WHEREAS, the City's 1983 Comprehensive Plan Update is a statement of the land
use goals and policies of the comnunity; and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan growth management policy provides, with
respect to timing or sequence of development, that development should occur
only at such time as it is possible to maintain compact and contiguous growth
and to maximize efficiency of municipal services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council directed the Planning and Zoning Commission to
consider a policy that would allow development out of phase with growth
management policies recommended in the 1983 Comprehensive Plan Update; and
WHEREAS, the Commission developed the Out of Sequence Development policy set
forth in paragraph 1, below; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council have held
public meetings to receive citizen comments on the Out of Sequence Develop-
ment Policy and it has been recommended by the Planning and Zoning Comnis-
sion; and
WHEREAS, the Commission and Council find that while the Out of Sequence
Development Policy allows for development out of phase with the City's growth
management policy it approximates the efficiency of development upon which
this growth management policy is based; and
WHEREAS, these bodies have found that the Out of Sequence Development Policy
reflects the desires of the community and should be added to the goals and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY,
IOWA, THAT:
1. The following Out of Sequence Development Policy be adopted as an adden-
dum to the 1983 Comprehensive Plan Update.
From time to time, certain factors may encourage private developers
to develop tracts of land out of phase with the development sequence
determined to be appropriate for the City. Those developments will
require the extension of municipal services in a manner that is
inefficient and not anticipated in the City's capital improvements
program. In order to approximate the efficiency of development upon
which the City's growth management policy is based, out of sequence
development would be required to expend all of the casts associated
with that development,including costs typically subsidized by the
customarily paid by t
City. Costs he City may be recouped at such

Re: Out of Sequence Development: Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Pressure has recently been applied to permit development within Iowa City
out of sequence with the City's growth management policy espoused in the
1983 Comprehensive Plan Update. The Commission has evaluated this request
in terms of the fiscal consequences of permitting development out of phase
with that policy. The Commission recognizes that the sequence of develop-
ment which has been determined to be appropriate for the City is based on
the premise that areas which can accommodate the greatest population for
the least costs in capital improvements are highly developable.
If we assume the City's growth management policy continues to be valid
and, if the City wishes to allow development out of phase with that pol-
icy, out of sequence development must, therefore, achieve the same
cost/benefit balance on which the City's development sequence is based.
The following language is suggested as a means of addressing out of se-
quence development within the Comprehensive Plan. This statement could be
included as an addendum to Section IV of the 1983 Comprehensive Plan
Update which discusses development sequence (pp. 28-29 of 1983 Update).
Out of Sequence Development
From time to time, certain factors may encourage private developers to
develop tracts of land out of phase with the development sequence deter-
mined to be appropriate for the City. Those developments will require the
extension of municipal services in a manner that is inefficient and not
anticipated in the City's capital improvements program. In order to
approximate the efficiency of development upon which the City's growth
management policy is based, out of sequence development would be required
to expend all of the costs associated with that development, including
costs typically subsidized by the City. Costs customarily paid by the
City may be recouped at such time as sufficient intervening development
occurs to resemble the cost/benefit balance on which sequent development
is based.

