City Council to hear update on Master Plan, city strategic plan

posted on: 2/5/2024

The City Council will hold a workshop on Wednesday, Feb. 6, to discuss the city’s master and strategic plans and a proposed amendment to the Littleworth Road/Industrial Drive development agreement.

Last year, the Planning Board adopted the Master Plan’s Vision Chapter, and work is underway now to update the Open Space and Conservation Chapter, with the chapter’s steering committee holding its first meeting this week. The update to the Council will include an overall overview of the Master Plan and a review of Master Plan action items. The City Council will also review the city’s departmental strategic plans.

The City Council will also discuss a proposed amendment to the Land Development Agreement with Westfield, LLC and Terra Nova, LLC to develop land lots adjacent to Littleworth Road. Westfield and Terra Nova LLCs are business entities of developer and Dover resident Chad Kageleiry.

The developer proposes to amend the LDA to include purchasing two additional city-owned lots, which would be used to offset wetlands buffer impacts and other minor environmental impacts to the non-residential parcel. The developer believes the setback/buffer relief will help create significantly more non-residential square footage than otherwise feasible, according to the report from Deputy City Manager Christopher G. Parker, who states the investment would provide additional tax base, job creation potential, and valuation. The proposed amendment is included with the agenda materials.
