Date: August 14, 1992
To:
Pianning & Zoning Commission
Melody Rockwell,~iate Planner
From:
Re: SUB92-0012. Furrows Edge Acres.
At its August 3, 1992, informal meeting, the Commission indicated its inclination to vote
favorably for tho IS-lot subdivision requested by Karl and Leona Buchmayer, if direct access
to Highway 1 from Lots 1 and 2 were eliminated. A revised preliminary plat has been
submitted in response to the Commission's discussion. This plat shows a cul-de-sec serving
Lots 1 and 2 on the east from Penny Lane. Notes on the plat indicate that Lots 1 and 2 shall
not have direct vehicular access onto Highway 1, .
The staff position remains the same concerning the proposed subdivision design. To minimize
conflict points on Highway 1 with its high volume conditions, the staff advocates that a cui-
de-sac be constructed at the west terminus of Penny Lane. The proposed redesign would
force traffic from 10 to 12 additional households to use Fox Lane, a substandard road, to
access Highway 1. At some point, as more development occurs east of Fox Lane, it is
expected this County Road will need to be upgraded, The subdivision design, when approved,
will have long-term consequences on development in the area, and should not be constrained
by the County's current deferred road maintenance policy.

1. Letter waiving 45-day limitation period to August 20, 1992,

From:
Re:
SUB 92-0012. Furrows Edge Acres Preliminary Plat
At the July 16, 1992, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, staff was requested to
research the number of existing residential lots as well as the potential number of residential
lots, which wouid use Fox Lane to gain access to Highway' 1. I reviewed plat maps and
topographical maps as well as aerial photographs of the area to ascertain the fOllowing
information:
25 Existing
29 Existing + Buchmayer's as proposed or with Fox Lane closed.
39 Existing + Buchmayer's if Penny Lane ends in a cul-de-sac,
62 Existing + Buchmayer's as proposed or with Fox Lane closed, and with 100
acres at the east end of Fox Lane fuliy developed in three-acre lots.
72 EXisting + Buchmayer's if Penny Lane ends in a cul-de-sac, plus 100 acres to
the east fully developed in three-acre lots.
'Existing = The existing residential lots include eleven (11) in Woodland Hills, Part I, twelve
(12) in Woodland Hills, Part II, and two (2) separate acreages,
*B chma er's as ro ose or wi h Fox Lane cl ed at its west erminus = Four (4) lots
within the proposed subdivision with direct access to Fox Lane, ten (10) lots with direct
access to Penny Lane, and two (2) lots with direct access to Highway 1.
*Buchmaver's if Pennv Lane ends in a cul-de-sac at its west terminus = Fourteen (14) lots
within the proposed subdivision with the only access to Highway 1 being via Fox Lane,
and two (2) lots with direct access to Highway 1,
'lQQ undevelooed acres to the east = If Fox Lane were extended east, It appears there are
approximately 20 acres to the north (Frees property) and potentially 80 acres to the south
(Schintler property), which, if developed, would probably access Highway 1 via Fox Lane,
The topography of steep, wooded ravines and waterways appear to be barriers to
development further to the east being able to access Fox Lane. The eXisting subdivisions
to the north and south as well as the topography In both areas and on the east appear to

Planning & Zoning Commission's comments regarding access onto Highway 1 for this
proposed subdivision. Doug does not oppose a design which would cul-de-sac Fox Laneat
the highway, with access to Fox Lane provided by an access easement over Penny Lane.
Doug stated the County's policy is not to have access to a publicstreet provided via a private
street. However, he feels an agreement could be worked out in this situation because Fox
Lane is not a significant street in the County system. Doug indicated he has encouraged the
establishment of. Fox Lane as a private drive, but this has not been acceptable to the private
developer.
Doug does not favor a design which would keep the Fox Lane access to Highway 1 open,
with Penny Lane established as a cul.de.sac off of Fox Lane. Doug feels Fox Lane is
geometrically substandard enough that he does not want to add any additional traffic to it.
This concern might be nullified if Fox Lane were disposed of by the County and established
as a private drive. Although Iowa DOT has indicated sight distance to Highway 1 is adequate
at either the Fox Lane or proposed Penny Lane locations, Doug favors the Penny Lane
location. It is possible for a private entity to improve a County road, but Doug feels in the
case of Fox Lane the private entity would be better off acquiring the street.
Doug indicated that I accurately represented to you the County's position regarding any
improvement to Fox Lane. When determining how County road funds will be spent, the Board
of Supervisors considers improvements to a half.mile long dead-end street to be low priority.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter,

