PUBLIC HEARING - CONDEMNATION APPEALS - KENT APARTMENTS - 30 SOUTH NEW STREET
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider condemnation of Kent Apartments, 30 South New Street. Prior to opening the public hearing, Mayor McDonough requested Mr. Roe to review the condemnation procedure as it relates to Kent Apartments. The owner of the apartments is Emanuel Profaci.
Mr. Roe reviewed the following order of procedure and related material compiled by his office prior to and during notification of condemnation to the owner of Kent Apartments.
Exhibit #1 listed various violations of the building, giving notice to vacate within thirty (30) days, stipulating a plan presented to the Building Inspector’s Office if the building will be brought within compliance of the Codes. Copies of same were mailed to the Delaware Trust Company, Receiver of Taxes of Kent County and the City of Dover Tax Office.
Exhibit #2 - A request to the City Solicitor for a lien search and the results of the search; a letter from City Assessor Hayes, stating disposition of property tax payments; a letter to the City of Dover Finance Department, mandating that no new electric accounts in the building be accepted; a letter outlining transfer of ownership to Emanuel Veto Profaci.
Exhibit #3 - Compilation of tenant complaints to the Building Inspector’s Office.
Exhibit #4 - Notice from Mr. Profaci to tenants of Kent Apartments, explaining heating oil problems and listing requirements of tenants to obtain heat.
Exhibit #5 - Letters from tenants of Kent Apartments requesting leniency related to condemnation procedures.
Exhibit #6 - Copies of previous year’s State of Delaware boiler inspection reports, indicating no current certificate issued due to violations.
Exhibit #7 - Public hearing notice from the City of Dover for the purpose of appeal that include a copy of the Dangerous Building Ordinance and Housing Code.
Mr. Roe presented slides of the interior and exterior of the Kent Apartments, describing the various violations of the Housing Code, which included Section 6 - heat code, gas heaters improperly vented; inadequate structural maintenance of halls and basement that have existing fire damage; improper wiring and general unsanitary conditions.
Mr. Roe stated his opinion that the building should be completely renovated to correct existing Building Code violations or vacated and demolished because existing conditions are hazardous to tenants.
Mayor McDonough declared the hearing open.
Mrs. Sherry Cox, apartment #6/Manager of Kent Apartments, presented a letter from E. Veto Profaci, President of the apartment complex.
The letter stated that Kent Apartments has begun to comply in correcting the Building Code violations.
Mr. Profaci requested that the City Council not condemn the Kent Apartments, but instead allow adequate time to correct the violations. The letter stated that his could be completed within four (4) months.
Mrs. Cox stated that temporary wiring such as drop lights and other minor electrical violations have been corrected.
Questioned by Mayor McDonough, Mr. Roe stated that Mr. Profaci has been informed by his office that he must submit specific plans for renovation. To date, Mr. Roe has received no plans from Mr. Profaci.
Questioned by Mayor McDonough as to the absence of Mr. Profaci, Mrs. Cox stated that Mr. Profaci was present and before leaving, requested that she present the aforementioned letter, containing his signature.
Mrs. Cox stated that estimates to correct existing fire damage are now being compiled but due to the condemnation procedure, contractors are hesitant to perform any maintenance. This includes attempts to have the boiler violations corrected.
Mr. Witt informed Mrs. Cox of his personal inspections where he found soot being emitted from the heater, dead pigeons on the outside and evidence of ceilings falling in the interior. He questioned Mrs. Cox on a surcharge being billed by the owner who stated that a 3 bedroom apartment is charged $300 per heating season, a 2 bedroom is charged $260 and a 1 bedroom is charged $225. Attempts are being made by tenants to receive a fuel subsidy from local charitable institutions.
Questioned by Mrs. Cox, Mr. Roe stated that permission was granted by Mr. Profaci to enter the apartment complex to perform inspections.
Mr. Profaci had agreed to be present during the inspection procedures but did not keep the appointment.
Ms. Donna Sibley of #9 Kent Apartments, narrated picture slides of improvements to electrical fixtures and replacement of drop ceilings. The pictures also showed minor repairs to the exterior.
