Minutes of Meeting
February 16, 2017
The Sussex County Pension Fund Committee met on February 16, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. in the County Council Chambers, Georgetown, Delaware. Those in attendance included members: Gina Jennings, Karen Brewington, Kathy Roth, David Baker, Hugh Leahy, and Kathleen Ryan. Also in attendance was Patrick Wing of Peirce Park Group, the County’s Pension Investment Consultant. Committee member Todd Lawson was unable to attend. On February 8, 2017, the Agenda for today’s meeting was posted in the County’s locked bulletin board located in the lobby of the County Administrative Offices, as well as posted on the County’s website. Ms. Jennings called the meeting to order. 1. Approval of Minutes The minutes of the November 17, 2016 meeting were approved by consent. 2. Performance Reports of the Pension and OPEB Funds Mr. Wing distributed copies of a booklet entitled, “Sussex County Investment Performance Report, December 31, 2016”. Mr. Wing noted that four additional inserts were included: (1) Peirce Park Perspective – Winter 2017 edition, (2) Performance Update for the OPEB Fund as of January 31, 2017, (3) Manager Summary for DuPont Capital Large Cap Structured Equity; this summary was an overview of a recent meeting held between DuPont with both Ms. Jennings and Mr. Wing; it was reported that from this point forward, DuPont Capital plans to attend February Pension Committee meetings, and (4) Marquette Associates Firm Overview. Mr. Wing reported that Peirce Park had merged with Marquette Associates at the beginning of 2017. He reviewed the overview that presented a brief synopsis of the firm. Mr. Shone will remain the County’s lead consultant and primary contact; there will be no change in fee structure or contracts. The Investment Performance Report includes information regarding the market environment for the fourth quarter of 2016, as well as quarterly and annual performances of the Pension and OPEB Plans. Although the report should be referenced for a more detailed analysis, discussion highlights include: Mr. Wing referred members to Market Environment – 4th Quarter of 2016 (Tab 1). Equities saw mixed returns for the fourth quarter: U.S. equities: 4.2 percent for the quarter and 12.7 percent year-to-date, international equities: -0.4 percent for the quarter and 2.7 percent year-to-date, and emerging market equities: -4.2 percent for the quarter and 11.2 percent year-to-date. Core fixed income realized a poor performance: U. S. Bonds: -3.0 percent for the quarter and 2.6 percent year-to-date, and high yield bonds (junk bonds): 1.8 percent for the quarter and 17.1 percent year-to-date. Regarding the equity market, defensive stocks lagged across all regions in the fourth quarter, which would have the greatest impact to the County’s OPEB Fund since its two remaining active managers (MFS Low Volatility Global Equity and American Funds Int’l Growth & Income) are more defensive type managers; they both realized underperformance during the last quarter of 2016 and somewhat for the year as a whole. Mr. Wing directed members to the Pension Fund Performance Report (Tab II). He reviewed the 2016 accomplishments: • Lowered assumed rate of return to 7.25 percent • Approved Funding Policy • Custodian consolidation (transferred Vanguard accounts to Wilmington Trust) • Portfolio Changes - Increased equity target to 65% and decreased fixed income target to 35% - Lowered allocation to the State of Delaware Investment Pool from 60 to 50 percent - Increased allocation to Vanguard Mid Cap Value, Vanguard Extended Market Index & Wilmington Trust Fixed Income - Added Vanguard S & P Index & Vanguard Total International Stock Index As of December 31, 2016, the ending market value of the Pension Plan was $77.7 million and realized a fourth quarter gain of $1.2 million, as well as a 1-year gain of $5.8 million. The Pension Plan outperformed its policy index by 20 points in the fourth quarter due to DuPont’s outperformance and U. S. small- and mid-cap allocations. Overall in 2016, the Pension Plan underperformed its policy index by 80 basis points primarily due to underperformance by the Delaware State Pool, as well as DuPont Capital. The Pension Plan outperformed its peer groups over 1, 3, and 5-year periods. Expenses were notably lower at the end of the fourth quarter. Looking ahead, Peirce Park plans to continue to closely monitor DuPont. The Pension Fund realized a 1.5 percent return for the quarter versus a 1.3 percent policy index (14th percentile nationwide); and a one year return of 7.5 percent, which is above the new assumed rate of return of 7.25 percent, versus an 8.3 percent policy index (44th percentile). Investment manager returns for the State Pool included: 0.5 percent for the fourth quarter versus a 0.3 percent policy benchmark, primarily due to their fixed income portfolio; for the year: 6.3 percent versus a 7.5 percent policy benchmark; and five years: 7.6 percent versus a 7.7 percent policy benchmark due to asset allocation. It was noted that returns are net of all fees. Mr. Wing referred members to the OPEB Fund Performance Report (Tab III). He reviewed the 2016 accomplishments:
2 • Lowered assumed rate of return to 7.25 percent • Approved Funding Policy • Portfolio changes - Terminated Thornburg Global Opportunities - Proceeds split between Vanguard Institutional Index and Total International Stock Index As of December 31, 2016, the ending market value of the OPEB Plan was $33.1 million and realized a fourth quarter gain of $306,500; and a 1-year gain of $2.2 million. The OPEB Plan lagged behind its policy index by 40 basis points in the fourth quarter primarily due to MFS Low Volatility Global and American Funds Int’l Growth & Income, and lagged its policy index by 100 basis points in 2016. In addition to MFS and American Funds, Thornburg was a primary factor in the underperformance. Looking ahead: possible further equity manager diversification. The OPEB Fund realized a 0.9 percent return for the quarter versus a 1.3 percent policy index (ranked in the top 32 percent); one year return of 6.9 percent versus a 7.9 percent policy index (61st percentile), and a five year return of 7.4 percent versus an 8.5 percent policy index. Again, these returns are net of all management fees. Investment Manager returns included: MFS Low Volatility Global Equity: -2.3 percent (77th percentile) for the quarter versus a 1.2 percent policy index; 1 year: 6.9 percent (41st percentile) versus a 7.9 percent policy index; American Funds Int’l Growth & Income: -3.0 percent (68th percentile) for the quarter versus a -1.3 percent benchmark; one year: 3.1 percent (26th percentile) versus a 4.5 percent policy benchmark. Mr. Wing noted that 2016 was a difficult year for active managers, not only in the U. S., but also in the international markets as a whole. Mr. Wing reviewed the investment manager fees for the OPEB Fund which, overall, are 0.19 percent; it was noted that these fees are extremely inexpensive compared to Peirce Park’s other clients with a 65 percent equity allocation. Mr. Wing noted that the one-month total fund, net of all fees, was 1.5 percent as of January 31, 2017 versus a policy index of 1.5 percent; MFS and American were more in line with their benchmarks as well. 3. Diversification Options for OPEB Fund At November’s meeting, it had been the consensus of the committee for Peirce Park to present recommendations for additional equity diversification for the OPEB Plan at the February 2017 meeting. The committee was also reminded that past discussions had been held regarding possibly increasing international equity targets. Mr. Wing presented Committee members with a report entitled, “Sussex County – OPEB, Global Equity Manager Search, February 2017”. The OPEB Plan currently has two active equity managers, MFS Low Volatility Global Equity and American Funds International Growth & Income. The report presented analysis and information on two new potential global managers for the Committee’s consideration – Artisan Global Opportunities and Dodge & Cox Global, which included a summary, manager information, regional distribution as percent of total portfolio, sector distribution as percent of total portfolio, market capitalization as percent of total portfolio, valuations,
3 yearly returns (%), cumulative returns annualized (%), up/down market participation, risk statistics, pros and cons, and implementation options. In conclusion, Mr. Wing reviewed the pros and cons for both global managers and presented four implementation options. PROS & CONS