MEMORANDUM
Date: November 5, 1987
To: Planning and Zoning Commission �/
From: Monica Moen, Associate Planner'1Vv
Re: Southwest Estates - Out of Sequence Development Costs
In a memorandum to the Commission, dated October 1, 1987, a summary of the
costs of the major anticipated improvements which will be necessary with
development of the southwest area east and west of U.S. 218 was presented.
That sumnary is included as Addendum A to this memorandum. The purpose of
this memorandum is to determine the direct benefit to Southwest Estates of
providing these capital improvements out of sequence with the development
policy adopted by the City and hence, not anticipated within the City's
current Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The equitable cost to be paid by
Southwest Estates for developing ahead of the City's capital improvements
schedule can then be derived.
The growth management policy adopted for Iowa City encourages development in
those areas which can accommodate the greatest population for the least
public cost. Development at the City's fringe is inconsistent with this
policy in that the cost of providing the infrastructure and services required
within an outlying subdivision must be subsidized by existing commercial and
residential uses until undeveloped properties separating existing and pro-
posed development are developed.
To achieve the cost/benefit balance on which the City's growth management
policy is based within fringe developments, it would be appropriate for the
developer of Southwest Estates to pay the cost of those improvements required
as a result of proposed subdivisions out of sequence with the adopted devel-
opment policy and, therefore, not anticipated within the current CIP. These
expenditures would be reimbursed by the City at such time as intervening
development occurs that is capable of supporting the cost of those improve-
ments. This arrangement would relieve existing development of the inequity of
subsidizing the opportunity for growth on the edge of the community.
With development of Southwest Estates, certain costs must be incurred immedi-
ately; roads, for example, must be provided within the subdivision and fire,
police and sanitation services must be extended to the residents of the area.
Other expenditures such as improvements to Rohret Road may not be required
immediately but can be anticipated in the short-range as more and more resi-
dents living west of U.S. 218 rely upon that roadway to access the center of
the City. Upgrading the southwest interceptor sewer will benefit the entire
southwestern part of Iowa City, a substantial portion of which is undeveloped
and not expected to develop in the short-range timeframe of the Comprehensive
Plan. Improvements to this system are, therefore, long-range in scope.
As will be shown, it is the immediate costs associated with improvements
required within a subdivision that the developer of Southwest Estates can
anticipate financing. Although some of these improvements will benefit an
area beyond Southwest Estates, these improvements are essential to the devel-
33
opment of proposed Southwest Estates subdivisions. It is, however, because
the benefits of some of these improvements will be realized by residents
outside of the Southwest Estates subdivisions that makes it appropriate to
reimburse the developer the cost of those improvements customarily subsidized
by the City.
IMMEDIATE COSTS
Infrastructure within a development that the City customarily becomes respon-
sible for maintaining includes roads, the water supply system and the sewage
disposal system. Services a subdivision looks to the City to provide include
police and fire protection and solid waste disposal. All of these services
must be available with development of the first lot within the subdivision.
Street Improvements: The proposed development of Southwest Estates will
require provisions for secondary access for the convenience and safety of the
residents of the development. The means of secondary access that would offer
the greatest assurance to Southwest Estates residents in the event blockages
occur on Rohret Road east of the Phoenix Drive/Rohret Road intersection would
be via Slothower Road north of its intersection with Phoenix Drive extended.
It is anticipated that, with development of the southwest area, an arterial
link between Melrose Avenue and Rohret Road would be needed to assist in
circulating traffic generated by the potential development. Slothower Road
is expected to function in this capacity as development west of U.S. 218
warrants a route, in addition to Rohret Road and Melrose Avenue, to carry
traffic to and from this area.
While the appropriate alignment of this arterial street has not been deter-
mined, it is anticipated that either Slothower Road from Rohret Road to
Melrose Avenue will serve this purpose or that Phoenix Drive and Slothower
Road north of its intersection with Phoenix Drive will be designed and con-
structed to secondary arterial street standards. In anticipation of this
alternative, 60 feet of right-of-way for Phoenix Drive has been dedicated in
Southwest Estates, Parts 1 and 2, and the paving, at the developer's expense,
has been increased from standard local street width of 28 feet to 31 feet.
Concept plans for the future development of Southwest Estates show an exten-
sion of Phoenix Drive to its intersection with Slothower Road at a right-of-
way width of 60 feet. While proposed development within Southwest Estates
will rely upon Phoenix Drive, the need for overwidth pavement on this street
is precipitated by the need for a collector street through this tract to
facilitate the circulation of traffic generated by residents of the southwest
area west of U.S. 218. In conformance with the cost/benefit policy referred
to above, the cost of overwidth paving, estimated to be $16,000, would be
initially financed by the developer but reimbursed by the City as future
development of the southwest area occurs.
Secondary access to Southwest Estates, as noted, should be provided by means
of Slothower Road from its intersection with Phoenix Drive to Melrose Avenue.
The immediate need for a means of secondary access is to assure that emer-
gency vehicles can access the development and to offer an alternate route of
getting to and from Southwest Estates subdivisions in the event Rohret Road
is impassable east of its intersection with Phoenix Drive.
T
33
Without upgrading Slothower Road, this roadway could not accommodate, on a
daily basis, the amount of traffic anticipated with development of Southwest
Estates. In the interim during which secondary access is needed to assure the
safety of Southwest Estates residents, until improvements to Slothower Road
are justified to facilitate traffic circulation in the area, breakaway
bollards should be placed on Phoenix Drive at the point of intersection with
Slothower Road to enable emergency access but to prevent routine traffic
circulation. These bollards are for the direct benefit of Southwest Estates
residents in that they allow access in emergency situations and are, there-
fore, nonreimbursable expenses associated with subdivision of that tract. The
cost of breakaway bollards at the Phoenix Drive/Slothower Road intersection
is estimated to be $5,000.
Water Service: Oversized water mains are required within Southwest Estates
to provide water service within the development and to permit the extension
of municipal water service to undeveloped properties abutting this develop-
ment. Oversized water mains, like overwidth pavement, are usually subsidized
by the City because the usefulness of these improvements advances beyond the
immediate needs of the residents of the proposed subdivision. Until inter-
vening development occurs, however, only a limited number of people reap the
benefit of these oversized improvements at the expense of existing develop-
ment that does not directly benefit by these services. Consistent with the
City's development policy to encourage development in areas which can accom-
modate the greatest population for the least cost in capital improvements,
the developer of Southwest Estates should advance the cost of oversized water
mains within the development, to be paid back as intervening development
occurs that benefits by the presence of oversized water mains in the area.
The cost of oversized main within Southwest Estates is estimated at $36,800.
Sewer Service: Two issues arise when contemplating the immediate sewer
service needs of Southwest Estates and the impact of development of this
tract on the capacity of the sewer system serving the southwest area. First,
the appropriate method of sewage disposal must be identified and secondly the
developer's responsibility for compensating for the use of sewer capacity
reserved for development east of U.S. 218 must be analyzed.
While a portion of the 85 acre tract under consideration can be served via
gravity by the municipal sewer system, it was established in the October 1,
1987 memorandum to the Commission that the entire RR -1 zoned portion of the
parcel should be served by a lift station. Because the maintenance require-
ments of lift stations are not cost effective to a City if such a system
serves only a few properties, it was further recommended that a lift station
be installed that is capable of serving the entire area within the corporate
limits which is zone RR -1 and the remainder of the developer's tract which is
located outside the corporate limits but which drains toward the subject
tract. The lift station should be of sufficient capacity to permit develop-
ment of this property for single-family residential uses at urban densities.
While the developer would be responsible for the entire immediate cost of
installation of this system (approximately $150,000), the developer could
negotiate the cost of the system with the property owners west of Slothower
Road who would benefit by the presence of a lift station of sufficient capac-
ity to meet their needs. The option of establishing a sewer district to
finance installation and maintenance of this system could also be explored.
KK
Development of the southwestern portion of the City is constrained by limita-
tions within the trunk sewer system serving that area of the City. A bottle-
neck situation effectively limits the sewage capacity of the system such that
the entire 438 acres of undeveloped land which would rely on this segment of
the system could only develop at a rate of two people per acre or approxi-
mately one dwelling unit per acre. Due to this limitation, the Comprehensive
Plan recommends that residential development be confined to areas east of
218. At an
average
zone), the first100wacresgofnlandit edevelnsity of 5dwelling units
oped westof U.S 218 would in
re
(RS-5in
effect restrict development of unplatted/undeveloped property located east of
the highway. Therefore, for development of land out of sequence with the
development policy of the Comprehensive Plan or for development of this land
at a density greater than that recommended in the Plan, funds should be
escrowed for the first 100 acres of unplatted land west of U.S. 218 which is
subdivided for residential use at urban densities. These funds would allow
installation of the improvements needed to relieve the constraint that re-
stricts development. At an estimated cost of $64,000 to upgrade the 10 inch
line which limits the capacity of the sewer system, the prorata cost for each
of the first 100 acres platted west of U.S. 218 would be about $640. Because
improvements to this trunk sewer system would benefit many residents of the
southwest area, funds advanced by developers for these improvements would be
repaid as development in the southwest area progressed.
Police, Fire, Emergency and Sanitation Services: Although it's recognized
that the average cost of providing these services to outlying developments
will increase to support the additional mileage costs, it is difficult to
assess the increment of cost particularly since services are already being
provided to the limited number of residents currently living within the
Southwest Estates development. As development progresses, however, the
average cost will decrease. In the interim, providing these services to this
area will be subsidized by existing development.
SHORT-RANGE COSTS (10 YEARS OR LESS)
Rohret Road: The portion of the southwest area west of U.S. 218 was not
expected to fully develop in the 15 year timeframe of the short-range element
of the Comprehensive Plan. Although the City's capital improvements program
provides for improvements to Rohret Road from its intersection with Mormon
Trek Boulevard westerly to the U.S. 218 bridge, the CIP did not anticipate
either development of the southwest area at the density requested by the
subject proposal or the development of other unplatted/undeveloped land that
may be spurred by development of Southwest Estates. Consequently, further
roadway
ro emeve year ts needtimeframeed

