page 63

zero problems and they have been there for 2.5 years. They know most of them; they say hi and we say hi and they keep up the house. She knows that everyone is leery, and she can understand because they did the same thing. She would say to the other Commissioners and the property owners around this particular property, just give them a chance. They have been doing this work for a while and they know how to handle it. They have the direct communications to law enforcement and the rules are very clearly understood. It has been her experience as a homeowner on State Street that you can coexist with people who are just trying to better themselves. Dr. Jones asked the applicant to talk about the professional office space combined with temporary housing. She helps serve with her church over there and is familiar with the program and services of Dover Interfaith and there is such a broad range of services. She is curious how logistically this is working. Responding to Dr. Jones, Ms. Kleimo stated that the building would be divided into four parts. Half of the downstairs would be the Shelter and above it would be some longer-term supportive housing for people moving up literally from the Shelter. The other ground floor area would be the Resource Center and offices for the organization for Dover Interfaith. Upstairs would be offices currently operated by and leased in part by Mr. Anderson and his company. They would have an entrance that would not give them access or our residents access to the second-floor office. They have talked with both Mr. Anderson and the architect about ways to segregate the facilities so that the office space is not accessed by any residents or users of the building and neither would they freely come and go from the Shelter. She thinks that the building lends itself to that plan so that if you and your church were to come back, they would have a designated space. The Resource Center corridor on the ground level where the commercial kitchen, and the food and training rooms and so on would be located; and there wouldn’t be any interaction with the office space that would be used by other agencies. Dr. Jones stated that she is just sort of wondering why the entire building is not being used. Responding to Dr. Jones, Ms. Kleimo stated that it is a matter of affording the entire building and also Mr. Anderson and others have done quite a lot to create local office space in the building which they have reason to want to continue to use. Mr. Anderson stated that Ms. Kleimo covered it very well. We have outfitted our space very nicely and that is why we requested to stay on in this facility. We have a separate entrance and our suite has its own restroom that has a kitchenette and everything that we need. It also keeps us in the community where we serve people. This particular ministry supports a group of housing units Downtown just off of New Street. Some of the staff may remember it as Progress LLC. There are several commercial and residential units. It keeps us close to the community as well as some of our other clients and we really like it there. They don’t have any concerns because they have seen how Dover Interfaith runs their business. They love it and the price point is good. Dr. Jones questioned if this space is being leased by Mr. Anderson currently? Responding to Dr. Jones, Ms. Kleimo stated yes, and he would continue to lease that office space and we have altered the design so that it is separate from the rest of the operation. Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing. Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2020 Page 4 of 8

Bishop Nelson Lewis – 47 Westover Drive Dover DE 19904 Bishop Lewis stated that before he became a Board member of Dover Interfaith, he is the current Pastor of a local church Mt. Caramel which is down the street from the current location and the proposed location. Our collaboration began several years ago when Code Purple first came to Kent County and his church was one of the first churches that opened our doors for the homeless during the winter months. That is where he had the opportunity of meeting Ms. Kleimo and Mr. Konowitz and began to work closely with them and the Interfaith Mission. He found that the Interfaith Mission wasn’t just a shelter for the homeless, but they also had a great impact in transitioning the lives of many of the homeless back to the workforce and becoming very productive in the community. He is hoping and praying for a favorable decision and they can continue on the great effort and the accomplishments that are being conducted and carried out by the Interfaith Mission. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Mr. John Paradee submitted a letter that was delivered to the Planning Office as correspondence in regards to this application. The letter is dated November 13, 2020 and he notes that he is representing Bennie Smith Real Estate LLC and Bennie Smith individually as owner of several parcels of land in the immediate area. The Planning Commission members were forwarded this letter and she will reference it for the record. The Planning Office also received today, a Protest Petition in Opposition to this Rezoning application and it was signed by two individuals: Mr. Bennie Smith and Mr. Victor Giangrant with addresses at 717 West Division Street and 805 Forest Street. A copy of that Petition was also forwarded to the Planning Commission members and is available on the screen. Mr. John Paradee – Baird, Mandalas & Brockstedt – 6 South State Street Dover DE 19901 Mr. Paradee stated that he represents Mr. Bennie Smith and Bennie Smith Real Estate LLC, the owner of several parcels located across the street from 630 West Division Street. He also represents Mr. Victor Giangrant, the owner of the West Side Car Wash which is immediately to the west of the subject property. His clients are concerned that the site of this proposed use located in a highly developed area of Division Street which has been improved by a number of businesses that have been operating in the area for a long time. He certainly knows that Mr. Konowitz and Ms. Kleimo are good and honorable people and he believes that their mission and cause is a noble one but unfortunately his clients believe that the use proposed by this application, an emergency shelter and transitional housing is simply incompatible with the long- standing businesses in the area. They are concerned that the introduction of a substantial number of transient residents into the neighborhood will create serious conflicts with the businesses in the area notably congregating, loitering, traffic safety risks and enhanced risks of criminal activity. His clients respectfully submit that the proposed use is incompatible with the existing uses in the neighborhood and that adequate public services and infrastructure do not exist to serve the demand that would result from that conflict. He would point out for the record that Mr. Giangrant has told him that panhandling is already going on at his business and he has to chase people off of his property constantly. The concern here is that by expanding this use, by moving it across the street onto this property and dramatically increasing the size and the magnitude of the operation which by the applicant’s own admission, they have difficulty controlling some of these homeless people. It is even more concerning he thinks to learn tonight that they often have formerly incarcerated prisoners in the facility, and he thinks there was mention of examples of belligerent behavior in the past. Those are the kinds of threats and concerns to any business Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2020 Page 5 of 8

