The contract between the city and the Dey Corporation must insure adequate pedestrian access from the ramp to the library. Considerations A. It is evident from the December 13 meeting that it is unlikely that the ramp will be moved from its proposed position on south half of Block 64. There are many good reasons why it is there: original proposal para- meters set by the city; traffic patterns; siting of the hotel in relation to the plaza, etc. B. The Dey Corporation may not get possession of land until August, 1979. By that time, if we're on schedule, the library will be in late planning or early construction. Therefore, the Board must seek protection against the possibility of a design that could be detrimental to full utilization of the new library. C. Continuing discussion between our architect and the architect for the Dey Corporation is essential and will be pursued. 2. Short-term parking on Linn Street must be insured. Considerations A. Some short-term parking near the library is essential. Users studies show that 20% of people entering the build- ing stay 15 minutes or less; 39% stay 30 minutes or less; only 10% stay one hour or longer.

To reconsider and defer action taken on V-7712, application submitted by Iowa State Bank and Trust Company, until the next Board of Adjustment meeting. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN: Chairman Goedken called the meeting to order and stated that the minutes of the November 9th meeting would be considered at the next Board of Adjustment meeting. V-7715. Public hearing o Company for a variance to Northwood Drive as an off tted by Merlin Hamm Construction Tom Lyon, attorney representing the Merlin Hamm Construction Company, urged approval of the variance request and stated that a maintenance agreement had been drawn which had the mutual consent of all parties involved. Due to time constraints, the signature of one spouse was still needed, he said. Lyon thought the agreement resolved all the concerns of those who spoke at the last Board meeting. David Poula, attorney speaking for seven neighbors in the subject area, stated that there was neither objection to nor support of the variance however, the concerns expressed about the maintenance agreement had been satisfactorily resolved. A motion was made by Fowles, seconded by Conlin, to designate Northwood Drive as an officially approved place for the existing lot (and not for the further resubdivision of the lots) subject to the maintenance agreement. A vote was taken: Conlin -yes; Fowles -yes; Goedken-yes. The variance was granted. Gocdken requested that the Staff obtain a copy of the signed maintenance agreement. V-7714. Public hearing on an application submitted by W.

She noted that the City Council did have a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to the time the public hearing was held.

Board members noted that the the City Council acted out of order," Conlin question was not when the notice should have been published, but when the public hearing could be heldWashburn thought an interpretation about the legality of when the public hearing could be held might invalidate the Moratorium Ordinance. Angie Ryan pointed out that a motion is effective immediately but it takes more time for a resolution or an ordinance to become effective. Kushnir said the Legal Staff was of the opinion that Section 8.10.32D was not applicable to the Moratorium Ordinance. Washburn noted that the appeal was filed to re-evaluate the Building Inspector's issuance of a building Permit, not to appeal the enactment of the Moratorium Ordinance. Board members discussed in detail whether the proposed building would have the proper setback from Church and Gilbert Streets, Because the previous building was torn down, there was no wa owever it always been our interpretation that�theebuildingthebW havesaid. inS deterck mining the established setback.

