I hereby inform the City Council of the following, related to the recent flood and FEMA buyout process. 1. I strongly urge the City Council to pursue FEMA mitigation by acquisition, or buyout, for the entire Idyllwild development (inclusive of all addresses) ASAP. 2. I would be willing to consider voluntarily accepting a buyout that includes the following: 85% of 110% of the assessed value of my home; 75% to come from FEMA, 10% to come from the State of Iowa. I would consider volunteering to forego the 15% that Iowa City would be required to pay with the understanding that Iowa City will be assessed the expenses for removing my unit. I appreciate the work that the City Council is doing to move forward as quickly as possible to submit a letter of intent and subsequent application for buyout from FEMA, before the September 12th deadline. I would be more than willing to provide whatever additional information the City Council or City Manager may require about my particular circumstances in order to move forward as expeditiously as possible.

They indicated that one of the most significant ways to help is to contact policy-makers to encourage buy-outs of flood prone land. I agree with them. Environmental professionals such as myself work to protect natural resources, reduce waste, save energy, and save Iowa's precious soil. The floods impacting developments within floodplains are the antithesis of this. Environmental professionals encourage people to recycle milk jugs and switch off their lights--good acts. But they seem futile when I see the waste, in terms of natural resources and embodied energy, in areas such as flooded-out Idyllwild. I encourage you to work toward long-term solutions that will ultimately be far less costly than the short-term--yet still quite expensive--fixes for flooded areas. I encourage you to advocate for buy- outs of these properties. It's the right thing to do for the future, for the environment, and for the people displaced from those neighborhoods. Thank you for your time. Feel free to contact me if you have questions. Susan Salterberg 337-4816 P.S.--Future laws should prohibit development in these lands, but if the pressure is too great to pass such legislation, I am supportive of a financial assurance program for developers who want to develop in any flood-prone lands. I'd be interested in seeing a program that worked similar to landfill financial assurance programs. 7/7/2008 Page 1 of 1 Marian Karr From: Kurt Kimmerling [kurtkimmerling@msn.com] Sent: Friday, July 04, 2008 8:16 AM To: Council; Michael Lombardo Subject: Idyllwild Press Release Attachments: Press Release 20080704.doc Announcement of our July 7 Idyllwild Homeowners' Meeting that you are welcome to attend. 7/7/2008 July 4, 2008 Idyllwild Homeowners Association Iowa City IA 52245 Press Release To Whom It May Concern For immediate release. Please announce the following not-for-profit event: The Idyllwild Homeowners Association will meet Monday evening at 6:OOPM in the Coralville Public Library's lower level. The Association will discuss: 1. Mold mitigation progress 2. Property tax abatement and the Johnson County Supervisors 3. Status of FEMA buyout plans by the City Council of Iowa City 4. Discussion of possible reconstruction plans Idyllwild is a community located just south of Foster Road in Iowa City. Our community is made up of 86 residences, all devastated by the June flood waters. For more information on this event, you can also call me at 319-331-5814.

Dilkes; Council Subject: Idyllwild Condominium health hazards if reconstructed and inclusion in FEMA buyout program From: John and Jo Cunningham 12 Idyllwild Ct. Idyllwild Condominiums Iowa City IA 52245 RE: Health risks of rebuilt Idyllwild condominiums and including them in FEMA Flood Mitigation Program We are saddened by the loss of our beautiful community, and we feel that it is lost forever. The buildings can never be made safe from health effects of mold. Many of our residents are elderly and/or disabled, and there are some families with young children. These would be the most susceptible, but there would be risk for all. Our vote to undertake the abatement was to be responsible and not to allow the buildings to sit and moulder while decisions are being made. We join the other residents of Idyllwild Condominium Community who voted nearly unanimously on June 24, 2008 to encourage the City Council to pursue a FEMA buyout of our community. We agree that Idyllwild is a good candidate for a buyout for the following reasons: --The community meets the published FEMA criteria for a buyout --Extensive present damage --Potential costs to rebuild more than 50~ the value of the condominiums --Significant risk of future flooding --Potential unanimity of residents' willingness to be bought out --Ease of negotiating with a single entity rather than 92 homeowners --Return to wetlands reduces future flooding risk to other portions of the community We thank you for your consideration of including Idyllwild Condominiums in any FEMA buyout plan. 1 Marian Karr From: LEONARD TERRY [lucyter@msn.com] Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2008 11:04 AM To: Marian Karr Subject: Including Ildyllwild Condominiums in FEMA Flood Mitigation Program From: Ana and Leonard Terry 21 Camborne Circle Idyllwild Condominiums Iowa City, IA 52245 RE: Including Ildyllwild Condominiums in FEMA Flood Mitigation Program We Ana and Leonard Terry join the other residents of Idyllwild Condominium Community who voted nearly unanimously on June 24, 2008 to encourage the City Council to pursue a FEMA buyout of our community.

