Public Services:
The City will provide Police and Fire protection, and
refuse and recycling collection services. The transit
route Eastside Loop serves this area but currently
there is no bus stop that can serve the proposed
subdivision. With the proposed transit route
Eastside Express new bus stops will be created.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Arlington Development, Inc., is requesting approval for a 139-lot, single-family
residential subdivision with four outlots, on approximately 49.05 acres of land located south of
Lower West Branch Road, north of Court Street, and west of Huntington Drive. Because the
development will result in the disturbance more than 35% of the critical slopes on the property,
rezoning of the property from Low Density Single-Family Residential (RS-5) zone to Planned
Development Overlay-Low Density Single-Family Residential (OPD-5) zone is also required.
The City Council recently approved the rezoning of approximately 20.79-acre land from Interim
Development (ID-RS) to Low Density Single-Family Residential (RS-5) zone, which is part of
this subdivision development.
ANALYSIS:
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan:
The property is located within the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood of the Northeast Planning
District. The Northeast District Plan adopted in 1999 identifies this area as suitable for low
density residential development. The plan envisions a compact neighborhood with
interconnected streets and sidewalks that provides efficient vehicular traffic and safe and
pleasant pedestrian movement. The plan outlines Neighborhood Planning Principles to achieve
such development and emphasizes the importance of preserving the natural features,
pedestrian/bicyclist connections, neighborhood parks, open spaces and diverse housing. The
plan calls for green open spaces between the development and environmentally sensitive
features, treating such features as amenities, providing public access to the preserved natural
features; incorporating green elements such as small neighborhood greens, planting medians,
landscaping along streets; and providing single-loaded streets to open up scenic vistas. A
portion of this land immediately north of Court Street was previously reserved for the Iowa City
School District. As the school district has decided not to pursue the plan to develop a school,
the right to develop this land has reverted back to the applicant.
Zoning and Subdivision Design:
The property contains sensitive areas including a drainage-way-south branch of the Ralston
Creek, hydric soils, areas with steep and critical slopes, and remnants of an old stone railway
bridge. As part of the development the applicant proposes to re-grade most of the critical and
steep slopes. As per the Sensitive Areas Ordinance (SAO) a Level II Sensitive Areas Review is
required if more than 35% of the critical slopes on a property are disturbed. The Level II review
is considered as a planned development and therefore a Planned Development Overlay is
required for the property. The applicant has submitted a Sensitive Areas Development Plan
delineating the sensitive areas and a Grading and Erosion Control Plan. The applicant reports
that the areas steep and critical slopes are man-made slopes that were created to allow terrace
farming. The applicant is not proposing to disturb any other sensitive areas and is providing
erosion control measures and drainage for the areas with hydric soils as per requirements. The
Grading Plan is being reviewed by the City Engineer for compliance with the Grading
Ordinance.
The existing Low Density Single-Family Residential (RS-5) Zone allows for a development with
PCDI$taff Reports\subOS-QOO13 stonebrldgepart5-9-prelim

a maximum density of five dwelling units per acre and a minimum lot area of 8,000 square feet.
The applicant is proposing a subdivision with lot areas ranging from approximately 8,000 square
feet to 29,686 square feet. All the lots in the proposed subdivision meet the minimum standards
for lot size and lot frontage. The street and sidewalk network design proposed (discussed below in
following sections of the report) is generally consistent with the subdivision regulations. The
subdivision development is compatible with the zoning and development pattern of the land
adjacent to this property and in staff's view, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan vision.
The proposed subdivision includes four outlots, primarily along the creek. Outlot B is to be
dedicated to the City to fulfill the neighborhood oprn space requirement. Outlots A, C and 0 have
been set aside as open spaces to be controlled by a homeowner's association. These open
spaces protect the sensitive areas-stream corridor and its associated buffers, the old stone
bridge-and if designed and developed with appropriate landscaping elements will provide the
neighborhood with passive and active recreational spaces.
A Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA) was signed at the time of annexation and rezoning for
this property. The CZA requires that development of the property is planned in accordance with
the neighborhood design policies of the Northeast District Plan and retention of the stone bridge
is ensured in a manner that the provides public access to the feature. The Northeast District
Plan encourages providing recreational trails for recreational purposes and also to provide an
alterative to automobile travel and neighborhood connections. To fulfill the CZA conditions, and
district plan goals, an 8-foot wide trail extending from Court Street in the south up to the
proposed neighborhood open space in the north is shown along the creek. Eventually when the
adjacent property on the east is developed the trail will be extended up to Lower West Branch
Road. If it is structurally feasible, the old stone bridge can be used as a pedestrian bridge over
the creek. With the proposed trial the exiting Windsor Ridge Trails can be extended up to Lower
West Branch Road. The trail is to be built by the applicant/owner with an easement to allow
public access. The neighborhood street and sidewalk network of the proposed subdivision is
connected to the trail at Thames Drive. Staff recommends that a second connection between
the trail and the neighborhood streets and sidewalks should be built from the easement area
between lots 59 and 60.
