moved in error.
, . The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide
for the user to determine whether the Code volume properly
reflects the latest printing of each pcge.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence.
The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages as
they should appear in an up-to-date volume. Theletters _"OC"
indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement
Service and appear as published for the original Code.,When a
page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service,
this column reflects the identification number or Supplement

(n Reinspection A reinspection fee may be assessed for each
inspection or reinspection when such portion of work for which
inspection is called is not complete or when required correc.
tions have not been made.
This provision is not to be interpreted as requiring inspec.
tion fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply
with the requirements of this code, but as controlling the prac.
tice of calling for inspections before the job is sufficiently com.
'pleted to enable inspection or reinspection. Reinspection fees
- may be assessed when the approved plans are not readily avail-
able to the inspector, for failure to provide access on the date
for which inspection is requested or for deviating from plans
requiring the approval of the building official.

(n Reinspection A reinspection fee may be assessed for each
inspection or reinspection when such portion of work for which
inspection is called is not complete or when required correc.
tions have not been made.
This provision is not to be interpreted as requiring inspec.
tion fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply
with the requirements of this code, but as controlling the prac.
tice of calling for inspections before the job is sufficiently com.
'pleted to enable inspection or reinspection. Reinspection fees
- may be assessed when the approved plans are not readily avail-
able to the inspector, for failure to provide access on the date
for which inspection is requested or for deviating from plans
requiring the approval of the building official.
In instances where reinspection fees have been assessed, no
additional inspection of the work will be performed until the
required fees have been paid.-

Dear Mayor and Council Members:

Mercy, Hospital proposes to purchase was vacated by the City
through its Ordinance No. 82-3097, adopted by the.City Council
on December 21, 1982., Since that date the vacated alley has
been used primarily as a vehicular exit for the hospital's
admissions parking lot.
Mercy Hospital and Veterans Administration Hospital have
agreed to jointly acquire magnetic resonance imaging equipment
which would be located in an addition to be constructed at
Mercy Hospital. The proposed addition would be joined to the
hospital's Radiology Department and would occupy a part of the
hospital's existing emergency room parking lot and a part of
the 60 foot length of alley the hospital seeks to purchase.
When this section of alley was vacated, the City retained
a 20 foot utility easement over the entire 60 feet. The alley
is also subject to existing easement rights in favor of Iowa -
Illinois Gas and Electric Company. Mercy Hospital would
assume all costs of the relocation of any utility equipment
or lines which may be necessitated by construction.

