Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
frhls checklist will he updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a
page -for -page substitution basis, it has become evident that through
usage and supplementation many pages can be inserted and re-
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 page.
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. The letters "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 orprinted in the Supplement Service,
this column reflects the identification number or Supplement
Number printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list
may be used in compiling an up-to-date copy from the original
Code and subsequent Supplements.

§ 32-6 IOWA CITY CODE /1 j
Sea 32-6. City's right to install improvements upon subdi•
videos failure to do so.
(a) In the event the subdivider, its assigns or successors in
interest, should sell or convey lots in a subdivision without
having had constructed or installed the pavement, water
mains and sanitary sewers; or if the subdivider, its assigns or
successors in interest or the owners of the lots in such subdi-
vision should fail to construct sidewalks, the city shall have
the right to install and construct such Improvements and the
costs of such improvements shall be a lien and charge against
all the lots adjacent to or in front of which improvements
are made and any lots which may be assessed for improve-
ments under the provisions of Chapter 384 of the Code of
Iowa. The cost of such improvements need not meet the require-
ments, of notice, benefit or value as provided by state law for
assessing such improvements. It is further provided that this
requirement to so construct such improvements is and shall
remain a lien from date until properly released as hereinafter
provided.
(b) When required improvements have been installed to
the satisfaction of the city, It will immediately file in the
office of the county recorder a good and sufficient release V
to various lots In such subdivisions so that this section will
not constitute a cloud upon the title of the lots in the subdi-
vision.
Sec. 32.7. Exceptions.
(a) Modi%:calions of requirements. Upon recommendation of the
planning and zoning commission, or if it deems such action to be
appropriate, the city council may vary, modify, or waive the
requirements of Article' III of this chapter under the following
circumstances:
(1) Where, in the case of a particular proposed subdivision or
plat thereof it can be shown that strict compliance with
the requirements of Article III of this chapter would result
in extraordinary hardship to the subdivider because of
unusual topography, excessive costs, or other such non -
self -inflicted conditions or that these conditions wguld re -

suit in inhibiting the achievement of the objectives of these
regulations, or
(2) Where it can be shown that strict compliance with Article
III would result in poor subdivision design or could result
in the substantial degradation of natural features.
Any action to vary, modify, or waive a requirement must as.
sure that the public interest is secured and that such variance,
modification, or waiver will not have the effect of nullifying the
intent or purposes of this chapter.
(b) Reduction of pavement width. requirements. In the
case of subdivisions, which include. cull -de -sac or 'loop"
streets (less than njne hundred (900) feet in length), the
required pavement width for such streets may be reduced
from twenty-eight (28) feet back-to-back of curb to twenty-
two (22) feet back-to-back of curb if provision is made for
storage of at least five (5) automobiles on each lot as pro-
vided in section 8.10.25 of the zoning ordinance. These addi-
tional parking spaces may be located in the front yard. A
driveway may be used to fulfill the additional parking re-
quirements only if it is double width and served by a double
width curb entrance. These parking spaces shall be shown on
the building plans for each lot in the subdivision and shall be
necessary for the approval of a building permit. Such parking
spaces shall be constructed at the time of the house construc-
tion. In lieu of the provision of the five (5) parking spaces
mentioned above on each individual lot, a "community" or
neighborhood parking lot may be provided to serve a group
of residences. The same number of parking spaces shall be
provided in such lots as would have been required of the resi-
dences so served. Such parking shall be located no more than
two hundred (200) feet from any residences served. Where
such parking lots are used, adequate provisions for their main-
tenance and preservation as parking lots must be provided.
Where such exception to pavement width is desired, the method
of providing the above required off-street storage of automo-
biles shall be indicated on the preliminary rind final subdivi-
sion plans and shall be a requirement for final approval. These
off-street parking areas, either on each individual parcel or

functional and compatible with the overall development of the
area. They shall be surfaced in accordance with standards he
the city engineer's office. Upon approval of the final plat and
of
n subdivision containing twenty-two (22) feet residential j
streets, parking on both sides of such streets shall be pro-
hibited and appropriate signs designating same shall be posted
by the city.
(c) Unusual plats. This chapter shall not preclude the ap-
proval of "cluster" type subdivisions or subdivision designs
of an unusual type, if, in the opinion of the planning and zon-
log commission, the general and aesthetic merit, the preser-
vation of natural or topographic features, and the prospective
enhancement of the community would warrant the waiving of
technical requirements as set forth in article III of this chap-
ter.
(d) Council action. In all cases, of a variance, modification,
or a waiver of the general requirements, it will be necessary to
have the city council approve the same and note this fact in the
resolution approving the plat and subdivision. The council
may also modify, vary or waive the general requirements on its
motion for good reason shown, even if the planning commis-
sion refused to do so. (Code 1066, § 3,60.6)
Sec. 328. Selling before approval; penally; suits by mu-
nicipalities.
Except pursuant to an agreement expressly conditioned on
final subdivision approval, it shall be unlawful for any person or
persons, as owner or agent, to agree to transfer or sell, or to
transfer or sell, any land which forms a part of a subdivision for
which city council approval is required pursuant to the require-
ments described in this chapter, before final subdivision approval
has been granted. Each lot disposition so made shall be deemed a
separate violation.
In addition to the foregoing, the appropriate authorities of the
city may institute injunction, mandamus or other appropriate
action or proceeding to prevent any pending sale or transfer, or to
prevent any further sale or transfer in violation of this chapter.

