(3) To approve S-7744, the preliminary plat of Oakes Meadow Addition,
located north of Muscatine Avenue, west of Southlawn Drive; south
of Brookside Drive and east of Memory Gardens.
The Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular meeting held on
October 20, 1977, recommended by a 5-0 vote approval of the
subject Subdivision. This recommendation is not entirely
consistent with the Staff's recommendation presented in a Staff
Report dated October 6;-1977, which is attached to this agenda.
The Staff had recommended that continuity be provided from
:Muscatine Avenue to Meadow Street at Friendship Street (see
memorandum from the Traffic Enginerr attached to this agenda)
in lieu of the two near right angle turns proposed within the
subdivision. Specifically, as Meadow Street and Brookside Drive
are the only streets which cross Ralston Creek between First
Avenue and; proposed Scott Boulevard on the east, the Staff is
od
Iof the opinion 'that amore direct access to the neighborho
should be provided. ,This item, will be presented to the City
Council for consideration at the next regular meeting pending
discussion of the constraint indicated above.
The Planning and Zoning Commission` further recommends to the
future Council and P&Z members that no subdivision, plat be
accepted for development' between the southern-most extension
of Carver.Street and Muscatine Avenue unless that plat includes
the connection of Carver Street with Muscatine Avenue.
(4) To approve S-7745, a preliminary plat of Bryn Mawr Heights, Part
11 located south of Denbigh Drive and west of Sunset Street,
with ,the following stipulations:
,
(l) that curve data belprovided,,'I
(2 that the lots'be fully dimensioned,
at a 6 integral curve be indicated in_the cross-section
t
(3 h 9
drawing,
4 that all easements be labeled,
((5) that the legal description be corrected, and
t6) that a north-south walkway be provided from Ealing to
Wrexham Drivelocated approximately midway east to west
in the proposed development.
The Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular meeting held
on October 20,;1977, recommended by a 3-2 vote approval of
'the above subdivision subject to the contingencies' noted. This
reconme
ndation"'is.not. consistent with the Staff's recommendation
'
presented in a Staff Report dated October 20, 1977, which is
attached to this agenda. Specifically, the subdivision
includes two straight continuous streets over a thousand feet in
length which is highly',undesirablein residential developments
in regard to safety consideration and a sense of neighborhood
unity. The two negative votes by the Planning and Zoning
Commission were for this reason. This item will be deferred
for consideration pending discussion of the constraint indicated
above and corrections of the deficiencies and discrepancies noted ';j

I tem No. 12
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING FAIR RE -USE VALUE FOR CERTAIN URBAN RENEWAL PROPERTY
Comment:
in August, 1976, the City solicited appraisal services in order to
establish new re -use values for Urban Renewal property. In September,
1976, the Urban Renewal Plan was amended by Resolution76-352, which
included a text provision calling for the closure and conveyance of Capitol
Street between Burlington and Court Streets. In December, 1976, the
Council authorized the transfer of $800,000 of CDBG funds in exchange
for Urban Renewal property. In March, 1977, new re -use values were
established for 16 Urban Renewal parcels, by Resolution 77-67. In April,!
1977, the Urban Renewal Plan was again amended, by Resoltuion 77-152,
including'a change in the Disposition Plan which incorporated the Capitol
Street right-of-way between Burlington and Court into Parcel 101-2.
In August,,1977, the Council authorized the transfer of an additional
$964,650 of CDBG funds.for Urban Renewal land. This sum included the
$85,500 value of the Capitol Street R -O -W. However, this value was not
specifically included in the re -use value of Parcel 101-2. During the
-14 closeout audit, the auditors took exception to th
project R e procedure,I
because the re -use value of Parcel 101-2 had not been changed. This
resolution clears this audit exception by adding the square footage of the
street R -O -W to Parcel 101-2 and adding the value of the street R -O -W to
the Fair Re -use Value of Parcel 101-2. This,resolution does not alter the
value of land in inventory, but merely includes the R70-Winto, the
,
t
parcel, rather than carrying it separa ely.
