Comprehensive Plan: This property is in the South Planning

identifies this area as appropriate for small
lot, single-family or duplex development.
File Date: October 17, 2002
45 Day Limitation Period: December 1, 2002
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, CB Development Limited, is applying for a final plat of Whispering Meadows Part 3,
which is a resubdivision of Lots 96-136 of Whispering Meadows Part 2. The final plat of
Whispering Meadows Part 2 which includes 103 lots over 26.14 acres, was approved in 1993. The
applicant would tike to break out lots 96-136 as a separate subdivision in order construct
2
infrastructure and sell lots without being required to install or pay escrow fees for the infrastructure
in the remainder of Whispering Meadows Part 2.
ANALYSIS:
Escrow funds: The legal papers for Whispering Meadows Part 2 state that if the subdivider
desires a building permit for any lot in the subdivision before all the improvements (infrastructure) is
constructed, the subdivider shall pay in escrow "an amount equal to 110% of the cost of said
improvements as determined by the City Engineer." This is intended to prevent a situation from
arising where a developer constructs only I/~ a street, or does not extend a sewer line all the way to
the property line, or goes bankrupt before all the infrastructure is in place, etc. If the subdivider
becomes insolvent, the City may use the escrow funds to complete the infrastructure necessary for
the neighborhood.
In this case, Whispering Meadows Part 2 is a large subdivision (103 lots), and is not selling as
quickly as was contemplated by the subdivider in 1993. Smaller final plats in the range of 10-30
lots are much more common in this market, because the subdivider is able to finance that amount
of infrastructure. The subdivider wishes to split off Lots 96-136 from the remainder of Whispering
Meadows Part 2 (Lots 137-156) in order to avoid paying the escrow fees for the infrastructure in
Part 2.
Subdivision Design: The design of this subdivision is consistent with the design for lots 96-136 as
approved in 1993. The subdivision consists of 41 lots situated around an extension of Whispering
Meadows Drive and Primrose Court, a new cul-de-sac. The lots range in size from 5,625 square
feet to 18,099 square feet in size. Whispering Meadows Drive, and water and sewer lines, extend
to the south property line, which allows the property to the south to tie into them.
The consequence of not developing the remainder of Whispering Meadows Part 2 is that no street
will extend to the west boundary of the subdivision. Because the subdivider, CB Development,
owns the property to the west beyond the boundaries of this subdivision, not extending a street to
the west does not have consequences for any property except the subdivider. The City's South
Sycamore Greenspace stormwater system lies beyond the west CB Development property line.
The City has no interest in having a street extend to the South Sycamore Greenspace in this
vicinity.
Neighborhood Open Space: The 1993 subdivision for Whispering Meadows Part 2 pre-dated the
Neighborhood Open Space ordinance. However, the subdivider dedicated an 11.75-acre public
open space, Whispering Meadows Park, as part of the Whispering Meadows subdivisions. This
more than satisfies today's open space requirement.
Tap-on fees: A water main tap-on fee of $395 per acre will be required. This tap-on fee was not in
place when this area was first subdivided but upon resubdivision the property owner is required to
comply with current tap-on fees.
Stormwater management: This property was designed to drain to the Whispering Meadows
wetland / basin, which is existing.
Legal Papers and Construction Plans: Legal Papers and Construction Plans are under review.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB02-00019 a final plat of Whispering Meadows Part 3, a 41-lot, 9.75 acre
subdivision located at the south terminus of Whispering Meadows Drive, be approved, subject to
3
approval of legal papers and construction plans prior to Council consideration.

STAFF REPORT
To: Planning and Zoning Commission Prepared by: John Yapp
Item: SUB02-00020. Kennedy Subdivision Date: November 7, 2002
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Applicant and Property Owner: Mark Kennedy
931 Maiden Lane
Iowa City, IA 52245
Phone: 351-5454

Requested Action: Preliminary plat approval.
Purpose: To create a four-lot residential subdivision.
Location: Southwest corner of Dane Road, SW and
Osage Street, SW.
