The Commission, I believe, wants to be assured that vehicles used on a daily basis will not be affected by the dimensional limitations established in the special vehicle regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. According to a local recreational vehicle dealer, the dimensions of rec- reational vehicles do not vary substantially from one dealer to another. Except for collapsible camping trailers and truck campers, recreational vehicles are generally 8 feet wide and 10-1/2 feet in height. No recrea- tional vehicles presently exceed 11 feet in height. Recreational vehi- cles, except for truck campers and camping trailers, range in overall length from 16 feet to 40 feet. Camping trailers are usually 7 feet wide, about 4 feet high in their collapsed position, and range in overall length from 15 feet to 22 feet. Truck campers, not mounted on a vehicle, are 7 feet in width and range in length from 7 feet to 11-1/2 feet. When mounted on a truck, these recreational vehicles approach the 10-1/2 foot height of other RVs. The attached information lists the various classes of RVs and depicts the lengths available. The following chart lists dimensions for a variety of passenger vans: *This model is customarily purchased by organizations or institutions. 1013 Overall Make Wheelbase Length Height Dodge 9.33 ft. 14.66 ft. 5.37 ft.

Restricting special vehicles greater than 7-1/2 feet from being parked within required front or side yards is not expected to impose a hardship on individuals using passenger vans on a daily basis. Standard parking spaces must be 19 feet long and the Zoning requires front yards within residential zones to have a minimum depth of 20 feet.

The intentions of this amendment, like the purpose of the regulations which restrict accessory buildings from encroachment onto front and side yards, is to minimize the obtrusive effects of these vehicles on a particular lot and on adjacent properties. The rationale behind the seven foot height requirement is that any vehicle which exceeds 7 feet in height will have other substantial dimensions and, most likely, will be used only on special occasions and will not be moved on a daily basis. The potential for such a vehicle to be stored and to, therefore, compromise the intentions of the front and side yard setbacks is increased. A copy of the ordinance is attached.

Iowa City Council, As concerned homeowners and tax payers, we wish to voice our disapproval of the chabges being considered concerning an ordnance Prohibiting parking of recreational vehicles on private property. We feel this is an infringement of our rights due to the fact we pay taxes on our property and license our motor home. Our vehicle Is used for camping all year round, and it would inconvenience us to park it elsewhere. We maintain our house and yard, plus the city owned lawn behind our house on the Hiway 6 bypass. Our motor home is parked alongside the house, and obstructs no one's view. It is no more unsightly than the old junk care, trash, etc. on some property. In addition, dither taxpayers and vehicle owners have gone to considerable expense to provide gravel and cement pads, and carports to house their vehicles on. We ask that you consider the above in your discussion of the ordnance Concerned citizens, Ruth A. Wei and Edward H.

(n)(1) NEW CONSTRUCTION (new buildings, factory -built home parks) - Those structures or development for which the start of construction commenced on or after the effective date of the Flood Insurance Rate Map, (0)(1) ONE HUNDRED (100) YEAR FLOOD - A flood, the magnitude of which has a one (1) percent chance of being equalled or exceeded in any asstaonce every r or ,o ehundred n average, will be equalled or exceeded ( ) )years. 917 _.T Ordinance No. 87-3318 Page 5 (s)(1) STRUCTURE - Anything constructed or erected on the ground or attached to the ground, including, but not limited to, buildings, factories, sheds, cabins, factory -built homes, storage tanks, and other similar uses. (2) SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT - Any improvement to a structure which satisfies either of the following criteria: a. Any repair, reconstruction, or improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure either (i) before the improvement or repair is started, or (ii) if the structure has been damaged, and is being restored, before the damage occurred. For the purposes of this definition, "substantial improvement" is considered to occur when the first alteration affects the external dimen- sions of the structure. The term does not, however, include any project for improvement of a structure to comply with existing state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which are solely necessary to assure safe conditions for the existing use. b. Any addition which increases the original floor area of a building by 25 percent or more. All additions constructed after June 5, 1985, shall be, added to any proposed addition in determining whether the total increase in original floor space would exceed 25 percent. SECTION 1-9. General Provisions. (a) Lands to Which Regulations ADDI These flood plain management regulations shall apply to all lands and uses which have significant flood hazards. The Flood Boundary and Floodway Map and the Flood Insurance Rate Map, dated June 5, 1985, which were prepared as part of the Iowa City Flood Insurance Study, shall be used to identify such flood hazard areas and all areas shown thereon to be within the boundaries of the 100 -year flood shall be considered as having significant flood hazards. Where uncertainty exists with respect to the precise location of the 100 -year flood boundary, the location shall be determined on the basis of the 100 -year flood elevation at the particular site in question. The Iowa City Flood Insurance Study is hereby adopted by refer- ence and is made a part of this ordinance for the purpose of administering flood plain management regulations. (b) Compliance No structure or land shall hereafter be used and no structure shall be located, extended, converted or structurally altered without full compli- ance with the terms of this ordinance and other applicable regulations which apply to uses within the jurisdiction of this ordinance. Ordinance No. 87-3318 Page 6 (c) Abrogation and Greater Restrictions It is not intended by this ordinance to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this ordinance imposes greater restrictions, the provision of this ordinance shall prevail. All other ordinances inconsistent with this ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of the inconsistency only. (d) Interpretation In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this ordinance shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the governing body and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by State statutes. (e) Warning and Disclaimer of Liability The degree of flood protection required by this ordinance is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on engineering and scien- tific methods of study. Larger floods may occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams and bridge openings restricted by debris. This ordinance does not imply that areas outside the regulated areas or that uses permitted within the regulated areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This ordi- nance shall not create liability on the part of Iowa City or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this ordinance or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. (f) Severability If any section, clause, provision or portion of this ordinance is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this ordinance shall not be affected thereby. SECTION 1-10. Flood Plain Management Standards. (a) General Flood Plain Standards All uses must be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage and shall meet the following applicable performance standards.

