KARR, CITY CLERK `v~""~ 31~~ ~~ ~~G r ~~'_,--.,®~ CITY OF IOWA CITY. 4b ~ ~~~~~~~ ~"~W'~'~ RA N D U 1VI ~EMCJ Date: March 19, 2009 To: City Council From: Robert Miklo, Senior Planner Re: REZ08-00011/ SUB08-00010 Country Club Estates Parts 3-8 At the March 10 meeting the Council asked staff to investigate moving the right-of-way of Rohret Road 17 feet to the north to help preserve trees on the south side of the street. Council also asked staff to investigate the possibility of clustering of development to create open space and some variety of housing types in the southern portion of the development. Rohret Road Right-Of-Way Ron Knoche, the City Engineer, has been discussing Rohret Road with the applicant's engineer. The City Engineer will evaluate the right-of-way needs in a separate memo. Slothower Road As discussed in the staff report and specified in the conditional zoning agreement, the southern portion of Slothower Road must be vacated by the County, or that portion of the subdivision must be redesigned to avoid the creation of double fronting lots between Prescott Lane and Slothower Road. The applicant has not come to agreement with the neighboring property owner and the County regarding the vacation of Slothower Road, therefore the southwestern portion of the subdivision can not be preliminary platted at this time and is now shown as Outlot D for future development. The applicant is still requesting that Outlot D be rezoned from Interim Development (ID-RS) and Rural Residential (RR-1) to Low Density Single Family Residential (RS-5). He will submit a preliminary plat once the issue of Slothower Road is resolved. Clustering & Open Space Before discussing the possibility of clustering development, I would like to provide the Council with information about our previous discussions with the applicant. Approximately 2 years ago the applicant submitted Attachments A, B and C as a proposal for townhouses along Rohret Road. The plan included 124 dwelling units. The plan provided vehicular access to the units by a rear lane or driveway. With the exception of the townhouses that front onto Prescott Lane, the townhouses would not have a street in front, but would have a landscaped court yard instead. Staff advised the applicant that the development was too dense, did not contain sufficient open space and we would not recommend approval of the plan as initially submitted. We did tell the applicant that we felt that some form of attached housing would be appropriate if the plan contained more open space. This position is supported in the Comprehensive Plan policy of encouraging a diversity of housing types in new neighborhoods and the Southwest District Plan indicates that if well-designed, the portion of Country Club Estates adjacent to Rohret Road may be suitable for clusters of medium-density residential uses, such as townhouses or condominiums. Based on the applicant's current subdivision design and their previous clustering concept, staff prepared the attached sketch (Attachment D) to illustrate how clustering of dwellings could be done to create open space and a net gain in dwelling units. The plan includes 38 townhouses and 3 acres of open space (the applicant's current design for this part of the subdivision contains 27 single-family lots and no common open space). This alternative plan places the March 19, 2009 Page 2 open space directly across Rohret Road from several of the existing houses located in the county which would help preserve their views. The plan also provides room for additional right- of-way for Rohret Road, if it is determined that the road should be shifted to the north. We presented this plan as a concept to the developer to show how clustering could be designed to be compatible with the larger neighborhood and the Comprehensive Plan. There may be other designs that could achieve these objectives. Similar cluster designs have been successful in other neighborhoods, such as Windsor Ridge. The applicant indicated that he would consider including the open space if it was subtracted from Outlot B, the open space to be dedicated in the northern part of the subdivision. He did say that he did not want to cluster units because the presence of attached housing may hinder the marketing of the single family lots. If the majority of Council wished to require clustering of units and the creation of open space in the southern part of the subdivision, this could be done as part of the Planned Development Overlay rezoning. The open space could be maintained by the home owners association or dedicated to the City if the Parks and Recreation Commission chose to accept it. It should be noted that if the property is rezoned to RS-5 without a condition that a planned development be required in the future for the Outlot D, the City will not be able to require clustering or creation of open space. So if the Council wishes to see clustering and open space included in Country Club Estates, Parts 7 and 8, the conditional zoning agreement should include a requirement for a future planned development that will include clustering. An alternative that would preserve the City's rights to require clustering would be to retain the current ID-RS and RR-1 zoning on Outlot D. This would require the applicant to submit another rezoning request after the issue of Slothower Road is resolved. At that time the issue of clustering and open space could be addressed. This would also preserve the City's ability to require more right-of-way or construction easements for Rohret Road if it is determined necessary once the street is designed. The zoning and preliminary plat for the remainder of Country Club Estates (parts 3-6), could be approved now. Staff Recommendation If Council wishes to require the clustering and more open space in the southern part of Country Club Estates, staff recommends that condition zoning agreement require a planned development include clustering for a portion of Outlot D, or that Outlot D retain it current ID-RS and RR-1 zoning.

