Cook moved to approve the proposed amendment to the River Corridor Overlay
Zone specifying the floodway encroachment line from which the 30 -foot
setback requirement is measured. Hebert seconded the motion.
Scott stated that after hearing a considerable amount of discussion on this
issue and seeing how the setback would be calculated, he could understand
how a person not familiar with the amendment could be confused as to the
actual position of the floodway line and setback lines. Scott continued
and noted that there were only three commercial structures and six or seven
single-family homes that would be affected by the proposed amendment.
Scott concluded by saying that as so few properties would be affected by
the proposed amendment, there seems to be little reason to support the
proposed amendment given the number of years the present ordinance has been
in effect and its success in controlling development in the floodplain.
Dierks stated that she was confused regarding what affect the ordinance,
as proposed, would actually have on riverfront properties and would prefer
deferring the item until more information was available.
The motion was denied, 0-6.
Cook moved to recommend denial of the proposed amendment to the River
Corridor Overlay Zone. Hebert seconded the motion. The motion carried,
6-0.
Cook moved to propose a sense of the Commission to encourage the City
Council to (1) initiate immediate designation of a 15 -foot right-of-way
for a future trail along all publicly owned lands; (2) incorporate a trail
into the design of the new Benton Street bridge; (3) encourage all
landowners to donate a 15 -foot easement along the river in an effort to
bank the land for future trail development; (4) encourage the City to
support matching funds to extend the trail from the art museum to the Iowa
Avenue bridge; (5) encourage the City to match funds for a trail from Iowa
Avenue bridge to the Burlington Street bridge; (6) recognize the need to
use economic development funds for infrastructure like the river corridor
which benefits existing as well as new businesses; (7) recognize the value
of offering an alternative to pedestrians and cyclists competing with
22,800 cars a day on Riverside Drive. Hebert seconded the motion.
Cook stated he would like to see a fully developed riverfront trail. Cook
noted that there has not been much progress on this issue since the Stanley
report came out and feels that the end result could be as far reaching and
as important to the City of Iowa City as the downtown pedestrian mall.
Cook concluded by saying that he did not vote for the proposed amendment
on the grounds of legal and political reasons.
The motion carried, 6-0.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA:
Melissa Williams, 722 Rundell Street and owner of The Second Act clothing store,

Beagle reviewed the staff report dated February 2, 1989, concerning both
items.
Clark moved to recommend approval Z-8901, a request submitted by Dynevor,
Inc., to rezone a 5.841 acre parcel from PDH -8 to RS -8. Cook seconded the
motion. The motion carried, 6-0.
Cook moved to recommend the City Council consent to vacate Lots 39-43 and
46-49 of Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part Three, including a portion of the
unimproved platted right-of-way of Dynevor Circle. Hebert seconded the
motion. The motion passed 6-0.
Cook moved to recommend approval S-8902, a request submitted by Dynevor,
Inc., for preliminary plat approval of a 5.841 acre, 20 -lot residential
subdivision known as Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part Five. Hebert seconded the
motion.
Dierks asked if a similar 8 -foot sidewalk exists across the Farm Bureau
property to the south. Larry Schnittjer, MMS Consultants, replied that
the proposed sidewalk will stop at the south boundary of the subdivision.
The motion carried, 6-0.
3. S-8835. Public discussion of a request submitted by Byers & Happel, Inc.,
for preliminary plat approval to establish a 20.51 acre, 33 -lot residential
subdivision known as Cameron Subdivision; and, preliminary PDH and LSRD
plan approval of a 6.759 acre, 28 -unit condominium development known as
Willowbrooke Pointe Condominiums, both located at the northeast corner of
the Mormon Trek Boulevard and Benton Street intersection. (45 -day
limitation period: February 16, 1989.)
Beagle noted that the deficiencies that were identified in the February
2, 1989, staff report have been resolved. Beagle concluded by reviewing
the Summary Report dated February 16, 1989, regarding the condominium
project.
Joe Joynt, 827 Spencer Drive, stated that when he bought his home, the land
behind him was zoned RS -5 and that now a portion of it is being changed
to PDH -5. Joynt said that he was concerned about the changes that would
take place and that he would prefer single-family development throughout
the area as that is what it was expected when he bought his residence and
that he expected it to remain RS -5.
Allen Mustin, 821 Spencer Drive, stated he was in agreement with Joe Joynt
concerning the condominium development and was opposed to spot zoning which
he feels this development represents.