Fowles suggested that before buildings are demolished, the setback should he determined and recorded. Board members debated whether the setback of the demolished building must be taken into consideration in determining sctbuck of the proposed building. Ryan thought a 20' front yard setback is not realistic in older neighborhoods. If every house with a front yard less than 20' is non -conforming, then Section 8.10.23 of the Zoning Ordinance would not allow any new structure to have a front yard less than 20', she said. Conlin stated that Section 8.10.23.C.3(a) referred to Gilbert Street, and Section 8.10.23.C.3(c) referred to Church Street. Goedken said, "When speaking of 4016 lot coverage, I am considering it to mean the whole lot concept, not just the measurements of the building." Siders said the "all important question" was whether or not the house that was demolished must be considered in determining front yard setback. Schmeiser told the Board that once there is more than a 10' differential, it takes the matter out of Section 8.10.23.C.3(a) and puts it into Section 8.10.23.C.3(c). Goedken noted 11 that because the measurement of the building which was torn down is unknown, and,, therefore, apply consider the sthe gaverage," three buildings which onlytimeaSection 8ve less h10.231C.3(c)fwould lbe applied to Gilbert Street is if one of the three remaining buildings has greater than a 10' differential, Goedken said. The City is trying to get down to an average of those setbacks, he said. Goedken didn't believe it was the City's intent to have a "staggered line" for front yard setback. Fowles said she didn't think the building that was torn down should move the setback. Siders noted that the average setback only applies to corner lots. The intent, Goedken said, is to "come down to a mean average." Goedken said he thought there should be "some off-street screening." James Harris, 219 Ronalds, asked if screening was suggested in relation to the parking. Goedken said he interpreted an alley to be more than a private drive. Even though an alley affords only a secondary means of access to abutting property, it is a public thoroughfare and should be screened, he said. "An alley is more public than a private drive," Conlin said. Siders said a distinction must be made between a driveway and an aisle. "Parking comes right off the alley," Goedken said, "and an alley involves public view and should be screened." Fowles agreed that the alley should be screened. By definition, an alley is a public thoroughfare which has secondary access. The Tree Ordinance doesn't specifically say anything about means of access, she said. Conlin noted that the Board had recommended at an earlier meeting that some amendments be made to the Tree Ordinance. Goedken termed the Ordinance a "weak Ordinance which needs to be updated and revised." Washburn stated that the appellants believe that the provisions for landscaped aisles and islands between parking areas and buildings should apply to buildings on adjacent property. Goedken noted that Section 8.10.40.8 of the Tree Regulations makes no reference to identifying the location of buildings on adjacent property. Kushnir stated that the Board could modify, affirm, or revoke the building permit issued. Schmeiser questioned whether the Board could actually revoke a building permit. Recalling a letter from City Attorney John Hayek, Schmeiser said the M:CR01 I L1410 BY JURM M.ICR¢LAB (J DAR RAPIDS • DFS 1401U[S -4 - Board has the power to interpret but not to revoke a building permit. Kushnir thought the Board had the power to overturn the Building Inspector's decision and revoke the permit. The Ordinance that is the most restrictive prevails, Kushnir said, and in this particular case the Zoning Ordinance is the most restrictive. A motion was made by Conlin, secondod by Goedken, to approve the issuance of the building permit with the stipulation that screening provisions and the requirements of the Tree Regulations be met. Goedken noted that the Board was not getting into the engineering aspects of how the permit could apply, but to merely approve the issuance of the permit with modifications that Schintler Brothers comply with the Tree Ordinance and the screening requirements set forth by the Zoning Ordinance. A vote was taken: Conlin -yes; Fowles -no; Goedken-yes. Considerable discussion followed as to whether the motion passed or failed. Kushnir said the motion passed. "In order to revoke the Building Inspector's interpretation (for the issuance of the building permit), there would have to be three affirmative votes. However, three votes are not needed to modify (the Interpretation).,, Schmeiser said this was contrary to past Board actions and Pointed out that the Legal Staff had advised the Board that three affirmative votes were necessary to pass a motion. Kushnir thought it would depend on what kind of application had been submitted. A variance application would need three affirmative votes, he said, but only two are necessary to overturn an action or modify a decision. Fowles agreed with Schmeiser and argued that the vote did not carry. She suggested the possibility of another motion to clarify the intent of the Board. Theermit was not legally conform to requirements of the Tree Ordinance and screening provif it isionstestablished inethe Zoning Ordinance, she said. The Board is now asking for a modification and the motion was incorrectly stated. Goedken said he thought he voted for the building permit to stand, only with modifications. In that case, Fowles said, a new motion is necessary to clarify the intent because the permit could not be "legal" unless all the requirements of the Tree Ordinance and the Zoning Ordinance had been met with the initial application for the permit. Sanderson thought Schintler Brothers should be given an opportunity to amend their application to comply with the Zoning Ordinance if it is found not to comply with the Zoning Ordinance. Kushnir recommended that the Board take action to clarify their intent. A property owner in the subject area (name unknown) stated that neighbors in the area "were looking for flaws and weaknesses" so construction such as the proposed 15 -unit apartment building could be reduced or eliminated and the neighborhood could be preserved as much as possible. A motion was made by Fowles, seconded by Goedken, to reaffirm the Board's intent Of the previous motion by stating the following: that the building permit issued to Schintler Brothers be modified so that the provisions of the Tree Ordinance and the screening of the alley and Gilbert Street should be made to comply with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. M CPOI 1LK0 BY JURM MICROLAB EIOAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES A vote was taken: Conlin -yes; Fowles -yes; Goedken-yes. The motion carried. Schmeiser noted that the applicants for a variance from Iowa State Bank and Trust Company asked for a reconsideration of Board action because they were inadvertently not informed of the November 9th Board of Adjustment meeting. A motion was made by Conlin, seconded by Fowles, to reconsider action taken on November 9, 1977 regarding V-7712, application for a variance submitted by Iowa State Bank and Trust Company.

