ORDINANCE APPROVING TE PRELIMINWIY RAND
DEVELO W WISING (PCH) PIAN FOR WILLC{,ElOOKE
POINTE CONDOMINILMS, IOWA CITY, ICNA.
BE IT MUG BY THE CITY COINCIL OF IOWA CITY,
IOA, RAT:
SECTION 1. APPROVAL. The preliminary PCH plan
submitted by Byers $ Happel, Inc., for WillaMaoke
Pointe Condominiums, legally described in Attarhrent
A, is hereby approved, including the
reclassification of the property from RS -5 to PD+ -5.
SECTION II. VARIATIONS. Variations from the
reWirerents of the RS -5 zone have been approved as
a part of this plan. The variations permit:
A. Twenty-eight multi -fainly units arranged in
seven, two-story, four unit condominium
dwellings. The dwellings have bran desiged in
a rtemer corrpatible with the single -fancily
character of surrounding properties immediately
to the north and east. The large setbacks,
ample acwnts of open space, and landscape
features effectively integrate the developrent
into this single-family neighborhood.
B. Clustering of condominium dwellings. lie seen
dwellings are located north of Willa Creek on
the more suitable portion of the tract for
development, and thereby pramte a more
efficient lard use resulting in smaller
networks of utilities and streets with more
usable open space being achieved.
C. Reduction of pavement width and design stadad
from a 28 -foot curb and gutter public street to
a 22 -foot non -curb and gutter private street.
The reduced pavement width and design standard
still allows the safe and efficient mwermd of
traffic within this relatively small, non-
thracgh street development. The proposed
design will still allow the circulation of
arergency vehicles an the property.
D. No internal sidewalks. Due to the relatively
small scale of this development, the limited
amunt of traffic anticipated on the private
drive, and the availability and accessibility
of open space which my serve as an alternative
to sidewalks for pedestrian use, sidewalks are
net regarded as necessary within the
development. The plan provides for the
extension of a crosswalk south of Elliott
Court, from the proposed single-family
subdivision to the north, to provide access
thragh the development to Benton Street and
Willow Creek Park to the south.
CM
ordinance No.
Page 2
E. A certain ember of parking spaces are allowed
to back directly into the private drive. With
no parking permitted on the private drive, each
parking area so designed affords unobstructed
sight distances and assures the safe and
efficient novemnt of vehicular and pedestrian
traffic in this non -through street deslcpnert
Off-street parking is provided at a ratio of
four spaces per dwelling mit, twice the aout
required by the Zoning ordinance. The
additional parking is intended to canpensate
for overflow parking situations since m-shvet
parking is not permitted on Benton Street and
Mormon Trek Boulevard so as not to burden
neighboring residential streets.
SECTION III. RPE ER. All ordinannes and {arts aF
ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this
Ordinance are hereby repealed.
urTION IV. SEVEAA61LITY. If any section, provi-
sion or part of the Ordinance shall be adjudged to
be invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication
shall rat affect the validity of the Ordinance as a
whole or any section, provision or part thereof not
adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION V. EFFECTIVE DOTE, This Wnanm shall be
in effect after its final passage, approval and

BACKGROUND:
Police and fire protection,
including sanitation service,
are available.
The site is accessible to
Mormon Trek Boulevard via Plaen
View Drive and Gryn Drive.
The site is in a shallow, low-
lying area, traversed by a
tributary feeding .into Willow
Creek.
On August 2, 1983, the City Council approved the final plat and LSRD/PDH
plan of Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part 3, permitting a mix of residential unit
types, including 102 lots for zero lot line single-family dwellings, 38
townhouse units, and 48 multi -family units for a total of 188 dwelling
units on a 30.63 acre tract (see Attachment 2). With the adoption of the
new Zoning Ordinance in December, 1983, the development was zoned PDH -8
with underlying zoning of RS -8. Under the current Zoning Ordinance, the
RS -8 zone permits the development of zero lot line dwellings as a provi-
sional use. Previously, such units could only be approved through a
planned area development. In 1986, the area including the 38 townhouse
units, was vacated and replatted into 22 lots for zero lot line develop-
ment. (See Attachment 3.)
The applicant, Dynevor, Inc., is requesting to rezone the southern 5.841
acres of the development from PDH -8, Planned Development Housing Overlay
zone, to RS -8, Medium Density Single -Family Residential zone and
preliminary plat approval to subdivide the area into 20 -lots intended for
zero lot line single-family dwelling units. The proposed plat represents
a replat of Lots 39-43 and 46-49 of Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part 3, for
which the applicant also requests the City's consent to vacate.
Contingent upon rezoning, the applicant is proposing to replat a total of
nine (9) lots. Lots 39, 40, 42, 43, 46-49 were originally platted for
zero lot line dwellings. These lots are undergoing slight modification
with this subdivision proposal although identified by new lot numbers.
