RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE NORTHEAST DISTRICT PLAN, AN ELEMENT OF
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, TO INTEGRATE A LARGE INSTITUTIONAL
PROPERTY INTO THE PLAN FOR THE LINDEMANN HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD
NORTH OF THE PUBLIC SQUARE ALONG LOWER WEST BRANCH ROAD.
WHEREAS, the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan, consisting of specific District components,
serves as a land-use planning guide by illustrating and describing the location and configuration of
appropriate land uses throughout the City, and also provides notification to the public regarding
intended uses of land; and
WHEREAS, if circumstances change and/or additional information or factors come to light, a
change to the Comprehensive Plan may be in the public interest; and
WHEREAS, the Northeast District Plan describes the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood as
appropriate for a traditional residential neighborhood served by a grid-like street pattern radiating
out from an approximately 2-acre public square located along Lower West Branch Road, with
sidewalks and trail connections that ensure good vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation
between residences, the public square and other important neighborhood destinations; and
WHEREAS, a religious institution in the community has expressed a need for a large campus
for development of new facilities; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission have determined that institutional uses,
such as churches are an integral part of many residential neighborhoods and provided that these
larger uses are integrated into a connected street and pedestrian network so that traffic circulation
and public access to shared open space is not compromised, these types of uses can be
beneficial to the development of livable neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment to the plan map for the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood
within the Northeast District Plan illustrates how a large institutional campus can be incorporated
into future residential areas in a manner that is in concert with the original principles illustrated and
described for the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, the accompanying text amendment to the Northeast District Plan describes in
more detail how a large institutional use might be integrated into the residential neighborhoods
that develop in this area of the city in concert with the original principles adopted for the
Lindemann Hills Neighborhood.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA
CITY, IOWA, THAT:
1. The plan map for the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood, as described and illustrated in the
Northeast District Plan, is hereby amended according to the attached plan map.
2. The following text shall be included in the Northeast District Plan as a means of indicating
the intent of the amended plan map attached hereto:
The plan map for the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood was revised in 2007 to provide the
opportunity for a large institutional use, a church, to locate north of the public square along Lower
West Branch Road. The principles adopted with the original plan remain intact, including the
public square as a neighborhood focal point, interconnected streets extending from the four
corners of the public square, with sidewalks and trail connections that ensure good vehicular,
pedestrian, and bicycle circulation between residences, the public square, and other important
neighborhood destinations, such as neighborhood commercial areas and the linear open space

along the stream corridors that flow north-south along both the eastern and western edges of the
neighborhood.
The revised map illustrates how this large institutional use can be integrated successfully into
future residential neighborhoods that will surround the church. A trail connection across the
center of this large property will insure a means of east-west travel through the neighborhood.
Since east-west street connections will be limited by the large institutional property, it will be
particularly important to include an east-west street along the northern boundary of the church
property, which will be built as property north of the church property is annexed and developed in
the future. This street will provide a second means of access for the church and provide a needed
east-west street connection for future residential areas that surround the church property. Public
right-of-way is being acquired from the church for this purpose.
Open spaces within residential areas should be visible and accessible to the public. Single-
loaded streets along park edges and conveniently located mid-block trail connections are strongly
encouraged so that all neighborhood residents are within walking distance of parks and open
space and so that the trail system can be used as a means of traveling around and through the
neighborhood. This principle is particularly important for medium density development, such as
townhouses and multi-family, where the amount of private open space is limited.
Development should integrate sensitive features, including groves of trees, wooded areas, and
stream corridors as amenities for the new neighborhoods that develop in this area. The layout of
streets and home lots as shown on the plan map may be adjusted based on topography and to
preserve natural features and existing farmsteads and estates. Alternative street layouts that
preserve natural features and acknowledge existing homes and structures, while ensuring good
neighborhood street connectivity and the public square as a focal point of the neighborhood, are
encouraged.
Suggested locations for medium density residential uses, such as townhouses and multi-family
are noted on the plan map. There may be other locations, however, that are suitable for these
housing types, such as along single loaded streets across from parks, close to neighborhood
commercial areas and along arterial street corridors. The remaining area is suitable for single
family homes. Collector streets built with rear alleys for vehicular access will allow for smaller,
more affordable home lots and increased traffic safety on these higher volume streets.
If, for whatever reason, the property located north of the public square is not developed as an
institutional use, this land would be appropriate for residential development with medium density
residential uses appropriate for land adjacent to the public square and lower density single family
residential uses located further north on streets that extend across the property in an
interconnected pattern similar to what is illustrated for the rest of the Lindemann Hills
Neighborhood.

MEMORANDUM
Date: August 10, 2007
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Karen Howard
RE: REZ07 -00010 - St. Patrick's Church and related NE District Plan amendment
During drafting and negotiations regarding the conditional zoning agreement for the
proposed St. Patrick's church site, an issue was brought to our attention that we feel
needs to be addressed in the language we are adding to the Northeast District Plan
and in the conditional zoning agreel')1ent. If, for whatever reason, the property in
question is not developed as an institutional use and is instead sold for residential
development, there should be a clause in the Northeast District Plan that allows
such a change, provided any resulting subdivision would be developed in a manner
consistent with the connected street pattern as illustrated on the plan map for the
rest of the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood.
We recommend adding the following paragraph to the Northeast District Plan text .
amendment:
If, for whatever reason, the property located north of the public square is
not developed as an institutional use, this land would be appropriate for
residential development with medium density residential uses appropriate
for land adjacent to the public square and lower density single family
residential uses located further north on streets that extend across the
property in an interconnected pattern similar to what is illustrated for the
rest of the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood.
Please let us know if you have any concerns about adding this language to the
recommendation for the Northeast District Plan amendment that will be sent to
Council for public hearing on August 21.

MEMORANDUM
July 19, 2007
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Karen Howard, Associate Planner
Re: Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Northeast District
Based on input at your informal meeting on Monday and input from property owners in the area,
I've revised and added to the text that staff recommends for the NE District Plan. The
underlined text indicates a change from the memo distributed to you previously.
The plan map for the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood was revised in 2007 to provide the
opportunity for a large institutional use, a church, to locate north of the public square
along Lower West Branch Road. The principles adopted with the original plan remain
intact, including the public square as a neighborhood focal point, interconnected streets
extending from the four corners of the public square, with sidewalks and trail
connections that ensure good vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation between
residences, the public square, and other important neighborhood destinations, such as
neighborhood commercial areas and the linear open space along the stream corridors
that flow north-south along both the eastern and western edges of the neighborhood.
The revised map illustrates how this large institutional use can be integrated successfully
into future residential neighborhoods that will surround the church. A trail connection
across the center of this large property will insure a means of east-west travel through
the neighborhood. Since east-west street connections will be limited by the larae
institutional property, it will be particularly important to include an east-west street alona
the northern boundary of the church property. which would be built as property north of
the church property is annexed and developed in the future. This street will provide a
second means of access for the church and provide a needed east-west street
connection for future residential areas that surround the church property. Public riaht-of-
way is beina acauired from the church for this purpose.
Open spaces within residential areas should be visible and accessible to the public.
Single-loaded streets along park edges and conveniently located mid-block trail
connections are strongly encouraged so that all neighborhood residents are within
walking distance of parks and open space and so that the trail system can be used as a
means of traveling around and through the neighborhood. This principle is particularly
important for medium density development, such as townhouses and multi-family, where
the amount of private open space is limited.
Development should intearate sensitive features. includina aroves of trees, wooded
areas. and stream corridors as amenities for the new neiahborhoods that develop in this
area. The layout of streets and home lots as shown on the plan map may be adiusted
based on topoaraphy and to preserve natural features and existina farmsteads and
estates. Alternatiye street layouts that preserve natural features and acknowledae
existina homes and structures. while ensurina aood neiahborhood street connectivity
and the public sauare as a focal point of the neiahborhood, are encouraaed.
Suggested locations for medium density residential uses, such as townhouses and multi-
family are noted on the plan map, however, there may be other locations that may be
suitable for these housing types, such as along single loaded streets across from parks,
close to neighborhood commercial areas and along arterial street corridors. The
remaining area is suitable for single family homes. Collector streets built with rear alleys
for vehicular access will allow for smaller, more affordable home lots and increase traffic
safety on these higher volume streets.

