PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider approval of a zoning text amendment to Article VI, Section F - Parks, Open Space, School Sites and Natural Features of Land and Article 5, Section 10 - Open Space, Recreation and Other Public Facilities.
A subcommittee reviewed the current Open Space ordinances and recommended several changes. The proposal was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Committee and approved by City Council during their meeting of February 13, 1995 at which time the first reading of the proposed amendments was accomplished. Since the ordinances would amend the zoning text, a public hearing is required.
Mr. Hare moved for acknowledgement of the final reading of the ordinance, by title only, seconded by Mrs. Malone and unanimously carried.
Assistant City Planner, Mr. Mike Petit de Mange, explained that the proposed ordinance deletes current open space requirements in the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Ordinances and reconstitutes them with several new provisions to create a unified Recreation, Open Space, and Public Facilities section in the zoning ordinance. The major changes are: 1) Requires the creation of open space and recreation areas for all residential developments, not just subdivisions as previously required. 2) Recognizes and requires the creation of two types of open space: active recreation areas and passive open space for buffering and preservation of natural features. 3) Requires that active recreation areas include the construction of recreation facilities; not simply the reservation of land. 4) The amount of recreation area required is based on the number of dwelling units multiplied by 275 S.F. and not a simple reservation of a 10% of land as previously required; it is therefore density sensitive. 5) Open space for buffering and natural area preservation is still based on a percentage (5%) basis. 6) Greater emphasis on maintenance and ownership by homeowner associations and developers, instead of the City. 7) Provides specific definitions and guidelines for the development of open space and recreation facilities.
Council President Christiansen declared the hearing open.
Mr. George Chabbott stated that representatives of the realtors and developers worked with City officials on the development of the ordinance and do not object to its adoption.
Council President Christiansen declared the hearing closed.
Mr. Tudor questioned how Council can ensure that all developers are being treated equally in regards to the open space ordinance. Mr. Petit de Mange referred to Section 10.16 of the ordinance which sets the standards for the percentage of land donations.
Mr. Hare moved for approval of the zoning text amendments. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Malone and by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted the following ordinances:

Police Department
Chief J.R. Smith submitted the 1994 Annual Report of the Police Department:
Mr. Salters noted that the report reflects that the number of crimes in the City are down and Mr. Lambert noted that the report also reflects that the percentage of the number of crimes solved is higher in the City of Dover than the national average. Referring to the two matters noted, Mr. Hare stated that they are the result of excellent employees doing a great job. All members of Council relayed their appreciation to Chief Smith and all members of the Police Department for their contributions and devotion to the City of Dover.

UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT
The Utility Committee met on February 27, 1995 with Chairman Lambert presiding.
Proposed Increased Water Rates
During their meeting of December 12, 1994, the Utility Committee recommended approval of a proposal for increased water rates. However, during their meeting of January 9, 1995, Council delayed action to allow the City Manager time to research the concept of tiered rates that would be based upon consumption and cost of service. Mr. O'Connor submitted a proposal that would set varying water rates, based upon consumption, as follows:
Up to 200,000 gallons - $1.90 per 1,000 gallons
201,000 to 400,000 gallons - $1.75 per 1,000 gallons
401,000 to 600,000 gallons - $1.65 per 1,000 gallons
601,000 gallons and above - $1.60 per 1,000 gallons
The proposed rates are designed in order to generate approximately $230,000 of monies towards the operation, maintenance and manning of the water plant. At the current time, we are still utilizing the quarterly billing system. It is hoped that by the summer of 1995, the billing system will be converted to a monthly system, billed along with electric bills. The City could then have customer electric and water meters read by the same reader and would send both charges out on one postcard.
The committee recommended approval of the proposed water rates, effective for April 1, 1995 billings.
Questioned by Mr. Weyandt, Mr. O'Connor stated that the majority of residential water customers will fall within the first category of up to 200,000 gallons. The lower rates will be utilized by those with very high consumption, which will be business that require extensive water consumption to operate.
Mr. Lambert moved for approval of the committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hare and by a unanimous roll call vote, the following Resolution was approved:
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING VARYING WATER RATES, BASED UPON CONSUMPTION.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET:
Section 1. The Council of the City of Dover hereby establishes varying water rates, based upon consumption, as follows:
Within City Outside City

401,000 to 600,000 gallons - $1.65 per 1,000 gallons $2.48 per 1,000 gallons
601,000 gallons and above - $1.60 per 1,000 gallons $2.40 per 1,000 gallons
Section 2. The above water rates shall be effective for April 1, 1995 billings.
Section 3. All other fees, charges and provisions shall remain the same.
ADOPTED: March 13, 1995
