CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN
AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST A CONDITIONAL ZONING
AGREEMENT WITH TYLER ROGERS, THE OWNER OF PROPERTY
LOCATED IN JOHNSON COUNTY, IOWA
Comment: Tyler Rogers, owner of approximately three acres on Kansas
Road in Johnson County, Iowa, has applied to Johnson County for a
residential rezoning and subdivision of the property. The City of Iowa City
owns nearby property which is intended for use as an expansion of the
landfill. As development of the property will require the installation of a
well, and, under IDNR regulations, all landfill operations must be located
beyond 1000' of any well, the City and the property owner agree that,
upon the City's application for use of the abutting property as landfill, the
well will be closed and the City will provide an alternative source of
potable water. While the City only acts in an advisory capacity on
rezonings in this fringe area, the City is a party to this Conditional Zoning
Agreement for enforcement and tracking purposes. This Resolution
authorizes the execution of the Conditional Zoning Agreement with Tyler
Rogers.

FOOD IN CHAUNCEY SWAN PARK. (FIRST CONSIDERATION)

to allow up to four (4) vendors to grill and prepare food and beverages (such as
lemonade). Staff supports this expansion of the market. Unlike other vendors who
operate in the ramp, those in the park will need to obtain insurance just as mobile
vendors who operate in City Plaza and on Iowa Avenue.

AMENDING CITY CODE TITLE 7, ENTITLED FIRE PREVENTION AND

ESTABLISH FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW AND EXISTING
GROUP A-2 AND B OCCUPANCIES.
Comment: On March 5, 2007 The Board of Appeals recommended, by unanimous
vote, to approve the proposed amendments to the international Building/Fire Codes
that requires existing A-2/B Occupancies with State of Iowa Alcoholic Beverage
Division License (ABDL) to be retrofitted with a fire sprinkler system and a fire alarm
system with voice alarm capabilities. Also, the Board recommended that all new A-2
Occupancies, when the occupant load is 100 or more, have a fire sprinkler system, a
fire alarm system with voice alarm capabilities, and exit widths that will accommodate
two-thirds (2/3) of the occupant load. The recommendations are contingent on a City-
supported financial incentive program. A memo and revised summary of the
proposed ordinance as discussed at the Council meeting of 6/5/07 is included in
the Council packet. Also, included in this packet is a summary of the Life-