Size: 40.2 acres
Existing Land Use and Zoning: Residential and Agricultural; RS-5 and A-1
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Residential; County RS
South: Agricultural; CountyA-1
East: Agricultural; County A-1
West: Agricultural; County A-1
Comprehensive Plan: Fringe Area C
File Date: October 17, 2002
45-day Limitation Period: December 1, 2002
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Mark Kennedy, is requesting a preliminary plat of Kennedy Subdivision, a 40.2 acre
four lot residential subdivision located at the southwest corner of Dane Road, SW and Osage
Street, SW. The property contains one single-family residence and pasture. This plat would create
three additional building lots located on higher ground near Dane Road, all to be accessed off of a
proposed private street, Justin Court. This property is located outside of the City's growth
boundary, but within Fringe Area C of the City's two-mile extraterritorial review area. This property
2
was rezoned to RS-5 in 1997 and at that time a concept plan was submitted illustrating a
development similar to that proposed with this plat.
A preliminary plat for this property was approved in 1999, that has since expired due to the two-
year time limit on preliminary plats. The applicant would like to have the preliminary plat re-
approved.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed preliminary plat appears to be in general conformance with the subdivision
regulations for Fringe Area C.
Fringe Area Agreement: The development policies of the fringe area agreement for Area C
indicate that for property outside of the growth area, rezonings to RS-5 (one dwelling unit per 5-
acres of lot area) will be considered on a case by case basis provided that at least 80% of the lot
area is set aside for open space or agricultural purposes. When this prepedy was rezoned a
concept plan was submitted that indicated this requirement would be met. The proposed
preliminary plat is in conformance with the concept plan and does meet the 80% open space
requirement.
Subdivision Regulations: The proposed plat appears to be in general conformance with the
subdivision regulations for the fringe area. City rural design standards are required, and it appears
are being followed with this plat. Justin Court is proposed to have a chip seal surface, as is
required in the rural design standards.
The plat includes the creation of three additional building lots at the east end of the properly. Two
of the lots are proposed to have frontage along Dane Road but will be required to have access
points on Justin Court. Three outlots are being proposed. Outlot C represents the portion of the
property that was not rezoned to RS-5 in 1997, and remains zoned A-1 and will be used for
agricultural purposes. Outlot A makes up the bulk of the required 80% open space and is labeled
that it will be used for agricultural purposes. Outlot B is a smaller open space near the intersection
of Dane Road and Justin Court, and is intended to be a smaller common area within the
residential development as well as the site for the proposed well and well easement area.
Storm Water Management: Because this property lies within the Old Man's Creek watershed,
storm water management is not required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB02-00020, a preliminary plat of Kennedy Subdivision, a 40.2 acre, 4
lot residential subdivision located at the southwest corner of Dane Road, SW and Osage Street,
SW, be approved.

The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission proposes to nominate
four historic districts in the North Side neighborhood of Iowa City
for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and to
determine the boundaries of a local conservation district to be
established in the remainder of the North Side neighborhood.
Buildings in this predominantly residential neighborhood span nearly
the entire history of Iowa City, from the 1840s to the present,
although most were built between about 1880 and 1930. Despite the
large number of high quality buildings in this area, only one
historic district--the Brown Street Historic District--has been
designated in the North Side. This project will provide recognition
to one of Iowa City's most historic neighborhoods, and will provide
the Commission with the information necessary to protect the majority
of the North Side neighborhood through local historic and
conservation district designation. Following completion of this
project, the Commission plans to designate these districts as local
historic and conservation districts.

Evaluation
Normally evaluation is done as part of a survey project. However, some communities in
Iowa conducted surveys pr~or to becoming CLGs. In cases where these surveys did not
evaluate the National Register merits of historic properties or where the evaluations
appear to be incorrect or need revision, an evaluation project is appropriate. Communities
are encouraged to combine survey and evaluation in a single grant application.

B. Scope of Work (Question 1)
What is your goal?