Mr. Boaman pointed out that replacement of the drop ceilings only conceals additional hazards in the original ceilings and electrical violations. He also pointed out that the gas hot water heaters still have not been properly vented.
Ms. Sibley stated that if the Kent Apartments are closed, the present tenants have no place to go. She informed those present that her income is $200 per month, preventing her from seeking other housing. If the property in question is condemned, Ms. Sibley demanded that Council find her other housing within her means.
Mr. Roe explained that a portion of his reasoning for condemning the building was the extremely hazardous conditions of utilizing ovens for heat, portable electrical heaters plugged into circuits unable to handle the wattage and failure by the owner to attempt proper maintenance of the apartment complex.
Mr. Witt pointed out to those present that it is not Council’s intention to create an undue hardship on the tenants, but Council has a moral and legal obligation to the tenants and their children.
Mr. James Davis of apartment #21 was present to ask why existing tenants could not be given more time to vacate, referring to Mr. Roe’s notice of 30 days.
Mr. Roe stated that the 30 day requirement is in accordance with City ordinances.
Ms. Sheryn Mainor, apartment #1, was present stating that she felt that Mr. Profaci has accomplished some improvements but possibly established wrong priorities in that he did install washers and playground equipment.
Ms. Yulanda Henry, apartment #19, was present stating that she did not feel that Mr. Profaci planned on dong anything to the facility. Ms. Henry stated her reported complaints to the owner and management of heating problems, soot, roaches and rats.
Ms. Louise Myers was present stating that she though that Mr. Profaci has tried to maintain the apartments properly, however, she admitted inadequate heat and the use of a portable electric heater. She stated her concerns for her children due to the hazards but has no alternative since she has to move and no family in the immediate area.
Ms. Sibley requested that Council consider deferring the matter for at least one week to allow time for Mr. Profaci to formulate plans fo renovation.
Mayor McDonough suggested that the tenants inform Mr. Profaci to contact Mr. Roe as soon as possible to discuss his future plans for Kent Apartments.
Mayor McDonough declared the hearing closed.
Mr. Richter moved to allow Mr. Profaci four (4) months to complete renovations, bringing Kent Apartments up to Code standards. In addition, Mr. Roe contact Mr. Profaci for more detailed plans that would accomplish said renovations. The motion was seconded by Mr. Carey.
Mr. Bewick reminded those present that only vague statements on the renovation have been submitted to Council. It was his opinion that Council needs detailed plans, with a contractor’s estimate and a guarantee that the owner is in fact going to pay for the work. The aforementioned should be submitted before the next Council Meeting and before any extension is approved.
Questioned by Mr. Weyandt, Mr. Roe stated that Mr. Profaci knew that he was to submit plans to his office. The electrical contractor was in Mr. Roe’s office and received a list of the violations at Kent Apartments. Mr. Roe informed the electrical contractor not to proceed with any work until a complete plan was submitted to Council or advise Council at the hearing concerning the owner’s plans for the building. Mr. Roe requested that Council not allow piecemeal repairs, such as work that was reported during the hearing until such time that plans are submitted and work proceeds in a proper manner with official inspections. He voiced concern with the false ceilings that conceal a multitude of violations.
Mr. Witt stated that Mr. Roe’s original notification to Mr. Profaci has afforded adequate time for the owner to present plans. He felt that Mr. Profaci is now relying on the emotionalism of the tenants to influence Council in approving an additional extension.
Mr. Weyandt felt that Council should not allow a landlord or owner to subject people who live under the conditions that exist at Kent Apartments to receive the amount of rent that the present tenants are paying, noting that Mr. Profaci has completely ignored official notice to correct the Code violations or vacate.
Mr. Weyandt moved to amend Mr. Richter’s motion, deferring the matter until the next Regular Council Meeting of March 9, 1981, giving the present tenants an opportunity to find housing during the time before the March 9th meeting. He moved that Mr. Roe send Mr. Profaci a registered letter giving seven (7) days for compliance with Mr. Roe’s letter of January 12, 1981 and if this is not accomplished, the tenants will be forced to vacate by March 9, 1981. The amendment failed for lack of a second.
