Oakes Meadow Final Plat Previous concerns regarding secondary access were explained. a glulpreme Court said Iowa City could require a secondary access.

Ordinance Rezoning Highlander Property The change in request to rezone a portion of the property to C. 0. Zone was explained. It is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan designation. The sewer issue will be discuss- ed by P&Z with review of the preliminary plat. The agreement regarding the sewer is close to being settled. The applicant/ has requested that all three considerations of the Ordinance be given so they can submit the preliminary plat. The agreement will designate payment of costs and solve sewage lagoon problem on the Grolmus property. County KitchRezone Knight pointed out the explanation regarding imple- mentation o tIen e new zoning ordinance (not in stages), as included in Schmeiser's memo. MOBLIE HOME ORDINANCES 2505 -End Two ordinances are proposed. One will amend Chapter 8.10, by adding a new zone to the zoning ordinance, the Manufactured Housing Zone. The other one deals with regulations. Knight reviewed the proposed ordinance developed by the Committee with mobile home court owners input, noting that the main questions had dealt with the screening pro- visions and the recreation -open space requirements. In Chapter 22-34(e), Streets, Page 9, he called attention to the question on whether or not to use the word 'should' or the word 'shall'. Staff felt it should be 'shall'. The screening requirement was deleted by the Committee, and in its place a requirement for one tree to be planted for each space was added. The Committee and mobile home court owners have been notified of Council's public hearing. Council discussed the Committee's rationale for deleting screening requirements, expense and discrimination (saying that the mobile home court was the nuisance). Staff has always followed the process that Side 2, the greater nuisance provides the screening. Knight explained how the 1-200 amendments impact existing mobile home parks for expansion or change. MICROFIL14ED BY JORM MIC R46LA 9] CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 1 J r Informal Council Page 2 March 29, 1982 Some owners have objected to cost of the survey to be provided to the City. Staff will prepare options regarding screening for Council to review. City Mgr. Berlin advised that Staff will be looking at amend- ing existing licensing procedures to allow the Housing Department to give the license, not the City Clerk. SOUTHWEST AREA STUDY 230-700 This is the first of seven area studies, with suggestions for both short- range and long range plans. Issues discussed included: the impact of Freeway 518, the Highway 1 interchange, and the limited sewer capacity, annexation, deannexation and schools. Schmeiser stated that in the short run, Staff is not recommending expansion of the 10" Willow Creek Trunk Sewer line by expending any City funds. Ralph Stouffer pointed out that it would cost approximately $18,000 to upgrade the 10" line.. This would open up the whole west side area. If a developer wishes to pay for over- size sewer line, staff and Council could consider a development. The staff will bring in major policy issues for Council discussion for this area and Northeast Iowa City. One area to deannex was pointed out on the map, south of Rahret Road. Schmeiser has discussed a policy of trying to discourage a lot of children - bearing residential development where capacity in existing elementary schools does not exist and encourage it where it does exist, with the Schoolboard and Dr. Cronin. The present City -County Fringe Committee is composed of Erdahl, McDonald, Donnelley and Cilek. Basically, the legal staffs feel that development could be controlled,as agreed by. the City and County, and made legally binding thru a 28A agreement. There has been no action by either agency on the airport overlay zone Balmer stated that he liked the proposal to encourage residential develop- ment in the Melrose Avenue Interchange area. Neuhauser noted that Project, Green might be interested in planning for that area. This issue and the request for extension of water to the County Home can be discussed with the County. Neuhauser suggested that the Highway 1 interchange area was logical area for extension of an industrial area. Myhre stated that there would be no sewer capacity for industrial.use in the short-range plan. Schmeiser commented that it was logical to take the Highway Commercial area on the Comprehensive Plan and move it and show it as an extension of the com- mercial area near Old Capitol Motors area. The annexation of Lloyd property is not resolved as the City can't guarantee any zone until the property is annexed. There is sewer there already. Schmeiser noted that this was a preliminary report which will be complied into a larger report. The South Side Study is about finished. The reports will be compiled into a larger document with a set of assumptions and policy considerations made by Council. There will be another review by Staff, P&Z and Council. Later Council will be asked to approve this land use document. Staff asked that Council let them know if they have any major problems in the direction they are heading. AGENDA T -City Mgr. Berlin pointed out that a resolution had been provided which changed the publication requirements for the transit application. 2. City Clerk Stolfus asked for correction of consent calendar item for Vanessa's liquor permit,,_ noting that it is Sunday Sales only; and that the application for Hawkeye Cab Co. is to be in the name of Dale Mottet only. 141CROFILMED BY JORM MICSRALA13 J CEDAR RAPIDS • DES M014ES F 1 J_. t- 4 ��._... . ....... ....._._.�_I \ ;.. _.—IA]CROFILIdED BY �. ....�..._��. 1.