343
Planning & Zoning Commission
February 16, 1989
Page 5
Jim Senhall, 2137 Leonard Circle, stated that he was opposed to the
proposed development and would prefer single-family development throughout
the entire block.
Marjorie Kuperman, 2138 Leonard Circle, stated that she did not agree with
the proposed condominium development and doesn't feel that the zoning
should change. Kuperman indicated that she disliked the design of the
condominiums and in particular the arrangement of the parking and the
quantity provided as it doesn't fit the existing neighborhood.
Cindy Henderson, 2119 Slager Circle, stated that she was opposed to the
development and would prefer single-family homes in the area.
Sally Orr, 2141 Slager Circle, stated she was concerned that there was not
a market for the condominium units that are priced between $80,000-
$100,000. Orr continued and said that if the condominium units do not
sell, she is worried that they will be converted into rental units. Orr
concluded by saying that she was also assuming that when she moved into
the area that the area would remain RS -5.
Sally Orr read from written comments by Steve Houser who stated that he
was under the assumption that the area would remain single-family and that
there is no justification for changing this zoning.
S.R. Williams, 2214 MacBride Drive, stated that he has lived in the area
a long time and that the area has always been generally single-family, but
that now it seems that the land use is changing. Williams noted that he
made a sizeable investment in his house and land and that he and the
neighbors are opposed to this development.
Marjorie Miller, 833 Spencer Drive, stated that she supports what her
neighbors have said and would like to see the area developed as single-
family.
Kay Wandling, 2225 MacBride Drive, stated she was opposed to the rezoning
for all the reasons previously stated by her neighbors.
Joe Joynt read a letter from Dr. Trigg that stated Dr. Trigg opposed the
multi -family development, and wished the area to remain single-family.
Larry Schnittjer, MMS Consultants, stated that the zoning currently on the
Zoning Ordinance map does not ensure that a particular zone will remain
unchanged for perpetuity. Schnittjer also pointed out that there will
not be 112 open parking spaces for the condominiums, but rather half of
those would be inside garages.
Sally Orr stated that she did not know that the zoning maps made no
guarantees as to future land use and just wished that the neighborhood
remained single-family.
Hebert moved to approve the preliminary plat known as Cameron Subdivision
subject to the Subdivider's Agreement submitted at the time of final plat

application to require the installation of the eight -foot sidewalk along
Mormon Trek Boulevard and crosswalk extending south of Elliot Court up
front with the other paving in the subdivision. Cook seconded the motion.
The motion carried, 6-0.
Cook moved to approve the preliminary PDH and LSRD plan for Willowbrooke
Pointe Condominiums subject to the submission of a legally binding
instrument regarding maintenance of the common open space area at the time
of final plat application. Hebert seconded the motion. Dierks stated that
she was in agreement with the neighbors that this rezoning was not what
they had expected when they moved into the area and that she sympathized
with them. Cook stated that the higher density development on the south
end of the tract enabled the development at the northern side of the tract
to develop at a lower density. Cook concluded by saying that the
condominiums do fill a market demand in Iowa City and will vote in favor.
Hebert stated that there will be more green space provided than what would
exist if the whole area was developed as single-family. Hebert concluded
by saying he has seen similar condominium units constructed in Cedar Rapids
and that they are first rate and will vote for the subdivision.
Dierks asked about the construction timetable for the condominiums. Bill
Happel stated that there has been no decision made on that matter, but that
not all seven would be built at once. Happel continued and stated that
two builders are currently going to construct the single-family homes and
both will have an option to build the condominiums.
Scott stated that the minimum lot size in an RS -5 zone is 8,000 square feet
and that the lot size for the proposed single family lots is significantly
larger. Scott continued and noted that this is a result of the trade-off
made possible by the PDH -5 zoning. Scott indicated that PDH -5 is not a
spot zoning and that the PDN -5 density is within the density limitations
of the RS -5 zone. Scott continued and indicated that the Comprehensive
Plan designates land uses such as commercial, residential and density while
the zoning map lists particular zoning classifications. Scott concluded
by noting that at a previous meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission
indicated that this area would remain residential and not commercial and
that the current proposal meets those guidelines and will vote in favor
of the proposal.
The motion carried, 5-1, Dierks voting nay.
Cook moved to approve the summary report. Hebert seconded the motion.
The motion carried, 6-0.