July 12, 2007
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Karen Howard, Associate Planner
Re: REZ07 -00010 - Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Conditional Zoning Agreement
When the City received applications for annexation and rezoning from St. Patrick's Church for a
14-acre property north of the proposed public square along Lower West Branch Road (ANN07-
00002/REZ07 -00010), the question was raised whether such a large institutional use in this
location would be compatible with the principles, goals, and objectives of the Northeast District
Plan.
The plan describes this area of the Northeast District as the "Lindemann Hills Neighborhood,"
which features traditional neighborhood development served by a grid-like street pattern
radiating out from an approximately 2-acre public square located along Lower West Branch
Road. The public square is intended to function as a neighborhood focal point. To that end, the
plan emphasizes interconnected streets extending from the four corners of the square, with
sidewalks and trail connections that ensure good vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation
between residences, the public square, and other important neighborhood destinations, such as
neighborhood commercial areas and the linear open space along the stream corridors that flow
north-south along both the eastern and western edges of the neighborhood. The plan states
that the modified grid street system will help disperse vehicular traffic more evenly throughout
the area and will further the goal of having parks and neighborhood commercial areas that are
accessible by foot or bike, as well as by car.
There are several factors that will make it challenging to incorporate a large church property into
the plan for the neighborhood:
· The church property extends more than 1000 feet north of the public square, thereby
reducing the number of east-west street connections possible within the neighborhood;
· The church is purchasing property on three sides of the public square;
· The church will generate a significant amount of traffic concentrated at times when
services are being held.
To explore ways of accommodating the church, the City hired a land planning consultant,
Brenda Nelson of Nelson Design P.L.C, to develop an alternative street pattern that might
mitigate the factors cited above and maintain the principles of the Northeast District Plan. Ms.
Nelson has submitted the attached plan map for the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood. Staff finds
that this alternative plan successfully incorporates the following elements:
· Streets that connect to the public square and provide Qood traffic circulation - The 14-
acre church parcel includes street connections to the northeast and northwest corners of
the public square to ensure good public access to this focal point of the neighborhood.
On the plan map these streets radiate out from the square in a curvilinear pattern to
provide a collector street to serve future residential areas east and west of the church
property and provide connections to arterial streets, Taft Avenue and Herbert Hoover
Highway. A second collector street located east of the church property would provide a
north-south connection from Lower West Branch Road to Herbert Hoover Highway. A
number of the blocks along these streets are illustrated with rear alleys, similar to what is
1
currently shown in the District Plan. These alleys will allow for an increased number of
home lots along these higher volume streets without sacrificing traffic and pedestrian
safety.
. Street access to the church property from the north - There is a local street illustrated
along the northern edge of the church property to provide a future means of access to
the church from the north. An institutional use of this size is likely to generate a
significant amount of traffic when services are being held. Providing for a second means
of access to the property will help to disperse traffic during these peak times.
. East-west bicycle/pedestrian connections to and across the church property - Potential
pedestrian connections are illustrated on the map that extend to the church property
from future neighborhood streets east and west of the church. Staff recommends that at
the time of development, the church determine a location for a public access easement
extending east-west across the center of the property to allow east-west pedestrian and
bicycle travel as an alternative to streets that would have otherwise been built in this
location.
. Parks and trails that take advantaae of natural features - The plan map illustrates two
linear parks with trails connections centered on the stream corridors in the eastern and
western sections of the neighborhood. The park to the west shows how the existing
pond, currently located on a large estate, could be retained as open space if this
property were ever to be subdivided and incorporated into the city for urban
development. Similar to the current Northeast District Plan, a linear park and trail
connection is illustrated along Ralston Creek as it parallels Taft Avenue in the eastern
section of the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood. A designated pedestrian connection
between these two linear parks is shown along the future street along the northern
boundary of the church property. A wide sidewalk would be appropriate along this street
to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists traveling between these trail corridors.
. A variety of housina options - In keeping with the original principles of the Northeast
District Plan, this alternative plan map illustrates how a variety of housing types can be
integrated into the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood, including detached single family,
attached single family (townhouses and zero lot line dwellings), and multi-family.
Development of townhouses would be particularly suited to areas where there are
single-loaded streets, such as along park boundaries and along the street just north of
the church. Multi-family and townhouse development is also appropriate along arterial
streets, which will be designed to handle the amount of traffic generated by these higher
density housing types. Incorporating rear alleys along collector streets within the
neighborhood will provide the opportunity for smaller, more affordable home lots.
Staff finds that the attached alternative plan map retains the general concepts and principles of
the Northeast District Plan, while accommodating the future development of a large institutional
use on property north of the public square along Lower West Branch Road. The principles of
the plan can be achieved by ensuring street connections to the northeast and northwest corners
of the public square; providing an east-west pedestrian link across the church property; and
ensuring that street access will be available in the future along the church's northern boundary.
Staff recommends that these elements be illustrated on the plan map for the Lindemann Hills
Neighborhood and incorporated into the Northeast District Plan by amendment.
Conditional Zoning
The church is in the beginning stages of site planning and is not ready to build. In addition, it
may be years until the surrounding land is annexed into the City for development. Staff finds
2
certain conditions necessary to ensure that the church is integrated successfully into the future
residential neighborhood that will develop around the church:
1. Dedication of the land and associated construction easements to the City for future
street connections to the NE and NW corners of the public square alona Lower West
Branch Road - Ensuring street access to all comers of the public square will help to
establish the public square as a focal point for the surrounding neighborhoods;
2. An aareement that if the church decides to develop one or both of the parcels of land
that abut the east or west sides of the square prior to construction of the connectina
streets leadina from the square bv the adiacent property owner(s). the church or any
successor in title will be responsible for constructina one or both of these street
connections to the square; The City is in the process of building the street around the
public square. The church benefits from this City project because it will then have a
good means of access to Lower West Branch Road. The street connections leading
from the comers of the square will largely benefit future residential neighborhoods
located east and west of the church, so can be required as a condition of development of
those properties. However, if the church decides to develop or sell off for development
the parcels of land east and west of the square, the church or the party to whom they
sell the properties should be responsible for constructing these necessary connections.
3. A requirement that at such time as the church property is developed. the church will be
responsible for constructina and arantina a public access easement over an a-foot wide
sidewalk extendina east-west across the center of the church property. the exact
location to be determined throuah the special exception process - this will be in lieu of
building a street to provide a means of east-west travel through the neighborhood.
4. Dedication of a 30-foot-wide strip of land alona the northern boundary of the church
property to the City for use as future public street riaht-of-wav. At such time as the this
northerlv street is constructed. the church also aarees to construct an access drive from
this street to the developed portion of the church property so that it will be possible for
users of the property to access this northerlv street - The church is likely to generate a
significant amount of traffic during special events and when services are being held. A
second means of access to the property would help to disperse traffic in a more efficient
manner. However, establishing more than one point of access for the church is not
possible at this time. To ensure that the church has at least one other means of access
in the future, staff recommends that the church dedicate land equal to half the right-of-
way width for a future street along its northern property line. Typically, a development
such as this would be responsible for constructing or contributing toward the cost of
construction of necessary streets. However, since it is unknown when the property north
of the church will be developed or when surrounding streets will be built it is impractical
to ask the church to contribute funds for construction of this northerly street at this time.
However, it should be noted that if at some time in the future the church expands at a
time when construction of this street is imminent, they may be asked through the special
exception process to share in the cost of constructing this street.
Staff Recommendations:
1. Staff recommends that the Commission set a public hearing for July 19 to consider an
amendment to the Northeast District Plan modifying the plan map for the Lindemann Hills
Neighborhood to incorporate a large institutional use into the conceptual street pattern north
of the public square along Lower West Branch Road;
3
2. Staff recommends that ANN07-00002, an application for annexation of 14 acres of property
owned by Henrietta B. Miller and approximately 1.89 acres of land owned by the City of
Iowa City located along Lower West Branch Road north of Brentwood Drive and Broadmoor
Lane, be approved; and
3. Staff recommends that REl07-00010, an application submitted by St. Patrick's Church for a
rezoning of 14 acres of property from County Residential (R) to Low Density Single Family
Residential (RS-5) located along Lower West Branch Road north of Brentwood Drive and
Broadmoor Lane be approved subject to a conditional zoning agreement with conditions as
specified in this memo dated July 12, 2007; and approval of a rezoning of approximately
1.89 acres of land owned by the City of Iowa City located along Lower West Branch Road
north of Brentwood Drive and Broadmoor Lane from County Residential (R) to
Neighborhood Public (P-1).

