The minutes of.September 6, October 4 $ 5 were discussed and approved with one change in the minutes of October 5: "staff present". The minutes were approved as corrected unanimously. Members of the Johnson County Association for Retarded Citizen's were present to request funding for permanent housing for the program for retarded adults. They asked $100,000 or one third of the anticipated cost for a building for retarded adults and the offices of Systems Unlimited which administers the program. A copy of their proposal is attached to these minutes. I Carter moved and Clark seconded that the goals and objectives of the Committee on Community Needs as shown on page 6 of the CDBG 5th year proposals, be adopted. Vote was unanimous. Carter requested clarification of Milkman's memo on not allocating funds for bus shelters. Milkman replied that the Transit System is applying for funds from other sources for these shelters, and therefore, CDBG monies should not be used. Purington stressed some points to remember when voting for projects to be funded, including the problem of maintenance costs after CDBG funds run out and sufficient i contingency funds for cost overruns. Questions on real estate and who would aquire i the building if the program folded were raised. Milkman reported that the building would legally be the organization's. Carter suggested that if real estate was bought, i to include a clause stating in the contract that if the organization closed the property would become the City's. i Milkman asked the Committee to look carefully at the Energy Conservation Program. She said that a camera valued at $10,000 was purchased for recording heat loss and she pointed out that at the end of the funded period the equipment purchased with CDBG funds has to be returned to the Government or sold. It was therefore, impor- Cant to get as much use out of the camera as possible before the end of the program. Milkman also suggested leaving the contingency funds as they stand now because sev- eral programs are likely to need extra money for cost overruns. The Committee then agreed to discuss programs they felt could not be funded. The Committee eliminated the trunk sewer and land acquisition link -up proposals because CDBG regulations would not allow funding for such programs. It was also moved to eliminate River City Cooperatives by Swisher and seconded by Clark. Unanimous. l q8.3 l 141CROFILMED BY I JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES rlo,sWiILMLu by JORN MICROLAB CEDW RAPIDS AND DES MINUTES COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS OCTOBER 18, 1978 PAGE 2 I Funding for purchase of Central Junior High was also dismissed unanimously as a low priority project. There was some discussion of the Ralston Creek Maintenance project, but it was not eliminated at this time. It was suggested to allocate funds for ongoing projects and if money was left over, to allocate money for programs such as Spouse Abuse and Housing for Transients. Braverman thought one building could be bought for the Transients and the Spouse Abuse programs, but Carter said that it specifically requested not to combine any of these programs. Jerry Smithey y Housing Commission, feels these programs need to be looked representing Iowa Cit into further. fie asked the Committee to give further consideration to these pro- grams before just leaving them out. Braverman asked the Committee if the directors for the Transient program and the Spouse Abuse program could come and answer some questions that the Committee may have concerning their programs. Milkman commented on the Rape Victim program by saying that even though it looks easy to fund because of such a small amount of money is being requested, it takes staff time and cost more than indicated. Carter asked that the request be left in for further discussion. Other programs which require more discussion are Ar- chitectural Barrier Removal; Minor Repairs for the Elderly; Energy Conservation; I' Comprehensive Plan; and the Nelson Adult Center. Swisher recommended giving public buildings first priority for architectural barrier removal. Clark and Carter agreed. Michael Kucharzak, Director for llousing Rehabilitation, presented a request for i a different type of program from the existing one. (A list of suggested funding fundingis attached to these minutes.) He felt that the current program, based changeson complete rehabilitation was not cost effective, with an estimated overhead cost of $5,000 for each $8,000-$10,000 spent on rehabilitation of a single house. Con - and staff resulted in a request to the Housing sideruble discussion by the Committee ing Minor Dousing Repairs for the elderly with Director to present a proposal combin items 3, 5 8 8 of the Housing Rehabilitation proposal. The Committee felt that Kucharzak's ideas were excellent and appreciated his honesty in presenting the j problems. i A meeting on October 23, 1978 was planned to discuss the proposals further. