COMMUNICATIONS & REPORTS

Summary of Applications for 2017 and 2018

Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the architect working on the Governor’s Café Kitchen Addition

has been working with the City’s Fire Marshal Office and the Building Inspector to sort out

some things related to what will be their Building Permit submission and the discussion of Building

Codes.

For 2018, the Referral of the Fence Permit at 401 South Governors Avenue was approved based

on the discussion at the meeting, but she does not believe the Permit has been issued. She is not

aware of the status at the current time. It was a potential new business at that location.

Chairman McDaniel asked if it was the Doggy Daycare business. Mrs. Melson-Williams replied

yes.

Summary of Architectural Review Certifications for 2018

Mrs. Melson-Williams stated with the Architectural Review Certifications there were 37 Permits

through October 31, 2018 in the Historic District. There were nine (9) building exterior, six (6)

Roof Permits, five (5) signs/temporary signs, and four (4) fence permits, one (1) demolition and

one (1) siding, and eleven (11) others.

Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that one of the permits appeared before the Historic District

Commission as an update. Most of the permits were for projects that were eligible for Staff review

CITY OF DOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION NOVEMBER 15, 2018

2

of the permit or in the cases of about nine (9) of the permits did not require Architectural Review

Certification because they were strictly an interior renovation project or where the project work

was being done is not visible from the public way.

Chairman McDaniel asked where 19 North American Avenue was located. Mrs. Melson-Williams

replied is a half of a duplex in the first block of North of Division Street.

Mr. Czerwinski asked about Permit #18-471 at 25 West Loockerman Street that included

replacement of siding, windows, a new metal roof on pent roof, removal of shutters and removal

of projecting box sign. He was concerned and had a problem that in his opinion Staff was

exceeding their approval limits. This is the second time since the corner building that we have had

a major façade change to a building without it coming in front of the Historic District Commission.

He mentioned that he had a major problem with that. There were a lot of changes made to the

building. He did not have a problem with the building and thinks it looks nice and they did a great

job, but his problem is that a major renovation was done of the façade of the building without it

coming before the Historic District Commission. If you look at the siding it is vinyl and very well

done but is not necessarily accurate to the building. He has a problem with the Staff approval

because these are major renovations to the façade of the building. The Golden Fleece Tavern made

changes that the Historic District Commission was not informed about and now the Dover News

Stand as well as the corner lot of State and Loockerman Street (the changes of the lawyer’s office).

He considers these major events.

Chairman McDaniel asked what triggers a permit to come before the Historic District Commission

verses Staff approval. Mrs. Melson-Williams replied the Zoning Ordinance actually describes in

Article 10 Section 3.2 which deals with the Historic District Commission and Architectural

Review Certification the levels of review. She will make sure the Commission has a copy of the

Zoning Ordinance. She stated that the Code outlines the specific classes of Building Permits that

the City Planner can do regarding the Architectural Review Certification. The next step is the type

of things that require the Historic District Commission and the third level is involving the Planning

Commission.

Chairman McDaniel mentioned that he would like to have a copy. If they wanted to change

anything what would be the steps? Mrs. Melson-Williams replied if the Commission wanted to

change any of the review thresholds that is an Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. It is an

Ordinance Amendment process where the Commission could put forth suggestions and

amendments and then it would go through review of public hearing by the Planning Commission

and City Council.

Chairman McDaniel mentioned that he would like to know more. He would like to see a copy of

the Ordinance as previously mentioned and once they have had a chance to review the Ordinance

then the Commission can have a discussion. Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that she will give

copies to the members before the next meeting. She mentioned that Ordinance can also be accessed

on-line.

There was a brief discussion of the Ordinance and what permits should come before the Historic

District Commission and which Permits should be approved by Staff as discussed in previous


3

meetings. There were on-going concerns regarding projects having major changes in the Historic

District that did not come before the Commission for any input.

