LEGISLATIVE AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

The Legislative and Finance Committee met on August 13, 1991 with Chairman Weyandt presiding.

South Governors Avenue Property Investigation

City Planner, Ed Cregar, submitted a report resulting from the Department of Inspections' investigation and evaluation of the complaints and concerns expressed by the residents in the area of South Governors Avenue from Division Street to Reed Street. Resulting from their investigation, staff made the following recommendations:

1)There is no way for the City to prove when the conversations were created and who was responsible and because the properties have been transferred to new owners with the units in place, staff believes that the City should grant a temporary legal-non-conforming status to those properties that do not comply with the minimum requirements.

2)The non-conforming status would remain with the property for the length of the ownership of the current owner. When the property would be resold in the future, the condition of the property would have to be returned to a conforming use.

3)All multiple-occupancy structures must apply for a Multiple Occupancy Permit. This will assist the City in maintaining an accurate record and inventory of the units in this area.

4)The property owners will apply for and provide adequate trash containers for the occupancy at each structure.

5)The property owners will secure the required off-street parking per dwelling unit. In those cases where the limitations of the lot will not allow for parking to be provided, the City shall require parking spaces to be leased at the Governors Avenue or Bradford Street parking lots.

6)The moratorium on conversions should be codified by making conversions a Conditional Use with a public hearing before the Planning Commission. This will require an ordinance change. Conversions approved after the change will be required to show how all conditions of the ordinance will be met. Life safety issues, parking and number of units permitted would all be a part of the application approval process.

Several members of Council voiced their concern with the concept of grandfathering the non-conforming structures. They felt that all properties should be required to conform to the provisions of the Zoning Code.

The committee recommended that staff require all properties to be brought into compliance in accordance with the Zoning Code. Mr. Weyandt moved for approval of the committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried.

The committee recommended that staff be authorized to prepare an ordinance amendment that would make conversions a conditional use and require a public hearing. Mr. Weyandt moved for approval of the committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried.

The committee recommended that Council charge the Inspections Department staff to continue their inspections throughout the entire City. Mr. Weyandt moved for approval of the committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried.

Assessments Procedures - Amendments to Section 18.7-2 of Dover Code

Resulting from appeals on the U.S. Route #113 water main assessment, the committee has been reviewing the notification procedures to property owners for water and sewer assessments for possible revisions. The committee recommended that Section 18.7-2 of the Dover Code be amended to provide for notification of water or sewer main assessments to each affected property owner after bids are received, including the estimated front foot assessment based on the low bid.

As directed by the committee during their meeting of July 23, 1991, staff revised the proposed amendment and recommended that Council adopt an ordinance that would require notification to all property owners adjacent to an assessment project at the time design work is to begin, with an additional notification following the receipt of bids.

The committee recommended approval of the proposed amendment to Section 18.7-2 of the Dover Code.

Mr. Weyandt moved for approval of the committee's recommendation, noting that the first reading of the proposed ordinance will take place at the end of the meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried.

Water Assessments Appeals - Amendment to Section 18.7-9 of Dover Code

Staff was directed to develop an ordinance for water and sewer main assessments that would state the policies regarding the methods of determining an individual property's assessment. Section 28 of the Charter addresses the power of Council to levy assessments for public improvements and Chapter 18.7 of the Code of Ordinances addresses the procedures for notification, payment, and appeals of special assessments. In the past, the mechanisms for determining the front foot charges have been in policy form. Staff submitted a proposed ordinance which includes a requirement that maximum front foot charges be set.

The committee recommended approval of the proposed amendment to Section 18.7-9 of the Dover Code.

Mr. Weyandt moved for approval of the committee's recommendation, noting that the first reading of the proposed ordinance will take place at the end of the meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried.

The committee also recommended that the maximum front foot charges for fiscal year 1991-92 be set at $30 per front foot for water mains and $40 per front foot for sewer mains.

Mr. Weyandt moved for approval of the committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried.

Purchase of Senior Surrey Bus

Each year the City purchases a new surrey bus to replace an older model on a five-year rotation basis. The Delaware Transportation Authority reimburses the City 100% for the purchase of the surrey bus. Last fiscal year, staff intended to piggyback on the DAST order for vans but was not informed until very late that DAST was ordering full-sized vans and not the smaller converted vans used by the surrey service. Therefore, staff had to submit bids for the surrey bus and was not able to place an order for fiscal year 1990/91 until June 10, 1991. Staff recommended that a purchase order be issued to the lowest bidder, Chesapeake Bus and Equipment Co., in the amount of $31,500.

Noting that the bid was requested near the beginning of fiscal year 1991/92, staff requested the vendor to hold the bid price of $31,500 for the purchase of another vehicle in fiscal year 1991/92. The vendor agreed to staff's request.

The committee recommended that a purchase order be issued to Chesapeake Bus and Equipment Co. in the amount of $31,500. Mr. Weyandt moved for approval of the committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lynn and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. VanSant absent).

Mr. Weyandt moved for acceptance of the Legislative and Finance Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Parks and Recreation Committee met on August 13, 1991 with Chairman Daisey presiding.

Proposal on Radio Control Car Track - Gordon Cockburn III

Mr. Gordon Cockburn submitted a proposal for a radio control car track. He advised members that citizens of Dover that participate in running radio control cars are requesting that the City consider providing a paved track at the Schutte Park for the sport. Mr. Cockburn showed a video cassette on the use of radio control cars.

