To: Iowa City Council & Manager
THOUGHTS AFTER WATCHING COUNCIL MEETING
The discussion of water rate increases and related issues is very disturbing.
This sounds like such a serious problem that I don't understand why you are spending
time on other issues. Why not put a freeze on all other city expenditures and projects
until this one is resolved? Why talk about money for transit, for "south of Burlington",
for salaray increases, more policemen, etc, etc.
Water is so important, why isn't it being prioitized as the most important issue in Iowa
City. Why aren't we looking at cutting back on other services in order to afford water?
Fewer housing inspection, more infrequent garbage pick-up. No new enrichment
benefits. perhaps cut back on a lot of them. Who can enjoy recreational services if
they don't have safe water?
What are the basic essential city services that we need to buy with our basic taxes.
They should be paid for first.
I know you love us all so much you want us to have the best of everything, no matter
what the cost, and no matter how much SUffering or nUdging people out of the city.

To Jim Throgmorton:
What do you want. mob rule? It seemed to be that 9 speakers covered a lot of
important points and each represented many people. We tried to elect council
persons who are clear thinking, concerned and well intentioned. Ruling by crowds
and noise does not seem to be desireable. It sounds as though you think our opinions
are valuable only if we clutch at your coattails and overwhelming your pUblic meetings.
To Naomi Novick:
Please stop saying there is nothing you can do. You can talk, stamp your feet, telfus
who we need to talk to, You can advocate for cooperation and area and ~te. ~ ii1
meetings. If state and federal regulations are unfair ~n't st~nd stil and b~t!ft~. f:

arrangements. One of the most obvious ways is to join with others in shared housing
or shared services. Yet in the past the City has put all kinds of barriers in the way of
independence and creative planning by rules such as limiting the number of
unrelated persons who can live in one household, parking regulations, etc. These
are proproperty, anti people kind of rules.
To City Council. 11-22-94
I have several friends that live in the collection of housing developments north of
Rochester. Everytime I turn onto first Ave, and see the sign NO OUTLET I get a
clutch of panic. One accident on that steep hillside . a big fire, an explosion, a
jackknifed semi or other truck accident could create havoc. AT a minimum it seems
there should be somekind of emer~ency exit out First Ave or the end of Hickory Trail.
How can such a situation developt,: Where were safety and common sense heads
when those developments were approved. And now a new big apartment complexllll
After Council Meeting 11-22-94:
Why not get all the mayors in the region (all Iowa, or Eastern IA & Western ILL) affected
by the water plant regs, ( and also, include those in the next level of cities coming up).
Invite the Governors, State Legislatures, Federal officials to meet with you.
1. How to get more reasonable federal regulations?
2. What State and Federal Legislation is needed to intercept contamination at its
source? (agricultural, industrial, urban, sewer, septic tanks, etc.)
3. We tried, and thay aren't interested, isn't a good enough answer Mr. Manager.
Try, try, again. If the problem is mutual, perhaps they have a better idea as to how to
meet it. Keep fighting, and keep advocating for strength in numbers.
Karen. Civil Disobedience is not to be ruled out as a last resort .. but be very very
sure that Everything else has been tried. Other plans, other places, cooperative
agreements, political pressure, whatever.

Dear Mayor Horowitz:
As a Board member of the Free Medical Clinic, I am writing to urge you to
support the Clinic's request for funds from lhe City of Iowa Cily.
Over the past few years, we have seen the need for our services growing,
with little or no increase (and in some years, cutbacks) in our funding from
Johnson County and United Way. We have seen a comfortable carryover
balance dwindle this year until we have an operating deficit of $7,000.
In the '94 fiscal year, the Clinic delivered 3979 clinic visits and provided
HIY testing services to more than 1000 people. We do everything we can
to provide services cost-effectively. A clinic visit costs less than $35. We
have fine support from community volunteers, including complete clinics
operated by volunteers from Mercy Hospital.
(
,-
...'.....,
\
We serve primarily the working poor--people who work for low wages
without health care benefits. Although we seek to obtain other medical
care for as many patients as possible, most would have no access to other
care.
\
.>.0
fJ
I ,
I
We believe our mission is important for the public health of our
community. We are asking you to visit a clinic before you make your
decision about our funding. Our United Way joint hearing is December 8.
Please feel free to call me at 351-8581 or Sandy Pickup at the Clinic,
337.4459 if you have any questions about our budget or the Clinic.

Re: The opening of Virginia Drive from oaklawn Street
West to Shimek School Grounds
Dear Co unci I ors:
On April 28th of this year, I wrote to the City Manager and
asked that Virginia Drive be opened and made passable
for vehicular traffic.
On June 29th, I received a three line message from the Planning
Department stating that they were "tracking down the documentation
concerning the City's obligation to improve this street".
This is the "politically correct" language to state that the city
has not found any way to refuse this request ...but they will
continue to look until they do find a way!
It is now Dec 7th. ....193 days after the request..and the
research continues.
I purchased this land from Sam Whiting in 1969 so I can't claim
that there is an immediate need for this street opening.
However, certain other events in Iowa City lead me to believe
that this land use has a priority.

