Chris Trout, representative from Sigma Tau Gamna fraternity, stated the fraternity will present a complete site plan within two weeks. Baker stated City staff should not have to do the site plan work for the fraternity. Beagle stated the fraternity have been told to get an accurate survey of the property that identifies the location of the structures and has met with professional surveyors. Ambrisco stated Council will defer action on this item for two weeks. E. Resolut pian 1s for single-family zero -lot line development. Franklin stated the developer did agree to provide an eight foot sidewalk along Mormon Trek Boulevard; one-half of the sidewalk costs will be paid for by the City; and the sidewalk will serve pedestrian and bicycle traffic. In response to Baker, Franklin explained the City always pays for part of the extra wide sidewalks because the wide sidewalks serve community- wide functions. I fi MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL MEETING JULY 28, 1986 PAGE 2 F. Resolution approving the preliminary and -- , i' ...^y o.- °9 womission recommended approval of the plan with the sipulation that the plan complies with the Stormwater Management Ordinance. Beagle said the City Carton Company plans to expand their operation and construct a new office building and vehicle maintenance building on the west side of the CRANDIC railroad tracks. Beagle asked Council to consider staff's recommendation to provide a sidewalk on the south side of Benton Street across the frontage of the City Carton Company property. Beagle explained that construction of the new County Administration Building will create increased pedes- trian traffic and a minor revision to the LSNRD plan would be needed to provide for a sidewalk. Beagle stated the Benton Street bridge plan includes designs for a sidewalk along the south side of the bridge. In response to Baker, Beagle stated the City Carton Company would be required to pay for the sidewalk across their property. Bob Downer, representing City Carton Company, stated City Carton objects to installing a sidewalk on the south side of Benton Street across their property frontage because the location is not an appropriate place to encourage pedestrian traffic. Downer stated pedestrian traf- fic should not be encouraged because of City Carton's truck movement, the distance from the curb to the property line is only six to seven feet, City Carton would need to obtain consent from CRANDIC Railroad to place a sidewalk on the property leased from CRANDIC Railroad, and the traffic moves rapidly around the corner at the Benton Street and Clinton Street intersection. Downer stated that fewer safety risks would be created by pedestrians using the sidewalk on the north side of Benton Street. Beagle stated staff recommended provision of a sidewalk on the south side of Benton Street for public safety reasons. In response to Courtney, Beagle said the Benton Street bridge plans include sidewalks on both sides of the bridge. Baker asked for com- ments from the Planning and Zoning C onmission. Tom Scott stated the Planning and Zoning Commission felt it was unsafe to put pedestrians into the Clinton Street/Benton Street intersection and near the con- siderable amount of semi truck traffic backing into City Carton's loading dock. Scott stated the Planning and Zoning Commission recom- mended that pedestrian traffic be discouraged at the new County Ad- ministration Building by deleting the sidewalk west of the north -south sidewalk that runs on the west side of the County Administration Building and by making the entrance off of Benton Street to the County Administration Building parking lot one-way eastbound. Scott stated the Commission felt mixing the pedestrian traffic with industrial uses was creating a safety hazard. Ambrisco said he was not in favor of sidewalk along the south side of Benton Street and noted the resolu- tion does not include the provision of the sidewalk. In response to Baker, Ambrisco said four Council votes are needed to pass the resolu- tion at the formal Council meeting. MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL MEETING JULY 28, 1986 PAGE 3 G. wnnurst ZLreet. aeagie stated the riannnng and zoning Commission recommencedagainst the six lot subdivision because one lot, Lot 5, would access directly onto Rochester Avenue and Lower West Branch Road, which borders the subdivision to the south, would not be im- proved to City street standards. Beagle noted staff had recommended in favor of the subdivision. Beagle explained the Comprehensive Plan contains a policy that no direct access to a secondary arterial street should be provided but that there is no ordinance limiting access onto Rochester Street. Beagle stated that staff recommended that the right-of-way easement along Lower West Branch Road be dedicated to the City as public right-of-way and fall under the City's ownership and maintenance. Beagle said it would not be detrimental to allow the street to remain in its current form and the street would be improved and paid for by assessment when the property immediately to the west is developed. In response to Ambrisco, Beagle said a 40 -foot setback would have to be maintained on the lot directly accessing Rochester Avenue. In re- sponse to Baker, Beagle stated the only principal means of access onto Lot 5 is Rochester Avenue and Lot 6 is accessed from Lower West Branch Road. Timmins asked Council to defer action on this item if Council is considering denial of the resolution. Strait suggested redesign of the plat. Franklin asked for the Coun- cil's position on the paving of Lower West Branch Road to City stan- dards. Baker inquired about paving assessments. Franklin explained that there would be an assessment to property owners if the road is paved later. Franklin said that if the road is paved now, the devel- oper would pay for one-half of the cost and there would be an assess- ment to the property owner on the south side and property owners at the intersection. Marion Neely, representing Mr. Hodge and Mr. Oakes, stated that the Council cannot require a limitation on access onto Rochester because it is not specifically required by ordinance. Ambrisco stated Council will defer action for two weeks. Baker asked Timmins to consider if a formal policy is needed to limit access onto Rochester. Franklin stated staff will address policy related to arterials and secondary arterials when revisions of the subdivision regulations are done. H. Resolution aoorovina the oreliminary and final Larae Scale that Planning—andZoning recommended eight oo side—waTlis be installed along Mormon Trek Boulevard on this tract; the tract is located within the Airport Overlay Zone and therefore no objects located on the tract can exceed 763 feet in elevation; and upon rezoning the property from MINUTES INFORI4AL COUNCIL MEETING JULY 28, 1986 PAGE 4 County RIA to CO -1, a condition was agreed upon allowing only one access point located within 200 feet of the north property line onto Mormon irort Manager Trek.

