Washington Street, of Southgate Development, asked e onmiss on to consider amending the CI -1 zone to allow for a daycare use, as a special exception, within that zone. Mr. Siders spoke on behalf of an individual who is interested in placing a daycare facility in an existing building near K -Mart known as the Swank office building. Scott stated that the item would be placed on the Commission's informal meeting agenda of July 13, 1987.

I PLANNING S ZONING COMMISSION JULY 2, 1987 PAGE 2 DEVELOPMENT ITEMS: 1. S-8706. Public discussion of an application submitted by Mr. Stephen rl�igFF for preliminary and final plat approval to establish a county subdivision within the County known as Rapid Creek Estates. 45 -day limitation period: waived. Dierks moved to defer the item to the Commission's August 20, 1987, meeting. Vallace seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. 2. S-8713. Public discussion of an application submitted by Business Development, Inc., for approval of a preliminary and final plat for B.D.I. Fifth Addition, a 12 -lot industrial subdivision located north and south of Heinz Road extended. .45. -day limitation period: July 20, 1987. Moen explained that the item is an industrial subdivision comprising approximately 57 acres which the developer proposes to divide into 12 industrial lots ranging in size from three to ten acres. Moen noted this proposal also involves the extension of Heinz Road to Scott i Boulevard. Boyle noted that legal papers for the subdivision are expected to be approved prior to Council consideration of this appli- cation. Moen stated that the subdivision complies with the general provisions of the subdivision regulations and the stormwater manage- ment ordinance. Moen stated that staff suggests that access to Lots 6 and 7 be re- stricted to Heinz Road in order to limit access to Scott Boulevard, which serves as an arterial street. These provisions have been indi- cated on the plat. Staff also suggests that access to Lots 11 and 12, which front only on Scott Boulevard, be restricted to one drive shared by both lots. This is not indicated on the plat. Moen noted that the plat does not show provisions for sidewalks but that the sidewalk requirement was waived at the time the plats for B.D.I. Second Addition were approved. She suggested that the Commis- sion may wish to consider waiving the sidewalk requirement for this subdivision as well. Staff recommends approval of this subdivision subject to approval of construction plans for Heinz Road and for provisions for a single access to Scott Boulevard that is shared by Lots 11 and 12. Moen noted that all deficiencies and discrepancies except for the shared .o• access have been remedied. Wallace questioned who is responsible for the construction of Heinz Road. Moen replied that it ultimately is B.D.I.'s responsibility. Discussion: ,40,21 PLANNING b ZONING COMMISSION JULY 2, 1987 PAGE 3 Horowitz noted that staff recommends access to Lots 11 and 12 be limited to one drive shared by both lots. Scott stated that the Commission does not recommend a shared access due to the configuration of Lots 11 and 12 and the inability to provide an industrial drive of a sufficient width which could accommodate both lots. Scott stated that the Conoission has suggested that the subdivision regulations be amended to allow the width of industrial drives to be increased to better serve industrial uses. Scott added that if the joint access to Lots it and 12 was imposed, there would be a very narrow industrial drive servicing both of those lots. Therefore, Scott concluded, the Commission is not including that recommendation in the motion to approve this subdivision. Horowitz mored to approve S-8713 subject to final approval of legal papers, approval of construction plans for Heinz Road, and a waiver of the Fifthidewalk Addition. Dierksfor se seconded etheinmotion' final The motiolats n (carried unanimously. S-8714. Public discussion of an application submitted by Clifford and Ramona Bell for approval of a preliminary plat for Bell's Subdivision, a 12.32 acre, 12 -lot subdivision located north of County Road F-46 and south of Snyder Creek, approximately 1.8 miles east of Scott Boule- vard. 45 -day limitation period: August 3, 1987. Moen noted that the subject subdivision is located in Area 5 of the Fringe Area. Therefore, the City Rural Design Standards are pre- scribed for this subdivision. Moen stated that the proposed subdivi- sion is in compliance with these standards. She stated that there are provisions for two private wells and each lot would be serviced by its own septic system. Access to the development