We would volunteer to forego the 15% that Iowa City would be required to pay with the understanding that Iowa City will be assessed the expenses for removing our unit. 3. We would also pledge that if there is a newer development that meets the LEED's Guidelines and also meets our needs we would purchase one of those units. We appreciate the work that the City Council is doing to move forward as quickly as possible to request this buyout from FEMA. We would be more than willing to provide whatever additional information the City Council or City Manager may require about our particular circumstances in order to move forward. Sincerely, Karen J.

We are hereby informing the City Council that we are interested in the following: 1. We strongly urge the City Council to pursue a FEMA mitigation by acquisition, or buyout for our property mentioned above. 2. We would be willing to voluntarily accept a buyout that includes the following: 85% of the FEMA determined fair market value; 75% to come from FEMA, 10% to come from the State of Iowa.

We hope the City Council and City Manager are aware of the impact that special legal considerations generated by membership in the Idyllwild association has on our (and other owners') ability to respond to the flood. We need the city government's help in responding to this crisis. Sincerely, John and Martha Monick 35 Pentire Circle Iowa City, IA 319-621-5430 July 6, 2008 Members of the City Council, 410 E. Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa Dear Council Members: AILED 2(~1~ Jll1. -8 I~ I = t Q CITY c~ERK 14WA CITY, 14WA Thank you for all you have done during the Flood and as we begin recovery. Clearly, strong local leadership is absolutely necessary at this historic moment. You have the opportunity in front of you to provide the leadership to rebuild and revitalize our community. Further, you have an opportunity to set a standard for other Iowa communities as we build for the future. As part of this, it is requested that you pursue a FEMA buyout for the homes in the Idyllwild community. A petition has been presented to you listing our reasons for this request. In addition, when considering the relevance of Idyllwild condominiums for "buyout", we request the City Council review the original 1988/89/90 testimony and subsequent policy, engineering decisions, liabilities, and waivers for a complete assessment of Idyllwild being considered a buyout priority as a result of the Flood of 2008. Thank you all. We are more than willing to assist you in any way that may move the FEMA buyout process forward. Sincerely, The Idyllwild Board of Directors t Phi ell Member of the Board ~~ We, the undersigned owners of homes in the Idyllwild Condominium community request the City of Iowa City pursue a FEMA buyout of the homes in our community. This request is made for the following reasons: 1. The community meets the published FEMA criteria for a buyout 2. Extensive damage to each home 3. Potential costs to rebuild more than 50% the value of the condominiums 4. Significant risk to future flooding 5. A return to a flood mitigation area reduces future flooding risk to other portions of the community and protects the City of Iowa City from greater flood expenditures in the future 6. Significant developments that likely will cause greater flooding in the future including business and farming practices that contribute to an ever increasing speed of rainwater rushing into the Iowa River 7.