Administration. (a) Appointment, Duties and Responsibilities of Administrator (1) The Building Official shall administer and enforce the provi- sions of this ordinance and will herein be referred to as the Administrator. (2) Duties and Responsibilities of the Administrator shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following: a. Review all flood plain development permit applications to ensure that the provisions of this ordinance will be satis- fied. b. Review all flood plain development permit applications to ensure that all necessary permits have been obtained from federal, state or local governmental agencies. c. Record and maintain a record of: (i) the elevation (in relation to National Geodetic Vertical Datum) of the lowest floor of all new or substantially improved buildings or (ii) the elevation to which new or substantially improved struc- tures have been floodproofed. d. Notify adjacent communities and/or counties and the Depart- ment of Natural Resources prior to any proposed alteration or relocation of a watercourse. e. Keep a record of all permits, appeals, variances and such other transactions and correspondence pertaining to the administration of this ordinance. (b) Flood Plain Development Permit Required (1) Permit Required - A Flood Plain Development Permit issued by the Administrator shall be secured prior to initiation of any flood plain development (any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, including but not limited to, buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, streambank erosion control meas- ures, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling opera- tions) including the placement of factory -built homes, (2) Application for Permit - Application for a Flood Plain Develop- ment Permit shall be made on forms supplied by the Administrator and shall include the following information: a. Description of the work to be covered by the permit for which application is to be made. b. Description of the land on which the proposed work is to be done (i.e. - lot, block, tract, street address or similar description) that will readily identify and locate the work to be done. 417 Ordinance No. 87-3318 Page 12 c. Indication of the use or occupancy for which the proposed work is intended. d. Elevation of the 100 -year flood. e. Elevation (in relation to National Geodetic Vertical Datum) of the lowest floor (including basement) of buildings or of the level to which a building is to be floodproofed. f. For buildings being improved or rebuilt, the estimated cost of improvements and market value of the building prior to the improvements. g. Certification by a registered engineer or land surveyor of the effect the proposed development will have on the flood- plain, under the requirements of this ordinance. This certification requirement may be waived by the City Engineer in those instances where the City Engineer can make an adequate determination of the effect of the proposed devel- opment. EXEMPTION: All streambank erosion control measures involv- ing less than 500 linear feet and not extending more than three feet into the stream channel are exempt from the certification requirement. h. Such other information as the Administrator deems reasonably necessary for the purpose of this ordinance. (3) Action on Permit Application - The Administrator shall, within a reasonable time, make a determination as to whether the proposed flood plain development meets the applicable standards of this ordinance and shall approve or disapprove the application. For disapprovals, the applicant shall be informed, in writing, of the specific reasons therefore. The Administrator shall not issue permits for variances except as directed by the Board of Adjustment. (4) Construction and Use to be as provided in Application and Plans - Flood Plain Development Permits based on approved plans and applications authorize only the use, arrangement, and construc- tion set forth in such approved plans and applications and no other use, arrangement or construction. Any use, arrangement, or construction at variance with that authorized shall be deemed a violation of this ordinance. The applicant shall be required to submit certification by a professional engineer or land surveyor, as appropriate, registered in the State of Iowa, that finishedthe oofing, or otherflood Protectbionlmeasures owere eaccomplished vations�inrcompliance with the provisions of this ordinance, prior to the use or occupancy of any structure. 617 Ordinance No. 87-3318 Page 13 (c) Variance W1 (1) The Board of Adjustment may authorize upon request in specific cases such variances from the terms of this ordinance that will not be contrary to the public interest where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this ordinance will resultin unnecessary hardship. Variances granted must meet the following applicable standards: a. No variance shall be granted for any development within the floodway which would result in any increase in flood heights during the occurrence of the 100 -year flood. Consideration of the effects of any development on flood levels shall be based upon the assumption that an equal degree of develop- ment would be allowed for similarly situated lands. b. Variances shall only be granted upon: (i) a showing of good and sufficient cause, (ii) a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant, and (iii) a determination that the granting of the variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public. c. Variances shall only be granted upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief. I d. In cases where the variance involves a lower level of flood protection for buildings than what is ordinarily required by this ordinance, the applicant shall be notified in writing over the signature of the Administrator that: (i) the issu- ance of a variance will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high as $25 for $100 of insurance coverage and (ii) such construction increases risks to life and property. e. All variances granted shall have the concurrence or approval of the Department of Natural Resources. (2) Factors Upon Which the Decision of the Board of Adjustment Shall be Based - In passing upon applications for Variances, the Board of Adjustment shall consider all relevant factors specified in other sections of this ordinance and: a. The danger to life and property due to increased flood heights or velocities caused by encroachments. b. The danger that materials may be swept on to other land or downstream to the injury of others. 417 Ordinance No. 87-3318 Page 14 `1 c - The proposed watesysSupply oand prevent systems and the ability of these and unsanitary conditions, P disease, contamination d.
