Holecek, Assistant City At orney _ City Administrative Review and A roval of Single Divisions f Land . Re: We propose amending the City's subdivision regul ions to require any division of land (except minor boundary line adjustments) to be administratively reviewed and approved by the City prior to recording. The purpose of this amendment is to prevent division of land (i.e. dividing a tract into two parcels) in violation of the zoning and subdivision regulations. The City's subdivision code does not regulate the division of land until it is divided into three or more parcels. Therefore, any single division of land within the city is not reviewed for compliance with City codes prior to recording. This has created the problem of land being divided in non-compliance with City regulations and, in some situations, done with the primary purpose of circumventing City regulations. If illegal land divisions are discovered, it is after recording which makes them difficult/impossible to bring into compliance, requires extensive amounts of staff time, and often involves litigation. The problems created by illegal divisions burden the City, property owners, and neighbors. Furthermore, they undermine the purpose of the zoning and subdivision regulations. The proposed amendment involves the City in the decision making process before costly mistakes are created. The expertise of City staff in zoning and subdivision regulations would be used to help property owners properly divide land rather than being unnecessarily wasted with unresolvable illegal divisions. (Note: Johnson County and Coralville review single divisions.) The proposed amendment provides administrative review of land divisions which addresses the illegal land division problem by: 1. Preventing illegal division of land. The early involvement of the City through the review of proposed land divisions before land is conveyed provides early detection of problems and allows corrective action to be taken. It is much easier to properly divide land than it is to correct mistakes after a land division is recorded and property conveyed. 2. Providing technical assistance to propert.Y owners in dividing land. The City has the best expertise available regarding City zoning and subdivision regulations. Under this proposal, property owners will be required to consult with the City regarding the proper division of land prior to recording. City staff would provide a service to property owners. ,...~.-: ' '.- , ")'-;";" , , " " ,'. .- ,i" c>. ,,' " ,:~" . " ,,'~;):~,' ': , ,,:1",". , ' .

The proposed amendment requires the City to issue a Certificate of Compliance for any land division reviewed. This certificate is necessary for the recording of a division of land. The certificate will be recorded, will document compliance with city regulations on a specific date and will protect present and future property owners. 4. Reducing cost of enforcement. City review and approval of land division prior to recording will eliminate illegal land divisions and therefore reduce enforcement actions and costs. 5. Piggybacking on existing regulations/standards. No additional zoning/subdivision regulations or standards are being proposed. The City administrative review of land divisions is designed to check only for compliance with ,existing zoning and subdivision regulations. 6. Using City expertise in a positive manner which improves public relations. This law would eliminate the confrontational nature that presently exists when illegal land divisions are discovered. The City will be extending its expertise to help property owners divide land in conformance with existing regulations, instead of being in a position of threatening legal action to enforce compliance. 7. Allowing minor boundary line adjustments without City review and approval. The proposed amendment exempts from City review minor boundary line adjustments (i.e. lot line relocations resulting in conveyance of less than 1,000 square feet of land). While boundary ,line adjustments can create problems with Code compliance, it is our experience that minor boundary line adjustments are not a problem and should be exempted from review. However, boundary line adjustments resulting in transfer of larger parcels are typically done to increase development potential and will impact the overall development intensity in neighborhoods. Illegal major boundary line adjust- ments are difficult to resolve and may create harm to existing neighborhoods; they should be subject to City review and approval. In closing, the sole purpose of the proposed administrative review of land divisions by Housing and Inspection Services and the City Attorney's office is to make existing laws work better by achieving compliance in the easiest manner possible, which is working with citizens by helping them divide land. Early detection and problem solving of land division issues is a more efficient and effective use of public and private resources than litigation after the fact. Given the opportunity, most property owners prefer compliance, and this amendment will clearly provide that opportunity. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. b~divl.nd ',', ..'. .....,..........,........'..,. ,~:, ' ,': ',:' " :,,~'~':,'-'I;~'.,:' '\ ";O..jl,~'i', '.

The Planning and Zoning Commission has requested information regarding the schedule of public improvements in the vicinity of the proposed Hy-Vee site. The City Engineer has indicated that the connection of the two wastewater treatment plant facilities will occur between the fall of 1995 and the fall of 1997. In conjunction with this project, the portion of Waterfront Drive, which is located west of the Crandic Railroad, will be rebuilt. If possible, a more specific estimate regarding the timing of the construction of this section of the wastewater treatment and street rebuilding project will be available at the Commission's meeting. The City Engineer has also indicated that the extension of Southgate Avenue to the west from its current intersection with Waterfront Drive will occur in the fiscal year 1997. Actual construction might begin as early as July 1996. The City has only programmed funds to extend Southgate across the railroad tracks. The City is negotiating with Paul Kennedy, the owner of the property between the railroad tracks and Gilbert Street, to extend the street farther west to Gilbert Street. The Commission may wish to consider a recommendation to the City Council that the Southgate Avenue extension be given higher priority in the capital improvements program, if the proposed Hy-Vee rezoning is to be approved. As outlined in the July 21 staff report, the following issues should be addressed in a conditional rezoning agreement: ' Waterfront Drive will be reconfigured and Stevens Drive will be extended across the railroad to provide access to the property from the west. The applicant will be responsible for the cost of the Stevens Drive railroad crossing. The City will rebuild Waterfront Drive and Stevens Drive west of the railroad. ;~,7: 1. .. !