The preliminary plat stage of Iowa City's development process does not require construction drawings to be complete. The construction drawings are completed prior to the Final Plat approval. The current proposal requires the Developer to construct, at their cost, the piece of Rohret Road from the end of the curb and gutter section to west of Rohret Court. The remainder of the reconstruction will be an Iowa City project. Apre-design meeting will be held with the neighborhood prior to the design being completed. This allows the neighbors to be involved in the design process. Keep in mind, all of the requests of the neighbors cannot be incorporated into the final design. The items listed below are the major design and construction questions that have been brought up during the public hearing and observations from a field review. • The centerline of the road could be shifted to the north, but the right of way width of 50 feet on the north side of the existing centerline will be sufficient. • The road centerline must connect with into the existing centerline to the east and west of the project limits. • Temporary construction easements along the south right of way line will be required. • The ditches along the road will need to be filled in with this project. This may require a wider temporary easement along the south west end due to the topography of the land. • It appears that a majority of the trees are outside of the existing right of way, but will be in the temporary construction easement. • Some bushes and volunteer trees within the fence line and at some driveways must be removed to complete the project. • City projects are designed and constructed with the preservation of trees as an objective. You can find examples of this in the Rohret Road corridor to the east of this project, Mormon Trek Boulevard along Finkbine Golf Course and more recently on Lower West Branch Road. • The City Forester is consulted during the design to find out the health of the trees and define the root zone area. This varies by tree species. • The practice during construction is to place safety fence around the trees outside of the root zone. This keeps heavy equipment from compacting this area. • The portion of Rohret Road from Rohret Court to the west will not have sidewalks installed on the south side with the reconstruction project unless these properties are annexed prior to construction. • It can not be guaranteed that the existing trees will not be affected by construction. • It is not anticipated the overhead power line will be moved. Staff will attend the meeting on Tuesday, March 24~h to address any further questions. ,~--C~ w ~~ ~, __._ ~_:.~ u, ~: S ~ J Development n R `` 2231 E. 45th Street Davenport, IA 52807 ~ ~ ` ~ ~ ~=~ ____ rn U ti c~ March 18, 2009 ~ `' ~ °~ Ci `^~ n ~ Bob Miklo ~'" J ~~ Senior Planner, City of Iowa City ; ~ o Iowa City, IA ;;,~,~;;. ~~--~ _ Dear Bob: I appreciate the time you and Christina have given to the Country Club Estates project as we try to progress our application to rezone and plat through council. Last week, we discussed the three issues you felt the council appears to be most concerned about. First: The trees along the south side of Rohret Road. Second: The possible opportunity to incorporate a green space in the future 7th and/or 8th phases of the project. And third: The council's exploration for the opportunity to add clustering into these phases. When we met on Friday, March 13th, we discussed all of the above including a ~, , conceptual drawing of what you envisioned clustering would entail. When I lef~jI told you I would meet with the ownership group of S&J and with our prospective bins as tar their feelings and thoughts about our discussion. I had also attempted to reach o~ir~ a ~~~ few of the neighbors that were present at the public hearing. I was able to leaved-; ~ unreturned message with the Hageman's', but I could not find a phone number fdr~ r Jewell's' or Jayne Schneider. I did reach out to Brian and Lisa Kouba, who live ='` Country Club Estates in a home bordering the north side of Phase 3. ~ ~ ~ w 0 After meeting with our owners and prospective buyers, Duane Musser (MMS Consultants) and I met with you and Christina this past Monday to discuss where S&J would like to go from here. As requested, I want to follow up with you and reiterate our desire to move forward per our discussion. It is my understanding you will be passing this letter on to council in their Thursday packets. For all concerned, I will review and address the three topics we discussed. The first issue is the neighbors' concerns about taking appropriate care to design of the improvements of Rohret Road giving them peace of mind that their trees would not be harmed during the future construction. We agree with the neighbors that these trees are healthy and beautiful and this is a reasonable request. I drove out this past week to take a closer look at the trees in question and I am of the opinion that it appears there should be away to design the road without damaging these trees. I had asked Ron Amelon of MMS Consultants to meet with the City's public works director. My feedback from the city engineer was that a majority of the trees had a very high probability of