Contributing $ Withdrawing $
4 A question and answer period followed Mr. Wing’s presentation. When questioned, Mr. Wing stated and explained that his recommendation would be Option 3, but with smaller allocations to Artisan and Dodge & Cox to lessen the overall estimated fees. The actual dollar amounts associated with the estimated fees for the four options were also brought to the Committee’s attention. A Motion was made by Mr. Leahy, seconded by Mr. Baker, to recommend to the Sussex County Council to approve Option 3, with revisions, to reflect Vanguard Institutional Index: 35 percent; Vanguard Mid Cap Value Index: 6.7 percent; Vanguard Small Cap Value Index: 3.3 percent; MFS Low Volatility Global Equity: 6.3 percent; American Funds Int’l Growth & Income: 0 percent; Vanguard Total Int’l Stock Index Adm: 7.6 percent; Wilmington Trust FI: 33.2 percent; Cash: 0.9 percent; Artisan Global Opportunities: 3.5 percent; and Dodge & Cox Global Stock: 3.5 percent.
Motion Adopted: 6 Yeas.
Vote by Roll Call: Ms. Brewington, Yea; Ms. Roth, Yea; Mr. Leahy, Yea; Ms. Ryan, Yea; Mr. Baker, Yea; Ms. Jennings, Yea
Ms. Jennings thanked Mr. Wing for his presentation.
4. Additional Business
Ms. Ryan expressed concern regarding the impact of possible interest rate increases on the County’s fixed income portfolios and how Wilmington Trust may address the issue. A discussion period was held, which included questions being asked of Mr. Wing. It was the consensus of the Committee to invite Wilmington Trust to May’s meeting, with Peirce Park providing potential options depending on that outcome.
5. Adjourn
At 11:25 a.m., a motion was made by Ms. Ryan, seconded by Mr. Leahy, to adjourn.
Motion Adopted: 6 Yeas.
Vote by Roll Call: Ms. Brewington, Yea; Ms. Roth, Yea; Mr. Leahy, Yea; Ms. Ryan, Yea; Mr. Baker, Yea; Ms. Jennings, Yea
The next meeting of the Pension Committee is scheduled for May 18, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. in the Sussex County Council Chambers.

III. OPEB PEIRCE PARK GROUP PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND REPORTING SERVICES INFORMATION DISCLAIMER
This performance report is for evaluation purposes only. This information is for the recipient only and is not for redistribution.
We exercised reasonable professional care in the preparation of this performance report. Information on market indices, security characteristics, and universe comparisons is received from external sources. Therefore, we make no guarantees as to the completeness or accuracy of this report.
Usually we use a client’s custodian for market values and transaction dates. If the custodian cannot provide accurate information, manager data is usually used. Custodial information may differ from investment manager records. When the manager(s) and the custodian are one and the same, or where the manager provides the valuation to the custodian, we have no ability to determine the accuracy of the valuation put forth. For clients that calculate their own returns and provide them to us, we report only what is provided to us. Therefore, we have no ability to determine the accuracy of the calculation(s) and assume no liability for their use.
Returns are generally calculated by geometrically linking the holding period returns (generally monthly). When available, total account returns are calculated and usually presented net of fees. For net of fee return calculations, returns are reduced by the investment management fees, if not already reported net of fees. Returns are not reduced by other expenses such as custody, actuarial, accounting, and investment consulting fees.
If a client requests, we will provide gross of fee total fund returns. To calculate a gross of fee total account return, we increase the return for each investment that is reported net of fees by an amount that reflects, as accurately as possible, expenses of the manager or fund. For example, for mutual funds, net of fee returns are increased by the amount of their reported expense ratio. The expense ratio includes, but is not limited to, management fees, advisory/sub-advisory fees, administrative fees, transfer agent fees, and fund accounting fees. In determining expenses or expense ratios, we attempt to obtain accurate information that is readily available from Morningstar. Our results may differ from other reported sources. As such, we make no guarantee as to the accuracy of fee information.
Investments have various types and levels of risk. There is no guarantee of gain nor any guarantee of loss protection. Information provided in this report should not be considered a recommendation by us of any mutual fund, manager, or strategy.