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Atkins:
I am the owner of a 3.89 acre tract of land south of
the city street called "Virginia Drive".
This street is the only access to this property.
Since this street was a part of the Whiting Subdivision it
carries an agreement between the City of Iowa.City and the
developer to improve the street. This was not done.
I now approach the City of Iowa City to call upon them to
open up this street and make the improvements and assess these
improvements to the Whiting Subdivision property owners.
As an intermediate solution to vehicular access, I ask the city
to clear the ,trees and get Virginia Drive to a condition
suitable for vehicular access.
A drawing of the acreage and Virginia Drive is attached.
Sincerely..........

Re: Foster Road development project
Dear Frank and Bruce:
As you are probably aware by now, the City Council had extensive discussion of the proposal
to extend Foster Road in response to your development project. Through Larry Schnittjer, it
was understood that you wished to know if the City would pursue completion of Foster Road
as a capital improvement project before you did any more work on a plat of the area.
Essentially the Council said they would not consent to including Foster Road as a current
capital improvement project until they saw a plat of the area that met their concerns regarding
such items as open space, greenways, tree preservation, steep slopes, drainage, and traffic
impacts on the existing neighborhood. Consequently, there appears to be a potential impasse.
Attached is a memorandum sent to the Council summarizing the conclusion of th6 Council
discussion and pointing out the staff's view of your rights in development of the area and
what we feel the City can negotiate through the subdivision review process, given existing
law. This is forwarded for your information. '
We are prepared to work with you to achieve some of the goals of the City Council and
facilitate your development project Please let me know 'at your earliest convenience when
, ,
and how you would like to proceed. '
Bruce, we are in the process of responding to your request regarding Virginia Drive. We are \
tracking down the documentation you refer to concerning the City's obligation to improve this r.:" tV
street. . r \

CITY OF IOWA CITY
Dear Steve and Members of the Board:
The Iowa City City Council has received a request from William Frees to rezone 107 acres
from A 1, Rural, to RS3, Suburban Residential, for property located on the south side of
Dingleberry Road NE approximately .6 miles east of its intersection with Highway 1. A
portion of the property is located within the Iowa City/Johnson County Fringe Area 4. The
Council appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed rezoning.
The amended Fringe Area policy for Area 4 states that a limited amount of residential
development will be permitted east of Highway 1, if it meets 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.
3. Conflicts between residential development and existing farm uses should be minimized.
4. The development should allow for the protection of natural areas, such as steep
slopes, wetlands and forested areas.
At its November 17, 1994, meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission by a vote of 6-0
recommended that the City Council forward a comment to the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors stating that CZ9449, an application from William Frees to rezone 107 acres from
A 1 to RS3 is consistent with the standards specified in the mutually agreed upon Fringe Area
policy for Fringe Area 4, subject to the condition that no lots within the rezoning area be
allowed access to Fox Lane until Fox Lane has been improved, or the Fox Lane intersection
with Highway 1 is closed and a safe alternative route to Highway 1 has been provided. The
Iowa City City Council concurs with the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation.
Placing specific conditions on the future use of Fox Lane will assure that the policy standards
for allowing residential development in Fringe Area 4 will be met.

Re:
CZ-9449. Frees Rezoning Request on Dingleberry Road
William Frees has filed an application with Johnson County to rezone 107 acres from A1 Rural
to RS-3, Suburban Residential. The property is located partially in Fringe Area 4 on the south
side of Dingleberry Road NE, approximately ,6 miles east of its intersection with Highway 1, ~
The property also is accessible via Fox Lane, The attached map illustrates the location of the I
property in relation to adjacent roads and the Fringe Area boundary.
Even though a portion of this property is outside of the Iowa City/Johnson County Fringe Area,
it is important that the City review the proposed rezoning and potential development of this
property for potential effects (Le, traffic and street design implications) on the portion of the
property located within the Fringe Area. The amended Fringe Area policy for Area 4 states that
a limited amount of residential development will be permitted east of Highway 1, Agricultural
use is the preferred use on properties which do not meet the following standards:

According to the Fringe Area policy, rezonings from A 1 to RS3 may be appropriate in this area
if the above standards can be achieved. The concept plan submitted by the applicant raises
concerns regarding some of these standards. Specifically, the plan shows a possibility of the
extension of Fox Lane to permit the development of eight lots. During the discussion of the
Furrows Edge development, it was determined that Fox Lane was not suitable for further
development. Concerns were raised about the intersection of Fox Lane with Highway 1 and
the condition of Fox Lane itself, The proposed design shows an awkward intersection with Fox
Lane that would further exacerbate these concerns. Staff concurs with the Johnson County
Engineer's recommendation that no access be permitted on Fox Lane from any new
development on the Frees tract. Dingleberry Road will better serve residential development
and provide a safer intersection to access Highway 1.