The new malls, subdivi C~el ale hThe ethanoUbiodiesel craze Creek and Muddy Creek obsolete almost as soon as it is p continues to plow under more CRP, hayfields, grassed waterways, woodlots, and other sorta permeable landscapes. Only data from the last 3-5 years fully represent runoff conditions as they actually exist today in the Iowa River Watershed. The 100 year flood level, as traditionally calculated, using the full historical data set, is almost certain to underestimate the actual level by a rather large amount. But using only the last few years is too small a data set to extrapolate meaningfully into the future. 2. A second approach is to delineate the floodplain as a geomorphic entity, and assume that the largest floods will fully occupy this area. This is easily done in some areas, quite difficult in others, especially where there are "first bottoms" and "second bottoms", which are old terraces left over from the last glacial episode. Floodplain areas tightly constrained by bedrock may also represent ancient conditions. Both complications exist in some places in the Iowa City area. A third method is modeling, the most widely known being the Corps of Engineers "standard project flood", the word "project" usually meaning dam or levee construction. The most intense known storm for the watershed is coupled with the worst known conditions and the resulting runoff is modeled as a kinematic wave. One downside is that it is not obvious what to actually plug into the model, especially in terms of scale. For example, some 40 years ago, a tiny watershed north of West Branch was in the path of 3 or 4 thunderstorms passing through, and within one day received an estimated 14 inches of rain, which locally was, of course, a disaster, but had little effect upon the Cedar River, into which it flowed. If I remember correctly, the standard project flood criteria to take the Coralville Reservoir to the top of the spillway was a six inch rain falling over the entire watershed within 24 hours, onto a soggy snowpack resting on frozen ground. When the dam was designed, these were probably very conservative criteria for the landscape which existed in 1950. Historically, modeling assumptions have often been tainted by political directives, for example to influence cosbbenefit ratios of proposed projects. In an era of rapid land use change, plus rapid climatic change, it is far too easy to build a model which will produce any answer you wish. "Blue sky" modeling also does not readily account for local irregularities, such as the collapse of a bridge into the river. So my message today is to proceed cautiously, even skeptically, with accepting any future flood level numbers as final answers, and attempt to evaluate the assumptions which went into generating the numbers.

