NORTHEAST IOWA CITY DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSION
Reel 94-101, Side 2
PCD Director Franklin and Assistant PCD Director Davidson presented brief comments
summarizing background information about northeast Iowa City development.
Atkins presented maps of the northeast Iowa City development area including proposed east-west
arterial alignment options A and B, Franklin stated that staff would like a decision from City
Council regarding the location of a traffic signal on Dodge Street in the ACT vicinity. Franklin
explained that staff has a request from ACT to signalize Dodge Street and ACT would like to have
that signal located at the drive that exits ACT across from ACT Circle. Franklin asked Council
to address the east-west arterial alignment decision so that the signalized intersection with Dodge
Street can be located.
Franklin reviewed the existing policies for the area as follows:
Comprehensive Plan Land Uses, Franklin explained that the comprehensive plan calls for office
and research development park around the interchange of 1-80 and Highway One and low density
single-family residential in the undeveloped portions of the area just north of Rochester and west
of Seven Sisters Road or Scott Boulevard extended and a medium density residential in the
Foster Road area.
Zoning. Franklin stated that the zoning-in place reflects an RS-12 in the Foster Road area; ID-
ORP; ID-RS. Franklin explained the ID indicates interim development and the reason for that
designation was due to lack of infrastructure - sewer, roads and/or water.
Adopted Capital Improvements Program 1995.2001. Franklin explained that the adopted CIP
program includes Scott Boulevard Phase I - FY96; Dodge Street - Governor to Dubuque Road -
FY97; East-West Arterial - FY97; Waterline - FY96; Highlander Lift Station and Sanitary Sewer
Line . FY95. Franklin stated that Scott Boulevard phases two and three; East.West Arterial

phases two and three; and Foster Road - North Dubuque Street to Prairie du Chein are adopted
Capital Improvement Program Projects for after 2001. Franklin referred to a map and located all
of the CIP projects.
Franklin reviewed brief history of development issues in the area:
First and Rochester Subdivision Secondary Access Issue, Franklin stated that most of the
area is developed except for 40 acres just east along Hickory Trail. Franklin stated there needs
to be other means of access because First Avenue is the only way to access the area.
, _ACT Development. Franklin noted that ACT employees have requested signalization and the
Traffic Engineer has done some studies and there are warrants for signalization. Franklin
explained the problems with putting the signal at the ACT Drive has to do with what the DOT
would require in terms of improvements to Dodge Street to the ramp off of I-ao. Franklin noted
the vacation of Dubuque Road and ACT commitment to dedicating the right-of-way for a portion
of the East-West Arterial and First Avenue at such time as the City elected to construct First
Avenue to the ACT southerly property line.

Dodge Street Traffic Issues Including Prairie du Chein Road Intersection, Assistant PCD
Director Davidson presented information about the Dodge Street traffic issues. Davidson stated
that the Prairie du Chein intersection is one of the City's major traffic concerns and is starting to
get an accident history. Davidson stated that the City has received a request from Plum Grove
Acres for development, and if that development did occur the City would want a street constructed
between Prairie du Chein and Dubuque. ID
Davidson stated the Traffic Engineer and City staff have looked at the request for signalization
on Dodge Street in the ACT vicinity. Davidson stated the IDOT would require the entire length
of the corridor to be reconstructed including both interchange ramps if the City signalized ACT
Circle intersection. Davidson presented the East-West Arterial Alignment options A and B.
Council and Planning and Zoning Commission members discussed the East-West Arterial
Alignments as outlined in options A and B. Planning and Zoning Commission member Bovbjerg
raised concerns about the speed on the proposed East-West Arterial Alignment. Davidson
explained that there are design speeds for Arterials and Iowa City does have arterials that range
from 45 miles per hour down to 20 miles per hour in school zones. Bovbjerg commented that the
arterial could be designed for a maximum speed. Kubby suggested designing the alignment
further south and coming up with two cUlves. Davidson stated there are design standards for
horizontal and vertical curves on arterial streets. Schmadeke noted that as the alignment goes
further south it goes deeper into a valley.

Throgmorton asked for an opportunity to present an alternate way of framing positions regarding
development in the northeast part of Iowa City. Throgmorton presented a set of slides that
showed the area northeast of Hickory Hill Park, and Hickory Hill Park. Throgmorton stated that
roughly half of the land northeast of Hickory Hill Park should not be developed and built on
because the slopes are too steep, the soils are subject to flooding, and the wooded ravines
provide important habitat. Throgmorton stated that 1) extending First Avenue to the north so that
it intersects with the East-West arterial will divide the wildlife habitat into two smaller and less
viable regions; 2) if First Avenue is extended north so it connects with the East-West arterial, it
will cause the land immediately north of Hickory Hill Park to be converted to housing; and 3) it
will radically alter the character of being in the park. Throgmorton proposed adopting policies that