The Public Health Department has indicated that a number of lots have severe constraints for
septic systems due to steep slopes, This is particularly the case for Lots 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 23 to
25, and lots 29 through 33. This condition indicates that portions of the property are not
appropriate for residential development. If the rezoning is approved, the subdivision design for
the development should address these concerns. It may be necessary to reduce the number
of units proposed and to cluster development.
The County Zoning Administrator has also indicated that the severity of slopes may create
erosion problems during development of the area. If the rezoning is approved, the County has
indicated that a grading and erosion control plan will be necessary during construction of the
subdivision in this area,
Given the above concerns, the concept plan submitted by the applicant indicates that the
proposed development on this site may be too intense for the environmental conditions of the
property, If this rezoning is to be approved, it should be subject to subdivision design
requirements and density limitations that address these concerns and bring the property into
compliance with the standards of the Fringe Area 4 policy, In absence of such conditions, the
proposed rezoning would not be in compliance with the Fringe Area agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council forward a comment to the Johnson County Board of '11\
I~.'
Supervisors recommending that the request to rezone the subject tract from A1 to RS3 be
approved only if it can be demonstrated that the future development of the property will be
consistent with the standards specified in the mutually agreed upon Fringe Area policy for
Fringe Area 4.

Date: November 17,1994
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Melody Rockwell,~e Planner
Re: CZ9449. Frees Rezoning Request
At its September 15, 1994, meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed an
application submitted by William Frees to Johnson County to rezone 107 acres located south of
Dingleberry Road NE approximately.6 miles east of its intersection with Highway 1 from Al,
Rural, to RS-3, Suburban Residential. The south portion of the property is located in Fringe Area
4. On September 15, 1994, at the request of applicant's representative, the Planning and Zoning
Commission deferred the rezoning request indefinitely, pending receipt of a revised concept plan
for the 107 acre tract of land. Staff's review of the requested rezoning, in association with the
original concept plan, raised issues about the access of nine lots onto Fox Lane, a substandard
County road, and about steep slopes on the site that constrained the use of septic systems.
Q
\
\
Road Access. The revised concept plan removes immediate access to Fox Lane from any of the
proposed lots within the Frees rezoning area, Although a road reservation in the southwest
portion of the site could be used to connect the 33 lots to Fox Lane in the future, access would
be limited in the short-term to Dingleberry Road. The three cui-de-sac street lengths vary from
approximately 1,000 feet to 1,300 feet. Although the urban standard for a maximum cul.de-sac
street length of 900 feet is exceeded, secondary access is not an issue due to the low density
of development that is proposed for the site. It is staff's view that the reservation for the future
street connection to Fox Lane should be exercised only if direct access to Highway 1 via Fox
Lane is closed, and the road reservation through Furrow's Edge is used to provide access to
Highway 1. This would limit the use of the steeply sloped portion of Fox Lane, and would help
preserve capacity on Highway 1 by limiting the number of high usage access points to the
highway.
l
I
~
~
r
,
.
Y'
f
;,
Septic Svstems. The configuration of the lots has not been changed to any extent on the revised
concept plan. The previous staff memorandum noted that 13 of the 33 lots had severe
constraints for septic systems due to steep slopes. The memorandum also noted because Lots
11, 20 and 24 are affected by minor drainageways, care should be taken to prevent septic system
contamination of the waterways. The soils report for the Frees property recommends that on the
east edge of Lots 14 through 19 where clay, bedrock and glacial till are mapped as outcroppings,
the septic systems should be set back 100 feet. Recent field verification by the Johnson County
Health Department revealed that the length of the slopes on the Frees property would
accommodate septic fields, even on the lots where the Soil Conservation Service has
recommended a 100-foot buffer for septic systems.

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.
3. Conflicts between residential development and existing farm uses should be minimized.
4. The development should allow for the protection of natural areas, such as steep slopes,
wetlands and forested areas.
The road issue can be addressed by placing specific conditions on the future use of Fox Lane.
According to the Johnson County Health Department, the topography of the property will
accommodate individual septic systems on the Frees property. Erosion controls are to be
implemented in conjunction with the road construction. Most of the drainageways on the site are
contained within areas designated as common open space. In the future, the preliminary plat will
need to show the location of the stormwater detention facility. In summary, the proposed
rezoning appears to be in compliance with the standards of the Fringe Area 4 policy.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council forward a comment to the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors stating that the request to rezone the subject tract from Alto RS3 is consistent with
the standards specified in the mutually agreed upon Fringe Area policy for Fringe Area 4.

MEMORANDUM

:~'
Date: November 17, 1994
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Charles Denne~sociate Planner
Re: CZ-9454; County Rezoning on Newport Road
~
,
Vincent and Belly Dalton have filed an application with Johnson County to rezone 1.5 acres of
a 3.5 acre tract from County A 1, Rural, to RS, Suburban Residential. The property is located in
Fringe Area 3 on the north side of Newport Road, approximately one half mile east of its intersec-
tion with Prairie du Chien Road. The Fringe Area Policy Agreement states that for Area 3
residential development will be encouraged and will be governed by the provisions of the Corridor
Development Plan adopted November, 1982.
The proposed rezoning is consistent with the goals of the Corridor Development Plan to maintain
the scenic, rural, low-density character of the corridor and to foster orderly growth. The proposed
rezoning is in an area of existing residential development and will be compatible with the sur-
rounding development. The rezoning will result in one additional residential structure and will
therefore have a minimal impact on Iowa City infrastructure and services.
