Erdahl presented the position of the Committee and issues which had arisen within the Committee and the Council. i Area 2. Erdahl said there were no real issues in Area 2. Areas 3, 4. Erdahl said that the Urban Fringe Committee agrees that the City should defer to the north corridor plan regarding development in these areas. Areas 5, 6. Erdahl said that full City services should be provided out to one mile east of the corporate limits in Area 5 and one mile south in Area 6. Areas 7 , 8.. Annexation wasn't recommended by the Committee for the area west of the new interstate. There is uncertainty on the part of the Committee regarding the RS zoning in Area 7. The County will control development across the interstate in Area 8 as well as Area 7. Area 1. The County agrees to discourage urban development in this area. Area 9. Parts of this area south of P.ohret Road are under discussion for deannexati on. The Council discussed specific concerns with the Board of Supervisors. Neu hauser said that the City could agree to not provide lift stations for areas zoned agricultural; this would prevent unannexed properties from being hooked into the sewer system in Areas 5 and 6. Area 7 will remain RS within an area defined by the watershed line, with rural design standards outside the Clear Creek watershed. Area 8 will be effected by the airport overlay zone. In the City's long-range plan, everything east of Highway 218 will eventually be annexed by the City. The area west of the new interstate will be controlled by the County. Supervisor Myers noted that although the Fringe Committee hasn't reached a unanimous decision on each area, the majority has agreed on each decision. The County will contact the City again next week. i s 5...�....,._.MICRDFILMEDBY....-__I JORM 1MI4—_R4LAB j CEDAR Rh! 05 • DE_ MDI NES 1 ■ Informal Council Discussion December 5, 1983 Page 2 PLANNING AND ZONING MATTERS: West Side Park. Franklin noted that an adjacent property owner has concerns about access to Mormon Trek Boulevard. An easement through West Side Park is a possibility but a street would be preferable. Any access from Mormon Trek would present topological problems. The Council will defer any decision until the Traffic Engineer can give a report. The property owner wants an alternate access to Mormon Trek. KRNA Parcel. Franklin explained that this parcel is part of a larger tract. The property owner is asking for a deferral of stormwater management. No additional building permits will be issued without a stormwater managemert compliance. Prairie View Estates. No discussion. Proposed Zoning Ordinance. 1. The Hennessey property on Bloomington is being changed to show RM44 reflecting their long-term use. 2. Mullen and Smith correspondences have resulted in clarifications. 3. Schmeiser said that the property currently being considered by the emergency housing project does not meet minimum lot size, lot coverage, parking, or setback requirements. The revised ordinance shows tran- sient housing as a permitted use in all multi -family and commercial zones. Bill Sueppel said that a 750 square foot minimum floor space per permanent resident is reasonable for transient housing plus 200 square feet per transient guest. Schmeiser suggested that transient housing should be a special exception while Berlin preferred provi- sional use. Council agreed to make transient housing a provisional use with 150 square feet required per permanent resident and 200 square feet per guest. Staff will develop a draft for tomorrow's meeting. UDAG. Neuhauser noted that approval of the UDAG contract does not approve the hotel design. The UDAG agreement must be signed immediately. If not signed by December 31, the grant will be lost and the IRB's could be threatened, Hotel design is still subject to agreement with the City. Dr. Johnson's attorney, Richard Peterson, said that marketing of the bonds make timing critical and that the hotel design is not contingent upon the signed UDAG contract. Expansion of Area for IRB's. Schmeiser said that the expansion of the allow- able area for industrial revenue bonds might give some incentive for property owners to develop property that would threaten the vitality of the downtown area because of competition. Neuhauser said that the City should retain sufficient control to prevent any threat to the downtown area. Schmeiser suggested that if the area was expanded only to include residential zones, no f danger would be posed to the downtown. A representative of Jim Clark suggested permitting a one -lot depth on either side of Gilbert Street be made available for IRB funding. He said that the Gilbert Street corridor is a logical extension of the downtown area. He said that Clark has potential development underway but is dependent on rapid approval by the City. Berlin said that the area in question should be Linn Street, the railroad, and both sides of Gilbert. i _.-...MICRDfIL17ED, BY. _..._..I. l JORM MICR¢LAB - CEDAR R41DS - DES FIOInES ..a Informal Council Discussion December 5, 1983 Pag e 3 CDBGProgram Reduction. The Council agreed that the necessary $7,000 should come from Congregate Housing ($5,000) and Alternative Housing Site Acquisition ($2,000) . Neuhauser said that Berlin will review program administration. Industrial Waste. Affected industries have seen this proposal. The exacting languag' a comes from the state. The costs of the program are charged back to the industry. The major industries in Iowa City have no problem with the proposal . Wastewater Facility. chis matter will be taken out of the Coaventhe Chamber Les Batterman, president of the Iowa City Chamber of Commerce, g support for construction of the facility. Balmer said it would cost an estimated $22 million to detach the City's stormwater runoff from the sanitary sewer system. Normal design fees for this type of project are approximately six percent of the total cost of the project. Eighty percent of that has come from state and federal funds. Other cost figures were reviewed. Correcting leaking manhole covers and removing catch basins would be part of a cost effective rehabilitation project that would cost about $600,000 and wouldn't include correcting footing drains. It could be done in Phase I. The actual cost of the interceptor sewer would cost from $8.9 million to $10.5 million depending upon the design details. The alternative of installing a sewer pipe from Pine Street along the Rock Island right of way wouldn't be cost effective at $4,3 million. Computer Equi ent Cit Clerk's Office.