Department of Planning & Inspections Update

Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Staff have been working on the Comprehensive Plan and will

discuss this later in the meeting. She stated that overall in the Department there is a vacancy in the

Code Enforcement Division, but a new person will be starting shortly. However, one of our front

office staff, Courtney Kenton, took on a new position close to her field with Child Care Licensing

with the State of Delaware. Currently, the Office Assistant II position is posted.

NEW BUSINESS

Review of Permits Referred to Commission.

Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that there was no review of Permits referred to Commission. She

stated that there is a Permit in for review for 316 South Governors Avenue, the Old Brick Church.

It had a roof project that was already underway. There were some repointing and HVAC

improvements, repairs, and replacements. She stated that she just received a Permit for a project

at the Murphey School, but it was nothing that needed to be referred to the Commission.

Mr. McDaniel commented that the roof looks nice.

Annual Meeting Historic District Commission

Election of Chairman and Vice Chairman

Mrs. Melson-Williams briefly discussed the By-Laws for the Historic District Commission. Mr.

McDaniel became Chairman of the Historic District Commission in August 2016 and the Vice-

Chairman has the same 6-year term limit. Ms. Horsey has served for 3 years as the Vice-

Chairman.

Mr. McDaniel mentioned that he and Ms. Horsey would be willing to run again; however, if

anyone else would like to take one of those positions that would be fine.

Mr. Czerwinski moved to reelect by acclamation Mr. McDaniel as Chairman for the Historic

District Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Street and unanimously carried 4-0.

Mr. Czerwinski moved to reelect by acclamation Ms. Horsey as Vice Chairman for the Historic

District Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Street and unanimously carried 4-0.

Meeting & Deadline Draft Schedule for 2019

Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the meeting date will remain as the third (3rd) Thursday of each

month at 3:00pm. The deadline date to file an application has to be at least 30 days prior to the

meeting date. The Meeting and Deadline Schedule for 2019 was provided to all members. The By-

laws state that the Historic District Commission meeting must meet quarterly.


4

Mr. McDaniel asked if the Historic District Commission had to meet quarterly. He questioned if it

was necessary to meet quarterly if there were no applications. Mrs. Melson-Williams replied yes, the

Historic District Commission is required to meet quarterly. The Commission agenda must be set ten

days prior to your meeting date. If there is any sense that we are going to have a Permit that needs to

be referred to the Commission or anticipate one coming in, they will probably post the agenda as a

meeting.

Mr. McDaniel mentioned that he believes in quick turnaround and being available to the applicants.

Mr. Czerwinski asked about the changing of the meeting date. Mrs. Melson-Williams replied that

it has not been looked at extensively. There are opportunities in the next calendar year where the

Historic District Commission meeting date will fall before the Planning Commission. It is possible

that it may be looked at through the Comprehensive Plan on how the meeting is structured.

Mr. McDaniel asked when the Planning Commission met. Mrs. Melson-Williams replied the third

Monday of each month. The By-Laws does allow for Special Meetings to be called, but there are

limitations on actions that can be taken due to the requirements of public notice involvement.

Ms. Mason asked if a member should let Staff know if they do not plan to attend a meeting. Mrs.

Melson-Williams replied yes, if we have an application, we want to make sure there is a quorum.

Ms. Mason mentioned that she will not be able to attend the meeting on December 20, 2018.

Certified Local Government (CLG) Program

Update on Submission of FFY2018 CLG Grant Application

Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the grant application is related to preparation of the Historic

Preservation Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff continues to work on it, but we still do

not have a Grant Agreement in hand. With the CLG Program, the grant typically runs from July

through June.

Project for Dover’s 2019 Comprehensive Plan

a) Update on Project Activities

b) Update on Working Group Meeting for “Partners in Preservation: Planning for the

Future” - Delaware’s Historic Preservation Plan 2018-2022

c) Review of Preliminary Draft of Goals and Recommendations

d) Continued Discussion of Historic Preservation Chapter

Update on Project Activities

Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Staff gave an update to the City Council Committee of the

Whole last night. In September, City Staff had the opportunity to present to a class at Wesley

College about the Comprehensive Plan and do some interaction with the college students and

others.