would be restricted to four points. Lot 1 would have direct access to the County road, but would be limited to within 32 feet of the east property line. Moen continued that the three other access points allow for sufficient visibility. She stated that the proposed stormwater management system is acceptable. She noted that a swale along the west property line may not be capable of draining to the stormwater management basin if a 2% grade cannot be achieved. As an alternative, drainage tile could be used to achieve that effect. Moen stated that there are existing overhead electrical lines along the County road and the developer is not required to provide underground service lines to the individual properties. She stated that the telephone lines are underground. She suggested to the Commission that they may wish to consider waiving the .o requirement that drive approaches be hard surfaced in the right-of-way because the County road is surfaced with crushed rock. Staff recom- mends approval of the preliminary plat noting that the only outstand- ing requirement is a letter from the West Branch Fire Department establishing a fire rating and confirmation that the area can be satisfactorily serviced. Mr. Clifford Bell, Rural Route 5, Iowa City, stated that West Branch re ie c illman had mailed such a letter July 1, 1987. ,40 A17 PLANNING b ZONING COMMISSION JULY 2, 1987 PAGE 4 Dierks questioned whether it would be possible to place individual service lines underground to each house. Moen replied that it would be possible but it is not required since overhead lines are within the right-of-way of the County Road serving this subdivision. Horowitz questioned whether the electrical lines to the three homes across the road from the proposed subdivision were above or below ground. Bell was unsure. Dierks questioned Bell as to whether it was his intention to place the lines above or below ground. Bell replied that to the best of his knowledge Iowa -Illinois Gas b Electric Co. would only run service to the lot in the form of a pole and then it was up to the lot owner to extend the line. Mr. Bell also stated that he had spoken with the County Engineer about the entrance to Lot 1 being 100 feet from the intersection and the County Engineer did not object. Boyle noted that the letter from the Fire Department will be required for the final plat. Horowitz moved to approve 5-8714, the preliminary plat of Dell's Subdivision, subject to a waiver of the hard surface requirement for access drive approaches within the right-of-way and to receipt of the fire district letter. Dierks seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. ZONING ITEMS: 1. Z-8706. Public discussion of an application submitted by Mr. Enmit J. George to rezone property located at 528 Iowa Avenue from RNC -20 to CB -2. 45 -day limitation period: July 24, 1987. Staff: Beagle reviewed the application stating that Mr. George is prTmarily trying to rezone the site of his law office from RNC -20 to CB -2 so that the architectural firm of Robert P. Burns 8 Associates could acquire the property and use it for their architectural office. Beagle noted that the property was the subject of a rezoning last year when the Crisis Center applied for rezoning to CB -2 to acquire the property for their use. Beagle noted that at the time of application staff initially supported this application assuming that the present law office had been legally established in 1981. Staff then discov- ered that the law office was not legally established because a cer- tificate of occupancy was not secured nor was the required amount of parking provided. As a result staff could not support the conversion of the property to a commercial use. Staff therefore revised the recommendation to denial. Beagle noted that had the law office been legally established within the previous Zoning Ordinance, rezoning now would not be necessary. Beagle questioned whether the law office could even have been approved in 1981 since compliance with the park- ing requirements would have made it difficult. Beagle noted that the Crisis Center did ultimately withdraw its application. Beagle stated he wished to address the concerns which arose during the Crisis Center rezoning. /00 ST 7 .A' PLANNING d ZONING COMMISSION JULY 2, 1981 PAGE 5 Beagle noted that the RNC-20lished where it is so as topreserand Be2and uprotectaesabsheneighbor- hoods lying to the east.

Hebert asked George where his current clients park and if they use the Credit Union parking lot. George responded that when a client has parked in the Credit Union his secretary calls the Credit Union to let them know.