While immediate improvements to Rohret Road are not expected to be necessary,
as development of the southwest area west of U.S. 218 progresses, Rohret Road
will have to be upgraded to accommodate traffic generated by that develop-
ment. The bulk of the cost of Rohret Road improvements would be financed by
Special Assessment. Additional costs such as those associated with overwidth
pavement would be borne by way of General Obligation Bonds which are retired
by taxes generated on all property within the community. However, because a

which is not directly affected by these improvements will be relieved by the
taxes generated by development that will more directly benefit by Rohret Road
improvements.
Rohret Road/Mormon Trek Intersection Improvements: Traffic generated by
development of the western portion of the southwest area is expected, at some
point, to require the signalization and widening of the intersection of
Mormon Trek Boulevard and Rohret Road to accommodate turning movements to
facilitate the circulation of traffic on these roadways. These improvements
are expected to benefit not only residents of currently undeveloped land west
of Mormon Trek Boulevard but to remedy congestion anticipated on Mormon Trek
Boulevard as a result of increased traffic turning from Mormon Trek and
accessing development to the west. The $170,000 anticipated cost of these
improvements will be borne City-wide.
LONG-RANGE COSTS (MORE THAN 10 YEARS)
Certain improvements are expected to be long-range in scope. The need for
these improvements are not anticipated until some paint between half and full
development of the area west of U.S. 218.
Rohret Road Bridge Sidewalk: Pedestrian circulation in the southwest area
will be impeded by lack of a walkway along the Rohret Road bridge which spans
U.S. 218. To assure pedestrian safety, a sidewalk will need to be installed
adjacent to the bridge to link residents with schools, parks and other serv-
ices located east of the highway. This facility would most likely be funded
through General Obligation Bonds.
Water Service Improvements: To assure adequate amounts of water pressure and
volume to residents living within the western portion of the southwest area,
improvements to the municipal water supply system serving this area will be
required. While these improvements are not expected to be needed with ini-
tial development of the area even at the City's margins, with increased
development, the need for looping the system to assure residents of a con-
stant water source or to construct a water reservoir in the area will also
increase. These costs are long-range in scope, however, and are typically
financed by the City.
Sewer Service Improvements: Restrictions within the interceptor sewer serv-
ing the southwest area limit the extent to which sewer service can be pro-
vided in this area. Improvements to this system would increase the
development potential of unplatted land located within the major service area
of this sewer. Because of the extent of benefit precipitated by these im-
provements, the City as a whole will be expected to bear the costs of upgrad-
ing this system.
SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURES
Development out of sequence with the growth management policy of the City
should be expected to pay for the cost of all improvements required by that
development. Otherwise, the opportunity for growth on the edge of the commu-
nity inconsistent with that growth management policy would have to be borne
by existing development at a rate not anticipated in the Comprehensive Plan.

SUMMARY OF ANTICIPATED IMPROVEMENTS
Presented below is a summary of the major anticipated improvements which will
be necessary with the development of the southwest area east and west of U.S.
218. Although not all of these improvements will be required immediately for
Southwest Estates to develop, the improvements will be necessary sooner than
the City has planned for them in the allocation of resourcesof r capital
improvements. With development of the extremity of the area, there will be
a time when these improvements will be required and the cost, if met in the
usual manner, will be borne by existing development subsidizing the opportu-
nity for growth on the edge of the community.
In the table, Alternate A represents the total costs based on Slothower Road
being the accepted alignment for a north/south corridor between Melrose

MEMORANDUM

To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Monica Moen, Associate PlannerW�
Re: Out of Sequence Development Costs - Reimbursement Mechanism
The reimbursement mechanism recommended for out of sequence development
assumes the continued validity of two public policies:
(1) the growth management policy identified in the 1983 Comprehensive
Plan Update which establishes a short-range development sequence
(1983-1998) for residential growth in Iowa City and a long-range
development sequence (beyond 1998), and
(2) the policy that the City pays the cost of overwidth and/or oversized
infrastructure within a development.
Within the framework of these existing policies, then, development of a
tract out of phase with the City's adopted development policy would
require the developer to subsidize the cost of development beyond the
costs typically financed by a developer in order to approximate the
equitable and efficient provision of the infrastructure and service
network on which the City's development policy hinges.
With regard to Southwest Estates, in particular, if the developer chooses
to develop out of sequence with the City's development policy, the cost
associated with overwidth and oversized infrastructure needed within the
development would be reimbursed as intervening development between
Hunter's Run and Southwest Estates is complete, but not before 1998.
Property taxes generated by this intervening development would be utilized
to reimburse the developer for improvements within Southwest Estates that
are not required exclusively as a—r- ult f the subdivi ion of that
particular tract.