L.';" Hy-Vee Food Stores Inc. has asked that the subject 5.52 acre property be rezoned from CI-1 to CC-2 to allow the construction of a new grocery store. The subject property is to the south of the existing Hy-Vee, Drug Town stores and Contractors Tool and Supply located on Highway 6. The existing Contractors Tool and Supply building would be removed and the site would become part of the Hy-Vee parking lot. The existing Hy-Vee and Drug Town stores would become available for other retail uses. ANALYSIS: ,~ Land Use Compatibility: The proposed rezoning area contains one of the few large vacant tracks in the commercial area located south of Highway 6. The surrounding areas are generally developed with commercial land uses. Properties to the north, which front along Highway 6, are zoned CC-2 and generally developed with retail commercial uses, however , I; T ~3'J _ 'ij"":::.:"'~' ',"~'" .....,..':.

J.;,,; ~ ,,,' __ ':'\':':"~.",_'..t~.~,_,.".__ , " 2 there are some intensive commercial uses such as automobile dealerships located along the Highway 6 frontage. The areas to the east, south, and west are zoned CI-1 and developed with generally more intensive commercial uses. The proposed rezoning would extend the retail type commercial uses to the south farther away from Highway 6. The proposed zoning pattern would be similar to the zoning pattern in the vicinity of EconoFoods and the K-Mart shopping center approximately 1/4 mile to the east, and in general would be compatible with the existing and planned land uses in the area. However, the proposed CC-2 rezoning is likely to lead to development of uses which generate more traffic than would be expected in the existing CI-' zone. Because of the street configuration and existence of an operating railroad in this area, this increased traffic potential should be examined closely. Transportation: Access to the subject site is via Boyrum Street on the east, Waterfront Drive and Stevens Drive from the west. From Boyrum Street traffic is generally anticipated to be coming from and traveling to Highway 6 and the Pepperwood area to the south. From Waterfront Drive traffic will generally be going to and coming from Gilbert Street approximate- ly 1/4 mile to the west. Access from the west will require a railroad crossing. It should be noted that the northern access point is the existing westerly access point to the existing Hy- Vee store and a railroad crossing is already in place. The existing Waterfront Drive railroad crossing south of Stevens Drive is not an ideal situation for traffic safety reasons. Because this proposed development is expected to generate considerably more traffic in this area, it would not be appropriate to allow access to the Hy-Vee site from the west via the present configuration of Waterfront Drive. Staff has been working with the applicant to devise a plan which would improve access from the west. The concept plan enclosed (Exhibit A) illustrates the possible reconfiguration of Waterfront Drive and Stevens Drive to provide access from the west to the proposed Hy-Vee site. This plan is further discussed below. Another concern regarding access by Waterfront Drive is the intersection of Waterfront Drive with Gilbert Street. This existing intersection occurs approximately 200 feet south of the intersection of Highway 6 and Gilbert Street. There are currently problems with vehicles stacking on Gilbert Street when stopping for the light at the intersection of Gilbert Street and Highway 6. Numerous commercial driveways onto Gilbert Street in this vicinity also contribute to traffic congestion in this area. This situation could be expected to be compounded with the construction of a larger grocery store on the site subject to rezoning. These traffic-related concerns should be addressed as a condition of the proposed rezoning. There is an opportunity for the City to work with the applicant and other property owners in the vicinity to improve the general street layout and traffic flow in the subject area. This would require the reconfiguration and possible vacation of portions of Waterfront Drive. As part of this undertaking portions of Waterfront Drive could be utilized by private property owners; existing curb cuts on to Gilbert Street could be reconfigured and improved parking lots with internal access between properties could be achieved; the curve on Waterfront Drive could be eliminated and a primary access to the proposed Hy-Vee site via Stevens Drive could be achieved. Staff has been working with the applicant and persons who own property adjacent to Waterfront Drive regarding the proposed improvements in this area.

',' , -. ,.. . . .... ,',' ';:/', , " ,'- ..,'.', .', ~.. r' ",' 3 In conjunction with the construction of the trunk line connecting the north and south wastewater treatment plants, the City will be rebuilding Waterfront Drive. The realignment of Stevens Drive and Waterfront Drive can be done in conjunction with that project. The improvements east of Waterfront Drive would be the responsibility of the applicant. The applicant would also be required to purchase the vacated portion of Waterfront Drive east of the railroad tracks. The applicant has indicated the desire to have a traffic signal at the intersection of Gilbert Street and Stevens Drive. The Traffic Engineer has examined the intersection and determined that at this time a traffic signal is not warranted. It also may not be warranted if the proposed Hy-Vee development is built. The Traffic Engineer has indicated that he will study the requirement for traffic lights on Gilbert Street at both the Stevens Drive and Southgate Avenue intersections after the proposed Hy-Vee and Southgate Avenue are constructed. The Southgate Avenue improvements are in the fiscal year 1997 capital improvements program. It may be appropriate for the City Council to consider advancing this project in the capital improvements program so that it occurs simultaneously with the sanitary sewer improvements that are programmed for this area. This decision will require the Council to weigh the other priorities in the capital improvements program. Site Design: Given the size of the proposed project in this area, staff proposes that site plan review conditions similar to those placed on other large developments, such as Eagle Foods, Menards and Westport Plaza, be placed upon this proposed rezoning. This condition would require that the Director of Planning and Community Development approve a concept plan and a landscaping plan. CD Sanitary Sewer: The Public Works Department is currently planning the reconstruction of sanitary sewer in this area. These improvements will assure that sufficient sanitary sewer capacity is available for this and surrounding developments. An existing sanitary sewer line and easement are located in the area proposed for the Hy-Vee Food Store. This line will need to be relocated at the applicant's expense if the new store is to be built in the location shown on the concept plan. SUMMARY: 1,1 The proposed rezoning of the subject property to allow the construction of a retail grocery store appears to be compatible with the zoning and development pattern in the general area. The proposed rezoning and development will, however result in an increase in traffic in an area that currently has traffic congestion and poor circulation. It may be possible to reconfigure Waterfront Drive to minimize this concern. This will require the coordinated efforts of adjacent property owners and the City. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning of the subject property from CI-l to CC-2 subject to a conditional zoning agreement that addresses the entrance to the property via Waterfront Drive; requires concept plan approval by the Director of Planning and Community Develop- ment; and requires the property owner to relocate the sanitary sewer line and easement currently located on the property.