Subject: Comment on NE Dist Plan
Karen,
I have no idea how traditional 81. Patrick's wants to go with their architecture, but I immediately think of a town
green with adjacent church in some of the older towns in the US or Europe. Well, back up, the area where the old
S1. Patricks was, as well as many of the churches in the central planning district were built in residential areas.
The town and church communities were integrated in those times, so it was natural to have the church there. I
think such a large building in the middle of a residential area can work better than has been seen in suburban
Johnson County. A lot of places there is little or no integration between uses, residential to commercial, to
institutional. Oakdale Blvd comes to mind. I think if it use density steps up as it approaches the church, and if any
commercial areas could be placed in that same area, the feeling of a town center could be created. The problem
in the past has always been to get someone to build to the plan the city sets out. Hopefully the new design
standards will help?

I am 85 years old and am not able to attend the meeting of the Planning and Zoning
Commission regarding St. Patrick's Church. I request that this statement be presented to
the Planning and Zoning Commission. I would like to voice my concern that large
churches like this take large amounts of property off of the tax rolls. I do not think the
church needs such a large property.

Subject: Amendment to the Northeast District Plan
Dear Ms. Howard,
Thank you for placement of the article in the 7/15/07 Cedar Rapids Gazette regarding an invitation to the public to
provide feedback on the proposed amendment to the Northeast District Plan.
I have resided on Friendship Street, north of Court Street, for over twenty years; initially as a renter and currently
as a home-owner. 'My' near-neighborhood, both commercial and residential, has grown and adapted to three
major transitions over the short time that I have resided within a three-block radius on Friendship Street. The
entire North-east district is currently undergoing yet another growth and transition phase, which the forthcoming
decisions of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council will greatly effect the future development
of 'my' neighborhood on both micro- and macro-levels.
As an active member of St. Patrick's parish and a resident of the Northeast District, I strongly urge the
Commission and the Council to approve the proposed amendment(s) to the NE District Plan, hopefully in an
expeditious manner with minimal micro-managing.
The NE District Plan, originally crafted in 1998, was adequate for the District's projected growth foreseen at that
time. The proposed amendments would maintain the Plan's original principles and provide the requisite flexibility
to allow St. Patrick's Parish to move forward in our quest to find a new home and to begin construction of our
church / associated buildings in addition to establishing new roots and continuing to serve the needs of current
and future parishioners of St. Patrick's Parish. Since April 14, 2006, our parish has become a mobile parish;
transitioning masses on a daily basis between Parish Hall and Regina School, incorporating the former uses of
three buildings into one building and imaginatively utilizing our remaining resources to respond to the obligations
incumbent upon us by the Diocese. Unfortunately, it has been necessary to discontinue or indefinitely postpone
many services offered by and to our Parish until we can establish a new, permanent church. The Commission's
and the Council's approval of the proposed amendment(s) to the NE District Plan will be the initial step in moving
this process forward.
A complementary benefit to the City and surrounding neighborhoods, generated by the addition of St. Patrick's
landscaped campus to the NE District, would be the provision of additional opportunities for the residents of the
far NE District to increase their sense of community and engage in impromptu social and recreational
opportunities which were not included as part of the District's original plan. At this juncture in time, your approval
of the proposed transitioning of a traditional residential neighborhood built around a public-square to a semi-
traditional residential neighborhood built around a public-square gently buffeted by a non-intrusive, well-designed
and landscaped campus (owned and lovingly cared for by a devoted parish family) will provide the impetus for
both the NE District and the City of Iowa City to engage in previously unavailable multi-faceted opportunities for
positive development of the NE District and continued strategic growth of the City itself.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Cordially submitted,
Candy Barnhill

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, St. Patrick Church of Iowa City, is in the process of purchasing land from Rellim
Farms, LLC, with the intention of building a new church and associated facilities. This approximately
14-acre property is currently in the Scott Township, Johnson County and is being used as farmland.
The church has requested that the land be annexed into Iowa City and zoned Low Density Single
Family Residential (RS-5).
3
Rezoning
Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
The property is in Scott Township and is currently zoned County Residential- R. The property
proposed for annexation encompasses an area intended for low to high density single family
residential development. The City's Northeast District Plan calls for a grid-like street pattern that
would provide traffic circulation for surrounding residential neighborhoods and provide for efficient
delivery of public services. In addition, a public square is in the process of being constructed by the
City along this segment of Lower West.Branch Road. This public square is intended to be the focal
point with streets radiating from it to connect to the new neighborhoods in this part of the city. The
Northeast District Plan illustrates townhouse and institutional uses on properties that abut the public
square and lower density single family development in areas north of the proposed square.
Development in adjacent subdivisions to the south are a mix of single family (both attached and
detached) and low density multi-family with the higher density properties located near and
surrounding the proposed public square along Lower West Branch Road.
The concept for the public square originally came from citizens who participated in the Northeast
District Planning Process. They indicated a desire to have new neighborhoods in the Northeast
District organized around focal points rather than being a collection of unrelated subdivisions. The
development of Windsor Ridge Parts 17-20 included the south half of the square with Brentwood
Drive, Broadmoor Lane and York Place leading form it into the adjacent neighborhoods. As part of
the reconstruction of Lower West Branch Road, the north half of the square will be built by the City.
The applicant has requested Low Density Single Family Residential (RS-5) zoning. In addition to
single-family dwellings, the RS-5 Zone allows religious/private group assembly uses as a special
exception, which acknowledges that churches are a desirable and anticipated part of many
neighborhoods, provided that they are developed in a manner that is in concert with the City's
comprehensive plan, compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods, and does not impede
future development of residential uses in the area. Review and approval by the Iowa City Board of
Adjustment will be required prior to development.
While an institutional use of this size was not contemplated in this location when the vision for
Northeast District Plan was adopted, the City acknowledges that there is a trend toward larger
campus-like sites when new churches are constructed. If the new church is located in a manner that
addresses the public square, it will be a prominent feature to anchor and provide identity to this
important public space. The church is in the early stages of site planning. City staff will work with
the church to come up with an acceptable plan for integrating the church site into future plans for
residential neighborhoods that will help to achieve the vision of the Northeast District Plan.
Streets and traffic circulation:
Lower West Branch Road, a collector street, abuts the property on the south. As noted above, the
NE District Plan illustrates a grid-like street pattern with a public square as a neighborhood focal
point along this section of Lower West Branch Road. The concept plan in the district plan illustrates
that an institutional use is an appropriate use adjacent to the public square. However, the plan does
not anticipate that an institutional use would encompass a 14-acre parcel that surrounds three sides
of the square and extends nearly a quarter mile to the north. If not designed carefully, such a large
institutional use may prevent development of an adequate neighborhood street network in this area,
which may lead to inefficiencies in provision of public and emergency services and neighborhood
traffic circulation. This is particularly problematic with regard to the proposed public square. Easy
and attractive public access is necessary in establishing this public space as a focal point for the
surrounding neighborhoods. City staff is working with the church to determine an acceptable street
pattern that will meet the needs of the church and also ensure public access to the square and
provide efficient traffic circulation for future neighborhoods that surround the church. To that end, the
City has hired a land planning consultant to generate ideas for an alternative to the concept shown in