proposed. Offsite costs shall be recoverable only to the extent of
actual costs or estimated costs, whichever is lesser.
(e) At the time an offsite public improvement is accepted by
the city for public maintenance, based upon information furnished

relating to overwidth paving or oversized water mains or
sewer lines, divided by the number of acres and/or lineal
footage which will be served by the public improvement.
(2) The ordinance shall also provide for reimbursement to
developer from the cityfor the extra costs incurred for the
following:
Overwidih paving. The city's share shall be the actual
cost per linear foot of paving wider than requiredby the
city for local streets, and shall be considered a strip in the
center of the pavement.
Oversized water mains or sewer lines The city's share
shall be the difference in cost between the pipe, main or
conduit plus valves and valve boxes required by the city
'and pipe, main or conduit plus valves and valve boxes
needed to service only the subdivision or planned develop.
menta
Reimbursement of the costs of overwidth paving, or over.
sized water mains or sewer lines shall be made upon the
earliest to occur of the following:
a. The city's comprehensive plan is amended to show the
developer's site is included in the areas available for
development in the short range, or
b. Development of the area or areas between the devel-
oper's site and the platted streets nearest to such site
has been substantially completed.
For purposes hereof, development has been substantially
completed when all of the land in the area has been platted
and building permits have been issued for construction on
at least ninety (90) per cent of the lots in such area.

intervening development has been substantially complet-
ed, reimbursement shall be on a dollar -for -dollar basis,
_. with no interest or carrying costs. Any amount unpaid at

entire area served by the off-site improvement, and the
city clerk shall file a copy of the ordinance in the office of
the Johnson County Recorder.

of each specific connection ordinance shall expire twenty
(20) years from the date of its passage.
(g) At such time as any part of the off-site area served by an
offsite improvement is subdivided by platting, or becomes sub.
jectto a large scale development plan, the resolution approving
the preliminary plat or plan shall set forth the amount of the
connection fee or fees which shall be paid with respect to the
subdivision or large scale development.
(h) Connection fees shall be collected by the city prior to the
time, and as a condition to approval of each final subdivision plat
or large scale development plan described in subsection (g). Not-

ment before a subdivision plat or largo scale development plan is
required for such area, the appropriate fee shall be paid prior to
issuance of the building permit.

aged growth in which agricultural and other nonurban uses of
land may continue, until such time as the city is able to provide
municipal services and urban development can take place. Upon
provision of municipal services, the city will and the property
owner may initiate rezoning of property to uses consistent with
the comprehensive plan. ID designations on the zoning map shall
be reevaluated with each revision of the comprehensive plan. ID
designations shall consist of ID -RS (single-family residential),
ID -RM (multifamily residential), ID -ORP (office research park),
and ID-RDP (research development park) to reflect the intended
use of the property in the future.

STAFF REPORT

Item: S-8419. Clear Creek Subdivision
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Applicant:

Purpose:

Prepared by: Barry Beagle
Date: October 6, 1988
Clear Creek Investment Co.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52401
Vacation of a portion of Clear
Creek Subdivision.
To resolve a conflict with the
approval of the original plat.
Northwest Iowa City, north of
Melrose Avenue. via Camp
Cardinal Road.
Size: Approximately 327 acres.
Existing land use and zoning: Agricultural; ID -ORP.
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Section 409.19 of the Code of Iowa, the applicant
Proposes to vacate a portion of Clear Creek Subdivision. On June 19,
1984, the City Council approved the preliminary and final plat of Clear
Creek Subdivision, establishing a three lot, 330 acre subdivision in
northwest Iowa City. (See Attached Plat) Parcels A and B were sold to
Mr. Alan Nagel, who continues to own the tract of land between the two
parcels, with the remaining approximate 327 acres (Parcel C) retained by
Clear Creek Investment Co. At the time of the subdivision request, it was
not detected that Parcel C overlapped the corporate boundaries and should
have also received the approval of Johnson County. This discrepancy was
not discovered until recently and has placed a cloud over the title for
each of the lots in the subdivision. As not to endanger the entire
subdivision, the applicant proposes to vacate Parcel C from the sub-
division leaving Parcels A and B as Clear Creek Subdivision. Upon
vacation, Parcel C will be described by metes -and -bounds description.
The 1984 plat provided for the dedication of 33 feet of right-of-way to
the City along the subdivisions frontage with Camp Cardinal Road. The
proposed vacation will not affect this dedicated right-of-way. There are
no public improvements or utility easements extending through or into the
subdivision that would need to be retained or protected.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has no objection to the proposed vacation of Parcel C from the plat
of Clear Creek Subdivision and recommends that the City Council be advised
to give its consent.