Diane Boyd Tract At the Planning and Zoning Commission's August 4, 1994, staff supported the annexation of the .96 acre tract of land located east of Scott Boulevard at the north terminus of Scott Park Drive, jf the 22.3 foot by 111 foot parcel of land connecting the .96 acre tract and the Iowa City city limits was included in the annexation, As indicated on the attached site plan, the applicant has amended the annexation request to include the 22.3 foot by 111 foot parcel. The total requested annexation area is now 1.02 acres. Following a request by Larry Schnittjer, MMS, at the Commission's August 4, 1994, meeting, staff explored the possibility of allowing the applicant to escrow funds for the required public improvements. Because a standard subdivision will not occur with the subject tract, and it's anticipated there will be a change in ownership of the property under consideration, staff determined there was not sufficient leverage through the escrow process to ensure that the street, sidewalk and water line would be constructed as needed by the responsible parties. According to Mr. Schnittjer, the applicant has agreed that the public improvements should be constructed in the near future, rather than escrowing for later construction. Thus, the conditions attached to the rezoning approval should remain the sam,e as previously recommended in the staff report dated August 4, 1994. ' , , STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that ANN94.0006, the proposed annexation of the 1.02 acre tract located at the north terminus of Scott Park Drive be approved. Staff recommends that REZ94.0011 , the proposed rezoning of the annexation area from County RS to RS-5 be approved, subject to 1) the developer agreeing to pay all of the costs associated with providing infrastructure for development of the subject tract, including, but not limited to the extension of Scott Park Drive, and the six inch water line to the north boundary of the subject tract, and the connection of the sanitary sewer line to the south, 2) approval of the construction plans for these improvements by the City Public Works Department, 3) construction of these improvements consistent with specifications for Scott Boulevard East, Part Two, and acceptance of the Improvements by the City, and 4) a plat of survey being executed and recorded upon conveyance of the subject 1.02 acre tract, or a portion thereof, to new ownership. , I"~ ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Public services: Sanitation service as well as police and fire protection will be provided by the City. Transportation: Access to the property will be via Scott Park Drive. Transit: The closest available transit route is Court Hill with a bus stop at Friendship and Court streets, approximately four blocks from the Boyd property. There are no plans to extend this route in the near future. Physical characteristics: This area has a gently rolling topogra- phy. The Sensitive Areas Inventory Map - Phase I indicates the existence of woodlands on the eastern portion of the property. This woodland area is comprised primarily of mature oak trees. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Diane Boyd, on behalf of property owner Plum Grove Acres, Inc. is requesting the annexation and rezoning of .96 acres located at the north terminus of Scott Park Drive. The property is currently zoned County RS, Suburban Residential. The applicant requests a rezoning of the property to RS-5, Low Density Single-Family Residential. At the present time, the applicant is constructing a residence on a 15.46 acre Auditor's Parcel A under a County building permit issued on May 26, 1994. Boyd desires that the .96 acre parcel be split off Auditor's Parcel A, and incorporated into Iowa City to obtain city services for the residence currently under construction. ANALYSIS: Annexation. The Comprehensive Plan states that petitions for voluntary annexation should be viewed positively when city ordinances governing zoning and development are adequate to deal with any unusual conditions that exist in the area proposed for annexation and when 1) the area under consideration falls within the future service area of the city and sanitary sewer capacity is presently available, 2) development in the area will fulfill an identified need without imposing an undue financial burden on the City, or 3) control of development at entryways to the community is in the City's best interest. The Comprehensive Plan also :( :\3 t~ o - ..,' ""'~'I),', H;:,'.'.:, "0" ,", , ,,', ' ",:.:"',,:,, "",', ;'" '.. ,';'.-\ , ," "" ,',,",; '\ ".. .