She explained that she thinks it makes more sense to cut a zone on a street boundary rather than on an alley. She added that the use is favorable and that last year the neighbors had no complaints with Mr. George's law firm, it was the fear of the unknown associated with the Crisis Center. Wallace also stated that she is concerned about keep- ing the historic nature of the house and is concerned for Mr. George's rights to deal with the property as he wishes. Scott stated that at the time of the rezoning application last year, the adjoining property owners, the property immediately east of the George property owned by Mrs. Connie Keeling, the property located northeast of the subject property fronting Johnson Street, the prop- erty across Johnson Street to the east owned by Mr. Green, and the Credit Union to the west objected to moving the CB -2 boundary. Scott stated that he had received a telephone call from Mrs. Keeling earlier in the week expressing her adamant opposition. Scott added that another issue is the necessity of screening between residential and commercial zones and pointed out that the lot lines between Mr. George's and Mrs. Keeling's properties are quite close. Scott stated I that the purpose of the RNC -20 zone is to retain existing residential housing stock in this zone. Another provision of the RNC -20 zone was that any conforming uses existing prior to the adoption of the zone would exist in perpetuity. legally non-conformin Scott noted had this property been a iissue would not be before thisobodse, in the area of parking, this RNC -20 zone was explicit and the property w e original intent of uded because of its residential character. Scott explained that its conversion to an Office use is an illegal conversion and does not think this body should, by its rezoning action, make an illegal use legal. Scott stated that he intended to vote against the proposed zoning. Horowitz asked the legal staff if there was any way under the special excep- tions that an architectural firm could be placed on this site. Boyle replied no. The motion was defeated 1 to 4 with Wallace voting in the affirma- tive. 2. CZ -8111. Public discussion of an application submitted by Rapid Creek proximately Partnership o eto rezone and one half 141acres northteOfedIowa st (City, f 1m, A -I (Rural) to RS (Suburban Residential). o. Scott stated that the item would be deferred pending revisions to the Rural Design Standards in the Fringe Area for Area 4. Moen noted that the rezoning request will be reviewed in the context of those proposed revisions. Staff will provide information for the Commission's July 16 meeting. Horowitz roved to defer item CZ -8711 to the Commission's informal meeting on July 16, 1987. Wallace seconded the motion. The notion carried unanimously. /oOR7 4 .V' PLANNING 8 ZONING COMMISSION JULY 2, 1987 PAGE 8 3. Public discussion of an amendment to Section 36-23(c) of the Zoning Ordinance to modify the provisional uses allowed in the CI -1, Inten- sive Commercial Zone. The Chair indicated that a motion to defer this item to the August 6, 1987, meeting would be entertained. Moen stated that staff had no further convents and that the Commission will receive additional information and a revision to the proposed ordinance prior to further discussion of this proposed amendment. Wallace mored to defer this its to the Commission's August 6th meet- ing. Horowitz seconded the motion. Oisrussinn- Horowitz suggested that an RNC zoning classification may be suitable for a residential neighborhood where a CI -1 zone abuts residential property. By zoning an area a neighborhood conservation zone, en- croachment of the CI -1 zone into the residential zone may be discour- aged since preservation of the residential neighborhood is encouraged. Beagle noted that Horowitz seemed to be concerned with the maintenance of the residential zone and the non -expansion of the commercial zone. Horowitz agreed and added that it is important to maintain the resi- dential character of the zone separate from the commercial zone. Boyle stated that is why the City has performance standards incorporated in the Zoning Ordinance. Scott suggested the uses of the RS -8 and RNC -20 be discussed and on the agenda for the informal meeting of August 2, 1987. The motion to defer the its to the August 6, 1987, meeting carried unanimously. Public discussion of an amendment to Section 36-68(j), Permitted Encroachments in Required Yards - Decks, etc. Moen distributed a copy of the proposed ordinance which included revisions discussed at the informal meeting. Moen