SPECIAL INFORMATION:
Public utilities:
Public services:
Transportation:
Physical characteristics:
BACKGROUND:
Public utilities are not currently available,
Individual septic systems would be
provided for sewage disposal with water
service provided by a private well and
water distribution system. Ten -foot front
lot line utility easements are shown that
will enable retrofit of future water service
by the City.
Police protection would be provided by
Johnson County with fire protection
provided by the Solon Fire Department.
Vehicular access to the subdivision Is
provided by the extension of Devon Drive
from within the Prairie View Estates
development.
The site is characterized by wooded and
steep side slopes ranging from 5% to
40%.
The applicant is seeking final plat approval to establish a 13 -lot residential subdivision
immediately north of Interstate -80 within Johnson County. The proposed subdivision represents
the third phase of the Prairie View Estates development and increases the total number of lots
to 48. The preliminary plat of Prairie View Estates, Part Three, was recommended for approval
by the Commission on April 6, 1989, and ultimately approved by the City Council on June
13, 1989, and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors on July 20, 1989,
ANALYSIS:
The Commission recommended the preliminary plat of the 13 -lot subdivision be approved
subject to three (3) conditions: 1) Approval of stormwater management calculations, 2)
Approval of the proposed water system and individual septic systems by the Johnson County
Health Department, and 3) Installation of refleclorized break -away bollards at the unimproved
Syril Street intersection with Prairie du Chien Road. The first two conditions were satisfied prior
to approval of the preliminary plat by the City Council. The Subdivider's Agreement
accompanying the final plat addresses the third condition which Indicates 'The owners agree
that they shall Install, prior to obtaining any building permits for the subdivision, break -away
bollards, at the location of unimproved Syril Street as it intersects with Prairie du Chien Road.'
The Subdivider's Agreement only addresses the installation of the bollards and should be
expanded to Indicate that it will be the responsibility of the Homeowner's Association to
maintain, repair and replace the bollards as may be necessary.
3
Syril Street was intended by the Commission to provide suitable secondary access only in the
event of an emergency. The unimproved condition of the street, however, makes it doubtful
that the street would be passable when needed for emergency secondary access. Staff
recommends Syrfl Street be Improved to a passable condition and thereafter be properly
maintained by the Homeowner's Association. The standard to which Syril Street would be
Improved should be specified by the applicant and agreed to by the City. Staff had
recommended the preliminary plat of Part 3 be denied lacking suitable secondary access to
the Prairie View Estates development. Any future subdivision within the Prairie View Estates
development should not be approved until secondary access is available to the development.
Access to Part Three will be provided by the extension of Devon Drive which is intended to
function as a collector street and provide an eventual transportation link between Prairie du
Chien Road and Highway 1 North to the west. To protect this function, the Subdivider's
Agreement for Prairie View Estates, Part Two, specified that Devon Drive shall remain open to
the public and accessible from adjoining properties to ensure its continuation. With the
subdivision of Part Three, Devon Drive is to be extended to the east boundary of the
development. The Subdivider's Agreement for Part Three should likewise indicate that the new
segment of Devon Drive will remain open and accessible to the public.
With the subdivision of Part 3, two streets in the Prairie View Estates development would be
named "Syril": Syril Street in Part 1 and Syril Drive in Part 3, Duplication of street names
should be avoided to minimize confusion for residents and emergency service providers. Staff
recommends the name of Syril Drive be changed on the final plat.
Except for a few minor discrepancies, the final plat is consistent with the design of the
approved preliminary plat and the requirements of the Iowa City Subdivision Regulations and
Fringe Area Policy Agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Dependent upon resolution of the following minor deficiencies and discrepancies, staff
recommends the final plat of Prairie View Estates, Part Three, be approved:
1. Label the "Stormwater Management Detention Facility Easement."
2. Resolve discrepancy in legal description between the preliminary and final plat.
3. Identify 100 -year flood boundary with respect to Lots 39-41.
4. Revision and approval of legal papers.
5. Change name of Syril Drive.

BACKGROUND:
Police and fire protection are
available. Sanitation services
would be provided privately.
Transit service, on a limited basis,
is available to the N.C.S. complex
located west of the Highlander
Development First Addition.
Vehicular access to the site is
provided via Highway I and Northgate
Drive.
The topography is gently sloping
On November 10, 1967, the City Council approved the preliminary Large Scale Non -
Residential Development (LSNRD) plan for Lots 2 and 3 of Highlander Development
First Addition (copy attached). The plan, submitted by Northgate Development
Company, Inc., proposed an office building not to exceed 60,000 square feet on
the 4.55 acre site. The applicant prefers to locate the structure approximately
75 feet closer to Northgate Drive then depicted on the approved plan. Since this
proposal deviates from the parameters established by the preliminary plan, the
plan must be formally amended to allow construction of the proposed facility in
the new location.
ANALYSIS:
Dimensional Requirements: The amended location of the proposed structure
complies with the minimum dimensional requirements of the Commercial Office, CO -
1 zone. While the maximum building height of the CO -1 zone is 25 feet, the plan
notes the developer's interest in retaining flexibility in developing this
property by indicating that the height of the building may exceed 25 feet on the
condition that the requirements of Section 36-70(b) of the Zoning Ordinance are
met. This provision allows a structure to exceed the maximum height permitted
in a zone provided adjustments are made to increase the depth of required yards
and provided the increased building height does not conflict with the provisions
of the Airport Zoning Ordinance.
The Commission will recall that an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance is presently
before the City Council that would permit, to a limited extent, buildings in the
CO -1 zone which are located across the street from RM, C or I Zones to exceed
the 25 foot height limitation of the zone without providing additional front yard
setbacks. In this instance, the proposed building could be constructed to a
height of 35 feet before the front yard setback would have to be increased. Due
to the distance of the proposed building from the side and rear lot lines, no
additional side and rear yard setbacks would be required if the building were
constructed to a height of 35 feet.
Precise dimensions of the proposed building will be reflected on the final LSNRD
plan which will be reviewed and approved administratively. Similarly compliance
with off-street parking requirements, tree regulations and screening will be
shown on the final plan prior to building permit approval.