The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission is proposing to nominate four historic districts in the
North Side neighborhood of Iowa City for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and to
determine the boundaries of a local conservation district to be established in the remainder of the
North Side neighborhood. Buildings in this predominantly residential neighborhood span nearly the
entire history of Iowa City, from the 1840s to the present, with the great majority built between about
1880 and 1930. Despite the large number of high quality buildings in this area, only one historic
district--the Brown Street Historic District, listed in the National Register and designated locally in
1994--has been designated in the North Side. Several individual properties in the North Side have
also been listed in the National Register and designated locally.
This project will provide recognition to one of Iowa City's most historic neighborhoods, and will
provide the ConUmssion with the information necessary to protect the North Side neighborhood
through local historic and conservation district designation. Grant funds will be used to hire a
preservation consultant to prepare the National Register nomination forms and to identify the
boundaries of the conservation district. Following completion of this project, the Commission plans to
designate these districts as local historic and conservation districts.
The four proposed historic districts are the East Ronalds Street Historic District, North Lima Street
Historic District, North Gilbert Street Historic District, and East Jefferson Street Historic District.
These four districts were identified as eligible for National Register listing by consultant Marlys
Svendsen of Svendsen Tyler, Inc., in 2000, based on previous surveys and evaluations of buildings in
the North Side. The four districts contain approximately 135 principal buildings (excluding garages),
five of which have been listed in the National Register. The nominations of these four historic
districts will accompany the Multiple Property Document, "Historic Resources of Iowa City, Iowa,"
completed in 1992. With the exception of the East Jefferson Street Historic District, which contains
several churches, the four districts have a similar character and similar histories. However, separate
districts are being proposed because the architectural integrity of the larger neighborhood has been
compromised to the extent that only smaller subareas retain historic district potential.
The larger North Side neighborhood, including the proposed historic districts, was identified as
eligible for conservation district status in Iowa City's 1992 historic preservation plan. The boundaries
of the area to be investigated in the present project for possible conservation district designation were
determined based on information in previous surveys, consultant recommendations, and changes in
neighborhood character (building type and scale) at the edges of the district. The size of the
conservation district will not be known until the consultant's recommendation has been made, but it is
anticipated that the district will contain approximately 120-150 properties.
Because of its proximity to the University of Iowa campus, downtown Iowa City, and Mercy Hospital,
the North Side neighborhood faces strong development pressures that continually threaten its historic
buildings. Many older and historic buildings in the North Side have been demolished in recent years,
while others have been altered significantly upon being converted to apartments or rooming houses.
Without protection, buildings in this area remain exposed to a variety of development pressures.
While the current project will not itself provide the buildings with this protection, it is a critical first
step. National Register listing will provide the incentives of tax abatements and grant funds for
certified rehabilitations. In addition, the Commission plans to use the National Register nominations
and conservation district boundary recommendation as the basis for the designation of local historic
and conservation districts. Local designation will give the Commission design review authority over
exterior alterations, demolitions, and new construction on properties within the districts.
2
B. Scope of Work (Questions 2 and 3)
What are the detailed step-by-step plans you have designed to accomplish your project? How willyou
accomplish what you have set out to do?
This project involves the preparation of National Register nominations for four historic districts and
the identification of boundaries for one local conservation district. Because the conservation district
and historic dis~cts are located within the same neighborhood, their historic contexts overlap to a
considerable extent. In terms of both historical research and on-site investigation, it is more cost
effective to hire one consultant to prepare the nominations and the boundary determination as part of a
single project. To break the project into separate phases would result in duplication of efforts,
possibly by different consultants, as well as additional travel costs and other duplicated expenses.