easements have been designated along
all rights-of-way for gas, electricity, tele-
phone, cablevlslon, sanitary sewers,
water mains and storm sewer drainage,
Public services:
Police protection is provided by Johnson
County with fire protection provided by
the Solon Fire Department. Sanilatlon
service will be provided privately.
Transportation:
The site is accessible from Fox Lane NE,
an existing two-lane county road, and
from Highway 1 NE.
Physical Characteristics:
There Is a high grassy ridge along the
east boundary of the site, which Is sepa-
rated from the roiling hills on the western
portion of the site by a wooded ravine.
BACKGROUND:
On January 9, 1992, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the Buchmayers' request
to rezone from A-1 to RS.3 approximately 64.5 acres located Immediately east of Highway 1 In
Fringe Area 4. The Commission voiced concerns about a) Increasing access points on Highway
1, b) adding more traffic to Fox Lane, which the Johnson County Engineer has described as a
narrow, hilly road with sight distance problems, and c) protecting the steep, wooded ravine
located on the site. The Commission concluded that a rezoning of the property from A-1, Rural,
to RS-3, Suburban Residential, would not meet the Fringe Area 4 standards for residential
development, and voted 6-0 to deny the requested rezoning. On January 21, 1992, the City
Council concurred with the Planning and Zoning Commission, and by a vote of 6-1 , recommended
that the rezoning be denied.
On January 16, 1992, the Board of Supervisors approved the rezoning by a vote of 3-1. Because
zoning regulation In the Fringe Areas remains under the authority of the Johnson County Board
of Supervisors, the rezoning was approved through the Board's action. Karl and Leona
Buchmayer are now requesting preliminary plat approval of Furrows Edge Acres, a 16-lot, 67.3
acre residential subdivision. [The 2.8 acre discrepancy between the 64.5 acres rezoned and the
67.3 acres of the requested subdivision Is due to the 2.8 acres of Highway 1 right-of-way Included
as part of the preliminary plat for Furrows Edge Acres.]
ANALYSIS:
The proposed SUbdivision lies within Fringe Area 4 Immediately east of Highway 1 and north of
Fox Lane. The preliminary plat indicates three access points from the subdivision to Highway 1:
an existing County road, Fox Lane; a proposed road, Penny Lane, and a common access
easement for Lots 1 and 2. A connecting roadway between Fox Lane and Penny Lane Is noted
on the plat as a reservation to be dedicated upon annexation to the City of Iowa City. The
wooded ravines are Indicated generally on the plat. A dotted overlay depicts the areas of the site
containing slopes of 20% or more. A pond and stormwater basin are shown In the southeast area
of the tract. Because this subdivision is designed such that a new street Is to be constructed,
namely Penny Lane, the City Rural Design Standards require that telephone and electric utilities
/~(Pg

