WHEREAS, property located on Ruppert Road to the north of the Iowa City Municipal Airport, known as Aviation Commerce Park, had been identified as appropriate for retail/community commercial development in the South Central District Plan (resolution 05-185); and WHEREAS, depending on future street access and visibility to this area, either retail or intensive commercial development may be appropriate; and WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the land use scenario and has recommended that the South Central District Plan include scenarios for either community commercial or intensive commercial development on Ruppert Road, depending on street access and visibility. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA, THAT: 1. The discussion of commercial development on page 24 of the South Central District Plan is hereby amended to read as follows: Commercial. Land available in the western reaches of this subarea with fairly direct access to Highway 1 and near Highway 218 provides opportunities for large lot development. These large properties would be suitable for intensive commercial uses with extensive outdoor storage needs. Entranceway aesthetics need to be considered as these intensive commercial properties develop and redevelop. The City has developed Aviation Commerce Park North on land that is no longer needed for the Municipal Airport. The property has street access from Ruppert Road with Highway 1 to the north and Riverside Drive to the east. Much of Aviation Commerce Park North is not visible from Highway 1 and therefore commercial land uses that do not require high visibility are appropriate. The western part of Aviation Commerce Park North is adjacent to Westport Plaza, an existing retail center. There may be the possibility of improving street access and visibility of the western part of Ruppert Road to allow commercial uses, such as retail, that rely on street visibility. In absence of improved visibility and access, commercial uses that do not require high visibility would be an appropriate alternative. 2. The Future Land Use Scenario map is hereby amended to indicate Intensive Commercial on portions of Ruppert Road west of Riverside Drive.