Page 65

operating in the Downtown area that ought to cause everyone some concern. He would like to give Mr. Bennie Smith and Mr. Victor Giangrant an opportunity to give examples of these instances. But for example, Bennie Smith’s Funeral Home has a number of funeral services throughout the year on a regular basis at his property where people are decked out in their Sunday best and they are coming there for a very somber occasion. The risk of conflict with these gentlemen who may be in the neighborhood on a transient basis with no real investment in the community is a great concern to that operation. Same thing for Mr. Giangrant’s car wash operation; he has mentioned that he has had trouble with people on his property causing problems and he hopes that Mr. Giangrant will talk a little bit more about that. They did submit a Protest Petition and the reason for that protest in writing is pursuant to Title 22 Section 305 of the Delaware Code which requires a three fourths majority vote of the City Council in the event that the owners of properties comprising 20% or more of the area immediately surrounding the subject property. If they submit a written protest, then that three fourths majority is required and he would submit respectfully that between Mr. Smith and Mr. Giangrant, they own close to 50% of the property in the area. It is also his understanding that the gentleman who owns and operates the Mini Storage Facility to the east is likewise opposed to this application for Rezoning. Mr. Bennie Smith – Bennie Smith Funeral Homes, 717 West Division Street Dover, DE 19904 Mr. Smith stated that they have a concern that they are going to have more cars broken into. They find people sleeping in some of the cars. Most of our people are elderly people that have to walk up the sidewalk with walkers and canes. Even himself, when he goes out to get in his car someone in the neighborhood is knocking on his window asking for something to eat. If they are doing that to him, he certainly would think that it would be a problem for one hundred people or more that are coming in for a funeral or viewing. He has great concern that it will affect his business. Mr. Dave Callahan – 23 Clark Court Dover DE 19901 Mr. Callahan stated that he is a member of the Board of Directors for Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing. He has seen first-hand the tremendous impact that the Shelter has on changing lives for the better. He fully supports this application for a Rezoning. Mr. Arthur Giangrant – West Side Car Wash - 805 Forest Street Dover DE 19901 Mr. Giangrant stated that he would like to follow up with Mr. Paradee’s statement. They already have a lot of problems with panhandlers. A lot of people come to our lot and really give our customers a hard time. They are worried that it’s going to be a bigger issue with a lot more people in the area. They have a lot of automobiles traveling on their property and at this point we have a lot of transit traffic. Currently, people are walking through their yard bumming cigarettes and trying to ask our customers and employees for money. It already is a safety issue for us, and they are worried that a lot of extra people in the area will cause a lot more safety concerns as far as traveling in our parking lot. He thinks that it is a great idea; he just doesn’t think it works in this location. There is just too much going on as far as panhandling and prostitution. They try to do our best to kick them out and to call the police but at some points we can be overwhelmed. We believe that we will be even more overwhelmed if this comes through. Like he said, he thinks that it is a fantastic idea; it’s just not the correct location for this facility. Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2020 Page 6 of 8

Mr. Victor Giangrant – West Side Car Wash – 805 Forest St Dover DE 19901 Mr. Giangrant stated that they have been at this location for 39 years. We hire an awful lot of homeless people and he is proud to say that they have turned their lives around, but he doesn’t believe that a shelter should be located directly next to a car wash. They have had so many problems in the past with panhandlers that have come into our establishment to go the restroom and making a mess out of the place and take the toilet paper off of the wall. We have a lot of running vehicles in the yard. The way the vehicles are designed in today’s world is that you have to have a key fab inside of them. You have to leave them running otherwise they will put themselves in park and we would not be able to clean them as far as going through the car wash system; so, we have to keep vehicles running. They come out at the other end and are still running. We have a lot of people cutting through our yard, watching the operation, panhandling our customers. If we add more people to this, it will just amplify the problem. They have been here a long time and sometimes it’s struggle and it’s embarrassing to have to shew off homeless people and they get arrogant sometimes. He likes the idea, but he doesn’t think that it fits in the neighborhood. Also, there is a school close by and he doesn’t know how that affects the zoning. It is about 2,000 feet away and that should also be taken into consideration. Mr. Tolano Anderson – 50 Dove Creek Drive Dover DE 19901 Mr. Anderson stated that he wanted to point out something that is erroneous information concerning the layout of this property. Because of the way it is situated and the way it is fenced, the issue that Mr. Giangrant was referring to, they haven’t had any of those problems and we are literally right next door. He is not sure what the draw is, but he doesn’t think that Dover Interfaith should be penalized or punished for behavior of unrelated persons on other properties because they make great efforts to manage their people and to manage their program. He mentioned earlier that that he has two businesses directly across the street from this property right next door to Mr. Bennie Smith’s property and he does not have those problems either. He doesn’t have anyone breaking in, getting into cars or panhandling. His staff parks at the front of the property and they don’t have any of those issues at all and they haven’t had any situations or confrontations or anything like that. He just wanted to point out that there is a difference and it may have a lot to do with factors that maybe we are not all considering here. Cars cannot travel between this property and Mr. Giangrant’s property because it is completely fenced off. This property has one way in and one way out. He wanted to point this out because his business in this building has had none of these issues. Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing. Mrs. Welsh stated that hearing the comments about panhandling made her wonder if the people who are using the services at Dover Interfaith, would they be there all day, and would they have free time to be standing around panhandling and activities such as that? What would their typical day be like? Responding to Mrs. Welsh, Ms. Kleimo stated that everyone in our program is prohibited from panhandling and face eviction if they do that because their needs are met. During the day, they have access to facilities. We have case managers who work with them and provide training in things like managing their money and opening a bank account. They also coach them so that they can go out on job interviews. We help them with job applications so that their days should be occupied in that process of looking for work and looking for what is next in their life and preparing for it rather than loitering, wandering around and panhandling. As she mentioned, Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2020 Page 7 of 8

Page 67

they can’t control other people in the community who might panhandle. They have had a number of men successfully gain employment in the West Side Car Wash while residing in the shelter until they can save up enough money to move on. She would hope that would continue, in fact they have prohibited car washing at the Shelter out of respect for the Car Wash so that they don’t detract from their business. They don’t allow people to be parking cars and sleeping in them or things of that nature. In fact, very few of our residents have cars. They are not really transient people. When they come in, they are usually there for period of time, often as long as ninety days. The average is more between fifty and sixty days that is takes them to go through the case management process and find a job, save money and be able to move on but they should be fully occupied with those tasks. Mr. Konowitz stated that they have been doing this for 12 years. Our reputation means a lot to us and the type of people that you are talking about, they don’t tolerate at the shelter. The people that you think that you are talking about are the people that are Downtown presently, urinating in the galley and defecating on buildings. We don’t have those kinds of people. They have a reputation for running a tight ship. Mrs. Malone stated that about nine years ago, she and her husband lost all of their living parents within one month and they had a couple houses that they needed to clean out. She contacted the Dover Interfaith Mission and they had a gentleman that had just gotten a job and had just gotten his first apartment and he had his children on a temporary basis, but they were sleeping on the floor. She told him that if he could get a truck and come to one of the houses that they would donate whatever furniture that he needed. He showed up at the time that they agreed to and he and a friend packed that truck. He was so grateful and so thankful. She has volunteered in there before. She just really finds it very hard to believe that the people that have been mentioned that are causing issues on this street are coming from the Dover Interfaith Mission because those are not the people that she has ever been affiliated with. She thinks that it is a really great program. Mrs. Malone moved to recommend approval to City Council for Z-20-03 Lands of Silver Linings Holding Corporation at 630 West Division Street to change the zoning from C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) to IO (Institutional & Office Zone) and remaining subject to the COZ-1, seconded by Mrs. Welsh and the motion was carried 8-1 by roll call vote. Mrs. Malone voting yes. Mr. Hartman voting yes. Mr. Baldwin voting yes. Dr. Jones voting yes. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; it is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Mrs. Lord voting yes; a rising tide raises all ships. Mr. Adams voting yes; he encourages Mr. Smith and Mr. Giangrant to continue the conversations with Dover Interfaith Mission and try to make sure that they all can get on the same page. Mr. Roach voting no; he loves all of the work that Dover Interfaith Mission does. He loves all of the development that Tolano Anderson has been doing around this area, but he would have to agree with Mr. Smith and Mr. Giangrant, just being an employee of at Booker T. Washington Elementary and knowing that it is directly a walking route for kids to go home. He definitely feels as though we need all the help that we can for men and transitioning but for him to have those concerns by 50% of the land owners in that area and him being a parent and a teacher in that area, he does not feel as though that is a good use at all. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2020 Page 8 of 8

