YM 151
McDonald: Moved by Ambrisco, seconded by Balmer to adopt the resolution. Mr. Honohan,
did you ... approach the podium.
Jay
Honohan: I'm here representing Gordon Russell in this matter. I have a letter that I would
like to read to the Council and then present to the City Clerk. It is addressed to
the Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Iowa City.
(Honohan reads letter) We'd like this for the record.
McDonald: Thank you Mr. Honohan. We're going to ask Mr. Timmins if he would reply to
Timmins: I just had a couple of questions for Mr. Honohan. If I understand this correctly
then your client is objecting to Mr. Knabe's application for subdivision approval of
the Weeber Street extension.
Honohan: At this point and time we are taking no position in support of or against this
particular proposal. We're now of course objecting to the proposed subdeveloper's
agreement because we feel it is not a subdeveloper's agreement, it is not a
subdeveloper's agreement as drafted. In fact, we feel that the first paragraph
which is an exceptional paragraph and is not in the normal subdeveloper's
agreement makes this not a subdivision because it specifically states that it is the
only application is to 32-2 of the Code of Iowa City which is just the definition
section, simply the definition section of the subdivision.
Timmins: Well Jay, it is our opinion that this is the only way in Iowa City that you can extend
a street is by subdivision. There is precedence for this of course with the Boyrum
Street extension that was a subdivision as well in order to connect those streets.
Honohan: Well maybe Mr. Meardon and I didn't represent the developer.
Timmins: I'm sure you didn't. That's the precedent the City has established in interpreting
the subdivision ordinance so I take it you are objecting to the extension of this
street by subdivision even though that's the way the City determines that that
should be done.
Honohan: As we read the agreement it is no longer a subdivision, it is nothing more than an
extension and a dead end street and a dead end street is prohibited by 32.54(4).
Timmins: Then if the City requirement is that your client is the owner of one of the parcels
that is effected by this extension has to sign some type of an agreement are you
objecting to his having to sign an agreement.
Honohan: No, we said and I sent a letter to the Knabes' attorney this afternoon and have
indicated that in there we would work with the parties. We were shut out of this
original agreement. it was negotiated between Uncle and Knabe's attorney. We
were not invited to participate. We received copy of this which was then corrected.
We received a copy of this on Friday and then a corrected copy approximately
Monday noon when 1 was busy with some other part of the text and we didn't gel
to look at it until this afternoon.
Timmins: Do I hear you right? Your clients are objecting to the layout of this particular
street, this extension?
Honohan: Not with the specific layout as such. We have consistently made a position, Terry,
that we believe the agreement which sponsored this particular thing requires the
entire exhibit A which was approved by the Court which goes down further than
this 200 and some feet. That's been our position. I presented to Planning and
Zoning a copy of that exhibit that I am referring to.
Timmins: I am familiar with that exhibit.
Honohan: I don't have an extra one today.
Timmins: The dissent decree with the stipulation which was later turned into in effect a
consent decree simply requires the parties to extend a street between point one
and point two on that plat.
Honohan: That's not our interpretation of the agreement. It requires the City to approve a
street as shown in exhibit A.
Timmins: Well Mr. Mayor, the City is really between a couple of private contestants here
over a street extension agreement which was reached in a lawsuit and apparently
now there is some disagreement as to what has to be done. Linda, in reviewing
that consent decree was very confident about what was required and of course
it is up to the City to determine applying its own rules and regulations on how a
street extension is to be accomplished and we have always interpreted that to
mean a subdivision for that street extension One thing that operates against the
parties here, is in a sense the decree itself which provides that if the street is not
installed and that is Mr. Russell's obligation. As soon as the City approves its
location if the street is not installed this year the obligation for Mr. Russell to
construct and install the street disappears. It's gone. So the street either has to
be constructed this year or there will be no street. So really the City is trying to
extricate itself from the position of standing in the way of what is otherwise a done
deal. The Court's consent decree establishes that this should be done, In a
sense we have to be a little skeptical of objections to the manner in which we are
doing it. Certainly there is some Incentive here to delay this and to continue to
delay this so that the time will run out in the subdivision or the street extension.
Mr. Honohan is right that we have been dealing with the Knabes because they
brought the matter forward. They have been pushing. They were the plaintiffs,
I believe, in the lawsuit. The consent decree was more or less entered in their
favor and that was part of the relief that they requested in their lawsuit. So in a
sense they are the proponent of this plan. I suspect the Knabes really don't care
whether we do it by subdivision or just out and out approve the street extension.