The City will provide Police and Fire protection, and refuse and recycling collection services. Transit routes Eastside Loop and Lakeside serve this area" 2 refuse and recycling collection services. Transit routes Eastside Loop and Lakeside serve this area, with the nearest bus stop located approximately two blocks east, at the intersection of Lakeside Drive and Miami Drive. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant, Todd and Debra Hahn, are requesting approval for a 16-lot, single-family residential subdivision with two outlots, on approximately 5.21 acres of land located south of Lakeside Drive, west of Amber Lane, and east of Stanwick Drive and Gable Street. This property was part of the previous phase (Part VIII) of the overall development of Mount Prospect Addition. It was set aside for religious institutional use, but as the plans to build the church have been abandoned, the land is proposed to be developed as a residential subdivision: ANALYSIS: Compliance with Comprehensive Plan, Zoning and Subdivision Code: The land is part of the Sycamore East Area Neighborhood of the South Planning District. Based on the neighborhood planning principles noted in the Comprehensive Plan, South District Plan outlines Neighborhood Planning Principles, which focus on "... creating a sense of community by ensuring that neighborhoods are designed to be accessible, compact, al]d pedestrian oriented... ". The plan 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 development and such 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. As mentioned above the land for the proposed subdivision was set aside for a church. In February 1997, the previous owner of the property was granted a special exception to permit a religious institution on the land zoned for residential use. Based on this fact, the South District Plan (adopted in December 1997) identifies this area as suitable for institutional use. The plan to build the church has since changed, the special exception has expired and the current property owners are proposing residential development. The proposed development of a low-density single-family residential subdivision is consistent with the existing zoning for this area-RS-5-and with the land uses on the surrounding properties-single-family residential. The proposed lot sizes meet the zoning standards for minimum lot size of 8,000 square feet and minimum lot frontage of 60 feet. The lot areas range from approximately 8,660 square feet to 14,291 square feet. In staff's view, this is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan vision and compatible with the zoning and development pattern of the land adjacent to this property. Outlot B (approximately 0.27 acres) extends along the eastern boundary of the subdivision and contains a portion of the existing Sycamore Greenway Trail. Outlot A (approximately 1,200 square feet) is a narrow strip of extra land adjacent to the proposed street right-of-way for Aniston Street where it intersects with Lakeside Drive. The applicant is proposing to dedicate both outlots to the City. Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The property is generally flat, but contains an area with fully hydric soils. If fully hydric soils exist pcdlstaff report\sub07 _OOOO1_mtprospecl 3 on a property where development activity is proposed, the Code requires that the Sensitive Areas Development Plan include a report from a wetland specialist to verify whether wetlands exist on the site. At the time of the approval for Mount Prospect Addition Part VIII, the applicant submitted a wetland determination report, which identifies approximately 0.1-acre wetland along the east property line. A portion of this area is now part of the Sycamore Greenway trail. Given its small size, this area was determined not be a jurisdictional wetland and therefore is not regulated by the Sensitive Areas Ordinance. As required by the Sensitive Areas Ordinance, a drainable base and tiles are being provided for the portion of Aniston Street that is located over the hydric soils. Neighborhood parkland: At the time of the approval for Mount Prospect Addition Part VIII, it was agreed upon that the land dedication toward the Neighborhood Open Space or the fees in lieu of is to be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit for the subdivision, or land may be dedicated when the property under consideration would be developed. Based on the Neighborhood Open Space Ordinance, the dedication requirement is approximately 0.2 acres of land. As mentioned above, the applicant is proposing to dedicate Outlot B, containing approximately 0.27 acres. Outlot B provides a trail connection from Lakeside Drive to the Sycamore Greenway Trail. This fulfills the open space dedication requirement. . Traffic implications: Aniston Street via Lakeside Drive will serve the proposed subdivision. Aniston Street is a cul-de- sac street (centerline length-approximately 665 feet) and provides access to all the lots from Lakeside Drive. The proposed subdivision, with its 16 lots, will generate approximately 112 vehicle trips per day. The preliminary plat shows a four-foot sidewalk on both sides of the street. The plat also shows a sidewalk easement between lot 9 and lot 10 that will connect the sidewalks to the existing trail-way. Storm water management: Currently, the stormwater from adjoining subdivisions drains into a drainage ditch on the property. The plat shows stormwater infrastructure that extends the existing infrastructure such that the stormwater from the adjoining and proposed subdivision will be conveyed to the Sycamore Regional Stormwater system. Infrastructure fees: The sanitary sewer tap-on fee, water main extension fee and regional stormwater management facility were paid at the time of approval of Mount Prospect Addition Part VIII. 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 SUB07- 00001, a preliminary plat and sensitive areas development plan for Mount Prospect Addition, Part IX, a 16-lot, approximately 5.21-acre residential subdivision locate south of Lakeside Drive, west of Amber Lane.