within the development be placed underground, Preliminary stormwater calculations have been
submitted and approved by the City Public Works Department.
Forty acres of the subject tract apparently have not been deeded properly. These 40 acres are
still shown as held by Joseph and Neva Buchmayer, parenls of the applicant, Kari Buchmayer.
This discrepancy must be resolved prior to final plat approval.
Fringe Area Policy Agreement
According to the Fringe Area Policy Agreement, subdivision regulation of property within the two-
mile extraterritorial area of Iowa City comes under the City's authority. The policy for Fringe Area
4, where the proposed subdivision is located, states that a limited amount of residential
development will be permitted on properties east of Highway 1. Agrlcuitural use Is the preferred
use on any of those properties which do not meet the following standards:
1. The development will not require construction or reconstruction of a public road by
the City or the County.
2. The proposed development will not have a negative Impact on surrounding
properties.
Fox Lane.
The proposed subdivision shows three access points from the development to Fox Lane, a hiliy,
two-lane gravel County road. The 011 and chip surface has been paid for by residents of the
Woodland Hills Subdivision located south of Fox Lane. According to the County Engineer, Fox
Lane Is a road with poor grading and sight distances. Because of its proximity to the crest of the
hill east on Fox Lane, the common access easement for Lots 13 and 14 onto Fox Lane has been
relocated to obtain adequate sight distances, In accordance with the attached June 16, 1992,
correspondence from the Johnson County Engineer.
Permitting access from four lots (Lots 13-16) of the Furrows Edge Acres subdivision should not
create sufficient additional traffic to require reconstruction of Fox Lane by the City or by the
County In the future. Because the majority of traffic from the subdivision Is expected to access
Highway 1 via Penny Lane, and because the access points onto Fox Lane have sufficient slghl
distance, only a very minimal negative Impact on surrounding properties may occur, In terms of
adding to the safety problems already associated with the road.
HIQhwav 1.
Public safety concerns Indicate that access to a two-lane roadway with Average Daily Traffic
(ADT) of 5,600 should be carefully controlled, and whenever possible, eliminated. This Is the
case with Highway 1 In the vicinity of the proposed subdivision. The Iowa Department 01
Transportation has advised area transportation offlciais, that aithough an ADT of 5,600 wouid
have formerly warranted the developmenl of a four-lane highway, lOOT has no plans to widen
Highway 1 Immediately north of Iowa City. This Is due to the alternate north-south routes (1-380,
965) available wilhln this area. To preserve as much capacity as possible on Highway 1, access
should be reslrlcled to Intersecting major streets to the degree possible.
Direct Access: Lots 1 and 2. Staff would prefer that direct access from LoIs 1 and 2 to Highway
1 not be permllled. However, the steep slopes located between Lots 2 and 3 create a barrier to
constructing a road connecting Lots 1 and 2 with Penny Lane anywhere except along the west

boundary of the property paralleling Highway 1. According to the City Public Works Departmenl,
a frontage road along Highway 1 would be less safe than the proposed direct access from two
large rural subdivision lots, This is due to the confusion caused by headlights on an adjacent,
parallel route for people traveling Highway 1 at night.
I
Penny Lane Cul.de-sac. The Information cn sight dlslances for the proposed access points to
Highway 1 Indicates (See Allachment2, IDOT Correspondence) that, by realigning Penny Lane
75 feet south of Its original location on the preliminary plat, all three locations of access to
Highway 1 for the proposed subdivision (Fox Lane, Penny Lane and the common access for Lots
1 and 2) meet or exceed the desirable sight distance criteria established by lOOT. The desirable
sight distance Is 725 feet for a 55 mph speed zone and the minimum sight dislance Is 550 feet.
The proposed access points should not pose a safety problem In terms of sight distances.
The sight distances at the Fox Lane intersection with Highway 1 are well above the desirable
levels [1,000+ feet to the south and 875 feet to the ncrth]. The Fox Lane access to Highway 1
is preferable to the realigned Penny Lane access location, which Just meets the desirable sight
dislance level 1725 feet] to the south, and exceeds it by only 75 feet [800 feet] to the north. To
minimize confl/ct points on a roadway with high volume conditions, the Commission may wish to
consider a redesign of the subdivision which eliminates one access point from this development
to Highway 1, This could be accompllshod by constructing a cul-de-sac at the west terminus of
Penny Lane. The traffic generated by Lots 3 through 12 could then access Highway 1 via Fox
Lane, using the connecting road between Penny Lane and Fox Lane. This would restrict traffic
generated by 14 of the 16 lots of Furrows Edge Acres to the Fox Lane access to Highway 1.
If direct access from Penny Lane to Highway 1 were closed off through the construction of a cul-
de-sac, the resultant cul-de-sac street lengths would exceed the gOO-foot limit set by City
Ordinance. It Is approximately 1,450 feet from Fox Lane to the east Penny Lane cul-de-sac, and
would be approximately 1,100 feet from Fox Lane to the proposed west Penny Lane cul-de.sac.
The length of Penny Lane from Highway 1 to the east cui-de-sac, as the subdivision Is currently
designed, Is approximately 1,200 feet. Given the low density for the development, however, these
cul-de.sac street lengths should not pose a problem.
The proposed redesign would force traffic from ten additional households to use Fox Lane, a
substandard road, to access Highway 1. It should be stressed that the City's concerns are based
on an evaluation of what would be optimal for residential development In the area, both now and
In the future; of looking beyond short-term solutions. At some point, as more development occurs
east of Fox Lane, It Is expected this County road will need to be upgraded. It Is staff's view that
decisions concerning the design of developments should be made with the standard of public
safety held as paramount.
3. Conflicts between residential development and existing farm uses should be
minimized.
The AS.3 zoning of the sUbJect tract requires a minimum of three acres per lot. This standard,
the siting of the residential bUilding sites away from the boundaries of the property adjacent to
agricultural uses, and the wooded ravines, which serve as a natural buffer for many of the lois,
should diminish potential conflicts between lhe propcsed residential uses and existing farm uses.