MEMORANDUM
Date: November 19, 1987
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Monica Moen, Associate Planner
Re: Southwest Estates
The purpose of this memorandum is to respond to questions raised by Com-
mission members at the Commission's informal meeting on Monday, November
2, 1987, regarding (a) development costs for existing and proposed subdi-
visions of Southwest Estates beyond those costs normally associated with
development of a tract of land, (b) the estimated assessment to property
owners for improvements to Rohret Road, and (c) the impact of extension of
sewer services to Southwest Estates on residents living outside of this
development.
Out of Sequence Development Costs
With approval of the plat for Southwest Estates, Part 2, the developer
agreed to pay the entire cost of overwidth paving on Phoenix Drive, the
extension of oversized watermains from Hunter's Run Subdivision to South-
west Estates, and placement of oversized watermains within the develop-
ment. The total cost of these improvements is estimated as follows:
Overwidth paving - Phoenix Drive (1,550 ft.) $ 8,401.00
Oversized watermain extended from Hunter's Run $30,937.50
Subdivision to Southwest Estates
Oversized watermain within Southwest Estates $20,125.00
(1,750 ft.)
TOTAL
$59,463.50
As noted in a memorandum to the Commission dated November 5, 1987,
$42,352.50 or 71 percent of these costs have been expended to date.
Another memorandum to the Commission, also dated November 5, 1987, identi-
fied $271,800 in improvements which are expected to be needed with the
proposed subdivision of 84.73 additional acres within Southwest Estates
and which are in addition to the subdivision improvements customarily
financed by the developer of a tract. Forty-three (43) percent of the
cost of these improvements ($116,800) were determined to -be reimbursable
to the Southwest Estates developer with subsequent development of land
west of U.S. 218.
Taking into consideration the financial commitment associated with devel-
opment of Southwest Estates, Part 2, ($59,463.50) and development costs of
future subdivision of this tract ($271,800), the total out of sequence
33
development cost for existing and proposed Southwest Estates Subdivision
is $331,263.50; $116,800 of these costs, or about 35 percent, would be
recoupable as future development west of U.S. 218 occurs.
Rohret Road Improvements - Estimated Assessment
Roadway improvements within the City are typically financed by assessing
the cost of those improvements to property owners with land adjacent to
the road right-of-way and to a depth of 300 feet from the right-of-way.
While the width of pavement for a local street is generally 28 feet,
Rohret Road is expected, at some time, to be paved to a 31 foot, collector
road width to accommodate traffic anticipated within the area. Adjacent
property owners would be assessed the cost of paving the street to local
street standards (about $60/lineal foot of lot frontage in today's dol-
lars); the balance of the costs would be financed by the City as a whole.
The individual assessments may be amortized over a ten year period. In a
resolution dated April 8, 1986, the City Council established the policy
that no public improvements would be made to either Rohret Road west of
U.S. 218 or Slothower Road before 1998. A copy of that resolution is
attached.
Sewer Service Extension
Commission members expressed concern regarding the impact of extension of
municipal sewer service to Southwest Estates on established residential
uses in the area. More particularly, the Commission queried whether
extension of the sewer to Southwest Estates would place existing develop-
ment south of Rohret Road within 300 feet of the proposed system and
obligate those property owners to connect to the system.
Section 33-17 of the Municipal Code states that "[t]he owners of abutting
property shall connect their premises to the city public sewer system when
the public sewer system is within three hundred (300) feet of such abut-
ting property." Although the sewer system proposed for Southwest Estates
may be within 300 feet of property south of Rohret Road, these properties
are separated from the sewer system by Rohret Road and do not abut the
land served by the system. Connection to the system, therefore, would not
be required.
Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or need addi-
tional information.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 1, 1987
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Monica Moen, Associate Planner 11V�1u/
Re: Z-8103. Southwest Estates
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Commission will recall that on May 6, 1987, Frank Eicher, owner of a
tract of land in southwest Iowa City known as Southwest Estates, submitted an
application to rezone approximately 85 acres of the tract from ID -RS, Interim
Development Single -Family Residential, and RR -1, Rural Residential, to RS -5,
Low Density Single -Family Residential.
In a report to the Commission, dated May 21, 1987, staff explained that a
portion of the tract is zoned RR -1 since the provision of gravity flow mu-
nicipal sewer service to the area is not anticipated due to topographic
constraints. Instead, areas zoned RR -1 are expected to develop at a rural
density of one dwelling unit per acre and the policy of the City has been
that these areas would rely on septic systems or private treatment plants for
sewage disposal.
The ID -RS zone is a zone in which the immediate development of land is not
anticipated in the Comprehensive Plan. The delay in development is due to
the infeasibility of extending municipal services, primarily sewer service,
to these areas within the short-range timeframe of the Plan. As developments
expand to reach these outlying tracts and as municipal services may be effi-
ciently extended to service these areas, the properties currently zoned ID -RS
are intended to develop for single-family residential uses at urban densities
(RS -5, RS -8 or RS -12 zones).
In a letter dated January 29, -1987, Mr. Eicher expressed a desire to rezone
his property to RS -5 "...so that it may be more cost effective to extend
sanitary sewer service to Southwest Estates from the existing sewer line that
serves the Johnson County Care Facility." To date, Mr. Eicher has borne the
entire cost of extending oversized water mains to serve existing Southwest
Estates subdivisions and has also paid for overwidth pavement within the
subdivisions. Oversized water mains and overwidth pavement are usually
subsidized by the City. If his property is rezoned RS -5, Mr. Eicher intends
to extend the municipal sanitary sewer service to Southwest Estates at no
expense to the City and is receptive to paying for oversized water mains and
overwidth pavement within the proposed development.
At its May 21, 1987, meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
denial of this rezoning request based on the fact that the requested rezoning
is contrary to the Comprehensive Plan development policy for the area. The
Commission suggested that consideration of the development policy for the
southwest area be done in conjunction with the upcoming review of the Compre-
hensive Plan. Subsequently, after a joint meeting with the Planning and
Zoning Commission, the Council directed the Commission to proceed with con-
sideration of this rezoning request prior to the periodic update of the Plan.
The purpose of this memorandum is to identify and evaluate the consequences
of permitting development of a tract out of sequence with the existing devel-
opment policy recommended in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
ANALYSIS
A comprehensive plan is an official document adopted by a local government as
a policy guide to decisions about the physical development of a community. It
is comprehensive in that it plans for a city as a whole, rather than for one
or several of its component functions such as wa er supply and distribution,
vehicular and pedestrian traffic, or police and fire protection. This plan
is generally long-range in scope in that it looks beyond the foreground of
pressing current issues to the perspective of future issues and possibili-
ties. The comprehensive plan is intended to identify land uses within a
community and designate the appropriate sequence of development to avoid
overloading existing and planned public facilities and services. This plan
provides a framework in which to program and budget for capital improvements
to accommodate existing and proposed development.
While the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan indicates that much of the southwest
area, including Southwest Estates, will develop for residential uses within
the long-range, the Plan shows Southwest Estates as an area which should not
fully develop in the short-range. In determining the efficiency of develop-
ment of various undeveloped parts of Iowa City, the Comprehensive Plan con-
siders factors such as proximity of the undeveloped areas to the core of
existing development, the availability of schools, parks and other municipal
services such as police and fire protection and public transit, the availa-
bility of adequate sewer capacity, and the traffic capability of existing
roadway systems. Each area of the City is evaluated in the context of those
factors. The Plan envisions that areas where development can take place more
efficiently, in terms of the provision of municipal services, should develop
first. In determining the appropriate sequence of development for the city,
the Plan assumes that areas which can accommodate the greatest population for
the least cost in ca ital im rovements are highly developable. As the May
21, 1987, staff report in icates, the portion of Southwest Estates zoned
ID -RS which physically will be able to develop with urban services was deter-
mined to be inappropriate for inmediate development due to 1) its distance
from the central service provider, 2) the lack of public facilities in the
area, and 3) the impact development in this area will have on sewer capacity
in other developable areas to the east.
Sequencing development is a growth management technique that allows a city to
anticipate and to phase the expenditure of funds to provide the capital
improvements and municipal services needed to accommodate new development.
The growth management plan for Iowa City assumes that out of sequence devel-
opment is more costly to the City and to current city residents than sequent
development. Clearly, the longer the sewer and water lines and the greater
the distances which must be traveled by road maintenance equipment, refuse
trucks, school busses, police, fire and emergency vehicles, the more expen-
sive these services are if any undeveloped properties separate existing and
proposed development. The development sequence for the southwest area is
based on this policy of maximizing efficiency in the provision of municipal
services.
The following section of this report looks at the consequences of allowing
the immediate development of Southwest Estates at the residential density
permitted in the RS -5 zone. The impact of that development in the context of
the development policies of the 1983 Comprehensive Plan Update and the subse-
quent commitments that will be required of the City in its capital improve-
ments program are considered.
Sewer Availability
The concept plan for the future subdivision of approximately 85 acres of the
150 -acre Southwest Estates tract reveals the applicant's intention to provide
municipal sewer service to the portion of the tract zoned I0 -RS as well as to
a part of the tract zoned RR -1. The remaining part of the tract which is
located within the Iowa City corporate limits is proposed to be served via a
lift station which would pump sewage into the municipal system.
The area zoned RR -1 is in a watershed which flows to the west and south, away
from Iowa City's sewer system. This area cannot physically develop at urban
densities without a lift station, a private treatment system, or the instal-
lation of inordinately deep sewer lines which would transport sewage via
gravity to the existing municipal sewer system. With the RR -1 zoning desig-
nation already in place, the applicant could develop the area at the rural
residential density of one dwelling unit per acre. Most likely, individual
septic systems or a private treatment system would be employed to dispose of
sewage.
Because the applicant proposes to sewer a portion of the RR -1 zoned part of
the tract via the municipal sewer system, it would be necessary to place
those lines at a depth sufficiently greater than is customary in order to
have the sewage flow via gravity to the City sewage collection system.
Maintenance of these lines would be difficult and costly.
The soils prevalent within Southwest Estates have been classified by the Soil
Conservation Service to have severe limitations for septic systems with
conventional lateral fields because of their slow percolation rate and char-
acteristically high groundwater table. Slowly percolating soils may cause
sewage effluent to breach to the surface of the ground and/or back up into
indoor plumbing systems. In addition, the high water table may cause ground-
water contamination.
While the maintenance requirements of lift stations are not cost effective to
a City if such a system serves only a few properties, that system is more
efficient if a large area is served. To alleviate the maintenance problems
associated with inordinately deep sewer lines and the potential health haz-
ards created by the use of septic systems in soils ill-suited for those
systems, the applicant should consider the use of a lift station of suffi-
cient capacity to serve the entire part of his tract which is zoned RR -1 as
well as the property immediately west of Slothower Road which is located
within the corporate limits and which drains toward the subject tract.
Sewage from this entire area would then be pumped to the collection lines
304
leading to the City's sewage treatment plant. This analysis, however, has
not taken into consideration the City's ability to serve this area by the
municipal sewer system.
Due to limitations of the sewer system within the southwestern portion of the
