Item No. 12
CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORD. #2238 BY CHANGING THE USE
REGULATIONS OF CERTAIN PROPERTY FROM COUNTY CH TO CITY CH ZONE (as
7
requested by Barker Dev. Co.) (passed and adopted).
Comment:
Barker and Barker Development Company had submitted a request to rezone
a 2.7-acre tract of land located west of Highway 1 and Dane's Dairy
and contiguous to the south City limits to a CH Zone. The Planning and
Zoning Commission at a regular meeting held on August 4, 1977, recommended
by a 3-2 vote', of an application to rezone this parcel to a CH Zone. This
recommendation was not consistent with the Staff's recommendation presented
in a Staff Report dated August 4, 1977, and was furnished with the agenda
of August 16, 1977.: Essentially, the Staff had recommended that, the site
be rezoned to a more restrictive commercial zone for philosophical reasons
stated in the report including:
(1) the negative impact a more intensive commercial use might have on
abutting land zoned residential, and
(2) a concern in the dispersement of such uses permitted in the CH Zone
throughout the City than in condensed areas within; appropriate
locations in the community.

Item No 13
CONSIDER A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF BARKER'S FIRST
7/
ADDITION. S-7730.
Comment:
The Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular meeting held on August 18,
1977, recommended by a 6-0 vote approval of; the subject subdivision
located west of Highway l and west of Dane's Dairy and contiguous to the
'south City Limits, with;the following contingencies';to be resolved before
final plat approval:
(1) that the provisions of the Storm Water Management Ordinance be met;
and
d b , i
(2) that the eveloper will su mit an agreement m t not tobuild on the
50x100 foot triangle in the southeast corner of Lot 4, that this
triangle will not be used to compute the Storm WaterDetention area
for'Lot 4, and that the applicant will not build on Lot 4 for a'period
of ,three 'years.
This is essentially the same recommendation that was presented in a Staff
Report dated August 4, 1977,, and was furnished with the agenda of, August 16,
1977. Staff is concerned' about the reservation of. the "triangle" for °a
future frontage road but, also felt it was the subdivider's obligation as
part of the subdivision to construct said road. The subdivider, Barker and
Barker Development Company, has now revised the plat to reserve the
triangle both for a frontage road and a''Storm Water Detention site which
is agreeable to the staff. Unless the Council deems it appropriate for
the subdivider to provide for paving of the frontage road, the plat is now
ready for approval.

Item No. 14
CONSIDER`A'RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE, PRELIMINARY PLAT OF BRYN MAWR HEIGHTS,
PARi' II.- S-7745
Comment:
The Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular meeting held on October 20,
1977, recommended by a 3-2 vote approval of the subject subdivision
subject to the following contingencies:
(1) that curve data be provided,
(2) that the lots be fully dimensioned;
(3) that the 6" intergral curve be indicated in the cross section drawing,
(4) that all easments be labeled,
(5) that the legal'; description be corrected, and
(6) that a north -south walkway be provided from Ealing to Wrexham Drive
located approximately mid -way east -west in the proposed development.
This recommendation was not consistent with the staff's recommendation
presented in a Staff Report dated October 20, 1977, which was attached to
the Council agenda of November 1, 1977, because the subdivision included
two long ;continuous 'streets over 1000 feet in length which is highly
undesirable i n residential development regard to safety considerations
. p in 9
and sense of -neighborhood unity. The two negative votes by the Planning and
Zoning Commissionwere for this reason. The applicant's engineer had
submitted,a revised subdivision with`a different street layout which met
with the staff's approval. The applicant, however, is opposed to the:
revised layout and proposed some slight modifications to the original lay-
out to present to the;Council for consideration. Even with the modifications:
however,';there may be some question as to whether the plat would have to
be referred back to;the Planning and Zoning Commission for their
consideration in ,light of the City Attorney's opinion' regarding a sub-
stantialchange to a plat. ',This item has been placed on the Council` agenda
for further review and discussion at the applicant's request for
resolution of the constraints indicated.

Item No. 15,
CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN AMENDMENT TO THE BRIDGE
DESIGN CONTRACT DATED JUNE 14, 1977,`
/
Comment:
The initial desig1n contract with the consultant did not list design fees
since the scope; of the work was so totally unknown. This amendment
provides design fees for the Court and Muscatine Street bridge, the
Governor Street bridge, and ,the Iowa Avenue bridge. As per, Council direction
a', public hearing will be held on the Court and Muscatine bridge early,'
in January and the consultant will not be authorized to start work until
Council gives direction. This point is clearly stated in the, next, to
the last, paragraph of the contract amendment. It is necessary to start
the consultant on the other projects to ensure timely completion this
spring and summer.