"',1 , . :__.;.:;..'J,:..,:':' ~,.. 3 indicates that the developers of areas newly annexed into the city will be responsible for all infrastructure costs including those normally subsidized by the City, such as collector streets and oversized utility lines. The area proposed for annexation falls within the future service area of the city. Because the property is adjacent to an existing city subdivision, its incorporation into the city would be considered compact and contiguous development. Utilities can readily be extended from the approved subdivision to the south, Scott Boulevard East, Part Two. Under the City's annexation policy, the applicant, Diane Boyd, understands that she will be responsible for all costs of extending the 28 foot wide street, Scott Park Drive, as well as the four foot wide sidewalk and the six inch water line to the north boundary of the request property. The sanitary sewer service for the residence will need to be connected to the sanitary sewer line to the south. No storm sewer extension or connection will be required for this parcel. The required improvements should be specified as part of the conditional zoning agreement for this tract. From a planning perspective, staff would prefer annexation of the entire 15.46 acre tract, rather than annexation of one .96 acre lot. However, the annexation, as proposed, does not preclude alternative designs for the extension of streets, sidewalks and other public utilities in the larger tract, Auditor's Parcel A, in the future. To avoid having a remnant of County land between the Boyd lot and the corporate boundary, staff recommends that the annexation include the 22.3 foot wide strip of land along the 111 foot length of the west boundary of the .95 acre tract. Rezoninq. The requested rezoning of RS-5, Low Density Single-Family Residential, is consistent with the Fringe Area 5 policy for low density residential zoning, the Comprehensive Plan growth policy designation and the RS-5 zoning of the residential subdivision immediately to the south. There are no public utility constraints concerning this property. The requested rezoning appears to be appropriate for the tract of land under consideration, The conditional zoning agreement should include specifics on the extension of the street, sidewalk and water line to the north boundary of the requested annexation area. It should also address the sanitary sewer line connection. Upon conveyance of the .96 acre tract from Plum Grove Acres to Diane Boyd, a plat of survey will need to be executed and recorded. The plat of survey should be cited as a condition of the rezoning. Sensitive Areas. The Sensitive Areas Inventory Map - Phase I indicates that a woodland area exists on the eastern portion of the site. This woodland area is comprised primarily of mature oak trees. It appears that the residential construction underway on this property was designed so as to preserve a majority of the existing large oak trees located outside of the footprint of the house. However, the root system of the large oak tree to the west of the house may have been damaged by the storage of construction materials and the parking and driving of construction vehicles within the dripline. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the proposed annexation of the .96 acre tract located north of Scott Park Drive be approved, subject to including the 22.3 foot by 111 foot parcel of land connecting the .96 acre tract and the Iowa City city limits in the annexation area.

To: City Council Charles Denney ~sociate Planner ,': From: Re: Zoning Ordinance amendment defining funeral home "'--. Staff research indicates that crematoriums are allowed as an accessory use to a funeral home by most zoning codes where crematoriums are specifically addressed. This is consistent with the recommendations of the "Zoning Report" discussed in my memorandum to the Planning and Zoning Commission, dated August 26, 1994, regarding this issue. Information from the Cremation Association of North America indicates tllat approximately 40% of all crematoriums in the United States are located within funeral homes, many of which are located within or near residential areas. I- As was also mentioned in my August 24 memorandum, crematoriums are regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Crematoriums are considered a Class 4 incinerator, which is the least polluting class of incinerator. The pollutants regulated in a class 4 incinerator are particulate matter, opacity (visible emissions) and carbon monoxide. Studies of crematoriums reviewed by staff show that emissions from crematoriums are well below the standards of the DNR for these pollutants. Copies of these reports are available if you are interested. n, .. 'm, ,I ',\,'\,'~!~ C-",\ l,. ,". '4"_ ".., ,... '\ ,!, ',' ft. 0 '<:....:' '..::,'" "~".'<_."""

Gay Funeral Home and Michael Lensing of Lensing Funeral Services requested that the Zoning Ordinance be amended to permit crematories within funeral homes. The Ordinance permits funeral homes by special exception in the RM-12, RIO, CO-1 and CC-2 zones and as a provisional use in the CI-1 zone. In all cases funeral homes are subject to the following conditions; location on an arterial street, a minimum street frontage of 120 feet and minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet. Crematories are not currently addressed in the Ordinance. ANALYSIS I was unable to find much recent literature discussing how other jurisdictions deal with cremato- ries generally, or specifically within funeral homes. The Standard Industrial Classification Manual contains a Funeral Service and Crematories Classification which is defined as "establishments engaged in preparing the dead for burial, conducting funerals, and cremating the dead". The November 26, 1984 issue of the "Zoning Report" deals with zoning for funeral homes and cemeteries. The Report indicates that crematories should be considered as accessory uses to funeral homes in commercial zones. The Zoning Ordinance does not contain a definition of funeral home. Staff recommel)ds that one be added which states that crematories are an accessory use to a funeral home. The Report also recommends that due to their commercial nature, funeral homes not be allowed in residential zones, and that transition zones between commercial and residential zones are most appropriate for funeral homes. The three existing funeral homes in Iowa City are all located in CO-1 zones which is consistent with this recommendation. A permit from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is required for the installation of a crematory. Crematories are regulated as incinerators, and the same regulations apply whether human or animal remains are being cremated. Staff research indicates that the technology of crematories has improved so that they produce very little emissions, either smoke or odor. Crematories can be operated in or near residential areas without the residents being aware of the operation. ,~ ,T ,o);,}'"'' " r I,!, * ' . ~ " 'I' ", ' 0" \: > ',""", ~\~:'::~:,\:'~'~:,', ", ~,:: " ,', ,:;':,~ ',.~" ".'