City, the Comprehensive Plan recommends that residential development be
confined to areas east of U.S. 218. Development of the southwestern portion
of Iowa City is constrained by limitations within the trunk sewer system
within that area of the City. The capability of an 18 -inch sewer line is
limited by a 10 -inch trunk line at the point of hook-up. A bottleneck situa-
tion is created which effectively limits the sewage capacity of the system.
Although sewage from approximately 438 acres of undeveloped land could natu-
rally drain to the 10 -inch trunk line, due to this constraint, this line has
the ability to accommodate development at only two people per acre (or ap-
proximately one dwelling unit per acre) for the entire southwest area. In
addition, while not all land within the southwest area is within the service
area of the 10 -inch line, the area served by the 10 -inch line and other
portions of the southwest area do rely on the capabilities of the Southwest
Interceptor Sewer to transport sewage. Restrictions within this interceptor
also limit the amount of sewer service that can be provided. If Southwest
Estates is allowed to develop at urban densities, not only does it hinder the
ability to develop other properties within the service area of the 10 -inch
line, but it could diminish the ability of the interceptor system to accommo-
date sewage generated by existing and proposed developments east of U.S. 218
and the Hunters Run Subdivision immediately west of U.S. 218 (see Appendix
B.2, 1983 Update). If development elsewhere in the southwest area is not to
be restricted, approval of this rezoning request would escalate the need for
the City to make the improvements needed within the municipal sewer system to
provide sewer services to the southwest area.
Costs for construction of sewer lines within a development are borne by the
developer. The costs of increasing the sizes of or upgrading a trunk or
interceptor sewer, however, are generally financed by the City through bonds
which are retired by sewer fees. It is estimated that upgrading the 10 -inch
trunk line to eliminate the constraints in sewer capacity it causes would
cost $64,000. Needed improvements to the Southwest Interceptor system are
expected to cost $160,000.
Although operational costs of the sewer system are paid through user fees,
until full development of the area which is out of sequence with a commu-
nity's development policy occurs, the lion's share of the cost of operating a
system to the out of sequence area must be subsidized by existing commercial
and residential users who do not directly benefit by the installation of that
new system.
Based on the assumption that out of sequence development is more costly to a
city and its residents than phased development, the growth management poli-
cies of the 1983 Comprehensive Plan Update discourage development west of
U.S. 218 at this time. Allocations for improvements to the sewage system
serving the southwest area are, therefore, not proposed within the timeframe
of the current five-year Capital Improvements Program (CIP).
t3ft
As stated, development of Southwest Estates at urban densities would acceler-
ate the need for approximately $224,000 in improvements to the municipal
sewer system. Until that development and the development of intervening
undeveloped areas are complete, the burden of financing those improvements
falls upon the City and existing developed portions of the community.
Water Service
At the applicant's expense, an oversized water main has been extended from
the Hunters Run Subdivision, located immediately west of the U.S. 218 right-
of-way, to the existing Southwest Estates subdivision. This 12 -inch main is
a segment of a looped system which will serve the southwest area. The loop
is expected to be created with the extension of the main northwesterly from
Phoenix Drive, north along Slothower Road to the main located along Melrose
Avenue. The purpose of this looped system is to provide an adequate amount
of water pressure and volume to residents living within the western portion
of the southwest area.
While a portion of the cost of the oversized water mains is generally borne
by the City, the City's policy has been to discourage the development of
subdivisions inconsistent with the growth management policies of the Compre-
hensive Plan. Therefore, with approval of the plats for the existing South-
west Estates subdivisions, the developer was required to pay the full cost of
the extension of an oversized water main through these subdivisions.
Continued development of the western portion of the southwest area precip-
itates the need to implement the looped system in order to provide sufficient
water pressures and volumes within this area. The cost of creating this loop
by extending the water main from the intersection of Phoenix Drive and
Slothower Road north to Melrose Avenue is expected to be $64,800. This
expense is not anticipated in the City's current Capital Improvements Pro-
gram.
Street Improvements
In conjunction with the scheduled update of the Comprehensive Plan, provi-
sions for a secondary arterial street to serve the southwest area are being
studied. It is anticipated that, with development of the southwest area, an
arterial street, in addition to Melrose Avenue, will be required to circulate
traffic generated by the potential development. Major public expenditures
for the improvement of streets outside the proposed subdivision is another
City service, however, which was not planned for this area in the short-range
timeframe of the Plan and the corresponding Capital Improvements Plan.
While a portion of Slothower Road is expected to function as a secondary
arterial street within the southwest area, the appropriate alignment of this
arterial street has not been determined. If Slothower Road, from Rohret Road
to Melrose Avenue, is regarded as the most suitable alignment, it is esti-
mated the cost of improving this roadway to urban design standards would be
$783,000. On the other hand, if Phoenix Drive is expected to serve as a
portion of this arterial street system, the cost of improving Slothower Road
from its intersection with Phoenix Drive north to Melrose Avenue would be
$296,000.
Although the Capital Improvements Program provides for improvements to Rohret
Road from its intersection with Melrose Avenue westerly to the U.S. 218
bridge, the CIP did not anticipate development of the southwest area at the
density requested by the proposal at hand. Consequently, further roadway
improvements needed to accommodate this development were not scheduled within
the five year timeframe of the CIP.
Traffic generated by development of the western portion of the southwest area
is expected to accelerate the need for signalizing and widening the intersec-
tion of Melrose Avenue and Rohret Road to accommodate turning movements and
to facilitate the circulation of traffic on these roadways. Signalizing the
intersection is expected to cost $20,000; widening the intersection to fa-
cilitate turning traffic would cost approximately $150,000.
Rohret Road, in its existing condition, is incapable of serving the amount of
traffic that can be expected to be generated by residential development of
the southwest area at urban densities. Upgrading Rohret Road to urban stan-
dards from the U.S. 218 bridge to Slothower Road would cost approximately
$917,000. If Phoenix Drive is to function as a segment of the secondary
arterial street system for the southwest area, improvements to Rohret Road
from the bridge to its intersection with Phoenix Drive would cost about
$558,000.
While improvements to Rohret Road would include provisions for a sidewalk to
accommodate pedestrian traffic, pedestrian circulation would be impeded by
the lack of a walkway along the Rohret Road bridge which spans U.S. 218. To
assure pedestrian safety, a sidewalk would have to be installed adjacent to
the bridge which would link residents with schools, parks, and other services
located east of U.S. 218. Due to the type of crosswalk which would have to
be constructed over a U.S, highway, the cost of the sidewalk would be ap-
proximately $190,000.
Depending upon the alignment of the secondary arterial serving the southwest
area, development of the southwest area at urban densities at this time would
expedite the need to implement between $1,214,000 and $2,060,000 in roadway
improvements west of U.S. Highway 218.
Fire and Emergency Services
Development of the southwest area out of sequence with the growth management
policies of the Comprehensive Plan may require considerable capital expendi-
ture in order to maintain the Fire Department's average response time to a
fire or emergency call at 3.5 minutes. The rate and intensity of development
west of U.S. 218 will determine the extent to which capital commitments in
the way of additional equipment and/or relocation of the Westside Fire Sta-
tion will have to be made in order to maintain this standard of service.
While a portion of the capital and operational costs of fire and emergency
services provided by the City is financed by the University, approximately
70% of the costs are funded by property taxes. Until the area west of U.S.
218 is completely developed, the costs of providing these services to this
area will have to be subsidized by existing development or the level of
service provided to the area will be less than the expected urban level of
service.
m
Refuse Removal and Street Maintenance
The capital and operational expenditures for refuse removal and street main-
tenance are supported by monthly service charges to residential users. Pres-
ently, these services are being provided to the existing residences within
the Southwest Estates subdivisions and along Rohret Road. While average
costs to service out of sequence development will increase slightly to sup-
port the additional mileage costs, additional costs due to distance decreases
as development progresses since "gaps" between refuse pickups no longer exist
and more households are present to support the street maintenance service.
The economies of scale collapse, however, if the new development requires
that additional equipment be purchased and more personnel be hired in order
to serve the area.
Transit
Operational costs are financed through fares, property taxes, a special
transit levy, parking fees, and through state and federal grants. Experience
has shown that transit routes to low density, outlying areas of the City are
costly in that fare receipts only pay for approximately one-fifth of the cost
of that service. With increased density of development and as intervening
tracts develop, it becomes more feasible to provide transit services to the
margins of the City. Until that development occurs, however, it may not be
cost effective to provide this service to areas which have developed out of
sequence with the development policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Schools
The 1983 Comprehensive Plan Update indicates that no elementary school sites
are designated with the southwest area. This is in recognition of a School
Board policy, based upon expected declines in elementary school enrollment
and the need to reassign some neighborhoods to alternate elementary schools,
to maintain the viability of existing facilities and to increase overall
operational efficiency within the Iowa City school system. Because some
existing elementary facilities are presently below capacity, it is expected
that shifts would be made within existing schools to accommodate elementary
school -aged children residing in future developments west of U.S. 218.
While capital expenditures such as new school construction is not anticipated
with urban development of the southwest area west of U.S. 218, operational
expenses associated with bussing students to existing schools can be expected
to increase. The school system is obligated by state law to provide bussing
to elementary- and high school -aged students whose homes are a certain dis-
tance from the schools they attend. Increasing the development density of
the southwest area out of sequence with the City's development policy for
that area may require the school system to evaluate existing load distribu-
tions and to either reroute busses as needed or, if necessary, to contract
for the use of additional busses to serve the area.
SUMMARY OF ANTICIPATED IMPROVEMENTS
Presented below is a summary of the major anticipated improvements which will
be necessary with the development of the southwest area east and west of U.S.
218. Although not all of these improvements will be required immediately for
Southwest Estates to develop, the improvements will be necessary sooner than
T
V
D
the City has planned for them in the allocation of resources for capital
improvements. With development of the extremity of the area, there will be
a time when these improvements will be required and the cost, if met in the
usual manner, will be borne by existing development subsidizing the opportu-
nity for growth on the edge of the community.
In the table, Alternate A represents the total costs based on Slothower Road
being the accepted alignment for a north/south corridor between Melrose
Avenue and Rohret Road. Alternate B is based on Phoenix Drive being part of
the north/south corridor.
While extension of utilities to an undeveloped tract at the developer's
expense and payment of overwidth paving and oversized mains defray part of
the cost to the City of out of sequence development, there are other services
that a City must provide to that development that cannot be efficiently
provided. The cost of these services, unless subsidized by the developer,
are passed along to other residents of the community until such time as that
area and intervening tracts are developed and can support the cost of those
services. While over time, urban growth with a proper mix of commercial,
industrial and residential uses pays for itself, in a period of relatively
slow growth, it is likely to be many years before a development developed out
of phase with a city's growth management policy is fully developed and pro-
ducing the revenues for the City which may result in its paying for itself.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

