MEMORANDUM

To: Clly Council
~
From: Robert S. Wachal
Re: Whispering Meadows Subdivision
I am concerned about the Impact of tho proposod Whlsporlng Moadows Devolopment on tho
wollands on this proporty. I voice my concern, not os the Rlvorfront Commission Chalrporson,
bocause these particular woUnnd$ !Ire not within the Ooodplnln, and thoreforo oro nol within tho
Commission's Jurlsdlcllon. This memorandum Is addrossod, thon, from a frlond 01 the Council on
this onvlronmentally senslllve Issuo.
Allhough It Is grallfylng 10 know thai tho Clly Is seeking professional help on management 01 the
wellands, I would stress thatlhe evaluallon of Ihe development's ellecls on Ihe wellands should
precede plat approval. The Corps of Englneors and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources
review will only encompass direct or primary Impacls, such as fill or cons~ucllon that occurs
directly within the wellands:
The Sludy 01 secondary Impacts, such as slorm waler discharge or sediment deposlllon Into tho
wotlands, Is roqulrod In sarno slatos by law, and In somo communlllos by local ordlnanco. this
Is not tho coso In Iowa or In Iowa Clly, Secondary or Indlrecllmpacts will only be addressed In
this caso If the City decides 10 underwrlle on Indopondonl evaluation of Ihe situation. I
respocllully requostthaltho Clly delormlno wholhor the subdivision os deslgnod would provo
harmful to the wellands " prior 10 orellmlnary olat aooroval.

DEPARTMENT
FROM: Terry Trueblood
RE: Land acquisition
A new housing development, known as Whispering Meadows, is
being proposed for southeast Iowa City, near Lakeside Drive (maps
enclosed). The question has been raised as to whether or not the
City should pursue acquisition of an existing wetlands area and/or
land for a neighborhood park in the immediate vicinity of this
proposed development,
I hove discussed this matter with stoff members of the
Planning and Program Developmont Department, and John Watson has
attended a planning and zoning commission meeting, where these
items were discussed,
John and I are in agreement that we should probably not
pursue acquisition of the wetlands area, but a two- or three-acre
parcel for development of a neighborhood park would be desirable.
This could be a city park if the developer should dedicate tho land
to tho city, or it could be a "private" park, possibly maintained
by a home owners' association or somo other method, It is my
understanding that the developor has not offerod to dedicate any
land at this time,
) i
I, ,I
In sumlllary, it is our rocolDl1londation that we not pursue
acquisition of tho wetlands area, and that a neighborhood park be
devoloped. If any of ycu disagree with this, please let either
John or lIIe know of your feelings,
Also, ploase keep in lIIind that the City council lIIakes the
final decision on all land acquisition matters,

The IDNR Water Quality Planning soction does not regulate the

indicate that no permit trom this departmont is required.
The U,S. Army Corp ot Enginoors regulatos the placoment ot till