The first step, after the selection of the consultant, will include a review of previous surveys and
evaluations in the North Side neighborhood and a block-by-block pedestrian survey of the proposed
historic and conservation districts to update the previous surveys where required. This step will be
followed by neighborhood meetings, photography, and additional research, as necessary. Members of
the Commission and the consultant will schedule meetings with neighbors in thc four proposed
historic districts. These meetings will introduce the project and explain how the nomination process
works. The meetings will also be used to teach owners and residents how to research the history of
their properties. The information thus gathered from the owners will be added to the information
already available in the previously completed historic surveys of these districts. Comments on the
draft nominations from neighborhood residents will be encouraged and incorporated into the final
draft of the report. While some additional research beyond what is found in previous surveys and
evaluations and elicited from neighborhood residents may be necessary, it is anticipated that the
detailed information gathered in previous surveys will be largely sufficient to complete the nomination
Based on recommendations by previous consultants, the project is expected to involve the nomination
of four National Register historic districts and the recommendation of boundaries for one Iowa City
conservation district. However, should the consultant make a strong case for the designation of more
or fewer districts, or for altering the boundaries of the proposed districts, based on changes in the area
since the surveys were conducted or on other factors, the Commission will consider modifying the
project to accommodate those changes. Any such modifications are likely to be minor, and are not
expected to affect the overall project timetable or budget.
The consultant will prepare four National Register nomination forms for review by the Commission,
the State Historical Society of Iowa, and the public. He or she will also prepare a map, property list,
and boundary justification for the proposed conservation district for review by the Commission and
the public. The final nominations and boundary recommendation will incorporate comments from
these reviewers. The nominations will be submitted to the State Nomination Review Comrrfittee,
while the conservation district information will be submitted to the Iowa City Historic Preservation
Commission.

B. Scope of Work (Question 4)
Discuss how the work meets applicable Secretary of the Interior's Standards.
This project includes the nomination of four National Register historic districts and the identification
of one local conservation district. National Register nomination forms shall be completed for the four
districts following the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Registration:
1. Registration is conducted according to stated procedures. The Commission anticipates hiring
a consultant who has experience with the nomination process.
2. Registration information locates, describes and justifies the significance and physical integrity
ofa historic property. All appropriate information necessary to evaluate the significance of
the nominated properties will be included in the nomination forms.
3. Registration information is accessible to the public. The Commission plans to work closely
with the neighborhood on this project, as well as on subsequent efforts to designate the
districts as local historic districts. A meeting at the outset of the project will provide an
opportunity for residents of the area to become informed of the project and find out what
listing on the National Register means for them. Residents will also be invited to review the
completed nomination before it is forwarded to the State Nomination Review Committee.
Copies of the nomination will be made available to the public at the Iowa City Public Library.
The draft nominations will also be posted on the City of Iowa City's web site for review by
any interested party.
The boundaries of the local conservation district shall be determined based on the Secretary of the
Interior's Standards for Evaluation:
1. Evaluation of the significance of historic properties uses established criteria. Criteria for
evaluating properties as contributing or non-contributing elements of conservation districts
have been developed for the three existing conservation districts in Iowa City. These criteria
will be used to evaluate historic properties in the proposed North Side conservation district.
2. Evaluation of significance applies the criteria within historic contexts. The historic context
for the North Side neighborhood, developed in detail in four surveys conducted between 1996
and 2000, will be used to evaluate the significance of the North Side properties.
3. Evaluation results in a list or inventory of significant properties that is consulted in assigning
registration and treatment priorities. The consultant will provide a list of properties for
inclusion in a proposed North Side conservation district. The district's boundaries will be
determined based on the distribution of contributing and non-contributing buildings in the
North Side neighborhood outside the proposed National Register historic districts. Following
completion of this project, the Commission will pursue local historic landmark designation for
any properties within the conservation district that meet the criteria for landmark designation,
in order to afford those properties the greatest protection.
4. Evaluation results are available to the public. The Cornn~ssion intends to follow procedures
for public information and involvement similar to those described above under Standards for
Registration #3. However, while information about the proposed conservation district will be
publicized during the present project, it is anticipated that most of the public involvement will
occur after the completion of this project, during the nomination and designation phase.

C. Work Products
One end product of this project will bc four historic dis~ct nomination forms that provide justification
for listing thc districts in thc National P~cgistcr of Historic Placcs, to be presented to thc State
Nomination Review Committee and thc National Park Service. These nomination forms will be
available to thc neighborhood and others in the community who desire to learn more about the historic
and architectural significance oftbe North Side neighborhood. Thc other end product will be a
recommendation to thc Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission on thc boundaries of a prol~sed
North Side conscrvatiun dis~ct. This recommendation will also include a list of con~buting and
non-contributing properf~cs in thc proposed conservation district, and a justification for the boundary
selected. Specific work products arc noted by thc checked boxes in the main grant application form.