the cost to the City of out of sequence development, there are other services
that a City must provide to that development that cannot be efficiently
provided. The cost of these services, unless subsidized by the developer,

ANALYSIS
Background
Frank Eicher, owner of a tract of land in southwest Iowa City known as South-
west Estates, has submitted an application to rezone an 84 acre tract from
ID -RS, interim development residential single-family, and RR -1, rural resi-
dential, to RS -5, residential single-family.
ape
RS -5 is the least dense urban residential zone, permitting approximately five
dwelling units/acre. It is widely used and represents the predominant low-
density single-family character of the community. RR -1 is the only rural
residential category, permitting development at a rural density of one dwell-
ing unit/acre. It is used only in those areas in which the provision of
gravity flow municipal sewer service is not anticipated due to topographic
constraints. Areas zoned RR -1 will develop at a low rural density and rely
on septic systems or private treatment plants and on private water supplies
in most instances. The IO -RS zone is a zone in which the immediate develop-
ment of the land was not anticipated in the Comprehensive Plan. The delay in
development is due to the infeasibility of extending services, primarily
sewer service, to these areas in the short term of the Plan. Properties
zoned 10 -RS are intended to develop at urban densities (RS -5, RS -8, or RS -12)
when services become available and when existing development has grown to
reach them.
Comorehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan shows Southwest Estates as an area which should not
fully develop in the short-range. To determine the efficiency of development
of various undeveloped parts of Iowa City, factors such as proximity to the
core of existing development, the availability of schools and parks, and the
availability of adequate sewer capacity were considered and each area was
evaluated in the context of these factors. The idea was that the most effi-
cient development, in terms of the provision of municipal services, should
develop first. The portion of Southwest Estates zoned ID -RS which physically
will be able to develop with urban services was determined to be inappropri-
ate for immediate development due to 1) its distance from the central service
provider, 2) the lack of public facilities in the area, and 3) the impact
development in this area would have on sewer capacity in other developable
areas to the east. The remaining part of Southwest Estates, zoned RR -1,
cannot physically develop at urban densities without a lift station for the
sewer, private treatment systems or inordinately deep sewers which could
create maintenance problems. This area is in a watershed which flows to the
west and south away from Iowa City's sewer system.
Previous Commission Discussion
On February 17, 1987, Mr. Eicher presented a letter to the Commission re-
questing that the area zoned ID -RS east of the platted portions of Southwest
Estates on Phoenix Drive be considered for rezoning from ID -RS to RS -5.
Consideration of that request would require amendment of the Comprehensive
Plan as would consideration of the request at hand. The Commission informed
Mr. Eicher's representative that amendment of the plan relative to Southwest
Estates would be given priority in the general update of the plan to be done
in the winter of '87-'88, but that consideration of the change would not be
addressed immediately.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends that the requested rezoning for Southwest Estates be
deferred pending consideration of the Comprehensive Plan update.