The applicant has indicated that landscaping along Northgate Drive in conjunction
with a walkway which is proposed for the Research Development Park portion of
the subdivision, will most likely be extended westerly, through the CO -1 zoned
area, to Highway 1.
Stormwater Management: Provisions for stormwater management were approved with
approval of the final plat for the Highlander Development First Addition. The
drainage easement across Lots 2 and 3 is a part of that stormwater management
system.
Sidewalks: With approval of the Highlander Development First Addition plat, the
City and the subdivider agreed that if sidewalks along Northgate Drive had not
been installed within the subdivision prior to the extension of City bus service
to the subdivision, the City, at that time, could require the installation of
that walk. Limited transit services are available to N.C.S., the development
located west of Highway 1 and the Highlander Development Subdivision.
The applicant is aware of the provisions within the Subdivider's Agreement that
links sidewalk installation with the extension of transit service to the
subdivision. In anticipation of future transit service to the development, the
plan has been drawn to allow a City bus to maneuver within the parking area
serving this facility. The amended location of the proposed structure is
geometrically more favorable to transit service than the original location.
Economic Impact: Economic impact is a measure of the public costs and benefits
associated with the proposed project. Public benefit can generally be measured
in terms of the estimated tax revenue generated and the potential number of jobs
created by the project. The liabilities or costs are not always quantifiable,
but include the cost of direct public improvements such as the cost of over -
width paving or over -sized water mains and the indirect public costs associated
with the provision of additional public services demanded by the proposed
project.
Although tax levies change from tax year to tax year, it is possible to estimate
the annual taxes that would be generated by the proposed development. Given the
value of existing commercial lots and structures in the immediate area of the
proposed project, the assessed value of the land and structure comprising this
development is expected to be $2,200,550. At a current City tax levy of
$12.02810/51,000 of assessed valuation, the amount of tax due on that property
this year would be approximately $26,468. The applicant estimates that 25 to
100 jobs will be created with this office use.
While no direct public costs to the City are incurred by this project, indirect
costs associated with maintenance of streets and municipal utilities and the
provision of police and fire protection services are expected. With development
of other parcels within this subdivision, the extension of transit service to
the area must also be considered. The proposed development, however, is not
expected to require a significant commitment of public funds or services beyond
those currently available to the site.

Physical characteristics:
BACKGROUND:
Police and fire protection are available
to the site. Sanitation service will not be
publicly provided.
The site is accessible from Heinz Road. !
A railroad spur borders the northern lot
line.
S
Topography is gentle to rolling with slopes
less than 10%. An existing dralnageway
runs north-northeast through the rear
(western) portion of the site.
The applicant is requesting approval of an amended preliminary Large Scale Non -Residential
Development (LSNRD) plan for Lot 2 of BDI First Addition to permit construction of a 9,000
square foot warehouse building identified as Phase III. In the attached letter dated August 29,
1989, Mr. Willis Bywater indicates that the proposed warehouse will provide Economy
Advertising Co. with much needed storage space for both raw materials (paper, tubes, etc.)
and finished orders. Mr. Bywater hopes to have the building constructed this fall. The
proposed warehouse is located on a portion of the site that was Identified by the previous
LSNRD plan for a "Future Building." Presently, the site is occupied by an approximate 14,800
square foot, multi -tenant industrial building. This building was constructed in two phases under
separate LSNRD plans approved in 1977 and 1979. This structure is presently occupied by
Hawkeye Industries, Inc., Universal Hospital Services, Inc., and Quantum Health Resources,
under the address of 2415 Heinz Road. Access to the site is limited to a single curb cut onto
Heinz Road which leads to an existing 49 space parking area.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed plan represents the third phase of construction on the 3.08 acre lot. The
proposed warehouse is a permitted use in the 1-1, General Industrial Zone; the building's
location and height are in compliance with the dimensional requirements of the 1.1 zone.
The proposed plan is in substantial compliance with the requirements of the LSNRD regulations
and applicable sections of the Zoning Ordinance regarding off-street parking, tree requirements,
etc. Additional comments regarding the plan are provided as follows.
i The location of the proposed building and expanded parking area will require the size and
configuration of the stormwater management facility to be altered. The Phase II LSNRD plan
i approved in 1979 identified a stormwater management detention facility covering a specific
I{ area. The location of the warehouse and expanded parking area extends into this facility. The
j proposed LSNRD plan shows the detention facility as being pulled back on the east side and
enlarged on the west side, adjacent to the rear lot line, to accommodate the location of the
j proposed warehouse and parking area. Stormwater management calculations will need to be
submitted and approved by the Public Works Department for the altered size and design of
the stormwater management facility.
1401
\ i,
A
A private six (6) inch water main and fire hydrant is to be Installed along the south lot line in
conjunction with the construction of the proposed warehouse building. The Phase II LSNRD
plan indicated that the water main and Tire hydrant were to be installed with the construction
of the future building. These improvements were required by the Fire Department to provide
additional fire protection in addition to providing water service to the future building. The six
(6) inch water main and hydrant will need to be installed prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy for the building.
Economic Impact:
The proposed building construction is estimated to cost approximately $165,000. The
assessed value of the facility is, therefore, expected to be the same amount, At a current City
levy rate of $12.02810/$1,000 of assessed valuation, the City would annually generate
approximately $1,985 in taxes as a result of the proposed building construction. In addition,
the improvements shown do not require a commitment of public funds or services beyond that
which is currently available.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the amended preliminary LSNRD plan for Lot 2 of BDI First Addition, Phase
III be deferred, but, upon resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies listed below, that it
be approved.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. Submit revised stormwater management calculations for Public Works Department
approval.