Gay Funeral Home requested that the Iowa City Zoning Ordinance be amended to permit crematories in the community. The Zoning Ordinance permits funeral homes, by either a special exception or as a provisional use, in the RM.12, RIO, CO-1, CC-2 and CI-1 zones. Crematories, however, are not addressed in the ordinance. In response to Ms. Hartwig, the Commission placed consideration of an ordinance to permit crematories on its pending list almost four years ago. This item is presently on the Commission's work program for FY95. : In the accompanying letter dated April 25, 1994, Michael Lensing, of Lensing Funeral Service requests that the Commission consider this proposal as soon as possible. At its May 2, 1994, inforrl)al meeting, the Commission is requested to determine the month it wishes the staff to have an ordinance amendment and recommendation before the Commission for its review. , " " " I,' .,~ (;' \ If you have any questions prior to your May 2, 1994, meeting, please do not hesitate to call me at 356-5243. tp3,1 " ,I,.!; ~ I' I ! i' I , I 1:' r'!

WEEBER.HARLOCKE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION 1101 Weeber Circle Iowa City, Iowa 52246 September 26, 1994 Members of the City Council City ofIowa City Civic Center 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Harlocke Area Rezoning Negotiations Dear Council Members: I am writing this letter in response to the recent resignation of Mr. Ruppert's lawyer, Mr, Houghton, from the Harlocke area rezoning negotiations. I feel compelled to share with you my perceptions of the one meeting that took place between Mr, Houghton, Mr. Jansen, and myself since Mr. Houghton's letter of resignation to Karin Franklin did not include any explanation of what transpired at that meeting. I am also writing because I believe there are assumptions made by Council about the willingness of all parties to negotiation which need to be reexamined. The meeting took place on September 14 at the Barker, Cruise, Kennedy & Houghton law firm. Initial discussion centered around the compromise that had been proposed by the neighborhood to Council on July 15. Mr. Houghton and Mr. Jansen were asked to express their clients' response to that proposal. Using a map prepared by MMS Consultants, Mr. Houghton stated that Mr. Ruppert's property actually contains only 8.71 acres for development because DOT has taken roughly 3 acres for Highway 1 right-of-way. He stated it was the Ruppert family's position that they are opposed to RS.5 zoning of that portion of the property west of the ravine. Instead, they want to see a minimum of 36 units in cluster development at the end of Harlocke Street in a proposed RS.8 zone and the property east of the ravine zoned either commercial or remain RM-44. Mr. Houghton also stated that the Ruppert family felt that overall the zoning should be at a higher density than RS.8. I proceeded to ask Mr. Houghton why the Ruppert family wants to cluster the development at the end of Harlocke Street when Mr. Ruppert has stated in public hearings that he is not interested in Harlocke Street access and does not plan on using it. Mr. Houghton' stated in response there are some questions that need to be resolved with DOT regarding Highway 1 access. He indicated such access might not be forthcoming unless the City initiated discussions with DOT regarding what type of development would take place and how resulting traffic issues would be resolved. Mr. Houghton then stated that he could not understand the neighborhood's opposition to RS. 8 cluster development because one could have cluster development with almost as many ~~Ii - t..,...., ._:___ " ')",,',.'..,';':,:,..,' o ",i:' "..' ,'/' T" , /5 - ~ -- , i I .i ,I '. ,10, ,,' ,\.,,',1" " " ,\ , ~~:' ..- li C-'\ \1 \ ~ It\ " [I : I I , I , I ; ~, , f' i I' .~ ii"~':' ~~~ 1 \" 1 ~..... )",1.",', ~~~ 'J~I ' I .,.l ([-"O , ;-' '~ "' .

After receiving words of encouragement from Karen, the conference call was terminated, and Mr, Houghton raised the following question: "Why are we trying to resolve this issue now?" Mr. Houghton expressed the view that he thought Franklin would delay the rezoning indefinitely if the neighbors in good faith would accept the owners' assurances that the best possible solution for the neighborhood would be worked out. He then proceed to make a statement about how the neighborhood should wait and see what plans the Ruppert family have for the whole area. This was almost too much for me to take without regurgitating, so I shifted my attention to Mr. Jansen. Mr. Jansen stated that he was not able to accept the neighborhood compromise proposal on behalf of his clients because (1) there was insufficient area on the east side of the ravine that could be developed at a higher density and (2) street access to the east side of the property from Benton Manor owners or Mr. Ruppert would be difficult to obtain. He stated that development of the Jensen tract would likely occur only along Harlocke Street. He then proceeded to give a brief history of the Jensen tract and the rationale for why he wanted to get the best economical solution for his clients. I responded by placing several other options on the table. I asked Mr. Jansen for a price on the Jensen tract. He stated the asking price would be $40,000 per acre or $160,000 for the entire tract. I then asked Mr. Houghton how much Mr. Ruppert would ask for that part of his parcel west of the ravine. He responded by saying he was not sure that Mr. Ruppert has a dollar amount in mind, but rather that Mr. Ruppert was trying to find a buyer would buy all his property on the north side of Highway 1. I explained that if we had a dollar amount either (1) someone in the neighborhood might buy it, (2) the neighborhood might be able to work some agreement out with the City for using part of the property as a park or (3) perhaps a developer for that parcel and the Jensen tract could be found by the neighborhood. Mr. Jansen stated that as long as he gets a fair price for his clients, he would not care how it was developed. Mr. Houghton expressed doubts about either of these proposals as a viable solution because he felt the Ruppert family has some great plans for the entire area which once the Council saw those plans they would definitely support any zoning changes that were needed to accommodate those plans. Both Mr. Jansen and Mr. Houghton were quick to point out that a park might actually generate more traffic on Harlocke. At this juncture the substance of the meeting quickly degenerated and the meeting came to a screeching halt. A further request for deferral was discussed, and at this point Mr. Houghton indicated he might not be the Ruppert family's representative at future discussions. He stated that Mr. Ruppert's daughter had legal representatives from outside the state who might be retained. 'rhe meeting adjourned with all parties agreeing that they would be willing to meet again. In summary, there are several points about this meeting that I wish to call to your attention: (1) the neighborhood was the only party to put any compromises on the table; (2) Mr. Houghton and Mr. Jansen seemed more intent on saying what they would not accept rather than what they would accept; (3) Mr. Houghton thinks the Council should adopt a "wait and see" attitude because he is confident the Ruppert family can put together a plan that will .2. _: 1,)"'-':-"':" 0' ',' :::< ' ",' (>:~I".., , " ~.."