Towering peaks form a western backdrop to the community, and the Great Plains sweep away to the east. Boulder Creek descends from the neighboring mountains, coursing through foothill canyons before emptying into the city and sunounduzg low- lying plains. The extreme topography with- in the Boulder Creek drainage basin sub- jects the urban area to severe flash floods when storms occur. Peak 100-year flows range from 12,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) on the main stem of the creek to sever- al hundred cfs on the smaller tributaries. Historically, settlement in Boulder cen- tered around access to the mountain canyon and the creek as a perennial water source. More recently, the city's attractive setting and climate have drawn further development, with an estunated population of _85,000 large- ly related to university, government and other professional activities. In 1969, Boulder was hit by a 10- to 25-year flood, which caused over $5 million in damages. The flood spurred the city's first attempt at floodplain management, which included a new floodplain ordinance and proposals for dredging and con- crete channels For Boulder Creek. Boulder citizens and City Council took a broader view of the values of the creek, though. They urged con- sideration of multiple objectives, in addition to flood conveyance, when mon," which would provide both recreation land and an area that high water could over- flow harmlessly. His advice was largely ignored, however, until the 1969 flood. After the 1969 flood, the city of Boulder began its first serious efforts to pro- mote effective management of dle Boulder Creek floodplain. The city instituted regula- tions to define and map a floodway in which residential development was prohib- ited, and proposed a master plan for major drainages. The plan proposed using tradi- tional structural flood control techniques; including a substantial amount of hard-lined channels. In the 1970s, the Corps of Engineers also proposed structuraLflood control measures, including c;,annelization, for the creek. the urban river coridors as community amenities was expressed in the 1978 Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, approved by an inter-governmental city- counry agreement. The Plan states: "The functional and aesthetic qualities of drainage courses and waterways shall be preserved and enhanced in a manner com- patible with a basically non-structural approach to flood control; and in particular, a non-containment approach to flood man- agement on Boulder Creek." Beginning in the 1970s, a succession of plans proposed a trail along the creek: the Denver Regional Council of Governments Open Space Development Plan (1977), the City of Boulder Parks and Recreatioi: Ptan (1979), the State Trails Master Plan (1981), the University of Colorado Campus Open Space Development Plan -.The final .design. for .the project' included strategies to revitalize' the creek for fish`,wildlife" and 'recreation, including',engineering 'w~hitewate~r boating f~eatu'res,' enhancing fisheries habitat, `and developing paved; and gravely: pathways that serve: bicyclists, ~, 'walkers,, .loggers and`" 'the handicapped. planning for the creek corridor. PLANNING PROCESS T O R A T I O N Plamiing for the Boulder Creek corri- dor dates back to 19.10, when. nationally known landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. recommended that the creek corridor be preserved as an "open com- 6 • September/October 1994 In the 1960s and 1970s, the city of Boulder was concerned about maintaining and enhancing the quality of life in the com- munity. It was involved with a variety of innovative comprehensive planning, growth management and open space plan- ning efforts. A strong interest in maultanung Tana anaw~- (1)81), and the City. of Boulder Plan for Boulder Creek (1981). Unfortunately, the proposals for dredging, vegetation removal and hardlining of Boulder Creek did not address conununiry interest in main- taining the aesthetic and envu~oiunen- tal qualities of the river corridors. The "non-contauunent" policy adopted by the city and county for Boulder Creek placed emphasis on buying land to maintain an undeveloped floodway rather than on stnictural flood control measures. The structural proposals also drew substantial opposition from citizens. City Council began pursuing alter- natives for the Boulder Creek corri- dor. Council, appointed a committee to make recommendations, and sponsored numerous public Bearings, neighborhood meetings, and other oppornmities for public input. The Planning Departrt vent developed the Boulder Creek Corridor Plan, which received widespread public support, and City Council approved the plan in 1984. H A B I T A T R E S T O R A T I O N The. Boulder Creek project began with the basic purposes of restoring environmen- tal features and establishing anon-motor- ized transportation corridor along the creek within .the city of Boulder. A series of objectives were identified which guide management of the creek, including: • Create an offstreet non-motorized transportation system; • Preserve and enhance fish and wildlife habitat; • Protect ecologically sensitive areas; • Protect and enhance riparian wet- lands; • Expand recreational use; • Protect water rights of multiple irriga- tion companies; • Maintain and improve flood carrying capacity of the waterway; • Protect water quality; and • Provide opportunities for active and passive recreation. The plan recommended developing a five-mile continuous path and linear park along the entire length of Boulder Creek through the city. The Einar design for the project included strategies to revitalize the creek for fish, wildlife and recreation, including engineering whitewater boating feanrres, enhancing fisheries habitat, and developing paved and gravel pathways that serve bicyclists, walkers, joggers and the handicapped. With assistance from engineering con- sultants, the city developed specific design guidelines for the project. A maintenance plan for the corridor was also developed, with the input of the responsible organiza- tions. The plan coordinates the mainte- nance duties of five city departments, the University of Colorado, and a trail ranger program. INNOVATIVE ASPECTS The City of Boulder carried out a num- ber of creative activities along Boulder Creek that meet multiple objectives.

Structures included upstream v-dams, angled boulder dams, boulder deflectors, s-dams, and double wing deflectors. Four irrigation diversion dams were modified to incorporate combi- nation boat chute/fish ladders, while still pemutting diversion. An underground fish observatory, open to the public, was buIlt beneath the creek, on the grounds of the Clarion Harvest House Hotel, which donat- ed arecreation easement to the city. Minimum Stream Flows Irrigation diversions significantly deplete flows in the creek during September/October and March/April. The Colorado Water Conservation Board requires a minimum stream flow in Boulder Creek of one cubic foot per second (cfs). To supplement this flow and maintain Fish habitat, the Public Works Department has agreed to allow five to ten cfs of its water right to remain in the stream.