RE: Lot #2 BDI First Addition
2415 Heinz Road, Iowa City
Dear Mr. Beagle:
This letter is to detail the intentions we have for the proposed
- 9,000 sq, ft. warehouse that we would like to construct on the
above property and as proposed on our request to revise our LSNRD.
For many years, the westerly 6,000 sq. ft. of the existing
building has been used as warehouse space by our company, Economy
Advertising. Recently, we have converted approximately 60% of
that space to use by another tenant, leaving Economy with slightly
over'2,000 sq. ft.
To alleviate the problem temporarily, Economy has leased some
truck trailers for storage. It is our intentions to construct -,,.t,
the 9,000 sq. ft. building yet this fall, so that it will be
available at the beginning of the year for warehousing both raw
materials (paper, tubes, etc.) and finished orders. Presently, we
do not intend to heat the building, although, may partition off a
small area where open storage of small quantities of loose,
printed sheets can be warehoused for a specific customer.
It's possible, at a later date, as the concept of the printer
doing distribution of printed materials continues to grow, we may
add plumbing, heating and air conditioning to a portion of the
building for the convenience of a person being stationed in the
building on at a part-time basis.
If I may assist further, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your assistance with our project.
Sincerely,
WMB/jw

BACKGROUND:
Lots 1 through 6 would be served by a
communal well and private water
distribution system. Lots 7 and 8 would
be served by Individual wells.
Police protection would be provided by
Johnson County. Fire protection would
be provided by the Coralville Fire
Protection District.
Lots 1 through 6 are accessible via a cul-
de-sac street which intersects with Under
Road. Lots 7 and 8 are accessible from
Under Road.
The topography of the tract generally falls
to the north and the south from a high
point on the south side of Lot 7. Except
for those portions of the tract used for
agricultural purposes, the site is tree.
covered.
The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval of an eight -lot single-family residential
subdivision located immediately north of Iowa City on Under Road, Under Road divides the
approximate 10.7 acre parcel Into two parts. Two lots, each with direct access onto Under
Road, are proposed on the north side of this roadway. The remaining six lots front on a
proposed cul-de-sac located south of Under Road. Seven of the eight lots are between 1.01
and 1.29 acres in size. Lot 8, a flag -shaped lot, is significantly larger in area (2.10 acres) due
to its topographically rugged character which limits the amount of "buildable" area.
The entire tract is located within Fringe Area 3 of the Fringe Area Policy Agreement between
Johnson County and Iowa City. Residential development is encouraged within this part of
the City's extraterritorial area. Development within Fringe Area 3 is required to conform to the
County and City Rural Design Standards enumerated in the Fringe Agreement. The preliminary
plat of Moss Woods has been reviewed for its compliance with these standards; plat
deficiencies and discrepancies are listed at the end of this report. The following analysis
describes some of the plat deficiencies.
ANALYSIS:
Design: Lots 7 and 8 should be reconfigured to provide more buildable space for Lot 6 and
to permit relocation of the septic field.
Streets: The subdivision proposes the establishment of a new street south of Under Road.
Six of the eight lots within the development front onto the proposed cul-de-sac. The plat notes
that the cul-de-sac is to have a concrete paved surface, a 50 foot right-of-way, and curb and
gutter. Minimum corner radii of 20 feet at the cul-de-sac's Intersection with Under Road should