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. .. \ 141CROFILI-IED BY .ry ' JORM MICR#LAB CEDAR RAPIDS . DES MOINES IaIL(UrILALU by JURM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES PROGRAM ALTERNATIVES FOR THE HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM 1. Raise REHAB I income guidelines from the 1976 HUD guidelines to the 1978 HUD guidelines. This would be more realistic and would better reflect inflation. City of Iowa City employees, for example, receive cost of living increases because of inflation. The new guidelines would compensate for this. The new guidelines are: 1 person $10000. to $10600 2 persons $11375 to $12100 3 persons $12570 to $13600 4 persons $14250 to $15100 5 persons $15125 to 516300 6 persons $16000 to $17500 7 persons $16875 to 518700 8 persons 517875 to S19900 Five applicants are immediately identifiable under these guidelines. Benefits of the increase would include having more applicants meeting the 35% housing cost maximun which is a guideline for eligibility. 2. Changing the loan program to a subsidized loan program with a local lender finding the person eligible for a loan from their institution. The City would pay the interest. The City would thus be out of the loan collection business, would use less staff time, and would be done with their part of the loan program when rehab closes down. 3. Establish an emergency repair program with graduated priorities. The first would be emergency conditions( a handicapped person needing a fire exi)), hazards ( falling ceiling), and items which threaten the life of the structure (leaking roof). 4. Enlarge the present 403 area. The staff has seen a lot of resentment fr6m citizens over the present area. A frequent argument is that those outside of the area also pay taxes. 5. Hire a part time social worker or ask for a social work student to do a practicum with the rehab program. This person would be invaluable as an. outreach person --talking to the elderly, meeting with other agencies, doing referral follow-up, acting as a client advocate, coordinating the staff, contractor, and client. 6. Have seasonal rehab programs such as painting in the Spring and the Fall, insulation in the winter, 7. While keeping forgiveable loans the same size ($5000.00), increase the grant. 8. Have an,acquisition program. The staff has identified 13 houses that are beyond repair. The elderly homeowner in these structures has no place else to go. Having lived in a single family home, he/she would have a difficult adjustment to apartment living. If the City could acquire these homes a dual problem would be solved --the person would gPt a better place to live and the City could remove a blighted structure . '!

The minutes for September 13 were discussed and Gilpin proposed that the last line of the first paragraph on page 3 be changed to read, "allocate funds in FY 180 for landscaping." The minutes were approved as corrected. Gilpin received a letter from Liz Humphrey from St. Louis, Missouri concerning the exposed tree roots along the Iowa River. Gilpin suggested a letter in reply should include the City Attorney's memo on rip -rapping the riverbank. A letter from Nancy Seiberling was received on October 2, 1978 concerning the protection and beautification of the Iowa River. Gilpin suggested sending a copy of the Riverfront Commission's recommendation to the City Council regarding priorities as well'as a letter to Project Green informing them that they are happy to cooperate. Gilpin reported on the informal City Council meeting September 18 concerning the Wagner -Murphy Annexation. Gilpin said no strong reasons for annexation were presented and were limited plans to develop the area. The Commission decided to take no further action at this time. Milkman reported on the progress of the Zoning Ordinance. She said the Planning and Zoning Commission sent the ordinance back to the staff for further work. Funding for the completion of the Zoning Ordinance and the River Corridor Overlay Zone: was requested at the CCN public meeting on October 5, 1978. Milkman said that McLaughlin and Fountain walked the area of the South River Corridor and recommended a trail system. It was suggested that Parks and Recreation and the Riverfront'Commission get together to discuss the future of the River Corridor and maintenance of the buffer zone. With regard to the leasing of airport property to Hartwig Motors, Knight sug- gested that.the Commission should find out the dimensions of the property and how close to the River it comes. Legal questions on ownership of the property are still pending. It was noted that three members of the Riverfront Commission terms expire soon. They are Epley, Fountain, and Lindberg.