As part of this development proposal the applicant is responsible for installing a sidewalk along
the Court Street (north side). As a continuation of the trail network and to facilitate convenient
pedestrian crossing staff recommends that a portion of this sidewalk between Arlington Street
and Huntington Drive should be 8 feet wide. The City is responsible for the expense incurred to
install the additional width of the sidewalk.
Some of the lots along Court Street (lots 9 to 16) and Lower West Branch Road (lots 131 to
136) are double fronting lots. Such lots are discouraged by the Comprehensive Plan and the
subdivision regulations. If the lots can not be reconfigured to eliminate double frontage, the
Comprehensive Plan states that dense landscape buffer or earthen berm should be provided
rather than installing a privacy fence. Outlot C extends along Court Street creating a buffer for lots
10 through 16. Additionally, a landscaped buffer with a mix of evergreen trees is shown on the plat
along Court Street and Lower West Branch Road. The trees are to be planted by the
applicant/owner prior to the issuance of any building permits for these lots. If any fences are
installed along the streets, they should be installed to the north side of the landscape buffer along
Court Street and to the south side along Lower West Branch Road. The final plat and legal papers
should specify the requirement regarding the fences and the landscape buffer.
Traffic implications:
Staff estimates that with 139 dwelling units this subdivision would generate approximately 1000
vehicle trips per day. The proposed subdivision can be accessed from Lower West Branch
Road, Court Street, and neighborhood streets-Ghadwick Lane and Eversull Lane-from the
PCO\Staff Reports\sub06-QOO13 stooebridgepar15-9-prelim
4
adjacent subdivision Stone Bridge Estates Part 3 and Part 4 on the west. The property has
close proximity to Taft Avenue, an arterial street on the east. The proposed subdivision will also
be served by Arlington Drive, Colchester Drive, Liverpool Lane, Norfolk Road, Thames Drive
and Whitechapel Drive.
Lower West Branch Road is currently a narrow chip-seal road and needs to be improved to City
Standards. Improvements to Lower West Branch Road are part of the Capital Improvement
Plan for the financial year 2007. The applicant/owner is required to dedicate land to the City as
public right-of-way for Lower West Branch Road and provide necessary utility and construction
easements as specified by the City Engineer. The applicant/owner will also be required to share
the proportional cost of improvement to Lower West Branch Road. Recently, when a portion of
the land (approximately 20.79 acres) along Lower West Road was rezoned it was agreed that
the applicant/owner will pay a total of $133,564.00.
Neighborhood Open Space:
Based on the Neighborhood Open Space Ordinance, a subdivision of this size is required to
dedicate 1.15 acres of open space or pay fees in lieu of dedication. At the time of approval for
the final plat of Windsor Ridge Part 21, it was agreed that the neighborhood open space
dedication requirement for Windsor Ridge Part 21 (0.60 acres) would be fulfilled upon the
development of the land currently under consideration for subdivision. Including both dedication
requirements approximately 1.75 acres in area is required to be dedicated as neighborhood
open space. In the north-east section of the subdivision Outlot B is reserved as open space to
be dedicated to fulfill the neighborhood open space requirement. This land is adjacent to the
remnant of the stone bridge and facilitates adequate public access to this historic structure.
Storm water management:
The applicant is providing onsite storm water sewer infrastructure to convey the storm water to the
creek which carries the 100-year detention to the public storm water management facility-Scott
Park Detention Areas on the south branch of the Ralston Creek. No separate storm water
management facility on the property is required.
Infrastructure fees:
The applicant/owner is required to pay a water main extension fee at a rate of $395 per acre for
this development. As noted above, fees will also be collected for the improvement of Lower West
Branch Road.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that this application be deferred until the deficiencies and discrepancies
noted below are resolved.
Upon the resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies, staff recommends approval for
REl06-00022, rezoning of approximately 49.05 acres of land located south of Lower West
Branch Road, north of Court Street, from Low Density Single-Family Residential (RS-5) zone to
Planned Development Overlay-Low Density Single-Family Residential (OPD -5) zone and
SUB06-00013, a preliminary plat and sensitive areas development plan for Stone Bridge
Estates Parts 5-9 and Re-subdivision of Outlot C of Part Four, a 139-lot, approximately 49.05-
acre residential subdivision.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1) Revised subdivision boundaries, acreage and legal description including the area for
Outlot C of Part Four
2) Lot frontage on lots with curvilinear front lot line should appear on the plat
PCD\Staff Reports\sub06-00013 stonebridgepart5-9-prelim
5
3) The plat should illustrate an 8-foot wide sidewalk on the north side of Court Street between
Arlington Drive and Huntington Drive and on the south side of the Thames Drive up to the
east boundary of lot 67
4) Trail Connection between lot 59 and 60
5) Adjust southeast boundaries for lots 17 and 18 to exclude the stream corridor buffer