The Petition from area property owners of W. Division Street contained a petition with two (2) signatures from owners of properties in the area objecting to the proposed rezoning of 630 W. Division Street, Dover. Title 22 §305 of Delaware Code outlines the criteria for determining the viability of a petition opposing a rezoning request and how a legislative body of a municipality is to proceed in processing the petition. Delaware Code requires that when 20% of eligible lots participate in a petition, the legislative body for the municipality must achieve a three-fourths favorable decision to proceed with the rezoning of the property. See Del. Code excerpt below. Delaware Code: TITLE 22 Municipalities, CHAPTER 3. Municipal Zoning Regulations, Subchapter I. General Provisions § 305 Changes in regulations; procedure. The regulations, restrictions and boundaries may from time to time be amended, supplemented, changed, modified or repealed. In case, however, of a protest against such changes signed by the owners of 20 percent or more, either of the area of the lots included in such proposed change or of those immediately adjacent thereto extending 100 feet therefrom or of those directly opposite thereto extending 100 feet back from the street frontage of such opposite lots, such amendment shall not become effective except by the favorable vote of three fourths of all the members of the legislative body of the municipality; provided, however, that in any municipality of this State with a population in excess of 50,000 persons, the foregoing provisions regarding a protest shall not be applicable to any such change which is proposed in connection with the construction of federally assisted multi- family housing for the elderly and handicapped, in all instances of which such change shall become effective by the favorable vote of a simple majority of all the members of the legislative body of the municipality.

Z-20-03 Memorandum on Petition of Opposition Page 2 of 2 Planning Staff evaluated the Petition along with available property records to determine the adjacency of the signatories’ lots/properties to 630 W. Division Street as it relates to the requirements of 22 Del. Code §305. The Petition is evaluated based upon the presence (or lack thereof) of signatures from the six (6) eligible surrounding properties. The attached Petition Exhibit Map and Zoning Petition Summary Analysis Spreadsheet show information from the analysis. • The Petition Exhibit Map shows the subject at 630 W. Division Street in yellow. The Eligible Properties shown in blue are those lots within 100 feet (Red Line) of the subject property and the street frontage of the subject property. The properties marked with a star are the properties that were included in the Petition. • The Petition Summary Analysis Spreadsheet lists the property owners of the six (6) Eligible Properties and indicates those that signed the Petition (marked with an ‘x’ in the Petitioner column). The Subject Property of the Rezoning is also marked as “Subject.” Planning Staff notes the following from our analysis: • The signers of the Petition provided two (2) property addresses immediately adjacent and immediately across the street from the subject property. The signers are property and business owners. This gives a tally of 2 out of 6 Eligible Property Owners equating to 33.3%. • While there are only two (2) property owners and two (2) property addresses listed on the Petition, one of the signatories Mr. Bennie Smith also owns the parcel at 721 W. Division Street. This address falls within the 100-foot buffer of the subject property. By adding this property address as a Petitioner since its owner signed the Petition, the total is considered to be three (3) property owners and three (3) property addresses. In Summary, the results of the Petition Analysis are as follows: • 3 out of 6 Eligible Property Owners signed the Petition. • The total number of eligible and verifiable petitioners is 3. • 3/6 eligible and verifiable petitioners equate to 50.0%. The Petition is valid as per 22 Del. Code §305. Any action to approve the Rezoning of 630 W. Division Street (Ordinance #2020-16) requires a three-fourths majority of City Council.

PROTEST IN OPPOSTION TO REZONING APPLICATION Lands of Silver Linings Holding Corporation 630 W. Division Street Application #Z-20-03 We, the undersigned, do hereby submit the following protest, pursuant to 22 Del. C. § 305, respectfully requesting that the City of Dover Planning Cormnission and the City of Dover City Council DENY Application #Z-20-03 (the "Application") for rezoning of property owned by Silver Linings Holding Corporation located at 630 W. Division Street, Dover. Delaware, otherwise known as Tax Parcel #ED-05-076.08-01-40.01-000 (the "Prope1iy"). We submit this protest pursuant to 22 Del. C. § 305, as the owners of 20 percent or more of the area oflots irmnediately adjacent to or directly opposite the Property. The Property is located in a highly-developed area of Division Street which is improved and occupied by a number of longstanding businesses, all of which would be adversely impacted by the proposed rezoning. We are greatly concerned that the use proposed by the Application - an emergency shelter and transitional housing - will introduce a substantial number of transient residents into the existing neighborhood, creating the risk of significant conflicts with the established businesses in the area (e.g., congregating, loitering, traffic safety risks, enhanced risk of criminal activity from transients, etc.). We therefore respectfully submit that (1) the proposed use is incompatible with the existing uses in the neighborhood, and (2) adequate public services and infrastructure do not exist to serve the needs of the additional demand that would inevitably result from implementation of the proposed use (e.g., police, fire, and EMS services). For all of the foregoing reasons, the Application does not satisfy the legal standard for rezoning under Article 10, Section 5 of the City of Dover Zoning Code, and accordingly, we respectfully request that you DENY the Application. Thank you for your consideration. 1

We are greatly concerned that the use proposed by the Application - an emergency shelter and transitional housing - will introduce a substantial number of transient residents into the existing neighborhood, creating the risk of significant conflicts with the established businesses in the area (e.g., congregating, loitering, traffic safety risks, enhanced risk of criminal activity from transients, etc.). We therefore respectfully submit that the (1) proposed use is incompatible with the existing uses in the neighborhood, and (2) adequate public services and infrastructure do not exist to serve the needs of the additional demand that would inevitably result from implementation of the proposed use (e.g., police, fire, and EMS services). For all of the foregoing reasons, the Application does not satisfy the legal standard for rezoning under Article 10, Section 5 of the City of Dover Zoning Code, and ' accordingly, we respectfully request that you DENY the Application. Thank you for your consideration.