RE: Sussex County Landfills 2017 Site Maintenance Award of five (5)-year Maintenance Contract
DATE: March 7, 2017
Between 1968 and 1984 Sussex County operated up to six (6) municipal landfills. One by one each site was converted to a transfer station upon reaching its original landfill capacity. The last active County operated site closed when the Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) assumed solid waste disposal operations and opened the Jones Crossroads Landfill. Subsequently the number of County transfer stations was steadily reduced until the last one closed in 1994.
The landfill sites were later identified pursuant to Title 7, Chapter 91 of Delaware Code, The Delaware Hazardous Substance Cleanup Act (HSCA) and are regulated by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). DNREC’s Division of Waste & Hazardous Substances, along with its Division of Water, administers and oversees regulatory management of the sites under authority granted by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Weston Solutions Inc., the County’s long term environmental consultant, and the Engineering Department’s Special Projects Director continue to manage the legacy landfill sites in conjunction with the DNREC. The State and the County mutually agreed on an Operations & Maintenance (O&M) plan, as well as, a formally recorded Environmental Covenant document for each site. In addition, Sussex County Landfill No.5 in Laurel is a delisted USEPA Federal Superfund Program site. It is governed by supplementary regulatory directives, as specified in a Notice of Conciliation agreement (NOC) made between the EPA, DNREC and Sussex County.
As part of the approved O&M plan, and the agreed upon NOC, a groundwater monitoring program was established and groundwater sampling is conducted annually from monitor, residential, irrigation, and agricultural wells, as well as, from surface water bodies, located on or in proximity to the sites, to measure groundwater quality and water table fluctuations. Each landfill has a series of pathways accessing the groundwater monitoring wells installed at, or near the sites. The pathways are maintained annually in order to obtain the samples. This maintenance work includes removal of all vegetative overgrowth by the use of mechanical and manual removal methods. It also involves inspection for, and removal of any refuse along all pathways, gated entrances, as well as, fenced areas along specified boundary lines. Lastly it includes correction of any significant settlement areas along the access pathways at the discretion of Engineering Department.
A request for proposals for a five (5) year landfill maintenance agreement was prepared and provided to eleven (11) contractors engaging in this type of work. Proposals from five (5) bidders were opened on February 13, 2017. The lowest responsive, responsible bidder was William F. Betts II, with a base bid of $18,900.00 for 2017 work, which decreases to $18,200.00 for the subsequent years. The alternate bid of $18,990.00 includes the provision of crusher run, topping stone and filter fabric, if necessary.
The Sussex County Engineering Department recommends award of the base and alternate bids for an up to five (5) year landfill maintenance contract to William Betts. Partial funding for this contract has been approved in the Fiscal Year 2017 budget. Funding for subsequent years will be budgeted accordingly.

RE: Sussex County Fencing Services Award of five (5)-year Fencing Services Contract
DATE: March 7, 2017
Each year, fencing services are solicited on multiple occasions for fence installation and repairs at various County owned properties. Many of the properties’ existing fence was originally installed in the 70s, and is in need of replacement. In order to expedite these services, and save the County costs, the Engineering Department advertised a unit price based specification set for a one (1) year fencing services agreement, with a possible renewal for up to five (5) years.
The request for proposals was prepared and provided to ten (10) contractors engaging in this type of work. Proposals from three (3) bidders were opened on February 13, 2017. The lowest responsive, responsible bidder was Seagull Fence and Concrete, with a total annual base bid in the amount of $50,121.80 and an alternate bid of $1,270.00.
The Sussex County Engineering Department recommends award of the base and alternate bids for an up to five (5) year fence maintenance contract to Seagull Fence and Concrete. Partial funding for this contract has been approved in the Fiscal Year 2017 budget. Funding for subsequent years will be budgeted accordingly.

RE: Herring Creek Sewer District Area, Approval of Land Acquisition Tax Map 234-17.00-213.00
DATE: March 7, 2017
On July 9, 2016, eligible voters of the proposed Herring Creek Sewer Area approved the sewer district expansion. On August 2, 2016, County Council issued a determination and officially created the Herring Creek Area expansion of the Unified Sewer District.
During the same business meeting County Council further directed the County Engineer to procure the necessary lands and rights-of-way as well as prepare plans and specifications for the project. Subsequently, the County Finance Director filed the funding application necessary to provide adequate financing for the project with USDA/RD.
On November 1, 2016, County Council approved WRA Associates, Inc.’s professional services contract, Amendment No.8 for Aerial Mapping & Environmental Assessment in the Herring Creek expansion area. With the information now in hand, the Engineering Department identified a number of key easement acquisitions and approached the owners.
Acquisition of Tax Map 234-17.00-213.00 is especially time sensitive. This parcel was purchased by Treasure Homes, LLC, a builder at the same time the district expansion was approved. They planned on a new home construction in the spring, but agreed to wait until Council could consider an acquisition.
Treasure Homes, LLC is willing to sell the parcel at the appraised value with the stipulation of the County assuming the closing costs. We propose to either use the parcel for a pump station site or more likely, record a key easement connecting two existing subdivisions and use the site for a staging area during construction. Once construction of the central sewer system concludes, Treasure Homes, LLC requests the first right of refusal to buy back the property at the previous purchase price.
The Sussex County Engineering Department in cooperation with the Finance Department recommend the advance right-of-way purchase of Tax Parcel 234-17.00-213.00 at appraisal value under the conditions outlined above using capitalized project funds and payment of appraisal costs.