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Tyler Rogers, is requesting preliminary and final plat approval of North Forty-First,
a 3-lot residential subdivision on 3.0 acres of land. The property is located west of Kansas
Avenue SW, approximately 1'4 mile south of IWV Road SW in Union Township. The proposed
subdivision is situated within the two-mile extraterritorial area (Fringe Area C) and outside of the
City's Long-Range Growth Boundary.
The applicant recently submitted a rezoning application for the property under consideration.
Upon approval, the property for the North Forty-First Subdivision will be rezoned from County
Agricultural (A) to County Residential (R), and 3 acres of property approximately y.. mile south, will
be rezoned from R to A.
ANAL YSIS:
Frinoe Area Aoreement:
The Fringe Area Policy Agreement between Johnson County and Iowa City states, "In the portions
of Area C which are not within Iowa City's growth area and which are zoned for non-farm
development, development may occur in conformance with Johnson County's Unified
Development Ordinance and City Rural Design the Standards."
City Rural Desion Standards:
Streets:
The proposed street, Kansas Lane SW, will be a 22-foot wide chip seal street, which meets the
minimum surface width standard. The proposed right-of-way of 60 feet meets the requirement for
streets without curb and gutter.
Water Distribution:
The subdivision will be served by private water wells and septic system, which must be approved
by the County Health Department.
Due to possible expansion of the City of Iowa City Landfill, a Conditional Zoning Agreement
requires the private wells on this property to be closed if the landfill expands within 1000 feet of
the subdivision. The City would provide an alternative water source. This stipulation should be
noted in the legal papers.
Fire Ratina:
Before the plat can be approved, a fire rating must be established by the Volunteer Fire
Department. It is the responsibility of the Developer's Engineer to obtain a letter from the fire
department which serves this area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends this application be deferred until a fire rating is established. Upon resolution of
this issue, staff recommends approval of SUB07-00004, a preliminary and final plat of North
Forty-First, a 3.0-acre, three-lot residential subdivision located on the west side of Kansas Avenue
approximately y.. mile south of IWV Road SW, subject to staff approval of legal papers and
construction drawings prior to City Council consideration.

delivered by the Developer under Section 6.7 is not delivered to the City by November 1
of any year, the Developer recognizes and agrees that the City may have insufficient time
to review and approve the same and certify its request for Tax Increments to the County
and that, as a result, no Economic Development Grant may be made to the Developer in
respect thereof. The City covenants to act in good faith to appropriately review and
consider any late certification on the part of the Developer, but the City shall not be
obligated to make any certification to the County for the available Tax Increments or
make any corresponding payment of the Economic Development Grant to the Developer
if, in the reasonable judgment of the City, it is not able to give appropriate consideration
(which may include, but not be limited to, specific discussion before the City Council at a
regular City Council meeting with respect thereto) to the Developer's certification due to
its late filing. In the event Developer fails to timely file an annual statement, proof or
certificate due to an Unavoidable Delay and, as a result, an Economic Development Grant
cannot be make, Developer may give written notice to the City and, if the City finds that
Developer's failure is due to an Unavoidable Delay, the missed Economic Development
Grant shall be made in the year succeeding the last scheduled Economic Development
Grant under Section 8.1, subject to Developer's filing under Section 6.6 and all other
provisions of this Article VIII with respect to such grant, it being the intention of the
parties to allow four (4) annual Economic Development Grants if Developer is in
compliance with this Agreement.
( d) The total, aggregate amount of all Economic Development
Grants under this Agreement shall not exceed $600,000. Each Economic Development
Grant shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of all Tax Increments collected per
fiscal year in respect of the assessments imposed on the Development Property and
Minimum Improvements as of January l, 2007, and on January 1 of each of the following
four (4) years, until the total, aggregate of all such Economic Development Grants equals
no more than the sum of$600,000. The final grant shall be adjusted, if necessary, if
payment of lOO% of Tax Increments for that grant would result in total, aggregate
Economic Development Grants in an amount exceeding $600,000. Such Economic
Development Grants shall at all times be subject to termination in accordance with the
terms of this Article VIII and Article X. Thereafter, the taxes levied on the Development
Property and Minimum Improvements shall be divided and applied in accordance with the
- 13 -
Urban Renewal Act and the Ordinance. It is recognized by all parties that the total
aggregate amount set forth above is a maximum amount only and that the actual payment
amounts will be determined after the Minimum Improvements are completed and the
valuations of said Improvements have been determined by the City Assessor.
(e) In the event that any certificate filed by the Developer under Section 6.6 or
other information available to the City discloses the existence or prior occurrence of an
Event of Default that was not cured or cannot reasonably be cured under the provisions of
Section 10.2 (or an event that, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would
become an Event of Default that cannot reasonably be cured under the provisions of
Section lO.2), the City shall have no obligation thereafter to make any further payments to
the Developer in respect of the Economic Development Grants and may proceed to take
one or more of the actions described in Section 1 0.2 hereof.
Section 8.2. Source of Grant Punds Limited. (a) The Economic Development
Grants shall be payable from and secured solely and only by amounts deposited and held
in the ALPLA, INC. - Alpla TIP Account No.2 of the City. The City hereby covenants
and agrees to maintain the Ordinance in force during the term hereof and to apply the
incremental taxes collected in respect of the Minimum Improvements and allocated to the
ALPLA, INC. - Alpla TIP Account No.2 to pay the Economic Development Grants, as
and to the extent set forth in Section 8.l hereof. The Economic Development Grants shall
not be payable in any manner by other tax increment revenues or by general taxation or
from any other City funds. .
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1 hereof, the City shall have no
obligation to make an Economic Development Grant to the Developer if at any time
during the term hereof the City receives an opinion of its legal counselor a controlling
decision of an Iowa court having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof to the effect
that the use of Tax Increments resulting from the Minimum Improvements to fund an
Economic Development Grant to the Developer, as contemplated under said Section 8.l,
is not authorized or otherwise an appropriate project activity permitted to be undertaken
by the City under the Urban Renewal Act or other applicable provisions of the Code, as
then constituted. Upon receipt of such an opinion or decision, the City shall promptly
forward a copy of the same to the Developer. If the circumstances or legal constraints
giving rise to the opinion or decision continue for a period during which two (2)
Economic Development Grants would otherwise have been paid to the Developer under
the terms of Section 8.l, the City may terminate this Agreement, without penalty or other
liability to the Developer, by written notice to the Developer.
- 14 -
(c) The City makes no representation with respect to the amounts that may finally
be paid to the Developer as the Economic Development Grants, and under no
circumstances shall the City in any manner be liable to the Developer so long as the City
timely applies the Tax Increments actually collected and held in the ALPLA, INC. - Alpla
TIF Account No.2 (regardless of the amounts thereof) to the payment of the Economic
Development Grants to the Developer, as and to the extent described in this Article.