The committee recommended that the proposal for a radio control car track be referred to staff for further evaluation and a recommendation to the committee.

Preliminary Master Plan - Schutte Park

A workshop on the Preliminary Master Plan for the Schutte Park was held on August 12, 1991. Members of the committee expressed some concern with the necessary funding of the plan as presented by Sasaki, Inc. A final plan will be considered by the committee during their September meeting.

Mr. Daisey moved for acceptance of the Parks and Recreation Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.

SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT

The Safety Advisory Committee met on August 13, 1991 with Chairman Salters presiding.

Designation of Handicapped Parking Space - Southern Barristers - 26 The Green

The owners of the property at 26 The Green, Southern Barristers, Inc., submitted a letter requesting a designated handicapped parking space at 26 The Green. The request is a modification to a previously approved Site Plan and Architectural Review Certification which was originally granted by the Planning Commission on November 19, 1990. Since the proposed modification involves the parking and improvements within the public right-of-way, the Planning Commission felt that it would be out of it's purview to consider such a request without the consent of City Council. Therefore, the Planning Commission tabled the matter during their meeting of April 15, 1991.

Representing Southern Barristers, Mr. Kevin Howard explained that they felt that the handicapped ramp at the rear of their property would interfere with the aesthetics of the property; therefore, have requested a designated handicapped parking space in the front of their property. The City Planner informed the committee that the owners have already made the changes to the Site Plan prior to receiving Council or the Planning Commission's approval.

The committee recommended denial of the request to reserve parking space on The Green for handicapped accessibility and for revisions to the Approved Site Plan.

Mr. Salters moved for acceptance of the committee's recommendation to deny the request, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.

Public Hearing - Residential Parking Permits/Two Hour Parking - Woodcrest Drive, Wilson Drive and Terry Circle

During their meeting of July 23, 1991, the committee considered a petition from residents on Woodcrest Drive, Terry Circle, and Wilson Drive, requesting two hour parking restrictions. The residents felt that the restriction would help control the loitering and other related problems from students at Dover High School that park their vehicles in the development. The committee was advised that there were several residents of Woodcrest Drive that object to the parking restrictions. The committee tabled action to allow residents the opportunity to present a petition from those objecting to the restrictions. A public hearing was held during the committee meeting of August 13, 1991. After hearing objections from some of the residents to the proposed two hour parking, committee members noted that over 30 citizens signed both the petition for the restrictions and against the restrictions. There was discussion on the possibility of closing the fence between Dover High School and Woodcrest.

The committee tabled action on the matter to allow staff the opportunity to further investigate the feasibility of closing the gate.

With consent of Council, Mr. Bill McGlumphy, new principal at Dover High School addressed Council, assuring them that Dover High School will work with the City and the residents of Woodcrest to resolve this problem. All students will be encouraged to utilize the parking facilities at Dover High School in an effort to contain student parking on school grounds.

There was no further action on the matter.

Mr. Salters moved for acceptance of the Safety Advisory Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.

UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT

The Utility Committee met on August 13, 1991 with Acting Chairman Levitt presiding.

Request to Waive Subdivision Regulations - K.C. Sheth - Lands Located on the Southerly Side of College Road

During their meeting of June 11, 1991, the committee tabled action on the request for waiver from the subdivision regulations for lands located on the southerly side of College Road, owned by K.C. Sheth, pending review and recommendations from the DAC and Robbins Hose Company.

The Planning Commission has reviewed the request and made the following recommendations:

    1)  Support the proposed subdivision design decision with a cul-de-sac street length of 540'+/-.

    2)  That a 28' pavement width, for a low traffic volume street such as this, would be adequate and would not represent an unreasonable request. The right-of-way width would remain 60'.

    3)  Off street parking shall be prohibited along the southerly side of the street and the cul-de-sac. "No Parking" signs shall be required to notify the public.

4)A forestry lane shall be placed on the south side of lot #8 to provide access to the wooded area.

The committee recommended approval of the Planning Commission's recommendations.

Mr. Levitt moved for approval of the recommendations, seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried.

Bid - Ross Street Water Main

In conjunction with the 1991-96 Capital Improvements Plan, bids for the Ross Street water main were requested for the replacement of approximately 1,250 feet of existing 4-inch water main with a new 8-inch main. The limits of construction of Ross Street will be from Governors Avenue to Fairview Avenue West Alley. The project is designed to eliminate the shallow main which freezes in severe cold. There are also eight house services on the existing main which are susceptible to freezing. Financing for this project will be through the City's water fund. The low bid was received from Teal Construction, Inc., in the amount of $48,487.00. The engineer's estimate was $80,007.50. The committee recommended the a purchase order be issued to Teal Construction, Inc., in the amount of $48,487.00.

Mr. Levitt moved for approval of the committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. VanSant absent).

Garbage Truck Repairs

Major maintenance problems are continuing to occur with the RAND garbage trucks. The City Manager explained that the bodies on the trucks have worn out. Noting that the replacement of two bodies is scheduled for next year, staff recommended that one body be replaced this year in lieu of purchasing the crane refuse truck that was included in the budget. The money that has been reserved for the crane truck would be used to purchase a Rapid Rail body, at a cost of $42,466. Rapid Rail has indicated that they will give us 30-day turnaround if we can get our chassis to their factory in Phoenix.

The committee recommended that staff be authorized to purchase a Rapid Rail body at a cost of $42,466.

Mr. Levitt moved for approval of the committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. VanSant absent).

Mr. Levitt moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Daisey and unanimously carried.