Scott thanked the public in attendance for their comments at tonight's
meeting.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Scott thanked Mary Ann Wallace and Dave Clark for their attendance though they

MEMBERS ABSENT: Cooper
STAFF PRESENT: Beagle, Gentry, Rockwell, Kritz
CALL TO ORDER:
Chairperson Wachal called the joint meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission
and the Riverfront Commission to order at 7:34 p.m.
b. Discussion of an amendment to the river corridor overlay (ORC) zone of the
Zoning Ordinance clarifying the 30 -foot setback boundary requirement.
Riverfront Commissioner Doug Jones reviewed the major issues connected
with the proposed amendment to the River Corridor Overlay Zone.
Jones reviewed the jurisdictional control of land along the Iowa River
stating that the State of Iowa controls the land covered by the river up
to the normal high water mark, while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have
responsibility to protect the wetland areas as stipulated in the Clean
Water Act and the remainder of the riverfront property is in control of
private or public owners. Jones briefly explained the Federal Floodplain
Insurance Program and the regulations controlling development on
floodplains. Jones emphasized that development is prohibited within the
floodway.
Jones discussed the current setback requirements that stipulate that
development cannot take place closer than 30 feet from either 1) the
"riverbank" -- the water level line at 6000 cubic feet per second outflow
from the Coralville Dam, or 2) the floodway encroachment line. Jones
indicated that a 30 -foot setback from the "riverbank" should never prevent
development to occur within the floodway. Jones added that in areas where
fill is required to bring residential development one foot above the 100 -
year flood level, the fill is required at that level for a distance of 17
feet from the edge of the structure to the floodway encroachment line, thus
if the 30 -foot setback was required as proposed to be measured from the
floodway encroachment line, the proposed amendment would involve only an
additional 13 feet of setback. Jones stated that this situation is not
accurately reflected in the estimates of land area affected by the proposed
ordinance change.
Jones reviewed other existing setbacks required in Iowa City, including
front, side and rear yard setbacks and right-of-way setbacks. Jones
continued and explained how land along the river represents a primary
public recreational area and that this parkway -like area is threatened by
344-

Page 2
development. The Riverfront Commission finds the current setback
requirement unacceptable because of the option of choosing either the
riverbank or the floodway encroachment line as the base line from which
to measure the 30 -foot setback. Jones concluded'by stating that the
Riverfront Commission recommends that the discretionary wording be removed
from the River Corridor Overlay Zone setback requirement. The Commission
agrees that a "grandfather" clause should be included that prevents
existing structures which are currently conforming from being considered
non -conforming if the proposed amendment is adopted.
Dierks asked if the state owned the property covered by the River Corridor
Overlay Zone. Jones replied that the state owned the land that would be
covered by a 6,000 cubic feet per second outflow from the Coralville Dam.
Scott asked if the proposed ordinance amendment allowed any existing
structure that presently is conforming to remain so if the amendment were
to be approved. Beagle replied yes, it would. Wallace asked if already
platted subdivisions would be included in the grandfathered clause. Scott
replied no, they would not.
The public hearing on a proposed amendment to the river corridor overlay
zone was opened at 7:53 p.m.
Howard Sokol, 801 Normandy Drive, asked if it was possible to locate the
floodway line and accurately position the line on a person's property.
Scott replied that yes, it could be done through surveying. Beagle noted
that the National Flood Insurance Study contains a map that shows where
the floodway line is located and that a survey could be done to accurately
locate it on a particular parcel. Sokol asked if the floodway line would
have to move as the course of the river changed. Beagle replied that as
development occurred in the watershed, the Corps of Engineers would have
to re-evaluate the original figures and adjust the floodway line
accordingly.
Lyle Seydel, 445 Garden Street, stated that he was concerned about
properties located in the 100 block of Taft Speedway. Seydel indicated
apprehension about being able to locate the floodway encroachment line on
the actual property and not just on the map. Seydel noted he preferred
the current definition of 6,000 cubic feet per second as defining the
riverbank. He thought the "riverbank" base line would affect less private
land.
Seydel asked what would happen if homes were destroyed that were located
in the setback area. Scott replied that the home could be restored to its
original condition. Seydel asked whether the structure could be expanded.
Scott replied yes, as long as the degree of non -conformity is not
increased. Jones pointed out that the structure Mr. Seydel alluded to
currently could not expand if it were situated within the floodway. Seydel
asked if a structure was remodeled or refurbished, that in fact may be on
the current floodway line, would that still be permitted as long as the
foundation wasn't expanded. Scott replied yes, if the structure does not
encroach into the floodway.

James White, Box 314, Bennett, Iowa, stated that he was told over the phone
by City staff that this ordinance did not affect single-family homes.
