CI -1 ZONE CnNsm TATrnu uTTU TOC Keei W -C39, Side 2/Senior Center The City Council met with the Planning and Zoning Commission to discuss the proposed ordinance to amend the provisions of the CI -1 zone to allow small scale industries and similar uses as provisional uses within the CI -1 zone. Franklin distributed a map outlining the CI -1 zone, a diagram comparing 10,000 square foot and 5,000 square foot buildings on typical lots in the CI -1 zone, and a list of businesses and their respective building sizes that currently exist in Iowa City and Coralville. Ambrisco stated the City Council felt the 5,000 square foot limitation was too restrictive. Scott stated the Planning and Zoning Commission discussed whether or not industrial uses should be mixed with commercial uses; an inclusive listing of permitted uses; and the impact on the CI -1 zoned areas. Wallace stated the Planning and Zoning Commission discussed limit- ing the size of the building to minimize the impact on abutting residen- tial zones. Cooper commented that a larger building size would create additional traffic problems. Dierks said a 5,000 square foot building would accommodate industries compatible with commercial zoning. Zuber stated a 10,000 square foot maximum would allow more businesses to utilize the area. Horowitz said the entire CI -1 zone should be considered. Wallace noted parking requirements need to be considered. Courtney stated a labor intensive manufacturer could create parking problems. Franklin stated parking requirements are set up by use, manufacturing requires one parking space per 600 square feet and retail uses require one parking space per 200 square feet. Clark stated the proposed change is a feeble attempt to revitalize the Highland Court/Gilbert Street area and additional access and egress is needed in the area. Clark said the proposed change would not be needed if street changes were made to allow additional access to the area. Scott reported that Ray Muston has stated that regardless of zoning in the Highland Court area, businesses did not pursue locating in the area be- cause of the price. Scott suggested that a new zone classification could be developed if there was a need for an area for smaller industrial uses. M MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION SEPTEMBER 28, 1987 PAGE 2 Franklin suggested that the 5,000 square foot limitation be attributable just to manufacturing portions of a particular business entity and to use the special exception process for larger sized businesses. Courtney stated it is difficult to consider the proposed change to the CI -1 zone without knowing if Boyrum Street will be extended into the Highland Court area. Horowitz and Wallace disagreed. Dierks stated the entire CI -1 zone should be considered. Franklin noted that any of the uses located in the CI -1 zone have to comply with the existing performance standards. McDonald stated there should be some flexibility to allow for the promo- tion of economic development. Horowitz asked Council members for response regarding an inclusive list. Ambrisco stated he is opposed to including an inclusive list. Horowitz said the intent of a section in an ordinance guides a permitted use. Franklin said that if a use is not included in the list of permitted uses and there is any ambiguity of the use, the City's interpretation panel usually takes a conservative approach when considering that use and advocate a change in the list of permitted use to specifically include the use in questsion. Council and the Commission agreed there should be a 5,000 square foot maximum for an entire business entity, a special exception for businesses between 5,000 and 10,000 square feet and businesses exceeding the 10,000 square feet not be allowed. COUNCIL MEMBERS ADJOURNED AT 7:15 TO THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED INFORMAL COUNCIL MEETING AT THE CIVIC CENTER. Ambrisco reconvened the informal Council discussion at the Civic Center at 7:30 p.m. PLANNING AND ZONING MATTERS: Reel 87-C42 Side 1/Civic Center G.