They are simply trying to comply with whatever the City is requiring. So In that
regard, Mr. Honohan and his client were not brought Into it except by the Knabes
sending documents to them within the last couple of weeks. It's really a pretty
mundane subdivider's agreement. There is nothing very profound in there. There
is a precedent for It. It is very similar to the situation we have at the Boyrum Street
extension. I guess I would suggest that if Mr. Honohan and his client, Mr. Russell,
have something to bring forward in the next two weeks, and can get something
worked out with the Knabes that's acceptable from a subdivision perspective, I
guess I would recommend that we take the time to do that. However, I think that
there is some chance here that what we're dealing with is an effort to delay the
matter so I think if I were you I would put a two week time period deadline on it.
You've got what I think is a valid subdivision in front of you. I cannot see that it
causes damage to anyone to extend the street 238 feet in compliance with the
Court decree.
McDonald: Are you recommending at this point that we proceed and take action on that?
Timmins: I am recommending that you delay it for a period of maybe two weeks to allow
Mr. Honohan and Mr. Russell to bring forward their concerns and ii there is an
opportunity to work something out we'll certainly attempt to do that. But I think
this has gone on five years since the decree has been entered, nearly five years,
and its more than enough time for the parties to have worked something out. The
City is the only thing that stands in the way of this getting accomplished and
we're simply trying to get out of the way.
Courtney: Is there anything in the decree about the rest of the street?
Timmins: No.
Courtney: It doesn't say that It's got to be taken to Highway 1?
Timmins: No, it does not.
Larson: Mr. Attorney, a couple of brief questions. If your answer requires any considerable
time I would appreciate it that we do it in the intervening two weeks. What is the
consequence to the City if Mr. Honohan is right and City staff is wrong with regard
to the subdivision being an Illegal subdivision agreement? And secondly, does
it violate our subdivision laws to allow a dead end street? It's a dead end street
now and extending it still leaves it as a dead end street. That would differentiate
it from Boyrum obviously.
Timmins: Let me put it this way. It is nothing that you cannot allow as a waiver if you will
of your own subdivision ordinance If it happens to be a violation and I haven't
check that out. I can simply tell you that if it is a violation you've probably got
authority to waive that requirement.
Larson: I didn't know whether we need to specifically exercise that authority or anything
and secondly what would the damages be with regard to the taxpayers if Mr.
Honohan is right and we've done this wrong?
Timmins: I think the most that would happen to the City would be that perhaps someone
would contest the validity of the subdivision and it might be either party who
wants the subdivision. The Knabes would try to have it confirmed by the District
Court or the other party would try to have it overturned.
Larson: I don't want to see it happen, but I'm not too worried about paying somebody's
legal costs if we did something wrong and they have to sue us to get it changed.
I'm more worried about getting in a position where we are forced to extend it to
Highway 1.
Timmins: There was a mention of a taking issue. We will take a look at the impact that
they mention of the airport approach zone and so forth. I really have my doubts
that this is going to impact that issue one way or another. I don't think the
extension of the street and the fact that it may be within the airport approach
zone ... I can't see how these two would operate to increase or effect our liability
one way or the other.
Larson: With all due respect, the incentive that is clearly there to delay on the part of Mr.
Honohan's client. I think certainly the question is raised that, at least on the face
of it, it appears reasonable and we should defer it for at least two weeks. That
doesn't put us in any jeopardy of not being able not to complete our action by the
end of 1989 which is our deadline.
McDonald: Did you want to address the Council on this item?