The neighborhood is the only one willing to put compromises on the table and work toward a fair and equitable solution for all parties involved. :,' " , , , t.-A~~ William E.

I (and many others) am concerned about the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS of property owners and the DISCRIHINATORY ASPECTS of this action. An investigation was initiated. . . I reviewed the state zoning laws. I discussed this with several other City Attorneys, to obtain an unbiased understanding of the perspective of the City and with those versed in zoning law. I looked over City files, County land records and physically measured one parcel. I spoke with HHS ConsuJtants, Inc" the D.O,T. and residents of the area. I would like to make 4 points. 1. The staff report is not cOlplote & accurate. The CITY HAP HISLEADS HARLOCKE, COUNCIL & ZONING on this proposal, 2. Council should not initiate a change lobbied for by residents over 200' away disregarding those in immediato area. 3. 8 plexes are here now and are surrounded by multi-units. The RH 44 zoning reflects that. 4, Council should not SPOT ZONE to benefit a special interest. Since 1965 the Rupperts have anticipated the development of this land and studied the concerns expressed here. They are more knowledgeable than anyone else about their land. Both Jensen & Ruppert Tract owners agree lOOt with Harlocke and Weeber Circle residents on the traffic and topography issues. Traffic should not burden the area, The primary Ruppert access should be to Hwy il. It's important any street or streets planned be carefully situated to BENEFIT the whole area, not a selected portion or parcel! Oetermining street placement now may substantially reduce the area's potential. Each Tract requires adequate access to reach its highest and best use, thereby enhancing and complimenting the whole area. It is faulty to assume only Harlocke would provide this access. When the Ruppert tract is developed and access to Highway il is complete, a 2nd access to the north is guaranteed by a June 22, 1982 access easement adopted by the Council and recorded by the Johnson County Recorder. That's 4 future accesses to the Ruppert Tract, Since any potential development plan requires Council approval, no zoning change is nacessary to address traffic concerns. Topography was studied in early 1983 and a map was drawn. The bluff is not natural. This area of major topographical concern, nearly the size of the Jensen Tract, was created and is owned and controlled by the D.O.T. It WILL NOT BE OEVELOPEO! No zoning change is necessary to protect the bluff. Planning and Zoning should understand this but perhaps Council and Harlocke do not. Two owners are Engineers, by education and employment qualified to assess this land. Studies verify their work. Three others have had life time construction careers, have been involved with most of the major Iowa City buildings and are qualified to judge building feasibility. These owners are people of good character, They enjoy working openly and honestly with their neighbors and believe all parties interests can be accommodated. r .".\ -'i r , , \ \ ,~ y..~..-~ , i' ] Like the conductor of an orchestra, the Council lust have a good ear to identify and bring together the best players of each instrument so the music sounds as if it is coming from a single entity. Your goal is to figure out how to make the audience willing to line up & pay to hear your music. In 4 important areas your musicians are out of tune and more effective listening is necessary. ~I FIRST: No Council Helber has mentioned that the Ruppert Family map and the City Zoning lap are clearly different. The City map and this proposal incorrectly identify 11.5 acres north of Highway 1 as Ruppert Tract. While norlal residential property joins the street, the state comlonly owns sections of property adjacent to highways. In this case a 3 acre strip next to Hwy. 11 is OWNED by the D.D.T. and WILL NOT BE DEVELOPED! HHS has prepared a map accurately refiecting the Ruppert tract as 8.71 acres. The goal of good zoning is to assign to each property the most appropriate use. Look again at the map. Notice the east end of the tract is only 210' wide. Consider these average City lot Estimates from Robert Hiklo, Assoc. Planner. , i I , I r: City Street Width 30' t Front yard set back from curb 3D' t Depth for a house 24' t Back yard 40' : 124' Avg. hOle length 26' t Double garage 22' t 2 Side yards Q IS' each: 78' : ~' i : ~ I I' ( l,.J, '7); II ! Normal City lots require a minimum of 124' for I house & street, 218' for 2 houses separated by a street and 156' for 2 houses side by side. In view of the space available considering views of Wal-Hart & apartments and the potential health effects of highway sound magnified by the bluff (sound which will increase as traffic volume increases) it is incredible that anyone would consider this a desirable location for single family hODes, even if an inviting configuration could be found. The lots on the southern portion of Weeber have been tough sales. Developers (Tom Redmond, pres. Redmond Const.i Hace Braverman, Pres, Southgate Dev.) and realtors (Dave Cahill, Cahill Realty & Tom Lepic, Lepic Kroeger Realtors) agree single family hOles are a poor choice for this area. An overloo~ed consideration is that larger buildings will break the sound from the bluff thereby protecting the homes above thel. (olmercial is a better choice. \:,!~~'~ Vtr~ , ..' The more detailed Staff report of July 13, 1984 by Bruce Knight states on page 1 paragraph 4, this is a 'overly drastic reduction in density and the slto is NOT suited for conventional single family development' and at page 3 item I 'The property ~le :c",",,"'"'" f'" t, /5 ' (' ."':Y.1l'Ot.Ji.:-""'~1.;&Jr;IIUIa.==:'V- ~, , 0 i. ~..,-,-,---- -- ,--- --.. - .- o ",.'.j."...,"'.',.'."",. ~. . , ,I I I I ~ ~d ~ r [1 l, " .. .