Because thc project has two s~aratc components, work product boxes are checked in two categories
in thc grant application form: "Evaluation: For Architectural and Historical Survey and Evaluation
Projects" for the conservation district boundaries, and "l~.egistration" for thc National Register
nominations. Not every box in the "Evaluation" section is cbeckcd becansc the surveys for this area
have already been completed, ltowcver, with thc exception oftbe Dubuquc/Linn Street Corridor
survey, the previous North Side surveys did not include an evaluation of each properV/in thc survey
area to dctcrmine wbethcr or not it would contribute to a l)ossiblc historic dis~ct or conservation
dis~ct. Thc evaluations required to identify wbethcr or not a property would contribute to a North
Side conservation district, and to determine thc boundaries of that district, arc work products included
in thc current project.
Both the National Register nomination forms and the conservation district boundary recommendation
will include boundary justifications and lists of contributing and non-contributing properties that will
pcrrrftt thc Cormmssion to pursue local historic and conservation disthct status for these areas. Local
designation, which will be pursued after completion of thc present project, will bring these areas under
thc protection of Iowa City's Historic Preservation Ordinance. This will hell) to preserve the integrity
of these districts and promote public awareness of the community's older neighborhoods.

E. Coordination
Thc consultant to be l~rcd to prepare the National Register nominations and to determine the
boundaries of the conservation district must meet the professional qualifications for History or
Architectural History, having either a Master's degree in American History, American Architectural
History or a closely related field, OR having a Bachelor's degree plus one of the following: (a) two
years full-time experience in research, writing or teaching, or (b) a substantial contribution to the field
of American architectural history. Before hiring a consultant, the Commission will issue a Request for
Proposals to each of the consultants named on the State's approved list of preservation consultants
specializing in architectural history.
The consultant will be expected to conduct the research necessary to prepare draft nominations for the
four districts, and to propose district boundaries for a future conservation district. The conservation
district boundary recommendation will be accompanied by a list of contributing and non-contributing
properties in the proposed district, as well as a boundary justification. To accomplish these tasks, the
consultant will take into account work already completed as a result of recent surveys of this
neighborhood. The consultant will also revise the draft as deemed necessary by the Iowa City Historic
Preservation Commission, the State Historical Society staff, and the State Nomination Review
ConUmttee. The consultant will complete photography necessary to accompany the National Register
nominations, participate in neighborhood meetings regarding this project, and represent the
Comndssion when the nomination goes before the State Nomination Review Committee.
It is anticipated that little or no new research will be necessary for the completion of this project, since
the nominations will be based on previously completed surveys and evaluations of buildings in the
North Side neighborhood. The consultant will verify whether or not previously gathered information
remains valid, revise and supplement it as necessary, and prepare the National Register nomination
forms and conservation disthct boundary recommendation based on that information.
Members of the Historic Preservation Commission will be involved in reviewing responses to the RFP
for this project, selecting a consultant to complete the work, and reviewing drafts of the nominations
and the conservation district boundary determination. The Commission will also host neighborhood
meetings as necessary to keep residents informed about the project.. Following completion of this
project, it is anticipated that the Comafftssion will take steps to pursue local designation of the four
historic districts and the recommended conservation district.
The Commission's City staff person, an Associate Planner with the City's Department of Planning and
Community Development, will serve as project manager. It is anticipated that approximately 30 hours
of project management time will be required to oversee this project, which will include tasks related to
preparing the RFP, the consultant subcontract, and other related documents, organizing neighborhood
meetings, responding to questions from the public, copying and distributing drafts of the nomination
forms, general project administration, and working with the consultant to provide assistance as
necessary. The use and involvement of volunteers from the neighborhood will be at the discretion of
the consultant selected to complete the nomination. Fifty hours of City intern time will also he
available to the consultant for completing various tasks, such as propm'ty ownership information and
photography, as well as for routine tasks associated with the project manager's responsibilities.