noted that wording concerning the location of a porch, deck, balcony or stoop to within two feet of an alley had been added. Moen explained that the proposed ordinance measures distances relative to property lines and not to structures on adjoining lots because lot lines provide a consistent reference point. Horowitz questioned whether any other height limitation had been proposed. Moen replied that there had been no other height limitation other than the three foot height limit measured from grade. Discussion: David Wall, 604 Ronalds, asked the Commission and staff to explain in further detail the meaning of the required yard and the height re- quirement above grade. Moen explained the definition of a required / oar PLANNING 8 ZONING COMMISSION JULY 2, 1987 PAGE 9 yard and the limitations of construction within that yard and explained the height requirement. Wall then questioned why the ear- lier draft stated that the ordinance would probably not impact new housing construction. Moen stated that the ordinance may address older homes with their characteristically smaller lots. Wall ques- tioned staff if they have researched whether it would not impact new homes. Moen stated that an inventory had not been done but that the impact is not expected to be as great in newer, larger lot subdivi- sions. Wall stated that the Commission and staff are making changes to the ordinance and that they are not sure what impact these changes will have. Boyle noted that construction of decks which can encroach into a yard has only been allowed since December of 1983. Wall ques- tioned whether there is enough evidence to warrant a change due to only the complaint of one individual. Wall questioned whether there are any other cases. Moen replied that this is the only case that she is aware of. Horowitz noted that it is the responsibility of the Commission to anticipate problems of the future. Mary McGrane, 419 W. Park Road, stated that there are ordinances on the books and that this is quite a change. She questioned whether the Commission wants to make such a change from one complaint. Scott noted that a case could be made either way. Scott stated that with the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance of 1983 there was no prohibition of the construction of such structures in the rear yard and side yard and construction in the front yard was limited. Ms. McGrane again noted that she didn't feel that one complaint should precipitate a change. Dierks stated that until this issue arose she was unaware that you could build up to your property line and that the general public may hold such a view also. Hebert questioned Ms. McGrane about how many complaints was necessary before a change was warranted. Ms. McGrane replied she was not sure and questioned how many he felt was necessary. Hebert replied that he felt one was necessary to keep other complaints from being made. Scott noted that a case could be made either way and that the Comnission does not want to debate points but would attempt to answer any questions. Ms. McGrane urged the Commission and staff to conduct further research to find out if this is indeed a problem. Joe Scarpaci, 718 N. Johnson, stated that he urged the Commission to reject the ordinance amendment due to the following reasons; 1) the weaknesses of the distance to property line measure, and 2) the 3' height restriction. Mr. Scapraci then made his own proposal and submitted it to the Commission. He added that he had gathered a list of 40 signatures and then turned over his letter and the signatures to the staff. Corine Suter, 609 Brown, stated that she hoped the Commission would pass the amendment as proposed. She noted that her main objection is visual and audible encroachment. She stated that she had not gathered signatures but could if it was necessary. Scott replied that such action is not necessary. /a4Ri .1. PLANNING A ZONING COMMISSION JULY 2, 1987 PAGE 10 Dierks questioned whether an individual could build a deck to their property line and then the neighbor build their deck to their property line and wondered how either would conduct construction and/or mainte- nance of their structure. Boyle stated that legally the neighbor could not encroach upon the neighbor's yard. Moen stated that without the amendment both could build to their property line. Horowitz requested that the staff seek information from other jurisdictions and how they deal with this or similar situations. Scott suggested that a motion be entertained to defer the item until the call of the Chair. Scott noted that in view of future