Developer with respect to the use thereof.

indemnified party or its officers, agents, servants or employees.
(d) All covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the City
contained herein shall be deemed to be the covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements

MEMORANDUM

L.1!U
Date: August 13, 2007
To: City Council
From: Wendy Ford, Economic Development Coordinator
Re: Alpla Expansion TIF agreement
Alpla, a plastic container manufacturer on Heinz Rd. in Iowa City is seeking
financial assistance for a $5 million expansion of their facility. They are
requesting a 4 year $600,000 Tax Increment Financing Rebate. Alpla is a
growing plastic bottle manufacturer in our industrial area supplying packaging to,
among others, Procter and Gamble in the same vicinity. The expansion will
enable them to do additional manufacturing and warehousing facilities as their
business grows.
In 2003, the City agreed to provide Alpla with a 5 year, $510,000 maximum TIF
rebate (including a $35,000 grant) to aid in an expansion providing an additional
86,000 square feet to the original building. In exchange, Alpla was to maintain at
least 35 full time jobs. Each year since certifying completion of the initial project,
Alpla has been in compliance with all aspects of the performance-based TIF,
providing payroll information including the annual or hourly salary of each
position. Each year, Alpla has expanded operations and added employees. Alpla
has received two of their five annual rebates. The first of the proposed new
rebates would begin the year following the final rebate of their first agreement, in
2011.
Since the initial expansion, Alpla purchased the old General Mills building on
adjacent property, expanded operations at that building and now, would like to
expand again with an 82,200 square foot addition at that location.
Alpla now employs more than 200 people full time (most permanent, some
temporary) and they will commit to maintaining at least 180 permanent full time
jobs as well as adding an additional 25 permanent full time jobs with an average
wage of at least $14.00 per hour plus benefits. (At their last report, in Nov. 2006,
the total annual payroll was in excess of $4.38 million, with an average hourly
wage of $14.43. Third quarter wage data from the Iowa Department of Economic
Development reports the average wage in Johnson County is $14.76.)
August 13, 2007
Page 2
Construction would begin in the fall of 2007 and be complete in 2008. Alpla
would certify for completion in November of 2009 and their first rebate would be
distributed in June of 2011. The final rebate would be in June of 2014, provided
they had met all performance requirements, including paying all property taxes
owed, and provided they had not reached the $600,000 maximum.
Details of the Development Agreement include the following:
. Alpla would agree not to seek Partial Industrial Property Tax Exemptions
on the new building.
. Making Minimum Improvements consisting of an 82,200 square foot
addition and increasing assessed value on Jan. 1 2009 by at least 15%
over Jan. 1,2007 assessment.
. Alpla would receive 4 annual 100% TIF rebates with a $600,000 cap.
. Alpla would agree to maintain 180 permanent full time positions at an
average of $14.00 per hour wage or above, plus benefits.
. Alpla would agree to adding 25 additional permanent full time positions at
an average of $14.00 per hour wage or above, plus benefits.
. Alpla would agree to fully cooperate with the City in the resolution of any
traffic, parking, trash removal, noise or public safety problems which may
arise in connection with the construction and operation of the Minimum
Improvements.

Re: CDBG Economic Development Funding Recommendation
Gluten Evolution LLC
Gluten Evolution LLC is a test kitchen and creator of the bread mixes, Breads from
Anna. The business started as a personal chef service in 2002 to help persons live on
a gluten free diet. Since that time the business has expanded to offer bread and pie
mixes made of gluten-free and all-natural ingredients.
The market for the mixes include those with Celiac disease, the failure of one's body to
produce the enzyme that breaks down the protein in gluten, found in wheat, barley and
rye, and others who desire all-natural ingredients. In 2004 their products became
available for sale online. Only about 5% of their products are sold to Iowa City
customers. The overwhelming majority of their products are shipped throughout the
United States. They also have an international market with shipments going to United
Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
The business is located at 1630 Willow Creek Drive, #7. Employment created by this
project will include 1.5 full-time equivalent positions for low-to-moderate income
persons. CDBG funds will be used for working capital. The Council Economic
Development Committee has recommended a $50,000 loan at 3% interest for a
maximum term of 7 years. Due to high owner commitment and investment in the
business, the owner's history of paying loan obligations, and the owner's experience
with research and development, the committee recommended funding this business
even though the loan will not be fully secured. The loan will be partially secured by a
mortgage on the personal residence of the president of the company.

MEMORANDUM
Date: August 15, 2007
To: City Council
From: Tim Weitzel, Chair, Historic Preservation Commission
Re: CLG Grant Application
I am writing to request the Council to approve the submittal of an application for a Certified Local
Government (CLG) Grant. If we receive the grant, the HPC would hire a qualified historic
preservation consultant to conduct a historic resources inventory and evaluation for the properties
in the area known as the Near Southside. This survey project is consistent with the goals set out in
the Comprehensive Plan, and will help achieve one of the objectives including the Historic
Preservation Plan and the Near Southside Redevelopment Plan. The intended products of the
project would include Iowa Site Inventory Forms and a survey report-Multiple Property Cover
Document. The report and forms will be presented to the property owners in a public
neighborhood meeting. The overall goal is to identify the historic properties worthy of preservation
and rehabilitation, and to develop tools and strategies to foster preservation. Any Individual
Landmark Designation and/or National Register Nomination based on the survey would be part of
a separate process.
The grant application is attached. If there are any questions, comments, or concerns, I plan to be in
attendance at the Council Meeting on Tuesday.