MI-20-04 Text Amendment - Short Term Rental Uses Report to City Council: Planning Commission Recommendation of November 16, 2020 Page 2 of 8 Identification of Need for Regulations: Background Regulating airbnb’s/home-sharing/short-term rentals has become a major topic of discussion across the county. Often referred to as Airbnb’s (Airbnb is a company whose business model and name have become synonymous with a “shared or on-demand economy”), the issue involves the use of dwellings for short-term residential rental opportunities. Whether under the Airbnb, Home Away, Expedia, VBO or other business name, the business model is that a private property owner offers a room or rooms for short term rental for overnight residential purposes at a low price, with few accommodations, over the Internet. Often the owner is not present on the property and the entire transaction occurs digitally. In a typical transaction, the general area location (i.e. Greater Dover area) is posted on the Internet, a potential occupant responds and pays electronically for the time/space desired. The payment is often made to a vendor who extracts a commission and forwards the funds to the owner assuming the renter is satisfied with the accommodation; although, it is likely that many transactions are directly between the parties. Following payment, the owner supplies a definite address and a digital code allowing access to the property and to the specific room(s) which are secured by a programmable or digital lock on each access door. The renter often has some access to common areas, but no personal services are provided. The entire transaction may be anonymous. Concerns typically fall into a couple of categories. Because of the nature of the transaction it may be difficult to determine who is using the premises, when they are doing so and for what purposes. Additionally, because there are limited restrictions imposed by the owner, fire and life safety standards may not be met. In many instances, the properties may not provide adequate parking for visitors who often arrive at various times and frequency. The absence of an onsite owner/manager/agent makes enforcement of noise, restrictions on pets, limitations on number of occupants, and other restrictions hard to enforce. These uses can become nuisances in a more traditional residential neighborhood. Because these transactions are not regularly reported for licensing and taxation purposes, lodging and other fees and taxes are also generally not collected, negatively impacting on local revenues. Other forms of transient accommodation (hotels, traditional Bed and Breakfasts, rooming houses, etc.) require inspection and licensing and are often subject to taxes, fees or other charges collected by the local jurisdiction. Data collection limitations and the nature of the transactions make it difficult to know the frequency of use, the conditions and restrictions that might apply, compliance with life and fire safety requirements, or to impose any lodging tax (if applicable). Jurisdictions across the country have attempted to regulate the Short-Term Rental business through regulatory approaches which include some or all the following: • Clear policy objectives and purposes or regulation • Simple and enforceable regulations • System of permit/rental licenses or similar form of tracking and regulating • Specifications of where permitted (any or limited residential zone) • Inspection required for life safety and sanitation

Page 83

MI-20-04 Text Amendment - Short Term Rental Uses Report to City Council: Planning Commission Recommendation of November 16, 2020 Page 3 of 8 • Local contact person to address complaints on a 24/7 basis • Owner occupancy provision • Process for neighbor reporting of complaints • Limitations on occupancy/people limits • Control over party houses • Good Neighbor rules/brochure • Penalties and fines Success in developing and implementing programs to regulate short-term rentals has been highly variable, often with high enforcement requirements and low compliance. Dover’s Situation At any time, based solely on website inquiry, there appears to be over 100 listings for short-term rentals in the greater Dover area. While these activities do not seem to generate a significant number of complaints or problems, some short-term rentals have generated neighbor complaints about extra cars parked on the street, trash, and occasionally noise (especially if the short-term rental is used as a “party house”). Due to the way listings are placed and limitations on readily available information, the City is generally unaware where or how often the use occurs until issue rise to the level of complaint. Code Review & Analysis Dover does not directly currently regulate the matter of short-term residential rental uses. The definition of “Dwelling Unit” (Appendix B, - Zoning, Article 12. Definitions) reads: Dwelling unit: A building or entirely self-contained portion thereof containing complete housekeeping facilities for only one family, including any domestic servants employed on the premises, and having no enclosed space (other than vestibules, entrance or other hallways or porches) or cooking or sanitary facilities in common with any other dwelling unit. A boarding (house) or rooming house, convalescent home, dormitory, fraternity or sorority house, hotel, inn, lodging, nursing or other similar home, travel trailer, recreational vehicle, or other similar structures or vehicles shall not be determined to constitute a dwelling unit. The current definition of “Family” (Appendix B – Zoning, Article 12. Definitions) reads: Family: One or more persons occupying a dwelling unit as a single nonprofit housekeeping unit. More than five persons, exclusive of domestic servants, or not more than one boarder or roomer, not related by blood, marriage or adoption shall not be considered to constitute one family. There are no Zoning Ordinance definitions applicable to boarding house, rooming house or lodging house. Although, these terms may be covered through other ordinances and codes – i.e. Building Codes and Life Safety Codes. Rental Dwellings are regulated under Article X, Chapter 22 of the Dover Code of Ordinances. A Rental Dwelling is defined as a “dwelling unit that is leased for occupancy to a person or persons in exchange for monetary payment or provision of goods or services to the owner of the dwelling unit.” A Rental Dwelling Permit (rental license) and inspection are required. The annual Rental Dwelling Permit does not include any provisions limiting the term of occupancy, number of

Page 84

MI-20-04 Text Amendment - Short Term Rental Uses Report to City Council: Planning Commission Recommendation of November 16, 2020 Page 4 of 8 times the unit can be rented during the year, or number of occupants (although the definition of dwelling unit could be limiting). Termination of utility services and fines are established for violations or failure to properly maintain the Rental Dwelling premises. In summary, nothing in the Dover Code of Ordinances or Zoning Ordinance specifically regulates short-term residential occupancies, but the combination of definitions and related provisions on the surface would prohibit short term residential uses unless a property was declared a rental unit, properly inspected and subject to the Rental Dwelling Permit with license fee. Otherwise, the definitions of “dwelling unit” and “family” would collectively prohibit such use. This creates at least three differing scenarios: Scenarios: • A unit occupied by the owner would be restricted by the definition of family and at most could only have one boarder or roomer. It is unclear what the term “nonprofit” means in that circumstance, but it would seem to restrict compensation. Short-term rental is most likely illegal. • A unit registered as a rental unit with a Rental Dwelling Permit in place would seem to be available for rentals of any duration and potentially could meet the restrictions such that it could function as a short-term rental/airbnb. Short-term rental might be legal. • Use of a rental unit for short-term occupancy through a private sub-lease would also seem legal under City Code, subject to landlord-tenant codes and private lease terms. The immediacy of this issue results from one specific property (a single-family dwelling in an older low-density residential neighborhood) being used as a short-term rental/airbnb creating frequent complaints about traffic, parked cars, trash, noise, etc. There is an out of state owner who does not live in the dwelling and appears to only be interested in the short term rental revenue. A second dwelling in another part of the City has occasionally created complaints as well. “Airbnb’s” regardless of how they are listed or operate are not specifically permitted by City regulation. So, the fallback is to address them on a case-by-case basis (compliant driven) and where found use the Rental Dwelling Permit (rental license) provisions of the City Code. Anyone determined to be operating an airbnb/short-term rental would be required to obtain a rental license listing the property for rent and subject to a rental license inspection and fee in Dover. They are not authorized as “Bed and Breakfast” operations as provided for in the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, they can be determined to be “illegal” and subject to Code Enforcement unless covered by a rental license. Note: a longer-term rental typically involves a lease and utility arrangements; a short-term rental typically does not involve either. Proposed Text Amendments Key components of the proposed Text Amendments to the Dover Code of Ordinances to Chapter 22, Division 3 – Short Term Rental Use include: • Section 22-356 - In response staff has developed a proposed ordinance modelled on similar approaches across the country which is based on the following stated purpose: Purpose. The City of Dover wishes to permit the limited and temporary rental use of single family residences in established areas of the City as an economic asset, allowing for increased travel, visitation and tourism and affording property owners