Milton DE 19968 STATEMENT OF ASSUMPTIONS & LIMITING CONDITIONS - The appraiser will not be responsible for matters of a legal nature that affect either the property being appraised or the title to it. The appraiser assumes that the title is good and marketable and, therefore, will not render an~ opinions about the title. The property is appraised on the basis of it being under responsible ownership. I - The appraiser may have provided a plat and/or parcel map in the appraisal report to assist the reader in visualizing the lot size, shape, and/or orientation. The appraiser has not made a survey of the subject property. I - If so indicated, the appraiser has examined the available flood maps that are provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or other data sources) and has noted in the appraisal report whether the subject site is located in an identified Special Flood Hazard Area. Because the appraiser is not a surveyor, he or she makes no guarantees, express or imP/ied, regarding this determination. - The appraiser will not give testimony or appear in court because he or she made an appraisal of the property in Question, unless specific arrangements to do so have been made beforehand. - The appraiser has noted in the appraisal report any adverse conditions (including, but not limited to, the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) observed during the inspection of the subject property, or that he or she became aware of during the normal research involved in performing the appraisal. Unless otherwise stated in the appraisal report, the appraiser has no knowledge of any hidden or unapparent conditions of the property, or adverse environmental conditions (including, but not limited to, the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) that would make the property more or less valuable, and has assumed that there are no such conditions and makes no guarantees or warranties, express or implied, regarding the condition of the property. The appraiser will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might be reQuired to discover whether such conditions exist. Because the appraiser is not an expert in the field of environmental hazards, the appraisal report must not be considered as an environmental assessment of the property. - The appraiser obtained the information, estimates, and opinions that were expressed in the appraisal report from sources that he or she considers to be reliable and believes them to be true and correct. The appraiser does not assume responsibility for the accuracy of such items that were furnished by other parties. - The appraiser will not disclose the contents of the appraisal report except as provided for in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, and any applicable federal, state or local laws. - An appraiser's client is the party (or parties) who engage an appraiser in a s1 ecific assignment.

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE*: Market value means the most probable price which a property should bringlin a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: 1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated; 2. Both parties are well informed or well advised and acting in what they consider their own best interests; 3.

The software utilized by this appraiser to generate the appraisal protects signature security by means of a digital signature security feature for each appraiser signing the report, and each apprl iser maintains sole control of their related signature through a password, hardware device, or other means.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE---An important factor in any valuation asslgnment, and the first step in the valuation process, involves the determination of the properties highest and best use. This may be defined as the reasonable probably and legal use of vacant land or improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that which results in the highest value. Furthermore, it must be a use or combination of uses: (1 )physically possible-for which the property is physically suitable or adaptable:(2) legally permissible-which is or will be permitted under existing or reasonable attainable zoning and/or other regulations. (3)financially feasible-for which there is an economic, social and/or market demand; and (4)maximally productive-that use which produces the highest pridel , or value, consistent with the rate of return warranted by the market.
The scope of the appraisal services rendered in this appraisal consists of:(1 )definition of valuation question, (2)determination of necessary date, (3) subject property inspection, (4)comparable sales inspections, (5) consideration of relevant economic and demographic data (6) verification with a knowledgeable party of the p~operty transaction facts involving the comparable data, (7) consideration of zoning and/or other restrictions, (8) highest and best luse analysis, (9) application of the appropriate valuation methods, (10) reconciliation of value estimates, and value conclusion for the subject property, and (11) provide an complete report of our findings.
Ample financing is available from local lenders. Loan discounts, interest buy downs and seller concessions are not typical for this market. I The statement pertaining to the HUD Flood Map interpretation, though believed accurate, is not guaranteed. A survey for that purpose should be undertaken where the question is marginal.
The final estimate of value is based upon the value indicated by the Sales Comparison Approach which has been proven to be the most reliable method for estimating market value in the subject's r ea and in this case supported by the Cost Approach.
No warranty of the appraised property is given or implied. No liability s assumed for structural, mechanical or insulating elements of the subject property.
The photographs used in this appraisal are digital photos utilizing imaging technology. The appraiser personally inspected the exterior of comparables utilized herein. The photographs used in this report are true and correct representations of the subject and the comparable sales, and any defects have been noted and add essed. I certify the photos used herein have not been enhanced or altered in any way.
The addenda and exhibits with this appraisal are integral parts of the f ppraisal and may not be used separately. Nor, may any single part of this appraisal be used to indicate value without the entire appraisal. This appraisal is meant to estimate value as of the appraisal date only. It is a "snapshot in time" and the value may change with changes in the condition of the subject property, with changes in the real estate market and with changes in general economic conditions.
Pursuant to Fannie Mae Guidelines of December 31 , 1994, Part VII, Chapter 4, Section 406.03 if the subject is in a suburban neighborhood (which the subject is) the required distance is waved if the neighborhoods are similar to the subject and would attract the same buyers in an arms length transaction. In this case thl 1 appraiser must use his or her knowledge of the area and apply good judgment in selecting comparable sales that are the best i dicators of value for the subject property.
No employee, director, officer, or agent of the lender, or any third part acting as a joint venture partner, independent contractor, appraisal management company, or partner on behalf of the lender has influenced or attempted to influence the development , reporting, results or review of this assignment through coercion , extortion, collusion, compensation, instruction inducement, intimidation, bribery or any other manner.
I have not been contracted by anyone other than the intended user (lender/client as identified on the first page of the report), borrower, or designated contact to make an appointment to enter the property. I agree to immediately report any unauthorized contacts either personally by phone or electronically.
I have not performed any valuation (or other) services for the subject property as an appraiser of in any other capacity. I have not performed any valuation (or other) services for the subject property as an appraiser of in any other capacity in the past 3 years prior to acceptance of this assignment or at any other time.