" Petition to stop the construction of extended Gable Street. I believe that this residential area should not be constructed. There are several reasons why. First of all, if this residential area is constructed, a lot of the wildlife will disappear. If this area is constructed, there will not be many beautiful fields left in the area. Many people living on Stanwyck Drive have property lines that extend into the area to be constructed. Also, many people living on Stanwyck drive have gardens in the area to be constructed. If extended Gable Street is not constructed, the field and ditch will remain one of the few green areas left in Iowa City. Second, there may be vandalism or other crimes committed if the area is constructed. If college students move into the houses, there may be wild parties and loud shouting matches in the middle of the night. People living on Stanwyck Drive and Amber Lane will be incredibly annoyed and agitated due to lack of sleep. If dog owners living on Stanwyck Drive or Amber Lane let their dogs outside in a fenced yard, even if they put a "BEWARE OF DOG" sign that is perfectly visible on the fence, a small child or a young adult that is just playing around may try to pet the dog. If the dog playfully nips or scratches Ute offender, or if the dog is a guard/watch dog, it may attack the offender, the dog owner will be sued even if the "BEWARE OF DOG" sign is clearly visible. If dog owners let their dog out at night and leave the dog unsupervised, someone could steal the dog, and then just run to the backdoor of their house that is just feet away. Third, if there is a street in between Stanwyck Drive and Amber Lane, there will be privacy issues. If young adults or people of any age are playing around at night, dogs will bark and the people who are playing around may shout or scream. People living in Amber Lane and Stanwyck Drive will be agitated by the noise. Residents of Stanwyck Drive and Amber Lane will want to get privacy fences to prevent peeping toms and other nuisances. Instead of the latch of mesh fences, residents of Stanwyck Drive and Amber Lane will want padlocks or chains to prevent stealing. The money used to buy the fences and lock could be used on necessities. Sense the construction of the new street caused workers to bulldoze all the trees separating Stanwyck Drive and Amber Lane, the streetlights of extended Gable Street will shine into the back windows of houses on Amber Lane and Stanwyck Drive. The light will irritate residents of the two streets. During the construction of extended Gable Street, construction lights will be put up. At night, the lights will shine into windows of houses on Amber Lane and Stanwyck Drive and irritate the residents as well. Fourth, animals will be killed. When the construction workers start up the bulldozer to take out the ditch, birds will flyaway, but all of the rodents, raccoons, and other small animals will run to their burrows. Unbeknown to the animals, their burrows are the least safe place at the time. When the bulldozer bulldozes the ditch, it will bulldoze the burrows of the animals as well. If the animals are not already killed by the bulldozer, they will be trapped in their burrows. When the construction workers lay the cement for the street, the animals will die. If you had to pay for coffins and proper funerals for all of the animals killed for the making of this street, you would not have enough money to continue the project. Fifth, many people will be enraged at the destruction of the field and ditch. Many people have lived by this ditch and field for a great portion of their lives. They know that it is a place of beauty and know also that nothing bad has come of it. People from anywhere like to walk on the bike trail that also separates Amber Lane and Stanwyck Drive and look at the pretty scenery. But, with the recent construction of apartments near a hill that the trail runs over and the constructions of Gable Street, there aren't many beautiful places left. But, if construction continues, in about a year, if someone where to walk down the trail, it would be like a trail through a city. Streets and houses would be everywhere. No one will want to walk down the trail any more. To summarize, if extended Gable Street is constructed, wildlife will disappear. If a new street is constructed between Stanwyck Drive and Amber Lane, crimes may be committed. If extended Gable Street is constructed, residents of both Amber Lane and Stanwyck Drive will want more privacy. To construct this street many animals and a huge number of trees will be killed. And, many people will be enraged about the construction. This is a petition to stop the construction of extended Gable Street. The people who have signed below do not want this construction to take place. 1. If this residential area is constructed, a lot of the wildlife will disappear. 2. There may be vandalism or other crimes committed if the area is constructed. 3. If there is a street in between Stanwyck Drive and Amber Lane, there will be privacy issues. 4. Animals will be killed. 5. Many people will be enraged at the destruction of the field and ditch.

Iowa Code Sections 306A. 7 and 307.44 provide for the Recipient and the Department to enter into agreements with each other for the purpose of financing transportation improvement projects on streets and highways in Iowa with Federal funds. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), Public Law 109-59, reestablished the Surface Transportation Program (STP), now codified at Section 133(b) otTitle 23, United States Code (U.S.C.).

Federal-aid highways include all Federal Functional Classifications, except for rural minor collectors or local roads. Federal regulations require STP funds to be administered by the Department.

As a resident of the Northside Neighborhood (328 Brown Street) I would like to express my strong opposition to such plans. Though I have not seen the actual plans, I have witnessed the deleterious effect of such street expansions in residential areas around Iowa City, most particularly and recently in the section of North Dodge street immediately north of the fusion of Dodge and Governor. The inevitable effects of such expansions include an increase in traffic and a considerable deterioration of the residential aesthetics of the area. While Church Street offers a useful connection from Dubuque to Dodge and Governor, Jefferson and Market should remain the primary routes towards the eastern residential sections of the city. And carving into the pedestrian area of Dubuque near this intersection will only further contribute to the deterioration of what is already an endangered residential area. I am angry that there has not been extensive notification to residents of the area of these plans and urge you to solicit extensive residential input before considering a street alteration with such potentially negative consequences.