Page 85

MI-20-04 Text Amendment - Short Term Rental Uses Report to City Council: Planning Commission Recommendation of November 16, 2020 Page 5 of 8 of the opportunity to earn revenue from such occupancy, while ensuring that such uses do not become a nuisance, that neighborhood character is not compromised, and that such businesses are properly operated and maintained. The purpose of this Division shall be to minimize public safety risks and noise, trash and parking problems often associated with short-term rental uses; to ensure that traditional neighborhoods are not turned into tourist areas to the detriment of long-term residents; and to ensure that individual dwellings are not turned into pseudo hotels or party houses. • Section 22-357 - The Ordinance sets forth provisions allowing such uses of one family dwellings as a matter of right. It adds definitions, including defining Short Term Rental Uses (STRU) as rentals of less than 30 days, and creates a process for registration, inspection and licensing. • Section 22-358 - The most significant provisions are those set forth in Section 22-358 limiting a Short Term Rental Use (STRU) to a property owned and occupied as a primary residence. This provision is aimed at limiting dwellings being used as businesses where the owner may be a non-resident or as part of a corporate business activity. Nationwide this has been the most effective provision for limiting the proliferation of these uses in traditional neighborhoods. • Section 22-359 - Provisions in Section 22-359 address occupancy, parking, guest behavior, prohibition of nuisances, and other requirements aimed at minimizing adverse impacts on the established residential neighborhood. • Section 22-360 and 22-361 - Provisions in Sections 22-360 and 22-361 add enforcement, fees and penalty provisions. • Appendix F – Fees and Fines – This section is amended to establish the fees for a Short Term Rental Use license and the penalties/fines. • Chapter 22- Article IX, Section 22-281 - The Ordinance amends Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article IX - Lodginghouses, Section 22-281 by adding the words “inns, boardinghouses, rooming houses” to the definition to ensure consistency throughout the Code. Key components of the proposed Text Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance (Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix B – Zoning) are as follows: • Article 12 - The ordinance also amends Appendix B – Zoning, Article 12. Definitions by removing the word “nonprofit” from the definition of “family.” History of Committee and City Council Activity The City Council Committee of the Whole: Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee participated in multiple discussions at various Committee Meeting beginning on February 25, 2020. Staff worked to refine the proposed Ordinance on Short Term Rental Uses in response to the Committee discussions and other input from interested parties. The Ordinance had its First Reading before Council on October 12, 2020 as Staff Substitute #2 with CCW #1 for Ordinance #2020-05.

Page 86

MI-20-04 Text Amendment - Short Term Rental Uses Report to City Council: Planning Commission Recommendation of November 16, 2020 Page 6 of 8 Because there is a Text Amendment proposed to the Zoning Ordinance, a Public Hearing and Recommendation by the Planning Commission are required. City Council has referred the Ordinance to the Planning Commission for a public hearing and consideration on November 16, 2020. Then it scheduled for Public Hearing and Final Reading by Council on December 14, 2020. At that meeting City Council may act to adopt the whole Ordinance, to adopt part of the Ordinance, and/or to make other amendments to the proposed text. Planning Review and Recommendations: Planning Staff developed the proposed Ordinance for Short Term Rental Uses (STRU) at the direction of City Council. 1. Staff continues to review the Proposed Ordinance in response to comments received from Dover’s Office of the Fire Marshal and the Code Enforcement Division. There may be additional clarifications necessary to ensure Fire Code Compliance. (See Section below.) 2. Staff notes that proofreading corrections and text revisions may be necessary. These will be presented prior to final adoption. 3. The Planning Office provided an opportunity to Development Advisory Committee (DAC) members to comment on the proposed Text Amendments at their meetings on October 28 and November 4, 2020. Most agencies had no comments except for the Office of the Fire Marshal. These comments will be evaluated, and appropriate revisions offered for consideration. 4. The Proposed Ordinance is also subject to Legal Review by the City Solicitor which may identify additional clarifications or corrections. 5. Upon adoption, the Department of Planning & Inspection will be developing the associated Short Term Rental Use License application forms, application and inspection procedures and outreach materials. Recommendation of the Planning Commission: At the Virtual Planning Commission Meeting of November 16, 2020, the proposed Text Amendment on Short Term Rental Uses was presented by the Planning Director Mr. David Hugg. During the Public Hearing, no members of the public spoke, and no correspondence was received on the proposal. The Planning Commission recommended in favor (Vote 9-0) of the adoption of the Text Amendment: Short Term Rental Uses and noting the ongoing discussions with the City’s Office of the Fire Marshal. (See Motion below.) Mrs. Welsh moved to recommend approval to City Council for MI-20-04 Text Amendment: Short Term Rental Use considering the fact that there are still ongoing discussions between the Fire Marshal and the City and they we are waiting on resolutions on those, seconded by Mrs. Malone and the motion was carried 9-0 by roll call vote. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; it seems to be very much needed for conditions in the City to be addressed. It’s very timely and she thinks that it will do a lot of good for businesses and rentals. Mr. Adams voting yes. Mr. Roach voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs. Malone voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Hartman voting yes; for the purpose stated in Section 22-356 of the proposed regulation. Mr.