Goals
The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission (Commission) has identified as a priority the
survey and evaluation of properties in the Near Southside Area and documentation their
architectural and/or historical significance. The Commission intends to survey the properties
spread across approximately 35-40 city blocks as part this project including the 20 blocks in the
Near Southside Area (south of Burlington Street and west of Gilbert street) and approximately
15-20 additional city blocks north of Kirkwood Avenue and east of Van Buren Street. The
Survey Boundary Map outlines the specific boundaries for this project.
Located immediately to the south of the historic downtown, the Near Southside Area has been
identified as an area suitable for the expansion of Downtown Iowa City. The Near Southside
Redevelopment Plan (January 1992) set a vision for the redevelopment of the area. The
Redevelopment Plan recognizes the historic significance of the area and the need to maintain
2
the surviving historic properties in the area. The Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan adopted an
objective to survey, document and designate of the historic buildings.
Phase I intensive survey and evaluation of existing structures will provide the City of Iowa City
with facts needed to determine the level of eligibility, if any, of the remaining historic structures
that can be nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. Successful nomination to the
National Register of Historic Places provides a national honor as well the access to many state
and federal grant and loan programs that are developed specifically for historically significant
properties. Therefore, determination of eligibility is the first and important step in this process.
The Commission intends to complete a Multiple Property Documentation process as well as
individual Iowa Site Inventory Forms. This information can be used for future considerations of
individual or group local landmark designations as well as National Register nominations.
However, as per City Council directive, consultations with property owners and public meetings
are necessary for any nominations. Prior to this occurring we must first identify which properties
are potentially eligible.
Coordination
This project involves the survey and evaluation necessary prior to the preparation of the
documentation that can be used for a National Register of Historic Places Individual or Multiple
Property Designation (MPD) nomination. The Commission, following the practice used in
pervious survey projects, will hire a qualified (based on the Secretary of Interior's professional
qualifications) historic preservation consultant to carry out the research and documentation
work.
The first step, after the selection of the consultant, will include a block-by-block pedestrian
survey of the area of study to identify properties likely to be significant-eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places. The Commission will also encourage members of the community to
communicate directly with them or through Friends of Historic Preservation to indicate buildings
they regard as significant and in need of more extensive research by the consultant to
determine final eligibility. Although, the consultant would be responsible for majority of the
investigative work, volunteer support can also be sought from the interested property owners
and residents in the area to research historical documents of the properties identified for
detailed evaluation.
Members of the Historic Preservation Commission have prepared this document and will be
involved in reviewing responses to the request for proposal (RFP) for this project, selecting a
consultant to complete the work, and reviewing drafts of the nominations. The Commission will
also host neighborhood meetings to keep property owners informed about the project and to
solicit public comments.
The Commission's City staff person, an Associate Planner with the City's Department of
Planning and Community Development, will serve as project manager. It is anticipated that
approximately 30-40 hours of project management time will be required to oversee this project,
which will include tasks related to preparing the RFP, the consultant subcontract, and other
related documents, organizing neighborhood meetings, responding to questions from the public,
distributing drafts and coordinating reviews of the site forms, general project administration, and
working with the consultant to provide assistance as necessary. The use and involvement of
volunteers from the neighborhood will be at the discretion of the consultant selected to complete
the nomination. Forty to fifty hours of a City intern time will also be available to the consultant for
completing various tasks, such as property ownership information, mailings and photography,
as well as for routine tasks associated with the project manager's responsibilities.

Iowa City is fortunate to have a wide array of organizations that support local historic
preservation. These groups include the Iowa City Friends of Historic Preservation, Johnson
County Historical Society, Iowa City Public Library, Noon Lyons Club, and Englert Civic Theatre,
Inc. The principal two organizations that deal with preservation of historic buildings are the HPC
and FHP. It is not currently planned, but it may be possible to enlist the assistance of some of
these local organizations to promote the historic properties, if proposed. The Commission will
seek out volunteer assistance to aid in the completion of this project. Volunteer work was
essential in the completion of a similar project in the Melrose Neighborhood and other projects
that have involved the restoration and interpretation of Iowa City's buildings and history have
successfully utilized volunteer effort.
Members of the Commission and the consultant will present the survey results in a pUblic forum
to provide an opportunity for the landowners and residents in the survey areas to learn about
the process. All landowners and residents of properties will be presented with the information
about the historical and architectural context, significance or non-significance of the properties
surveyed. Based on the level of interest, the property owners can also be informed about the
National Register nomination process, benefits of the nomination-tax credits, loan and grant
programs available through various state and federal programs. Initial meetings will also be
used to train interested owners and residents how to research the history of their properties.
The information gathered from the owners will be added to the information to be completed in
the background research and architectural survey of these districts.
Work Products
The primary outcome of the project will be up to 30 Iowa Site Inventory Forms and final survey
report in the form of a Multiple Property Cover Document. As per the CLG Manual, the
Commission and the Consultant will provide the following work products as appropriate during
each stage of the survey project.
· Two (2) copies of a research design outlining the project activities and schedule;
· Two (2) finished sets of typed Iowa Site Inventory forms for each building, structure,
object or site (other than archaeological) recorded or updated during the project, each
form with at least one black and white photographic print enclosed in a Print-File type
plastic sleeve;
· At least one black and white photograph will be taken of each surveyed property; for
each roll of black and white film used, develop two contact sheets and one set of
negatives, to be filed in Print-File type plastic sleeves;
· Two (2) copies of any color slides on 35 mm, Kodachrome film taken for the survey;
· Two (2) typed copies of "Photograph/Catalog Field Sheet" for each roll of black and
white or color slide film;
· Three (3) draft copies of survey report; the report will follow the format of a Multiple
Property Cover Document;

D. Explain how the proposed project will help to fulfill the goals and objectives of your
local preservation plan and/or the state preservation plan. If this is part of a multi-phase
project, describe the completed project segments and/or future ones that are linked to this project
application. Each year's project must be able to stand alone. Funding of one year does not
guarantee funding of future phases.
In 1992, as part of Comprehensive Plan, Iowa City adopted the Historic Preservation Plan which
identifies several goals to be pursued concurrently. These goals include the identification of
resources significant to Iowa City's past (Goal 1), and the adoption of strategies in the
conservation of historic neighborhoods that reflect their natural development, historical roles and
traditions, modern needs, and economic health and stability (Goal 10). Such strategies include
the designation of identified historic districts as National Register and local historic districts in
order to promote public awareness of these areas and to ensure that the districts will retain their
historic character into the future.
It is significant that this area comprises some of the oldest land additions to the original town
plat. As addressed in the current Near Southside Redevelopment Plan, much of this area has
seen impacts that have negatively affected the historic integrity and architecture within this area.
Formerly a vibrant neighborhood associated mainly with people of Irish American descent, the
area now has many underdeveloped or vacant lots, especially in the block adjacent to
Burlington Street between Clinton and Dubuque Streets, and the block south of the Courthouse.
The last two structures related to the St. Patrick's parish, the rectory and the church were
demolished last year. They were badly damaged by the tornado on April 13, 2006. Most of the
long-term residents had left this neighborhood before the St. Patrick's parish hall and school
were demolished in the 1990s. Some of the magnificent residences were located in the County
Seat Addition of Iowa City.
With the completion of the Transportation Center on the corner of Dubuque Street and Court
Street, the Near Southside Area has taken the first step in the direction of redevelopment. Other
recent developments such as the completion of Plaza Towers-a high-rise mixed-use
residential and commercial building north of Burlington Street, approval for a similar high-rise
building on Clinton Street south of Burlington Street, and the redevelopment potential in the
wake of the tornado, have created a strong level of interest for redevelopment. While this can
provide an important opportunity, there is a possibility that important historic resources will be
ignored in the process. As stated in the Redevelopment Plan, priority consideration should be
given to the preservation of the significant historic resources and the option of providing
financial incentives for maintaining and/or rehabilitating should be studied. In addition, it is
essential to create and maintain a harmonious built environment as new buildings are
constructed near to the buildings determined to be historically significant.
Preservation of historically and architecturally significant properties will economically benefit the
community. The National Trust for Historic Preservation reports that $1 million spent on
rehabilitation will create more jobs and keep more money in the local economy than the same
$1 million spent on new construction. Moreover, maintaining a community's sense of place
provides many tangible and intangible benefits. For example, a recent travel industry survey
found that more than 40% of Americans visit a historic place or community while on vacation.
These people spent nearly 40% more than the typical traveler did.1 The ongoing revision of the
Preservation Plan addresses some of the issues related to heritage tourism. Completing an