The motion was seconded by Neuzil and approved unanimously. Epley, Milkman, and Gilpin will develop a list of possible priorities in the River Corridor for inclusion in the City's 5 year Capital Improvements Program. ( Lindberg suggested one or two significant projects should be picked for FY 180, preferably ones with support from the public and the City Council for a better chance of success. A memo on projects will.be sent to all members. At the next Riverfront meeting, members of the Commission should be prepared to.discuss priorities and vote on them. It was agreed to investigate the designation of Terrell Hill, Sturgis Ferry, and Napoleon Parks as Historic Sites. This would offer another source of funds for their development and upkeep. Milkman commented on the progress of the Bikeways Plan and said that funding was being requested from the CDBG funds. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

She indicated that she had tried to report at least quarterly to the School Board and distributed to the Commission a summary she had submitted to the Board (see attached). Skelley then introduced the new appointment to the Commission, Pat Heyek, and stated that she would be glad to help the Commission in any way possible in the future. i Thayer stated. his feeling that Skelley's participation on the Commission had been enjoyed by the other Commission members. Boutelle indicated to,Hayek that a tour of the parks and recreation facilities would be arranged for her at her convenience. * Following discussion, Thayer moved and Crum seconded that the election of officers be posponed until the next meeting in hopes that more members would be present. Ward arrived at 7:42 p.m., making the quorum. The vote was unanimous. Report on the ASERP Program. Mary Jo Weyhrauch, ASERP Supervisor, was present to discuss that program, indicating that it had come about through a citizens' survey (see attached report). She stated that the purpose of the program was to present leisure skills and recreation activity to children in a non -threatening atmosphere. The program currently operates at 12 schools and at Mark IV with 26 classes offered and 302 kids participating. The program runs for eight weeks in the fall and six weeks during the spring. Thayer inquired whether there was any conflict between the ASERP program and the recreational program at Mark IV and Weyhrauch responded that there was no direct conflict as the programs meet at different times and the structures are different.

The Commission works with an extensi^, staff employed for maintenance of several hundred acres of park land, the Recreation Center, and the supervision of numerous recreation/leisure activities scheduled in city, school district, and private (such as Mark IV) facilities. The following personal conclusions may be informative for the full Board: a.) I have represented the view that while the school is very positive about cooperat- ing with the City in coordinating existing school land/park development, the Board was not interested in expending site funds to purchase new lands at this time. b.) There is a continuing debate about financial priorities for expansion vs facility development, Example: Choice before Commission - to recommend to the Council purchase of additional land adjoining west side Willow Creek Park or to recommend additional facilities at Mercer Park and construction of tennis courts at Willow Creek Park. While I concur with protecting green space in expansion, I have been partial to and advocated development of existing facilities. While long range planning is necessary, today's citizens' and children's needs should be met'. This has been my personal point of view. The opposing view is as valid. I assume debate and balance will continue. c.) There is general feeling that the City has done its part in providing indoor swimming facilities. The City staff is cooperative with schools in sharing the pool, but it is not an easy job for either administration. If a new pool is to be built, it is my opinion that it will have to be from school district action. We would receive cooperation in funding from extraordinary city financial source^ only. This is a personal conclusion and no official position has been articulateu. d.) The cooperative use of tax -supported facilities (and, therefore, avoidance of duplication) is progressing well. There will continue to be a need to provide support, direction, and encouragement to our staff in creating a positive working relationship between two staffs with differing purposes and slightly differing constituencies. e.) This year is the first year the Commission has had the Rotary Camp Cardinal available. Whether this is a useful outdoor education facility for the district should be evaluated this year. It is my opinion that our staff should be con- tinually aware of educational opportunities through cooperation with the City in such areas as Hickory Hill Ralston Creek, river -front and land -fill areas. Our large campus at West High may offer mutual -use opportunities. The Iowa City Community School District encompasses five municipalities and extensive rural area. While Iowa City is by far the most influential, in terms of valuation and student numbers, upon our school district, there are opportunities within the other areas for recreation and facility -sharing which should not be ignored.