G. Explain how the proposed project will help to fulfill the goals and objectives of your local
preservation plan and/or the state preservation plan, if applicable.
The Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan, adopted in 1992, identifies several goals to be pursued
concurrently. These goals include the identification of historic resources significant to Iowa City's
past (Goal 1), and the adoption of strategies in thc conservation of historic neighborhoods that reflect
their organic development, historical roles and traditions, modern needs, and economic health and
stability (Goal 10). Such strategies include thc designation of identified historic districts as National
Register and local historic districts in order to promote public awareness of these areas and to ensure
that thc districts will retain their historic character into thc future. The preservation plan also sets out a
work plan and timetable for implementing neighborhood objectives.
A series of surveys of thc North Side neighborhood came as a direct result of the preservation plan.
These surveys included thc Dubuquc/Linn Street Corridor (1996), the Original Town Plat Phase I Area
(1997), the Original Town Plat Phase II Area (1999), and thc Goosetown (Phase IH) Area (2000). Thc
Commission has followed similar procedures in thc past in surveying neighborhoods and successfully
designating them as both National Register and local historic districts. The most recent example is thc
Longfellow Historic District, designated locally in 2002, which brought the total number of historic
districts in Iowa City up to seven. (Thc number of local historic districts has since bccn reduced to
six, because the Muscatine Avenue Moffitt Cottage Historic District was merged for administra'dve
purposes into the adjacent Longfellow Historic District.)
One specific goal for thc North Side neighborhood identified in thc preservation plan is thc
combination of historic district, landmark, and conservation district designations for various parts of
thc North Side. In August and September 2000, based on an examination of previous surveys and a
pedestrian survey of thc neighborhood, consultant Marlys Svcndscn of Svcndscn Tyler, Inc., identified
several subarcas of thc North Side as potential historic or conservation districts. Thc four districts
proposed for nomination here were identified by the consultant as eligible for listing in thc National
Register.
Thc whole of thc North Side neighborhood south of thc Brown Street Historic District was identified
as eligible for conservation district status in thc preservation plan. Thc high percentage of older
buildings in thc North Side suggests that a significant subarea will remain eligible for conservation
district status even after the removal of thc four historic districts.
The proposed nominations also complement the State of Iowa's Comprehensive Historic Preservation
Plan by advocating public involvement in the neighborhood preservation process. The Commission's
attempts to identify, evaluate, and preserve Iowa City's historic resources through surveys, the
designation of local historic and conservation districts, and the nomination of districts to the National
Register if determined to be eligible, are also in keeping with State goals.

H. Past Grant Contract Performance
The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission has a long record of completing grant programs
successfully. In 1983, a CLG gram was awarded to establish a preservation library in the Iowa City
Planning and Community Development department. The materials are accessible to the public,
Planning Department staff, and members of the Commission. The library is still in operation and is
continuously updated. A 1988 grant allowed the Commission to compile and print a Guide to Historic
Iowa City, creating an awareness of local historic buildings and neighborhoods. Because of the local
demand for these "guide maps," a second priming was funded by private donations. To date, over
15,000 copies have been primed. In 1990, the HRDP program provided a $25,000 grant to assist in
the preparation of the Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan, from which the current project has been
prioritized. The plan has been instrumental in guiding preservation initiatives in Iowa City. A 1993
CLG grant made possible a survey of the College Hill neighborhood, which resulted in the local and
National Register designation of the College Green and East College Street Historic Districts. A 1995
HRDP grant funded the National Register nominations for these two districts, which were listed in
1997. An HRDP grant in 1994 and a CLG grant in 1997 funded a survey of the Longfellow
neighborhood, which was designated an Iowa City Historic District in 2002. In addition to these state-
funded surveys, the City of Iowa City funded a survey of the downtown Iowa City commercial district,
competed in 2001.