The preliminary plat has been Planning and Zoning Commission and RY PLAT OF ROCHESTER PLACE. A 22 -LOT ano Lomng Uomnission recommended in favor of the resolution approving the preliminary plat of Rochester Place. Beagle noted that staff wanted one of the lots fronting First Avenue incorporated within the subdivision, whereas the Planning and Zoning Commission felt incorpo- ration of that lot within the subdivision may be difficult because of the stormwater management configuration. Courtney inquired about the specific plans for the stormwater management, the lot fronting on First Avenue, and provisions for sidewalks. Franklin presented over- head projections of the subdivision plat showing the locations of the stormwater management basin, the street serving the subdivision, and the single-family lots. Franklin explained there are drainage ease- ments along the backs of the lots which feed into beehive inlets, allowing the water to flow into open swales into the stormwater man- agement basin. In response to Courtney, Franklin said the individual property owners will be responsible for maintenance of beehives and drainage swales; of the whole system works, the stormwater flow for the area will not be greater than it is now and could be less; and if water builds up in the drainage swales it may go into adjacent proper- ties within the subdivision or spill over to adjacent properties outside the subdivision. Franklin stated the City Engineer will be present at Tuesday's formal Council meeting. Franklin said staff does not know how the lot fronting First Avenue, Lot 22, will be developed. Courtney raised concerns about the devel- opment of Lot 22's impact on the Bel Air Subdivision. Franklin presented overhead projection of the subdivision plat showing the location of area schools in relationship to the proposed subdivi- sion and the proposed sidewalk. In response to McDonald, Franklin stated the proposed sidewalk is 600 feet long and would be maintained by abutting property owners. Councilmembers and staff discussed maintenance of the sidewalk. In response to Courtney, Atkins said a sketch plan of the stormwater management area has been prepared and a budget estimate for the project is one-half million dollars. Timmins addressed the issue of sidewalk maintenance and the stormwater manage- ment basin. Timmins explained that with the stormwater management basin, the City currently requires the developer to undertake, by covenant with regard to a specific lot, the maintenance of the storm - water management basin and the same technique could be used for the maintenance of the sidewalk. Franklin explained there have been problems associated with the Homeowners Association being responsible 1. d MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION SEPTEMBER 28, 1987 PAGE 4 for maintenance of the stormwater management tsb sin be ause woo d of changes in ownership.

Franklin said that if Council disagrees with that paragraph, Council should make changes. Ambrisco noted that City staff notified all interested persons in the area that this item will be considered at Tuesday's formal Council meeting. Dean Thornberry said he is avail- able for questions regarding proposed development in the area. In response to a question from the public, Ambrisco said the traffic survey will be confined to the Highway 6 area. NEWSPAPER VENDING MACHINES: Reel 87-C42, Side 2 Cain stated Councilmembers received Design Review Committee chairperson Welt's September 28, 1987, memo regarding banks of newspaper dispensers for Iowa City Central Business District; Boyle's June 26, 1987, memo regarding regulation of newspaper racks on public propertyraft several ; and the d ordinance. Cain stated the Design Review Committee (DRC) has worked far a long time to have modular units in the City Plaza that would contain newspaper vending machines. Cain reported the City ordinance states the city will prove modular units within the plaza. Cain stated that in 1985 the te CB area be confined t R clustersofnewsracksd that winamodularper dun9ts and withintheh locaD tions would be selected in consultation with newspaper distributors. Cain noted the recommendations are not intended to prohibit newspaper vending in the downtown area, but to provide for it in an orderly manner. Ambrisco stated newspaper distributors need to cooperate and demonstrate that they are sincere in wanting to maintain the atmosphere and ambiance of the Central Business District and downtown plaza. Councilmembers and staff discussed placement and design of the modular units. Councilmembers agreed an ordinance taking into consideration the DRC's recommendation should be established to allow use of public property for newsracks. JOINT HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES FACILITIES: Reel 87-C42, Side 2 McDonald reported City Council and County Board of Supervisor representa- tives met to discuss a joint facility to house human service agencies. McDonald stated the former Regina Elementary building (across from St. Patrick's) was recently appraised at $320,000. Councilmembers noted consolidation of human service agencies may create a cost savings and more efficient delivery of services. Councilmembers directed staff to continue to pursue the concept of a joint human service agency facility. Atkins stated he will prepare a preliminary report. o• COUNCIL TIME/AGENDA: Reel 87-C42, Side 2 I. Zuber questioned the status of the old public library.