Expenditures for August made in September are not available at this time and those expended for Jan. -May as well as Sept. -Dec. not included. These two factors make the comparison with last years report meaningless as well as distorting the per- centage of costs paid by admissions. In order to get a complete cost vs receipt comparison the figures for the full calendar year should be used. The receipts for season ticket sales have been divided proportionately be- tween the 3 pools according to the season ticket use: City Park 59.83%, Mercer Park 33.53%, Center 6.64%. These season ticket receipts have been added to the gate receipts to arrive at the total admission receipts for each pool. The operating expenditures are computed for each pool by figuring the hours of public use time and the hours of lesson and swim teams times and applying that to the total operating costs. Major repairs and capital improvements are extracted prior to computing the operating costs. The calculations for the 3 pools with the 1977-12 month figures in () follows: City Park Pool: expenditures paid by admissions 116.4% receipts $21,175 (20,631); expenditures $18,194 (27,911) (73.9) Mercer Park Pool: expenditures paid by admissions 105.6% receipts $10,144 (9,431); expenditures $9,607 (15,400) (61.2) Center Pool: expenditures paid by admissions 61.2% receipts $4,487 (14,874); expenditures *$7,332 (23,631) (62.9) *Expenditures for Center Pool include 30% of gas, 20% of electric and 75% of water for the entire building during June, July and August *Because of a refund the figures used for electricity are not accurate. 141cROEILMED BY JoRM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES } } f .I i I 1 i l i i i i I h}iwKUI iL;'ILU BY JORM 14ICROLAB 11 CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES IOWA CITY PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT October 4, 1978 Cost Analysis of Public Swimming for Summer 1978 Robert A.

Construction of Boyrum Street will provide an alternative to the Keokuk Street access which presently serves this property. If the request is approved, it is the applicant's intent to use the property in question for an auto- mobile dealership. According to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the request area should be developed with "Land Consumptive Commercial" types of uses. By the plan's definition, a Land Consumptive Commercial area would permit "...warehousing, light industry, and those service functions and businesses whose operations are characterized by expansive storage and sales areas sales areas (emphasis added)."

By definition, "a neighborhood commercial center usually includes a grocery store (major tenant), drug store and possibly a few other stores which primarily serve the surrounding residential area. The Comprehensive Plan proposed a site for a commercial center to serve this area at the intersection of Prairie du Chien Road and Foster Road. Hy -Vee Food Stores, Inc. requested rezoning of a 4.3 acre tract of land located at the northwest corner of N. Dodge Street and N. Dubuque Road to a PC (Planned Commercial) classification. This request included two acres in addition to an area presently zoned commercial. It was the applicant's intent to develop the property in question as a neighborhood commercial center which included both a grocery store and a drug store. The Planning and Zoning Commission denied the applicant's request. Concerns weighed by the Commission in consideration of the request were: traffic impact on N. Dodge Street, neighborhood need, expansion of commercial activity along N. Dodge Street, and recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. Hy -Vee has now indicated to both the Commission and Council that, without rezoning approval, it is not feasible for them to build the project as originally proposed. Instead, they now intend to build only a grocery store on that portion of the property (approximately 2 acres) presently zoned commercial. The. Commission has requested staff assistance in determining whether reconsideration of Hy-Vee's I rezoning request is appropriate. I Assuming that Hy -Vee constructs a grocery store on N. Dodge Street, the Commission's alternatives are: (I) consideration of the subject development area as a location for a Planned Neighborhood Commercial Center (i.e., reconsideration of the request `I to rezone to PC), and (II) do nothing. Staff analysis of the first alternative considers the following: trade area analysis, site location criteria, and Compre- hensive Plan interpretation. 