discussion of historic preservation in the North Side, the issues raised by the first three speakers could be addressed at the same time in greater detail. Scott stated that the Commission has discussed how the issue impacts the older neighborhoods more so than the newer neighborhoods, but none of the Commissioners know that as a fact, and the issue should be expanded further and addressed at a future date. Horowitz noted there is a need for legislation that is understandable and applicable for the future. Horowitz moved to defer the item until the call of the Chair. Dierks seconded the notion. The motion carried 4 to I with Hebert voting in the negative. Scott stated to the public who have been interested in this issue that when the Commission discusses the issue further they will be notified. OTHER BUSINESS: Public discussion of design standards for rural subdivisions in the two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction of Iowa City. Moen briefly stated the purpose of the Fringe Area Policy Agreement. She noted that staff is suggesting a three-level approach to road construction within the Fringe Area based on the fact that there are obvious differences in certain areas in their likelihood of being developed for residential purposes and the likelihood of certain areas being annexed within a 10 to 20 year timeframe. Moen stated that these levels impose different requirements depending upon an area's likelihood of being annexed. Moen noted that the standards are a reflection of the standards in effect prior to the Fringe Agreement. Moen then explained the three levels. Dierks questioned if it would be possible to find out the cost differ- ence of having utility service lines run to the property above or below ground. Mr. Larry Schnittjer stated that he thought overhead service would be provided without charge and that underground service would be billed from the transformer to the structure with an approxi- mate cost of $9.00 per foot. Scott noted that burying the cable and the replacement of it eventually is a considerable cost. /40 OR 7 PLANNING 8 ZONING COMMISSION JULY 2, 1987 PAGE 11 Horowitz moved that the Commission recommend to the City Council adoption and incorporation into the Johnson County/Iowa City Fringe Area Policy Agreement of revised development standards for subdivi- sions within the two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction of Iowa City as follows: Level 1. Full City street standards should be applied to areas which Fa -Re -Immediate potential for annexation (less than 5 years). This means an urban cross-section with street construction of full depth concrete 28 feet wide for local streets and 31 feet for collector streets. All telephone and electric utilities service lines shall be underground. Level 2. A mini" rural development standard for streets should be area to those areas for future potential annexation (5 to 10 years). This entails a rural cross-section with a six inch compacted stone base and chip seal surface 22 feet wide. Level 3. Present County local street improvement standards would be aped to all other areas within the two-mile fringe of Iowa City. The County standard should be amended to provide for six inches of crushed rock 22 feet wide. Dierks then moved to amend the main motion to include the burying of utilities in Level 2. The Chair recognized the amendment and called for discussion. Horowitz stated that she would only agree to this amendment in order to lever- age support for burying utility lines in Level 1. Boyle noted that the County does not have to agree with the Commission and that it is the City which imposes the standards. Scott would not support the amendment due to the remote likelihood of annexing areas in Level 2 in the near future. The motion to amend the main motion failed 1 to 4 with Dierks voting in the affirmative. The main motion carried unanimously. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION INFORMATION: Moen distributed information concerning a recent land use case decided by P. the U.S. Supreme Court. Horowitz suggested that at the next informal meeting the Commission consider their work schedule on the Comprehensive Plan. Scott stated that he wished to discuss with staff the possibility of scheduling extra meetings during the months of September, October and November, and suggested that in the off weeks the Commission meet once a week in order to get caught up. /oA 7 I PLANNING 8 ZONING COMMISSION JULY 2, 1987 PAGE 12 ADJOURNMENT: Horowitz moved to adjourn the meeting at 10:20 p.m. Wallace seconded the motion.