Moen reviewed information relating to the proposed placement of the sidewalk linking Rochester Place from the turnaround of Rita Lyn Place to the east to First Avenue. Moen stated at an October 1, 1987, meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission restated .o its recommendation that the sidewalk be installed at the time all improvements are made to the subdivision. In response to Ambrisco, Moen said the resolution only states approval of the plat and that plat now only shows an easement. Moen stated that Council would need to amend the resolution or refer to the fact that the resolution would be approved with the modification that a sidewalk be included if they wished to approve the plat with the presence of the sidewalk. Courtney discussed the proposed sidewalk. Moen explained that if the sidewalk were installed now, it would be the developer's responsibility and, most likely, costs associated with the installation of the sidewalk would be prorated to each lot. Moen said if placement of the sidewalk is postponed until it is evident that there is a need for it, only three property owners would be responsible for its installation. Jack Newman, 2038 Ridgeway, stated that additional pedestrian traffic cutting through his property would be a nuisance and the developer should provide a means for pedestrians to exit the area. In response to Dickson and Courtney, Timmins stated the liability to cities re- garding snow removal from sidewalks has been relieved and that liabil- ity is more directly attributable to the abutting owners. Timmins explained that if there is a property over which there is an access easement and that easement is not approved for access but nonetheless becomes a means for access, the City as owner of the easement has some liability. Councilmembers received input from Sally Dierks, Larry Schnittjer and Dean Oakes. Moen stated the issue of when to install the sidewalk needs to be resolved before the preliminary plat is approved. Moen stated City staff and the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion recommended approval of the preliminary plat with provisions for the sidewalk at the time other improvements to the subdivision are made. Dean Oakes stated the maintenance and liability of the sidewalk should be shared by all lot owners in the area. Timmins stated the commitment to maintain the sidewalk could be provided by a covenant running with the land and in the deed that would go to each property owner. Timmins said a homeowners association could be required to assume responsibility for the maintenance of the sidewalk as part of the subdivider's agreement and covenant running with the land. Timmins said the covenant could also apply to the maintenance of the storm - water management system. Dierks said the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion did discuss neighborhood responsibility for maintenance of the sidewalk and stormwater management system. Moen stated concerns were raised regarding the ability of a homeowners association to be respon- sible for maintenance of the sidewalk. Timmins stated the covenant could be drafted to provide that if the homeowners association does not perform their responsibility to maintain the sidewalk or the stormwater management system, the City would retain the ability to do the work and assess costs against individual lots and the homeowners association. Dierks noted the sidewalk placed along the stormwater detention basin would provide a safe walking area for children. In response to Courtney, Schnittjer stated the stormwater management system will work if it is properly maintained and modification to the outlet structure would be required if the system were to be abandoned. Schnittjer reviewed the design and location of the proposed stormwater management system. 3 COUNCIL AGENDA/TIME: Reel 87-C46, Side 2 1. Courtneystated Council received information from Traffic Engr. Brach tel regarding the Court Street/Muscatine Avenue intersection. Courtney stated area residents would prefer a crossing guard at the intersection. The matter will be discussed at the 10/6 formal meet- ing. 2. In response to Dickson, Atkins said said the traffic light at Sunset and Benton Street is scheduled to be installed within the next 30 days and Schmadeke will meet with the University Heights engineer to dis- cuss work at the intersection. 3.

If the Council is opposed to the rezoning, the appropriate response is a negative vote on the ordinance and an affirmative vote on the resolu- tion of denial. Franklin explained the resolution of denial sets forth the reasons for denial and this procedure will be used for future rezoning denials. In response to McDonald, Franklin said use of the property as an attorney's office was an illegal use and zoning would allow a duplex if parking requirements could be met. Franklin said any use would have to meet parking requirements. H. Resolution to den the roposed rezoning of 528 Iowa Avenue from RiC-20 to CB -2. See a ove i em. I.