Hillary
Strayer: Thank you Mr. Mayor. I'm Hillary Strayer. I'm counsel for Bill and Judith Knabe,
two of the three subdividers in this case. It might be useful for me to underscore
a few points made by the City attorney and add to them, if I might. My clients and
I have worked very closely with the Legal Department and the City staff in
preparing our subdivision proposal and we are pleased that it satisfies all of your
requirements. Therefore, we are not looking forward to a further two week delay
in this matter. We feel that we are entitled to an immediate approval of your
resolution before you tonight, Insofar as the staff and the Planning and Zoning
Commission have recommended that this proposal be approved, we certainly think
that It is a very simple matter for the Council to approve the extension on that
basis. The fact that the third subdivider has not yet signed the subdivision, two
of the subdivision documents should not create an obstacle for you tonight and
I believe that Linda Gentry in fact sent a letter to the City Clerk earlier to day
Instructing them not to delay just because some of the documents have not yet
been signed by Gordon Russell. Certainly Gordon Russell Trucking, Inc. Is not in
a very good position to oppose this proposal since the decree in 1984 specifically
said that first of all, that they are not to object to any proposal for a street and
secondly, that they are to agree to dedicate the right-of-way that is necessary for
the street. Those are the two documents that have not yet been signed. I'd like
to respond to some of the points made by Jay Honohan tonight. First of all, he
has said that this not a subdivision and yet the very first paragraph of the
subdivision documents do refer to 32.2 of your subdivision code which is the
definition of a subdivision. Under that definition you must have a subdivision
every time a new street is involved and that is the situation that we have in this
case. Mr. Honohan knows that we do not follow the standard form of the
subdivision documents and yet we have done the best we can under this rather
unusual situation where we are subdividing only a street and not any additional
lots. Mr. Honohan also mentioned that he has not had time and has not felt that
the plan has been Included In the process but I should tell you that Mr. Russell
has been in possession of these documents since April 3, during the trial of the
subsequent lawsuit that has been going on recently. Mr. Honohan also says that,
well he reasserts his position that he has asserted before that if you do the
substreet you must go all the way to Highway 1. For your record tonight we have
explained previously to Planning and Zoning why that is not necessary and I will
do so again for you just that when the time comes you will have an application
before you and you'll have a chance to approve it and reject it then. It has been
five years since the court acted on this in 1984 and there's been ample time for
Gordon Russell to be involved in preparing this application for you tonight. My
client may have some additional comments.
McDonald: Thank you.
William
Knabe: My name is William Knabe. I live in 1101 Weeber Circle. I guess I give the
emotional part of the speech. Nevertheless, I would like to ask the Council to
consider several things before they make their vote tonight. About seven years
ago my wife and I bought 41/2 acres of land behind our house in order to preserve
the woods and in order to give us some privacy and have an area that other
people in the neighborhood can enjoy and they have for a number of years. But
this piece of property is land locked. This piece of property has no street access
and without the grace of Charlie Ruppert allowing me to drive over his property,
I've never been able to get a vehicle to this piece of property. We decided at the
time when we bought the piece of property and it was part of the agreement under
which we bought the property from the Church of the Lutheran Church.
it was part of the agreement that it would be passed along, that we would have
a street or street access and that street would be built by Gordon Russell. That
was an obligation he had assumed. Well we waited patiently for a couple of years
and Gordon Russell didn't do anything, even though we were in correspondence
with Gordon Russell. We tried to arrive at some Idea of what was going to
happen. Nothing ever happened and finally five years ago we sat down and we
said to our lawyers, we need to get some action taken on this. What can we do.?
At that time we weren't ready to go to trial. In fact, approximately a very short time
before we went to trial the very day before we were due for trial, the two lawyers
from both sides sat down and worked out what is now referred to as equity
agreement #48347. This agreement was approved by both sides and signed by
both parties; and the judge was present, too. This equity agreement is as clear
as piece of English as you can find anywhere. Both sides were both legal sides,
Mr. Meardon representing Mr. Russell, Mr. Novin representing me, to sit down and
work this agreement out, it so clearly stated we weren't going to require Mr.
Russell to build us a street all the way through. All we wanted them to do is give
us access to our property. So here we said to Mr. Russell it normally would cost
$80,0004100,000 to put this street in - all we are asking you to do is give us this
little 286 -foot extension for about $18,000, that was the deal. We made the deal
we made and it specifically states is from point 1 to point 2 on Exhibit A. Now,
lt it were anything other than that, we would feel obligated to involve a whole lot
more people in this situation because we are concerned about our neighbors like
anyone else is but all we are doing is asking for this extension what kind of
extension we are asking for. If you look at the exhibit, it's the very extension that
was originally drawn. it's the extension that Planning and Zoning has looked at
many times and said but that's not going to affect anything; it's going to give you
access to your property and 9 we do decide some day to connect Weeber Street
to an existing street and the street they've talked about is Edingale, then this would
be right in the path. In fact, you can look at the map, this curves right down to
Edingale. So we have operated under this assumption that this equity agreement
would be fulfilled. We have waited for 41/2 years; we can't built a home on the
property, we can't even drive a vehicle up to it and we've waited 41h years for Mr.
Russell to do something. We've written letters to Mr. Russell. Our legal staff has
a rack about two inches thick of letters and he has refused or not responded at
all. He's not going to respond because in the equity agreement we agreed that
he should build it within five years so the equity agreement clearly states that
unless this is approved by the City of Iowa City by January 1, 1990, his obligation
Is gone. Now this is Mr. Honohan's game. Mr. Honohan's game is to put a lot
of red herrings out here, delay the action on this, not have the City approve it
because it is not that he has to build a street then, it is that the City has to
approve it by then. You can delay this two weeks. I really have been fighting this
battle so long you might say two weeks shouldn't make any difference at all to me
but I figure H you really delay it, it's not a very big victory for me at all tonight
because I have waited 41h+ years and all I'm asking is the City meet my rights to
have a street in and if Mr. Russell doesn't build H, this equity agreement gives me
the right to build the street and for Mr. Russell to have to pay for it. I'm going to
build a street out there one way or another, I sure hope to hell it is with your help.