Scott replied that this is true if the home is currently conforming except
for Mr. Seydel's example of extending the foundation line. White asked
how porches would be handled if the house was destroyed. Gentry responded
that the grandfather clause does not allow further encroachment on the
setback in order to allow the passage of floodwaters. In the case Mr.
White cited, if the structure did not already violate the floodway line,
he would be permitted to rebuild. White pointed out that a home could be
larger than the foundation that it is situated on. Gentry pointed out that
the linear parameters of a home's base line is what is important in this
case. Scott replied that the Zoning Code Interpretation Panel would be
the appropriate body to answer Mr. White's procedural question and
encouraged him to bring it to their attention. White concluded by stating
his concern over the preservation of historical homes along the Iowa River
and that this ordinance amendment should not endanger their continued
existence.
Scott Johnson, 431 First Avenue, stated he was in support of the Ordinance
amendment because it provided directions for development along the Iowa
River. Johnson indicated that there is a misconception that the Coralville
dam prevents catastrophic flooding in Iowa City and recounted two instances
where the emergency spillway was nearly overtopped in the past fifteen
years. Johnson pointed out that the Corps of Engineers estimates that 40%
of the original storage capacity of the Coralville Reservoir has been
reduced by siltation and an additional 1.5-3% of the remaining storage
capacity is lost each year. Johnson also indicated that dredging the
reservoir would cost billions of dollars to undertake. Johnson commented
that land use patterns are very long lasting and that eventually the dam
will not exercise control over the Iowa River and that this is why the
Ordinance amendment represents a method to address the development problems
along the Iowa River. Johnson urged the Commissioners to endorse the
Ordinance amendment as a basis for further restrictions on development in
the floodway or the floodplain which may include governmental purchase of
land in the floodplain in order to develop it as a parkway.
Mace Braverman, 503 Melrose Avenue, said he was confused by the purpose
of this Ordinance amendment as there already exists adequate laws regarding
development in the floodway. Scott replied that this Ordinance amendment
does not deal with the floodway. Current regulations do not permit
construction in the floodway. The proposed amendment's grandfather clause
only deals with those structures within the 30 -foot setback area.
Jeffrey Schabilion, 431 Rundell Street, stated there were three areas of
public concern associated with the proposed Ordinance amendment to the
River Corridor Overlay Zone: (1) flooding and attendant financial losses,
(2) ecological, and (3) aesthetics. Schabilion noted that in all three
areas the passage of the proposed amendment to the Ordinance would be
beneficial as an enhancement of the public good.

Marshall McKusic, 820 Park Road, stated he encouraged the reasonable and
proper use of the Iowa River and that the proposed Ordinance amendment
represents a minimum step in that direction. He is in favor of the
proposed change.
Larry Schnittjer, MMS Consultants, stated he had an exception to statements
about the placement of the setback line. Schnittjer indicated that the
location of the floodway line was impossible to determine on an actual
property as the floodway line as shown on the map is 20 feet wide according
to the map scale. Schnittjer noted that the "riverbank" can be determined
by the 6,000 cubic feet per second flow and that while he agreed with Scott
Johnson about the future flooding potential of the Iowa River, he does not
know what the answer is to the problem. Wachal stated that the floodway
line must be accurately positioned because under federal law, a person is
not permitted to develop in the floodway. Larry Schnittjer replied that
the floodway line can, indeed, be determined by elevations on the FEMA map.
White asked what affect the proposed amendment would have on Hancher
Auditorium and other public and University property along the Iowa River.
Scott replied that governmental agencies are not bound by the same laws.
Johnson noted that FEMA does set floodway and 100 -year flood limits by
elevations with clearly definable benchmarks which surveyors could
extrapolate and form a line on that basis. He suggested that the
Commission use the FEMA elevation levels as they do not change like the
river does as it meanders.
Seydel pointed out that front yard setbacks can be waived by taking the
average of front yard setbacks along a block and asked whether this could
be done with the proposed Ordinance amendment. Gentry responded that the
Ordinance is not written to address that question. Seydel stated that it
should be.
Rockwell noted a phone call from Jim Sanders or Moore Business Forms. in
support of the proposed amendment to the River Corridor Overlay Zone
Ordinance amendment, and a call from Jim Baculis of Baculis Trailer Court,
indicating no opposition to the amendment. Scott noted the receipt of a
letter dated February 11, 1989, from Bruce Glasgow in opposition to the
proposed amendment as well as a letter from Iowa Car Company also in
opposition to the amendment.
The joint public meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Riverfront
Commission was adjourned at 8:46 p.m.