She explained that this document is made up basically of 3 different sectio and ns: (1) a needs statement identifying unmet housing of low moderate income families in Iowa City and categorizing the quality of the existing housing stock, (2) goals for the current application year, as well as projected goals for a three year period, and (3) a map identifying areas of the City where new construction site where there are enough of apartment complexes might best be absorbed: that is schools, utilities, and services to meet the needs of new housing development. Ms. Vann explained that the Housing Commission is responsible for reviewing the Housing Assistance Plan for the City Council , but that since it was a part of the CDBG application, she wanted to make sure chance to review it and ask questions.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL The Resources Conservation Commission recommends that the City Council establish the FY79 General Fund Budget at $2,000 for municipal building energy audit; $16,000 for staff; $5,000 for office supplies. The RCC recommends that the City Council approve the hiring of a Resources Engineer with 2-5 years experience, holding an EIT (Engineering - in -Training) certificate, to be paid in the $14,000-$25,000 range. REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION FROM THE CITY MANAGER The RCC would like information from the City Manager concerning "if, where, and how much" funding is available from the City General Fund or Federal Revenues for the FY78 General Fund Budget for resources conservation. The Commissions priority for funding is, first of all, for the Model Energy Code Education and Application, and secondly for the Municipal Building Energy Audit.

The sign out front saysl "Air Collectors, Water Collectors, Greenhouses and Food Dryers". Out in the yard sits a solar food dryer and on the garage wall on the south side a San Luis Valley Vertical Forced Air Collector. Inside the visitor can make out the outlines of a growing resource center. One corner is the library containing many specialized books, magazines and publications on Various types of alternative technology) Wood, wind, bio -fuels and of course solar. One wall is filled with various drawings and resource materials on energy programs. A 4X8 peice of plywood doubles as a screen for the large number of elides on Alternative Energy and a book of snapshots is available to those just "interested in looking". There's a black notebook filled with brochures for Solar Companies around Iowa as well as other parts of the county. Half the room is taken up by couches and general discussion area. Every Monday night at 6100 the Solar Energy Class meets there to discuss and learn about alternative technology. On a sunny day the visitor can see the fan that blows air through the collector to heat the garage - and they can feel the air coming out of the hole in the wall and see the temperature on the thermostat that hangs there. A little time and a little searching can turn up plans for just about any type of alternative energy project for the do-it-yourselfer. The Center is small but growing and it needs a lot of work. First project is to get it insulated so that it can begin to hold the heat that the solar collector provides. As soon as the renovation work is completed the Center will open officially on a regular basis to irovide a much needed service to the citizens of Iowa City and t's surrounding areas.

To educate the public at large in the the Construc- tion and use of low cost solar collectos. Area to be Served, The Citizens of Johnson County. Background, Collector workshops have been held in many areae of the United States. Iowa is far behind most areas in it's promotion of low cost, alternative technology. I have personally attended San Luis Valley Collector Workshops in Kansas, Colorado, and Califonia. I know personally of other like projects taking place in Missouri and New Mexico. I have co -led two such workshops in Kansas where I worked this past summer as a VISTA Volunteer, and I held one at the LINK Fair September 18, in the Black Hawk Mini Park upon my return to Iowa City. The Collector built at that workshop is now the heating system for the Great Plains Revolutionary Energy Center. The origination of the San Luis Valley Collector was in the San Luis Valley in Colorado an area of approxi- mately 75 square miles. Sitting high in the mountains, off the the people iofr hes San dLuis kValley were in ssome lof thefirstto fel thef costseforcedeanreconomicallycrisis.Rundeisinve opedfuelaareaetond ifind their own solution. The San Luis Valley Vertical Forced Air Collector is the result of that effort. As of May Of 1977 there were over 75 such collectors installed in that 75 square mile area. The basic simplicity of the collector, which makes it easy to build, easy to adapt, and easy to install, also makes it readily acceptable to most persons.