1 ALTERNATIVE I ` Trade Area Analysis The trade area defined for this analysis is bounded by these parameters: Iowa River to the west, Interstate 80 to the north, a line extending south from Interstate k 80 -Highway 1 interchange on the east running parallel to Highway 1 and intercepting with a line extended east from Dubuque Street along Brown Street (see attached map). This definition of the trade area differs slightly from that used in the Compre- hensive Plan, as the areas north of I-80, which were included in the Comprehensive 1 Plan, are not included here. Although most of this area has been part of the City since 1964, its development has been slow (29% developed). At the present time, the majority of the development follows natural plateaus of the topography. Problems relating to the development ne of the area include: topographic conditions, available sewer capacity, andincomplete street system (e.g., the absence of a major east -west arterial street). In spite of these problems, pressures to develop this area will increase as the "east -west trunk sewer" is completed. In addition, the natural environment of the area offers attractive residential development opportunities. MICROFILMED BY 1 JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES MLI KOrILALu bf JURM MICRULA6 -2- LEDAi< RAPIDC AND JE Since only a minimal amount of development has occurred in this area since 1974, the existing population for the area can be assumed to be approximately 32196 (1974 Special Census Count). The Comprehensive Plan projected a very low future population for this area (12,530). In doing so, it used a conservative 2.8 people per single family dwelling generation rate. According to past staff surveys (see Staff Report Z-7616), this is the lowest probable generation rate for single family dwellings. The use of a very low population generationrate affects an facilities recommendation made by the Comprehensive Plan (e.g., of neighborhood commercial centers). The Comprehensive Plan's population projection of 12,530 is the lowest probable population holding capacity for that trade area. Determination of neighborhood facility needs should not be based on either reholding t he lowest or the highest probable holding capacity but on the average p g capacity. The average holding capacity assumes sequential development; planning facilities to meet this capacity is the most efficient method for meeting long-term neighborhood needs. If determination of facility needs is based on too low a holding capacity, these needs are under -estimated; if based on the highest probable holding capacity, needs are over-estimated. The staff revised the probable population holding capacity estimates by providing both high and low projections. Also provided in these projections are estimates for existing and Phase I growth which reflect a sequence of development. Existing and Phase I growth will determine facility needs within the near future while estimates of the area's holding capacity will determine long-term needs. The upper estimate is based on use of generation rates found in new single family neighborhoods (3.96 people per dwelling unit) and is a high generation rate applied to a high density of dwelling units per acre indicated on the Comprehensive Plan Map. The low estimate is derived from a low ratio of people per dwelling unit (2.8 people per dwelling unit) applied to a low density dwelling units per acre. Assuming the Comprehensive Plan's recommended land use density for the study area, staff found the expected population for existing and Phase I development to be between 10,297 and 29,833 persons. The holding capacity for the trade area was projected to be between 13,763 and 53,697 persons (see Tables 1 and 2). Because of the magnitude of these intervals, the average population cannot be estimated with any degree of certainty. Although it can be concluded from the lowest probable population estimate that one commercial center could be supported, it would be tenuous to conclude that four commercial centers are justified by the highest probable population estimate (standard of one acre of commercial area per 2,000 population). In order to increase the level of confidence in estimating an average population, the above intervals must be limited. To accomplish this, assumptions regarding density and type of residential development must be made. Because zoning determines density and type of residential development, the staff estimated a population interval based on the application of the zoning classifications recommended by the Comprehensive Plan and a recommended zoning scheme developed by the Staff. Accordingly, the expectant population for existing and Phase I ranges between 13,058 and 17,803 persons, and the holding capacity ranges between 18,663 and 25,934 persons (see Table 3 and 4). Neighborhood commerical acreage supportable by existing and Phase I growth would be between 6.5 and 9 acres, while the area's holding capacity would support 9.3 to 13 acres of commercial area. These commercial acreage estimates could be considered conservative because centers of from 4-7 acres in size will serve not only the population of the area in which they are immediately located, but surrounding areas as well. Additional areas served by a WICROFILMED BY JORNA MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES I9il lw Ur (LMLO by JURM 1,11CROLAb -3- CEDAR RAPIDS AND 'DES neighborhood commercial center located within this study area might include: River Heights, the "northside area", Solon, other rural areas, and Manville Heights. This data indicates that the holding capacity of the study area (excluding Neighbor- hood I) will exceed the Comprehensive Plan's projection. In terms of long range planning, this holding capacity would support at least two commercial centers. However, only one commercial center is immediately