Mrs. Lord voting yes; based on reasons previously stated. Dr. Jones voting yes. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for reasons previously stated although she does have reservations. She would encourage the Planning Office to track the issues and the problems that might be occurring because that would be interesting data to have. She is reluctant to make things more difficult but if there is a need for it then there is a need for it. See also the included excerpt of the DRAFT Meeting Minutes of the November 16, 2020 Planning Commission Meeting. The comments received from the other member agencies of the Development Advisory Committee (D.A.C.) are also provided. Resolution of the Discussions with Fire Marshal Staff Amendment #3 to Proposed Ordinance #2020-05 During the Development Advisory Committee review process leading up to Planning Commission review, the City’s Office of the Fire Marshal offered a series of comments on the Proposed Ordinance for Short Term Rental Uses. Concerns were expressed related to potential confusion with “lodging and rooming houses” and the types of inspections and applicable codes. Additional research occurred and a series of language changes are now proposed to the First Reading version of the Ordinance (Proposed Ordinance Staff Substitute #2 with CCW #1 for Ordinance #2020-05 for Short Term Rental Uses). In order to better address and clarify the applicability of provisions of the proposed Ordinance 2020-05, Staff asks that a Staff Amendment be offered for final consideration by City Council during the Final Reading & Action on Monday, December 14, 2020. The proposed changes presented as Staff Amendment #3 are outlined below as a series of Staff Recommendations 1-2. Staff Ordinance Current Wording of Proposed Proposed Revision (Amended Recommendation Lines Ordinance (First Reading Version) Wording) 1 51-54 (4) Short Term Rental Use (STRU) (4) Short Term Rental Use (STRU) means rental of all or a part of a means rental of all or a part of a residential one family dwelling unit residential one family dwelling for a duration of a temporary unit which is made available by occupancy of less than 30 days. agreement for a residential Rentals of 30 days or more shall occupancy by a tenant in comply with the provisions of exchange for compensation for a Divisions 1 and 2 of this Chapter. duration of a temporary occupancy of less than 30 days.

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ELEMENTS WHICH NEED TO BE ADDRESS BY THE APPLICANT: ADDITIONAL / SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN APPROVAL: 1. It needs to be determined if this is going to be considered a single-family rental or a lodging and rooming house (should be based on building and fire code definitions). 2. If it is a single-family dwelling, eliminate all lodging and rooming house language. This would then fall under a regular single-family rental license with the licensing department and code enforcement office. 3. If it is a lodging and rooming house, please see below: 4. NFPA 101 definition of Lodging and Rooming House: A building or portion thereof that does not qualify as a one- or two-family dwelling that provides sleeping accommodations for a total of 16 or fewer people on a transient or permanent basis, without personal care services, with or without meals, but without separate cooking facilities for individual occupants. 5. A one family dwelling that becomes a Lodging and Rooming House is a change in occupancy classification. Plans from an authorized/licensed design professional are required to be submitted to the Chief Building Inspector showing how code compliance will be achieved with the new occupancy. This submittal needs to be approved by the Chief Building Inspector. The one family dwelling would then need to be brought into code compliance through the approved plans. 6. 22-357, Code Enforcement should not be checking for compliance with Life Safety and Building codes (this would be done through number 5) unless it is a single-family rental.

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16, 2020 Excerpt from Meeting Minutes – Draft The Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Monday, November 16, 2020 at 7:00 PM as a Virtual Meeting using the phone/videoconferencing system WebEx due to Delaware’s Declaration of the State of Emergency for COVID-19. The Meeting Session was conducted with Chair Mrs. Maucher presiding. Members present were Mr. Adams, Mr. Roach, Mrs. Malone, Mr. Hartman, Mr. Baldwin, Mrs. Lord, Mrs. Welsh, Dr. Jones (arrived at 7:13 PM) and Mrs. Maucher. Staff members present were Mr. Dave Hugg, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Julian Swierczek, Mrs. Samantha Bulkilvish, Mr. Jason Lyon and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney. NEW APPLICATIONS MI-20-04 - Text Amendment: Short Term Rental Uses – Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council of Text Amendments outlining provisions for Short Term Rental Use (STRU) by amending Chapter 22 of the Dover Code of Ordinances, Article 12 - Definitions of the Zoning Ordinance, and Appendix F – Fees and Fines. This Ordinance establishes an annual licensing process and regulations for Short Term Rental Use of any one family dwellings for a duration of a temporary occupancy of less than 30 days. This proposed Ordinance amends definitions; establishes guidance on registration and inspection requirements; outlines owner obligations and limits on occupancy and use; and creates guidelines for enforcement, fees and penalties, and reporting. The text amendment of the Zoning Ordinance amends the definition of “family.” Ordinance: Staff Substitute #2 with CCW #1 for Ordinance #2020-05. Representatives: None Mr. Hugg stated that in the packet tonight is a relatively long explanation of why we are doing what we are trying to do with this Ordinance. Short Term Rental Uses are typically commonly referred to as Airbnbs or there are a number of other commercial corporations that basically involve an individual or family renting a property as a temporary accommodation; generally, for a couple of days or maybe a week. They are often used for things such as the family coming to Dover for Dover Downs or for the music festival or Dover Days or some event of that nature. This is an area that nationwide has become a significant concern, particularly in established residential neighborhoods where property owners for whatever reason chose not to enforce regulations and standards or standards on their renters. As a result, situations like noise, trash, parking and a variety of other kinds of concerns disrupt a quiet and established neighborhood. We are fortunate in Dover that we have not had a number of these, but we have had enough in the last couple of years that we really thought that some kind of licensing and an approval process was necessary. We have been walking this line for probably almost a year now trying to figure out what kind of regulatory scheme might make sense. He is going to read the purpose of this Ordinance because he thinks that is probably where the most significant focus is what they are trying to do. “The City of Dover wishes to permit the limited and temporary rental use of one Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2020 Page 1 of 4

