Settin apublic hearin for Januar 26, 1988, on amendments to the o -s ree par in requiremen s. oen s a e ounce wireceive aid ltional information prior to their next meeting. B. Public hearing on a resolution adopting an addendum to the 1983 Com- -r es OUT or sequence with the development proposals recommended in ther1983 Comprehensive Plan Update; the purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to propose land uses within the community to design an appropriate se- quence of development in advance to prevent overloading existing infrastructure and for efficient extension of services to new develop- ment; the Comprehensive Plan is based on the premise that areas that can accommodate the greatest population for the least cost of capital improvements should be developed first. Moen noted the area west of Highway 218 is not recommended in the short-range, 15 years from 1983, for development. Moen said the Planning and Zoning Commission deter- mined that if out of sequence development is to occur that it is essential that it approximate as closely as possible the cost benefit balance that sequence development is based on; the impact of the Southwest Estates development was considered; and it was determined that certain costs that the City typically subsidizes that the devel- oper should be responsible to pay for that those costs be reimbursed at such times as intervening development can pay for those costs. Moen said certain costs, such as improvements to certain roads, may not be recoupable at such time or that may be needed as a result of increased development in the area. Moen stated that conditional zoning agree- ment with Mr. Eicher would require him to pay for certain out of sequence development costs. Moen asked Council to defer the public hearing on the ordinance to rezone the property because the agreement between the developer and the City has not been resolved. Horowitz asked if the development's costs have been placed on the City's projected three-year budget. Atkins said those costs could be considered in preparation of the three-year plan and the City could identify a line item in the third year of the Capital Improvement Program. In response to Horowitz, Traffic Engr. Brachtel said it MINUTES CITY COUNCIL INFORMAL MEETING JANUARY 12, 1988 PAGE 2 would be difficult to figure traffic lighting costs at this time and this development would probably not necessitate synchronization of the lights on Mormon Trek and Benton Street.

The building is owned by Southgate Development and Southgate Develop- ment is interested in leasing the property on a temporary basis to NCS.

Moen pre- sented ounce with over ea 'projections of the concep plan of the development known as Village Green and Village Green South. Moen I—/ MINUTES CITY COUNCIL INFORMAL MEETING JANUARY 12, 1988 PAGE 3 stated Councilmembers received copies of two plats that were consid- ered by the Planning and Zoning Commission: the first plat was en- dorsed by staff because they were allowed secondary access in continuation of the collector system, and the second plat represents a concept proposed by the developer and area residents. Moen reviewed an overhead projection of the plat representing the concensus by the developer and area residents. Moen stated the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the plat and found the proposal favorable. Moen said staff feels the proposed alignment is a departure from the col- lector street concept and affects the ability to continue that concept through the rest of the development. Larry Schnittjer, representing the developer, stated he met with representatives from the Homeowners Association at three meetings. Dan Hyduke, Village Green Homeowners Association representative, said copies of the proposed concept were distributed to all homeowners and approximately 80-90 persons had input into the proposal. Hyduke stated residents wanted to maintain the green space concept and did not want the traffic which would be generated by the collector loop. Councilmembers discussed the pro- posed plat. Hyduke said area residents feel the proposed concept is a compromise between the developer and residents. In response to Horowitz, Moen said Casey Cook had abstained from the Planning and Zoning Commission vote on this issue because he is a new Planning and Zoning Commission member and had not participated in the discussions relating to this item. Sally Dierks, Planning and Zoning Commission member, noted that the developer, residents and Planning and Zoning Commission worked tremendously hard to reach a compromise. Horowitz stated Planning and Zoning Commission member Dave Clark had contacted her regarding the City staff's response to the compromise presented by the residents and developer. Sally Dierks stated the proposed design would promote the use of Scott Boulevard and Muscatine. McDonald said discussion of this item would be continued during the formal Council meeting. Recommendation of the Planning and Zoni su ina 1.75 acre Darcel from RS. Suburban District, to Al, aurai uis- e parcel is not locaM in the area affected y the newly estab- lished policy for Area 1 of the Fringe Area Policy Agreement, and that the Planning and Zoning Commission found the request to be inconsis- tent with the development policy of Area 4. HIGHWAY 6 SIGNALS INTERCONNECTED - EXXON OVERCHARGE FUNDS: eel 88-2, Side 1 Brachtel stated the feasibility study relating to City improving traffic flow along Highway 6 with interconnected signals has been completed. Brachtel introduced Dan Cummings and representing Johnson, Brickell, Mulcahy & Associates, Inc. Z-/ 7 MINUTES CITY COUNCIL INFORMAL MEETING JANUARY 12, 1988 PAGE 4 Dan Cummings reviewed the findings of the feasibility study. Cummings said the signal system feasibility study is the first phase of a three-phase effort to develop signal system improvements along the highway. The first phase was undertaken to determine if there could be improvements in the flow and operation along the highway with coordination of the signals. Cummings explained the traffic flow was studied under the existing condi- tions and the assumed condition with signal coordination. Computer simu- lations were used in the study. Cummings said results of the study demonstrated that improvements along the highway through the eight inter- sections would have a definite positive impact to the traffic flow and would offer monetary benefits to the motoring public in terms of reduced fuel consumption, reduced vehicle wear, and reduced driving time. In response to Horowitz, Cummings said the agreement for services was dated November 16, 1987, and City staff had provided him with current traffic counts for the computer models. Cummings stated traffic was evaluated during morning, noon and evening peak hours. In response to Atkins, Cummings stated it is typical that major traffic flows are improved at the expense of minor traffic flows. Cummings said a level of service designa- tion (A through F) was assigned to each side street, taking into account how motorists perceive movement on that road. The levels of service are designated according to the Federal Highway Government Standards by stopped delay - how long you are stopped at an intersection. Cummings explained the level of service designation E is the limit of acceptable delay and level of service F is unacceptable. Cummings said 73% of the intersections stayed the same or improved in terms of the level of serv- ice, 20% dropped one level of service from C to D, and in one instance, at Boyrum Street intersection during a peak period, there would be a two drop level of service, C to E. Cummings said the assumption was made that Boyrum was a one -lane approach. In response to Courtney, Cummings said some variables, such as trains, changed the traffic flow. Horowitz sug- gested that the City contact train officials to discuss train schedules. Atkins said that if Council would agree, staff would contact the IDOT to advise that the City is interested in pursuing the grant. Brachtel said if Council wants to proceed, staff will send out equipment bids to be opened at the end of January and staff will then meet with IDOT officials to evaluate the ability of the vendors to deliver and the City to install the equipment. Brachtel said Iowa City is one of 19 cities applying for the grant monies. Courtney stated more information is needed before decisions can be made. Council agreed to proceed with the bid process while additional information is prepared for consideration.