Boothroy indicated to the Commission that, R!CROI IIITE) BY JORM MICR+LAB fWAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES i Iowa City Planning $ Zoning Commission December 1, 1977 Page 3 if in fact, the entire 40 -acre tract were to be purchased by the City, the need for extending 7th Avenue was questionable but, he stated, if for some reason the City doesn't purchase said tract or only a portion thereof, the need for extending 7th Avenue would be unquestionable. Further, he stated the approved preliminary plat provided two alternative locations for 7th Avenue, either as a cul-de-sac or stubbed out to the Regina property. Blum questioned whether or not requiring the continuation of 7th Avenue would be substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plats because this alternative location was shown with dashed lines. Boothroy stated, in his opinion, that both locations were clearly denoted on the preliminary plat and that both the cul-de-sac for 7th Avenue and the alternative continuation of 7th Avenue were possibilities contemplated by the Staff. The Commission requested the Legal staff's opinion as to whether or not both alternatives were included with the approval of the preliminary plat and if requiring the extension of 7th Avenue would be in substantial compliance with the plat approved. Tim Brandt, representing the Iowa City Catholic School Board, appeared before the Commission to state the board's position. He stated that the Iowa City Catholic School Board was definitely opposed to relinquishing the property. He further stated that the acquisition of this property would limit the expansion of facilities for any use. He emphasized that Regina does not want to put any restrictions on the developer but that they are concerned about the change in the topography of the area. Mr. Brandt stated that no agreement has been reached between Regina and the developer regarding the sanitary sewer easement unless the two attorneys have gotten together recently and reached an agreement. He restated the School Board's position that they would not relinquish the property unless condemnation proceedings required them to do so. Blum stated that he could see no solution to the problem except a deferral and the possibility of scheduling a special meeting for further consideration of the matter. It was moved by Blum, seconded by Vetter, to defer this to a formal meeting to be held next Tuesday, December 6, prior to a special meeting being held on that day. The motion carried unanimously. Review of a policy study concerning subdivisions in the City's extra -territorial jurisdiction. The consensus of the Commission members was to delete the 400 foot and 500 foot mandatory connection requirement and that with regard to the enforcement of Section 6 the developer will be responsible for having the street system approved by a registered professional engineer.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN: Chairperson Cain called the meeting to order and explained that this special meeting was being held to review the final plat of Windsor Heights Addition, Part V. Doug Boothroy, Assistant Planner, explained that this item had been deferred at the previous meeting for a legal opinion as to whether requiring the extension of 7th Avenue north to the north boundary line of the subdivision would be an action consistent or in substantial compliance with the preliminary plat which was approved. Bob Bowlin, Assistant City Attorney, stated that the legal staff had reviewed the preliminary plat of the subject subdivision. He indicated that the plat clearly denoted the alternative extension of 7th Avenue as opposed to its termination and felt that the Commission could impose either of the two alternatives for the 7th Avenue alignment upon consideration of the final plat. Cain stated that she did not feel the Commission was in a position to recommend either alternative, but to recommend to the Council the options available; i.e., if the Regina property is purchased by the City, 7th Avenue could then be terminated or if the City did not purchase the Regina property, 7th Avenue be extended to the boundary line. Cain also asked if an easement had been acquired for the extension of a sanitary sewer across a portion of the Regina property. Don Hoy, attorney for Pat Harding Construction Company, stated that the acquisition of an easement did not present a problem because they had the alternative of extending the sanitary sewer on their own property. IA;L110f ILMED BY JORM MICR(�LAB UDNI PANDS - DIS MOINES o i Planning and Zoning Commission December 6, 1977 Page 2 Cain noted that the Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission was invited to attend the meeting and had indicated that he was opposed to the extension of 7th Avenue and that evidently was the position of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Boothroy explained that deficiencies and discrepancies which needed to be corrected included: (1) the utility companies signatures, (2) the approval of the legal papers by the legal staff, and (3) the submission of a sanitary sewer easement for the extension of the sewer. Bill Meardon, representing the owners of the Regina property, stated that it was his opinion that approval of the subdivision without the extension of 7th Avenue could be construed as an attempt to diminish the value of the Regina property, especially when such action would be contrary to normal policy for the extension of streets. lie indicated that the property is not as valuable if access is not provided. He mentioned that the secondary means of access to a 40 -acre tract would be "valuable access". Boothroy stated that the extension of 7th Avenue to the Regina property would provide better access than Woodridge Avenue because of the severe topographical limitations. Hoy asked if there were any plans to develop the Regina property. Meardon stated that no one can answer that question as Regina has never been interested in the disposition of the property. He indicated that his purpose is to protect his client in the event of acquisition of the property. Cain stated that the Commission's decision to terminate 7th Avenue should be based upon planning consider- ations, i.e., whether or not the street should be extended if the City does or doesn't acquire the Regina property. Meardon stated that Regina does not want to dispose of the property. They are not absolutely opposed to a flowage easement for stormwater detention, etc, but are opposed to selling the entire 40 -acre parcel. Kammermeyer indicated that he was desirous of seeing 7th Avenue extended to the north boundary line regardless of whether the City purchased all or a portion of the Regina property. Pat Harding of Pat Harding Construction Company indicated that if the Commission would desire, they would present two alternative plats, one showing the extension of 7th Avenue and one showing the termination of 7th Avenue, for consideration by the Commission at the next meeting.