Resolution approvingthe prelimir nary�andfi_ 'na�1 plat H an11 J. utn IeUe n.... W.. -.._ t e nor ern oundary of Iowa City's two mile extraterritorial juris diction and in Area 4 of the Fringe, Area. Moen explained that the Council and Planning and Zoning Commission previously denied a request to rezone three acres of the 45 acre tract for residential purposes. Now the Council is being asked to consider the request to subdivide the tract of land to be used for residential purposes. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve the subdivision but recommended that Council defer action pending resolution of the inconsistencies with the Area 4 policy..a May 28th to discuss for Areak4in sFranklin FringeCommittee theCounty Zoning Commission andiCity's Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended an alternative develop- ment policy that included limited residential development with per- formance standards. The Fringe committee representatives agreed to ask the City Council and Board of Supervisors what density is appro- priate for Area 4. Franklin asked the City Council to address the Area 4 policy then reconvene the Fringe Committee. Franklin stated the Fringe Area Agreement is enforced for 21 years and will be re- viewed this year. Tom McDonald, representinigg Boyds, McGurks and Jansens, asked Council to not defe. Mconald exthat family ownsronetion acreoandhwill resolutioneown the remaining 42 acresiasdtenantsach in common. McDonald said the restrictive covenants on the property are such that no one else can build on the property and no one can sell their owners. McDonalduntil saidtone homefirst mayoffered be builtthe on theapropertytwo nonow. w In response to Baker, Timmins stated the City has to approve plats within the City's two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction. Franklin noted the applicant has requested expedited action on this resolution. In response to Courtney, Franklin stated the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve the subdivision with the recommendation that Council defer action until the Fringe Area Policy is resolved. Ambrisco stated Council will defer action for two weeks. City Manager Atkins said discussion of the Fringe Area 4 Policy will be scheduled for Council discussion within two weeks. MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL FETING JULY 28, 1986 PAGE 5 appropriate for agricultural purposes is to impose urban design stan- dards on any rural subdivisions. Franklin said the standards were imposed on rural subdivisions before the Fringe Area Agreement was adopted. Ambrisco said Council will defer action on this recommenda- tion. ORD Scott stated the Planning and Zoning Commission felt that the ordinance should not be changed to address only one specific problem and if the ordinance were changed, it should include other natural features in addi- tion to the tree. Beagle said the ambiguity associated with "physical limitations" was deleted. Beagle said the only natural feature recognized by the current ordinance amendment is that of a ten inch diameter tree. Baker asked that Planning and Zoning address the issue of other natural features. Courtney expressed concern about waiving all parking require- ments. Scott suggested using an incentive similar to that in the Tree Ordinance for retaining trees on the lot. Ambrisco stated action will be deferred on this item until August 12 when the fraternity should hve a survey completed. Melling said if action is not taken to amend the ordinance and the City enforces the current ordi- nance, the fraternity will be required to construct all 24 parking spaces. SCOTT BOULEVARD ALIGNMENT ALTERNATIVE: Reel 86-C61, Side 1 Franklin stated Council received a July 18th memo regarding Scott Boule- vard alignment which was in response to a Council presentation by Tom Gelman. Franklin summarized that memo. Franklin commented that Gelman's proposed alignment would split the neighborhood commercial zoning. Franklin noted that the intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to keep the area as a neighborhood commercial site and a divided commercial site would change how the commercial zone would operate. Franklin said staff recom- mended retaining the alignment of Scott Boulevard as is currently designed. Strait asked what the cost difference would be for Gelman's proposed alignment and the alignment as it is currently designed. Farmer stated that there would be an estimated ten percent or less difference in cost to construct either alignment. Tom Gelman, representing Herb and Mary Lyman, presented information, photos and maps outlining alternative alignments for Scott Boulevard. Courtney asked if the hill on the proposed alignment could be lowered. Farmer said the hill could be cut four feet and fill used elsewhere. Courtney stated his preference for a flatter alignment. Ambrisco inquired about negotiations with the developer regarding exchanging of commercially zoned property. Franklin stated the developer has indicated that for any decrease in the amount of CN -1 zoning for right-of-way he would want 2-1 exchange - for every one square foot removed for right-of-way, he would T MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL MEETING JULY 28, 1986 PAGE 6 want two square feet in commercial zoning. In response to Gelman's com- ments, Franklin stated that people living in the area will see and hear Scott Boulevard regardless of the alignment, lowering the road may create noise -bouncing, and if the alignment is changed, persons to the west will be impacted upon. In response to Dickson, Farmer said intakes would be installed to handle stormwater runoff from Scott Boulevard. Council directed staff to proceed with the alignment as currently proposed by the City. Councilmembers asked Farmer to consider lowering the grade of the hill. GREAT PEACE Reel 86-C61, Side 2 Ambrisco stated the Great Peach March Group has requested that the City accept a signed letter stating that they are a non-profit organization as proof of their non-profit status. The non-profit status is required to obtain permission to make solicitations within the community. Council approved the request, and directed the Clerk accept the letter. Council noted this as a one-time exception to the procedure. APPOINTMENTS: Reel 86-C61, Side 2 CCN - Anne Rawland COUNCIL TIME/AGENDA: Reel 86-C61, Side 2 1.