Complete restriction of development is not an option.' and at page 5 item 3 is an analysis of the ilpact of increased traffic volume. The Southwest area study, Feb. 6, 1962, states, 'residential development is discouraged in this general area due to its location near the airport and proximity to Highway I.' Why do we do these expensive studies if we are not going to pay attention to the results. Point 'I: The staff report and map are not complete or accurate, When correct facts are reviewed the right decision is RH44. SECONO: All property owners frol Killer Avenue to Harlocke cooperate and engage in talks from tile to time. They are interdependent and have working agreements with each other. Council has failed to consider the wishes of, refused to recognize or respect relationships existing along, and designed this proposal to minimize or eliminate the input from, this HAJORITY OF PROPERTY OWNERS within 200' of the whole Ruppert Tract. Signed statements indicating their preferances have been provided. The Attorney General's office states the IOWA ZONING CODE provides that opinions of property owners within 200' of a proposed zoning are of prilary concern in any decision to rezone. Owners of properties bordering the Ruppert Tract (representing 360 t citizensl are in FAVOR of and feel benefited by the current RH 44 ZONING. Host would prefer commercial zoning. When you paint your home should your neighbor select the color? If each neighbor bordering your property wishes a different color, will your home be many colors? Should you be required to paint your home to please neighbors a block away? Point '2: Council shouldn't initiate a change proposed by residents over 200' away and disregard those in the immediate area. Neighbors Knabe and Russell are certainly equal but disagree on this zoning. Hake no change. Let the market decide, THIRD: A natural border is in place between the Ruppert property and Weeber Circle. Several 6 plexes already exist at the top of that border, Below the 6 plexes, the woods protect Weeber Circle residents from the Highway sound and prohibit any view of the Ruppert property, Development here will have little or no impact on these neighbors. Zoning here was RH 44 when Hr. Knabe and Hr. Hashburn purchased their hOles. They suffer no injury by continuing RH 44. Neighbor Hr. Russell views the RH 44 as ~ beneficial. If RS 5-6 was appropriate for the West side of Harlocke St. that zoning should have been designated prior to the construction of the five 6-plex units. Point '3: Now 6 plex units eurrounded by multi-units are the HAJORITY IN THIS AREA. RH 44 zoning should and does reflect that. LASTLY: Legitimate neighborhood associations have Charters and By Laws. They hold annual leetings to elect officers and conduct business. If this issue was of such concern, it is strange that Jensen and Ruppert were not invited to speak at meetings so informed decisions could be lade. Helbership directories, lists of current and past officers, meeting minutes, records of the votes, and copies of all correspondance are important and should have been provided to the Council, and to all parties involved, This appears to be the action of a few residents influenced by emotions rather than intellect or those pursuing private interests, not an action brought by an Association whose Hembers would share equally the City Rezoning request fees. Benton Hanor, a chartered Association representing 172 homes with borders on both these properties, supports the RH 44. Point '4: Council should not SPOT ZONE to benefit a special interest or 'political Action Committee' . IN CONCLUSION: A great many misunderstandings regarding these properties lay have lead to this action. Credibility is the foundation of leadership and credibility is lacking in these areas. The evidence does not support staff's conclusions. This property was extensively studied prior to adopting the cOlprehensive plan which assigned RH 44 zoning after considering traffic, topography, 'Bluff Effect Sound' and City Zoning Code rules. Access, traffic and topography concerns were all dealt with again in 1964 and the RN 44 zoning was reaffirmed as the highest and best use of the Ruppert parcel. No changes have occurred. Nearby developlent has been as anticipated by the comprehensive plan. RH 44 remains appropriate today. A central belief of our culture is that Americans have personai and property rights which are guaranteed by our Constitution. The CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS of property ownors and the DISCRIHINATORY ASPECTS of the proposed spot zoning are of major concern. I hope ALL IOUA CITY Citizens are equal. (Russell: Knabe, Benton Hanor : Harlocke) Spot zoning seems to say SOHE CITIZENS more equal than others. These hearings have shown there are 4 accesses and the D.O.T. controls the bluff, an area nearly equal to the Jensen Tract which will remain green space, so no zoning change is needed to address traffic or topography. Because I believe the staff report wes not complete & accurete and the City HAP has HISLEAD Harlocke, Council & Zoning. Because I believe Council should not initiate a change requested by those over 200' away ignoring those in the Immediate area. Because I see 6 pleles here now, surrounded by lulti-units and the RH 44 zoning reflects that. And because I believe Council should not SPOT ZONE to benefit a special interest. I urge you to leave the RH 44 zoning. I 'w,,'d 1ft. t~, JuI, t3, "', t3 P.'