Church and Dubuque changes Dear City Council Members: As a homewner on Northside (707 N. Dodge), I am writing to express my concern about possible changes to the intersection of Church and Dubuque Streets. While I understand that traffic is heavy at this intersection, it is important that we not end up in a situation in which traffic is made heavier on Church Street; Dubuque is an arterial street, but I would be loathe to see Church become one. As I understand it, there is a proposal to put left-hand turn lanes on all four parts of the intersection. I am against this. In particular, I oppose any changes to Church Street. If turn lanes are added to Church, it will enable still greater traffic volume on this street which already has too much traffic. If any turn lanes are to be add~d, it should only be on Dubuque and then only as a way of improving flow on Dubuque so that it can continue to serve efficiently as an arterial street. If adding turn lanes at Dubuque will not significantly improve this flow, then there is no point to add them. Thank you for your consideration of my opinion on an issue which directly affects my neighborhood.

Dear City Council Members: I am EXTREMELY troubled to hear that you are considering significant alterations to the intersection of Church and Dubuque Street and possibly even along Church Street itself. Although I appreciate that traffic is somewhat heavy at that intersection at morning and evening "rush,'! any physical alteration of that intersection, especially any widening the streets and adding turn lanes, will have a serious, permanent, and very negative impact on the Northside Neighborhood. There has been very little notice about this potential action; I only heard of it today. Since it would permanently affect a very prominent and vital area of our community I strongly hope that that you will not move on the resolution tonight (unless you reject it outright!). We all need more information and public discussion of the issue. I have lived in the Northside Neighborhood for over fifteen years, first as a homeowner at 423 Church Street for seven years and then as a homeowner at 325 Brown Street, where I still live with my husband and now seven-year old daughter. I was the originator of the major rezoning of Church Street back in about 1993, rallying my neighbors to band together to support an application to change the street from RM12 (Residential Multi) to RNC12 (Residential Neighborhood Conservation). The success of this action led to the eventual rezoning of the rest of the northside (from Bloomington to Fairchild Streets) to RNC. Along with the existing RSS (Residential Single) and RS8 zones along Brown Street, the RNC12 zone has marvelously secured and stabilized the entire northside as a primarily residential neighborhood. This has been a tremendous boon to our neighborhood. The changes have been visible and tangible, leading to greater preservation of the housing stock itself (no more destruction of homes for apartment buildings), a notable increase in owner occupancy and capital improvements of older houses, and a notable influx of families who are increasingly recognizing this area as a great place to raise children and own homes with excellent property value. People are returning to this area to live for the long-term, and investing in it both financially and personally. I know, for example, of at least thirty children under 15 years of age who now live in a four block area (from Fairchild to Brown and Linn to Johnson) in homes that formerly were childless (and this is just an informal, quick count, not a survey). Encouraging more traffic on Church Street would be a direct contradiction to the City's commitment to stabilize the area, and I have no doubt that it would lead to a reversal of these and other gains we have made through rezoning. Horace Mann Elementary School, at the corner of Dodge and Church Streets has nearly 300 young children who with their parents are crossing and/or traversing Church Street twice a day. This fact alone should be the highest priority for discouraging more traffic on Church Street. The number and speed of the cars around the school is already a hazard for these youngsters; we need more protection for them, not less! Surely there is a better way of handling the brief interludes of traffic congestion at Church and Dubuque? At the very least we need time to consider the possibilities deliberately, rationally, and with as much consideration and engagement of the area residents as possible. I urge you to reject the proposed changes outright at tonight's meeting, or at the very least a delay that will allow for public discussion, hearings, and alternative proposals. 1 Thank you for your consideration.

I am very opposed to this change. I believe it is one of those ideas that seem at first to be good but which have many unintended negative consequences. I'm sure the people proposing this are well-intentioned, but the research of which I am aware all points to the fact that making road changes to make car travel faster results in only very temporary improvements, while producing a permanent increase in traffic. That intersection is already not so friendly to pedestrians, so I would not want to see any changes that would make it more difficult for foot traffic to cross. I am also very concerned about the change increasing traffic on Church Street.