supportable by the study area. Site Location Criteria The location of a neighborhood commercial center should be unassailable, i.e., in I the best possible location. The Comprehensive Plan did not establish detailed locational criteria for use in determining appropriate locations for these centers. The staff therefore recommends that the following criteria be used in the consider- ation of locations for neighborhood commercial centers: (a) Location Walking distance should not be the primary criterion for the location of a neighborhood commercial center, particularly in suburban locations. Where a neighborhood shopping center is justified, it should be on a major thorough- fare, convenient to the trade area, and should not cause external new traffic movements through the residential neighborhood. (b) Size There must be sufficient site area for the initial development indicated by the trade area analysis. There should be room for expansion and for buffer strips -I where needed. A minimum acreage (4 acres) should be established by using preliminary estimates from the market area analysis, (c) Shape The site should be all in one piece. A site divided by a trafficway interrupts a continuity for shopping, impedes the flow of pedestrians, complicates car movements, and contradicts the basic principle of unity for the shopping facility. Extensive frontage, easily viewed from access thoroughfares, is desirable. Although site depths cannot be specified with any meaning, perhaps depths of 400 feet or more distinguish the center from the old standard strip commercial areas which were usually zoned only 100 to 200 feet in depth, (d) Access Access should be easy and convenient. Adequate access should accommodate the traffic load, but it must not add to the traffic problem. Customer traffic from outside the immediate neighborhood must not filter through nearby residential streets, creating nuisances and irritations for the local residents. Entrances into and out of a center must be well separated from major street intersections (at least 125 feet from the intersection). (e) Local Conditions The site should have adequate utility services available to it, proper zoning, and favorable neighborhood sentiment. 141CROFIL14ED BY JORM MICR�LAB j CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 14,u<UrILMLU By JURP1 NICROLAB -4- (f) Topography CEDAR RAPIDS AND D A site should not require excessive grading. The site ordinarily should be relatively level with grades not in excess of approximately 2.5 to 3 percent. (g) Competition It is important to consider the location of the center with relation to both existing and future competition. Well located centers may, on the average, be found at intervals of from .5 to 1 mile apart, depending upon the type of development in terms of families per acre and range of income groups to be served. Staff field analysis of the Prairie du Chien -Foster Road area, using the aforementioned location criteria, indicates that a suitable site for a neighborhood commercial development does not exist. In this area there is no site available with the necessary acreage to serve a trade area as large as Neighborhoods I, II, III and part of IV.. Even though the Comprehensive Plan mentions this area as a possible long range site for a neighborhood commercial center, it seems unwise to consider this location. as a viable alternative at present. If, however, a neighborhood center were located at Prairie du Chien -Foster Road, and if Hy -Vee were to construct a grocery store on N. Dodge Street, it is doubtful that there would be sufficient competitive balance to maintain healthy commercial centers at both locations. The future location of a commercial center to the west of Prairie du Chien Road in the Dubuque Street/Peninsula area would provide a better competitive balance to the N. Dodge Street store. Consideration of both a Prairie du Chien location and a Dubuque Street/Peninsula location are long-term planning considerations which would require a nieghborhood micro -analysis of all neighborhoods in this study area. The staff finds that Hy -Veers request does comply with the previously outlined locational criteria and with the development criteria recommended in Appendix B of the Comprehensive Plan (page 97). Comprehensive Plan Interpretation The policy section of the Comprehensive Plan makes the following recommendations regarding neighborhood commercial centers: "Encourage the use of Planned Unit Development to effectively blend neighborhood commercial activity into residential neighborhoods." The plan text explains the visual recommendations for commercial centers on the land use map as the following: t'Some of the locations for recommended use on the map are approximate: cir- cles and rounded edges are meant to imply that boundaries and locations are not definite for neighborhood commercial areas,...A set of locational criteria is provided elsewhere in the text to define appropriate location for flexible land uses." 4...-� MICROFILMED BY ,K) ' JoRM MICR¢LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES i f I 1 { I i it 14,u<UrILMLU By JURP1 NICROLAB -4- (f) Topography CEDAR RAPIDS AND D A site should not require excessive grading.