The property in question must be allowed to develop in a rear;omib1e' . manner, Complete restriction of development., is not an option.' ".. Therefore, each alternative must be viewed according'to the impact if, creates, not in comparison to the present undeveloped land. 2. Only one access point is available to the north (i.e, Weeber Street):, This fact can only be changed t.hrouoh condemnation and only the City rnunr.j1 rAn, authorize ~uch Or9~~~o'nl1.s, Staft ;~'therefore working under tht: as'SumptlOn that given the existing site constraints. no, other northerly point of access is possible, 3, Secondary access must be provided for both the existing and proposed ' single family development and the multi-family development '" ' 4. Much of the existing multi-family development has a density in excess of one unit per 1800 square feet of lot area'and would, therefore, 'be nonconforming if rezoned to anything less dense than'the current RM-44 zoning, with the exception of RNC-20, The existing development would. not be made nonconforming under RNC-20 because all development which existed prior to the date .of the rezoning would be treated as conforming at its existing densitv 5, The undeveloped area is most conducive to a residential land use of some type. 6. The layout of the street system must take into consideration the type of development which can ultimately be expected to occur. In an area zoned RS-5, Low Density Single-Family Residential, the zoning ordi- nance requires a minimum lot area of 8.000 square feet, a minimum lot width of 60 feet and minimum lot frontage of 35 feet on a public " street, Therefore, the street system must be designed to allow subdivision of lots which meet these minimum dimensions and have " frontage on a public street, For land zoned multi-family residential. the minimum lot area required ranges from 5,000 square feet in the RM-20 and RM-44 zones, to 8.175 square feet (for multi-family uses)' in' the RM-12 zone. However, because a multiple number of dwe11ing'units" may be placed on one lot, it is more feasible to develop on larger lot sizes, As a result, a less intricate street system is necessary for mu1 t i-family development since 1 ess frontage on a public street is required when large lots are used, DEFINITION OF VARIABLES From the areas of concern raised during previous' discussions on this" subject, five variables were identified which will be impacted differently by the different zoning classifications proposed in the attacheda1terna- tives, The variables can be divided into two broad categories: those that affect the feasibil ity of development (primarily physical) and those that deal with the impact of development on the existing residential area and the City as a whole.

As expected we had some carryover and additional program income, much of it from the Housing Rehabilita- tion Program. The rest of the carryover is mainly from $40,000 budgeted for flood relief before we got the supplemental allocation, $30,000 for land acquisition for affordable housing (the North Dodge Street Court project fell through), and $73,000 from contingency. There is an additional $322,438 to be budgeted for the 1994 CDBG program year. The Housing Rehabilitation Program's share of this is $159,159, while $6,925 was obligated for Administrative expenses. This leaves $156,354 for allocation. In a previous budget amendment, $17,300 of contingency funds were used to fund the Hillcrest Family Services Transitional Housing Program; we are recommending that this amount be replaced into contingency. After these funds are subtracted, there is $139,054 left to' be budgeted. As you are aware, the T owncrest Relocation Program received $150,000 from EAGLE. In order to relocate more than 50 households in Towncrest, additional funds for relocation are needed. Originally, HOME funds were budgeted to assist us with this relocation; however, due to federal regulation changes for the HOME program, this source of funds cannot be used for relocation assistance. We are therefore recommending that the remaining $139,054 in COBG . monies be allocated to the Towncrest Relocation Program for relocation assistance.

Box64 IOWA CITY, IOWA 52244 (319) 354-0863 ~d q/~1hlf TO: Iowa City Council Members FROM: Downtown Association of Iowa City John Murphy - President RE: Proposed Parking Ramp Increase DATE: September 27, 1994 The Board of Directors of the Downtown Association of Iowa City and many of. our members have several concerns regarding the proposed rate increases in the Dubuque Street Parking Ramp and permit parking fees. We disagree with any increases and our reasons include: . r' 1) The Iowa City Council formed the Downtown Transportation Committee to. study the Iowa City parking and transit situation. Committee members representing the business community are concerned about the elasticity of parking fees. There is concern that any increase will have a direct negative effect on retail sales.' Before any fees are increased they request the City explore economies in fixed ~oute and'SEATS service, and begin a marketing program to increase ramp usage by 10%. The committee as a whole agreed that the public image of parking in central business district could be greatly improved with several minor . improvel(lents. The general consensus w.a,Uha t all al terna ti ves b~ explored before there is any increase in hourly fees. 2) SEATS, transit, and parking have been pooled together, but we still feel that SEATS and transit should be funded by city-wide taxes (ex. property taxes), and not by downtown parkers. Parking rates do not need to be increased. There is a need to look at SEATS and transit expenditures and also to promote more usage and therefore profit from the downtown ramps. ., . no. ~ ':i .! e 3) We need to be realistic about the increased challenges Iowa City faces from cOMpetition. Our parking rates are alr~ady about the highe'st in the state and lie need to keep them reasonable for our customers. 4) The community response regarding this issue is overwhelmingly against any increase.' Remember the Press Citizen letters , to the editor, June 14, 1994? 5) We urge you to vote ~ on any increases to the hourly rate or long term permit holders. i. , ~ I, ~hank you for your consideration. i.m, ~ ., ~3~1 .(.--.... ;'. ___0___ 1.