Just as I have always appreciated the brick paving for Linn and Brown that reduce automobile traffic and slow it down substantially, I strongly resist any proposed idea to facilitate fast-moving automobile traffic on Church Street. (The speed limit is already little enforced!) Such a change will divide the neighborhood in half; it will make bicycle and pedestrian travel more hazardous; and it will add automobile noise to a still quiet residential street. Frankly, facilitating expeditious car traffic through my neighborhood is the last thing I would want. I'm quite willing to wait to turn left into my neighborhood when I am driving a car if it means that we all can keep what quiet we have, our children can ride bicycles with reasonable safety to Horace Mann School, we can walk downtown with reasonable safety, and we can retain the green space and the trees. Allover the nation--the world even--cities are trying to start or resurrect walkable mixed use, mixed income neighborhoods like the Northside and Goosetown. Iowa City has been trying to do the same thing for several years on the Peninsula. In the Northside and in Goosetown and in other places in Iowa City we already have such neighborhoods.

I am writing about possible changes to Church Street and the addition of turning lanes in the future. I believe this to be a bad idea for the North side, especially any chance of turning lanes being added to Church Street. Yes, the street has some traffic, but not near enough to even consider adding turn lanes. This would totally be unnecessary and would serve to cut the neighborhood in half. Many trees would also have to be removed changing the look and feel of Church Street. As far as adding turning lanes from Dubuque to Church Street, though traffic does get heavy some times, I don't believe it warrants the need for a turning lane. I walk through that intersection every day, and have not noticed that there is a problem. I do notice that sometimes the Cambus has to wait to turn, but that is usually because a car has not stopped back far enough as indicated by traffic signs at that intersection.

Dear Council Members, When considering changes to the Church & Dubuque intersection, please consider the long-term goals for the Northside Neighboorhoods. Already, zoning has been put in place to restrict the large scale apartment complexes we see on the same north/south streets south of Burlington. The Northside is an near-ideal mix of student rental, owner occupied, single-family rental and multi-unit rental. This is what most of our zoning efforts are trying to accomplish. Please do not fix what is not broken. In other neighborhoods, residents ask for sleeping policemen or even a barricade to limit or exclude through traffic. All that we residents of Church and Gilbert request is that the Council not make the conscious decision to change our streets from residential neighborhood to main arterials. The design for traffic flow is Dubuque to Jefferson, please use city funds to enhance this pattern rather than harming a neighborhood that works so well. That way, years from now, we won't have to re-invent the Northside somewhere else as is being attempted on the peninsula.

Such widening of the those roads will make it more dangerous for pedestrians at what is a major walking route to campus. More importantly, expanding those streets will have a negative impact on the Northside neighborhood, turning what is now a residential street (Church St) into an arterial road, which it was never intended to be. Finally, this proposed widening directly contradicts the public input at the recent series of meetings on the Central District plan at which there was near consensus that Iowa City should devise creative ways to increase foot and bike access and to make the city more pedestrian friendly. The last thing we need is more traffice diverted through a residential neighborhood and wider lanes to encourage increased speeding and volume of traffic. Thank you for listening to these concerns.