Page 102

family dwellings (residences) in established areas of the City as an economic asset, allowing for increased travel, visitation and tourism and affording property owners of the opportunity to earn revenue from such occupancy, while ensuring that such uses do not become a nuisance, that neighborhood character is not compromised, and that such businesses are properly operated and maintained. The purpose of this Division shall be to minimize public safety risks and public nuisances, such as noise, trash and parking problems; to ensure that traditional neighborhoods are not turned into tourist areas to the detriment of long-term residents; and to ensure that individual dwellings are not turned into pseudo hotels or party houses.” This Ordinance does a couple of things. From a Planning Commission standpoint, the only areas that fall specifically under your jurisdiction is that we need to tweak a couple of definitions in the Zoning Ordinance. The definition of “family” some years ag, had the word “non-profit” put in it. We aren’t quite sure what that means but in the context of regulating short term rental, the word “non-profit” is probably unnecessary and maybe sort of counter intuitive. The second change in the Ordinance is to add a couple of words to the definition of “lodging house.” Which again, lodging use is referred to in a couple of additional places in Dover Code. But there were some terms like “inn” and “boarding house” that need to be part of that same definition so that we are consistently applying it. The other part of the Ordinance is to setup much like we do with the part of the Code that deals with rental housing; this is where someone rents a house and leases it to someone for a long-term rental. This is to setup a companion section of the Code that deals with Short Term Rental Uses and sets forth some standards for the behavior of owners and their visitors. The one significant provision that he would call to your attention is a response to a problem that is happening not only in Dover but nationwide. Very frequently, we are finding that outside corporations and non- resident property owners are buying these properties solely for the purpose of using them for a Short Term Rental purpose. They are avoiding most regulations; they are falling outside of the restrictions that apply to a normal bed and breakfast inn which our Ordinance very clearly addresses and falling outside of the regulations that would apply to hotels and motels and those kinds of accommodations. This Ordinance is drafted so that while we encourage Short Term Rental Uses throughout the City and that opportunity is limited only to people who are owner occupants of property in the City of Dover. That eliminates the possibility that someone from Ohio or somewhere else would buy a property in a neighborhood and regularly rent it for short term purposes. That in fact, has been a recurring issue in the City of Dover. In the interest of being totally open with the Commission, there is one unresolved issue that he has asked that the City Solicitor look at. This Ordinance provides some language dealing with the occupancy. The Fire Marshal advised me that the National Fire Code has a somewhat different standard. Not only do those two potentially conflict with each other, but he looked quickly at Ordinances that relate to Short Term Rental Uses downstate in the coast area and for whatever reason, they are exempted from or not covered by the same Fire Code. He has asked the City Solicitor to help him clarify that language, but he would ask tonight that if you agree with the intent of the Ordinance to recommend it with the understanding that a correction to that part of the Ordinance will be made before Council takes final action. During the course of developing this Ordinance, they met with some people who are actually owner/operators of Short Term Rental Uses. They took part because they were concerned about the regulations. They also Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2020 Page 2 of 4

Page 103

talked to the hotel and motel people and met with the Kent County Realtors, the Kent County Tourism Bureau and the Kent County Chamber of Commerce. This Ordinance is a reflection of the amount of discussion with them to try and ensure that we encourage these kinds of tourist related uses but don’t let neighborhoods be damaged by party houses and other kinds of activities that create disruption. Mrs. Melson-Williams clarified that the bulk of this Ordinance is actually part of what she calls the main part of Dover Code; it is not in the Zoning Ordinance. The only portion that is in the Zoning Ordinance is the definition of “family” that needs to be tweaked to remove the word “non-profit.” The only other link to zoning is that this would be permitted in one family dwellings. It really sets up a licensing program and that is covered under the main part of Dover Code. Mrs. Maucher stated that she was interested in the comments by the Code Enforcement Supervisor and there are some pretty good questions that aren’t really answered. In Section 22- 357b - clarify what they are inspecting. If she chooses to rent out her home, are they inspecting her entire home or just the rooms? Is that something that needs to be clarified? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Hugg stated that one of the things that would have to happen after the adoption of this Ordinance is a licensing document. That document would describe the portion of the property that would be subject to the license; it is both actually. There are a number of properties that they are aware of that the entire house is subject to the Short Term Use. He knows of at least one where the residents regularly take a short vacation when Firefly is happening, and they rent their entire house out to people for the event. That used to happen with Dover Downs races as well. If you search on the web for Air BNB’s near Dover, you will find that there is an array of offerings, from single rooms to a couple of bedrooms to entire properties. One of the things that they will definitely need to identify in the licensing provisions is what portion of the property that the people are licensed for. If they do not obtain a license, what is the recourse? The recourse is the same as if they don’t obtain a Rental Permit now. We ultimately can fine them. Mrs. Maucher questioned if the fines turn to liens on the properties if they are not paid? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Hugg stated that they would become a lien after a period of time. The authority is the same as a Rental Permit and is granted in this Ordinance. They had talked to the Police Department. This is an issue that we have had repeatedly; and this is why for some of these they are trying to add some standards. Most often what happens is that we have a disorderly property, we call the Police Department, the police come, and they quiet down or move their cars or we hear about it on Monday morning when the uses have ended. They have talked to the Police Department at length about not only these kinds of areas but also in some of the issues that they have with Downtown where aggressive ticketing is going to be necessary to get them message across to people in some cases. He is hoping from the discussions, the owners of these properties, most of them would welcome a set of standards that they could apply. It strengthens their hands in being able to say to somebody that they have to quit doing what they are doing. He does know that recently there was an article that the Airbnb company actually changed its standards to make them much tougher and give owners much more leeway in dealing with what they call “party houses” or houses that were rented by large groups of people for Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2020 Page 3 of 4