Helmer announced that Doug Jones was the new member of the Riverfront Commission Wachal said that Jones' parents had owned property on the river that runs through Ann Arbor; that Jones has had continued interest in river preservation issues for much of his life. Rockwell announced that Roger Bruner has moved to 3016 Raven Street, Lovell moved to approve the minutes of the June 3, 1987 meeting, Stroh seconded, The motion passed unanimously. 11 Stroh gave Rockwell a copy of the University parking map, He no that Harrison Street between Madison and Capitol is no longer a city street but belongs entirely to the University, Parking there is considered to be part of the adjacent student storage lot, The public can purchase parking Permits for the Harrison Storage Area for $q,25 per month during the period when the University is not in full session (mid-May to late Au - Stroh noted that during certain periods in the summer, ywhich ear to year with the sports camp schedule, certain Universityvary ry from lots students with are not patrolled and anyone can park there, During the school year, theuriarking ngis athe school listaOf st d students whoe stickers ywishktonthe purchase storage stickers during the school year, the general public may not purchase parking stick- ers then. University faculty and staff parking lots are always off limits to the general public. Public parking meters exist in some areas on Uni- versity property, Rockwell reported that she had spoken to the City's Traffic Engineer, He o' told her that all parking on City property In that area is either metered or prohibited. Rockwell said if the Commission wishes to request capital improvements in this area, the request must be submitted in November to be considered for the FY89 capital improvements budget. She noted that if parking spaces were created, there would be difficulty in trying to re- serve them for fisherpersons. Lovell said that currently fisherpersons must be parking somewhere in spite of the difficulty, Watson asked about the possibility of a parking ramp on Madison. No one thought land values were currently high enough in the area for that to be a possibility, Riverfront Commission July 8, 1987 Page 2 Helmer reported that he and Stroh had inspected the east river bank south of Burlington Street Dam. Helmer said immediate access is a problem; that the University construction fence means a person must walk a few extra blocks. Helmer said the path was narrow, overgrown, rough, poison ivy infested, but accessible. Watson raised the issue of safety in the area. Stroh said it was not clear what would be an improvement in the area. Stroh said he could ask the University to put one trash can out. Lovell said the Commission should get clarification from Neubauer about what he wanted. Helmer thought the City should explore leasing a triangle of land from CRANDIC to provide better access and improvements once the University construction is completed. Watson suggested building a footbridge that people could fish off of. Stroh said the west bank had more room, a more gentle slope, and more fill than the east bank. Lovell asked for further information regarding parking for fishermen in Davenport. She thought the Davenport City Council had recently acted on the issue. Helmer agreed to check on it and report back. Rockwell reported that Neubauer's petition has been forwarded to Council. Wachal ulose rged Commission not othe osight railroadnd the potential Commission agreed to let the situation stand as it is until the University construction fence is removed in 1989. DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF THE 1987 ANNUAL REPORT Stroh recommended the word "scrutiny" be changed to "preservation" in the last sentence of the third paragraph of the draft report. Watson recom- mended a dash be put between the words "sidewalk" and "to" and between the words "to" and "riprap" at the bottom of the first page. Helmer asked about the activities of the Mayor's Youth Employment Program and wondered if clearing brush along the river might be a worthwhile project. He suggested a specific reference be made to Ralston Creek. Others felt the reference to Iowa River tributaries was adequate, and that the inclusion of Ralston Creek had been accomplished informally. Wachal asked whether the informational map should be listed as an activity planned for FY88. Rockwell said the Commission had decided to postpone work on the informational map until several improvements along the river, such as the Coralville Connection trail and the rowing club boathouse were complete. The consensus was to wait another year before undertaking a map/brochure project. P' Lovell asked about a FY87 Planned Activity, officially including Ralston Creek as part of the Commission's purview. Watson said it had been inves- tigated. Wachal said the Commission accomplished what it set out to do, but on an informal basis. /031 Riverfront Commission July 8, 1987 Page 3 Wachal asked about including a statement regarding the study of fishing access along the Iowa River. He noted that a lot ofmeetingnng tithehad been devoted to it, and the first phase of the project, nt status of the Burlington Street Dam area, had been accomplished. O'Brien suggested that a vane study be included on the list as a proposed activity. Wachal suggested a statement andinclvarious methodsto the eCofthat the erosion Commission had studied nitrates, oxygen control including vanes and the Palmiter method. The discussion proceeded to the section on planned activities. for O'Brien asked if all sources of federal money for riverbank improvement projects had been exhausted. Helmer said that they had not, and more in- vestigation could be done in that area. .O'Brien thoughtien staffd for should scan the Federal Register for relevant programs. for mation about what had been done along the Missouri River at Sioux City and where the money came from. Watson said that he and Bruner were reviewing the Stanley Plan to see what could be implemented in terms of a river corridor system. Helmer asked about land acquisition possibilities. Watson said part of the hotel/motel tax was slated for park land acquisition but specific areas had not been targeted yet. Wachal mentioned the possibility of conservation easements. Stroh asked about the Coralville Connection path.

