Mayor Carroll declared the hearing open.
Mr. Carlton Maricle of 527 William Street requested to know the purpose of the rezoning.
Mr. Roe explained that the Planning Commission reviewed the entire area around the location where the proposed rezoning would take place, noting that the surrounding development in all directions is either open land or commercial. The Commission felt that a C-3 zoning category would be compatible with adjoining land use. Uses of the property to be rezoned would include proper buffering such as fencing or shrubs.
Mr. Maricle stated that he would not be comfortable with the thought that present commercial establishments in the area would expand, feeling that it might substantially change the integrity of the neighborhood. He voiced his objections to the proposed rezoning.
Mr. Daniel Skweres of 611 West Street was present to voice his objections to the proposed rezoning.
Mr. Anderson Peters voiced his objections to the rezoning and the fact that he owns property located at 621 William Street and was not notified of the hearing.
It is noted that the property located at 621 William Street is in the name of the Administration of Veterans Affairs, P.O. Box 8079, Philadelphia, PA. The Administrative of Veterans Affairs was properly notified of the public hearing and the City of Dover has no record of Anderson Peters as an owner.
There was no correspondence concerning the rezoning.
Mayor Carroll declared the hearing closed.
Mr. Richter moved for approval of the rezoning as submitted, seconded by Mr. Shevock.

PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING PROPERTY - WILLIS ROAD - OWNED BY YMCA OF SOUTHERN DELAWARE
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property located on Willis Road, owned by the YMCA of Southern Delaware, for the purpose of constructing townhouses.
Mayor Carroll declared the hearing open.
Mr. Michael Adams of 58 Spruance Road objected to the type of townhouses that are planned to be constructed on the site in question, pointing out that other townhouses built in the area were somewhat unsuccessful on the buyers market and unoccupied units have deteriorated substantially due to inferior workmanship. He objected to the construction of townhouses, preferring the construction of single occupancy units.
Mr. Alfred Dougherty of 106 Willis Road was present to oppose the type of townhouses planned to be constructed and requested that single family homes be considered for the area.
Mr. Jack Beiser, the prospective builder of the townhouses, was present and stated his feeling that townhouses are suited for the area, both aesthetically and economically.
Questioned by Mayor Carroll, Mr. Roe stated that the Planning Commission did recommend approval of the rezoning and the present zoning of RG-2 allows one unit for every 1,700 square feet of land where the proposed rezoning for townhouses allows one unit for every 1,800 square feet of land which would actually reduce density.
There was no correspondence concerning the rezoning.
Mayor Carroll declared the hearing closed.
By motion of Mr. Shevock, seconded by Mr. Richter, Council by unanimous roll call vote, adopted the following ordinance:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON WILLIS ROAD.
WHEREAS, the City of Dover has enacted a zoning ordinance regulating the use of property within the limits of the City of Dover, and

A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider rezoning lots #20, #22 and #24 on South Bradford Street, owned by Dr. Basilio N. Bautista, for the purpose of constructing a professional building.
Mayor Carroll declared the hearing open.
Mrs. Shirley Kocher of 1051 S. Bradford Street, stated that she is not entirely against the rezoning or the construction of professional buildings in her area; however, she would like to see more positive action on some of the problems arising from that type of development. Mrs. Kocher distributed photographs for observation by members of Council that showed flooding above the curbline on her property and suggested that storm drainage was badly needed. In addition, some of the professional buildings presently constructed on South Bradford Street have not lived up to their depicted plans shown to the public that called for more adequate screening by the planting of shrubs. If it is Council’s intention to commit this particular area to professional buildings, she suggested that the entire area be zoned RG-0.
Attorney David Finocchiaro was present to represent Dr. Kaza who proposes the construction of the professional building. Mr. Finocchiaro stated that Dr. Kaza intends to comply with all codes of the City of Dover. In addition, he pointed out that the lot is 150' x 180', which will furnish adequate parking. Dr. Kaza has also been in touch with engineers who have recommended tying into the City storm system.
There was no correspondence concerning the rezoning.
Mayor Carroll declared the hearing closed.
Mr. Witt moved for approval of the rezoning, seconded by Mr. Carey.
Mr. Richter suggested that the area, due to the drainage problem, is a prime candidate for the Capital Improvement Program. In addition, he objected to further encroachment on a residential area with professional buildings.
Mr. Shevock suggested that particular attention be given during the Site Plan approval due to the severe drainage problems in the area.
By a roll call vote of six (6) yes, one (1) no (Mr. Richter), Council adopted the following ordinance:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT LOTS #20, #22 and #24 SOUTH BRADFORD STREET.

PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED USE - REVENUE SHARING FUNDS
The second and final public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place consider the proposed use of Revenue Sharing funds.
Mayor Carroll declared the hearing open.
There was no one present to speak concerning the distribution of Revenue Sharing Funds and no correspondence.
Mayor Carroll declared the hearing closed.
Mr. Boaman moved to recommend that the Revenue Sharing funds be segregated into separate accounts and utilized for capital improvements over the next year. The motion was seconded by Mr. Carey.
Questioned by Mr. Richter, Mr. Boaman stated that he would like to see Revenue Sharing funds segregated into separate accounts for capital improvements rather than transferred to the general account. He further explained that the motion intends to leave the distribution of funds flexible for allocation and not necessarily for each specific capital improvement item as listed on the proposed budget submitted by the City Manager. This would enable Council to delete or add items as they so desire.
Mr. Witt suggested that no action be taken on the Revenue Sharing funds, delaying final approval until such time as the General Fund budget is adopted and simultaneously adopt the Revenue Sharing expenditure.
Mr. Bartolotta advised that the Revenue Sharing Act indicates that when the funds are received, they must be placed in a separate account. How the funds are disbursed requires a public hearing. This evening’s public hearing meets that requirement. If Council desired to transfer the funds to the General Fund, that would give the option of allocating funds in the General Fund in any manner desirable.
In fairness to the taxpayer, Mr. Boaman felt that they should known how the City plan to spend money instead of adopting a budget without designating specific revenue sharing items.
Mr. Witt moved to table the matter, seconded by Mr. Richter.
By a roll call vote of five (5), yes, two (2) no (Mr. Boaman and Mr. Shevock) the matter was tabled until the next Regular Council Meeting.

Mr. Boaman moved that Council support Senate Bill #81 by resolution, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle and by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council of the City of Dover diligently monitors legislation in the General Assembly that is in the best interest of the citizens of Dover; and