Public discussion of final plat of Windsor Heights, Part V, located east of Hickory Hill Park and north of Rochester Avenue, 45 -day limitation: 12/17/77; 60 -day limitation: 1/1/78. Doug Boothroy, Assistant Planner, presented an overlay of the area. He explained that two preliminary plats, one showing the extension of 7th Avenue and the other showing 7th Avenue terminated, had been submitted. lie explained that both preliminary plats are on file in the City Clerk's Office. It was pointed out that the Park and Recreation Commission had decided by majority vote that 7th Avenue did not need to be extended. When asked if the Legal staff had any recommendations on the subject, Mr. Bowlin stated that he had no particular recommendation. He did say that the Planning and Zoning Commission should choose the street alignment based on what they think is appropriate. Kammermeyer stated that he felt the road should be extended to the property line. His feelings were based on the following: (1) the possible need for access to park property, (2) the possible need for access to the Regina property, and (3) Woodridge Avenue, the only other access to the northern part of the Regina property, would have steep grades. Jakobsen moved, and Vetter seconded, that the plat be approved with 7th Avenue extended to the north, with the contingency that the proper legal papers be provided and the utility companies signatures be added. The motion carried unanimously. Ogesen moved, and Jakobsen seconded, that a recommendation be forwarded to City Council stating that it would be satisfactory to Planning and Zoning that 7th Avenue be approved as a cul-de-sac if the City does acquire the Regina property. Motion carried unanimously. 5-7752. Public discussion of a preliminary and final Planned Area Development and Large Scale Residential plans located west of Gay's Funeral Home on the north side of Muscatine Avenue; 45 -day limitation: 12/22/77; 60 -day limitation: 1/6/78. Doug Boothroy, Assistant Planner, presented an overlay of a revised plan. The revised plan shows complete construction plans, planting plan for trees, and screening of parking. Mr. Boothroy stated that all discrepancies had been taken care of with one exception -- The tree planting plan should be changed to read 76 trees required. He also pointed out that the plat should not be accepted until the legal papers are submitted. The Commission thought the plan did not comply with the intent of the PAD Ordinance because of a reduction of open space that otherwise would be required. A major concern was that PAD's have been innovative but that this one seems to have a negative innovation rather than a positive one. Mr. Streb stated that he has spent $4000 doing what he thought staff would approve and is now finding that it won't be approved as planned. In; 01011 BED BY JURM MICR+LA13 f,IDAk YAMS • US MOINES i Planning and Zoning Commission December 15, 1977 Page 3 A question regarding a possible deferral was raised. Mr. Boothroy stated that in order to defer action now a letter of waiver would be required because of the 45 -day limitation. Kammermeyer asked Mr. Streb if he wished to defer. The answer was "no." Blum called for a vote on the approval of 5-7752, with the following contingencies: (1) legal papers be provided, (2) utility company signatures be added, (3) signature of a registered land surveyor be added, and (4) additional calculations be made re- garding entrances on Muscatine Avenue. S-7752 was unanimously denied. 5-7753. Public discussion of a preliminary plat of E.L. Kessler Subdivision, Part II, located one and one third miles west of Mormon Trek Boulevard off Rohret Road and south 600 feet of the City Limits; 45 -day limitation: 1/2/78. Doug Boothroy, Assistant Planner, presented an overlay and explained that all deficiencies and discrepancies had been met and taken care of. A question was raised regarding the stormwater detention requirement as it relates to Old Man Creek. It was pointed out that Gene Dietz, City Engineer, is the only person that can waive this requirement and chose not to since the stormwater would affect people further downstream. Blum called for a vote on the approval of 5-7753 with the contingency that the final plat be approved with Stormwater Management included. Approval was unanimous, 5-7754. Public discussion of a preliminary and final plat of C.L. Subdivision located two miles southwest of City limits on Rohret Road; 45 -day limitation period: 1/2/78; 60 -day limitation period: 1/17/78. Doug Boothroy, Assistant Planner, presented an overlay. Ile explained that this sub- division lies just within the 2 -mile jurisdiction. The following contingencies were listed by staff: (1) Stormwater Management shown on the plat has not been reviewed by the Engineering Department, (2) plat lacks the signatures of the utility companies and a registered land surveyor, (3) plat lacks a document for dedication of County roads. Blum called for a vote on approval of 5-7754 with the following contingencies: (1) Stormwater Management must be approved by the Engineering Department, (2) signatures of the utility company and a registered land surveyor to be added, and (3) dedication document for county roads to be provided. Approval was unanimous. S-7755. Review of a preliminary and final plat of Nob Hill Subdivision located two and one-half miles north of the City limits on County Road W66, Limitation period: 12/27/77.