Lovell noted that Project GREEN's focus was on a walkway not a bike pon• wasmforatheseRsorts11ofoprofind jectsout locatedthe onRraDil- IC Railroad contact person road property. Watson expressed an interest in focusing on a walkway on the west side of the river from Iowa Avenue to Burlington Street. Helmer agreed and suggested the Stanley report was too grandiose to be imple- mented all at once. He thought if it could be started in small phases, then it might gain momentum, interest thatwould reportsrise, be mobta nedrd the f om Daven- ect could port then completed. Wachal suggested port on how that community accomplished its trail project along Duck Creek. In answer to a question concerning the types of project being undertaken o• by the Johnson County Environmental Coalition, Rockwell said from there was sta railroad right -of way to bikepatannedh conversion being p Solon to West Branch. She said the trail is eventually to connect with the Cedar Rapids to Waterloo bike trail and that JCEC has requested assis- tance. Stroh said he strongly encouraged using railroad right-of-ways.

O'Brien suggested that the cleanup day activ- ity dovetail with the nationwide fix up/paint up day. Wachal reviewed the list of FY87 accomplishments and said he thought the Commission would want to continue most of them. MOTION: Wachal moved Report in substance unanimously. OTHER BUSINESS: to approve the FY87 Riverfront Commission's Annual as discussed. Stroh seconded. The motion passed Helmer asked the group about whether they wished to go on a canoe trip. The members said they did and September 12 was the date tentatively agreed upon. Various possible routes were considered. MOTION: Watson moved to float from below the Coralville Reservoir Dam to F grater Park in Coral- ville. Wachal seconded. The motion passed. Rockwell will make the necessary arrangements. Wachal asked about the status of the parking lot request by a concrete company for the south end of Sturgis Ferry Park. Rockwell reported that the applicant had abandoned the idea. Rockwell asked the Commissioners how they felt about having focused issue discussions and speakers for Riverfront Commission meetings. Concern was expressed over the meetings going too long in such cases and/or not giving the speaker adequate time. Helmer felt the business meeting should be completely separate from the speaker. Wachal suggested having a topic with a speaker every other month with short business meetings. Then alternate months would be available for extended business meetings. The Commissioners thought that idea might be workable and decided to try it. Watson agreed to report with Bruner on the river corridor plan at the October meeting. ADJOURNMENT: O'Brien moved to adjourn. Watson seconded. Meeting adjourned at 9 PM. Minutes submitted by Christine Mullen. .0. MINUTES BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT JUNE 16, 1987 - 4:30 P.M. CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS MEMBERS PRESENT: Fisher, Mask, Randall MEMBERS ABSENT: Messier, Hinegarden STAFF PRESENT: Boyle, Moen, Mullen GUESTS PRESENT: Clemens Erdahl CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF MAY 13, 1987: Fisher said on page 5 under item 2, in the fourth line of the first para- graph, the word should be "adjoin" instead of "enjoin." Fisher said on page 9 under item 3, in the eighth line of the second paragraph it should read, "Knapp suspected most realtors would not point that out..." Fisher said on page 10 under item 5, the sentence in the first paragraph begin- ning "She said the petition plus..." should be struck and replaced by "She said the petitioners, plus the MacFarlanes and Mr. Knapp (who represent all the single-family property owners outside the 'doodlawn area) would be the area most affected by a group home." Mask said on page 14 the first sentence of the last paragraph was unclear. Randall said the word "ex- pecting" should be changed to "expected" in that sentence. Randall moved to accept the May 13, 1987, minutes as corrected. Mask seconded. The motion passed unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF MAY 20, 1987: Randall moved to accept the minutes of May 20, 1987. Mask seconded. The motion passed unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF THE FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS IN REGARD TO SE -8705: Fisher and Mask expressed concern about the accuracy of the wording of the last sentence on page 2, saying that the list of criminal activities was incomplete and should be completed