time.)
Exposure Time is defined as:
1. The time a property remains on the market. 2. The estimated length of time the property interest being appraised ~ould have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective ate of the appraisal; a retrospective estimate based on an analysis of past events assuming a competitive and open market. xposure time is always presumed to occur prior to the effective date of the appraisal. The overall concept of reasonable exppsure encompasses not only adequate, sufficient and reasonable time but also adequate, sufficient and reasonable effort. 6xposure time is different for various types of real estate and value ranges and under various market conditions. (Appraisal St~ndards Board of The Appraisal Foundation, Statement on Appraisal Standards No. 6, "Reasonable Exposure Time in Real PropFrty and Personal Property Market Value Opinions") Market value estimates imply that an adequate marketing effort and reasonable time for exposure occurred prior to the effective date of the appraisal. In the case of disposition value, the time frame ~ llowed for marketing the property rights is somewhat limited, but the marketing effort is orderly and adequate. With liquidatpn value, the time frame for marketing the property rights is so severely limited that an adequate marketing program cannot be 'mplemented. (The Report of the Appraisal Institute
•GP Land: Summary of Sales Comparison Approach The comparables are listed here in order of weight given Comparable #4 is an active listings and were adjusted for the median list to sell ratio. No weight was given to the active listings, however try do represent asking prices for similar homes in the subject market area.
All sales are in similar communities and the amenities in thee commu ities are different there is insufficient data to warrant adjustments. For example Pine water Farms had several homes that r re much larger than the subject but very few community amenities. All communities have a community dock.
Size adjustments are considered conservative. The typical buyer in t1is area is a retiree or vacationer looking for a second home. They do not normally care about a larger lot because they do ot wish to maintain it. For all intents and purposes the subject has similar utility as the lots.
All sales would compete with the subject if marketed at the same timj"
The subjects previous sales price and increasing market were also considered in this report. Page # 10 of 20 Subject Phoj Page Borrower Treasure Homes LLC Property Address Lot 19 Mariners Wav City Harbeson County Sussex State DE Zip Code 19951 Lender/Client

SECTION 3~ PROGMM SCOPE A. Briefly describe the program for which funds are being requested. The narrative should include the need or problem to be addressed in relation to the population to be served or the area to benefit. The Greater Millsboro Chamber of Commerce is planning a patriotic celebration called " Millsboro Stars & Stripes on Saturday July 1, 2017. This event has the full support of the Town of Millsboro and the Town Council.
The Chamber will be putting on a fireworks display that has been missing from Millsboro for 15 plus years and never done in conjunction with July 4th. We have worked closely with Town Officals, Fire Marshal, Police and the insurance compnay to make sure all our bases were covered. We have selected Brothers Pyro from Bridgeville, DE to do the pyrotechnics for this event. Fireworks will be set off on Millsboro Pond. Spectators are encouraged to gather at Cupola Park starting at 6pm. We will have a few food vendors serving summertime favorites and we will have a DJ to entertain until the fireworks start.
The cost of the fireworks is $20,000 for a 20 minute show and we are asking Sussex County Council to help defray the cost of this by giving 10% of this cost or $2000. The Chamber is busy working on fundraising for this event and will be recieving sponsorship from the Town of Millsboro too. This is going to be a free event and hope that having it on the weekend prior to the 4th of July we can pull visitors in and bring people from surrounding communities to Millsboro. Our goal is to promote Millsboro as a progressive Town but still holding on to the "small town charm" that people who live here love. What a better way to promote this than through a celebration of this great Country"s Freedom! B. IF RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION WAS CONFIRMED ABOVE IN SECTION 1, PLEASE FILL OUT THE FOLLOWING SECTION .

SECTION 3: PROGRAM SCOPE I A. Briefly describe the program for which funds are being requested. The narrative should include the need or problem to be addressed in relation to the population to be served or the area to benefit. The Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra (MSO) is a regional company of professional musicians of the highest caliber dedicated to keeping the orchestral art form alive and active in the Mid-Atlantic region. We perform a repertoire of classical and modern compositions in venues across the area and have become an integral part of the cultural life on the Eastern Shore and in Sussex County. The MSO is the only professional orchestra presenting a full subscription series each year in this region. The MSO season consists of four concerts given at each of our three venues in Ocean View, DE, and Ocean Pines and Easton, MD, plus special annual performances in Rehoboth Beach and Fenwick Island, DE. More than 1,500 people attend MSO concerts annually in Sussex County. Our audiences are most appreciative of the fact that they have a quality orchestra available locally, at a reasonable cost, and they do not have to travel to a major city to hear quality classical music.
Operating funds for the 2016-2017 season have brought outstanding programs to the Mid-Atlantic region thus far, and we look forward to more dynamic performances this spring, including solo performances from soprano Jessica Bachicha and bassoonist Terry Ewell in Ma'rch, and cellist Patrick Jee at our season finale in April. Plans are now being finalized for the MSO to perform a special chamber orchestra concert this summer, and to begin our 20th anniversary season in October by introducing violinist Virgil Bouttelis to our patrons.
Each MSO concert costs upwards of $25,000, including costs for musicians, soloists, venue rental, rehearsal space, music rental, and advertising. The support of the community, individuals, and businesses is vital to the livelihood of the MSO since ticket sales cover less than a third of our annual operating budget. In order to bring artists of the highest caliber to our region, the MSO relies upon contributions from corporate sponsors and local government agencies to help us meet our annual budget. A contribution from the Sussex County Council would help ensure that the MSO is able to continue to provide a quality arts experience to county residents of all ages. By partnering with the MSO, the Sussex County Council demonstrates its commitment to the arts and assists the MSO in furthering our mission to "enrich life in the Mid-Atlantic region through the - power of classical music."