Approval was unanimous. Kathleen's Korner. Discussion relating to a request by City Council to consider aemliorating the problem Kathleen's Korner has with the moratorium ordinance. Mr. Bowlin present?d a draft amendment to the Moratorium Ordinance that would allow Kathleen's Korner to do internal remodeling and repair. The commissioners felt that commercial areas should be considered along with residential areas in the enforcement of the ordinance. After a few minor wording changes to the amendment, the consensus of the Commission was to set a public hearing for the amendment. Staff will take the usual steps regarding the public hearing. (A copy of the proposed amendment is attached.) Mr. Schmeiser requested that reconsideration of S-7752 be given and that action on the issue be deferred to allow staff to work with the developer in considering other alternatives. Kammermeyer moved, and Ogesen seconded, that the earlier vote on S-7752 be rescinded to allow staff to work with the developer on this problem. Motion carried unanimously. Ogesen moved, and Kammermeyer seconded, that action on S-7752 be deferred until the next meeting and that the plan be referred to staff for possible revision. Motion carried unanimously.

MV011LM0 BY JORM MICR+LA6 a.BAR PAP1oS • 0[S MOINES a7 -2 - ANALYSIS The addition is not within the proposed annexation areas as outlined in a memo sent to the Planning and Zoning Commission from the City Manager on September 16, 1977. Also the subdivision is located outside those watersheds which will in the future be serviceable by the new sewage treatment plant. It's conceivable that the sub- division will never be annexed to the City of Iowa City. The design of the subdivision has taken into account past Commission concerns about access onto county roads by providing only one means of access via an access easement on Lot 2. RECODaIENDATION The staff recommends that consideration of the plat be deferred but that upon revision of the deficiencies and discrepancies noted below the preliminary and final plat be approved. DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES 1. The plan does not comply with the provisions of the Stormwater Management Ordinance. 2. A complete set of curve notes should be provided for Rohret Road. 3. Signatures of the utility companies and registered land surveyor should be provided. 4. The plat should be dated. S. A resolution and dedication document for future dedication of half of the rights of way of the county roads plus an additional seven feet, upon annexation of the subdivision and acceptance of the streets should be provided. If this area were to be annexed, both county roads are of such significant length as to be appropriately designed as major arterial streets.

Nob Hill Subdivision Date: December 15, 1977 GENERAL 1,9FORMATION Applicant: Mr. Gerry Ambrose 1109 Gilbert Court Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Requested action: Preliminary and final plat approval. Purpose: The replatting of Lots 8, 9, 10, and 11 of Nob Hill subdivision into 5 lots for single family development. Location: Two and one-half miles north of the City limits on County Road W66 (Old Highwu,, 218) Size: Approximately 1S acres Limitation period: 12/27/77 ANALYSIS The subject addition is located outside Iowa City's two-mile extraterritorial control area but within Coralville's. As per the annexation agreement entered into between Iowa City and Coralville, the subdivision is within Iowa City's side of the established "line of jurisdiction" and is, therefore, forwarded to Iowa City for findings and recommendations before Coralville takes any action. The staff finds one major constraint to the replatting of the subject subdivision which is the limiting of access to the county roads either by the provision of frontage roads or common access. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends the preliminary plat be approved subject to the deficiencies and discrepancies noted below and limited access to the county roads. DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES 1. The plan does not comply with the City's Stormwater Management Ordinance. 2. The county road along the west boundary of the subdivision should be shown with R.O.W. and curve notes. 3. A legal description of subdivision should be provided. 4. Contours should be shown at intervals of at least 5 feet. I4:001IL141D BY JURM MICR+LAB CCDM NAPIDS • US M0114CS -2- 5. A signature block for the utility companies should be provided. 4.