Council agreed to the access to Boyrum Street restrictions as outlined; to in into the legal papers and plat the agreement between the developer and neighborhood property owners regarding allocation of funds for plantings; and to escrow i funds from the developer equal to the cost of installation of the sidewalk. Council also agreed there should be a buried drainage pipe from Boyrum Street west to the culvert under Highway 6 and provisions for a right -turning lane and a combined thru-traffic/left-turning lane. I FIRST AVENUE/ROCHESTER SUBDIVISION: Reel 87-C48, Side 1 Ambrisco stated the policy requiring secondary access in subdivisions where more than 29 units exist needs to be addressed by Council. Ambrisco noted that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Iowa City a number of years ago, requiring a developer to provide secondary access to a subdivision. Larry Schnittjer, MMS Consultants representative, explained that sometimes area for a secondary access is not available from the size of the subdivi- sion. Franklin spoke in favor of the requirement for secondary access because of safety concerns. Franklin said secondary access needs to be resolved with development of First Avenue and Rochester Subdivision Part 3 and it is a safety issue. Franklin suggested that the City could partici- pate in providing secondary access through the use of condemnation powers with the developer paying the cost for land acquisition and building the street. Ambrisco stated something should be worked out to allow for property within Iowa City to be developed. McDonald said flexibility o should be maintained in the policy. In response to McDonald, Franklin said no plats have been submitted for First Avenue/Rochester Subdivision Part 3 and the Planning and Zoning Commission has only held informal discussions relating to that subdivision. In response to Zuber, Franklin said the Dean Oakes Subdivision and Prairie View Estates Subdivision do not have secondary access. Franklin noted that condemnation has to be for a public purpose and the public purpose would be to complete a segment of street network. In response to Courtney, Franklin said the Planning and 0 Z- a-6 Informal Council Discussion October 19, 1987 Page 3 Zoning Commission has reviewed the First Avenue and Scott Boulevard align- ments as shown in the Comprehensive Plan, the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion has not discussed interior alignments for First Avenue and Rochester Subdivision Part 3 and the alignment for Scott Boulevard never directly connected to I-80. Ambrisco stated the concept of using the City's con- demnation powers in conjunction with developers should be pursued. McDonald said safety issues cannot be ignored. SPECIAL VEHICLE ORDINANCE: Reel 87-C49, Side 1 Ambrisco stated the Special Vehicle Committee completed a proposal for Council consideration and that proposal represents a consensus of Commit- tee members except for the provision which would prohibit the storage of special vehicles within a vision triangle of the intersection of a drive- way with a sidewalk. Boothroy stated the ordinance does represent a compromise in an effort to meet the needs of the City and special vehicle owners. Courtney said the vision triangle issue is a safety concern. Council agreed to forward the proposed draft to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their review and recommendation. A citizen representing special vehicle owners stated he has never heard of an accident caused by special vehicles backing out of a driveway. UNIVERSITY SEWER RATE POLICY: Reel 87-C49, Side 1 Atkins stated the City received correspondence from the University of Iowa proposing the City and the University enter into negotiations for a new contract with respect to sewer service. Atkins cautioned the Council that any proposal to reduce University rates for sewer charges would create increased costs for every other sewer user. Atkins noted he has reviewed the Ames agreement and cannot recommend using a similar agreement. Atkins asked Council for guidance where the rates should be a bargainable issue. Councilmembers agreed the issue of rates should not be a bargainable item during negotiations with the University for a new sewer service contract. BUDGET POLICY DISCUSSION: Reel 87-C49, Side 1 Atkins stated Council received his October 13th memo regarding preparation of budget - FY89 and October 16th memo regarding budget policy. Atkins explained he will cost out and balance the budget for the current program of services and make available a list of budget issues and service reduc- tions. Ambrisco said the budget preparation process should involve new incoming Councilmembers. McDonald stated all City departments and all aspects of the budget should be reviewed.