Lot 41, comprising 3.44 acres, received LSRD/PDH plan approval to accom-
modate the construction of four (4) 12-plexs for a total of 48 dwelling
units. Access to this area was provided by the extension of Dynevor
Circle, 175 -feet south of Plaen View Drive. None of the lots proposed to
be vacated nor Dynevor Circle as originally platted are currently
improved; the entire site remains under single ownership. If this area
were to develop under the original plan, a total of 56 dwelling units
could have been constructed.
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Rezoning. The applicant is seeking to rezone the subject 5.841
acre tract from PDH -8 to RS -8 to permit the development of a conventional
subdivision. It is the developer's intent to establish a zero lot line
single-family residential subdivision in accordance with the requirements
of the RS -8 zone, with lot sizes consistent with the pattern of develop-
ment established with Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part 3.
#30
The RS -8 zone allows for the development of detached single-family
residences and zero lot line dwellings on 5,000 square foot lots and
provides for the development of duplexes in accordance with the dimen-
sional requirements of the RM -12 zone, provided the minimum lot area per
duplex lot is 8700 square feet.
The proposed rezoning to RS -8 would permit development of lots consistent
with the character and density of development of existing lots in the
subdivision to the north. Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part 3, has developed in
accordance with the dimensional requirements of the RS -8 zone for which
this request would be consistent. Under the current PDH plan, a total of
56 dwelling units could be constructed on the subject 5.841 acre parcel.
The applicant proposes to replat the area to permit the development of 20
zero lot line single-family dwellings, a reduction in development density
of 38 dwelling units. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the low-
density residential designation of the Comprehensive Plan and would permit
development compatible with established land use patterns to the north.
Subdivision Proposal. The proposed preliminary plat is in general
compliance with the requirements of the subdivision regulations. Each lot
complies with the dimensional requirements of the RS -8 zone to permit
construction of detached single-family residences or zero lot line
dwellings. Stormwater management has already been provided for the Ty'n
Cae Subdivision; on-site detention will not be required for this
subdivision.
Approval of the new subdivision requires vacation of Lots 39-43 and 46-49
of Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part 3, including the dedication of Dynevor
Circle. The City's consent is necessary for the owner to vacate the
original plat and will be finalized with the final plat application.
Economic Impact: Given the value of comparable residential development in
the nearby residential area, the assessed value of each lot within the
proposed subdivision, including zero lot line residence, is approximately
$61,653. For tax purposes, the value of residential uses within this tax
year are rolled back to 80.5966% of their assessed values. The City tax
levy imposed upon a residential use within the City is $11.69523/$1,000 of
assessed valuation. Assuming a lot in the proposed subdivision is
developed with an assessed value of approximately $61,653, the amount of
annual tax generated to the City would be $581. If all 20 lots in the
subdivision were developed today, the City would realize an annual
increase in City revenue of approximately $11,620.
The proposed subdivision will not have an adverse impact on the City's
financial ability to provide municipal services. The City will incur a
direct cost by sharing in half the pavement width of the eight (8) foot
sidewalk on Mormon Trek Boulevard.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the proposed rezoning of Lots 39-43 and 46-49 of
Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part 3, from POH-8 to RS -8 be approved. Contingent
upon passage of the rezoning, staff recommends that the City consent to
the vacation of the plat for Lots 39-43 and 46-49 of Ty'n Cae Subdivision,
Part 3, and that the preliminary plat of Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part 5, be
approved.

RE:Rezoning of the property on the
corner of Benton Street and Mormon
Trek Boulevard
Stephen J. Atkins
City Manager
Civic Center
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Atkins:
RECEIVED MAR 201989
Leonard Circle
City, Iowa 52246
351-7932
19, 1989
We would like to register our protest in regards to rezoning
the above described property from its current status of RS5 to
PDH5. There have been no major changes in the type of property
being built in this neighborhood since the Comprehensive Plan for
this area was last reviewed in 1983. Many of the current home
owners in the area bought or built their current homes based on
the proposed stability of this neighborhood as outlined by this
plan. As you probably know, this is the second attempt to rezone
this property in the last year. The first attempt, also by Byers
and Happel Realty, was withdrawn from consideration after a
public outcry from the surrounding neighborhood produced
Petitions with over 250 signatures protesting the proposed
rezoning.
You probably do not know, this prior attempt of rezoning was
fraught with threats that if the neighborhood did not accept the
proposed zoning changes, then "less desirable" plans for
development of this property would be considered since the
developers had to "maximize" there investment. This seemed
particularly insensitive since their proposal would have
lowered the value of the current homes in the area.