A computer model is now used to manage the flows of the creek. Wetlands Several wetlands, which serve to con- tain and cleanse storm flows, were created or restored. The 18-acre Cottonwood Pond, a former gravel excavation adjacent to the creek, was acquired by the city through a land trade. Seventy-two acres of wetlands doubling as stomiwater retention/detention sites were also created or restored on University of Colorado property, including the University Research Park. Tributary Management The original flood hazard management plans for Boulder called for maintaining many of the tributary stream corridors as hard-lined channels. Water quality prob- lems due to non-point source nmoff, con- cern for fish and wildlife habitat, interest in protecting scenic qualities, and the opportu- nity to develop ti:e creek's potential for recreation and education, led the city of Boulder to a broad range of more innova- tive flood .management solutions. Traditional flood management projects were expanded to include bike/pedestrian paths that allow maintenance access, bio- engineering to stabilize stream banks, self- irrigation to conserve wetland vegetation, graceful boulder drops and other landscape engineering features to protect scenic integrity. University Research Park In 1987 the consultants who assisted with design and construction of the Boulder Creek corridor developed a master plan for a 180-acre University of Colorado Research Park complex along Boulder Creek and a tributary. The plan included complex multi- purpose design features for the 100-year flood channel along both watercourses. By proposing a wetland park within the flood- plain, the plan responded to interests in extending the recreation transportation cor- ridor and aesthetic qualities along Boulder Creek. It also showed concern for the quali- ty of nmoff re-entering the creek and the need to mitigate nine. acres of wetlands impacted by the development. Twenty- tlu-ee acres of wetlands, ponds, paths and other educational and recreational open space amenities were created, while cluster- ing development around courtyards, plazas and water features. Although much of the site was originally within [he floodplain, the site design removed this land from the floodway, except for the 23-acre wetland/open space complex, but main- tainedthe floodplain storage capacity. Best Management Practices for Non- Point Source Pollution On a demonstration project on a sec- tion of Boulder Creek east of Boulder, sev- eral instream improvements and "Best Management Practices" were designed to control .non-point source pollution, stabilize streambanks, and improve wildlife habitat. The actions included: • fencing to exclude cattle but permit wildlife access; • tree revetments to stabIlize eroding streambanks and reduce sediment input; • terracing of steep banks and removal of streambank berms to provide for regrowth of riparian vegetation; • excavation of a low flow channel to concentrate and cool flows; • willow and cottonwood plantings to shade and cool the stream and remove pol- lutants before they enter the stream; • construction of boulder v-dams and aeration stnicnires to increase instream oxy- gen and carbon dioxide concentrations. ACCOMPLISHMENTS The Boulder Creek Path was complet- ed in 1987, within three years of the com- pletion of the boulder Creek Corridor Plan. Total cost was $3.3 million; city funding was supplemented by $1.3 million from the Colorado Lottery as well as a variety of pub- lic and private revenue sources. The Boulder Creek Corridor is very popular as a recreation area and transportation corridor. Fishing and waitewater boating, as well as bicycling and walking, are possible on the creek within downtown Boulder. The path- way is undoubtedly the most heavily used recreational facility in the city, with an esti- mated 4,000 people a day using heavily traf- ficked stretches on busy summer days. With the completion of the fish habitat improvements, Boulder Creek now has viable trout habitat in the heart of the city. The creek and two Kids' Fishing Ponds are stocked regularly with trout of up to twenry- fourinches. The underwater Fish observato- ry is a popular attraction. Low flows pro- hibit a naturally reproducing fishery; how- ever, the city is committed to maintaining sufficient flows to support, a fishery. With the increased uses of the stream channel, flood capacity is not reduced, and water rights are not unpacted. Experts predict that nonpoint source pollution demonstration projects will elimi- nate the need for wastewater treatment tow- ers. Based on the success of the project, the institution of best management practices (BMPs) was proposed to control non-pouit source pollution on the entire creek corri- dor. Boulder is recognized nationally both as a city that retained ahigh-quality environ- mental and aesthetic character, and as a community that had remarkable success in planning and managing its growth and development to serve broad public inter- ests. The multi-objective Boulder Creek planning solution generated From the public planning process resulted. in the community and political support needed to obtain financial backing. Beyond nutigating flood hazards, the Boulder Creek corridor is a key amenity contributing to the attractiveness of the city. It bisects some of the city's most heavily developed ares, yet retains its integrity as a natural, tranquil, greenway corridor. The success of the project is a source of pride among the many citizens, profes- sionals and landowners who have con- tributed to improving their own environ- ment.