SECTION 3: PROGRAM SCOPE j A. Briefly describe the program for which funds are being requested. The narrative should include the need or problem to be addressed in relation to the population to be served or the area to benefit. Ocean View and the neighboring communities of Millville, Clarksville, Bayard, Blackwater, Williamsville, Selbyville, Omar, Clarksville, Muddy Neck, Cedar Neck, Bethany, South Bethany and Fenwick, make up coastal Delaware between the Indian River Inlet and the DE-MD southern boundary. These villages have grown from small hamlets of subsistence farmers and seafarers into vibrant coastal communities. This part of Delaware is not only a wonderful place to live, but also embodies a rich and interesting history. The Ocean View Historical Society (OVHS), incorporated in 2008, preserves and shares this history by presenting public lectures, workshops, history mixers, special open houses and historic tours.
The mission of the OVHS is to preserve, interpret and share the history of Ocean View and the Baltimore Hundred. To fulfill its mission, the Ocean View Historical Society is currently engaged in a campaign to: 1) Create a Coastal Towns Museum at 40 West Avenue within the Evans-West House, a 1901 Gothic Revival House located adjacent to the Ocean View Town Park; and, 2) Build Hall's Store Visitor and Education Center as the hub for the Ocean View Historical Complex.
The Ocean View Historical Complex is open to the public at announced times during the year, and regularly each Wednesday afternoon during the summer months, when the area swells with summer visitors. OVHS docents greet visitors, sometimes in period dress, and provide guided tours of the complex buildings. Children of the Indian River School District are a priority visitor group.
In order to realize our goal for the Coastal Towns Museum project, the OVHS is requesting a grant of $2,000 from Sussex County to help the OVHS get closer to completing construction on the two buildings. We hope that Sussex County will consider partnering with the OVHS to enrich the lives of - residents and visitors to our coastal towns by helping preserve our rich history. B.

RE: County Council Report for CU 2064 R&K Partners
On September 12, 2016, the Planning and Zoning Department received an application CU 2064 R&K Partners to allow for a medical office. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on January 26, 2017. The following are the minutes and motion for the Conditional Use from the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
Ms. Cornwell advised the Commission that a staff analysis was done providing surrounding zoning and land use; that a response from DelDOT regarding the service level request was received; that the applicant submitted a site plan along with an exhibit booklet.
The Commission found David Hutt, Esquire, was present on behalf of R&K Partners along with the Hosmane family, property owners, and John Murray, Project Manager, and that they state in their presentation, exhibit booklet, and in response to questions raised by the Commission that the Hosmane family has owned the proposed property since 1988; that the application is a proposal for a medical office building that will be less than 10,000 sq. ft.; that the preliminary site plan is provided; that the preliminary site plan shows the proposed parking, approximate location of the building, and the proposed entrance; that from 1980 until today there have been more than 30 conditional uses applied for on Savannah Rd. of which many were for medical offices consistent with this application; that the properties to the left and right of the proposed parcel are both medical offices with conditional uses, one being Bayview Medical Center and the other being Bayhealth Health Associates; that the proposed property is zoned AR-1; that the proposed office will have central water with Tidewater Utilities and central sewer with Sussex County; that DelDOT issued a letter of no objection with approval of the proposed entrance; that DelDOT ensures there is no traffic impact study required; that the proposed office hours will be Monday-Friday 7:00 am – 7:00 pm and Saturdays 8:00 am – 2:00 pm; that a lighted sign is required being no more than 32 sq. ft. on each side; that a dumpster location will be provided if need be; that medical waste will be disposed of in regards to medical requirements; that by code they are required to provide 21 parking spaces but are providing about 60 parking spaces with open space if more parking is needed; that the proposed medical office building will benefit the health, safety, and welfare of the Sussex County residents.

The Commission found that Joanna Sockle is in opposition of this application; that she stated in her presentation that she lives at 33506 West Hunters Run; that her back yard is directly opposite the property applied for; that she has concerns about the project; that her concerns are how will waste be disposed of, will the lighted sign be glaring, will there be a tree buffer; that she just moved to Lewes in 2014; that with questions answered, the application will be welcomed to the neighborhood.
At the conclusion of the public hearings, the Commission discussed this application.
Motion by Mr. Ross, seconded by Mr. Hudson, and carried unanimously to defer action for further consideration. Motion carried 4 – 0.
At their meeting on February 9, 2017, the Commission discussed this application which has been deferred since January 26, 2017.
Mr. Hudson stated that he would move that the Commission recommend approval of Conditional Use No. 2064 for R&K PARTNERS for the use as medical offices based upon the record made during the public hearing and for the following reasons:
1. The proposed Conditional Use is similar in character to many other medical offices in this area of Savannah Road. It is in character with the long history of development of medical and professional office space along Savannah Road. 2. The use serves a community need by creating medical offices near Beebe Hospital. 3. The use as a medical office will benefit the health, safety and welfare of Sussex County residents. 4. The use, with the conditions and limitations placed upon it, will not adversely affect neighboring properties or roadways. 5. DelDOT has reviewed the proposed use and a Letter of No Objection has been issued. DelDOT has stated that while no traffic study is required, the developer is financially obligated to construct road and traffic improvements that may be required. 6. This recommendation is subject to the following conditions: A. As stated by the applicant, there shall be no more than 9,900 square feet of medical and professional office space. B. As stated by the applicant, the hours of operation shall be between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm Monday through Friday, and between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm on Saturdays. There shall not be any Sunday hours. C. One lighted sign, not to exceed 32 square feet per side, shall be permitted. D. Any dumpsters shall be screened from view of neighboring properties and roadways. E. There shall be a buffer along the boundary of this property and adjacent residential properties using the existing vegetation, or if that does not provide sufficient screening, using Leyland Cypress or similar vegetation. The existing vegetation or any plantings must be at least 5 feet tall at the time of construction. The design of the buffer and the vegetation used in the buffer area shall be included in the Final Site Plan. F. The applicant shall comply with all DelDOT requirements concerning entrance, traffic and roadway improvements. County Council Report for CU 2064 R&K Partners Page | 3
G. The Final Site Plan shall be subject to the review and approval of the Sussex County Planning & Zoning Commission.
Motion by Mr. Hudson, seconded by Mr. Hopkins, and carried unanimously to recommend the approval of Conditional Use No. 2064 R&K Partners for the reasons and with the conditions stated. Motion carried 4 – 0.