Mr. McDaniel asked if Staff thought they received some meaningful comments from Wesley

College. Mrs. Melson-Williams replied yes, they mentioned an Internet Café (as an idea). Mrs.

Melson-Williams felt the Café would have a captive audience.


5

Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that Staff have been constantly meeting with various City

Departments and State Agencies to gather information about particular topic areas. Staff have

sent letters and begun conversations with our adjacent municipalities part of the

intergovernmental coordination requirement. Staff have meet with the Town of Cheswold, and

Town of Little Creek. There are also ongoing conversations with the Town of Camden and Kent

County. Staff has not heard from the Town of Wyoming.

Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that the thing of note specifically is a copy of the Preliminary

Draft Goals and Recommendations for the Comprehensive Plan have been released. They are

doing a Staff review because each chapter have been written by someone on our Staff.

Update on Working Group Meeting for “Partners in Preservation: Planning for the Future” -

Delaware’s Historic Preservation Plan 2018-2022

Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that since the last meeting she participated in a Working

Group Meeting for “Partners in Preservation: Planning for the Future” - Delaware’s Historic

Preservation Plan. They convened a variety group of individuals that are somehow tied to

Historic Preservation. They looked at implementing the State’s Historic Preservation Plan.

Copies of that document were given to members of the Historic District Commission.

Review of Preliminary Draft of Goals and Recommendations

Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that included in the packet were the goals. The document is posted

on the City’s website. She asked if there were any questions. If members had not reviewed the

document, she asked that they review the document for any questions or discussion. There are

also two map series that have been issued. The maps are related to Land Development Plan and

Annexation areas.

Review of Preliminary Draft of Goals and Recommendations

Continued Discussion of Historic Preservation Chapter

Mr. Czerwinski stated that he reviewed the Historic Preservation section and he thought it was

very well written. He did not have anything to add or take away from it. He liked the document.

Mr. McDaniel commented on the Tax Credit Program for Historic Properties. He talked to a few

people who are just not aware that such a program exists and of course you need approvals

before you start the construction. When someone comes to the office for a Permit in the Historic

District, does anyone mention the program?

Mrs. Melson-Williams and Mr. Czerwinski replied that this was previously discussed that the

information could be on the Permit application highlighting the Tax Credit information within

the Historic District.

Mr. McDaniel asked the question because his neighbors Schmittinger & Rodriguez did extensive

work to a building in the Historic District and they were not aware of the Tax Credit.


6

Ms. Mason mentioned that normally this information is provided in your paperwork by the

mortgage company or the person doing the title search or the attorney handling the settlement

when you go to closing on a property.

Mr. McDaniel mentioned that in this case there were two (2) examples of attorneys in the

Historic District who were not aware of the Tax Credit.

Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned if you look under the Tax Credit information provided on page

5 Goal #2 which is to provide and promote incentives for preservation activities.

Recommendation #7 is the Tax Credit Program for Historic Properties. The first thing is to

continue the program we have and promote awareness of the program. You will find in the

preservation section that there is more emphasis on the public outreach that falls into Goal #3.

We found that the outreach was one of the things that needed to happen. There are brochures for

the Historic Tax Credit Program that also talks about the Downtown Development District area

which has another whole set of incentives. Some of them may not be in the District but the Tax

Credit information is being passed along. Typically, when a Permit comes in the office it is

submitted by the contractor; it is not the property owner. The property owner is the one that can

claim all the Tax Credit. Anytime there is a big project it is an opportunity for Staff to mention

the Tax Credit programs for the City, State and Federal. Even at the State level they have had the

same issue of people not knowing about the program.

Mr. McDaniel mentioned that the State has tightened up the process.

Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that the State program has had some procedural changes. She

would imagine with that becoming finalized they may go out with some type of outreach effort

for the new requirements for the State program.

