ORDINANCE NO.
ORDINANCE REZONING APPROXIMATELY 0.47 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT
906 N. DODGE STREET FROM MULTI - FAMILY (R313) ZONE TO HIGH DENSITY SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (RS -12) ZONE AND APPROXIMATELY 1.15 ACRES OF LAND

(11313) ZONE TO MEDIUM DENSITY MULTI - FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (RM -20) ZONE. (REZ12-
000016,18 & 19)
WHEREAS, the City of Iowa City has initiated a. rezoning of property located of 906 North Dodge Street
from Multi- family (13313) to High - Density Single - Family Residential (RS -12); property located at 911 North
Governor Street from Commercial Office (CO -1) to High - Density Single - Family Residential (RS -12); property
located at 902 and 906 North Dodge Street from Multi- family (R3B) to Medium - Density Multi - Family
Residential (RM -20) in order to bring the properties into compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, City plans and policies, including the Comprehensive and Strategic Plan, have changed
considerably in the last 40 years, with the current Comprehensive Plan and Historic Preservation Plan
containing policies to encourage preservation of the single family character of the City's older single family
neighborhoods and policies that serve to stabilize these neighborhoods by encouraging a healthier balance of
rental and owner - occupied housing rather than redevelopment for housing that serves primarily short-term
residents; and
WHEREAS, the Central District Plan indicates that R313 zoning is obsolete and the properties with this
designation should be rezoned to a valid zoning designation;
WHEREAS, the Central District Plan, an element of the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan, indicates that the
vacant property located immediately north of 906 North Dodge Street and the property at 911 North Governor
Street are appropriate for single - family and duplex residential development (2 -13 dwelling units per acre); and
WHEREAS, the current office development and Commercial Office zoning at 911 North Governor Street
is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is not well- suited for modern office uses due to its location
on a sloping, one -way street with poor visibility and access; and
WHEREAS, the Central District Plan indicates that the properties at 902 and 906 North Dodge Street are
appropriate for low- to medium - density multi - family development; this designation is intended to acknowledge
the density of the existing multi - family buildings, but not allow further redevelopment or densification; and
WHEREAS, the multi - family buildings at 902 and 906 North Dodge Street were originally developed
under R3B zoning, a high - density multi - family zoning designation that is obsolete; and
WHEREAS, R313 zoning allowed development up to a density of approximately 58 dwelling units per acre
and under this zoning designation the properties at 902 and 606 North Dodge Street were developed at a unit
density of approximately 20 units per acre; and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan policies in place during the 1960s that led to the R313 zoning on
Dodge Street encouraged demolition and redevelopment of older neighborhoods at higher densities; and
WHEREAS, the City's Zoning Code no longer includes the R313 zoning designation due to its
inconsistency with the City's current comprehensive planning goals and policies; and
WHEREAS, rezoning the subject properties to appropriate and valid zoning designations will
acknowledge the existing multi - family uses located on the properties at 902 and 906 North Dodge Street,
while ensuring that any future development of the vacant parcel located north of 906 North Dodge Street or
any future redevelopment of 911 North Governor Street provides a transition to a density that is more
compatible with the residential character and lower density of the surrounding neighborhood and is consistent
with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan, Central District Plan, and Historic Preservation Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed rezoning and recommend
approval; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA:
SECTION I APPROVAL. Property described below is hereby reclassified from its current zoning
designations as indicated below:

Importance: High
Mr. Mayor-
We wanted to wait a few days before sending this email so that we had better clarity of this
situation before we sent our email comments in to Council. TSB Holdings LLC found it odd that you
recused yourself on the basis that you own a property within 200 feet of the area of the rezoning
matter before City Council at last week's meeting. Then when questions came up by other City
Council members to legal you jumped in and spoke up after you recused yourself and even gave a
Legal opinion to support the City Attorney's position relating to the spot downzoning of TSB
Holdings LLC properties.
TSB Holdings LLC finds this very troubling do to the relationship your law firm has with the
properties owned by TSB Holdings LLC on North Dodge Street in Iowa City that are listed on this
rezoning application before City Council. We would respectfully like at this time to ask that you to
recuse yourself from the items on the City Council Agenda that pertain to the properties owned by
TSB Holdings LLC located at 902 Ft 906 North Dodge Street 8t Lot 49 Subdivision SE Y4 Section 3 Iowa
City IA.
At this time we would like to remind or point out what we feel is a conflict of interest relating to
this rezoning application to you and the City Council. The fact that your Law Firm represents from
inception TSB Holdings LLC which owns the properties on the rezoning application is a conflict in
our opinion. TSB Holdings LLC would also like to point out the fact that on a daily basis your
partner Joe Moreland and your firm represent TSB Holdings LLC and are the register agents for TSB
Holdings LLC which you may all confirm on the Secretary of State website.
In the past you have recused yourself on this basis from all actions relating to Tracy Barkalow or
any company I own in full or part when the items are before the City Council so at this time we
would respectfully ask that you do the same in this matter. We believe our request should be in
place for all current and future communications and meetings relating to this City Downzoning
Application that was submitted by the City of Iowa City or any future City of Iowa City matter
before the City Council that is owned by Tracy Barkalow personally or TSB Holdings LLC or any
other company owned in part or full by Tracy Barkalow.
If there is any confusion and this is not ok with you please let us know in a written response what
your position is so that we know how to address this with the City Council at the next public
meeting.
Respectfully,