Memorandum To: Sussex County Planning Commission Members From: Janelle Cornwell, AICP, Planning & Zoning Director CC: Vince Robertson, Assistant County Attorney and applicant Date: January 19, 2017 RE: Staff Analysis for C/U #2064 R&K Partners at 1537 Savannah Rd.
This memo is to provide background and analysis for the Planning Commission to consider as a part of application C/U #2064 R&K Partners to be reviewed during the January 26, 2017 Planning Commission Meeting. This analysis should be included in the record of this application and is subject to comments and information that may be presented during the public hearing.
The request is for a Conditional Use for parcel 335-12.05-4.00 to allow for the use of medical offices. The size of the property for the Conditional Use is 1.54 ac. +/-. The property is zoned AR- 1 (Agricultural Residential District).
The 2008 Sussex County Comprehensive Plan Update (Comprehensive Plan) provides a framework of how land is to be developed. As part of the Comprehensive Plan a Future Land Use Map is included to help determine how land should be zoned to ensure responsible development. The Future Land Use map indicates that the properties have the land use designation Environmentally Sensitive Developing Areas.
The surrounding land uses to the north, south, east and west are Environmentally Sensitive Developing Areas. There are properties to the south with the land use designation of Highway Commercial as well as Environmentally Sensitive Developing Areas. There are properties to the north with the land use designation of Mixed Residential Areas as well as Environmentally Sensitive Developing Areas. The Environmentally Sensitive Developing Areas land use designations recognizes that a range of housing types should be permitted including single-family homes, townhouses and multi-family units. It also notes that retail and office uses are appropriate; however, larger retail and office uses should be located along arterial roads. This will allow for convenient services and allow people to work from home.
The property is zoned AR-1 (Agricultural Residential District). The properties to the east and west are zoned AR-1 (Agricultural Residential District). The properties to the north are zoned MR (Medium Density Residential District). The properties to the south are zoned C-1 (General Commercial District) and AR-1(Agricultural Residential District). There are also properties to the east and south zoned B-1 (Neighborhood Business District). The primary uses in the area are residential and commercial. There are a number of Conditional Uses within the immediate vicinity (they include several medical offices and other offices).
Based on the analysis of the land use, surrounding zoning and uses the Conditional Use request to allow for medical offices would be considered consistent with the land use, surrounding zoning and uses.

Mr. Ross stated that he would move that the Commission recommend approval of Conditional Use #2070 for Cape Henlopen School District for a special needs school (The Sussex Consortium) based upon the record made during the public hearing and for the following reasons:
1) The property is zoned AR-1 and it is within the Environmentally Sensitive Developing Area according to the Sussex County Comprehensive Plan.

It is also in proximity to the Route 9 and Sweet Briar Road intersection. This is an appropriate location for this proposed school. 3) The use as a school will benefit families and particularly children of Sussex County. 4) The school addresses a growing need for classroom space for special needs students in Sussex County. 5) The school will be served by central water and it will be part of a Sussex County Sewer District. 6) The State Department of Education, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Office of State Planning Coordination have all approved this site. 7) This recommendation is subject to conditions: a.

Memorandum To: Sussex County Planning Commission Members From: Janelle Cornwell, AICP, Planning & Zoning Director CC: Vince Robertson, Assistant County Attorney and applicant Date: January 19, 2017 RE: Staff Analysis for C/U #2070 Cape Henlopen School District – Sussex Consortium at 17344 Sweetbriar Rd.
This memo is to provide background and analysis for the Planning Commission to consider as a part of application C/U #2070 Cape Henlopen School District – Sussex Consortium to be reviewed during the January 26, 2017 Planning Commission Meeting. This analysis should be included in the record of this application and is subject to comments and information that may be presented during the public hearing.
The request is for a Conditional Use for parcel 235-27.00-20.00 (portion of) to allow for the use of a school. The size of the property to be used for the Conditional Use is 25 ac. +/-. The property is zoned AR-1 (Agricultural Residential District).
The 2008 Sussex County Comprehensive Plan Update (Comprehensive Plan) provides a framework of how land is to be developed. As part of the Comprehensive Plan a Future Land Use Map is included to help determine how land should be zoned to ensure responsible development. The Future Land Use map indicates that the properties have the land use designation Environmentally Sensitive Developing Areas and Mixed Residential Areas.
The surrounding land uses to the north and west are Low Density Areas. There are properties to the south and east have the land use designation of Environmentally Sensitive Developing Areas and Mixed Residential Areas. The Environmentally Sensitive Developing Areas land use designations recognizes that a range of housing types should be permitted including single-family homes, townhouses and multi-family units. Retail and office uses are appropriate; however, larger retail and office uses should be located along arterial roads. Institutional uses can be appropriate to provide for convenient services and allow people to work from home.
The property is zoned AR-1 (Agricultural Residential District). The properties to the north and south are zoned AR-1 (Agricultural Residential District) and GR (General Residential District). The properties to the west are zoned AR-1 (Agricultural Residential District). The properties to the east are zoned GR (General Residential District) and MR (Medium Density Residential District). The primary uses in the area are residential and agricultural. There are no known Conditional Uses in the area.
Based on the analysis of the land use, surrounding zoning and uses the Conditional Use request to allow for school could be considered consistent with the land use, surrounding zoning and uses.