be reflected on the plat and the street grade should also be noted, The size and type of any
culverts that may be required over drainage ditches within the subdivision such as at the Under
Road/cul-de-sac Intersection or at drive approaches to individual lots should be shown on the
plat.
Public Utilities and Services: The plat reflects that Lots 1 through 6 are to be served by a
well located in the northeast corner of Lot 6. The plat shows a line which is presumed to be
the water distribution system located in the cul-de-sac right-of-way to the well; this line should
be labeled and extended to Lot 1. The plat notes that private wells will serve Lots 7 and 8.
The location of these wells is not known at this time,
Each lot within the proposed subdivision is to be served by individual septic systems. The
proposed locations of these sewage disposal systems and the proposed building sites are
noted for each of the eight lots within Moss Woods. The sewage disposal system on Lot 8
should be relocated so that the septic field is not higher in elevation than the house.
Two stormwater storage basins are shown within this proposed residential development.
Stormwater from Lots 7 and 8 is to be stored in a basin located in the north central portion
of Lot 8. The southern part of the development is to be served by a holding basin located on
Lots 4 and 5. Preliminary calculations for the stormwater detention facilities should be
submitted and approved by the City's Public Works Department. In addition, the storage
volume capabilities of each of these basins should be noted on the plat. The subdivider must
demonstrate that stormwater from Lots 1, 2 and 3 can be directed to the holding basin on Lots
4 and 5; otherwise, another basin may have to be constructed to detain stormwater from these
three lots.
Information establishing a fire rating for the area should be submitted along with a letter of
transmittal from the Coralville Fire Protection District,

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the preliminary plat of Moss Woods be deferred. Upon resolution of
the deficiencies and discrepancies listed below, staff recommends the plat be approved.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 7, 1989
TO: 'Stephen Atkins, City Manager
Doug Boothroy, Director, HIS
Legal Department
FROM: Lyle G. Seydel, Housing Coordinator 4441Z&
SUBJECT: Public Housing ACC Amendment
I. HUD is proposing an amendment to Annual Contributions Contract (ACC)
KC9166. This Contract consolidated three Public Housing Projects of 32, 20
and 10 units under one Contract. Initial date of the Consolidated ACC was
October 18, 1985. The ACC was amended February 29, 1988.
2. The ACC provided for the payment of principal, interest and debt service
on the money utilized to purchase the units up to but not exceeding Actual
Development Costs. Certified and approved Actual Development Costs are as
follows:
a. 03 - $1,645,945.48
b. 04 - $1,036,330.40
c. 05 - 543,849.29
TOTAL - $3,226,125.17
3. The Housing and Community Development Reconciliation Amendments of 1985
provided that each loan made by the Government that has any principal amount
outstanding or any interest amount outstanding or accrued that is repayable
from debt service annual contributions shall be forgiven and any promise to
repay principal and interest in a loan contract shall be cancelled. It has
taken HUD this long to iron out the implementation of the 1985 Act.
4. The proposed Amendment does just that. It forgives the principal
balance and interest due on our three Projects. Those amounts last reported
are:
Project H Principal Balance Interest Total Balance
03 $1,520,514.95 $455,466.51 $1,975,981.46
04 $ 940,142.29 $262,782.70 $1,202,924.99
05 $ 543,849.29 $177,283.64 $ 721,132.93
TOTAL $3,004,506.53 $895,532.85 $3,900,039.38
5. All other provisions of the ACC remain unchanged.

FY 87 $15,351.17

With this proposed amendment Residual Receipts are retained by the PHA in a
new account - "Reserve for Replacement". Complete guidelines for this
accounting and utilization of the funds are not yet available.
7. Please review the Amendment and the Resolution adopting the Amendment.
This will be on Council Agenda for September 19, 1989.