Mr. Witt moved to amend Mr. Richter’s motion that would stipulate that Kent Apartment tenants be notified to vacate within thirty (30) days, unless the owner (Mr. Profaci) submits proper plans to renovate said facility within five (5) working days. The plans that are submitted will be satisfactory to the Building Inspector, the Codes of the City of Dover and State of Delaware. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bewick.
Mr. Witt asked Mr. Roe if it is possible to renovate the apartment complex with tenants occupying same.
Mr. Roe answered affirmative, providing Mr. Profaci did not rent the apartments that are now vacant. This would require a moratorium on renting that would allow shifting of existing tenants during renovations.
Mr. Witt explained that the intention of his amendment to the motion was to stipulate that not electric will be furnished to existing vacant apartments until the segment of the building has been completely renovated. This would include any repairs to the heating system that would effect any particular segment of the apartment complex.
Mr. Roe stated that he would prefer that Mr. Profaci submit plans to his office and that the plans be a commitment incorporated in the Official Council Minutes. He suggested that the tenants still be given the thirty (30) days notice to vacate. The commitment should include a specific agreement and deadlines.
Mr. Witt stated that his amendment to Mr. Richter’s motion will include a stipulation that Mr. Profaci will be present at the next Council Meeting, of March 9, 1981, to submit definite plans.
Requested by Mr. Bewick to clarify his motion, Mr. Witt stated that Mr. Profaci is being given thirty (30) days notice to vacate, beginning February 24, 1981. In addition, Mr. Profaci is to report back to Council on March 9, 1981 with full detailed plans to cover all violations that will include cost estimates and a specific contractor to perform the work. If the plans are satisfactory, Council may come up with another deadline date.
Mr. Witt’s amendment was unanimously approved.
Council agreed that approval of the amendment makes Mr. Richter’s original motion moot.
Questioned by tenants present as to the legal ramifications if Mr. Profaci does not live up to Council’s directive, Mr. Roe stated that the ordinance provides that the tenants would be arrested each day after the thirty day time limit, or charged by the City Solicitor.
1979/80 MUNICIPAL AUDIT
Mr. Bewick moved to recess into executive session to discuss the 1979/80 audit with Mr. William Manter. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boaman and approved by a roll call vote of five (5) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Witt and Mr. Richter) with Mr. Hardcastle absent.
Mayor McDonough declared Council in public session with Mr. Boaman moving that the 1979/80 municipal audit be approved as submitted. The motion was seconded by Mr. Carey and unanimously carried.

SENIOR SURREY - NON-RESIDENTS ELIGIBILITY
During the most recent Legislative and Finance Committee meeting, Mr. Mogan reported a discussion related to non-resident citizens utilizing the Senior Surrey. He informed Council that 300 of the 1,200 registered patrons of the Senior Surrey live outside the City limits.
In a continued effort to cut costs, Mr. Mogan recommended that Council approve a policy that would restrict non-residents from riding on the Senior Surrey.
Mr. Witt moved for the recommendation of the City Manager, seconded by Mr. Carey.
Questioned by Mr. Weyandt, Mr. Mogan stated that the passes now held by senior citizens for the Surrey would be validated by a sticker alleviating the necessity of issuance of new passes. The validation would be applied to only residents of the City.
It was Mr. Richter’s opinion that approval to restrict non-residents from utilizing the Senior Surrey would be very narrow minded. He felt that the life style of the City of Dover depends measurably on the contributions made by citizens living outside the limits.
Mr. Richter informed Council that the State grant given to the City for the Surrey was based on a plan that would be an alteration of said plan if the recommendation is approved. He felt that the State would re-evaluate the plan based on the City’s plan for operation of the Surrey.
Mr. Boaman thought that Mr. Richter presented a valid point and suggested that the matter be tabled for further research.
Following a general discussion on the matter, Mr. Bewick moved to table the recommendation that would restrict non-residents from riding the Senior Surrey, seconded by Mr. Witt and unanimously carried.

PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCE ELIMINATING LOADING ZONE SPACES - LOOCKERMAN STREET
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the adoption of an ordinance to eliminate loading zone spaces in front of Nationwide Insurance Company and Kohn’s Mens Store on Loockerman Street.