In the North Side neighborhood, a 1992 CLG gram resulted in the listing of the Brown Street Historic
District in the National Register. The district has also been designated as a local district. A 1995 CLG
grant funded a survey of the Dubuque/Linn Street corridor, which recommended the designation of a
conservation district and a number of individual local historic landmarks within this area. The North
Side and adjacent Goosetown neighborhoods were surveyed in three phases. The first phase was
funded by a 1996 CLG grant, the second phase was assisted by a 1997 HRDP grant, and the third
phase was funded by a 1999 CLG grant. The consultant recommendations made in and resulting from
these previous surveys led to the present grant application.
The City of Iowa City and its Historic Preservation Commission have a proven record of following its
Historic Preservation Plan, of completing grant-funded projects and implementing the
recommendations of its surveys for legislation and historic districting. Previous grant-funded projects
have helped improve the image of and support for historic preservation in Iowa City. It is hoped that
the current momentum and community interest coupled with grant ftmds will allow us to collect the
necessary data to support additional historic district, conservation district,, and historic landmark
designations to protect the older threatened neighborhoods in Iowa City and leave a valuable legacy
for future generations.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 12, 2002
TO-' City Council
FROI4: Steven Nasby, Community and Economic Development Coordinator~
RE: Recommendation on CDBG Economic Development Funding -
Revolt Skateboard Shop
On November 6 the Council Economic Development Committee voted to recommend
funding for this project and submit the project to the City Council for consideration.
Revolt Skateboard Shop, 91 Commercial Drive, applied for $35,000 in assistance through
the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Economic Development Fund.
Revolt Skateboard Shop opened in September 2000 and offers year-around, indoor skating
facilities. :in addition, to the skating facility they sell related goods (e.g. skateboards, parts
and clothing).
The application stated that CDBG funds would be combined with a Targeted Small Business
Loan, which would enable the business to remodel their facilities and significantly increase
the number of skaters the site can accommodate.
The Council Economic Development Committee recommended funding for Revolt
Skateboard Shop as follows:
· A one-year $12,500 grant
· Quarterly financial reports be submitted to the City
· The City's CDBG allocation is contingent on Revolt Skateboard Shop receiving a
Targeted Small Business Loan
If the CDBG funds are approved, Revolt Skateboard Shop would create one full-time job
that would be available to a Iow-moderate income person and retain one full-time position
(owner).
Tf you have questions regarding this project or need additional information please contact
me at 356-5248.

Revolt Skateboard Shop
It has come to my attention that William DeSouza, owner of Revolt Indoor
Skateboard Park and shop, has applied for a grant to expand the park, get bleachers for
an amateur skateboarder contest and renovate the interior of the park. I read in an
article a few weeks ago that you need more information about how the park will be
profitable and how the city will benefit from the parks improvement before you will
offer Will this grant. I am writing this letter to give you further information.
My name is Ed Hall. I'm an eighth grader at South East Junior High. I have been
skateboarding since the spring of 2000. I first met Will at his original, run down, little
park in the summer after sixth grade. Since meeting him I have come to truly appreciate
what he has done for me and all the skateboarders of Iowa City. He has taught us how
to do tricks, given us a place to skate, and above all been our friend. Through Will's
encouragement I have learned what skateboarding is truly about, fellowship,
perseverance, and enjoyment of life.
Not only will giving Will this grant help the skateboarders of Iowa City
and William, it will also help you. The more time kids spend skateboarding at Revolt,
the less time they will be skateboarding on public property.
Why will this new layout of ramps make such a difference, you ask? I hear
kids all the time talk about the size of the ramps at revolt "its to big" they will say or
"its to steep" ! have seen wills new plans for the park and I can assure you the new
ramps will be more befitting to kids and adults of all ages and skill levels.
You may also argue that you just built us a skate park but this park lacks
the "street" obstacles like stairs and gaps. It's also in a difficult location to get to and
can't be used in the winter. Will's park is in a much more convenient location and the
new set up for his new park contains the street obstacles kids look for on public streets
and sidewalks. It can also be used in the winter.
So I urge you, my friends urge you, to please consider Will for this grant.
I appreciate your interest in gathering more information on this subject. Thank you for
your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Ed Hall