Re: Request for consideration of an amendment to the Iowa City Comprehensive
Plan, that would allow for further development of Southwest Estates.
Dear Karin:
In accordance with our discussions on January 26th, 1987, Seville Corporation is
respectfully requesting that serious consideration be given to an amendment to the
Iowa City Comprehensive Plan that would allow additional development of the Southwest
Estates Subdivision(s). Specifically, Seville Corporation's request for the
amendment, is to facilitate a desire to acquire RS -5 Zoning in lieu of the current
RR -1 Zoning for that portion of Southwest Estates lying East of Phoenix Drive, and RS-
R Zoning in lieu of at least a portion of the current ID -RS Zoning.
The RS -5 Zoning is desired so that it may be more cost effective to extend
sanitary sewer service to Southwest Estates from the existing sewer line that serves
the Johnson County Care Facility. If the amendment is approved, It Is intended that
the sanitary sewer extension will be installed by Seville Corporation, at no cost to
the City of Iowa City, and that in addition to serving the future addition(s), the
sewer line Is intended to be designed to serve a portion of the lots in Parts One
and Two.
Seville Corporation is aware of the usual arguments against a request of this
nature, le "leap -frog development" and "inordinate costs for services incurred by the
City due to non-contiguous development", 'however, they would like to remind the
Commission and Council, that, to date, all improvements for Southwest Estates
Subdivisions have been provided without the usual "City" contributions for overwidth
pavement or oversize watermalns. The only 'costs' currently Incurred by the City are
for refuse pick-up, police patrol, and street maintenance. These services are
currently provided for the residents along Rhoret Road as far West as Southwest
Estates. Additional development and increased revenue should make these services more
cost effective.
Seville Corporation Is aware that there arc currently some number of platted lots
available In the Western portion of Iowa City, and that there are several sizable
undeveloped tracts in the West Side Area. Seville Corporation also believes that the
values of these tracts have been unfairly Inflated by Intentionally excluding other
properties from being developed, further contributing to the cost of housing in Iowa
City, Each of us can make our own projections as to when Iowa City might be
reasonably expected to grow into the undeveloped areas. However, there are many
factors that Influence the actual growth patterns that are very difficult to project.
Iowa City's current zoning ordinance was prepared to provide for generally smaller,
M
Page :2

ATTR: Karin Franklin, Sr. Planner
and presumably less costly lots. However, a significant portion of the current
housing demand appears to be for larger lots for the "move -up" home buyer. Southwest
Estates is intended to give these buyers that choice. The growth projections
associated with the "High -Tech Industries" may or may not be a significant factor in
the future growth patterns of Iowa City. As private developers, we feel that we
should be able to make our own projections and decisions regarding these issues so
long as the rights of others are not being violated, and inordinate public funds are
not required to support the development.
Seville Corporation believes that "leap -frog development" is not a reasonable
descriptive term for tills development. The original use of this terminology was in
reference to much greater distances between developments than are currently available
anywhere in Iowa City, and often included the necessity for the City to provide, or
participate In the provision of the infrastructure to the satellite development(s),
therefore, we do not feel this reasoning to be applicable to the Southwest Estates
Addition.
One of the primary goals of the City has previously been to encourage "compact
and contiguous development". We should all be aware, that for various reasons, this
goal is not likely to be achieved. Certain landowners may not wish to have their
property developed at the current time, while others may be holding out for higher
purchase offers. There are probably as many reasons as there are property owners.
Even though contiguous development isn't achieved, there will be a benefit to the City
In the end, in that these intervening undeveloped properties may provide valuable
locations for such facilities and/or amenities as may be determined to be appropriate
for that vicinity. If the property values haven't been Inflated artificially, it may
then be possible to acquire the properties for the desired use at a more reasonable
cost.
In summary, Seville Corporation would appreciate the opportunity to continue
development of Southwest Estates In a timely manner for the following reasons: (1)
They believe there will be a continued demand for residential lots in this portion of
Iowa City. (2) Though there are significant undeveloped properties between Southwest
Estates and Mormon Trek Boulevard. many of those properties may not be developed in
the Immediate future for reasons as stated above. (8) While Exclusionary Zoning (TO-
RS) may have an appropriate function In controlling the growth of areas where there is
extremely limited Sanitary Sewer capacity, It should not be used as a "growth
Inhibitor" because it artificially inflates the value of properties zoned for
development. (4) Remanent parcels may have a valuable function in the overall
development scheme if they can be acquired by the City for specific uses. '