McDonald: Mr. Knabe, I think if Council decides to defer for two weeks, I can assure you with
a fair amount of accuracy that action will be taken in one form or another in no
later than two weeks. Mr. Timmins, are you still recommending to Council that we
defer this item for two weeks?
Timmins: Well, Mr. Honohan has indicated that his client is interested in entering Into some
kind of agreement relative to the extension of Weeber Street, I think it is only fair
to ourselves and to, that we give him the opportunity to end up with an agreement
that all the parties are happy with and that is clearly enforceable. I happen to
believe that if we pass this agreement we could probably, one of the parties could,
Mr. Knabe for Instance, could perhaps get it confirmed in the court, it would still
be valid and binding on Mr. Russell but rather than go to that trouble, perhaps we
can R they are truly interested in having an agreement perhaps within the next
couple of weeks we can work one out. I think that that's a reasonable period of
time to give them to. They have already reviewed the document. They have some
concerns if they respond, make some suggestions in writing within the next few
days that we can, something concrete that we can review as far as what the
document should look like, then that is something that we can begin to work with
and perhaps fashion an agreement that is acceptable to Mr. Honohan and his
client, Mr. Russell. That would be my recommendation.
McDonald: What's Council's please on this?
7
Courtney: I'm a little confused as to what more an agreement can be I
mean
Timmins: The only thing I'm Interested in is an agreement that Mr. Russell will put his name
on, if not then, then we don't have to worry about being involved in any more
lawsuits.
Horowitz: What if he doesn't get it? Doesn't put his name on it?
Timmins: Then I would advise you in two weeks to act on this one.
Balmer: I thought the lawsuit had already taken, 1 thought the court opinion had been
rendered by the documents we had.
Kubby:
Timmins: The court hasn't approved this document, the court hasn't approved this
methodology. The court said that the City had to approve this extension and what
they are objecting to is the methodology in the document. Whether or not that's
a valued objection. Whether or not it's a good faith objection, I'm not hear to say.
All I'm saying is that the best position for the City to be in is to end up with a
document that both of these parties will sign and giving them another two weeks
to arrive at that, in the total context I don't think is the
Courtney: Is staff and Planning and Zoning and Linda looking at this airport issue at all?
Was that ever talked about?
Timmins: I don't believe they did. I'm not sure I wasn't Involved in the discussions with
Planning and Zoning, but just looking at the map I can't believe that it is going
to be that much of a problem.
Larson: Mr. Mayor, my answer is that the City attorney that was Involved in this is not
here and this being on the agenda we received last Friday, it's the first any of us
really heard about it other than possibly yourself, and Mr. Knabe and his attorney
may very well be right in everything they have said tonight and probably are. I
think in the Interest of being conservative about extending taxpayers' liability,
although two weeks may be a disappointing compromise to Mr. Knabe,
understandably so, I think behooves us to take the cautious approach and make
sure Mr. Honohan and his client are on notice that two weeks from now is the
deadline in our viewpoint.
Kubby: That would be the only way I would agree to deferring it is If it wasn't deferred
again.
McDonald: I think If it is done, It should be done time definite.
Balmer: I would concur with Mr. Larson's statement.
Courtney: I'm looking at the map here on the airport and the only reason I'll delay this is
because I want the question answered. I don't want to get into another hassle
with the FAA and in the map there's clearly a runway pointed that direction. It has
nothing to do with the agreement. I think these folks don't like each other and
they are trying to get us in the middle of it.
Timmins: And I'm trying to make sure we stay out of it now and in the future.
McDonald: I think that does constitute a majority; there is a motion on the floor.
Ambrisco: I move to withdraw, I will withdraw.
Larson: Move to defer for two weeks.
Horowitz: Second.
Karr: Mr. Balmer, but if the original motion is withdrawn..
Ambrisco: I have withdrawn.
McDonald: Mr. Larson, you are moving to defer Item H until the meeting of May 21
Larson: Yes.
McDonald: Is there a second?
Ambrisco: I will second it.
McDonald: Any more discussion? It has been moved and seconded to defer Item H until the
Council meeting of May 2. Any other discussion? All those in favor of the motion
signify by stating aye. Motion carried, Horowitz voting no.