At this time, we agree with the developer that this property
needs to be developed. What we disagree with is the method of
development. Our first wish would be that this property be
developed in manner proposed in the Comprehensive Plan--i.e. RS -
5. We believe that there exists a need for this type of housing
in the Iowa City area, particularly in the West side. The
developers, without evidence of a market study, indicate that the
southwest corner of this property (somewhat over 7 acres in size)
would be undesirable for this type of housing and therefore
propose condominium development. We have two objections to this
proposal. The main objection is that the proposed condominiums
are not actually in the southwest corner of this property but are
in the southeast corner of this property. This puts them
adjacent to the existing properties which are all single story,
single family homes. We ask that the city council actually visit
this site and see how the proposed two story condominiums would
1130
dominate this area. If the units were actually in the southwest
corner of the property their impact with existing property would
be minimized. The second objection is not a direct one but still
needs to be voiced. There are multiple condominiums already in
the surrounding area with the majority of them be rented instead
of purchased. It is our believe that it will be difficult for
the developers to sell expensive condominiums in this area, and
as a resort will need to rent them. We suspect that this will
lead to deterioration in the neighborhood since home owners take
more pride in their home than renters.
In closing let us summarize by asking that the city council
actually look at the property being described in order to
determine in their own minds what effect the proposed zoning
changes would have on the existing neighborhood. We ask the
inhabitants of the neighborhood be listened to in an equal manner
to that of the "business" community. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely yours,
Sam and Marj Kuperman

From: Kevin O'Malley, Assistant Finance Director
Re: Increase in Utility Deposits on Delinquent Accounts
Part of the process of the liening of delinquent utility customers was the
analysis of accounts that were to be written off. As you may recall in a memo
dated January 5 (attached), $4,687.08 was written off due to uncollectible
delinquent utility customers. In researching the delinquency of active accounts,
the record shows an average of 32% of the delinquent accounts have had two or
more delinquencies within a calendar year.
To reduce our losses, I am recommending that a deposit equal to the amount of
an average two-month utility bill be required for utility customers who are
delinquent more than twice. Current regulations require a $50 deposit for
residential customers and an average two month bill for deposit for commercial
customers. I also request we waive any service fees for the first delinquency
on any account in a calendar year. Upon the second delinquency, we will advise
the customer of the possibility of a deposit charge if they are delinquent a
third time within the calendar year. Upon the third delinquency, we will charge
a deposit equal to the average two-month billing for that account, minus the
deposit on record for that account. We will hold this deposit until the customer
has a full 12 -month period without any delinquencies.

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 5, 1989
To: City Council
From: , Dianna Donahue, Customer Service Manager
Re: Request for Approval of Liens for Delinquent Utility Charges
The Treasury Division of the Finance Department has prepared a listing of
inactive delinquent accounts as of September 30, 1988. These accounts
have been reviewed to determine their collectibility, first through a
transfer to an active account, and second as a lien collected with the
property tax. Those accounts determined uncollectible are written off.
Another listing is prepared of those active delinquent accounts for refuse
service only. Our only collection on those accounts are through the lien
process as the refuse services cannot be discontinued for non-payment.
The only accounts liened are those in the owner's or manager's name at the
time service was received. Inactive accounts written off as uncollectible
are those with a delinquent balance due of less than $15.00 or those in a
tenant's or owner's name and no active account in the same name exists for
a transfer.
The attached chart itemizes the beginning balances, payments, transfers
and write-offs of both INACTIVE delinquent accounts and ACTIVE REFUSE ONLY
delinquent accounts. The inactive accounts have a beginning delinquent
balance of $10,931.90 with a $4,687.08 write-off as uncollectible. The
active refuse only accounts have a beginning delinquent balance of
$337.00. Only one refuse account totaling $65.00 was uncollectible due to
the sale of the property.
An analysis was performed to improve our collectibility of those inactive
delinquent accounts. The larger percent of those uncollectible inactive
accounts are tenant accounts that had a $50.00 deposit applied to their
last billing. The mean write-off for these accounts is $31.64. We
eliminated the prospect of increasing the current $50.00 deposit charge as
the number of uncollectible finaled tenant accounts amount to two percent
of the final bills processed. Also, the dollars written off as
uncollectible is .0006 percent of the total dollars billed October, 1987
to September, 1988. We plan on researching a more aggressive collection
technique to be used by our staff --perhaps contacting the customer via
telephone rather than strictly correspondence. Also, we will question the
feasibility of using a collection agency or small claims court when a
customer does not have a second account with which to transfer the
delinquent amount.
I am requesting that you approve the listings for certification to the
Johnson County Auditor to be assessed as a lien and collected the same as
property tax. All owners were sent certified letters advising of the lien
procedures and their opportunity to appear at the January 10, 1989,
Council meeting. I will be available at the January 10 Council meeting to
answer questions regarding the lien process.