The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
410 East Washington
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mayor McDonald and Council Members:
I am writing to you concerning the ordinance regarding the storage of special
vehicles for which you are having a public hearing at your regular meeting. I
have been waiting for 13 years for the City Council to enact an ordinance which
will rid neighborhoods of the unsightly storage of large vehicles in front yards
or at least one which would require some setback from the front property lines.
As you can surmise, we have one of these vehicles next door to our property.
We try to be good neighbors and do not want to start a feud with people with
whom we must live near day to day. I realize that the RV owners are well
organized and are vocal, whereas we who do not have RVs are not. Most of us
want to get along with our neighbors and therefore do not complain. That is
why you have not heard from our side.
After reading the proposed ordinance, however, I feel I must write. This
ordinance obviously was written under pressure from RV owners. Its provisions
are more lax than those set forth in the previous ordinance. Under this ordinance
a person could park a semi -truck in ones front yard if there is not access to the
rear or side yard. Is this really what you want for Iowa City? One cannot erect
permanent buildings in the required front yards, yet some RVs are moved only
occasionally (the one next door to our property is moved perhaps two to three
times a year), and therefore is no different than a permanent building.
We have worked very hard to landscape our property and, like most Iowa Citians,
take pride in the appearance of our neighborhood. Yet our efforts are diminished
by the unsightly vehicle which is parked on the grass and reaches up to the side-
walk. I realize your proposed ordinance would require that the vehicles be parked
on crushed rock or cement. However, I would not want gravel spread on the lawn
next to ours since it would soon spread and kill our grass too.
I ask that you consider the interests of all Iowa Citians, including your own, and
not yield to those who are most vocal. I urge you to rewrite the ordinance to,
at the very least, require a reasonable setback from the front property line.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely purs,
John R. Saeger JAN 1 21988

January 8, 1988.
Southgate Development Company comes before the Commission with a request to
rezone an L-shaped tract of land located east of Boyrum Street and north of
Olympic Court (described in Attachment 2 and illustrated in Attachment 3)
from the I -I, General Industrial zone to the CI -1, Intensive Commercial zone
to allow conversion of existing buildings on the property for office use, a
use not permitted in the I-1 zone. In particular, the applicant wishes to
lease the property on a temporary basis (1-4 years) to National Computer
Systems (NCS) to allow NCS to establish offices in this location.
i
In a letter (Attachment 4) to Mace Braverman, dated December 1, 1987, NCS
states its intentions "...to relocate approximately 150 administrative,
marketing, customer service, and software development people to these sites."
NCS has verified that the software development aspect of its operations
involves writing the computer software required to permit NCS to score and
edit tests and to print materials, a procedure consistent with office use
activities.
ANALYSIS
The short- and long-range development plans for the City indicate that the
subject parcel is located in an area that is encouraged to develop for com-
mercial purposes and, indeed, all of the surrounding areas are zoned for such
uses. The short-range plan specifically notes that this area should be
reserved for intensive commercial use and the zoning classification south and
west of this tract reflects that type of zoning. This type of commercial use
is typically not reliant upon high visibility, access to major thoroughfares
or immediate proximity to the populations it serves in order to thrive.
The I-1 zoning classification placed on the property under consideration
reflects the land use that existed on the property at the time the zoning map
was adopted and not the land use shown in the Comprehensive Plan to be most
appropriate for this area. The tract does not possess the characteristics
generally associated with industrial zones such as easy and immediate access
to major thoroughfares and railways (which also serves to buffer the indus-
trial development from adjacent land uses), and the provision of sufficient
land area to allow the scale of development typical of industrial uses or to
accommodate expansions.
Instead, the subject tract of land possesses qualities that make it suitable
for intensive commercial use, the land use recommended in the 1983 Comprehen-
sive Plan Update. Rezoning the property from I-1 to CI -1 would allow devel-
opment of the site for uses which are both compatible with adjacent uses and
consistent with the development policy adopted by the City.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the property described in Attachment 2 to this report
be rezoned from I-1, General Industrial, to CI -1, Intensive Commercial.

Dear Mace:
Per our previous discussions, it's important that work begin immediately
on the Swank buildings while you and Tom Erickson work out the details of
the lease arrangements.
NCS intends to relocate approximately 150 administrative, marketing,
customer service, and software development people to these sites. The
space that they fill up in our main facility will be remodeled to be used
for production space for the new federal business we recently were awarded.
It would be best if all the work could be completed by the end of January,
with the smaller building available for occupancy the week of December 21,
1987.
Thank you for your assistance and support,
/nek

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 6, 1988
To: City Council
From: Nancy Heaton, City Treasurer
Re: Request for Approval of liens for Delinquent Utility Charges
Delinquent inactive utility account balances are listed as of September 30 by
the Treasury Division of the Finance Department for certification to the
Johnson County Auditor as liens against the property. Such liens are billed
and collected with property taxes by the Johnson County Treasurer. This
listing also includes delinquent active account balances for refuse charges
which cannot be collected in the same manner as other active accounts through
the shut-off procedure.
All accounts being liened were in the owner's name for the billing period and
there are no active accounts in the same name for purposes of transferring
balances.. Accounts billed in tenant's names at rental properties are either
transferred to a new account in the tenant's name or written off as
uncollectible.
Of the $10,333.00 on the September 30th delinquent listing, $3,871.69 was
paid, $540.11 was transferred to active accounts, $4,242.09 was written off
as uncollectible and $1,679.11 are on the list submitted for liens. The
uncollectible amount is .087% of the FY87 receipt total of $4,860.189. This
percentage reflects the effectiveness of the current billing and collection
procedures.
I am requesting that you approve the listing for certification to the Johnson
County Auditor. All owners were notified by certified letters of the City's
intention to file the lien and offered the opportunity to appear before the
Council at the January 12th Council meeting. I will be at the Council meet-
ing to answer any questions you might have.