RE: County Council Report for CU 2073 Delmarva Power and Light Company
On November 16, 2016, the Planning and Zoning Department received an application 2073 Delmarva Power and Light Company to allow for an expansion to an electrical substation. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on February 23, 2017. The following are the minutes and motion for the Conditional Use from the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Ms. Cornwell advised the Commission that there was a staff analysis, exhibit book, site plan and agency comments submitted as part of the record.
The Commission found that John Smith was present on behalf of Delmarva Power & Light Company, with Shannon Carmean Burton, Esquire of Sergovic, Carmean, Weidman, McCartney & Owens, and Sonia Manchic-Gody of McCormick Taylor, and stated in their presentation and in response to questions raised by the Commission that the application is for the expansion to an existing electrical substation known as the Midway Substation located on the west side of Coastal Highway (Route 1); that they intend to combine the two existing parcels; that expansion will address the growing needs of the community; that they have over 100 years of service; that they invested over $500 million dollars to improve their infrastructure; that the demand for electricity in the area has created the need for the expansion; that the proposed second transformer on site will reduce disruption; that this site has existed since the 1960’s; that they just upgraded the Five Point Substation; that this expansion will reduce impacts to other substations in the area; that they plan to add a new transformer, three transmission circuit breakers and realign the feeds; that construction will begin the spring of this year; that there will be minimal traffic to the site after completion; that Neil Baker from Delmarva Power stated they talked to Lefty’s and there is an agreement for a 50’ easement to have access to the site; that the area will be fenced in with a 7 foot chain link fence and a buffer to shield from view with a gate that is locked; that the site will have lights that are slanted down and limited for security reasons; that on the south side of the site the trees are to remain; that on the east side of the site there are no tress along Route 1 due to structures on the site and trees are not compatible; that some trees will have to come down for the expansion of the substation; that they reduced buffers due to security issues of the people stealing cooper; that some buffering of vegetation will be placed around the site for the neighbors; that there will be 1 foot of barbed wire placed at the top of the fence; that the limit of disturbance is approximately 1 acre; that electrical equipment is stored inside the fence area; that the stormwater management facility is outside of the

fenced area; that the existing substation will not be disturbed; that the drainage will drain toward Route 1; that they have been operating the Midway Substation since the 1960’s; that the substation was deactivated for a number of years; the substation has since be reactivated to address needs; that this application complies with the Zoning Code; that property is in the C-1 General Commercial District; that there is a mix of commercial and residential use in the surrounding area; that there will be little or no impact to adjacent properties; that the property complies with the current land use plan; and that the fence will have warning signs and emergency contact information posted.
The Commission found that there were no parties in support of or opposition of this application.
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Commission discussed the application.
Mr. Hudson stated that he would move to recommend the approval of CU #2073 for Delmarva Power & Light Company for the conditional use for an expansion to an existing electrical substation based upon the record made during the public hearing and for the following reasons:
1. The property is zoned C-1, and this is the expansion of an existing substation. 2. The Conditional Use for the expansion of an electrical substation is of a public nature, and it will promote the health, safety and welfare of the residents of Sussex County. 3.

Memorandum To: Sussex County Planning Commission Members From: Janelle Cornwell, AICP, Planning & Zoning Director CC: Vince Robertson, Assistant County Attorney and applicant Date: February 17, 2017 RE: Staff Analysis for CU 2073 Delmarva Power & Light Co.
This memo is to provide background and analysis for the Planning Commission to consider as a part of application CU 2073 Delmarva Power & Light Co.to be reviewed during the February 23, 2017 Planning Commission Meeting. This analysis should be included in the record of this application and is subject to comments and information that may be presented during the public hearing.
The request is for a Conditional Use for parcels 334-6.00-496.00 & 497.00 to allow for the expansion of electrical substation. The size of the property to be used for the Conditional Use is 2.493 ac. +/-. The property is zoned C-1 (General Commercial District).
The 2008 Sussex County Comprehensive Plan Update (Comprehensive Plan) provides a framework of how land is to be developed. As part of the Comprehensive Plan a Future Land Use Map is included to help determine how land should be zoned to ensure responsible development. The Future Land Use map indicates that the properties have the land use designation of Highway Commercial Areas and Environmentally Sensitive Developing Areas.
The surrounding land uses to the north, south, east and west Highway Commercial Areas and Environmentally Sensitive Developing Areas. The Environmentally Sensitive Developing Areas land use designations recognizes that a range of housing types should be permitted including single- family homes, townhouses and multi-family units. Retail and office uses are appropriate; however, larger retail and office uses should be located along arterial roads. Institutional uses can be appropriate to provide for convenient services and allow people to work from home. The Highway Commercial Areas land use designation recognizes that retail and service use, other large commercial uses geared toward vehicular traffic and other larger scale commercial uses not primarily targeted to residential areas are appropriate.
The property is zoned C-1 (General Commercial District). The properties to the north, south, east and west are zoned C-1 (General Commercial District). The primary uses in the area are commercial with the existing utility use. There are no know Conditional Uses in the area.
Based on the analysis of the land use, surrounding zoning and uses the Conditional Use request to allow for the expansion of electrical substation could be considered consistent with the land use, surrounding zoning and uses.
