Riverview Estates - Part Two A revised preliminary plat of Riverview Estates - Part Two has been sub- mitted by the applicant, Mr. Byron Beeler. The plat first appeared before the Commission on March 20, 1986, and was deferred pending resolution of deficiencies and discrepancies outlined in the March 10, 1986, staff report which is attached. Also enclosed is a revised staff report dated May 12, 1986, by Mr. Jud Te Paske, County Planner. Once again, the pro- posed subdivision is being submitted to Iowa City for review and comment pursuant to an annexation agreement between Iowa City and Coralville. The subdivision lies within an area which can only be annexed by Iowa City, although it is within the two-mile extraterritorial limit of Coralville. The initial plat proposed to establish a 20 -lot, single-family residential subdivision having an average lot size of 0.46 acres. Included within the subdivision was 6.93 acres of open space located adjacent to Lower River Road. A unique feature of the subdivision was a proposed sanitary sewer and sand filter system. This system was not accepted by the Johnson County Health Department and necessitated a redesign of the proposed subdivision. The revised preliminary plat of Riverview Estates - Part 2 proposes a 12 -lot, single-family residential subdivision with lots ranging in size from 1.0 to 3.1 acres on individual septic tanks. As a result of the increase in lot sizes, the open space area was eliminated. Street pat- terns remain substantially the same, except the principal road no longer extends through the subdivision to the south property line. The revised plat shows this street ending in a cul-de-sac, 266 feet north of the subdivision's south property line. Staff feels that provision for future street extension to the subdivision's boundary will need to be provided for access to the abutting property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: A number of the items listed in the March 10, 1986, staff report have yet to be resolved with the submission of the revised preliminary plat. There- fore, staff continues to recommend that the City of Coralville be advised that a recommendation for approval of this item is contingent upon resolu- tion of the following items: 1. That in lieu of extending the principal street to the subdivision's boundary, a 50 -foot wide travel easement be extended to the subdivi- sion's boundary from the cul-de-sac to allow for its future extension if necessary. 96/ PAGE 2 2. That the internal street serving the 12 -lot subdivision be identified by name including the street connecting this subdivision with Riverview Estates - Part 1. 3. That provision be made for future stormwater detention or that a 100 -year channel to the Iowa River be provided. 4. That the maximum grade of the internal street connected to Riverview Estates - Part 1 be reduced to not more than 12 percent. 5. Indicate that telephone and electric utilities shall be underground. 6. That the minimum corner radius of the internal street's intersection with Stewart Road be identified as having a 20 foot radius. 7. That a letter be submitted by the developer's engineer establishing a fire rating for the area being developed and that a letter be provided from the fire protection district approving the spacing, location, number of fire hydrants, size of mains, pressure, etc. nrrnm we�.x 1.

Riverview Estates, Part 2 GE14ERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Requested action: Existing land use and zoning: Comprehensive Plan: 45 -day limitation period: Prepared by: Jud Te Paske Date: May 12, 1986 =1� Byron Beeler P.O. Box 129 Ft. Walton Beach, FL 32549 Amended preliminary plat approval. Twelve lot residential subdivi- sion. South side of Stewart Road at its intersection with Lower River Road along the Iowa River in Penn Township. 18.62 acres. Site - undeveloped floodplain - RS/A3. North - Woodland Valley Estates - RS/A3. South - undeveloped floodplain - RS/A3. East - Zaizer Addition - A3. West - Riverview Estates, Part One - RS. Corridor Development Plan - de- velopment encouraged in accor- dance with county performance standards. Zoning Commission: 6/26/86 Board of Supervisors: The amended plat as submitted proposes the subdivision of the property into twelve lots instead of the original 20. In doing so it enlarges each lot and eliminates the open space previously in the flood land on the property. Each lot contains a minimum of one ac__ and each will provide for the instal- lation of an individual septic system.A common well and water distribution system is still part of the proposal. 94/ 2 The plan again calls for a significant amount of grading to create a build- able plateau above the 663 -foot elevation and each of the lots does contain at least 40,000 square feet above the flood level. Some question may remain as to the suitability of these cut or filled areas for adequate absorption field locations. The amended plat has one other design change which involves the road. The new design proposes a cul-de-sac instead of the temporary dead end at the west boundary of the tract. Since this parcel adjoins an undeveloped prop- erty, a temporary dead end is permissible and because this tract is virtually land locked by Jt4be undeveloped wet lands the staff recommends the extension of the interior street to the�pr%erty boundary. The street system will require other minor modifications including the provision of a minimum 20 -foot radius intersection curve at Stewart Road and the naming of both he east -west street and the street entering Part Y.Ooo thint north -south access for Part One also brings attention to the need for examin- ing and expanding the developer's agreement and the obligations established for use and cost sharing of the interior streets. Currently the subdivider's agreement contains no provision indicating shared responsibilities for the construction and/or maintenance of this connecting roadway. It should also be pointed out that the portion of the street extension within Part One is unimproved at this time and is serving as additional lot area. RECOMMENDATION The amended plat satisfies the major deficiencies presented by the original application. Several minor discrepancies remain to be resolved, however, and subject to their satisfactory completion, the staff does recommend approval of this preliminary plat. DISCREPANCIES 1. Extend road to western boundary. 