4. The development should allow for the protection of natural areas such as steep
slopes, wetlands and forested areas.
The fourth standard requires the development to protect natural areas, such as steep slopes,
wetlands, and forested areas. Development within the heavily wooded ravines on this tract
should be avoided to prevent erosion and ailow for the preservation of trees and natural drainage
patterns. Slopes of 20% or more have been depicted on the preliminary plat with a dotted
overlay. A note on the plat slates that house and absorption field construction shall be prohibited
on side slopes of 20% or greater. This should preclude the development of septic drainage fields
as weil as residential structures within the immediate vicinity of the wooded ravines. Thus, the
plat, as proposed, appears to meet the standard protecting natural areas.
Except for the Issue concerning limiting aCCess to Highway 1, the proposed preliminary plat for
Furrows Edge Acres appears overali to meet the four standards for permitting limited residential
development In this area of Fringe Area 4.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the preliminary plat for Furrows Edge Acres be approved, but encourages
that accommodations be made In the preliminary plat design to decrease the number of access
points from tho development to Highway 1. Approval of the plat acknowledges that the
subdivision specification limiting the length of a cul.de.sac street to 900 feet is waived for this
development.

Dear Mr. Mickelson,
Please find enclosed copy of the Iowa Department of
Transportation policy for access to primary highways. As you can
see the desirable sight distance is 725 feet for a 55 mph speed
zone and the minimum sight 'distance is 550 feet. .
Sight distances to the proposed Furrows Edge Acres subdivision
adjacent to Iowa 1 areas follows:
1. N.E. Fox Lane- 1000+ ft. south and 875+ ft. north
2. Originally proposed Penny Lane at highway station 190+03- 650
ft. south and 800+ north.
R~vised proposed Penny Lane at highway station 189+28 - 725+
ft. south and 800+ ft. north.
3, Proposed access between lots 1 and 2 at highway station
197+24- 800+ ft. south and 1000+ ft. north.
If the location of Penny Lane is shifted 75 ft. south from its
original location of highway station 190+03 to highway station
189+28 all locations of access to the proposed subdivision will
meet or exceed the desirable sight distance criteria covered in
our policy,
If you wish or are required to change the location of any of the
locations of the accesses to the proposed subdivision, please
return the original access permit applications to this office for
revision.

To whom it may concern:
On June 15, 1992, I visited the site of the proposed subdivision
Furrows Edge Acres to look at the location for a proposed common
drive between lots 13 &14. After checking the location which
was marked by MMS consultants, Inc. I advised Bob Mickelson that
the proposed drive should be shifted either approximately 280'
West to the location of an existingfileld entrance or approximate-
ly 200' East to a point across from Woodland Drive.
Mr. Mickelson then informed me by phone that the drive would be
shifted the 200 feet East to a point across from Woodland Drive.
Once the proper permits have been filed with the Johnson County
Secondary Road Department we will have no problem approving the
loca tion for a common drive for onl v 2 lots. It is my
understanding that if and when Iowa city annexes this area the
common drive would be changed to a road serving the rest of the
addition. This may not be done while Johnson County has
jurisdiction over Fox Lane.
If there are questions please feel free to contact our office.

Re: Furrows Edge Acres Subdivision
Dear Melody:
I represent Karl and Leona Buclunayer who are developing a 16
lot subdivision known as Furrows Edge Acres SUbdivision. I have
received a copy of the deficiencies and discrepancies noted on
the preliminary plat review of Furrows Edge Acres that was sent
to Robert Mickelson at MMS Consultants.
I believe that Mr. MiCkelson will be able to take care of
the deficiencies and discrepancies noted in your letter to him.
As far as the 40 acres deeded to the parents'of the applicant, I
will take care of this in the near future. I believe that all
the problems noted on the preliminary plat should be taken care
of in a reasonable amount of time.
The County Zoning Department is waiting to act as soon as
the City completes their review of the plat. Since the sUbdivi-
sion is,only within the extra territorial two mile limit of Iowa
City, I would request that the consideration be expedited, If
you have any questions or concerns about this,matter, please feel
free to contact me. Thank you for your cooperation.