inventory of significant buildings will help identify key structures that could contribute to heritage
tourism as well as redeveloping a livable neighborhood in the Near Southside Area. With the
successful completion of this project one of the goals listed in the 1992 Historic Preservation
Plan will be met. Completion of this project is also expected to meet other goals that are part of
the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan.
E. Past grant contract performance
Specifically address the success or challenges faced in carrying out the requirements of
your past CLG grant projects. DO NOT LEAVE THIS SECTION BLANK.
This section gives the applicant an opportunity to dispel any fears on the part of the
review panel or Board that past problems will hinder this new effort. Simply explain.
what steps have been taken to insure project success. if a past project was cancelled,
please address the specific circumstances of that cancellation. if all previous eLG
grants have been successfully completed, please state this and discuss the factors that
have contributed to your success.
if you have never received a eLG grant, assess your commission's performance since
being certified, using specific instances to make your points. Describe how undertaking
this project will strengthen and enhance commission performance.
The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission has a long record of completing grant
programs successfully. In 1983, a CLG grant was awarded to establish a preservation library in
the Iowa City Planning and Community Development department. The materials are accessible
to the public, Planning Department staff, and members of the Commission. The library is still in
operation and is continuously updated. A 1988 grant allowed the Commission to compile and
print a Guide to Historic Iowa City, creating an awareness of local historic buildings and
neighborhoods. Because of the local demand for these "guide maps," a second printing was
funded by private donations. Over 15,000 copies of the map were printed, and the Commission
is currently planning to produce a revised map. In 1990, the HRDP program provided a $25,000
grant to assist in the preparation of the Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan, from which the
current project has been prioritized. The plan has been instrumental in guiding preservation
initiatives in Iowa City. A 1992 CLG grant resulted in the listing of the Brown Street Historic
District in the National Register. The district has also been designated as a local district. A 1995
CLG grant funded a survey of the Dubuque/Linn Street corridor, which recommended the
designation of a conservation district and a number of individual local historic landmarks within
this area. The remainder of the North Side and adjacent Goosetown neighborhoods were
surveyed in three phases. The first phase was funded by a 1996 CLG grant, the second phase
was assisted by a 1997 HRDP grant, and the third phase was funded by a 1999 CLG grant. A
1993 CLG grant made possible a survey of the College Hill neighborhood, which resulted in the
local and National Register designation of the College Green and East College Street Historic
Districts. A 1995 HRDP grant funded the National Register nominations for these two districts,
which were listed in 1997. An HRDP grant in 1994 and a CLG grant in 1997 funded a survey of
the Longfellow neighborhood, which was designated an Iowa City Historic District in 2002. In
addition to these state-funded surveys, the City of Iowa City funded a survey of the downtown
Iowa City commercial district, completed in 2001. In 2003-2004, the Commission revised the
Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook, a 73-page document that describes the design
7
review process, lists local districts, landmarks and specific guidelines, which are based upon
and refer back to the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for Historic Preservation. The
Commission refers to National Park Service technical briefs and National Trust information as
needed, has sought to maintain a membership containing expertise in architectural history,
history, archaeology, and historically sensitive construction and renovation.
Currently, the City of Iowa City is using a REAP/HRDP Grant to revise and update the Iowa City
Historic Preservation Plan, and is in the final stages of the project. Draft of the Plan is being
printed for public review and Public Hearings schedule is being finalized.
The City of Iowa City and its Historic Preservation Commission have a proven record of
following the City's Historic Preservation Plan, completing grant-funded projects and
implementing the recommendations of its surveys for legislation and historic districting. Previous
grant-funded projects have helped improve the image of, and support for, historic preservation
in Iowa City. It is hoped that the current momentum and community interest coupled with grant
funds will allow us to collect the necessary data to support additional historic district,
conservation district, and/or historic landmark designations to protect the older threatened
neighborhoods in Iowa City and leave a valuable legacy for future generations.

Re: Old Highway 218 Water Main Extension Project Summary
The Old Highway 218 Water Main Extension Project involves the extension of
approximately 7,000 linear feet of 12" water main on the south side of town. The
project starts at the existing end location just north of the southern intersection of
Old Hwy 218 and South Riverside Drive. (South of Mormon Trek Blvd, in front of
Hubbard Feeds) It continues along the east side of Old Hwy 218, between the
roadway and CRANDIC Railroad to Oak Crest Hill Road. It then follows Oak
Crest Hill Road along the east side of the roadway to Izaak Walton Road where it
will continue along the north side of Izaak Walton Road to the City limits.
This project will supply water service to a new industrial site at the intersection of
Oak Crest Hill Road and Izaak Walton Rd. The new industry, owned by County
Materials Corporation, will manufacture concrete pipe at this proposed location
within the City limits. The project would also allow properties within the 7,000
foot extension area the prospect to connect to city water.
Construction of the proposed water main extension is estimated at $660,000 and
will be paid for with water revenues. The current schedule is as follows:

Bid Date
Construction
8/21/2007

9/18/2007
10/9/2007

Property acquisition will involve crossing permits from CRANDIC Railroad and if
desired by Croell Redi Mix, a permanent easement for a hydrant and future water
main connection. Discussions are still underway with Croell Redi Mix. If they are
not interested in granting an easement, it will not be included in this project.

necessary to complete such cure.
If the City determines that a violation or breach of this agreement or codes or ordinances
lawfully regulating the Network in the operation of its facilities is an immediate danger to public
health, safety or welfare and requires immediate action, the City may provide written notice of
said determination to Network and immediately remedy the default by doing the act itself, or

remaining provisions of this agreement or their validity or legality and this agreement in all
other respects shall continue in full force and effect as if said provision or provisions had not
been so adjudged invalid or illegal, or such change had not been directed. At the City's option,
and upon a court's ruling of invalidity or illegality, the City may cause this agreement to be
terminated.
SECTION 15. ASSIGNMENT

City will not, by ordinance or otherwise, vacate any street, alley or public property in which the
Network has installed its facilities without reserving such rights as necessary to allow continued

MEMORANDUM
~
....2l-I
Date: August 13, 2007
From:
City Council
Eleanor Dilkes, City Attorney
'1W~
To:
Re: Charitable Giving Payroll Deductions by City Employees
On your Council agenda of August 21, there is a resolution repealing the City's existing policy
for payroll deductions by City employees to charitable organizations and adopting a new policy.
The current policy is attached. The policy adopted by the Council in 1997 required that one of
the conditions for authorizing a payroll deduction was that the charitable organization or the
agencies or organizations to which the charitable organization provides funds, provide all or
substantially all of the organizations' services to individuals and/or families in Johnson County,
Iowa. In 2006 the Iowa legislature adopted Iowa Code Section 70A.15A. That section does not
require a city to authorize payroll deductions for charitable giving, but states that if a city
authorizes such deductions it must provide the opportunity for an employee to authorize a
payroll deduction for payment to any "eligible charitable organization" as defined in that section.
An "eligible charitable organization" is a federation that meets six conditions, including the
condition that the federation represent at least 10 health and human services, social welfare, or
environmental agencies or associations that are located in the state. Therefore, if the City
desires to continue authorizing payroll deductions for United Way, it must continue to do so for
other such eligible charitable organizations. One of these organizations is Iowa Shares. It is my
understanding from staff's discussions with the University and school district that there is also a
federation that meets the qualifications that is called Community Health Charities.
Our current arrangement with United Way is to distribute United Way's materials to City
employees and collect pledge sheets once each year. In addition to deductions from wages a
City employee may convert between 3 and 24 hours of vacation pay to donate to United Way. In
my opinion, this vacation pay is a payroll deduction covered by Section 70A.15A of the Code
and must be offered to employees who wish to contribute to other eligible charitable
organizations if the City continues to offer the opportunity for United Way. Finally, while the
State Code section addresses only the payroll deductions and does not require a city to engage
in any fund raising activity, the proposed policy does provide that the City will distribute the
information of such eligible charitable organizations once a year as it does for United Way.

RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY FOR

WHEREAS, the City wishes to establish an administrative policy which is objective,
reasonable, and neutral to govern payroll deductions by all charitable organizations in order

WHEREAS, the purpose of establishing restrictions on charitable payroll deductions is for
administrative efficiency and to minimize disruption in the work place.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY,
IOWA, that:
1 . It is in the public interest to adopt an objective policy that applies to all charitable
organizations, so as to create an even playing field for soliciting employee payroll

2. The City Council hereby finds the attached Administrative Policy for Charitable Payroll
Deductions to be in conformance with federal constitutional guidelines, is appropriate
for adoption by this City Council, and is hereby approved and adopted as to both form
and content.

2 as the Custodian of the Records of that Department shall be the Custodian of the

telephone requests should include the name, address, and telephone number of the
person requesting the information. A person shall not be required to explain why the

5. Response. Access to a public record shall be provided promptly upon request unless
the size or nature of the request makes prompt access infeasible. Absent unusual
circumstances, access shall be provided within five (5) working days from the date the
request is received by the Custodian. If the size or nature of the request for access to a
record requires time for compliance, the Custodian shall comply with the request as
soon as feasible. Access to a record may be delayed for one of the purposes authorized
by Iowa Code section 22.8(4) or 22.10(4) (2007), as amended. The Custodian shall
promptly give notice to the requestor of the reason for any delay in access to a public
record and an estimate of the length of that delay and, upon request, shall promptly
provide that notice to the requestor in writing.
6. Denial. The Custodian may deny access to the record only on the grounds that such a
denial is warranted under by Iowa Code section 22.8(4) or 22.10(4) (2005), as amended,
or that it is a confidential record, or that its disclosure is prohibited by a court order, or
other applicable law,
7, Security of record. No person may, without permission from the Custodian, search or

or a part of the estimated fee. When a requestor has previously failed to pay a fee
chargeable under this policy, the Custodian may require advance payment of the full
amount of any estimated fee before the Custodian processes a new request from that
requestor. Each department is responsible for collecting any applicable fee and
providing an appropriate receipt.
2
Overtime. If the services requested cannot be completed during regular office hours, a
person may request that work be completed after hours. The charge will be the actual
overtime paid to the person providing the assistance. The decision to authorize overtime
shall be made by the Department Director or Supervisor, and there is no guarantee that
the records will be provided in the time requested.
Certified Copies. Certified copies of public documents in the City Clerk's office may be
made only at the time the photocopy is made by the City Clerk.
Electronic Data. The City is not required under Chapter 22 to provide the public with
access to City software, but must allow access to records that are combined with its data
processing software. If it is necessary to separate the record from the software to
provide access, the City shall bear the cost of the separation. After the record has been
separated, any additional fees (e.g., photocopying) shall be as provided in Paragraph 7
below. If the person requests that the record be specially processed, the fee for doing
so shall be assessed in quarter-hour intervals at the rate of $11,00 per quarter-hour.
9, Confidential Records.
a. Basis. The Custodian may treat a record as a confidential record and withhold it
from examination only to the extent that the Custodian is authorized by Iowa
Code section 22.7 (2007), as amended, another applicable provision of law, or
court order to refuse to disclose that record to members of the public. In the
event that the request is not sufficiently definite to determine whether confidential
documents are included, the City Attorney, or designee, will need to review the
documents, and the fee for said review is listed in Paragraph 8 above.
b, Access to Confidential Records. Under Iowa Code section 22.7 (2007), as
amended, or other applicable provision of law, the Custodian may disclose
certain confidential records to one or more members of the public. In requesting
the Custodian to permit the examination and copying of such a confidential
record, the following procedures apply and are in addition to those specified for
request for access to records provided above.
(1) Proof of identitv. The Custodian may require the person requesting the
confidential record to provide proof of identity or authority to secure
access to the record.
(2) Requests. The Custodian may require a request to examine and copy a
confidential record to be in writing, A person requesting access to such a
record may be required to sign a certified statement or affidavit
enumerating the specific reasons justifying access to the confidential
record and to provide any proof deemed necessary by the Custodian to
establish relevant facts.
c. Request denied. When the Custodian denies a request for access to a
confidential record, the Custodian shall promptly notify the requestor. If the
requestor indicates to the Custodian that a written notification of the denial is
desired, the Custodian shall promptly provide such a notification that is signed by
the Custodian and that includes:
3
(1) The name and title or position of the Custodian responsible for the denial;
and
(2) A citation to the provision of the law vesting authority in the Custodian to
deny disclosure of the record and a brief statement of the reason for the
denial to the requestor.
d. Request qranted. When the Custodian grants a request for access to a
confidential record to a particular person, the Custodian shall state any lawful
restrictions imposed by the Custodian on that person's examination and copying
of the record.
e. Request that record be treated as confidential record. A request that a record be
treated as a confidential record and withheld from public inspection shall be in
writing if the Custodian so requests. The request shall set forth the legal and
factual basis justifying the request and the name, address, and telephone
number of a person authorized to respond to any inquiry or action of the
Custodian concerning the request. Failure to make such a request does not
preclude the Custodian from treating it as a confidential record. If the request is
denied, the Custodian shall notify the requestor of the determination and the
reasons therefore. On application by the requestor, the Custodian may engage
in a good faith, reasonable delay in allowing examination of the record so that the
requestor may seek injunctive relief under Iowa Code section 22.8 (2005), as
amended, or other applicable law. The Custodian shall notify requestor in writing
of the time period allowed to seek injunctive relief.
f. Third Party, A person who is the subject of a confidential record may request
that the record be disclosed to a third party. Said request must be in writing and
must identity the particular record or records that may be disclosed, and the
particular person or class of persons to whom the record may be disclosed.
Such request does not require the disclosure of the record by the Custodian.
Appearance of counsel on behalf of a person who is the subject of a confidential
record is deemed to constitute consent for the City to disclose records about that
person to the person's attorney.
10. Redaction of a Record. The Custodian may redact from a record any information that is
confidential under state or federal law, such as a Social Security Number.
11, Creation of a Record. If the Custodian determines that it may be more feasible,
economical, or otherwise reasonable that a response to a request may be better met by
the creation of a record, such as a report or a document that does not presently exist,
and that would be produced as a result of research or analysis, the Custodian may, but
will not be required, to notify the requestor of that determination. The Custodian may
advise the requestor of the actual cost of creating and providing such document that
does not currently exist. The Custodian and the requester may in such instance, but will
not be required to, agree to approve such document in exchange for the actual cost in
lieu of providing access to the records originally requested. In absence of such
agreement, records will be made available as provided in this policy.

initiate, execute and accept public improvement contracts where the estimated total cost
does not exceed $100,000 and to authorize the City manager to execute contracts for