MEMORANDUM
Date: February 4, 2013
To: Tom Markus, City Ma ager
From: Douglas Boothroy, Director
Re: Requiring residential trash, yard
front yard or screened from publ
and
and recycling containers to be located out of the
The City Council at its February 19, 2013, meeting will be giving first consideration to an ordinance
that amends the housing code and the solid waste ordinance to require storage of residential solid
waste, yard waste, and recycling containers to be located behind the front building line of a
residential structure(out of the front yard) or screened from public view.
ISSUE:
The near downtown neighborhoods have complained that rental properties that use the City's 65
gallon capacity roll -out trash carts often store these carts in the yard area between the residential
structure and the street (i.e., front yard). The storage of trash containers in front yards creates a
nuisance and has a negative visual impact on surrounding properties and the neighborhood. Roll-
out trash containers located in the front yard are unnecessary clutter, often over flowing and provide
an attractive nuisance for pests and /or scavengers that scatter the trash. Properties with trash
containers stored in the front yard appear poorly maintained and degrade the livability of a
neighborhood.
Current regulations do require trash and recycling containers to be removed from the street curb on
the same day trash collection is made but only require containers to be returned to a location
"reasonably near" the side or back of a building (i.e., containers may be stored in the front yard).
The "reasonably near" standard cannot be enforced to remove trash containers out of front yards. A
code amendment is necessary to address the concerns of the neighborhood.
Therefore, staff proposes amending the housing code and solid waste ordinances to eliminate the
"reasonably near" standard and require all solid waste, yard waste, and recycling containers to be
located behind the front building line of a residential structure. If, as solely determined by the city, a
container cannot be practically located anywhere but between the residential structure and the street
right -of -way, then; the City may approve a location in the front yard provided it is screened to prevent
visibility from the street right -of -way and neighboring properties. Screening design and materials
would be approved by the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Keeping neighborhoods clean and attractive is important to the health of our neighborhoods and that
begins in the front yard. Requiring trash containers to be located behind the front of buildings or
screened will help neighborhood appearance, reduce trash issues, and support neighborhood
stabilization(priority of the Strategic Plan). Therefore, I am recommending Council approve the
ordinance requiring trash, yard waste, and recycling containers to be located out of the front yard or
screened from public view.

RE: Support proposed changes related to Residential Solid Waste Container
Storage
Honorable Council members:
The Northside Neighborhood Association supports the intent of the ordinance
amendments that appear as Item #11 on your February 19, 2013 meeting agenda. Since
we have not had an opportunity to discuss with Mr. Boothroy the ordinance modification
prior to its inclusion in your Council packet, we would like to review with him the precise
language.
The proposed changes are the result of a meeting between the neighborhood and City staff
last April, where neighbors expressed frustration with the practice by some residents of
habitually storing garbage containers (often full to overflowing) next to front porches and
sidewalks. The garbage containers remain on full view to the neighborhood throughout the
week, not just on trash pick -up day. The staff memo included in your packet summarizes
our frustrations with this situation, and we do not believe the proposed changes will prove
onerous to any resident or property owner.
While the intent of the proposed changes before you are a good first step, we encourage the
City's Housing and Inspection Services department to develop additional language which
would bring trash dumpsters located at multi - family units into compliance with current
site development standards (e.g., screened by an opaque fence or wall).
With sufficient notice (possibly one year), there should be no reason, financial or
otherwise, preventing property owners from screening dumpsters from general street or
neighborhood view. Openly displayed dumpsters are, at best, unsightly, and can encourage
rogue behavior, such as the dumping of mattresses (see photos on next page). Placing
dumpsters within an enclosure will also prevent the constant blowing of litter from the
dumpsters onto surrounding areas.
Our Association will be happy to work with City staff to flesh out this additional proposal,
and to make sure that it works for everyone.
Sincerely,
Mike Wright, Coordinator Sarah Clark, Recorder

garbage
Dear Council,
I under stand that the council is considering banning garbage containers from in front of a houses property line. I think
the problem, if it is such is more subtle than this solution. The benefits of city living even in a small one such as Iowa City
is a bit of leeway, variety, signs of life and non conformity. Typical of many subdivisions are standardized mail boxes,
including the color of the post holding up the box, the height and color of fences, the design of patios, not being able to
hang laundry anywhere, no cars on the driveway, or streets and self appointed squads roaming the streets looking for
various infractions. I can see the desire to limit the so called and stereo typical white trash look with old pickup trucks, pit
bulls and poor up keep, but I think Iowa City is anal enough without garbage container police.
Additionally, although theoretically a good idea, the idea of dumping low income housing into more affluent
neighborhoods, often makes it difficult for someone next door to sell their property, which is not the owners fault and is
also unfair to these owners. Again more sublety is needed, as this kind of action on its face, contradicts the concern for
garbage containers. In fact, prior to learning of the councils consideration of the garbage can menace, I never noticed
that a few of my neighbors violate this proposal. Horrors!
Sincerely,
Dennis Kowalski