I am writing in regards to the discussion that will be held tonight about turn lanes at the intersection of Church and Dubuque. The city should consider Church Street a collector street rather than an arterial street.. .as we have two streets just a few blocks south for arterial purposes. Church street, particularly between Dubuque and /Governor Dodge is mostly residential and we need to maintain that atmosphere. Putting turn lanes at intersection of Church and Dubuque will PROMOTE the use of Church street as an arterial road, and the neighborhood is not exemplary of that activity. The current situation with Church Street, where part-time parking in evenings and weekends also helps to alleviate parking issues in the area. In addition, I feel that putting a turn late at the intersection of Church and Dubuque is likely to mean that Church Street will eventually become a 3-lane road. I am strongly opposed to this action. Certainly, I have a vested interest in keeping my neighborhood as residential as possible. I love the mix of college students and single family dwellings as well as the neighborhood atmosphere. I believe that the neighborhood has come to a good mix of individuals, parking issues and use of streets. Do not put turn lanes at the intersection of Church and Dubuque, as it will destroy the atmosphere along Church Street and promote its use as an arterial rather than collector street! You would be better off, in my opinion, to consider how Church Street can be made a historic district to link with Brown and possible Linn Street districts to create another truly excellent area near downtown and the University in which to reside! ! As a final note, I would ask what data have been collected at the intersection of Church and Dubuque versus Dubuque and other 2 arterial roads (Jefferson and Market) to warrant this consideration.

As Northside residents, we feel the proposed changes you outlined are overkill and are opposed to them as currently designed. The primary problem that we have witnessed at that intersection is created by southbound CAMBUS trying to turn right off Dubuque Street onto Church Street. The radius of that corner does not allow them to make this turn without going into the east bound lane of Church Street. Therefore, if a car is waiting at the red light on Church Street west of Dubuque a bus can not make the turn and sits waiting for that east bound lane to clear. If there is also a car on Dubuque Street waiting to turn left onto Church the south bound traffic on Dubuque comes to a complete stop. It seems that if the radius on the northwest corner, relating to the UI President's Residence, was enlarged so buses could make that right hand turn off Dubuque onto Church without going into the east bound lane of Church, traffic would be able to move more freely down Dubuque Street without providing excessive opportunity for vehicles to easily make a right hand turn onto Church and turn that into more of a "freeway" than it is currently. Any notion of widening or creating turn lane on Church Street needs to take into account the impact on the stately trees along Church Street. The removal or damage to any of these trees for the sake of some perceived benefit to vehicles is unconscionable. We urge the Council to approve a widening of the turning radius for southbound vehicles turning west on Church, but to reject any further improvements to this intersection.

I oppose this change. Adding a south bound turn lane to the center of Dubuque Street at the Church St. intersection may have merit by improving wait times when turning left onto Church St. However, this will also encourage more traffic onto Church St., which_is not an art~[ial street. Traffic should be encouraged to continue south down Dubuque street to Market and Jefferson, as these streets are designated arterials. It is also questionable why northbound traffic on Dubuque street should need a left turn lane at all, as this would feed onto a one block section of Church street that ends abruptly at Clinton St. Funneling more traffic to the west on Church toward Clinton, where the only choice is another left turn south on Clinton makes no sense to me. (Unless you plan to build a bridge across the Iowa River extending Church Street to the west or you just think it's a good idea to keep traffic moving in circles). Adding a turn lane to allow more easy flow of traffic onto Church St. will disrupt the north side neighborhood. Church St. will have to be widened. More traffic will choose to turn south onto Gilbert St. from Church. GilbElrt Street south from Church as far as Bloomington isa residential street. Increasing the flow of traffic onto Church St. will increase the flow of traffic on this portion of N. Gilbert St. This will further disrupt the north side neighborhood. It strikes me as odd the city went to such effort to create the retro look in the peninsula neighborhood in order to mimic what we still have on the north side yet the council continues to consider actions that will damage the very neighborhood you're trying to recreate elsewhere. In addition, the city continues to encourage downtown development. By making these traffic flow changes the north side will decline. As councilors you should consider the future value of the north side neighborhood to Iowa City. You can continue to increase traffic, which will encourage the deterioration of the neighborhood, or you can take steps to decrease traffic and increase the livability of the north side neighborhood, which is one of the reasons why Iowa City continues to be rated as a uniquely pleasant place to live.ChEOj;k out anv advertisement for San Francisco; vou'lI see JlLOminenUy disRL8Y_ed the giger, welLRreserved parts_Qf thEO~ Why on earth do you work for an improved downtown and a retro neighborhood on the peninsula, yet consider changes that will destablelize the area in between?