He stated that a meeting of staffinembers will be held to review the administrative process so there is more dissemination of information. Staff will discuss what the words, 'substantial change' includes, also whether or not there should be an expiration date for a LSRD. They will look at coordination by the building dept., legal, and planning departments in interpretation of the zoning ordinance. Berlin and City Atty. Jansen agreed that it was the duty of the property owner to bring changes or modifications to the attention of the City. Attorney Holland reviewed the actions taken by the developer. There have been no requests for any additional expenses incurred by the sewer contractor. City Atty. Jansen will decide if Clark needs to go back thru P&Z for the changes or is to request a variance.

When they are thru with one section, they will refer it to P&Z who will then refer it to Council. There will be approximately one month between each review by each group. Staff will be working on the Comprehensive Plan which should be done by Sept. 1st, and working on the map after that. Neuhauser suggested setting public hearing on a rezoning and development moratorium before the map is forwarded to P&Z, probably after Sept. 1st. Staff was directed to prepare a list of key dates, integrated with the issue of the moratorium, and noting at which points critical decisions will have to be made. Balmer asked if parking requirements for wholesale/warehouse could be considered separately. Schmeiser explained the H.P. Smith request as an example. Council agreed to have P&Z refer the zoning ordinance to them section by section as P&Z finishes it's review, and to consideration of parking. BENTON/RIVERSIDE INTERSECTION PROJECT 1798 - Berlin pointed out that severa questions previously asked by Council were answered in Schmadeke's memo.

Regarding the pedestrian activated crossing at the intersection, there was no objection to use of the 'scramble' sequence which will add 25 seconds to the 131 second cycle when activated. DOT would have to be contacted regarding a 'no right on red' sign on the highway. A representative from Professional Muffler explained his need for a curb cut. He needs a way for persons southbound to get to him. Staff suggested a median cut on Riverside.- This would aid the restaurant also. Henry Linder/Tire Service explained how the median affected use of his business by trucks. A break in the median would help. Staff always supported this, as better than going in on Benton. Council will pursue this idea. Atty. Jay Honohan stated that he had obtained studies of accident experience which will be sent out in Council's next packet.

Representatives from the City or the University were invited to join the research group of the Chamber. Kelly suggested that the Council make a public statement.

Erdahl requested that members of the committee, park owners and attorneys be given notice of Council consideration. Boothroy pointed out previous notice given to those concerned with this issue. Zoning Code Interpretational Panel McDonald asked for more information on the recommendation from P&Z on the proposed ZCIPanel for interpretation of the zoning code. Berlin outlined concerns, and stated that they need to come up with a process or mechanism to provide official interpretations of zoning ordinance, so there is closer coordination and cooperation between those of the staff who have some role in the process. Councilman Perret arrived, 4:45 P.M. WEED ORDINANCE 140-200 Showalter explained the reason for recommending the change at this time was to force people to take care of violations. These can occur on un- developed lots in subdivided land. A developer can declare a permanent natural area on a plat. Jansen pointed out language that substitutes assessment of costs instead of present regulations. They also want to take the fees out of the ordinance and prepare a resolution.
