Contact Person: Ron O'Neil, Airport Manager

Requested Action: Final plat approval
Purpose: To resubdivide Lots 1-4 of the North Airport

Location: South side of Ruppert Road
Size: 26.74 acres
Existing Land Use and Zoning: Vacant; P/CI-1
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Vacant; P/CI-1

Comprehensive Plan: Intensive or Highway Commercial
File Date: November 7, 2002
45 Day Limitation Period: December 22, 2002
60 Day Limitation Period: January 6, 2003
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In 2000 the final plat of the North Airport Development, a 17-1ot, 57.13 acre intensive commercial
development, was approved. The intent of the Airport Commission was to lease the lots in the
North Airport Development to commercial tenants, and use the lease revenue to support airport
operations. The Airport Commission now believes there is more of a market to sell the lots as
opposed to leasing. In order to sell lots 1-4, on the south side of Ruppert Road, the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that the area defined as the Transitional Safety Zone
remain in Airport control and not be sold.
The intent of the North Airport Development Part Two subdivision is to separate out as outlots the
area defined as the Transitional Safety Zone, on the south side of Lots 1-4.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed subdivision consists of four lots and four outlots. The four development lots are
all accessed from Ruppert Road, a public street. The four outlots all border airport property,
and are proposed to be created to satisfy transitional safety zone requirements. The
Transitional Safety Zone is an area parallel to runways that has some height and use
restrictions for aviation safety.
The four outlots are accessible from Ruppert Road (Outlot lA borders Ruppert Road) for
maintenance purposes. The outlots will remain the property of the Iowa City Municipal Airport.
A note on the plat indicates that the outlots are to be controlled by the City of Iowa City to insure
compliance with Transitional Safety Zone requirements.
In other aspects, the proposed plat is consistent with the already approved North Airport
Development subdivision.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB02-0002;~, a four-lot, 26.74-acre subdivision with four outlots located
in the Public/Intensive Commercial zone on the south side of Ruppert Road, be approved, subject
to the approval of legal papers prior to Council consideration.

MEMORANDUM
DATE:December 3, 2002
TO: City Council /,..~ _ ~/~ ,
FROM: Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager
RE: Settlement Agreement Between City and Mediacom
I will attempt to summarize for you the provisions set forth in the settlement agreement
between the City and Mediacom which is on your agenda for consideration.
1. Mediacom will introduce new a la carte pricing for premium services. A subscriber will be
able to buy a digital premium channel and rent a digital converter for approximately $7 per
month less than the cost of purchasing a digital service tier and the premium service.
2. Anyone who upgraded to a digital tier earlier this year because they believed it necessary
in order to keep their premium service will be given a credit back ~o February, 2002 if they
now choose to downgrade their service and purchase their premium service a la carte.
3. Mediacom will provide each subscriber with a $10 coupon which can be applied to any
upgrade in service.
4. Mediacom will provide a simplified schedule of available services and charges so that
subscribers can more easily compare prices and select the service they desire.
5. The City will withdraw its notice of violation of the franchise agreement and will cooperate
with Mediacom in communicating to all subscribers the simplified schedule of services and
charges.
These provisions are set forth in greater detail in Sections 1 and 2 of the settlement
agreement. Staff and the Iowa City Telecommunications Commission recommend approval of
the settlement agreement.
