Leon Lyvers Leon Lyvers has filed an application with Johnson County requesting that a 1.69 acre tract in Area 6 of the Fringe Area Policy Agreement be rezoned from Al, Rural, to CH, Highway Commercial. The site is located inmedi- ately south of the Highway 6 right-of-way, approximately 1.5 miles south- east of Iowa City. This tract, a narrow strip of land, and an abutting tract5.7 acre were three years ago. The attach d tract map depicts the elationsvers hipoofmthese two parcels. The 5.7 acre tract is zoned CH. This zoning classification was in place at the time the Lyvers purchased this parcel. The Lyvers occupy the single family dwelling which has been constructed on this parcel. Outbuildings which house equipment for the family's tree surgery business are also located on this tract. The 1.69 acre parcel is undevelo is isolated from other Al zoned land by Snyder Creek. ped and The policy for Area 6 states that agricultural use is the preferred use for this area. Under certain conditions, residential uses for farm family purposes may be permitted in this area and, provided municipal services are available, existing residential zones may be developed. The policy makes no provisions, however, for other non -Farm or residential develop- ment. The size and shape of the 1.69 acre tract and its isolated location from Given adjacent agriculturally ay used land kfarming i this proximity to aU.S. Highway and to an djacentatract which lis zoned CH, rezoning this parcel from Al to CH is not expected to have an adverse impact on adjacent properties. Under the existing circumstances, the requested rezoning does not run counter to the policies established for Area 6 of the Fringe Area. Given the Highwayi6uandrato anstraints adjacentof this CH zonedsite tract,ndthe site's proimito staff recomnendsxthat the Commission recommend approval of this rezoning request to the City Coun- cil.

The property, which is located immediately south of the Highway 6 right-of-way, approximately 1.5 miles southeast of Iowa City, is in Area 6 of the Johnson County/Iowa City Fringe Area Policy Agreement. At its November 20, 1986, meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission found, by a vote of 6-0, that the subject application is not contrary to the intent of the policy statement for Area 6. Subsequently, the City Council acted in accordance with that recommendation at its December 16, 1986, meeting. Both Council and the Commission found that, given the agricultural constraints of this site and the site's proximity to Highway 6 and to an adjacent CH -zoned tract, this rezoning request does not con- travene the existing policy of encouraging agricultural uses in Area 6, Thank you for the opportunity to review this application. Sincerely, William J. Ambrisco Mayor MM/sp 1959 City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: November 25, 1986 To: Planning & Zoning Commission From: Karin Franklin, Senior Planne41( Re: Pocket Park - Harrison Street Right -of -Way Handicare Inc, has proposed the construction of a pocket park in the Harrison Street right-of-way adjacent to the building they currently lease from St. Patrick's Church. A site plan is attached showing the location of the pro- posed park in relation to St. Patrick's School and the parish hall; a sketch plan of the park is also included. The Harrison Street right-of-way is vacated between Dubuque Street and Linn Street. The grade is steep but buildable for this project according to Gary Kiebel, an architect with Hansen Lind Meyer and Board member for Handicare. The park proposal has been taken before the Parks and Recreation Commission and received their endorsement. The Director of Parks and Recreation has also indicated a willingness and ability to take on maintenance responsibill_ ties for the park. The proposal is being brought before the Planning and Zoning Commission pursuant to Chapter 27-17(4) which states that the Commis- sion shall "make recommendations for street, park (emphasis *added), park- way...or other public improvements, or the vacation thereof." The proposed park will be funded by a grant to Handicare of CDBG monies. The park will be open to the public and used by Handicare for the handicapped children attending the care center. A pocket park in the inner city is consistent with the proposed Neighborhood Open Space Plan. bj2/7 10d 1. f sisfnr :I t . s I •�—•.—' �•i:l SID 'lel � •�� .°I 11.1'1 yrj� 1 thrr t 1 • .��1 ' It.Is+1y om....