If Hy -Vee were to build on N. Dodge, there may not be a need for another commercial center in such close proximity. Second, the impact of additional traffic on N. Dodge Street must be considered. The approval of the subject request (including both a grocery store and a drug store) would not create undue additional traffic loadings on N. Dodge Street (see attached memo from Traffic Engineer). Since the "Do Nothing" alternative would i serve to eliminate only the drug store and not the grocery store, it can be assumed that this alternative will have little effect in the volume of traffic assumed in the first alternative (trips generated by the drug store would be few compared to those generated by the grocery store).

Aesthetic concerns of interest to both surrounding area (proper buffering) as well as to the community (N. Dodge Street entrance) are best addressed with a PC zone designation. Fourth, if the N. Dodge Street site is to function as a neighborhood commerical center, it should be planned as such. The most effective neighborhood center would include both the grocery store and a drug store. This commercial combination provides the majority of convenience items needed by neighborhood residents. The portion of the property presently zoned for commercial development is too shallow (260 feet deep) and limited in area for an adequately sized neighborhood center (planning standards recommend a minimum site of four acres). Construction of a grocery store on the CH property effectively prohibits future drug store develop- ment to the rear and could continue to perpetuate strip commercial development along N. Dodge Street. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS 1. The Comprehensive Plan should be viewed as a flexible document not requiring an amendment to resolve issues of the nature discussed in this report. 2. The North Dodge Street commercial site (4 acres) meets both the Staff's locational criteria and the Plan's Development criteria and should be con- sidered by the Commission as an appropriate location for a neighborhood commercial center. 3. At least two neighborhood commercial centers could be supported by the study area. One commercial center could be located in the western portion of the study area (Dubuque Street/Peninsula area). A neighborhood micro -analysis of the study area should be done to determine its appropriate location. 4. The Commission should reconsider Hy-Vee's request to rezone to.PC (Planned Commercial).

Based on their weekly averages, a gross daily estimate of trip generation would be 1,670 trips generated by the food store and 825 trips generated by the drug store. If the assumption of 50 percent crossover trade is made, it follows that the drug store would generate approximately 415' trips per day. The impact of rezoning on trip generation.based on the above gross estimates would be 1,670 trips generated by the food store alone, com- pared to 2,085 trips generated by the food -drug store combination. Hy Vee indicates a food store could be placed on the existing parcel zoned CH. It appears reasonable to assume such an establishment.would have the same trip generation potential of 1,670 trips per day. Volume counts made in 1975 indicated the average annual daily volume for Dodge Street in this area was 6,700 trips. If it is assumed that all the projected trips generated by the food store or food -drugstore combination are additional trips, the total average annual daily volume generated by the food store along would be 8,370 trips compared to 8,785 trips generated by the food drug store combination. This assumption is a very improbable worst condition assumption. Based on the assumptions made above, it appears that the requested rezoning would not create undue additional traffic loadings.

Major considerations at that time were the sewer capacity in the area and the impact on enrollment at the neighborhood s school. The staff's analysis was favorable, recommending approval with the j understanding that the tract would not be subdivided into more lots than indicated on the preliminary plat. Since that time, the compliance of the subdivision to the Stormwater Management Ordinance came into question, and the issue was taken to court by the developer. The court subsequently ruled that the sub- division would not have to comply with the Stormwater Management Ordinance. A final plat of Mount Prospect Addition, Part 3, containing only 52 lots has been submitted and approved. Mount Prospect, Part 4, contains the remaining 63 lots of the original Mount Prospect, Part 3, subdivision. + i i RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends approval of the plat subject to the resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies listed below and rezoning of the property to a zone which would accommodate the lot sizes illustrated. t., I nRFICIRNCIF.S AND 11ISCRRPANC7RS 1.