Mr. McDaniel mentioned that Joan Larivee was very good, but she is now retired.

Mr. McDaniel asked if the Façade Program was still available. Mrs. Melson-Williams replied

yes, and it is getting good use. 25 West Loockerman Street is a participant of the program and its

called the Downtown Dover Partnership Façade Improvement Grant Program. She believes that

Schmittinger & Rodriguez was also a part of that grant program.

Mr. McDaniel mentioned again the Façade Improvement Program has to be approved before you

start the project. He recalls receiving funds for improvements to a building from the Façade

Improvement Grant program. He stated that he likes the way the program is written; it is just the

execution.

Mr. Czerwinski suggested that it be a requirement that the owner of the property sign a briefing

sheet regarding the benefits.

Mr. Street asked how long does the approval take for a grant application? Mrs. Melson-Williams

replied that the Tax Credit Program application is now Staff Review process. In the past, it had

to come before the Historic District Commission. It was changed in 2008.


7

Mr. Street asked if it was a 30-day turn around? Mrs. Melson-Williams replied no, for the

program there is an authorization that happens up front before you start the project. The second

step is submission that the project is completed, and this is the exact amount of money I spent

because then the exact credit has to be calculated and forwarded to the Tax Assessor office.

Ms. Mason asked what would happen to the contractors if we sent them all something. I know it

would be time consuming. Mrs. Melson-Williams replied that the list of contractors in the City is

huge, over 1000.

Mr. Czerwinski mentioned perhaps the homeowners email address could be provided so that

when the contractor comes in and gets the Permit, then we can send an alert email with the Tax

Credit information to the homeowner.

Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that with the Preservation Chapter a lot of the hard work of doing

all these series of goals was actually done in previous Comprehensive Plans. It really has not

been totally rewritten but updated. She suggested that the Commission members also take a look

at the Economic Development section because there are some recommendations that are very

specific to areas of the City that include the Historic District area.

Mr. McDaniel asked what happens when this changes from Draft to actual. Mrs. Melson-

Williams replied that this is the Preliminary Draft so that we could get the Goals and

Recommendations out there because it is really the meat of the Comprehensive Plan along with

the two (2) sets of maps that have been issued at this point. The chapter writings are more facts

and information that explains things a little bit such as giving background on this particular topic.

The philosophy comes into play for the City. There have been some questions about who is

going to do all of this and who is going to fund all of this. It is meant to be a vision plan. We

worked on some of it from the 2008 Plan. It really depends on in the next 10 years how things

evolve.

Mr. Czerwinski asked if there will be another run through. Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that

this is a Preliminary Draft. If you have any markups or comments or read something in another

section and it makes absolutely no sense to you that is what we want to hear so that we can make

it a good document. At this point we are anticipating that a Draft of the Comprehensive Plan will

be issued in early 2019. Once there is a Draft issued there will be more public outreach and then

we will be moving into what is the formal public hearing review process that will need to happen

with Planning Commission and City Council to get to final adoption.

Mr. McDaniel asked what the goal for the final adoption was. Mrs. Melson-Williams replied that

as of today the deadline is February 9, 2019. We have a request for an extension of that

certification date and hope to be finished before summer.

Mr. McDaniel asked if Council meets in December. Mrs. Melson-Williams replied that Council

only holds one meeting in December. As of early this week, Council cancelled their second

meetings in November and December.

Again, Mrs. Melson-Williams encouraged the members to read the entire Preliminary Draft.


8

Continued Discussion of Historic Preservation Chapter

Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned that at this point there is not a Preliminary Draft to be issued.

It continues to be a work in progress. She was not sure if there will be anything for a December

meeting, but certainly would anticipate a January meeting and see a complete chapter at that

point.

Mr. McDaniel asked if it would be adopted in February. Mrs. Melson-Williams replied no.

Mr. Street moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Ms. Mason and unanimously carried 5-0.

Meeting adjourned at 3:58 PM