would ensure that development will sustain the area's unique character and integrity and
encourage development of a new neighborhood which would be beautiful, affordable and
sustainable, while conserving large amounts of wooded ravines and open space. Throgmorton
proposed to leave First Avenue as it is; creating ecological preservation zone; build the East.West
arterial and to extend Scott Boulevard north; rezone the open hills in the northeast area for
redevelopment as a coherent neighborhood; establish a combination of a OPDH and CN-1 zone.
Throgmorton stated the City would need to modify the OPDH and CN.1 zones to incorporate
design guidelines and he would urge the City provide bus service and pedestrian and bike trails
leading into and around the ecological preservation zone. Kubby stated that Council should
consider policy decisions that can be made to develop the whole area with the same density but
preserve large tracts of land that are sensitive. Scott noted that there would still be government
intrusion into the development process via zoning, design, and public works. Scott stated that
if Council and Planning and Zoning are going to look at an OPDH imposed overlay zone in the
environmentally sensitive areas, they are going to have to view particular codes with greater
flexibility. Lehman stated that the City will still need to build some streets to, move traffic along.
In response to Novick, Throgmorton stated that he does not want to extend First Avenue north
to the East-West arterial because the people of Iowa City love Hickory Hill Park and that park
experience would be changed dramatically as soon as First Avenue was extended and First
Avenue extension would impact on the wildlife in the Hickory Hill Park area. Horowitz suggested
finding out the wildlife migration paths in the area. Scott stated strong arguments against
extension of First Avenue would include political reasons and that First Avenue would become
an arterial as opposed to Scott Boulevard. Franklin stated that the First Avenue extension is not
programmed currently in the CIP. Council and Planning and Zoning Commission members
discussed First Avenue extension and arterial and secondary access issues.
Horowitz asked City Attorney Gentry if the City can legally impose an OPDH on the area. Gentry
stated yes. Gentry explained that there would have to be a designated map similar to the
sensitive areas map and the City would have to go through rezoning of the land as if it were an
overlay. Gentry suggested establishing the OPDH imposed overlay zone in combination with a
transfer development rights ordinance. Gentry explained a transfer development rights 'was
something that permit that a property owner has certain rights embodied in the land and if those
rights were restricted in terms of imposing the OPDH overlay, that the City would permit that
person who owned the property in lieu of development to set it aside for some environmental
sensitive purpose, But then the City would permit that person to take those development rights
that they would have otherwise have had on that land and move it to other property within the
city. Bovbjerg stated that the OPDH imposed overlay would help preserve sensitive areas.
Gentry stated the City would want to preserve some flexibility as well as some specificity, Council
and Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the OPDH imposed overlay and transfer of
development rights ordinance, Scott stated that currently Iowa City did not get the standard
cookie-cutter subdivision and by and large a lot of the developers would like to do things
differently. In response to Lehman, Franklin stated that First Avenue had been envisioned as an
arterial. Lehman stated that the City should not abandon consideration of First Avenue extended.
Franklin noted that people living along Dodge and Governor Streets want some relief from the
traffic that is coming down through Dodge/Governor couplet to access downtown Iowa City or
southeast Iowa City.
Pigott stated that he is heartened to hear Council and Planning and Zoning consider the Idea
development concept as proposed by Throgmorton. Throgmorton asked if staff could layout the
possibilities and what specific hurdles Council would have to go over to establish a concept as

outlined by Throgmorton, Scott stated that the discussion that would take place in consideration
of Throgmorton's development concept would also take place in consideration of an OPDH
imposed overlay zone for sensitive areas. Scott stated that Council and Planning and Zoning
Commission would need to still answer the same questions going through the OPDH overlay zone
for environmentally sensitive areas.
Scott addressed the location of the east.west arterial alignment. Gibson suggested that the City
may be able to cut the economic costs associated with option B by looking at some re-
engineering of the intersection. Franklin summarized that Planning and Zoning Commission and
Council seem to be interested in lining up with the existing intersection, avoiding houses and
looking at curves in the road, Lehman noted concerns of liability when intersections don't meet.
Kubby asked if Council could direct staff to show Council the possibilities associated with
Throgmorton's development concept. Planning and Zoning Commission and Council discussed
the OPDH imposed overlay and environmentally sensitive areas. Throgmorton stated there
should be a mix of residential and small commercial in the clustered development. Scott
reminded Council and Planning and Zoning Commission that staff would like them to address the
location of alignment of the east.west arterial alignment options A or B. Pigott stated that Council
would like a blend of AlB. Council and Commission concurred, Lehman stated that he would like
to see a list of the pluses and minuses of not connecting First Avenue to the east.west arterial.

Franklin asked the expectation of the timeframe for the planned neighborhood overlay zone.
Scott stated he would like the overlay zone implemented prior to the construction season of 1995.
Throgmorton stated that he would like to see it adopted before Scott Boulevard extended and
east.west arterial are built. Franklin stated a July 1 timetable would mean that other things in the
Urban Planning Division work program would be set aside. Franklin stated that the Urban
Planning Division would probably set aside reviewed development ordinances for barriers to the
provision of affordable housing, review the northside RM.12 zoning area, examine regulations
governing the use of exterior stairwells, review definitions of awnings, and review regulation of
changeable copy signs. Starr stated that he does not want to see the review development
ordinances for barriers to the provision of affordable housing set aside, Franklin stated that the
neighborhood overlay zone could be considered without doing the transfer of development rights
immediately. She felt the July 1 target date could be met,
Council and Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the Woodlands Conservation Ordinance,
Throgmorto'n raised concerns about allowing for public input. Novick stated that it is not fair to
bring the public in for public input on a Woodlands Ordinance if Council does not expect to adopt
it. Throgmorton raised concerns about what would happen in terms of development if the
Woodlands Ordinance was not adopted. Scott stated that until there is secondary access,
development is not going to go anywhere.
There was no interest to pursue the Woodlands Conservation Ordinance.
