PUBLIC HEARING - 768 WALKER ROAD - LOUIS & MARGARET EDGELL
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the recognizing of a property located at 768 Walker Road, owned by Louis and Margaret Edgell. Mayor Legates declared the hearing open.
Attorney Max Terry, Jr. was present, representing Mr. & Mrs. Edgell in the rezoning. Mr. Terry stated that the Planning Commission had referred the matter of the rezoning to the Board of Adjustments for a ruling on the section of the Code concerning luncheonettes and restaurants in relation to the traffic that the business would create. He reminded Council that the rezoning would not change the established mode of business, and that the property is presently zoned commercial. He stated that the surrounding properties are zoned manufacturing and commercial. The request for rezoning was initiated to comply with the requirements for a restaurant versus a luncheonette type business.
Mr. Charles Reynolds, President of the Woodcrest Civic Association, was present to speak against the rezoning and presented a petition containing 150 signatures. The petition pointed out the hazards of the increased traffic that might be generated and the fact that alcoholic beverages would be served in close proximity to the elementary school and the Dover High School.
Mr. David Perman was present to speak against the rezoning, stating that the proposed rezoning permitting a restaurant goes beyond a neighborhood food service, suggesting that it would draw people outside of the community which could cause a traffic problem.
It was his opinion that consideration of the request would introduce spot zoning and create a hazard to vehicular traffic and pedestrians stemming from consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Mr. Roe stated that the Land Use Map specifies schools and public services in this location and the present zoning of C-1A or C-2A does not conform. However, the location in question pre-dates the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. McDonough stated that if he were a resident of the area, he would not be sympathetic to the rezoning. He added that Council is being asked to bless something that is already in operation that should not have existed originally.
Mayor Legates declared the hearing closed.
Mr. McDonough moved for denial of the request for rezoning. The motion failed for lack of a second.
Mr. Bewick moved to refer the rezoning to the Board of Adjustments prior to Council decision as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. McDonough.
A lengthy discussion on the procedure of the referral followed the motion, with Mr. Muir calling for the question.
Mr. McDonough called for a vote on the call for the question. By a vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no - Mr. McDonough and Mr. Witt - the motion was carried.
By a roll call vote of six (6) no, two (2) yes - Mr. McDonough and Mr. Bewick - the motion for referral to the Board of Adjustments failed.
Mr. Witt moved that the property be rezoned from C-1A to C-2A. The motion was seconded by Mr. Weyandt. By a roll call vote of seven (7) yes, one (1) no - Mr. McDonough - the motion was carried and Council adopted the following ordinance.

CANCELLATION - PUBLIC HEARING - RUDOLPH & TEEDIE BROWN - 1249 WALKER ROAD

He recommended that the rezoning be referred to the Planning Commission for their meeting of November 21, 1977 and that a public hearing be held on November 28, 1977.
Mr. McDonough moved for Mr. Roe’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Witt and unanimously carried.

The Utility Committee met on October 17, 1977 at 7:00 p.m. with Chairman Bewick presiding.
Manchester Square - Acceptance of Streets
Mr. Bewick referred to a request to accept the streets in Manchester Square, owned by the Dover Housing Authority. The Committee voted to defer action on this matter until an Agreement, dated December 6, 1966 between the City of Dover and the Dover Housing Authority, could be reviewed by staff who voiced objections to acceptance of the streets.
An addendum to the Committee Minutes stated that staff withdrew their objections based on the Agreement, which states that the City will accept dedication of streets in any Dover Housing Authority project.

Thursday and Friday collections would revert to the regular collection day.

ONE YEAR PROHIBITION ON REZONING APPLICATIONS
Mr. Roe informed Council that the Planning Commission, in June of 1977, voted to recommend a prohibition of one (1) year on rezoning applications for the same purpose at the same location.
Mr. McDonough stated that rarely does Council have to act on a rezoning for the same purpose and property. He wondered if it would cause undue inconvenience to a person who might purchase a property after refusal of a particular rezoning by Council and wondered if the question should be addressed at all.
Mr. Witt moved for denial of the rezoning amendment, seconded by Mr. Muir. Council by a unanimous roll call vote approved the denial.
PETER KIRCH REQUEST TO PURCHASE LAND ON GARDEN LANE
Mr. Roe informed Council that Mr. Scotton, an adjacent property owner, was present at the Planning Commission meeting expressing his concern about the sale of the City right-of-way.

Mr. Muir moved to approve the recommendation of the Planning Commission, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and unanimously carried.
REPORT ON STUDY OF FIRE SIREN LOCATIONS
In studying the survey that was submitted by the Federal Siren and Signal Company, Mr. Weyandt interpreted the contents as meaning that the siren located at Wyoming and Governors Avenues could be moved to honor a petition of local residents.
Chief Kemp disagreed, stating that it was his interpretation that the study recommended leaving the sirens in their present location to serve the people in specific areas. He added that the company was notified that a problem existed with the residents in the area of Wyoming and Governors Avenues in regards to the noise level.
The survey recommends a higher pitched siren which does not produce the vibration level of the one now serving in that location. It further recommended the purchase of four new sirens at an approximate cost of $4,300 to serve various locations and bolster the audible alert level.
Mr. Witt reminded Council that moving sirens could effect the insurance rate in the Robbins Hose fire district.
Mr. Hardcastle requested a consideration by Mr. Weyandt to withdraw his motion to facilitate a further motion on the matter.
Mr. Weyandt withdrew his motion to move the siren located in the area of Governors and Wyoming Avenues, as did Mr. McDonough his second.
Mr. Hardcastle moved to accept the survey for informational purposes only. The motion was seconded by Mr. Muir and unanimously carried.
Mr. Hardcastle suggested that the matter of moving sirens should be carefully studied since one request usually results in several.
Before consideration of the survey by Federal Siren and Signal Company, he felt it advisable to obtain other opinions on relocation and additional sirens.
Mr. Bewick moved the Chief Kemp study the survey and prepare a report for Council consideration. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hardcastle and unanimously carried.

VOTER REGISTRATION MERGER WITH KENT COUNTY
Mayor Legates referred to a letter written to members of Council by Mr. Willis relating to a meeting with the Kent County Board of Elections to discuss a voter registration merger.
The letter indicated that the Kent County Board has voted affirmative to approve the concept of a County - City merger. Mr. Willis explained that before initial work began in the Office of the City Clerk to initiate the merger it was important that Council affirm their approval of such action since a Charter amendment would be involved.
Mr. Witt moved that the subject of a City of Dover - Kent County registration merger be referred to the Legislative and Finance Committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Muir and unanimously carried.