X-3 Informal Council Meeting August 11, 1986 Page 3 AREA IV URBAN FRINGE AGREEMENT Reel 86-C62, Side Franklin referred the Council to her August 8 memo regarding Fringe Area Policy Agreement and the Rapid Creek Area Study prepared by JCCOG. Franklin reviewed the Fringe Agreement goals and explained that Area III was designated as a growth center for the two mile fringe area. Franklin said there has been a lot of pressure from persons wanting to build along Rapid Creek Road in Area IV. Franklin said the Fringe Committee reconvened May 28 to evaluate Area IV, they agreed that limited residential development in the Rapid Creek Area was appro- priate, but could not agree what density of development should be established. Franklin stated that Johnson County Board of Supervisors proposed a density of one dwelling unit per three acres, limiting development to those properties which have frontage or access onto Rapid Creek Road, and that there be perform- ance standards developed for the development. Franklin reviewed the four options for Area IV as outlined in her August 8 memo regarding FringeArea Policy Agreement. Franklin said the Council can reconvene the Fringe Committee if Council wishes to hold further discussions with the Johnson County Board of Supervisors or, if Council chooses Option C (as outlined in Franklin's August 8 memo) the City and County staff will develop a resolution to amend the fringe agreement. Franklin suggested reconvening the Fringe Committee. Strait asked if the new sewer plant could service Rapid Creek Road area if it were to be annexed. Franklin stated sewer questions should be discussed with Public Works. Ambrisco asked if the City of Iowa City would be required to provide services to the area. Franklin explained the County, fire responders, and school districts provide service to the area. Franklin said density, as it relates to providing services, should be carefully considered now because of the potential for annexation in the future. Franklin reiterated that, according to Dick Meyers, the Johnson County Board of Supervisors had selected Alternative 4 (outlined in the Rapid Creek Area Study) and would change density from one dwelling unit per 15 acres to one dwelling unit per three acres. Councilmembers discussed the alternatives as outlined in Franklin's memo and agreed on Option C. In response to Franklin, Council agreed a resolution amending the Fringe Agreement should be drafted and forwarded to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors and Iowa City Council. Franklin asked Council to take a strong position that this not serve as a precedence for establishing multiple growth areas in other areas of the Fringe. City Manager Atkins asked if the Fringe Committee is required to be reconvened to review the entire agreement. McDonald stated the Fringe Committee did briefly review all areas in their May meeting. Timmins stated a resolution will be drafted for the City and the County indicating that the three year review of the Fringe Agreement had been conducted. COUNCIL TIME/AGENDA Reel 86-C65, Side 1 I.

Continued. Reel 86-C65, Side 1 Franklin stated that Council addressed development of one dwelling unit per three acres only along the Rapid Creek Road in their earlier discussion and therefore, Highland Heights Subdivision would not be included under that revised policy. Moen noted that Highland Heights subdivision has been rezoned by the County for residential development. Franklin explained Highland Heights subdivision is located in Area IV which has agriculture designated as the preferred use and the rezoning is inconsistent with the Fringe Policy. Franklin said Council could ask the Legal Department if the City could deny a subdivision request in an area rezoned by the County. Timmins said he would need to research that issue and will provide Council with information. In response to McDonald, Franklin stated that Dick Meyers has stated the Johnson County Board of Supervisors are adopting Alternative 4 with a change in the density. McDonald said the Johnson County Board of Supervi- sors should be contacted for clarification. thr edevelopeinquired about restrictive i rs,statedthethreeproperty wnersTeach cown lone racrestracts and the other 42 acres will be owned as tenants in common.