or omitted. Mask said the Board was influenced by the general behavior of the girls both past and present. Randall said the key was the current admission policy, referred to on page 3. Randall moved to strike the last sentence on page 2 from the findings and conclusions. Mask seconded. Mask said the current admissions policy would not have held as much weight if former residents of the home had P• been involved in violent crime, so she favored including a general state- ment to that effect. Mask withdrew her second. The last sentence of the second page was rewritten to read, "The criminal activities which the applicant's adolescent female clientele have engaged in do not pose a threat to neighbors." Clemens Erdahl, the lawyer for Dean Oakes, the MacFarlanes, and Lea Vandervelde requested to have the opportunity to protest procedure. Boyle recommended that the Chair not entertain any comments or testimony at the meeting. He said if there were problems with the minutes or the findings and conclusions that the proper procedure to handle those problems was /0 3 i .o• • BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT JUNE 16, 1987 PAGE 2 through a writ of certiorari to the court. Erdahl said he was objecting to the findings and conclusions being prepared post hoc to the making of the decision. That procedure does not enable the people who wish to raise complaints to know the bases upon which the decision is being made, and, therefore, to present evidence or reasons why they do not feel the final conclusion should be reached. Erdahl said he felt the issue of concentra- tion of more than one facility and the traffic issue had not been ade- quately addressed with evidence in the findings and conclusions. Fisher said he saw no purpose served by reopening the hearing. Randall moved to adopt the findings and conclusions for 5E-8705 as amended. Mask seconded. Moen polled the Board. The nation passed unani- mously. The next regular meeting of the Board of Adjustment is July 8. Meeting adjourned at 5:08 p.m. Minutes submitted by Christine Mullen.

CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF JUNE 16, 1987: Fisher asked if a response to Erdahl should be included. Franklin said that there were tapes but it would be -appropriate to include a response for the record. On page 2, paragraph 2, Erdahl had stated the topic of concentration of more than one facility had not been properly discussed. Fisher had replied the Board was aware of this issue and that all judg- ments and decisions were based on this knowledge. Randall moved to approve the June 16, 1987, minutes as corrected. Mask seconded. The motion passed unanimously by a 4-0 vote. ADDITION TO THE MINUTES OF MAY 20, 1987: Although the minutes had been approved previously, Randall requested that on page 5, line 5, the statement "Structures are concentrated" be changed to read "Affordable structures tend to be concentrated in a limited area." SPECIAL EXCEPTION ITEM: 1. 5E-8707. Rockwell stated that Linder Tire, Inc. had been granted two speciaT exceptions in 1986: to reduce the front yard requirement and to expand the use. The present request to expand the use would in- crease the warehouse floor space by 4,480 square feet. Rockwell stated the requirements of 5E-8707. Thirty-six parking spaces would be constructed to fulfill the parking requirement. Sec- tion 36-58(c)(1) requires that the parking area and drives be paved. Rockwell stated this would be an improvement to both access and use. The site plan indicated that Section 36-73(b)(2)a requirements that o• all parking spaces be within 60 feet of a large tree would be met. Section 36-76(j) requires that existing natural vegetation be indi- cated on the site plan. Under Section 36-76(j)(4) the City Building Official waived the screening requirements because the view between the river and the use was blocked by existing vegetation. Linder Tire, Inc, must replace any lost vegetation in conformance with the screen- ing requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff recommended granting a special exception to permit the expansion of an existing auto and truck -oriented use at 632 South Riverside Drive subject,to the applicant meeting all City Code requirements. ,D X 80ARD OF ADJUSTMENT JULY 8, 1987 PAGE 2 Fisher asked if the special exceptions previously approved had parking layout in the back.

APPROVAL OF DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE'S ANNUAL REPORT FOR FY87 P Cain directed attention to the fourth item of the section "Plans for FY1988."