Mayor McDonough declared the hearing open.
Chief Klenoski reminded Council that elimination of the two loading zones would leave only one loading zone on Loockerman Street. He felt that the present tendency by commercial vehicles to double park would sharply increase if the loading zones were eliminated.
Mr. Boaman stated that the two loading zones in question are very narrow and do not accommodate commercial transports. He referred to the petition submitted by approximately 16 merchants on Loockerman Street who are in favor of eliminating the zones. He thought that the general opinion of the merchants is to eliminate the loading zones for the general convenience of the customers rather than making it convenient for commercial traffic to park on Loockerman Street.
Chief Boyer, of the Robbins hose Company, reminded Council that Loockerman Street is a main emergency route for the Fire Company to proceed east on an emergency run. He felt that commercial traffic, double parking on Loockerman Street, would substantially reduce the response time.
Mayor McDonough declared the hearing closed.
Mr. Bewick moved that the matter be referred back to the Safety Advisory Committee for additional reports from the Police and Fire Chiefs. He suggested that the usage and parking habits of commercial vehicles on Loockerman Street be observed for informational purposes to the Safety Advisory Committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Witt and unanimously carried.
PUBLIC HEARING - ELIMINATING TWO HOUR PARKING - NEW & QUEEN STREETS
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider adoption of an ordinance that would eliminate two hour parking restrictions on New and Queen Streets, between Loockerman and Reed Streets.
Mayor McDonough declared the hearing open.
There was no one present to speak for or against the ordinance and no correspondence.
Mr. Witt moved for adoption of the ordinance to eliminate two hour parking as aforementioned, upon removal of the signs designating same. The motion was seconded by Mr. Carey and by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes, one (1) absent (Mr. Hardcastle) the following ordinance was adopted.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET:
1. The Dover Municipal Code is hereby amended by deleting the two hour parking restrictions on New Street and Queen Street between Loockerman Street and Reed Street.

The Utility Committee met on February 17, 1981 at 7:30 p.m. with Chairman Bewick presiding.
Electric Billing - LeRoy Klein - 44 Victoria Circle - Royal Grant
The committee discussed a rebate request for electric usage by Mr. LeRoy Klein, President of the Ottawa Building Company, residing at 44 Victoria Circle in Royal Grant. Mr. Klein was charged a commercial rate for his residence which is all-electric. During the construction of his home, the electric usage was charged to the Ottawa Building Company in accordance with City policy. After completion of the residence, Mr. Klein requested that the bills continue to be sent to the company but did not notify the City Electric Department to change the rate or category of billing.
By motion of Mr. Weyandt, the committee recommended that Mr. Klein be reimbursed for July and August of 1980.
During the committee meeting, Mr. Bewick did not agree with the recommendation, stating that the City’s policy is to reimburse for the current fiscal year under accepted circumstances.
Mr. Weyandt moved for the recommendation of the committee, seconded by Mr. Witt and carried by a vote of five (5) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Bewick and Mr. Richter) with Mr. Hardcastle absent.
Middle West Service Company
Mr. Mogan informed the Utility Committee that in accordance with the bond indenture, the City must hire an engineer to overview the Electric Department for the bond holders. The former consultants, Middle West Service Company, has dissolved its firm. The company has been taken over by a faction of employee engineers, formerly with the old company. The company is now known as Middle West Service Company RWSWA. Mr. Mogan requested that the company hire the aforementioned company as the engineer for the Electric Department of the City of Dover.
The committee recommended approval of Mr. Mogan’s request.
Mr. Bewick moved for the recommendation of the committee, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and unanimously carried.
Storer Cable Television - Monthly Overcharge
Mr. Bewick informed Council that the committee discussed the addition 3¢ levied by Storer Cable Television on their monthly bill. In a preliminary meeting, Storer suggested that they would not reimburse a 3¢ overcharge but would discontinue the practice in the future.
Mr. Bewick informed Council that the committee did not agree with the statement that Storer would not reimburse the 3¢ overcharge and felt that further discussion should take place on the matter.
Mr. Bewick moved for approval of the Utility Committee Report as submitted, seconded by Mr. Carey and unanimously carried.