2. Name interior streets. 3. Provide minimum 20 -foot turning radius at Stewart Road. 4. Interior streets cannot exceed 12% grade. 5. Revise subdivider's agreement regarding connecting road responsibilities. 6. Obtain approval from the City of Coralville. ?41 -Al ANALYSIS Riverview Estates, Part Two, lies within the City of Coralville's two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction and is subject to the review and approval by Coralville and Johnson County. The subdivision, however, is located within an area which can only be annexed by Iowa City as established in an annexation agreement between the City of Iowa City and City of Coralville, dated August 3, -- 1976. Iowa City "must have a reasonable opportunity" to examine any subdivision within an area defined by the agreement and report the City's findings to Coralville prior to their formal action on the subdivision. For background information concerning this request, please refer to the at- tached staff report dated March 10, 1986, prepared by Jud Te Paske, Senior Planner, JCCOG Rural Planning. Both the City Engineer and Assistant Building Official for the City of Coralville have reviewed the plat and have recommended its approval. Also attached to the report is a "LETTER OF INTENT" submitted by Mr. Beeler regarding the proposed subdivision. The feature unique to this subdivision is that [s]anitary sewers and sand filter, wastewater treatment facilities will be provided to serve the subdivision... This system has not as of yet been approved by the Johnson County Health Department. If this system is unacceptable, and an acceptable alternative system cannot be devel- oped, lot sizes will need to be increased to a minimum of one (1) acre for individual lot septic systems. The long-range Comprehensive Plan of Iowa City does not anticipate annexation of this area within the next twenty years. 6/ STAFF REPORT To: Planning and Zoning Commission Prepared by: Barry Beagle Item: S-8603.

Box 129 Fort Walton Beach, FL 32549 Requested action: Preliminary plat approval. Purpose: 20 lot residential subdivi- sion. Location: South side of Stewart Road at its intersection with Lower River Road along the Iowa River in Penn Township. Size: 18.62 acres Existing land use and zoning: Site - Undeveloped floodplain - RS/A3 North - Woodland Valley Estates - RS/A3 South - Undeveloped floodplain - RS/A3 East - Zaizer Addition - A3 West - Riverview Estates Part 1 -RS Comprehensive Plan: Corridor Development Plan -development encouraged in accordance with County perform- ance standards. 45 -day limitation period: Zoning Commission - 4-14-86 Board of Supervisors - ANALYSIS The plat of Riverview Estates, Part 2 proposes to develop an additional 20 lots adjoining Riverview Estates, Part 1. Primary access to the development will be provided onto Stewart Road and internal circulation will extend to the existing street system in Part 1 and the undeveloped property lying south of the subdi- vision. A 24' crushed rock street will be built within a 60' right-of-way to qe/ PAGE 2 service the lots in Part 2. The property lies within the review jurisdiction of the City of Coralville and will also undergo a courtesy review by the City of Iowa City. This site has a majority of its area within the 100 a floo level of the Iowa River. The developer proposes to compensate or his fact by substantial gradin n fi irlg_ work- to create a plateau in the western two-thirds of the site. This land will be graded to a level above the 662' elevation floodplain and is intended forthe roadway and lots on either side. In order to maximize the use of this tract, the developer also proposes to utilize common sewage treatment systems and thereby be enabled to reduces lot sizes below the one acre requirement. Th=s _possible.only _if ihe_deve]opment is provided with public sewer and public water facilities A further technical difficulty is encountered in the County subdivision regula- tions which state that, "No loti of one acre__or. less.de flo .shall incluod lands It is reasonably clear that this requirement did not envision the conversion of floodplain land into residential lots or the use of common sewer and water facilitlies to reduce lot sizes. Regardless, a variance will be required to authorize approval of the subdivision. One final requirement applies to flood land development. Newly adopted Flood Plain Management Regulations require application fora Flood Plain Development Permit. This permit is in addition to any and all other required permits ana Must be ss proceed by the County Zoning Administrator. The final approval of this permit will accompany the approval and recording of the final plat. Notwithstanding the numerous questions and procedural requirements encountered because of the presence of flood lands in this project, the proposal is rela- tively simple. All the lots have direct access to a satisfactor street. All lots will be connected to a common water and sewer sys em. A homeowners asso- ciation will be established to assuu re the continued: maintenance of these fa- cilities including the open space and participation in cost sharing for the maintenance of Stewart Road and Lower River Road. on The consideration of this preliminary andawhether the t rests glot sizes ely on ecan ebef reduced septic systems as a 'p below the requirement for lots using private sewer systems and lots whit include flood lands. RECOMMENDATIONS The design of the reliminary_plat in eneral conforms to the requirements of the County sub ivision regulations. However, 5e'ca'use the question of —fhe use Lr-sEly-age .tuatmer,Lt_facili.t.ng as a "public system" yet to be of the resolved and because a variant= permitting the reduction of lot sizes is re- quired, the staff recommends deferral until these issues are settled. Discrepancies 1. Coralville approval. 2. Determination on "public system." 3. Variance on lot size. q. Inadequate culvert size on Stewart Road. ?A/ ---------------- I =1kl-t LETTER OF INTENT r D Zoning Commission of Johnson County, Iowa FOD ?1IR- Board of Supervisors of Johnson County, Iowa Court House Iowa City, Iowa 52240 MARIAN !t.