non- disturbance. The only concern was about some trees located along or in the R.O.W. at the far western part of Rohret Road along the white railed fence property. I believe what ~qb ~_ 1"~l the neighbors want is reassurance that the future road be designed with care so that these trees remain in good health. On Monday, we both concurred that a design needs to be completed and that damage to these trees can more than likely be avoided without acquiring any additional property than what is required under city ordinance. The second issue was the desire for green space in the southern portion of our development. We concurred that our development not only meets but exceeds the green space requirement as currently shown, in addition to outlot A (pool, park and tennis courts). This particular issue before council is simply one opinion over another. One neighbor has made a pitch before council that his opinion is that the appropriate place for green space is on the south side of the wetland area. I understand that it is City staff's opinion that it is in the best interest of the general public to locate the green space in the area "outlot B." Your reasoning that outlot B is contiguous with the land the city has already acquired for its future underground water tanks allows for a greater public benefit - a bigger green space. I can appreciate staff's logic of combining the lots to create a larger open space for the public. Should the city have a change of opinion and would rather relocate the green space requirement from the area known as "outlot B" to an area in the future 7~' and 8~' additions, we would be open to this idea. As you will set,. we ; ~,, have REMOVED LOTS 39, 40, 41 AND 42 from the preliminary plat to accomi~o~iate '~ this possibility. ~' C ~ ~~= ~'' C°') ~ ~ Bob, I appreciate your idea of having three green spaces in Country Club Estates~~ -~ shown in your example of clustering.) We also understand your pitch for this to-ba~ privately held public green space? A public amenity privately improved, mainta insured and taxed? It is S&J's opinion that the financial integrity of this projec~could~ be jeopardized and a perpetual hardship would be created for the privately held real o estate. We believe relocation is reasonable but forcing any additional green space would not be in our best interest. The third issue appears to also be an issue of opinion and that is the need for clustering multifamily into the area. At the last council meeting, one council member asked about the possibility of clustering homes similar to another development in Iowa City. Under the current zoning request, we still have an opportunity to explore the possibility of doing such a project. Because this area will not be developed for at least 5 years, we feel it is inappropriate and irresponsible to mandate clustering. The one thing land developers understand is that markets can change. Demand for types of housing can change fast. One year, a particular market can be "hot," and in the next year the demand can disappear. It is difficult to predict the real estate market five years from now. With our current zoning request, we accomplish two things. First, we assure the builders we are currently working with if their market continues; the zoning is in place to continue future development as shown in the preliminary plat. If the markets change to where there is a growing demand for clustering, our current zoning allows for this. Mandating clustering could paralyze the fiktlpre: development o`f this .. property. ~~-~, l ~'-~' 3~ ; I ~ ~ ,_ __ ~ 1' ~.~ t (, ~~ __ -,.__._ ` ` ` Second, we feel that we have earned trust of the neighbors by proposing a development that may not be perfect, but certainly livable. If you review the record, the majority of the neighbors who came to the public hearing testified that they do not oppose our development. At the last council meeting, a council member gently scolded us and assumed that we did not listen to concerns at our neighborhood meetings. Contrary, we did listen to the folks with the acreages as well as the rest of the neighbors who came to our good neighbor meeting. The one thing that was clear was the opinion that the neighbors in general did not want clustering in this area. I believe the plan before you shows compromise and it meets the goals of the City when it comes to offering a variety of lots and home price points. In the general area, we see many lot sizes. We see the acreages in SW Estates. We see a mix of lot sizes that are medium to large by any city's standards and we see lots that are smaller lots with only 60' frontages. The price point offerings will hit an array of markets. These markets will include first time buyers, young families, second and third level move-ups, baby boomers and retirees. We ask that zoning and platting be approved as submitted. The plat under consideration offers flexibility for all the issues on the table. We have spent months working with City staff, the neighbors and the real estate community to generate a succession to our first two phases. We have two builder groups who are interested in starting foundations this fall and we request moving forward without delay so that we can reach agreements with these parties.