weekend parties. Mrs. Maucher stated that it also mentions a Good Neighbor Brochure. Is that something that is under development? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Hugg stated it is. He has actually wanted to do this for the rental side as well. We have a number of pamphlets that we give out to people and make available on the website, but we really don’t have one that sets forth “how to be a good neighbor” and that will be something that will also be finalized. The Ordinance has a period after for adoption but assuming that City Council ultimately does adopt it, then we will definitely have a new license document and a Good Neighbor Brochure. He has seen a couple that other municipalities have done, and they are relatively straight forward with saying this is what is expected and here is who you call if you have a problem. Mrs. Maucher stated that under Section 22-360 – Enforcement Fee, Penalties, Reporting. She sees that under Item D that talks about a suspension of a license and then there is some voluntary reporting that you are asking for but there is no mention of what happens if that reporting is not completed. Is there consideration to not renew licenses if some of the things are not complied with? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Hugg stated that if we have a situation where someone has a license and we have multiple complaints or issues, one of the options is to prevent them from renewing the license or to lift the license. They can suspend it just as they do now with other dwelling units. They chose not to make the reporting mandatory because they just felt that their interest is mostly to gather information and not to create the potential that we are just out to get revenue or that we are trying to get into how people use their properties any more than we otherwise would. Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the public hearing. Mrs. Welsh moved to recommend approval to City Council for MI-20-04 Text Amendment: Short Term Rental Use considering the fact that there are still ongoing discussions between the Fire Marshal and the City and they we are waiting on resolutions on those, seconded by Mrs. Malone and the motion was carried 9-0 by roll call vote. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; it seems to be very much needed for conditions in the City to be addressed. It’s very timely and she thinks that it will do a lot of good for businesses and rentals. Mr. Adams voting yes. Mr. Roach voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs. Malone voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Hartman voting yes; for the purpose stated in Section 22-356 of the proposed regulation. Mr. Baldwin voting yes. Mrs. Lord voting yes; based on reasons previously stated. Dr. Jones voting yes. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for reasons previously stated although she does have reservations. She would encourage the Planning Office to track the issues and the problems that might be occurring because that would be interesting data to have.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole met by video conference on November 24, 2020 at 6:05 p.m., with Council President Hare presiding. Members of Council present via video or telephone were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Neil, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Rocha, Mr. Taylor. Mr. Sudler and Mr. Lindell were absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present via video or telephone for their Committee meetings were Ms. Maucher (Utility), Mr. Shevock and Mr. Contant (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Council President Hare presiding. Adoption of Agenda Ms. Maucher moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Proposals - Update to the City of Dover Water Master Plan (Actionable Item) Mr. Jason Lyon, Water and Wastewater Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of proposals for the update to the City of Dover Water Master Plan. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Whitman, Requardt & Associates for the Update to the City of Dover Water Master Plan, RFP #21-0013WW, for the amount of $143,501. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lyon advised that the update to the Master Plan would include a consultant to provide a complete re-evaluation of the City water system, including the water supply, water storage and water distribution system. The plan will update the projected long term demands of the City, the water supply and new technology research for aquifer recharge, water storage and water distribution system. Mr. Lyon stated that the plan will update the projected long term demands of the City, the impact of water supply and availability of water, confirmation and calibration of the existing water model, including the water storage and distribution demands, as well as an evaluation of the existing water distribution system. He noted that the update would also provide an evaluation of existing operational practices, including public outreach to customers and provide a twenty (20) year capital outlook on improvements for the water system. Responding to Mr. Taylor regarding the price difference, Mr. Lyon advised that they were going to get a better service because of experience and level of expertise. Mr. Lyon stated that Whitman, Requardt & Associates had done more of this type of water master plan than any alternative firm. He noted that they wanted to make sure that they got the best quality candidates for this project and that was why they did it as a Request for Proposals (RFP) and not just an invitation to bid. Ms. Maucher asked if this was an update to the 2006 plan or if it was to start and take a whole new look. Responding, Mr. Lyon advised that this would start from an update and would encapsulate some additional items inside of the scope of work, not necessarily from the original 2006 master plan, but that it would be a jumping off point. He noted that then it would delve into everything that was going on in the 14 years since they opened things back up. Responding to Ms. Maucher, Mr. Lyon stated that the intent was to update these plans every 10 years and inside of the updates there would be a 20-year outlook period.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 24, 2020 PAGE 2 Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Matthew Harline, Acting City Manager, stated that they were currently working with Duffield on the water treatment plant upgrade. Mr. Harline noted that Duffield is a very competent firm, they just did not have a track record in those kinds of plans. Mr. Harline noted that half of the project would be funded by a grant. Mr. Neil moved to recommend awarding the contract to Whitman, Requardt & Associates for the Update to the City of Dover Water Master Plan, RFP #21-0013WW, for the amount of $143,501, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:16 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Council President Hare presiding in the absence of Chairman Lindell. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids - Dover Police Department - CIP Projects: Chiller, Cooling Tower & Pumps Replacement (Actionable Item) Mr. Matthew Harline, Acting City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the Dover Police Department - CIP Projects: Chiller, Cooling Tower and Pumps Replacement. Staff recommended awarding the replacement contract, based upon RFP #21-0012PD for the Furnishing and Installation of Chiller, Cooling Tower and Pumps Replacement for the City of Dover Police Department, to Service Unlimited in the amount of $362,952 based on the graded criteria. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Staff's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Emergency COVID-19 Relief Economic Retention Electric Fund (Actionable Item) Mr. Anderson moved to defer this item to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting schedule for December 15, 2020. Mr. Harline stated that he would like to discuss with Mr. Anderson and other Council members what they were looking for regarding this item. Mr. Anderson stated that they had seen and heard around downtown and at meetings that there was a real concern that businesses that had been very solid were facing challenging times that were a direct result of either infections or restrictions related to the pandemic. He stated that the city could set up a fund to avoid

Page 112

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 24, 2020 PAGE 3 the unnecessary loss of businesses. Mr. Anderson stated that there were at least four possible approaches, and they needed to determine which would be easiest for the customers, hardest to abuse, and easiest for Staff to administrate. Mr. Harline stated that the key thing to address was what their goal was and what their target was. He stated he understood that small businesses had been affected by COVID-19 and setting up certain criteria would be important. Mr. Harline stated that he spoke with Ms. Laura Wisler, Division of Small Business, and that she made some good points about how they used some funds either to sort by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code or in a different program. They had some criteria about who would qualify, if they did not have any outstanding taxes prior, or they were in good standing, and if they had their licenses. Mr. Harline advised that they needed to work out that kind of criteria. He stated that from a business standpoint, keeping customers viable in the long run would help the electric and other utilities. He stated that, looking through the accounts, they have two small commercial accounts that are on a payment plan, so targeting the right audience was going to be important. Mr. Anderson moved to defer this item to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting scheduled for December 15, 2020, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Mr. Anderson moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:23 p.m. The motion for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting was unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:23 p.m. William F.

COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL ITEM PROCEEDING: Dover City Council DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: City Manager’s Office DATE SUBMITTED December 8, 2020 PREPARED BY: Matt Harline, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Update on Grants REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: N/A REVIEWED BY: EXHIBITS: November Report for the Grant Writer EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: n/a FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): BUDGETED IMPACT: n/a BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS In July of 2020 the City filled the position of Grant Writer for the first time. The purpose was for the individual to seek out addition grant funds that would allow the City to cover costs of necessary activities and to pursue new programs with the additional funding. The goal is to have the position more than cover the personnel costs of the position with the funds from grants received. At this point that has not been accomplished, but it is still early. It is important to clearly state and to evaluate the assumptions along with the success of grants received. Keep in mind that Robin Adkins in the Police Department has $269,000 anticipated in grant funds for FY21 and $269,800 in actual awards in FY-20, plus an additional $159,500 for COVID relief (with Kay Sass and others) this year. She routinely brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars in formula grants and special grants already, Carolyn Courtney in the Parks Department wrote successful grants for $154,500 over the last two years, and the Water/Wastewater department was recently awarded a reimbursement grant for up to $100,000 for their Water Master Plan Update. That said, Grant Writer, Lisa Chase, has begun to identify numerous resources. See the report attached for an update including activities into November, as well as the October report included in the City Manager’s Report (Item 6. C.). She was promised some grant search software. We have evaluated several options and are prepared to purchase eCivis now. In addition, Lisa stepped in to submit the preliminary submission to FEMA for the Isaias Hurricane/tornado disaster response when Kay Sass was off work for a medical issue and has been working with the local rotary clubs to seek donations toward the construction of the fully accessible playground in Dover Park.
